Show THE HELPER TIMES. HELPER, UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Over Gandhi Tells Round-Tabl- e Conference India Must Have Progress in Plans for Relief. Self-Governme- -- i By EDWARD W. PICKARD MAHATMA GANDHI, clad only cloth and a white robe, and constantly sipping goat's milk from a vacuum bottle, was the outstanding figure In the round-tablconference on the status of India which got under way In St. James' palace in London. On the opening day he spoke no word, because It was his weekly day of silence, but in the evening, his period of silence having Gandhi ended, he made this rather pessimistic statement: "If our hopes and fears are in the balance, I am afraid welgid ' our ears will far outweigh our 'liopes. But it Is too early to make predittlons. We ought to be able to say a week hence whether our litres ultimately will overbalance our fears. At present everything is in the lap of the gods." He had listened to flowery and hopeful speeches by Lord Sankey, chairman of the federal structures committee, and 'several others, including Indian potentates, but he seemed bored and unimpressed. Next day, however, the mahatma was free to speak, and speak he did, letting the British know that the minimum demand he, as authornationalist ized by the congress. Is empowered to make Is for India, undiluted lie wanted the British to let him know very soon whether this would be granted, and was willing to let other minds work out the details. But If the answer was to be "No," he wished to return speedily to India and resume there his revolutionary movement. The queer looking little Hindu leader did not say this quite so bluntly as it Is written, but there was no mistaking his meaning, for lie is always unafraid to speak frankly. ijgdia. he said, was willing to a partner In the British empire, but that partnership must be Such that it may be terminated at the will of either party. "If God wills," he said, "it will be permanent partnership, but at the buoie uuie, me rigm 10 leruiiume the associtaion will constitute a real test of the equality of position by both partners. "There was a time when I was proud 'of being called a British subject but many years ago I stopped calling myself a British subject. I e All-Ind- u would far rather be called a rebel than a subject, but I still aspire to be a citizen, not of an empire, but of a commonwealth In partnership. "Not a partnership superimposed by one nation upon another, but a partnership of mutual agreement. In such a partnership India will be president of the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor, who told the conference that legislation of beer would do more to relieve unemployment than all other relief measures combined. He said this would afford, within six months, employment for more than 1,000,000 persons, besides providing a market, for farm - the important sessions was that of the American Legion labor conference In Washington, and In It the chief address was made by Maj. Gen. James G. i t 4 w Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America. He Gen. Harbord told the legion that the surest contention It could make toward the solution of the problem would be to offer Its services unreservedly to Tresklent Hoover, and continuing, he had some harsh words for those who advocate the demanding of full pnyjiicnt of soldier bonuses. "I can't Imnglne anything more ridiculous," he declared, "than your going to your Detroit conK'ntlon with a program to relieve the country's unemployment and depression problems In one hand and a tin cup other. You would be laughed ifff of the country." The prohibition Issue wns brought to the fore by M. II. McDonough, now io REAR ADMIRAL E.

The dominance of the conservatives in both the present cabinet and the house of commons makes it likely that the opposition to Indians demands will be stronger than when the round table first met last winter. The Tories have reiterated their position against those demands. It seemed certain that the debate would be long drawn out JJnnd probably at times acrimonious. xuc icuciai miuiiuica luiuiiii lice, Ignoring Gandhi's desire to have a decision on the general question of self rule first, went ahead with the working out of details. weeks, T) ANKERS, economists, - men and many other groups are holding almost daily conferences to see what can be done about unemployment and t)- .- recovery of prosperity. One of trade balance, and many think this means the government has decided to adopt a tariff policy. The London Daily Mail says there is a strong opinion In parliament that a general tariff of 20 per cent on all classes of foreign Imports will ultimately be adopted without an electoral appeal to the country. One immediate result of the wage cuts Instituted by the government was a threat of mutiny among the navy men of the lower rating.

Her children are daintily clothed and well fed, and her husband's every wish is anticipated. Spanish wives certainly have a natural charm, with their limpid dark eyes, soft voices, and quiet manners, and home Is indeed a place in which to be happy In sunny Spain. Hospitality Is second nature to these women, and the table welcomes any friends a husband may bring at any hour. These wives pride them selves that there Is always "plenty," and a husband may congratulate himself on the position of "lord and master," which his lovely wife con cedes him. Others will argue that Germany is the only country In which to choose a partner for life, since there one finds the perfectly capable woman. Ag:)in some say "choose the Italian If you would lead a life of bliss," for she Is soft, luring, blending her tastes to yours giving of herself artistic In home decoration proud of the name you have given her. She Is a tender mother to her children, loving, faithful yet Inspiring.

Her home Is exquisitely run, and there are the most marvelous foods because she enjoys eating and a man likes company and appreciation while eating good food. Perhaps Russian women are the most adaptable of all, and make wonderful wives In consequence. They have a quality of soul which Is without doubt more attractive even than the physical beauty In which they so often excel. The Dutch wife hag often been quoted as an example of tidiness, cleanliness, spotless order, and in her picturesque neat attire, serving a cup of "cocoa," has been described throughout the world while the Austrian woman Is a most gracious as well as an efficient wife, with her poise, dignity and laughing eyes; her sense of humor makes life gay, yet her table can only be rivaled by her Polish cousin, whose excellent varieties seem destined for publicity. American women have a certain flair for being well groomed In their persons and their homes, and this amazing quality makes them the type of wives who can do housework ; look after their own babies; prepare and serve a very tasty meal ; and yet be smart to dance la the evenings or make up a four for tennis, bridge or golf. But no woman can took like the English woman on a horse, at the races, or In her box at the opera! She has a certain dignity an Inbred poise which makes her the one type to preside over the long table In a country home.

It always lessens dignity. Chesterfield. D'ON'T be fooled by impractical Ingenious Patents Recorded at Washington. Many early vagaries of fishermen are recorded In the United States patent office. In 1S52 a patent was Issued on a fly with an chumber and an aperture. Thus the fly would float, if desired, or the aperture could be opened and the fly filled with water when fishing was desired. Variations in color of baits and feathers were suggested, "adapting them to the season of the year and to the description of fish." The earliest rod patent of record is "after the usual manner of walkteleing rods," with the butt-Jolscoping the other Joints, and having in the handle small compartments to contain "the various Implements of fishing tackle." The same Inventor also patented In the year 1852 a float containing a spring which, released by the slightest touch, would hook the fish. In 1854 was patented a hollow sinker Into which shot could be poured when the rapidity of the current or tide required a heavier patsinker. Another "fishing-lead- " ented In 1856 has a swivel to prevent line twisting and a hard metal base to protect the lead when striking bottom. In 1873 an "Improvement In an gling-flieswas patented In that the hook was concealed in the wings of the fly, making It "more deceptive and consequently more serviceable." The Invention which still provokes a laugh among patent office officials, says a Washington patent attorney, Is the lure which contained a mirror and which the inventor thus ex plained : "The mirror Is an additional fea ture that Insures the effectiveness of the bait In the following manner: A male fish seeing hla Image, upon looking therein, will appear to see another fish approach It from the opposite side with the Intent to seize air-tig- the bait, and this will not only arouse his warlike spirit, but also appeal to his greed, and he will seize the bait quickly In order to defeat the approaching rival. In case the fish Is suspected of cowardice, I may make the mirror of convex form In order that the rival or antagonist In the may appear to be smaller. case of a female fish the attractiveness of a mirror Is too well known to need discussion. Thus the halt appeals to the ruling passion of both sexes, and renders It very certain and efficient In operation." e Socialistic Belief is a type of Socialist doctrine, which, on the basis of the Marxian Communist manifesto, desires the Socialist aim by means of dictatorship of "the proletariat. The Communists believe, like the Socialists, In collective ownership of the means of production and that the revolutionary working classes must seize the power and set np a dictatorship of the proletariat In preparation for the Socialist state. Communism Many Kindt of After There are over 250 species of asters. They are native of temperate regions, being especially abundant throughout the United States. Asters belong to the family Compos-Ita- e and are so named from the radiate or star-lik- e appearance of the flowers. The China aster Is also a member of the family Composltae and is a native of China. Courage Comet First The general instinct toward a public man Is rarely wrong, especially ft'hen he possesses a high order of clvle courage. Courage Is the prime essential of statesmanship. "All goes If courage goes." As Doctor Johnson says: "Unless a man has that virtue he has no security for preserving any other." Washington Star.
