This firm sold the government 30.000 cots at 93.10 ind 6000 at 93.25. Conservation Coramiuloner Robert Fechner had nothing to do with placement of these orders. The only contract he has essayed was that with the Be Vler Co. for , $1.40 toilet kits. President Roosevelt is expected to visit Puerto Rico next winter or spring. As did Herbert Hoover, he will make the voyage aboard a battle ship. One of the ports of call probably will be the Virgin Islands. Former President Hoover spent five hours at this West Indian outpost and left to declare the Virgin Islands were "the world's most effective poor house." It may be that F. D. wants to take the curse off the abandoned naval base. He will be aided Immeasurably If prohibition Is repealed as promptly as he foresees. Rum was the princi pal product of the Virgin Islands. Now they're reduced to bay rum and nobody gets excited about that. A return of hard liquor would give y the islands & boom that would warm the cockles of the natives' hearts. Even without rum the Islands may come back. , Government scientists have discov ered that a plant flourishes there from which comes the extract for bug sprays. America now Imports large quantities from the Orient. We paid Denmark 825,000,000 for this naval coaling station. Then turned with the rest of the world to fuel oil. We'll take our Investment "back In rum or bug powder and no questions asked. An Interesting development is im pending In connection with forma tlon of Industrial codes. Newspapers are as liable to regu lation aa any other form of Industry. Irregularity of newspaper hours Is notorious. When a reporter gets on a hot story he may go forty-eight hours or more without sleep to wind It up. A New York tabloid with huge circulation has established the prac ticability of the five-day week pos sibly excepting a reporter's occasion al forays Into the realms of smash news. First test of the possibility of codifying newspapers may come when the Industrial Recovery admlnlstra i tlon reaches the paper Industry. Some of the larger newspapers and newspaper chains control their own forests and pulp mills. They even have steamship lines to bring their newsprint to them. In this field they are not In direct competition with anyone. They WHITE HOUSE DOG HAS OPERATION V 4 J ' V.: ir km !

Other industries have their pecu liar problems. This la notably true in the specialized groups with com paratively small capitalization. Take the soil pipe Industry for example. The mechanical process for manufacture of soil pipe requires constant attention of a laborer for ten hours on a stretch. The Industry overcame the gov ernments demand for a shortened working week by submitting a code that called for a 30-hour week three days of ten hours each. Pay will amount to $12.75 weekly. The Industry claims It will spread employment by about 50 per cent. That will pull a lot of men off the relief rolls. When the London Economic con ference gets around to serious discus sion of International trade If It lasts that long one very unpleasant obstacle is going to be encountered. World shipping tonnage has been Increased 100 per cent In the last 30 years. Trade has diminished 33 per cent. Two-thirds of the world's bottoms are now tied up because there just isn't any freight. What to do about this is making many a delegate reach for an aspirin Instead, of a highball.

Torture Threatened He was taken to the police station and-later was brought to his Chicago hotel, where he told Captain Gilbert and Police Lieutenant William Blaul that his abductors had demanded (500,000 ransom and had threatened him with machine guns and a pair of scissors when he told them he couldn't raise the money. When they demanded that he get the money from rich friends he said he told them that he "wouldn't put them on the spot." A farm house, northwest of Chicago overrun with cockroaches was believ ed by Factor to have been his place of imprisonment, but he was not cer tain because during the entire period of his captivity he was blindfolded with tape, which was not removed until a few minutes before his re lease. "They never harmed me, but they were pretty tough in their threats, Factor said. "Once they put machine guns against me one In back and another In front and they said they were going to kill me. "Another time they held a big pair of shears close to my face and let me feel it. They said they were going to cut my ears off."
