Why Not Put The Engine In? An R. F. C. For Industry Would Move The Load? r ~/nn L°A**ro 8fiHI<S rifr\ r i.oa»sTO Z^Jlfm \ Industry is the motive power— the indispensible dynamic force that will pull us out of economic slough. As Industry stagnates, so will everything dependent upon it stag nate. In an effort to improve con ditions, Uncle Sam has so far ap plied first aid remedies mostly to the things that have been affected by industrial stagnation. He has overlooked the trouble with Indus try itself. ' The trouble today with Industry: is that it suffers from the same' shrinkages and depreciations that! made it necessary for banks, insur ance companies, railroads and agri- ; culture to seek government loans. Though each of these groups is of vital importance to our nation as a ' whole, each is in some manner de pendant upon industrial prosperity —upon industrial payrolls—to keep going. Without these payrolls, whete will banks get deposits? Where will insurance companies get pre miums? Where will railroads get carriers? To whom will farmers | sell their produce? |; And' without the same kind of issistance from the government as hese groups have received, how can ndustry right itself and maintain >r increase its payrolls? The solution to our troubles is >bvious. Provide an RFC for In lustry; give the nation’s working nen and women a chance to get aack on the jobs with steady in :omes, and Uncle Sam’s prosperity :ar will be in good running order. We’ll all be able to climb in, Uncle Sam will get behind the vheel, and U. S. A. will ride on to letter times with Industry cheer ully pulling the load. President Gets Encouragement From Leaders Continued from page one planning something along this line and a program for establishing in termediate banks to assist the Fed eral Reserve system is contemplat ed. Winthrop Aldrich, chairman of the board of the Chase National bank, was another caller at the White House.

Crowd Smacks As Prize Liquor Shown New York—The first internati anal beer, twine and liquor show apened with a $2,000,000 display af the vineyard, brewery and dis tillery products of more than a dozen countries. Grand Ceneral palace, accustom ed to flower and automobile shows, looked upon a strange scene as the answers to what, when, where, how, and why to drink were ranged along two floors. With a lusty wallop that brought a general smacking of lips among the onlookers, Joan Lowell, the martime author, smashed a mag num of American champagne on the front steps to open the show. "This,” said Miss Lowell, " is a very shabby way to treat good champagne.” After a lot of mixing, shaking and jiggling, Bartender Dan Don nelly of the Biltmore was adjudged to have produced the best concoc tion, a fresco cocktail with a rum base. . The bartenders went away then, and the crowd sifted through the booths, fashioning mental cocktails out of the things they saiw. Instant popularity descended on two booths that had samples to give away. At one booth, there were a fetching blonde and a fas cinating brunette who gave away little bottles of wine along with a lecture in winged words on how good it was. At a small bar in another booth a glass of beer could be sipped while listening to a talk on refri gerating equipment. All the accessories to gentle manly imbibing were there, from fruit squeezers to chromium placed bar fixtures. Here is the "world’s champion ship” cocktail mixed by Donnelly: One lime. Pineapple muddled. Teaspoon powdered sugar. Jigger barcardi rum. Well frapped and strained into cocktail glass. Condemn Lynch Law and Mob Rule Severe condemnation of mob violence and demand for string ent anti-lynch lavs were contain ed in resolutions adopted by the annual conference of the North Carolina Commission on Interna tional Cooperation. Enactment of a state law em powering and instructing the gov ernor to remove immediately from office any officers of the law who fail to protect their prisoners was strongly urged. Also advocated was the teaching in the public schools of the ab horrence of lynching. Governor Ehrirghaus was peti tioned to recommend the requested legislation at the next session of the general assembly. The resolutions were prepared by a committee appointed at the morning session after Dr. W. A. Stanbury, of Greensboro, who pre sided, denounced mob violence and pointed to—without calling names —the lynching of Dock Rogers in THIS HAPPENED RIGHT HERE IN SALISBURY A young matron was in the act of dressing one morning, when she heard a knock at the back door, thinking it was the ice man with his morning delivery she went in to the kitchen and unlocked the door, and then being in her negli gee she stepped into the kitchen closet and shut the door until the ice man could' place the ice in the refrigerator and leave, then intend ing to lock the door again.

Dog Saves Boy As Hunt Fails Grand Island, Neb.—A crowd of ISO farmers searched futilely for three hours for Ronald Pauly, two and one-half year-old boy, who disappeared from his home at sundown the other night. Just as the distraught father, William Pauly,- was driving home from the wearisome hunt, a small white terrier, constant companion of the missing boy, bounded into the road in the glare of Pauly’s car lights. The father followed the dog to a fence, where Ronald had become entangled and had gone to sleep, fatigued from his efforts to free himself. He suffered! no ill ef fects.

Ralph Capone Pays $10,000 For Freedom Brother of 'Al’ to Be Released Front Prison February 27; Rum Charges Quashed. Chicago—Ralph Capone, Federal income tax violator, has saved him self an extra 30 days’ imprison ment at McNeil Island by payment of a $10,00 fi^e imposed at the time of his three-year sentence, it has been learned. The Government has seized a $10,000 cash bond posted by Ca pone in payment of the levy against him, and he also has paid an additional $500 in court costs and fees, rather than have any ass essment made against property holdings. He is to be released; Feb ruary 27. Capone, a brother of the notori ous Al, now serving a 10-year sen tence in Atlanta Federal prison for income tax violations, may stop in Tacoma, where he has friends, be fore proceeding homeward. Some minor prohibition law vio lations are pending here for action upon Ralphs release from prison. These, however, are now quashed by the recent action of the Fed eral Government in dropping pros ecution of pending cases based on the prohibition laws. While in prison, according to reports reaching here, Capone has been on the "hard labor’’ gang, using a pick and shovel until he demonstrated he was willing to abide by all prison rules. Recently he has been the cook for the prison guards. An intention to go into business here is believed the cause of pay ment of the fine, which he could have avoided by pleading under the Pauper Act and serving an addi tional 30 days’ sentence.
