NATIONAL ROAD MEN TO MEET AT SALT LAKE ( ity Host To Delegates During Week Os Sept. 28 Salt Lake City. Sept. 22—GJ.R)— One of the outstanding national conventions, which will be held in the West this year, is that of the American Association of State Highway Officials, convening here Sept. 28. The convention will be called to order by Henry H. Blood, president, who also is Utah State Highway Commission chairman, and formerly president of the American Association of State Highway Officials. Governors of several western ] states. Congressmen, federal and state highway officials will be on ; the program. All Indications are that the attendance will be the largest of any similar meeting of the national Jbdy since its formation. due somewhat to the fact that 1931 will go down in road I history of the United States as the ] record year for highway construc- ; tion in the 48 states. Thomas H. MacDonald. United States Bureau of Public Roaift i j chief, will be one of the federal officials attending and will make one of the feature addresses. George H. Dern, Governor of | Utah, is on the program and being one of the leaders in the good roads movement will have much to say one this subject. James Rolph. Jr., Governor of California, also will attend. Charles H. Purcell. California I state highway engineer, will have ] a paper on the vast amount of ] road construction work which that I state has done this year and Col. ] Carlos W. Huntington. Registrar | ot Contractors of California, will j tell the visitors about California’s licensed contractors’ law. Nevada and Arizona have adopted similar licensed contractors’ laws. o — XKKIVALS Mr. and Mrs. Tom Noll, rural route 9.

Sept. 22—<U.R>— Because he was inexperienced as a gang leader. Benny Meyerson had I not learned that it is a very bad idea to go walking with strange blondes, and Benny's friends i agreed today’ that he must have , been very simple, indeed. Benny tried to sit on the throne occupied by the late Meyer Shapiro, of East New York, and succeeded for two nights. Ou the . third, he accepted a telephone invitation from a girl, and met her at -Pitkin Avenue, Brooklyn. A car approached the couple, two men ] jumped from it and fired two shots through Meyerson’s head, | leaving him dead on the sidewalk. The girl disappeared in the j crowd.

kJI RE! When a word fits, you know it! “Satisfy” just Jits CHESTERFIELD. A smoker picks up a package, and he likes its neat appearance —no heavy inks or odors from ink. That satisfies him. Then he examines a Chesterfield. It is wellfilled; it is neat in appearance; the paper is pure white. And that satisfies him. He lights up. At the very first puff he likes the flavor and the rich aroma. He decides that it tastes better — neither raw nor over-sweet; just

TWO NATIONS FAIL IN PRICE FIXING PLANS Brazil and U. S. Intervene To Stabilize Farm Products WASHINGTON, D. C.—(U.R) — A striking similarity between government efforts in the United States and Brazil to stabilize farm products through federal intervention in speculative markets was pointed out here recently. In Brazil, the government sought vainly to stabilize coffee prices—in the United States, the Federal Farm Board attempted to stabilize wheat and cotton prices. Persons in close touch with the situation pointed out that Brazil’s coffee price control experiment proved unsuccessful to the point of disaster. The Brazilian coffee “valorization” effort was described in a recent statement by the Bank of Brazil as a “ruinous venture." The banik attacked the venfure and recalled that for the last 2 years the Brazilian government has attempted “by all conceivable means to valorize coffee” — that is to give it an artificial price in excess of the market quotations, which are subject to the operation of the natural economic law of supply and demand. The Brazilian experiment, it is now officially admitted, after numerous futile attempts, has placed the farmer there in a “worse po-

pleasing and satisfying. 1 hen he learns it is milder. That’s another way of saying that there is nothing irritating about it. And again he’s satisjied! Satisfy—they’ve got to satisfy! The right tobaccos, the CHESTERFIELD kind, cured and aged, blended and cross-blended, to a taste that’s right. Everything that goes into CHESTERFIELD is the best that money can buy and that science knows about. CHESTERFIELDS do a complete job of it. They SatisJ'y /

' sitionl than before.” Brazil's experience was in brief an attempt to control prices by buying up part of existing supplies and withdrawing it from the market. !
