Start of Yank-Senator Riot r Mr* W ’V » k <■ " * G /?*■* sSrA f VWWW "M JI t. — I ♦ rSJfc'*'"' Here is the start of the free-for-all which enlivened the recent baseball game between New York Yankees and the Washington Senators, at New York. The fracas began when Buddy Myer (lower inset), of the Senators, accused Ben Chapman (upper inset), of the Yanks, of spjkmg him during Chapman’s slide into second base. Myer and Chapman proceeded to give a fistic exhibition in which most of their teammates joined. The spectators, chagrined at being left cut of the fun, then staged a battle royal of their own. After fifteen hectic minutes play was resumed, without Myer and Chapman, and the Yanks won, 16-0. Mystery of "‘Black Tom” Blast Explained by German Master Spy * * * * * * American Activities of Franz von Rintelen During World sVar Told in Book Dedicated to Daughter, Marie Luize, Who Was Mentioned in Recent English “Spy” Case. ■ q r H ' t ' > ! al wf LUIZE ' / Wj- .’i.

The method employed in causing the great ‘Black Tom” explosion in New Jersey, back in the days of the World War, is graphically described in a recently-published book, “The Dark Invader,” by Captain Franz von Rintelen, who was, he asserts, the master mind of Germany’s espionage system in America before the United States declared war on the Central Powers. Von Rintelen describes the “pencil bomb,” by means of which ha destroyed munition ships destined for the allies in Europe. The infernal machine, no larger than a cigar, consisted of a cylinder of lead, hollow at both ends, with the compartments thus formed divided by ■ thin copper plate. Acids of unspecified classifications were placed in each end of the cylinder and the device was planted among the cargo of the ship marked out for destruction In a given time the acids ate through the dividing plate. When they met and mingled spontaneous combustion followed. Although von Rintelen was in a British prison camp at the time of the “Big Tom” explosion, he claims to have engineered the affair. The book is of great interest to Great Britain, not because of the story it tells, but because of the dedication. For von Rintelen has dedicated his opus “To my daughter, Marie Luize." This 22-year-old daughter of the master-spy was mentioned in the recent cause celebre in which Lieutenant Baillie-Stewart, a British officer, was convicted of betraying his country’s secrets to a foreign power. Von Rintelen, while bitterly denying his daughter had any connection with the case, admitted that facts brought forward at the court martial were “startling coincidences.”

Abandonment of Gold Standard Big Stride Towards Prosperity * * * * * * Ban on Export of Precious Metal Seen as Restorative to Business—Blow at Unemployment and Checkmate to Depression of Commodity Prices. s si ■ M n I i 1 ' JB . wh '" k > v 5 » X' • ■ :31ft- ‘Sr 9 ’* ' vaw' \ cCN k'E\- Pittman 1 ” : ’ A / / |fo.< 1 < \ / Z ' Fh ® I . ± jtf HHHk o>ECY VIIUAM M OODIbJ <Szu ftjES' RoOSEVEVE eTAHE?F &YRNES What does the United States abandonment of the gold standard mean? the man in the street is asking. And here it is in a nutshell. President Roosevelt’s action in taking the country off the gold standard is calculated to increase commodity prices at home and to let the dollar, unsupported by gold exports, seek its own level abroad. By banning the circulation of gold at home the President started the machinery for a return to pre-depression business. How? Since paper can not be redeemed in gold here, currency will fluctuate in value, having a tendency to go down. Therefore it will take more dollars to buy a given commodity. The result is to boost prices. Higher prices mean more production, which, in turn, means more employment and the start of the climb out of the quagmire of depression. Then, too, the inflation bill sponsored by Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, would give the President dictatorial power over the nation’s currency. It would empower him to accept silver in payment of war debts up to $100,000,000, thus taking away the excuse of nations which hitherto defaulted on the plea that they could not pay for lack of gold. Before taking his drastic action the President conferred with Senator Byrnes of North Carolina and Senator Pittman of Nevada, champions of mild inflation, and Budget Director Lewis W. Douglas, all of whom are past masters of international finance. Secretary of the Treasury Woodin reported a favorable reaction all over the country for the first day of the abandonment of the gold standard. Improvements in business were reported from all over the nation, and raises in commodity prices brought hope to farm communities for the first time since J* e advent of the depression.

Instead of trying to make the sound penetrate the ears of the sufferers, this device carries mechanical vibrations through the bones of the head.

Taking Your DOLLAR To Market EVERY year your family, and every family of your acquaintance, spends about 70 per cent of its income just for living, exclusive of rent — so economic experts tell us. Think what this means—seven dollars out of every ten invested in food, clothing, household utilties and all the multitude of things that keep a family comfortable and happy. That part of spending is readily understood. But do you realize that every manufacturer and retailer of these necessities is planning how he can get your dollar? It’s a big job to spend so much monev wisely and well. It requires careful business methods io get the best possible returns from each dollar that leaves the family purse. The clever woman goes for help to the advertisement in her daily paper. There she finds a directory of buying and selling. She learns about the offerings of merchants and manufacturers. She comnares values. She weighs quality and price. She takes this opportunity of judging and selecting almost everything she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, instruct and generally bring up her family. Do you read the advertisements? You will find them willing and able to serve you in the daily business of purchase. * .. * Advertisements are guardians of your pocketbook—read them carefully.
