Forty-six oents out of each one dollar received by the manufacturer of cigars and cigarets is spent by him for raw tobacco. This Is according to an Investigation covering the entire tobacoo manufacturing Industry made by the United State* Government. Workers in tobacco factories receive 14 cents of each dollar taken in by the manufacturer. This leaves him 40 cents for profit and overhead, including taxes, both corporation and Internal revenue. An increase of 1 per cent in the cost of raw tobacoo would be translated into the manufacturer’s selling price as 4.6 mills on each dollar. To make possible a S per cent Increase In wages, the manufacturer would need to Increase his selling price fourtenths of 1 cent on each dollar he receives.

Woman Dealer in Junk Develops SBO,OOO Business

CAROLINE HOROWITZ, RAG DEALER

By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT NEA Service Staff Writer JEW YORK, Oct. I.—Any rags, any bones, any bottles i___ today? Caroline Horowitz will gladly relievo you of them and give you a few pennies for the children’s china pig to boot. She's the country’s only woman rag dealer. Last year she did a business of over a million pounds and her cash book showed a neat little turnover of SBO,OOO. Maybe you never gave a thought to that lavender-striped shirt of Llewallyn’s that you threw into the ash barrel yesterday. Well, a fellow with an ash cart came along and got it and then this Is where Caroline comes in. She saw

‘MY STATEMENT IS FACT’-MOORMAN (Continued From Page 1) time suggested to me directly or indirectly a meeting of the Republican State committee to consider the Governor's affairs or for any other purpose. Neither were the Governor’s affairs discussed with the President beyond the merest exprssion of regret on his part at the Governor's unfortunate situation. “Throwing IVust” “The difficulty with Mr. Moorman and the Governor himself in their publio statements is that they are trying to throw dust in the eyes of the people of this State and create the impression that the meeting of the committee was simply an effort on the part of certain machine politicians to obtain control of the committee. “The truth of the matter is that the State committee and the news- ! papers and the public generally have been more than generous with Governor McCray in dealing with this entire situation. Walb Saw Duty “Charges have been made by men ! thoroughly familiar with his affairs and ! highly responsible in every way that j Governor McCray had been guilty of actions Involving the most serious con. sequences. When these matters came j to the ears of the State committee, ! responsible as they were, to the party, j Mr. Walb conceived it to be his duty ias chairman of the State committee ! to call the committee and lay the en- | tire situation before them for such actlojL.aa they might deem proper. “I spent nearly three months in trying to untangle the Governor’s affairs and finally raised $350,000 to save him and some of his associates from the most serious personal consequences as the result of hl9 own acts and I deeply resent the effort of Mr. Moorman or the Governor or any one else to reflect upon the motives and the good faith of the men responsible for the conduct of the affair* of the party in this State.” Births Boy* Marehant and Vila Gwlnn, 534 E.

But when, from the record of the District Court, It is learned that Mrs. Molly Kartak, mother of a son 35 years old, applied to Judge Morey for leave to adopt Ralph Raymond Scott, 43 years old, the proceeding becomes of considerable Interest “I don’t see why the fact that I ' have adopted a young man as a son should be of any Interest to anybody," j said Mrs. Kartak. when seen In her cosy home. "Is It necessary for a woman to go through her late years Rlone Just because she sets her affection on someone who Is beyond usual years of adoption? “As mothers must expect, the time came when my family scattered and I was alone. I met Ralph at this time and music was a bond of friendship, for he is a fine organist and I am devoted. to musio. When I came to Denver several months ago he was here visiting relatives and we renewed our acquaintance, which has now developed into the close relation of mother and son.” Tire Taken From Garage Beryl A.

ATTACKS ON HOME BAFFLE GUARDS FOR MANY NIGHTS Mysterious Bombardment of Stones and Vegetables Yet Unsolved, PALMYRA, Mo., Oct. 3.—The mystery surrounding the farm home of Emmett Swisher at Philadelphia, twelve miles east of here, still remains unsolved regardleis of the fact that the sheriff with a score of deputies, guardsmen, newspaper men and detectives have made every effort to penetrate it. About three weeks ago, Just as the members of the Swisher household had finished supper, and as darkness had begun to fall, a furious bombardment on the house begun. Stones, apples, eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, lumps of coal and numerous other missiles descended on the house. Swisher went Into the yard, but could see no one, and could not detect where the missiles were coming from. The attack did not cease, and neighbors were called in, but they could neither see nor hear any one near, save the occasional beat of an object against or on top of the hous-v The mystery began to tighter, around the home, and three days later Swisher was summoned to Canada on a pressing business engagement. Continued Until 3 A. M. The bombardment continued nightly. There were, on several occasions, as many as a hundred men on guard to detect the person or persons who were throwing the missiles at the house. This performance was repeated for fifteen nights in succession, and still there was no solution of the mystery. Then the bombardment ceased for a night or two only to be resumed on a recent night. This time the attack was very light, and by the time guards had been assembled, the disturbance ceased. In the fifteen nights that the bom bardment was so furious, the attacks began at dark and continued until shortly before 3 o’clock In the morning. A mysterious thing about It was that the larger the crowd on watch, the heavier was the bombardment And ar other thing Is that it Is be lleved rhut all of the missiles used In the raid have been taken from the Swisher premises. No Attacks Since His Return The house Is a two-etory frame structure with a coat of new white paint, and the yard la surrounded by a hedge fence about ten feet high. The tale Is rather an unusual one. but It actually has happened, and If any one has discovered anything that would help to solve the mystery he has not made It publio. Since Swisher returned from his business trip to Canada there have not been any attacks. He Intends to use every effort to find out what has caused all of the disturbance.
