T.os Angeles.—Seventy-five men perished and two hundred were seriously burned in a brush fire in Griffith park, part of the municinal forest preserve. The victims, all county welfare workers, were cut down bv flames that trapped them in a cone-shaped ravine Where they had jmne to fight a blaze. Some of those who escaped the in- ; ferno cla’med they wer* ordered into the ravine by “straw bosses.” City find county authorities opened inves- i ligations to fix responsibility. Firetnen blamed the victims’ ignorance of fire-fighting technique. In fighting the brush fire the .wel- j fare workers built a back fire and allowed themselves to he trapped in the ravine between the two fires. That more men did not lose their lives in the teacup-like canyon was credited to Los Angeles city firemen, who arrived in time to warn them of the death trap they had entered. The fire presumably was started by a cigarett^ carelessly dropped by one • of the thousands of men working for the county and being paid out of un employment funds. It started near the bridle path in the municipally owned park and. fanned by a brisk east wind, gained considerable headway before it was reported. There were approximately 5.000 county welfare workers in the park; 1,500 v ere ordered to help fight the fire. WASHINGTON BRIEFS — Staffing of the central office of the new Federal Deposit Insurance corporation was begun with the appointment of W. N. Stronek. Tucson (Ariz.) banker, formerly of Chicago, as assistant to the directors. The depreciated dollar, increased domestic industrial activity and greater purchasing power abroad resulted in an upward trend in American export trade for the first half of 1033, the United States Chamber of Commerce reported. A $145,000,000 project for development of the upper Missouri river, including the building of a reservoir at Fort Peck, Mont., was recommended to Secretary of War Dern by Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief of army engineers. An advance in world wheat prices from “recent levels” was predicted by the Agriculture department’s bureau of agricultural economics. The forecast was based on the “smaller world crop for the current season and the constructive nature of the London wheat agreement.” Three Russians Set a New Altitude Record Moscow. —Three men in an aluminum ball hooked to a balloon ascended 11.8 miles, the greatest height ever reached by man, and enjoyed themselves so much that when they landed the first thing they said was they would do it again as soon as they could. “None of us seems to be any worse for the experience, and we could go up again tomorrow,” said Ernest Birnbaum. the leader of the expedition into the stratosphere. He was accompanied on the recordbreaking flight by two other air service veterans. Georgi Prokofiev and Konstantin Gudenoff. Girl, 13, Is Fatally Shot; Youth Arrested as Slayer Marlin, Texas.—Dorothy Baugh, thirteen-year-old Marlin high school student, died of a bullet wound suffered after a night motor car ride, and Lee Francis, eighteen, was arrested. Police said Francis, an ice plant employee, admitted the shooting. Officers quoted him as saying In a statement he did not “intend to kill the girl, but she wanted me to marry her and I fired to scare her.” Shot near the heart and unconscious, the girl was found on a highway north of this city. She died while being taken to a hospital. Veeck, President of the Chicago Cubs, Is Dead Chicago.—William Louis Veeck, president of the Chicago Cubs, died in St. Luke's hospital. He was fifty-six years old. The cause of the death was 1 leucocythaemia, a disease wherein there is an abnormal increase in the number of white blood corpuscles. At his bedside were his wife, Grace, | their two children, William Veeck. Jr., and Miss Margaret Veeck, and John I O. Seys, vice president of the ball club. Investors Are Warned Florence, Ala.—A statement warning investors against buying Muscle Shoals district property without a personal inspection was issued by the mayors of the four municipalities in the district —Florence, Sheffield, Tus- i cumbia, and Muscle Shoals City. Ten Injured in Explosion Houston, Texas.—Ten men were burned, several critically, by explosion of a tube in a still at the American Petroleum company refinery at Norsworthy terminal. I

National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart

Washington.—The President lately < has been stressing the necessity of | providing credit, More Credit loans of money to , Demanded those who want to do business but who । haven't tiie resources after four years jof the depression to get going again. , Jesse Jones, chairman of the Recon struction Finance corporation, has made several speeches urging that the banks make loans freely to the butcher. the baker and the candlestick maker. From elsewhere in the government. there is the cry that more credit i shall be provided, credit here, credit there, and credit otherwise. All of which has moved observers here to inquire, “whither goest thou. Uncle Sam?” Students of finance and economies who are regarded as knowing their oats tell me that there must be liberal j use of credit at any time in this country. It seems to be the system we have built up. Now, more than ever, I am told, is there a necessity for lib eral terms to borrowers. They predi I cate their views on that which is the fact, namely, that in every community | there are businesses that would like I to get going again on something like a normal basis if they had the re- , i sources. These resources, however, have been depleted by four extremely difficult years, and consequently the business men have to proceed slowly, j But the continued shouting that there must be credit has more to it than just the fact that money ought ito be loaned. The economists admit , ' frankly that other factors must be । considered. In the first instance, when , ; the banker of your community makes , a loan, he loans your money that has , been entrusted to his care In the form , of deposits in his bank. In the second place, the business man who borrows is taking a risk, for he has to put up collateral security with his note to the bank, and needless to say that collateral is always sufficient to insure the bank against loss. So. if the bori rower fails to make a profit on the money he borrows, or if he makes a bad guess on the investment of that money, and loses, he not only loses the amount borrowed but his collateral as well. So, even if be has the resources to put up the required collateral, he is going to think twice before he borrows. • * * But let us turn to a consideration of government credit. The government is putting out money in a dozen different ways and it is using the semi-gov-ernment agency, the federal reserve system. to put out other money. Yet the same factors are influencing that situation as those that are at work in the field of private finance. When the federal reserve system : was created during the administration of President Wilson, one of the dreams of its sponsors was that it would make credit easy, that it would provide money when business needed it. This has been found to be tme. Banks that are members of the federal reserve system have the privilege of discount- ' ing notes they have taken from their ’ business-house customers with the federal reserve banks. 55hat they do actually is sell that note to the reserve bank and get cash for it. but they agree to take it up in a specified time. The federal reserve banks are operating now on what is known as an easy money policy. Easy Money They are loaning Pclicv money to the member banks on discounts at a very low rate of interest. In addition, the reserve banks are engaged in open market operations under which they are buying United States bonds and treasury notes at the rates of about fifty million dollars’ worth a week. The theory of this is that the reserve banks, having an elastic stock of money, will put out cash every time they buy one of those government bonds which are acquired wherever they can be bought. That has put out cash, but from what the financiers tell me the release of that currency has not resulted in banks loaning additional funds to their customers for the reasons outlined above. Since there has been no swarm of borrowers at the bank windows, the cash that has been put out by the reserve banks simply has found its way back into the banks as deposits. What then? The banks have taken that cash to pay off whatever debts they have at the reserve banks and have taken their customers’ notes back to hold them until they mature. 55’hich is perfectly natural, because the banks can earn a profit only from the interest they receive on loans, and if the customer paid 6 per cent and the bank discounted that note with a reserve bank, it would have to pay a part of that 6 per cent as interest on its borrowings from the reserve banks. Hence, with the note back in its pos- ■ session, the bank gets all of the inter- * * • Now, as to the loans that are being । made by the Reconstruction Finance corporation, the Department of AgriI culture, the Farm Credit administration, the Federal Home Owners’ Loan ' corporation, and whatever other . agency there may be, it is the same old story. None of them can loan unless the security is ample. That is, 1 a farmer cannot borrow unless he has a farm which he can mortgage or a growing crop or some work stock, and ' the city man cannot borrow unless he has a house which he can mortgage. If it were not that way, the government i would be putting out money without a chance of getting repaid unless the borrower wanted to do it. It takes ■ no fortune teller or soothsayer to foresee where that, would lead and what it would amount to in the end. It would simply be taking money paid j into the federal treasury by taxpayers ■ snd virtually giving it away. Obvi-

ously, soon the taxpayers would quit paying it in. i And having mentioned the taxpay- > ers, I gather from conversations with unbiased observers here that the taxpayers are due for a tremendous shock anyway before this recovery plan is completed. The expenditures are so vast and in so many ways that it is difficult, if not impossible, to tell how much the thing is costing. Os course, as I see it. if recovery takes place and there is prosperity abroad in the land, nobody is going to object so much. On the other hand, if the methods em ployed by the Roosevelt administration fail to bring complete recovery ami the country has to worry along for awhile in the same condition it now is, then it appears quite obvious that the taxpayers are going to raise ; enough cam- to rout some of the public officials out of their jobs. * * • Secretary Wallace’s plan to buy up about six million pigs weighing less than 1(M) pounds and Wallace Plan one million sows Half Success nbnut to f«r’'owa means of cutting down the hog surplus and forcing prices higher appears to have been only about half successful. Or, to say it another way. the program failed. Department experts won't say why It failed, but there has been a good deal of discussion in the Capital that the secretary’s plan missed fire because it did not take into consideration the practical, the human side, of the equation. It was a beautiful theory. I think the secretary ought not to be charged wholly with it, however, because it had its inception in the minds of certain men who claim to he lead- ' ers In agricultural thought who put their heads together with some of the professors who are so numerous around Washington. From divers sources, I get the information that farmers in many sections of the country held off marketing their pigs and their sows, even with the premium the Department of Agriculture was paying, because they wanted to wait for those higher prices that the Department of Agriculture said would come. Quite obviously, they expected the little pigs to grow up. and when they became bigger pigs and prices were higher, there would be bigger amounts of money. The net result of the whole show was that the Department of Agriculture put out only about S22,O<XUMM» in its pig program, whereas it had estimated that there would be approximately $50,060,000 expended. A part of the total paid out went to the processors. such as the meat packers and butchers, as comiH-nsation for the work they did. The country’s lug population was reduced by the extent of about four million pigs, while instead of one million sows being bought and killed, there were not more than ! one hundred thousand. • • • Notwithstanding the failure of the program to buy pigs and sows, the outlook for hog supExoect Lower plies in the principal Shipments during the forthcoming marketing year is for lower shipments than in several years. The marketing year ending October 1. 1933, saw roughly 47,250,000 head of hogs slaughtered. That total, and it is fairly accurate because federal inspectors see all of the hogs killed, was the largest In four years. But the marketing year just now starting gives every indication of a considerably smaller shipment and slaughter and that probably means higher prices, according to the experts. The relationship between hog prices and corn prices has been unfavorable for hog production in the last three months, and the prediction from the Department of Agriculture is that this condition will continue for probably a year. It Is to be assumed that this will result in a smaller pig crop this fall than is usual, although since the plan to buy pigs failed to materialize into satisfactory results, T do not see how the experts can guess the dimensions of the pig crop. « • • There was very little attention paid by the daily newspapers to the retirement the other day of Dr. Charles L. Marlatt, as chief of the bureau of entomology of the Department of Agriculture. But farmers of the country and those who consume the food which the farmers produce (which means all of us) owe a great debt of gratitude to Doctor Marlatt who had to leave his office when he passed his seventieth birthday. He had served In the Department of Agriculture since 1889. It was Doctor Marlatt who almost single-handed succeeded in arousing the nation to the necessity for a quarantine law that would stop the steady flow of pests from entering this country, many of which became among the worst of the crop hazards. The plant quarantine act of 1912 was the result of Doctor Marlatt's studies and his constant urging that restrictions be laid down to protect our agriculture from the ravages of insects and diseases which had their origin in other countries. ♦ * * The lengths to which inflation can go was well illustrated in a German bank note which Secretary 7 sVoodin showed me the other day. It was a note of the denomination of five billion marks, and was issued during the orgy of inflation in which Germany indulged eight or ten years ago. Secretary sVoodin, who keeps the note as a curio, computed its present-day value at about two cents of United States money. “Just think how you would feel,” he said, “if you went to buy a newspaper from the boy on the corner and gave him a five billion mark note in payment I” ©, 1933, Western Newspaper Union.

BEA U T Y TALKS By MARJORIE DUNCAN TO PREVENT INFECTIONS A TINY scratch may. through neglect, cause a great deal of trouble. Precautions should be taken to prevent infection when the skin shows any 7 cut. scratch, sore or abrasion. Such precautions should become as much a habit as locking your door against thieves, or eyeing traffic before crossing a street. The time to prevent infection is before the trouble starts. Be at least one step ahead of the treacherous little germ which might sight the abraded skin, decide it was a lovely spot and stake his residence claim. Beat him to it by disinfecting and sealing all sore spots. Then forget them—everything's safe! The bathroom medicine cabinet of every home should contain a bottle j plainly labelled disinfectant, convent i ently placed. If you have only one room or are boarding, give the disinfectant an honorary place among your toilet preparations. A scratch, a pinprick, a pimple—touch them with dis infectant before using powder and rouge. When iodine enjoyed its prestige as the great and only, one would often take chances rather than sally forth brown-spotted. Today there are many effective disinfectants staiidess and odorless. The good ones cleanse and seal, having both disinfectant andastrin gent elements. Your disinfectant should do both. An application which seals without disinfecting is very dangerous. Fever blisters and sore pimples should be touched with an astringent disinfectant several times daily. Sore nostrils resulting from excessive use of a handkerchief when suffering from colds should receive the same treatment. Tn fact, handkerchiefs should I not be used under such conditions - Use soft, cleansing tissues instead. Ami don't rub inflamed nostrils, blot them. It may seem drastic to use a stinging disinfectant Instead of a gen tie salve, hut the discomfort Is only for a second and the cure is far more rapid. Every physician knows of cases of simple little Injuries which caused grave trouble because the patient was either Ignorant of first aid method* of preventing infection or negleetfui. I Don't put off for tomorrow the treat [ ment of a fresh sore or cut or scratch. Do It nojv. Tomorrow infection may have wt In. Mothers should teach ' children to come for treatment of cut fingers, sore kne splinters an 1 scratches. Children should learn such precautionary measures nt a very early age. It should be just ns much a matter of habit to disinfect a bleed Ing scratch ns to take an umbrella when it rains. • • • AZOUT THE SPINE I AM sure you all know what an Imjwrtant part the spine plays In the projH’r functioning of your nervous, circulatory and muscular s>stems. In every organ •ell. hair, nail and pore of your entire body. For each bone In the body, each part of the body is di rectly or Indirectly connected with the spine. The thigh, leg and hip bone are connected with the spine by the pelvic arch; the arms, shoulders and ribs are so connected. The skull, which houses the delicate brain which is you -and determines just what you are and will be, is connected with the spine at the neck. The brain is the powerful sending station. The nerves are the transmitting wires. They all run through the spinal column to each and every part of the body. Can't you see for yourself how very Important It is that the spine be kept pliable and resillant—ln good working order? If it is stiff and cramped it affects the functioning of every part of the body. The nerves are too tense or too slack ami the heart action 1* changed from normal, the* lungs do not take in fresh air deeply and powerfully, or expel the vitiated air so promptly and completely. The blood does not circulate so vigorously and i perform its duty as carrier of vital | food matter to the organs. The marrow of the spinal cords grows anemic. Os course, you have often been told to “keep a stiff backbone.” But that Is a figurative expression which apj plies only to mental courage. As paradoxical as it may seem, you cannot have the stiff backbone of courage unless you have the flexible backbone of ' physical health. You may have it for a while, through sheer will power. I The average young person of today keeps a flexible spine—swimming, golf, tennis, dancing. This era of sports is J wonderful from a health standpoint. It is the middle aged woman, or the j too-much-stay-at-home woman who I needs to give serious thought to keeping her spine flexible. Especially those ; women who are not doing housework. । And the women and girls who sit at । desks throughout the working day. Those who follow sedentary occupai tions. Do you find yourself avoiding stoop- ! ing to pick things from the floor! Do you dislike doing this or that because your shoulders or your neck or your hips seem stiff? Then it is time for you to commence exercising your spine. ©, Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.

LOAFING HENS NOT WORTH THEIR FEED — Should Cull Flocks to Hold Expenses Doss’n. At present prices for poultry and poultry products eliminate all hens that lay just enough eggs to pay feed costs. •‘Hens that lay from six to nine eggs a month cannot make money for the j flock owner at present farm prices and should be killed, sold or canned,” says C. J. Maupin, poultry extension specialist at North Carolina State college. “Such hens will eat more feed than their total market value and should be taken from the flock in order to lower feed costs and increase the quality and production of those birds left in the flock." For proper culling, especially where the flock contains 50 or more hens, some form of catching coop should he provided. Such a coop can be made of slats or just a frame covered with wire and should fit the poultry house door so that the hens can be driven Into it without injury. With such a coop the poultrymen can cull at any time of the year. Maupin advises that close attention also be given to the breeding males as this will determine, to a largo extent, the profit made from pullets hatched and raised next vear. Old male birds that will not be needed next year ot ' young cockerels that are not developing properly should be removed from the flock. Wliere possible, one or two breeding cockerels should be secured j from trapnested flocks. Daddies of Muscovy Duck Found in South America Early explorers of South Amerh-a found the ancestors of the modern Muscovy duck there in the wild state. Efforts to nuife them with other breeds proved that they were a distinct species a® the matings produc»sl sterile offspring. They were known as Wild ‘ Musk ducks and also a® Brazilian I ducks They made their homes in the । wilde-t marshes and lowlands, and nested and hatched their young in high j place®. Little attention was given to them 1 until about IS7O. Since then they ' have been distribute<l quite widely ! over the world. In Europe ami Amer- j lea they have been bred with care and found to reproduce to form and color suitable for exhibition. Females have Keen found to be kind and tractable. Male® under two years can be controlled. but when they get older they j nre cross to children; and. especially during the breeding season, will attack adults and even animals savagely, if the. are provoked, or disturbed.in their habitats. Tbe original, wild specimens were almost entirely black, other colors have been developed. Some offspring ' i.ave pl anage like the Blue Swedish ' dmk. This is said to have resulted Irom crossing white and colored speci- ' mens. ' Yeast for Hens Hens fed fermented laying mash as an extra to the regular mash and grains at the coastal plain experiment I station in North Carolina, laid more egg® than hens fed the regular laying i mash and grain. There was very lit- I tie extra cost from feeding the fer- ; niented mash. The fermented mash was made by ; adding two cakes of yeast to ten j quarts of mash ami adding enough ’ warm water to make the mixture fair- I ly moist. This mash was allowed to ' set for 20 hours, then the birds were given all they would eat in a half hour. ; The 75 birds that ate the fermented ' mash plus regular mash and scratch ■ grain laid 18,396 eggs; those eating | only the regular mash and grain, 15,- I : 885 eggs. Cost per dozen fer feed was 12 cents when fermented mash was used. 11.9 - cents without. Birds that had fermented mash ate more mash, more ; grain. These birds were better in appearance and had higher vitality when the feeding test was completed.—National Farm Journal. Get Rid of Lice A new method of ridding hens of lice has been developed wherein nicoi tine sulphate is applied to each bird with a small oil can or medicine dropper. Two drops of this liquid are placed just beneath the vent. One ounce of the material will treat more than 100 hens. The treatment will last for several weeks, and contrary to general belief, the nicotine sulphate will not blister the skin. Another and I more common method of using this ma [ terial is" to spray the perches. » Table Form in Fowls The perfection of table form in fowls Is reached in fancy roasting chicken®. A fancy roaster is one that is meaty all over; that is marketed when it reaches full development (after which It begins to lose quality) ; and that when served on the table can be carved easily. To meet the last requirement a bird must have a broad straight back, flat at the shoulders, straight in the middle and wide at the hips—with the ! hipbones level. Such a bird will lie I right on the platter. Canadians Eat Most Eggs Canadians claim the distinction of eating more eggs per capita than the people of any other country. Last year the per capita consumption in the dominion was 28.36 dozen, or a total of 297,949,339 dozen, which indicates that more than 65.400.000 hens and chickens on Canadian farms and elsewhere In Canada were fairly busily employed throughout the year. There were 3,200,000 more hens and chickens In the country in 1932 than in 1929. — Canada AVeek by Week.

Effective and Time Saving Method Recommended by an Expert. One of the most disagreeable tasks which falls to the lot of every cook ai one time or another is the cleaning of some pot or kettle in which food has been burnt, it is often the fact th.-it this task is necessary vvnu-h makes the woman regretful over the catastrophe, instead of the loss ot the food, when it is of little value. Any idee which will simplify this work of burnt kettle cleaning is sure to be welcome. It is with this thought in mind that the following method is given, and also away to use meat which is saved from buruIng. Remove all food which has not come in contact with scorched portions at bottom and perhaps sides of the utensil. It frequently happens that these portions are not spoiled, unless the contents were nadly burned. Then the scorcher! flavor will have permeated through the contents with the steam and smoke. If the food can be washer!, plunge it into waler and return these good portions to the fire in a different kettle ami continue cooking as long as needed, or reheat and serve, if atrendy done. A sauce of onions frier! in butter, then a tablespoonful of flour nronned in the butter and a cupful of tomato juice gradually stirred in the mixture over the fire, is recommended to put over meat so served. With a metal kitchen spoon scrape away as much of the burnt contents as can be removeri easily. Then fill the kettle with hoi water. Uover it tight and let it stand overnight, or several hours, at least. Pour off the water. With the kitchen spoon again scrape whatever comes off easily. Put enough warm water into the kettle to cover the scorchetl part. Cover kettle, set it into a larger kettle partly fllbd with cold water. This makes a double boiler effect. Put the improvised double boiler over the fire. Let the water in the lower part come to a boil and continue boiling for an hour or longer. Remove the Top kettle. Drain off tbe water. The steam will nave softened the burnt particles so that they can be removed w’ h no trouble. All the disagreeable scraping and scouring are eliminated. Not only is this labor saving, but it preserves the good condition of the kettle, the surface of which might be impaired if seraiwd hard. The process of steaming the kettle Is responsible for the simplicity of the method. g 1933. Bell Syndicate — WNU Service. Surprised “Savage” Sitting Bull.
