Government Urged
TO Extend Greater
Aid TO Business
Experts Would Centralixe
All Trade and Related
Bureaus Under Hoover
and Expand Their Work
from Tho 7sfibwws's Washfnctor Bnyse


WASHINGTON, May 2s--Thc COM
mittec of representatives Of commerce
and industry, which has been holding
sessions here at the request Of Sccre-
tary of Commerce Hoover, to-day took
the first step toward joint action with
the government to Offset the state-en-
couraged trade advances Of foreign
countries.
The recommendations of the commit
tee include an Immediate and vigorous
extension of the functions of the de-
partfient, particularly in the Bureau Of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, an
addition to the department of all the
nom regulatory bureaus relating di-
rectly to industry, trade and trarIspor-
tation.
The committee said it was satisfied
that the department. had never been de-
veloped to the scope intended by Com
gress and had fallen short of serving
business as it should be served.
Foreign governments, always related
constructively to business, have since
the war SO expanded such activities as
to make 1t imperative, in the interests
OF American industry and commerce., il
they shall maintain their rightful place
in world trade, for the United States
government to lend it's assistance and
encouragement in more effective way
than heretofore" declared the commit
tee.
"The representatives of commerce and
industry, who met at your request, feel
that the Department Of Commerce can
be made to render, to the interests it
is supposed to foster and develop, adj
ditional aid in keeping pace with their
expanding needs.
I'VE desire to express to you our
firm and unanimous conviction that the
functions of the Department Of Com
merce shall be so amplifed as to meet
the purpose of Congress-.
eve feel that the whole statistical
activities Of the government relating
to production, stocks, consumption and
distribution and movement Of the basic
commodities at least, excluding agri-
culture, should be concentrated in the
of Commerce.
eve feel that the basic industries
will voluntarily aid your department in
the collection OF the vital statistics"

dertake. to advise you. There is no
doubt, however, about the fact that it
is not always successful, and we do
not think you ought to buy more un-
less you are Convinced the issues arc
worth the new price, Independently of
the fact that you already possess them.

tions? What commission do 1 pay? How
can be sure of the authenticity OF tho
bonds? After buying them what general
precaution Is necessary in connection with
same &c. NJ.
Answer--Any member of the New
York Stock Exchange who advertises in
The Tribune will be glad to buy the
bonds you mention for you. All you
have to do is to telephone in and order
the bonds and then send your check
and instructions for delivery. The
regular commission is $1.50 for a 81, 900
bond, and most brokers charge at least
$3.50 as minimum commission for
any one transaction.--T broker will
get you small pieces If they are avail
able. They usually cost more in pro-
portion than regular lots. You need
have no fear of their not being au-
thentic if you deal with reputable
house. After you get the bond put it
in safe place, not in a mattress or be-
hind the clock. A safe deposit box does
not cost much and it affords the best
protection for securities. 1t also makes
you feel prosperous and important.

Elgin Stock Not Exactly Safe

Question--Ktndiy advise me n II is safe
TO buy ElKin Motor. Car Corporation stock

stock Is common stoch.---Ir. NJ,
Answer-We advise you not to buy
tho Elgin Motor shares. The Franklin
Service Corporation is charging SIS for
the stock when it is selling IN The open
market at about one-third tnat price.
It isn't worth $15 by any stretch Of the
imagination, in our opinion. Par is $10
Il YOU have money to invest we suggest
that you consider some Of the seasoned
investment issues we frequently men,
tion in The Tribune. We do not pass
on the financial standing Of stock
selling organizations. We have no
doubt, however, that it is profitable to
sell the common stock of almost any
automobile company at great pre-
mium. If one can find purchaser.

DEMPSEY CUT LOOSE ON
 WILLIAMS. BRIDGEPORT BOXER

Atlantic City, N. J., May 29.-Boxing in the burning heat of a mid-afternoon sun, Jack Dempsey cut loose today for the first time since he began training and Larry Williams, an 180 pounder from Bridgeport Conn, was dangerouly near a knockout after boxing two rounds with the champion. Dempsey boxed six furious rounds, taking Williams, Leo Houck and Irish Patsy Cline, a lightweight, on for two rounds each.
 Williams, who fought back every inch of the way, gave Dempsey the best work out of the day. After setting a lively pace in the first round, Williams crossed the champion with a right hand punch to the chin soon after the start of the second. Dempsey tore into Williams, digging left hooks into his mid-section and battering him around the head with vigorous rights and lefts Williams was dizzy and sag ging at the knees when the round ended.
 When the champion faced Houck he eased up somewhat, but Cline. who came into the ring for the final two rounds, was roughly handled. Cline, who boxed with more speed than the other sparring mates, forced Dempsey to step the fastest two rounds of the afternoon. Dempsey knocked Cline fiat with a right handler in the first round, and in the second all but knocked him out of the ring.
 The titleholder's sparring partners were cautioned to be careful of his damaged right eye, which was cut Saturday. After attending church in the morning Dempsey with Mayor Bader of Atlantic City officially opened a new amusemen | park. Dempsey and the mayos got tht l first thrill of the rides and other amuse ments.
 l Jack Kearns. manager of Dempsey plans to leave for New York Tuesday fo
 a conference with Tex Rickard, promote
 of the Dempsey Carpenter match, in re | gard to the selection of referee. A re
 port shat Harry J. Ertle of Jersey Cit, had been selected was premature, Keam said.
 Johnny Kilbane. the featherweight title i holder, Pete Herman and Young Griff ] were in the crowd of more than on thousand that watched Dempsey's work out this afternoon.
