OFF TIGERS PROBING. DEATH IF WE THY. .LOS ANGELES MAN
Wife Declares Remington Had Acted Strangely During Week Before He Was
 Slain

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16-Earl Re mington, wealthy electrical engineer, found dead from gunshot wounds in the yard of his home here today, had lived in fear of his life for the past week. according to his wife.
 Mrs. Remington said her husband had been acting strangely and showed extreme nervousness. Noises outside the house, particularly at night, seemed to distress him. she said Remington had offered their home, which is in the exclusive resi- dential district, for sale, the widow declared, but had instructed her never to permit any stranger to en- ter the house under any circum stance.
 Although Remington telephoned to his wife yesterday that he was going to their ranch near Chino, Cal. and would not return until late the police said he did not go. Detectives are at tempting to trace Remingtons move ments yesterday Tn the hope of find ing some clue to the staying. Two friends of the dead man told the police they saw him at D. m. yes terday.
 That Remington was slain by some one having a grudge against him is the opinion expressed by the officers in charge of the investigation. They pointed to the fact that Remington was shot twice with shot gun, both charges passing through leather grief case with which they said he attempted to protect himself.

BIakemoe Predicts improved Trade for Great Britain Dur- ing Present Year. --0rders
 Now In Hand

LONDON, Feb. 16.-An encourag trade in 1923 is made by Felix J. Blalxemore, president of the National Chamber of Trade.
 q am convinced that our industrial conditions will improve" Mr. Blake more writes, "and while paying due regard to the importance of our pre- war European markets and their present stagnant condition, the prospects of greatly increased trade with our overseas dominions, crown colonies and dependencies are distinctly reassuring. It will be re- membered that early this year our overseas dominions floated large loans in London for purposes of de- velopment. These were mostly over subscribed, and now that the schemes are maturing. large orders for plant and machinery are being placed in Great Britian, which will gradually expand as the work proceeds.
 Predicts Good Trade
 'The foreign markets of the world other than the United States-are increasingly active in their iiquiries for British goods, due in the main to the failure of Germany to execute or ders, and also somewhat to the rais- ing of the United States tariff wall by the passing of the Fordney tariff bill. If only we can reduce our costs of production, and therefore our prices, We shall be able rapidly to convert those inquiries into orders"
 MT. Blakemore predicts that cost of production will be reduced by a fall of points in the living price about March, and further considerable re- auction 12 months hence. This is based on the appreciation of the value of the pound sterling in Amer ica, which will enable American produce to be reduced in price to the consumer, and America is so impor- tant factor in the supply of food goods to this country, that American prices of food rapidly become world prices.
 The increased food supplies. to- gether with appreciation of sterling values, will undoubtedly bring cheaper goods to the consumer. and if by reducing the cost of living. it Will at once increase the purchasing power of manufactured goods, it will at once increase the purchasing power of the British public and so stimulate the home demand for the goods we make"

TURKISH PEOPLE PROUD 'OF CARPETS THEY MAKE


 PARIS, Feb. 16.-'Tf every Amer ican owner of Turkish or an Ori- ental rug will remember that this thing of beauty is the work of the hands of our women, perhaps he will change his mind about our status as poor, inferior creatures, recently said Mufide Hanum, the first official woman lecturer sent abroad by Tur- key, and wife of Ferid Bey, repre- sentative here of the Angora national government.
 "Western civilization should be grateful to us for these carpens. If nothing else," continued Mufide Hanum. Your Bukhara rugs are made by uncultured girls and women, often of nomad tribes. They are all of our Turanian blood.
 Americans and Europeans are rather proud of their so-called civ i!ization, and they look down on us from your heights of progress. l wonder if you are aware that our civilization is far older than yours.
