Puzzle Fans Are
Fighting Over
Dictionaries

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 22.- Cross
word puzzle fans are fighting over
the dictionaries at the public library,
The two available volumes of
Noah Webster s popular work have
received more tMmbing in the past
few weeks than in a year previous,
according to Miss Susan Oft, head
OF the reference department.
Hoping to enable every puzzle fan
to get a chance at the dictionary,
l5-minute limit was set. This was
later reduced to ten minutes, and
with the traffic still heavy, n new
placard appeared today above the
dictionary rack. 1t reads.
" Patrons are limited to five
minute perusal of the dictionary if
another party is waiting. In case
OF an argument, please settle diff,
euItlcs at the librarian s desk
All of which reminds MS of the
fact that Los Angeles is not the
only place where there is a scramble
for the dictionary. The other day
we missed our fine unabridged die
tionary which has been ON the job
in the editorial rooms of the Press
since Fido was Il pup, \ frenzied
search was made, which resulted in
discovering that a Jealous member
of the Press staff had lugged the
big volume home that he and his
wife might the better solve the cross
word puzzle appearing in this paper
every night.

Bucnos Aires, Nov. 5.--An indus
trial exhibition intended to, show
the progress attained in manufac-
lures in Argentina, and with the
hope of discouraging the practice
of putting foreign labels on Argen-
tine made goods, will be held in
Buenes. Aires in December. 1t is
being organized by the Argentine
Industrial Union under the auspices

= The organizers expect to demon
strate the superiority Of many Ar

there is no necessity Of pretending
they are imported in order to make
them ssaleablcr. Many manufacturers
have complained that they arc un-
able to sell their goods to retailers
unless they bear American, English,
German, Italian or French labels,
Shd they welcome any propaganda
such as this exhibition to show that
Argentine wares are as good as or
better than the same class of i'm

He may be seen any day hawking his
