HOOVER URGES RIGID ECONOMY
 IN INDUSTRIES
Commerce Secretary Plays Wasteful Methods
 Of American Nation :.
(Leased Wire to Age.Herald. )

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Elimi- nation of waste in commerce and in dustry is as vital now as conservation of natural resources was 20 years ago. Secretary of Commerce Hoover declares in his annual report. Activi- ties of the department of commerce during the past year have been pointed toward the problem of waste as never before.
 Many industries have voluntarily adopted innovations proposed by the department of commerce which will save millions of dollars to the public. Now the department is tackling "the most challenging of all wastes-the waste of human life," due to traffic accidents, Secretary Hoover said, re- ferring to the traffic conference to met here soon.
 "A definite constructive national pro- gram has been developed for the elimi- nation of waste in our economic sys- tem," Hoover said. "The need is plain. The American standard of living is the product of high wages to producers and low prices to consumers. The road to national progress lies in increasing real wages through proportionate lower prices. The one and only way is to improve methods and processes and to eliminate waste. Just as 20 years ago we undertook nationwide elimination of waste. Regulation and laws are of but minor effect on these fundamen- tai things. But by well-directed econo- mic forces, by cooperation in the com munity, we cannot only maintain American standards of living-we can raise them.'

I should have admitted the patient had I known that Dr. Trice had taken action," Irons continued. II released Mir. Pc kerson for two reasons. Hillman hospital is about half as large as it should be in order to care for all cases that should be taken in. For that reason doctors attempt to pick those cases which are in most need, in order that the hospital at all times be prepared to admit the serious cases. and give them proper attention. This case did not appear jail Mir. Perkerson would be subject to attention by the jail physician and he would be under observation. Know ing this, I considered that in case the patient grew worse he could be rushed at any time back to the hospital" Dr. Irons said.
 One of the new developments yes terday, which might help materially in solving the mystery surrounding the identity of the dead man, was an announcement by George Hutsler, room- ing house proprietor. that he had known the dead man as H. Claude Perkins and was confident that he was the same man with whom he worked and boarded with nine years ago. He said Perkins was painter. Later Mrs. Hutsler saw the dead man. She also claims that he is Perkins.
 Further investigations made by the couple revealed that the man had worked with the Salvation Army under the name of H. c. Parkinson. In the history kept by the army the man had brother whose name was given as NJ. A. Parkinson. real estate dealer
 Mir. Hutsler also declared that when the man boarded with him that he had widowed sister. Il Mrs. Lula Wynn. Later, he said, Mrs. Wynn married a man he could not remember and is now believed to be living in Atlanta, Ga.

(By Associated Press.)

HALIFAX, N. S., Nov. 27-The story of a battle with pirates off New York matching in thrills old tales of the Spainsh Main was related by the super cargo of the French steamer Francisco, which arrived here today bearing marks of the stirring scenes which took place on her decks.

|BANEZ CHARGES KING ALFONSO WITH C0NNpIR AW
 HH1 ii UVIVOA MU1AOA
Ruler Plans To Make Monarchy Absolute,
 Says Writer
lRy Associated Press. ]

PARIS, Nov. N.-Vicente BiaSco Ibanez from his Paris headquarters to- day hurled two new charges against King Alfonso of Spain. The first was that he was conspiring to supplant all the democratically inclined officers c. the home forces of infantry with re. serve and gendarmerie officers loyal to him in order to be able to rely upon the infantry for coup d'Etat making the monarchy absolute.
 The second was that. being short of funds, His Majesty recently dumped on rhe bourse two million pesetas worth of shares of the Madrid Subway com pany, causing a considerable furry and making the other stockholders lose heavily.
 Ibanen explained that the king feels he can rely on the cavalry and artillery officers, because virtually all of them belong to or are akin to the nobility, whereas the infantry officers are, com missioned from all ranks of society, in- cluding a majority favoring a constitu- tional monarchy, with many of their number republicans in belief.
 '"The king" the author wrote, "wants to have the whole home army in hand commanded by his kind of men and has been long time planning to have the great majority of the present officers replaced in a single night by others subservient to his interests. This in- formation has come to me from any number of reliable sources in Spain."
 Ibanez claims the same reliability, for the sources from which his subway stock disposal story, came. adding that the king for some time had been notori- ously short of money and obliged to resort to a number of expedients in order to carry on, being still heavily indebted to nationals of number of countries.
 Little by little," added the writer, "my pamphlet against Alfonso and Primo Rivera is getting into spain. We have thousands of willing workers, each smuggling as many as he can across the frontier"

 It will thus be seen that Moffatt out Goodspeeds Goodspeed in his attempt to turn the old, well-loved phrases of the King James version into the common, ordinary, everyday garden variety of English. Dr. Moffatt, one of the most competent Hebrew scholars of his time spent eight years in the effort.
 Right at the beginning, Dr. Moffatt plunges into distinct change of the familiar story of creation as described in Genesis. He says:
 New Story of Creation
 "Then God the Eternal nodded man from the dust of the ground, breathing into his .nostrils the breath of life; this was how man became living being.
 "In the land of Eden, in the Fal East, God the Eternal then planted q park, where he put the man whom He had molded.
 And from the ground God the Eternal made all sorts of trees grow that were delightful to see and good tt eat, with the tree of life and the tree that yields knowledge of good and evil in the center of the park.
 From Eden a river flowed to water the park, which, on leaving the park branched into four streams"
