afternoon. and was confronted con- stantly by questioners who remained with him from that hour.
 T asked Dr. Shook If he had any explanation for the blood spots on his car," County Prosecutor John J. Chester said. He replied that they might have been caused by a dog. Then I asked him if he ever had . dog in his machine, and he ad- mitted that he never had. He was unable to offer any explanation of the spots."
 T1 Test Blood Further Shook served in the university vet erinary clinic until dismissed. The stains were analysed as blood by c. H. Long, chemist, in a report de- livered to authorities yesterday. He announced further tests would be necessary to determine whether they were made by human blood. The prosecutor was aided in the examination by Police Chief Harry E. French. Twice he left the coun- cil, but the, questioning remained in the hands of police during his ab- sence. Once he left to interview an- other witness who was not named. Another time he visited a room which Shook had admitted he matn- tained as meeting place with the girl while he lived with his wife and child.
 Announcements made from Snook's examination room indicated that Chester and police were following closely the former professors state ments in support of his denial of knowledge of the slaying. Shook Had Her Key
 He admitted taking two pairs of pajamas and a pair of woments slippers from the room and burning them in the furnace of his home Saturday, investigators said, adding that previously Shocks wife hal told them that they were burning rubbish. Shook declared that he re- leased the room a few hours after her death because he was going away on a vacation, detectives said, but in questioning him they sought to learn how he had possession of Miss Hix's key as we'll as his own on the day after the staying. A broken key ring was found near her body, with some of her keys still at- tached.
 The long session was the first oc- casion on which Shook had been faced with officials seeking to solve the staying. Previously he had been allowed to occupy his cell undes- turbed, and his only statement had been given out through newspaper men.

 HoY It SerT6

Legislation by tho United States congress l. based on information obtained through the national Chamber of Commerce quite fre- quantly and such information often aids the passage of legislation of advantage to the local business man. according to George B. Moore. dis trict secretary Of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who ad- dressed the Rotary club today.
 The slogan of the national Cham ber. according to MT. Moore, is. If 1t is- net good for business 1t il not good for tho country and if it is not good for the country 1t is not good for business"
 He recounted the history of the formation of the national Chamber in 1913 when President Taft said he could sound the attitude Of la bor all over the country through the late Samuel Gompers. but there was no way to get the concen- trated business attitude. Because of this the national Chamber. was born and now has 1.700 organization members and 22.ooo corporations and individuals.
 He explained that when questions come up concerning legislation about to be enacted by congress which are of interest to the coun- try as . whole, the national Cham Der through its referendum ballot ascertains tho general attitude of the entire country.
 That the national Chamber is of extreme importance in the minds of the national leaders he said is shown by the fact that at the an- nual meeting. May 2, there were s9 senators and congressman present.
 He explained how it is impossible for any individual congressman to study the entire list of bills submit ted. More than 1000 were submitted 1t one session. The United States Chamber of Commerce analyzes these bills and reports on them
 The federal budget is one of the bills sponsored by the national chamber. according to the speaker. He dwelt at some length on the ad- vantages to the country and to busi- ness in general by the saving of two million dollars through the national budget in one year.
 4 campaign of health education b about to be started soon, the speaker continued, citing the loss to business and industry through sickness, which he said runs into 12,2So,oo0,o0o in lost wages in one year.
 He advocated monthly meeting Of the combined civic clubs and Cham bers ef Commerce to discuss com munity and national problems and told of how individual business men using modern methods have sue csssfully met chain store compeu- ton.
 MT. Moore was introduced by Sec retary Ralph H. Benson of the local chamber.
 Next Thursday the club will oo- servs Father and Son day.
