GATHER REPTILES
 FOR NEW MUSEUM
Iguanas So Ugly They Are
 Beautiful, Director Says

Washington, Oct. 9 LP - From all the odd corners of the earth. frogs, lizards, turtles alligators, and snakes are assembling here for the December opening of the new reptile exhibition house of the National Geological Park.
 Every day brings it's curious gift animals to Dr. William Mann, su- perintendent. He slows them away in basements and furnace rooms, in attic corners and office windows to wait the day when they can preen themselves in decorative glass cubi- clcs before admiring crowds.
 Seal Tank Full
 The seal tank of his animal hospi- tai is full of soft-shelled turtles and caymans from the upper Amazon. In his own offices are three smooth clawed African frogs which never come out of the water; several dark skinned salamand axolotoles from Mexico; and a yellow Florida chick en snake, which already has en- hanced it's value by proving itself a good feeder, snakes in captivity be- ing wont to starve themselves by hunger strikes.
 Dr. Paul Bartsch. curator of mol lusks of the Smithsonian. brought 23 live iguanas, giant lizards of the southern Bahamas, and 120 live hermit crabs back to Dr. Mann from a four month cruise in which he secured for himself 1000 bird skins, 1, ,O0O snake skins. and quarter million snail shells.

 In the absence of any statement from the White House, both Davis and Pinchot declined further com- ment. Dr. Davis, who had been campaigning with Pinchot in west ern counties, was the guest of honor at testimonial dinner to the dictator of the Darby lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, in Darby, a Della ware county suburb. last night. He spoke briefly, but did not discuss politics. Asked later to clarify the situation. he said:
 T will not say anything further about that. I explained all I am going to explain in Washington" A dispatch from Washington said that Davis had indicated the statements he made at Uniontown represented the only public expression he wish ed to make at this time.
 Dorrance Issues Defy
 Charles Dorrance, state chairman of the liberal party, in addressing a Hemphill rally, challenged Pinchots statement concerning the president.
 "The newspapers carry a state ment." Dorrance said, that MT. Pinchot stated the president of the United States has sent word to him that he wished MT. Pinchot elected governor. Secretary of Labor Davis speaking as a cabinet officer of MT. Hoover denied this fact. As Secre- tary Davis is a member of Presi- dent Hoover's cabinet, I will let you draw your own conclusions"

DAVIS AT ODDS
 WITH PINCHOT
Disagreement on Endorsement
 Leads to Split

Philadelphia, Oct. % LP,--A re- ported disagreement between Secre- tary of Labor James J. Davis and Clifford Pinchot, republican candi- dates, respectively, for United States senator and governor, on the atti- tude of President Hoover in the Pennsylvania campaign has created a stir in political circles.
 Reports that the incident had re- suited in a breach between Davis and Pinchot and that they no long CT would campaign together could not be verified here.
 Davis Denies Endorsement
 Secretary Davis, in an address at a republican rally in Uniontown on Monday, at which Pinchot> also spoke, said that President Hoover had not endorsed any candidate, land he cannot even endorse me and l am a member of his cabinet" /"

Bartsch said of the iguanas.
 His largest iguana, three and one half feet long, he brought back as baggage, fearful to trust it to parcel posts.
 Says Crabs Stunning
 And the hermit crabs
 Stunning things! The biggest have ever collected, in huge pearly marine shells borrowed from mol lusks they have eaten!" said Dr. Bartsch.
 Four young tortoise shell turtles. the kind that furnish the true shell for fancy combs and cases, complet- ed the Bartsch contribution.
 From the St. Louis zoo came s6 pound snapping turtle, out of the Mississippi River. His present home is a basement tub, but he's to be put on a pedestal in the new zoo.
 "Too many turtles are exhibited so people only see their backs" said pr. Mann. T shall put him in glass, high enough so you can see him eye-to-eye."
 From the Toledo zoo came two beautiful and rare box snakes, choc- olate brown and black. Finest speci- men, perhaps, of the entire collec- ton is the king cobra, 14 1-2 feet long, which waits in the New York zoo for the reptile house opening.
 Reptiles to fill 30 cages will come from Snake" King, Texas collector, who will also send a jar of crysal- lized venom. That's to be put in a little museum which will illustrate all the appliances snakes have for poisoning man. and all the means man has developed for counteract- ing the poison.

counted for over 22 per cent of the total.
 A comparison of the companies reporting exports with those report ing imports shows that while there were 173 manufacturers reporting exports of industrial machinery and parts, aggregating more than s15,- 100000, there were Shly Is concerns in this line that imported, and their aggregate imports were only $S46,- 900. On the other hand, there were 96 manufacturers of paper products whose aggregate exports were only $5,300,000, yet there were 64 import ing manufacturers in this line pur- chasing materials aggregating more than s20,000,000.
 Some SIS companies, with aggre- gate imports valued at $65.000,000, reported no exports; while 496 com- panies, with aggregate imports val ued at $152, 2,000,000, reported ex- ports. Thus, more than half of the importing manufacturers did not ex- port. Those importing companies, however, which did export a portion of their manufactures, accounted for 70 per cent of the aggregate value of imports. In a comparison by states, it is seen that in Massachu- setts, Connecticut and Vermont, the aggregate value of imports by com panies which did some exporting ex- ceeded that of concerns which re- ported no exports. In Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, on the other hand. the imports by firms which reported no export business were greater in value than those by companies reporting exports.
 In conclusion, it should be re- membered that the data submitted in this brief preliminary report is merely sample of the abundant material to be found in the numer- ous tables, charts, and descriptive analysis of the complete Foreign Trade Survey of New England,' which will be available shortly from the government printing office.

STREET WIDENING
 PROJECTS SCANNED
Improvements Discussed by Members Of City Plan Board

City Engineer P. A. Merriam and Chairman J. B. Comstock of the city plan commission held an infor- nal discussion last evening on plans for improving the city's layout by widening streets and cutting back corners where necessary. The com- mission was to have held meeting but the members failed to appear and it was impossible to transact business.
 Eventually, the city engineer said, South High street will be widened between West Main and Walnut streets and. the last named street will also be widened. The corners at the post office and the First Bap- tist church will be set back as part of the plan.
 The engineer recommended to Chairman ComstGck that study be made of the feasibility of cutting back the corners of Prospect and School streets so that an outlet for traffic from the post office to Arch street by way of South High, Walnut, Prospect and Grand streets might be provided without encountering any dangerous corners.
 Chairman Comstock said study of the traffic situation will be made shortly by his commission in con- junction with the police department. Among other features to be investi- gated is the used of the triangle at the south end of Central park as a waiting place for buses.
 Arch street and. Rockwell avenue was also discussed there being dan gerous condition there caused by the joining of two highways on a grade. City, Engineer Merriam said he is working on q plan to cut down the crest of both streets and bring them together on an even grade near the head of Locust street.
