INSTALLMENT
Debts Slow Down Recovery
Says Green

Washington.-"In "Installment buying
goes hand in hand with unemploy
ment in retarding the return to nor
NAL business" says VIM. Green
president A. F. of L., in his monthly
Survey of Business"
'In 1929 it is estimated that nearly
six billion dollars worth of goods
were sold on installment. This is IL
per cent of all our retail sales. For
the last five years between one-halt
and two-thirds of all automobiles
sold in this country were bought on
installment. 1t is significant that
better living has been borrowed from
the future rather than paid for by
increasing wages.
"Installment payments depend on
steady employment. When unemploy-
ment cuts off income, creditors pro-
tect themselves by selling out their
customers. Thus wage earners are
heavy losers and secondhand goods
are thrown on the market.

POST OFFICE RENT
IS DEFICIT FACTOR

Chicago.-Federal post office off
cials, who point to the departments
yearly whenever postal work
ers ask for improved conditions
could inquire with profit into excess
rentals paid in this city.
Tax assessors declare that build
ing postal stations on bonds mad leas-
ing them to the department at high
rentals is a gold mine.
Nine post office properties, leased
from Jacob Kup & Co., local invest
ment house, have a market vlaue of
$1,052,211. Bonds tina total $685.
600, or more than twice the value of
these properties, have been sold to
the public.
Bonds are supposed to be based on
physical value, but in these cases the
bonds are predicated on huge rentals
collected from the government under
long-term leases.

SENATE ELECTS:
HOUSE REJECTS

Washington.-The house rejected
the senate amendment to the tariff
bill which would provide for export
debenture payments to agriculture
and the senate plan to deprive the
president of the power to make
changes in duties under the flexible
tariff provision.
Both proposals were defeated by
overwhelming votes in the house, but
senators will insist on their reten-
ton.
Under the present law the presi-
dent may make changes in the taric
law, but the new tariff bill extends
this power. The senate amendment
prvoides that the tariff commission,
in recommending any change in tariff
duties, shall report directly to con
gress, instead of the president, as at
present

BACKWARD IDEAS
Cause of Suffering to Wage
Women

Wahsingtno. Wage-working wom-
en- are victims of ancient ideas, de-
clared Miss Mary Anderson, director
United States Women's Bureau.
IF progress in ideas could be made
to keep pace with our material prog
ress," said Miss Anderson, much of
the injustice and discrimination
against women workers would disap-
pear as by magic"
The bureau chief pointed out that
invention has revolutionized women's
work and that the gradual transfor-
nation of women's unpaid services
into paid employment has developed
many social and economic problems.
With the resultant new scale of
living costs, many men become unable
under existing wage standards to
meet the family needs" said Miss
Anderson.

Charles G. Booth. whose "Gol Bullets was among the most wide ly read mystery novels of recent years, has written another thrilling story of romance and intrigue. Murder at High Tide" It will ap- pear in the Herald, chapter daily, beginning Monday, April 2S.
 Booths unusual talent for de- veloping a striking plot, with an abundance of surprising climaxes and gripping suspense, is again evil dent in Murder at High Tide" The story moves swiftly and creates a tense excitement, but all the baffling events fit logically together in the solution of the crime.
 The author has chosen an inter- esting background for his story. Ail the action takes place on San Lu- cas island, a tiny bit of land in the Pacific six miles off the California coast.
 For more than 100 years. this is- land has figured in the history Of the Pacific. Originally granted by the King of Spain to the Valasque7 family in the early 1S00s. it re- mained in their possession, veri- table feudal estate, until the be- ginning of the goth century, when impoverishment forced them to re- linquish the possession.

BLAMES DRY LAW
 FOR COLLEGE RUM
Extent of Liquor Consumption
 by Girls Alarms Little

New York, April IT (UP)-Col- lege education in America is slowly finding itself after long period of struggling with the obsolete forces of orthodoxy which have prevented it's advancement, Dr. Clarence Cook Little, noted educator, believes.
 Little, who was busted as presi- dent of the University of Michigan because of his attempted reforms, enumerated some of his ideas in an interview with the United Press.
 He finds fault with the present methods of o-education. the exist ence of college fraternities, the use of liquor on the campuses and with college athletics, which he said needed a complete revolution.
 Dr. Little said college drinking has increased to an amazing degree under prohibition.
 "The extent to which college girls use liquor" he said. " is such that it completely overwhelms one. The drinking habits of students at mems colleges have changed under prohi- bition, but there was always heavy drinking at those places. The men students used to drink beer. Now they drink hard liquor.'
