LITTLE FREEDOM
 FOR PRESIDENT

Rockford, H., (U.P)-President Hoover has less freedom than Al Capone will have at Leavenworth prison, according to Herbert 5. Hicks, former state. senator and manager of the 1894 Leland Stan ford University football team, for which Hoover was student business agent. Hicks, with members of the team. was a breakfast and dinner guest at the White House recently when the President entertained his old schoolmates, and on his re- turn here was asked to tell of his experiences as a presidential guest
 "The President lives like pris- oner in the White House." said Hicks. "He has no more freedom than Al Capone will have at Leav- enworth. l think our visit afford ed him the greatest opportunity l for relaxation that he has enjoyed since he became President"
 "The President and all of us en- joyed a very pleasant evening",
 "Everyone but Tex Field spoke to him as MT. President but Tex would slap him on the shoulder and say, Lissen, Bert, here's what you ought to do"

"It looks as though tncrc Bo- ing to be some snow," said James.
 Doris wandered back to the elec- trio train counter, but did not pause there long. She knew the prices were beyond her reach. Her thoughts had been started along that line, however, and she wanted to buy James a train of some Kind even if she could not get him one driven by electricity. At last she found an engine driven by the pow CT of springs. Including a coal car and a passenger car, 1t was priced at only 60 cents; and she made the purchase for James.
 Then she returned to the coun- ter where James was gazing at the model airplanes. It was there that Aunt Alice found them.
 How would you like to go to a movie now? asked Aunt Alice. Fine" replied Doris and James In a breath.
 Soon they were in a theater deeply interested in the program. The pictures were talkies, not the silent kind of movies shown once a week at Four Corners. In addi- tion to the drama and the comedy, there was a picture showing every day life in Spain. James wished that his geography at school could be as interesting as the travel pic ture.
 Aunt Alice took the children to her apartment and prepared q tasty meal.
 Tomorrow night will be Christ mas Eve" she remarked, "I won- der whether there will be snow on the ground by that time."
 In the early afternoon of the following day. Doris and James boarded the bus which would take them back to Four Corners. They were sorry to leave the city where they had had such a good time: but on the other hand they were glad to be going home with their Christmas presents.
 At first the bus was crowded. but most of the passengers got of at towns and villages along the route, long befolre the bus reached Four Corners. Just before they came to the village James said
 "It looks us though there's going | to be some snOw."

DAILY NEWS LETTER
By EDWARD STORER IIIuitnsI prnss Stan COrresDOndc1

e.--(UP)-State, or social insurance, of an obligatory charac- ter, has made great steps in Italy during the last few years, and has formed the subject of a number Of new laws.
 The report made to the ministry of .corporations on the social in- surance situation and the various schemes involved therein by the joint budget commission shows that In spite of the ruling crisis the position of state insurance Is sound and even promising.
 Sickness and accident insurance in the case of both agriculturists and industrial workers have proved equal to the demands made upon them. The bank ruptcy of some mutual insurance ompanies has imposed serious financial burdens on the associ- ated industrial firms which have been under the necessity of mak- ing special contributions to counter-balance the inadequacy of the normal receipts.
 An Increase
 An increase in the unemploy- ment, disablement, old age and tuberculosis insurances Is shown by the figures. The unemploy- ment find has not shown any great drop in it's contributions, Notwithstanding the crisis. Nor has this fund been obliged so far to touch its strong reserves. Itt financial resources have enabled the managing officials to make a useful contribution towards the realization of the program oi public works planned by Musso- lini to alleviate winter unemploy- ment.
 The report goes on to refer tc the work of the national fund oi social insurance in connection with tuberculosis control.

SAYS PERSONALITY
 DEPENDS ON DIETING
By NEA Service

London.-If your personality isn't what it should be. you can change 1t, according to Dr. Donald Laird. by regulating your diet.
 ."An energetic. lively personality is associated with activity of the thyroid gland, which requires large amounts of iodine for it's well-be- ing" Dr. Laird explains. Iodine Is present in all foods that come from the sea, so If you want to be lively. let shrimps. shellhsh, and seaweed be your slogan"
 If you're the other extreme--too energetic and border on the excit- able--sweets are the things to eat
 sweets" the doctor tells us, "haye a wonderful stimulating power on the gastric juices. They assist good digestion and soothe tired nerves"

Mine explosions, such as the one which caused the death of 80 miners at Mlfield Ohio, could be almost entirely prevented by the adoption of newly discovered safety measures, according to government experts.
 Many mine disasters are caused by the explosion of coal dust suspended n the air under ground It has been found that by the introduction of other dust posed of inert materials which mixes With the coal known as rocking dust, is recommended by mining en- gneers but has not come into general use.

 HEAVY LOSS IN FTRS Preliminary fisures. Which. are | largely incomplete, indicate that tie fur industry was Hit harder than any other by the conditions existing outside of Alaska To the end of the year, the Customs de- clarations showed only $739,5O5 worth of all kinds of furs ship ped to the States.
 This figure, however does not include the fur seals and foxes from the Pribilof Islands, nor the by-mail shipments of all var- ieties during the year. In 1929 the value of these latter or last two items was s 3,628, ,990. Fur seals are not believed to have declined heavily in total value since over 2,Oo0 more seal pelts were taken than in the for ner year. The by-mail shipments which were worth s2 2,872, ,49O in 1929, will probably be reported for last year at substantially less than that amount.

Oth- CT reindeer products also reg- istered small gains.
 One thousand seven hundred and 83 sheep hides were shipped south, as compared to none in 1929. Wool exports remained sta- tionary in quantity but declined 50 per cent in value Slightly more than 5000 pounds were shipped valued at $3,OO0-
