t'onal guidance forum at the Central
Y. NJ. c. A. Monday.
Ability to make a short address in

a lawyer. but forensic ferocity Is not in
such good standing as in former days,
except In the Senate" he said.
Much OF q lawyers work IS conducted
behind the doors of his Office now-a-

of complicated legal processes, the
speaker explained. Radio, aviation and
international law have opened profitable
fields for the lawyer.
Mr.. WoodSon said the successful law

the increased life of pneumatic tires. 1t
was first introduced into the rubber

covered that far more important was
the toughening of the rubber to the
extent that a 10000 mileage was made
possible. Seventy per cent of the car

NEW YORK, october 24.-Four men
convicted of kidnapping Charles M.
Rosenthal, youthful Wall Street broker.
for $4,000 ransom, were sentenced
yesterday to terms of so years each in
prison.
The kidnapers we're Marcus Blu

Sileo, alias John Rocco; Theodore
Adanolfi, alias Harry King, the latter
two both from Newark, N. j., and
Nicholas Rutigliano, manager Of the
Hotel Wendig.
A mulatto girl, known as Betty
Green, was tried with the kidnapers,
but was acquitted by the jury which
found the four men guilty. The girl
acknowledged that she brought Rosen-
thai into the hands of the kidnaperS,
but insisted that she had no knowl-
edge of the reason why they wanted
him.
The defense of the four men was an
assertion that RoSenthal had himself
arranged to have himself kidnapped, so
that he might obtain money secured
from his mother as a ransom. This
was denied by RoSenthal.

During my absence I conferred with

they believe that we ale headed that

This is emphasized by the manner
in which buyers are taking advantage
of the reduced prices of the day to
buy what they need and for what they
can pay. The moro this is done the
more work will be provided for every

return of prosperity.

But I am very definitely proposing that

''Fcrward-looking men and women

All these things brought about, We
will enter another cycle of prosperity
and a longer one than this country has
ever known, for, profting by the expe-
rience of the past, steps will be taken
to avoid the pitfalls which caused the
last collapse.
we have nearly half of all the gold
of the world; we have raw products
enough to feed and clothe the world,
and yet we hoard with the fear of
