Served Master Well
For nearly three decades he
answered his masters mail. He
guarded off touches" talked
nicely to actors who were out
Of work, engaged executive
staffs for tours and never failed
to phone the boss at $50
every night. That rule went,
regardless of whether Cohan
was on Forty-Second Street or
far away on the road.
Dunn never permitted anyone
to write his life story. There
was no biography of the man
anywhere. Tommy Mohr, of the
Mcbride ticket organization,
knew him better than the rest,
but even Tommy isn't sure
whether Denver or st. Louis
was his birthplace. His career
started in the boxoffice Of the
Olympic Theater a long, long
time ago. Beyond that, nobody
seems to know.
Eddie was never known as a
writing press agent" He was
a stunt man" and a good one.
He never tossed a woman into
a park reservoir and he re-
fused to stage fake duels. He
did, however, blow up toy bal
looms and sail them over the
main streets of the land. On
the blue balloons we're pair of
free tickets. There weren't
many blue ones, but the excite
ment was always terrific.
The man liked his occasional
nip. On a tour with the Four
Cohans, some Is years ago,
George Cohan decided to have
a little fun with him. He told
Dunn that unless he signed the
pledge his job was a thing of
the past.

Spend, But Not Too Fast,

Makes Distinction
He explained:
But we must distinguish be-
tween spending as much as we
can and as fast as we can. 1t
$ easy to show by arithmetic
that the man who spends
slowly in early life is the man
who has the most to spend

PROSPERITY UP
To BUYERS

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 26
UN.S0-The American consumer
will be the one to decide whether
Or not prosperity shall return to
the nation, accorolng to Gilbert
T. Hodges, president of the Adver-
tising Federation of America, dur
ing a recent visit to Portland.
Two economic courses are open
to the public, Hodges declared.
One, fostered by false economy
and purchase of bare necessities,
will result in lowered wages and
a return to the discomforts of
pre-war days.
Urges Mass Production
The other, based on mass pro-
duction and consumption, will in
sure high wages and enable rich
and poor to enjoy the finer
things of life, he said.
He explained:
"The theory of economic life
evolved Immediately after the
war and is predicated on mass
production, mass consumption,
and high wages to be immedi-
ately returned to industry. 1t
proved itself until the time fear
rode into the minds of our peo-
pie about a year ago.
CrawIed Under Bed
"The new system was not
deeply rooted and when the
octopus of fear arose it Suf-
fered. Led by the bankers and
business men of the nation,
prosperity crawled under the
bed to hide from the mythical
storm. The storm is largely
myth, for the losses in the stock
market and loss of buying
power from the unemployed re-
sulting from curtailing of buy
ing power combined are neglible
The people who are at work
have plenty of money to spend,
but they boast of using old
things instead of buying new"
The Washington times., 1931-01-26

that one saves between the
ages Of 20 to 80 will give four
dollars to spend between the
ages Of IS to S."
Some Can't Save
Although admitting that many
persons cannot save money now,
Mr.. De Forest said deposits in
savings banks had increased
about 100000, 900 since the busi.
ness depresSions began, II months
ago, and that most Of the gain
had been in the accounts of wage
earners.
He declared:
"It looks as II most people
can save when they really want
to do So"

Fred Carlson at Irkutch Writes of Extensive
 Russian Operations

I FAIRBANKS, Alaska-Writing to R. H. Ogburn of the Fairbanks Exploration Company under date of October II from Irkutsk, Siberia, Fred Carlson, one of the Fair banks miners. who contracted with the Soviet Government to instruct Russian gold miners in the Alaskan methods of mining, mentions that women are engaged in mining op- erations in Siberia. His letter, as printed in the Fairbanks News Miner read in part as follows;
 T have not done any thawing yet but I suppose I will be doing some in a month or SO I have been travelling most Of the time since reached Irkutsk. They first sent me to a mining district to lock over r~rthe ground ahead of the dredges in regard to steam and water thawing I was on that trip about 10 days.
 10,0G0 Miners Busy
 Tn one district I was in there were about 10000 miners working at dredging, drifting and open cut mining.
 You would be very much sur prised to see the way that they are mining in this country. In an o1Noro at1t ,,,fy,a +haxr l1o,,I tho ,Ji..t up with a small two wheel cart and 8 woman driver. In some drift mines they are using horses for hoisting the dirt up.
 "A wooden drum is used and an endless cable and two buckets They have a double shaft and one bucket comes up as the other goes down. In most places they arc using steam for hoisting in the same way.
 Women Tend to Sluices
 "The sluice boxes start from the shaft. The buckets come up and they have two men there to trip them into the sluices. They have a very steep grade on the boxes. Four women tend to the sluices. Tailings are hauled away with horses and dump cars. The track is laid in a circle. The drift mines run all winter Boxes are built from the ground up and steam is used to keep the water from freezing. It is a very expensive way of mining.
 Miners take out 45 cubic feet per six hour shift. The working hours are six hours underground and eight hours on dredges or any other work. The dredges are not digging very much, in fact not half as much as they should be.
 Building Steel Dredges
 They are building 12 new seven and one half cubic foot steel dredges in Siberia this year. At all mines and dredges that I have seen they have about twice as many men as we would have in Alaska doing the same amount of work.
 "Irkutsh is the headquarters of the mining industry in Ru ussia. They have a big office force here with about 500 men and women. MT. Wimmler tthe American en- gineer who was responsible for se-
