NEW YORK, August 19.-The country
has poured out its sympathy to the
countless thousands of business men
whose enterprises and fortunes were
wrecked by the depression, but comes
now one who asks that no tears be shed
for him and proclaims himself a bene-
ficiary of the economic nightmare Of
the past three years.
The experience of this man, as related
by a well-knoWn Wall Street banker,
was not unlike that OF the majority,
except for a unique final chapter, with
the result that he is in better position,
at any rate relatively, than before the
depression started.
He ran a hardware business for sew
elal years, selling out early In 1929 for
Sl50,000. This money, together with
a like amount of borrowed funds, was
entrusted to his broker for marginal
purchases Of sound and conservative"
securities In the October-November
crash of 1929, his banker sold him out,
and he salvaged only $6S 900. This he
deposited in a bank. Then the bank
closed its doors After much patient
waiting, he received liquidating pay
ment of s35,000 from the suspended
bank.
Examining the stock market quota
tons one gloomy evening the business
man found he could replace for $4,000
all the securities which he had previ-
ously bought for Sl50,006 of his own
end $4,000 of borrowed money. He
proceeded to do so, Then, moved by
curiosity, he visited the new owners OF

of Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick,

hours.
Early today, however, the woman
who once was known as the richest
In the world, was sleeping peacefully,
in her suite in a local hotel. Physicians
and her nurse stood watch, awaiting
developments, while members OF the
sick woman's family rested from their
long vigil at her bedside, in nearby
rooms. ready to respond to any call
from the sick chamber.
Experience Tense Day.
It was a tense day for members Of
the Mccormick family. united by sick
ness after long enduring schisms when
Mrs. Mccormick yesterday sank into
coma from which doctors. said she
would not recover. There was frantic
activity to revive her sufficiently to
recognize her younger daughter,
Mathilde Mccormick Oser, who ar
rived after a 7,000-mile trip from
Switzerland to be at her mothers bed
side.
Relatives of the stricken woman gave
Florence Everett, East Hampton, Mass,
nurse, credit for reviving Mrs. Nc
Cormick to consciousness so she could
greet Mrs Oser, whose marriage to Max
Oser, Swiss riding master, was the
cause of maternal estrargement.
Miss Everett had been dicmissed in
the belief that further ministrations
would be fruitless. and was at rail-
road station about to depart for home,
when Mrs. Oser arrived. Mrs. Nc
Cormick's secretary hurried to the sta
ton and found Miss Everett just be-
fore the train left.

PARIS, Nov. 29.-Immediate de-

United States was sidetracked by

Louis Marin, Nationalist deputy
who prepared a motion opposing
payment of any description, agreed
to resolution proposed by Maurice

the finance commission consider the
debt question before beginning the

Palmade, on behalf of the govern

parliament adopted a definite at

opportunity to make its decision.
Premier Edouard Herriot was ex-

TURKEY PRICE
SLIDING DOWN

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29.-U.P)-
Christmas turkey may be purch-
ased in Los Angeles for 20 cents a
pound this year, and the farmer
who raises them will lose money
on the deal.
The Los Angeles Produce Ex-
change gave out this cheerful
gloomy news today as the bottom
figuratively fell out of the turkey
market following the Thanksgiv-
ing day rush.
Although officials of the ex-
change would not forecast an ac-
tual price for the Christmas bird
until about December 10, they ad-
mitted it would be "lower" than
the Thanksgiving price, which
ranged from 25 to 20 cents pound.
Today, with the market still glut-
ted with birds left over from
Thanksgiving, the prices ranged
from IA cents for old tom turkeys
to 20 cents for young toms, dress
ed.
Twenty-cent turkeys means a re-
turn of approximately II cents to
the farmer, which is less than the
cost of raising them, exchange Of
ficials said. The other three cents
goes for boxing and shipping to the
wholesale market.
The prices of chickens was not
much better, but proportionately
had not fallen as low as turkeys.
Chickens ranged from 13 to Is
cents a pound.
