indicates that much of the hoarded funds causing President Hoover serious concern is composed of money withdrawn from private banking circles and entrusted to the Federal Government.
 In November 193o some Is months ago, postal savings deposits aggregated s2O0427,846. On Decem- Der 31 1881 or 13 months later, this had increased more than two and ons-half times to $595663 821 In January the increase continued unabated and by the end of the month total of ,O34 was recorded.
 Postal authorities expect let down as the re- suit of the Administrations antihoarding activities Official reports have been issued for February but it is known there was some decrease ln the deposit rate during the first part of the month The Post Office Department has asked Congress to authorize an increase in the maximum of single deposits from the present sum of S2,5OO to 5000 on the plea that additional funds can be deposited and thus brought into circulation. This move is being strenuously opposed by private banking inter ests as unjustified competition to their business which is already suffering -unduy from combina- lion of circumstances not the least of which is public tmidity about their soundness

By HOWARD BLAKESLEE

NEW YORK, March 5.-On the roof of the world" in Indian Tibet, where British medical re- cords indicate cancer does not now exist. the Roerich Museum of New York is starting a unique biologi- cal experiment.
 There is a mystery about this Tibetan cancer-free district. An cient books show that cancer once flourished there, and that it was fought with juices of plants and herbs.
 These books never have been translated by moderns and the Roerich experiment will combine an expert translation with the lat est scientific methods of studying the plants to check agaist the lost lore
 The site is the district of Lahoul. Dr. Georges Roerich has collected there two or three dozen of the books for translation. Dr Walter N Koelz, botanist and zoologist of the University of Michigan, is inves- tigating the plants.
 Incidents Related
 The incidents which inspired this work are related by Miss Esther J. Litchmann, vice president of the museum. who recently returned to New York
 In one indisputable respect these Tibetan plants are different from anything else They are giants. Miss Litchmann saw ''forget-me- nots the size of pennies, royal blue peoples. rhododendrons as large as trees, mosses nearly the size Of marsh grasses.
 There is one root" Miss Litch- mann says, given to children to im- prove their memories. That's what the Tibetans say about it. This may mean that memory works better un- der some stimulant in the root, or that there is a blood change. Toethaehe Cure
 "A tailor with toothache came to our camp for relief. We gave him everything available, including nar- cotics, but without much effect Then we saw a Tibetan physician insert into a cavity in this mans tooth what appeared to be tendril of a plant. He left it there a few minutes, then twisted it around and drew out a nerve. The tailor saio he was cured.

PACKERS DISPUTE STONES CHARGES

Charges made by Chairman Stone of the Federal Farm Loan Board that wholesale meat prices have not reduced proportionatey to the declines in prices paid for livestock sharply challenged by the big packers. who cite current quotations of meats prove that his accusations are unjust They declare that the lower prices they pay for livestock caused by the decreased prices received for meat products In other words the trade refused to buy except at lower figures and consequently they had to cut down the rates paid to stock producers.
 Price reductions said the packers, have ranged from 62 per cent down to 30 per cent. Bacon was 45 per cent lower; smoked ham B per cent smoked shoulders 88 per cent pork loin 34 per cent; dry salt pork 50 per cent beef 20 to 2 per cent accord ing to grade; lamb and veal 20 per cent all from levels prevailing in 193o Annual reports of most of the packers, it also pointed out showed de- ficits for last year.
 Stock prices last month were lower than for years Hogs selling at s388 per hundredweight at the end of January reached a new low point and the average of $4 for the month was the lowest in 34 years. Beef steers dropped to S6.38 per hundred at the same time. and compared to a three-year average for corresponding dates of $1l.29

ENTHUSIASM oUTRUNs GOOD SENSE.

An Associated Press despatch from Oklahoma City to The Empire gives the following enlightenng information CD which must come as a surprise and something of a shock to the rank and file of Alaska Democrats:
 letter from an exuberant politician,
 o. B. Skidmore of Ketchkan Alaska to
 Murray for President headquarters here said
 Alaskas six delegates to the Democratic
 National Convention next June are lined
 up" for Governor Murray.
 And that's news that is news At a Territorial convention held in Fairbanks last January, without dissenting vote the Democrats instructed its dele gation to the convention to vote unit for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt It also requested by name that six candidates file for the delegateshps There has been no other instructions given the delegates to be that supercedes the one for Roosevelt It is apparent that MT. skidmore's enthusiasm for Okla homa's widely known chief executive has far out distanced his good sense
 Six of the candidates for Democratic dele gateshps are all from Ketehkan or it's environs. Two other Ketchikan seeking the post of Democratic National Committeeman for Alaska It may be that among themselves, if they are elected these eight have agreed to deliver Alaskas vote in the convention over to Gov Murray regard less of the instructions of the Territorial tion. If there has been any such agreement or if it is their intention to support Gov. Murray, it has been successfully concealed. If either be the case and MT. skidmore has been informed of it it is still evident that his enthusiasm has robbed him of even ordinary political acumen
 Gov. Murray is able leader. But if he were all that his followers claim for him, he would stil lack the qualifications as candidate and for tht Presidency that Gov Roosevelt undoubtedly possess es The latter's Alaska supporters have nothing tt fear by accepting the issue that the Ketchikar politicians have raised even though it may hav been disclosed unwittingy.

SELLING HOMES BY CONTRACT.

novel idea designed to promote home owner ship was suggested recently by President Avery of the United States Gypsum Company who said in the future system of home selling would be adopted that would be similar to the plan used in marketing automobiles. Dealers in materials would not only furnish them but they will also ar range all details including financing and service It wont be mail order business, but will be handled locally on the system motor vehicles Mater ial dealers in better position to combine their own trade with the details of construction, financing and service than any other agency, and offer the plan on nationwide basis Where the field is too small for single concerns handle the contract business of home selling MT. Avery suggests com bination of all dealers in materials Such method would undoubtedly make it possible for thousands now occupying rented quarters to own their own homes and should improve the types of constuc- ton.

The Proper Place.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Presidents effort to relieve the country of it's obsession of hoardng is wise and demonstrates his knowledge of that human psychology which moves to act through impulses of fear which sets individual selfshness above every other con- sideration and leads to inevitable disruption and hardship without any rational cause whatsoever.
 Old tin cans, crooks, socks safety deposit boxes, secret hiding places of whatever kind of character poor substitutes for accredited banks. which con- lstitute the backbone of all business of all industry. It is the business of banks to keep money in cir cuation to feed with the feblood of business all the arteries of prosperous financial and commercial enterprise The effect of private hoarding is to paralyze the channels of trade and industry. Idle money is dead money. Restriction of its proper circulation inevitably is calamitous.
 Money intrusted to the care of banks reasonably is safe-far safe than it is in some private hiding place. subject to innumerabe chances and dangers And fear lack of confidence unrea- soning apprehension is responsible in large measure for the present depression, which is holding back an unprecedented of prosperity which could be with us almost overnight if people would have it SO Cease hoarding. Trust your banks and get down to business The solution of the problem is up te the people. You the Government, and it is whatever you choose to make it.

Al. Smith and Peace.
CNew York World -Telegram1

Alfred E. Smith writes world peace and arma- ment in the current issue of the School Crier, magazine of the Hessian Hills School at Croton- on nHndson, along with letters the same topic from Senator Robert F Wagner and Norman Thomas MT Smith wrote as follows
 When a man buys a pistol he does not intend to it as watch charm, nor does he care to have it for ornament on his desk If the leading nations of the world to continue to burden down their taxpayers with heavy armament, while it may be urged that it is for the purpose of defense, it can be used for purposes of aggression, and the nation that has the second navy would be better off it had nothing Nations
 usually go to war in the name of justice or of fair play and the size of the armament too frequently determines their sense of what constitutes justice I like what was said recently by Premier Macdonald of Great Britain. If you believe in peace and you preach peace. do that thing which will permits it's realization Certainly it is not an argument for the promotion of peace to
 be compelled to admit that more money is
 spent on armament today in Europe and in
 America, as well, than has been spent in
 any peace period heretofore known There

achievement of a genuine profess
sional type, which Is neither dull nor
brazen, he has also succeeded in
representing, with commendable un-
derstanding Of character, man who
meets disappointment, rebuff and
deception in love with the lightneSs
of touch which marks him as good
choice for the kind of drama which
is set forth in the name Of the play.
Defeat leaves him in a mood which
is untouched by the drabber phases
Of life Intelligence in acting gives
force to an intelligent attitude to-
ward treachery, and without pose or
obvious depression. he accepts his
loss with the spirit that is by trad1-
ton associated with type which
never acknowledges mistakes.
The play itself involves some i'm
probabilities. Popular study of vio-
lence as an outgrowth of emotional
experiences has attracted some at
tention to that which has been
known as "the perfect crime" when
applied to homicide. In defense OF
others, this Fairbanks hero hides
a crime by throwing a body from
the upper floor Of an apartment
house, thus appearing to destroy the
marks left by the slayer. 1t Is ex-
travagant in details, and colors the
story with unnatural developments.
It's chief value is in giving Mr.. Fair
banks an opportunity to engage in
some highly entertaining operations.
Associated with the chief member
of the cast are Ann Dvorak, Frances
Dee and Lee Tracy. The ndnamed
is to be commended for her creation
of a role of external merit, while
revealing with unusual skill the re-
actions of the deceiver. Cheerful
honesty in the midst of sordid trag-
edy are made effective by Miss Dvorak
and Mr.. Tracy. Numerous other
actors contribute to production
which has an abnormal plot but Is
well acted.
