Seek Thief Suspect
With Marked Back

HAGERSTOWN, Md. July %.
Somewhere in the vicinity of
Edgemont is a man with the i'm
print of an iron shoe on his back.
He is wanted for an attempt to
rob the home of Frank New

act of stealing a battery from
his automobile. The thief fled
and Newcomer picked up the
weapon nearest to hand, an iron
shoe, and threw it at the man,
striking him in the back. He
said the blow was hard enough
to leave the imprint of the shoe
on the mans back.
Sheriff Downin apprehended a
suspect . eSterday and removed
his shirt, but there was no i'm
print on his back. He was re-
leased.

WET BALLYHOO'
DENOUNCED

A blow at what he called "wet
ballyhoo' was struck today by
Representative Beedy R.) of
Maine, House dry leader.
Beedy, basing his statement on
completely new data, hit hard at
the argument that the repeal of
prohibition would provide a new
outlet for cereal grains, put mil
lions to work. and greatly ease
the present tax burden.
The figures quoted by Beedy,
compiled by Samuel S. Wyer,
engineer and statistician for the
Columbus, Ohio, chamber of COM
merce. have been furnished so far
only to him and to Col. Amos w.
w. Woodcock. in charge of prohi-
bition enforcement. They are
shown in chart form. Summed
up. these are the results:
Average yearly grain produc-
ton for the years 1913-1917, in
elusive, was 4,749.O00.0 900 bushels.
The average used in making liquor
for the same period was 32.800..
900 bushels-about .007 per cent.
Total workers in the country,
45,00O.000. Total unemployed,
100000. Greatest number en-
ployed in liquor business, $4,000.

MUSEUM GIVEN
1925 RAILWAY

Americas first railway had
nothing to do with locomotives,
passengers, signal towers. or any
of the other things now common
ly associated with the word.
The word railway" Smith
sonian Institution officials point
out, means simply road or way"
that is provided with rails. They
received this week section of
the first railway IN America built
in 1926, a gift from George l..
Colburn, of Norfolk Down, Mass.
Steel rails not having been de-
veloped in 1926 either here or
abroad, iron rails were used to
carry the cars. The cars, horse
drawn. served to carry granite
from the Quincy quarries to the
main highway.
Berause stone was so plentiful
it was used then for ties. Sec
tions of the rail, therefore, will be
mounted in the exhibit on stone
ties when it is placed in Trans
portation Hall.

ACTIVITY HUNS
At TERMINAL

Government and other economy
moves may have lessened some
what the annual vacation rush,
but Union Station these days is
just as busy as ever-and buster.
The waiting room of the spa
cious terminal has taken on the
appearance OF an Army encamp-
ment, with overseas caps and
Army uniforms much in evidence.
The reason for this increased
activity is the exodus of the Bo-
nus Expeditionary Force, whose
members are permitted transpor-
tation home and IS cents daily
subsistence by an act Of Con-
greSS.
With 20 Veterans Administra-

LAW CONFUSING
! To M'KELLAR

The rulings of Comptroller
General j. R. McCarl in inter,
preting the economy act and its
furlong plan for Government en-
ployes are Confusing" to Sena-
tor Kenneth McKellar CD, Ten
nessee, member of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and
the special Economy Committee
Following his recent attack on
the furlough provisions in the
law, which will be published in
the final possession edition of
the Congressional Record on
Monday. Senator McKellar re-
peated today that the entire law
should be revised at the Decem-
Der session.
He would substitute a straight
salary cut for the furlough sys-
tenn and said today that Con-
gress made "grievous mistake"
in abandoning the straight cut
scheme originally proposed. He
added:
"The more I read of the
rulings of the Comptroller Gen
eral in interpreting this law,
and the opinions and actions
of the heads of Government
departments trying to put it
into effect, the more confused
/ become. But the law itself
is complicated and confusing.
We should never have enacted
it and will have to amend it.
I am receiving all sorts of COM
plants about it's Administration
and it is already resulting in
gross favOritiSm in some of the
Government agencies"

Hoarded Money Comes Out
of Hiding to Make Profit
Polk County, Iowa Farm, Sells
Three Times Within Week at
A Profit

= In Polk County Iowa last week
one eighty acre farm sold three
times, each time at a higher price.
The eighty had been on the mar
ket for two years. 1t was priced
cheap to settle an estate. Every
body in the township knew the
farm was offered for less than it
was worth. But because everybody
was so busy nursing the depression
they overlooked the bargain.
Early last week a town man
heard about this farm and went
out and bought it. The next day he
took a prospect out and sold the
eighty to him for a $1,000 profit.
BY that time the farmers in the
township heard about it and they
all wanted to buy the farm because
they knew it was selling too>cheap.
The second purchaser finally sold
it to neighboring farmer for ST.
600 more than he paid for it. Thus
the last buyer was stung $1,000 for
something he wanted but was too
timid to buy until outside money
came in and woke up the neighbor-
hood. 1t developed that a number
Of people in the township wanted
the farm and could easily have
bought but preferred to keep their
cash buried in a jar in the base
ment rather than take a chance on
a good investment.
This same condition probably
exists in many quarters in the
middle west. If you have any cash
that is not working, now is the
time to get it out. Buy now. There
never will be, in the lives of MANY
people, as many good bargains in
lands and other investments as
there are today. Hoarded money is
no good to anybody, least of all the
hoarder.
