COLD
THE FIRST DAY!

A cold once rooted is a cold Of
danger! Trust to no makeshift
methods. A cold, being an inter.
nal infection, calls for internal
treatment. A cold also calls for
a COLD remedy and not a prep
aration good for number Of
other things as well.
Groves Laxative Bromo Qui.
nine is what a cold requires. It
is expressly a cold remedy. It Is
internal and direct-and it does
the four things necessary. It
opens the bowels, combats the
cold germs and fever in the sys-
tenn, relieves the headache and
grippy feeling and tones and
fortifies the entire system. Any.
thing less than that is inviting
trouble. Get Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine at any druggist,
soc and soc. Ask for it by the
full name and accept no Substi-
tute on any pretext.

MRS.ROOSEVELT
RESUMESR ROLE
Of TEACHER
BY DOROTHY DUCAs

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 U.N.S0.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today
stepped out of her familiar role
Of school teacher, assumed for
one day, and hurried back to
Washington on the 10 o'clock
train.
She went to take up official
duties, including a speech this
afternoon at the Mobilization for
Human Needs conference there,
greatly refreshed by her brief
Teincarnation as a civics teacher
and lecturer to debutanteS.
Girls Puzzled
She left some 300 society girls
bordering and somewhat puzzled
over her solemn speech inaugu-
rating the Todhunter School
course in new activities of the
Government"
The girls, members Of the
Junior League and wealthy stu
dents at the school Mrs. Roose-
welt owns jointly with Miss
Marion Dickerman, were warned
If they did not help make new
world, the old one would crumble
because desperate people on the
land would "refuse to live that
way"
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
at was a group Of girls who
still have some money and
leisure. Their responsibility il
30 much greater to know what
Is going on and plan for the
future"
"They ought to know about
the rest Of the country. Uncle
Ted used to say he wished
every Congressman could visit
every State before he became
. Congressman. That's an
ideal-but it really would help
If girls could see other parts
of the country"
Farmers Cited
Mrs. Roosevelt'S apparent con.
Germ over the distress Of the
farmers and miners, whose pow.
erty she described wildly to the
fur-coated young women Of the
class, brought the question: "Why
don't they protest more?" She
said:
"WOuld you? If you had moth.
ing and saw the chance Of
eating soTne&hinR. however
small"

HYP0-NEEDLE.
BABY CALLED
IMPOSSIBLE
Physicians Scott at Claims
Of DR.. budding Who Expects
Daughter Oct. is

Washington physicians and
gynecologists today scoffed at
the "prenatal announcement"
of DR.. Earl Ellicott budding,
we'll known in this city for
his prison relief work, that he
and Mrs. budding will become
the parents of the worlds first
chemical baby on October 16.
The baby will be a girl. Miss
Chemical budding, the announce
ment stated, and is the result of
more than 20 years study and
research into the subject in an
attempt to produce a child free
from criminal. traits, DR.. budding
said. -
Fluid infected
He explained that the child
was coficefVedf by injection, Of q
fluid he had made from tree leaves
into the blood stream of Mrs.
budding, and it is this statement
which local specialists claim to
be absurd.
Several well known Washing
ton gynecologists pointed out
that it would be impossible for
a woman to become the mother
of a child in this manner.
Artificial impregnation h a S
been successful, done in women,
they pointed out, but in these
cases no hypodermic needle IS
used and the injection is not
made in the blood stream.
The budding announcement
savors of a hoax, the doctors
said, as the manner in which DR..
budding claims it to have been
accomplished is scientifically I'M
possible.
DR.. budding insists however
that the fetation was made IN
the manner he claims and that
little chemical" will come into
this vale of tears as gift Of
science.
Aids Ex-COnvictS
budding has been W~lely'Known
for many years for his welfare
work among ex-convicts, work he
started when he himself was a
prisoner in the MoundSvllle Penl-
tentiary IN West Virginia.
He was convicted Of the fatal
shooting of his uncle in 1909,
despite his plea that he fired in
self-defense, and sentenced to five
years.
While in the prison he started
assisting others. ard on his re-
lease founded the Prisoners Re-
lief Society with headquarters
here. About a year ago Dr. Dud-
ding returned to his former home
in Huntington, w. Va.

NRA DECISION
.. ON QUESTION
|SSOUGHT
Manufacturers Want Equitable
Adjustment Idea Inter-
preted for Them
By international New. Service

A pay boost Of IA to 20
per cent in the hourly rate of
hundreds of thousands of fac
tory workers whose hours of
labor would be sharply cut
under the Presidents blanket
code was inferentially pro-
posed to the Recovery Admin
istration today by the National
Manufacturers Association.
The suggested plan of "equit-
able adjustment" of pay would, in
most cases, result in a decrease
in the weekly earnings of the
workers.
Interpretation Sought
The question was laid before
&he NRA in a request for a fur
ther Interpretation Of the "equit-
able adjustment" in pay for
workers necessary before manu-
facturerS can qualify under the
Presidents unemployment agree
ment.
In holding that employees above
the minimum wage level must re-
ceive an adjustment, the Recov-
cry Administration left the ad-
justment largely to the discretion
of the employers. with the right
Of review.
Examples of an reputable ad-
justment" in pay were submitted.
If a worker had been employed
40 hours in a factory and under
the Presidents code his hours
were cut to IS, he should receive
the same amount of money each
week, or an increase of IA per
cent, the Recovery Administra-
tion held.
Suggest "Fair Increase"
But if workers had been en-
ployed As to 60 hours, the same
Interpretation held, an employer
might not be able to stand an in
crease that would keep the weekly
wage the same. The employer
was to submit his idea of a fair
adjustment.
The Manufacturers Association
suggested that an increase of IA
to 20 per cent in the hourly rate
would be fair.
AS an example of this proposal,
it was pointed out that a worker
now laboring 81 hours a week at
40 cents an hour received $21.60
q week. If cut to 35 hours under
the Presidents code, he would re"
ceive $14 a week at the same
hourly rate.
An Equitable adjustment" the
association held, would be to in
crease the pay possibly 20 per cent
more an hour, yielding $3.50 for
a week.
Same Leeway Assured
The request for an interpreta-
ton was made to relieve manu-

EXCHANGE SHUT
BY TEAR GAS

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 G.N.S0.
Deadly gas fumes spreading over
the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange today forced directors
to order the exchange closed for
the remainder Of the day shortly
after noon.
First announcement stated that
a leak in an ammonia pipe was
the source of the gas, but after
a hasty investigation of the floor
ventilating system, it was indi-
Gated two tear gas bombs had
been thrown into an open pipe Of
the system.
The matter Immediately was
placed in the hands of the po-
lice.
More than 1000 persons were
routed from the exchange build
ing as all floors from the fifth
down were ordered closed.
Traders and exchange special
lists angrily, but willingly, left
their posts on the floor to flee
the acrid fumes. They choked
and their eyes burned from the
effects of the gas.

COURTHOUSE, SALEM,
Mass, Aug. 4 G.N.S.).-Flar-
ing back at District Attorney
Hugh A. Gregg as he tried un-
successfully to break down her
story that she was innocent of
the poison death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Jessie B. Costello
today under cross-examination
recalled bringing William j.
Costello a drink of ginger ale
the February morning he died.
But she could not remember
where she left the glass.
The smiling widow" refused
point-blank to give the names Of
friends of the fire captain better
informed about his ailments than
Edward j. Mcmahon, so-called

Of Peabody.
Under a sharp grilling by
Gregg, Jessie finally admitted she
had not been on speaking terms
with her father, Andrew Fyfe, for
merly of Yonkers, N. Y.
"She Wouldn't Say"
Again Jessie denied Mcmahon
was the "most familiar man" in
her life outside her husband.
Jessie's reply Of II wouldn't say'
was used extensively, especially
when the prosecutor asked her
whether she thought it "a good
thing or not" that her husband
was taken by death.
Gregg wanted to know II the
widow knew any reason why she
was not the beneficiary of insur-
ance policies and of the firemen's
relief benefit. She said she did.
"You were surprised to find
you were not the beneficiary"
"NO."
"You expected you would be,

eyes and no."
Jessie admitted her aged father
in-law was the beneficiary, but
declared she was not surprised.
She refused to disclose the
reason why she was not named
beneficiary.
Nothing Of POiSOnS
Gregg continued to hammer
away at poisons today. Jessie as
serted she never heard Of the quick
effect of cyanide.
did you ever hear Of any
body dying from pOiSOn?"
'NOt till my own husband
died: I'd heard about cases; but
1 didn't know the details"
Jessie said she may have"
heard of persons dying from
cyanid poisoning but she did not
pay any attention to it.
The widow agreed her husband
had medicine in the house, and
that she did not get it for him

TIP SAYS JETT

Anonymous Phone Call Starts
New Hunt for Friends
Of Slain Youth

Wilmer Lee Jett, %, of the
1900 block of North Capitol
St., who was found dead on
the tracks Of the Glen Echo
car line, Monday night, "was
running around with blonde
and her boy friend was jeal-
ous."
This was told the Jett family
over the telephone yesterday by a
man who withheld his identity.
Victims Friends Sought
Montgomery county and Wash
ington police are working trying
to find some friend who saw him
leave or who knew where he was
going the night he was taken
away in an automobile by four
women. They feel handicapped,
knowing that married women in
the party. who might be able to
tell what happened, will hold
back rather than risk marital
trouble.
While most of the police are
convinced Jett was murdered, one
of the searching party thought it
strange that his body should be
carried all the way to the track,
when it would be much easier to
throw it in the bushes.
Pockets Turned Out
If killed near one of the cot
tages near the Conduit Road,
he would have to have been car
ried up a long flight of steps
before the road could be reached.
A car passed in the opposite di-
rection a few moments before one
going to Washington struck his
body, which was covered by
newspapers, and dragged it sew
eral feet.
Police last night revealed that
every pocket in his clothing had
been turned inside out with the
exception of one, in which they
found four quarters. 1t is
thought likely that the murderer
was searching for pictures or
letters Jett had received from a
woman and had shown.
