It is the first picture to reach the screen with an optimis- tic thought for the current econ. omic problems.

 Here Is a production that should revive hope in a nation that has repeatedly weathered the economic storms to return in each instance a stronger and better nation than ever before. There Is mighty sweep to this picture that unfolds on the screen the romantic and commercial progress of the United States.

The Hadley Furniture company has brought a little bit of Colonial America into its exposition of home accessories that every Water burian should view to fully appre- ciate the possibilities of artistic home decoration.

WHISKEY POOL.
 TO SKYROCKET
 ALCOHOL STOCKS
Senate Market Probe Has the Matter Under the
 Closest Scrutiny
By LYLE C. WILSON Copyright, 1O33, by United Press


 Washington. Oct 2O-(UP)--Al- legged operation of n "whiskey pool' to slSyrocket alcohol stocks on the New York stock exchange was revealed to-day to be under investigation by the senate stock market committee.
 Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel, has been furnished Il re- port on examination of the alcohol share accounts of at least 99 mcM- bers of the stock exchange by Richard Whitney, president of the exchange. Whether charges of pool activities were borne out was not disclosed.
 The whiskey boom began last spring and continued until July of this year and it's investigation was revealed in connection with com- mittce's dispute with Whitney re- garding data on stock exchange transactions from october 1, 1929, to July 1, 1883. Whitney refused to circulate questionnaire which would give the public the first coni- plete information ever available on who and how many persons are gambling, speculating or trading and for how much and what 1t cost them.
 Whitney's refusal caused Pecora to summon members of the ex- change, intending in the course of time to bring all of them here.
 Appearance of the first nine Wall street brokers who were subpoenaed was scheduled to inter- rupt the Chase National bank in vestisation to day but the commit tee planned to resume the Chase inquiry later and begin Monday in- vestigation of Cuban loans which Winthrop W. Aldrich, head of the bank, suggested be passed over.
 Tho whiskey pool investigation was revealed in letter from Whit ney to Pecora dated October It, which said:
 "I am sending you under sep arate cover the report of the ac- countant of the exchange in regard to the alleged pool trading in the alcohol stocks during the spring and early summer of this year. This is now complete except for the report on one firm which will furnish you as soon as possi- ble."
 Another letter said the period under inquiry was from May 15, to July 24, and that examination of 90 member firms had been ordered.

NEA Service stan Correspondent
 Washington. oct 21.-The con quest of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is a heroic epic in the an- nais of the United States Public Health Service.
 Tn some communities death claimed up to 85 per cent of the fever's victims
 The U. s. P. H. s. lost six of the 75 men 1t assigned to wage that war between 1909 and 1880. Only the discovery and development of a serum saved many more lives and made Rocky Mountain Spot ted Fever a preventable disease.
 The chief surviving hero Is Dr Roscoe, R. Spencer.
 Spencer jabbed countless fever germs into himself to learn whether he had discovered the serum. He had. That was after many months of constant exposure to death from tick-bites in the re- mote Bitter Root Valley of west ern Montana.
 "A BLACK EPIDEMIC
 Spencer had always loved labor atory work. A Virginian, he was graduated from the Johns Hop- kins Medical school, in 1914, serv- ed with the navy in the war and was only 34 years old when they sent him to Bitter Root Valley.
 Ranchers and hunters again were dying of the spotted fever. They suddenly turned black and died. Doctors who had gone after the disease had died, too, among them Dr Thomas B. McCiintick of U. $. P. H. $. in 1912.
 Spencer moved to the valley with his wife and two children and established laboratory in an abandoned school house
 The valley people told him what little they knew. You died from spotted fever only when wood tick had bitten you. And you never caught 1t except on one slope and then only in certain canyons.
 One thing Spencer knew. All those ticks couldn't possibly be eradicated. t. ..
 But bushels of ticks were brought into the laboratory. Mashed and stewed. they were in- jected into guinea pigs. The guinea pigs stayed well.
 PROGRESS MADE
 Spencer pulled ticks off a noun tain goat, though his helpers point ed out to him that no mountain goat had ever had that fever. But those ticks, which had been filled with goat blood. were mashed up and injected. And this time the Guinea pigs died.
 Spencer soon found that a tick was equally fatal if full of guinea pig blood. He had been, experi- mcnting with dry. ungorged ticks.
 At about this time William Get tinger. laboratory assistant, be- came sick and went into delirium. He was soon dead of spotted fever.
 Spencer and T.. II. Parker, an cntomologist, went back to face death. They knew now how great was their danger.
 But they bred more thousands of ticks and took out heavy life insurance. They were scared all right. They would find ticks on each others clcthes-and one night Spencer found one on his baby. But all that winter and through the spring and summer they stayed there, wallowing in death. One club they had was that the few folks who recovered from the fever were immune thereafter. And they proved that any infected tick, once filled with any kind of Blood, became deadly.
 They nourished and bred hun dreds of thousands of ticks.
