Methods by which the Black
Diamond Steamship Corp. of New
York pried closely guarded secrets
from the United States Shipping
Board through the friendship" of
board member were drawn
from the corporations president
today by Senate Investigators.
j. E. Dockendorff, the president,
admitted secret instructions given
by the board to one of it's auditors
were obtained by his associates.
The instructions were for an
audit of the ASSasho Co., in Rot
terdam, Holland, a paper corp
grafton" organized by Docken-
dorff to serve as foreign agent for
American lines in which the ship
ping board was interested.
Jenkins Is Friend"
The friend" was identified as
j. Caldwell Jenkins, former vice
president of the Shipping Board
and now vice president of the
Black Diamond Corporation.
Dockendorff admitted his rise
to position as shipping magnate
was accomplished on a shoe
string" after he had gone virtu-
ally into bankruptcy as New
York exporter. With a capital
investment of less than $4,000
and ships purchased from the
Shipping Board, he became presi-
dent of three companies, one of
which, the Empire SteVedoring
Company, paid him an expense
account of $50,000 a year.
Revelations that paid propa-
gandists for the American Steam
ship Owners Association wrote
speeches to be delivered by such
notables as Gen. John j. Perish
ing and former Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce Julius Klein,
were revealed by the committee
investigating ocean and air mail
contracts.
Wrote Pershing Speech
The speech writing was under
direction of Thomas Shipp, Wash
ington publicity man, whom the
association paid $1,000 a month,
plus a $500 monthly expense &C
count, to furnish publicity. Shipp
testified:

prominent persons, including
General Pershing. My impress
sion is that the Pershing speech
was read at New York meet
ing, rather than delivered per-
SOnally by the general"
Ships activities included at
tempts to influence the tone of
Washington news dispatches when
the ship and air mail subsidies
were under fire in the Senate. He
also told how he had interviewed
editorial writer's in Washington
and Baltimore seeking support for
the ocean mail contracts.
R. G. Baker, of New York, sec
retary-treasurer of the associa-
ton, refused to turn over list of
campaign contributions to the Re
publican party in 1920, 1924 and
1928. Senator Black CD of Ala
bama, the committee chairman,
threatened to issue a subpoena for
Baker as a preliminary to posi-.
BILE action for contempt.

DAIRY SESSIONS

Problems Of the dairy industry
in relation to the administration

Approximately 1000 leaders Of

There seems to be some ground
for the opinion that the best
chances for appointments are
those of former Gov. Thomas
Campbell, of Arizona, who was un-
til recently president of the com
mission and a member of the COM
MISSIONS own staff.
Meanwhile the progress of the

multitude.
Joe Cronin, Goose Goslin, Dave

Swarmed out like bees from a
burning tree.
The bleachers had filled up at
l1:15, when the police drove all
further candidates for that hal
lowed location away from the en-
trance.
By the time the Washington
club came out for practice the
upper grandstand was three-quar-
terS filled. with the lower stand
and box seat patrons tagging a
bit in typical Jimmy Walker
fashion.
"Cross-up Strategy"
A tossing warm-up ensued,
Goslin lobbing 'em over to Har-
riS and Bluege. Nick Altrock
took his place on the tossing
line and eased a few over to
Buddy Myer, while AL Schacht
planted several hard ones in the
big mitt of Moe Berg, all of this
making no sense whatever.
The fans took it as bit of
cross-up strtegy to make the
Giants wonder what such queer
goings on might portend.
When Washington was ready
for batting practice, Man-o-War
Sam Rice was the first to bat
against Bobby Burke. Bob Boken,

Cliff Bolton and Buddy Myer

to the infield and trotting as
far as second to loosen their legs.
Next came Goose GoSlin, the
Wild Goose of the Potomac, who
bunted, Moe Berg throwing the
Goose out to Nick Altrock at
first in the mimic warfare. The
Griffs were not swinging nor
otherwise tipping off their true
batting stance nor proWeSs.
AL Schacht walked from the

fly to Bobby Boken, playing

to Giant fielding practice, the

average home owner received a
small cut also, but his was so puny
in comparison to the one given to
the income producing office build
ings that it was almost negligible.
The latest scheme foStered by the
swivel chan boys is to get the pub
lie behind a movement to abolish
ten fire houses and to lay off 100
firemen. To do this would mean a
savings of about cents on each
500 of taxable property or around
$1.25 annually for the average home
owner. 1t would mean a very sub
stantial saving, however, to the
large property holder because his
taxes are figured in the rents he
collects from his lucrative property
so that anything that he can save
by tax lodging is just that much
clear velvet.
To carry out this latest recon-
mendation of the various benign
brothers would mean an immediate
boost in insurance rates as the fire
underwriters demand certain
standard in regard to equipment
and personnel and to lower these
in any way will mean an increase
in rates so the little guy is bound
to get it no matter which way the
wind blows.

IF you ever get tired of the monotonous day.
by-day routine Of ordinary life, consider the
case OF Henry, the English laundry horse.
Henry spent his time hauling laundry
wagon about regular route, year in and year
out, and the other day he got fed up on it.
So when his owner unhitched him. he broke
away, dashed down to the seashore, plunged
into the English channel, and started swim
ming toward France.
His boss, unable to catch him, went home
and mourned the loss Of faithful worker.
Next morning he found Henry in his pasture
again: but when he went to harness him,
Henry broke loose once more, plunged into
the sea and started out for foreign parts a
second time.
This time he was caught and brought back
home, and now he's on the regular laundry
wagon route again.

give a good deal to know just what got into

tired of doing the same old stunt over and

ADVICE TO BANKERS

NEWSPAPER reporters don't often get the
chance to advise bankers on the proper
banking policy. But this is precisely what
happened at the recent convention of the In
vestment Bankers at Hot Springs, Va.
A number of metropolitan financial writer's
were invited to speak, and they lost little time
in telling the bankers that their main Job
right now is to restore public confidence. In
the past, they pointed out bankers have not
been entirely frank with the public; today, as
a result, the publics confidence in investment
bankers is one of those things you hear about,
but never see.
Before you can hope to persuade congress
to do the things you know ought to be DONE"
one writer told the bankers, you must restore
public confidence in investment banking You
must let the public know that you are anxious
to disavow some of the things done by some
members of your organization"
To which the men in the street doubtless
will say hearty Amen"

Body Heat Changes Not Serious

may be lowered by exposing the
body to drafts of air, which encour-
age rapid evaporation from the sur
face.
There is. also, heat loss by rapid
breathing. For example, fur-bearing
animals which do not perspire easily,
when they become hot, lie quietly
with the mouth open and the
tongue out, breathing rapidly.
This rapid breathing cools the
animal by passing from the body
large quantities Of watery vapor.
On the other hand, when there
are chills, the temperature of the
body may be sustained by wrap
ping the patient in blankets and by
applying hot water bottles to the
surface of the body.
The temperature Of the body is
an indicator of the greatest i'm
portance as to changes in function
ing Of tissues. It is for this reason
that development of the clinical
thermometer was one of the most
important contributions to the ad-
vance Of medical science.

A NATIONAL DANGER

CPEAKING on a National Education Asso-
~ citation program Interior Secretary Harold
Ickes declares that our schools ought to be
the last to feel the pinch of economy" and
warns that while some economies in the school
system are necessary, we already have gone a
bit too far along that road.
His warning is justified by the facts, and
it's one we all should listen to attentiveIy.
A democracy such as ours must stand or
fall, in the long run, by its system of educa-
ton. The intelligence of the nation, as Mr.
Ickes remarks, is nothing but the sum of the
intelligences of all it's citizens If the school
system which trains those intelligences suffers
a collapse, the ability of the nation to govern
itself properly inevitably will suffer likewise
We owe it to ourselves to keep the cur
tailment of our educational facilities at an
absolute minimum.

INSULT, BEARING GIFTS

At least Greece appreciates Samuel insult
The Greek appellate court has refused to ex-
tradite the Illinois utilities politician, wanted
in Chicago for violating the federal bank
ruptcy law.
And Mr.. insult appreciates Greece.
These Greek judges are ideal" he said on
hearing the verdict. II shall stay here the
remainder of my life and regard Greece as
my own country"
Our loss is Greece's gain, and We should
try to bear up. But perhaps Greece should
be cautioned against Mr.. insults offer to show
his gratitude too generously.
"I hope" he added that by some financial
combinations may be able to reciprocate the
hospitality of this small but great country.
The Greeks may fear an insult bearing
gifts.

If the thermometer is used rec
tally, the temperature is one degree
higher, and if it is placed under the
arm or in any other fold of the
skin, the temperature will be one
degree lower.
Whenever the temperature shows
decided rise above normal, it
usually is due to a disturbance of
the mechanism that controls the
heat of the body. A sudden fall,
also, is a dangerous sign. 1t is as
ISOLATED frequently with collapse.
High temperature, or fever, may
be lowered in many different ways.
Anything which will cause increased
perspiration, with evaporation of
fluid from the surface of the body,
will lower the temperature. There
are many drugs which have this
effect.
1t is possible to reduce the tenn
perature by sponging the surface
of the body with water, or the heat

IF you have a clinical, or body,
l. thermometer at home, don't try
to use it too often, or whenever you
think there's some change in the
temperature of some one in the
family.
Clinical thermometers are useful
instruments, of course, but the
basis for their operation should be
understood by those who use them.
There's no need of alarm if the
temperature of your body, or that of
your child, seems to vary slightly
from morning to evening.
But there is an important signifi-
canoe in changes of body tempera-
ture. Your body is an engine which
consumes fuel to supply energy.
Some fuels, or foods, develop more
heat than others-the carbohydrates
and the fats, for example.
In the process of fuel consump-
ton and energy production, the
body gets rid of excess heat by
perspiration, which permits cooling
Of the surface, and by breathing.
Ordinarily, the temperature of your
body remains at 98.6 degrees Fab
renheit, if it is taken in the mouth.
