DREATHEs there man ( or lady,
cither) with soul SO dead that he
can look at the aughing bubbles
of a tall drink made with Canada
Dry and not catch some of the
laughter? Or see the sparkle in its
depths and not feel gayer?
Certainly, there must be magic in
Canada Dry. 1t doesn't merely mix
>. it blends!
Perhaps it's because of the pure
Jamaica ginger we use 3. or again
because of the charming flavor.
Perhaps it's because of its purity.
But the fact remains that long, tall
drink can never really be long,
tall drink unless it's made with The
Champagne of Ginger Ales.
And you'd have long search to
find beverage that's so good all BY
itself! And so cool and refreshing!

National City Co. Head Says
$5,000,000 Peruvians At
$96.50 Dropped to $40

The National City Company,
affiliate of the National City
Bank of New York, took part
in the flotation of $15, 100000
of Peruvian bonds in 1927 in
spite Of earlier advices Of it's
South American experts that
such securities were "bad
risks,'' the Senate stock mar
ket inquiry developed today.
With Hugh B. Baker, president
of the National City Co., on the
stand, Ferdinand Pecora, commit
tee counsel, developed that the
National City Co., after a meeting
of it's executive officers, approved
the company's participation in the
flotation to the extent of hand
ling $4,000, 900 worth of the bonds.
They were then sold at $3.50
with the company and its asso-
ciates in the complete issue taking
five point spread as profit.
Today the bonds are quoted at
about ten," Baker said.
Told Conditions Bad"
Still another note was cited,
written to a Mr.. Cosby, National
City official, May 8, 1928, from
"E. A. K" declaring conditions
were bad in Peru, and credits un-
favorable. Baker said 'E. A. K"
was E. A. Kircher, an employe of
the National City Co., South
American department.
Pecora cited letter after letter
from the company's South Amer
ican experts to the effect that
Peruvian securities were bad
risks" He noted one cable from
Victor Schoepperle, then the COM
pany's representative in London,
now vice president of the National
City Bank, sent in 1923 to the
effect that a number of earlier
Peruvian issues had defaulted.
Baker declared that all of these
notations and advices had been
taken in consideration in 1927
before the National City Com
pany approved the Peru issue.
Identifies Himself
Another notation was made by
C. N. Bishop, of the company's
foreign department, on July IL,
1923, and advised National City
Company officials of "flagrant
disregard" of the obligations by
Peru.

PHYSICIANS
SAY CERMAK
IS SINKING
Oxygen Tent Useless As He
Clasps for Air; Suffers
8 Serious MaIadieS

MIAMI, Feb. 27 G.NS),
Mayor Cermak has been slip
ping slowly but progressively
since Saturday. it was said
today by DR.. Walter Vile Ham
burger, of Chicago, noted heart
specialist.
The physician said the steady
climb in the Mayors respiration
was alarming" and dangerous" :"
The Mayor, he added, is breath,
ing in gasps" and the oxygen
tent sis not accomplishing its
purpose"
Cermak'S respiration went to
the unprecedented mark of 40
today as he battled the ravageS
of his latest complication-pneu'
paonia.
40 Is Dangerous Mark
The following bulletin was
issued at 10:45 a. M:
"Mayor Cermak's condition
continues unchanged during
the past IL hours. After 2 a.
m. he had a restful sleep.
His mental condition is clear
and uncIOuded. Temperature,
1O1, pulse, 1913, respiration, 49,"
The highest previous respira,
tory mark was 36. It had been
said by the physicians that 40
would be a dangerous" mark.
They explained its presence after
reading the bulletin by saying:
"It indicates that more work
Is being thrown on the balance
of the lung. This balances the
nOn-functiOning consolidated
area of the lung"
The doctors, Frederick Tice,
Karl A. Meyers, Walter Ham
burger, and Frank Jirka of Chi
cago, and j. r. Snyder, E. Ster-
ling Nichols, and T. w. Hutson of
Miami, said they had not ex-
amined the lung to determine if
the area of pneumonia had in
creased.
More Injections
They also ascribed the higher
respiration to frequent changes
in the mayors position in bed.
This is done in an attempt to
prevent spread of pneumonia.
Immediately after they read the
bulletin the physicians began to
give Cermak an injection of
glucose fluid. They doubted that
they would give him another blood

LONDON, Feb. q I.N.S).
The British government has de-
cided to lay an embargo on the
expectation Of arms to both
China and Japan, Sir John
Simon, foreign secretary, an
nounced in the House of Com
mons this afternoon.
The announcement was made
in the course of a general debate
on the Far Eastern situation ana
followed a demand by George
Lansbury, leader of the Labor OPP
position, that such action should
be taken. Simon said:
"The government has de-
cided, as from today and pend
ing the opportunity for inter.
national consultation and deci-
sion, that it would not author.
I ize the issue of licenses for ex.
port to either China or Japan
of any of the articles men,
toned in the arms export pro-
hibitiOn order of 1881"
u. S. CONSULTED
The government already had
made known it was in consulta-
ton with the United States on
the question of an arms embargo
while the present conflict con-
tinues in the Far East and had
declared such a step would be
Intellectual unless America Joined.
Hence Sir Johns announce
ment was generally interpreted
to mean that Washington, too,
looked with favor on an embargo.
The foreign secretary reviewed
the Far Eastern controversy at
length.
Backs Lytton Report
He supported the Lytton report,
which condemned Japan's activi-
ties in Manchuria, and told Com.
mons the methods adopted by
Japan we're not in accordance
with the League Covenant. He
added:
''It is perfectly natural that
demand should arise for ac-
tiOn to prevent sustaining, f0S-
tering, and fOmenting this con-
flict by a supply of arms.
However, a little cOnsidera-
ton will show that this can
only be stopped effectively by
international agreement"

BAKER FOLLOWS
MITCHELL OUT

NEW YORK, Feb. 27 G.N.S0
Hugh B. Baker, president of the
National City Company, resigned
today.
Bakers resignation was an
nounced shortly after James H.
Perkins had been chosen as the
successor of Charles E. Mitchell,
who resigned last night as chair
man of the National City Bank
of New York, the second largest
bank in the world.
Perkins, president of the City
Bank Farmers Trust Company,
was selected to succeed Mitchell
at special meeting of the board
of directors of the National City
Bank today.
Bakers resignation was an
nounced at virtually the moment
when Baker resumed the witness
stand before the Senate Commit
tee on Banking and Currency in
Washington today. The an
nouncement was made at the
regular weekly meeting of the
National City Company.
The National City Company is
one of the affiliates of the Ma
tional City Bank.
Both Mitchell and Baker testi-
fled last week before the Senate
Banking Committee. In resign
ing Mitchell said he was not
willing that the criticism which
had been directed at him as a
result of his testimony should re-
act on the National City Bank
on his account.

BIG NAVY
Other .Appointee Has Known
President-EIect 20 Years;
Chicago Lawyer

HYDE PARK. n. Y, Feb. q
(I.N.S.).- Senator Claude A.
Swanson of Virginia will be
Secretary of the Navy and
Harold Ickes, Chicago lawyer,
will be Secretary of Interior in
the new cabinet, President-elect
Roosevelt announced formally
today.
Selection of the two men came
as no particular surprise. Their
appointments had been forecast
for some days.
Why He Picked Them
Asked why he had determined
upon Swanson and Ickes for his
official family. Mr.. Roosevelt
smiled and replied:
Because like the cut Of
their jibs."
Swanson has long been the
ranking Democrat on the Senate
Naval Committee, and during the
latter part of the Wilson admin
istration was chairman. He is
known widely as a Big Navy"
man.
Under President Hoover, he
has been one of the American dele
gates to the arms conference. No
decision. has been MADE yet
whether he will continue in this
capacity, but it was regarded
doubtful.
Swanson also is ranking Demo
cratic member of the Foreign Re
1ations Committee.
IckeS Progressive
Ickes has been identified for
years as Progressive Republican.
In 1920, he managed the unsuc-
cessful campaign of Senator Hiram
. johnson RD of California for
the Presidential nomination.
Since, he has been active in
Illinois politics, sponsoring prog
ressive movements.
The Chicagoan is a lawyer by
profession, but according to the
President-elect, knows the coun-
try and will be we'll qualified
to handle the affairs that come
under the Interior Department.
Mr.. Roosevelt has known Ickes
for about 20 years.

bill and will submit it to the full
committee this afternoon, which
in turn probably will report it

In view of the many changes,

likely that there will be bitter
