 Washington.--Lots of people lost their jobs during the depression.
 Among them was Albert Fl. Wig gin, former chairman of the $2,- 50O,000,O0O Chase National bank and prize prince of international finance.
 The RockefelIers obtained stock control of Chase National in 1881, after which their Winthrop W. AL drich became the dominant boss and Wiggin's days obviously were numbered.
 Wiggin didn't like 1t much. He went out as chairman last Janu- ary and Aldrich succeeded him.
 The difference between MT Wig gins case and that of most other folks who lost their jobs was that Mir Wiggin was paid s1,000,000 by the bank during the depression and retired on a pension of S10O,- 900 a year.
 He still was one of the worlds smartest bankers. The Rockefeilers wanted to retain his good will and felt they might need his services in the future.
 Jolly old Soul
 Wiggin, answering Ferdinand Pecora's questions before the senate banking committee, was re- markably frank and honest about everything except the question of who actually had run the bank since 1890. He never did admit that 1t was AIdrfch. He didn't want to admit 1t.
 This behemoth of banking dur ing boom days is q jolly old soul He is fat and at the age of G2 his shoulders are rounded as If from many years of conferences. Alter nateIy he giggled, .chortled, or beetled his brows. He has gray hair and c 1noustache, large jow1s, hair parted in the middle.
 His profile makes you doubt the popular theory that young men with receding chfns never get very far in this world. (Wiggin was q minister's son who became bank clerk and eventually a director of dozens of our very. largest corpora tions and a member of sixteen 16i--cIubs.)
 His most impressive features are keen, shrcwd eyes and small hands, with thin, sensitive ffngers--not chubby, like the rest of Mir Wiggin.  4 Big Laugh Then

A TRAGEDY OF WILD PONIES
(New York Sum

After surviving winds and storms for generations, the 500 or 500 wild ponies of Virginia were practically wiped out by the trop- ical storm which recently swept the region. Only three of their number are left. The ponies were descendants of the Arab stock that the vessel bringing them from the Virginia coast over two cen- turtles ago. F
 Though the curtain thus de- scends upon the wild ponies, wild horses are still numerous in cer- tain states. on the ranges of eastern Oregon and Washington, Idaho, Nevada and northern Cali fornia, the animals are rounded
 up with the aid or airplanes. Across Q canyon through which e
 runway passes are strung heavy cables 50 as to from a corral. Then the horses, frightened by the roar of the plane as 1t swoops toward them, wheel to their run day and 50 to capture. From 75 to 150 wranglers are regularly employed in this new industry, and a number of free 1ances, ifi- ciudfng many Indians, earn spend ing nony, if not an entire living through it. From an equine point of view to be. rounded up by air- planes is bad enough, but crown ing indignity awaits the untamed steeds. A Portland company buys them and converts them into dog food here. Horse meat is eaten by the people of Asia and of some Eu. ropean countries, and this market is served in part from America.
 These horses, however, are de- | scendants of domestic horses thai escaped from their owners or were turned loose. The only truly wild l horse now in existence, is that known as Prejvalsky's horse. II Iwas named afte rthe Russian ex- plorer, to whom was presented. h I1S7e. the first specimen known to science.

isn'tso. The Dutch visited us in 1909 and l614 and built block houses and outposts for their protection against the Indiana. Adrian Blok explored the Connecticut river 60 miles north from it's mouth. From 1874 until 1833 there were Dutch vessels plying the river regularly. But after the English had made their settlement at Windsor quar- reling between them and the Dutch occurred. So much so that by 1854 the Dutch had been crowded out of their settlements along the river and the English were left free to eolonize the state which they proceeded to do. We doubt if there are any traces of Dutch civilization in the state today, but it might easily have predominated.

But there the menace is active. moving; can be seen and often avoided. Incompetently hand led fin a garage, an automobile is more deadly. For there the menace is unseen, unheard; when noticed cannot be fought. The latter weeks of this month each year gring the start of the open season on deaths from carbon m0noxidc.

Shrinking Trade

International trade figures continue to fall. Japan alone among important coun- tries shows good expansion this year. Great Britain had in the first six months a loss of 6.3 per cent from last year, France a loss of 10.o per cent the United States loss of 1o.o per cent and Germany loss of 404 per cent. Our own country has seen her favorable trade balance excess of ex- ports over imports -- falling below zero for the first time in this century. The latest figures show France in still worse plight commercially. with trade deficit mounting at the rate of $60,000,000 a months.
 France attributes this loss of exports to America and Britain going off the gold standard. She says she cannot sell in compe- tition with our cheap money and eorre- spondingly cheap prices in the world market. But that explanation isn't convincing. Why hasn't our cheaper dollar helped us more' And the same with Britain's cheap pound? It is hard to escape the conclusion that France is paying the penalty for her leader ship in the reckless tariff, quota and embargo game against foreign trade, and that the rest of the nations, including our own, have suf- fered for the same reason. There have been other reasons. But the lesson is driven home more and more powerfully that nations re- fusing to buy abroad cannot hope to sell abroad.

Berlin Letter
BY HAROLD A. PETERS (nlted Press Stan COrrcspoudent)

 BerIin-A radical dcparture from the traditional agricultural land inheritance system has been introduced by the German govern ment through its federal "erbho- fechr law of Sept zS.
 The purporter aim of this law is to create q bond between farmer and soil by guaranteeing him the integrity of his homestead.
 In essence the "Erbhofrecht" law provides that landed property under cultivation must be entailed undivided to one heir only. There are to be no co-heirs to share in the inheritance.
 No Land for CO-hefrs
 As the estate is indeyfdayIe, co. heirs will receive no 1and. Nor will they receive monetary cornpensa- ton if this would saddle the farm with additional, debts. That ts to say, while they may get-their share in ready cash available, they will not get a lien, or a mortgage on the fatherIy farm.
 All they are entitled to Is board and food, and an "adequatc" edu. cation when they are young, and q refuge at the family farm if in need later in life.
 Tn itself the idea of undivided entailment of farms is not new in Gefmany. In fact, 1t has been the practice in various parts of the country for centuries.
 Homestead for Youngest Son
 Thus, in the agricultural parts Of Westfaiia, especially in the Muens- | ter and Ospabiueck region, 1t has been the custom to bequeath the homestead to the yotfngest son oi the family. In other parts, chiehy in northern and middle Germany as well as in silesia, 1t was tradi- ton that the eldest son inherit tho family farm.
 in some instances these customs and traditions orogfnated from laws which, however, long since have been rescinded.
 Where, however, the inheritanct system of agrfcultural-land hal been based on undivided entail. ment to one heir only, the co-heir' have been entitled to their shart in the inheritance. As farmer' IrareIy leave big fortunes in readS leash, the co-heirs' titles usuall, weer satisfied b yeither Hens ol omrtgages; procedure whicf neccssaritly made for an increased indebtedness of the homestead.
