Marriage Proposal

For Young Woman
Cab Driver Announces
Plan After Hearing in
Police Court.

"The gentlemanly proposal Of Mr..
Wicks," as Judge Gus A. Schuldt put
1t, at least postponed sentence of
comely Helen Yates, %, in Police Court
yesterday on charges of intoxication and
carrying a concealed weapon.
The proposal of Howard B. Wicks, q

was marriage. Wicks made it as the
court was about to pass sentence.
The court took Wicks' offer under
Amusement and committed Miss Yates
to Gallinger Hospital The case was
continued until October 4, when Judge
Schuldt said he would pass upon Wicks
proposal.
Traffic Officer H. H. Hartman testified
he had found Miss Yates on Canal
road In q daZed, semi-conscious condi-
ton. He arrested her after finding a
pistol half-concealed In her pocketbook
She was going to shoot rats on her
canal household" she told the police
man. Other witnesses said she had
taken the gun from a man for whom
she used to keep house. He was not
inclined to prosecute, however, so the
only charges preferred were carrying
a concealed weapon and intoxication.

BALTIMORE milk
PROBE RESUMED
Special Counsel Returns to
Press Inquiry-NeW D. C.
Price Scale Reported.

Elwood H. Seal. special counsel for
the Senate Milk Investigating Commit
tee, returned to Baltimore today to re-
sumo his inquiry into the milk situa-
ton there.
Before leaving, Seal said he had
learned that the Maryland Virginia
Milk Producers Association, whose
members provide Washington with
about 80 per cent Of its milk supply, is
considering q new price scale that
would give the dairy farmers or 4
cents more a gallon than they now re-
ceive.
Hearings before the Senate Milk
Committee, Seal said, showed that the
producers were not getting a fair price
for milk in view of the profits of the
distributors. Testimony indicated that
the farmers, generally. were in poor
financial condition, and that some had
received less than the cost Of produc-
ton.
See Protest by Consumers.
According to reports, the increase in
price to dairy farmers would be in
tended to be absorbed by the local dis
tributors. Observers point out that if
a move should be made by distributors
to pass such an increase along to the
oAoi1AldtC SOIlouIIleIS llleIe WOulQ De al
immediate and strong public protest
Farmers now receive 26 cents a GAL
Ion for basic" milk, but considerably
lower rates for additional supplies which
are known as surplus" milk The av-
erage payments to farmers are said to
be about ID cents gallon.
One official in the milk industry in
this region who will be consulted about
the contemplated increase in prices to
farmers Is I. w. Heaps, manager of the
Eastern States Milk Marketing Asso-
citation, to which the Maryland-Vir-
ginia Producers Association has as
signed its contracts for milk produced
by members of the latter body.
Farmers Sought Change.
The report of the contemplated in
crease in the prices to be paid dairy
farmers came as an aftermath of an
nouncement that farmers In Virginia
and Maryland sections were planning
formation of protective" committees
with the purpose of seeking a change
in management policies of the Mary
land-Virginia Producers Association.
Farmers in Fairfax and Loudoun
Counties. Va. are scheduled to meet
tomorrow night to act for formation
of such groups within the association.
This group, it is reported, plans to CO.
operate with a similar group formed
this week by farmers in Montgomery
County.

RETAIL CODE READY
FOR GEN. JOHNSON.
Pact Fixes 10 Pct. Above
Wholesale as Minimum Sell
L ing Rate in Stores.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A finally revised draft of the basic re-
tail trade code, believed by officials to
afford protection both to the consumer
and the small merchant, was to 60 to-
day to Hugh S. Johnson. N. r. A. adj
ministrator, for his analysis before
submission to President Roosevelt.
Johnson, who has had a tentative
version of the code on his desk for sew
eral days, said he had not been able to
give it his attention, in view of the
pressing coal problem. He said he be-
lieved it would be a week before the
agreement could be sent to the White
House.
Price Control Secondary.
The Inter-departmental Price Com
mittee, recently named to investigate the
effect Of the N. r. A. upon prices, he
said, would not concentrate on the ques-
ton of price control, which is the para
mount issue in the retail compact.
This code establishes 10 per cent
above wholesale cost as the minimum
price at which retailer may sell goods
and also has 81 per cent discount limit
on trade marked drugs and toilet articles
whose retail price is fixed by the manu-
facturer
An lQea unQer consideration at the
N. R. A. today was that non govern
mental board of impartial, prominent
citizens be appointed to observe opera
tons Of the price control provisions and
determine whether the new experiment
is in the public interest. AS now drawn
however, the code contains no provision
for limiting operation of price control to
q trial
NouIH II;S 7 S>~-
AS seen by some officials, the mini
mum price limit actually should result
in lower average prices to the con-
sumner than the present unregulated
system. The price control would elm
mate the practice of many chain and
cut-rate establishments of advertising
'loSs leader" items, which are a few
selected, well known articles sold at
actual loss to attract customers into the
store to purchase other goods sold at a
considerable profit
The practice has been under ex-
tended study by the Trade Commission
under a Senate investigating resolution
Under the proposed regulation stores
would not be able to sell any article at
a loss and, therefore, officials figure
such establishments would have to keep
all prices down to minimum profit to
attract trade
The master code excludes drug stores
which are to come under an almost
identical separate agreement. However,
drugs sold by general stores will be
specifically regulated in the general
compact.

avoid monetary imitation, ex- Cept, perhaps, as a last resort.
 And isn't it passing strange that these same high priests of finance themselves refuse to help expand credit by extend ing loans to business, except upon terms that few businesse } can meet, and excuse them selves on the plea that they must protect" their deposit ors?
 They were not so careful about protecting their deposit ors when it came to selling them foreign bonds of doubt full value but on which they, themselves made a nice fat profit.
 Obviously unwilling to do any initiating of credit them selves, they evidently expect the government to do it. But we will bet our suspenders they have a scheme fixed up to make Uncle Sam pay them for letting him do it.
 And he probably will do it without murmur, for Uncle is still so blind to the ways of the money sharks that he does not object to making the nat ions money and then paying interest to the bankers for let ting him use it. In that way only, so the bankers tell him, can he keep his own credit good.

Chemicals In Warfare

The next war, if one should unhappily involve the great nations, will be fought largely with chemicals, according to many who have given study to the development of deadly gas es which will be available for military purposes.
 A recent publication said to be of authoritative authorship declares that while 30 asphyx- iating gases were known at the beginning of the World War, there are now more than 1 1000, including many varieties of "blistering gases, choking gas es, coughing gases, sneezing gases, vomiting gases, tear gases and suffocating smoke"
 Fumes heavier than air might be spread over wide areas, where they will finger for days killing everything within their deadly embrace. By means of such gases dropped from air. planes whole cities might be wiped out in short order.
 A recent writer sees in these horrible possibilities a hope for peace, on the theory that in fu- ture statesmen who consider resorting to war will be re- strained from doing so by the certain knowledge that these awful means of destruction would be brought into play to destroy women and children as we'll as fighting men.
 That these means would be used, in spite of all the treat ies that might be made, can not be doubted. Necessity has no law" and this is especially true, of necessity in time of war. Therefore, a great na- ton which goes to war in fu- ture must be willing to sub- ject it's entire population to the risk of wholesale slaughter, if not extermination.

The l9Z4 development pro- gram of the Daly Alaska is already we'll under way. The number of men employed has been increased to nine and new track is being taken up for the long tunnel.
 Pat. Daly plans to take in supplies over the snow to the Ibex and Homestake proper ties, which he and c. D. Carter recently bonded to the Day in- terests of Idaho. Daly plans to put into effect an ambitious development program as soon as the snow goes.
 Work on the No. 3 tunnel at the Indian mine is making good progress. The purpose of this is to cut at an additional depth of 210 feet the No. 5 and No. 6 ore bodies opened in No. 1 tun- nel, which it is expected will be encountered 600 feet from the portal, and will give a yer tical depth of 500 on the ore.
 Work on the Riverside has produced satisfactory results during the winter. Develop ment work underground totals over 4,000 feet, including drifting, sinking and crosscut- ting. This has opened up two substantial ore bodies and proved considerable ore, with backs of over 400 feet. Six teen men have been employed steadily throughout the winter.
