 Among the first to express re- gret upon learning of the death of Pilot Young was his friend, Capt. Frank M Hawkes., transcon- tinental speed ace and nationally known airman. Capt. Hawkes. said: q am deeply grieved to learn of the death of Pilot Young. I have known him for many years and have considered him one of the best in the field of aviation.

 Refusals Bring Violence
 Take the case of friend of mine who owns a business build ing on Fifth Avenue. Recently he improved 1t with an elaborate front. A man called to ask him to join a protective association at $15 a week. My friend refused. The next day the windows were broken. He was insured and the winodws were replaced. Again they were broken. The insurance company refused to renew, and now he has to pay the $15 weekly tribute.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The -Bradstreet, Inc. review today said: "Overshadowing other trade news of the week were the re- ports of strong resumption of the consumer buying, perceptible re- tardation of industrial downward trend and the clarification of meth ods and procedure under various codes which brought greater free dom for progressive industrial di- visions.
 While the absence of rain was unreasonable, warm temperatures permitted covering autumn re- quirements.

ROY NASH HERE

 GOVT. OFFICIALS
Department of Interior Man on Way South Alter
 Studying Reindeer

Alaska is a most interesting country, and I have enjoyed every moment I have spent in it. de- clarad Roy Nash, Special Agent of Divisional Investigations for the Department of the Interior, whc arrived in Juneau on the steamer Northwestern last evening from the Westward, to confer with Gov John w. Troy and other govern ment officials before continuing south.
 MT. Nash has spent nearly three months investigating the reindeer industry in Alaska from every pos sible angle and has covered thou sands of miles by airplane and steamer in the course of his work this summer.
 After spending ten days in Nome during the roundup of the rein- deer during the month of July, MT Nash, with Lyman s. Brewster Reindeer Superintendent, went tc Nunivak Island on the U. 8 Coast Guard cutter Chelan, where an experiment has been carried on in crossing the reindeer with wild caribou bulls. The deer on this island are by far the finest in the Territory. MT. Nash said
 Goes to Kotzebue

 Only a partial list of business es affected include laundries,. dye cleaners, bakers coal, flour, ice roofing, garages, produce, ice cream meats, florists, window washers and moving pictures.
 The first step in a battle against these conditions is to en- large the force of federal inves- tigators, and then, second, to en- large their powers.
 Stink bombs can easily be met by prohibiting their manufacture.
 Further, I am in favor of writ ing into every code a clause mak- ing it an offense for merchant to pay tribute to the underworld.
 We can pass laws-and we will in the next Congress. But to be effective we must have an aroused public to back them up.
 But back of that we must con- centrate on the growing genera ton. Certainly there must be some relation between the figures on jail population and church at tendance
