JOHNSON SPEECH DEFERRED A. F. L. STRATEGY FNNTE[
Mayor ArOuses
Falls Church
Anger

The feud that has been stirring
the otherwise calm and peaceful
village of Falls Church, Va, is ex-
pected to culminate next Friday
night when the Mayors court is
held in the town hall.
For the staid citizenry are riS-
ing in wrath against what they
brand the "officiouSneSS" of Town
Sergeant Alton Shumate and
Mayor L. P. Daniel.
The Goals of revolt flared up at
the weekend court when the
mayor, who also acts as judge,
ordered Meyer Copeland arrested
for contempt of court, then in
structed the assembled citizenry
to go home and go to bed.
Copeland's arrest was ordered
when he was asked if he had
joined the town police depart
ment. and responded:
mo, I'm pretty particular
what / jOin."
The mayor-judge, irate, order
ed the court cleared and the as
Sembled citizens home. They dis
obeyed, parading the streets to an
hour much later than their ordin-
ary bed time.
So now. they are wondering If
the whole town will be found
guilty of contempt.

D. {. '35 BUDGET
100000

The District Commissioners
have given final approval to esti-
mates for the District budget for
the fiscal year 1885 and it will be
sent to the Budget Bureau
Wednesday or Thursday it was
learned at the District Building
today.
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer,
president of the Board of Com
missioners, said some few changes
were made in the estimates pre-
pared by the economy committee,
but he refused to reveal them.
The budget is understood to
provide for a total appropriation
of approximately $36, 700 900, which
is about $3,70O,000 in excess of
the appropriation for the current
fiscal year.
The increase is largely due to
the fact that, in preparing the
estimates, District officials pre-
pared for payment of full sal
aries to employees of the District,
indicating an expectation that
the 15-per-cent salary cuts will
be restored by the beginning Of a
new fiscal year.
The budget will carry appro-
priations for additions to the Deal
and Brown Junior High Schools
and for new gymnasium at
Powell Junior High, it is under
stood. Items also are included for
completion Of the Anacostia and
Wilson High Schools and the con-
tagious disease ward at Gallinger
Hospital.

NRAPUTSSPURS

CAMPAIGN
Textile Spokesman Agrees
Upturn Is Under Way;
Bargain Prices Now
BY International News Service

The NRA's "Now-Is,the- -Time.to
Buy" campaign began today
throughout the nation.
Hundreds of national and thou.
sands of local advertisers took
increased space in newspapers to
announce the NRA conviction
that buying now is both wise for
consumers and necessary for con-
tinuance of the recovery pro-
grams effect on business revival.
The ads emphasize the NRA's
contention that prices are going
higher at the beginning of next
year or sooner, as a result of in.
creased production and diStribu-
ton costs forced by operation
under permanent codes of fair
competition.
Bargain Prices Now
Unemployment and augmented
payrollS in most industries have
vastly increased the public's pur-
chasing power, and while there
Is still time the public should
purchase goods at the bargain
prices which will prevail for
time longer.
Hundreds of merchants and
manufacturers over the weekend
assured Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson they were CO.

break the depression. All
pledged the maintenance of fair
prices throughout the buy-now

ters obtained by former slum-
dwellers would be smaller, If the
same rent was paid.
The exodus from the slums con-
sequently would force all city
dwellers to transfer at every rent
ing season to better and better
quarters, thus affecting their
social attitudes profoundly.
Voluntary reduction of building
material prices and the wages of
labor, Of course, would be a sharp
departure in NRA tactics, which
in every other case of a code have
sought increases in both wages
and prices.
The cleanup of the real estate

Grille FORESEES
LONGER LIFE,
SUPER-RACE
Tells Physicians at World Fair
Their Future Job Is Regu-
Iation of Human Body

CHICAGO. Oct. 9 GN.S).-Ul-
innate control of infectious dis
ease and extension of life expec-
fancy to II years within the next
century was promised to mankind
today at the American College Of
Surgeons convention opening at
the Worlds Fair.
Through the scientific progress
of medicine and penetration into
the mysteries of protoplasm" will
came a super race of men made
equal in body. mind and energy,
according to DR.. George Grille.
Cleveland surgeon.
Regulating Energy
The chemist-physiciaR of future
decades will be able to control the
human mechanism. both physical
and nervous, in much the same
manner as an engineer controls
an internal combustion engine"
Physicians Of the future will
be able to detect and overcome
diseases before the patient be-
comes aware Of them, DR.. Grille
declared.
The doctor will be able to regu-
late any desired level Of nervous
and physical energy, controlling
the growth Of the body and de-
velopment Of the mind. He said:
"He will acquire such know
ledge Of biO-chemical and bio
physical processes that he will
be able to guide his fellow men
as an engineer Of living
processes"
MANY CURES LOOM
The surgeon predicted that
tuberculosis, diabetes, diseases of
the heart and kidneys. and high
blood pressure would be con.
quered but that nervous ailments
and cancer would survive.
He explained:
"The nature of cancer will
eventually be revealed. but it
will still claim many victims"
And the secret of this envi-
stoned control rests with the prog
ress science makes in tearing aside
the mysteries of protoplasm. He
said:
e'Tt is known that the phe-
nOmena of life are only the phe-
nOmena Of energy and that
things purely physical and chem
cal rule the body. It is only to
discover what form of energy
endOwS protOplasm with its
power Of growth and function"
PrOtOplaSm, the Key
Through an exact understand
ing of the protplasm. he suggested,
accurate conceptions of the state
of a patients health may be
gained.
The relative percentages Of the
different parts of the spectrum
emitted by different parts of the
body can be measured.

for New York lob
BY international News Service

The possible retirement Of
Ferdinand Pecora as special coun.
sci in the Senate Wall Street in
quiry-if he should be elected
district attorney of New York
county next month-Served TO-
day to redouble the determination
of Senate progressives to COM
plete thorough investigation Of

Pecora, if he is elected, will
retire from the inquiry before
January /. In the meantime, he
will file a program Of legislation
designed to increase the Federal
protection Of the public.
Stock Exchange Reform
He said this program would in
clude a series of reforms on the
stock exchanges which would
tend to block manipulation Of
prices and other practices which
have cost the public hundreds Of
millions Of dollars.
Members Of the Senate Bank
ing and Currency Committee. in
charge of the inquiry, were re-
luctant to lose the services Of
Pecora. In spite of a few clashes
with Senator Glass CD Of Vir-
ginia, Pecora won the confidence
and support of both Republican
and Democratic Senators.
They approved his decision to
enter the New York campaign
but insisted he continue with his
duties as special counsel Of the
inquiry until the moment when
and if he becomes District At
torney.
Quiz to Be Completed
Committee members agreed
with Senator Costigan CD of
Colorado that "Pecora's with
drawal will have the effect Of
deepening the determination of
the controlling votes on the COM
mittee to continue to press the
investigation without fear or
favor and with commanding
thcroughness."
Senator Fletcher CD Of
Florida, committee chairman,
added that "a new counsel will
be employed, If necessary to COM
plete the inquiry"

morrow with a further inquiry
into the management of two in
vestment trusts created by the

Tree Windbreak Saves
Soil Blowing Damage

Severe damage to farm lands by
strong winds that sweep great guam
titles of valuable top soil from fields
may be materially reduced by planting
windbfeaks of trees, or by early spring
or fall listing.
Planting cross. windbreaks of one or
two rows of trees at Quarter-mile in
tervals at right angles to prevailing
winds is suggested by Fred r. John
son. regional forest inspector of the
forest service in Denver. and State
Forester w. ]. Morrill, at the Colorado
agricultural college.
Such windbreaks would be in addi-
ton to shelterbelts around farm build
ings. Cross windbreaks at quarter
mile intervals would furnish protec-
ton against soil blowing for dis
lance Of about ten times the height Of
the trees on the windward side and
about Is to 20 times on the leeward
side. investigations have shown. AS
the trees grow taller they would pro-
vide protection for gradually increas-
ing areas.

Buckwheat~ Mids for Pigs

In studies looking for good protein
supplement for pigs, Longwell Of the
West Virginia station found that buck
wheat middlings have proved equal to
or slightly better than linseed meal
and cottonseed meal. Protein supple
ment mixtures consisting of two parts
tankage. one part linseed meal, and
one part alfalfa meal; the same pro-
portions of tanlSage, cottonseed meal,
and alfalfa meal; and tankage, buck
wheat middlings. and alfalfa meal,
have all given excellent results when
fed as supplements to corn. Equally
good results followed the replacing of
tankage with fishmeal. But those mix
lures containing buckwheat middlings
resulted in more rapid gains and re-
quired less feed to produce gains.

Dutch Hog Control

An example of an attempt to control
production by law is reported from
Holland. An emergency hog act was
passed last July. Its purpose is to
maintain domestic hog prices at lev
ell that will represent at least the cost
of production. The act Is now in eff
feet. A tax is levied on practically all
hogs slaughtered in the Netherlands, to
support a sterilization fund. Hogs
killed for consumption by the owner
may likewise be taxed.
An import duty is imposed on all
hogs and hog products brought into
the country. An organization engaged
in the hog industry has exclusive mo-
nopoly on hog exports, which include
one third or more of the total produc-
ton of pork.-Indiana Farmers Guide.

Post Timber

Many farmers in the Ohio valley,
looking for supplies of fence posts at
less cost, are asking the state agricul-
tural colleges about the best species of
tres to plant, according to the United
States forest service. Farmers are
showing unusual interest in preserving
and developing farm woodlands to
maintain supplies of lumber, fuel, and
posts for farm use, and in this way
keeping down the cash outlay for these
materials. Among the species recon-
mended for planting for post timber
are black locust, mulberry, Usage or
ange, and red cedar.

from the farmer. which is one reason
for the increase in the number of
roadside markets. Another reason Is
that wholesale prices to farmers have
been so much lower than retail prices
that farmers have made money from
direct selling. However, the best way
to discourage buyers is to charge I'M
reasonable prices. It is unwise to
charge as much as the city retail price,
hut farmers must receive more than
the wholesale price to afford to OPP
crate stand.
Prices should also vary with the
grade. 1t is always desirable to sep
arate produce into different grades,
for there are buyers for each quality.
Prices may be set according to the
prices in the nearest city, with due
allowance for distance buyers must
come, the grade of produce. and the
size of the container. The most profit
able roadside market business comes
from repeat customers. who also are
willing to recommend the stand, the
