ETY., so that in the Pickering, candle
light, the shadow of a moth on the
wall appears as a sinister figure from
the Rue Morgue?
Well, here is a fact story, worthy
! the pen of a Poe or Dumas:
Sitting in the den of an old friend
of ours the other evening at Mountain
Lake Park, talking of this, that and
the other, thing, our conversation for
some reason turned to the subject of
art.
Perhaps what started US on that
subject was an unfinished oil paint
ing hanging on the wall of the den.
My host invited me across the hall
to view some scenes done in oil by
his late wife. AS we started to leave
the room, my attention was arrested
by small painting, as l thought,
hanging on the wall in corner, de-
picting Christ on the Cross.
The figure was represented on a
dead, saffron-colored background.
There was something odd in the way
the outlines of the figure of Christ
stood out-something arresting. 1t
was hung in place where the sum
light, interrupted by the swaying
branches of the trees in the yard,
came and went-the ever-changing
lights and shadows giving an eerie
effect of movement.
We knew, of course, that it was
these changing shadows cast by the
setting sun filtering through the tree
branches or the futttering of a win
dow curtain-or was it?-that caused
us to imagine we could see the rip

foods may be suspended at the end of
two feet of cord, tied to the end of a
limb in such a manner as it will swing
freely in the wind. Only birds accus-
toned to feeding in the swaying limbs
of trees can successfully take food so
placed. Mixed grain, such as scratch
feed, screenings, sweepings from barn
floors and granaries, bread crumbs,
table scrapings and similar foods are
very useful at feeding stations and
furnish excellent food for birds.

Sad news for the power companies
has been in the making at the Federal
Commission for several days.
1T will include a much more Spe-
cifc promise OF general Uater
poper investigation than Das pub
licIy offered by the commission teD
,oeeks back Apparently the COM
mission is literally going to count
the drops of s1ater inrolped in the
national p0tDer situation.
The inquiry will lay the basis for
future legislation to promote public
power development.
That is what Senator Costigan had
in mind when he fostered the Senate
resolution, directing the inquiry to be
made.
There is another industry which has
no defenders on the inside in this ad-
ministration. That is coal.
From the start, those closest to the
coal crowd is the only one with which
they would have serious code trouble.
Would Welcome Fight.
1t is also the only one with which
they welcome test fight. Gen. john
son has done all he could to avoid court
squabbles with other industries. The
original blanket code idea was dropped
for fear of constitutional arguments.
Each succeeding step has been care

rate) so the recovery scheme could be
kept out of the jurisdiction of judges.
The real reason johnson feels differ
emily about coal is that the Govern
ment can make its best case on that
issue.
It is an interstate natural resource.
The Government has legal rights over
natural resources that it does not have
over private industries like steel and
automobiles.

Procedure Begun in lmmigra

Service.

The initial steps in the culling-
out process, to which the new 1mmi-
grafton and Naturalization Service Is to
be subjected in order to keep within
81 900 900 slash in funds, started today
Eleven teams composed OF a rep
resentative from Immigration service
another from naturalization. one from
the Civil Service Commission and one
DESIGNATED from the public, began in
terviewing members of the f1eld force
scattered over the country, in a test
that will determine who is to 60 ano
who Is to stay.
This action was ordered by D. w
NacCormack. new Commissioner OF
Immigration and Naturalization, and
Is a brand-new venture in the general
retrenchment program. All the force
which is made of what were formerly
the separate Bureaus Of immigration
and Naturalization, are being given
temporary appointments until this sur
vey which is designed to retain those
workers best fitted for their duties, is
completed No figures are yet obtain
able at the Department OF Labor as
to the number Of workers who must be
separated from service.
The Civil Service Commission desig-
mated as its representatives on the
teams members of the investigative
staff who are skilled in conducting
such oral quizzes as are being used n
this instance.
Labor officials decided on this sur
vey instead of making an arbitrary
selection of personnel to be retained
which is permissible under the re-

The economist left his written resig-

He told Johnsons secretary he was
returning to Chicago and could be
reached there If johnson had any mes

In presenting his resignation, Ogburn

CALIFORNIA PEACH
AGREEMENT IS NEAR
Marketing Pact Is Likely to Be
Put Into Effect for Trade
Immediately.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace to-
day received the proposed marketing
agreement for California cling peaches
and indications were that 1t would put
it into effect within the next few hours.
A majority Of the Gamers repre-
sented signed the revised agreement
and It was carried today to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture by DR.. H. r. Tolley
chief of the farm administration
fruits and vegetables section.
Apparently all difficulties have been
disposed OF. and in view Of the emer-
gency situation in the California peach
g1owing section it was expected that
Secretary Wallace would make the
agreement effective Immediately.
1t provides q $40 ton minimum for
peaches to the growers and limits the
pack for this years crop to 218.000
tons The California peach agreement
will be the second marketing agree
ment formally proclaimed by the farm
administration, the first being the
Chicago milk agreement. which Is now
being tested in the courts.
Both agreements provide for licens-
ing of the interests involved and both
fix the resale price Of the product.

sioners and other District officials re-

Before entering the conference, Sem

under this Federal appropriation. He
anticipates that the ALLEGATION will be
made promptly and that important
public Improvements will be undertaken,

for several hundred men will be pro-

This would affect all employees ex-
cept maintenance crews, engineers, fire
men, electricians, tire testers, sales and
supervising STATS and ONCE employees.
For accounting. clerical office, serv-
ice or sales employees, excepting out
side SaleSmen, 40-hour week would

Weekly minimums of from $l4 in cities

above 100000 were incorporated.
The Recovery Administrations hope
Is that within 80 days virtually all basic
employers will be covered in their own
codes.
An appeal by Representative Jones,
Democrat, Of Texas, that all mortgage
and loan companies be asked to formu-
late code which would end foreclo-
sures on city and farm properties for
three years was made yesterday.
Jones made the proposal in letter to
IeIl johnson, pointing out that this
would work no hardship on these COM
panies as most Of them desire to have
money at interest"
AT any rate" he added. ut is asking
but a small contribution toward the re-
covery program"
Under Jones' plan, owners would not
be required to pay any principal install
ments that might come due, provided
interest and taxes were paid.
In addition" the Texan said, II
think that all of such companies should
be required not to institute or press
foreclosure proceedings under any cir
cumstances, either for principal or in
terest, for a period Of six months. thus
giving opportunity for legislative mea-
sures which nave been enacted to get
into working order
My reason for making this request
has been the refusal of q considerable
number of these mortgage and loan
companies to cooperate in any way in
carrying out the program

or not.
To keep the inside history straight,
the following facts may be set down as
gospel.
Mr.. Roosevelt was responsible for
Moley flying up to the AmberJack, WIZ
ing him to come that way.
The President did not communicate
with Moley about calling of his plane
flight from Southampton to London.
Moley Cancelled the arrangements on his
own initiative.

Moley sent personally only one wire
from the returning ship Manhattan.
That went to Departmental Adviser

rent debate.
There is no question but ,chat
good many. people haze been shoot
ing at Moley on the inside. Eeen
before the inauguration they inspired
q story that Mr.. Roosevelt ,rds get

Moley saw the headline while coming
down to Washington on the presidential
train 1t read:
"Moley To Be Ousted"
He dashed into the midst Of news
men on the train demanding to know
where they got such stun. They had
nothing to do with it. The story had
been written by some one outside the
regular White House press corps.
In the recent publicity fracas he has
kept as mum as Hull. His friends
whisper he will have something to say

IF there is any fire in the eye OF

He turned his head aside and looked

He is the scion OF family whose

throughout Italy These estates and
revenue from them could have been
his-except for Cuba.
As boy of l9. filled with the aristo-
cratic pride of old Rome. he heard Of
the struggle Of Cuba against Spain and
set forth to help the revolution. He
landed in Cuba by stealth, fought as a
private and finally rose to the rank Of
colonel
He suffered with the soldiers of his
adopted land, which later made him a
citizen. When food ran out, he ate
dogs, cats. even snakes, to keep alive.
Ferrara turned to journalism. He was
credited with assisting the accession to
power Of Gerardo Machado, a politician
whom he called the best leader Of the
liberal forces. 1t was he who, through
the eight years Machado ruled, told his
friends he believed the dictator was
striving to accomplish the greatest good

say he opposed the excesses of cruelty
