F.. Smith
At 50 Not So Rich

New York.-"Al" Smith is in
his Goth year. That is, he was 50
years of age recently. Few men
in either party have rated the
quality of public devotion which
have been accorded him. He is
likely the most popular public man
in the country. The 'Happy
Warrior" they call him.
How does APP rate in this year
of the depression after 40 years of
public service. Well, to start with,
and "Al" always begins his SEN
fences with "well," he gets $780,
900 a year from the Empire State
Building Corporation. The federal
government and the State of New
York take $4,000 of this in tax
es.
This leaves 'Al" $4,000 in the
clear. 1t costs him $4,000 a year
for rent, which leaves him $4,000
a year net income, supplemented
by his magazine connections and
his writings. These alliances are
by no means permanent. At least
this is the way the Ex-Governor
figures it out: "Once a noble oc'
cupation; now a hazardous en-
ployment," he quotes.
Extraordinary demands are made
on his time and services. There is
no night in the week on which he
is not called to make a speech.
Smith never gets paid for his
speeches like a lot of other public
men. And he only makes spec
ches in these days which have to
do with public questions, the help
of the unemployed and the down
and-out.
He is the most sought after
speaker in New Tork city, and
this is a fairly big town. When
he comes out of the Empire State
building, crowds always gather a.
round his automobile. (The ex-
Governor has an aversion tc
taxis). MANY of them have ap-
peals. It's a combination of the
always curious New Yorker ano
the people from the sticks.
If any small part of the people
who are trying to see 'Al" Smith
could reach his office there woulc
be nothing left of the 5000, plu.
his income as editor of a maya
zine. For, as the saying goes,
ZAP always has his hand in hi,
pocket. He can never listen to G
tough story without trying to dc
something about it. And despite
the barrage of secretaries ane
hard-boiled office boys, person:
who have nothing to do with
public business and the af-
fairs of the Empire State building
get in to see him.
When Smith does not leave tn,
building for lunch it is his custom
to drop into the office of Kierar
Lowry, an oldtime Boston hote.
and club man, to get the news Of
the day. Lowry is always full Of
Boston stuff" and if IA" didn'1
live in New York he would rather

Black Draught
Clears Up Sluggish,
Dull Feeling

II have used Thedford's Black
Draught for constipation for a
long time, and find it gives relief
for this trouble" writes Mrs.
Frank Champion, Of Wynne, Ark.
Il think it is good for spells
caused from gas on the stomach.
If 1 get up in the morning feeling
dull and sluggish, a dose of Black
Draught taken three times a day
will cause the feeling to pass away,
and in a day or two 1 feel like a
new person. After many years of
use we would not exchange Black
Draught for any medicine"

priation is obtained from the
public works fund to enable them
to carry on important research
work, there seems to be no place
for them in the present Govern
mental setup.
Possibly certain foundations
may be able to come to the
rescue, for a national foundation
recently offered to undertake GER
tain statistical work for which no
funds were available in the De-
partment of Commerce.
Although many dismissals were
announced yesterday, both among
employees in Washington and in
the field, the eliminations are by
no means completed as yet.
Roper Group Suffers
The Commerce Department has
suffered most, with 1908 dis
missals, all told, to date. Pro-
spective dismissals from the Blu
reau Of Mines, which will be
numerous, will add largely to the
number.
OF the 1868, nearly half were
notified yesterday, when 426 Of
the 835 employees Of the Bureau
Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce were told they were
through July Is.
This was in addition TO lot
foreign service men and 1873 field
office employees already dismissed.
Other bureaus Of the department
also have been hit heavily Of
late.
The Department Of Agriculture
yesterday notified 1873 Washing
ton employees and 470 field work
ers they must go, and 46O others
received indefinite furloughs.
The Treasury will give payless
furloughs Of 26 days, one day
every two weeks, to 1880 en-
ployes. In view Of dismissals al.
ready made in the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, the Public Health
Service and the Customs Bureau,
this procedure is considered ade-
quate.
Roosevelt SOIicitous
The Geological Survey yester-
day removed "a from the rolls, in
cluding SO involuntarily retired,
four optionally retired, IS let out
under the married persons clause
and % released for low efficiency
ratings.
Fourteen employees were dis
missed from the Secretary's office
in the Interior Department, but
13 of these were retired on an
nuities.
President Roosevelt is eager to
place as many competent en-
ployes as possible of those who
have been dismissed, and Secre-
tary Roper and Wallace are par
ticularly sympathetic to the
plight Of the Federal workers, the
more so, probably, because quite
involuntarily on their part they
have been obliged to release so
many from their own agencies.

FLOOD PASSING
IN MARYLAND

FREDERICK, Md, July 4.
Flood waters which washed away
bridges and culverts, overflowed
fields and caused thousands Of
dollars damage to roads, had sub
sided today.
Traffic on the national high
way, on which hundreds Of auto
mobiles were stranded, was re-
stored today after road engi-
neers and workmen spent a busy
period repairing the damage.
A cavein 20 feet in length three
miles west of Middletown dis
rupted holiday traffic and several
bridges were so weakened that
they were closed to await inspec-
ton. About $50 telephone poles
were out Of order, interrupting
communication for hours.
Woodsboro, Dickerson and other
county towns were in darkness
until light service was restored.
Shacks and outbuildings on farms
were blown over and road signs
were scattered along the highway
for miles between Emmittsburg
and Gettysburg.

RELIEF FUND

BALTIMORE, July 4.-Governor
Ritchie is considering using the
$435 900 which Baltimore claims
as it's share in Federal relief
funds in helping IL Maryland
counties meet the unemployment
relief crisis facing them.
The governor said, however,
that he will not reach a decision
on this course until he discusses
the situation with Mayor Jack
son.
He holds that although the
State has not as yet appropriated
any funds for relief, the fact that
the State would in August float
$7,000,000 of a $12,000,000 bond
issue to finance the city's past
and present relief expenditures,
would make the public money al
ready spent here actually State
funds.

nor Ritchie and Mayor Jackson
