continue to have fascination, even in

when it is calculated on a scientific

popularity is understandable.
A certain English pottery firm is
working night and day making lockets,
brooches and buttons to keep away the
omnipotent "flu." These lockets contain
iodine, and all sorts and conditions Of

that of a DR.. Goodfellow, who explains
that iodine is capable of giving off a
vapor which lodges in the nose and

of the bre3ther to germs.

LOS ANGELES, February 11.-Virt-

in the kidnapping last Sunday of Mrs.
Mary B. Skeele, authorities today pre-
pared to act on Howard's voluntary
promise to plead guilty at once and

of the frail, 65-year-old wife of Dean
Walter F. Skeele of the College of
Music of the University of Southern
California.

Police said, however. they were in
cAned to believe the names furnished
by Howard-E. L. Lindstrom and Billy
Stillwell-were fictitious, and that more
than likely the "accomplices" were
nothing more than Pigments of the pa
rolled convict's imagination.
Miss Hammer, said by police to have
fully confessed equal participation with
Howard in the abduction, later in
burst of hysteria declared she would
deny everything" on the witness stand.
She made no mention of confederates.
Howard endeavored to take the full
blame for the abduction and shield Miss
Hammer, who was quoted by police as
Saying that she will become a mother
in few months.
The transcript of their purported
confessions said Miss Hammer hired
Howard as a man-of-a -all-work, they fell
in love, and that they Matched the kid
nap plot to obtain money on which to
marry and with which to save Miss
Hammers home, which she recently
lost through foreclosure.

Her former attendance at the Uni
versity of College of Music caused her
to select Isobel Smith Of Pasadena as
the first victim, according to the tran
script Miss Smith, former president of
the college student body, became suspi-
cious when false moustache fell from
the face of man who called at her
home in an automobile. She escaped.
Then Mrs. Skeele was selected. She
was lured from home by false message
her husband had been injured, and was
returned the following night, scratched,
bruised and in hysterical condition.
Police attention was directed to Miss
Hammer and Howard by neighbors who
grew suspicious over activities about the
house where the two were living.

Found Wandering by

MOSCOW, July 10.--With one wing
shattered, damaged fusilage and
chassis, the plans of Jimmie Mattern,
Texas round-the-world flyer, strayed
from its course and crashed in the
bleak wilderness of northeastern ST.
IBERIA, eighty miles from the nearest
settlement Of Anadyr. With virtually
no food at hand he took the rifle
given him by the Soviet Union avia-
tors at Khabarovsk, started out into
the frozen wasteland and lived for
the past three weeks on wild birds
which are scarce enough IN the re-
gion.
He wandered around in light cloth
ing, exposed to the cold Of the icy
tundras. When the temperature be-
gan to rise and the first motor
launches of the Russian Coast Guard
Service last week picked their way
along the cracking ice Of the Anadyr
River, they hit upon the adventurous
Mattern, uninjured, healthy. They
put him up at Anadyr, notifying So
Wet authorities who took action inn
mediately.

IN LONDON TO
END JULY 26
Battle for Markets Is
Now More Bitter Than
At Opening
DOLLAR DROPS LOWER
Anglo-U.S. Conflict AS
Result Is Greater

LONDON, July 10.-Unable
TO give even the appearance of
continuing the London Econo-
mic Conference by discussing
minor points while the main
battle for markets and world
financial domination continued,
1t was decided today to bring
the gathering to an end on July
26th.
In reality it is ended now, the
French and other gold country
delegations holding meetings in
Paris to map out strategy for
the sharper economic warfare
now developing.
The main discussions in London
IN the last few days were between
the United States and England, each
trying to gain advantage over the
other in the bitter trade war height
ened by the disclosures of the various
robber powers at the conference it
self
The outstanding fact is that the
dollar is dropping rapidly, showing the
pound back to its high point before
England went off the gold standard.
At that time, the British were able to
gain an advantage on the interna-
tional market. Now the American ex-
ploiters are gaining greater advan-
tage, with the British maneuverin3
their forces for quick retaliation. The
struggle is thus developing on all
fronts-for advantage on the world
financial stage, for domination in the
world markets through tariffs and
lower prices through initiation and
wage cuts at home) and through
greater naval and war ornaments.
In England the bankers are pre-
pairing to shove the pound lower in
relation to the dollar, because of the
effects on British markets already due
to initiation in the United States. 1t
is now cheaper for many British i'm
porters to buy American goods, prod
uced at lower real wages than before,
caused by initiation
The drop in the dollar, also, is I'M
dermining the British Ottawa agree
ment whereby England got advantages
in the dominions over the United
States.
AS one writer put it here; with
the pound now standing at a premium
in Canada, there is far less incentive
for the Canadians to import from the
United Kingdom
The London Economic Conference,
which was opened with such fanfare
promising peaceful solution of all
the ills of world capitalism through
international agreements, closes with
the conflicts and antagonisms among
the imperialist powers sharper than
ever before. 1t closes with a shock to
the financial relations of all the pow
erS, precipitating the sharpeSt finan-
cial battles. 1t opens the way for the
greatest contest for world markets,
overshadowing a similar struggle that
led to ti92 'Gst World War. 1t is be-
ing followed by greater armament of
all the i'm crialist powers for a new
world slaughter

ammunition are reported to have
been found in a house in Berlin

rested.
In wholesale raids one Sunday in
Berlin the political police reported
to have found not only illegal Com
munist printed matter, but also
Communist printed matter, but also

The fact that there is abundant
evidence that the Nazis themselves
set fire, and the fact that the Nazis
have organized this elaborate cam
paign to create and maintain a
lynch atmosphere against the &C
cused Communists greatly increases
the danger that these leaders, and
Ernst Thselmann, leader of the
German Communist Party. will be
murdered while trying to escape,
in preference to risking the ex-
posture in an open trial.

by American workers play an i'm
