GROUP MEETS

Harry G. Moock, general
sales manager of the Plymouth
Motor Corporation, arrived here
to attend the first meeting yester-
day of the Washington plymouth
Sales League.
The meeting, which followed
q breakfast at the Hamilton Hotel,
was attended by over 200
Plymouth dealers and salesmen.
A. E. Richmond, Plymouth fac

Mothers are rapidly discover
ing the advantage Of the liquid
form. Thousands of cases of
ill-health-and half-health-
in boys and girls are being
cleared-up by stopping all use
of laxatives of adult strength.
This Treatment Safe!
The preparation widely
favored for child use is Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs. It is a
fruity syrup with the right
amount of senna for gentle
stimulation of a child's bowels.
It gives the right kind of help.
If the bowels aren't moving
regularly and thoroughly,
don't give any medicine that
drains the system dry. Give a
liquid senna preparation WOO

You wouldn't give your child
a powerful headache powder;
you shouldn't give children
a violent cathartic.
Did you know a laxative
that works just right for you,
can work havoc with a child?
That the laxative habit can
be contracted at the age Of six?
And that the wrong laxa-
tive can give children chronic
constipation before their tenth
birthday?
Read this, Mothers!
Doctors urge the use Of a
Equid laxative for children;
preferably one with SIENNA. A
liquid laxative can be easily
regulated to suit. The natural
laxative action of senna does
not weaken the bowels.

thau.
Sprague Ignored
The changes and the gag-rule
were described in one Admins
tration quarter as being necessary
to stop "sniping" at the Admin
istration's monetary policy from
within.
Sprague's letter of resignation
revealed that although the Pres
ident persuaded him to give up
a lucrative position as adviser to
the Bank Of England and return
to the United States as adviser
to the Treasury, he did not avail
himself of the professors counsel.
Sprague wrote to the President:
at is possible there might
StiIl be a meeting of minds had
been afforded any opportunity
to discuss policies with you. But
no opportunities whatever have
been afforded me since my re-
turn from London in July"
The passing Of Sprague was
viewed with equanimity by the
new head of the Treasury and
by Administration officials gen.
orally. He has never been popu-
lar. His long association with
the Bank Of England, and par
ticularly his insiStence in London
last July that the dollar be
stabilized, as demanded by the
British and the French, did not
serve to endear him to those who
are shaping Administration policy.
MOrgenthau Ironic
Morgenthau's only comment
was ironic:
"The sun will rise and set
tomorrow, and the birds will
sing"
In the background Of the ap-
preaching battle looms Congress,
due to assemble some six weeks
hence.
Congress is in an inflationary
mood, as revealed last spring in
the passage Of the Thomas

menting with the value Of the
dollar.
That the Administration is
tightening its lines for the forth
coming battle also is evident.
The Treasury has been thorough
ly shaken up under the new act
ing secretary, Henry Morgen-
thau, jr., and other changes are
on the way.
Those out Of sympathy with
the gold policy, such as Dean
Acheson and Prof. Sprague, have
been retired. New men have been
appointed to "key" positions in
the Treasury-men who are in
sympathy with the Presidents
program.
And most significant Of all, q
rigid sorship has been
clamped down under which Off
cials other than Morganthau are
forbidden to talk to newspaper
men.
New Posts Created
DR.. Herman Oliphant, formerly
connected with the Farm Credit
Administration, which Morgen-
thau headed, has been transferred
to the Treasury as general coun-
sci" to the Secretary. It is a new
post.
Earle Bailie, formerly connected
with the Seligman Banking and
Brokerage firm in New York, has
been appointed Fiscal adviser" to
the Secretary. It is also a new
post.
William H. McReynolds, former
ly with the Federal Bureau of ef-
ficiency, has been named Admin
istrative Assistant" to the Secre-
tary.
And the Treasury now has q
press agent for the first time in
history, Herbert e. CASTOR, a for.
mer New York newspaper man,
and friend Of Morgenthau's being
appointed to that post.

use them or not as he saw fit.
Some Of them he has used, but
the greater part he has not.

those powers mandatory instead
of discretionary.
Sprague expressed these views
in writing to the President:

PRISON RIOTERS
! FACE HEAVY
HUH
GUARD

" PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. %
N.SO.-Augmenting the regular
force of guards, State police
armed with tear gas bombs and
Sawed-off shot guns transformed
Pennsylvania Eastern Penitenti-
ary into an armed camp today
after the 1900 convicts staged the
most destructive riot in the 100
year-old history of the institution.
Clubs and torches in the hands
of a band of rs desperate long
termers made a shambles out Of
the dye shop and weaving room
and damaged the kitchen and
chaplain's quarters. Loss was eS-
timated at $4,000.
Fourth in Six Weeks
:. The riot was the second in u
hours and the fourth major out
break in six weeks.
Gov. Clifford Pinchot blamed
Henry N. Woolman. chairman Of
the prison board of trustees, for
penitentiary conditions which re-
suited in the previous disturbances,
and demanded his resignation last
week. When Woolman refused to
resign, the governor dismissed him
and appointed DR.. Lewis Robinson,
penologist, in his place.
Several Shots Fired
: For more than two hours yester-
day afternoon the ba I'd Of IS priS-
oners defied efforts of guards and
hlmost 200 city policemen to drive
them into their cells. Several shots
were fired, but no one was re-
ported wounded.
The ringleaders were placed in
Q segregated cell block under heavy
guard last night and deprived Of
their dinner. Warden Herbert j.
Smith said they will be punished
further.

SPRAGUE VIEWS
IGNORED BY
ROOSEVELT

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. %
O.NSO.-Pre esid ent Roosevelt
rested and swan today, while
official Washington reverberated
to the resignation Of o. M. w.
Sprague, special adviser to the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
The President had no COM
ment following notification that
Sprague had given up his Treas
ury post, but it was made plain
that no change Of the present
monetary policy Of the Admins
tration was in prospect.
No Comment Expected
Further than this, it was
learned in quarters close to the
Little White House" that the
Executive will have no comment
whatever on the Sprague resigna-
ton. It was emphatically pointed
out that the former Bank Of
England expert resigned to the
Secretary Of the Treasury-not
to the President.
Sprague was brought here by
William H. Woodin, who recently
abandoned his post as Secretary
Of the Treasury for an indefinite
leave of absence due to illness.
Thus, Sprague's resignation was
referred to and accepted by the
Acting Secretary, Henry Morgen-
thau jr., and is not to come to
Mr.. Roosevelt's desk at all.
Another matter was brought to
the Presidents attention, the
order Of Morgenthau imposing a
seal Of silence on Treasury De-
partment officials. This action
brought a protest from the Treas
ury newspaper correspondents in
washington, but it was made
plain here that the President
would not interfere.
General Gag Denied
In this connection, Stephen T.
Early, Secretary to the President,
made it plain that Mr.. Roosevelt
was confident that Morgenthau
did not intend to impose a gen.
eral press gag by his ORDER. Early
said:
1--WE feel that Mr.. MOrgen-
thau had no intention Of impOs-
ing q gag rule. think that
when the correspondents see
how the new arrangement
works out, they will be entirely
satisfied with it. The real in
tent was to send out the news
through a central department,
not to withhold information"
Eddie Cantor, comedian and
songster, was to come here for a
visit with the President today,
but it was made plain that he
would not talk business.
Mr.. Roosevelt was to make q
short radio address this afternoon
at 4:45, Eastern standard time.
