More NouriShment.
By United Press


MIAMI, Fla, March 2.-Mayor
Anton j. Cermak of Chicago con-
tinued his courageous fight to live
today while his physicians strove to
give him additional nourishment.
Cermak's conditions in the last
twenty-four hours has given encour-
agement for his recovery.
The hiccoughs which Cermak has
had internationally for hours, and
caused physicians serious worry be-
cause of the danger of peritonitis,
have subsidized, it was announced in
a bulletin which read:
Mayor Cermak is resting more
quietly. He had been sleeping since
early this morning except at inter-
walls when taking nourishment. The
hiccoughs and abdominal distress
seem to have subsidized. Pulse 100;
respiration 80; temperature &c."
DR.. Frank Jirka, one of the con-
sultants, said efforts were being
made to persuade the mayor to take
more nouriShment.
"He is holding his own today, but
we want him to improve, and he
needs more nouriShment," Jirka
said.

Fifteen shots were fired at speed

have taken effect. The men re-
turned the fire, but escaped in their
dark sedan.
A few hours later the men, reared

men Claus and VIM rushed to-
ward them in a police cruiser. The
men, who had started to alight, fired
at the patrolmen, and were an

One of the suspects appeared to
have been wounded as he scrambled

And in this attitude bankers saw
an approach to the day when all
: limitations can be lifted, because of
an end of the hysteria which re-
suited in continual heavy with
drawals, threatening the banks
liquidity.
With the cashing of nearly
$1OO0,000 of city, county, school and
state pay checks Wednesday, and
additional thousands given employees
of firms paying at the end of the
month. enough currency was in local
trade channels that few persons
found themselves handicapped seri-
ously for ready cash.
Many individuals met their imme-
diate cash problems by withdrawing
the 5 per cent of their deposits al
lowed by the banks.
Firms Help Employees
Others found the firms with which
they usually deal willing to Coop
crate by accepting checks or extend
ing the usual line of credit.
One city in Indiana, Newcastle,
today was on a modified form OF
scrip, bank orders on deposits being
issued and accepted in trade at their
face value.
The old custom of barter and
trade was being revived at Frank
fort. where several merchants
offered to accept grain, livestock, or
what have YOU" in exchange for
groceries and other merchandise.
Cite National Action
Spread of withdrawal limitations
10 other cities throughout the ma
ton was hailed by local bankers as
Infringing a return to normal bank
ing operations one step nearer. The
sooner a uniform national policy Is
adopted, the sooner conditions can
be remedied here, they said.
There was talk on the streets and
in offices of raising the withdrawal
limit to 10 per cent soon, but bank
ers expressed the opinion that no
such action could be taken until a
uniform limitation policy has been
adopted throughout the nation.
There is a feeling throughout
banking circles that, while present
conditions are strictly temporary,
no withdrawal relief can be ex-
pected until a way is found to bring
definite assurance that new money
will stay in the banks and not
promptly be stuffed into sugar bowls
or safety deposit boxes.

ADVICE TO SALMON PACKERS.

Commissioner Bell, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries for new officer seems to be nave ac- ouired quite lot of knowledge about the salmon packing industry in Alaska This is strongly lno- cated by his statement at Ketshikan, quoted in an Associated Press dispatch to The Empire that Fed eral control of the industry be expected II the packers do not clean house themselves under the National Recovery Act. For that reason, he said he is gathering data fair prices for the raw product that is the fish sold to them by the fisher men of Alaska and fair prices for the finished article
 The National Recovery Act does give the GOV ernment the authority to fix prices and hours of labor and prices of manufactured products if the manufacturers themselves cannot do not do SO The Act provides that the industry, through trade association can regulate iteslf majority Of the units in the industry agree upon schedule affect ing labor and prices of product and 1t is approved by the Government, the latter has the authority to compel any rebellous minority to abide by the agreement arrived at by the majority.
 The Commissioners announcement that the Gov ernment will take hold if the packers do not is timely It serves notice the industry that it must act promptly and effectively with fairness to labor and to itself. Here is a chance for the salmon canners to get on their feet again, to eradicate all of the friction among themselves that has proved so costly in recent years. They will be well advised if they make the most of it. E F

For Conservation All Around.
(NeW York Herald Tribune

It is a pleasure to note that the conservation corps experiment gives promise Of success Appar- ently the cold feet suffered by so many early re- cruits after their first experience of the conditioning camps has had little effect the main army, which, unless Washington reports exaggerate, now numbers 90 1000 and is being swelled with 10000 enlstments daily Already considerably more than 100 refores- tation camps have been established and more than 80 occupied The scope of the undertaking may be judged from the fact that the War Department must not only find training quarters for the con- stant stream of new applicants but is under sched- ule to move every day 540o of those already con- ditioned from training quarters to permanent camps It will require 1850 of the latter to house the corps when it has been recruited to it's full strength of ,274 OO0 which now seems likely before July l. But aside from the excellent prospect that this vast body of idle will soon be occupied lin useful and healthul work under the proper con- Iditions of sanitation and discipline the program has developed certain collateral advantages scarcely less important than it's main objective. One of these, lof course was the opportunity it gave the Presi- dent to solve the problem presented by the bonus lmarchers. His offer of reforestation jobs to the Is GOO veterans encamped at Washington has 1ound l2600 takers and completely euchred their leaders, who, with a remnant of die-hard followers are now lin full retreat As one of them has expressed it. We whipped, and we have to hand 1t to that smart fellow at the White House."
 Even smarter, it seems to us, is the reported
 White House decision to stay the retirement Of from 5000 to 400o army officers, as decreed by MT Douglass budget slashes and put them in charge 1 of the conservation corps Such transfer would save the country from the loss of this trained
 personnel it would spare these officers the humia- ton of dismissal after devoting the best years
 of their lives to the public service, and it would
 supply the conservation camps with exactly the | type of management they need.
 | Robert Fechner director of the conservation
 program has estimated that "the total requirement
 for officer personnel for this huge project is 540t
 for field work" that this will necessitate detailing
 one half of all officers duty with corps areas l (3209), the early graduation of service schools
 and use of the graduates and 60 per cent of the | faculty q OOO) the of 169 naval surgeons ano
 the calling to active duty of 1902 reserve officers | Why then any talk of retirement? What the
 army needs is conservation quite much as the | forests

Trend of Crime.

(Daily Journal of Commerce. SeattleO
 The Bureau of Investigation of the Federal De- partment of Justice has recently issued report which comments at length on the present trend of crime.
 Murder and of aggravated assault are increasing our larger cities. but auto thefts which are particularly characteristic of youth are fewer, and robberes are generally on the decline, the bureau reports The number of persons charged with driving while intoxicated is highest in cities of less than 10000 population Auto thefts are propor- tionately fewer in small communities. Crime rates vary directly with the size of the community Forgery and counterfeiting are more prevalent In cities having population of between 100000 and l250OOO and the number of persons prosecuted for violation of the narcotic law is from two to three times as great in cities 100000 in population las in smaller cities and towns There is less drunk enness in proportion to population in the very large and very small communities the greatest proportion being in those having a population between 10O- 900 and 25OOOO. Larceny is more prevalent il smaller cities.
 The department has 3483629 criminal finger print records and 4594,224 index cards showing the names and aliases of individuals with crmina records Once finger printed and indexed at Wash ngton the comings and goings of the individuals concerned be closely watched. i Crime detection is becoming more of certainty each year in this country. There is diminutior of crime but the methods of detecting its per petrators and combating its growth is being improved each year.

BAN ON SAILOR PROFANITY.

The announcement of Secretary of Navy swan son that the Naval vessels above submarine and destroyer classes will not be placed on rotation that is laid up part tme-lifts some of the gloom that has settled heavily sailors hearts in recent days but not all of it. An order issued lately by Admiral R. H. Leigh probably caused more consternaton than did the original rotation order of the Secretary.
 In fleet letter 333, Admiral Leigh ordered that the use of naughty swear words profanity ne termed it. must immediately cease, and those guilty of violating the order will be dealt with by court martial under Section 8 of Navy Regulations which prohibits among other things "scandalous conduct and the elements" of that crime are defned as utterng in public of profane words, irreligious or dsrespectfu language or undue familiarity toward the Diety or religious things; sacriligious; ir- religious; impous" Appended to this, however, is a footnote This offense practically obsolete as court martial offense."
 Now what is poor sailor to do? The order IS said not to apply to an officer. However, in Navy man are synonymous and Admiral Leigh probably subscribes to the notion that gentleman is never profane, at least vulgary The enlisted personne of the fleet is in tough spot. It is mighty good thing we're not engaged in Compliance with such an order would render the fleet defense of offense In peacetme the gobs possibly car relieve their emotions by swearing under then breath but never in wartime.
