Mr.. Ickes Is not pouring out any
great sums through public works even
yet.
The chart index gives him a break
because public building normally falls
of during December and January.
Actually, he spent less in December
than In November. But his expendi-
ture was so much greater than normal
that it looks big when it is adjusted
seasonally.

DELAYED BY GALE.
Giant Waves Buffet Vessel
on Return Trip to &

BY DR.. LINCOLN ELLSWORTH.

ABOARD THE MOTOR SHIP
WYATT EARP. EN- ROUTE TO DUNE
DIN. New Zealand, January 26.-We
are 800 miles from Dunedin. but max
ing little headway on our return trip
from the Bay of Whales, Anarctica. We
have been battling a strong wind which
swung right around the compass in
"A hours and then into the northwest,
increasing in velocity to 10 miles per
hour with some gusts estimated at 80
miles.
The heavy, white-crested waves sud-
denly mounted to an average OF 20 feet
high and some rose to 80 feet and more.
Swirling foam hid the blueness of the
ocean and the spray whipped from the
waves by the wind stung the faces Of
those on watch on the Wyatt carp like
hailstones.
Buffeted Like Canoe.
The Wyatt carp splendid sea boat,
rose and fell and rolled and twisted like
light canoe on a cataract. taking little
heavy water on her decks, but continu-
ally drenched from the top Of the
bridge to the alleyWays with spray. The
water penetrated everywhere, and every
one venturing on deck, including myself,
failed to escape repeated SoakingS.
When for the second time l was hang
ing my clothes to dry in the fldley above
the engine. a shower came through the
engine room skylight and drenched me
again.
1t was impossible to keep the alley
ways and mess room free from water.
1t swilled from end to end of the mess
room and, as we struggled between the
rollings of the ship to ladle few
spoonsful of hot stew from basins to
our lips, part of the ocean on the mess
room floor curled about our feet. How
the cook managed to prepare meals is
still mystery, as was probably the
contents of the meals themselves.
Dared Not Go to Sleep.
All through the day and night the
wind ragged. At night I tried to rest in
my bunk, but dared not go to sleep for
fear Of rolling to the floor.
With the engine at full sped ahead
the Wyatt carp just managed to hold
her own for "a hours. We made no
progress and at 8 O'Clock this morning
we were in the same place as at 8
O'Clock Yesterday morning. About noon
today the wind partly subsidized and we
are going ahead in spite of a wind force
which is still rated as half gale, max
ing about miles an hour.
Had good weather held We would
have been in Dunedin Saturday morn
ing, but now as to the time of our arri-
val one guess is as good as another
However. there is no desperate hurry.
Even with several days delay there will
still be time to crate our airplane, the
Polar Star in readiness to be shipped
on vessel sailing for San Francisco
on February 20, and time for me 20
catch the liner Mariposa, sailing from
Auckland on February 10, via Honolulu
to the United States.

ATTEMPT TO KIDNAP
MICHIGAN GIRL FAILS
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. January 81.
-Mallery Kincaid. superintendent Of
Grand Rapids police. said last night
that an apparent attempt to kidnap
Barbara Herrinton. ll-year-old daugh-
ter of a Grand Rapids postal official.
from her school yesterday failed because
of q classmates error
K!ncaid said an unidentified man
visited the child's grade school room,
and representing himself as her father.
said her mother was i'll. The girl
was attending q gymnasium class and
a messenger was sent by her teacher,
authorities said.
The messenger told the girl only that
she was wanted at home, and Barbara
waited until her class ended before
leaving. The man meanwhile had dis
appeared.
Police did not reveal the circum-
stances until last night after a city
wide search for the supposed kidnaper
had been launched.

a contract is let. the maximum rate of
employment under that contract cannot
be reached for months, you can readily
see that no considerable number of men
have yet been re-employed through
public works.
Add up the figures and you find
$393,000y000 OF contracts were
aDarded up to January 1.
Economists generally figure each
81 900 expenditure under public works
results in employment of one man.
OF course. the whole 1898 900 900 will
not be spent for some months, but just
for argument, say it was all spent up
to January l.
Public works would then have en-
ployed 393 600 men.
That seems rather insignificant in
a. $4,000. .000.0 900 program designed to
help 10000, 900 unemployed.

Spring Rise Predicted.

The confidential guess of experts i,
that the chart will be at least three
points better generally in February
They are confident Of strong 1urtner
rise through the Spring months.
You may be surprised to find the
January figures on production. employ
ment and pay rolls are no better.
Certainly statistics you have been read
ing from day to day during the month
indicated we were soaring in the SKIES
There are two reasons for that. one
is that such industries as textiles, steel
and automobiles could not get going
during December and January. Tex
tiles had to seek Is per cent reduction
of the N. r. A. code requirements. The
industry overstocked last Summer and
now IS trying to adjust its output to
current demands.
Automobile production encountered
rheumatism on the knee-dcti0n
uheels. Henry Ford is the only one
Dho has been producing enough to
supply orders. The others hare been
delayed in getting their production
technique Strengthened out. One
manufacturer is supposed to haze
had 10000 orders on hand recently
that could not be filed
The failure Of automobile production
caused the failure in demand for steel.
All three together neutralized the i'm
provement shown during the month in
other industrial lines.
Gain Through Comparison.
The other reason why financial page
statistics look better than they are Is
the fact they always are compared with
last January. At that time we were
going down fast and just getting ready
to bounce on the bottom.
Any half decent figure for this Janu-
ary looks like boom time figure when
compared with January last year.
That situation will hold true for the
first six months of this year at least.
I'VE touched bottom in March last
year)
The improvement in foreign trade is
attributed to the dollar policy and
prohibition repeal.
Liquor imports in December amounted
to more than the increase in total
imports That means If it had not
been for liquor, our imports would
have fallen of.

stan of the requirements for an Army
air force adequate to the needs of ma
tional defense.
Reorganization of the Air Corps be-
came necessary as a result of thea re-
cent organization of the Army into
four combat armies. The result of the
reorganization will be to concentrate
all the Air Corps combat units into a

Army was below requirements and that

the limiting strength of 1900 service
able planes would not permit the nee
essary allotment to our overseas pos
sessions and at the same time permit
the organization OF an effective mill

Consequently it proposes a new five

Taking into consideration the neces-

airplanes and based on the flve-year
program and recent War Department
organization of the Army air force. the
Air Corps was found to be short over
l 900 planes. Furthermore, it was de-
termined that. due to the necessities of
adequate personnel for air purposes.
there was a shortage of nearly 400 reg

In view of existing conditions it is
believed the War Department will re-
