a break until 1929. The washing

One day, looking through the
Manhattan telephone directory, the
name Bombatement company caught
my eye. Made up my mind to find
out what 1t was. Now the World
Telegram has done 1t for me. The
Bombatement company is a con-
Germ that does not advertise. In
fact, 1t avoids publicity whenever
possible. Known TO every trade
organization in the city, 1t Is I'M
possible to get in touch with Harry
Mooney, its head, unless there is
positive Identification. The Bonn
batement company speciallzes In
neutralizing the effect of stencil
bombs. Hence the secrecy that sur
rounds it.
The start of the business was In
a way an accident. Stencil bomb
ers attacked a grocery owned by
one of Mr.. Moneys friends. He
picked up some of the crystals, an
alyzed them and experimental until
he found a neutralizing agent While
he was treating the grocery, po-
liceman collared him and charged
him with having returned to CON-
plete the wrecking Job. Mr.. Mooney
succeeded in demonstrating to the
officer what he was really doing.
The next day a restaurant on the
COPS beat was bombed and he
called Mr.. Mooney. Then the COM
pany formed.
One of the big transatlantic

the theory being that the employees
will render better service because
the uncertainty of return viii be

Shift to Pasture
Lowers Production

Shifting production from wheat and

pected to take place on millions Of
acres under the adjustment programs
Of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-

Fears that possible marked increase
IN acres Of grazing land would result
IN adding to existing surpluses Of dairy
and livestock products are said to be
groundless. Pasture crops, even II

than harvested grain crops.
