GREAT BRITAIN
 ISSUES THREAT

London, Jan. 29 - (UP) - A B 1 ish ultimatum threatening trade reprisals against France was formerly announced in the House
 of Commons today by Walter Run
 ciman, president of the Board of Trade.
 Runciman declared that unless France restores the recently re- duced and withdrawn quotas on
 British goods within 10 days, the British will retaliate with addition al tariffs on French goods. Britain has formally protested to France, without result, against heavy quota reductions. She parti- cuiarly objected to the restoration of the quotas to the United States charging discrimination. British industrialists have been particularly angered by the favors
 shown the United States, and
 "other discriminations." The gov ernment refuses to begin negotia- tions a new Franco-British trade treaty until the restrictions are re- moved.

ARSON GANG HAS
 TAKEN REVENGE
Four of Their Members Sent 10 Prison By
 Ice Company Head

Waltham, Mass, Jan 29-(UP)- An incendiary fire which caused s2,5OO damage at the Waltham Ice company plant was blamed by au. thorities today on an arson gang. who sought revenge because the head of the company recently sent four of their members to prison.
 Disclosures by President Howard E. Peterson that he had been victim of a $6,400 extortion plot after the gang had fired several sheds of the ice company January i9, 1888, resulted in substantial sentences for Barry. Noonan. 2S' of Cambridge. Vito Pascone. 21. and Ignazio Brune, 21, both Of Boston. and George Butler, 3S. or Cochituate.
 The case against Peterson for his alleged connection with the plot was mol pressed because of vaiu- able information he had given the prosecution. The fire last night was started with kerosene in Peter sons office and spread to an ad- joining building, where wagons and trucks were stored. A small blaze damaged his office January 20. Peterson declared this also was the work of the arson gang. So alarmed was Peterson by the sec ond fire within eight days. that he asked police to guard his home here, but was refused.

WOMAN ORDERED
 FROM THE MINES
Only Female Miner in Ohio Must GO Back to
 Kitchen

Cadiz, O, Jan 29--(UP)-Ohio's Amazon of then Pits" the states only woman coal miner, was or- dered back to her kitchen today State authorities told Ida Mae Stull, 34, who has worked in coal mines ever since she can remember, that she must go back to washing dish es, cooking and sewing. Coal min- ing, said the state, Is no job for a woman. Besides, there's law Miss Stull didn't agree. She said so in no uncertain terms.
 "They haven't any more right to take me out of the mines than they have to take another woman from her baby work in the kitchen" she declared, her black eyes snapping "Why, I can load more coal in a day than any man in the mine, and you can ask them if I'm not telling the truth. And last year dug q well and a cistern and raised 200 bushels of potatoes in my spare time. And I could show that mine inspector a thing or two when il comes to muscle"
 But the state mine inspection de. partment was not impressed by Miss Stull's prowess with a pick and shovel. There is, 1t seems, ar Ohio law which forbids a member of the "weaker" sex to engage ir manual labor".

CONSERVATIVE
 CONGREGATION
 WAS SURPRISED
Pastor of Ottawa Church Caused Them 10 Blush
 By His Sermon

Ottowa. Ont, Jan. 29--(UP)-- The conservative congregation of St. James United Church still blushed today from the effects of the Rev. Norman Rawson's modern sermon last night in which he ad- vocated sex education for debutan- ten. The Rev. Rawson, listed what he believed the essentials to assure debu. lnte's social success. These were: taste and individuality in dress and behavior; a business as we'll as a home-making education: sex instruction; familiarity with musical instruments even if only with ukulele or saxophone.
 "Girls going out into life need sex education, and parents who fail to give. them the knowledge of re- alities are culpable," the Rev. Rawson said. The Rev. Rawson at- tended recently a formal reception given by Governor General and Countess Bessborough, and describ. ed the debuntantes he saw there.
 "T wondered whether these beau- tiful girls had been told of the complexities of the situation facing them iA life," he said. "I asked myself if they had been told of the problems they will meet in this life which Is so diverse. The perfect deb bust be many things. She must always be beautifully { dressed. Clothes that might look well on Jean Harlow and Mae West don't suit every young woman."

GEORGE Y. CASEY : ENTERS RACE IN SENATE FIELD
May Be the Republican Candidate to Contest
 With LaWlOr

In the CWA rainbow, trained po- litical observers profess to see the candidacy of George V. Casey for the state senate on the republican ticket rapidly shaping itself.
 If this materiaiizes, and there are plenty of definite signs to indi- cate 1t will, the program next fall in the 18th senatorial district, con1- prising the fourth and fifth wards, will be George v. Casey, republi- can, versus Senator Joseph H. Lawlor, democrat.
 Mir Casey, former republican as. sistant city clerk, is energetic, adroit and there are no limits to his political aspirations, When supt Arthur Maloney, wcil-known Washington Hill democrat, offered MT Casey . position az his right hand bower in the CWA, at the Field street armory, MT Casey very properly accepted. With a demo. crat and republican in charge of affairs ct the armory, a combina- tion was formed which caused no end of speculation in political quar- ters.
 CWA Activities Cited
 Trained very finely, MT Casey'i friends knew he wotild give an ex. cellent account of himself. Tine position as Mr Maloney's deputy employer and counselor brought MT Casey, to the front. with gustc and situations which would be lia. bilities to. some were soon con. verted by Mir Casey into assets. He very dexterously has handled em: ployment and with a good stroke of diplomacy he has received im- measurable credit for giving em. ployment to a great many persons especially those living in Brooklyn, on Washington Hill. in South Wa terbury, the East End and other hooks and corners of the 16th senatorial district.

 Perturbed by published reports linking her husbands illness with the legend that King Tutankhame1l dealt death to the men who ex-5 humed his remains, Mrs Lythgoe had clamped a rigid censorship on hospital reports, and news of the death came first from New York.
 It was understood that only Mrs Lythgoe and one of the two male nurses who had been in attendance were at the bedside when death came. Earlier in the day Mrs Lythgoe had motored to the hos- rital from her Back Bay hotel, and she remained there until the end.
 So numerous were the stories re- calling the Course of the Pharaohs" that Herbert F. Winlock, director of the Metl opolitan Museum. did some private search and last week made public statistics calculated to explode the legend. He reported that:

By ROBERT T. LoUGHRAN

(Buck) Henricksen, erstwhile henchman of Roger Touhy and witness against the gang leader and three conn rades in the trial on charges of kid- naping John (Jake the Barber) Factor.
 Henricksen, short, stocky one-time highway patrolman who turned in his star to become beer truck driver for Touhy, gave nerv- ous answers to the questions of Assistant States Attorney Wilbur Crowley. As the witness testified.i he watched Touhy scribble notes regarding his testimony with ill- concealed fear.
 The state relied on Hendricksen to prove the connecting link be-, tween Touhy, Albert Kator, Ed- ward McFadden, and Gustave Schaeffer and other gangsters in the abduction of Factor.
 Henricksen told of renting the house where the state charges Touhy held Factor for ransom. He said Touhy asked him to get the house, explaining he wanted . place to keep his men and also to install a miniature beer plant.

 The Touhy gang was living Tn this house at the time Factor was kidnapped, Henricksen said.
