Kent be- lieves life in the wilderness will build character in his son. and be- sides, he wants to paint and write and do meteorological research for Pan American Airways.
 And why are you going, Cor don?" the boy was asked
 Well, he replied soberly. I've always been interested in getting away from things"
 At Ubekendt the Rents will be farther north than any other Americans-as far from Rear Ad- nliral Richard E. Byrd as they can possibly get. In recognition of this distinction the General Electric company, which broadcasts pro grams to the Byrd Antarctic ex petition at Little America. will add d program next September for the Rents.

 Moderate selling in cotton forced that commodity down about so cents a bale. July silver gained 5 points Other positions were down. Silk turned down after early strength. Rubber and hides were lower. Sugar was steady and copper firm.

Market Trading Took Another Sudden Drop Late To-day
New England Retail
 Trade Is Fairly Good
General Business Activity is Reasonably Hgh-That Is Weekly Review Report of Dun and Bradstreet Inc

Boston, July 12-(UP)-Retail trade in New England continues moderately good and general busi- ness activity, although subject to seasonal shrinkage, is erasonably high, Dun & Bradstreet, Inch, said today in the weekly review of trade conditions.
 Local wool dealers have ac- quired quite q large amount of ter ritory wool" the review said, but very little of this has passed into second hands, although mill buyers are watching the market Clasely.
 "The market has been slow for more than the usual between-sea- son period, but, as yet, all prices are being held on the current level. Clathing manufacturers are placing orders for woolen fabrics somewhat more freely, although the total volume of business transacted on all grades of wooden cloths has been moderate.
 Cotton goods are moving rather slowly this week and cotton goods production is decreasing. Some of the mills have comparatively few orders on hand. Quotations on few sample numbers have been slightly reduced. Shipments of cot ton yarns during the week on old contracts have been light, and new orders are scarce.
 "A surplus of hides from the cattle slaughtered on account of the drought has depressed the raw skin market, and the outlook IS rather uncertain. Recent openings nf the uev lines hy local shoe man. ufacturers have been well received and many of the leading factories are sold ahead for 50 days rmore. Manufacturers have revised some of their staple lines from 5 to 10 cents downward per pair. Despite lower prices on ram material the leather market is firm.
 "Building contracts awarded during the week made good showing, the total being consid- erably above the average for the year to date, and considerably in excess of 1893 and 1882 figures for the corresponding weeks.
 Furniture manufactures are talk ing fair quantities of stock, and there is some export business. Prices are firm, looking towards in- creased quotations.
 Sales of new automobiles are seasonally declining, although they compare very favorably with last years figures. The tire business is rather slow, and the sale of ac- cessories moderate, but increased gasoline consumption indicates more activity on the part of mo- torists."

Washington, July 12 - .(UP) - The National Recovery Adminis- tration today gave American in- dustry a blanket. order to abide by Blue Eagle rules - and 30 days to make up it's mind.
 There are four courses open to business yet uncodified:
 1. Come under existing codes.
 ?. Produce, new and satisfac- tory codes within the time limit.
 8. Join under a new blanket code for small industries.
 4. Be stubborn and take a chance of having a code imposed at hearings for industries which appear to be .harboring abuses for labor"
 The new orders, signed by Ad- ministrator Hugh s. Johnson be- fore he flew west for com bined speaking and vacation. trip, virtu- ally completed the organization of MIRA and the qualification of indus try. ,
 The major order created the blanket code, intended to end abuses in virtually all of industry operating outside of MIRA. Most businesses which it affects arc small ones, many of which have been wrangling ever since the Blue Eagle was created over their pro- posed codes.
 The, cleanup includes the hog nose ring industry, pretzel manu- featuring. wooden mop handle pro- duction, the circus business, at least 25S other industries which have codes pending, and scores more which so far have ignored the MIRA. ft.
 These uncodified businesses em- ploy about 100000 of the nations 24.O00,000 industrial workers.
 The new code guarantees labor the right to organize, bans child labor. requires safety standards and requires signers to abide by fair practice provisions which may be established later. It leaves minimum wages and maximum hours to the discretion of the in-' dividual industry. with the excep- tion that pay scales and work weeks must correspond with those for related businesses.
 The MIRA announced meantime that about 135 industries had codes in the hopper being per fected.
 The MIRA said the 476 codes now in effect would be merged in as many cases as possible.

HOLLYWOOD HAS BEGUN TO CLEAN
 UP SOME FILTH
Cleaning Process Begins to Work-Theaters Can
 Break Contracts

Hollywood, July 12.-(UP)-In a sweeping concession that may cost $10,0O0,0OO in rentals. lending motion picture studios of Holly wood today granted theaters the right to break block booking" of films where legitimate protests arise against individual pictures on moral grounds. The agreement af- fects all pictures contracted for prior to July 15, 1884. It involves approximately 1000 pictures--Hol- lywood's total output in the last two years and comprising most of the films still being exhibited,4
 The action marks the first con- cession Tn history by studios in al- lowing theaters to drop any single picture. Block booking. which Is the name applied to the rule that theater must buy n company's entire film output to get its best pictures, will be continued after July 15 under the new self-censor- ship program. Meantime, under the guidance of Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors associa- tion, the studios went over plans for the one-man censorship to be established soon. Joseph I. Breen, Hays assistant, will pass on all future pictures.
 It Is Not Enough
 New York, July l2-UP)- Fearful that Joseph I. Breen's new powers as movoie censor will not be sufficient to convince Mae West that Ut Amt No Sin," the com mittee sponsoring the Legion of Decency meets to-day to draft its own recommendations on how to make. clean pictures. ea
 The committee will ignore the Will Hays organization and carry the recommendations directly to the producers. a,,- ,.a
 "Last nights statement from the Hays organization shows that 1t would be utterly futile to pre- sent our suggestions to that or ganizaton," explained Rabbi Sid- ney E.. Goldstcin. member of the committee, designated to ne- gotiate for a meeting with film producers.
 He referred to statement from Hollywood announcing that block booking restrictions would be lift ed to a certain extent on films produced prior to July IS, and that rBeen would "be sure good taste will be of paramount impor- tance in the pictures to be re- leased in the future."
 "All that it means" Goldstein said. "is that exhibitors in commit mites which protest against the showing of a certain picture in their local theaters may return the picture without paying it's cost. At the present time they must pay"

BY ELMER c. WAIZER United Press Financial Editor

New York, July 12-OP)-- Trading on the stock exchange to- day fell below the half-million share mark after two sessions with 65O,0OO shares each. Prices turned irregular in stocks and reactionary in most commodities.
 Today's volume was in marked contrast with that of exactly year ago when the market was ap- preaching it's 1883 peak touched on July IS. Sale on July 12. 1893. totaled 5,185,410 shares. The daily average for July 1883. was over the ,5.000. 900 share mark.
 Nothing of market significance in the news accounted, for the change in attitude of trades today. They were more cautious because they had seen the averages get to present levels on several other oc- casions recently only to back away again in renewed lethargy. There still is Q tendency to await definite rulings by the securities and ex- change commission.

GUN GIRL MEETS
 DEATH AT HANDS
 OF PRISON GUARD
Helen Spence Eaton Had Killed Two Men in Her
 Bad Career

Jacksonville, Ark, July 12- (UP)-The body of Helen Spence Eaton, Arkansas bad girl. was dressed in feminine frills today for burial in the graveyard of the state prison for women.
 She wore blue overalls and a blue shirt when she was killed by a prison guard yesterday. She never cared much for fancy clothes. She had killed two men.
 Helen's body was filled with buckshot. a day after she escaped for the fourth time from the pris- on farm. She carried six shooter and had left note at the prison that she would never be captured alive. Guard Frank Martin. mem- Der of the posse that found her a few miles away. used his shot gun because she failed to halt when commanded.
 Helen was 22 and killed her first man when she was IS. Jack Worls was on trial in Edwitt, Ark, charged with the murder of her father. Helen shot him in the courtroom but served only a few years before she was paroled to return to Dewitt. Jim Bohots, Greek restauranteur, was her next victim. She killed him, she ex- plained. because she resented his advances. She received a 21 year sentence for that.
 She had been in prison the sec ond time only short while when she escaped. A few days later she returned because she was tired. A few months later she escaped again but returned when her conscience started bothering her. When she escaped the third time. blood hounds tracked her down. Tester day she feigned illness and was excused from duty in the straw berry patch. In departing from prison she paused to steal the re. volver of the guard who later killed her
 Helen was blonde. blue eyed, and of slender lines. People who knew her in Dewitt considered her right pretty.
