claim that the lifting of the $780,
900 was done purely in the spirit
Of a modern Robin Hood and the
thought of anything really dis
honest was farthest from their
minds when the crime was COM
mitted.
Their main concern, however,
seems a fear that the police will
venture forth on the robber
search, improperly clad, and con-
tract colds, athletes foot, or
something equally dreadful. Their
note added:
Kindly tell the Richmond
police after the weather gets

MILK IS URGED
At ALL MEALS

How to feed a family on a we'll
balanced but inexpensive diet Is
the latest study of the Department
of Agriculture.
Make sure that children have
milk, and everybody has bread,
during every meal. says the
Bureau of Home Economics.
Every day each person should
be served milk in some form, the
advice continues, as well as a
cereal in porridge or pudding, po-
tatoes, tomatoes or oranges, a
green or yellow vegetable and a
fruit or additional vegetable.
From two to four times a week,
add the nutrition experts, every
body in the family should be given
tomatoes, dried beans and peas or
peanuts, eggs, and lean meat, fish,
poultry or cheese.

A drive to compel a number OF
large industrial corporations to
disclose the salaries paid their
executives was announced today
by Senator Costigan CD Of Colo
RADIO, author of the Senate reSo-
luton which forced publication
Of several lists of industrial,
utility and banking payrolls.
His decision was prompted by
the action of General Motors,
General Aviation, Studebaker
Corporation and American Can in
denying the power Of the Federal
Trade Commission to secure 8

Gently informed the Senate it did
have the necessary power, but
lacked funds to secure the infor-
nation.
Will Seek Funds
Senator Costigan will offer an
amendment to the deficiency ap-
preparation bill, authorizing the
funds needed by the commission
TO obtain the salary information.
The Federal Power Commission,
the RFC, and the Federal Reserve
Board have made separate reports
to the Senate, in response to
Senator Costigan'S original resolu-
&on. No resistance was en-.
Oountered by these government
agencies.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported that ten bankers drew
salaries Of 100000 or more year
and that $40 bankers drew $25, 900
o. more annually. The highest
paid banker was H. c. Nc
Eldowney, president Of the Union
Trust Company, Pittsburgh, who
drew $3.50 in 1888, and the
next was Winthrop W. Aldrich,
head of Chase National Bank,
New York, who was paid $151,744.
$4,000 Highest in Utilities
In the utility field, as reported
by the Federal Power Commits
sion, the highest salary-of $72,-
OOO-waS paid w. c. Bayliss,
president, Edison Electric Com
pany, Boston, in 1928. He drew
but $4,000 in 1893. The highest
lASt year was $67,500 paid A. F.
Hockenbeamer, president, by the
Niagara Falls Power Company.
Harvey c. Couch, now an RFC di-
rector, drew $69,993 in salaries
last year from three different
light and power companies.
Aside from the four industrial
corporations, which refused to
produce their salary records, 19
more failed to make returns.

his next manager-even if he
knows now who it will be, which
I don't think he does.
If Griff doesn't assume an
evasive attitude about his next

months, he should have his

he didn't keep the fans in sus-

This writer sees victory for both
local schools, with Catholic Uni
Versity's margin greater than that
of Georgetown.
University of Maryland, which
played such brilliant football
against Navy two weeks ago, fig
ures in an important intersectional
battle. The Terps will face the
University of Florida Gators in the
Baltimore Stadium.
This should be one of the out
standing struggles of the day with
both teams flashing a brilliant
brand of aerial football. Florida
has used the pass with spectacular
results this year. Although de-
feated by Tulane, the Gators
gained 2O9 yards against the Green
Wave of New Orleans.
Good Match for Brown
Jack Stonebreaker, the kid who
tossed off his blanket to ride to
glory against Navy through the
air will be a good match for the
dynamic War Brown who is the
outstanding point manufacturer
in Florida this year. In fact,
Brown is the leading point maker
in the Flower State since 1881.

Terps is another young man who
may bother the Gators no little,

the plunging technique of a senior.
This game should give the Monu-
mental City it's full quota OF thrills.
The game that holds all the
color and glory of football at us
hest will bring Yale and Army
together in the Yale Bowl. The
Bulldog, beaten by Columbia
came back to trim Penn and then
ran riot over Brown. 1t is team
that evidently found itself in the
last 10 days and figures to give
Army the battle of its life.
West Point has won its four
games, but in none of these did
it find a real test. 1t is going into
the Yale game with a strong
confidence that Army always rises
to beat the Bulldog. But I re-
member a day when Albie Booth
ran wild off the Eli tackles and
Army took fearful lacing. Yale
has a great aerial display ready
for the game today and may shoot
the works.
Navy, which like Army is un'
beaten, goes into action with
Pennsylvania at Franklin Field
and there is little cause for alarm
there. If Penn should rally to
win it would be something more
than a surprise. That would be

ceaseless, restless, enervating
perpetual motion which is a

Then too, there is the civic
shock that is entailed when a
diamond hero is shunted away
from the moorings which saw
him bloom into full achievement
and otherwise become the toast
of the town and the idol of the
boulevards.
Oh. my friends and fellow pa.

No Cause For Grief
Yet. it is my conviction that
no such moaning is in order

merchandising.
I think Washington will have
