Window of Room From Which
Jewelry Was Taken.

BY the Associated Press.
RUMSON, N. j., April 17-Detec-
tives investigating the robbery of
$4,000 worth of jewels from the
home of Edward w. Scudder. Newark
publisher, last night said they had
found marks under the window Of a
second-foor bed room from which the
gems were taken
The discovery apparently supported
an earlier police theory that the thief
had gained entrance to the room by
climbing up trelhs and caused them
to abandon theory that the robbery
may have been an Inside job"
The robbery is believed to have been
committed Saturday at a time when
Mr.. and Mrs. Scudder were entertain
ing six guests. About 20 servants were
in the house at the time
A police guard was placed last night
at the home of John Doeg, Sc,ldder's
son-in-law and former national tennis
champion, who lives with his wife and
a small baby in a house on the Scud-
der estate near the main mansion.

SHOWN BY PRESS
Increases Seen in CircuIa-
ton and Advertising
Throughout Nation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 17.-Increases
in newspaper circulation and adver-
tising over the country in the last few
months tell a story of business up
turn.
These figures, one index to trade
conditions, show that in the wake of
increased employment, trade is on the
increase.
A general survey shows that many
newspapers have an all-time high in
circulation, and that circulation now
is about 10 per cent higher than at
this time last year, according to S.
P. Weston. newspaper analyst.
Retail Lineage Up.
Retail advertising lineage, another
business barometer, also shows gains
over last year. Statistics of Media
Records, Inc. reveal that newspaper
retail advertising gained 37.6 per cent
in March over the same month last
year.
This month-by-month comparison
shows a climb in the lineage increase,
going from 81 per cent gain in jan
uary to Is per cent increase in Feb
ruary-a gain more than doubled in
March.
Retail advertising figures indicate
that business uptLrn began in Au-
gust, 1888. That month showed the
first gain over the previous year.
The increase In "help wanted" ad-
tv,I,{ al. r,,attntaI IN
New York City from "a per cent in
January to As per cent in February
and 78 per cent in March over the
same month last year-indicates that
increased employment is preceding
the trade upturn and clearing the way
for the business advance.
The help wanted" lineage in New
York has shown steady pickup
from November. 1888. through March.
Media Records, Inc. reports: Every
one of our SO chart cities shows gain
in March over last year in total ad-
vertising"
Gains in Five Key Cities.
Here are the March retail advertis-
ing gains in five key cities, over the
same month last year, as reported
by Media Records:
New York, 28.1 per cent; Chicago
359 per cent; St Louis. 31.l per cent
Los Angeles, 30.4 per cent; New Or
leans. 56.9 per cent.
Newspaper advertising by women's
speciality stores shows more pro-
nounced gains in the five key cities
for March, over March last year:
New York, 47.4 per cent; Chicago
1863 per cent; ST. Louis, 48 per cent
Los Angeles, 1868 per cent; New Or
leans, 144 per cent.
Women's specially store advertising
Weston pointed out, is among the best
business barometers."
Retail shoe advertising in March. In
the five key cities, showed these gains
over March last year:
New York, 80l per cent; Chicago
It'll per cent: St. Louis, 95.8 per
cent; Los Angeles. 1899 per cent; New
Orleans, 69.3 per cent
Part of the newspaper circulation
increase Weston attributed to "a new
newspaper reading technique"-a
widespread demand for information
and increased interest in public af-
fairs.

D. c. RELIEF SHARE
SET AT S2,522,5D5
Hopkins Announces Sum
Was Federal Grant to
D. c. in 1893.

Out Of total Of S792, ,786,716 Of
public funds from all sources ex-
pended for direct unemployment re-
lief in 1888 the District of Columbia
received a share Of s2,522 ,5O55O.
Expenditures for the first two
months Of this year increase the total
for relief in the District by SPOT, ,536
in January and S368,252. These lat
ter figures for local relief, however,
are preliminary estimates. For the
entire country, the relief bill mounted
S52,903,736 in January of this year
and s53, ,408 sos.
In announcing the figures for ma
tional relief, Harry L. Hopkins, emer-
gency relief administrator. pointed
out that they did not include approx
imately 100000 expended by the
Civil Works Administration before
it folded up April /.
Although refusing to give any
specific figures. Hopkins indicated
that present relief funds will run
out before next Winter. He also re-
fused to say what share he has re-
quested Of the new relief appropria-
tons being sought from Congress.
Hopkins did say, however, that the
Emergency Relief Administration on
April l had only s45O, 900 900 left of
the s950,000,0o0 appropriation made
by Congress. Relief in April, he
added, probably ,would cost, 500 OOo.-
900. This 1s the highest figure for
any month since the Federal Gov
ernment began contributing or lend
ing funds for relief.
He believes the relief load will be-
gin to drop in May and If the nor
NAL course of recession is followed
he said August and September will
see a decline of about one-third in
the number now on relief rolls.
The peak relief month in the Dis
trict of Columbia last year was Octo-
Der when s3l5.211 was spent. This
was exceeded by approximately $50
600 last February.

When Lenin became dictator of the
Soviet Republics, Bluecher was sent to
a military academy, and upon leaving
that school, without waiting for any
other promotion, he was sent to COM
mand the army which was fighting
the Chinese in Mongolia. He defeated
them. Later, in 1925, he was loaned
to the Chinese government and he is
chiefly responsible for the military Or
ganization of the army of Chang Kai
Shek, the only real army which exists
in China today. Upon his return to
Russia he was appointed commander
in chief of the Far Eastern army and
the eyes of Russia are turned toward
him to resist any attempt of tie Japa-
nese against Siberia.
Despite their apparent freedom
Soviet diplomats are subject to GER
tain stringent rules.
To begin with, Moscow never sends
bachelors to diplomatic post abroad.
Then, they must all live together.
If the embassy is too small to offer
them adequate quarters they take a
house large enough to accommodate
them all.
Finally, there Is always a janitor
or butler, as the case may be, who,
while doing the menial services for
which he is hired, also sends direct
reports to the G. P. U. about the
activities of the members of the Soviet
diplomatic mission.

Retail Sales Show
Rise In October

Washington. - Retail sale.
throughout the country swung
higher during the first half of DC,
.tober, according to an analysis
made by the National Retail Dry
Goods Association.
In a mid-monthly survey among
stores in Is representative cite.
the association estimated that de-
partment store dollar sales through
the country as a whole increased
approximately 8 percent in the
first 10 shopping days of October
as compared to the similar period
in October 1888. This gain fol
lows a 4-percent increase in depart
ment store sales in September COM
pared with September 1888, as re-
ported by the Federal Reserve.
What was considered of especial
significance in the results of the
poll was a considerable increase in
the number of unit sales in the re-
porting stores. The association
figured the countrywide increase
in transactions for the first half of
October as against last year a.
mounted to SIS percent-probably
the greatest advance in this figure
achieved over a period of many
months.

In sharp contrast with the au-

Retail trade has quickened mar
kelly in the past 10 weeks, prom
pting merchants to prepare for the

four years.
November and December are
normally months of s~lackening op-

but the strength of the current Sit
uation leads business analysts to
look for the smaller than usual
year-end let down in manufacture
ing, while goods already produced
are distributed to eager Christmas
shoppers.
This is because inventories in
most business lines have been sharp
ly reduced and consumer demand
should penetrate quickly to the
manufacturer. The situation was
different at this time last
year. Industry has just come

stimulation, as goods were

Annual Red Cross Roll
Call Began Wednesday

w1rAEAEL AAzr.
The annual canvass for Rex
Cross membership began Wednes-
day and will continue through
Thanksgiving, and an intensive
campaign is to be launched to Sc
cure memberships in the organiza-
ton.
Leaders Of the drive this year an
ticipate a usual enthusiastic re-
spouse from the citizens of Sails
bury and the county, who have in
the past subscribed heartily to the
work which the Red Gross has car
ried on in relieving distress.
More volunteers are needed for
the canvass, states Mrs. G. F. Con
rad, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, where the headquarters
of the Red Cross will be maintain
ed. Anyone desiring to cooperate
with the sponsors of the drive can
telephone 35S, supplies and infor-
mation my be obtained at this Of
flee.
Five outstanding services make
up the ealth-conservation pro-
gram of the American Red Gross.
according to the annual report just
issued in Washington. These- Scr
vices are first aid and life saving,
which together have trained more
than a million persons; nursing,
with an active enrolment of &c.

for the sick at home.
The achievements of the Rec
Cross in public health nursing plac,
it among the leaders in this field
|"This service was organized il
1919 to meet needs developed b,
the World War and the ravages Of
the flu epidemic which in 1e1S-ls
took 50 great a toll of life.
Since that time Red Gross nurs-
ing services have been pioneers in
more than one-half of the counties
in the United States"
RED Gross courses in home by
giene and care of the sick are es-
|pecially important in times of de-
preston, because they teach families
to maintain hygiene conditions in
their homes and to recognize symp-
toms of illness early enough to pre-
vent serious consequences.
"Our courses in first aid have
been instrumental in saving lives
of the injured; in safeguarding the
accident victim until the physician
arrives and in reducing time lost
by workers in factories, mines and
other industries. We are also Civ
ing the course extensively to police
and fire departments throughout
the country, and to state highway
patrols"
Everyone is invited to join the
Red Gross during the annual MEM
bership roll call which continues
to Thanksgiving, to have a part in
the health program and the other
humanitarian services of the Red
Cross.

Unemployment
: Insurance To
I Be On Program
Recommendation To Be
Made To Next
Congress
STATES HAVE PART

Washington.-President Roose-
welt announced in a brief speech
that he would ask the next Congress
to enact legislation providing for
unemployment insurance.
Mr.. Roosevelt's address was
made before a gathering of his eco
nomic security committee and the
recently named advisory committee
to the original body.
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted that some
months ago he began the work of
making a beginning in the task
of providing social insurance for
the American citizens. Speaking to
members of the committee before
him, he said:
II have not changed my opin-
ion. | shall have recommendation
on this subject to present to the
incoming Congress. :.
"On some points it is possible to
be definite. Unemployment insur-
ance will be in the program"
Mi. Roosevelt, in his address, re-
iterated his earlier expressed view
that unemployment in c e
should be a cooperative undertals-
ling in which both the Federal Coz
eminent and the 4S states have a
| part.

only witness for the prosecution.
Mr.. Doughton stated that he was
walking down street alone when he
heard some one behind him max
ing abusive remarks anent the
cotton BILL" The word "robber'
and other words of like character
were included. Mr.. Doughtou
stated that at first he believed some
of his friends were talking in a
joking manner, but when Blalock
came up beside him and continued
in the same vein, he saw that Bla-
lock was in an angry mood. H
said that Blalock kept saying that
a man who would rob the farmers
as he had done should be beaten
up, and that he believed he would
do it. About that time," said the
congressman, "Blalock took hold Of
my coat and struck me twice in the
face. l struck him back once OF
twice, and he then pulled away
from me and went on out into the
street, whereupon | told him te
come on back and that we would

Bankhead Act
To Be Amended
Kerr Given Assurances
Changes In Law Be
Considered

Washington. - c g r essman
John H. Kerr of Warrenton, N. c.,
was given assurance here that Off
Gals of the agricultural administra-
ton will begin at once a survey and
a series of conferences looking to
amendments hat will make more
workable the present Bankhead cot
ton control act.
Judge Kerr, author of the bill
for controlling the production of
tobacco, also conferred with ]. B.
Hudson, in charge of tobacco and
peanuts, and was told that a poll
of the growers will be taken at
once to determine whether they
want the law continued after 1885.
In a statement, Judge Kerr said:
II came here to confer, among
others, with Senator Bankhead
with reference to amending his
control c so that it will provide
a more equitable plan for the cot
ton growers of North Carolina.
ut is my opinion that the pres
emit arrangement must be changed
considerably. | personally favor
the acreage control plan and will
discuss this with growers in the
state next week when c. A. Cobb,
cotton, authority for che aericul-
ttral administration, goes 20 North
Carolina for a conference.
II anticipate some objection to
the acreage plan from the south
western sections, of course, but the
greater poundage we make in North
Carolina is offset by the greater
economy of production in Texas
and Oklahoma"
| AS for the result Of the election
he continued:
More than at any time since he
took office, the President will have
behind him a sympathetic con-
gress. Our people, perhaps a little
more than those in some other sec
tons, know that the New Deal
has started us we'll on the way to
recovery. There's much to be done
yet and the election is a mandate
from the people to the congress to
jgive renewed support to the Presi-
dent"
