Mr.. CASTOR looks nebulous, and
Hkes to discuss the Einstein theory
more than anything in the world.
He appears cold and aloof, but
has the reputation around the
Treasury Department Of being a
Irregular guy"
Speaking Of Mr.. CASTOR, re-
minds us that he gave a job to
o down-and-out newspaper man,
whom he had never met before
the application. He's supposed to
ID a very human person.
The boys in the know at the
Treasury Department say he has
given Mr.. Morgenthau many true
steers. .-.
Russell Magill, assistant to Sec
retary Morgenthau, has the repu-
tation Of being one Of the coun.
try's leading experts on taxation.
He looks like a schoolboy, but,
In reality, he's 38 years old.
Louis w. Laudick, resident
partner Of Fennere & Beane, is
on his way back to Washington
to begin active duty here. He's
been down Florida way for some
time and is said to be stopping
off in Atlanta and other way
points before getting back to the
grind.
Here's the newest story being
told about Alexander McCook
Dunlop, formerly with the ''fold-
ed Goodbody establishment, and
now with Hemphill, Noyes and
Company.
It seems that Mr.. Dunlop is a
bowler Of parts, shooting in the
low zoos.
He's a Princeton alumnuS, and
ct present, after office hours, is
doing everything in his power to
promote the status of the Prince
ton team, which is entered in
the intercollegiate alumni bowl
ing tournament.
Friends of Mr.. Dunlop say he
Is a great bowler and is the spark
plug Of his team.
Other friends, however, say that
he is not a great bowler, but g.
great actor. They say he's pull.
ing this bowling stunt so that he
can get a night off from home.
What do you think?
Marshall Exnicios tells a good
one on himself. He's vice presi-
dent Of Robert c. Jones & Co.,
INC.
Mr.. Exnicios is a great horse
man. He likes to ride and he
Nkes to be around the animals.
The other day an attendant
was grooming one his horses,
when Mr.. Exnicios appeared on
the scene. -..
Impatient to get started, Mr..
Exnicios started to comb the
horses tail. Wham! Bang!
That was the horse being impa-
Hent. He was kicking with both
hind feet. Fortunately, Mr.. Exni-
clos had no vulnerable spot ex-
posed. All damage was to an in.
dex finger, which fortunately was
not broken. It's badly swollen,
though.
Asked why he put himself in
such a spot, Mr.. Exnicios said:
'"The faults all mine. / knew
my horse was o kicker"
SportsmanShip, eh what?
Local bankers are expressing
keen interest in the Glass bill, now
before Congress, which would per-
init industrial establishments to
borrow directly from the Federal
Reserve banks in their district.
Most Of the local bankers think it
would be a great stunt, since, as a
guile, most banks restrict loans,
and industries need plenty Of
money to carry on the tremendous
overhead established under NRA
regulations.

Gets Compliment

The Imperial Valley Hardware

that the I. v. Hardware CO. has
sold more products of the COM
pany in 1888 than any store in

cal firm is only 10 per cent under
the largest furniture store in San
Diego, yet the valley firm has q
population of 10000 only to sell to
as compared to San Diego's pop
