ABANDONMENT
Of GOLD AID
To RECOVERY
BY RICHARD L. GRTDLEY
UP Financial Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The
first anniversary tomorrow of the
official abandonment of the gold
standard by the United States found
increasing signs of recovery in the
wake of President RooSevelt's revo-
lutionary monetary action.
Whether or not attributable to
the administrations monetary pro-
gram, it was evident today that eco
nomic depression has lightened in
the past II months.
Business activity is increasing,
employment is gaining, and bank
deposits are growing in sharp con-
trast to the situation a year ago.
The extent to which forced depre-
ciation of the dollar has contribu-
ted to these economic gains is de-
bated by economists. That it was an
important factor is not disputed,
however.
Unofficial figures based on fed
eral reserve board statistics today
showed business activity % per cent
above a year ago; employment up 81
per cent and payrolls up Al per
cent.
Construction contracts awarded
show a gain of 181 per cent; car
loadings, II per cent; department
store sales, II per cent; U. S. Ex-
ports, 54 per cent; U. S. Imports, so
per cent; wholesale commodity pri-
ces, 25 per cent and retail food
prices, 20 per cent.

HAS ANYONE SEEN ANYTHING OF
THAT PURP GINGGINGGOOFUS'?

Here il is BE Kind to Animals
Week and everyone being urged to
be good to our dumb friends and
look what they've gone and done, "
walled Fred Nebel-Thau, exalted ru-
Ter of the Elks lodge, today.
They've kidnapped or dognaped
'Gigginggoofus' on me. and your pa
per is really to blame for it," the
head of the ElkS charged.
Here the Press man thought he
was doing the ElkS favor by giving
their pooch some publicity and the
crack the exalted ruler made is
strenuously resented.
We happened to see the hound
yesterday, inquired about him, as
any newspaperman would have
done, and decided he rated a little
bit of printers ink.
IF you birds hadn't been so smart
'Gigginggoofus' would still be boost
ing our charity dance Saturday
night. Now some smart Aleck has
swiped him and he can't be loca-
ted was Mr.. Nebel-Thau's next
statement.
We ventured the opinion that a
purp with a name like that ought to
be shot, not dognaped, even if the
week is dedicated to kindness to ami
mails. The opinion was tactical er-
ror.
That's just the point" Mr.. Ne
bel-Thau said. I'VE planned to let
the dancers give him a new name

GUARD SLAYER
FROM CROWD

SHREVEPORT, La, April 18. U.H
National guardsmen maintained
a close guard around the county
Jail today following two futile ef-
forts by a mob to storm the build
ing and take Fred .Lockhart, 38,
accused of numbering a 15-year-old
girl
To forestall possibility of another
mob gathering, Sheriff Hughes
spoke over local radio station soon
after last night IS mob had dispers-
ed.
"If Lockhart is taken out of my
Jail, it will be over my dead body" "
he said.
At the height of last night IS tur-
moil, more than 5000 persons were
packed in the streets around the
court house. Sheriff's deputies
armed with machine guns and
rifles guarded the doors and the
small elevator to the jail on the
seventh and eighth floors. The au-
tomato sprinkling sytsam o. the
court house lawn was going full
blast and fire trucks were at the
corners of the squere, their hoses
connected to water hydrants and
nozzles trained on the crowd.
The mob began gathering soon
after police announced that Lock-
hart had confessed that he stabbed
Mae Griffin, Is, and had assaulted
her. The girl IS body was found in
the woods. Lockhart, an itinerant
peddler, living in a hobo jungle
near here had been arrested on
suspicion
Imperial Valley press., 1934-04-18

"How long since the merry little
bell-ringer has disturbed you?'
asked "Bin" Dollar. "The suave.
sleek slicker who rings your bell
and tells you how he can under
sell the home merchant on silk
hoisery, ladies wearing apparel,
men IS clothes. haberdashery, jewel
ry, household goods, furniture,
medicine, toilet goods, books, auto
accessories and many other goods?
"He steps into Ell Centre, this
business boot-legger-as strang-
er, representing as rule, an un-
known concern. He comes to your
door unasked, often disturbing you
when you do not want to be dis
turbed and offers you merchandise
for sale, and expects you, an in
telligent person, to accept as a fact
the word of an unknown concern
and tries to induce you to sign an
order blank and make an initial
payment to him-a total stranger.
Assuring tn t this peddling
itinerant is honest the lady of the
house receives her merchandise a
few days or weeks later. 1t may
not fit or it may not be what was
ordered, or it may not come up to
the peddler's representations, but
it requires a lot of correspondence
to get the matter adjusted.
"How are you going to receive
them, Mr.. and Mrs. Ell Centre?
Will you fall for their blarney and
their Establishments and send lots
of Bill Dollars away from the city
for things that you could buy as
well or better at home? No one
wants to tell you where to spend
your money, but your own common
sense should guide you in your
dealings with these strangers.
"Take, for instance, the incon-
sistency of their main selling talk
that they can sell at small mar
gin of profit because they repre-
sent the manufacturers direct. The
truth of the matter is that they
took their peddling job because
they were offered big profits and
the first payment you make is
their commission land sometimes
only part of it for they get mere
later for goods that you have nev-
er seen, with only the promise of
a man or woman you never saw be-

Saturday night and were going to
have a lot of fun out of it. Now
you've spoiled it all"
"All right, We'll try to help you
out. Well put a piece in the paper
reporting him lost and maybe you'll
get him back" we said, trying to
do the right thing.
He isn't lost, he's dognaped," in
sisted Mr.. Nebel-Thau, who seemed
proud to use the new word which
he claimed he invented but which
was originated tby a newspaper
mani in Chicago several weeks ago.
We asked where "Gigginggoofus
was last seen and were informed he
was parked outside Wilson school
during last nights concert. AS that
was no place for dog to be we
said as much and Mr.. Nebel-Thau
got mad.
You got any suspicious as to the
culprit?" we asked.
Everyone in the valley directory
and those not in it, every one in
the world, in fact, is suspected the
exalted ruler informed us.
ANY particular suspects?" we
wanted to know.
Yes, the very guys who as peace
officers and good Elks should have
guarded him-George Campbell,
Sterling Oswalt, Bill Tackett. Jack
Tackett, Lee Nuffer, ct al, ct cetera
and so on Mr.. Nebel-Thau said.
Has anyone seen "Giggingoofus"

in that city.
The board discussed the merits
of this proposal for quite soma
time and finally Director Kalir
made motion that the board take
immediate action on the question
and locate the plant in Brawley

rector Young.

that proceedings in this matter
should not be rushed, presented a

revolution which DR.. William A.
Writ recently said was threatening
the nation already is at hand, For
mer Governor William E. Sweet of
Colorado, a spokesman for the ad-

make for the security of all people

the recovery program.
Liberty and freedom are rela-
tive terms Sweet said. 1.-The fruits
of liberty and freedom are not for a
favored few, but for all the people.
The time has come when the chan

Peacock Cries
Turn Out Cops

A call to police headquarter at
7:3O last night by H. w. Fawcett,
member of the city council, brought
Officers Tackett and Harris to the
neighborhood of the Bright pack
ing shed, 245 Orange, where, it was
supposed, one or several murders
were taking place.
Screams and gurgling cries were
coming from the neighborhood
which lent credence to the belief
that foul crime was in the making
The officers investigated and found
that the screams emanated from
the throats of two peacocks which
were being kept in ,the packing
shed.
Tackett reported that "he silenced
the birds by plucking few feath-
ers from their tails and the deep
mystery was solved.
