GARDEN

By all odds, one of the most un- usual and dramatically gripping of the pictures of jungle life to come to the screen, Is Found Alive" which opened at the New Garden theater last night.
 The real human interest of the drama, however, is when the boy, lured by the jungle sirens. is on the point of "going native." and the mother realizes that she must take him away from the perils of the exotic and savage region.

tified members of families who have up to now been forced to subsist on direct relief or dole.
 "The foregoing statement contains an important term: certified It is often misunderstood, and, because it is so important to the operation of the WPA, it merits explanatory treatment.
 The WPA gradually took form as a definite mode of attack on lln- employment. This administration had courageous predecessors in the work of getting actual money and the necessities for life to those who would have perished without them. Prominent agencies which carried on this work in addition to local welfare organizations were the Civil Works and the Federal Emergency Relief Administrations.
 "No matter how vast and readily available a welfare agency's re- sources might be, no matter how efficient its machinery for distribu- tion, the whole purpose of welfare work would be defeated if these re- sources did not reach the proper persons.
 Accordingly there was needed the investigation of cases. .. This func- tion became the duty of welfare agencies whose social workers de- termined the need of families as far as could be done. Each case was recorded with one important point always in mind: Which members of this family are capable of working? Another item directly following the above was: Of those capable of working, which one person in this family holds the senior position?
 When that last question had been the agency had a record Of the person whose status was what is termed first priority An able bodied adult son or daughter ranks in priority over a mother with younger children to concern her."
 In conclusion, it is stated that this proces is not meant to be a strait jacket index system. It strives to provide intelligently for the changing states of those whom it was set up to serve. Its aim is to see that aid is given to those who need it."

Answering growing volume of complaints in regard to the dif1culty of obtaining employment on the WPA from needy, unmarried men, the oficial publication of the Works Progress Administration in Connec- ticut, released by state headquarters today, contains detailed account of certification requirements.
 The article provides logical ar- swer to individual criticism voiced in Waterbury during the past week by ex-servicemen. It reads, in part, as follows:
 Although the activities (of the WPA) are varied, a singleneSs of purpose dominates the works pro- gram, namely: to start employable persons on the road to permanent employment in other agencies. The means being used consist of putting to work, and paying wages to, cer-

Market Favorites.

NEW YORK, January 31.-The stock
market pointed moderately higher TO-
day IN continuation of the recent
dull spell. The late tone was steady.
Gains of fractions to around point
were recorded by United States Steel,
Union Pacific, General Motors, Johns
Manville, United Aircraft and Amer
lean Can. Transfers approximated
$4,000 shares.
A much better tone was displayed by
commodities. Corn led a rally in
grains at Chicago and cotton i'm
proved. Bonds were quiet, although
scattered recoveries were noted among
some of the secondary groups. United
States Government loans we're inclined
to ease. The principal European gold
currencies moved against the dollar.
Shares up fractionally to around a

COTTON |SL|KELY
TO CAUSE TROUBLE
Marked Sag in Shipments of
Raw Materials Stirs
Discomfort.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,

A marked trend toward a decline in
United States exports of raw mate
rials, in contrast with expanding ship
ments of manufactured goods, has
touched off political rumblings.
In clinic on cotton exports con-
Quoted by the Senate Agricultural
Committee, discomfort of some farm
and shipping interests over the loss of
foreign markets has been brought to
q focus.
Some trade observers in the Capital
expect to hear more political reper-
cussions should the current trend
show no sign of turning.
Cotton is the pivot of the situation,
although latest trade figures of the
Department of Commerce show cur
tailment in exports of leaf tobacco,
coal, crude petroleum, meat and other
exports outside the manufactured
classification.
AS indicated by 1884 trade statistics,
revaluation of the dollar has benefited
chiefly exports Of automobiles, ma
chinery, steel, radios, farm equipment
and other manufactured anu Selll-
manufactured goods.
With the rise of commodity prices
following depreciation of the dollar,
the purchasing power of some Of this
country's best foreign markets ex-
banded and the United States became
a cheaper market to buy manufactured
goods in. Trade experts cite that as
the chief explanation for the improve
ment in sales of manufactured goods.
Cotton and machinery exports Of
fered striking contrasts.
Whereas the quantity of cotton ex-
ports last year dropped 80 per cent to
the lowest level since 1928, machinery
and vehicle exports rose in value to
$435 900 900 from $236, 700 900 in 1888,
an increase of "a per cent. In value
cotton exports were only 6 per cent
lower. Automobile exports doomed,
accounting for nearly half the trade
recorded under the head Of machinery
and vehicle exports.
