Topping the list of products for
which increased world demand was
reported were cotton, automobiles,
machinery and petroleum products.
Our export trade was still ham,
pered by quotas, exchange controls
and other import restrictions" the
review said. In some nations these
and other efforts to build up self
sufficiency, particularly in products of
the soil, limited our trade"
Restrictions Removed.
"Our Governments reciprocal trade
agreements policy. however, has been
removing some of these restrictions"
the report added.
Measured by value, 68 per cent Of
100 leading exports showed increases
over 1884, and So per cent gained

DR.. MITCHELL
MODELS SHIPS
FOR HOBBY

The restrictions that come Of
living in a rather narrow room at
Children's Hospital make it i'm
possible for DR.. r. N. Mitchell,
resident physician at the hospital,
to go in for large model ship con-
struction.
And, besides, he likes miniature
models.
Take, for instance, his full-rigged
clipper Ship-all Of two inches in
length. It certainly can't boast
size, but it's perfect in every de-
tail. About his hobby, Dr.. Mitchell
has this to say:
''I've been interested in ships
ever since was knee high to q
grasshOpper, and I've been mod
cling ships ever since / was in
gramImef school.
s'But when started going to
college, and ever since then, I've
lived in rather confined quar-
ters, with the result that even
II had wanted to build large
ship models, I wouldn't have
had the space.
'sNOw build these little fel-
lows. They are much more con-
venient to build and certainly
much more convenient to keep.
I store them under the bed and
under the bureau.
There's another reason why
I've been attracted to these tiny
ships. They're harder to make"
The pride of DR.. Mitchelrs col
lection is four-masted bark un-
der. full sail with a microscopic
crew on board. He has also con-
structed a six-inch model Of the
Queen Mary, the rigging Of which
is made Of unraveled surgicel silk,
which Is two-thirds the thickness
of one human hair.
When he goes home to stanford,
Conn.,, where he has more room,
he works on a larger model Of the
Bounty, to which he was attracted
by the romance in its history. He
has already completed the Boun-
tvs launch, the one in which the
villainouS Captain Bligh was
afloat for thousands Of miles.

FOE OF SINGLE
MORTGAGES
ASSAILED

Lashing out at critics Of the ad-
ministration's single mortgage
policy, Federal Housing Admins
traitor Stewart Mcdonald last
night charged L. A. Mclean, presi-
dent Of the Mortgage Bankers
Association Of America, with sum
ScrupulouS Misrepresentation"
Mclean had criticized the single
mortgage plan, fostered by the
Housing Administration and the
Home Owners Loan Corporation,
and declared it forced the ma
tion'S banks into an unSound in
vestment policy. Mcdonald, In a
statement. said:
'Mr. Mclean Is the chief
spokesman Of q rapidly dwin-
ding group Of mortgage lenders
whose unsOund methods helped
to precipitate the real estate
debacIe Of 1882 and necessitated
Federal relief through the Home
Owners Loan Corporation to the
extent Of nearly three billion
dollars. They see visions Of .
return to the lush years Of 5 to
10 per cent mortgage money
with cunningIy hidden devices
for snaring the unwary."
Mcdonald cited a recent state
ment of Robert v. Fleming, presi-
dent of the American Bankers As

gage system and pronouncing
single mortgages sound and de-
sirahle investment.

HUNTERS SLUG
BLAMED FOR
MYSTERY SHOT

Ell Centro police are investigating
the theory that the mysterious bull
let which shattered window at the
Hetzel studio Thursday night was
fired by hunter who was cleaning
his gun preparatory to a hunting
trip the following morning. The
shot crashed through the window
of the studio while Miss Virginia
Hetzel and Miss Ora Frost were
standing in the doorway nearby but
fell harmlessly to the floor.
Since the girls did not hear the
report of the gun and did not see
anyone in the street before or after
the shot, police lean to the theory
that the gun was fired from a win
dow on the same side of the street
as the studio, ricocheted against the
wall of buildings across the street
and entered the studio.
Officers assigned to the case de-
clare they are investigating several
theories in an attempt to solve the
mystery.

PORTO RICAN
TRANSFERRED
TO JOIN MATE

Transportation of 22-year-old
Porto Rico woman from Imper-
ial Valley to Porto Rico to join her
husband and child, was accomplish
ed recently by the State Relief ad-
ministration with the cooperation OF
Travellers Aid societies.
The woman came to the United
States to see her father and mother,
the father having sold a city lot to
provide the money to pay her fare.
She intended to work for money
enough to return but could not find
employment as a skilled hand en-
broiderer was not needed in this
section. The father was working at
Bard and the daughter joined the
family in their tent abode.
She wanted to return home SO
badly that she appealed to the SRA
and the transportation was provid-
ed her. When the time to leave
rolled around, the whole family and
part of their friends were reduced
to tears. They knew they probably
never would see her again.
A long automobile ride to Ell Gen.
tro, longer train ride to New Or
leans and trip aboard a freighter
were accomplished to the accom-
paniment of copious tears on the
part of the traveller according to
letters received at SRA headquar-
ters heref rom the agencies along
the line who helped the woman.
