TRAPPERS CITY
 JEWELLERS NOW
Rack After Rack oi Frames AdOrn Shanties
 of Main Highway

New Orleans (U.P)-Tourists coming into New Orleans over the modern, double concrete Chef Mem teur road are usually amazed when they reach Mllskrat avenue, only 20 minutes from the heart of the city.
 On either side of Muskrat avenue are shanties of trappers and in front of the shanties are rack after rack of frames hung with hundreds of muskrat skins, with 6 liberal sprink- ling of otter, mink and raccoon, drying in the sun.
 The pelts were taken from aili- mals caught on an 80,000 acre tract, forming some of the finest trapping lands in the state, the majority of 1t in the Ninth Ward of New Or- leans.
 At the head of Muskrat avenue Is the general store of J. c. Larkir1, who has 10000 acres of the land url- der lease. The land was a good trapping section in years gone past, until 1t was abandoned when the concrete highway was being built across It's face.
 Larkin, a trapper and fur trader of 25 years experience, took lease on 40,000 acres four years ago. Lar- kin realized what few did-that during the years the section had been abandoned, the wild life had increased, in fact was teeming with fur-bearing animals.
 Now the take is good and Larkin has subleased tracts to more than 200 trappers. They live on Musk rat avenue they have 8 bus pick up their children for ride to school every morning; they, them- selves, dodge automobile while on their way to their trapping lines.
 The trappers can, if they wish, hop into the family automobile, take the short drive into the city and see a movie, then return home for a nights rest and their trap lines next morning.

 Having conquered Elsa's accus. CTS, Lohengrin became betrothed to her. but the guilty pair con- tinued plotting against him. They poisoned Elsa's mind against hei bridegroom, until she decided to ask him who he was.
 When she did so. it broke the spell and he was forced to leave his bride and return to the Holy Grail. Brought in by a swan. he was taken back by a dove. while the swan that had brought Lohengrin returned. to human form. as Elsa'a brother. Godfrey:

Ponder Abdication Reason

At the rather tremendous Soviet embassy reception in celebra- tion of the new Russian constitu- tion, foreign diplomats and New Deal big shots discussed the Brit ish situation even more than they did the 400-pound sturgeon on the bar Quet table.
 Men who had alleged avenues of inside information debated whether Edward had been forced to abdicate by Baldwin,s insist ence on & course most calculated to keep the dominions loyal to the crown or by resentment in the cabinet and parliament against a kirg who spoke his mind in pub- lie now and then, especially to groups of grimy workers, and failed to qualify as figurehead and stooge.
 Baldwin, one hears, places more faith on international finan- cial ties than he does on romance as a mean of bringing America into war on Britain's side.)
 Many celebrities agreed that a combination of the two factors had caused Edward to be forced cut.

Washington, Dec. 16.--The group in Washington which is interested first and foremost in keeping Amer ica out of war is quietly celebrat- ing the outcome of the King Ed ward-Mrs. Simpson Empire affair.
 Those-both in the administra- tion and Congress who insist that neutrality is worth whatever 1t costs, were almost in 6 panic over the possibility that Edward VIII might stick his chin out, demand that Mrs. Simpson become his queen and get away with 1t.
 Nothing would be more likely to get the United States into war on the side of the British some day, 1t was figured, than the presence of an American woman on the British throne.
 without that, everyone in Washington agrees, 1t will be hard enough for this country to stay out of the next big European war. The presence of . strong anglo
 phile American ambassador i'm London i'm the first years of the last war is commonly believed to have helped bring us into the conflict.
 Those who rate highly the gifts of the American people for senti- mental hysteria are sure the existence of Queen Wallis plus the British gift for propaganda would surely have turned the trick next time.
 Also, officials recognized exist- ence of substantial faction in England which felt elevation of Mrs. Simpson would have been good strategy and might clinch an Anglo American alliance. Lord Beaverbrook led this pack.

Tradition Nothing to Him

One diplomat, Illustrating Ed- wards unconventional indepen- dence from tradition, told 8 story dating back to his visit to the Arr genuine as prince of Wales. A pole game was arranged, because Ed- ward liked polo.
 The Argentine team was c0m- posed of Irishmen, but English men and Argentines suddenly re- membered that the captain, one Nelson, was a Sim Feiner, rabid for Irish independence. They sug- gested to Nelson that he take trip into the interior, lest the prince be embarrassed.
 Nelson refused, so when the prince came they felt they had to tell him about this unfortunate state of affairs.
 "Oh, hell," said Edward, If l were Irish, I'd be Sim Feiner myself"

Payrollers Write Book;
Ickes Collects ROYALTIES

Washington.-"Back to Work." a
book published about a year ago as
the work of Harold L. Ickes, Sec
retary of the interior, and upon
which Ickes collects the royalties,
was really written by press agents
for the PWA, working on federal
government time and paid with the
taxpayers money, it was revealed
here.
At the suggestion Of Clark Fore
man, Roosevelt foundation employee
who planned the book, Ickes import
ed a young writer, Michael Ross,
from England, to write the story of
recovery" in America. He went
on the PWA payroll at $4,000 a
year. Ross efforts were then re-
written by Jonathan Latimer, also
on the federal payroll. Parts Of the
book were written by K. Sewell
Wingfeld, assistant director Of the
power division of PWA, and Mi
chael Straus and David WOlfsohn

Taxpayers Cash Goes

Observation-Disclosures Hector''

with $4,000 of the taxpayers
money in Memphis, Tenn. The dog
shelter, object of nationwide CEN

spicuOus place in "The Roosevelt

The pound, with it's impressive
entrance and columned portico, and
looking not unlike the press wing Of
the White House, is a haven Of
food and indolent luxury for the

tion is defended by "The Roosevelt

TugWeN Waste
Goes0n and0n
Spends 278 Million; Houses
Far Short of Program;
Payroll Huge.

Washington.-When the Dis
trict of Columbia court of ap-
peals held that the Presidents
transfer of relief funds to Prof.
Rexford Guy Tugwell's reset
tlement administration was un-
constitutional, it did not save
the hundreds of millions of dollars
of the taxpayers money which have
been spent by what one congress,
man has called "the most extrava-
CANT, the most unjustified and the
most useless of the New Deal al
phabetical bureaus. Neither did it
put a stop to future spending by
the RA, for the decision will be ap-
pealed to higher courts.
Between May 4 of 1885 and March
% of this year, Tugwell has received
$27S,S47,171, Of which $31 1,95O,OOO,
or nearly one dollar in every nine,
has gone for administrative" ex-
pense. Other expenditures: SUBJ
marginal land purchases, $44,12O,-
1928; subsistence homesteads, $15,-
275,735; rural rehabilitation and
resettlement, $124.279,O46; direct re-
lief, $16,169,354; suburban develop
ment, $31 100000, and land develop
ment, $15,OOO,OOO.
PayrSn Numbers 17,O55.
What started out as only hand
full of executives in the RA has
swelled to payroll of 17,055. The
payroll for administering the vari-
GUS units in p Washington build.
ings alone is $25,O62,OS5 a year. Six
teen executives are paid $1,000 to
$4,000 annually; Al from $4,000 to
$1,000, and 55 from $1,000 to $4,000.
Professor Tugwell determines the
amount of land WHICH the RA will
purchase and the use to which it
shall be put. In less tn an a year he
has placed under option 1OO2O,63O
acres Of land and has purchased
$685. $40 acres.
Houses Fail to Rise.
TugWell has spent $278, ,347, III,
but few houses, comparatively, have |
ever been completed. In most cases
the lands on which they are built |
are too poor to raise crops profit
ably and few families are attracted
to move in. Still fewer Industries
are being moved to the projects.
Where houses have been completed,
walls are often cracking and roofs
leaking already. Tugwell's payroll
for labor alone is $4,000 a day
enough to build ten houses a day
but less than ten houses a month
are being completed. i
In the South, in Minnesota and in
other locations the RA has given
he jobs up as hopeless and is at
to peddle the projects to
private corporations, at enormous
oss to the public purse.
