Those were also the days
when railroad presidents, vice
presidents, secretaries, general
managers and others, born in
engine smoke sat back in their

ness on the depression and
everything els1 except them
selves. They were wise in rail

LUMBER TRADE
SEEKS U. S. AIDE

G.N.S.) Declaring an eco
nomic and commercial emer-
gency" exists in the lumber export
trade, the National Lumber Manu-.
facturers Association today asked
the United States Maritime Com
mission for assistance in the ex-
port of lumber products.
Already it has specifically asked
aid on the Pacific-North China
route and the Pacific routes to
South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand. Exporters of southern
pine and southern hardwoods are
expected to present their views
through the association at a later
date.
In its application the aSsocia-
ton pointed out that a substan-
tial part Of the export loss is due
to Canadian subsidies to lumber
carriers. It was asserted that
tariff determinations by foreign
countries against American lum.
Der, including British empire pref
erences, have diverted a large part
Of our former export business to
Canada and other countries.

NUD|STS SQUIRM
UNDER ASSAULT.
OF JERSEY FLIES
Even Orators Hindered
By Insect Horde

MAYS LANDING, N. j., Aug.
% QN.SD can't fool a

Some 300 nudistS, assembled
here for the national convention
of the American Sunbathing AS
soc!ation knew that to their sor-
row today as they WINGED under
the onslaught Of swarmS of New
Jerseys famed green flies.
AS word of the convention
spread through the insect world
by grapevine telegraph, the sharp
singing flies descended upon the
300 perfect targets by the thou
sands. The nudists didn't mind
the stares of reporters and they
defended their ideals in impaS-
stoned oratorical outbursts, but
they were unable to devise de-
tense against the hungry flies.
CLERICS SPEAK
The insect plague began just as
the Rev. Henry S. Huntington, OF
Otis. Mass, former president OF
the National NudiSm Organiza-
ton, was telling his unclad de-
voices that fortunately the old
horror at the sight of skin is de-
clining by leaps and bounds" The
flies Immediately confirmed his
opinion.
The Rev. Robert Moore, head
Of a Beulah Park religious inStitu-
ton, who appeared fully clothed,
apologized for wearing too many
fig leaves" He asserted that
"God raised up nudism to get men
and women back to the primitive
state"
The primitive state was attained
q few minutes later when a bolt
Of lightning put out all the lights
in the camp and forced all its
occupants to huddle together in
cabins like prehistoric men and
women covering in caves. Three
nudists were injured slightly by
electric shocks.
PLAY ON SEE-SAWS
Attendance at the speeches was
limited mainly to the older mem
bers Of the flock. The center Of
attraction, however, was a sylvan
grove where several beautiful girls,
clad in their birthday suits, were
gyrating gracefully on see-saws.
Reporters were ordered to strip
to the waist before entering the
portals of the homemade Eden.
A girl reporter who refused to
comply was allowed to enter
anyhow.
Meanwhile, owners of motor
boats reported the biggest boom
in the States history as sight
seers armed with opera glasses
anchored offshore.
The nudiStS spared no effort to
make the reporters feel at ease.
Tall blondes, au naturel, ap-
preached them with trays and
courteously asked:
will you have a cookie?"
The convention was to be con-
cluded today with election Of Of

to solution Of Washington's juvenile
crime problem in a radio address yes
terday by Wilbur La Roe, jr., chair
man Of the District Parole Board, and
the Committee on Civic Affairs Of the
Washington Federation of Churches.
Speaking over Station WJsv, La
Roe said that, with eradication Of pow
erty, two-thirds Of all crime would
disappear.
1T Is difncult for a boy to refrain
from stealing when economic distress
pinches too hard" he said. "At least,
We who have not felt the pAngs of
hunger should not be too quick to
Judge"
La Roe decried race discrimination
in regard to crime, saying that where
racial tendencies toward crime were
seemingly apparent, the cause could
usually be traced to the fact the par
ticular group was economically UNDER
privileged.
Reformatory Lack Deplored.
1T is disgrace to the Nations

no reformatry for boys between II

sent to our penitentiary At Lorton and
there mixed with hardened criminals.
