from a three-month's trip to the
states.
Last June he fractured a process
of one of the spinal column bones
take a three-month's rest. Instead
he took six weeks off and after re-
turning to work broke the bone the
second time. He then arranged TO
go south on a vacation for the win
ter. Collapsing on the street in Sc
attic, it was found that a growth
had started in the fracture. His doc
tor, a leading Seattle specialist, ad-
vised that the operation be done in
Chicago. Accordingly, Sumption
boarded a plane in Seattle at 9 o.
clock in the morning and with five
stops enroute arrived twelve hours
later in Chicago.
Drives To Gulf
As soon as he could travel after
the operation he bought a 1887
Packard sedan in which he set out
to visit the shrimp fisheries of the
Gulf of Mexico, something he had
wanted to do for several years. He
sold the car in Seattle last week
after having driven it 9770 miles.
While in New Orleans Mr.. Stump
ton wrote a very interesting letter
which was published in the Sentin-

ton said that he round afterwards
he had not half realized the immen-
sity of the shrimp industry ON the

shrimp boats fishing and 100 big
canneries in operation. The biggest
one in Harvey Canal, New Orleans,
employs 700 workers.
