HANGOVERS
By LITTLE HEiSkELL

Wnen you SEC Aho@ "S"~
ina in the Mayors office late at
night don't get the foolish idea
that the janitor is using this
canned sunshine for the purpose
of cleaning up the office. It's
the Hon. Mayor Sweeney still
figuring on expenses, clipping
off an item here and an item
there. That IS cent tax rate,
marked down In a moment OF
haste has him behind the eight
ball, and as for "siIIy" projects,
the Mayor says there amt
gonna be any more"
| asked Richard what he
meant by SILLY" projects and as
quick as you can say Jack Henry
Moses AIgernon Franklin An
drew Jackson Robin, he men,
toned the continuation of Me-
mortal Boulevard Now the
original plans for this project call
ed for a beautiful (?) drive
around the Antietam Creek,
past a dump, the smelly dispos-
al plant, and up over hill and
dale. "That would make nice
drive, said the Mayor - eff it
wasn't so odoriferous." look
ed up Webster on that last one
and finally figured out that the
Mayor knew the right words.
"Add to that" continued the
Mayor, "the cost of this project,
estimated at $4,000 and you
have my answer to further ex-
penditures." And the answer,
he whispered, throwing his
thumb over his shoulder blade,
is "Out!"
The Top Man at City Hall is
getting tough, according to my
observation. 1t seems that some
of the boys, says the Mayor, are
still under the impression that
Abe Lincoln is still in the White
House. Only recently he was
told that several members of his
official family ridiculed one of
his appointments. And that
got his dander up. So here's a
tip, me hearty lads of the good
ship City Hall: Start running
for cover, because the Boss is
oiling up the Big Black Whip.
Councilman Fridnger tells me
that during the past few weeks
he has received numerous re-
quests from citizens in his ward
to name the new Elizabeth
Street underpass in honor of the
late "Judee" Pryor, we'll known
resident of the West End. Judge
Pryor was member of the local
bar, a prominent business man
and at one time served in the
City Council. Fridinger, acting
in these requests, is now prepar-
ina a resolution to be presented
to the Council naming not only
the underpass but the new
street leading into the underpass
for the late judge. The plan has
the endorsement of the Mayor.
Mrs. Proyor, widow of the late
judge, recently decided the land
to the city without cost.

$3,o00,0O0 Gold Sale
Expected 10 Help
Brazilian Trade
Metal Will Be Used
As Collateral for
Temporary Looms
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury, 1t was learned to-
day. has sold 100000 worth of
gold to Brazil in a step designed
to use the Governments vast gold
holdings to promote trade with
Latin America.
Brazil, 1t was understood, will
leave the gold on deposit in the New
York Federal Reserve Bank and use
1t as collateral for temporary bor-
rowings OF dollar exchange on a re-
volving fund basis with the Treas
ury's stabilization fund.
Last week President Roosevelt
told reporters negotiations were
near completion with two or three
Latin American countries on the
use OF Treasury gold to improve
trade.
In the case Of Brazil, which may
serve as a precedent for similar
procedure with other Latin Ameri-
can countries, the gold will enable
Brazil to provide its businessmen
with dollars to pay for United
States merchandise In seasons when
Brazil has a dollar shortage.
Brazil paid In milreis currency for
the gold, but promised to make good
the value Of the Brazilian money If
1t should depreciate in financial
markets.
The Brazilian transaction was
made under an agreement negoti-
ated IN 1887. through which q maxi
mum Of $60000,0 900 worth of gold
could be obtained by Brazil in this
manner. The transaction had moth
ing to do with the more recent COM
mitment OF the Treasury to ask Con-
gress for permission to lend Brazil
$50 O,OO0,O 900 worth of gold as an ini-
tial reserve for a proposed Brazilian
central bank. The bank has not vet
been established and the Treasury
has not yet sought congressional
authority.
Precedents for the transaction
have been established In the cases
OF China, which has a similar gold
collateral dollar fund here. and
Mexico, which had one prior to the
appropriation of the United States
OIL properties In Mexico.

September Store Volumes
Reported Best Since 1929

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17-War hasn't
frightened the purse strings Of the
American consumer, an economist
reported today.
On the contrary. A. w. zelomek,
specialist In retail statistics, said
dollars were passing over tie retail
counters last month at the fastest
rate for any September since 1929,
the last high-water mark Of business
prosperity.
He figured general merchandise
expenditures In department stores,
mail order houses, chain and variety
stores ut SSH 500 900, compared with
$467 ,000, 900 In September last year.
THE favorable rate Of consumer
buying" he explained, has been due
largely to the marked increase in
employment and pay rolls. It has
been aided by the expansion Of
credit sales and by the slight gain In
consumer anticipation due to fear
Of higher prices"
