"The CITADEL Ranks
As One of Best

Described as the most impressive
screen adaptation of popular novel
in years. The Citadel" based on
DR.. A. j. Cronns best-seller, will
begin two day engagement at the
Kootenai theatre Sunday.
The picture co-stars Robert Do
nat, distinguished young English
man, and Rosalind Russell of Holly
wood, with cast of more than 100
players.
THE Citadel" is story of life
in the Welsh colliery district as en-
countered by an obscure young
physician. Much of it was drawn
from experiences as DR.. Cronin de-
voted some of his early years to
medical practice in the mines.
The doctor meets school teacher,
portrayed in the picture by Miss
Russell with whom he falls in love.
Their struggle against poverty and
his heroic labors in the pits provide
dramatic background for the ac-
ton. In mine disaster the sur
geon amputates the arm of work
man when it is trapped beneath
fallen, timherst saving his life and
winning the respect of his fellows
Later, when his career has ad-
vanced to a society practice in Lon
don, the young medical man forgets
the ethics of his calling and de-
sends to flattery and worthless pills
for fat fees from shallow patients
He errs in critical operation and
IN shocked back into his senses.
With the encouragement of his
wife and the cooperation of a group
OF fellow physicians, equally earnest
j he organizes a worthwhile clinic fol-
the poor, abandoning all hope fol
wealth and fame to further the
progress of q noble profession

u. S.-Nozi Economic War Issue
Hinges on Free Trade VS.. Barter
Gold Power Of America Declared
In Bottle for Supremacy

through the trade agreements pro-
gram, this country has tried to open
the whole world to the easy flow
OF goods from one part Of the earth
to another. Under such q dull SYM
Dol as a customs tariff Chancellor
Hitler and President Roosevelt now
face each other In active belliger-
ence.
Trade Death Knell.
Our raising Of the duties on Ger
man goods probably means the
death Of almost all the trade be-
tween the two countries. For many
years, this trade has been relative
ly slight. Once 1t rested on cotton
from our export point Of view: but
American cotton exporters have for
many years been feeling the brunt
OF the Hitler barter policy.
Germany has been buying large
quantities of cotton In Brazil, where
the Aski-mark system has, until
recently, made Brazil almost a trade
vassal Of Germany. Under the
Aski-mark system, foreign exchange
credits to a country are blocked
until that country buys in Germany
an amount equal to its credit. Ger
many subsidies its importers so
that they can offer attractive deals
to the countries in which they buy.
Thus she attracts the sellers, who
soon find themselves purchasers be-
yond their desires.
Since Germany is one of the coun-
tries most likely to become q bel
ligerent, it is interesting to inquire
into the amount of our trade with
that country which can be put un-
der the heading of war materials"
Some proposed neutrality legisla-
ton which Congress is now consid-
ing would ban this trade with bel
ligerents.
In 1898 the most important OF
our exports to Germany fell into

this war material" category. Raw
cotton still was first among all our
exports, but the sales were valued
at only $i6,875 ,000-only a third of
the amount sold in Germany in
1887 Much Of this was destined for
distribution throughout Central
Europe as a re-export from Ger
many.
AS a group, petroleum products
and petroleum, a war material,
were exports to Germany valued at
$25 ,000, 900. Copper exports - war
material again-increased in 1898 to
SIS ,0O0, 900 from $4,000, 900 the year
before. The trade featured in
creases also In exports of metal
working machinery, motor trucks,
iron and steel scrap, non-ferrous
metals used in the manufacture of
Iron and steel, and phosphate rock.
All these are classifiable as war
materials.
approximately three tenths of our
imports from Germany in 1898 con-
sisted Of chemical products chiefly
potash and sodium compounds. The
principal import showing an in
crease was cameras, whose value
rose from 100000 in 1896 to a.
322, 900 In 1888.

Building Trades Strike
Slows Maryland Work
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 25.-The Bal
timore Building Trades Council said
yesterday several thousand con-
struction workmen throughout the
State had stopped work on a strike
called over delivery of materials by
non-union workmen.
Work was slowed on the new
buildings for the University of
Maryland in Baltimore, on several
large private construction projects
in Baltimore and on the State Office
Building in Annapolis.
The State Roads Commission said
the strike order did not apply to
road construction companies. The
order was not applied to the Glenn
L. Martin Co. plant, being rushed
to completion in order to expand
aircraft building facilities.
The strike was called when the
union instructed its members not to
work with materials delivered by
non-union drivers. Members of the
Carpenters, Bricklayers', Hosting
Engineers and Laborers' Unions
continued at work, but construction
men said they would have to halt
soon when their work ran ahead of
the working of striking electricians,
plumbers, steam filters and iron
workers.

Jefferson Memorial
Work Faces DELAY

Subterranean water, flowing
through assures in bed rock under
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial site
on the southeast shore of the Tidal
Basin, probably will delay COM
mencement of construction of the
memorial superstructure about a
month, it was learned today.
Although the condition is not re-
garded as serious. it will require
considerable additional work on the
part of the contractor, the Raymond
Concrete Pile Co., of New York,
holder of 1886 900 contract for the
foundation work. it was said.
Because of the flow of water
through the bed rock, at an average
level of between 80 and 80 feet be-
low the ground surface, it is neces-
sary to waterproof" each caisson
footing before the pouring of REIN
forced concrete for the foundations
of the memorial proper may begin.
F. F. Gillen, National Park Service
engineer in charge of the Jefferson
Memorial work, said that the condi-
ton had been anticipated, although
there had been no positive proof.
Except for the additional work and
delay, the condition is regarded as
of little moment. The foundation
work has been going along smoothly
and the added delay is not expected
to carry the work beyond the con-
tract date of completion.

Woman Allowed 10 Keep
Bedspread and ANGELS

Miss Ethel Gladys Sparks 20,
of Oklahoma was allowed in Police
Court yesterday to keep her bed
spread with five big angels cro-
cheted on it" and freed by Judge
Edward M. Curran on her personal
bond after he heard the substantial
tion Of charges that she conducted
herself in disorderly manner at
the Women's Bureau.
Miss Sparks last night sought
lodging in the Women's Bureau,
where she recently was a Today
guest. When she was told there was
no room, she complained so vehe-
mently, police said, that she was
admitted as prisoner and charged
with disorderly conduct. She went
to the Women's Bureau, she said,
because she was broke.
Miss Sparks told Judge Curran
that she came to Washington to
sell mems socks and to give Mrs.
Roosevelt her angel-covered bed
spread. She sold no socks and Mrs.
Roosevelt declined the gift.

position itself could become avail
able. There was so much delay in
this, he explained, that the former
President had to be changed from
one appropriation to another every
few days. and sworn in again under
each different appropriation.
Soon, whenever Mr.. Gompers
would see the jovial former Presi-
dent. Mr.. Taft would hold up his
right arm, as If to be sworn in again,
and say. with his well-known
chuckle. Go ahead, Sam"
Mr.. Gompers recently received
Nation wide attention through
swearing in Elmer F. Andrews as ad-
ministrator of the Wage-and- hour
Division of the Labor Department
When he had finished with formal i.
ity, Mr. Gompers laid his hand on
Mr.. Andrews shoulder and said with
feeling: And may the Lord have
mercy on your SOUL"
The son of the famous former
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor looks much like his
father, but the son changed his
name slightly, just so he would not
be a Junior" He put middle
name of "Julisn" between the Sam
uel and Gompers, so that he is
Samuel j. Gompers. The Julian" is
his mothers maiden name.
The chief clerk of the Labor De-
partment holds his fathers memory
in reverence, admiring his leader
ship in labor-and like him, con-
tinues his membership in organized
labor.
He carries membership card in
Columbia Typographical Union. to
which he transferred his member
ship when he moved to Washington,
from New York, to begin his Federal
service as a printer at the Govern
ment Printing Office.
Mr.. Gompers transferred to the
Department of Commerce and Labor
In 1907, as an 'editor-clerk proof
reader went to the new Depart
ment of Labor, when the former de-
partment was split in two, and was
advanced in responsibility until he
became departmental chief clerk in

DAILY SHORT STORY

to notice him. He scratched and
whined and at last Bob went over
and shut the inside door, Spotty
remained for a while, then skunk
away, looking hurt.
That day the Prescotts didn't go
swimming because they could see
Spotty waiting for them outside.
The next day it was the same and
the next. Kay began to lose patience.
"A fine thing!" she declared I'VE
have to sit in the house because
our landlords pup likes our COM
pany!"
1T was our fault in the first
place Bob pointed out. I'VE
shouldn't have let Spotty become
so friendly. If had a dog whom
I loved and wanted to love me I'd
feel exactly as Mike does. I don't
blame him a bit"
Then we might as we'll cut our
vacation short and 60 home. I
simply can't continue to act indif-
ferent to Spotty when he doesn't
understand and when it really isn't
the way feel at ALL"
That's swell idea! We'd better
go home. After a while Spotty
will forget we were ever around
and Mike will gain back his SELF
respect
The Prescotts left at night, leav-
ing a note on the aparament table
explaining that Bob had suddenly
been called back because of busi-
ness. Both were curiously silent
on the long drive home, and when
they entered the house they were
both beset by sense of something
lacking. They remained silent re-
garding their feelings. Both felt
that it would pass in a day or two.
But it didn't. Three days, a week
elapsed. And finally both had to
admit that they missed Spotty.
Strange how you could become so
attached to an animal. They talked
OF buying a dog of their own, but
they knew that no other dog would
do.
IF we hadn't had to be so mean
to him before we left it wouldn't
be so bad," Kay said almost tear
fully.
And just then there was a knock
at the door. 1t was the expressman,
carrying a Grated box that gave of
wild yelps and tail thumpings.
1t was Spotty, shipped all the way
from Lake Mckenzie. Bob read
the letter that accompanied the box.
The letter stated briefly that Mike
and Judy would like to give Spotty
to the Prescotts because he seemed
so depressed since they left and
Mike wanted him to be happy.
Bcb said slowly: Mike loved
that dog. He loved him more than
we ever can"
Kay said nothing. This time
she understood exactly what Bob
meant.
