"IRISH" PEDDLERS

Recent complaints from Detroit housewives disclose the
return of the so-caled Irish" lace linen pedder.
This trckser is usually woman, who speaks with
Irish accent and offers genuine Irish linen lace at
rdculOus low prices. Her present story, reported by
compliments, is that dreadful conditions in her homeland
have forced her to close her shop there She explains her
bargain prices by saying that the IT, S. Customs Depart
ment is holding most of her stock of merchandise until she
import taxes but has allowed her to keep few pieces
to sell in order to raise this tax money.
Sympathetic housewives often surrender to her fearful
tale buy Irish" lace linen then sadly learn
that it is just phony the pedders Irish brogue-and
that better merchandise available for much less money

IF. &C. DEGREES
EUnfumiIior to
President

President Roosevelt told a press
conference today he did not know in
advance, nor has he read since, the
Federal Communications Commis-
sion's monopoly regulations directed
at the radio industry.
The regulations, issued two weeks
ago tomorrow, would force a major
reorganization in the radio industry
and have been bitterly assailed by
the industry. Mark Ethridge, radio
official who has been asked to serve
as an adviser to the President on the
radio problem. resigned his post in
st. Louis this week and charged
that the Chief Executive had been
deceived or betrayed by the F. c. c.
majority.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked today II
he knew of the controverted regu-
lations in advance. He replied un-
qualifiedly in the negative, and when
asked what he thought about them,
he answered that he rad not read
them.
Asked then about Mr. Ethridge's
assertions, Mr.. Roosevelt said IL
might sound like an awful thing to
say. but he had been thinking Of
more important things than the
radio industry In recent weeks.

But Blue Suwdust Shocks the Old Timers

The younger generation was pretty
happy at the streamlined circus last
night, but old-timers wiped back a
nostalgia tear or two,
What had become of all the
rough-and- tumble hurly- -burly, the
magnificent bedlam and confusion
of another day? Many of the ira
ditional sights and sounds-even the
odors-were missing
The old-timers blinked at the blue
sawdust of the arena and shifted in
vain to catch the familiar, pungent
aroma of resinous shavings trampled
by ponderous pachyderms, galloping
ponies and stampeding spectators.
Not that they weren't amazed and
delighted with the spectacle. In
fact, they were practically stunned,
although not quite speechless. after
the first shock wore off. Fred Or
singer, director of the Commerce De-
partment Aquarium, for instance,
