HASKIN Washington, D. C., March 11.—In view of the congressional investiga- tion inio the conspicuous discrep- ancy between the low price of wheat paid the farmer and the high cost of bread, it is interesting to note that in a large number of American citics the value of bakery products is greater than that of any other in- dustry. Except in -cities where certain in- dustries have concentrated, that is, cities having balanced manufactures rather than specialties, bread and bakery products constitute the out- standing product from the point of view of valuc. It is an interesting commentary on | the extent to which the United States is living in a machine age that foundry and machine shop products come next and there is, as indicating that the American people are inter- ested in exercising their minds, the further fact that one of the most widespread industries is the printing and publishing business. The United States has a definite industrial geography with a re- markable concentration of certain types of manufacture in certain cities. The reasons for this concentration are various. Grand Rapids, Mich., for example is famous the world over for its furniture. The manufacture of all types of furniture constitutes far and away its leading industry with an output valued at some $55,- 000,000 a year. motor vehicle bodies. The reason for this concentration is that the forests of Michigan originally furnished con- venient and enormous supplies of wood. There also was adequate water transportation. That wood furniture and wood automobile bodies should be manufactured there in great quantities was inevitable. Hardware—the necessary fittings for furniture and allied wood products— follows. But aside from this spe- cialty bread comes next with products valued at $4,768,000 a year. Take Akron, Ohio, as another ex- ample. Its rubber products are valued at $484,000,000 a year with the foundry and machine shop products | connected with the rubber manufac- ture second. Then comes bread, $4,408,000 worth. As all crude rub- ber comes overseas, there is no reason for the first establishment of a great rubber industry at Akron. It just happened. But once started, a fabric of favorable railroad rates, both on crude rubber to Akron and on fin- ished products away from that city, was built up and attracted new com- panies entering the field. Industries of Mammoth Size Chicago and Detroit are other cities with industries of a size that overwhelm all competitiors. This is the more interesting in view of the fact that both are favorably situated for any number of industries. Both haye fine water and raj) transpor- | tation. Chicago's slaughtering and meat packing industry turns out products to the value of $550,000,000 @ year, about three times the value of products of the nearest rival. That the Windy City is in the pathway to the east of shipments of hogs from the great corn belt and of cattle from western ranges accounts in part for this growth. But also the early es- tablishment of the Chicago Stock- yards, the greatest in the world, pad its influence. Chicago's iron and steel industry has reached an output valued at $170.000.000 while foundry and ma- chine shop products are worth $150,- 000,000 and electrical goods $147,000,- 000. In addition to these tremendous machine age specialties we find Chi- cago making $10,000,000 worth of bread and bakery products a year, a value greater than that of Pitts- burgh’s steel. The greatest concentration of in- dustry anywhere is to be found in New York City. Neither food nor drink comes anywhere near the mag- nitude of the garment industry anc never before has there been such @ concentration in one place. The in- credible sum of $1,509,000,000 repre- sents the value of the annual output. Needless to say, of this more than $1.145,000,000 represents women's clothing. Nor does the total include $132,000.000 merely for millinery, $24,000,000 for furs, and $176,000,000 ;. for siiks. The mere trimmings for garments made in New York in the course, of a year mount up to a value of $47,000,- 000.. Suspenders and garters run to $7,000,000 a year while the value of the incidental manufacture of but- tonholes in men’s clothing reaches $368,000. The output of the allied industry of dyeing textiles is valued at $28,000,000, while « embroideries made each year are worth $16,000,000.

Jerger, 20 years ago, just after the young physician had hung out his shingle. | He was his first patient. His | right leg had been mended im- properly after a serious fracture of the femur so that the bone was at an angle and the leg two inches short. The doctor went to a butcher | shop, dissected a sheep, removed two inches of bone, which he transplanted to the boy, fasten- | ing it by means of plates on which he scratched his initials. { ‘Then he put the account down in | his charity book, and forgot about it until the other night. | A few nights ago, Dr. Jerger, | who moved his practice from Initialed Plates Holding Leg Bones Together Are Basis for Civil Action Waterloo to Chicago years ago, was called out of bed for an emergency operation at a Chi- cago hospital. Peter Grimes, a cigar dealer, had suffered a shat- tered leg when struck by a truck. The right femur was crushed. Amputation was necessary. In the operation he reported he found two inches of bone pro- tected by plates on which his initials had been scratched. A pie company paid Grimes $20,000 for the injury, but Dr. Jerger said his first patient had meet here April 21, Dr. J. R. Birke- land, secretary, announced Tuesday. Dr. Birkeland said the case of two) missionaries, Rev. Bert Nelson and K. N. Tvedt, held captives by ban- dits in China, will not be taken up| at the meeting. The superintendent of missionary work at Hinyang, in Honan province, he said, has full power to act. BUILDING PROGRAM TO AID UNEMPLOYED |: Justice Department Bequests Speed; Consider Two for Special Attorneys Washington, March 11.—(4)—The justice department moved Tuesday to {speed the Administration’s public | alling program for, unemployment relief. The names of former Representa- j tive F. Dickinson Davenport, | Towa, and Charles Vefher, Tuscaloosa, Ala., were under consideration as spe- cial attorneys in the justice depart- ment’s public lands division, with prospect of their almost immediate appointment, ‘They would concentrate upon the institu of comdemnation pro- begets ipon lands desired for pub- projects, working under new legis- iation signed ‘by President Hoover two weeks ago. It was said officially at the depert- ment Tuesday the appointment of ner of Representative Oliver, Demo- crat, Alabama, would not have to await the return of Attorney General Mitchell, who is vacationing in the south, For the sake of speed, it was said, the appointments will be approved Solicitor General Thacher, the acting attorney general. Compensation for the two special attorneys was pro- vided in the second deficiency bill. The new law initiated at the at- torney general's suggestion, provides that the government may take imme- diate possession of land upon the filing of condemnation proceedings, the owner being guaranteed the com- pensat of whatever sum the court may set Three Sisters Commit Suicide in Budapest} Budapest, Hupgary, March 11.—(P) —Three sisters, without funds and ignored his bill for $500 which is why he took the case into mu- nipical court Tuesday. Regard- less of the outcome, he said he would get out @ tattered account book and mark the affair as “closed.” The garment industry so over- shadows all others that there is no; real runner-up. Various minor | branches of the garment industry | overshadow even the foundry and | Machine shop products which are valued at but $78,000,000. Yet com- jing back to the item of bread. it is | found that New York makes not far} short of $200,000,000 worth of bakery , products in a year. The second greatest concentration is a new one, the colossal automobile | industry of Detroit, Its products are | valued at more than $950,000,000 a/ year. Foundry and machine shop} | products, used largely in connection | with the automotive industry in De- | troit, add another $50,000,000 to the | total. Including $15,000,000 worth of paints and varnishes and the vari- ous other items which go into auto- { mobile manufacture it is easily a bil- lion dollas industry. And Detroit eats $35,000,000 worth of bread in =| year. There are some oddities of con- centration For instance the out- standing industry of Fort Wayne, Ind., is pumps. In Jacksonville, Fla., } the value of the fertilizer output is three times that of its nearest com- petitor, bread. For the size of the city | the slaughtering industry of Kansas City, Kans, is impressively over- shadowing. With an annuai output valued at $214,000,000, its nearest competitor, flour and mill products, shows only $19,000,000. Just across ; the river, Kansas City, Mo., shows her largest industry to be bread with about $17,000,000 output. Louisville, Ky., is what might be called the sandwich city. Slaughter- ing and meat packing constitute the largest industry, worth about $13,000,- 000 a year, while bread and butter follow with output of some $8,000,000 each. . Boston is the candy capital of the United States with an annual output valued at $31,000,000—greater than her boot and shoe or textile produc- tion but, as might be expected from the Hub. her greatest single industry is printing and publishing, valued at; some $75,000,000. Indeed, capitals, where so much talking is done, us- ually lead in printing and publishing. At Washington, the national capital, for example, the $23,000,000 publish- ing industry is more than twice as large as the next greatest, bread. At Albany, capital of the most populous state, the $4,500,000 publishing indus- try ranks first with bread second. ‘Los Angeles has perhaps the queer- est concentration of industry of any city. Its motion picture production is valued at $57,000,000 a year—mil- lions more than the next largest. But, of course, Hollywood is a part of Los | Angeles. iFruit Cooperatives | Have Been Merged) Benton Harbor, March Peas Consolidation of 10 large fruit co-' operatives and two canning plants, with properties estimated at $500,000, is announced by Pred L.
