Mann, widow of the late Tribune publisher, will attend the funeral services which will be held in St’ Paul Thursday.

Her first five shaves brought her $5 each and overnight fame as Bethel's greatest {ree sightseeing attraction. They literally line up to watch a man recline in the barber chair while she works with razor and brush. Most of her business, however, is in permanent waves for native belles, anxious to astonish and please their suitors by professional coiffures.

Following Secretary Morgenthau’s statement that “we have all the tools necessapy” to prevent fluctuation of the dollar, officials said that no move to control foreign investments here by legislation would be consid- ered until a detailed study of possible effects of these investments was made. It 1s quite possible, they said, that the operation of natural economic factors may result in the gradual withdra.sal of some of these funds, automatically eliminating the ques- tion as to whether they constitute a threat to domestic economy. Concentration of foreign capital here has led to much discussion as to whether the American economy might not be dealt a damaging blow in case foreigners should decide to withdraw their funds suddenly and in large quantities, The heavy inflow of foreign capital, Particularly into securities markets, was underscored last week when Pres- ident Roosevelt announced that he had requested the treasury and the federal reserve board to study the situation. Asked whether he viewed the con- tinued inflow of foreign funds as a danger, Secretary Morgenthau replied that “our domestic y is going daughter, one brother and five sisters.

Alice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Foresgren of McGregor, N.

The girl of the Kuskokwin river country received $5 apiece for the first two shaves. Her patrons were mem- bers of the boat crew which brought her to the new country.

Attorney General Sathre said the measure legalizing the sale of liquor which was approved in the general election becomes effective Dec. 3 pro- vided the canvassing board has met and completed canvassing votes. If these requirements are met by that. time, then the sale of liquor will be able to go ahead, he said.

Morgan ‘Tough’ on Gotham Reporters PRICE FIVE CENTS CRUISER WILL BEAR PRESIDENT ON TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA Will Visit Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina on 12,000 Mile Tour in Four Weeks TO COMPLETE BUDGET WORK Purpose of Journey Is to Bul- wark Anti-War Ideals and Economic Relations Washington, Nov. 17.—(?)—Presle dent Roosevelt made a rapid-fire ree view of the domestic situation Tues- day and said the hoped-for accom- plishments of his trip to foreign shores—starting Tuesday night—were self-evident. He leaves Tuesday night for Charleston, 8. C., where he will board the cruiser Indianapolis for Buenos Aires. The president said he would return to Washington about Dec. 15. The president answered a series of questions on domestic affairs. Some of the responses were that: He had about finished the total es- timates for the new federal budget but that Daniel W. Bell, acting budget director, had as yet to wind up hear- ings. Some stock exchange house would have to answer the question whether commodity prices have to go still higher to improve general recovery. Study Waterway Treaty The St. Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada was being studied by the state department, the federal power commission and the New York Power authority, but that no negotiations with Canada were going on. He has approved $25,000,000 or $30,- 000,000 of new public works project grants, confined to projects that can be finished by July, 1937. A definite decision to lengthen his long-planned post election vacation cruise into the 12,000-mile round trip te the Argentine capital was made by the chief executive Monday night. At the same time, he accepted in- vitations to land for official visits in Brazil and Uruguay on ® voyage his “good neighbor” policy, The president himself has expressed. expectations that the conference will “give renewed hope and courage to the war-weary people of the world by demonstrating to them that the source of armed conflict can and will be elim- inated from the western hemisphere.” In greeting a group of mayors at the White House Monday, he dispelled any idea that he would remain here to intervene in the maritime strike. Before leaving by special train, the president will complete the main work on the 1937-38 federal budget. To Have Escort He will embark shortly after break- fast Wednesday, and with the heavy cruiser Chester acting as escort, go first to the island of Trinidad. Sev- eral hours will be spent there Satur- day, while the ships refuel. The presi- dent will not go ashore. With the naval vessels averaging around 25 knots, Rio de Janeiro will be reached Nov. 27. There the presi- dent will debark for a full day ashore as the guest of President Getulio Var- gas and the Brazilian government. Because of difficulties in docking a ship of the Indianapolis’ size—0,950 tens—in the Plata river on which Buenos Aires is located, the president will land Nov. 30, probably at Mar Del Plate, a seacoast resort, and go by train to the capital.
