As Byron Price, Associated Press political expert, President-Elect Roosevelt cer- tainly made good his promise to surprise the news- paper correspondents with his Cabinet selections.| How much of a surprise is clearly shown by the fact that only one of the entire list was included| in the guesses by the political writers.| Senator Thomas J.

FEarly in 1931 an outbreak of paralysis, affecting about 150 {victims and which occurred in the neighborhood of | Los Angeles, Cal, was caused by the drinking of an ;.adulxora(ed product sold as fluid extract of ginger, |U. 8. P. The “ginger,” however, was a synthetic article containing a powerful poison. Due to boot- legging tactics in shipping the goods, it was exceed- ingly difficult, Mr. Campbell says, to collect evidence to identify the responsible parties. The Los Angeles outbreak was the second epidemic of ginger-jake paralysis. The first occurred early in 1930 as a result of distribution of poisonous Jamaica ginger by a Boston . (Mass.) firm. Two members of the Boston concern were prosecuted for conspiracy to violate the Food and Drugs Act and |the National Prohibition Law. A fine of $1,000 was levied against the firm is now years. Since the first outbreak the Food and Drug Ad- ministration has caused ‘the seizure and destruction of 24 consignments of this adulterated article, aggre- gating 2070 gallons in bulk containers and 9,764 small bottles. Prohibition and State authorities re- port the seizure of an additional 57 consignments of the poisonous stuff. the company, and one member of serving a jail sentence of two The declaration of the Executive Committee of the Republican' National Committee that Mr. Hoover is the party’s leader is true in theory and in fact.

Since specific figures are being mentioned .on both sides of the Atlantic in connection with a pos- sible lump-sum payment of the British debt, it is perhaps worth while to point out how the situation now stands.

The dubious practices of Harry Lesser, Forrest E. James, and Philip Lahn, ginger-jake bootleggers, ended in the Federal Court at Brooklyn, N.

Er — we're discussing—er—won't you sit down?” She gave him a characteristic tilt of the head and walked to the wheeled couch. “How's the mentality today, Mr, Mark? Magnificent?” Mark brushed away her hand. “Sit down somewhere and keep quiet,” he directed. “For the first time Armitage is managing to in- terest me and I wish he would get on with his yarn. I feel it's going to be a very personal one, full of nasty digs at everybody ex- cept me. I burn to hear more.” She started round and looked from Armitage to Poole who, by chance, was still in front of the door. “What kind of a tea party is this Kenneth?” she demanded. The bloom on her golden skin faded a little. Poole cast an odd glance at his employer. Never before had there been anything but impersonal loy- alty in his eyes but now Armitage remorseful read reproach in them. He blamed himself for putting this job on the lad; though how he was to have suspected Poole—Poole, the gay invulnerable—He swore to himself and gestured his secretary to the fire. “At least I'm allowed to make a tails to Poole, who'll be here in a| minute.
