Byrd asked that the President have the Federal Trade Commission report its findings direct to the Chief Executive and not to the Senate. The letter was written on receipt of a letter from the office of the President, which called attention to the fact that the Senate had started an investiyation on the strength of the appeal which Gov. Byrd made to the President June 1. The President promised to supplement the Investi- gation if nece ry. A delay of six months will be necessary if the Federal Trade Com- mission must report to the Senate, Gov. Byrd pointed out in his letter today.

The collector, E. A. Miles, has found that if he searched far enough and closely enough he could find an alphabet written in the hand of Mother Niture. After many years of seeking he has assembled the 26 let- ters. All, with one exception, were made naturally by imbs of trees. The exception was formed by roots.

In no case, he says, has a branch or twig been bent or twisted to form the characters; each represents the handiwork of nature. Mr. Miles is an official of the sanitarium, The story of the collection is inter- esting. “A” came from Oshawan.
