MAGAZINE SALES WILL BE PROBED Disabled Veterans’ Leader to Delve With Aides Into Street “Business.” The sale of magazines on the streets here, with the appeal that the returns are to be used to aid disabled war vet- erans, will be the subject of a confer- ence called to meet soon by C. Claude Babcock, commander of the District of Columbia Department of the Disabled American Veterans. Numerous ,com- Jraints and inquiries about this ‘prac- have been received, Mr. Babcock xplained_yesterday. Comdr. Babcock has written to Elwood Street, director of the Community Chest: Harlan Wood, commander of the District Department of the American Legion, and Hawley L. Miller, com- mander of the District Department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, saying that the practice of selling magazines | on the streets has reached such pro- portions that the veterans owe it to the people of Washington to end the sales, if it is found that impositions are be- ing worked. “While each of the recognized serv- ice organizations regularly is issuing a publication for its members, none of us are sclling these on the streets,” said the Disabled American Veteran leader. “If these men who are pedding have claims before the Veterans’ Bureau for disabilities, each of our outfits have Maison officers who will assist in the preparation and presentations of claims without cost. On the other hand, if they are not really disabled they should not be allowed gather in money with a plea to relieve the disable assist thm in obtaining legitimate em- ployn.ent. “I think the public and all veterans have a personal interest in this situa- tion, and I think that the representa- tives of the Community Cheest, the Vet- erans_of Foreign Wars, the Legion and the Disabled American Veterans can work out a plan to present to the cor- poration counsel and the Police Depart- ment for any action that may be in- dicated. “Not only is it intended to go into the stopping of people on the streets, but we also would investigate those who go from house to house.” FLIGHT OF WH]TE §WAN HERALDED BY HOMERIC By the Associated Press. SOUTHAMPTON, England. August 3. —Passengers aboard the White Star liner Homeric, which docked here today, reported observing a _transatlantic “flight” which had not been heralded in news dispatches to the extent of the Graf Zeppelin's. In midocean the Homeric met a great white swan. With neéck outstretched and wings flapping. the big bird was flying about 100 feet above the water in the direction of Europe. The swan was_apparently making for the nearest land and did not take refuge aboard the ship, which was more than 900 miles from the coast of Ireland when the bird was sighted. Wife Sues C};arles G.

My answer was, ‘More in- dustry. “A’man who has a definite job that keeps him busy and contented is in no mood for fighting. The same is true of a nation and of all the world. Put all the people in the world profitably to work, and keep them so, and war would never be heard of again. “That is exactly why I am in the automobile business. If I knew any better industry, any I could do better, I would go into it. If I could get into any industry that would reach more people and influence their lives, I would ! give up making automobiles and go into that business. More Industry Aids Peace. “Get more industry into the world, your wars would vanish. The forces that make war don’t know anything about peace and the real foundation of peace. “No, there is not the slightest danger of getting the world overcrowded with industries. Human needs and desires are forever expanding and taking 01 new variety. Change is the only really permanent thing. That applies to every form of the world's work. There is never lack of opportunity for new and useful inventions which may be the beginning of new industries, “What the world most needs is not peace pacts and international agree- ments to keep the peace, though these are good as far as they go. Most needed are young men and women trained to be leaders in industry, in- ventors of new and useful things and processes, and leaders of the workers who can make the useful things. “Too many new things? Too many improvements of things now used by the world? Ridiculous! Take automo- biles. The world needs more automo- | biles, not fewer, and I don't see how | any limit of their use can be imagined. | More automobiles demand more and better roads. Roads open up any | country to industry and commerce. And any country busy with industry |and commerce has no time or thought | for war. Busy World Bars War. “Improvements in present industries, | short-cuts in production of the world’s goods, new goods to serve human needs and legitimate desires—that is the broad highway of world peace, for that means a world busy in work and friendly and helpful exchange of goods, and such a werld has no time or incentive for human slaughter. “I want to emphasize my opinion that there is no danger of overdoing industry and commerce. The soil is capable of producing many times more food and materials than the people of the world ing baic liks Whyte-Fox )\ No. 2 knocks colds. Sold under Money-Back Guar- antee.

Development of power and of new and better methods of making the earth produce what human beings need and want is absolutely fundamental. “Water-power reserves should be de- veloped, for they represent a never- failing source of energy that may be turned into industries to keep the world happily at work, at a minimum of cost for the power indispensable to indus- try. Power sites will survive most of our present forms of industry. “No, there is not the slightest danger ! roducing anything of general use to the world. It is the inability to produce, the failure to get into the swing of industry and commerce, that drives nations into poverty, discontent and willingness to go to war to get the things they have feiled to get by com- merce. More Rubber the Better. “It has been suggesied there ‘is a possibility that the development of a 4,000,000-acre rubber plantation in Brazil may ruin the rubber market. The reverse is true. The more rubber the better it will be for'the rubber in- dustry all the way through—and that applies to synthetic rubber as well. Prices will keep up instead of dropping, for surplus of rubber will force new uses. There are thousands of new uses for rubber in its different forms, but we will never discover all these until we produce so much that we will have to study how to utilize it. Supply makes demand, and then demand in- creases the supply. “It was only a few years ago that rubber floors came into use. We looked at them with a bit of suspicion. Now they are in great demand. Rubber for top dressing of pavements is being tried. There is a probability it will prove as good as anything now used, possibly better. We are reaching a point where our chief materials will not be the e and dustproof construction. August Sale Price.. AUGUST 4, Usy PART 1 things we mine, but the things we grow. “What is true of production of auto- mobiles and rubber is true of every- thing that can be used by people. There is no danger of over-production of common necessities and commodities if means of pushing these things out into the world market are provided. ‘The danger is in the other direction. “Nature stands ready to supply every- thing needed to keep the world busy and happy and peaceful. It is up to thoughtful men and women to provide the means of helping nature on the job. If they do that, war and war talk and preparations for war will go into the discard of history. “The States of this Union are at peace with each other because they are bound together, fundamentally, by use- ful arts and crafts and commerce. Get the world into that condition—that is the easiest way to prevent war. And it is the only permanent preventive of war. (Copyright, 1920, by North American News- baper Alliance.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 3.— While State officers searched Central and North Alabama today for five prisoners who escaped late yesterday from the State penitentiary at Speig- ner, 18 miles from here, the convict department announced the dismissal of the guard who was overpowered by the convicts and whose keys they used in liberating themselves. The guard, J. P. Richardson, who had charge of the cotton miil where the con- victs were employed, was discharged be- cause of “carelessness,” Hamp Draper. nead of the department, said. Richard- son was recovering from a severe maul- ing at the hands of the convicts.

EXPORT FROM CHINA IN 6 MONTH Figures Made Public in Consular Report Indicate Increased ! H Stability of Country. By the Assccisted Press. SHANGHAI, August 3.—Chinese edé ports to the United States passing through Shanghai for the first half of 1929 totaled $29,000,000 gold, showing an increase of $3,500,000 as compared with the same period in 1928. The figures, made public in the Amer- ican consular report, are interpreted in local commercial circles as indicative of China’s _increasingly stabilized condis’ tion in the interior of the country per= mitting increased commercial activity, which had been sharply curtailed dur-; ing the past few years because of civil war and the Nationalist revolution. American motorcar imports were stated to be an outstanding example, many agencies exceeding their entire year’s business for 1928 during the half year of 1929.
