At a session last night the delegates were addressed by Miss Mary Anderson, director of the United States Women's Bureau, who, in referring to general industrial problems, asserted more at- tention and scientific study had been given to the machines than to the men and women operating them. “No one knows where we are going in these days of efficlency changes,” Miss Anderson continued. “There are more shoes, more radios, more automo- biles and fewer buyers. Machines don't wear shoes nor buy cars and workers are becoming fewer in factories and workshops through the growing efi- clency of machines.” Lawrence H. Sloan, vice president of the Standard Statistics Co of New York, another speaker last night, pre- dicted a continued depression in in- dustry until next Spring. Alvin T. Simons, president of the Simons Steel & Saw Co., declared there has been little gain in economic intelligence on the part of business executives since 1920. Leaders with more Xnowledge were described by him as the need of the time.

STATE SEEKS BB FOR QUESTIONING Washburn Desires Informa- tion Regarding Metal and Mining Shares. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 16.—Assistant Attorney General Washburn announced | yesterday that Charles V. Bob, missing banker, capitalist and engineer, faces possible arrest unless he returns to New York State within the next two days. The State wants to question him con- cerning Metal & Mining Shares, Inc, and Rainbow Luminous Products Co. Washburn said examination of two officials of the Metal & Mining Shares, | of which Bob was chairman of the board, had disclosed that a list of stocks filed with his office by the Cor- poration, showing securities on hand to the value of more than $6,000,000 as of December 31, 1929, had been’ falsified. The men questioned, George L. John- son, president of the firm. and Louis | P. Jubien, treasurer, told Washburn, he said, they had signed the report to'the Bureau of Securities without knowledge | of its contents. Washburn said filing of false information with his office was a misdemeanor punishable by two years in_jail. Meanwhile, the State prosecutor was attempting to trace a telephone call to an official of Metal & Mining shares by a man who said he was Frederick Russell, Bob's secretary. Russell van- ished with the banker. Bob has been a well known figure in New York during the past few years. He | was known as an “angel of aviation,” a friend of prominent financiers, a patron of church and science. Com- | paratively little is publicly known of his | early career. Rumor has it that he was once an | engineer in Guatemala and continucd his work in the gold ficlds of Nevada. At one time he attracted public no-| tice by his habit of fying to the golf links to save time. Perhaps his first contact with large headlines was a project to build a series of floating island airports across the Atlantic. Change 5t go\crnment hai not hurt trade in North China.

STIMSON CALLS POLlCE FOR PROWLER IN HOME Hearing a tapping noise, as if a bur- glar were trying to force his way in through & second-story window of his residence, at 3000 Cathedral avenue, early last night, Secretary of State Stimson telephoned No. 14 precinct, and three police cars were dispatched to the scene. The officers could find no trace of any prowler. The police detail, led by Lieut. Mc- Gill Grove, made a thorough search of the grounds and surrounding neighbor- hood, without result, nor could they find evidence of the window having been tampered with. It was not thought necessary to post a guard after the officers concluded their investigation. In addition to Lieut. Grove, Acting Sergt. J. Mills and Policemen T. A. Brown, J. W. Peters and George Weaver participated in the search. The Secretary said that, while he did not see me supposed prowler, he heard the noise FREE Recipes of Deep Sea Dishes. Write us.
