* INDUSTRY LOCATES IN VIRGINA TONN New Venture in Lamp Shade Making Will Start at Kinsale. By the Assaetdted Press. WARSAW, Va. September 20—A new industry, of & peculiar and inter- esting nature;, has recently moved into the Northern Neck section of Virginia and will begin active operation immedi- Located at Kinsale, near here, the plant will engage in fashioning lamp f & shedes from a thin, translucent pearl shell found ony in the Philippine After canvassing the territory in this section, officials of the company an- nounced their decision to locate here because of desirable climatic conditions, deep water transportation, reasonable rents and favorable labor conditions. The company was founded by E. H. ‘Wardwell of New York City, who during the World War was located in tne Philippines. While there Mr. Wardwell became interested in the manner in which Philippine artisans fashioned the shells, and found that for years before ‘American occupation of the islands the shells had been used instead of glass in the windows and doors of native houses, and even in the massive stone houses of the Spanish conquerors. Many of these shell windows were found to be in a pood state of preservation de- spite blistering tropic heat, typhoons and earthquakes. On his return to America Mr. Ward- well organized a company to manufac- ture the shells into leaded lamp shades and thorcugh scientific pxperimentation subsequently conducted, it was found that through a baking process the shelh would take on a beautiful gold color. These shells so treated are mounted on airplane plyboard with a special quality glue™and the product used as a wall covering $imilar to tile. The shell 1s found only in the Philip- pine Archipelago and s obtained by native divers. - The first order to be executed by the Kinsale plant will be for the new lyboard to be installed on Matson ine steamers now under construction at Boston, which will operate between San Prancisco and the Orient.

By the Associated Press. ROME, Sept. 20.—Italy’s claim that economic clouds menace her less than most other countries is being voiced ever more Joudly. Primarily, this may be to keep up courage, to convince Italians they are better off here than people under other forms of government. Secondarily, al- though perhaps not avowedly, the claim may be asserted to strengthen Mus- solini’s hand in world affairs by in- creasing his prestige as a leader and a governor, Discipline and_organization are the official and unoficial explanations of how Italy is riding the storm without disorder, much public complaint or great misery. Roughly, official figures show drops of about one-third in all economic tables. Taxation, nearly all indirect. takes about 30 per cent of the national income. Unemployment was above & 15 now just comfortably The budget, like all budgets, is out of balance. Trade Falling Off. Wheat, which means bread and | macaroni, costs $1.35 a bushel, while the world market is around 50 cents, yet the farmers seem to need state aid and a big fund is devoted to sup- porting the market. Yet there are evidences of all this only to those who watch closely, and there are none of the signs that might presage disaster. Stores do little busi- ness, statistics showing & trade loss of two-fifths from three years ago. Yet the failures relatively are small, and most of them are unimportant. Organization of industry into Mus- solinf’s “corporate state” is given credit officially for keeplniI the ship steady. Factory production has been curtailed d rationed, in the sense that keen ompetition- has been eliminated, cer- tain plants doing the thin supposed to be best adap! to do. Labor, according to its defenders, has had reasonably fair play, because com- pulsory membership in the workers' representatives in all wage and work arguments, and an appeal to the Duce is counted on to get justice if the regu- lations don’t fit the case an average cut of 9 cents an hour for unskilled work, which with a 15 vPer cent reduction’ in the cost of living as really being 5 per cent better than then, and 50 per cent higher than be- fore the war, in purchasing power.

Or, the country cousin sends an occ: basket to the city cousin. “A million unemployed never means s million hungry,” says one economic co-operation.

The reduction of total ROOSEVELT NEGATIVE, People Will Vote Democratic to Hit Hoover, Socialist Can- didate Believes. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, September 20.—Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for Presi- dent, declared in an address last night that “such popularity as Gov. Roosevelt is developing throughout the country is wholly negative.” Thomas was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the Thomas-for-Presi- dent Committee, before his departure on a second coast-to-coast campaign tour. “I have yet to talk to any one around the country,” he sald, “who believes Roosevelt or the Democratic party offer anything constructive. They will vote for him and his party, if they vote at all, because they want to hit Hoover. * '+ + Except as an instrument of vengeance, these voters have no real faith at all in political action.” In talking of what he called “a drift toward Fascism” in the United States, ‘Thomas said: “Already we have inciplent organiza- tions which may conceivably have a Fascist future. I refer to such bodies as the so-called Blue Shirts and the Khaki Shirts. * * * “So far it has been our amazing good fortune to lack the gogues who can put toge!
