Former Student Pays for Laundry After 26 Years By the Associated Press. DANVILLE, Va., December 10.— 0. L. Roach, presideat of a laun- -| dry company, yesterday cited an unusual example of honesty. Back in 1910, a student at Trinity College, N. C.. now Duke University, acted as agent for the local laundry to help finance his education. He left school owing the concern $71.30. Today Roach received a check for $220 to settle the account with interest. The name of the former student was not divulged. Byrd Collects News Cartoons Lampooning and Praising Him Originals Line Office of Virginia Sen- ator, Telling Story of His Political Career in Recent Years. Senator Harry Flood Byrd, the gentleman from Virginia, doesn't ob- Ject to seeing himself as others see him—not from the viewpoint of car- foonists, anyway. Each day he spends in his office bere the Senator can view what the artists of the press have thought of his publi® career, dating back to his term as Governor of Virginia, 1926- pointed his own Government Reor- ganization Committee, after Byrd had achieved the chairmanship of & sim- ilar Senate group, is suggested by a cartoon in which the Senator sits at the dinner table, knife and fork poised expectantly, as the President takes from under his nose a dish labeled “Government Reorganization,” with the remark: “Sorry, Harry, but I've Outstanding food values for your week-end shopping!

Taking the bad along with the good, Byrd several years ago began collect- ing originals of newspaper cartoons created about his political activities. Today the walls of his private sanctum n the Senate Office Building are lined with some 30 or more of these news- paper caricatures, all carefully framed. Though the visitor is free to look his fill at these works of art, Byrd has Bo inclination to point out favorites. The collection is just a whim, he indi- eates, not a hobby. But the visitor can imagine him chuckling prviately over the portrayal of his triumphs, as well as the satirical jibes at his less pop- wlar political efforts. Baromreter of His Career. Scarcely a complete and accurate history of his career, these pen and ink and charcoal sketches are, none | the less, a pretty valuable barometer | ef the current impression of the Sen- ator’s public life. For instance, the Byrd passion for economy 1n government, both for his State of Virginia and the country at large, have inspired newspaper artists | to represent the Senator in various Foles. 1In one sketch he is a disobedient lad, beating violently on a drum labeled *Byrd Billion Dollar Tax Bill,” to the extreme annoyance of Farley and Roosevelt, who are fearful lest he wake the taxpayer, an infant momentarily ot rest and peace in his crib, com- forted by a toy called “No Increase n Taxes in 1936.” Again, he is a mischievous specta- Yor at a fan dance performance, armed with shears desginated as “Economy Resolutions,” and obviously intent on making trouble for a not very glori- fled Sally Rand, who is represented as the New Deal wielding feathers la-n beled “Government Extravagance” and “Overlapping Agencies.” In Unfriendly Light. In a more unfriendly light, the Sen- ator, in another scene, with Gov. Peery of Virginia, looks on idly while Virginia’s “Relief Problem” and “Old- Age Pension,” which have fallen through the ice in a frozen pond, struggle wildly to keep from drown- ing. These are displayed with prom- | tnence equal to the position the Sen- ' ator has given the cartoon referring | to the Byrd presidential boom of '32, | where he is pictured as a lusty infant ; rapidly outgrowing the cradle of “Vir- | ginia's Favorite Son.” | That his reorganization of the Vir- | ginia tax system, during his guberna- torial term, was successfully accom- plished is indicated in the cartoon in which Byrd, as Little Jack Horner, sticks in his thumb and pulls out | “$1,569,883.07 saved by the new tax system.” And that he may have been @hagrined when the President ap- 25,000 Alaskan Furs Auctioned Off at Seattle Fine Pelts Offered at Highest Prices Since 1929. B the Associated Press. SEATTLE, December 10.—The Es- | kimos’ necessity became Park Avenue's | luxury yesterday. Twenty-five thousand furs, mostly from Alaska, were offered for auction | here at the highest prices since 1929, Trappers and dealers explained Righer prices were due to: Fatter pocketbooks, early Winter and the big business done by salmon eanneries in Alaska this season. Charles Goldstein, an Alaskan sour- dough who flew more than 5,000 miles over the Far North to gather his furs, | explained the salmon angles thusly: “We didn’t catch many dark mink | this year because salmon canneries at the mouth of the Yukon ran full | blast. Salmon meat makes the silky coats of Alaskan mink. “This season good mink furs were | hard to find because their salmon diet was small. But the ones we did| get are the finest in many years.” | Sale of more than 10,000 mink fea- | tured the auction. Average prices will | be posted after the auction ends. | More than 2,500 silver fox skins were | offered at prices ranging from $50 to 8300 each. The silver fox skin was | once so extremely rare as to bring $3,000 a pelt. Now it is the backbone ©f the fur-farming industry in the Pacific Northwest. One thousand sable, the last word in fur luxury, were offered. Sable is a trade name for marten, a soft, silky Srown fur shading into blackish brown on tail and legs, grayish on the head with a big orange spot sometimes on she throat. Other pelts for auction included 30,000 muskrat, 2,500 wolf and various dots of beaver, fox and wolverine. Each month buyers from all over the world converge on §eattle to buy Alaskan furs. About 80 per cent of the | furs in Alaska are sold here. Trappers, as a rule, sell their furs through brokers. In the last eight years Alaska has shipped 4,000,910 furs, worth more than $25,000,000. Red fox led with & total value of $4,760,217, closely fol- fowed by mink at $4,513,864. Health-Aiding Food FOR DOGS! Thrivo is more thanadog food witis Health food with less starch!

LESS STARCH oo been thinking of this for a long time.” Even the Senator’s annual apple harvest festival—he is famed for his orchards—held a degree of political significance for one cartoonist who pictured Byrd as a sort of Apple Annie in the act of representing his political favorites—in the shape of apples—as much superior to their op- position.

BLUE POINTS What you are primarily interested in in eggs is their freshness. But freshness alone doesn’t make an egg! Good eggs depend on the chickens which lay them—the breed, what they have eaten and now they have been cared for. Giant eggs come from White Leghorns—whose prime purpose in life is to lay eggs. They are not to be confused with ordinary chickens. These White Leghorns are scientifically fed—corn, bran-mash, buttermilk and cod liver oil are the basis of their diet. Penned up and cared for, they are not permitted to roam and feed at will. There is a strict diet. They are the aristrocrats of the egg layers—their eggs are the finest nature produces. That is why Giant sells them! We know they are strictly fresh—we know you can ‘t get a better egg anywhere—and we know the price is the lowest in the city.
