KEEPING ABREAST WITH
NATIONAL NEWS EVENTS
The nation-wide textile strike was
ended Saturday as a direct and
prompt answer of labor leaders to the
personal appeal of President Roose-
"velt. The labor leaders hailed the re-
sult as a triumph—one of the great-
est in all labor history, and took the
position that they had joined hands
with the President in an orderly set-
tlement of the problems in the textile
business.
.Wide Cfltbs On NRA
Urged By Business
“A committee from the Chamber
•of Commerce of the United States
urges the following change to be
made in the NRA: That new legisla-
responds to the one left by the re-
ceiwr of the ransom. Former asso-
ciates of Hauptmann shows npte writ-
ten in hand of Hauptmann telling of
proposed kidnaping. “Jafsie’s” phone
number found on the closet wall in
Hauptmann’s home. Hauptmann is a
native of Germany, having escaped
prison in that country and fled to
America some eleven years ago. His
record in Germany is extremely bad.
Japan Suffers One
Of Worst Typhoons
The death toll of the Friday ty-
phoon in Japan was placed at 1,661,
one of the worst sea storms in the
history of the country. The nation be-
Ntion apply only to business engaged gan the grim task of relief and re-
in interstate commerce. That the
government take no part in actual
code making. That the government’s
powers be restricted to approval or
veto of codes. That the codes be en-
forced only against those signing
them, thus removing the government’s
power to compel compliance. That a
codified industry or any member there-
of have the right to abrogate a code.
"That provision be made for minority
and even individual representation in
collective bargaining with a ban on
“closed” union shops.
Kidnaper of Lindbergh
Baby Thought Found
Evidence is fast piling up against
Richard Hauptmann which will like-
ly convict him as one of the kidnapers
-of the Lindbergh baby. In his garage
was found over $13,000 of the ransom
money. His hand wrote all of the ran-
som notes according to belief of hand-
writing experts. His footprint cor-

habilitation in the vast industrial
areas of the nation laid to waste by
the catastrophe. There were 5,414 in-
jured, 562 missing, 18,000 buildings
destroyed, 862 buildings washed
away, 169,873 buildings flooded. As
far as known there were no Ameri-
cans injured in the storm.
Possible Reasons For
Drop In Cotton Price
Hedging operations against a stead-
ily increasing new crop movement de-
pressed prices on the cotton exchange
Saturday, and the list closed down
several points. Liquidation of October
contracts with only one day’s session
to complete operation, added to the
drop in the market. As the largest
volume of cotton sales and the settle-
ment of the textile strike took place
Saturday, it is hoped the price of cot-
ton will hold up.
Fewer Jobs Available
For Workers In Mills
Lack of new business during the
strike period, particularly in the wool-
en industry, reduced the number of
jobs available in mills closed by the
strike, when they reopened Monday.
Not more than two-thirds of those
employed before the walk-out will be
able to find work for at least a period
of two weeks and in some manufac-
turing centers the percentage will be
much smaller.
Man Weighing 638 Pounds
Has to Ride With Freight
Argentina claims the world’s fat-1
test-'-man:—He is - Pedro — Cafdozo, "at
butcher, weighing 638 pounds. He ar-
rived in Buenos Aires from Rosario
after traveling in a baggage car be-
cause he could not enter a coach. He
is 30 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall,
with a waist line of 7 feet and 10
inches, a forearm of one foot 10
inches, and a thigh of 3 feet and 9
inches. When he was 19 he weighed
only 158 pounds but he had to quit
work at 25 because he had reached
his present weight and could not stand
on his feet more than a few minutes
at a time.
Dead and Savings gone,
Canadian Sues for Life
Seventy-year-old Thomas Dresser
sued to have himself brought back to
life according to the court record.
When he walked with his savings
book to the bank he found he could
not draw on his account as he had
been declared dead. His property had
been divided among his relatives.

49 PER CENT OF RUSSIANS
UNDER 20 YEARS OF AGE
Russia heads the leading nations of
the world in “youthfulness,” with 49
per cent of its population under 20
years of age while, the United States,
ranking fifth, is behind Japan, Italy
and Australia, statisticians reveal in
discussing shifts in age distribution
and their bearing on economic con-
ditions and the probable coming sta-
bilization of the American popula-
tion. In 1926, Russia stood in about
the same youthful position in which
the United States stood in 1850, when
more than half of our people were
under 20 years of age. By 1930, how-
ever, the percentage in the United
States had fallen to 38.8 which rep-
resents a decline of more than 26 per
cent.
Population statistics obtained for
nine nations for years ranging vari-
ously from 1921 to 1930 form the ba-
sis for the comparison and show that
the United States stands in the mid-
dle of the list in point of youthful-
ness, with England ami Wales, Ger-
many, Austria and France in the or-
der given, lagging behind this coun-
try.
Naturally, as the percentage of
population in the younger ages de-
creases, the percentage in the older
ages increases. While in 1850 only 2.6
per cent of Americans had reached
the age of 65 or more, the percentage
in 1930 had practically doubled to 5.4.
The percentage given for Russia is
4.1 and for France 9.2.
Referring to the youthfulness of
Russia and the rather constant com-
position of the population of France,
a bulletin says: “The condition in
Russia, where nearly one-half of the!
population is under 20, makes for
national vigor, initiative and other
qualities associated with youth. At
the other extreme we see France
with less than one-third of its peo-
ple under 20 years of age.

somewhat pessimistic supposition
then we may expect that our own
future age distribution will include! 1
about 27.6 per cent of all persons un-
der 20 years of age, 56.8 between the
ages of 20 and 64, and 15.6 at ages
65 and over.
“To some such scale as this we
must learn to adjust all our planning
for the social and economic life of
our future population. This factor
might easily be overlooked with ser-
ious consequences to the body-politic.
“It has been characteristic of our
history since the colonial period that
we have lived in an era of expansion,
and, in the earlier days, at any rate,
of very rapid expansion. Our sides
and our point of view are largely]
born of that atmosphere. We must
learn to realize the fact that such ex-
pansion cannot continue indefinitely, I
that we have already entered a per-
iod of much more deliberate growth,
and are approaching a time of essen-
tially stable population. This is no
occasion for any alarmist fears, hut
it is a time in which to revise our!
general attitude in sober thought,
without fear but also without illu-:
sion. In the end the most solid pol-
icy is inevitably that which is found-
ed on fact.”

r 11IIE best way to get at the truth behind
-L the fine things you hear and read about
the new Chevrolet, is to get in the car and
drive. Take this car, drive it over the same
routes, in the same way you drive your present
automobile, and let the results you can see
and feel tell their own story. You have heard
that Knee-Action makes bad roads good, and
good roads better. A ride will prove it. You
have heard that Chevrolet provides shock-
proof steering, Syncro-Mesh gear-shifting, a
remarkably flexible 80-horsepower engine, and
cable-controlled brakes. A few minutes at
One Ride
is worth a thousand
words
the wheel will show you what a difference
these advancements make in safety and driv-

step out refreshed and ready for more, yon
will know why so many thousands have found
it impossible to return to ordinary driving
after an experience like this. That is the
Ownership Test—easy, enjoyable, and the
most practical way to choose a car.
