One entire village of 900 peasants arrived from Herzegovina, a picturesque crowd many of whom had sworn not to shave for three months In token of their grief, For two days Alexander's body lay in state in the palace while the people passed by the bier.

In mak ing known his view, the President like wise for the first time tossed over board the plans of many theorists for stabilization of prices on the basis of the 19268 price range and adopted In stead something approximating the av. erage of quotations existing in the pe riod between 1000 and 1914. Although Mr. Roosevelt never has publicly espoused the 1926 price level as such, his discussions have given rise to a general belief that the parity ex {sting around that time constituted a relationship between farm products and industrial products which was sat isfactory to him. Therefore, when he said the other day that he preferred the 1000-14 level, he turned his face from the position occupled by numer ous groups, such as the committee for the nation and several farm organiza tions that have contended the 1020 re lationship between farm and industrial prices should be the goal. Most Washington observers agree that the administration is alert to the dangers of runaway resulting not so much from the unbalanced con dition of the budget and paper infla tion as from uncontrolled and un erned credit expansion. In other words, it is believed the President recognizes threats of a dangerous boom which, if it occurred, and was followed by the inevitable collapse, would lk our country in the’ throes of another depression, In a conference with tf few days ago, Mr. newspaper correspondents cation of a conviction that tions involve many at the partiedlaz moment quite lmpos sible of He she too, in the on nany of the writers, that he Is n« vice of the theorists some practical considers doctrines they advance, he President's positio a desire to find ways and preventing wide fluctuations In modity prices such as t} characterized quotations in periods like 1020 to 1080, How far he will get in working out such a system is of course, entirely sroblematienl, but his comprehension of the problem has been accepted by the conservative with more enthusiasm than they have given heretofore to his pronounce ments, prices, gov eave the President loosevell gave every indi price ques factors that are ascertainment. wed, opini ollowing ad com ose that have 1 element » . * Mr. Roosevelt believes that the na- tion is solvent.

Ar rival of this condition, therefore. has prompted him to give thought to the question of putting ing prices. It is my that the brakes are not yet. He intends, them ready for away boom appears None of the inistration men are willing at this time to close statistics which will represent the price level that Is satisfactory to them. It Is sald, nevertheless, to be a per centage somewhat higher than now ob tains, The commodity index of the bureau of labor statistics shows farm products now at 728 which research discloses 8 not far below the period from 1000 to 1014. The low point of this index figure for 1934 was 57.4. and the low point of the depression in March, 1083, was 428 Of course, In. dex figures do not breathe life, but when two sets of them are arranged slongside each other, they become at Jenst a basis of comparison, and after all, comparison Is the best basis for Judgment. In some quarters of Washington 1 hear expressions to the effect that Mr, Roosevelt's latest move regarding prices indicates a conviction that res. toration of the country’s solvency is more important in the general recoy- ery program than a good many of the theoretical and untried remedies brought Into use in the last fifteen months, Hls price proposals obvious ly have not ended conjecture as to pos sible new moves. The program being in generalities did not cause fears to subside concerning future tampering with the monetary structure nor did general the point on brakes for ris ngerstanding to be applied keep run however, to use in case the spokes dis price sure on commerce and Industry result codes, Taken as a whole, the Washington pleture at present is viewed by many astute observers as an indieation that Mr. Roosevelt is trying to get together with those who would relesse credit if given reasonable assurances as to future plans of the administration, It must be sald that Mr. Roosevelt has not been coaxing business leaders into the White House. It can be sald with equal force, however, that he Is being kept Informed fully as to what these business leaders think, That being true, It seems to be a proper predic tion that the administration is search ing quietly for ways of compromise and Is hoping at least that thers can be proposals in the next congress which will have the support of a con- siderable segment of business, a seg- ment that is decidedly not pulling with the administration now doubts the efficacy of the brain trust proposals, ® 9 » into a tough adversary right here in the National Capl- NRA Faces ty in a firm by the Bitter Fight name of W. F. Rob- erts company, incor- porated, The Roberts company de. clined to sign the graphic arts code, the code that applies to printing and allied industries. Having refused to sign the code the Roberts company paid no attention to the pro- visions governing wages and hours of labor, so NRA turned the case over to its lawyers for prosecution, and that was the beginning of a fight that prom ises to be as bitter as any yet arising from New Deal legislation, The NRA lawyers, armed with aff davits of eight Roberts’ employees to the effect that they were not recelv- ing minimum code wages and were working more han the maximum hours, sought In an injunction in the Distriet of Columbia courts to prevent the corporation from violating the code further. Their contention was that the code applied to the Roberts company its refusal to sign because it was drafted with the assent of a jority of the printing industry, the court declined to grant the in} tion, deciding that the mld be tried on its merits.

Each doctor is a specialist, with a single prescription supposed to cure everything. When & mem- ber of a family gets sick, the fam. fly calls in as many doctors as they can afford to pay.
