You know, those fellows kept making remarks and flashing bulbs Wallace Warns Of Farm Danger Fort Dodge, Iowa, Aug. 24 Henry Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture on a speaking tour of the mid-West, left the with Iowa farmers today that "a return to the unbearable situation of 1932-33 is in store for agriculture if the AAA is abandoned." In an address on interdependence of agriculture and business, Secretary Wallace said last night, "Gains made in the past 18 months by both business and agriculture are purely temporary unless the AAA is made a permanent fixture. If weather conditions are ordinary, there is no inflation and the AAA is abandoned I predict a drop In hog prices to $4 or less by 1938." Wallace said that unbiased figures showed that both industrial and ag ricultural income dropped nearly 70 per cent between 1929 and 1933, taking the recession together, step by step.

The recovery of agricultural prices in the past year, he said, had been matched by increased automobile registrations, bank deposits, farm land values, construction expenditures and merchandise sales. Supporting his prophecy of a hog price drop in absence of the AAA, Wallace said that in the past 50 to 60 years swine prices have risen from a low to high point and back again in 3-year cycles. Defending production control in connection with corn loans, Wallace said, "It is suicide to make such loans in great volume without production brakes."

Inllv niwhere to rtnltln In deUII Bronn, Brooklyn and Queens OFFICE STREET, BRONX I'hone RAnnnnd B-luan i Creates Code Similar to 6 That Regulated Industry in Days of NRA Washington, Aug. 24 (F) A new Federal alcohol control plan headed tonight toward the musty vault where the tSate Department keeps the laws of the land. At least twice during the session It waa killed and resurrected all because of a fight over what some termed the "whisky trust." But on the last day only a perfunctory Senate vote was needed to send the bil to President Roosevelt's certain signature.

The measure was fairly simple. It created, in the Treasury Department, a new Federal Alcohol Administration, to have charge a code much like the six which regulated the entire liquor Industry before NRA was declared unconstitutional. What It Would Forbid The new code, for example, would forbid such things as false misrepresentation on labels and belittling of a competitor's product. There was no particular hitch in that. But the House Ways and Means Committee, largely at the Insistence of Representatives Fuller Ark.) and Duncan had insisted upon permitting the sale of liquor In and from barrels.

The final bill barred barrel sales, and before the House today approved the conference agreement with the Senate, Fuller predicted that "this will cause us a bigger liquor scandal than ever existed before prohibition." Another thing to which Fuller and some others objected was the fact the bill would establish no Federal control over breweries, although It would apply to distillers, wholesalers, warehousemen and distributors. 17 High School Licenses Granted Seventeen Brooklyn and Queens residents were granted license by the Board of Examiners to teach commercial subjects in high school.

24 OP) A command "not to the right or to the left but straight ahead with Roosevelt" echoed through the Milwaukee auditorium today as delegates to the second national convention of Young Democrats tackled the task of approving resolutions. Issued by former Gov. A. G. Schmedeman, the only Democratic executive of Wisconsin in 40 years, the Injunction marked the high spot of the second and final day of the gathering.

Its estimated 1,500 delegates arose to their feet to applaud when Schmedeman declared Wisconsin would support the President "first, second and all the time." John Roosevelt Present Among his Interested listeners was John Roosevelt, youngest son of the President, who sat on the platform, following the speaker's words closely. With consideration of resolutions, the convention became involved in a dispute which summoned the ser-geant-at-arms, James Finnegan, to the rostrum. Harlan Kelly, a delegate from Shebaygan, Wis, was led away, denouncing what he call-d "gag rule" when he was barred from reading a proposal. Kelley previously had offered a resolution to the Wisconsin caucus, criticizing President Roosevelt for what Kelley said was patronage to Wisconsin progressives. The State group voted against its presentation to the general body.

Best Co. Has Steady Gains With only a moderate gain in sales volume during the past 2 years, Best Co, has steadily reduced its operating ratio and thus materially increased net showing for stock. Ratio of inventory to total turnover also has shown a steady decline for years, stock on hand at the close of 1934 being only 7 percent of the year's sales, against 8.4 percent in 1933 and 9 percent in 1929. Net profit per dollar of sales declined from 8.75 cents in 1929 to 2.96 cents in 1932, rising to 6.35 cents the following year and to 7.60 cents in 1934. In the first half of this year net profit per dollar sold was 7 cents but this compared with only 5.1 cents in the like 1934 period.

Other things being equal it is reasonable to expect that with the year end business operating net will be increased for the year. Increased turnover indicated by reduction in inventory ratio should mean a corresponding reduction in possible losses from overstock. The downward trend in stocks has been accompanied by a sharp gain in cash, which increased from $134,993 in 1932 to $1,577,307 (including U. S. Government securities) at the close of 1934.

Best had succeeded in showing a profit on its common stock throughout the depression. Net in 1932 fell to $1.05 a share compared with $3.02 the year previous and $4.20 in 1929. Last year Best showed $3.14 a share. Net for the first half of the current year (six months to July 31) was $1.42 against $1.17 for the first 1934 half. Assuming a similar gain in the six months to December total for the year will not fall very far short of the 1929 showing.

In the six years ended Jan. 31, 1935, Best has carried to surplus after some minor adjustments an aggregate of $2,842,719. Of this $1,232,368 was used to Increase working capital, $1,164,303 for property, $332,913 placed in Investments. Outstanding preferred was also re-uuced $26,400.

150-10 Hillside Ave. JAmaica 6-6670 i -By Cant. Reginald V. Peel Cunard White Star liner Aquitania claims that Spanish is the most important foreign language to the residents of the United States. In Uncle Sam's Porto Rico Spanish is taught in all the lower grades, he says.

It is the language of many thousands of Americans on the Mexican border, as it is also in the Canal Zone, the Philippines, Guam and Guan-tanamo. In New Mexico the laws are printed in both English and Spanish. More than a hundred million people on this hemisphere speak Spanish. The New World began to speak the language of Cervantes when Columbus colonized Hispaniola, which once comprised the mainland as well as the islands of the Caribbean. Long before the founding of Jamestown and Plymouth, Spaniards were not only exploring and adventuring on this hemisphere, but diffusing their language and culture by planting settlements, setting up printing presses and founding universities, Spanish was the dominant language of the southwestern part of the United States less than a hundred years ago.

In many towns in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona Spanish Is almost as necessary as English. Los Angeles, one of the country's largest Mexican cities, has a Spanish-speaking element larger than the entire population of Schenectady. It publishes a Spanish daily with a EEHIfriH hnnklt an Seaucit fiuuN Vmiu tt. Miy. PMT bum DON of the So Mexican is San Antonio that it publishes a riailv paper with a circulation of 11.000.

New York has a Spanish theater with vaudeville and motion pictures in Spanish. A great Spanish newspaper is printed daily. "The Spanish era," says Captain Peel, "left the United States a heritage of words which became 'naturalized' and passed into current speech. These words live on in certain State names, such as Colorado, California and Montana, some 2,000 town names, numerous mountain, river and plant names, and in a host of other familiar terms. Adobe, adios, arroyo, bonanza, burro, canyon, calaboose, mesa, manana, mustang, plaza and patio, whatever their present spelling, are as Spanish in oriKin as the Conquistadores.

"The West borrowed the cattle business from below theRio Grande, together with the cowboys clothes and horse equipment, his methods of riding, roping, rounding-up and branding. It also imported much of his language bronco, quirt, lasso, lariat, rodeo, rancho and other terms. "Indian words with first a Spanish then an Knglish twist In spelling also are part of our speech heritage from Spain. Potato, tomato, tobacco, mesquite, chocolate, quinine, henequin, maize, cannibal, canoe these and other native terms the Spaniards took from Mexico, Peru, the Caribbean islands and elsewhere, then passed them on to us. "The war with Spain and the opening of the Panama Canal quickened the lniorest of Americans in things Spanish previously aroused by Prescott, Irving and Longfellow.
