KOREA TO BE DEVELOPED Industrial development of North Korea on a large scale will be undertaken by an economic commission consisting of government officials and Japanese business men. Governor General Minarm has in mind promoting such manufacturing industries as electric bullos, cotton textiles, rayon textiles, aluminum, magnesium, cement, wheat flour, beer, and silk reeling. The nitrogen industry has already achieved substantial development.

At present the production of chemicals is Korea's key industry, which will be expanded. For many years following annexation, Japan's policy was centered on agricultural development. All industries in Korea are prospering at present.

All About STAMPS AND COLLECTORS Hammond and the Region H. JAMES EVANS According to Acting Postmaster General Roy M. Worth, the postal department is considering three more stamps in connection with the constitution, and that when the first trans-Atlantic service starts it is more than likely there will be another Clipper stamp. In his speech before the Chicago collectors he mentioned that the department was seriously considering a series of stamps honoring outstanding Americans. The Swedish stamp mentioned for next year will be called by the department another state stamp regardless of the fact it celebrates the first Swedish settlement in America.

Perhaps it was feared that if this was issued soley in honor of the Swedish people (who are presenting the American people with a monument at this time) they would as time went on find it necessary to issue stamps for other countries. There may be diplomatic reasons why this stamp will not be called the Swedish stamp, but from the outside it certainly looks as though it was golden opportunity for a friendly gesture towards another country While on the subject of proposed or requested stamps for next year a copy of the resolution passed by the National Star Route Carrier; association, at their convention in Louisville shows the following: Resolved, That we, the National Star Route Carriers' association, favor a memorial stamp being issued to memoralize the history and service of the Star Route Carriers." It was also learned that the Association of Letters Carriers passed a similar resolution at their convention in Milwaukee, about letter carriers. Thus we find the members of Mr. Farley's great family are asking for stamps to honor their branch of the service. F.

STRAUBE PIANO TO DOUBLE PAY BOLL IN MONTH President Schrage Reports Retail Shortage Forces Output Increase Marvin T. Smith In continuous service with the where he first secured em- C.

I. Li. railroad since 1878, Marvin T. Smith of 30 Douglas atreet Hammond, resigned last week as a section foreman with a record, which officials of the Monon route declared was one of the finest attained by any rail employe under their supervision. During his 59 years on the Monon route, Smith's record ia unmarred by a single demerit due to neglect, derailment or injury to subordinates.

Smith was born in Rossville, ployment wit nine Monon route. He is happily married and the father of Mrs. Bessie Smith Minas and Clyde Smith, both of Hammond. On the medal Smith is wearing is struck the old "Admiral," steam- driven locomotive which was the pride of the line in the ISM'S. The medal was awarded for 25 years service.

When Smith completed his 50th year of service he was presented with a life time pass on the route by H. R. Kurn, railroad trustee. The national movement to revive the piano as America's favorite musical instrument has injected an optimistic note into activity at the Straube Piano plant, 5049 Columbia avenue, Hammond. The new concern which manufactures the latest models of pianos for wholesale and retail market-, is expected to boost its employment to 90 men in 30 days, according to M.

B. Pattiz, vice president and general manager, who formerly headed the Lauter Humana Piano Manufacturing company of Newark, N. J. At present the rirm is employing 45 persons with an annual payroll of 540,000. The larger force wil! increase the payroll to $74,000.

The Hammond manufacturer will inaugurate a new plan that will relieve purchasers of piano price guesswork. Innovation of new low models which can be moved by two persons to any convenient parlor corner, is a far cry from the bulky music boxes that required six men I and a horse for moving. Walter E. Schrage, of Whiting, president of the company, and Harry Powers, Whiting attorney, treasurer, declare production ia being stepped up to fill a wide demand for pianos. It is the first time that a shortage in the piano line was pronounced.

This stamp depicts a fish that rawls on land in search of food; which swims swiftly, but will drown if left in clear water.

WILL INQUIRE INTO PRACTICE OF MONOPOLY WASHINGTON, Nov. --The federal trade commission announced today that it would undertake an immediate investigation nto reports that monopolistic prac- and "other unwholesome methods of competition" were partly responsible for the higher cost of iving. Today's action was in response .0 a letter from the president, ask- ng an inquiry into the alleged prac- ices.

The commission said it would report the results of its landings to the president as early as practicable. The commission gave effect to its action by approving a resolution in which cognizance was taken of the president's letter and the fact that a section of the federal trade commission organic act granted it authority to conduct such an investigation. The commission will call on its experts Monday to submit a plan of procedure for the investigation, request by President Roosevelt. The experts, an FTC official explained, will determine procedure in both the economic and legal phases of the inquiry. There was little likelihood that any public hearings will be held.

The scope of the investigation also will have to be considered, but the official said it possibly will take in major commodities such as foodstuffs, clothing, textiles and building materials. 5 WELL KNOWN SHRINERS INJURED LEBANON, Ind Nov. --Five i Indianapolis Shriners were injured when their automobile skidded on hard-packed snow on U.

Three of the men, seriously hurt, according to police, were: Charles S. Barker, secretary of the Murat temple. Edwin E. Temperley, illustrious potentate of Murat temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Lloyd D.

Miller, engineer and maintenance man at the temple. The gorup was en route to Indianapolis from Lafayette after attending the inauguration of a shrine club.

The accident was attributed to a day-long snowstorm which made the highway treacherous.

The victims were brought to Witham hospital here. HE STILL HOVERS NEAR HIS LOYER MISHAWAKA, Nov. 20.

(U.P.) John Palermo, lightly clad and shivering, today still hovered near the residence of his sweetheart despite freezing weather and a session with the department. Palermo, he say.i, is in love with a Mishawaka girl whose name police did not disclose. When her father proved to be unsympathetic to his romance and ordered Palermo not to set foot in his house again, the 25-year-old suitor pitched a lean-to in the woods near his girl's home. Police, responding to phone calls of the residents of the vicinity, found Palermo shivering over a small campfire, clad only in overalls and a light sweater. He protested against being taken to the police station, saying he would rather endure the fury of the elements than leave the girl of his love.

The girl's father explained that he objected to the romance because Palermo has a wife from whom he is estranged and two small children. PREACHEB ON STAND PITTSFIELD, Nov. S)--The Rev. C. Ellsworth Newton, Baptist preacher, took the witness stand at 10:33 a.
