have ranged from cabinet officials
and other high dignitaries to news

ties with them on their week-end

Meanwhile, for those no more in

Many of Washington's brilliant

Alcohol Success as

HAVANA, Sept. 30. —<*V- The
use of ethyl alcohol as an anaesthe

demonstrated before the Medical
Society of France, passed equally

Discovered by two youthful Mex
ican doctors, Garcia Marin and
Francisco Ortiz, the ethyl alcohol!
! anaesthesia is declared to hold ad- J

U. S. Trade Balance
SYDNEY, Sept 10.—(AV- With
1928 figures showing a trade bal
ance in favor of the United States
of around 9188.000,000, Australia is
trying to find means for importing
less from America.
Several weeks before his cabinet
came a political cropper over the
law to rer U federal Industrial ar
bitration. .tanley M. Bruce, prime
minister earned the country that a
flood of cheap articles might be
expected to result from the manu
facturing acceleration in the Unit
ed States.
He appealed especially for Austra
lian auto manufacture, saying that
If the home industrialists would un
dertake to make parts, and gradual
ly work up to the production of
complete cars, the government would
stop the importation of cars contain
ing parts that could be obtained
here.
A goodly portion of Australia's im
ports consists of American auto
mobiles. Now plans an being made
for home production and one Mel
bourne company has announced the
early appearance of a car cheaper
than, but as good as, any American
car offered in Australia.

NANKING, Sept. 80.— (JVS —A
decree drawn up by the Central Ex
ecutive Committee of the National
ist government makes every able
bodied male between the ages of 18
and 50 liable to draft for work on
the good roads program which has
been formulated for China.
Indifference of a large section of
the population to the scheme for
national highways caused the Issu
ance of the decree. Motor travel .is
impossible In aimcw' every district
and few people have either seen an
automobile or care to look at one.
Ownership of a car Is not even
dreamed about. ^
Under these conditions the gorO
eminent scheme for a net work ogP-*
highways, coamecting all the prtiu f'
eipal centers of the country, was ■"
dying of lassitude. Enforcement cf
the decree, is expected to put life
Into the project.
Under the orders, all laborers
drafted for service wtl receive their
board and their families will be giv.
en maintenance doles. Those un
willing to work will be exempted on
payment of a fee. but the size of
this fee has not been determined.
SENTIMENT^ AFFECTS
MOVEMENTS OF GOLD
NEW YORK. Sept. 30.—<*>>— in
ternational bankers are having to
reckon on sentiment as a factor of
Increasing importance in gold move
ments.
Inflexible economic laws are sup- v
posed to govern shipments of gold
from one country to another. But
national sentiment in England at
the present time, is believed to bo
exerting considerable pressure on *
private owners of gold to check the
flow of metal to Paris and New
York.
Under present conditions of ex
change, bankers say, England nor
mally would be exporting much gold.
The fact that she is not, is attri
buted to the unfriendly publicity
that attends such activities on the
ground that they tend to weaken
England's gold position.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-(A>)
Washington is preparing for th**
longest and most brilliant social
season in years.
Several events contribute to the
unusually early opening of the sea
son and its lengthening into late
April. President Hoover's electing
to stay in the capital all summer
kept many important personages
here who ordinarily would have
gone abroad.
The extra session of congress
brought many congressmen and
their wives here far earlier than]
usual. The visit of Ttamsay Mac*
Donald, prime minister of England,
and his daughter Ishbel. early In
October will start the social season
off in earnest.
Prom then on it will be a round
or dinners, teas, receptions and
balls. Easter, the time when so
ciety sheds its bright garb und
goes into eclipse, comes very late—
April 20.
And not since jolly William How
?*rd Taft was president has a season
of such lavish entertaining at the
white House been anticipated as

Hoover regime.

Florida Winning
China Oil Trade
8HANGHAI, (**- The fact that
Florida planters have begun to
raise tung oil trees of both high
quality and In abundance has caus
ed a shiver In the Chinese In
dustry. Exports have already fallen
off to an amazing degree.
Tung oil, better known as Chin*
wood oil, is a necessary Ingredient
of paint driers and Is used in many
preservative preparations for roof
ing, iron and steel. It is especial
ly valuable in varnish. Its presence
imparting a luster to the finish
that gives a lacquer effect. It Is
also used in soap, Ink, drugs, paper
and water-proof silk.
Although its value has been
known In China fot, centuries, the
western world knew little about the
oil until 1886, when It was taken
across the Pacific by an American.
Now It has become a world-wide
commodity.
