Correspondents assigned to the East Bengal tour of Mohandas K. Gandhi have been holed up for the past fortnight in the remote Moslem village of Shrirampore. To get to the nearest telegraph office, they had to walk 30 miles.

John Gottfried said that perhaps "people were more honest in those days." But in the depression honesty dwindled and slugs increased. Gottfried tried again in 1935, and found a ready market. Now in his big, new St. Louis factory, 283 employes turn out 96% of all the slug rejectors...
