Harding street, between Troy avenue and Bluff road, will be opened within a week, adding four and onehalf miles of new concrete to the highway network. Resurfacing of Troy avenue from Shelby street to Harding street has been completed, and the road was opened recently. Keystone avenue, resurfaced irom Fall creek boulevard to Sixty-second street, was opened to traffic last week. Surface treatment is being given about twenty-five additional miles of road in all parts of the county, Mann said. Major paving projects are being pushed toward completion before winter, and include Shelbyville road, West Seventy-first street, West Tenth street and Arlington avenue. The latter roads are being laid in a sixty-foot right-of-way with an eighteen-foot pavement. Eightfoot berms will line both sides of the roads.

She is at city hospital in a critical condition. Her attempt at suicide Wednesday was the second within a week. Several days ago she went to an interurban track and attempted to step in front of a car. Wednesday she soaked her clothing with kerosene and walked into the back yard to set herself afire. Her daughter, Miss Grace Pringle, heard her scream and ran toward her. John Pringle, her husband, ran from a garage and reached the burning woman first.

Miniature Golf —No. 6 Watch for Little Rolls in Green When Putting

JT is important that a player take .. a careful look at the roll in the green before he hits his putt. By this I mean that he should go to the edge of the green, or near the edge, and look over the line his putt must follow on its way to the cup and to determine how much allowance he needs for the rise and fall of the green. While many players are careless about this, you seldom see a good performer overlook this item, whether it’s just a friendly match or a tournament round. Frequently, little rolls in the

LINGLE PRORE TANGLED ANEW Cop’s Foster Identification Puzzles Officials. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 31.—A policeman’s positive identification of Frank Foster one of the men actually involved in the Alfred J. Lingle murder complicated today the puzzle which several investigating bodies have been trying for seven and a half weeks to solve. Foster, former Bugs Moran gangster, never was suspected of being the actual slayer of the Tribune reporter until policeman Anthony Ruthy dramatically pointed him out as the man who ran from a subway just after Lingle was killed there. Officials previously had proceeded on the theory that Foster was not the slayer, but that he once owned the gun with which Lingle was shot and that he might, if willing to dare gangland vengeance, give information which would lead to arrest of the killer. If the investigators accept Ruthy’s identification, all' their work has been in the wrong direction and they must start all over again. The identification was made at Foster’s preliminary hearing on a murder charge, which officials admitted they made merely to guarantee Foster would be held in custody rather than in the expectation of actually convicting him.

green escape the eye unless a side view is taken. These are the little things that differentiate between a 75 and a 72, or a 100 and a 95. The object of this care in lining up the putt is to see an imaginary line from the ball to the cup. If you are In doubtr about the amount of "borrow” to take because of the roll of the green, take a bit more, rather than a bit jess. It will leave you closer to the cup than if you hadn’t taken enough, provided, of course, the putt doesn’t drop on the first stroke. iCoorrißht. 1930, bv NEA Swvice. ine.l

SHANTUNG IS GROUND UNDER ARMIESIEELS Population Is in Want and Business at Standstill; Dodged by Tourists. Editor's Note— Following is one of s series of articles by Miles W. Vauchn. United Press far east manager, on conditions in China. Vanghn Just has coraoleted a two months’ tour which took him from Shanghai as far north as Harbin. BY MILES w 7 VAUGHN United Press Staff Correspondent TSINGTOA, China, July 31. The population of Shantung province, cock-pit of China’s civil wars, again is ground beneath the heels of rival armies. Commerce and transportation are demoralized and many of the people are in want. The trade of Tsingtao is crippled, even summer tourists avoiding the city because of fear it may come within the war zone. Shantung probably has suffered more from war than any other province in China in recent years. One of the richest of Chinese areas, it has been overrun time and again by troops of rival militarists. For years the province was under control of the notorious bandit, Chang Tso-lin, who subjected the population to indescribable suffering. He twice was ejected by Nanking’s armies and the province had a year of peace from the spring of 1929 to the present summer, when it again was invaded from the north by Shansi troops seeking to make their way toward Nanking to oust Chiang Kan-shek as head of the central government. The fact that the railway line fnom Tientsin to Pukow, across the Yangtse river from Nanking, runs through Shantung is responsible for much of the province’s woes. Rival armies fighting their way to and fro follow this railway and destroy the countryside as they go. The northern section of the pro-

It is scarred with trench systems and many of its - village' and towna devastated by artillery fire. Its railway system has been crippled in many places. Tsingtao is one of the most beautiful of Chinese ports and is a modern city built largely by Germany during the days before the World war when she was developing it as a spearhead for her sphere of influence in China. More than $2,000,00,000 of Germany’s money is invested abroad.
