FIREWORKS AT FAIR EXPLODE

Three Tons of Explosives Nearly Cause Panic at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Sept. <*.—(UP) — An unannounced fireworks demonstration, in which three tons of explosive rockets and flares were shot into the air within a few seconds, climaxed attractions at the State Fair, Wednesday, and nearly caused a panic. The crowd ot 44,872 yesterday was a considerable gain over the same day a year ago, but still left several thousand fewer attendants during the first five days of the show than for the same period the previous year. The late afternoon racipg program was cancelled because of the premature explosion on the track in front of an old wooden stand. A portion of the stand caught fire and conffision began to be shown, but order was quickly restored by state police and Kryl’e band, which sensed the danger of panic in the

situation.

Girls chosen as most nearly perfect 4-H club representatives for their height, weight and age, were: Mary M. Glick, Hope; Kathryne Thompson, Bloomfield; Mabel Fitzpatrick, Salem.; Eleanor F. Head, Plymouth; Iris Herrin, Hartford City; Ethel Pell, Carbon; Kathryn Blank, Indianapolis; Fauneii Hershberger, New Richmond; Ida Jane Hicks, Westfield, and Anna Harter, Union Mills. ;—o

nated by the prohibition bureau. | Dengier added he did not think boys had ever been used in that way by prohibition agents as the instruction given was general in scope. Federal dry agents often have been content with the arrest of minor employees found at the scene of a distillery or speakeasy without making an effort to discover those who are backing the enterprise, Dengier told the agents. o ALFALFA IS BOON

Rocky 'Ford,Colo.,—(U. P.)—Alfalfa in the Arkansas valley is proving a boon to the farmers this year, especially with the genera] slump in prices for grains and other products. One of the local alfalfa milling companies has all of its mills in the valley operating to full capacity and is looking foreward to a most succesful season. o Thinks Himself Shot Then Faints

Jury in Mail Fraud DRY AGENTS TO

READ SHERLOCK

U^e of Small Boys Also Part of Sleuthing Course.

Washington, Sept. *.— (UP)—> Suggestions for using small boys in shadowing suspected bootleggers or liquor establishments are included in the course of study outlined for the 34 federal dry agents attending the prohibition school here. Harry M. Dengier, supervisor of the school, also urged the dry agents to read Sherlock Holmes and modern mystery thrillers for the tips they might, furnish on the methods of great detectives. Unremitting attention to details constitutes the mark of the expert investigator, he told the agents, and no clue is too small to overlook. In the lesson on shadowing, Dengier advises agents not to attempt to trail a person who is suspicious unless three shadows are used who will alternate in watching the suspect. This suggestion is part of the ten-lesson correspondence course prepared by Dengier and which he said today will be the basis of the instruction to he given in the school here. Regarding' use of boys, Dengier explained this device has been employed for some time by investigators and was not origi-

Lawrenceville, Ind., Sept. 1.— (U P)—Arthur Harper knows how a man should die and when he felt his end was near he turned to the policeman who supposedly fired at him when he resisted arrest. “Newton, you got me. Goodbye, I don’t hold anything against you,” he said, and collapsed. Chief of police, Fred Newton, didn’t think the matter was so serious, however, for when Harper ran from the car in which he had been recklessly driving, the officer had fired his revolver at the ground instead of toward the fleeing man. Examination of Harper showed he had cut his knee on the concrete curbing when he fell. The warm blood trickling down his leg gave him the idea that he had been shot, it was said. Mervin Baltzell and Noble, Hill, who ‘ were with Harper, were ar rested and the trio was fined and released.

STATE AID FOR DROUGHT RELIEF

Credit Corporations Will be Used to Aid Stricken Farmers.

Money Carried by Man Is Returned Evansville, Ind., Sept. i.—(UP) —Two gold pieces which had not left the pocket of Jack Jones, farmer, for 49 years, and ten $100 bills that had been lying alongside the gold pieces for 20 years, have returned to their owner after a weeks’ absence. Jones claimed the money was “lifted” from him when a couple brought whiskey to his house last week and had a party. Police arrested Clay Bunch, 20, and Bessie Ruby, 25, on a charge of doing the “lifting.” ^ • 1 11 O—■ - Grave of Ancient Race Is Located Attica, Ind., Sept. i.—(UP) — Skeletons of persons believed to have belonged to a race that preceded the Indians were found near here by workmen excavating on the Earl fa#nily homestead. None of the Indian burial customs in placing bodies was in evidence. Several of the bodies had been arranged in a circle around one, and is believed to indicate that a leader and his followers were placed in a common grave after being killed in battle.

Washington, Sept. t\—Out of the White House drought relief conference Thursday came the decision to make state or local credit corporations the basis of the financial machinery bo aid the hardpressed farmers. Similar agencies were employed when President Hoover, as Secretary of Commerce, directed flood relief work in 1927. The credit corporations will act as the intermediary between the farmers on the one hand and the intermediate credit banks on the other. The maximum rate of interest to the farmers for money borrowed is expected to be 6 per cent. Secretary Hyde, chairman of the national drought committee, said after the meeting yesterday the establishment of the credit corpora‘tions was decided upon but other details were yet to be worked out. Subcommittee Named A subcommittee of three bankers, Melvin A. Traylor of Chicago, Nicholas Dosker of Louisville, and Morton Prentis of Baltimore, was named yesterday after the conference to outline recommendations on what the states and government could do to aid tTm drought sections. They will work with Agriculture Department officials and other government agencies. The Agriculture Department, the Federal farm loan board and the Federal reserve board also were asked to report just what they can do toward relief.

Actress Adopts Sea Massages

Monte Carlo, Sept. 1.—(UP) — Mary Garden has adopted sea massages instead of nude bathing as a means of reducing. *Her famed nude baths added materially to the population of nearby shores during the reducing process, the opera star told the United Press. Sea massages are carried out in darkness in convenient spots off shore after Miss Garden and the massager swim to the selected spot. Massages are twice as effective when combined with sea water, she said. Miss Garden also has perfected a scheme to strengthen the throat. She blows through a bottle filled with water and equipped with inlet and outlet tubes.
