CROPS DELAYED BUT NOT INJURED State Entomologist Says Chances For Good Crops Are Still Promising Indianapolis, Ind., April 22.—(United Press) —Crops In Indiana have been delayed but not materially injured as a result of the late spring, Frank Wallace, state entomologist, said today. The chances for a good crop of 1 wheat, oats, corn and fruit are just ,i as promising as if spring had arrived I on schedule, he said. ,1 Throughout the state, crops are a , week or two weeks behind the calen- , dar's normal schedule, Wallace said. I Most vegetation, however, has reach,l ed the point where a warm spell will ,1 help it make up for some of the time , already lost. The fact that Indiana had an early , sprfing last year has made the pres- ; ent backward season seem even more . than it has actually been, according to Wallace. While nearly three weeks to a month behind those of last year, the crops this season are only a few days bes hind normal in most eases, he said.

The wheat is coming along In ex cellent shape and has not been hurt by late cold. The eftrn Is not yot dnj tlie ground while oats are Just being, planted. The fruit crop, ft Is said. Is very likely to profit by the late spring, inasmuch as the chill weather Is keeping the crop buck and officials believe that once the weather turns warm there will be less possibility of a late freeze like the one which did serious damage to the fruit crop last year. Crops in northern Indiana, are, as usual, a week or so behind those In the southern part of the state but the outlook is equally good in both sections. Peaches in the extreme southern part of the state are breaking into blossom while those in the north are nearly ready to bud. Wallace said the late season is no cause for the farmer to worry, and that in some ways it will be benefi- . cial in the long run. The late spring, he said, is holding the over-ambitious farmer in check and keeping him from the temptation to gamble on too early a planting. It is probable that there will be , necessity for far less second planting of crops this spring than last, aceord- ! lug to Wallace. 0 i ■ BLOOMINGTON—Tired of issuing I repeated warnings, police have threatI ened a thorough cleanup of several danoe halls where intoxicated jt rson sare said to have been permitted to dance.

Mrs. Coolidge Is Rearranging White House Furniture By John Montgomery (United PrcHß Htuff Correspondent) Washington, April 22. — (United I Press)— Slowly, and with care and deI liberation, Mrs. Coolidge is rearranging the White House interior to conform with the aesthetic standards of modern palatial residences. Tlie conglomeration of furniture, acI cumulated through numerous regimes anil marked with the individuality of many purchasers, has long been a i source of concern to White House rosiI dents. Last year, a group of interior decorators characterized the arrange- • ment of the White House as •'hideous” and recommended the scrapping of half of the furniture. Shortly afterward, congress passed a resolution, probably instigated at the White House, allowing the president to accept furniture for the executive manj sion. Although l\lrs. Coolidge has not ’ yet taken advantage of this privilege she l.s expected to as soon as a definite plan can be laid down for refurnishing , the house. Every day in the meanwhile some change is made in the arrangement ol furniture and ever so often, incongru ous with the ensemble disappears intr ; the White House basement. Rumors that Mrs. Coolidge will is i sue a call for period furniture to fur - nish the White House have been de 1 nied. Mm. Coolidge has no desire tc completely renovate the executive

mansion, it was Mid; she merely 1 wishes to re-arrange the interior so as to make it more pleasing to the eye. There is too much furniture in the rooms now, it was explained How-
