The Chicago Tribune carried a front page article on the soy bean industry, referring to it as one of f the leading industries in that city.!

I : r One of the new laws passed by the Indiana legislature, that gives t promise of having far-reaching benefit to the people of Indiana, and particularly to those in the rural sections, is that providing t for a reorganised state police system. A bi-patisan police board of , four members is to be appointed by L the governor, who also appointsl ’ the superintendent. The superin- ’ Undent is to establish ranks and i fix standards in conformity with * the most approved plans and stan- ' dards adopted in other states and fiv the requirements for training, education and experience.

The congressional committee has agreed on eliminating the silver inflation rider, objectionable to the president and other provisions over which the senate and house were at odds. The labor wage clause has been changed to the liking of the president and the house l is expected to act favorably on the lull today or Saturday. The bill provides for the expenditure of four billion dollars for putyic works and eight hundred millions to be ' used for relief. The federal machinery is already being set up to disperse the funds so that constructiou work can start throughout the country. The pouring of the huge l amount into the channels of trade | ! will have its effect, although opin- | I ions differ as to the permanent j benefits of the government's spendling. < WAR'S AWFUL COST. A warning was served by Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the World i War Industries Board, that civilization would be back in "another middle ages’’ if there were to be (the aftermath of an orgy of destruc- | tiou aud slaughter, such as anoth■er world war would entail. The nations that would be involved are ( practically bankrupt now. They j could not pay another war bill, aud I would not try. The result would ■ be financial and economic chaos. It is interesting to consider what might be conditions today it there I had beeu no clash in 1914. The illations of the earth were prosperI ing. There was progress in all ( ' quarters which was unceremoniously interrupted to give way to four J ! years of slaughter and destruction I How far along plight we not be | | today if none of the 8,538,315 who * lost their lives aud of the 21,219,1 452 who were maimed had never I seen a world war? Consider what would be the situation if there had been no destruci tiou of uuestiiualed billions of property, profits and industrial assets.

If ail that was wiped cut in war

were ciistent and nouo of the t debts iwd been incurred ours would “ be an entirely different world than ® it is. Nobody cab guess how much of our loss and suffering in the dopi essiou is due to the U orkl War. We do know that the war produced no permanent benefits. * but untold loss and suffering. And still there are those who would not ( be above precipitating another de- t bucle in the hope of advancing * their own ideas or puuy ambitions, j —lndianapolis Star. o ■ — ♦ ; ♦ I Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE «■ ♦ Q.

By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright. 1935, King fcaturct Byndicatt, Inc. H<UXYW4K>D— May Robson's pals •re cUunovtng to l>e in on the most unusual film project Hollywood has heard of In months. The veteran oettess plans to stage and to photo-

graph an exact replica of the first play she waa ever in. It was a chest heaving melodrama ca 1 led "The Hoop of Gold". The first performance was on Sept. 1», 18SS. and May. then 17 years old, played a cockney slavey of 60.

May Robson

Much of the 1 dialogue is still recalled by the star, I especially the climactic passage: “What in God's name keeps you married to this vile villain?" Whereupon the heroine pointed to j her wedding ring and cried: “This hoop of gold!” The star plans to revive the ancient ptay for one performance after she | finishes "Anus Karenina" at M. G. M. I Out front. Hollywood cameramen aud soundmen will put It all on celluloid, •nd the completed film will become the star's most unusual souvenir. • Kay Francis is looking at steam•hip folders and, despite all those denials, the gossips of the cinema exclaim over the coincidence that Maurice Chevalier has just headed for Europe. The two stars were tete-a-teting in at least one Hollywood night sj>ot recently, and each has told the world, in interviews, that the other is one of the 10 most attractive persons of the opposite sex. Did you hear that the Marx brothers are carrying a bridge champion on their personal appearance tour? It’s true. His name is Lee I.angdon and he once teamed with Jacoby, to defeat the Culbertsons. Bridge is the one subject that the Marxes ore serious about, especially Chico, who is a crack player. The Idea is for I.angdon and Chico to stage a series of bridge tournaments in the towns where they play. Chico has never forgiven Culbertson for refusing to meet him when the bridge ace was in Hollywood making pictures. A cable from Ida Lupine’s dad tn London bring news that Ida will

However, the agreements do ■ provide that in case holders of , the agreements sign contracts tor ■ the purchase of the houses the money paid on the agreements will be applied to the purchase price of ■ the house. The cisterns are also being built . ! by FERA labor. It is expected that • ■ this part of the work will be com- ■ pieted about, the same time as the • j sewers. However, it is probable • that homesteaders may move into 11 the lurnses before the cisterns are i completed, if necessary.
