URGES GARDENS MADE AVAILABLE State To Aid Trustees in Reducing Direct Relief Costs Indianapolis, Ind . Reb. 22 —(UP) —A program of individual subsistence gardens and food conservation activities to aid trustees in I reducing direct relief costs was an nounced today by the governor's commission on unemployment relief. The commission distributed bulletins to 1,016 trustees urging that subsistence garden facilities, either at home or in group plots, be made . available for every family on direct relief, in both urban and rural comI munities. j “The exeperience of the past 1 three years has proved the success lof this program in cutting down ' the cost of direct relief to the,townships by making it possible for I relief clients t oraise part of their 1 food budget, and van the surplus i for use during the winter months,” j The commission reported. Township trustees are required to provide space for the gardens, to make provision for ground preparation, prvide supervisin of garden activities, supply labor for mass gardens from relief rolls, provide seed other than that supplied by the commission, and provide housing, utilities and supervision for canning centerThe governor’s commission will prepare garden and earning plans and specifications, provide seed packages, supply a limited amount of bulk garden seeds, supply a limited number of tomato and cabbage plants. Assistance also will be given trustees in setting up canning projects to conserve mass garden and iany other product for winter relief I use by lending available canning equipment. The commission wiil assist in home canning activities by facilitating continued use of glass jars already in homes of relief families, and will supply part of the containers for use in canning centers. A summary of the three-year period during which the garden and food conservation program has Ibeen operated in the state reveals that individual gardens in Indiana increased from 72,330 in 1933 to 127,210 in 1935. The 1933 value of indiv-

NOTE DEC REASE FICOM PAGE ONE) n ed notable improvement during , January. The value of building permits increased sharply from December and building activity was progressing at a high rate for this season of the year. “The steel industry showed a moderate contra-seasonal decline mainly due to a slackening of demand among automobile manufacturers. Production of automobiles declined in January but remained above last year. Manufacturers of automobile parts and accessories also reduced output. Pig iron production was far above the figure : for a year ago. “The agricultural developments during January were mainly concerned with governmental questions. There seemed to be no disturbing changes in outlook due to .these factors partly because a successor to the AAA was assumed to be forthcoming and partly because basic argicultural conditions appeared to be improved. Ilog receipts in Indiana markets increased in January but receipts of other | live stock were lower.

J IB fi® • « ’W ' ■ ■M Ml i > W |H Y ' Marguerite Ddbow Death sentences meted out recently to three murderesses by eastern juries have stirred considerable controversy over whether women should be sent to the electric chair. Reaction has been particularly strong in the case of Dorothy Sherwood, convicted of the “mercy drowning” of her baby son and sent to death row in Sing Sing. Two others now awaiting execution are Mrs. Margaret Dplbow, of Salem, N. J., convicted, together with n er paramour, Norman Driscoll, of murdering her farmer hu J ’c. ! ad, and Mrs. Mary Creighton, who was sentenced to death along with Everett Applegate, both of Mineola, L. 1., for poisoning Mrs. Applegate. The fact that three juries within a peiiod of a couple of weeks sentenced these women to die suggests a rwing in public opinion away from the former general antipathy against capital punishment for women.

O Great Orchestra to Tour Nation Leopold Stokowski ! 1' .f 1 ik ’ i III&. i < ■ JUI ; di * i D ,rec, ‘ n g radio concert Two recent events have combined to concentrate publicity on the name of Leopold Stokowski, internationally famous director of the Philadelphia symphony orchestra. In April Stokowski is to take his orchestra on tour of the United States, a 30-day swing through more, than a score of the major cities of the country. This tour will serve as a climax and conclusion to his position as director of the Philadelphia symphony because he is retiring at the end of his present season to devote the future to musical research. Stokowski was born in London of an Irish mother and Polish father, graduated from Oxford at 21, and obtained a position as church organist when he came to New York as a young man. After conducting the Cincinnati symphony from 1909 to 1912, Stokowski accepted the post of director of the Philadelphia orchestra in 1912 and has built that organization into one of the most renowned symphony orchestras in the world today. He is married and has three children, one by a former wife from whom he was divorced.
