TORNADO HITS RUSH COUNTY Packing Plant Suffers Heavy Damage As Tornado Strikes Rushville, Ind., Sept. 2 —(UP) — [ Northern Rush county residents be- ■ gan repair of damaged buildings ; and other ehattend pifiperty today after a tornado which swept through the section yesterday leaving two persons injured seriously and 14 hurt slightly. The tornado, followed by a heavy downpour of rain and an electrical storm of great intensity, centered Its fury on the Mays ipacking company plant, 10 miles north of Rushville. Winds of tornadic force ripped off two sections of the warehouse rof and shattied many wind.- «vs in the building. lena Alcorn, of near Straughn, i an<i Forest Brewer, of Knightstown, were injured seriously and 14 oth- . ers in the tomato peeling room were cu by falling glass. Approximately 200 workers were In the plant. i Charles Emrick, plant manager, , said damage to the building and equipment would trial several thousand dollars. The supply of fruit and vegetables being prepared for canning was ruined, he said. Emick said the 200 employes virtually were panic-stricken when the storm struck but they remained inside the building. After striking at Mays the storm ripped through Spiceland and Dunreith. Mrs. Winifred Huff.

By MAVRICE MERRYFIEI.B International Illustrated News Writer NEW YORK —Recent announcement of several of the major railroad lines that they were following the example of airlines and installing hostesses on their main runs suggests that this practice might well be followed with profit in other fields. Having had the Inestimable pleasure of being inquired after solicitously by a charming young lady while making a plane trip, the advantages of being surrounded, or at least assisted, in one’s daily routine in like manner strikes this writer as a most excellent idea. • Consider how much more pleasant would be a day at the office if one had a buxom blonde or beauteous brunet to provide for one’s needs. On hot days peculiar to harvest time, it would be much more tolerable were one to have at beck and call a charming young lady who would bob up with a glass of water or turn on another fan just when the going was toughest. No More Office Boys! And, instead of having to bellow across the office to a fellow-serf, or painfully and perspiringly search for a match, what a paradise even the traditional sweatshop would be if a trim modem maid would appear with a light for one s pipe or cigaret at the strategic moment! Pleasant, too, would be the privilege of sitting down to a bit of tea and erumpets —or beer and limburger cheese late in the afternoon when lunch is just a memory and dinner still too remote to relieve one’s aching void. Nor is the idea entirely imprae-

fining monopoly on the other, has been terminated by the growers.” The President expressed hope that ’’the next session of congress will consider repealing or shortening the clause which continues the refining monopoly to March 1, 1940, but even if congress does not act, the end of the monopoly is definitely in sight and I sincerely trust that nothing will be done by the domestic growers of beet and cane to perpetuate it.” His action on the sugar issue had been awaited eagerly in administration circles. If he had vetoed the bill —as many observers believed he would do—that would have been taken as an indication that he intended calling a special fall session of congress. In approving the housing bill, Mr. Roosevelt enabled the government to start a major attack on the slum clearance problem. Under its provisions, cities may bor-[ row funds supplied by a $500,000.000 federal bond Issue and receive I outright grants from a $25,000,000 appropriation to construct modern.' sanitary homes for low-income families on the sites of present slum tenements. The bonds may be issued during j the next three years. The $25.- i 000,000 subsidy appropriation, with] another $1,000,000 for administra-j tive expenses, was voted by con- , gress for the bill’s first year off operation. , , ' The bill creates the U. S. holts- ! Ing authority under —ecretatry of Interior Harold L. Ickes, who made ’ the first attack on the slum clearance problem through construe-' tibn of demonstration projects with public works administration funds . — O —; Binder Used 41 Years Dunkerton, la.-(U.R) —D.

tical With all due respect to the place that office boys have had in our economic world, their*places might be filled just as efficiently, and certainly more decoratively, by comely hostesses. Os course, it would be impossible for our captains of industry to then write in their biographies that they worked their way up from office boy, but they could think of some other place -from-which-one-works-one’s-way-up! And anyway, if all the millionaires who claim to have once been office boys are speaking the truth, there must have been more office boys than generals in the Mexican army a while back. Beauties for Bonuses! In fact, considering this hostess idea from another angle, it might even be possible to adapt the scheme so as really to speed up production. The laggards in the organization might be deprived of hostess service if their work fell behind, and those who earned special merits might be allowed to take the hostess to lunch—with the company paying the check, of course! Yes sir, they could be on hand to give one the correct time, keep saying “yes" while the wife conducted a monolog over the telephone, entertain visiting firemen so one could get some work done, be able to buy a shirt when an emergency prevented one from going home to change before dining downtown, and fill a legion of other needs. , Yep, it seems like a noble idea, especially for this organization providing I have the right to choose the hostess!
