He poked his head out his stateroom door, commented that “this is a fine reception" and then refused to make any statement until a little later. After a few moment's wait, reporters again knocked on the stateroom door. When Black appeared. W. H. Mylander, Washington cor respondent for the Pittsburgh PostGazette which printed the series of articles exposing Blacks purported klan membership, offered i the justice a file of newspapers containing the articles. ‘‘Would you like to have copies of the Post Gazette's series?" Mylander asked. Black turned his back, rejoining ! sharply: “No, take them back to Mr. Block (Paul Block, publisher of , the Post-Gazette)". Black's fellow passengers aboard i the City of Norfolk said that he | mingled little with his shipboard | companions.

Catalin Is Newest Plastic A third development in the plastic field came during the World war when European chemists. trying to create synthetic rubber, discovered catalin, a substance made from twp poisons, pheno! and formaldehyde. This new plastic has the advantage of being produceable in any color and is molded into its finished form from the liquid state at a pressure of 25,000 pounds to the square inch.

Ross’ attorney who, was waiting with Mrs. Ross for word from the abductors. A rough voice asked for Mrs. Ross. Before Mrs. Ross could reach the [ telephone—and before police wire-, tappers could trace the call—the ; caller hung up. Investigators believed it may have been an attempt to demand a ransom for return of the aged, wealthy valentine manufacturer who was abducted from his secretary's side Saturday night. It was the kidnapers' first acknowledged attempt, if such it was. to establish contact with Mrs. Ross. Failure ot bellboy Cecil Vandiver to find in rogues' galleries pic- . tures of any men closely resembling the stranger he saw talking to Ross in a Sycamore, 111., hotel a I few hours before the abduction, i and failure of Ross’ seertary, Miss I Florence Freihage. to recall any details which she may have omitt-

' advanced even further than the j United States along the lines of i industrial chemistry. Synthetic ! rubber and various metal alloys have been discovered which greatly reduce the Nazi state's dependency on foreign sources of raw material. Each day in new ways chemists throughout the world are helping to create new industries and exploit the more abundant natural resources, working toward the time when man may be clothed entirely in wood, live in houses built and furnished with catalin and new alloys, and subsist On concentrated foods derived from sources which would causq the neighborhood grocer to ; ; scoff today' -

DEMOLISHING FOUR members stated, is to petition the I city council to participate in the ’ bond issue. The Indiana laW per- > mits civil cities to issue general j revenue bonds up to $50,000 lit aiding school cities to build new I schools. The school board's appli- ' cation was filed on the assumption I that the civil city would contribute | toward the school. The $110,045 , grant was based on a total estimated cost of $244,545. the school i board raising between SBO,OOO and $90,000 and the civil city, not to i exceed $50,000. The petition will be presented as soon as the papers are prepared and if the council is willing, the bond ordinance can be passed at the regular meeting next week. The letter from F. M. Logan, state administrator for the PWA stated that the government's offer had to be accepted within 15 days ; from date. The offer was dated September 28, 1937. Complying with this ultimatum the offer would nave to be accepted by October 13. School board members stated that a new school could not be built, in view of the bonding j limits of the school city, unless the civil city participated. When the present high school building was built the civil city issued $15,000 In bonds toward the construction of the building. These bonds were paid several years ; ago. The revenue for paying interest and liquidating the bonds would be raised by a tax levy. The bonds I could be liquidated over a period i from 10 to 20 years, or longer, if the council desired. The government's offer also contained the conditions that work on ' the new building should start within three months from date of the i offer and that it should be completed within nine months after ' construction work began. The government's grant is based ' | on 45 per cent of the total con- i • struction cost of the project. The • $ "0,045 is the maximum amount the PWA pledges to donate, which is 45 per cent of the total con- ■- struction estimate. Figured on the school city's I I bond limit only. $90,000. the gov-| 1 ernment would contribute only ' $73,036. making the total project I ’ cost $'63,636. Decatur would lose 1 $26,409 of government funds and the proposed building would have to be reduced to a $'63,636 struc- : ture.

At the end of the car is a flashing sign about the great industry de- , 1 veloped to handle tlte annual crop 1 of soybeans. Under this are pictured manufacturing plants in the United States with an annual capacity of 55 million bushels devoted to the processing of the crop. Many uses of the crop will be shown in the car, which itself will | be the greatest advertisement cf soybeans in that few parts are not composed of or manufactured through the use of the beans.
