SEVERE RAINS HALT WARFARE Water And High Winds Intensify Suffering Os Chinese Shanghai, Oct. 7—(UP)—Torrential rains flooded trenches and roads and made morasses of fields in the Shanghai area today. Many parts of the international settleI ment were flooded. Water and high winds combined to intensify the suffering of thousands of Chinese regugees, sleeping for weeks in doorways and alleys. So severe were the rains thatl they stopped the war on the Shang-1 hai front. Japanese airplanes were grounded. and thus there ended for the moment a gigantic air raid program cn which the Japanese had embarked coincidentally with President Roosevelt's peace speech and the state department’s approval of League of Nations action in the 1 Chinese Japanese war. More than 100 airplanes, a Japanese spokesman disclosed, bombed mercilessly all day yesterday over a wide area of north, central and southern China — towns and railroads, including the Pieping-Han-kow and Tientsin-Pukow lines in i the north and the vital southern road between Canton and Hankow, the national supply line for munitions. Canton’s suburbs were bombed | again today, and it was established f that communication on the Canton- j Hankow line had been interrupted temporarily. One stalled train contained 250 officers and men of the British cruiser Capetown, on their way U. Canton From Hankow. Chinese leadens here and at Nanking were jubilant today at the | 'news that the state department had | expressed its approval of League of Nations procedure in the ChineseJapanese Crisis. Officials, financiers and business men discussed the statement excit- ! edly and a high Chinese official commented: “It is a ray of hope for China | through the darkness. All China knows now of America’s positive moral support at this critical -moment and is heartened. It gives us an idea of what we may expect. We 1 A, not expect America to fight !

Oct. 7. —(U.R)—Widespread "rundown” conditions, lack J of sanitary facilities and the necessity for slum clearance were revealed in a three-year real prop- ■ erty survey of 3S - Indiana cities j and towns, John K. Jennings, state WPA administrator, said today Information gathered in the sur- ' vey, conducted in a house-to-house [ canvas by WPA workers, will be used by the state housing board and other local housing commissions in improving housing facilities throughout the state. The primary objective of the housing boards is to provide houses that rent for sls a month or less, Jennings saW. Information in the survey includes the age and sanitary facilities of homes, to what extent families are crowded in living quarters and the percentage of persons in substandard living conditions. The survey was made in the following cities: Indianapolis, Whiting, Fort Wayne, Hammond, East Chicago, Hobart, New Albany. Evansville, Terre Haute, Michigan City, Lafayette, Plymouth, Elkhart, Anderson. Richmond, Marion, Muncie. Mishawaka. Kokomo, Gary. South Bend. Jeffersonville, Clarksville. | Claysburg.

He asserted that while the strikes are not autb'irized they will receive the the support of the union. Because of failure of efforts to obtain a blanket collective bargaining agreement, the union will attempt to obtain labor agreements with each oxmpany individually, Dobbs said. He advised that thus far all companies have refused to negotiate. Approximately 500 men are enrolled in the Union which has been pledged the support of 3,000 members of the teamsters and chaufI feurs local, according to Dobbs. j i K I big DAYSj [SALEr USHN TO nrT 13-14-15-16 B.

NEW RATES FOR ] REFINED NATURAL GAS * The rate schedules for refined natural gas, which will mean a saving of $9,740.118 annually to our Decatur customers, have been approved by the Public Service Con-1 mission at Indianapolis. I Here Are The Schedules, Presented for Y our Information: | RESIDENTIAL I 23c per 100 cubic feet for the first 800 cubic feet per month ■ 12c per 100 cubic feet for the next 1.200 cubic feet per month E 8c per 100 cubic feet for the next 1.000 cubic feet per month S 6.5 c per 100 cubic feet for all over 3,000 cubic feet per month ■ Minimum—sl.oo per month S COMMERCIAL | GENERAL SERVICE ■ 23c per 100 cubic feet for the first 800 cubic feet per month ■ 20c per 100 cubic feet for the next 1.200 cubic feet per month ■ 15c per 100 cubic feet for the next 8.000 cubic feet per month ■ 10c per 100 cubic feet for the next 40,000 cubic feet per month I 8c per 100 cubic feet for the next 50,000 cubic feet per month | 7.5 c per 100 cubic feet for all over 100.000 cubic feet per month ■ COMMERCIAL I SPACE HEATING ! 23c per 100 cubic feet for the first 800 cubic feet per month I 20c per 100 cubic feet for the next 1,200 cubic feet per month I 15c per 100 cubic feet for the next 6.000 cubic feet per month ! 8c per 100 cubic feet for the next 7,000 cubic feet per month I 7c per 100 cubic feet for all over 15,000 cubic feet per month I Minimum—sl.oo per month 3 INDUSTRIAL | GENERAL SERVICE (Same as Commercial—General Service) I INDUSTRIAL LARGE - OPTIONAL $150.00 for the first 200,000 cubic feet per month 7.5 c per 100 cubic feet for the next 800,000 cubic feet per month 6.5 c per 100 cubic feet for the next 2,000,000 cubic feet per month 6.0 c per 100 cubic feet lor the next 3,000,000 cubic feet per month 5.0 c per 100 cubic feet for all over 6,000,000 cubic feet per month Minimum—slso.oo per month » To perform any given heating operation, only slightly more than half the volume of natural gas is required, as compared with the present gas. This is because the refined natural gas which is being brought to Decatur from the Texas Panhandle fields has a greater heat content than the manu factored gas now used. Each cubic foot o| the present gas contains 570 British thermal units (a thermal unit is a measurement of heat just as a pound is a measure of weight). The new gas contains 1,000 British thermal units per cubic foot. If you have any questions regarding the new rates and their application to Y’Ol ■ please call Mr. Stapleton at the Gas Company Office.

I the decade front 1910 to 1920. "Result* of a recent survey reI veal that less than half of the hind 1 area of 52 Indiana counties Is suit- ! able Mr production of cultivated crops under present farming practices,” Bennet said. "This means that if farmers continue to plan open-tilled crops on steep hillsides, run their crop rows straight up and down the slope, leave fields unprotected by vegej tation for long periods of time, and continue to use countless other tiej structive practices, this enormous 1 aggregate area is going to suffer | serious erosion damage.” I Bennet urged adoption of soil | conservation measures as a safei guard against land destruction, ■ dust storms, and excessive floods. o —— Teens And Twenties Club Meets Tuesday The Teens and Twenties club of Adams county will meet Tuesday.
