U. S. ANNOUNCES AUGUST BANNER MONTHFOR AUTOS Factory Pay Rolls Higher, Says Federal Reserve Board’s Summary. Bu United Preaa WASHINGTON, Sept. 28—While business generally continued to prosper during August, production in some basic industries declined, the Federal Reserve Board's monthly business summary, published today, revealed. Textile mill industry and production of steel ingots, zinc and petroleum increased, while the output of pig iron, lumber, coal, copper, cement and sugar was smaller than the month before. Boom in Auto Automobile production, however, increased considerably in August, and was larger than any month since April. Factory pay rolls, after declining in July, increased in August. Middle Western States during the month increased building activities, but in eastern and southeastern States the volume of building was smaller than a year ago. Contracts for constructing residential structures were smaller than in August, 1925, while work for industrial buildings increased. Prices Decline Wholesale commodity prices declined more than one per cent during August, reflecting largely price decreases for grains, livestock and meat products. Prices of clothing materials, fuel and metals increased while cotton, wool, sugar, building material and rubber prices showed little change in the month. Meantime the volume of wholesale trade and of sales at department stores increased as compared with the same period a year ago. Stock of dry goods and shoes carried by wholesale firms were smaller at the end of August than last year while those of groceries and hardware were larger. Department stores, the board stated, showed increased inventories in preparation for autumn trade, but stocks in general were smajler than a year ago.

Pettis Dry Goods Cos. —Est. 1853—The New York Store October is a month of a great buying event. An event THAT HAS BECOME A TRADITION IN THIS COMMUNITY. The low prices which distinguish this annual sale does not in any way indicate that the Pettis high standard of quality has been lowered. On the contrary, the savings of careful planning and buying, the use of great and far-reaching resources, and of a volume of business which makes it possible to mark certain articles below their usual prices. Although the tendencies of the times appear to be toward merchandise, the Pettis store has not deviated from its policy of selling only reliable merchandise of a quality beyond reproach. We believe that our prices are lower than elsewhere, comparing quality with quality and style with style. But they are never so low that the article sold will be unsatisfactory to the purchaser and will defeat its own usefulness by its cheapness. SINCE 1853No Sale Like This JgS> Starts Friday, Oct .

DEMOCRAT CHIEF ASKS WATSON TO GET MONEY FACTS Appeals to G. 0. P. Senator for Truth About Indiana Finances. Senator James E. Watson was appealed to in a statement issued here today by R. Earl Peters, Democratic State chairman, to see to it, because of his control of the Republican State machine, that the truth concerning Indiana State finances Is laid before the people. He asked especially that the people bp told what balance there will be in the State treasury next Thursday, Sept. 30, the end of the State's business year, and also how much the new tax rate and the special taxes which will be coleeted during the next fiscal year will yield. Has Sought Truth Peters recited the fact that for more than two months the Demociatic State committee has urged Governor Jackson, State Chairman Clyde A. Walb, and finally Senator Arthur R. Robinson to lay the whole truth about State taxes before the taxpayers of the State. The statement in part was as follows: “Following the boast of Governor Jackson that on July 1 there was a balance in the State treasury of approximately $16,000,000, we urged the Governor to say what the balance was on July 30. He has utterly failed to do so. Huge Disbursement “On the first day of September the State auditor, Lewis S. Bowman, gave out a statement in which It was shown that within a period of sixty days preceding that date, over $7,000,000 was disbursed by the Jackson administration. That is nearly afe much spent in two months as was spent by Democrats in an entire year under the late Governor Samuel M. Ralston, Chairman Walb has romised to tell voters the truth about Indiana finances, but it has not been given out. “We now call upon Senator James E. Watson, who has complete control of the Republican machinery In

Jersey Justice Gets Its Man Bu United Preu ASBURY PARK, N. J.. Sept. 28. —Jersey has a law which forbids anyone to litter paper or other trash in public places. This law is Police Chief Harry Beatty's hobby. He enforces it to the limit. Recently he met bis nemesis temporarily. An aviator scattered advertising circulars from his plane. Beatty pursued him in an auto. But it was like chasing a butterfly. The aviator would land and the chief would dash up in his auto only to see the piano fly away. Such was not to be endured. The chief is ready now. He has found a citizen who cwns a plane. If that aviator appears again Beatty will go up in the air after him. Chief Beatty always gets his man.

ANTI-LOAN SHARK BILL IS FAVORED BY FRANK BORNS

Candidate Promises to Work for Measure If He Is Elected. Introduction of a bill in the next Legislature to prohibit "loan sharks” from operating in Indiana was promised today by Frank Borns, 451 N. State Ave., Republican nominee for State Representative from - 'Marion County, if he is elected. Borns points out that under the present law interest of 3.5 per cent a month, or 42 per cent a year, can be charged on loans of S3OO or less in Indiana. The lender can take a mortgage upon the borrower's property as security, Borns said. And when" the loan companies bring about court proceedings they saddle further expense upon unfortunate citizens. Borns cited the success of one company which charges only 8 per cent a year on small loans as proving that loan companies need not charge the high rate to do business on small loans. Borns suggested amendment of the present loan law to set the maximum legal rate of interest at 2 per cent a month. Court records prove, he said, that many companies after making S6O loans to wage earners have sought to obtain a judgment for $125, the SBS being the interest charged at their exorbitant rate. Capitalists from outside Indianapolis are operating most of the loan shark companies here, he declared. He asked any persons who have had dealings with loan sharks to furnish him with Information to aid in his plan to push- through legislation curbing their activities. Prosecutor William H. Remy has been conducting an investigation of loan sharks, who he charges have been “buying wages” at exhorbltant rates. WOMEN BLOWN TO PIECES Bu United Preaa HONFLEITR, France. Sept. 28.
