FORD IS REPROACHED Jew Attacks Did Great Harm, Says Rabbi Wise Bu United Press BOSTON, Nov. 14.—Though Henry Ford has been forgiven by the Jewish people for his attacks upon them in “The International Jew” and in the “Dearborn Independent,” he has “done inestimable hurt to my people,” Rabbi Stephen S.

Call in the neighbor lady and try the stunt Hazel Rueckhardt of Chicago, Gymnastic Union junior, and her classmate, Lydi Wolff, also of Chicago, supporting Hazel, are performing in the lower photo. Pansy Lanning of Dayton, Ohio, a sophomore, chins the bar and grins about it to demonstrate a little exercise that won’t come amiss some day in mashing potatoes—after she and her athletic chums have handed down their legacy of athletic instruction to the classes they are preparing to instruct.

Girls who chin the bar will pull up to the home dinner table with the best pan of biscuits. That is the statement of Miss Clara Ledig, assistant to the dean of the North American Gymnastic Union in the Athenaeum. “Girl athletes of today will be the real homemakers of tomorrow,” said Miss Ledig. “Most modern girls will tell you if questioned that they prefer athletics to housekeeping. “Quick thinking, self control, regular living habits are the cardinal rules for success in athletics. Although these lessons learned in youth are in preparation for the teaching of gymnastics and physical culture, they are certain to be applied later in the home. r m

ITS HIRING WIFE^SSLAYER Pays SSOO for Deal to Get $20,000 Insurance. Bn United Pres* MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 14. Broken by a week of questioning, Alvin Greenwaldt has confessed that he planned the murder of his wife to obtain her $201,000 insurance, and hired Arthur R. Betzhold to ctyoke her to death, police said today. Betzhold, known also as Kelley, readily admitted, police said, that he did the actual slaying, remarking only that “I didn’t know it was so easy for anybody to die.” The body of Mrs. Greenwaldt was found on a highway. A few hours after the discovery of the body, Greenwaldt staggered into a roadhouse and told of having been attacked as he and his wife drove along the road. He said he had laid unconscious for two hours and exhibited lacerated scalp as evidence that he had been struck. Police, thinking the wound in his head too slight to cause two hours unconsciousness, held him in custody pending an investigation. “I needed money,” Greenwaldt said. ‘‘Knowing Kelley as a ‘hard guy,’ I offered him SSOO to kill my wife. He grabbed at the chance. So last Tuesday night I brought my wife to Milwaukee and on the v/ay back picked up Kelley. A few miles out he just reached over and took her by the throat and held her till she died.”

HOUSE TO ACT ON DAM BILLS Boulder Project Will Get Fuel Attention. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Boulder dam legislation will be considered in the next House of Representatives as important national legislation, Speaker Nicholas Longworth predicted today, Longworth spent part of his vacation in California and he returned to Washington convinced of the necessity for the construction of the dam. In the last Congress Longworth was regarded as indifferent. Another important recruit to the Boulder dam forces will return this week. Majority Leader John Q. Tilson spent part of his vacation also in California, and under the chaperonage of Congressman Phil Swing, looked over the ground and was convinced of its necessity. President Coolidge is expected to adopt a more cordial attitude towards Boulder dam during the coming session. Passage of the legislation in the House is regarded as certain whereas in the last Congress it was not brought to a vote.

COURT FINALLY FOUND FOR BLUE LAW CASE Scottsburg Movie Proprietor Waited Two Months for Judge. Bu Times Special SCOTTSBURG, Ind., Nov. 14. Two months were required to find a court for trial of C. W. Rohn, charged with desecrating the Sabbath by operating a motion picture show here on Sunday. A jury disagreed when Rohn was tried before Justice of the Peace John C. Wilson two months ago. When the case was called for trial again, Rohn obtained a change of venue. The law says on change, a case is to be sent to a justice of the peace in an adjoining township. But no adjoining township had such an official. Scott County commissioners appointed justices for five townships. Four failed to qualify, but Elmer Deal the remaining appointee, has just filed bond and prepared to assume his duties. So Rohn is getting ready for trial. > Wounded Man May Die Bu Times Special NEW ALBANY, Ind., Nov. 14.

FLOOD CONTROL IS PROBLEM OF U. Sm reed says Program Should Go Forward Without Delay, Senator Tells Conference. Bu United Press ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.—Control of the Mississippi and its tributaries is a duty of the Government, regardless of expense and without further delay. Senator Reed of Missouri declared today in an address before the Mississippi Valley Association. The flood control program undoubtedly would include two developments, he asserted, and construction of spillways and outlets for release of waters of the lower Mississippi, and the impounding of waters for irrigation of the North and Northwest. Complete development of the program must be left to engineers, Reed said, adding: New England Needs Aid “The work on the lower Mississippi should begin at once, and in connection with it some form of relief should be given to the sufferers of that vast section. Perhaps it will be found necessary to render aid to the afflicted who have recently suffered by the devastating storms of the East. “The entire scheme of river development will, of course, in the end transform these streams into great arteries of commerce, but again work of development for navigation purposes cannot be delayed until the entire plan has been worked out." Davis Wants No Politics Asserting that flood prevention, power conservation and navigation are inter-related and inter-depen-dent, Reed said the possibilities for transportation on the Mississippi and its tributaries have not been touched. Transportation on the Mississippi, started during the war “under almost every conceivable difficulty,” was said by the senator to have grown 1.044,694 tons in 1926. A plea to "keep the waters of the Mississippi in its banks and out of politics” was made by Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis. "The entire valley,” Davis said, “must push the flood control and inland waterway plan finally worked out by the Congressional committees if there is to be the slightest hope of success.” Levees Called Backbone The Secretary of War recognized flood control “as a national problem.” Levees must be the backbone of any plan for flood protection in the Mississippi valey because more protection for the same amount of money can be obtained by this method than by any other, he said. “But levees alone cannot be depended upon to solve the entire problem under the new conditions which have arisen,” he concluded.

NICK NOT CANDIDATE Harder to Be Speaker of House Than President. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Speaker Nicholas Longworth is not giving up a perfectly good job to chase a White House rainbow. On his return to Washington Saturday for the coming session of Congress he made it clear to his friends that he is not going to announce himself for the presidency nor be a party to any effort to stimulate sentiment for himself. “I am perfectly satisfied where I am at,” he said. “Ohio is a great mother of Presidents: it is second only to Virginia. We have had seven sons in the White House, but it also should not be overlooked that Ohio has had only two speakers of the House. “Mathematically, therefore, It is three and one-half times as hard to be elected Speaker from Ohio as it is to be elected President.”
