DOLLARS FLUNG RECKLESSLY IN MID-WEST DRIVE G. 0. P. Emulates Rivals in Expenditures, Trying to Break South. MONEY WAR IN EAST Campaign Costs Are Heavy in New York and Massachusetts. BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.—1f the national campaign managers a>-e putting their money where they believe it will carry States for them, out of the approximately $1,400,000 expenditures so far accounted for by both parties, these conclusions may be reached: The Democrats will make a truly tremendous effort to carry the "farm bloc” States of the Midwest as shown by a total of $246,000 already sent into those States. The Republicans really believe the solid South can be broken, and the Democrats are afraid they are right, as shown by large expenditures there by both parties. Both are spending freely in the border States also. Second only to the Democratic effort in the Midwest will be their drive to carry New York and Massachusetts. In New York the Republicans are more than matching them, dollar for dollar. Big Sums to Midwest Os the $246,000 sent into the Midwest by the Democrats, $200,000 will be spent by George N. Peek, farm leader who bolted Hoover for Smith. The House Campaign Investigation Committee has asked him to send an accounting of his expenditures.

The Democrats have sent $112,434 litio the doubtful border States, including $36,500 to Senator Harry B. Hawes at St. Louis. They sent $35,000 into Kentucky, $28,000 into Oklahoma and $12,934 into Tennessee. Into the solid South they have sent $39,200; Alabama, Virginia and Texas, each SIO,OOO, and Florida, $5,000.

TIN CAN ERA BAD FOR U. S., SAYS NEGRO, 110 Hopes Country Will Return to Simple Life. By United Press DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 13.—Warren R. Russell, Negro, who celebrated his 110th birthday here, hopes the present generation will emerge from the “age of tin cans and paper bags and go back to tilling the soil.” Russell, who spent the first fortyseven years of his life as a slave, believes proper food is the most essential thing for longevity. He is opposed to prohibition, and refuses to believe that smoking is injurious. “I was a drinking man until Uncle Sam stopped me,” he said. The aged, but active Negro never knew his father. His mother was sold on the auction block in New Orleans when he was an infant for $3,000 and taken to Camden, Ark. Russell remained the slave of an Arkansas farmer until the close of the Civil War. LIME PREVENTS RUST Use in Salty Water to Protect Iron Structures Proposed By Science Service SWAMPSCOTT, Mass.. Oct. 13. Lime in salty water will prevent corrosion of iron or steel structures exposed to it, investigators for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found. They told of their work at the meeting of the American Chemical Society here. Where there are bicarbonates, or salts containing the metal calcium, in the water, the lime causes a layer of protective scales of calcium carbonate on the iron. Where there is magnesium in the water, soda ash must also be added. Formation of the protective scale is hastened if the water is made somewhat alkaline. ,■

Dance Into Stardom

Jl | JzU

Twinkling toes were not intended to rest demurely beneath' a school desk; a pretty face never shows to best advantage behind a textbook, and shapely—ah, limbs shouldn’t be eclipsed by the ultramodest uniform of an exclusive boarding school. At least, that was the hunch that led 16-year-old Lucille Page of Berkeley, Cal., to dance out of her classroom into a star’s dressing room of a musical show. And, figure-atively speaking, it was a good idea.

Blind ’Legger Police Break Up Business; Drinks Delivered by Automatic Device.

WILLIAM BROSIUS, blind bootlegger, conferred with his attorney Friday regarding the rescue of his pal from the toils of police and about his own immediate future. For Sergeant John Eisenhut and his squad had -swooped down on Brosius’ modest home at 1J.54 W. Twenty-Seventh St., and ruined the blind man's business. They left the place with ten gallons of alcohol and whisky and took Lloyd Masters, 35, of 430 Irving PI., along with them. Having no warrant for the raid, they left Brosius behind. Masters was arrested outside the house, the police allege. When they entered the place their search proved fruitless until Eisenhut stumbled across a loose board in a rear room floor. Beneath was a chain and a kind of block and tackle system of booze delivery, the officers declare. By pulling the chain a box came to the hole in the floor and when its contents were lifted it automatically slid back by a system of weights. Brosius was in on mood to discuss the method of operation today. He fears an affadavit may be issued for his own arrest and he is anxious to get Masters released on bond/ He has made his own way in the darkness since the affliction descended on his fourteen years ago. Before that time he had been running a train, he said. His system of delivery was easily operated by touch, the house is familar to him and he has no trouble getting about, he said. SUGAR FOR COURAGE Proportion in Blood Determines Cowardice.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS HANDLE MEN EASILY Trained for Centuries to Do What Gentle Sex Told Them NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—It’s easy for women in business to handle men, says Miss Carmen D. Beehler, who in her career as employment manager for large corporations, has dealt * with every type from “smooth” collegian to the touch tramp sailor. Miss Beehler is called upon frequently to hire large groups of husky workmen of the type found around freight docks. “There have been few occasions when I have not been able to keep a large body of men—a herd, I call them sometimes—from becoming unruly,” she told the United Press in an interview. Miss Beehler is employed by Spencer-Kellogg, Inc., of New Jersey. "One reason—and I’m quite frank in admitting it—is because I am a woman. Men have been trained for centuries to do what women tell them and for this reason my troubles with them have been trivial. FERRY ACROSS GULF Loaded Freight Cart to Be Transported to Chicago.

THE INDIAN A POIJS TIMES

ZEP’S VOYAGE EPOCHAL SAYS PURDUEEXPERT Heralds Regular Service by Dirigibles Over Ocean, Asserts Dr. Moore. Dr. R. A. Moore, dean of the school of sciences, .Purdue University, for years has been closely identified with the development of airships In America and was the first to develop the helium plants for the Government where this gas could be produced In sufficient quantities to supply aircraft. He Is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on ?ases and their uses, especially In avialon. He visited the Graf last July in Germany and, with officers of its crewspent considerable time studying newest developments in airship construction. BY DR. rTaT MOORE (Copyright. 1928, by United Press) LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 13.—The voyage of the Graf Zeppelin represents a landmark in the progress of aviation because it is the first transAtlantic flight that is in any way commercial. Airships are very much better adapted to long flights over water than are airplanes and this is illustrated by the fact that the Count Zeppelin did not wait for fair weather, but started with the knowledge beforehand that there were serious storms over the Atlantic. Explosive Gas Weakness The airplane is more adapted to short flights over land and in this field the airship cannot compete. The Count Zeppelin is of minimum size for regular trans-Atlantic flights and better results will be obtained when larger ships are available, with higher speed and longer pperating range. The new ships built by the British and those just authorized by Congress for the United States should be ideal for the establishment of a regular trans-Atlantic service although our own' ships, since they belong to the Navy, can only be used for experimental purposes. There Is one weakness in the Count Zeppelin, and that is the fact that the ship is filled with hydrogen, and. therefore, the fire hazard still remains. American airships are filled with non-inflammable helium, and have a greatly increased safety factor. In my judgment, airships still can be greatly improved, but the only way to improve them is to build them, and the construction and the voyage of the Count Zeppelin will help materially In the progress of aviation. Regular Service Soon The time is not far distant when there will be regular airship sendee between the United States and other parts of the world. Airships carrying from 100 to 150 passengers, with thoroughly adequate accommodations. will be leaving our eastern seaports for furope and South America. This country is especially fortunate in having large supplies of noninflammable helium gas so that passengers traveling by American owned ships will not be subjected to the fire risk which is at the present time the principal criticism which can be made of the modern airship. CHARLESTON LANCERS NEW LONDON DANCE Couples Must Break Away, But Quick Death of Step Is Seen. By United Press . LONDON, Oct. 13.—The Charleston Lancers Is anew dance which will be introduced in London ballrooms this fall. The chief point about it is that it causes couples to break apart for the first time in the history of post-war dancing. Dancing circles, however, are inclined to the opinion that it will die a quick death like other new dances which have been tried out th*s summer. They say that dancing has developed along the lines of close and constant partnership for so many years now, that the “new-old” Lancers’ break will not catch on.

COOLIDGE CHATS BY PHONE WITH KING OFSPAIN Exchange Greetings to Open New Trans-Atlantic Service. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD linitrd Pre Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—A conversation between President Coolidge and His Majesty the King of Spain opened the United StatesSpanish telephone line today. Linked by radio and telephone with King Alfonso at Madrid, the President lifted the receiver from a telephone in the United States Chamber of Commerce building here shortly after 10 a. m. and said: "Gives Me Great Pleasure” “Your Majesty, it gives me great pleasure to greet you In the name of the people of the United States.’’ The Spanish monarch’s greeting to the President fallows: “I heartily reciprocate in my own name and in that of Spain the greetings of your excellency. “Mr. President, I thank you for the cordial words in which you do Spain the honor and justice to recognize her outstanding services to the Americas, and I agree that we ought to expfect from this new means of communication ever closer relations because of the intimate and more perfect understanding between the two peoples. “I reiterate to your excellency with my salutations the testimony of my most sincere appreciation and extend best wishes for the peace and prosperity of the United States.” / Link for Peace President Coolidge continued: “I welcome this added link, no less strong because it is invisible, between Spain and the United States. I believe it to be true that when two men can talk together the danger of any serious disagreement is immeasurably lessened and that what is true of individuals is true of nations. The international telephone, therefore, which carries the warmth and friendliness of the human voice, will always correct what might be misinterpreted in the written word.” It was Mr. Coolidge’s first conversation across the Atlantic Ocean.

It has become necessary to call upon owners of homes of the city to take care of the housing problem, Davis said.

BUS SEAT SPLINTERS a RIP HOSE; IRK GIRLS Buy Spares Pending Action by London Company. By SEA Service LONDON, Oct. 13.—Street cars with splintered seats that jab one’s legs are bad enough, but when the splinters and nail-heads are so bad that they tear expensive silk hose, it’s time to do something about it. British girls have registered a blast of protest to omnibus and motor coach companies. But, pending the time when the splinters will be removed, they are buying a “spare” stocking when they purchase a pair of hose; so that when they get a rip in one the other does not have to be destroyed. autoTalky’ use"grows Estimate 30,000,000 Gallons Needed for Cars This Winter. By Times Special NEW YORK, Oct. 13 —More than 30,000,000 gallons of alcohol for radiator anti-freeze preparations will be required this winter by automobile owners throughout the United States and Canada, according to the Industrial Alcohol Institute. This is due in part to the increasing popularity of closed car models and heavy additions to motor truck and bus transportation facilities. This tremendous demand represents more than one-third of the 85.000.000 gallons of industrial alcohol produced under Government supervision during 1928 for legitimate uses.

India Missionaries Pick Mates for 13-Year Girls

Run ‘Matrimonial Agency’ to Win Good Will of Parents. Obtaining husbands for girls whose parents would rather have them married at the tender ag* oi 13 than complete a Christian mission education is the task of Miss Emma J. Ennis, head of the United Christian Missionary Society’s school for girls at Bilaspur, India. Miss Ennis described the life and history of her schol in an address at the one-day missionary convention at Third Christian Church here Thursday. "I pacify the parents of these girls by promising to get husbands for them after they have completed their mission education,” explained Miss Ennis. “I do this by getting in touch with a mission school, for men in a neighboring section, and, after comparing notes with the head of the school, we pick out the men we think best suited to particular girls. Then the men are permitted to write to the girls and courtship follows, if the girls approve.” But everything In this improvised matrimonial bureau isn’t rosy as Miss Ennis can testify. “Sometimes the men, unused to writing to women, say the wrong thing and we have to censor the mail. Usually the girls fall in love with the men we suggest because we never pick a man without a vast amount of study into his character and habits. It is a queer system to employ, but it seems the only way. There Is no place in India seciety for an unmarried woman.” Suit to collect $5,000 taxes and penalties for alleged liquor sale has been filed in Federal court against George (Bucq) Lyster, operator of a soft drink establishment at 252 E.

TRAVEL RECORD SHATTERED BY U. S. TOURISTS t France Fails to Hold Her Usual Lead; Germany Gets ‘Play.’ -BY MINOTT SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer PARIS, Oct. 13.—A1l records for European travel by Americans have been broken this year, according to end-of-thc-season reports from steamship companies and touring agencies. France, however, has not had the lien’s share of business from American visitors as in previous years. According to Arthur Dobson, Paris manager of the American Express Company, American travelers are spending less time In France, particularly Paris, and are seeing more of the rest of Europe. “Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Czecho-Slovakia now are attracting American visitors to such an extent that the tourist business is being more evenly distributed,” Dobson said. “Probably the chief reason for this is that living in France no longer is cheap. “Stabilization has increased French prices so that visitors And they can move about in other countries as reasonably as here.”

HOOVER IS HELD CERTAIN TO WIN IN NEW MEXICO State Will Go Republican by 5,000, in Opinion of Observer. BY E. H. SHAFFER. Editor, New Mexico State Trihun* ALBUQUERQUE. N. M., Oct. 13. —Herbert Hoover will carry New Mexico by 5,000 votes, about the plurality accorded Coolidge over Davis four years ago. Hoover is extremely popular in this State, partly because of his personal contact this summer with virtually every Crossroads leader, and partly because of a sentimental affection for the man who spent a part of his early career here. However, He Is Popular Mostly, because much is known of his ability and because New Mexico as a livestock State takes seriously the tariff issue, desiring a high rate on products of the plain. Hoover’s name and reputation are peculiarly familiar to New Mexico through acquaintance with him when he sat at the head of the original Colorado River conference table in Santa Fe. Democratic on Calendar In favor of A1 Smith is the fact that the State always has quivered between Republican and Democratic majorities and this by the calendar Is a Democratic year. His views on prohibition will not hurt him in a majority of counties. Republicans of the last Legislature have passed an enforcement, statute that sanctified, so far as State officers are concerned, the possession of a quart of liquor. Four years ago La Follette won 9,000 votes and the disposition of this independent bloc is sufficient to swing the State’s three electoral votes If there were any way of knowing whether they will vote together this time and how. Approximately 10 per cent of the State’s total vote is resident along the eastern side of the State, nor- ’ mally Democratic by heavy majorities. Catholics for G. O. P. The State's heavy Catholic vote, probably more than 50 per cent of the total, is largely Republican in politics, and there has been no surface indications of any desertion of Hoover. Republican campaign speakers are stressing the necessity for a high tariff and are assailing Smith’s views on regulation of Colorado River waters. Democratic speakers are concentrating on cabinet corruption, lack of dry enforcement, and refutations of the theory that protective tariffs are infallible prosperity media. Senator Bronson M. Cutting. Santa Fe publisher, is opposed for re-election by J. S. Vaught, Albuquerque attorney. Albert Simms, Republican, opposes Congressman John Morrow.

SHAKEUP IN FEDERAL POSTS LONG PROMISED But Hope Has Been Lost for Sweeping Reorganization. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Reorganization of the Federal Government’s structure, as proposed by both Hoover and Smith in their acceptance speeches, is an old story to Washington. As far back as 1912, President Taft submitted to Congress suggestions for a reclassification of the executive departments and independent bureaus in the Federal Government. President Harding went even further and presented to Congress a complete plan for a regrouping of the various agencies that comprise the governmental machine. Congress rejected Harding’s plan. As Secretary of Commerce, Hoover absorbed several bureaus from other departments, notably the Bureau of Mines and the Patent Office. The United States Chamber of Commerce, which has been an outspoken advocate of reorganization, has now reconciled itself to a “progressive reognazination” and has given up any hope that a sleeping change can be pushed through Congress at once.
