SCHOOL BOARD DEFENDS HIGHER COAL CONTRACT Low Bidder, However, Says SIO,OOO Price Difference Not Warranted. The majority faction of the Indianapolis school board today stood steadfast on the declaration that it has purchased the best coal for the best price when the contract for the 1929-1930 school building coal was awarded last week to the next to the highest bidder at a difference in price of more than SIO,OOO. At the same time M. K. Foxworthy. secretary-manager of the Indianapolis Coal Company, the low bidder, declared he would welcome a comparison and analysis of the coal which would show that the coal offered by the successful bidder, the People’s Coal and Cement Company, differed but slightly from that of the low bidder. Charles G. York, business manager of the city schools, declared that his analytical chart showed the low bidder’s coal was inferior to that of the succcessful bidder. Another objection to the Indianapolis Coal Company’s bid was based on strip-mined coal, which we have never used in the schools, declared Fred Kenner, a member of the majority faction. “The difference in quality also decided is against the Capitol Fuel Company, which also was a low bidder.'* York said. The new contract is S3OO higher than that of last year, while the coal purchased last year was a deep vein egg coal which, according to Foxworthy, is of a far superior type than the coal contracted for. The minority members of the board, Charles W. Kern and Theodore Vonnegut opposed awarding the contract to the People's Coal Company because of the higher price and declared that the coal furnished last year by the Indianapolis Coal Company had proved satisfactory.

Carrots Turn Skin of Woman Devotee Yellow By Science Srn tee CHICAGO. July 23. —A strange case of a woman who was $o fond of carrots that she actually turned yellow from the amount of the golden vegetable she had eaten, has been reported to the American Medical Association by Dr. W. J. Potts of Oak Park, 111. The patient was brought to the hospital apparently suffering from jaundice. Her skin was an orange-yellow color all over, deeper on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. However, the whites of her eyes were not affected. She did not hav any other characteristic symptoms of true jaundice. One of the hospital physicians suggested she might be suffering from cartoinemia. This is the scientific name for a condition in which carotin, the yellow coloring matter of carrots and other foodstuffs, is present in the circulating blood The patient admitted being fond of carrots and said for three months she had eaten at least one cereal bowl full of them every day. Carrotin-rich vegetables and fruits were removed from her diet and her condition improved markedly within one week. The pigmentation had entirely disappeared within six weeks.

BRITISH LABOR PROBLEMS MAY UPSET CABINET Delay of Officials’, to Act in Textile Strike Menaces Confidence. LONDON, July 23.—At the end of the first seven weeks of its comparatively untroubled existence, the I labor government, a week before the beginning of the summer recess, today suddenly found itself confronted with three of the stiffest problems it has met so far. Ironically enough all three of the problems are purely labor problems. The most critical of the questions with which the labor government will have to cope, and very soon, is the threatened lockout of approximately 500,000 workers in the Lancashire cotton industry, where, after a week of futile negotiations between the mill owners and labor ; leaders, the workers, by an overwhelming majority, voted to quit work rather than to accept a 12 V 2 per cent wage reduction. Despite the urgent request of the workers that the government take a hand in the Lancashire situation, the government hesitated to take i an active part until Monday, when i it appointed Sir Horace Wilson and I Isaac Mitchell to confer with em- ; ployes of the cotton industry. It was hoped the notice of a lockout which the employers had served upon the workers would be withdrawn and that negotiations between the warring factions would Ibe resumed. In some quarters, howj ever, it was felt that intervention | of the government came too late to prevent trouble. Whatever the outcome, it was believed the current crisis would give Miss Margaret Bondfield, the labor

government's minister of labor, her first big task since appointment. The second problem with which the government is confronted is the demand of the miners that the labor government redeem its election pledges and restore the seven-hour day. The third problem, less acute, is | the complaint of the workers in the woolen industry of working condij tions, pay and hours. In the opinion of many here the general situation appeared dangerous because anything which would upset the confidence of workers in their own government would most likely spell an early governmental defeat.
