ARMY GROUP TO MAKE STUDY TO CUT COSTS Sweeping Military Inquiry Is Ordered by Hoover and Good. BY HERBERT LITTLE T.'nftrd Prfs Staff (-nrrtxpondent WASHINGTON, July 24.—Study of tne entire American army system, witn a view to drastic changes and curtailments in the interests of economy and tax reduction, will start soon. President Herbert Hoover and James Good, secretary of war, have agreed on the necessity of a sweeping military investigation and Good soon will announce appointment of a board of prominent army officers of the general staff to do this work. —raying out the orders of Hoover, The commission will, according to United Press information, consider among others the following drastic proposals: 1. Extending the army aviation and houisng bills, so that the $200,000,000 involved will be spent over a ten or fifteen-year period instead of within five years. Abandon Small Forts 2. Possible abolition of the cavalrv and coast artillery branches, now regarded by some persons as obsolescent. 3. Abandonment of many small forts in the interior, originally built for Indian warfare. The President's formal statement announcing the economy move, and citing the fact that the United States now has the largest military budget of any nation in the world, suggests in general terms consideration of the foregoing measures. The mission of the board of officers was said to be "to consider our whole army program, to see what services and other outlays have become obsolete through advancement of science and war methods, and what development programs can be well spread over longer periods in view of the general world outlook end at the same time maintain completely adequate preparedness.” Proposals to Congress The board's recommendations will have to be made to congress, probably through the President, if any extraordinary economy measures arc to be put into efTect in next year’s budget. The estimates for next year have just been sent to the bureau of the budget, where they will be trimmed slightly and sent to congress in December. Military activities this year got appropriations of about $330,000,000 and approximately the same amount was expected to be requested for next year. Congressional opposition to any drastic reduction was considered probable as congressmen are usually reluctant to abandon forts and activities in their own states.

ANSWER PAVING SUIT Seek to Restrain Shelby Street Improvement. Shelby street property owners have no legitimate "kick” on the assessments for the paving of English avenue from Southeastern avenue to Brookville road, John C. McCloskey, works board member, said today. Property owners have filed a suit to restrain the city from paving the section which formerly was intended for the street car tracks. The center section was reserved for the Indianapolis Street Railway tracks but they have abandoned the plan of installing a line on that avenue. “The county constructed the pavement without any cost to the property owners. The city agreed to assume one-third of the expense of the contemplated improvement,” McCloskey said. ‘‘At present the street is not drained and the paved strips on the outside will be useless in a couple years if something isn’t done right away.” McCloskey declared.

MIDNIGHT BOAT PARTY ENDS IN TWO OROWNINGS Men Held After Women's Bodies Are Found in Lake. 11 WESTMORE, Vt., July 24—Two men are held today after a midnight boating party which sent two women to their death in the waters of Lake Willoughby. The victims were Mrs. Yvonne Corriveau, 30, wife of a Lawrence (Mass.; grocer, and Miss Cecile E. Corneillier, 28. of Haverhill, Mass., an organist. Their bodies and an overturned fiat-bottomed rowboat were found near the eastern shore of the lake Thursday. Pending outcome of an autopsy, Michael J. Tierney, 34, and William F. Leighcher, 30, both of New York, were held as the companions. The two men, disabled World war veterans, spent the night in jail. According to police, Tierney and Leighcher invited the women to go for a row on the lake Monday night. The party crossed the lake, a distance of about a mile and a half and sat among the pines on the opposite shore for an hour. On the way back, the men said, the water became rough and they started for the nearest shore. Their boat was sivamped and all tumbled into the water. Tierney and Leighcher claimed they tried vainly to rescue the women. They said that after reaching shore. The body of Miss Corneillier was found in shallow water. In her clothing police found S4O in bills. The body of Mrs. Corriveau, with three deep wounds in her head, was found under two feet of water near shore.

Barrett law office at city hall is required to stamp Barrett, oonds brought in for redemption and pay them in the order filed. They bear interest from the time filed to the date the delinquent assessments are paid. Calculation of such interest will require at least two clerks, Holt said. Robinson's office will be required to send out thirty, sixty and ninety-day notices of delinquent assessments. Property is subject to sale for the amount due after the lapse of six months. The amendment will greatly benefit contractors, who take the Barrett bonds for improvement jobs. Many contractors who formerly sold the bonds will hold them since they carry 6 per cent interest. “The new law provides the county treasurer deposit in seperate accounts on each delinquent assessment roll. It will take more than 15.000 separate bank accounts and 1 doubt whether any bank will take

WHOLESOME DIET AID TOJEALTH A Little Sugar Helps Us Enjoy the Foods We Need The public should know the truths about food and diet as they are related to health. The latest medical opinion emphasizes that we need varied foods and balanced foods, including milk, cereals, vegetables, fruits and meats. It isn’t enough to eat one or two kinds of foods, and it isn’t wise to eliminate any important food from the diet. As every woman responsible for feeding a household knows, taste is the controlling factor in getting women, children or men to eat foods that are sufficiently varied. This is exactly where sugar comes into the picture, for, as has been pointed out, sugar is the greatest condimental food in the world. A little sugar develops the flavors of healthful cereals. A sprinkling of sngar makes currants, blackberries and other fresh fruits highly enjoyable. A group of women cooking experts recently uncovered the old secret that a dash of sugar in vegetables while they are cooking brings out new and enjoyable flavors. Good cooks know how to use a little sugar to develop the flavors of roasts and other delectable meat dishes. Correct amounts of sugar used in milk desserts help children and adults eat enough milk. The most enjoyable meal is the one that is topped off with stewed fruit, ice cream, cake or candy desserts. Help adults and children to eat varied foods. A hit of sweet makes the meal complete.
