' Editor Times: May I make an announcement through your paper. It.'is important, and concerns ail the people of Indianapolis. Today this city will have a big funeral—a municipal funeral. We will bury the political remains of George V. Coffin. It will be a big event, and every one is invited. The chief pallbearer will be Reginald Sullivan. The funeral oration will be delivered by Chairman McKinney, and the praver will be offere ! by the Rev. Hildebrand. The funeral will be difff ant in many respects from ordinary interments. In fact, it will be a unique event. It will not be as melancholy an event as allairs of this kind are. ordinarily. There won't be many tears shed unless they are elephant tears. The labor unions. I am informed will turn but “en masse," and there may be a few goblins in evidence. The remains will lie in state all day. Every one is requested to come early, avoid the rush and not to shove. Also, thev are reminded tand this is important* omit flowers. The chief usher will be former Mayor Charles W. Jewett. I am informed that D. C. Stephenson will not be present, being unavoidably detained elsewhere. Ex-Governor Ed Jackson will embellish the occasion, though, by his presence. He will appear on horseback. The Statute of Limitation will be read by Walter Myers, and as the remains of the once powerful chief are being lowered into the earth, a select choir, composed exclusively of members of the Good Government league, will sing or intone the requiem: "Goodby, George, take keer of yourself.” THOMAS D. McGEE. Chairman Funeral Arrangements Committee.

DROPS MADE BY TIN Wall Street May Be Forced to Unload Stocks. Bv l Kited Press LONDON. Nov. s.—Unrelieved depression reigned on the stock exchange today due principally to disappointment in the action of the New York stock market Monday, which raised the fear in some quarters that Wall Street may be forced to unload stocks here. Other bearish factors included readjustment of values due to attractive terms of the new 5 per cent conversion loan, liquidation by provincial centers, further heavy falls in tin and rubber, and weakness in Paris and Amsterdam which was evident in offerings of Royal Dutch and Margarine Union issues. The st.net market was practically deserted due to the holiday on Wall Street and business was restricted to leading mining stocks. Drunken Driving Alleged GREEN CASTLE, Ind., Nov. 5. James Ale. 26.

GENERAL NEWS REPORTS QUIET STOCKMARKET Brokers Believe Good Buying in Small Lots Are by Newcomers. BY ELMER C. WALZER Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. s.—Wall Street rested today while New York citizens cast their ballots in a municipal election. Wednesday the market will open at the usual time, but closing has been changed to 1 p. m. irking a three-hour session. The same procedure holds true for Thursday and Friday. The week ending with a holiday all day Saturday. Looking back on the market Monday, observers were of the opinion that the list behaved according to normal procedure. The activity was reduced and selling was growing less persistent. Incidentally, it was learned today that a considerable amount of necessitous liquidation had been cleaned up and that remaining margin accounts will be bolstered to withstand a severe selling, should another develop. Bear Interest Built Up At the same time this forced selling out of poorly margined accounts was in progress a bear interest was being built up. This was considered a favorable factor, in that it would make for a rapid rise, once anew advance started. The general prediction still is for a quieter market, with fluctuations in a narrow range. However, there are many who look forward to a renewed period of buying. This is stated in the letter of Anderson & Fox as follows: “There may be a period of leveling off from here, affording a fresh opportunity for the discriminating buyer. In the course of time, the low levels of last week, as well as those recorded today, may look ridiculously low.” Brokers Report Good Buying Brokers reported good buying in small lots from a long list of newcomers in the market. These persons had seen the success of the many who played the recent bull move and they thought present prices were bargains. Incidentally, investment trusts also were said to be taking further large blocks of stocks on recessions. This sort of buying made itself felt Monday after a lower opening and prices rallied sharply when the buying order were uncovered. The industrial average now stands at 257.98. This compares with 273.5, the figure reached on the recovery last Thursday, and with 230.07, the low of the year, touched on Tuesday. The figure now’ is back to where it was last Wednesday, Monday’s break having wiped out all of Thursday’s recovery.

By Science Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Two men who gave to the world the earliest knowledge of the all-im-portant vitamins, Professor Christian Eijkman of the University of Utrecht in Holland, and Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, professor of biochemistry at the University of Cambridge, England, have been awarded the 1929 Nobel prize in medicine. Professor Eijkman was the first man to produce experimentally a disease of dietary origin. In 1883, when director of the hygienic laboratory at Batavia, Dutch East Indies, he succeeded in producing polyneuritis in fowl by feeding them a diet, consisting exclusively of completely polished rice. He previously had noted that this disease resembled closely the disease beriberi occurring in human beings. In both the human and fowl disease, the nerves show the same degeneration, and the symptoms are very similiar. In 1921 Professor Eijkman was made a foreign associate member of the National Academy of Sciences here. Professor Hopkins, in 1906, first demonstrated that an accessory food substance besides proteins, fats and carbohydrates was necessary for growth, reproduction and maintenance of life in animals. Since then he has done considerable research on the nature of these accessory substances, which we know by the name of vitamins. Professor Hopkins has been called discoverer of the vitamins.

USE o 7 SCIENCE 3Y CHURCHES IN CITIESISURGEB Dr. Lyman P. Powell Says Great Mission Field Is Overlooked. By l ime* Svrvial NEW Y~“", Nov. s.—American churches, which yearly send small armies of missionaries across the world into Africa and Asia, stand most desperately in need of missionary work in the field wiiich should receive their most concentrated attention, the heart of the great American city. This is the view expressed by Dr. Lyman P. Powell, distinguished educator and lecturer, who several years ago undertook the ministry of St. Margaret’s Episcopal church in the most rapidly growing section of New York city, the Borough of the Bronx. “Os the million persons in the Bronx, only 170,090 even nominally are attached to any fold.” Dr. Powell writes in the current issue of The Review of Reviews. “And with less than 20 per cent of the Bronxites religiously affiliated, the one-quar-ter of these habitually attending services bring the total of the dependably religious down to perhaps 4 per cent, and indisputably makes the Bronx as definitely a missionary field as India’s coral strand or Africa’s sunny fountains.” Church Must Be Center What churches must do if they are to hold their ground and progress in the polyglot and materialistic city of todaj 7 , Dr. Powell believes, is to devote less time to abstruse theology and differences of dogma, and to give more attention to making the church an active social agency, a center of neighborhood life and a welcoming friend for newcomers who are puzzled where to turn for help with their everyday problems. In such regions as the Bronx, to be found in every great American city, the population is made up largely of newcomers from the errantry, the small town and foreign land, he points out. These find it difficult to adjust themselves to neighborless life in small apartments. There perhaps are families representing a dozen different races in a single block, living among the natural racial and antipathies which delay social cohesion. The consequence, unless the church steps in as a guiding influence, is an individualistic, bohemian existence which results in the disintegration of family, as well as social, life. Ministers Must Get Busy “If ministers would stop arguing a’" miracles and get busy doing what they can with the aid medicine and psychology now lend to religion,” says Dr. Powell’s Review of Reviews article, “the world would accept more quickly Edna St. Vincent Millay’s stout saying: ‘The Church of God is not a candle. Blow on.’ ” Ministers and their church workers, he continues, must discard the old ideas of positive and inherent good and evil and supplement their efforts with scientific knowledge. “The queer one is in many a home,” he says. “To call her devilish is to betray ignorance. Mental inheritances and moral tendencies can be tracked to their lair. gDental lesions, eye strain, intestinal infections and other irregularities may explain much. Whatever the cause of the queerness it must be treated with intelligence and patience. Scolding, berating and ostracism are as antiquated as the ball and chain.”

AUTO MAGNATES SEE NO DANGER OF SATURATION * Discount Overproduction Warning of Willys Company Head. B" Tinny .mini NEW YORK. Nov. 5. The recently published warning by L. A. Miller, president of the WillysOverland Company, that the motor car industry is “faced with a serious problem of overproduction” is discounted by Alfred P. Sloan Jr., president of General Motors; A. R. Erskine. president of the Studebaker Corporation, and Alvan Macauley, president of the Packard Motor Car Compeny, in statements published in the current issue of Sales Management magazine. The magazine accompanies the statements with figures showing that production for the first nine months of 1929 totaled 4,860,720 cars, making an increase of 32 per cent over the same period of 1928, and approximately the entire production of that record-making year. Nothing Permanent The three executives, while admitting tacitly the probability of temporarily curtailed production, fail to see anything in the present situation which will affect the stability or impede the continued progress of their industry. Sloan estimates the 1929 production of all American factories at approximately 5,000,000 cars and looks forward to a time when there will be a “regular yearly production of 5,500,000,” a total not yet approached. Macauley believes that while “as usual, some motor car manufacturers have overproduced, many, and perhaps most of them, have not. The situation in any event is not serious as manufacturers have their purchasing of materials and manufacturing programs in excellent control. The industry has not more nearly approached a temporary saturation point than it has a dozen times in the last ten years.” Regulated by Sales "Production schedules are regulated by sales,” says Erskine, who also does rfind the situation as "sc as Miller believes. "Competent management will apply the brakes quickly to prevent overproduction. Stocks in hand of the Studebaker Corporation and its

LIVERPOOL IS CHIEF FACTOR IN GRAINPRICES Corn and Oats Lower as Result of Action in Wheat. Rv Unit'd Press CHICAGO. Nov. s.—Wheat prices were down again on the Board of Trade today. Absence of any favorable new’s and the unexpectedly low prices at Liverpool were the chief factors. Liverpool was down about 2 cents just before the Chicago market opened. Continued liquidation by longs added to the depression. Corn and oats were both lower as a result of the action in wheat. At the opening wheat was off % to 2 l s cents, corn was down '* to % cents and oats was ’n to •% cent lower. Provisions opened very weakly. The action of wheat has not been to the liking of the eastern houses and several have been letting go of the large supplies bought last week. Liverpool and Buenos Aires opened lower this morning, Liverpool U ing especially low during the early morning. The news is considered bearish, though dry weather was reported in Ind'a and the Argentine farmers are asking for financial support from the government. Storage room isr.t a premium, and with the movement of the new corn crop expected very shortly, this lies a depressing influence on he corn market. The offerings have been small so far, the farmers holding for a better price, but with the fair weather over the belt larger receipts can be expected. There was some selling of dc ferred stocks of oat o . Monday, and with support rather poor, it declined w’ith the other grains.
