Ind—What is the best way to spend a vacation? If you are an old man like myself. I jay. go fishing! Even though it ends in the traditional prophecy of the fisherman's luck, go fishing! Go back to the scenes of your youth and childhood; find a shady bank, watch the bob of the cork and the water spiders as they glide over the glossy surface, and rest and dream. Re-live your life in moments of memory. In that holy trinity of silence, meditation and memory are the visions that unfold the portals to the dreamer's paradise. Go fishing! ana FROM Alice Mulbarger. 4930 Park Avenue—We call it * our lake.” It is a small, isolated lake in northern Michigan, habituated by Hoosiers. “Our lake” is like home. It is so fashion resort. We display

only bathing suits and fishing hats. I am a stenographer. We girls unconsciously vie with each other jealously in the matter of clothes. At "our lake” clothes are unimportant. We are not conscious of them. We have the companionship of home without the city heat; the long, unbroken sweep of field and lake. For me it is a mental and physical stimulus to be free, to see nature as Qod made it. FROM Ruth Brandt. 319 South Lvndhurst Drive —My vacation was spent in Washington, D. C. I saw President and Mrs. Hoover leave the White House for church. Visited the Ford theater where Lincoln was shot, also the house where he died. An old sailing vessel built by the English government in 1790 arrived there on a trip around the world. It being the capital city, It is an historic place of interest, education and sports. It gives one knowledge of historic and governmental events we couldn't get elsewhere. The scenery is beautiful. It’s something you read and hear in daily life and it's an enjoyable, worthwhile vacation that one won't forget. FLA MES ROUT FA MIL Y Fire Does $l5O Damage in Early Morning Blaze at Home.

HOOVER FINDS HANDS TIED IN WHEAT CRISIS President Feels He Can Do Nothing but Follow Farm Policies. SLUMP IS DISCUSSED Results of Legge’s Visit to West May Be Seen in Primaries. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 15. The crisis of declining wheat prices was discussed at length by President Hoover with his cabinet today after Secretary of Agriculture Hyde had reported on the situation disclosed during his western tour. Various methods of coping with the problem were debated, with Hyde known to be in opposition to I the plan of Senator Capper (Rep., Kan.) to have the federal farm i board purchase millions of bushels | of wheat to peg the price before it dips further. There was no indication the administration had any intention of adopting the Capper idea. Sliding wheat prices, carrying increased political importance the further down they go, are being watched with anxiety by the President and senators and congressmen up for re-election. Hands Apparently Tied The President, according to his closest farm adviser, feels there is nothing he can do except to rely upon the federal farm board policies established. He does not intend to take a hand in the situation personally at this time, nothing being planned beyond a conference with Chairman Alexander Legge of the board when he returns here next Monday. Administration spokesmen feel tlie market drop is the natural consequence of overproduction, particularly in the southwestern wheat growing area. They frown upon the suggestion of Senator Capper that the board buy 100,000,000 more bushels to augment the 60,000,000 bushels purchased before the recent decline. Project Is Inadvisable Such a step would cost in the neighborhood of $78,000,000, they say, adding the question, “What would we do with 160,000,000 bushels of wheat if we bought it?” Insufficient storage facilities to withhold such an enormous quantity of grain from the market, as well as the knowledge that it would have to be destroyed to benefit the market, make such an undertaking inadvisable, they contend. The farm board chairman is now in the farm belt, preaching curtailment of acreage as the solution of the problem. However, he has met with caustic criticism from some quarters, particularly from Governor Clyde Reed of Kansas. Primaries May Tell Talc The political effects of Legge's vist may be read shortly in the Kansas primaries Aug. 3, when Reed runs for renomination and Senator Henry Allen, friend of the President and sponsor for his policies, seeks the Republican senatorial nomination. Allen is opposed by several other candidates. Capper is running for renomination without opposition, but he sides with Reed. The administration group here feels that the outspoken Legge may not have been politic in some of his statements, but it is standing foursquare behind him as it did when he recently was criticised by grain dealers, headed by Julius Barnes, intimate of Mr. Hoover.

Frank Goldsborough

Lad Lies in Wreckage of Plane for 24 Hours While Friend Seeks Aid. Bu United Press BENNINGTON, Vt., July 15. Frank Goldsborough, 19-year-old holder of the junior transcontinental flight record, was brought to Putnam hospital here today, almost a full twenty-four hours after he had suffered a fractured skull in an airplane crash. He had lain pinned beneath the wreckage of his plane through a cold night after Donald Mockler, New York publicity agent, who had been thrown from the plane when it struck, trudged through de se woods and underbrush to get aid here. The accident occured near an abandoned lumber camp, eight j miles from Woodford, the nearest | community, while Goldsborough and ! Mockler were en route from Cleveland, O. to Keene, N. H., where ! Mockler was engaged to lecture | Monday night. Unable to judge his ' altitude p operly because of fog, the young pilot brought his ship too low. Upon striking the tree, one wing and part of the tail was severed from the plane. The remainder fell to earth. Goes for Help Mockler tried in vain to extricate Goldsborough from the wreckage. Finally he determined he would have to get assistance. Mockler thought at the time that injured legs were the extent of Goldsborough’s injuries. Five hours after setting out from the wreck, Mockler reached the house of Harry Walker. Walker drove Mockler to Bennington proper, where searching parties, including several airplanes, were mustered. Asked to cite any landmarks by which the place where Goldsborough was trapped might be located, Mockler said he had passed four cabins on the way. Searchers Find Lad Oscar Champine, one of those who volunteered to assist, knew of a place where four cabins were in close proximity to one another. He led a group, including Mockler, to the area. During the night, Mockler collapsed and was forced to rest at Knapp’s cabin, one of the structures to which he had referred. One searcher sighted the blue and yellow colors of the plane among trees in what is known as Googansville’s swamp. He also said he noticed a movement of underbrush near the plane. He later expressed the belief that Goldsborough moved the wreckage, thu- also moving the growth, in an effort to attract attention of the men.

JURORS CALL REPORTER FOR GANGQUIZ AID State's Attorney Snubbed in Chicago Inquiry, to Get Action. PROBER NOW IN CUBA Brundidge, St. Louis Star investigator, Will Talk on Own Terms. Bu United Press CHICAGO. July 15.—The Cook county grand jury, described by a criminal court justice as having tht eyes of a nation focused upon it, took steps today to bring about an official airing of rumors which have involved Chicago’s newspapers since the discovery that a murdered reporter had been a racketeer. Informed by Chief Justice Denis J. Normoyle of criminal court that they could call witnesses whether the state's attorney approved or not, the grand jurors invited Harry T. i Brundidge, reporter for the St. Louis Star, to testify before them Brundidge was sent here by his paper after Alfred (Jake) Lingle, $65 a week Tribune reporter, was murdered June 9 and it was revealed Lingle’s yearly income as a racketeer and go-between for officials and gangsters, had been $60,000. Others in Graft Articles by Brundidge charged that other Chicago newspapermen were as much racketeers as Lingle and that there existed here alliances between politics, the newspapers and gangland. The Lingle murder has. as Justice Normoyle pointed out, “focused the eyes of the nation upon Chicago’s gangland activities.” Drawn by Brundidge's articles into the general furore and maze of rumors which had caused a general police “shakeup” and involved the entire city, newspapers united in demanding that Brundidge be called here “tell what he knew.” Brundidge’s offer to do this was blocked when State’s Attorney John A. Swanson insisted that he question the reporter before Brundidge testified. Brundidge’s paper would not allow him to submit to this questioning and the matter was dropped. Never Mind Swanson “I do not believe that you are interested in publishers’ quarrels, if they exist,” Justice Normoyle told the jurors Monday. “But so much has appeared in the press about this case that I deem it my duty to suggest that you call before you such witnesses as you want to hear, irrespective of the fact whether they may or may not be advised by the state's attorney’s office before they come to you.” Brundidge sent word from Havana, Cuba, Monday night that he will testify and it appeared certain today that he will be heard under his own terms. The Tribune today said Brundidge’s testimony also would concern another paper, the Evening American. It said investigators had learned that Harry Read, American city editor, was the man spoken of by Brundidge as being arrested in Cuba with Alfonse (Scarface Al) Capone. Name Attack Leader The Daily News and Herald-Ex-aminer both tod.ay named Ted Newberry as leader in a recent loop attack upon Jack Buta, just after Zuta’s arrest for questioning in connection with the Lingle murder. The papers said Newberry had been made to “walk the plank” by the Moran-Aeillo-Zuta forces and had sought revenge upon Zuta. A street car motorman was kilied and another man wounded, during the loop battle, one of the most sensational in the city’s history. 40 DAYS WITHOUT RAIN: ’TIS WHAT THEY SAY Superstitious Won't Believe Weather Man—Not Today Anyway. Bu I’nited Press NEW YORK, July 15.—The same folk who trust to groundhogs rather than barometers cast their eyes upon the heavens today and prepared joyfully for forty days of picnics, excursions, boat rides, bathing. motor trips and other outdoor festivals, unmarred by rain. This was St. Swithin’s day, and all the scoffing of the United State* weather bureau which can cite columns of figures to prove the contrary, couldn't persuade the superstitious that the ancient superstition is “a lot of baloney.” New York's weather was clear and cool with little likelihood of rain today. If it had rained, the rredulcus ones would have laid in a forty days’ supply of umbrellas, galoshes, raincoats and indoor games.
