U. S. FORCES GUARD AGAINST DROUGHT PROFITEERING
INFLATION OF FOOD PRICES NOTJEXPECTED LaGuardia Charges Attempt to Boost Costs in New York City. RED CROSS IN ACTION Hyde Declares Shortages Do Not Exist on Consumers Part. Bn Untied Pm* WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—The present drought situation and resultant crop shortage hold no justification of greatly inflated retail prices on farm products. Secretary of Agriculture Hyde said today after conferring with President Hoover on final preparations for Thursday's conference here. His department has received no reports of attempts at profiteering and he is confident the crises will be passed Without undue increases to individual consumers, Hyde said. He pointed out that while shortages exist for the most part they are in foods for cattle and not foods for human consumption. La Guardia Visits Hoover Shortly after Hyde's conference with the President, Representative La Guardia (Rep., N. Y.) called to protest to Mr. Hoover against a tendency he said had appeared in New York City to increase the price of meat, butter, eggs, vegetables and milk. At Mr. Hoover’s suggestion, he went to confer with Hyde about the situation. La Guardia said a 1-cent increase in the price of meat, butter and eggs, was justified, but that prices had increased from 25 to 35 per cent. Some vegetables, being sold at higher prices, were of an inferior quality. he added. The New York congressman said he would urge the agriculture department to make public figures on production of meat, butter, eggs, vegetables and milk, in order that the consumer might know whether prices were justified. “No Reason for Alarm'' • There is no reason for the housewife to become alarmed or panicky, ’ Secretary Hyde said. “While some truck garden products have been damaged, there is no real shortage.” Hyde indicated his department would maintain a careful w’atch on retail prices which, despite reports of increases from the larger centers, apparently have not reached a level the department considers unwarranted. , . Hyde called attention to the short corn crop, 2,212.000,000 bushels, and explained that only 75,000,000 bushels of corn were needed as table food. Red Cross Is in Action John Barton Payne, chairman of the Red Cross, also called upon President Hoover today and informed the chief executive that the organization had $5,000,000 available for drought relief. , , He explained that local chapters have been instructed to proceed, without further authorization from the national organization, with relief for any local distress, and that this is being donePayne said he expected relic would be needed in the fall. If the organization finds that its $5,000,000 fund is not sufficient, he said, he would ask President Hoover then to issue a proclamation asking for public contributions.

COURT ENJOINS MINEOFFICIALS Bars Use of Union Name by Illinois Faction. Bn United Pres* BENTON, 111., Aug. 13—The muddled and bitter legal battle between the John L. Lewis and Alex Howat forces for control of the United Mine Workers of America, entered another stage today in the Illinois district. Fifteen coal miners from various locals in Franklin county late Tuesday obtained a temporary injunction here restraining Howat, president of the reorganized United Mine Workers, and other members of his national and state district staffs from using the name United Mine Workers or the name District TVelve, the Illinois district of the national organization! The injunction has the effect of placing the Howat group on the defensive in their present fight to swing all locals of the union into their organization. Whether President Lewis, or other officials of the Indianapolis organization had knowledge of the attempt of the individual miners was not known. Most of them were from pro-Lewis locals.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
FLIERS' WIVES CLAIM WORLD'S COOKIN^MARK Dale and Forrest Should Be Fat on Landing, Mates Agree. Two young women, Sallie Jackson and Elsie O'Brine, wives of the St. Louis endurance fliers, have spent forty-three days in slightly more than a year cooking food that would please their husbands while the men were in the air on refueling flights. Jackson and O’Brine claim that much of their ability to stand the strain of long tests is due to the "home eooking” they get. In the following articles, the two wives explain how they try to make their husbands happy when aloft. ‘I Won’t Wash Dishes!’ BY MRS. FOREST O'BRINE At Told to the United Press LAMBERT FIELD, ST. LOUIS. Mo., Aug. 13. As cook for the two endurance attempts of my husband and Dale Jackson, I feel that I, along with Mrs. Jackson, should come in for the record as the champion endurance cookers of the world. Although the feeding task has been hard this year, it vas much easier than last summer when the boys set the record of 420 hours. We knew just what to give them tills year and as a result we expect them to come down fat. The main thing to remember when cooking for endurance fliers is to keep the diet well balanced. We believe we succeeded this year. We studied just what they needed—and gave it to them in large volumes. Potatoes, meats of all kinds, eggs, spinach, In fact all kinds of vegetables, make up a great portion of their meals. There are, of course, a few “trimmings.” They both like their “trimmings.” “I’d just like to say that I don’t wash the dishes. It’s a job I don’t like. We hired a maid for that.” They Should Be Fat! BY MRS. DALE JACKSON, As Told to the United Press LAMBERT FIELD, ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 13.—Both Mrs. O’Brine and myself found the task of cooking and keeping the boys in good spirits much easier this year than we did last summer when they set the record of 420 hours. Experience was the reason. We knew what Dale and Forrest wanted on this flight. We didn’t guess and I believe it aided greatly. Much of my activity was confined to supplying phonograph records and fresh roses. They have to have their roses every day. If the boys ate all we sent up, they surely will be fat when they land. They really have eaten much more a day than they did last year.
CHILDREN FOIL TORCHMURDER Save Mother From Flames Started by Strangers. Bu United- Presft ERIE, Pa., Aug. 13.—How a mother was saved from death by her three children and prevented a strange ‘torch murder,” was told today while Mrs. Edith Meyers, 30, is under treatment for severe burns. Mrs. Meyers and the three children, Bertha, 8; Elmer Jr., 5, and Gertrude, 10, were asleep when a man and woman appeared. The strangers asked for a roomer who had left the house three months ago. Incensed at their failure to see the man, the couple kicked in the door, tied Mrs. Meyers inside a blanket and set the bundle on fire. The mother’s screams aroused the children. They stamped out t'*3 flames and freed Mrs. Meyers, then ran to the neighbors for aid. Other fires had been started in the house but the neighbors were able to extinguish them. Mrs. Meyer's condition today was reported painful. UNEMPLOYMENT CAUSES HOSPITAL FUND DEFICIT Loss of $2,200 a Month at Terre Haute Institution. Bu United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 13.

IMMATURE DOLF COMPANY STOCK PAYSJWIFTLY Indianapolis Men Establish Some Sort of Record in Dividends. BY ARCH STEINEL J. Rufus Wallingford, the Fresh Air Taxicab, Inc., and it's figger-out-board meetin's,” are pikers. Even though J. Rufus paid dividends on the stock he sold within twenty-four hours, and Andy declares “divildends” with abandon, it took an Indiana corporation to beat the world's record for pay-off on stock. Aug. 5 three men took out articles of incorporation for the Universal Golf Greens Corporation. The men, Richard W. Wilkerson, 3907 Ruckle street; John Ogden, Denison hotel, and Ansil Moffatt, returned to the corporation offices, 706 Fidelity Trust building, and with the ink hardly dry on their charter, declared a dividend on the company's 1,000 shares of stock. It “Pays Off” Again” Three days later, Wilkerson. as president, called another meeting and the stock “paid off” again. And today Wilkerson says, “We’re getting ready to declare another dividend.” Two dividends in three days—how do they do it? Well, it all revolves around Hoosiers going “goofy” over pigmy golf. The incorporators become interested in an idea which originated in the west, for permanent fairways for the miniature putting parks. Greens in use by the miniature courses were said to cut and mar easily. Patched Like Street Paving A composition fairway that can be laid and patched like street paving was taken over by them. Moffatt, a chemist, was the original inventor of the chemical composition which makes the fairway mats. It is a fairway that is held to be true, lightning fast, and durable. The day the company was incorporated the first state course was sold, salaries deducted, and dividends declared. Sawdust, treated with chemicals, forms the course’s fairways. Orders for other courses followed with the resultant declaration of a second dividend. Wilkerson, president of the company, is the only one of the incorporators who knows the difference between a mashie and a niblick, but when it comes to “putting” dividends in their pockets, well, they admit they’re all champs.

LAUDS STATE IN PAT HIKE MOVE Labor Chief Praises Road | Increase Demand. High praise for the state highway commissioners’ action in blacklisting state road contractors who have cut wages for common labor to as low as 20 cents an hour, was voiced today by Secretary Adolph Fritz of the Inidana State Federation of Labor. Action was taken at a special meeting of the commission held Tuesday at New Albany. “Resolution of the state highway commission to deal drastically in the future with those contractors who have been ‘sweating’ labor at 20 cents an hour on state roads this summer, has the hearty indorsement of both organized and unorganized labor in the state,” Fritz declared. “Indianapolis did a good thing in writing a minimum wage clause of 35 cents into future contracts on public work, but I would like to see it raised to 40 cents an hour.” State, estimates were figured at a 40 cents an hour minimum labor cost. A survey by The Times and central labor bodies affiliated with Fritz’ organization disclosed that some contractors, or sub-contractors, were paying as low as 20 cents an hour. The Times and Fritz expect again to check the jobs where 20-cent labor has been employed. Unless the wages have been increased to meet commission demands, the matter will be reported again. GIRL, 5, MAKES TRIP ALONE ACROSS SEA Irmgard From Germany Wasn’t Scared by Storm. By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 13.—1 t was no celebrity that interviewers rushed to meet Tuesday in the train sheds of the Union Station, but it was little Irmgard Schlipf, 5, who just had made a trip alone from Hamburg, Germany, to join her mother, Mrs. Frank Kluczyk. Passengers who made the trip with her from New York stopped to give Irmgard a kiss and the train maid cried at the parting. Describing a storm on her trip j across the ocean, Irmgard said, “I was awful sick, but not a bit scared." Carrying a ragged doll, a purse and a diminutive suitcase, the little girl was more concerned about a nail in her shoe than meeting her mother, whom she had not seen for two years. Approaching her mother, who j came to this country to find work, j Irmgard said, “I don’t know you.” | Then she fell into her mother’s arms ; Rnd cried “Mutter.” |

CITY OFFICIALS TO DEDIDE ON 193ITAXRATE Assessed Valuation Set at $686,337,000 in Report of Auditor Dunn. With the receipt of certification of the city's assessed valuation at $686,337,000 today from Harry Dunn, county auditor, city officials planned to wind up the 1931 appropriation ordinance. They awaited the certification before definitely deciding on the 1931 tax rate to be recommended to city council. The drop of almost $4,000,000 will cause considerable decrease in the appropriations for hext year, although the rate is expected to be sl.lO, the same as last. Dunn said the assessed valuation for the sanitary board is $2,003,000. James A. Houck, city council finance chairman, and other mem* bers of the council finance committee, were called in for a secret three-hour conference Tuesday by William L. Elder, city controller, who is anxious to convert some of the city fathers to his budget recommendations. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan plans to call a special council meeting for introduction of the 1931 appropriation ordinance as soon as it is completed and approved by the finance committee members individually. . Seventeen Republican policewomen who draw $33,000 annually came into the limelight at the closed-door session in the controller’s office, according to city hall gossip. There will be an increase of five officers in police personnel, it is rumored. Elder has been silent to reporters since he started a series of confidential chats with administration leaders, but it is considered likely that the 1931 departmental requests have suffered severely from bluepenciling of the controller.
