HOOVER’S JOBLESS AIO is HELD INSUFFICIENT Mahanm Congressman Will Ask Millions More for Needy. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—Assailing President Hoover's relief program as 'a trifling palliative," Representative George Huddleston of Birmingham today said he will push his bill for a $50,000,000 emergency appropriation for relief of the poor, to be administered by the President. The President in his message minimized the seriousness of conditions,’’ said Huddleston. "The public works that he proposes would be only a drop in a bucket. Hardly any of it can get to the people before six months, and when it does a great bulk will be absorbed by contractors, machinery manufacturers and overhead."

SHOWOOWN ON SHOALS LIKELY Revolt in House May Bring Action at This Session. Bu Scripps-Horcard Xeiospaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Hope for an agreement in the house-senate conference on Muscle Shoals legislation had faded completely today. But, as a result, there were two developments, either of which may lead to final action at this session. Chief of these was the fact that seeds of revolt were being sown in the house against its Muscle Shoals conferees and there existed a probability that a show-down may be reached today on whether house leaders are going to allow the five men appointed last spring to continue to represent the lower body in conference. The second development was the growing belief that if, in next Tuesday's second Shoals conference session, no agreement is reached, proponents of the Norris bill for government operation of Muscle Shoals will demand a vote to instruct the conferees to accept that measure or the Norris compromise, offered last spring, but not yet renewed.

QUEEN SHOPS FOR YULETIDE; NURSERY FIRST What British Royal Mow.er Buys Is What Whole Nation Purchases. By United Frees LONDON, Dec. 4.—Queen Mary has begun her Christmas shopping at the most important point—the nursery list. Accompanied by Princess Mary, her majesty has spent several days at the toy shops selecting gifts for small members of the royal family, their friends and for various institutions. Parents as well as other shoppers are keenly interested in what selections the queen makes, for some of her gifts may start anew fad, and the children are always fully satisfied if they know they have something similar to the royal nursery gifts. Solves Adults’ Problems For the adults it solves many problems—the queen’s gifts are always the correct thing. Children’s story trays which tell famous nursery tales probably will be popular, for the queen has bought two and Princess Mary several. These trays are unbreakable, stainless and heat-proof. The queen may set another fashion—an adult one—for the library. She has chosen sets of book-ends, with line-drawn studies of famous literary characters. Burns and Scott are among her choices. She also bought an ingenious leather case for crossword puzzles and dictionary. Suffers From Eyestrain New York baskets which can be hung from the arm, and several articles of pottery are among her early purchases. Queen Mary's gifts to the Needlework Guild of the Imperial Institute, articles made by herself, were not so numerous this year as has been the case in the past. Guild members do not believe that, the queen is losing interest, but it is recalled that her majesty’s oculist last May suggested that she refrain from any' undue eyestrain. MORROW AND BULKLEY MEET FOR FIRST TIME Two New Senators Expected to Lead Prohibition Fight. Bu Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Two senators who are expected to carry the burden of the fight to re;val the prohibition law have held their preliminary conversation. They are Dwight W. Morrow, the new Republican senator from New Jersey, and Robert J. Buckley, the new Democratic senator from Ohio. Each was elected on a, repeal platform. Morrow and Buckley never had met before Wednesday afternoon, shortly after Morrow had taken his oath of office. Buckley left the Democratic side of the chamber and walked to the far northeast corner of the room, where Morrow had been assigned a seat. They chatted like old friends and agreed to meet again soon for a fuller discussion of the prohibition situation.

Patrolman Dominick Griffo, a rookie of two years on the New York police force, never had been particularly proficient at pistol practice. But when four bandits attempted to hold up the patrons of a case in which Griffo was seated, off duly, he dropped all of them with six shots and then subdued a less seriously wounded one with his empty gun. Three of the prisoners were in a serious condition. APPROVE RAIL STUDY Builders Back Sullivan in Probe of Insul! Plan, Confidence in the manner in which Mayor Reginald H.

LEGGE ASSERTS BANK PROGRESS RESTS ON FARMS Vigorous Action Is Needed, Farm Board Head Says in Speech. By United Frees SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 4.—The progress of banking in the United States depends largely upon a better adjustment of agricultural production. Alexander Legge, chairman of the federal iarm bureau, told the agricultural commission of the American Bankers’ Association at its annual meeting here today. "Self preservation should make the agricultural problem of sufficient interest, aside from any obligation to try to improve the financial position of the community you serve, to suggest vigorous action on your part to see that this crime of overproduction isn’t repeated,” the farm board leader said. Rome C. Stephenson of South Bend, president of the bankers’ association, was the host to the gathering, which included a number of agricultural experts, college professors and bankers. Closer relationship between banker and farmer will aid in solution of the problem, Legge pointed out. Speaking of the responsibility of the bankers, he said: "It is not the province of. the farm board to predict future ffrices, but under a condition by which we enter the spinning season with a surplus of 6,500,000 bales of American-grown cotton, facnig a reduced consumption which seems likely to aid aneither 1,500,000 bales at the close of the spinning year, it should not be difficult for you to draw your own conclusions as to price levels a year from now. ” Aged Woman Killed By United Press NAPPANEE, Ind..

FATIGUE CAUSES WORKERS TO MAKE MANY MISTAKES Especially Noticeable During Mid-afternoon—the “Zero Hour” in Business The condition think”— is familiar to nearly everybody. When experienced by thosd working under pressure, where mental alertness is necessary, it often results in errors both large and Email. Investigations show that midafternoon is the time when fatigue with its attending results is most in evidence. Many men and women, however, have discovered a method to overcome this tired feeling. They take a moment to eat or drink something sweet and are able to proceed with their work with new vigor. Candy, ice cream, cookies, small cakes, soda-fountain beverages and the “athlete’s cocktail” —a glass of water sweetened with sugar are not only efficient mid-afternoon, snacks but accessible to all. They are quickly digested and the energy provided by the sugar is immediately available. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with sugar. The Sugar Institute.
