BAROMETER OF BUSINESS URGED AS JOBLESS AID Move Would Prevent Slump •in Industry, Says Governor. By HENRY MINOTT tnitM Pre*i Staff Correspondent BOSTON, Feb. 26.—1f the Indus‘rial states would scrutinize employment fluctuations in good times h.s keenly as in periods of depression, they might go far toward alleviating recurrences of the present lump, believes Governor Joseph Buell Ely of Massachusetts. He expresses this view in an interview today. Governor Ely, Massachusetts’ first Democratic chief executive in fifteen jears, already has put forward a vigorous and comprehensive program designed to relieve the Jobless in this commonwealth. His plan, among other things, calls for a $20,000.000 bond issue to finance an ex- ! enslve schedule of building cont ruction and highway development. Must Be Watched These depressions are not always the result of the same cause. Occasionally a panic is a money panic,” he said. ‘‘Sometimes it it because of the fall in commodity prices, but always in a broad sense is evidenced by a preceding period of speculative extravagance eithei in promotion or production. ‘‘lf the premise is right, government and business can greatly assist in curbing the speculative period provided it is in possession of reliable information that can be used as the basis of its warning. ‘‘ln order to put the government in this position, a routine process of watching employment is important. Information Needed “The department of labor and industries of the industrial states should be equipped properly so that it can have at hand constantly, as a barometer of business, reliable employment and unemployment statistics.” Declaring that the construction of public works was the second largest industry in the United States, Governor Ely said that “so far as reasonable, as a business within government control, it should be utilized for expansion as the depression in other business begins and should be contracted as other business improves.’’ WAINWRIGHT FUNERAL TO BE HELD IN CITY Manufacturer Will Be Laid to Rest In Noblesvillc.

It is believed an effort will be made to learn the source of the machines. After entering the guilty plea, the court asked Acton where he obtained the machines, and after considerable hesitation he said Grover Vance supplied and installed them.

SPEECH TO HIT ‘FEEDING KIN AT PUBLIC TROUGH’ Oklahoma to Turn Blast on Congressmen Who Hire Relatives. By Bcripps-Hovcard Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Before congress adjourns, one of the men who is quitting it for good, will deliver a speech designed to make the men he leaves behind him squirm in their seats and wish the Congressional Record did not have such a vide circulation. TTie speech will be made by Ulysses S. Stone, Republican representative from Oklahoma, and crusader against nepotism. He introduced a bill about a month ago, which would make it illegal for congressmen and other high officials to place relatives on the government pay roll. It made him somewhat unpopular among his colleagues. Stone already has announced facts and figures abcut congressional wives, sens, daughters, brother* and sisters, as well as nephews, on the government pay rolls; has asked for committee hearings on his bill, and has called on President Hoover to ask his support. Scores on Pay Rolls But when he makes his final speech on the floor, it will become a j part of the Congressional Record and go to every congressional district in the country. Discussions of nepotism in the | last few weeks have disclosed thatj approximately 100 relatives of members of the house are on government pay rolls, and approximately thirty relatives of senators. These estimates cover only close relatives, and do not include nephews, and others, whose names are different from those of their congressional relatives. They draw j ! approximately one-tenth of the j ! amount allowed for clerk hire.

Many Don’t Earn Money A great many of these employes earn their money by hard work every day. A great many others do not. Some of them never appear at the Capitol, but draw pay twice a month just the same. It is against this latter class that Stone’s bill especially is directed, and his crusade has received enthusiastic, though anonymous, support from the ranks of congressional clerks, who work for low pay while relatives of their employer draw as much or more for no work. KIDNAPERS GO WITH MAN TO GET RANSOM Manufacturer Is So Nervous Bank Teller Calls Police. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Kidnapers who held Harry Kaplan, wealthy cigar manufacturer, for two days under threat of a death by fire, accompanied him boldly to a bank Wednesday while he withdrew $5,000 they demanded as ransom, Kaplan reported to police. So nervous was Kaplan in asking for the money at the Continental National bank, however, that the teller pressed an alarm button, the bank’s detectives came rushing up and Kaplan’s three abductors fled before they could be arrested, he added.

Pulpit to Apple Peddler

A crate of apples became a sidewalk pulpit for the Rev. Eliot White, as this unusual picture shows, after his resignation from the staff of fashionable Grace church in New York had climaxed a dispute with Bishop William T. Manning over marriage views. Now, deprived of a pastorate, he designates himself as a “clergyman at large” and is seen here working during the lunch hour for an unemployed apple seller in the midtown business district of the metropolis. He has championed companionate marriage and recently officiated at the wedding of his own daughter whose marriage, it was announced, would be “companionate.”

TREE PLANTING IDEA ADOPTED | State-Wide Response to Walnut Offer. State-wide response to the walnut planting program of Frank S. Betz, retired manufacturer of Hammond, is noted by state conservation de- ’ partment officials. Several months ago Betz proposed to plant 1,500.000 walnuts on Arbor day, April 10, and enlisted aid of the forestry division of the state department. Commenting on the Betz program to return many idle acres to productivity, Richard Lieber, conservation director, said it is the first plan of this kind ever sponsored, and credits Betz with one of the most constructive reforestation programs ever undertaken by a private individual in this state. The Betz offer is to give 1,000 tested walnuts ready for planting to any town, city, civic club or school in the state which matches his offer and i buys 1,000 walnuts from the state forest nursery at $2.50 a bushel. This price is the actual cost to the state nursery for collecting, stratification and packing. Indiana is now third in the annual

production of black walnut lumber valued at $1,250,000. It is estimated by foresters that the proposed planting of a million and a half walnuts this year will produce walnut lumber in fifty years to the value of $15,000,000.

MOUNDS SHOW ‘DEPRESSION 1 IN ANCIENT DAYS Indians Had Building Slump on Several Occasions. Excavations Prove. By Science Service EAST ST. LOUIS. 111., Feb. 26. Prehistoric America had its periods of building activity, and perhaps, in between, its periods of depression. Evidence that Indians of this region organized their efforts no less than six different times to work on the great Powell mound is the latest discovery made by archeologists now excavating the base of the ancient earthen monument here. Examination of the site indicates that there was no very long gap of inactivity between the building of the six successive stages of the mound. Dr. A. R. Kelly, director of Illinois archeological explorations, told Science Service today. The mound is definitely prehistoric and well may be at least 1.000 years old. he said. The Powell mound, part of the famous Cahokia group of Indian mounds, is proving a strategic site for scientists who arc writing Americas prehistory. Explorations so far offer convincing assurance that Indians of Cahokia were linked culturally with Florida and the gulf of Mexico to the south and also to the North with Wisconsin. Dr. Kelly said. So significant are the contents of the mound considered that Dr. W. C. McKern of the Milwaukee public museum has come to East St. Louis to observe the excavations. He finds a marked similarity between the Indians here, as shown by their mound and its contents, and the mound building Indians of Aztalan. in Wisconsin. A link with the south is found in two species of shells in the Cahokia burials, from the gulf of Mexico. Copper-covered wooden objects shaped like spindles have been found in Powell mound, and these are almost exactly like objects found in a Florida mound twenty-five years ago.

elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs from colds, bronchitis and minor forms of bronchial irritations, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.
