PROBE TUNNEL FIRE TRAGEDY FATALTO 11 Experts Join Efforts to Learn Source of Chicago Mystery Blaze, By Unit'd Press CHICAGO, April 15.—Mining expert* joined today with city, county, and state officials in egorts to determine cause of a tunnel Are which killed eleven men. Safety measures so that such a tragedy can not happen again will be planned. A coroner's inquest into the deaths of the eleven men was adjourned until April 21 to give officials time to perfect their reports. The jury was taken today into the huge intercepting sewer where gas laden smoke trapped two score workmen. Besides the eleven who died inside the tunnel, a traffic policeman, was killed by an ambulance speeding to a hospital with some of the rescued. Fifty-four men were injured seriously enough to require medical attention. Scores of others, most of them firemen, suffered minor injuries. Opening testimony at the inquest did not establish whether it was sawdust, packed about the wooden forms for the concrete walls, or the forms themselves, which had burned. It was agreed there was little, if any, actual fire inside the tunnel, but that smoke from the mysterious blaze had filled the passageway with amoke so dense powerful lights could not penetrate it.

NEWS REEL SHOWS LONGWORTH’S LIFE

Times-Universal Films Are Packed With Late News of the Day, Paying high tribute to the career and personality of the late Speaker Nicholas Longworth, The Indianapolis Times-Uuiversal newsreel, now showing in leading theaters of the city, presents some of the important moments in the life of the Ohioan. These pictures show him in Washington, scene of his triumphs in a public career of more than thirty years—as congratulator of Lindbergh on his return from France, as Speaker of the house and with his wife, the former Alice Roosevelt. Graham McNamee, crack announcer of the National Broadcasting Company, tells the story of “Nick’s’’ death and eulogizes his works. The talking reporter of the screen also tells interestingly of the other events pictured in the newsreel, unreeling a particularly interesting story of a stampede of invalids to the great Khivin salt lake in central Asia. Another instance of raith in Providence comes from Brookline, Mass., where Mme. Helene Alberti, a songbird of the concert stage, fails in another enterprise—fly ng with flap-wings. From Toyohara, Japan, come pictures of the Olympic trials for ski jumpers and these flying gentlemen furnish the real thrill—and spill—of the reel. The Hollywood bowl, with its great human cross formed to welcome the Easter sun, supplies one of the most DRY WINS ‘WET’ PRIZE Brooklyn Artist Gets $250 for Poster Slamming Prohibition.

TURN THAT VACANT LOT INTO A GARDEN

Many Willing to Work and Raise Vegetables for Their Families. What are you going to do this summer with that vacant lot? Let it grow again a worthless and unsightly crop of weeds, and collect tin cans and other refuse? It could feed a hungry family. Unemployed men —and women too — are begging for opportunity to grow a garden and produce the food they and their families must have. How willing? Here are excerpts from a few of the letters received already by The Times Garden Editor: "I would love to have a nice garden where I could raise something to help feed my family. Please give me a lot where I can have a garden, if you have one. I would- love to plant something to help keep the table going.” That from a mother. “I have not worked since last July. I would like to tend a garden. I am living off the county now,” writes a father. “I have two babies. We would be glad to raise what we eat. I have been out of work a year. Please let me know about it soon,” is the plea of a father with two mother-

KIDS ARE KINGS OF THE FUTURE AT Jl SHOW They Overrun Everything; Get Own Way; They’ll Buy Planes Tomorrow. BY ERNIE PYLE Times Staff Correspondent DETROIT, April 15.—The national air show, now in progress here, is being overrun with children. They flock to the show by the thousands, swarm over the planes, block the aisles, twist the cockpit instruments out of shape, get under the customers’ feet, and walk away with all the exhibition literature. Most of the exhibitors let the kids do as they please, for they are the great airplane market of the future. They don't have to be educated to flying, like older people. Tuesday night two boys stood looking up at the huge fourteenpassenger Sikorsky air exhibition. One had pulled his blouse out of his pants, and was holding up the ends, like a washwoman. In it was stacked dozens of airplane booklets. The other carried a gunnysack over his shoulder. It was crammed full of pamphlets collected from each exhibiting booth. At last they stood, so tired they could hardly walk, their pamphlets burdening them heavily, gazing longingly at America’s biggest amphibian plane. Seeing them, the Sikorsky salesman walked over and gave them two of his finest booklets that he had been hiding all evening long from children.

'RECORD IS SET FOR ALL TIME RY U. S. GOLD Economists Get Headaches Seeking Plans to Move Out Stocks Again. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 15.—King Midas himself would be amazed to survey the huge stock of gold now centered in the United States, constituting more than 40 per cent of the world’s supply. To economists it only means a headache puzzling over the possible effects of such a continued concentration, and figuring how it may be moved out again. Total gold stocks in the United States now stand at $4,706,000,000, a record for all time, a federal reserve board survey disclosed today. The world supply is something more than $10,000,000,000. The golden flow continues toward the United States. During the last year stocks were increased by $271,000,000. The general effect of a concentration of such a large proportion as now in this country has a tendency to strain other nations in maintaining the gold standard, according to economists. That which adversely affects other nations, in turn adversely affects the United States. ‘Y’ INVITES MEMBERS Special Summer Rates to Be Offered Again This Year.
