TEXAS TROOPS : STAND GUARD ' AT OIL WELLS Soldiers Patrol Fields as They Enforce Governor's Martial Law. By United press LONGVIEW. Tex., Aug. 13 —Ap- ! parently completely successful in their shutdown of more than 1,600 wells in the east Texas oil field, 1 1,200 state troopers today began the tedious task of checking every well in the four counties in which Gov- I ernor Ross Sterling invoked martial law. Divided into small groups, the men rode from derrick to derrick, making sure that the valves on every well were closed. Through silent fields, where thousands of dollars’ worth of machinery stood silent, troopers rode. Meanwhile, nearly 10,000 oil field workers, thrown out of employment by the shutdown, loitered on the locations, or roamed the streets of the boom towns of the field which last week set an all-time record for oil production with an average daily yield of 738,000 barrels. The troops encountered no resistance. A few workers were bitter against Governor Sterling, but in most cases operators informed the Governor they would keep the men on their pay rolls during the shutdown. It is not expected that the martial law order will be in force more than two weeks. Oil men throughout the state, especially those who have favored pro-ration, welcomed the move whick- sterling announced was taken to prevent waste of vast reserves. Governor William H. Murray of Oklahoma, who tw r o weeks ago closed the flush fields of his state by martial law, telegraphed his personal congratulations, saying: “Your reasons are too sound to be interfered with. You are to be congratulated by the people of the whole midcontinent section.’’ No effect on crude prices was noted, but belief is general that a drastic upward revision will be made within a few days when a shortage develops. Whether the price w r ill reach $1 a barrel, the figure set by Governor Murray at the time of his Oklahoma closure, is doubtful. CHARGE WAGE CUTTING ON FEDERAL PROJECTS Publication Urges Congress to Probe Into Contract "Hogging.” By Scripps-H award Newspaper AJllance WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Congress may be asked to investigate charges that federal building contracts are being given to anti-union wage cutting contractors. The charge is made in the current Issue of "The Progressive,” of which Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr., Wisconsin, is president. The magazine says: "The forthcoming congressional session will perform a valuable public service if it will bring the facts to light. If it is true that the government’s emergency construction program, created to alleviate distress among the unemployed, is being hogged by a group of privileged and influential anti-labor contractors, the people ought to know about it.” APPROVE APPOINTMENT State Education Board Rules Mrs. Hayden Qualified. George C. Cole, state superintendent of public instruction, announced Monday that the state education department had approved appointment of Mrs. Eugenia S. Hayden, Rockport, as superintendent of the Spencer county schools. Department objection had been voiced, due to lack of certain educational requirements made up by Mrs. Hayden at Indiana university summer school. Cole explained. She was appointed to the position upon the death of Carl C. Woolner, former Spencer county superintendent. CITY APARTMENTS SOLD North Meridian Street Building Bought by C. E. Carriger. Purchase of Howland Manor building at 3753 North Meridian 6treet, and the two-story frame apartment building on the lot adjoining it on the north, has been made by Charles E. Carriger, president of the Indiana Scale and Equipment Company of Indianapolis, from the estate of the late George M. Smith. Purchase price was approximately $125,000. W. E.

RIGHT IS THIS FILM IN EVERY RESPECT “Transatlantic” Smashes One Right on the Nose With Action and Suspense from the Very Start. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN AM going to do a little raving because ’’Transatlantic” hits you right in the nose from the very start and keeps up the blows of interest until the great adventure is all over. It is my thought that ‘ Transatlantic’’ is a sort of a "Grand Hotel” removed from the lobby into a great Atlantic ocean liner. Here is my idea of grand melodramatic theater. Anything which might suggest the idea of “Grand Hotel” is bound to be filled writh human action. The author of this movie story gives you types going abroad for various reasons. On board is the fine old grinder of lens; he ha# saved everything so he and his daughter may go to Europe. On board in the

best suite is the great banker in whose bank is deposited millions. The upright (?) banker is accompanied by his splendid wife and his pleasure loving mistress. Both are not in the same cabin. Then there is the gambler who really turns out

to be a man with a heart and a great human understanding. Then there are the crooks, hundreds of just every day people, the crew, the captain and even the men in the engine hole. All of these have been reflected as if the mirror of nature had been turned upon them. That makes great direction. Here is really great direc-

tion. That is the background of great theater. All of these people come on board just as they do in real life. Really, you get better acquainted with a great liner by seeing this picture than being on one. The director has taken the real background, the honest atmosphere of the boat, and made it a part of the melodramatic action of the story. Before you get through, you have the future of at least a dozen people at stake. This is real theater. The cast? You ask. Yes. Splendid. Edmund Lowe is the gambler with a human heart and a human understanding. Good and satisfying action. Lois Moran is the sweet daughter of the nice lens grinder. Nice and sweet work. Just right, not too sweet. Jean Hersholt, her father—as you would expect. Just right. Honest and convincing. And many, many others in the ! cast. Really, it is the background, I the great moving human backj ground of this movie which makes ! it such a fine piece of workmanship. Here is very near the last word I in modem melodramatic theater. I recommend "Transatlantic” with I no fear that you will write me and raise thunder. See it. Now at the Lyric. u tt ■; THIS MAY BE CHICAGO AS WAS Some time ago when Chicago really had a bad smell about its royal name, there were lot of shows putting that town on the spot. One of them was “On the Spot,” by Edgar Wallace, who turns out plays about as rapidly as old man Alger (or young man Alger) turned out the Alger books. Wallace has given us a rather mild story of a Chicago gangster | who plays classical music upon a ; pipe organ in his lavish apartment while lie plays with a cute Chinese lady and looks longingly at the w T ife cf one of his gunmen. Nothing stands in the way of the great guy, Tony Perelli, (Donald Woods) who controls judges arft about everything in the Windy City. The great guy even puts on the t spot two of his men. One gets the dose but he escapes for a few minutes so the audience may see the great boss giving the guy the lead. That is as much of the story as I will give you. It is miles away from being great theater. It is just another play written in the language of the day. The cast is all right.

By United Press GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 18.— Industrialization of China under a "ten-year plan” was under consideration by the international labor office today. The unique pregram, drafted along lines similar to the Soviet ’ Russian five-year plan for industrialization, would involve purchase from abroad of enormous supplies, including 12,000,000 tons of steel and 200,000.000 tons of coal. The program is built around the idea of modernizing China, cultivating millions of acres of land now not used in that vast country, and developing industrial works throughout the nation.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LEGION CRITICS ARE DENOUNCED O’Neil Flays Foundation’s Attack as False. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Ralph T. O’Neil, national commander of the American Legion, today denounced as "misleading and inaccurate” criticism by the Carnegie Foundation of the legion. The foundation, in its annual report Monday, referred to legion leaders as “political colonels,” and condemned in forthright terms bonus and pension agitation, and said: "Plash notice was given to the people of the United States that the leaders of the American Legion intended to raid the treasury.” The report. O’Neil said, “Is replete with misinformation and the conclusions are based on false conclusions and utterances.”

TRAINING YOUR DOG BY L. J. BROSEMER, Director Chappell Kennel Foundation.

HOUSEBREAKING a dog is to teach him to be a gentleman. A cat is a gentleman from birth, but the dog must be taught this etiquet. Contrary to popular belief, a dog is slow to soil his bed. At all times, a dog is to be judged as a dog, and not held up to human standards. This often is overlooked and the dog punished for something he may be incapable of accomplishing. Older dogs cause little trouble in this respect. They seek the outdoors or wait until they can get outside the house. The puppy is the offender. B B B WHEN you have bought your puppy, say at the age of 3 to 5 months, have a big heart and plenty of gunnysacks. Allow three to four weeks for his course in etiquet. Bear in mind that the human puppy takes many weeks longer. The first aid in housebreaking is to establish regular feeding time for

l the puppy. At this age he should be fed three or four times daily. Feed at the same hours every day Each day, shortly after feeding, I take him out for a walk. Take him along *he same route each time. An | ash pile here or some grass there will serve him as excellent reminders. Try to take him to the same spot where he performed his duty previously. If at all possible, take him out loose. He will go ten blocks without doing his duty as a gentleman if he is on the lead, but running free, he will take care of the matter very promptly. We now come to another consideration. He has done the deed and on your new carpet. The culprit must be caught in the act because a puppy's memory is just, about thirty seconds long. Catching him on the scene of the crime, act quickly. Shout at him, seize him, place his nose against the very spot where the crime was perpetrated, give him

a few not too gentle taps, and follow this with a hurried exit outside or to the kitchen. B B B A FTER a few of these crimes and punishments, he will have a care. The daily walks should be continued. Toy puppies, such as Pekingese and Pomeranians, can be housebroken readily by placing an old paper in the corner to which they have access at all times. This method can also be used with other puppies and later supplemented with an outdoors course. In the course of time, all dogs become gentlemen. In this statement, I include male and female dogs alike. And in training, the female is a bit more to be desired than the male. She yields more quickly to obedience, is more trustworthy, and not inclined to scatter attention as does the male.

6-GENT COTTON MAYJE BOON Low Price Will Spur Cut in ’32 Acreage, Belief. By Beripps-H award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Au~ 18—Six cent cotton, the curse that caused the federal farm board to make its cot ton-destruction proposal, may be a blessing by next season. This year’s low price, occasioned by the record large crop and small demand, may result in wide reduction in acreage next season, and in higher prices. The cotton trade is beginning to think along these lines, as it sees the board's drastic suggestion to southern cotton farmers being more widely censured and ridiculed. Many believe the probabe reduction in acreage next year, as the result of 6-cent cotton this year, will bs augmented by the 10 per cent acreage reduction which took place this spring.
