LARGE DONORS RALLY TO HELP OF ORYLEAGUE Indiana Organization Has Not Curtailed Its Work, Says Superintendent. Contributors of large amounts to funds of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League have stood by the organization "like a rock wall" and prevented it from suffering the inroads of depression. That was the assertion today of L. E. York, superintendent of the Indiana organization, commenting on recent stories that the AntiSaloon League of America faces financial disaster. The Indiana league, York said, is solvent and fast is paying off a small indebtedness. It has, no notes in the hands of the national league, he added. ‘‘Due to the faithfulness of our larger contributors," York said, ‘our income today is approximately 30 per cent.of what it was a few years ago, despite the depression. Work Not Curtailed "While we have faced some delinquency in payment of smaller pledges, our larger contributors have stood like a rock wall, increasing, rather than decreasing, their pledges. ‘‘We have not had to curtail our work or our staff.” York said the Indiana league, in 1931, received pledges and cash amouting to $41,680.92. Cash receipts were $35,515. At present the league has $22,412 in unpaid subscriptions, he added. The difference in the figures is accounted for, he said, by the fact that some of the cash received was pledged the previous year, and that some of the pledges, paid quarterly or semi-annually, were made late last year and are not yet due. In 1927, he said, cash and pledges totaled $54,000. Gain In Pledges Expected "We have found we can depend on collecting approximately 80 per cent of our subscriptions,” he declared. "In the various towns and cities we have visited this year for pledges, we have found a gratifying response, in some instances total pledges exceeding those of last year. "We expect this year's contributions to exceed those of 1931 because this is a presidential year and more money is needed.” The Indiana league, he explained, pays no “dues” to the national league, but, instead, helps the national league to raise its own funds in this state.

BOOTLEGGING BIBLES IS NEWEST RACKET American Publishers Fight Influx From Foreign Firms. By United J'ress NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—“ Bootlegging” of Bibles into the United States from Europe has brought a protest to the American Paper and Pulp Association. American publishers contend they can not meet foreign competition, as depreciated currency has made possible the shipment of cut-rate Bibles to America.

By Scripps-lloward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb/19.—An interstate compact to restrict and control petroleum production will be proposed to congress in the near future.

500 TEACHERS WILL MEET AT DALLGOLLEGE Commerce Instructors to Attend Annual Sessions in Muncie. By Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Feb. 19.—More than 500 teachers of commerce in high schools and colleges of Indiana and several from other states will be in Muncie Saturday to attend the twelfth annual conference. Miss Winifred West of Broad Ripple high school, Indianapolis, chairman of the conference, will preside at all sessions, which will be held in assembly hall, Ball State Teachers college. The conference is held each year prior to the Indiana state high school commercial contest, scheduled this year for April 30. Professor M. E. Studebaker, head of the department of commerce at Ball college, is director of the conference and contests. "Motivation in the Teaching of Business Subjects,” will be the general theme of the conference. Dr. Paul S. Lomax, professor of education, New York university, w r ill be the principal speaker. His address, which will be given at 9:15 Saturday morning, will be on the subject, "Motivation as a Creative Force in the Teaching of Business Subjects.” Other talks in the morning session will be “Motivation in Bookkeeping,” by Eldon Johnson, Huntington township high school, and "The High Schol Commercial Club as a Motivating Factor in Secondary School Business Education,” by Miss Beulah Buchanan, Mishawaka high school. Luncheon will be served in Lucina hall. At the afternoon session .. three talks will be given, followed by a round-table discussion. Speakers and their subjects are: “Motivation in Shorthand,” by Vernal H. Carmichael, Ball college; “Motivation in Junior Business Training,” by Elvin S. Syster, North Side high school, Ft.

An educational exhibit of class projects, used in motivating class work, and furnished by commercial teachers in all parts of the state, will be on display. The exhibit is in charge of Earl Clevenger of the department of commerce.

36.03 and 31.68, respectively. Ohio, which is referred to as the cradle of the Anti-Saloon League, figures in these returns with 71.50 per cent “wet” and 28.50 per cent “dry” vote. The Literary Digest, however, issues a warning of caution that these first returns are so small in comparison to the final vote anticipated that any tendencies evidently apparent now may be completely overturned. The magazine calls attention to the fact that many of the reputedly dry states are not included in this current tally and that heavy voting from these sections is beginning to pour in and will be reported at an early date.
