MOSCOW FACES VAST INCREASE IN FOOD PRICES Severe Housing Problem Is Eased by Edict to Cancel Court Suits. By t nited Presi • MOSCOW, Sept. 2.—The Moscow populace gained a measure of relief today in the capital’s tragic housing shortage, but suffered a setback through a startling increase in food prices in the government closed shops where costs normally are reasonable. In some cases, the increase in prices of essential foodstuffs was 300 per cent. Cheese, for instance, previously at 5.3 rubles (nominally about $2.55) went up 13 rubles a kilogram (2.2 pounds.) The housing program was dealt with by a government decree which will mean cancellation of thousands of court suits in favor of present occupants. In assigning living space, authorities were ordered never to put unacquainted persons of different setes in the same room, without consent of both parties. Such action has been common procedure. DAHLIA SHOW PLANNED Growers From All Sections of State Enter Fair Display.

E. Kennedy, both of Indianapolis, vice-president and treasurer. respectively and F. T. McCurdy of Kokomo, show manager.

United States circuit court of appeals at Chicago. It also is alleged Dale has committed “more than 500 separate felonies,’’ it being charged that he collected from two-thirds of the persons he appointed to city positions, 10 per cent of their salaries to form a fund by which he paid his counsel in the federal court trial. Violation of the corrupt practices act also is alleged.

DOOLITTLE SET FOR THIRD TRY AT SPEED MARK Barely Misses New Record on Previous Attempts at Cleveland Air Show. By l n ilril f’rei* CLEVELAND, Sept. 2.—Further attempts to shatter the world speed record for land planes will be made today at the national air races. Balked twice in his efforts to establish anew mark. Major Jimmie Doolittle had turned his Gee Bee monoplane, changed the propeller and was ready to take the air, for the third attempt. On the first attempt Doolittle raced his plane at an average speed of 293.193 miles an hour for four laps over the three kilometer course. Failure to carry a barograph rendered that effort futile. Thursday a strong head wind bucked his tiny plane and the best the plane could make was an average of 282.672. The record of Warrant Officer Bonet of France is 278.48 miles an hour, but to set anew mark, under rules of the aviation federation, the existing mark must be bettered by 4.97 miles an hour. Doolittle hoped to make a successful attempt toaay by changing back to the standard propeller w'hich he used in his first attempt. REORGANIZE FOR DRIVE Marion County G. O. P.
