U. S. ‘DUNNING' NEWEST WORRY FOR FARMERS Government to Hold Crop Buyers Responsible for R. F. C. Leans. By Bcrtpp>-Howar4 .Yet rnpaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Sept. 27—An elaborate set ol regulations has been drawn, and detailed instructions given to farmers and probable purchasers of their products by the government to insure its collection of federal loans to needy growers. "Paid in full!” is the government's admitted goal. The instructions to probable pur- ; chasers that they will be held obligated to see that the government gets its money, if purchases are made from debtor-farmers, published in part by the New York ! World-Telegram last week, are only part of the elaborate system of collection. The collection agency is the department of agriculture, which also was the distribution agency, in making loans from Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds voted by congress. 1 The loans, totaling almost $65,000.000, went into all parts of the country, to more than 510,000 borrowers, who gave first liens on thencrops as security. The advances, made for crop production purposes, draw 54 per cent interest, and are due Nov. 30. ‘Entire Crop Pledged’ Over the signature of S. M. Thompson, chief of the collection and inspection division of the Washington regional crop production loan office, a letter went to farmer-borrows, which said, in part: “No recent information has been received on your crops, and we therefore ask that you fill in the accompanying form. “The farmer is reminded that he has pledged his entire crop as -security” for his loan, and the department emphasizes "the importance of keeping your present good standing with this office, as your future credit rating will be largely determined by your promptness in paying this loan.” The questionnaire asks such questions as these: “Are you making a payment today? Have you sold any crops? V. r as all this money paid on your loan? Have you enough crops to pay your loan? If not, how are you going to pay this loan? How many hogs or cattle are you raising for sale? When will you sell them? Are you depending on the sale of your hogs to pay your loan?” Enclose Payment Slip Finally, the same letter has enclosed a payment slip for the “convenience" of the indebted farmer. Separate instructions have been sent to field inspectors of the crop production loan office, county agents, crop producers and buyers, and this sets forth how proceeds of sale of some crops may be used to pay harvesting costs. Another letter to state and field inspectors tells them to furnish lists of borrowing farmers to wholesale and commission houses that buy truck and fruit. Cotton ginners have been warned, in another letter, about protecting the government's interest in loans made to farmers. These ginners have been supplied lists of indebted growers. "Their cotton,” this notice says, “is covered by a lien or bill of sale and the purchaser is liable to the secretary of agriculture unless the funds are forwarded to Washington for repayment on the loan.” The legal question of whether or not purchasers of farm products from indebted growers could be asked to act as collection agencies was put to department of agriculture experts, and they explained that the practice was legal.

COMMer BRIDGE BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge Learn* THE man who agid. "There is nothing new under the sun,” evidently never had played bridge. There is scarcely a session of play that does not develop some new angle of offense or defense. Today’s hand, played in the national challenge team -of - four championship, contains a defensive play which probably is just a little different from any before recorded.
VlO-9-8-6-4-2 ♦ A-Q-2 ♦ K-Q-3 410-9- ' [NORTH] 4A-K-6-8-7-5 2 4-2 VK-J 2 5 VA-Q-7- ♦ K-10-7 * H 5 ♦ 7-5-4 Dealer #B-4 SOUTH ♦lO-8 ♦ J-3 V3 ♦ J-9-6-5-3 - . ♦A-J-9-6-2 105
The Bidding South and West passed. North had two and one-half high cards which usually should be shown in third position so he bid one heart. East bid one spade and South two clubs. West bid two spades. West had adequate support for a double raise in spades, but first wished to learn whether his partner's spade bid merely was a minimum overcall. North bid three clubs and when East rebfd his spades, West had no further hesitation about carrying the contract to game. The Play The four-spade contract was made in nearly every case, due to the fact that South opened his singleton heart, or else shifted to a heart after a round or two of clubs. The only pair to the hand’s successfully were A. P. Stockvis and Roy Thurtell of Washington, D. C. Stockvis elected to open the ace of clubs and was somewhat surprised when his partner played the king. In view of North's club assist, he must have at least three clubs. Furthermore, he would not surrender the king unless he also had the queen, nor would he play a high card, calling for another club lead, if he held four of that suit, for in that case he could count the declarer out, and would know the next club would be ruffed. Thurtell evidently was trying to convey ft message of some sort, and to secure further information, Stockvis played the jack of clubs, on which his partner played the three. Worth now positively was marked with the queen of clubs, so th^*declarer could have no more. Therefore, the obvious signal in clubs could not call for another lead of that suit and must have a different meaning. South’s most natural lead would be the singleton heart in response to the heart bid. However, Thurtell’s play had been most unnatural. If he wanted a heart lead, he easily could have played the three of clubs to the first trick, and the heart Vould have been led at once. Therefore, he must want something else. Since it would scarcely be a trump lead, with five trumps in dummy, Stockvis led a small diamond to the third trick. This permitted Thurtell to cash his ace and queen of diamonds before declarer could get any discards on the good hearts in West's hand, and the contract was defeated one trick.

A MERE MAN TRIES TO LOVE TWO WOMEN “Cynara” Is Made Humanly Delicious by Philip Merivale, Sir Guy Standing and Nancy Sheridan at English’s. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN WHEN a man tries to "love” two women at one time something is bound to happen. Especially so when the man happens to be married. This is the theme of "Cynara.” by H. M. Harwood and R. Gore Browne, which opened the season at English's last night. The long record of runs in New York, London and other cities should have some bearing on the value of a play. Here is a play done in many scenes, peopled by human beings and above all it treats a most serious theme in both its sophisticated comedv aspect as well as its tragic side.
You are interested in the holiday that Jim Warlock, played by Philip Merivale, has when his wife goes on a sudden six weeks visit to Europe. Up to that time, Jim has been really old fashioned. He admits that he is not interested in other women's legs or their hosiery. But he steps out of his social class and becomes interested in Doris Lee (Nancy Sheridan), just a little nobody in busy London. Doris and her chum, the practical Mildred Miles, go to a low priced restaurant and there they meet Jim and his wise old friend. Hon. Joseph Tring, played by Sir Guy Standing. Tring believes that Jim needs variety and so a clumsy introduction brings about the change in Jim. Jim made the mistake in not following the philosophy of Tring, -One cocktail does not necessarily make you drunk.” It is the method used by Doris to get her man that becomes the interesting argument of the play. She becomes his mistress under her own terms. She thought she would live up to those terms but Doris forgot that women do fall in love and that her Romeo was married and loved his wife. Doris, when she discovers that their make-believe paradise could not exist with Jims wife in London, takes poison. Then you have the coroner's trial and the terrific criticism of married men carrying on with young girls in a lower social register. The verdict, which ruined Jim’s career, was based on the supposition that he didn't pay Doris sufficiently in the gold of the realm. There you get your burning satire. The main thing to remember about “Cynara” is that the cast on the whole is right. Philip Merivale as Jim has increased his importance .on the stage with this characterization. You recall that Merivale created Death in “Death Takes a i Holiday.”
HOOVER AIDS 'MUM' ABOUT HISJUUTOS President Shuns Economy Examples; White House Garage Full. By Rcrippt-Hotrard Keirtpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—The example set by Speaker John N. Garner, Commerce Secretary Roy D. Chapin and Mayor Joseph McKee of New York in discarding expensive automobiles, bought and maintained by taxpayers, has not been followed by the White House. There are more and bigger and better cars in the White House garage than ever before. President Hoover has his choice of a sixteencylinder 1932 Cadillac, a Lincoln, Pierce Arrow, a Packard and a Ford. There are eleven cars in the White House garage. They are used also by his three secretaries, and one car, an open one, is assigned to secret service men who accompany the President. Because of adverse attention attracted in Washington by the fleet of White House limousines, orders were issued, it is said, for no attache to talk about these automobiles. "I really dbn’t know anything about them. I have no data,” Secretary Theodore G. Joslin replied when questioned. Taft Got First Car The first car came to the White House when the late Wiliam Howard Taft was President. It was a White steamer and it replaced the historic carriage. Later an arrangement was made, it is reported, with the Pierce Arrow company to supply the White House with anew car every year in exchange for the old one and SSOO. This arrangement still continues, but just what terms were made with General Motors for the Cadillacs and Henry Ford for the Lincoln have not been disclosed. The House appropriations committee last spring drastically curtailed widespread use of Govern-ment-owned cars by subordinate officials, but out of courtesy to Mr. Hoover nothing was done about the White House fleet. Congressmen were said, however, to have resented their number. Before congress directed the elimination of many cars the bureau of efficiency made a survey of the situation. It developed that officials connected with the prohibition and narcotic law enforcement supplied themselves with fourteen of the best seized cars. Used Seized Pierce-Arrow At the treasury. Assistant Secretary Seymour Lowman used a seized Pierce-Arrow. The survey showed that ten cars were used by the commerce department, including one for the secretary and one each for the assistant secretaries. The commerce secretaries used Packards. Most officials, the survey disclosed, used their cars for “social functions,” as well as business purposes. The notation opposite the Packard limousine assigned to Interior Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur said it was used by “the secretary and his family for trips, out of town or anywhere the secretary wants to go.” It is driven by a $1,680 chauffeur. More drastic curtailment of official cars will be made by the next congress not only in Washington, but throughout the country, it is expected. At the great salt mine at Salnic, Rumania, more than 80,000 tons of rock salt are mined annually.
Watch this man bring about definite changes by inflection, his walk and his mannerisms. This actor needs no makeup. Really great acting. The same can be said of the polished human sophisticated work of Sir Guy Standing as the “old man” philosopher. He brings a definite polish to everything that he does. The outstanding character work done by a woman in the cast is the way Nancy Sheridan developes Doris. You will remember her big scene when she makes her proposition to Jim. Kathleen Lowry as Clemency Warlock stepped i n and played the role when Phoebe Foster became ill. Miss Lowry gave a satisfactory, when fairly considered, understudy playing of the part. You will be interested to know that Philip Brandon, well known in stock here, has a small part, but he does nothing wrong to the part. The other characters are the proper types. The lights and sets—just right. The only thing that was really wrong at English's last night was the. audience. It was entirely too small when you consider the recognized merits of the play and the cast. "Cynara” plays other cities as a subscribed Drama League attraction. I must maintain that if we are going to get the real successes, we must support them. That is not only a warning but a fact. "Cynara” is at English’s tonight, Wednesday afternoon and night. I sincerely recommend it as a brilliant comedy. * * m Other theaters today offer: “Grand Hotel” at the Palace, “Blonde Venus” at the Circle, "The Night of June 13" at the Indiana, and “Hat Check Girl” jtC the Apollo.

Store Goods With Shank and Be Sure of Safety
Special Rooms Are Provided for Pianos; Vaults for Rugs. In what appears to be almost an epidemic of depredations, it is suggested to those who live in apartments or hotels during the winter that locking up a house or a summer home is no assurance that there will be anything left by spring. In fact, the newspapers have carried stories of the removal of the entire contents of a home left with a caretaker, who was beguilded out of the way long enough to enable robbers to raid the building. People with valuables, even those of considerable bulk, should call the Shank fireproof warehouse, 1430 North Illinois street, and leave their storage problems with this concern. Special rooms of regulated temperature are provided for pianos and other articles affected by weather changes; a great vault is provided for storage of furs, oriental rugs and other valuables, and lockers are available for the safe storage of smaller articles. Storage of automobiles is provided. Articles sept in can be demothed and once in the storage vaults are safe from any kind of injury. The Shank company operates a large number of moving vans, and is able to move goods on short notice, while its storage facilities are ample enough to provide well for anything left with it. Forwarding of goods also is carried out according to directions, to any
OYSTER SEASON IS HERUGAIN Everingham Sea Foods Are Popular in City. The oyster season has returned. With the first month here, many will enjoy the healthful and delightful sea foods in the Philadelphia Oyster House, 105 East Ohio street, where J. W. Everingham conducts a restaurant famous for quality of food. Everingham has prepared oysters for nineteen years to serve to the public. He has made it a business to handle only the best grade obtianable. To be sure that his product is right, he has every oyster open in the shell before serving. He insists that every bit of sea food in his place must be fresh from the ocean. He has no canned goods of any sort. There always has been a great demand for sea foods, especially oysters, because of the iodine qualities they contain. For health they are almost an essential. As they are not seasonable during summer months, the waiting taste for oysters increases tremendously by the time early fall arrives. A complete sea food menu consisting of clam chowder, shrimp, frogs, oysters, arranged in any style, can be found during the entire fall and winter months at the Philadelphia Oyster House. With the knowledge of accumulated years of preparing sea foods, you can depend on Everingham to have dishes that would satisfy the most discriminating.

TOWEL SERVICE BUSINESS SOON Many Professional Men Deal With Selmier. There may be no royal road to distinction in this country, but there is a way for professional or business men who give personal service to keep clean in Indianapolis, made so by the Frank Selmier Towel Supply Company, the big establishment at 710 East Michigan street, managed by Frank Selmier.

They are intended for use of professional men, such as surgeons, dentists and others giving personal service, and are kept in the best of order, are made to fit and look well, and are preferred by those to whom appearance means much. Another division supplies aprons, sleeved vests, and trousers for food establishments, including restaurants and soda fountains, while long coats and aprons are supplied to grocers, marketmen and butchers. The towel service is complete, furnishing office towels, towels for personal service shops, such as barbers and beauty parlors, baths and other such places, and to a large number of industries of the city. Hotels, hospitals, and rooming houses also are large users of Selmier goods. The company has so perfected its service that regular calls are made on a large number, in accord with needs, and an abundant supply always is available for patrons. ' The Selmier road to cleanliness is deservedly popular. TUNNEY TO SAIL SOON ’ Ex-Heavyweight Champion to Resume Campaigning for Roosevelt.
