PUBLIC FUNDS BEAR MOST OF NEEDY BURDEN Cities Are Turning to R. F. C. for Relief of Their Jobless. Following In th nnrond of a .fries of • rtlrles on unemDlovment relief programs and problems BV LYLE C . WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Oct. 8— Survey of fourteen representative cities indicates that public treasuries—city, state and national—have been carrying three-fourths of the unemployment relief burden since the depression began. Large cities generally are turning to the Reconstruction Finance Corpc ration for aid in feeding, clothing „and sheltering the destitute this w.nter. Relief plans of ten of the fourteen ci.ies included finance corporation funds in their aid programs. Recourse to federal funds is accompanied by indications that private charity is weakening under the long depression strain. Millions Are Spent Finance corporation funds are required by Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago. Detroit. Atlanta, Cleveland, Birmingham, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Kansas City < Jackson countyi. The other cities in the survey are Los Angeles, New York, New' Orleans, San Francisco and Bostbn. Since the depression began these fourteen cities have spent approximately $284,000,000 to aid the destitute. Os this sum, private charity has contributed approximately $70,000,000. This latter figure takes no account, however, of neighborhood assistance. ' The aggregate public and private winter relief budget of these cities is $110,000,000, plus the New York City budget, which has not been fixed. New' York has spent approximately $84,000,000, of which $31,000,000 was raised privately. The heaviest burden is expected this winter.

Much From Private Sources One-fourth of Chicago's $4.3,500,04)0 relief expenditure has come from private sources. m This winter and next year will require about $40,000.000 for relief. Pittsburgh has raised $9,000,000, of which $2,500,000 was from private sources. Philadelphia has spent $27,000,000. The city is bankrupt. About 60,000 families need aid there. Baston has spent $21,000,000 so far and needs $8,000,000 this winter. The trend there, as in many cities, is away from private charity and toward public treasuries for relief funds. FEAR SCHOOL BOMBINGS IN ILLINOIS MINE ZONE ‘‘Communist Plot” Charged by State's Attorney of Fulton County. By I nitril Prrxs CANTON, 111., Oct. B.—Frightened parents followed state troops to the junior high and McCall schools after State's Attorney G. Ray Senift said he had learned the schoolhouses w r ere to be • bombed. Nerves of the citizens were on edge after a lighted bomb w r as found earlier in the day under a window of the Pythian temple, headquarters of the national guardsmen patroling adjacent coal fields.

The seventy-five soldiers found no bombs at either school, the students went back to their classes and Scnift announced: "Communists are invading Fulton county and stirring up trouble. My information concerning the school house bombings was correct, and I am certain they would have been carried out had they not been thwarted by troopers. NEON TRACES DEFECTS Fare Gas Is l T sed to Test Christmas Tree Bulbs, /)<</ Science service NEW YORK. Oct. B.—Neon, the rare gas that fills the reddish electric advertising tubes, now is used to tell when a Christmas tree bulb burns out. Eight 15-volt lamps are burned in a series on a Christmas tree string; when one lamp burns out all are extinguished. An ordinary vacuum lamp when burned out nust be discovered by trial, but when the lamps are filled "with Neon instead, the current passing through makes thus gas glow with its characteristic red when the filament is broken. Not enough current is let through to light the other lamps and the bulb with a faint reddish glow is the one that must be replaced. The same method can be applied t any series circuit, as when 110- ’ It lamps are burning on a 600•t trolley line, the journal Elect >nics points out.

35-Year-Old Millionaire Is California’s Wet Hope

Tallant Tubbs Colorful Figure in Battle for U. S. Senator. By Rrripy*-Hnirnrd Xnctjuiper Alliance SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 8.--A 35-year-oid millionaire clubman, carrying high the banner of repeal, is California’s wet hope against two drys in a bitter three-cornered fight for the senatorship. He is Tallant Tubbs, who surprised the political old-timers in August by seizing the Republican nomination from the veteran Hooverite, Senator Sam Shortridge. Tubbs, opposing William Gibbs McAdoo iDem.) and the Rev. Bob Shuler, prohibitionist, is marshaling liberal elements all over the Hoover state, in what is conceded to be a close contest in w'hich any of the trio might win. The political career of y’oung Tubbs has been one of the strangest, in the country, even compared with those of rich youngsters like J. Trubee Davison, Ogden Mills. Wild Bill Donovan and others, who have followed the call to office recently. In 1924, Tubbs simply was one of this city's Four Hundred, son of a big cordage manufacturer, handsome bachelor and Yaie man, a potential great catch for ambitious debutantes. In a gathering of politically minded friends one day he announced he wanted to become a state senator. First Elected at 27 “Tall,” remarked one of them, “where do you live?” “At the Pacific Union Club,” he answered. This is the city's mast exclusive millionaire rendezvous. “Well,” laughed his friend, “they aren't electing senators from that club.” “Then I’ll move.” countered Tal. Next day he moved into the district of one of the state's best intrenched pro-corporation state senators. He then took on a manager and publicity man and pitched in. He attacked this senator’s record, promised to work for light wines and beer, spoke for veteran’s legislation. He had been a flier in the war.

No one took him seriously. The incumbent only laughed. But Tubbs won, and, at the age of 27, took his seat at Sacramento, the youngest senator ever to be elected in the state. The corporations expected him to vote for them and their measures. But he voted for labor as often as against it. He became the veterans’ spokesman and chairman of important committees. Chiefly, he was plugging for anew deal in prohibition. Campaign Methods Simple In 1928 he ran as a wet for Lieutenant-Governor, polling 235,000 votes. This summer he took on Shortridge and four other candidates. and again his chief plank was repeal. Tubbs’ campaign methods are simple. He pays his own way out of his deep and ample pocket. He flys from town to town in his own airplane, an autogyro that permits him to land in the town square. He talks over the radio. Chiefly he talks repeal. His view's on other matters more closely conform to those of Senator Hiram Johnson than to those of the Hoover wing of the party. Johnson is expected to indorse him. So will liberal newspapers of the state. If he w'ins against the near-dry McAdoo or the very-dry Methodist Shuler, the wets will have another aggressive spokesman.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

4,000 PERSONS HEAR MAURER IN TALK HERE Capitalism Is Blamed for Depression bby Socialist’ Vice-President Choice. Blame for the depression was placed on capitalism as expressed by the Democratic and Republican parties, by James H. Maurer, Socialist candidate for Vice-President, speaking in Cadle tabernacle Friday night to an audience of 4.000. • Socialism stands for private ownership of private property,” he asserted, “and for public ownership of those things necessary to man’s existence. Under Socialism you would own your own home, your automobile, your radio and your piano, the things you live with.” “But we believe in public ownership of public utilities, railroads, mines. If the Socialist party should get into power it would take over those and related industries and run them for the service of the people, and would meet this emergency as the government met the emergency of the last war by taking over the railroads.”

High Tariff Assailed Maurer rapped the present high tariff. “Every since I knew anything,” he said, “the old parties have been fighting over the tariff, and it seems about as far from solution now as w'hen I came on the scene. “President Hoover recounted the benefits of the tariff to the farmer in his recent low'a address. Several years ago the farmer was getting three times as much for his wheat under much lower tariff rates. If they raised the tariff still further, as some political leaders sugest, I suppose according to that the farmer wouldn't get anything for his wheat.” After Depression. What? He asserted he was addressing crowds this year several times as large as those he met on a tour four years ago. “The farmers and small business men and white-cmollar workers would not listen to us then,” he said. They had the idea that we wanted to divide up. But they are listening now.” Maurer predicted there probably would be approximately 6,000,000 unemployed in the United States after the depresison has passed. He described numerous instances of machines attended by one man doing work formerly done by scores and hundreds. “Keep the machine,” he said, “but make it serve all of us, and not simply pile up profits for a few.” Unemployment Held Issue Maurer was introduced by Forrest Wallace of Veedersburg, Socialist candidate for United States senator, following a short talk by Ed Henry, state secretary of the party. Mary D. Hapgood, candidate for state representative and wife of Powers Hapgood, candidate for Governor, stated that the one issue of the campaign is unemployment. “There is no overproduction,” she declared, “the trouble is underconsumption. The workers can not buy back what they produce. Workers produce $70.00,000,000 worth of products annually and receive in wages only $11,000,000,000.”

HOREHOUND IS REMEDY FOR ARABIAN FEVERS Standby Cough Remedy Pu,t to Good Use in Asia. B.’j Science Service JERUSALEM, Oct. 8. Horehound, standby cough remedy in occidental lands, is used in treatment of fever by the Arabs of Palestine. Dr. Ephraim Ha-Reubeni of the Hebrew university in Jerusalem learned this in the course of his study of the medicinal plant-lore of the Arabs. Like many other ’-eoples, Arabs consider bitter herbs to be good for fevers, and they make horehound into a kind of tea for this purpose. The regular Arabic name for horehound, Dr. Ha-Reubeni states, is Kreiha, but the Arabs also call it by other compound names that include the word Kelb, which means a dog. This, however, has nothing to do with the “hound” part of the English name; for that originally was the Saxon w'ord Hune, meaning a kind of plant. Horehound in its English derivation is nothing more than “a hoary plant”—its leaves are quite hairy, giving it a frosty w'hite appearance.

Symphony Includes Many High School Musicians

Younger Members of City Orchestra See Organization as Ultimate Goal. Many of the members of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra and its supporters who are conducting a campaign for subscribers, during their high school days, were players in the small orchestras. Lowell Love left Shortridge in 1924, played his French horn in the Indiana university band, and later particirated in musical activities at the University of Michigan. Lorinda Cottipgham Howell and Thelma Fulkerson Helkema, violinists, were members of trio groups at Shortridge. Thomas Poggianni, a symphony player, who also directs the orchestra at the Kirshbaum Community center, was graduated from Shortridge in 1924. Mary Ann Kullmer still is in Technical high school; graduates from there include: Douglas Ewing, ‘3l; Robert Lawrence, ’3l, oboe players, and Marguerite Billo, ‘23, violinist. Carl Johnson is taking post-grad-uate work at Manual training high school, and plays violin in both the school and symphony orchestras.

Fred Lutz played the viola in the Cathedral high school band and orchestra. Ferdinand Schafer, director, states that many of the ablest of the younger musicians look on the symphony as their ultimate goal in music after leaving school. Comparing the teeth of modern college students and primitive Indians, two University of California professors found in the students a tendency toward increase in the overbite of the upper front teeth; in other words, the human race is apparently becoming more “ *atty” in profile. •
