QUIN 1S UPSET BY FAIRY TALE

Mother Hubbard’s Hungry Dog Sends Emilie to Bed in Tears.

By United Press CALLANDER, Ont. Aug. 5.—Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe said today reading of nursery rhymes to the Dionne quintuplets probably would be confined for a few days to the more “cheerful” ones. His decision results, he said, from the tearful intervention of Emilie in the tale of Old Mother Hubbard and her bare cupboard. The quins were read the story by

one of their nurses Monday night, and all except Emilie heard of Mother Hubbard's dog quite calmly. Emilie, however, was overcome by the tragedy of the hungry dog and went to bed, and eventually to sleep, with her face tear-streaked. Yesterday morning at breakfast the quins were served bacon. ilie left the table and soon .returned carrying the nursery book opened at the picture of Mother Hubbard and her dog. She took a piece of bacon, placed it directly under the dog’s nose and then, all smiles, po ished her meal. When Dr. Dafoe arrived at [the nursery Emilie showed him the ba-con-smeared picture of the dog, and assured him, he says, in her own way that everything was all right as the dog had enjoyed his meal.

By United Press * LOS ANGELES, Aug, 5. — _ Mary Astor and her former husband, Dr. Franklyn Thorpe, resisted today all efforts to end their fight over the custody of their 4-year-old daughter, Marilyn, indicating that it had to go on, no matter the result.

Mary Astor and Playwright George S. Kaufman, merely had a harmless flirtation, Mrs. Kaufman told the Daily Express today, in London. “I knew all about this case before it caught the limelight,” she said in an interview. “Is is unusual for a husband to flirt with an actress?”

to raise welfare budgets. The state is to contribute its share from the general fund.

Under the new act, the county’s.

share of the social security program amounts to about 20 per cent, with the state and Federal governments bearing about 30 and 50 per cent of the costs, respectively. The budget totals nf the 92 coun-

ties is $158,052.55 less than the expenditure which Gov. McNutt, in his message to the special session of the state Legislature last March, estimated would be required. At that

{ time the Governor said the counties’

share of public weifare costs would total approximately $3,120,000.

Administration Cost 5 Per Cent

Actual - operation of the newly created Public Welfare Department will require approximately $802,816.20 or slightly more than 5 per cent of ‘the total amount of money to be spent in the state during 1937. Welfare Director Joel Baker of Marion County is to receive an annual salary of $4000 under the social security act. Salaries of the directors range upward from $900 for counties with 15,000 population or less to $4000 for counties with over 197,000 population.

Knox Aid Prepares for G. O.P. Rally at Connersville Saturday

Public Address System to Carry Voices of Speakers Over Wide Area; Special Train Arranged.

A public address system to carry the voices of Republican speakers over an area of several acres Saturday was being installed among the trees of Roberts Park in Connersville today. R. C. Mulnix, Denver, advance representative for Col. Frank Knox, arrived in Indiana today to supervise installation of the sound system, which is to be the standard setup for all national Republican meetings

until election, he said.

“There is to be only one microphone instead of half a dozen that usually clutter up the speakers’ platform,” he said. “Our present system feeder lines to all radio network stations and one especially for news correspondents and ‘sound newsreel cameramen.” He said the National Republican Committee sent him here to establish a guide system to be followed) at future meetings. Col. Knox's speech at Connersville Saturday night is to be the official opening of the viee grresidepiial nominee’s cam

Springer to Be Honored —

The meeting is to be in honor of Raymond S. Springer, G. O. P. nominee for Governor, who is to make his official acceptance speech as a climax of the meeting. At a meeting of Hoosier Republicans, Inc. at the Columbia Club vesterday, Mr. Springer pledged himself to work for repeal of the gross income tax law and to “take graft and greed out of the liquor business.” Mr. Springer advocated return of control of the liquor business to local communities and asserted that abolition of the township form of local government was a step toward dictatorship in Indiana. The state government reorganization act should be repealed, the Republican nominee said, because it places dictatorial power in the hands of the Governor.

DROUGHT AGAIN STATE PROBLEM

Relief Burden Increase Is Feared Due to Heavy Corn Losses.

(Continued from Page One)

or silage to suplement browned pastures, which indicates that the feed problem will be serious next winter. Possibilities of farmers in some counties having to seek relief because of crop failures this summer, were reported by county agents. In southwestern Indiana, Warrick County reported prospects for no more than a 35 per cent corn crop, and a 50 per cent soy bean crop, even with rain soon. Gibson County reported a 50 per cent corn crop prospect and a melon crop failure; Vandenburg reported prospects for a 70 per cent corn crop and about a 50 per cent tomato crop, even if

sufficient rains follow during the growing season. Posey County reported half a corn crop, a short melon crop. Crawford County reported a 50 to 60 per cent corn crop on bottom lands, 25 per cent on ridge land. Orange County reported heavy rains have revived corn and soy bean crops, with prospects of only 10- to 15 per cent losses in each.

Good News in Brown County

Rains in Knox, Monroe and Lawrence Counties have helped but corn yield has been reduced and Marion county corn already is beginning to “fire” again. Vigo County reported possibility of a 70 per cent loss to its large truck farming industry, an almost total loss of sweet corn, and a field corn crop of about 70 per cent normal. In Southeastern Indiana, Brown County, one of the few in the state heaving good rains, reported corn making a good comeback, and many late gardens being planted. Recent rains in Washington and Scott Counties have set crops to thriving. Floyd and Clark Counties report almost complete failure of the corn crop, and in Charlestown water
