than health, and could be expected to as long as it existed. The meeting was under direction of Lawrence Sheridan , Planning Board consultant. L. F. Moorman, Planning Board project ‘director; Thomas McConnell of the Federal Housing Administration; Joseph Scherer, State Fire Marshal's chief inspector, and other representatives of governmental units also spoke. Mr. Watson, who shrowed the assehblage cardboard models of two proposed plans for the housing, explained that, in general, slum land is near business zones.

House Termed Sanitary

“In general,” he said, “the owners are holding the land as a speculation and therefore they value it highly—for what they hope some day it will bring. “Land not near. business areas, but containing bad housing, usually is valued at low figures, but is burdened heavily with tax deliquencies. “We must, therefore, make some adjustment on the land value. Call it subsidization, if you will. It is not cash subsidization, and the unit cost will be amortized in 14 years. “We at Purdue do not believe this house we have designed is a decent standard of living. But it is sanitary, which the slums are not; it is healthful, which the slums are not: it is weatherproof, which the slums are not. “It is a means to what might become an evolution of housing that we all hope will come to solve the entire problem.

Would Have Three Rooms

The single unit he has designed would contain three rooms. England, he said, has a law that no dwelling shall be built that does not have three private sleeping rooms. It is a factor, he said, in social hygiene. One bedroom would be eight feet by eight feet. Another eight feet by 12 feet. The kitchen, dining room, living room, would be 12 feet by 16 feet. It would contain a sanitary toilet and a water tap. Each unit of the double would contain two eight-by-eight sleeping rooms and the main room, a toilet and tap for each family. He told the meeting that building costs. All health officials there agreed that such structures would take adequate care of the health factor.

Further Studies Planned

Mr. Watson told Planning Board members that he would make a complete report when further studies have been completed. Others present atthe seminar discussion included G. Stanley Meikle, director, Purdue Research Foundation; Prof. George Lommel, of the Purdue Civil Engineering School, member of the State Planning Board and the Lafayette Planning Board; F. G.

Landon’s First Nurse Awaits His The Washington Merry-Go-Round

. BY DREW PEARSON AND ROBERT S. ALLEN MIDDLESEX, Pa., Aug. 19.—Get out your route map of Pennsylvania. Unfold it until the western part of the state is before you. About 65 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, and a few miles east of the Ohio state line, you will find West Middlesex, a small town made famous by this year's Republican convention. It was in West Middlesex that Gov. Landon was born, Sept. 9, 1887, and it is here that he will open his presidential campaign with an address Saturday. West Middlesex, population 1181, is a sleepy little borough located in the heart of a prosperous farming community. It has a dozen or so stores, numerous gas stations, one restaurant and saloon combined, a national bank, no hotel, and it does not support a newspaper. But the patrons of the three barber shops make up for that deficiency, ’

» » o T the entrance of the borough, on Route 18, there is a sign—“This is the birthplace of Af Landon.” We stopped at the first gas station: “Shall I fill her up?” “Five gallons is enough.” “You're strangers in town?” “Yes.” “Did you know this was the birthplace of Gov. Alf Landon? Yes, sir, this is the birthplace of the next President of the United States. He was born over in

DISAPPEARING BODY HAUNTS’ DEPUTIES

Believe Figure Intended to Lure Holdup Victims.

Throughout last night deputy sheriffs patrolled Cold Springs-rd near State Road 29 in search of a man or woman lying wounded at the side of the highway. First report came from John Knepp, Henderson, Ky. who said he saw a man with a knife protruding from his chest. Deputies found no one.

Later, John Donnell, 3715 N. Meridian-st, said he saw a young woman lying at approximately the same place with a knife in her chest. Other motorists telephoned sheriff's office ° concerning “phantom” man or woman. The deputies finally concluded that the figures lying by the roadside were plants for a holdup, intended to lure motorists to the side of the highway.

Bailiffs’ Mumbled Oaths in Court Baffling to ‘I Do-ers’

‘Whole Truth, Nothing but ‘Umph Zink

Oath-taking at the

the Truth,” Drones Out as Dee Diump.’

BY TOM OCHILTREE Courthouse has become such a formal procedure

that some observers claim they have listened for years, but have been unable to understand what the bailiff says:

Usually it sounds something like this:

now in hearing zump so gunk.”

Court officials not only mumble the words, but they have developed amazing speed of pronunciation. Usually this puzzles witnesses, who feel they should hear something more before answering, “I do.”

People who have been involved in numerous litigations know better. They seldom answer at all. No matter how fast the oath is administered, the phrase ‘cause now in hearing” can always be heard distinctly. Clerks and bailiffs say there probably - is some phonetic reason for this, but they don’t know what it is.

The actual wording of the oath is: “Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give in the cause of action now in hearing to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?” ’ On an average day, it is estimated that oaths are administered to approximately 300 people at the Courthouse. Witnesses in all courts take oaths, as do persons seeking will probation and marraige licenses. Some are defendants taking the witness stand in their own behalf, others are seeking to gain or hold fortunes in civil hearings. Bailiffs claim it is impossible to tell a perjurer by the way he takes the oath. The expression on the faces of most witnesses is one of confusion. Historians say it was different in medieval England. People then feared they might be struck down by lightning if they took a false oath. That is the explanation<for the upheld right hand. It was supposed to have made the witness an easier target if he did tell a falsehood. Although the wording of this common law oath has become garbled in recent years, court officers watch closely to see that witnesses raise their right hands.

GOV. LANDON LEAVES FOR EAST TOMORROW

By United Press . ESTES PARK, Colo., Aug 19—Gov Alf M. Landon leaves tomorrow on perhaps the most important speaking tour of his campaign for the presidency—a cross-country dash into Pennsylvania and New York. Careful planning emphasized the significance of the journey in the eyes of the Governor's advisers. A trip into the Midwestern farm states will follow. The farm state swing will avoid

“Tunney Gives Signal

Just before Joe entered the ring I caught the eye of that masterful champion, Gene Tunney. This was by arrangement previously made. “I'll wink at you if Louis is nervous,” said Gene. “If he is right, I'll nod my head.” Gene nodded his head. He was right.. Joe was right.

and I was tremendously aided by Ted Husing. Right now, I want a word with you about that mythical but mighty Kid Psychology. Fighters, after all, are just men. Queer men. Queer in that they indulge strange fantasies, weird superstitions. This“has the effect of opening the door to the destructive driver from the unknown. The door of Joe Louis was wide open. He had been stopped in his last start. Stopped dead in his tracks by another “old man,” Max Schmeling. No longer was he the mighty bomber before whom champions of old fell in a phalanx of victory vanished. Last night he was the unknown quantity. What whisperings of his ancestors would guide him? What impulses would face the caginess of the veteran and combat the charge of the former world’s champion? It was the big “if” contest for both men, but more for Louis than for Sharkey. And here is what happened. Timed to the precision of a machine, prompted by a determination immeasurable, Jpe Louis rode Pegasus over the heights of Olympus and gave a thrill and chill to the best of our heavyweight crop. In

ring. He will increase in power. Lurking on every hand he saw tonight Kid Psychology, and every time he saw him, from every angle, he socked him flush on the chin. He beat a tougher thing than Sharkey, and Sharkey was plenty tcugh.

When he entered the ring he appeared more human than ever before. I mean by that that he reacted to his surroundings. He knew that he was the cynosure of all eyes and he valued that fact. Once his youthful face actually broke into a fleeting smile. That gave me my first hunch. The first hunch I had that Gene Tunney had appraised accurately. When Louis dropped Jack, which he did four times, he was rhythm combined with cold calculation. Every single second, Joe Louis knew just what he was doing, and just what he was going to do in the next second. He took punches. There were several moments when Kid Psychology loomed above him with right fist poised, but there was no blow. Joe had himself in hand. He had Sharkey in hand. He had the situation in hand. And therein lies

his greatest triumph in that brilliantly lighted ring. It was not all his own on the proverbial silver platter. It was anything but that.
