Seventh Federal Reserve District, a report released today showed. At the same time a new Indianapolis industry reported production scheduled for Feb. 15 and the Indiana State Employment Service predicted employment gains during Feb and March in the State’s iron and steel industries.
‘Store Sales Climb ;
The Federal Reserve report showed Indianapolis department stores business for last month up 7.1 per cent over December, 1937, as compared with minus .1 per cent in Chicago, plus .4 in Detroit, minus 3.3 in Ft. Wayne, minus .6 in Milwaukee and plus 2.9 in Peoria. The $250,000 job of getting into operation the Standard Cereals, Inc., factory at 1857 Gent St., will be completed soon, Solomon Lipman,
manager, said. Seventy-five Indianapolis men will
Mr. Lipman said, and eventually he expects 200 will be on the payroll processing corn bought from Indiana farmers. The Indiana State Employment Service estimated today on the basis of five-year statistics, that employment in the State’s iron and steel industries will rise 1.7 per cent next month over January, and 1.2 per cent in March over February. Employment in the production of agricultural machinery, the Service predicted, will increase 1.9 per cent next month, 2.9 per cent more in March.
* 10,000-Bushel Capacity
Mr. Lipman said Standard Cereals Inc. is expected to reach a daily capacity of 10,000 bushels of corn a day, all to be purchased from, Products will be

New machinery will cost $150,000 and $95,000 will have been spent rehabilitating the old American Hominy Co. plant by the time production starts, he said. The State Employment Service said that on the basis of past performances, employment in 41 reporting manufacturing and nonmanufacturing establishments in the State should increase from 2 to 14.1 per cent in February and from 2 to 31.4 per cent in March. Street and road construction should jump 22.5 per cent in employment in March, the Service estimated, and employment in southern Indiana quarries should be up

Asks Further Changes
He further asked that examination questions be graded according to topics and when a student fails in one subject he need not take the complete examination again. Papers should be graded and returned to the student, Dean Wood said. Before his- testimony, several young lawyers stated that they had not only been refused their papers but: sometimes had not been told their grades. They were informed by letter, they said, whether or not they had passed. Dean Wood asked that the examiuations be graded on a scientific basis wherein the applicant’s ability to analysis, detect and discuss points of law would be taken into consideration along with their conclusions. “Law is not an exact science,” he said. “Questions can’t be answered yes and no. A .student shouldn’t fail on a wrong conclusion when he has shown ability to analyze the points of law.” A May or June examination in place of the July examination also was sugegsted by the Dean. “Graduates now leave school in June, then

Dean Wood Asks Bar Exam Changes as Hearing Opens
Less “severe” methods of grading bar examination papers and return of bar admissions to the direct jurisdiction of the Supreme Court were urged today by Dean Joseph G. Wood of the Indiana Law School at the initial hearing of the Supreme Court’s special investigating committee.
The committee was named by the
September to receive their grades,” he said. He further urged an advisory committee of the four deans of approved Indiana law schools to act only in an advisory capacity, but to have the right to review all papers of students who failed the examination. A fifth person from outside these schools was recommended by Dean Wood for a place on‘ , the board. He asked that the advisory committee be given the power.to consider a student’s scholastic record in addition to examination grade in determining their eligibility for the bar. The committee should have the right, he said, to review all cases of students who have failed since 1931, when the Board became active.
40 ACRES OFFERED FOR GOLF COURSE
The A. Edward Mantel Co. today offered the Park Board 40 acres connecting with the Sarah Shank Municipal Golf Course in the north-
west corner of Troy and Perkins Sts., to extend the course t0.18 holes.
The price asked was $11,250.
The Board now holds an option to buy from -William Zobbe 37 acres adjoining the course, at a reported price of $13,000. Jackiel W. Joseph, Board president, said a decision would be reached next week. The Board asked the Works Board for title to land front on West St. and bounded by the City asphalt plant and the Belt Railroad to convert into. a playground.

He was rationing the food and had organized the survivors into various brigades, one to gather and bury the dead, another to salvage anything worth while, another to clean up debris, The city, of course, was entirely without electric lights. The quake had wrecked the waterworks and water was very scarce. I asked at the white house on the plaza for water. With elaborate apologies, I was given a glass of milk. I came here in a bombing plane of the Chilean army and I wore the regulation flier’s helmet, lent me by my host. This attracted attention to me as I wandered about, and survivors, assuming that I was returning soon to Santiago, pressed messages upon me to carry to relatives there. I accepted more than 500 of these for delivery. They wete crudely scrawled on bits of paper, and, being vocal, wers more eloquently pathetic than the corpses. * A faw read: “Remigio, his mother and

About six city| blocks in all appeared to have been destroyed, but the historic cathedral and the buildings of the ancient university, which gives} Concepcion its name of “the Athens of Chile,” seemed intact. We dropped a message, enclosed in cloth and weighted with two heavy bolts, into the middle of the Plaza, Armas, which read: “Intendente: Government sent a train of medical supplies which with the Minister of the Interior left Santiago this morning—Capt. Byers.” We returned to Chillan. The air field was ruined and we landed in the pasture of Senor Valenzuela, who, in answer to our questions, said sadly that “thousands were dead.” He brought up his old car to take us to the city, five miles away. We drove along a road in which there were cracks eight inches wide. The farmhouses along the way were in heaps. At the city’s edge, we abandoned the car because the roads were choked.
