ELECTRIC EYES T0 SCAN STATE AUTO TRAFFIC
New Counters Employed by Commission to Gauge Travel.
A record of the number of automobiles that travel on Indiana highways every 24 hours will be compiled by the State Highway Commission with the use of new automatic counters. Eighteen of these counters have been placed on highways and more may be installed, officials said. The traffic movement past these counters is registered by interruption of a beam of light which crosses the pavement. The number of cars passing is registered on a tape, which can be read at any interval. Data from the counters. will be used to compare wearing qualities of road building materials and determine if cheaper pavements stand up under traffic as well as more expensive roads and to determine at what points the volume of traffic is heavy enough to warrant construction of three and four-lane highways. Officials said many roads that heretofore have been considered light traffic highways may be found carrying more traffic than some of the
main roads.

FLAYS STATE RELIEF AS ‘OVER-OFFICERED’
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Oct. 27 (U. P.).—Clearence E. Benadum of Muncie, a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, last night said the state relief system is “over-officered by job-seeking poli - ticians and by friends of relatives of those in high places.” “The white-collared relief officers in some localities almost outnumber those poor people who seek public assistance,” he said he had learned on good authority.
LEGION POST SEEKS T0 KEEP ITS RECORD

CHIPPEWAS ‘ROLL ~ OUT THE BARREL’
ODANAH, Wis., Oct. 27 (U. P.).— Chippewa Indians of the Bad River reservation are “rolling out the barrel” and ignoring war dances and POWWOW music. Five Chippewas have organized a German band and play at many .dances in this area. Their biggest thrill was playing for Crown Prince Olav of Norway at Superior, Wis.

Bomb Leaves Not 1 Barbecue
MIDDLEFIELD, O., Oct. 27 (U. P.). —Eight dollars worth of pig is missing from a field near here— and only a gaping hole in the ground shows that the experiment of two bomb inventors was a success. Gust Gassner, a 61-year-old diemaker, and his partner, Albert Fox, 52, made a new type of land bomb without wires or a time mechanism. “We had to try the bomb out on sémething,” Glassner said. “In theory it would explode if anyone stepped on a pressure-plate mechanism. We buried the bomb in the ground, bought a pig for $8, and built a pen around the bomb. 7s “Then we tossed the pig in the pen and ran for cover to see whether the mechanism would work.” It did. “There wasn't a didn of the pig anywhere,” Gassner said.
SCHOOLS HELP IN FIGHT ON SLUMS
Good Housing Essential for Children, Says Floyd McMurray.
Money spent for public education is being undermined by substandard housing conditions, Floyd I. McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, declared today. “At present, a certain portion of the taxpayers’ money for public education is spent in an uphill fight, trying: to build up, during a few hours, bodies and minds that unwholesome environment in. substandard housing is undermining most of the day,” he said. “We must get children out of the darkness of hovels and into the sunlight. Slums are breeders of disease. They are breeders of crime and maladjusted existence. teachers as well as ‘doctors know that all groups of children in school —not merely those who come from the slums—are endangered by the spread of disease. “Housing is a subject we cannot and will not ignore in our schools.”
