Dr. and Mrs. VV. M. McGaughey and Mr. and Mrs. Simpson Stoner returned home Saturday night from a three week's trip to interesting points in the western states. Among places they visited were Yellowstone National park, the Black
reviewing
achievements said in part: Downs had always clung to the theory that an average man who does the things necessary has a chance to win promotion to the biggest jobs, even in the largest corpor
at ions.
He attributed his rise f om a rodman at $60 a month to the presidency of the Illinois Central Railroad to a principle he adopted early in life. It was "do your job the best you ran and always have your eye on the position just ahead." Constantly guided by that rule. Mr. Downs' promotions in the railroad business were steady. •After his preliminary education his father and older brothers financed his four years at Purdue University, whe e Lawrence was graduated in engineering, the only r,ne of his family to receive college education. During his summer vacations ne worked with his father, who was a section gang foreman, and upon concluding his education turned io railroading as a means of livelihood. The Vandalia road in Indiana, now a part of the Pennsylvania system, engaged the young engineer to carry rods in a surveying gang. He remained for 18 months until the Illinois Central offered him a similar job at an increase of $20 a month. At the age of 26. Mr. Downs was appointed roadmaster of the Amboy district at LaSalle, 111., and In turn served in the same capacity in the Kentucky, Louisiana, Springfield and Chicago divisions. After having climbed to the position of assistant chief engineer, he requested a change to the operating department in order that he might broaden his
railroad experience.
H<» was appointed superintendent of the Iowa division and from that time his advancement in the operating and executive departments was steady until 1926. when he was chosen president of the system. In 1901. Mr. Downs married Miss Ida May Mulligan of Pembroke, Ontario. They had one daughter. Downs was a past president of the American RailwW fcnglneerb.g Association and a director of the Hailway Express Agency, Inc., and the Continental Illinois National Bank ami Trust Company. He was a Krnml trustee of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and a distinguished Cath-
olic layman.
He is survived by the daughter, Mrs. John F. Oakley of New Orleans, and three brothers, T A of Princeton, Ky.; J. L. of Champaign, I I., and J. E. of Terre Haute, Ind. Funeral services were held at 10 o'clock today in Chicago's

Hoover, who arrived to confer with Wendell Willkio, the Republican presidential nominee, said that he referred to Norway, Hollan 1, Belgium and France where food shortages already were rapidly de-
veloping.
"The situation Is obvious," the former president said in a lengthy prepared statement. "These nations are being ground between the millstones of the food blockade, Great Britain and Germany have against each other. "They are blockaded by Germany from continental supplies and Great Britain from overseas sup-
plies."
In an obvious reference to President Roosevelt’s request that John Cudahy, American Ambassador to Belgium, return to the United States for consultation, Hoover said: It is impossible to understand j what the administration in Washington means by statements that they do no have any facts or why they recall an ambassador because he states a fact." Cudahy was reprimanded by the state department Friday for his report in London on Belgium food con-
ditions.

ROME, Aug. 12 (UP)—An official communique said today that Italian forces in British Somaliland j had established contact with heavy British concentrations, and it was 1 believed here that an important ] battle was being fought. LONDON, Aug. 12 (U P)—Antiaircraft guns drove successive waves of bombers from the northeast coast today as the German air force, steadily intensifying its attacks on the British Isles, extended its operations to northern I ('land British Spitfire fighters shot down one Junkers-87 off the northeast coast, to start the day’s bag after hours of savage fighting yesterday in which, it was asserted, the Germans lost 60 to 400 attacking planes, against 26 British planes. It was indicated that the antiaircraft gun fire which drove the Germans back from the northeast coast to start today's fight was unusually heavy. German planes penetrated the coastal defense to drop incendiary bombs at the start or the fight, and they started several fires which were put out quickly. But gunfire became so heavy that the Germans made off and following waves were unable to get through. Some planes, it was reported, dropped their bomb loads into the sea apparently to get away from pursuing Spitfires. At least one German plane flew over northern Ireland during the early morning hours and several were reported along the coast. In southwest England bombs fell : t the entrance to a playground air raid shelter, wounding two of the seven occupants. Yesterday's bag brought the total of German planes destroyed within four days of intensified attacks to 171, and the number shot down since mass raids were started June 18 to 387, according to official figures. The air ministry estimated that some 400 German airplanes engaged in yesterdays big attacks, centering at Portland naval base, Dover and a convoy off the east coast.
