INDIANAPOLIS (U P I) - Women often have been told that when they are down in the dumps, the best way to reverse the mood is to go buy a new hat. Whether this is something they found out for themselves or reacted to a bit of propa. ganda from the millinery industry is not known. Nevertheless, some women find the hat-buying caper gives them a lift only until their husbands find out about it. One way to avoid the threat of a tense showdown with hubby over a new chapeau is to find a suitable substitute method of banishing the blues. Right now, that substitute might be entering open competition at the Indiana State Fair Aug. 23-Sept. 2. Hoosier ladies since the earliest settler days have taken pride in their talents in many fields of endeavor—culinary, sewing, horticultural, arts and crafts of various kinds. Only 2,500 Enter Last week, the state fair board expressed regret that with all the thousands of oppor-

tunities for Hoosiers to compete against each other in open competition at the annual fair, only about 2,500 exhibits are submitted. There surely must be hundreds of thousands of women, not only farm wives but city dwellers as well, who are known among their friends in church or club groups for their ability at making brownies, or baking German chocolate cakes, or growing geraniums, or making quilts or dresses, or photography, or collecting glass and china items like elephants or pitchers. No matter what the hobby line is, there’s almost certain to be an entry category into which it will fit at the fair. One building at the fairgrounds is the Women’s Building. Few ladies who visit the fair fail to take a stroll through that building to see the wealth of exhibits. There are competition categories for paintings, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, hand weaving, leather work, dolls, needlepoint, quilts, preserves, iellies, marmalades, pickles, relishes,

candy, fruit cakes, bread, cookies, pies, cut flowers, potted plants, centerpiece arrangement, vegetable and fruit growing. 7 Books of Premiums The list of contests seems almost endless and fills seven premium books. Name your interest and there is likely to be a place for it at the fair. Although the fair buildings usually look stacked to the rafters with entries, nobody is ever turned down for lack of space. Premiums for winners include cash and ribbons. So, instead of laying out the cash for a hat, the Hoosier woman might rake in a little pin money. But she is more likely to get a lift from the prestige of being “the best” in Indiana at whatever she’s adept. “You’ll never know how good you are unless you enter the competition,” said Mrs. Barbara J. Stillwell, a fair board member from Frankfort. Small girl kidnaped, is hostage MARYSVILLE, Calif. (UPI)A two-year-old girl was abduct, ed at gunpoint from her mother's arms Monday by a man who said he would use the child as a hostage to aid his escape from the United States. Sheriff Gary Miller said a search was on for Thomas F. Scofield, a 22-year.old AWOL Marine. Miller said Scofield, with his 20-year-old wife, Loretta, kidnaped little Vicki Lynn West after telling her mother, Ellen Murle West, “We need the baby for safe conduct out of the country.” The sheriff said Mrs. West knew Scofield and identified him as the kidnaper. Mrs. West said Scofield told her that he killed a man in San Francisco. But San Francisco police said they had no report of such a killing.

Indiana Gas Co. offers new range

Two cents worth of gas and three seconds to set the automatic control is all it takes to “heat-clean” the oven on a new gas range now being offered by Indiana Gas Company. Cleaning is done automatically over a period of 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, freeing the homemaker from one of the most hated of all housekeeping chores. If desired, the cleaning can be done at night while she sleeps. Heated air, within a double wall surrounding the oven, does the cleaning. The air is heated to 850 degrees by the same gas burner that provides heat for baking and broiling. The heated air heats the oven walls and reduces all soil to fine, powdery ash that can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Sides and top and bottom of the oven are all cleaned in this manner. A self-locking door safety device automatically locks the oven door when the temperature inside the oven reaches 550 degrees. No outside venting is required; any smoke or odor generated from the cleaning process is absorbed by a catalytic device called a “Clean/Screen”. Special insulation confines heat within the oven so that the kitchen temperature rises no more than it would while baking a cake.

Wall street chatter

NEW YORK (UPI) — The Alexander Hamilton Institute says most speculative price issues now being corrected will provide a more solid base for the next advance. The adviser says any further weakness that develops will be only temporary, adding that a number of key business indicators show evidence of underlying economic strengh.

Tessel, Paturick & Ostrau says the minor correction of the past three weeks apparently has just about run its course, adding that a few glamor favorites have displayed a “firming tendency.” The company says probabilities favor a partial recovery on the immediate near term and therefore recommends purchases of issues which have shown better than average relative strength.

The length of the cleaning cycle, which can be determined and clock-set by the owner, runs from one and half hours for light soil to two and a half hours for an extremely dirty oven. The oven shuts itself off, automatically, at the end of the cleaning time. Homemakers who would like to free themselves of onerous oven-cleaning are invited to stop in at the local gas company office and see this new range with its self-cleaning oven. The range is a product of the Geo. D. Roper Co., 93-old range manufacturer. News briefs

(UPI) — The $6 million crop of this “artichoke capital of the world” is being rapidly devoured by an army of field mice, according to farmers in the area.

Farmers and agriculture officials are sponsoring “kill a mouse” day next Saturday and are importing fine oats, which they will spike with poison and set out to tempt the mice to

their doom.

Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis says that with the market approaching a period when the odds favor a seasonal rise, the outlook is for somewhat further improvement over the next few weeks Later on, however, the company adds, qpside progress may become more difficult and stocks could encounter a period of fluctuation lacking in significant

progress.

Efforts to flood the fields have failed. The mice run up the stalks of the leafy plants and munck on artichokes until the water recedes.

WASHINGTON (UPI) - The same kind of welfare vs. agriculture struggle that threatens the omnibus farm bill in the House appeared likely Tuesday to arise in the Senate. One of the big hurdles facing the legislation in the House is the hostility of liberal Democrats, angered when the Agri. culture Committee rejected their request to remove the authorization ceiling on the food stamp program. The committee’s action in approving an additional $100 million for the school lunch program apparently did not soothe the food stamp bloc. The school lunch bill was reported last week to the Senate where, by tradition, it has been referred to the Agriculture Committee. Chairman Allen J. Ellender, D-La., was one of the main authors of the law about 20 years ago. A Jurisdictional Dispute But this time Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D-Wis., asked that the bill be held. He made no for. mal explanation, but in private conversations later he pointed out that Senate rules specify the Labor and Public Welfare Committee—on which he serves — has jurisdiction over school lunch. Ellender was not expected to surrender jurisdiction willingly over the program he was instrumental in establishing. It was reported he promised early hearings on the bill, but that pledge did not satisfy Nelson, who has been presiding hearings on hunger and poverty. More and Less NEW YORK 'UPI> — The American public — paradoxically — is drinking more and drinking less. With the introduction of 80 proof liquors, people are drinking more, but the drinks are less potent, according to Victor A. Fischel, president of the Wolfschmidt vodka distilleries. Proof indicates the volume of alcohol. ‘ Most people prefer 80 proof or the lighter blends,’’ Fischel says.

He noted that an agriculture subcommittee held hearings last' February on legislation to au-.. thorize national strategic re-' serves, but did not meet to consider the measure until June 27. No quorum could be as--sembled then, and the bill still. is in virtual limbo. Nelson is expected to insist,at the least, on a promise that the school lunch bill will be sent to the Senate floor by mid-July. Bruises Will Show If the Senate is called on to decide the jurisdictional dispute, according to some nervous champions of the farm bill, welfare • minded senators likel/ would support Nelson. And they expect that no matter who wins, the bruises suffered in the fight will show when debate begins on the omnibus farm bill. Farm belt spokesmen are pressing for some extension this year of government programs for the major crops, which expire Dec. 31, 1969. Ellender ex- - pects his committee to approve a four-year extension, to 1973, and considers chances are good that the Senate will pass such a bill. The House bill provides for a one-year extension. Agriculture Committee Chairman W. R. Poage, D-Tex., Is expected to submit the measure for a vote this week, possibly on Wednesday. He has been assured It will be brought up ahead of the food stamp bill—a dubious advantage in the opinion of some.

The book opens with the dramatic account of Moses receiving the divine laws on tablets of stone ^The story continues with the difficulties which Moses had with the people as he attempted to lead then to follow the divine laws. Each commandment is discussed separately, to better classify its meaning in Old Testament terms. The author bridges the gap between the Old and New Testament with the words of the Prophets concerning the coming of Christ. The Commandments are repeated and dramatized in Christ’s words, with stress laid on the commandment “That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”
