H>s'\. r Is unchanged in his opposition to anything like a dole, or direct government assistance, and will continue to rely on organized charity. He*is Willing, however, that the arm.vyshould be used <tis a distributing agency, as It Is in the times of flwxj disasters, and to communities where distress Is acute there will be loans of army blankets and supplies. The Red Cross will be. as heretofore, the backbone of the relief organization. Mr. Doak presented to the President a report from the recent survey of conditions throughout the country. Neither of them would make public the estimate of the number of people who «<»:!<! be out of work during tincoming winter. but both admitted that it would be little different from last year. However. It was learned that the President, as head, of the Red Cross, has directed the Red Cross to start a new drive to raise funds and that the machinery has already been set In motion. He also has Issued the necessary instructions to the army to have concentrated at the various bases, most of which are located near the big Industrial centers, all of the surplus property available should they be called upon to use It. BF AN almost unanimous vote In a provincial plebiscite Catalonia ga\e its enthusiastic approval to a constitution which defines the liberties of the people and fixes the status ©f the province as antonomenxs within

the Spanish republic. If this Is not granted by the new government of Spain, the Catalonians seem willing to fight for it under the leadership of that elderly patriot, Col. Francisco Macia. The apparent danger of Catalonia lies in the fact that Macia and his followers have given commitments to the syndicalists who form the huge labor organization and who are already threatening a general strike if their demands, including higher wages for family men. are not granted. Maria promised his friends he would be able to get out <>f (his difficulty when the time was ripe.

The governors set Saturday, August 8. as the date’for the comtnlttee of inquiry into German credit needs to bogiq w :k. The meeting whs delayed until then to await the arrival of Albert Henry Wiggin, the Ammember. It was believed that Mr. \\ ... w h.> i- < >.a >■' the !'“af i of the Chase National bank of New York, w .iild be selected as chairman of the commiitee.

There were indications thal the French xvoldd try to convert the comnntt.-.- into an inquisitorial body. New York bankers delegated to study the same question of German short-term credits Were busy throughout the week with the technical details of the problem, but the prospects of r-'.o liijig an agreement were said to be small. It was believed American bankers would like to s<s‘ measures adopted looking toward the payment of ac- • i t-, butd or, actual commercial transactions, on maturity.

T. A. Edison.

THERE Was universal grief and anxiety when it Was reported that Thomas A. Edison had collapsed at his home in Llewellen Park. Weot. Orange, N. J.', and was at the point of death. Members of the aged inventor’s family were summoned hi haste and his personal physician, Dr. IL S.

Howe,' sped to his bedside by. airplane. Mr. Edison was indeed in a precarious state, but three doctors, after thorough examination, said he was not in Immediate danger of death. He Is eighty-five years old and is suffering from diabetes. bright‘s disease and stomach ulcers.-as well as uremic poisoning, but he declared he was too busy to die qow and that he would soon be able to. resume his work." His determination apparently conquered and and within a few days Doctor Howe acknowledged that the “Wliard - * had a good chance of being able to return to his laboratories. Mr. Edison soon was recovered sufficiently to alt in his library and read the newspapers. and he wanted to smoke, but this was forbidden. He was sleeping well, and his son Charles said his .father was “in good spirits and feeling very chipper.” His health had been failing since his return from

Florida seven weeks ago and the collapse was no surprise- to the physicians or his family. TWO mote reports from the Wickersham commission were made public. One deals with the federal Courts, those of Connecticut, having been studies in especial detail, and the conclusion is reached that prohibition cases dominate “the whole character of the federal criminal proceedings.” Prohibition cases in the Connecticut district Increased from 69 per cent of the total number of cases in the first year of the study, the commission reported, to 81 per cent in the study’s third year which ended June 30. 1930. The total increase in cases had been furnished by prohibition cases, it was explained; other types remained stationary. “Deals.” such as have come into prominence in the Capone case in Chicago, were discovered in large number. the commission says, and “there is evidence of a large uncontrolled discretion, exercised off the record, either by the commissioner or the federal enforcement agencies, by which possible contested cases are eliminated or prosecuted under less serious charges.” The other report deals with the p<»Ilce of the country, and it is asserted that they have forfeited the public confidence because of their “general failure" to perform their duty. This is blamed mainly on political power, pull and protection, the short tenure <>f office of the average police chief and the burdening ojf the police with a multiplicity of duties. Milwaukee was lauded as a city with an enviable record for the prevention and prompt det‘ « :ion of crime, and the reason w is found in the fact that it has had only two chiefs of police in 46 years. « FOUR months after receiving a Canadian note of protest, the State department handed to the Ottawa government a note upholding the contention of the coast guard that it was within its legal rights in shelling the Canadian rum running schooner Josephine K. prior to the seizure of the vessel on January 24 off the New Jersey coast. Capt. William I*. Cluett of Lunehberg, N. S., master of the vessel, was - fatally wounded by a one pound shell tired from one of the guns motmtied on the coast guard cutter 1 The cutter fired when the Josephine K. attempted*to escape. A coast guard cutter pursued the big yacht Allegro off Cape May.-N. J., and captured it 5.5 miles at sea, finding Ic's*' cases of liquor abroad. With the crew of nine men were two women reported to be “society women” out tor a lark.

XJEW YORK is In the throes of an epidemic of infantile paralysis, the total number of cases reported since July 1 being well over eight hundred. The death rate is about 12 per cent. The other day Gov. Fr a n'k 1i n I>. Roosevelt gave one pint of blood to aid in the tight against

He made good his threat to -b. ,j,.-xvn all the “il wells in the state except the sinall strippers if the price of eyudc oil were not put at $1 a barrel. A proclamation to that effect was issued and martial law was declared within fifty feet of each- of the 3,f06 wells within the proration area. National Guardsmen with fixed bayonets were placed in control of the twenty-seven oil fields designated. In bis order the governor defended his actions on the grounds that he is prot«*etlng the natural resources of the state. A considerable portion of the proclamation was given to an attack on the Harry Sinclair interests. The governor charged that Sinclair attempted to bribe forty members of the legislature and to impeach the governor; that Sinclair maintained a large oil lobby during the last session of the legislature and that the Sinclair company has continually attempted to break down proration of production. T V WAS an eventful week in aviation. Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh flew up beyond the Arctic circle with success and precision and -rested at Aklavik before proceeding to Point Barrow. Parker Cramer was found to be making an unannounced flight to Norway by the northern route, the news breaking when he landed at Angmagsalik, Greenland. He was attempting to blaze an air mail route to Copenhagen for the Trans-American Airlines. Herndon and Pangborn reached Tokio on their world circling flight, and planned to try for a nonstop trip from there to Seattle. Just before their arrival In the Japanese capital Amy Johnson, the English ariatrix, also landed there. NOTABLE among the deaths of the week was that of D. R. Anthony, who for years represented the Fitet Missouri district in congress. He was a very active and influential member of the lower house. Mr. Anthony -was a nephew of Susan B. Anthony, the noted suffragist. (& Utt. WMtarn N«wap*p«r Unloa.)

TTN A MJ THE \Y FINDS MILK COSTS FROM 11,000 COWS Showing Difference Between Profit and Loss. Declaring that the dairy herd improvement associations are often responsible for the difference between profit and loss in dairy farming. Ivan McKellip, extension specialist in animal husbandry at the Ohio State university. points out that the associations are making it easy to practice selective breeding, to eliminate low producers, and to feed individual cows according to their production records. Mr. McKellip states that last year the 11,000 Ohio cows in the dairy herd Improvement associations . averaged 7.597 pounds of milk and 322 pounds of They made $136 above feed costs, which amounted to $93, and they produced a product worth $229. 'Tho fend cost for 100 pounds of milk was $1.22 and the feed cost for producing one pound of butterfat was 2S.S cents. The average labor income from the average association cow was approximately S9O and the average labor income peUbour per cow was about 60 cents. According to dairy herd improvement figures, the dairy farmer milking an average herd of cows and getting the average market price for the milk is making only six cents an hour for the time he spends with his herd. Thia is 54, cents less per hour than the herd association member makes. Dairy herd Improvriient associations, McKellip declared, have been operating in the state for the past 16 years The Barnesville association in Belmont county is the oldest. It is no longer an experiment but a decided help in keeping yearly milk, butterfat, feed, and cost records on each cow in the association. Knowing each cow’s production, these men have been able to increase the production of their# cows in eight years from 270 pounds of butterfat to 360 pounds of butterfat. As ordinarily conducted, he stated, a dairy herd improvement association is an organization of between 20 and 50 dairymen who co-operatively employ a man to keep production, feed, and income records of their cows. Boutflours System of Feeding Dairy Cattle Up in Canada, a practice that is attracting attention is the Boutflouis system of feeding dairy cattie. This system calls for a material reduction in the total roughage fee and the elimination of succulent roughage. Under this system the dairy cow is not only fed a grain ration that is 5 or 6 per cent higher in protein than the common 18 per cent protein ration, but it includes a variety of protein rich feed, the theory being that the variety insures higher consumption of feed as well as rapid and ecvm al i gains. Another feature of this system is a 1 g nerous ration fed the dry cow for six weeks prior to freshening. This ! is called the •‘steaming up’’ process. I Special attention is also given to the ' development of the calf and h> t\r, the object being to build a good machine by the use of lots of good roughl age supplemented with the necessary ! grain. . - Many dairymen are very skeptical i of such a system because it is so dis- ; ferent ■ from the common methods. It is pointed out that the breeder has i sought for big roomy cows capable Los handling much feed. Advocates of I th s ne’w systetn point out that even with big cox', s pro!labi’y more bulk am! j fiber lias been fed than they could utilize efficiently. • ■ Grind the Roughage The Maryland experiment station I has conducted quite an extensive test ' on ground roughage. They report that [ cows fed.on ground hay produced 1.31 ■ per cent more milk and 4.84 per cent more butterfat than they did when fed on hay not ground. Cows refused nearly 30 per cent of the unground hay and refused only about 11 per cent of the ground hay. However, considering the cost e^/grinding the hay. the profit was negligible and not sufficient to recommend the practice. On the other hand, of course, there have been some more favorable reports on the grinding of alfalfa. ■ The \ Pennsylvania station reports that the ' nutrients in ground hay are slightly more digestible with the exception of • crude fiber. The Walker-Gordon farms report rather favorably on their plan which is to draw alfalfa green, then to dry it artificially and grind it. immediately. It Is then stored in bags. Cost of Cooling Milk The New York State College of Agriculture kept some figures and where electricity cost four cents per kilowatt hour it cost 11.4 cents per can to cool milk with electricity and 13.7 per can to cool milk with ice. It should be remembered that the cost of cooling with ice is not all cash cost, a considerable proportion of the cost being represented by labor in harvesting and storing the ice. It requires about .8 per cent of a kilowatt hour of current per can of milk cooled. Roughage Question Is wet beet pulp flavored with molasses a better succulent roughage for dairy cows than corn silage? The Ohio station has found that it will produce about 3.4 per cent more butterfat and 5.2 per cent more milk but that this increase is not enough to justify the additional cost of the ration. Where corn or grain sorghum ailage cannot be produced at a reasonable cost per ton. the wet beet pulp-molasses combination may well to considered.

Fashion bid every woman to “be yourself’ when it comes to the hat or hats ot her choice. Recently, however, there has been a very definite turn in the tide of millinery affairs in that for summer, wide brims have come in with a flourish, not that there is a sameness about them (she übiquitous panama the exception) for the large hat as interpreted at the present moment is a creation of imagination and caprice. ~- Some little idea’ of toe versatility of hig-of-brim hat which go to make up the midsummer collections may ue gained from the quartette of smart Faris models shown in the illustration. The hat at the top is of rough blue straw It is trimmed with wide plaid taffeta ribbon. Below, to the left, the hat pictured is one of the summery transparent effects which are so outstanding in millinery modes of the immediate moment.

CURLICUE COIFFURE AGAIN IS POPULAR The stiffly waved, curlicued coiffure of the late nineties, with 1931 additions, is much in evidence in Paris today. Women are wearing their hair in marcels that cling closely to the lines of the head, framing an open brow and just revealing the tips of the ears, the whole thing being finished in rolls or curls at the nape of the neck. A thousand new style devices have been lautu hed. as aids to simplifying an otherwise fairly complicated headgear. Eiabornte new hairpins and combs, intended to be invisible, and sleeping and morning caps, meant 'o hold the hair in place in off-hours, are crowding the I'.-tris shops. The most striking of all tlu? new fashions arc the new diamond haircllps. outgrowths of the small jeweled clips that women are now wearing on their frocks. In place of nrooches. The new clips are long and narrow and are equipped with litttle slides that hold waves in place at the sides of the head. The current fashion is to wear these in sets of four, two at either ot the .temples. Modes of This Summer Kind to Larger Women Fashion this summer is very kind to the woman who takes a size 40. She can wear the smartest fashions of the season, adapted to her particular proportions. The jacket mode Is a welcome, one. .Larger women hesitate to wear sleeveiesv dresses in public places. The jacket costume enables them to wear short sleeves or no sleeves at home and still have the more becoming long or three-quarter sleeves when they go out. For large women the jacket looks besl when it matches the skirt or contrasts in away that Is not Striking. They will not be tempted by white jackets with dark skirts, although if they are not too large in the hips to stand the cut-off effect they can wear dark jackets with light frocks. Boucle Is flattering because it fits splendidly without either being bulky or clinging too much. Shantung is a summer sports fabric wnich also tailors wonderfully for the larger figure. Hats for the woman who requires a large head size. If properly proportioned. may be an excellent complement to the summer costume Panamas, rough straws ahd bakus are made with the simplest of lines but styled correctly to play their part in the summer wardrobe.’

Timely Tips on Fashions for Women

Slip-on gloves are . worn even for evening in Paris. These are wide at the top. Many evening dresses are being made with separate lace jackets or capes. The evening scarf’is useful in adding yet another color to the evening ensemble. A bright orange scarf and a brown lace evening frock seem natural affinities.

It is white, beribboned in velvet in a lovely mosaic blue? The hat with its saucy retrousse tilt at the front is an exceedingly fine hand-sewn black , milan straw, for fashionable’ straws are just like that this season—go to the extremes of being either very rough and loose-woven or very, very fine and smooth. In every. instance they are delightfully " lightweight. Wide, black satin ribbon trims this hat. Note the lacy mesh effect which features the newest crowns for the midsummer hat as shown In the concluding number of this group. The enormous brim is very tine black milan. White roses pose at the side. This touch of white is significant for the chid Parisienne seldom fails to add the “necessary” touch of white to her costume. (©. 1931. "Western Newsnaoer Union. 1

Smart Evening Wear I'l r ’ W ■ T fi 6 ■ w" ’mi I» I H II ' ! Ij -'JH i Midsummer fashion displays leave no doubt in the mind as to the 3tyle prestige accorded cotton fabrics of every type. Paris designers are especially enthusiastic tn regard to the very new and attractive cotton mesh weaves. The charming evening gown pictured, which Is made of white cotton me'h<~bea_rs testimony to the gracejyKi admirable draping qualities of this - material. The sophisticated simplicity of this gown is a feature of the present evening mode. Cowl Neckline Is Still Very Much in the Mode Despite several seasons of popularity, the cow 1 neckline persists, and now that it has become so generally established in favor it Is likely to remain so at least as long as any of your summer dresses. It is becoming to almost every one and may be arranged in a fairly deep V if you er In a wider, more oval outline. It is sometimes arranged with a “modesty piece” of lace or lingerie.

For coolness —silk net lingerie. It washes well and is smooth, soft and airy. It may be bought plain or lace trimmed. Eggplant is one of the newest and smartest colors in the fashion foreground. The rich purple-black tint which the French call “aubergine” is used for costumes for every hour of the day. It is often combined with a lighter color.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B FITZWATER. P. D.. Member ot Faculty. Moody Bible Institute ot Chicago.) (©. 1931. Western Newsnaner Union, r Lesson for August 16 SOWING AND REAPING (Temperance Lesson.) LESSON TEXT—Galatians 6.1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a—- — soweth that shall he also reap. PRIMARY TOPlC—Obeying the Law. JUNIOR TOPlC—Obeying the Law. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Sowing and Reaping (Effects of Alcohol). YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Sowing and Reaping (Effects of •Alcohol). In chapters three and four Paul presented in a masterful way the heart of Christianity; namely, that justification is by faith in the atoning work of Christ rather than by the works of the law. In chapters five and six he made practical application of the doctrine to the affairs of life. Gracious justification by faith is the dynamic for right living. Those who are freely justified in Christ will manifest the fact by the following conduct: I. Restore the Sinning Brother (v. 1). 1. Who he is. “The one overtaken In a fault.” The idea.expressed by the word “fault” is not to minimize the sin. but to show the suddenness of the temptation. One’s spirituality is shown by his willingness to help in such a case. 2. What is to be -done. He is to be “restoreJ.” Restore is a surgical term Which means the placing back of a dislocated member to its normal place. Christians are members of the body of Christ. Therefore, the sinning of a brother should as really give us pain, as the dislocation of a member of our| body. 3. How it is to be done. “In a spirit of meekness/ Harshness has no place in the life of a Chrtstiafi. Th& fruit of the Spirit is love, meekness, etc. The believer must show his right to claim the life in the heaven lies by* stooping down to help the brother ''crippled and besmeared in the dirt of earth. 4. The incentive. "Lest thou also be tempted.” No one is immune from temptaffon. The surest way to tj/ fortified against temptation is to go sympathetically to the rescue of tlie fallen. 11. Bear One Another’s Burdens (v. 2). 4 Many are the burdens of life: burdens of weakness, temptations! of) a fallen nature, sorrow, suffering, and sin. Some have more temptations than others. Since believers are Inseparably bound together, the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak. Christ is the supreme burden bearer. When we bear one another’s burdens, we fulfill the law of Christ. Many have Inherited the appetite for\ intoxicating liquors, and the spirit of burden bearing will move us to make our utmost endeavor to remove far away the temptation to strong drink. 111. Bear Our Own Burdens (vv. 3-5). There are some burdens which can be borne alone by the individual. Personal responsibility cannot be escaped. In a most . real sense every man lives his life alone. ' Helpful as Is sympathy, human and divine, greatly as we need the.helping hand of our brother, the Individual must live his owh life. The law of God which is in harmony with the law which controls the individual declares. “The soul that sinneth it shall die.” IV. Support Teachers of. God’s Word (w. 6-<j). It is incumbent upon those who are tnucht inCod’s Word to give of tl.oir means for the support of the teacher. To repudiate this obligation is to God (v. 7), for God has ordained that they who preach the gospel shall live of. the gospoj (I Cor, 9:14). The declaration. “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap,” sets forth a law which operates in all spheres of life. The reality of the operation of this law is in evidence on every hand. “The sufest thing about sin is that it leaves its mark.” V. Be Earnest in Well Doing (v. 9). The harvest is sure. Sow good seed and patiently waft for the reward. The same unfailing law which eventuates In a harvest of corruption to those who sow to the flesh will bring life everlasting to those who sow to the Spirit VI. Work for the Good of All Mer» (v. 10). The believer in Christ who realizes his freedom will have sympathies and interests as wide as the race. While especially endeavoring to help those In Christ, he will be reaching out to all men. He will be seeking to win them to Christ. This obligation to work for the good of all men applies in such matters as the abolition of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. / Paul We think of Paul as the grep t missionary, the great preacher, tUe great writer, the great apostle “iih labors more abundant.” JVe do net sufficiently think of him as the intercessor who sought and obtained by his supplication the power that rested upon all his other activities, and brought down the blessing that rested on the churches that he served. —AndrewMurray. With the Chrictian Flock The eastern shepherds say that they have.no trouble with a well sheep, but a Sick sheep will not follow his shepherd. This may explaiik the strange conduct of some who cralm to belong to the Christian flock.-f-Selected. Christ Will Assist Every character has an inward spring; let Christ be that spring. Every action has a keynote; let Christ be that note, to whl6h your whole life !■ attuned. —Harry Drummond.
