known for a month that this investi-
cation was coming, and 1 also knew
that there was no way to avoid it. ="
DIR. Carrick would make no direct
statement as to the full confession
he is said to have made to federal
officials. It was learned, however,
from high official sources, that his
confession, along with statements
taken Tuesday morning from half
dozen or more inmates and guards
at the penitentiaIy, will furnish
sensational revelations concerning
the state of affairs at the federal
prison in respect to the dope traffic.

courage and good Workmanship"
have been received by Miss Peggy
Marie Beal, as she lay on hospital
bed fighting a battle for life against
a wound sustained when she at
tempted to take her own life Sun
day after she had shot and killed
Frank Warren Anderson, department
store welfare director, in local
hotel.
"Our sympathy is yours" read
one of the letters. "The world needs
more girls who have the courage
and ability to shoot straight. We
regret, however, that you shot your
self. There is plenty to live for.
The stars are up there yet, and the
flowers bloom the same as ever"

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS
FACE DETERMINATION
CBv Associated Press)

Washington, Aug. 18-German
papers are facing determination
according to report to the Com
merce department today from
Commercial Attache Herring in
Berlin. Enormously increased
cost of operation, he said, togeth-
er. with the impossibility of in
creasing subscription and adver-
Using rates proportionately have
brought about a crisis in the
German newspaper world and al
ready III newspapers have clos
ed down their plants permanent
ly.
Printers wages, the attache re
ported, have increased 2,1OO per
cent over the pre-War levels, the
price of newsprint paper has adj
canved more than 800 per cent,
the cost of machinery, printers
ink and other supplies has jump
ed about 40 times over pre-War
rates, and the great increase i'll
the postal, telephone and tele-
graph service has severely affect
ed the publishers.
On the other hand, he said, the
subscription price OF German
newspapers has had an average
increase of only about 900 per
cent while it has been impossible
to advance publishing rates to
compensate for present operating
costs without affecting the vol
ume of business.
The suggestion has been made
that the government reduce tax
alton affecting newspaper costs
or that the press be subsidized
through the Minister of Educa-
ton to prevent the detrimental
effect upon the nation of the loss
Of an active and efficient pres,
service.
1T is, of course, difficult MI
Herring said, for German news
papers to maintain an adequate
foreign staff, particularly in h;gl
exchange countries. Unless the
conditions improve, the German
people may eventually. become
largely dependent upon the for
eign news services of the En-
tente and other foreign countries
for their international news.

DROUTH HURTING
CROPS over STATE

Louisville, KY, Aug. 18-The
first half of the week was cool,
but temperatures rose above
normal toward the end. Only a
few local showers occurred.
Drought became intensified in
the northeastern and extreme
western counties and is spread
ing into the central district. The
need for rain is more acute in the
north half of the state. In the
west central counties there has
been practically no rain for two
weeks. while the region west OF
the lower Cumberlands has re-
ceived no rain for more than
three weeks. In the dry district,
which now includes about halt
OF the state, the growth of late
corn and tobacco is being re-
tarded and the condition of these
crops is critical. Unless goou
rains come soon. thA fields will
be materially reduced. In the
southern half of the state, also
in a narrow belt along the Ohio
river, extending from Hancock
to Boone county, early corn and
tobacco made good progress and
are generally in good condition.
Early corn will mature without
further rain, but early tobacco
has not spread we'll and would
be helped by rains except where
it is badly fired" Very little
hurley tobacco has been cut in
localities where moisture has
been sufficient to Keep it growing
but premature cutting of fired
tobacco is proceeding in the dry
areas. Cutting is well started in
the Ozark" district, and the
weather has been decidedly fav-
orable for air curing. Hill pas
lures are becoming short gener-
ally, and in the dry districts
they are practically burned up.
Alfalfa looks well, also COW peas
and clover, although needing
rain. Gardens and late potatoes
are suffering from rain. Dry
soil prevented progress with
fall blowing,

A woman who carefully safe

out women cannot make happy
homes.
