Chemists reported that the pub
lies taste in foods was changing, due
partly to the ability of food produc-
ers through chemical aid to improve
the quality. The change was de-
scribed by Dr. Fred C. Blanck of the
L. S. department OF agriculture
bureau of chemistry and soils, as a
demand tor higher quality.
There is an immediate interest in
the utilization of waste products in
agriculture for human food" he
said. I'm the past our efforts have
been to use this waste for animals
or fertilizer. For example, our farm
ers fill their silos with pea pods. But
the pea pod has high protein and
sugar content. We are working TO
put the enormous food energy of the
protein and sugar in the pods into
form in which it can be used in
food industries.

WALKING
Will Be EASIER
Can Now Measure Pliabiity o.
Leather, Chemists Hear

SWampscott, Mass, Sept. 1s.-tF
Prediction that walking will be
easier for nearly everyone in the
United States, within year. as q
result Of chemical research. was
made today at the American chemi-
cal society's annual meeting.
The forecast was by John A. Will
son, of Milwaukee. newly elected
national president of the American
Leather Chemists association. The
ease in walking he attributed to the
discovery of a method OF measuring
for the first time the pliability Of
leather one of the most important
factors in Wa}hing comfort. Until the
device for determining exactly the
pliability was perfected, he said, tan
ners had no way of fixing a standard
but catered to individual tastes.

though talked of privately through
out this distinctly Protestant state
where the Khan once claimed a

discussed very little in public

Much OF the dynamite of this
whole INDIAN campaign situation
still is under the surface. The null
ti-functloned campaign committees
are only beginning to get under
way. The state hopes to hear more
about prohibition. and is looking
forward to Gov. Smiths expected
farm relief speech at Omaha next
week. There are indications that
many voters have not made UP their
minds. Much can happen between
now and election day.

Only one element is lacking. If
the voters Of the state were nor

Many Popes have worked ardently

Near East Welfare association has
been instrumental in obtaining
much Of this progress. The associ-

he praised his predecessor. Bene-,

Republican leaders appear to have
every confidence that no such in
kroads are In prospect Although the
state organization opposed Hoover's
nomination and battled at Kansas
City for q McNary- Hauyen plan. it
accepted the party verdict and its
leader. Senator James E. Watson. is
on the stump for the party ticket.
The republicans declare Hoover's re-
publican losses on the farm issue
will be comparatively small and will
be more than counter balanced by
democratic OBJECTIONS from Smith in
a state which has voted overwhelm-
ingly for prohibition in every test of
recent years. Some Hoover leaders
even talk Of a Hoover landslide.
There is no question on the other
hand OF the militaacy OF the demo-
cratic organization. which is pre-
pairing to 60 into action against
these natural odds Illness has re-
moved Tom Taggart from active
generalship but the state forces of
democracy are going forward under
new leaders with every appearance
of unity and with some considerable
strategic factors weighing in their
favor. Aside from the accessions
they expect on the far missue, and
the pulling power of the democratic
ticket among republicans who agree
with Gov. Smith about prohibition,
they count on the democratic state
ticket to help greatly in breaking
down republican resistance.
Indiana has passed through a
series OF scandals under two sue
cessive republican state organiza-
tions. The democratic nominee for

Daley Urging New Deal
Frank c. Daley. a popular In
dianapolis lawyer with a record for
original prosecution, as leading in a
general plea to the voters to forget
party and declare new deal in both
state and nation. Even the repub-
lican leaders expect Daley to run
well though they predict his defeat.
and the democrats claim such a ma
jority for him as will help material
ly in lifting Smith and Robinson to-
ward an Indiana victory.
Democratic spokesman likewise
predict Smith gains from the re-
publicans in most of the cities. and
particularly in Gary with its large
population OF steel workers. They
count on help from the southern
Indiana mine workers who until re-
Gently had been on strike for
months. and from the $4,000 or
more negro voters, among whom
Jack Johnson is reported to be Or
ganizing Smith-for-president clubs.
But in all these directions demo-
cratic claims are contradicted by
the republicans.
What farm strength can be
thrown to the democratic ticket re-
mains to be seen. William H.

farm bureau federation, is for
Smith. and an organization calling
itself the Independent Equality for
