first time in the last two years that
this organization has met here. The
purpose Of this organization, as we
understand it, is for discussing and
arranging inter-scholastic contests
and for discussing school problems in
general.

Health Association is expected with
in the next two weeks to examine all
the children.
At meeting of the so-called Liter
airy Society some time ago, Grace
Dignan was elected president, Janice
Carroll, vice-president, and Dale
Bergseth, secretary and treasurer. 1t
was the cOncensus of opinion that
when programs are given they should
be worthy of public performance.
Since the school has need for money
making body, it is planned to convert
this organization into one; conse-
quently, the officers, as an executive
committee, are expecting to make
some suggestions to the society on its
purposes and constitutions. In the
meantime program is being prepar-
ed for Nov. 16. The sixth grade girls
will dance for you; Janice Carroll
and some other girls will introduce to
you their Aunt from California"
Ethel Molloy will tell you thanks
giving story; Vivian Granville will
play a piano solo; and the other
number seems to be secret. From
rumors circulating. we think that no
one should miss seeing this part of
the program particularly. &

Homer's "Odysseus" was about the

Program for Aid of

Washington-Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho believes that special

lief legislation is needed. The SEN
ator issued this statement in which
he outlined a three-fold plan of agri-
cultural relief, The plan included a
tariff bill with increased duties for
farm products. A measure establish
ing a more satisfactory farm mar
keting system and the creation Of
federal board with revolving fund to
assist the farmer in his surplus crops.
UNLESS the short session takes up the
subject" Mr.. Borah said, land con-
cludes satisfactory legislation upon it,
I am thoroughly in favor of an extra
session of congress. I would like to
see the session called at once. There
is every reason for a special session
and to my mind no sound reason
against it."

U, S. CAPITAL TO
BUILD FLEET OF
SEA AIR LINERS
100-PaSSenger British
Ship, Now Near Compile
ton, Would Be Model.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May From
New York to London in forty eight
hours and with all the comforts of
the most luxurious ocean liners!
This may sound like a dream of
Julius Verne, but it will be accom-
pIished this year by the R-100, a
British airship, built under direc-
ton of Commander c. Dennis Bur-
ney, M. P.
The Burney ship, of 100000
cubic feet displacement, has pro-
crossed so far that it is expected to
be ready for trial flights in July.
American capital has become in
terested in the R-100 and a De-
troit group has taken an option on
a substantial interest in the Bur-
ney company with view of estab-
fishing a fleet Of six 100000 cubic
feet air liners built on the Burney
disgns and for use in London New
York traffic.
Half of these ships would be built
in the United States and half in
England with the operating COM
pany owned jointly by British and
American capital.
The R-100 will carry 100 passen-
gers and ten tons of express freight.
It will be able to make the east
ward passage in forty eight hours
and the trip from London to New
York via the Azores in sixty hours.
The southern route on the west
ward passage is contemplated to
avoid head winds.
If plans for the transatlantic
airship company maternialize, the
R-100 will be used as an expert
mental ship, followed up by the
larger dirigibles with capacities for
140 passengers and twenty tons of
freight.
The R-100 has been furnished,
the StateroomS are completed and
rugs have already been laid in the
dining salon.

1.-THE Americanism of Hoover is
shown in every deed, in every utter
ance. His achievements dignified the
nation and established prestige for the
American name abroad which none of
the failures of diplomacy can obscure.
Herbert Hoover bears name illus
triOus because of remarkable achieve
ments. But, best of all, it is name I'M
furnished, expressive not only of ex-
ceptional ability but of the simple life
of a modest citizen

in an antiquated Ford belonging
to the Siegelin youth, with inten-
tions Of going as far as the auto
mobile would carry them.
Arriving in Dallas, Texas, a few
days ago, the boys put their car
in a garage and went to hotel.
The next morning, on entering
the garage for the car, they we're
met by a detachment Of police
who took the boys to the city Jail
where they were held as suspects
for the murder OF two Lafayette
Qnd.) deputy sheriffs, John Grove
and Wallace Mcclure, whose bodies
we're found near Covington, Ind,
recently.
After being held for five hours,
the youths were released by identi-
fication through travellers checks,

369 such permits in force. This does
not cover regularly constituted Of
ficers and those who are armed by
special dispensation.
Personal protection" is listed on
the record as the reason for most
of the permits. One hundred and
three have been issued since Jan.
1, compared to less than ninety last

character, "a proper person to

With few exceptions the permit

men, and seek the protection while
travelling State roads in automobiles.
Sees Crime Increase
Prosecutor William H. Ren1y sees
in the increase more chance for an
increase in crime. Were not so
many people armed" he said,
Marion County would not be called
on to prosecute so many homicide
cases." Several are pending now.
Remy finds no fault in the arming
of attendants at filling stations,
which business he termed "the most
hazardous of modern times" but
he does object to promiscuous issu-
ance Of permits to others.
Murders are caused by a flare of
temper and the fact that a tirearm
is handy" Remy said.
