Big Boys Broke Is Gloomy
News Passed Out by
State Leaders.
BY BEN STERN

Hoover prosperity has affected
the Presidents own party in 1ndi-
ana. Candidates for state office to-
day were told at a meeting behind
locked doors, to dig down into their
jeans and shell out the where
withal, because the big boys who
contributed in the past have been
hit so badly that they can't con-
tribute"
"It is up to the candidates to bear
the brunt of the budget, which will
total more than 100000 for the fall
campaign" j. T. Norman, retired
capitalist and head of the cam
paign exchequer, told the aspirants
Norman, who has handled the
financial details of campaigns since
way back yonder," was pessimistic
about the raising of campaign
finances.
Candidates Must Pay
He told candidates they would
have to contribute 10 per cent Of
two years salary. This means that
candidates for the appellate and SUI
preme benches must pay $4,000;
secretary of state, $1,000; treasurer
and auditor, $500 each; clerk of
the supreme court, $1,000, and SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
ST 900.
Call for the meeting was secret
and the candidates met in the APP
pellate court library, stationing
Charles Richardson, Negro court Or
derly, at the door to keep out re-
porters.
Charles Biederwolf, clerk of the
supreme court, when questioned re-
garding the meeting. declared:
"Oh, we Just are discussing speak
ing dates and meetings"
Hard to Get Money
But few minutes later Moor
man was seen hurrying to the Ii
brary on the fourth floor.
"This is the toughest campaign
we have had in all my experience
when it comes to raising money"
he said.
And we are going to need plenty
of it, because the budget will run
more than 100000.
"As no senators are to be elected,
we can not expect any financial aid
from the Republican national COM
mittee and it is up to the state
committee to raise the funds.
"All the big men upon whom we
depended in the. past have suffered
losses on the stock market and can't
contribute"
Campaign to Be Hot One
Norman warned that this years
campaign will be hard fought and
large amounts will be expended.
1.-THE money expended, Of course,
can't approach the figure spent by
Will H. Hays in the 1920 cam
paign, for he left the state COM
mittee 100000 in debt" Norman
later declared.
Following the meeting, the candi-
dates declared they had discussed

cane, moving westward to-
ward Cuba and Florida to-
day, left the West Indies city
of Santo Domingo almost en-
tirely destroyed, and in ur-
gent need of food and medical
supplies.
After eighteen hours of suspense
in which the Dominican republics
capital was cut off from communi-
cation, cable service was restored
and the first definite reports from
All-America Gables said Santo
Domingo was $50 per cent" de-
Stroyed.
The most reliable estimate of the
dead made by All-America officials
was 300. Officials said about 1000
persons we're believed to have been
injured.
Over Is Millions Damage
The company'S adviceS said the
city of approximately $4,000 popula-
ton needed urgent aid and that the
American Red Cross would be asked
for help.
The cable company's office was
flooded and the houses of the cap
ital which were unroofed by the
first burst of violent wind Wednes-
day, were wrecked.
Damage to the city, including the
destruction of the home of American
Minister Charles B. Curtis, was
estimated at more than $4,000, 900.
An enormous number of persons
were homeless, many of them suf-
fering from injuries.
The sum of $4,000 was cabled to
Minister Curtis in Santo Domingo
by the American Red Gross within
a few minutes after being informed
by the state department of the ex-
tensiye damage caused by the hur-
ricane.
The money will be used for the
most pressing emergency needs, prin-
cipally to buy food, with additional
funds promised as soon as it can be
learnd how much will be needed.
Radio adviceS from San Juan,
Porto Rico, also reported great
damage at the British island of
Dominica, southeast of Santo
Domingo, where twenty persons
were killed.
Headed for Florida
The hurricane, which moved
north and west from Dominica,
struck with greatest violence at the
Dominican republic capital and
then appeared to veer northward
from Haiti-on the western half of
the same island-toward northern
Cuba and Florida, centering this
morning over the extreme north
western part of Haiti.
ObServatories reported the storm
center was likely to reach the north
ern coast of Cuba within twenty
four hours and the Florida coast in
thirty-six hours or two days.
The Dominican republic, which
was not entirely recovered from the
last West Indies hurricane, which
took a heavy toll of life, already
was suffering from economic de-
preston and the effects of a gov
ernmental transition when this new
disaster struck.

SPEEDING AND DANGEROUS
DRIVING HELD DIFFERENT
Rudolph Jose Says That Abandon
ing of Arbitrary Limits En-
crossing Motordom.

Whether arbitrary speed limits will
be abandoned within the next few wears
is a question that is engrossing motor
dom to considerable extent. And it
is one that motorists might we'll think
about, 1t is pointed out by Rudolph
Jose, well known automobile dealer and
veteran motorist.
Mr.. Jose makes the point that dan
gerous driving cannot be measured so
arbitrarily And TO this extent, he be-
lieveS, there Is reasonable basis for a
Encouragement of ones attitude toward
speed limits.
when the proposal is made TO aban-
don the arbitrary speed limit of 40 or
AS miles an hour ON the open road"
declares Mr. Jose, many at once think
that the trend is toward utter license
and complete removal of all the safe
guards which speed limits now are pre-
sumed to afford.
But is this really the case? Rather
is it not merely shifting the standard
Of speed to a more flexible basis?
In States where the limit has been
taken of the open road, the motorist
has not been licensed TO drive as fast
as ne wishes under any circumstances
but he is permitted to exceed the maxi
mum limit at present only when cor
dtions allow ii to be done safely. The
injunction of the law in those jurisdic-
lions is that he must drive according
TO conditions.
when one examines the question
calmly in the light OF this limitation
it appears that there is still a limita-
ton. A motorist cannot go as fast as
he wishes, but only may proceed at the
speed that is safe under that particular
set of circumstances. This should be
/ true of all driving. Circumstances al
ways should determine the motorists

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, England, September 90
unique motor car resembling an
enormous lady bug is startling motor
lists on the English highways these days.
Comdr. Sir Charles Dennistoun Burney,
well known to Chicagoans, designed the
seven-seater "airplane car" which may
notably affect the future design of both
light and heavy road vehicles.
Sir Charles applied the lessons he
learned in constructing the airship
R-100, especially those of wind re-
sistance, to the construction of the
automobile.
Claims Great Saving in Cost.
The strange looking result is claimed
by Sir Charles to save so per cent on
gasoline, so per cent on horsepower and
even economic on tires because at high
speed it scarcely touches the ground.
The enthusiastic motor editor of the
Daily Express even reports that If
speed Of 1870 miles an hour could be
attained the car would actually rise in
the air owing to its stream lines The
pointed front Of the car noses its way
through air resistance and sends the
air scurrying over the top of the air

Driving the car gives a sensation
akin to that OF handling an airplane
before it leaves the ground. There
are no road shocks, there is no engine
sense, as the engine is at the extreme
rear Of the chassis. and fumes and heat
are absent. necessitating artificial heat

MANY GOOD REASONS LISTED
FOR TOURING IN FALL MONTHS
Cool Weather, Less Congestion Hunting,
Fishing, Theatricals and Sports
Combine Motoring Delights.

Southern States might be like one finds
the Fall months a good deal more
suitable
There is always considerable road
construction going on during the sum
mer time and many detours of varying
length and responsibility to encounter.
BY FAN most of whatever road build
ing IS scheduled to be built has been
done ana consequently the highways
are in better shape. The better the
highway over which one travels the
less will be the cost of gasoline, oil,
tires, tubes and general maintenance
item in other words, operating cost.
Detours and poor road conditions, II IS
an established fact, increase to no
small degree the cost of running ones
car.
Better Engine Effect.
One motorist confided to me that
he greatly prefers travelling during the
cooler seasons because of the beneficial
effect it has on the engine of his car.
Sensitive to cool air, it runs much bet
ter then The tires, too, he claims
stand up longer when the pavement Is
not saturated with the heat Of July
or August sun.
There are some parents who enjoy
taking their vacations away from their
families, and there is no time of the
year more applicable than the Fall
months for this. particularly for those
who have their children in private
schools
Week end driving in the Fall is always
rather pleasant, and there are the ex-
citing foot ball games to travel TO II
one is at all interested. In fact. many
people have developed a liking for this
sport, because it has given them place
to go with their car Also. should one
wish to indulge in little camping over
a week end one need have no fear
of mosquitoes flies or other unneces-
sary and annoying insects.
The automobile is like a big brother
to the American people. taking them
wherever they might wish to go easily
and inexpensively, Spring Summer, Au-
tumn and even in Winter making 1t
possible for them to see the beauty OF
the country In which they live, its
cities and countrysidsS woodlands and
natural wonders. But for many motor
lists the Autumn Is the season out OF
which they get the greatest satisfaction
in the use of their cars.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-21
BY Fl. CLIFFORD BROKAVY,
Automobile Technical Adviser.

There are good reasons why many
motorists make the maximum use of
their cars during the Fall season. An
increasing number are finding unusual
satisfaction in touring about at this
time Of the year and have come to
prefer motoring during the Autumn
more than at any other time OF the
year.
There are more than 100000 miles
of good highways in the United States
as disable in the Fall as in the sum-
mer months. Travel via automobile
being the great American amusement,
it will not seem strange that many
people continue this enjoyment late into
the Fall when however, its curtallment
is enforced bit in the Northern States
by the difficulty of wind and snow. Fall
months can be very delightful, with the
woodlands dressed in yellows and
browns and reds and puppies the late
wild flowers in the fields Vacattoning
then can be quite pleasurable. Indeed
some people prefer it to the Summer
months.
Weather Improved.
They like the cooler, more invigorat-
ing air sun which does not burn with
the intenseness of July and August
days, the less crowded highways and
the fun of having clear road ahead
on which to eat up the miles, the sat-
isfaction of knowing that the APP
proaChes to the big cities are not likely
to be subject to the week end trafhc
jams usual during the Summer
OF course, with vacations thing of
the past for most people by September,
the resorts will be less crowded and the
rates less expensive. One dresses a
little warmer perhaps, but there are
sunny days even in the Fall when one
can enjoy a swim, and one can always
play tennis and golf or go boating and
fishing. Fishing and hunting are the
two great sports of the Fall months,
bringing the sportSmen into the forests
and up by the lakes. OF course, few
people have always gone hunting and
fishing in the woodlands, but one must
give credit to the automobile for max
ing 1t possible for great number of
people, particularly families to enjoy
the benefits of vacationing and recreat-
ing in the woods.
Cities More Pleasing.
People living in the smaller towns
may not particularly care to take to
the woods, but wish, rather, to travel
to the larger metropolis. They find the
large cities uncompromisingly warm
for vacation enjoyment during the
Summer months. But by October
theatrical and musical performances
have begun and the intense warmth
characteristic of a large city in the
| Summer time has disappeared. it is cool
and comfortable and sightseeing is a
pleasure Also, if one thinks it might
be gratifying to travel South instead
of North ON ones tour and learn to
know what the particular places of
| beauty and of historic interest in the
