plyDemand Centuries Old

BY the Associated Press.
NAPLES, Italy. December 24-Eight
hundred tons of eels arrived here to-
day from Bastia, Corsica, for the Nea-
politans' customary Christmas eve
dinner.
Ten special fish-carrying vessels, in
which water flows in and out through
minute holes. keeping the eels alive,
brought the food. The cells are fished
up from the schooners in special
basket nets.
The Neapolitan custom Ct eating cells
on Christmas eve began hundreds of
! years ago.
The Duke of Acadia. a Neapolitan
nobleman, four centuries ago had
enormous ponds built beneath his palace
filled with water from the Bolla Aque-
duct in order to raise his own cells. A
narrow street nearby running to the
Duke of Accaria's Palace still bears the
name of Vico Fontana Del Serpi (Snake
Fountain street,.
It is not Christmas eve for the
Neapolitan if he does not have his
"capitone (eeD "zuppa dipesce" fish
soup with tomato) and 'frittura di
pesce" (fried fish,.
Dozens of bottles OF Gragnano,
Capri, Epomeo, Monte di Procida and
Lacrimae Christi are emptied at each
large dinner and tales of Neapolitan
history are recounted by elder men,
bers of the family.
A little before midnight the diners
start for the Cathedral of San Cen
marc, where mass is celebrated with
the archbishop's blessing.

President to Remain in
Capital to Organize
Drought Relief.
BV United Press

BV United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Presi-
dent Hoover announced cancella-
ton of his proposed two-weeks' va
cation trip to the northern Rockies
today, saying he would remain in
Washington to organize drought re-
lief work.
The President has the conference
here Thursday and Friday with state
Governors and farm organization
representatives, and the seriousness
of the drought situation will require
his close attention probably for some
time afterward. Previously, he had
planned to leave next week for
two weeks vacation.
The President does not consider
the condition Of crops as reported
by the agriculture department Mon
day as indicating the entire extent
of damage that may be expected
from the drought. This report pre-
dicted a per cent decrease in crops.
The shortage in the corn crop,
which the agriculture department
predicted Monday would be 4OO,OUU,-
900 bushels below that of last year,
will not be felt so much by the
nation as a whole as in certain 10
canties where the crop failure is
almost total, it was pointed out.
The shortage in feed crops is the
most acute, it was explained. This
may necessitate drawing from the
surplus of wheat to balance the
shortage of corn, hay and other
feed grains.
In this way, it was pointed out,
the drought may balance up the
total food requirements for both
humans and animals, and thus re-
suit in creating more normal sit
uation than has existed for the last
year or two.
While Mr.. Hoover's western trip
now is eliminated from his plans,
the President may take a vacation
in October after two speaking en-
gagementS in the early part of the
month.

FEAR WEALTHY
PAIR TRAPPED
BY K|DNAPERS
Manufacturer and Wife Are
Believed DeCoyed by
Gang of SWindlerS.
CARRIED $4,000 DRAFT
Auto Loads of Cops SCour
Ohio Highways Hunting
Confidence Men.

BIZ United Press
DEFIANCE, O.. Aug. 12.-Author-
tiles of northwestern Ohio were
searching the highways and towns
along the Indiana border today for
trace of Charles Kern, 80, wealthy
st. Louis man, and his wife, who dis
appeared this morning, while carry
ing bank draft for $4,000.
Authorities fear the aged couple
may have been kidnapped by a gang
of SwindlerS.
According to the story pieced to-
gether by police of Toledo, st.
Louis, Defiance and Ft. Wayne, the
Kerns left st. Louis Monday, carry
ing the $4,000 draft with which
Kern planned to "close real estate
deal"
Met by Two Men
at Ft. Wayne they were met by
two men, whom they received as
friends and who rode with them to
Defiance, where they were met by
several other men in an auromo-
bile. The party drove away and
the Kerns have not been seen
since.
Although the "real estate dear'
may have been legitimate busl-
ness venture, authorities fear it was
a trap of the confidence men.
Kern'S hesitancy to tell st. Louis
bankers what he was going to do
with the money, the disappearance
of the entire party in the automo-
bile; and the fact that Kern only
at the last moment decided to take
a draft instead of cash, lent color
to the fears of officials.
Put Crimp in Plans"
"I think he probably was the VIC
tim of confidence men," Chief OF
Police Haas of Toledo, said. "They
probably expected him to bring the
$4,000 in cash, and when he
brought a draft, it put crimp in
their plans"
All banks in the district have
been notified of the draft,
Deputy sheriffs from Defiance and
other towns patrolled the highways
for the missing car, and persons
who saw the party detrain here were
questioned by police.
Chief Gives His Views
Chief Haas, questioned by tele-
phone, was asked why he feared the
couple were kidnapped.
"I didn't say they were," he re-
piled, "but when we lost trace OF
kern and his wife, with all that
money in their possession, we got
worried.
IF it was confidence men, they
probably were working the old game
in which the swindler promises the
victim big money if he will invest
a large amount of cash hurriedly.
Kern's bank draft would have upset
such a. plan"

New Bombing Feared

BU United Press
PROVIDENCE, KY, Aug. IL
Men going to their work in the coal
mines of Webster county today cast
uneasy glances toward the skies,
fearful that the orange colored
monoplane which dropped nine
bombs in the district might reap

A mass meeting of nonunlon

ward fund started.
No actual damage was done py
the bombs and no one was injured
although one missile exploded near

Mine operators interpreted the at
tack as a declaration of open war

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Aug.
IL. = Contractors on state
road jobs who have paid less
than a living wage to common
laborers were blacklisted> for
future state contracts by state
highway commissioners in
session here today.
The commissioners unanimously
adopted a resolution opposing the
contractors, some Of whom have
paid as low as 20 cents an hour to
laborers, and condemned their tac-
tics.
The resolution was based ON
survey of the situation by The In
dianapoliS Times, which also met
approval of the Indiana State Fed
Grafton of Labor, Commissioner Jess
Murden of Peru said when he in
troduced the resolution.
Without nincing words, the COM
missioners'l resolution set out that
they did not believe "a contractor
worthy of receiving contracts for
public work, who does not keep up
public work who does not keep up
Must Maintain Fair Wage
The resolution further stated that
the commission will not look with
favor upon contractors whose rec
ordS disclose they are not main
tanning a fair and reasonable scale
of wages"
Murden in introducing the action
said:
''I have based the content of this
resolution on the survey made by
The Indianapolis Times, and the
stories that resulted from this
survey. The Times revelations were
supported by the state federation
of labor. In most instances / find,
however, that the low wages we're
being paid by outstate contractors
and subcontractors."
The board approved the sugges-
ton of John j. Brown, state COM
mission director. to employ farmers
whose farms have been crippled by
the recent drought, on state road
projects.
Praise State Contractors
The resolution follows:
"The Indiana staSe highway COM
mission is opposed to contractors
paying less than a living wage scale
for their labor. In all estimates
made by the highway commission,
living wages are included for all
contractors employees and the COM
mission does not consider a con-
tractor worthy of receiving con-
tracts for public work who does not
keep up the standard of wages.
"The laws of Indiana provide that
the state highway commission
award contracts to the lowest and
best bidder and, in the future, the
commission will not look with favor
upon contractors whose records dis
close that they are not maintaining
a fair and reasonable scale of wages.
I'm fairness to the Indiana con-
tractors who have been building ex-
cellent roads and paying fair wages
to their laborers, we have not found
one instance where they have taken
advantage of unemployment to re-
duce wages"
