 RELIEVE DISTRESS
"White Collar Workers Prom
 isd Aid by Committee

Chicago, Oct. is (P)-The unen1- ployed white collar" man saw hopefully today an effort to relieve his distress get under way.
 While the Illinois Manufacturing Association mobilized its member ship to help stabilize employment and Gov. l.. L. Emmerson's com mission endeavored to assist the laboring man, hi office-wsrking fellow in misfortune was overlook ed, according to Frank G. Logan, banker and art patron. Logan pledged s3,OO0 to start a. fund for the white collar" jobless.
 Immediate prosecution of all gov ernment work, especially the s21.- 000,000 Chicago post office and the Illnois waterway was urged in resolution adopted yesterday by the manufacturers body. To stabilize employment the members of the as- sociation were urged to stimulate sales activity, reduce overtime, tenn porarily curtail the number of work ing days per week, transfer workers from slack to busy departments and drop single persons before those with dependents when lay-offs were necessary.
 The Lincoln Park commissioners respnded to the plea for speeding public work by voting to proceed with $325, 900 worth of contracts, giving employment to several hun dred men.
 An aldermanic move to provide s14,000,000 for unemployment re- lief was started by Albert J. Horan, chairman of the council committee on track elevation.

Sleet Responsible for
Many Winter Accidents
Highway Department Bulletin
Suggests Some Emergency
Relief Measures

Sleet freezing on windshields
cause large number of motor We
hicle accidents in the first on
slaught of winter a state highway
department bulletin states in offer.
ing some suggestions as to how
this i'll may be combated.
If the rear hook of the engine
hood is unfastened, the bulletin
says, and the hood raised an inch
or so, the heat from the engine
can be used to keep the sleet from
freezing on the glass. If the wind
is blowing cross-ways of the car,
the use of pasteboard box to
carry the heat closer to the glass
is recommended.
For vehicles having heaters in
side, the suggestion is made that a
piece Of tire tubing be carried and
this made use of to carry the heat
directly to the lower side of the
windshield. The warmed glass
serves to prevent the sleet from
sticking. A small bag of salt fast
ened to the upper end Of the wind
shield wiper is said to afford some
relief, but the melted salt forms "a
smear that is somewhat trouble
some and that requires the use Of
alcohol for its removal.
The bulletin urges drivers to ex-
ercise exceptional care when sleet
conditions prevail because, while
ones own windshield may be clear,
those of other drivers may not be
on account of wind conditions.

VETS, DRYS CALL
SHOWDOWN In -
Law Enforcement Commits
sion Again in Session at
National Capital
ATTACK FESS' POSITION
Republican Party Must Take
Stand on Issue Even If 1t
Causes Break

President Hoover's law enforce
ment commission convened We'd
nesday to continue work on it's
prohibition report as Republican
vets and drys came to grips on the
liquor question as a possible issue
in the 1882 presidential race.
AS usual, the meeting of the en-
forcement commissioners was ex-
ecutive, and Chairman Wickersham
stood on his announcement of a
few days ago that all reports spe-
culating on the commissions find
ings were "guesses."
With former Senator Wadsworuh.
of New York and Representative
Britten, of Illinois, Republican an
tt prohibitionists, in dispute with
Senator Fees, Republican Prohibi-
zionist from Ohio. as to the lat
ter's assertion that the party would
split if it favored repeal, Repre-
sentative Beedy, Republican, Maine,
came out in favor of making prohi-
bition an issue in the 1892 elections.
-'I believe" the Maine member
said, "that the matter of prohibi-
tion should be thoroughly discussed
in the 1882 campaign and that it
would be much better if the peo-
pie of the country would have the
right to voice their opinions"
Beedy is an ardent prohibitionist
and has opposed on the floor of the
house repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
Beedy said he thought it advis-
able to settle the prohibition ques-
ton in the next general election
and that it would be a helpful
thing for everybody concerned"
Replying to Fess, Wadsworth
said: "We want our party to be
right on the only fundamental
constitutional issue that has arisen
since the days of the Civil war
and we will fight to make it right,
split or no split"
selected for the Republican nation
al committee, if Fess "is so blind
or SO intolerant that he cannot
analyze the desires Of millions of
voters in progressive northern
states." ....
The enforcement commission
heard representatives of the Amer
lean Medical association amplify a
report from the association on Me-
dicinal Liquor Problems.
The commission has reached the
point in its work where it is seek
ing a report agreeable to MAORI
ty, If not all, of the members. The
most optimistic members do not
look for completion of the report
before Dec. 1. when congress re-
convenes, but there is a feeling
among most members the docu-
ment can be finished by the first
of the year. -.- .... .-.,.. ,

Snow Plowed Highways
Have Additional Hazards
Drivers Urged to Look Out for
Children on Roads Cleared
BY Snow Plows

Children walking to or from
school and drivers Of motor We
hicles ON roads which have been
narrowed by snow are urged by a
state highway bulletin to use ex-
ira care to avoid accidents.
The opening Of roads after heavy
snow falls has invariably added to
the number of motor vehicle acci-
dent fatalities and injuries, the
bulletin points out, thru children
walking on the clearest part Of the
roadway and automobiles driving
too close to them in passing. A
slip of the foot has caused the
child to fall in the way of the We
hicle instead of getting out of its
way. Drivers are urged to take the
safe side. Remember, the bulletin
stresses, you cannot depend on
turning your car away from the
child as quickly on the snow COW
cred road as on a dry pavement.
Patrolmen have been instructed
by Earle Brown, chief of the state
highway patrol, to caution school
children aa much as possible, but
operators Of motor vehicles who
FAIL to exercise due care In such
circumstances will find themselves
confronted with reckless driving
changes, the bulletin states.

.NINE-YEAR-OLD LAD
KILLED SATURDAY
Bennie DenZer Struck by G..
N. Passenger on Bridge
East of the City
ONE OF LARGE FAMILY
Parents Moved to Sauk Gen.
tire October First-Funer-
al Monday Afternoon

Benjamin Denzer, the 9-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. B. H. Denzer,
who reside on the Dodge farm in
the west part of the city, was killed
by No. II, the west-bound To-
cal Great Northern passenger train,
on the trestle, about one mile east
of this city Saturday, Nov. %, 1880,
about 1890 p. M.
The lad in company with John
Eagan, aged about II, a neighbor-
ing boy were picking up coal along
the Great Northern right of way.
Like most boys Bennie was attract
ed by the railroad bridge and was
playing there when the passenger
approached from the East. He did
not discover the train until it was
close to him. He got off the track
a short distance and was probably
struck by the cow-catcher. His
right arm was broken at the
shoulder and the skull badly frac-
tured at it's base.
The train was stopped as quickly
as possible but the. little lad was
dead when the train crew reached
him. He was brought to the city
and Deputy Coroner A. F. Moyni-
han summoned. After an exami-
nation he decided that an inquest
was unnecessary. DR.. Moynihan
stated to the Herald that the lad
probably died instantly because of
the badly fractured skull.
When the accident occurred the
father was in the north woods deer
hunting.
Bennie was born in Lesuer
Mimi, Feb. IA, 1921 being one of a
family of 10 children. Soon after
his birth his parents moved to
Anoka county where they resided
until five years ago when they re-
moved to farm near Round Prai-
rie, Todd county. The family
moved to this city October first,
this year.
Besides the parents the following
brothers and sisters, all at home,
survive: Charles, Kenneth Loretta,
Nancy, Ruth, Reed, Maeclean,
Joseph and Loren.
The funeral was held from Pen
tacostal church, Second street,
Monday at 200 p. M. Rev. Oliver,
the PASTOR had charge of the SER
vices. Burial was made in Oak
wood cemetery.
The pallbearers were: Royce Ray
rnond. Norwood Key, Ronald and
Albert Rivet, Donald and Harold
Upton.
The following relatives from
away attended the funeral: Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Denzer, grandparents,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Denzer,
amt and uncle, LeSuer, Mimi;
Mrs. Howard Carlson and Mrs.
George Belback, Minneapolis; Mrs.
Della Coyle and children, st. Paul,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Schultz.

the Herald a year ago were in
vited to write their beloved
friend, Santa Claus, giving him
an inkling of what they wanted
for Christmas. These letters
were mailed to the Herald and
were published i'm a group in

State Highway Patrol Aids
5759 In Month of October
Motorists Giving Some Attention
to Safe Driving But Many
Still Careless

The monthly report of the work
Of the state highway patrol, made
by Earle Brown, chief of the pa
troll, to State Highway Commission
er G. M. Babcock, is summarized in
a bulletin issued by the highway
department and contains some in
teresting side-lights on motor traf-
fic within the state.
A lessening of the number Of We
hicles using the highways, coupled
with a growing respect for traffic
regulations upon the part of driv-
ers, is stated by the bulletin to ac-
count for fewer violations as COM
pared with summer months.
Arrest Of motorists was neces-
sary in only 119 instances. OF
these, 80 were for driving while
drunk and "a for careless driving.
Fines imposed totalled $2,790.5O.
Vehicles taken into custody by
patrolmen numbered 40. OF these,
2 were on account of having wrong
license plates, 81 because of the
drivers being intoxicated, aban-
doned on highways, and 1 stolen.
Patrolmen checked UP on a total
of 36 accidents. First aid was CIV
en- to z persons injured in accidents.
Assistance in one form or another
was given to $3.50 motorists.
Tags were issued to 1742 for illeg-
al equipment, faulty brakes, alb
sence Of windshield wipers, failure
to have rear-view mirrors, etc. De-
fective or missing rear, lights
brought tags to 619.
Warnings were given to 1910 for
minor violations. Motorists who
ran by stop signals and were warn
ed numbered 161 as compared with
233 in the preceding month. Driv-
ing in wrong lanes brought warn
ings to 113, but as 875 were checked
on this in September and a still
larger number in August, the bull
letin points out. an Improvement is
claimed here.

State Fair Officers Have
Extensive Building Plans
Program As Outlined by The
Board of Managers Covers
8 Ten-Year Period

st. Paul, Nov. 24-Plans for a ten
year building program for bigger
and better Minnesota State Fair
have been worked out by the Board
of Managers, it was announced to-
day by Frank e. Millard, president
of the Fair.
A long time improvement pro-
gram that includes the erecting of
a number of new buildings, the re-
plating of the grounds, and the
acquisition of additional space for
a tourist camp and for auto park
ing, will be submitted to the legis-
lature for approval at it's coming
session. The solons will be petition
ed to create a fund by adding a
fraction of mill to the state tax
levy, the revenue derived from this
source to be used exclusively for
new buildings and improvements.
The Fair boards program was
drafted after a detailed study had
been made of the institutions
needs of permanent improvements
to enable it to extend its statewide
educational service.
Erection of a boys and girls
All club building is the first step
proposed under the plan. Other
buildings, to house the swine,
sheep, horse, poultry, agriculture,
horticulture, dairy, machinery and
industrial exhibits will follow as
funds are made available.
For many years our Fair has
been standing still while fairs in
sister states of Iowa, Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana and Michigan have gone
ahead, says Mr.. Millard. Our ply
sical plant has deteriorated. Our
facilities are inadequate, and lack
of suitable buildings has cut heav-
lily into exhibits. Only four or five
of the 100 buildings on the grounds
are of fireproof or semi-fireproof
construction. The others are frame
structures not only unsanitary and
dangerous to health but are un-
attractive and present a tremend-
Gus fire hazard. This condition has
not been apparent to Fair visitors
for the reason that the dilapidated
condition of the buildings has been
hidden by camouflage. The upkeep
of these buildings over ten years
has cost more than their present
value as cofpared to two per cent
maintenance expense charged to
the new brick, concrete and steel
livestock Pavilion.
Minnesota is an agricultural
state. It's livestock and dairy pro-
ducts alone totaled AL millions of
dollars last year. The Fair, organ
lied for and dedicated to the build
ing up of agriculture, has played a
prominent part in the development
of the states basic industry. In
recent years the Fairs usefulness
has been impaired by lack of ply
sical equipment. Now after thor
ough survey of its needs, the man.
agement has worked out a building
program aimed at the moderniza-
tion Of the plant and increase the
spher at the Fairs usefulness. The
exact fraction Of a mill tax to be
asked or the amount to be realized
annually has not yet been definitely
determined"
