l:othing in the world is
more fun than shopping for
Christmas presents for children.
The toy departments are good
enough, but If you have a mind
to Civ, them something practi-
cal, you'll find the children's
clothing departments equally
enhancing. We spent an after
noon investigating, and were
torn by a desire to sketch every
article we found. AS that's
impossible, we've selected few,
a very few of the many things,
and hope you'll realize that
they are just typical, and by
no means give you an idea OF
the wealth of suggestion that
you can find.

the pocketbook holds an extra
dime.

BUTLER DEGREES IN
SCIENCE INCREASE

Trend among Butler students
points toward growing popularity
of the bachelor Of science degree,
with a corresponding decrease in
the number of undergraduates seek
ing bachelor of arts diplomas, &C
cording to statistics compiled by the
registrar of the university.
In 1923, when the first science
diplomas were granted, four stu
dents received their B. S. degrees.
BY 1929, the number of science
graduates had increased to 81. In
1880, the number increased to 65.
This year, there was a greater in
crease than ever before. Bachelor
of science graduates numbered 1856.
Figures show that in 1929 there
were 231 bachelor of arts degrees
granted. This number decreased to
1879 in 1880 and in 1881 there were
178 students graduated with B. A.
degrees.
University authorities think the
trend is accounted for by the
smaller foreign language require
ment for the B. S. diploma.
For the degree in arts, two high
school units and twenty-five hours
in college are required. This means
that a student may receive his
bachelor of science degree with only

GANG SHOOTING
OF CHILDREN IS
LAID TO DOPE
Cops Grill Intended. Victim.
Get Story of Battle
Over Drug Trade.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Bronx
Home News, in a copyrighted story
today, said that police had wrung
from Anthony Trabino a story of
events preceding the Safeguarding Of
babies in East 10th street last week,
which pointed to a drug purveyors'
feud.
Trabino, listed as 81 years old, is
an employe or former partner of
Vincent Coll, Harlem and Bronx
racketeer, and is said to have i'm
plicated Coll in the raid in which a
carload Of gunners rode through
Little Italy, moving down children
as they sought to wipe out an
enemy. Trabino. according to the
story, was the man they sought to
put on the spot.
Investigation did not place Coll
in the murder car, but the mans
story, it was indicated, named Coll
in connection with the drug dealers
raid.
Trabino was pictured by the au-
thorities as seeking cowardly pro-
lection from the gunners slugs by
holding a child before him as a
shield. According to this version,
Trabino was sitting in an automo-
bile when the barrage opened
though originally, it had been sup
posed the raiders were after a man
in the doorway Of the Helmar So
cial Club.
Detectives had Trabino under
questioning for twenty-four hours.
Gradually he weakened under their
fire Of inquiries and is said to have
told them that drugs, not beer, lay
at the root of the feud which sent
the car load Of gunner on their
ruthless expedition.

the railway situation; anti-injunc-

schemes; antitrust laws; unem-

sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any
fruit for dessert.
That's all you do. Fat seems to
melt away. The coarse lines OF
overweight give way to the refined
ones of SlenderneSs. You lose as
much as a pound day. You feel
better than for years. For in this
treatment you achieve two impor-
tant results. The Jad Salts clear
your system of toxins. THE diet
takes off fat with food that turns to
energy instead of weight.
If you're tired of being embar-
raised by fat, try this way. You'll
be glad that you did.
'Note paFticularly-the salts are
urged purely as a poison -banishing
agent-not as reducing. The
change in food does the work. You
can get Jad Salts at any drug stc.s.

A KRON, o., Aug. 6.-Every stage
IA in the design and construction
of the new U. S. Akron, which is
soon to take the air here, has been
under the close and careful scrutiny
of the navy.
Expert inspectors have checked
and rechecked every joint and every
part Of the ship for freedom from
flaws; every design and estimate
had to go through the hands of the
naval officers both here and in the
navy's bureau Of aeronautics at
Washington
When the contract was signed in
October, 1928, for construction OF
the first of the navy's two new
ships, a naval aircraft inspectors
office was set up in the goodyear
Zeppelin plant here to check every
development in the construction of
the Akron.
Suggest Improvements
Under the direction Of Lieutenant
T. @. w. Settle, experienced airship
officer and engineer, the navy as
sembled noted experts in airship
construction. They have kept track
Of everything.
Furthermore, they suggested
changes or improvements in design
and construction. They have had
a corps of naval inspectors in the
field checking over materials and
parts produced by some 800. manu-
facturers.
Three naval officers have helped
Lieutenant Settle in directing this
work.
Inspections Rigid
One Of them, Lieutenant G. v.
Whittle, is the navy's foremost ex-
pert on gas cells and airship fab
RIGS. Whittle also has kept an eye
on the Akron's engineering and de-
sign details.
Lieutenant Roland G. Mayer was
in charge Of the erection and as
sembly details at the dock.
Lieutenant c. V. S. Knox has
watched the work at the factories
besides helping Lieutenant Mayer at
the dock.
Under these officers has been a
corps of warrant and chief petty
officers and civilian inspectors.
Inspection of material and work
on the Akron was as rigid as that
made during the construction of a
warship.
Flaws Hunted in Orders
Although Goodyear Zeppelin hac
its own corps of inspectors, nothing
was passed until a second irspec-
ton by the navy's men. No work
could go ahead until after both hac
passed on it.
An example of the thoroughness
of this work is the inspection of a
girder.
First the sheet duralumin was in
Spected at the factory, and thus
gone over by both Goodyear-Zeppe-
lin and naval inspectors on arrival
in Akron.
Next, during it's manufacture into
girder and treatment for corro-
sion prevention, every stage in the
operation was inspected both fol
material and process flaws.
Joints Gone Over
Third, on assembly, the joints
were inspected for material and
process flaws. So careful was this

LABOR DRAFTS
RELIEF PLANS
Shorter Hours, Assurance
of Jobs Among Topics on
Council Program.

By scripps-H ot0ard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The
American Federation of Labor's
program for relief Of next winters
estimated 100000 unemployed and
their families will be the first sub
ject to be taken up by the executive
council meeting today for a ten-day
session in Atlantic City.
The council meeting will begin at
once to prepare its report to the
annual A. F. of L. convention to
meet in vancouver, B. c., early in
October Briefly, the program. as
announced in the federation S
monthly survey of business, includes
the four following major steps:
Shorter work hours. With mod
ern machines in our factories work
which took the average man fifty
two hours in 1919 can now be done
in thirty-four, but average hours
were shortened only from f1fty-two
to fifty a week. Shorter work hours
will distribute available work so that
no one need be laid Off"
Assure jobs. Practically every
employer can assure work to at least
a minimum force from November to
April. If the 100000 who prob
ably will have regular work were
sure of their jobs anxiety would be
lifted. they would spend money and
promote business"
Create work. Public, in parks,
roads, ETC.; private, in homes"
Secure adequate funds for relief.
Under the last suggestion comes
the question: Will union labor de-
mand a federal aid appropriation?
Since President Hoover has so far
turned deaf ear to President
Green's insistent demand for an
unemployment conference, it is be-
lieved by many that the federation
