WOODS SLABS
WAGE CUTTING
Hoover JohIeSS Board Head
CritiCiSeS Action.

By Scrtpps-HOward Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 1.-Colonel
Arthur Woods, head of the Hoover
emergency employment committee,
today added his voice to that Of
DR.. julius Klein, William Green,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and others deploring
action by certain employers re-
ported to be cutting wages.
Since agreements were reached
eighteen months ago in the confer
ence called by Mr.. Hoover between
employers and labor leaders there
has been holding up of the wage
scale to a degree never before known
in any depression" said Colonel
Woods.
To-day some employers are re-
ported to be letting down the bars
and cutting wages. These are, hap
PLY, in the small majority. 1t
would be indeed unfortunate if en-
ployers generally took advantage OF
the present situation to engage in
general wage-Slashing move
ment.
Far seeing employers realize that
continuation of high wages, the
maintenance of the typical Aneri-
can living standard, the preserva-
ton of good home consumers
market are the best and quickest
means Of bringing back prosperity.

ULTRA-SHORT
WAVE RADIO IS
HELD SUCCESS
New Device Will Increase
Broadcast Channels
Nine FoId.
BIZ United Presa

BIZ United Press
ST. MARGARETS BAY, England,
April IA new ultra-short wave
radio telephone and telegraph which
will increase broadcasting channels
nine-fold, was hailed today by
scientists as an invasion of the no
man's-land of radio.
The new device, which is termed
the 'micro-ray RADIO" was demon
strated successfully Tuesday be-
tween st. Margaret's and Calais,
France, on a wave length of 10
centimeterS (4:087 inches, the low
est ever utilized in radio
Engineers claimed the new radio,
operating on such a short wave
length, will open approximately a
quarter million new channels.
In Calais, the conversation was
carried over an aerial less than one
inch long.
Power necessary to transmit the
conversation was about one-half
watt, which barely is sufficient to
light flashlight bulb.
The new device, which has been
named the micro-ray radio system,
will remove the danger of conges-
ton Of the air channels for many
years, engineers claim, and will re-
duce the cost of radio telephony and
biography materially because of the
low cost of operation and the SIM
plicity Of the apparatus.
The transmitter consists of a
combination of mirrors which cast
micro rays from a tube similar to
the ordinary radio tube on a
straight line toward the direction of
the receiving station.
Another set of mirrors at the re-
ceiying station picks up the message
and concentrates it on the one
inch aerial. 1t is then transformed
into speech by means of a tube.

About two hours after eating many
people suffer from sour stomachs.
They call it indigestion. It means
that the stomach nerves have been
over-stimulated. There is excess
acid. The way to correct it is with
an alkali, which neutralizes many
times its volume in acid.
The right way is Phillips Milk
of Magnesia - just a tasteless
liquid; pleasant, efficient and
harmless. But it kills excess acids.
1t has remained the standard with
physicians for more than so years.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-04-01

It is the quick method. Results
come almost instantly. It is the
approved method. You will never
use another when you know.
Be sure to get genuine Phillips
Milk of Magnesia prescribed by
physicians for over fifty years in
correcting excess acids. Csc and
SOC bottles-any drug store. The
genuine is always a liquid-never
made in tablet form. Look for the
name Phillips on wrapper and

Pacific Coast Region Struck
by Record Rain Storm;
Hundreds Are Marooned.

By United Press
PORTLAND, Ore, April 1.-Cities
in the Pacific northwest, deluged by
one Of the worst rain storms on
record, joined today in rescue and
relief work for the hundreds
marooned or driven from their
homes by the rising waters.
At least one man was killed,
homes were washed away, streets
were flooded and train and stage
service brought to standstill at
many points.
The most urgent rescue work
centered at WaIa Walla, Wash,
where many residents were marooned
in the downtown section by flood
waters. Many spent the night in
office buildings, unable to reach
their homes.

APRIL FOOLERS
FIND PARADOX
IN GEOGRAPHY
World Oddities Are Match
for Wits of JOkeSterS;
Irish Potato Not Irish.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April l. - April
Fools day rolls around once each
year to give practical jokers a
chance to play their pranks.
But certain geographical oddities
make every day in the year an
April Fools day for many persons.
For example:
Irish potatoes originated in the
mountains Of Peru and Chile. A
famine which followed the failure
of a potato crop in Ireland led TO
study of varieties which would re-
sist disease, and to the production
of the better grades Of potato
known today.
Green Canaries
BaIsam of Peru originated in the
Central American Republic OF Ell
Salvador. 1t was named for its
distribution center, rather than for
its source.
Panama hats are not made IN
Panama. Some of the old forty
miners" returning to the east by
way of Panama bought hats made
by the women Of Ecuador. Most
Of the so-called Panama hats still
are made in Ecuador
The Canary Islands, where the
giant German plane "DO-X" landed
on its attempted fight to New
York, received their name from the
Latin word CAMS, or dog. The
canary birds found there are green.
River Flows Upward
The capital of the United States
is not in any city. Washington,
technically speaking, is post
Office and a railway station. The
capital is governed by three COM
missiOners.
The real "city" of London is a
tiny patch, a mile square, in the
center of the Metropolitan district.
Geography constantly plays April
Fool with the Mississippi river and
with some of the southern branches
of the Amazon. Their sources
actually are nearer the center of
he Garth than their mouths. A
river which rises some distance
from the equator-the earth is
omewhat "fatter" at the equator
han the poles-and flows toward
1t may. if it is long enough, be
higher" at the end than at the
start. Regarded in this light the
river flows uphill"
April Fools day makes playful
FRANKS worth while. But if your
oormentor goes too far, ask him the
answer to a few geographic fool
ers." It doesn't have to be April
Fools day, however.

FOR WINNER

NEW YORK, July 1s.-The
Sharkey-Walker bout here Wed
nesday night gained in i'm
portance today. when it was an
nounced there was no chance Of
Max Schmeling defending his
heavyweight title against Primo
Camera this year.
Joe Jacobs. manager OF the
German, said he had officially
notified Madison Square Garden
Max will not be ready to fight
until June of next year.
The winner Of the bout here
Wednesday may fight Camera
late this summer, although
there was some doubt expressed
that if Walker won he would
fight the giant Italian, mas
much as he would be out
weighed almost prOhibitively.
According to word from Walk
er's training camp at Orange
burg, however, the former middle
weight champion said he certainly
expected to beat Sharkey and
that Camera would not be too
big for him to take on in Sep

under the guidance of Captain
Cortney early this week.
They started from Point Look
out, went across to Colonial
Beach, up the western shore Of
the Chesapeake, and across to
Tilghman Island, up to Devils
hole, opposite to Sharp's Islarsd
light and then back.
1t took them four days, and
they fiShed in every well.knOWn
fishing ground in the bay, but
were adequately rewarded only
at Devils Hole.
There they caught 1913 fish,
seven Of which were trout and
the rest big hardheads. One
trout weighed five pounds.
They discovered that the fish
bite only at night, after twilight,
with the turn of the tide, and stop
biting at sunrise.

FLORIDA c | R |
SWIM STAR

NEW YORK, July 18.-Conced-
ing one of the most remarkable
upsets in the history of women'S
aquatics, water sports experts are
hailing today Miss Katherine
Rawls, 14-year-old Florida young
ster. She set a new worlds mark
in the 300 meters at the national
outdoor meet last night, stamping
herself one of the swimming SEN
sations Of the age.
The Florida girl set the pace
from the outset and finished Is
yards in advance of the Brooklyn
champion, Eleanor Holm, who
has been supreme in the medley
for years.
Another world mark is looked
for tonight as the result of Miss
Helene Madison's impressive
triumph in her 1,0O0-yard swim
against time, in which she
smashed the former worlds
standard which also has stood for
four years, by nearly l minute
and 16 seconds.
The ease with which the Seat
tie flash slid through the wa
ter to a new time of 1928 As
makes it practically certain
that she can lower her own
record for the $50 yards race
in which she will compete to-
night.
In the 22O yards breast-stroke,
Miss Margaret Hoffman, Scran-
ton, Pa, is likely to defend her
championship handily, although
the astonishing performance of
Miss Rawls makes her faVorite
for the runner-up position.
The outdoor championship will
conclude at the Bronx Beach re-
sort this evening with the excep-
tion of the fancy diving cham
pionships contest from the 10
foot board, which will be held at
Long Beach tomorrow.

often causes you to drop the
head and shoulder toward the
ball, which is one cause for the
very g. high-flying shot. If the
head drops, naturally the arc
of your swing lowers, and the
club head scoops underneath
the ball. 1t might even dig into
the ground back of the. ball,
which indicates a pronounced
case of head and shoulder drop
ping. It is far better to keep
your head still and use a re-
stricted swinging action than
to move your head and body in
order to have greater swinging
action. 1t often is a fine start
to put your golf on that
foundation-a restricted, shorter
back swing and easier, more
natural action, with the head
still. Beginning that way, the
action grows and develops along
right lines with practice.
