HOOVER BACKS
i FARM BOARD
/. POLICIES
President Seeks to Sell Peo-
pie on Accomplishments;
Expected to Make Speech

President Hoover expects to
"seH to the country" the Admin
istration's farm relief program, re-
volving around activities of the
Federal Farm Board, before Con-
gresS reconvenes, it was learned
today.
The President looks on the
Farm Boards record as highly
successful, it was said, despite It's
unhappy effort to stabilize the
price of wheat. He was reported
as particularly pleased with the
boards activities in encouraging
the cooperative association move,
ment and in organizing an orderly
marketing process for many Of the
major farm products.
Publicity Is Planned
A national publicity campaign,
in which Mr.. Hoover may par
ticipate. will be inaugurated by
the Administration in the near
future to explain the achieve
ments" of the board. This was
the idea behind the decision of
Republican national headquarters
to set up a council in the Mid
west to defend the Administra,
tion's farm policies. The council
was headed by Senators Capper
(RO of Kansas, and Dickson (RO
of Iowa.
The President may make a
speech himself on the record Of
the Farm Board on his tour of
the Middle West in June.
Aside from the buying of wheat.
1t was said, the board has aided
hundreds of thousands of farms
through crop loans and in mar
keting crops.
Loan Aid To Be Cited
1t was also contended the board
has aided the dairy interests,
tobacco, vegetable and fruit grow
ers and poultry raiSerS, in addi-
ton to the liv stock, cotton and
corn groups, by loans to co-opera-
tive associations to aid marketing
operations. All this would be
explained in the publicity cam
paign.
1t will be pointed out that the
board, while unable to maintain
dollar wheat" actually held the
American market 81 cents a
bushel above the world price,
through the aid of tariff, paying
an average of 81 cents bushel
for all the 100000 900 odd bushels
it bought last year. The actual
prices paid by the board ranged
from 73 cents to $1.25 a bushel.
the latter being the figure

$500, ,OOO,O 900 Available
The President is determined to
"stand by" the board another
year. 1t will have S1OO, ,OOO, ,OO0

operations, with S5O,OOO,0OO left
over from last years funds and
some S15O,OOO,OOO more to be

 Outside of occasional games of golf, politics is about his only form of recreation.
 He dabbles in politics because he loves it. He gets tremendous kick out of conferring with pol iticians, maintaining intimate con- tact with the President, and dis charging this and that task.
 Republicans from all sections of the country know him, call him Jim" talk intimately with him about party affairs.
 He works quietly, and unless you should be on the lookout for him, probably you would be unaware of his presence.
 The nearest thing to an official title he has is general counsel of the Republican National Commit tee. He has been that for several years. He divides his time between Washington and Pittsburgh att tempts to keep no regular hours at either place.

REMEMBERING AIRWAR DIR AMA
 AT CAPT Q l
Unusual Picture of Fight ing Aces Shown in
 Hell's Angels

One of the most glorious picture entertainments it has ever been this reviewers privilege to see was flashed on the screen at the Capitol last evening. It is called "Hell's Angels" and it's the film that Pro ducer-Director Howard Hughes took three years to make at a cost of $4,O00,000 But the magnitude, the spectacle, the gradeur of this breath taking air drama, with its countless droning planes, mighty zeppelins and stirring sky conflicts more than Justifies everything that has been put into it. It had last nights au- dience gasping for breath when it was all over AS an achievement it is doubtful whether it will ever have an equal; as a dramatic ac- count of the aviators part in the war it tells the story on such a grandiose scale that all future pie lures of this sort can be but feeble anti -climaxes.
 Zeppelin Is Seen
 Night has fallen over London Suddenly Zeppelin noses it's way out of the clouds. The crew is testing the bombing apparatus.
 Crispiy, orders are parked out. The British sound -detectors pick up the sounds of the monsters motors. And defending planes zoom off to dis perse the enemy A terrific battle is waged in which all the planes but one is forced down. The ma chine gun of the last one has jam med A steady stream of lead belches forth from the angry mouth of the sky whale. Tn desperation the helpless pilot points his plane toward the big ship and rams into her at top speed Thunderous noises, sizzling, leaping flames, and down go the entangled masses of steel and matter with the crew caught like rats in trap. What a thrill What drama
 The blowing up of the muni- tions plant and the terrific dog fight between 50 planes or more, zooming, plunging, crashing, somer- saulting down to destruction pro vide the most astounding thrills that have ever captivated an audi ence.
 There is a colorful story running through the film about two broth CTS of totally different natures.

No Reward Seeker

Financially independ t, his friends here say that he hopes for no reward, that he told MT. Hoover at the outset there was no post at home or abroad that he sought or would accept.
 Ten years in the House from 1905 to 1915, during which time he rose to the place of Republican whip under Speaker Uncle Joe'' Cannon was enough. He still re- members those days and is fond of comparing Congress then as he sees it today.
 We might not have done as much work or worked even as hard as,~Legislators of today" he says, "but the country conceded us a respect that it does not give Congress now"

Christian Science Lecture
 Ciuen Here by Miss Glenn

Under the auspices of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Ju- neau, a lecture on Christian Sci ence entitled, Mans Spiritual Ma ture as Revealed by Christian Sci- ence," was given last night in the Scottish Rite Temple, by Miss Mar garet Murney Glenn, c. s. B., of Boston, Massachusetts, Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass, U. S. A.
 The lecturer said in part:
 The question uppermost in the thought of many today is, What is man? The attention given by the general public to the subject of evolution as well as the efforts of the individual to find the reason for his being and the purpose of his life evidence the deep interest felt in this question. Natural sci ence explains man as wholly ma- terial creation; medicine treats him as material body, with a mentality resident in the brain; theology believes him to be ma terial and spiritual The natural scientist is correct in believing that there must be a science to explain mans nature, but this science is the Science of Spirit, not of mat :er. The theologian is correct in maintaining that God created man in His image, but this image, in order to be an image, must be wholly spiritual, for God is Spirit, not flesh.
 Science of Christianity
 "The Science of Christianity does not deprive the natural scientist of science, but gives him higher con- ception of it. Neither does it rob the religionist of his belief that man is Gods image, but it re- veals man in the perfection of his being as that image. The Discover ! CT and Founder of Christian Sci ence, Mary Baker Eddy, writes: Nature reflects man and art pen- cils him, but it remains for Science to reveal man to man. and the Psalmist indicated mans purely spiritual nature when he said, What is man, that thou art mind full of him?'
 What is mans substance, that God is mindful of it? If the an- swers of the physical sciences are correct then are wA of all crea- lures, most miserable, for according to their analyses mortal man consists of matters substance which is subject to discord, decay, and disintegration. Can God really be mindful of a substance that is dis cordant, decadeit, destructible, and can this unsubstantial, so-called substance constitute man, who is Gods most noble creation? As suredly not, and the Science. of man, opposed to the so-called sScl- ence of mortals, reveals mans sub stance as consisting of spiritual ideas, which are as immutable as their source, the one divine and iii- finite Spirit, God Mans sub- stance cannot be perceived through microscope, for it is spiritual and mental

IS STEADY

NEW YORK, June 9 0.N.SO. t..
The New York cotton market dis
played a steady tone during the
early trading today more from
an absence of the liquidating
pressure that accompanied the
previous openings than from any
aggressive buying.
Future contracts were practi-
cally unchanged during the first
quarter hour trading, but some
good trade buying took place in
near months and the general list
gradually registered appreciable
gains. Commission houses and
professionals bought and local
traders made covering purchases.
Wire firms bought distant months
while the South, Liverpool and
the Continent sold.
At midday. July sold at 853,
up IS; october at 8.88, up 13; De-
cember at Oil. up 13; January at
9.22, up IS, and March at 9.39,
up II.
The technical position and
firmness in the stock market
dominated cotton The persistent
buying by the trade was an out

Changing Appetites Rule
Livestock Production

outdoor to indoor life has been
accompanied by changed ap-
petiteS.
Mecanization, he said, has
greatly reduced the amount of
manual labor used so that, even
among the industrial class, less
heat and muscle-producing food
is required.
In contrast to this decrease in
the proportion of the population
engaged in heavy manual labor.
there has been a decided increase
in the proportion of the popula-
ton following professional pur-
suits, but with appetites keen for
breakfast bacon and ham, steaks
and roaStS.
I'm addition to these shifts
in occupation which have di-
rectly changed the appetiteS of
our people, our methods of Iiv-
ing and habits of eating have
tended to reduce the cOnsump-
tiOn Of staple food products Of

ON CURB
BOOST OILS

NEW YORK, June 9 G.N.SD .
The curb market continued to
give rather impressive account
of itself today, with early reac-
tionary tendencies largely offset
by a resumption of aggressive
bullish leadership in the oils and
specialties.
Gulf rose almost 3 points to
481s, with Vacuum up 234 at
1874, Humble up 21a at Sc. Stand
ard of Ohio up "a at 40i4, and
Standard of Indiana up about
a point at 241a.
Cities Service was somewhat
of laggard, particularly in view
of the buoyant tone of the oil
group, and was able to show
gain of but "a at it's midday high
of 1112.
The utilities failed to come
up to expectations, particularly
in view of the strength in the
general market list. Although
most active members of this
group were able to show some net
improvement at their best levels
of the day. They were hardly in
keeping with the dominant mar
ket position usually Occupied by
this section.
American Gas & Electric moved
ahead to 587s for an advance of
158 points, and Electrict Bond &
Share which was up slightly less
than a point a 36H.
Great Atlantic & Pacific stores
was up 7 points at 1872, Aluminium

Investment trusts failed to par
ticipate more than slightly in the

MANHATTAN, Kan, June 8
G.N.S0.-Any consideration of
the possibilities of adjusting live

and magnitude of the consumer
demand for food and the i'm
portance of meat in the diet, C.
B. Denman, livestock member of

Cooperation.
He explained that while the
growth of the nations population
has increased the number of food
consumers, many changes in
American habits of living have
tended to reduce per capita meat
consumption.
In 1880, over 10 per cent of the
