SandstOne-Halley, Gilliver and
Vanderschaegen of Sandstone's base

rare plays Sept. Is when they ex-
ecuted a triple put-out. This is often
wished for by baseball players in a
tight game especially. if the score
is tied and two or three men on base
with no one out, but it is seldom &C
complished. Even though Sandstone
made the triple play the Quarry City
boys were defeated any way as the
heavy hitting of the Bremen team was
sufficient to bring them victory.
SandStOne--The Standard Oil sta
ton in the north part of Sandstone
village was robbed of some gas and
oil Sunday night of last week. En-
trance was made with a crowbar
which was stolen from the Great

outside of the building but it is
thought that the man was frightened
away before he could dispose of this
gas.

School authorities, when ques- toned to-day, stated that Columbia schoo will not be closed, only two rooms will cease ito hold sessions for about two, weeks
 The infantile paralysis situation in the city, which has cleared up and approached 8 normal point for the past few weeks, was again brought to the front by the closing of the sixth and seventh grades in the Columbia school by the school department on the suggestion of the health department.
 This resulted from the fact that two cases were reported during the week end just past and both youngsters are students in these grades. They are Harry Minor. son of Commissioner and Mrs Harry Minor and John Monzani, son of Atty and Mrs John Monzani. The boys are eleven and twelve, re- spectively. Both are at the Water bury hospital where it was said their conditions are unchanged but neither is in immediate danger. Two year old Clifford Wickstrom, of Citizens avenue, who has been in the respirator for about three weeks, has been taken off the dan ger list and will be sent home probably next week. a-
 Dr Godfrey visited the Colum- bia school this morning and made a thorough examination of the school. He stated that only the rooms in which the two afflicted boys are students were closed.

SWEDE BUILDS PONTOONS TO
 RAISE SUBS
Invention Draws Attention of Worlds Naval
 Experts

Stockholm.-A new device for the salvaging of sunken subma- rines and their crews has been patented by a Swedish civil engi- neers, Ragnar Blomquist.
 It consists of a number of fold ing pontoons built into the hull of the submarine and always ready for use. Being collapsible, they occupy little, space and can be me- chanically filled with air through a pneumatic device operated from the inside of the ship.
 When completely filled, they in- crease the displacement of the craft considerably and are thus able to raise it to the surface.
 The pontoons are extremely light in weight, and, being many in number, a few of them will aI- ways rema niintact and ready to be inflated in case of collision.
 The invention includes a special arrangement calculated to regu- late automatically the atmospheric pressure to correspond with the pressure. of the surrounding water while the submarine is being raised by aid of the pontoons.
 Blomquist has experimented with a model apparatus at 70 me- ters, and it has functioned very satisfactorily. The invention now will be offered to the Swedish navy, which already has taken an interest in its development.

 OF BOSTON ARE

Labor Official. Ordered. Them to Quit and Has
 Suspended One of the
 Unions I

Boston, Oct 13-UP)-Repre- sentatives of Boston's 2500 striking were to ask Mayor James M. Curley today to assist them in settling a wage dispute with shop operators.
 The men have been out more than a week in protest against a proposed reduction of pay for holi- day, Sunday and meal-time work They want a continuance of double overtime pay, or $40 per hour, while the companies want this cut to double time, or $170 per hour.
 In continuing the strike the un- ion men have ignored instructions of Joseph P. Ryan of New York, president of the International Long shoremen's association. He revoked the charter of local 800, one of three Boston branches of the as- sociation, on the ground that 1t had not paid a percapita tax for nine months. Officials of the two locals criticized Ryan for his &C., tion, stating it was based on a technicality. s

EXPERT SAYS PLANNING WILL
 BANISH SLUMP

Lafayette, Ind, (UP)-The prin- ciples of planning used in modern industry will have to be applied to the nations social and economic life if the depression is to be ban- ished. according to view held by Professor George H. Shepard, of Purdue university here.
 Professor Shepard expressed this opinion in a letter to theeditor of Factory and Management" in re- sponse to an editorial on this sub ject carried by that publication.
 There has been much, discus- sion about wghat needs to be done to remove the fundamental cause of the depression" wrote Profess sor Shepard. Tt will, I believe, be accepted that there is a lack of balance between production and consumption.
 We have, in up-to-date man. agement, a planning department, whose special function is to obtain that balance. Probably none but industrial leaders realize the lack of society. We have in the modern factory an organ which is doing in small way what needs to be done on a worldwide scale"
 Professor Shepard admitted that the problem bristles with difficult ty. The method of attack. how ever, he said, Is to plan the proj- ect on small scale. If it succeeds there, probably it will bring results in a universal system.

STATE GAS TAX
 STARTS DISPUTE

Memphis, Tenn.-Methods of collecting two state taxes-that levied against gasoline and cigar ettes-have become an issue !n Tennessee. and settlement of the dispute may set precedent for other states.
 Objections to paying six cent gasoline tax were raised first by air. lines, who said in their complaint their planes were not users of the highways. that they were being un- fairly assessed. The dispute later was joined in by the railroads, who asserted they, too, were not being taxed properly.
 Recently the tax commissioner ruled retail dealers of cigarettes had to place the tax stamp on the original container, not on the cello phane wrapper. This was strongly objected to by retail dealers, who pointed out sale of cigarettes net ted them but small margin of profit. They said this extra work would result in loss in handling the cigarettes.
 Manufacturers of cigarettes ob- jected to the order. The tax com- missioner said he asked the manu- lecturers to treat the wrapper so the stamp, once placed on the package, could not be removed. He said the reason for placing the stamp on the inside of the wrap per was to enforce this law, which. he asserted. had been violated by retailers. wh otook the stamp off after sale of the package.

 FREE PRISONER
Cattle Testing War De- velops More Trouble Troops Try to Maintain Order

New London, Iowa, Oct 13- (UP)-Iowa's cattle testing war has spread to new county where state troops again guard today while veterinarians worked to the accomplishment of boohs and cat calls. About 500 enraged farm CTS broke into the New London jail yesterday and released Ronald Hart, a young man arrested for heckling veterinarians carrying out state orders to test all cattle for tuberculosis.
 The farmers, many said to be from neighboring Cedar county, stormed the jail, twisted bars, bat tered doors and carried Hart off by force. Soldiers were rushed here immediately. They set up machine guns in the village square. Child ren and farmers boohed. There was no further physical resistence, how ever, and the soldiers dispersed the crowd.
