bargains. Low levels of security loans made by the banks-evi- denced by the current member bank statements, give good indica- tion that the amount of stock car ried on margin by Wall Street firms has dwindled to very small proportions, consequently there is little fear of any quantity of long stock coming on the market for a considerable period ahead: and this is also true of securities which are aid for in full as the owners thereof certainly have no idea of throwing them overheard at the low prices now prevailing. For the present. no definite price trend is to be expected, but if precedent is to be followed in the least, the time Is not far off when the mar ket should take on a new lease of life as September has usually been productive of greater activity and higher prices when the important financial interests return from their vacations

 For this race, Doolittle is having fast ship the late Speed Holman Chicago last year, fitted for even faster flying. It will have a geared Wasp Junior motor with a super able power to 530 horsepower and miles an hour.
 Bee low wing, sportster, equipped with the same type of motor and super-charger, so that the race at least between these two is expected to be close and thrilling.
 More spectacular, perhaps, than these two may be the flying of Ben- nie Howard, the air mail pilot who last year surprised everyone by winning five events and coming in third in the Thompson trophy race with a small, fleet 90-horsepower plane of his own construction.
 Besides these major speed events, pilots will have 8 chance to set up for the first time speed records in straightaway air dashes, for fu- ture flyers to shoot at. In these dashes the pilots will have to fly specified distances in a level line, both with and against the wind, in order to average their speeds. These speeds will be set up along lines similar to the short dashes in rum ming races.
 The most spectacular stunting of all is expected to be that of young Dorothy Hestler of Portland, Ore, who has no less than AZ tricks in her bag. Miss Hester will try to break her own previous record for women flyers of 62 outside loops in one time up, and the record among both men and women flyers of 56 inverted barrel rolls.

 Mayor Hayes. who was in St Mary's hospital in the heat of the primary battle, was reported to be on the rapid road to recovery to- day. When he gets back into the harness it is expected that the democratic preparations for the new voters and the election will show added life.
 The republicans are now prepar- ing for their primary battle. On the whole, unless the United Front republicans, headed by Edward Udelowitz and backed by William J. Pape, put in a ticket, the g. o. D. primaries promise to be mild with but minor battles.
 Ex-Alderman Arthur E. Blewitt wants the office of registrar of vot- CTS and is ready to oppose the present incumb bent. Thomas F. Dill lane. This will cause a fight. There are also certain persons mentioned for less important offices.
 The republican primaries will take place on Tuesday and the tickets have been prepared for presentation to the 6. 0. D. town committee.

 Police who learned this man had vanished found furnishings packed for shipment.

Africa Threatens =
 U. <. Copper Lead
Explorer Livingstones Mines at Katanga Now Acces.
 sible By Completion of Benguela Railroad

The Katanga copper mines which David Livingstone found in the heart of Africa in 1854 were brought nearly 5000 miles nearer the world markets this summer by the completion of the $55,000,00 Benguela Railway, running direct ly from the Congo copper mines to the Atlantic coast.
 While Congo copper was thus becoming more available, the first copper mines in Rhodesia-just south of the Congo--were brought into production. marking the open ing of a new African copper field even richer than the Congo de- puosits. It is estimated that by 1940 Rhodesian copper production may approach 600,0O0 tons.
 Under the threat of immense low cost production from these mines," Fortune Magazine declares in it's September issue, exclusively United States producers predict that African copper will force the shut down of majority if United States copper mines. Such states as Arizona, Montana, Nevada, and Utah will have on their hands a dying industry. And the only solution they see is stiff tariff on copper"
 African production presents a particularly serious problem com ing at a time when copper mines in the United States and South America are curtailing drastically in the face of an already demoraliz- ed market with prices at record bottoms under 8 cents a pound. The development of a new field field potentially capable of supply ing one-third of the present world demand for copper, at prices too low for most American mines to meet, raises a grave problem for the American copper industry.

decided by the committee later.
 The closing session yesterday was most dramatic.
 The committee was met with fiat refusals of testimony from two of Cannon's co-workers. Miss Ada l.. Burroughs. his former secretary and treasurer of the anti-Smith democrats, repeated a similar Or formance of last May. A mi1d- hammered and portly Methodist minister, the Rev J. Sydney Peters, Nepwort News, Va, would not even tell the committee that he was sec retary of the Cannon organization Both laid themselves open to pos sible contempt proceedings.
 The most startling revelation concerned a check. It popped up early in the day as 5000 con tribution received by w. H. Wood, Charlotte. N. C., banker, for use in the North Carolina campaign, purportedly having been sent to Wood by Cannon.
 Later, 1t was disclosed that the contribution really had been paid out of New York bank account of Claudius Huston, at that time q busy figure in the background of the Hoover southern campaign and subsequently, chairman of the re- publican national committee.
 Huston had opened the account with a $50.000 deposit few days before the check was made out. Wood testified he thought the check was signed Anti-Smith Headquarters committee.
 Later still, Basil Manly, commit tee aide, in going over Miss Bur- rough's final report, pointed to a refund" to Cannon of $5.000 for advances to the North Carolina campaign. This, he said. was the S5,000 advanced in reality by Illus ton, which was represented in the report as an advance by Cannon.

Responsible For Bad Accident On
 Middlebury Road
Reckless Driving, Evadng Responsibility, and Drunk en Driving Are Counts Preferred-Now Held as COroners PrisOner-Crashed Car Being Search- ed By Corn Borer inspectors

Detained here as a coroner's prisoner as the result of an auto- mobile crash on the Middlebury road last evening. Louis M. Rich ards, 358 Elm street, New Haven, faces the possible serious charges of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor, reckless driving and evasion of re- sponsibility. Richard was obliged to spend the night in the custody of the police pending medical report on the condition of Charles Palmer, 55, of Brooklyn, N. r., former local resident, and John Ayala, P, of 43 Haley street, San- ta Barbara, Cal. It Is claimed that Richard crashed into Palmer's machine and then left the scene of the accident without stopping to ascertain the extent of damage caused or the nature of the in- juries sustained by his companion, Ayala.
 Government inspectors working on the Middlebury highway assist ed in the removal of the two in- jured men to the Waterbury hos pital. Last evening for a. time it was feared that they had been critically hurt, but to-day their conditions were considered inn proved.
 Richard when questioned by Coroner John T. MonZani denied that he was the driver of the ma chine. Ayala on recovering con- sciousness at the hospital told the authorities that Richard was the operator and that he was only a guest passenger" who had been picked up along the highway near Danbury early last evening. Ayala also offered the testimony that notwithstanding his advice and protest Richard persisted in talk ing drinks from g bottle.

 Several famous women pilots are also out for prizes in this derby. These are Mrs. Phoebe Omlie of Memphis, first woman transport pilot who won the 1929 national air race derby for light planes and came in ahead in the women's Dixie air derby last year. With her are Gladys O'Donnell, winner of last years Transcontinental derby; Winifred Spooner, one of England's s crack women pilots; Robbie Trout, Maude Tait, Jean LaRenne and other famous aviatrices.
 Most thrilling of all events. how ever, will be the $15,000 Bendix trophy race and the Thompson trophy race, in both of which some of the best flyers in America will try to break existing speed records across country and over a 100-mile course.
 In the Bendix trophy race flyers like the famous Jimmie Doolittle, Walter J. Hunter, Lou Reichers and James Hall will try to beat Frank Hawks transcontinental flight rec ord of 12 hours and 25 minutes from Los Angeles to New York, if they find their time from the west coast city to Cleveland warrants their continuing eastward in this effort. If the Hawks record is broken, there's an additional $5,000 award posted by Vincent Bendix, noted automotive and aeronautic manufacturer and packer of this event.
 Just as exciting will be the 100- mile race of fast planes, around 100-mile course, for a $15.000 prize and trophy which have been put up by Edwin G. Thompson, Cleveland aeronautic leader. Here Americas best pilots, like Jimmie Doolittle, Ben o. Howard. Walter Hunter, Lou Reichers, Lowell Bayles and others. some of them also partic- ipants in the Bendix event, will try to break the existing land plane speed record of PIT miles an hour, held by the French flyer Bonnet, or at least the beat to American record of 266 miles an hour hid by AL

two to nearly five times the rich ness of those in this country, due to the fact that Africa's peculiar institution of slave labor. but 1t does not remotely resemble any thing existing on this side of the Atlantic" Though some Rhodes ian operators maintain that 1t would be cheaper to pay American wages for American efficiency. the fact remains that the native miner is paid only from $2.50 to $7.50 puermonth, and though the com pany also feeds him., his food probably does not cost more than $500 monthly.
 There is little forced labor. but agents readily bribe the native chiefs to order their tribesmen to sign labor contracts, and the Ban tu, himself, is often willing to volunteer when the agent distri- butes beads, blankets, or other trihes."
 Cost figures are presented show ing that African copper can be re- fined and delivered to New York or London at a cost of 6.93 cents per pound. How this compares with the cost in other fields is shown by the following figures col lected by Fortune from the most ralia h1e recent renOrts

ON new LAWS
Changes by Legislature
Alter Seasons.

Indiana hunters today were
warned by Walter Shirts, superin-
tendent of fisheries and game, to
observe open season dates published
in copies of the 1881 laws, rather
than those printed on the back Of
the 1881 hunting, fishing and trap
ping licenses.
Shirts said licenses for this year
we're printed before the 1891 legisla-
ture met and changed some of the
dates. The licenses, however, bear
the words: Subject to change by
the legislature of 1884," referring to
open season dates.
Another change in the old duck
season was made by presidential
proclamation recently, opening the
Indiana season Oct. Is and closing it

CHURCHES OPEN
DOOR TO FRANK
SEX DISCUSSION
Prepare Study Plan to Aid
Youth in Preparation
for Marriage.

BU United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Girls will
discuss what is wrong with spoon
ing and boys may answer the ques-
ton, do girls really enjoy neck
ing?" Under plan for study of
young peoples relationships just
prepared for the Federal Council of
the Churches Of Christ in America.
The study, published by the con-
ference on preparation for marriage
and homemaking, provides for a
frank discussion by the youth of all
angles Of dancing, smoking, drink
ing, petting, motion pictures and
intimate sex relationships.
It's for use, the conference an
nounced, in young peoples societies,
Hwy clubs, Girl Reserve groups
and other church and social groups.
The study was prepared by denomi-
national representatives, the Y. M.
G. A., Y. w. G. A., the American So
cial Hygiene Association and the
American Eugenics Society. 1t was
edited by the Rev. Benjamin S.
Winchester, educational secretary of
the federal council.
In addition to list of problems
Tor discussion by boy and girl
groups, word test in which sixty
six words are listed, is provided as a
means Of learning the reaction Of
the youngsters to certain words.
And there's another list of state
ments intended to furnish an
opinion test" In this, the individ-
ual is to check within certain
time each statement as true, false,
probably true or an open question,
these statements are typical:
Drinking brightens up the con-
Versation."
Sex relations mean more to men
than to women"
"Petting is a vulgar practice in
which decent people will not in
dulge."
Modern dances stimulate sex
consciousness and make self -controI
difficult"

debate by the young peoples groups
include in addition to the two sub
.1ects mentioned, such propositions
as these:
For girls: What harm can come
from using powder and paint?
What if a boy just steal a kiss?
For boys: What sensations come
from spooning? Why is it that the
prettiest girls always are the ones
who expect to be petted?
