II Cultural mutterings Of the
Mig woman Of the Sourlands," and
by natives here, predicted a few
DAYS after the Lindbergh baby
was stolen that hill people are

utterances found fulfillment here

They did not search thoroughly
over the section in which the
baby's skeleton was found Thurs
day. They caused to be placed
through that section, however,
private telephone lines. the wires
of which lay within seventy-five
feet of the mutilated body Of the
son Of the Lindberghs.
Lindbergh's very first thought
following his discovery that the
child was missing was to search
around his home. He spent
half hour wandering with a fash
light around his estate. before
even calling the police into the
case.

idea. AS an example Of their
sentiment, these quotations from

While two-thirds Of the popula-
ton Of the country is trying the
eighteen-day diet, as well as other
weight reducing tricks, and the
other one-third is trying with equal
enthusiasm to gain in avoirdupois,
this provocative question Of dieting
soon is to be answered for the
satisfaction of indianapolis.
One of the outstanding features
of The Times cooking school, which
is to open here next Tuesday in
the English theater, is a new. safe
and sane solution of the entire
problem of diets for both over
weights and underweights.
Mrs. Dorothy Ayres Loudon, home
economics expert who is to conduct
the school, has discovered a pleasant
and effective method which she will
reveal to home makers here.
This widely known authority con-
dennis the erratic dieting which has
become the vogue.
Danger in Dieting
The prevalence of wrong meth
DDS of dieting is becoming a serious
menace to health" warns the blond,
attractive Mrs. Loudon. 81 can SYM
pathize with any man or woman
who wants to retain or regain a
1.-the, youthful figure, but the err
ratio dieting which is so popular
is dangerous.
There is a perfectly safe method
of reducing weight which does not
starve nor endanger the health of
anyone, and the simple principles
on which it is based are to be part
Of my lecture and demonstrations
at the cooking school"
Not only is Mrs. Loudon bringing
first aid to the overweight, but she
also is bringing comfort to those
who are trying vainly to make the
scale indicator ascend.
THE method Of gaining in weight
is as simple rs that for losing" Mrs.
Loudon assured the underweights.
There is no more need for the too
slender man or woman to stuff than
there is for the too stout to starve
Problem Easily Adjusted
"By a readily understood process,
which I have developed. this whole
problem of diets may be easily and
simply adjusted"
Not only will Mrs. Loudon reveal
diet secrets to the hundreds Of
home makers who invariably crowd
the English theater to hear her
speak and watch her demon
strate modern cooking methods on
model stage kitchen, but she dis
cusses with them reasons why pop
ular diets in use today are harm
full. What not to do, as we'll as
what to do, forms part Of her pro-
gram.
Diet problems are but a part Of
the comprehensive survey Of home
makers problems which Mrs. Lou
don has prepared. The latest short
cut methods Of cookery which make
the woman today as up-to-date in
her business Of home making as is
her husband in his vocation, are to
be presented by this experienced
authority.
The Better Housekeeping insti-
tute will be held Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday afternoons,
starting at 2 and Thursday night
at 7.

6. 0. P. and Democrats
Try to Adjust Differences
in Congress.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May l3.-Repun-
lean and Democratic leaders who
now agree that federal relief must
be enacted quickly. tried today to
reconcile differences in their rival
plans for aiding the 100000 I'M
employed.
Following President Herbert Hoo
ver's conference Thursday night
with Republican members Of the
senate banking and currency COM
mittee. the Democratic steering
committee and policy committee
members met again today with
their leader, Senator Joseph I.
Robinson.
The White House conference
took. up plans to use the recon-
struction finance corporation to
carry out the Presidents relief
plan. The Democratic conference
weighed the relative merits OF the
Hoover and Robinson relief pro-
grams. and also those proposed by
Senators Robert F. Wagner and
Royal Copeland.
Plans Not in Harmony
Apparently neither entirely was
harmonious.
President Hoover's announce
ment of a federal relief plan of his
own. after steadfast rejection of all
earlier proposals that the federal
government aid in relieving hunger,
followed closely on Robinson'S
declaration to the senate that con-
RreSs must act to aid the distressed
before adjournment.
Hoover proposes to extend the
borrowing power OF the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation by $1,000
000,0O0. He then proposes that the
corporation shall underwrite or
make loans for income producing
and self-sustaining enterprises
which will increase employment,
whether undertaken by public
bodies or by private enterprises.
He proposes also to allow the
corporation to assist states in re-
lieving the needy by underwriting
state bonds or making loans TO the
extent Of s25O,OOOOO0 or s3oo00o.-
600.
Still in Doubt
Robinson, on the other hand. pro-
posed a $4,000, 100000 bond issue to
finance state or municipal projects
Of a "self-hquidating nature" such
as toll bridges, traffic tunnels, and
tenement replacement. In addition.
he proposed a S300.000000 bond
issue TO make funds available to
states unable TO care for their
needy.
After a two-hour conference with
senate Democrats Thursday. Robin
son said he had not been able 70
determine whether the purposes he
had in mind could be attained
through Reconstruction Finance
Corporation action.
Liberals Of both parties. though
expressing qualification that the
leaders who opposed them when they
fought for hunger relief earlier in
the session had decided TO support
legislation for this purpose, were not
satisfied with either OF the plans.

 The underuourished girls big brown eyes were afire as she told how she had been chained by the legs many times during a.twO year period which ended yesterday when her story finally was told in court.
 She recalled vividiy the day her mother first chained her when a little more than 10 years old. Mother said was running around with boys" she said. .'and then she put the chain on my ankle. I wasn't out with g. boy at all.s
 Yesterday her mother and fath- CT. Anthony. were taken to the Camden police court on a warrant sworn to by Mrs Louise F. Walsh. secretary of the. Camden Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren.
 Mrs Walsh. who learned of the case from neighbors, said the child came to her on Wednesday after she had broken the lock on the chain of two inch links and had run away.
 When Persiana came before Judge Garfield Pancoast, he re- fused to say whether he or his wife was responsible for the chains.
 We had to do something. he insisted, because the cruelty so- ciety wouldn't let us beat her any, more. She keep running away"
 Sure I ran away" rejoined Lena, "just as fast as I was able to break the lock after I was chained"
 So Judge Pancoast committed her to the house of detention while he sought home for her.
