Land Of Hearts Desire

A ND, speaking of angels, I al
L n ways have visioned heaven as
place where we poor frustrated
mortals get chance to do the
things which have been so long de-
MED us. So when I sneak in beyond
the jasper walls, am going to tell
the first inquiring seraph that I
want to put on a show. And act
in it, too.
BY the reply to this request I
will be able to gauge whether I
am in the right place.
I don't want to be too captious,
but I even have my doubts as to
whether heaven will be quite the
ideal spot for the sort of entertain
ment which I have in mind. You
couldn't do Shoot the Works
there. Heaven is more pretentious
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-03-26

But of course the stage itself is
open to improvements. From my
point of view it would be much
better idea if show could be put
on without the use of any funds
whatsoever. No class has suffered
so severely during the depression as
the angels.
Still, even when such beneflcent
beings walked along Broadway they
were a good deal less than perfect.
Money corrupts everything, and
when a capitalist backs a show he
begins to act as if he owned it. You
find him hanging around at re-
hearsals.
I even have heard of angels who
had the audacity to make sug-
gestions.

than that and probably little
more addicted to perfection.
And if may say so, without be-
ing rude, that's an objection I've
always had to heaven. I'm no glut-
ton for punishment, but eternal
ecstasy without so much as a pinch
Of agony is not altogether prepos-
Sessing. I certainly would miss the
bad notices.

owners Of our society. For him, as
for them, property is sacred, but
the lives of the workers are not.
For him, as for his brother cap

longer returns it's due profit, they
are shot at and driven away under
the guns of the police to slow star

The moral is obvious; only the

According to the United States

after spawning they are of poor
quality, flavor and actual physical

from the market during the sum-

that most states protect them dur

FORT MONROE, Va, August 81
Target practice for the 260th Coast
Artillery, District of Columbia National
Guard, under command Of Maj. Walter
w. Burns, was concluded today by a
fanfare of firing by all units.
The machine gun battery. Battery e,
under Capt. William F. Bulls, directed
the fire from eight anti-aircraft ma
chine guns upon a sleeve target towed
first in front Of the firing point and
then directly over the firing point. The
battery was successful in putting total
of SO holes in the sleeve, which is re-
garded as more than satisfactory.
Battery C scored several hits upon
the sleeve target as it was towed by an
airplane at an altitude Of approximate
" one mile The remaining gun battery,
Battery B, while not as successful as
last week in bringing down a target,
made three hits.
Comment Is Favorable.
The firing of the gun batteries was
| favorably commented upon by the Reg
ular Army officers stationed with the
| batteries as observers.
Battery B is commanded by Capt.
Leroy S.. Mann with Lieut.. o. L. Gill
more as range officer, while Battery c
is under Lieut., Perry o. Huff, with
| Lieut.. John K. Cunningham as execu-
tive officer and Lieut.. James F. Angler

| its practice last night in literal blaze
of glory by spotting and Illuminating
| the attacking plane five times out OF
| five simulated attacks, all from different
| directions The listening posts, which
are stationed about five miles beyond
| the lights, reported the general direction
! of the target, while the sound locators.
placed more in the rear, determined
| the exact location. Data from the
| sound locators were then flashed direct
to the lights, which went on within
| few degrees of their objective.
Battery A, the searchlight battery, Is
commanded by Lieut.. Clifton w. RoyS-
| ton with Lieuts Lee ]. Rutz and A. b.
! C. Graves. An attempt was made today
| bv the commanding officer. Maj. Burns,
to retrieve several of the targets which
have been lost in the ocean. A detail
under the immediate command OF Maj.
! Burns spent the better part OF the morn
! ing in small boat dragging the bottom
OF the bay off the firing point, but to
no avail.
Dance Is Tonight.
The social event of the camp Is to be
given tonight when the entire regiment
| is to dance to tunes OF the orchestra
of the I'd Coast Artillery at the Coast
Artillery School.

HOOVER VISITORS
ARE ENCOURAGING
Representative Will Wood of
Indiana Optimistic of Pros
poets in State.

President Hoover today continued to
receive encouraging political reports
from callers. A glowing account of
prospects generally and in Indiana par
ticularly was brought to the President
by Representative Will r. Wood of In
diana. chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee.
Wood said the Republican party'S
chances for victory are brighter than
at any time since the campaign opened.
He said this was particularly true Of
Indiana and attributed the trend
toward the President to the improve
ment in business.
Too Early for Forecasts.
Wood said it was too early to make
any reliable forecast regarding the out
come of the congressional elections. In
his opinion however. If Mr.. Hoover Is
reelected by substantial majority
most Republican candidates for Con-
gress will win with him.
In discussing his call with newspaper
men. the Indiana Representative said
President Hoover seemed greatly pleased
at his report.
II told the President the truth Mr.
Wood said. Il don't believe in telling a
President something just to make him
feel good if I don't believe it myself.
told him also that his acceptance
made great impression out in my
neighborhood. and that personally felt
that no state paper in rs years had in
fiuenced the people of this country as
did his address"
Following Representative Woods CALL
the President received an optimistic re-
port from Maj. Stanley Washburn of
Lakewood, N. j., Republican candidate
for Congress. In the opinion of this
candidate the price Of wheat will de-
termine the national elections.
Farmer Will Elect"
eff wheat goes to 70 cents or better"
said Mai. Washburn, President Hoover
will be reelected. In other words. the
farmer will elect the President of the
United States just as he always does.
In New Jersey the reaction to Gov.
Roosevelt'S speech was detrimental to
the Democratic candidate" Maj Wash
burn added. The Sea Girt meeting
was a very much cooked-up affair, with
trainloads of people getting to the
meeting from the northern part of the
State at the boosting of the Jersey
Democratic leaders"
Representative Pou, Democrat, of
North Carolina. said after a conference
with the President he had requested
the establishment Of one of the regional
agricultural credit banks at Raleigh,
N. c., and was mot discouraged" at the
reception given his request
Praised President.
Pou said he had praised the President
as doing a great thing" in moving for
the creation Of such a bank system,
since in his section it would take the
place Of the fast disappearing "old-time
loan merchants who furnished farmers
with supplies and took a lien on their
crops in return"
President Hoover also received the
Michigan peach queen, Miss Helen
Cheesman Of Charleston, Mich, accom-
panied by several maids of honor and
chaperons, who presented him with a
basket Of selected Michigan peaches.

Road builders holding contracts for
highway construction with the emer-

urged today by Secretary Hyde to use
cement and other materials manufac-
tured in this country.
Citing protests that materials Of for
eign manufacture were being used, the
Secretary said he was without author
ity to point out formally that the in
tent of Congress in passing emergency
appropriations for road construction
was to afford employment. But, he
added:
In my opinion, there is a strong
moral implication arising from the
emergency character Of the appropria-
tionS that preference in the materials
used should be given to materials pro-
duced in this country"

had convinced him business was on the
upgrade and that business men felt if
the administration program was con-
tinued there would be continued i'm
provement. He added that he believed
people generally felt if there was a
change in administration the program
might not be continued.

RAIL HEADS MEET
TO STUDY MERGERS
Eastern Executives Confer in
Hope of Ironing Out
Objections.
By the Associated Press

81 the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 3l.-Leading
executives Of trunk line systems in the
Eastern railroad field gathered today In
another meeting to decide what course
they should take respecting consolida-
ton
Hope was expressed by some of the
executives that tentative agreement
would be reached. They said, however,
that the question is still so complicated
that several more meetings may be
necessary before final decision can be
reached.
Under the recent Interstate Com
merce Commission decision, the Eastern
roads would be bulked into four large
systems. In an earlier consolidation
plan, it had proposed grouping in five
systems.
Today's meeting was called by w. W.
Atterbury, president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Co., who selected the
Pennsylvania Terminal Building in this
city for the session.
Among the strongest sponsors among
railroad men for the Interstate Com
merce Commissions latest proposed
grouping is Daniel Willard, president of
the Baltimore & Ohio.
The Pennsylvania has been more re-
luctant to assent. Under the new rul-
ing, Pennsylvania would be expected to
divest itself of its holdings of its New
Haven stock. AS yet, the road has
shown no inclination to approve.
