Dry Goods Buying Gains.

NEW YORK, January ~ (P.-Ex-
periencing their first real activity since
the opening of the Spring buying sea-
son, several OF the primary dry goods
markets attracted good volume of

The slight falling

CONSERVAT0RS
MAY Be NAMED
FOR 27 BANKS
State Department POnderS
Action to Allow
Reopeninq.

Appointment of conservators over
twenty-seven state banks not yet
doing business in Glass A or Glass
B groups was considered today by
the state banking department as
the first step in their reopening.
The banking department has re-
opened twenty-nine banks under
Glass A and It's under Glass B.
Class A permits operation practi-
cally without restriction.
Banks in Glass B must prevent
Withdrawals of more than 5 per
cent on deposits made prior TO the
national banking holiday. New &C
counts, however, are segregated and
subject to 100 per cent withdrawal.
Glass A banks have received an
amendatory order from the bank
ing department permitting them to
operate on the same basis as fed
eral reserve members in cities where
the federal banks are free from re-
StrlctlOnS.
No steps have been taken to APP
point conservators for banks under
jurisdiction of the federal reserve.
Change of status of seven state
banks from Glass B to Glass A
group is announced. They are: The
Logansport Loan and Trust Com
pany, the Farmers State Bank of
Losantville, the First State bank of
Valparaiso, the State Bank of La
pei, the Angola State bank, the
Steuben County State bank and the
State bank Of Lima, at Howe.

we do not weigh the usual amount
here on the moon.
We have a spring scale in the
rocket ship. The ladies in the party
are both pleased and amazed to
find how quickly and painlessly they
have reduced their weight.
A member Of the party who
weighed 120 pounds on the earth,
finds that she weighs only twenty
pounds on the moon. This is be-
cause the force of gravity is only
one-siXth as strong On the moon.
We are ready now to start out
upon an exploration of the moon.
We find that the going is easy, de-
spite the fact that the moons sur
face is rough and rugged.
Here in our path is a great rock
as large as a house. With one
spring, we bound lightly over it.
Unless ravines are unusually wide,
we shall leap across them without
difficulty. We shall have no trouble
in exploring large part of the
moon in short time.
So let us start across the Sea of
Serenity and head for the Lunar
Apprentices, the mightiest range of
mountains on the moon.
Next-We climb the mountains
Of the moon.

BOLD FOREIGN
POLICY seen
Roosevelt to Cooperate
With Other Nations to
Restore Prosperity.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
ScripUs- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Pres-
ident Franklin D, Roosevelt plans to
cooperate to the full with the
heads of other leading powers to
pull the world out of its tail-spin in
much the same bold fashion that
he acted in the domestic crisis.
His plans include:
/. An immediate attempt to help
save the Geneva disarmament con-
ference.
2. Congressional authority to i'm
pose an arms embargo against an
aggressor nation in any part of the
world.
3. An international monetary
conference.
4. Determined efforts to bring to
early success the proposed interna-
tional economic conference.
5. Early commencement of ne
gotiations with foreign countries of
reciprocal tariff agreements.
Rumors persist that Russian rec
ognition will also be among Pres
dent RooseVelt's early steps to ia
cilitate world recovery and revive
American trade.

temperature Of 212 degrees Fair
enheit.
We need protection also from the
direct rays of the sun. Otherwise,
these rays would be deadly Here
again we must be thankful on earth
for the atmosphere.
The sun, in addition to radiat-
ing the ultra violet light that gets
through the earth's atmosphere,
also sends out extremely short
ultraviolet rays which would kill
every living thing on the earths
surface if they reached it.
But in the upper atmosphere
there is a Slight amount of electri-
fed oxygen known as ozone. There
is so little of it that if it were all
brought down to the earths surface,
it would make layer less than an
inch thick. Yet it is enough to
screen out the lethal ultraviolet.
Our asbestos suit has a lining of
lead cloth. This will protect us from
the ultra violet of the sun 1t also
will serve as a second precaution.
Within the last year, the theory has
been advanced that the surface of
the moon is rich in radium or other
radioactive materials.
We do not know yet whether this
is so or not but, at any rate we do
we'll to protect ourselves against

the radium rays which may or may
not be present.
Gravity Force Reduced
You might think that we would
be weighed down by our heavy suits,
our breathing helmets and our oXy-
gen helmets. But to our surprise
we find them exceptionally light.
We are more surprised by our
sudden feeling of muscular strength.
We walk with a light and buoyant
step.
We try leaping into the air, and
to our great surprise find that we
bound up to a height of almost
twenty-five feet.
The reason for this, of course, is
the reduced force of gravity upon
the moon, due to the small size of
the moon.
Weigh Less on Moon
The earth is 5000 miles in diane
ter. The diameter of the moon is
only 2,163 miles. The force of grav-
ity varies directly with the mass of
a body. Consequently it is far less
upon the moon than upon the earth.
Weight, as we experience it on
earth, is a measure of the pull of
the earth's gravity. Consequently,

It would be risky to predict final
action before fall, but it now seems
safe to forecast that by the end Of
summer there will have been refer
enda in a sufficient number Of key
states TO indicate the eventual out

Although the repeal resolution has,
been in the laps Of the legislatures
less than a month, machinery for
electing delegates to ratifying con-
yentions has been perfected in sew
enteen of the forty-eight states.
Repeal is on its way" says Jou-
EFT Shouse, president Of the Associa-

ment, who Sunday predicted that,
within the next few weeks, provi-
sion for ratifying conventions will
have been made by forty legisla-
lures.
Definite dates for election have
been fixed in nine of the seventeen,
in which both legislative branches
have acted, ranging from April in
Michigan to Sept. 16 in New Mexico
In seven states the Governors have

ECONOMIC PLANNING Is
MADE MAJOR POLICY
Heading Up as Main Objective of
New Democratic Administration.

BIZ Scripps-HoWGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The
adoption of national economic plan
ming to prevent depressions and
more equitably distribute the fruits
of industry is heading up as one
of the chief policies of the new adj
ministratiOn.
The planning movement gained
sudden Roadway as the result of the
recent supreme court decision per-
hitting 1877 bituminous coal COM
panies to combine under one selling
agency
Heretofore, the chief obstacle ~
economic planning has bee fear
that the courts would interpret it
as violation of the antitrust laws
Under the decision, as written by
Chief Justice Hughes, these coal
companies can cooperate to stabil-
ize their chaotic industry, so long as
they do not fix prices or destroy
reasonable competition. Other in
dustries. such as rubber, are expect
ed to follow the coal mems lead.
Senator Robert La Toilette (Rep.,
Wis., will reintrOduce his bill to
create a national economic council
early in April That this bill will
have the backing of President
Roosevelt is indicated by his repeat
ed expressions favOring long-range
planning of industry.

THRONC HEARS
SCOTT NEARING
ON COMMUNISM
Manufacture for Profit, In
stead of Use, Is Held
Hard Times Cause.

Standing room only was availabls
at Kirshbaum community center
Sunday night when Scott Nearing
appeared in the final lecture of the
open forum series and expounded
his doctrine Of Communism for
America.
A one-time university professor
of economics. Nearing now is among
the leading inteuectuals advocating
the Socialist commonwealth through
dictatorship of the proletariat.
Title Of his talk was Why Hard
Times?"
His answer to this question was
that of all Socialists and Commu-
nists. That is. that hard time" are
the result OF the capitalistic system
of manufacture for profit, instead
of use.
Outlines Depression Course
Nearing defined the capitalistic
economy as being competitive
struggle for profit in a free mar
ket"
Such struggle is bound to result
in cyclical depressions of increasing
length and depth, he declared.
The present depression was
caused by no natural disaster"
Nearing pointed out. 1T vas caused
by the breakdown of the capitalist
economy Of production, and is felt
most keenly in those centers where
this economy was most highly de-
veloped-such as in Detroit, Man
chester and Essen.
Basic cause of the present diff
culties is production for profit"
Traces Capitalism History
Tracing the history of capitalism
throughout the western world, Near
ing predicted that it is in decline in
all countries and ever tually will die,
to be replaced by communism as the
next evolutionary step.

OUR rocket-ship approaches the
" moon swiftly When we left
the earth, the face of the man in
the moon" beckoned us on with a
smile. But now, as we draw nearer
the moon, we see what the man in
the moon really is.
Our view through the air-tight
glass covered portfolios of the rock
et-ship is not unlike that revealed
from the earth with a pair Of prism
binoculars or a small telescope.
It is like the view Calico saw
when he first turned his little tele-
scope upon the moon in 1909. We
see that the surface of the moon is
covered by mountain ranges, VOL
cano-hke craters, and broad, fiat
plains. AS our rocket-ship draws
nearer, the surface markings be-
come clearer and clearer.
In the chartroOm OF our rocket
ship we have many maps of the
moon, for "Selenography," to use
the scientific name for lunar map
making, is an old art, more than
300 years old. 1t began shortly aft

APPLE MARKET OUTLOOK

APPLE MARKET OUTLOOK
Developments in the last few weeks
have shown the Yakima valley apple
crop to be much shorter than ex-
pected. Reports from other parts of
the country bring the information that
crops are moderate to light. In the
light of these facts, this Is not time
to engage In distressed selling of ap-
pies. What is needed is determination
to demand what the fruit should be
worth
This might make necessary the hold
ing of the fruit against better demand.
While the Arguments of those who
contend that the best policy is to sell
at prices at which the fruit will move
readily now may have some merit, at
least middle course in the disposal
of the fruit should commend itself to
those who have possession of it.
Reasonable returns for the crops are
especially needed this year. The more
that can be obtained for apples the
better will be the situation next spring
when the growers undertake to raise
another crop. Chances are fair that
apples will be in demand for reason
able prices when conditions become
more settled.
The present is a critical time when
any tendency to become panicky should
be thrown off by those having the fruit

An interesting document received in this weeks
mail is copy Of a proposed state liquor control
bill, to be submitted to the next legislature This
docu1nent-a term which we use advisedly-con-
tains approximately $500 words.
Some of the features of this proposed bill are the
creation of state liquor control board, named by
the Governors the authorization of state liquor
stores where only pure liquors bought at competi-
tive prices may be sold; jointists and booteggers
are declared felons after third conviction. There
more features than these in fact, there must be
good many features if $500 words are necessary
to describe them but after reading the first few
hundred words we gave up in despair.
The sponsors of this bill-The Citizens Liquor
Control League assert that this bill is an aid to
true Temperate. We doubt, though if it will add to
the true Temperate of the Senate and House clerks
who must read it aloud before the legislatures or Of
the legislators, who are supposed to know what
they are voting for; or of the judges, who must
understand the bill before passing sentence on
alleged volators; of the printer who must print
the bill several times before it's final passage in the
legislature-f it gets that far of the taxpayers
who will no doubt be asked to reward it's sponsors
in some manner, if successful.
