SEC. WALLACE SHOWS SIGNS
 OF OPTIMISM

WASHINGTON, Aug. A. Sec retary of Agriculture Henry L. Wal lace showed his first, sign of op-- timism over the London wheat con- ference last night when he post roned until Friday or Saturday the announcement of reductions ir wheat acreage to be required by farmers qualifying for Agriculture Adjustment Administration benefit payments
 Heretofore, Wallace had insisted flatly that unless an agreement or international wheat reduction were reached by today he would order a modified dumping of wheat or Oriental m arke ts and probably would restrict domestic production little, if at all
 His pcstpOnement of decision was based, it was announced, on cabled advices that negotiations in London naQ reached a QeClSlYG stage.
 Thirty t h us n d porkers have aIeady been brought to Chicago for sacrifice and it is expected that before the 40-day ca mpaign is over that 100000 pigs, including 100000 sows bearing 100000 unborn will have been eradicated.
 This concerted effort to cut down next years supply is being done on expenses to be, met by a process ing tax of half a cent pound Cn all pork products. The newly ac quired meat will go to the unem- ployed. The meat will be packed through cooperation of the meat packers with the Government.

FOOTBALL STARS MIX ON CHICAGO
 GRID TONIGHT

CHICAGO, Aug. 24. - With the fanciest collection of highly tout ed football stars ever gathered for a gridiron battle, the East meets the West in Soldier Field tonight before a crowd expected to exceed 35,000.
 TWenty-f five Americans are on the two squads with IT named to start the game-nine in the East ern lineup and eight in the Vest ern battle array
 All-Star football ga m es seldom come up to expectations but the pre-game flavor of this one pro- mises a real battle between the two well conditioned squads. M Many of the players have signed to play professional football and they want to enhance their regulations by starring in this game. Others are going into the coaching game and they want to give their names box office value by getting their last big crack at national publicity as players.
 If the Eastern backs get any help from their line they may rip and pass the West dizzy but most observers believe that Fay Brown and Ernie Smith, those powerful All-American tackles from South ern California will smear the East ern offense before it gets going.
 Coach Howard Jones, of the Uni versity of Southern California, is coaching the West squad and he has II of his own championship team squad members playing for him.

lower rent

THAT the earnings diminished with
the size of the community is shown
conclusively by that fact that half of
the woman workers in rural places
earned less than $4.30 a week: in places
where the population ranged from $500
to 10000. half earned less than $3.50.
