DRAKE FACES
 VOTE SCANDAL
University Students Allege :. Ballot Stuffing in the
 Yearly Elections

Des Moines, Ia-(UPo-Elec4 tions at Drake university have taken a turn similar to those in Louisiana.
 The alleged part of Sen Huey Long in the local educational in- stitution's ballot box scandal in
 played by Student Council Presi- Edent George Hamlin. 'S@i Following a recent election al which the homecoming queen was to be elected, charges and coun- ter-charges flew thick. and fast on the campus. Ballot stuff1ng was one of the charges, undue pressure on certain students to abtain a change in their voting intentions was an- other.
 Hamlin then declared the elec- tion null and void and set a date for another. His opponents ,ex- pressed satisfaction with' this move but stipulated that there would be
 watchers at the ballot boxes, during
 and after the voting
 l Still another faction then bobbed
 up, presenting petitions asking that
 the university government be off, cially present at the voting, in the | person of Prof Frank I. Herriott
 of the history department. To insure against a recurrence
 of the last election "fasco," the
 students demanded that the pro. lessor sit by the box and watch
 each ballot cast. #,

AMERICAN OWNS
 PRIVATE CHAPEL
Arthur MOultOn Has Con- ! secrated EdifiCe in
 RambOnillet, France

Rambouillet, France (UP)- For the first time within a cen tury. a private chapel has been consecrated in France, and the owner is Arthur Moulton. As far as it is known, this is the only private chapel owned by an Amer ican in Europe today.
 The Very Rev Frederick w. Beekman, dean of the American Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, at Paris, performed the consecration ceremonies. The chapel is part of the Chateau de Ia Verriere.
 The Chateau de la Verriere is consideded one of the most strik- ing edifices of it's kind near Paris and owned by an American. It is about half way between Versailles and Rambouilet, and touches on the western edges of the Bois de Trappea. The original chateau dates from the Renaissance, but 1t was rebuilt during the 18th cen- tury. It was once owned by the Count de la Valette, postmaster general under Napoleon.
 Twelve, years ago, Arthur Moul- ton acquired the chateau, dividing Ais time between it and his other French dwelling at Vi1lefranche. on the Riviera, and Florida. This is the second chapel for private use to exist in Paris. The first was owned over a century ago by Col George Thorn, who had a private chapel with a Church Of England cha plain, but American Episcopal prayer books, in his Paris resi- dence

ISWEEPSTAKE
 BAN LIFTED!
Canadian Question to. Be Revived at Next Parlia-
 ment Session


 Montreal. (UP) - Representa- tions in favor of removing the ban on sweepstakes for charitable purposes from the Canadian Grim inal Code are being revived.
 The main argument is much the same as that employed in Britain, namely, that millions of dollars are leaving the country annually to outside sweepstakes and that it would be as well to legaliZe them at home. Strong influences to the contrary also are being exercised, mainly on the ground that sweep stakes are demoralizing.
 During the past few years many sweepstake bills have been defeat ed in one government chamber or the other, although the senate has swung around to favor sweepstakes for the benefit of hospitals. During the last session of parliament bill making 1t impossible for informers to sue holders of winning tickets without consent of the attorney general was defeated, and on that occasion Premier Bennett express ed the view that such winnings should be confiscated by the state.
 The sweepstake question is cer- tain to be revived again during the next session of parliament.

QUAKER CITY
 HOME OF HYMNS
Many Familiar Songs Writ ten in Philadelphia Sur-
 vey DisclOses

Philadelphia-(UP)-A search through church lore has revealed that Philadelphia is the birthplace of dozens of widely-sung hymns.
 Most familiar of the songs com posed here is perhaps 70 Little Town of Bethlehem" written in a second story back room few days before Christmas, 1888. It was composed by the Rev pr Phillips Brooks, then pastor of Holy Trin- ity Protestant Episcopal church.
 The hymn, "He Leadeth Me" was written by Dr Joseph H. Gill more here on Sunday in March, 1862, upon his return home after preaching in the First Baptist church. Inspiration for the hymn, Dr Gilmore once said, was thd 23rd Psalm.
 Rev George Duff1eld. Jr., wrote the hymn stand Up Stand Up for Jesus" after hearing his friend, the Rev Dudley A. Tying, plead from his death bed: Let us stand up for Jesus"
 Other hmyns written by Phila- delphians include William c. Fis- cher's q Love to Tell the Story" Daniel March's "Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling;" 70 Haste Zion, Thy Mission High Fulfilling" writ ten in 1871 by Mara Ann Thomp- son; "I Would Not Live Always written by William Augustus Muh- lenberg, great grandson. of the founder of the Lutheran church in America.
 Hymns written by other Penn sylvanians include When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder," by James M. Black, Williamsport; twill There Be Any Stars in My Crown ?'' written by J. Robeson Sweeney, Chester; Hail the Fort" Philip P. Bliss, Crawford; What a Friend We Have in Jesus" c. c. Converse, Erie; and Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling" by Will Thomp- son, Beaver.

GOLD BOOM HURTS { MINE PROGRAMS
Prospects Jump in Value
 as Owners Rejoice Over { Price Rise

Bouier, Colo. (UP)3-The higher price of gold is tending to destroy the increasing wholesome interest in mining in Colorado, Dr R. ID. George, head of the department of geology, University of Colorado, and for many years state geologist, said to-day.
 g saThe increased price. the free sale of gold and the new govern ment purchasing policy have CO., operated to produce very unde- sirable result. The tendency is to produce foolish, wildcat exploita- ton on the part of visionary pro- motors and to hinder a healthy development of the gold mining in dustry by causing an undue 'boost ing of the prices of mines. Any old prospect hole, full of water, has, in the eyes of it's claimant, been transformed overnight into a valu- able mine."
 z Dr George told of Boulder County mining property which had been held at $4,000, whose owner now holds it for $15.000.
 "Prospects, whose owners feW weeks ago begged prospective buy CTS to take an interest at nom inal sum, now are held at thou sands of dollars" pr George said. land for the most part have been put absolutely out of the market by exaggerated ideas of the effect of the new freedom in the sale of gold, and the government pur- chase of gold.
 "On the other hand bona fide investors still are in serious doubt as to whether any permanent bene- fit is likely to come from changed conditions. Gold has become a commodity, and will be subject to price fluctuations as other commo- dities. Sane investors in mines are not in the least degree likely to assume that the value of mine has increased in the same ratio as the present temporary increase in the per ounce price of gold"

EXTRACT BOOSTS | DWARF'S SIZE
'..Human Experiment" May Prove Successful By
 Removing Gland

San Francisco, (UP)--A 17-year- old dwarf has been transformed into youth who shows definite signs of approaching maturity and normal height, scientists claimed to-day.
 The human experiment" with glandular extract was carried out at the Douglas Gland and Meta bolic Clinic by Dr Hans Lisser, said. His height increased about 3-4 inches, and he is nearing maturity" He now is four feet, ten inches tall, and has gained in weight.
 The extract used in the case is similar to that developed by Dr Herbert Evans of the University of California, discoverer of the growth hormone. It is obtained from the anterior portion of the pituitary gland.
 Dr Lisser has treated 12 similar cases, all showing varying degrees of success. While scientists in re- search laboratories work with ani- mals, 4t is Lisser's mission to ex pertinent with human beings" he pointed out. ,~

 Steel common met considerable realizing selling. It touched 46 1-S off 1 3-s from the previous close and then fiuctuated until the last hour when it firmed up to a small net gain.
 The American metal market in It's weekly Iron and Steel Review found demand continuing it's in crease in the steel industry. It placed the industry at 29 per cent of capacity or double the low rate for the year. Automobile demand for steel was reported high. Dow Jones estimated the rate of opera tions of the U. S. Steel corporation at a fraction over 24 per cent of capacity, against 22 per cent in the previous week.
 American Telephone opened at 99 off 3-S. It rose to a small net advance late in the day. Western Union made up a point loss. Util- ties generally were firm along with the railroad division. Consolidat- ed Gas and Public Service of New Jersey were strong spots in the group.
 oil shares were unsettled by omission of the regular quarterly dividend by Socony-Vacuum, which dropped to 8 5-S off 2 points be- fore meeting support. Standard of New Jersey was down nearly 2 points and others a point or so.
 Aviation Corporation maze a new Sop for the year at 12 1-2 up a point.
 Profit taking on the stock mar ket in the early trading was in spired by a rally in the American dollar which eased late in the day Grains made broad recoveries from early declines.

Major Tire Companies ln= crease Operations - z4-HOur Day in One of the Plants

Akron, Ohio, May 2.-(UP)-- Happy days returned to Akron to- day when major tire companies in- creased operations to accommodate a renewed demand.
 Factory whistles shrieked when the General Tire and Rubber com pany began production on 24- hour basis. It was the first time since the start of the depression that a major rubber company had operated on full time basis.
 Employes, working on four six hour shifts, were given cigars, and candy by officials of the company. Laughter mingled with the rumble of machinery and hiss of steam.
 Price increases announced by every major company except one were the signal for the city-wide celebration. It was the first tire price increase in eight years.
 When the Goodyear company announced boost in prices today, every major rubber concern here had joined the upward movement with the exception of the United States Rubber company.

 The convention significantly safeguards United States bond ally the priority of foreign debt service over all other remittances Foreign exchange will continue to ernment, but with provisions for a more liberal allotment to British traders and investors.
