WASHINGTON, D. O.. Aug. 28.- MIRA volunteers, 1,500,000 strong, today opened drive, under Gen. Hugh s. Johnson's mandate, we can't afford to fail" to implant the Blue Eagle in every business house and in millions of homes, speeo- ing the greatest corps of volunteers in door -to-door canvass.
 This is the first step in the Administrations September offen- sive against the depression which is expected to carry the forces of recovery to much higher points than has yet been attained
 Big Start Made
 At the outset Of the newest cam paign, Gen. Johnson told his work CTS: rEither through code or agree ments we enter the drive with be- tween 70 and 80 per cent of the employers in trade and industry already under the Blue Eagle"
 He described the drive as mile stone in human progress. Buy under the Blue Eagle" is the watch word set by the General for volun- teers after the warning: Even the shadow of boycott, intimidation or violence would spoil this whole en- deavor But there must not be the slightest misunderstanding. It is not boycott for people in distress in this country to say they are going to stick to those who do their part to cure the common evil, and ignore those who refuse to do so. To do otherwise would be to frus- trate the whole national purpose. :"
 Auto Industry In

DRIVE HAILED AS SUCCESS BY
 THE PRESIDENT
Downhill Drift Becomes Upward Urge, Roose-
 welt Tells New Workers

POUHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Aug. B. President Franklin D. Roose welt hailed the National Recovery drive as a success in an address to the people of his home county here last Saturday afternoon
 The President asserted the down hill drift has definitely turned to become an upward surge"
 The President declared an end to monopolies and announced new principle for the home com munity, that no individual, no fam fly has a right to do things which hurt his neighbors. It is true. of course, your Government has hopes in the building up of wages that are at present starvation wages and shortening of hours of work in every part of the country. This will result in a greater distribution of wages and increase the number of persons employed. That we seek definitely to increase the purchas- ing power of the people is true. We are definitely succeeding in this purpose and the down hill drift has definitely turned and be- come an upward surge"
 To the citizens of this old Re- publican county, the President very firmly called for reorganization of local units of government.
 You have done nothing to re- organize what you all know to be an outworn system, built up in the days of the ox-cart an unchanged to the days of the automobile Some day the people of New York will do something about it but l tell you quite frankly nothing will be done unless you make your rep resentatives in the town, county, and State Legislature do it or substitute other representatives for them"

Grass Skirt
 Fashions Rotate In Ne,U Guinea

SYDNEY, Australia. Aug. 28.- Although wearing only grass skirts arm bands and necklaces, native belles of New Guinea bow to the dictate of fashion, says Dr. R. P Fortune, an American anthro- biologist
 Dr. Fortune found that the little town of Murik controls the style and decrees whether grass skirts shall be long or short and whether two grass arm bands or three are correct"
 When Murik devises a new fash. ion, it is sold to a neighboring town or village for a price payable in pigs. This place retains the fashion for year and sells it to the next one.
 This process makes outlying vil- lages 20 years behind the times. !.
