KENTUCKY IN
ODD POSITION
ON DRY ISSUE

FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. Is. (U.P)
Kentucky, once famous for its
brands of liquor, is caught in all
anomalous position on the prohibit
ton issue, whisS adjoining states
act to vote on repeal.
The legislature will not meet il
regular session until next year
Beer was legaiized under a terri!
in the state statutes which auto
matically made them conform with
the modified federal prohibition law
and was taxed, for a time, under an
old revenue law.
The courts, however, ruled the
old law invalid. The state now is
unable to collect revenue on manu-
facture and sale of beer.
Governor Ruby Laffoon received
a message from Postmaster General
James A. Farley urging that he
call the legislators and provide for
a repeal vote.
The governor has called a special
legislative session to provide a beer
tax, but specified the assembly must
adjourn in 10 days, that only ac-
tual transportation costs would be
provided, and he mace no mention
of any proposal that repeal ma
chinery be set up.
Friends of the governor here said
they regarded him as not I'M
friendly to repeal vote, but point
cd out he has never stated publiciy
his position. Kentucky voters have
been in the dry column in recent
years.

Teacher Institute
Plans Abandoned

HARRISBURG, Pa. Aug. 16. W.H
The old-time county institutes,
which for more than three-quart-
ers of a century have provided
rural school teachers an opportun-
ity to gather and discuss their
teaching methods and problems,
have been abolished in Pennsyl-
vania.
In their place, the legislature
has suggested that teachers con-
vene in brief, local meetings, called
at the discretion of the county
superintendent. Teachers in urban
centers will continue to meet at
district meetings.
County teacher institutes were
started in Pennsylvania before
schools and were intended to give
teachers opportunity to study
teaching methods. The first known
institute was held for two-weeks
in 1848 in Warren county. The
gatherings became general through
the 1850's and were legalized by the
General Assembly in 1867.

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. W.P)-The
stock market today adjusted itself
to a sharply lower commodity price
level.
The adjustment occurred shortly
after an irregularly lower opening
and stirred up selling of sufficient
volume to tax the tickers. At noon
the dealings had exceeded all of
yesterdays session and prices had
been driven down to more than 6
points. Most of the deals were
in small amounts. Later prices
rallied from the lows.
United States Steel common stock
broke points to 49A before sup
port was encountered. Difficulties
over the steel code combined with
a drop of points in the operating
rate for the countrys steel plants
helped the decline along. Other
steels followed.
Selling spread throughout the
market. Such issues as Auburn
Auto, the alcohols, textiles and
farm equipments were hammered
down 2 to more than points. 9th
ers lost l to 3 points.
At the low National Distillers sold
at 1914 off 3B; U. S. Industrial

mercial Alcohol 53h, off As; Au-

QUAKE SHOOK
SHIP At SEA

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. l6. U.H -
Hurricanes and typhoons are no
tun, but an earthquake at sea is
in a class by itself, according TO
Capt. M. Yamiguchi of the Japan
csc steamer Montevideo Maru.
Last March while 600 miles off
the coast of Japan enroute from
Houston to Kobe, Capt. Yamiguchi
had the terrifying experience of
feeling his ship taken by an un-
seen hand and flung on its BEAM
ends.
The crew and passengers quickly
ran for cover, he related, and
braced themselves against the
ships rolling and pitching.
II ran to the bridge" said the
skipper. MY first thought was
that the after part of the yesse'
had been carried away"
1.-The propellors were racing like
mad as they were tossed out of the
water, and then they would be
doubly submerged as the bow left
the water and a terrific vibration
set in. 1t lasted three minutes"
Puzzled as to what was causing
the disturbance, Capt. Yamiguchi
wirelessed his owners, asking if
there was an earthquake ashore.
The owners answered in the af-
firmative.
When the Montevideo Maru
reached Kobe two days later, Capt.
Yamiguchi picked up copy OF
Nichi- Nichi and read that the CEN
ter of the quake, which had taken
many lives, had been centered about
600 miles due cast of the Japanese
coast, the vessels approximate po-
sition.

BUSINESS IN
ITALY GOOD
BY THOMAS b. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Aug. 16. - Signs that
Italian production is on the uptrend
are found in the production figures
for the first few months of 1888.
In practically all branches, an
increase of production has been
registered. Basic Industries like
agriculture, steel, transportation,
ETC., have registered progress over
1882. The tendency of consolidat-
ing the home market in the face
of the world depression is said to
have met with satisfactory results.
OF the Italis/i industrial and
agricultural situation, the bulletin
OF the Association for Italian Stock
companies said in it's May report:
ono substantial changes have &C.
Cured of late in the Italian eco
nomic and financial situation. The
effects of world depression are still
felt acutely, but conditions on the
home market progressively reflect
the tendency of the last few
months to adjust business activities
to prevailing price levels and to
the reduced demand, especially of
export markets. AS export trade
declines, the possibilities of the
home market are more carefully
studied, and in many cases COM
pensate for outside losses. So it il
in the automobile industry, as is
shown by 1929 new units placed
on the roads in 1882 over and above
requirements; so it is in many
other fields in which home produc-
ton is supplying needs heretofore
met by imports.
