THOMPSON SUBMITS
RELIEF PROPOSALS
FOR RURAL SCHOOLS
Suggests Transportation and
Central Housing Program as
Federal Project

TO meet an extremely serious sit
uation" confronting school children
Of North Dakota In rural districts,
Arthur E. Thompson. state superin-
tendent of public instruction, Satur-
day proposed transportation and cen
trail housing OF pupils be made fed
eral project during the winter months.
He made his proposal in letter to
E. A. Wilson, state federal relief ad-
ministrator, suggesting conference
at which plans could be made for the
program.
Many children may not be able to
attend schools in rural sections 1t
transportation is not provided,
Thompson said, while the plan Of es-
tablishing dormitories in central To-
cations has proved in some states to
be feasible and effective one.
In his letter to Wilson, Thompson
said, II am writing to direct your at
tention to an extremely serious sit
uation prevailing in many parts OF
the state relating to the question OF
transportation for rural boys and girls
to school during the coming term.
II am prompted to suggest the OPP
portunity that lies here to create 10
cal relief projects to provide for trans
portation and possibly rooming fac
ilities in convenient centers, 1t seems
to me that this would be q highly I'm
portant step in the general direction
Of rural rehabilitation with which your
administration is graphing. I believe
the effect on the morale Of the young
people would be powerful for good.
May ask for an early conference
with YOU and the members OF the
staff Of the department OF public In
struction to consider details OF oper-
alton. Winter will be upon US shortly
and we in the department here are
receiving some pathetic stories re.
garding inability Of boys and girls 70
Be transported to school at the pres
ent time. The coming Of winter Is
bound to multiply these troubles very
much"
THOMPSON also pointed out that IN
some communities, farmers are faced
with the inability OF taking their
children to schools, because they have
no feed for their horses. This could
be made a federal project and farmers
could be made relief workers In trans
nortine children to school. through
funds provided by the federal gov
eminent
Dormitories have been successfully
tried as a federal project In South
Dakota, Thompson said. In that
tate according to Thompson. the
federal government has expended u
cents per day for each child in the
dormity to partially defray costs o.
food. This is extended to families
on relief. The remainder Of the cost
Il borne by the family. Where the
family is unable to meet the cost,
work is given the child to defray the
remainder.

That many passengers may have
persisted in the flames that whipped
about the 1l,000-ton liner in the
blackness before dawn Saturday, was
evidenced in reports Of survivors stat
ing that many persons were seen hud-
died on lower decks.
Other scores were reported sighted
swimming or floating in the sea near
the big ship.
Rescue Work Hampered
Rescue work, hampered during
much Of the day by poor visibility en-
gendered by fog and rain, continued
unremittingly into the dusk as work was
started to tow the smouldering hulk Of
the liner into New York.
A true compilation Of the lost will
probably not be known for hours, pos
sibly days, due to the wide spread
shore points Of rescue and the fact
many bodies may be carried by tides
and winds to sea or distant shore
points.
The cause Of the fire. which blazed
in the night and was visible to thou
sands on the Jersey shore, was un-
known and wrapped in elements Of
mystery. Rumors Of sabotage trickled
through the reports that lightning
may have struck the ship or the blaze
started accidentally in the passenger
quarters from q cigarette.
Secretary Roper Of the Commerce
Department announced In the after
noon at Washington that an investi-
CATION would be conducted personally
by D. N. Hoover. assistant chief Of
the federal bureau Of navigation in
New York at once.
Sharks Add 10 Terror
Sharks added to the terror Of the
disaster, the skipper Of the Diana, .
rescue craft, said after he had brought
in twelve bodies to Brielle. He count
ed three sharks in the area where sur
vivors were struggling, he said.
The crack Furness liner Monarch Of
Bermuda, which raced at full speed
through the rain whipped dawn to the
Moro Castle side, brought 10 liv-
ing and one dead into New York.
Many Of the living were In dying
condition.
The Andrew F. Luckenbach, which
also reached the blazing liners side
in time, carried % persons to New
York where they were rushed away to
hospitals through police cleared
streets.

kicked at Dillingers legs as the

Pittenger, pitched forward, drop

pistols and knocking Pittinger and
the other outlaw off balance. All
three rolled down the steps, land
ing in a heap at the bottom.
The noise awakened Paul Hodges

picked up the bullet-proof vests
and pistols and, followed by his
gunman pal, leaped on the run
ming board of a blue sedan which
had pulled up in front of the city
building.
A third man is believed to have
been at the wheel of the car in
which Dillinger and his hench-
man escaped through the town.
When last seen the car was headed
southwest.
Pittenger Immediately spread an
alarm from police headquarters
which brought fifty members of the
Kosiusko county vigilantes to head
quarters. Posses were organized
hastily.
Police Chief Frank r. Lucas of
Warsaw and H. B. Person of the
vigilantes searching party, raided a
farm near Warsaw where Dillinger
is known to have hidden at various
times. It was at this farm, accord
ing to Warsaw officials, that Dillin-
ger and his men hid after raids on
the Auburn and Peru police stations.
State police officials who know
Dillinger's psychology say that the
outlaw is enraged at the capture Of
his FrenCh-Indian paramcur, Ann

 The man whirled at the sound of the voice. His eyes stared at Sid- ney Grif with an expression of quick recognition which speedily gave way to wary appraisal. He turned and walked back toward Griff with leisurely manner. The quick, purposeful vigor of his stride was now entirely absent.

 October is the month when smart women begin to think about the subtle details of beauty. The obvious things reeonditioning treatments for skin, hair and fig 1re-were attended to in Septem- Der and now a girl can settle down to some of the more glamorous aspects of good grooming.
 She can think about perfume and furs, for instance. Of course furs generally are considered to be in the fashion rather than the cosmetic category, but since mod ern makers of perfume are spon- soring certain scents for certain furs, we find ourselves doaubly in- terested in both subjects purely from a standpoint of beauty.
 A famous couturier tells us that long -haired furs are most fiatter. ing to blondes. Then he goes on to say that white fox makes the perfect collar for a fair-skinned girls evening wrap. He adds that short haired furs are for sophis- ticated types and that brown furs are perfect for brunettes.
 An equally famous maker of perfumes declares there Is real economy in putting perfume di- reetiy on your furs. The scent fingers e good deal longer than it does on cloth and seems to stay fresh and pleasant as long as it lasts. He suggests rather sweet odors-gardenia, for exampie--on fox furs. spicy perfumes on short. haired varieties. and subtle, elusive scents on the luxury furs, including mink. ermine and sable.
 Use sn alomizer of course It will save your perfume. And. more thnn that, the odor remaiHn longer when each individual hair in
