original LudlOW delegate" at IIle
AS Jones resumed his seat be-
hind the cab wheel, he sighed
with relief as he gazed across the
horizon from Union station and
saw what are to him the hall
marks of home-the Capitol build
ings, Washington monument, the
White House and other nationally
famous scenes.
I'm darn glad to get back
here" Bill declared. There is
just too darn much politics in In
diana"
Now Bill Jones is somewhat of
a politician himself He went
back to his old home town of
Rockport in Spencer county and
advertised that he was running
for delegate to support Congress-
man Louis Ludlow for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the United
States senate, and he won.
Then I came back here after
the primary and told every one
that the choice would be either
Ludlow or some one who wasn't
tied up either with the McNutt or
Peters faction" Bill explained
rather sheepishly. Il knew many
delegates who were chosen be-
cause they were supposed to be
opposed to the state administra-
ton.
But when I got there for the
convention, 1 found most of these
had been converted.
$50 I just stuck to Ludlow and
when the st. Joseph county dele
cation switched from Manion to
Minton on that fourth ballot, I
left the hall.
cts good to get back here to
the Capitol, where there isn't so
darn much politics going on"

Private Capital Takes Over
Municipal Bonds With
Approval of Ickes.

Through piece Of private financing,
Secretary Ickes today had $50 ,000, 900
placed to the credit Of the Public
Works Administration to create addi-
tional work producing projects.
The amount was obtained through
the sale of municipal bonds that
P. w. A. had agreed to buy, but were
bought by private investors and bond
dealers.
This direct buying eliminates the
possibility of the Government being
able to profit on the later resale of
the bonds, Secretary Ickes pointed out,
but P w. A. encourages such sales
because they are in fulf1llment Of the
public works theory Of Government
financing employment creating con-
struction when private capital fails to
fuction and then returning that duty
to the private Investment market as
that market Is able to reassume the
duty.
THE more bonds private investors
buy from us the better it will be-" Ickes
said. when investors buy bonds that
we had agreed to buy, P. w. A.
changes the allotment Immediately
from a loan plus a grant only and
reallots the released loan money to
create more employment"
A profit of $53l, ,794 already has been
made for the Government on resale
of bonds to private investors who pre-
viously bought $40 .465 900 worth. In
addition to these municipal bonds, the
p. w. A. has sold $3,S75O00 worth Of
railroad and other bonds taken as Sc
curity for loans.

Behind 20 Other Cities.

Latest comparable figures on NOR
tality from automobile accidents, COW
ering 86 cities. show that in the 50
weeks ending November "a, the Ma
tional Capital ranks behind 20 other
cities, has a death rate smaller than
the country at large, and ranks thir-
teenth among the principal cities of
the United States.
1t remains, however far ahead of
Its own excellent record of a year ago.
The death rate here from automobile
accidents up to November "a was pit
per 100000 Of population. A year ago
the rate was 1913.
Since that time. when a total of
lot traffic deaths had been recorded,
Washington motorists have added u
fatalities, lifting the rate to 24.13 per
100000. This figure is still behind
the rates of 18 others on November "a,
but does not take into consideration
accidents in the last two weeks in
other larger communities of the
country.
New York Rate Is Low.
Compared to New York, Washing
ION JIdIuC Is extremely IdVdIQOuS.
The New York rate. based on a total
of 1904 motor deaths. was only 146
per 100000 of population. In Chicago,
however. a different picture is given,
for there, with 954 deaths the rate
