MISSION IN INDIA
 STARTED BY THREE
 HAS STAFF OF 1000

BOSTON, March 2.-In 100 years the American Madura mission, in south India, has increased it's staff from three workers to more than 1000. The American Board of Com 'missioners for Foreign Missions re- ports.
 The mission was founded in the winter of 1884 by three men-Hen- ry Richard Hoisington of Vergen- nes, Vermont; William Todd, Mar cellus, New York, and Levi Spauld- ing, Jaffery, New Hampshire-who sailed from Massachusetts to India in an ice freighter.
 Today it has 59 missionaries and more than 1000 Indian Christian pastors, teachers and helpers among it's institutions and a college, trade and high schools, hospitals; includ- ing one for lepers, and dispen- saries.
 It is working to place all control in the hands of Indians as rapidly as possible, says the American board.

GEORGE BROS. ANNEX FIRST
 TITLE GAME
Fast Contest Thrills Fans and Score at Close
 Favors Grocers

Both George Brothers and De- Molay basketball teams last night emulated the example of the fla nous American who, when asked if he would surrender, said, We've just begun to fight" And they both fought.
 And neither team would capitu- late, but the tide of scores was running toward George Brothers when the final gun was fired, and as a consequence they defeated the DeMolay by a score of 35 to 34 in the first game of the series to decide the championship of Gastineau Channel for the season.
 George Brothers ran themselves ragged in the first quarter of the game and at the end of the period had piled up a lead of Is to 3. Then was when DeMolay began to fight, and they fought so hard that at the end of the half the score was tied 20-all
 Then DeMolay started sprint and showed the George Brothers how to score. Then the George Brothers started to fight. And how they fought. Fans that have be- lieved they have seen fast games during the season just ended "ain't seen nothin' yet"
 Even the referee had to stkeep stepping around lively to keer from being run over. And he stepped.
 The final quarter was the eli max, however with the fans cheering wildly for their teams and when the smoke of battle had cleared away the scoreboard showed George Brothers winner by 35 to 34.
 The next game of the series will be played between the two teams next Tuesday night on the High School gymnasium floor.
 The opener last night was also a scorcher, with the Juneau Grade School team defeating the third squad of the High School aggre- gation by score of B to 22 The High School five was coming up fast at the end but the game didn't last long enough for them

 The exchange will not handle stocks but will merely list promis- ing properties with the idea of bringing capital and holders ol prospects together.
 Johnson believes the exchange is feasible on account of the acute interest in gold mining at the present time.

Seventy Per Cent Of Cities
Show Increased Turn

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Seventy
per cent of the cities in the Uni
ted States have reported more
active real estate market than a
year ago in a semi-annual survey
made public today by the Nation
al Association of Real Estate
boards.
The survey, which covered 26S
cities, showed recent rapid alb
sorption of space, particularly IN
single family residences, and
higher residential rents. Actual
shortage of such dwellings was
reported in 40 per cent of the
cities, and only four per cent
had a surplus. The survey a year
ago showed a shortage in only II
per cent.
Among conditions pointing to
general rapid advance were:
l. Increased return for real es'
tate investment, promised by
sharpening rent conditions.
2. Increasing space absorption,
extending in some sections even
to business structures.
8. Remittance of capital seek
ing investment.
4. Predominantly steady OF
falling interest rates.

Rv HARRY w. SHARPE

WASHINGTON, Aug. i3. (Uf)
The profteer, lecherous gentry
that levies on the public in times
of disaster, will feel the grind OF
the governments heel if he uses
the great western drouth as a pre-
text for swelling his golden hoard.
High administration officials
gave the country this assurance
last night after Secretary OF Ag-
riculture Henry A. Wallace pre-
dicted the drouth would cause
food price increases, ano reports
of food boarding came from the
west. :,
ATTEMPTED food profteering IS
inevitable" said one official, VINO
warned that the profteer would
be summarily dealt with. The ag-
riculture adjustment administra-
ton, he said, is going to stand by
as a federal policeman to see that
anticipated increases stay IN
line"
The AAA will use its own crop
and livestock statistics as a price
guaging index. Through this ba-
rometer it hopes to learn immedi-
ately whether price-gouging is
practiced.
It will scrutinize prices of com.
modities as related to drouth.
ravaged crops such as wheat and
corn. and the livestock industry.
When there is an abnormal rise
the cause will be ferreted out. II
profiteers are responsible the
AAA consumers council will
wheel out its seige guns, turn the
full glare of publicity on them,
and emasculate their business by
invoking drastic licensing provi-
sions of the agriculture adjust
ment act.
Higher meat prices may be ex-
pected first, Officials said. There
is a shortage of pigs and pork
constitutes more than half the
meat consumed in the country:
Also The AAA has purchased and
slaughtered 2,623,000 head OF
drouth-area cattle and plans
eventually to increase this to T.
100000.

MINIMIZE IDLE
ARMY FOR u. S.
u. S. Chamber Thinks AT.
L. Figures Too High by
3 Million People

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States yesterday chal.
lenged the latest American Fed
Grafton of Labor unemployment
figures as more than 100000
too high.
The federation's July report es-
timated that 10,300,000 were out
of work. The chamber said in its
weekly Washington review there
were less than 100000 unem-
ployed last month.
Current exaggerations of the
number of unemployed has been
an unsettling influence" the re-
view said.
The chamber statement was
reminiscent of differences over
unemployment summaries during
the Hoover administration, when
the Democrats regularly disputed
Republican estimates as too low.
William Green's comment on
the federation's figures was that
they showed industry had not done
its part in the recovery program.
The chamber answered by say
ing that more than a million per-
sons were added to the payrolls
of manufacturing establishments"
during the year ended in July and
that Sin fact, the accomplishment
was even larger than the gross
figure indicates"
1t said many of, the tabulations
were based on figures taken from
old plants (which are not advanc-
ing in their activities and employ
ment so rapidly as many newer
enterprises"
GAS yet there is no way to COM
pute the exact amount by which
employment in manufacturing is
understated, but that there IS UNI
reinstatement there can be no
doubt" the review said.
eff a we'll known remark were
to be paraphrased, it would be
that what the country needs is not
more statistics but better statis-
tics"
In his speech before the cham
ber's convention, President Henry
I. Hartman estimated that A.
100000 are out of work because
| of the depression. He said some
100000 normally are unemploy-
ed in this country.
The chambers review was more
conservative than Hartman. At
least 100000, the chamber said,
were unemployed before the de-
preston, leaving 100000 out of
work as a result of the crisis.
