Distress Area Growing
On his wall was a map of the

area marked by blotch of red

midwest. Mr.. Hopkins said he
feared the distress area would grow

CLAIMS
LIVES OF SIX
IN MIDWEST
Wheat Prices Soar to 81. 08;
Thermometers Top 100
in Chicago.
BIZ United Press

By CHLteG Press
CHICAGO, June IA blistering
heat wave brought death, staggering
crop loss and untold suffering to
portions of the middlewest today.
In Chicago, where the mercury
stood at 1O1 at noon, the grain
market became a maelstrom of &C
tivity. Sensational advances in
wheat placed it far above a dollar
and nearly 20 cents above the price
last week.
At least six deaths we're attributed
to the heat, which was so intense it
sent thermometers high above one
hundred.
Livestock in unestimated numbers
was dying of thirst and from starva-
ton.
Weather predictions held some
hope of relief in the form of showers
and slightly cooler breezes coming
from the northwest. Meanwhile the
heat wave moved on eastward like
the breath from fiery furnace.
Insects Hike Damage
Grain fields withered and turned
brown under the combined ravage of
drought and hot weather. Insect
pests added to the destruction.
The critical situation was reflected
on the grain markets of the country.
With the threat of a major crop
failure coming nearer hourly traders
fought against time and each other
in frantic efforts to fill buying or
ders on rapidly rising market.
Activity was at such pace that
prices on the big board of trade
blackboard in La Sale street fire.
quently were major fractions out of
line with actual sales on the floor.
After an increase of cents a bushel
yesterday while the temperature
reached SO, wheat opened strong
again today and by mid-session it
had touched point cents above
the previous close.
Dollar wheat was achieved for the
first time in nearly year yesterday.
Today prices were far higher. Sep
TENDER futures sold at $1.081s.
Forest Fires Add to Havoc
The livestock markets presented
a strange paradox with a new top
of $40 per hundred set here on
prime cattle while prices of the thin
stock shipped in from the barren
pastures of the drought area de-
clined.
Temperatures yesterday went as
high as Ill in Iowa and reports
from there and other states i1di-
Gated marks of more than 100 will
be common at the peak today. In
Chicago the temperature rose from
"a to 80 in the space of an hour. A
thermometer placed in the sun in
Milwaukee recorded 1913 degrees.
Forest fires in scattered areas
added to the toll eXacted by the
heat and drought.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Presi-

Mr.. Roosevelt invited individual
debtors to discuss their problems

Bennett loaded his car with dyn-
amite and nitroglycerin, wired the
explosives to two switches and then
prepared to die spectacularly. Po-
lice discovered the mad scheme,
persuaded him to move his car load
of death to a deserted section and
then sought to dissuade him. The
longer they argued the less deter
mined Bennett was to blow himself
up so his invalid wife could collect
on his small insurance policy.
A war veteran, he had been out
of work three years. He had stood
in a breadline and seen his wife
and children hungry for the last
time, he said. Police, approaching
the car with his permission, prom
ised to find work.
Finally Bennett saw in the throng
of curious standing at safe dis
tance-his daughter, Virginia, IA.
1t was the sight of her fearful face
that finally caused him to abandon
his suicide plans.
Il gave up the idea when / could
see my little girl in the crowd cry
ing and waving to me- he told the
United Press.
Promised Job by Police
Then there were the police
promises of a. job. They said they'd
take me to hotel to clean up, but
in stead they took me to Jail. I am
wondering if they meant it when
they said they would get me job.
I believe the police, but now I am
feeling blue again.
He said he had decided to kill
himself because he was a failure.
IT have been on the breadlines
more than a year." Bennett said. Il
figured if 1 died my wife and chill
dren could collect my $1,000 insur-
ance. They were sick and often
hungry. I became diSconsolate and
discouraged. What man wouldn't?'
With amazing ingenuity he pre-
pared for his death by rigging his
automobile with a system of wires
and bombs. The wires were so ar
ranged that opening the door of the
car would have set off a devastating
explosion. He wound copper wires
around his wrists and connected
them to a switch. The wires led to
another bomb. Police we're power
less to interfere for any move would
have meant death for them and fol

 T am King Rain" it said, "and I have drifted right down here to try to help you. In the clouds I live. I've brought some rain from there"
 "Hurray for you" yelled Duncy. Gee, you're just in time, it seems to me. I s'pose the rain is in that bucket you have in your hand.
 Please splash it on the tree real quick and I believe twill do the trick" "All right" replied King Rain. "Now. tots be careful where you stand!"
 The Tinymites then saw him sail up to the tree and throw the pail of water on the roaring blaze. The fire was thus put out.
 That's fine," the king heard Goldy say. You've done a real good deed today. The big tree is not ruined and twill grow some more, no doubt"

But there will. no doubt, be a shift in the diet to offset the price" ,"
 That shift will be more or less easy to accomplish, says Miss Ruth Van Deman of the bureau of home economics. The winter will offer women a chance to show If they really can cook" she says, provided they want to take the trouble to keep their food budgets down.
 Cheese Good Food
 In order to find substitutes for higher priced meat there are sev- eral alternatives the housewife can take, Miss Van Deman says.
 She can use fish or cheese. Fish is expected to maintain a normal price. Cheese, although it may be among the foods that show a more than usual rise in price, is an eco- -nomical food, Miss Van Deman points out, because so little is waste Further, it is valuable to give flavor to the bland" foods such as mac aroni

 Canned Meat Recipes
 And finally, the United States consumes a higher quantity of meat than most European countries. We could cut our use of that food some and still leave comfortable margin of safety, the bureau food experts say.
 Canned meat recipes are available at the bureau offices here which were worked out last winter for families on federal relief. They make tasty dishes and could easily be used by the housewife on mod crate income, the bureau says.
 If milk prices sky-rocket, Miss Van Deman counsels taking milk in other forms" The new dried milks which come in powder form can be used in cocoa, the milk soups and creamed vegetables.

 WINTER OUTLOOK. NOT so CL OOMY
By SIG2ID ARNE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Food prices will continue their rise dur ing the fall and winter, says the bureau of home economics, but the outlook is not necessarily a gloomy one for the housewife.
 Two primary causes are driving prices up-the general trend toward higher prices for which the admin istration is working, and the drought.
 But two conditions exist which will help the housewife keep her food bills comparatively stable. Mine of the imported foods will be;ayail- able in normal or above normal supply, and the housewifes herself, can help keep the budget down by shifting the family's diet to those foods.
 Supplies of several major foods which will be at normal or above include all the cereals such as ,MueaG, com, rye, oaGs ana rice, o1ld ouSdl dllQ fCSCOdOlC oAiOA bCAAAAiSs
 Milk Nearly Normal
 The supplies Of all vegetables will remain normal, except potatoes and the legumes such as beans, peas and peanuts.
 Supplies of fluid milk and cream will be nearly normal" condensed and evaporated milk about nor mal;;" and fish, about normal"
 On the other side of the picture are foods which are likely to re- fleet the calamity of the drought, those which will exist in less than normal supply and are quite likely Ito rise in price. None of them, how ever, will be more than 10 per cent off, except the pork supply which may drop 30 per cent below nor mal
 Six foods, supplies of which will be 10 percent below normal, include potatoes and the legumes, all fruits and melons except citrus fruits, and butter, cheese, eggs and lard.
 Peak This Winter
 There will be more than the usual supply of citrus fruits.
 Beef, veal, lamb and mutton are expected to show a higher than normal supply through the present calendar year but will drop below during the winter.
 rThe peak of the emergency won't be felt until winter" pro- phesied Secretary Wallace of ag- riculture, in discussing the drought.
