DATE FUNGUS
STUDY BEGINS

A project which it is believed
will point the way to the elimin-
alton of a fungus disease, which
affects trees in the date gardens
of Riverside and Imperial counties,
has been started by officials of
the University of California citrus
experiment station, according to
announcement by Director l.. d.
Bachelor. The work is directly
in charge of DR.. D. E. Bliss, plant
pathologist.
A tract of 10 acres near Mecca
has been leased from Riverside
county by the experiment station,
and the experiments will be car
ried out on this plot. No dates
have heretofore been planted on
this plot, and the first paintings
of the area are now being made.
The disease shows as a fungus
at the base of the trees where
the roots branch out and is found
only on the Deglet Moor variety
of date. This is said to bear the
most choice of fruit, and is the
variety most extensively grown in
the date-bearing area of California.
According to DR.. Bliss, the pro-
ject will include a study of the
relative immunity of other yari-
cites of the date to the disease.
Approximately 20 different vari-
cites of dates will be planted on
the 10 acre tract. When the trees
are about three years old, half
of the tract will be infested with
the fungus disease.

YACHT VOYAGE
TOUGH ORDEAL

HONOLULU, T. H. July "a. U.P
With a record of misadventure
which included forgotten can OPEN
ers. a drowned radio and broken
masts. the yacht Scaramouche
limped into port today. the last
boat to finish in the Los Angeles
Honolulu race.
Five men, three women and a
Pekinese pup gratefully set their
feet on land after 19 trying days
afloat.
The misadventureS of the yacht
ing party began the very day they
left Los Angeles-July 4. Dinner
time found a large supply of cam
ned goods available. But there was
no can opener. An ingenious crew
member saved the meal by adapt
ing a putty knife to new uses.
Next in the line of accidents
was the collapse of the radio send
ing and receiving set. A huge wave
drenched the set and made it un-
fit for use.
Alternate days of calms and
blows added to their troubles. The
high winds broke the main boom
and played havoc with the rigging.
The party was down to its last
gallon of water when it finally
reached Honolulu.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Tomkins
planned the voyage as vacation
trip. It proved more than that for
the owners and for the others in
the party.
Betty Norton, pretty Hollywood
dancer, and Kathryn ONeal,
daughter of C. T. O'Neal, Chicago,
were the other women.
Tompkins was aided in sailing
the boat by Remington Adams.
George Chapman, John Moore and
Roger Case. Case is a son of Walt
er Case, editor of the Long Beach
Sun.
Despite their many trials, every
one of the party planned to be
aboard when the Scaramouche be-
gins its return voyage within 10
days.

$500 IS STOLEN
BY CRACKSMEN
YeggS Blow Four Safes in
City; Church Loses
S225 in Cash.

Police today we're seeking yeggs
who over the weekend blew four
safes in garage, church and a
motion picture theater, obtaining
total of $500 loot, $525 of it in cash.
The safe of the Inglewood Chris
tan church, 81 North Rural street,
yielded 1925 of the cash. The rob-
berry was discovered this morning by
the Rev. o. A. Trinkle, SO North
Rural street, pastor, who told police
the yeggs had jimmied side door,
jimmied an Office door on the Sec
ond floor of the church building and
then knocked the combination from
the safe.
Three hundred dollars of the cash
and tires valued at SIS were taken
from a safe in the Baxter One Stop
service station, 1136 North Meri-
dian street. Tools used to open the
safe were those employed ordinarily
in the garages work. The yeggs
smashed window to gain entrance.
Yeggs, who are believed to have
been in the theater when it was
opened early this morning, ruined
three doors and two safes in the
Earring theater, Twenty-seventh
street and Central avenue, but got
nothing for their pains.
They we're unable to get to the
cash boxes in the safes, A. G. Earring,
2749 Central avenue, told police. Mr..
Earring was called to the theater by
Carl Watkins, 2751 Central avenue,
an employee, who heard noise on
the stage when he first entered the
theater.
An open safe and a cash regis
ter were ransacked at the Used Tire
Company, 519 North Capitol avenue,
but nothing was taken, the manager
reported. The burglars cut hole
in the tire company wall and en-
tered the National Trunk Company,
SGT North Capitol avenue. Although
an open safe was rensacked, moth
ing of value was taken, prelimi-
nary checkup revealed.

COASTAL SHIP
RUNS AGROUND
Shippers Action in Saving
Vessel From Sinking,
Wins Praise.

BIZ United Press
WOODS HOLE, Mass, Oct. l.
The sixty-four passengers of the
coastal steamer New Bedford were
unanimous in praise today of the
efficiency of Captain j. F. Negus
and his crew of twenty-sevep when
the ship struck submerged object
and began filling last night.
The vessel, meanwhile, lay
beached off Uncatena Point, few
miles from here, its engine room
and rear compartments flooded.
The captain and crew still were
aboard.
The New Bedford was en- route
from New Bedford to Woods Hole
when it hit the unseen obstruction.
A gaping hole was torn in its port
side and water SWirled into the en-
CINE room.
Captain Negus Immediately or
dered an S. o. s., at the same time
heading for shore.
Although the water was wal
deep, the engine room crew STUCK
by their posts until the vessel was
beached On deck, officers and
other members of the crew circu-
lated among the passengers, calming
the panicky and issuing life pre-
servers.
Soon after the ship was put
aground, the coast guard power
boats arrived and began taking pas
sengerS off. Survivors said there
was twelve feet of water in the
holds when they abandoned the
ship
The New Bedford's call for help
was the third distress appeal re-
ceived from ships off the Atlantic
coast yesterday. Earlier, the Arnold
Bernstein liner Koenigstein, with
about 1875 passengers and 145 crew,
wirelessed that a fire was burning in
her hold. Later the ship reported
the fire extinguished and the res
cuers we're called off.
The other appeal came from the
Red D line freighter Falcon, which
lost a propeller about $50 miles of
the Florida coast and was drifting
helplesSly.

and its predecessor have brought
about the high structural and ad-
ministrative standards now existing
IN the institutions subject to its
visitation and inspection" DR.. Thay-
er said.
This has been accomplished
largely through cooperation with
the local officials. Today the United
States department of justice classes
New York state as one of the few
states where the standards of
county jail construction and admin
istration are sufficiently high to
warrant disseminating inspections
by federal prison inspectors"
Most of this progress" DR.. Thay-
er continued, has been made by
using the velvet glove rather than
the mailed fist. Experience has
shown that the local officials gener-
ally will move to correct conditions
if funds can be made available, but
there have been occasions when
the commission has been obliged to
resort to its powers to close inSti-
buttons which were unfit"
The Albany county penitentiary,"
DR.. Thayer said, lis a notable eX-
ample of how state supervision cor
rected intolerable conditions.
Lutz in Discussion
This was an old institution" he
said. 1t had become very inSani-
tary and was inadequate to house
and classify prisoners as required by
law. For years the reports of in
Spections called the attention Of Of
ficials to the illegal conditions ex-
listing, without result.
Finally, the commission cited the
officials to show cause why the Jail
should not be cloSed.
The matter came into court. Be-
fore the court rendered a decision
the board Of supervisors authorized
the erection of a new county Jail at
a cost of nearly 100000 and to-
day Albany county has one of the
finest jails in the United States"
Attorney General Philip Lutz Jr.,
this morning participated in a dis
cuSsion of a co-ordinated state cor
regional program.
CharacteriZing the work of the
juvenile court in dealing with cases
of neglected children as "legalized
blackmail,,' Juvenile Judge j. Walter
McInerny, South Bend, told the
conference children'S division that
1t was improper and impossible for
/ the juvenile court to attempt fam
lily rehabilitation"
An institution can not replace
a home. and it is the business of
/ the juvenile court to see that the
normal child shall not remain in
an institution long enough to be-
come inStitutionalized, he said at
another point.
Criticism Of the necessity of hav-
ing a court decision in giving aid
under the mothers aid law in In
diana was voiced by Miss Agnes K.
Hanna. Washington. social service
division director.
Miss Hanna advocated a chill
dren'S worker in every county in
Indiana. She complimented the
state on being one of fifteen which
had provided program for chill
dren's care.

held, will continue to receive the
human wreckage handed over for
detention. But the prison of to-
morrow must make an attempt to
find out the causes of crime. The
prison of tomorrow must recognize
the first job is one of rehabilitation
and must educate the public to the
fact that 80 per cent of the
prisoners are returned permanently
to society and that it is the part of
wisdom to take advantage of the
period of segregation to prepare
men for discharge to civil life"
Establishment of the parole divi-
sion in New York state as a bureau
in the executive department instead
Of in the department Of correction,
was termed a mistake by DR.. Thay-
er, who held qualified officials of the
penal institutions should be given a
larger responsibility in selecting
prisoners for parole.
The piffling programs of the av-
erage church or settlement group"
were criticised by DR.. Arthur l..
Swift Jr., professor of applied Chris
tianity, Union Theological seminary,
New York.
Too often" DR.. Swift said, these
programs for the use OF leisure
time are inane or selfish and do not
grip the imagination Of the mem
bers.
Surely We are agreed" DR.. Swift
said, that the proper use of leisure
time is more than idle play. Today
many are restless under privation.
We can not blame them for that.
We would all denounce that exploit
tation Of leisure time which aims
chiefly to soothe and placate the
victims of social injustice.
The convention will continue to-
night and tomorrow. Mrs. Edmund
Burke Ball, Muncie, state president
presided over the general meeting
last night.
Speakers tonight include Rabbi
NJ. NJ. Feuerlicht, Indianapolis, who
will discuss Our Legacy to Youth
at the conference dinner at Hotel

that Harbold had started to go to
the home of a friend whose back

pressed the opinion that Harbold
had been walking across the Will

CLEARING HOUSE
ADOPTS REFORM
New Service Described as
Ending Discrimination
Between Classes.

Member banks of the Indianapo-
lis Clearing House Association to-
day placed in effect a measured
service for all checking accounts.
The new plan, announced several
weeks ago, is designed to enable
each checking account to pay its
own way and make discrimination
between classes of patrons impossi-
BILE. 1t is described as being in &C
cordance with sound banking prac-
tees generally established through
out the United States.
Bank officials explained they have
been forced to adopt the system by
additional expenses such as payment
of deposit insurance, defraying by
Indiana banks of the new intangi-
bles tax on bank deposits, generally
lowered yields on all the higher
grades of investments and scarcity
of good commercial loans.
Accounts of more than $500, or
smaller accounts with more than a
normal number of transactions
monthly, will be subject to charges
whenever loss to the bank is appar-
ent.
For smaller accounts, the system
provides:
Accounts with minimum balance of
less than $100 monthly maintenance
charge of SO cents; charge of 4 cents
for each check over five each month.
500 to $199, service charge of IS
cents; five free checks a month.
From 5000 to $299, no service
charge; ten free checks.
From $500 to 1899, no service
charge; fifteen free checks.
From $500 to $499, no service
charge; twenty free checks.
Somewhat similar systems have
been adopted by other banks in the
county, it was reported.
