ICE FIELDS CHECK
BOILER RULES,
DRAWN Up

NEW YORK, Oct. L. Out of
tragedy at sea have come more
efficient safeguards for passengers
and crew.
Nearly every time DaVy Jones
opens his grim locker for another
human sacrifice, the science OF
navigation keeps pace, ever seeking
and finding new ways, new de-
vices, to- cheat him of his prey in
the future.
That has been true in the past,
and already, on the heels of the
MORO Castle holocaust, in which
more than 100 are dead or missing,
efforts are under way to insure
against repetition.
Constant vigilence is the watch
word of the federal bureau of navi-
CATION and steamboat inspection;
at the very moment the MORO Cas-
tie was burning a conference of its
executive committee under DECKER
son N. Hoover, chief of the bureau,
was in progress in Washington to
draft a new boiler code for ships.
1t was the General Slocum disas-

ter, in which 955 persons, most of
them children, lost their lives, that
initiated the rigid ship supervision
in effect today. The General Slo-
cum, excursion steamer, burned in
New Yorks East River, June Is,
1904. The board Of supervising in
spectors thereupon developed the
system of reinspection of vessels
subsequent to the regular annual
inspection, and there are now three
intermediary inspections of passen-
ger vessels each year.
Modern boiler inspection pro-
cedute dates from the explosion
aboard the Observation, also in
East River, in 1882, when II lives
were lost The boiler never was
recovered, although the boiler safe
ty valve was found to be in perfect
working condition.
In the Titanic tragedy % years
ago, 1873 men, women and chill
dren paid the penalty of inadequate
safeguards. The veil was lifted then
by a Senate committee, and navi-
gators found the answers.

The ceremony, at the President

event win take place in the Uni

The faculty will march in acad-

talk and member of the Board
of Regents will induct the new
president. With instruction at the
University beginning on October
l, DR. Seig was greeted by the
largest student body in the history
of the institution. There is no
doubt but that the all-time high
figure of 1853 students in the fall
quarter of 1880 will be exceeded and
that new record will be set.

FIREMEN'S AFFAIR
WAS GREAT SUCCESS

The annual dinner, card party
and dance event OF the Douglas

here Saturday night was perhaps
the most successful affair OF its
kind yet given by that organization:
Beginning with the first sitting for
dinner at S. o'clock and until the
last dance near two in the morn
ing there was plenty of excite
ment and pleasure for the large
crowd attending. 1a
Close to 200 persons were served
at the dinner, and the unanimous
verdict was that it was the best
ever" Credit for the excellent meal
served is due to Mesdames Lang

AT the cards which, followed,

average. Canned apricots are the
only fruit which may show large
deficiency. ~
Exaggerated reports are being
spread as to the prospective in
crease in food prices says DR..
Howe. "And that Misrepresentation
exposes consumers to raids by prof
iteers. Some food prices will rise,
partly because of the drought, as
in the case of meat and poultry.
But we are doing everything pos
! sible to keep consumers informed
of supplies"
What To Remember
DR.. Howe lists four conditions
concerning food prices which the
housewife should keep in mind
l. The present rise, which start
ed the last of April, has advanced
the general food price level only
slightly more than three per cent
by the end of July
2. Food price changes have not
been uniform. South Atlantic states
showed an average drop of four per
cent; western states showed the
largest increase, one of 81 per cent;
and the rest of the country had
an advance of about three percent.
3. All foods have not changed
in price equally. Meats went up
most, 81 per cent. Cereals came
next with a 3.5 per cent increase.
Dairy products advanced 2.6 per
cent. There was an average drop
of OF per cent in the prices of all
other foods.
4. Farmers still are getting only
a little more than one-third of the
consumers food dollar. From 1924
to 1929 he received almost one
half. The problem is to keep mar
keting costs down, md consumers
can help by questioning any mark
ed increase of retail price which is
out of line with the advance in
prices which the farmer is receiv-
ing for raw food materials.
