UNCLE SAM Is USING
POSTER BEAUTIES TO
HELP SELL AIRMAIL

Although pictures of beautiful
girls in flaming red dresses long
have been associated with cigaret
advertisements. not until today
has pulchritude been used TO sell
postage stamps.
Colorful posters adorned the
main postoffice here today in
which an appealing young lady
informs the public that "Airmail
Is Socially Correct"
The posters were issued by
Postmaster General James A..
Farley to advertise the fact that
airmail rates now are cents an
ounce.
Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker
assured friends that no high pres
sure salesmanship would be used
on them if they strolled down the
corridors Of the postoffice.

came to the view that an extern

was vital.
These VieWS-unique for a

tention early in 1882, when Sem
ator La Toilette invited business
men to tell senate committee
what they thought should be done
to overcome the depression.
Eccles' plans stood out like a sore
thumb.
1t was on this trip east that the
young Utahan met Professor Ray
Moley, Professor Tugwell, and
other potent New Deal figures.
For a time Eccles was under
consideration as undersecretary
of the treasury, but his unfamil-
iarity with government finance
weighed against him.
1t now appears he is destined
for more important post.

TOURISTS FLOCK TO
NEW NIAGARA FALLS

Contour Changed by Rock Fall,
Adding New Beauties.
By United Press
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Aug. ID.
Hundreds of tourists f1ocked today
to see a new Niagara Falls, its
contour changed by the dislodging
Of several thousand tons of rock at
the crest of the Horseshoe cataract.
A favored spot was Terrapin
Point on the American side. Terra
pin Point, farthermost tip off Goat
island, was left projecting beyond
the vortex of the falls and a finer
view was afforded.
Engineers believed the extreme
cold of the last winter and the high
temperatures which followed early
this summer contributed largely to
the undermining of the falls brink.

The 1880 drought covered much
of the territory now affected. For
relief, feed loans amounting to
S45,O00,O00 were proposed. The
senate tried to make this money
available for food where families
were in want, but President Hoover
was opposed and the house stood
with him. No federal relief Of
any kind was being given then.
The senate next proposed con-
tributing S25 100000 to the Red
Cross for meeting human need.
John Barton Payne, chairman OF
the organization, said he would
not accept the money. Finally a
measure was passed providing

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

Los Angeles followers breathed a
bit easier today after the league
leading Angels not only proved their
ability to play good baseball under
the bright lights but also squared
the Mission Reds in their hard
fought series for the first place
rung in the Pacific Coast league.
In their first night game of the
campaign, the Angels overwhelmed
the Reds last night by a 6-2 score.
Fay Thomas, tall highlander, held
the Mission sluggers in check while
the Angels, led by Demaree, came
through with timely hits to even
the series
Hard hitting featured the other
two games played in the circuit
Wednesday.
AT Hollywood the leagues brother
act, the slugging Dimaggios, put on
show for the fans while the San
Francisco Seals were downing the
home club by 1875 score With two
men on in the ninth, Joe Dimaggio
of the Seals slammed the ball out
of the lot for a few extra tallies.
Not to be outdone, Vino Dimaggio
of Hollywood did the same thing
with a teammate on base in the
Stars half of the same inning.
The Sacramento Senators and
Oakland went 10 innings before the
Senators put over the winning run

was 7-6

which the Fat Boys could not re-
duce during the remainder of the
game. The final score was 7-3 and
put the Studies into lead for first
place in the league with the Cram
er team, each having two victories
and no defeats.
This hectic sixth inning blasted
the hopes of the Fat Boys who had
held the Studebakers scoreless un-
til that period taking a one run
lead themselves which looked plen-
ty big as the game proceeded The
Studebakers added another tally
later in the game but it proved un-
necessary.

Thomas cut off a scoring threat in
the Studebaker half of the second
and made the mechanics wait un-
til their golden opportunity came
in the sixth.
This game concluded the second
week of competition in the league.
Next Monday evening Cox Brothers
will meet Cramers with a chance
that the latter may meet their
first defeat of the season. On
Tuesday the Fat Boys and Coca
Colas will tangle with last place at
stake while on Wednesday Stude-
bakers and Golden State teams
meet for the first time this season.
From the work these teams have
had so far this season these games
should be well worth seeing.
