lis Too Bad, Wives,
But Powdered Glass
In Food Is Harmless

DANVILLE, Va, Sept. 14.-Hus-
bands fearing wifely retaliation
for alleged misdeeds need have no
worries about ground glass in the
breakfast muffins and coffee, it
was brought out in Federal court
here this week.
DR.. E. C. l.. Miller, of Richmond,
librarian and prominent scientist
at the Medical College of Virginia.
testifying in a $4,000 suit against
a packing company, in which it is
charged that ground glass from
a can of evaporated milk caused
serious illness to T. D. Blackwell,
of Henry county, said ground glass
is not necessarily harmful and,
moreover, he has eaten it in mut-
fins and capsules, and suffered
no ill effects.
DR.. Miller based his testimony
on experiments conducted during
the World War. when rumors were
that Germany was powdering food
supplies with the glass abrasive.
He could get no volunteers for
his experiments. DR.. Miller said,
so he tried them on himself. He
baked mullins containing from l
to Is per cent pounded glass, and
ate some, he told the jury, without
noticing i'll effects.
However, DR.. Miller added, when
he raised the glass content to 1a
per cent, his muffins tasted gritty
and the presence of the abrasive
could be detected.

KELLY AVOIDS
WEDDING

NEW YORK, Sept. IA G.N.SD
Mary Kelly, "a, as winsome col,
Ieen as ever danced an Irish jig,
weds today with only the best.of-
luck-not the presence-ot her
handsome brother.
Her brother, William, house
guest of Henry Huddleston Rogers,
jr., when Evelyn Hoey was shot,
telephoned his mother he wouldn't
be home for the nuptials. He said:
81 won't be home until next
week. I'm sure everything is
coming out all right. But-well,
you know how it is"
Sure she did" said Mrs. Anna
Kelly, adjuring William not to
worry.
Because of publicity attendant
on the death of Madcap Evelyn
the planned family-and-friend re-
ception following Mary'S wedding
will go by the boards. Mary and
her man, a Union City business
man, will be quietly wed in New
Jersey suburb.
Mrs. Kelly was not anxious to
talk about the death of Evelyn, OF
the circumstances preceding and
subsequent thereto. Only. she
drew this moral:
whenever there's drink and
drink, and women and women,
then there's bound to be trOu-
ble."

TROOPS READY
IN STRIKE

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. IA
G.N.SO.-With a detachment of
State troopers held for action,
dread of further violence today
still gripped South Minneapolis
where strike disorders have
flared frequently in the past week.
With extra police guards on the
streets, last night passed peace
ably after an afternoon marked
by the repulse of 900 infuriated
strikers and sympathizers who
marched on the city hall with a
demand for the resignation of
Mayor Thomas E. Latimer and
Police Chief Frank Forestall.
One man was slightly burned
about the feet by an exploding
tear-gas bomb. He was the latest
in a long list of casualties. Two
were shot to death and half a
dozen wounded by bullets, besides
nearly a score of others beaten
and bruised in Wednesday nights
rioting, the most serious of the
week.
The trouble was brewed at the
Flour City Ornamental Iron
Works, where a skeleton staff of
strikebreakers had kept business
going since the main force walked
out two months ago. The plant
was closed down on Mayor Lati-
mer's orders Thursday.
The band of 600 yesterday
blamed the mayor and police
chief for the use of weapons in
the fight, shouting Down with
Tear-Gas Latimer," before they
were dispersed.

ALL PROJECTS
FACE SEVERE
EXAMINING
President Require S
High Standard To
Speed Up Work
International News Service

International News Service
Rejection of thousands of PWA
projects affecting nearly every
community throughout the nation
was under way today as President
Roosevelt cleared the tracks for
his emergency construction pro-
gram.
With nearly 1000 applications
submitted from the various States,
PWA Administrator Harold L.
1ckes faced a herculean task OF
wedding out projects which will
meet the Presidents four requ1.
sites.
During the works conference at
Hyde Park, Mr. Roosevelt in
structed Mr.. Ickes to approve only
those PWA projects that can be
completed within a year, cost no
more than $3.50 per man employed,
permit contracts to be let by De-
cember IS and which can be
located in the more populous
areas.
Over Two Billion Asked
The applications already on file
call for contraction work costing
$2,646, 100000, of which the PWA,
through it's policy of granting As
per cent would contribute $1,144,-
100000. The applicants would
supply the remaining funds.
In revising his works program,
the President allocated two hun
dred million dollars to Ickes i'm
mediately, while an additional one
hundred million dollars will be
turned over to PWA later from
funds originally earmarked for
housing projects.
The President took this action
to carry out the program advo-
Gated by Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins, who will dis
pense the bulk of the vast four
billion-dollar works fund on prof.
ects affording maximum employ
ment in a minimum period.
Speed Essential
This program calls for launch
ing thousands of quickly-con-
structed projects on which the
Administration will rely mainly
in it's efforts to take more than
100000 persons off relief rolls
by July /. Hopkins will direct
this drive so that as many idle
as possible may be absorbed dur
ing the winter between December
and March.
In favoring the Hopkins pro-
gram, the President took cogniz.
ance of the fact that the projects
envisaged by Ickes do not reach
their employment peak until next
summer. Many of these items also
have a higher-man employment
cost than the projects handled by
Hopkins.
Mindful of his promise to Con-
gress that he would spend the
large works fund to take more
than 100000 off the dole, the
President trimmed the direct re,
lief ALLEGATION for the next six
weeks to S5,OOO,0O0. This will be
disbursed only wherever necessary.

TANKS ON
PARADE

Women Of Reich
at Party Rally

NUREMBERG, many,
Sept. IA Q.N.SO-Women and
tanks topped today's program at
the annual Nazi party congress
here, with Chancellor Adolf Hit
Ter as master of ceremonies.
After addressing 10000 Nazi
women and girls and praiSing
them for their part in the growth
of the party movement, Hitler re-
viewed his new war tanks in
gala parade through Nueremberg
late in the afternoon, publicly
revealing them for the first time
and thus tearing another page
from the Versailles Treaty.
While 100000 watched, $50
baby tanks, preceded by a
motorized band, roared at 20
mile.an-hour speed through the
streets. They flew black flags,
showing a skull and cross-bones.
They we're followed by tank
corps and motorcycles and a bus
carrying many high army Off

War Show Monday
The army has assembled 100,-
900 motorized pieces for great
martial show on Monday.
Chancellor Hitler has drafted
the proclamation he will issue to-
morrow which will tell the world
in unmistakable terms that the
new Germany, freed of the Yer
sailles Treaty, must be dealt with
henceforth as an equal.
The proclamation will be read
to the Reichstag in emergency ses-
sion and five points were today
reported competing in Hitler's
mind for precedence.
Five Point Policy
They were:
l. Abolition of the old impe-
rial black, white and red flag
and proclamation of the hooked
SwaStika flag of Naziism as the
nations only banner. That this
action, emphasizing the unity
VI Vic pal W dlN SU0NCS Will dASU
be in the nature of rebuff to
the United States over the Bre-
men incident, was strongly init
mated.
2. Demand that Britain,
France, Italy and Japan actively
participate in the MeInel elec-
tions September 20 to assure
German candidates for the
Memel Diet fair play from
Lithuania.
3. Delegation Of absolute
power to Nazi party policies, a
move that would force OppOsi-
ton Catholics and PrOteStants
to bow to NaZi orders.
4. Announcement that Jews
must expect both moral and
legal segregation in Germany.
S. Proclamation of Germany's
definite withdrawal from the
League of Nations. Germany's
twO-year notice of withdrawal
expires October 10.

EVELYN H0EY

DOWINGTON, Pa, Sept. IA
G.N.S).-The few country people
who met Evelyn Hoey before her
tragic death in the secluded
manor of Henry Huddleston
Rogers, jr., had deep affection
for the girl with the honey
colored hair.
Neighbor farmers, servants,
cab drivers and everybody who
had occasion to meet the stage
beauty in her trips to the
Rogers estate, were speaking
words of respectful praise for
her today. Tears welled into
the eyes of Charles McCardell,
a young farmer of Lyndell who
recently acted as foreman for
Rogers, as he spoke Of her.
"Miss HOey was sure nice to
everybody. She had city ways
but she never put on any airs.
She could have been pretty
bOSsy around the place here
but she never was. When she
wanted anything she always
asked real nice.

returned to the estate yesterday,
said:
''It SENS awful lonely here
now that Miss HOey'S gone. She
was always so cheerful. I can't
understand how she could ever
do anything like that.
"She could pitch in and

Showdown Today As
Club Closes Meet
At Richmond

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. IA.
Roosevelt policies are expected to
be the storm center of the clos.
ing session of the Virginia Young
Democrats convention here today.
There has been an undercurrent
Of tension since the delegates
began concentration here Thurs.
day, and the factional outbreak
seemed inevitable today.
Senator Carter Glass, who has
fought numerous Administration
measures during the last two
years, received a tremendous ova-
ton when he addressed the 1000
delegates last night.
In speeches which preceded his,
the mere mention of his name
caused the delegates to rise in
body and give prolonged cheers,
lustier even than those which met
oratorical praise of President
Roosevelt.
Glass Backs Views
Senator Harry F. Byrd also was
on hand yesterday, but because of
the illness of his wife was forced
to return home.
Senator Glass confirmed in posi-
tive terms his right and the right
of all Democrats to speak with the
courage of their convictions on
subjects of major Importance and
justified his stand in the Senate
on certain matters in opposition
to the Administration. Affirming
his warm personal friendship for
the Chief Executive, Senator Glass
said:
"The last words he said to me
only a few days ago were God
Speed.'"
Workings of the resolutions CON-
mittee, headed by John j. Wicker,
jr., have been clothed in secrecy,
but reliable reports were that
three separate movements have
become defined in the resolutions
now being considered by the corn"
mittee, some of which will be sub
mitted to the delegates for adop-
ton today.
Resolutions Secret
One group, a minority, Is re-
ported to have submitted a resolu-
ton criticizing the Virginia Sen
ators for their failure to support
all the Administration measures.
This resolution, it is believed,
prompted a measure of the rules
committee precluding the presen-
tation of resolutions from the
floor.
A second resolution, about which
the feature fight of the conven-
ton is expected to center, would
place the Young Democrats in
unqualified Endorsement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Administration.
Third resolution, which the
committee is expected to reject,
praises in highest terms the Vir.
ginia Senators, but eXcoriates the
methods of the Administration in
it's attempts to achieve a desir'
able end.
Fight Certain
Submission of the second reso-
luton which the committee is
considered certain to report to
the convention, will inevitably
precipitate heated discussion,
with the possibility that the pro-
ponents of the third resolution
will have the opportunity during
the debate to bring to the atten-
ton of the delegates the criticisms
of the Administration policies
which leaders of the organization
are seeking to throttle.
