AIR MAIL FUND
FOR PACIFIC
LINE DENIED

While a Pan-American Airways
clipper was completing a Cali
fornia- Hawaii flight yesterday, a
100000 appropriation for reg.
ular transpacific air mail con-
tracts was blocked in Congress.
ConfereeS on the measure re.
ported a disagreement, thus kill.
ing the appropriation sought by
the Post office Department. The
House managers opposed it be-
cause it had not been approved
by the Budget Bureau.
Meanwhile Jack Frye. president
of the Transcontinental and
Western Air. testifying before the
Senate Post office Committee.
demanded a scientific study Of
costs of handling air mail be
made and placed before the
public. He added:
1--WE are rendering a service
at below cost and the Govern
ment and the nation are the
gamers.
After hearing witnesses from
California and other States Chair
man McKellar, of the Post Office
Committee, indicated he would
offer amendments to the Admin
istration's aviation bill relaxing
its main features.
Mr.. McKellar referred especially
to the section that would Imtt
companies to one air mail contract
and not more than three feeder
route contracts. He said:
II am not definitely commit
ting myself, but it does seem
from the testimony that this
provision might stifle develop
ments of the industry and
actually cut down competition
instead of increasing it as was
intended"
Among the witnesses were John
w. Baumgartner. representing
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce, and A. S. Dudley. of Sac
ramento, who told the committee
any limitations on the number ot
contracts would disrupt air mail
on the Pacific Coast.

AAA BENEFITS

POINTED OUT
International News Service

International News Service
The AAA program and other
recovery measures have enabled
10 agricultural Southern States
to increase their purchases from
16 industrial Northern States by
38.8 per cent, Chester C. Davis,
AAA administrator, reported to-
day.
Carload shipments from the in
dustrial States to the agricultural
States of the Southwest have in
creased on four railroads, Davis
said, from 2,104,585,201 pounds
for the year ending June 80 1898,
to 2,920,887 ,439 pounds for the
year ending June 80, 1884, the
first year under the readjustment
program.
Cash Farm Income Up
Cash farm income for the 10
agricultural States, Virginia. West
Virginia, Kentucky. Tennessee,
North Carolina South Carolina,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
Florida, increased 500 per cent,
according to Davis.
The cash income for the year
ending June 30, 1888, totaled
$451 ,637 900, increasing the fol-
lowing IL months to $722,017, ac-
cording to Davis figures.
BACKS GOVERNMENT
previous to the launching of
the general recovery program by
the Government in 1885," Davis
said, business activity in the
United States had been declin-
ing for nearly four years.
Farmers could buy less and less
from city dwellerS, and city
dwellers had less and less money
with which to buy from farmers.
"The recovery program rep
resents an attempt to reverse
this process. BY providing the
mechanism through which farm
ers may increase their own in
comes, the Government seeks to
help increase industrial activity.
At the same time, by increasing
the purchasing power of the in
duStriaI workers, the Govern
ment seeks to increase the de-
mandS for farm products"

Rabbi Arrested
Unexpectedly a Jewish woman
from the neighborhood came in.
She beckoned to the hostess to
join her in a corner. Soon the
hostess called over her husband.
The husband motioned to their
son. All were talking among
themselves in whispers. All looked
pale. Then the woman departed.
I was told in confidence:
"a rabbi has just been ar
rested coupe of blocks away.
He and his wife, an old
couple, were both TAKEN"
! asked:
"On the night of ROsh
HaShanah?"
They explained:
"Just because it is the Jew
ish New Year."
The good woman had come to
awaken the neighbors and to
start the collection of ransom
during the night, so as to buy
the freedom of the rabbi and
his wife by the morning of this
high holiday. Everybody knew
that the ransom could not be
provided in rubles, that the GPU,
the Soviet punitive secret service,
took only American dollars.

The Torgsin is the only place

upon this advice when 1 went to

sausage, tea, sugar, cheese and
candy.
Before leaving the Torgsin store,
the cashier winked to me not to

then pointed at the window. Out
side a big crowd had gathered.
They had been watching me do
my shopping. 1t was on the main
street, the Krestchatik. The
crowd was composed of famished
people. But the cashier spoke of
them as bandits" She warned
me:
"They will attack you. They
will snatch the food out of your
hands. The policeman will eS-
cort you to the house where you
are going"
1 did not want her to know
where I was going. I tried to argue
that if anyone tried to steal my
parcel, I would let go of it.
But the Torgsin official insisted
She saw that I was foreigner

In New York one dare not speak

What, hunger in Russia? It's a

But how different it is in Soviet

of the famine, even when a Com

Kiev I heard staggering facts.
There was ineXpressible Joy

how Mortified I was by an endless

County Health Officer
Says Water is Pure.

DIR. c. r. Scherer, county health
officer, has issued statement to the
effect that the water in the lakes Of
the county is pure and that there is
no danger of contamination for bathers
but that the water should not be used
for drinking or cooking.
''The annual rumor of all the dread
diseases that spring from bathing in
our beautiful lakes is again rampant.
The st. Louis county health depart
merit has determined there is no
danger" says DR.. Scherer in his re-
port.
There is no evidence that any COM
municable disease has ever been spread
by bathing in the waters of any of our
local lakes. These waters are not Mt
for drinking or cooking, for there is
the constant danger of typhoid, but the
repeated charge that the lakes are con-
demned because they spread infantile
paralysis is false and without the least
foundation in fact. So far this season
there has not been a single case of
poliomyelitis anywhere in the county.
There never was a case that was
traced to the water of any of our
ner-by lakes" he further stated

SIGN VANDALS
DANGEROUS
The Sport of Shooting Highway
Signs Deplored by State
Highway Department.

A wave of sign vandalism resulting
in destruction of public property and
danger to motorists is reported by the
state highway department. In nearly
all sections of the state maintenance
crews on the trunk highways are find
ing an unusual number of road signs
defaced.
In some instances the vandalS even
have used wrenches to unbolt heavy
warning signs and in other cases they
have spent much labor in pulling sign
posts out of the ground bodily. Hunters
also destroy many markers by using
them for shotgun targets.
Signs warning motorists of danger
Gus turns and curves and giving load
limits on small bridges are among those
which have been defaced," said N. W.
Elsberg, highway commissioner. IF the
persons who seem to enjoy this type OF
vandalism could visualize the autmobile
accidents and human suffering which
are likely to result, they would turn
their energies to other channels"

Speaks at Duluth Meet

DR.. O. w. Parker was one of the
principal speakers at the convention OF
the Northern Minnesota Medical associ-

DR.. Parker spoke on fractures and
the treatment of the same. DR.. Parker
stated in his talk that about one-sixth
of all fractures are those of the ankle
joint" and discussed the treatment of
such cases in particular. Most dis
abilities of this type are caused by an
indirect force such as twisting the foot
in or out and occur mostly in robust
healthy adults who are engaged in az
duous occupations or outdoor life, and
usually men," said the speaker, who
recommended the immediate use OF
splints in an emergency treatment.

Guernsey dairy cattle and assurances
have been received that the display OF
HClstein cattle will set high standard.
Entries of sheep growers are coming in
so rapidly that the largest display for
a number of years seems probable.
In connection with the exhibit of
dairy cattle, emphasis is placed on the
fact that herds free of disease are
assured of federal testing Of all dairy
cattle throughout the county. Only cat
tie whose condition is certified will be
admitted.
Fair officials are primarily concerned
with the caliber of exhibits and are
doing great deal of work toward
establishing high standard the first
year under new management. In spite
of this objective, Importance of high
class entertainment is recognized. Many
committee workers are active in arrang-
ing an extensive program which Sec
rotary Pauley believes will have real
public appeal.
Headlining the entertainment will be
the historical pageant, directed by Lee
Bradford, which will surpass in scope
and in elaborateneSs of presentation
any presented to date in St. Louis
county, according to fair officials. More
than so persons, representative of vir-
tually every portion of ST. Louis county,
will comprise the cast. Another SO per-
sons will take part in native folk
dances.
The pageant will be presented at
evening performances in front of the
grandstand, and the stage is being
nearly doubled in size for it's produc-
ton. Nine-tenths of the action will be
realistic portrayal of dramatically i'm
portant developments in history of st.
Louis county. Difficulty of presentation
is increased by the fact that members Of
the cast live in widely separated parts
of the county but exceptional co-opera-
ton has largely overcome this obstacle,
Mr.. Bradford reports.
A water screen will be used for the
pageant. So far as can be determined,
it will be the first time a water screen
