w. X. Gregg, chief Of the weather
bureau here, told Representative
Mansfield. O-Tex) Saturday that
use OF coast guard patrol boats to
assist In checking the path Of
hurricane in the Gulf Of Mexico
was not considered practical.
he sent Mansfield a report Of a
conference Of coast guard and
weather bureau representatives in
1888 which said In part.
Reports required by the bureau
are best secured through coopera-
to OF merchant ships Of all ma
tionalities and Of vessels operated
by the United States government
on their usual routes. To increase
the nurpber Of reports thus receiv-
ed. q plan is under intensive study
by the weather bureau to secure
by direct call radio reports from
ships known to be in disturbed
areas. 1t is believed definitely adj
vantageous results are obtainable
by this method with relatively
small cost. In this project the
coast guard representatives offered
the intensive cooperation OF their
vessels engaged in operations in
waters contiguous to the Gulf and
South Atlantic coasts"
Gregg told Mansfield the weather
bureau has the wholehearted CO.
operation Of the coast guard in the
hurricane warning work.
1T has been repeatedly stated by
n weather bureau that 1t is not
opposed to the ship patrol plan or
any other method that will yield
additional weather observations Of
value when a hurricane is in pro-
greSs," Gregg said. we have not
favored the ship patrol plan be-
cause our experiences with hurri-
canes, covering q period Of many
years, lead us to the conclusion
that 1t would not accomplish what
It's advocates claim for it."

winter showing is his new tailored
evening suit which draws its in

Although patterned on masculine,
tailored lines, these evening suits
are feminine in appearance as they
are fashioned of luxurious velvets
and shimmering lanes which give
them great formality. They consist
of a floor-length skirt, frequently
with added fullness in back or a
demi-train, a tailored coat jacket
and a sleeveless, backless blouse like
the bodice of a formal evening
gown.
Outstanding is a midnight cos

graceful, long and narrow skirt,
slightly trained in back and a
long sleeved tailored jacket with a
touch of electric blue at the high
neckline. The jacket is removed
to reveal a formal evening costume

Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.

Increases in the price of mater

tended.
The Secretary referred to an ar
ticle published some time ago in
the Northwest Miller, a trade pap

wages. salaries, delivery, sales
promotion and advertising were
the chief elements in bread cost.

Landon Pictured
As Starting His
Presidential Bid

Copyright 1895 by United Press
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. IT. U.R)-
Friends of Gov. ALT M. Landon to-
night pictured him as having al
ready started the wind up for a
throw which will catapult his soft
felt campaign hat into the president
ial ring.
The dynamic Kansas Republic
ans decision has been made, 1t
was believed, and the proof lay in
his first public commitment on
campaign issue, the Townsend
Old Age Pension Plan-against it.
Political circumstances have de-
veloped in such fashion in Kansas
, that Landon also would have every
thing to gain and little to lose from
entering the COP. lists for nomin-
alton.
Landon's frankness in handling
the Townsend issue was being ap-
plauded throughout the Midwest.
The aged DR.. F. E. Townsend al
rived in Topeka Monday for a two
hour interview with Landon.
Townsend came fresh from a
meeting with Sen. William E. Bor-
ah. Idaho and the West still were
puzzling over whether B0rah had
given Townsend his blessing or had
said nothing i'm a. nice way.
Landon's answer was definite:
Il believe in old age pensions and
we are working hard to perfect ours
in Kansas, but I cannot go along
with you on your PLAN"
Political observers expect Landon
to speak out with the same frankness
on other campaign issues within a
short time. possibly beginning with
his speech before the Cleveland
Chamber OF Commerce next month.
They do not expect any COM
mittment, however, on allegiance
to the two warning factions of the
party who have been bidding for
his support within the past few
months.
He first chose to stand aloof when
former president Herbert Hoover in
vited him to Palo Alto for confer
ence last August. Later, when Char
les Curtis, Hoover'S Vice President,
came out for dear old Alf," Landon
again was too busy with State affairs
to notice the Hoover taction bid.

as necessitated by emergency con-
ditions. Whether the remedies ad-
opted were actually the best thai

BY ALEXANDER KAHN

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. II. - Buck
Jones and Ken Maynard, rival
western film stars, find few things
to agree upon, but they chorus in
unison that horses have more
brains than many human beings.
To illustrate a horses ability in
following directions, Jones brought
out Silver" his famous movie
horse.
do you like me?" asked Jones.
Silver nodded his head and almost
seemed to grin.
DO you like me a lot?" the cow
boy actor inquired Silver began
bobbing his head quickly.
Il suppose you think you're a
smart horse?' asked Jones. Silver
again nodded.
Go over and get me an orange,
if you're SO smart" Jones COM
manded. The animal walked to a
tree, plucked an orange and dashed
back to Jones with it.
Maynard led his famed "Tar-
Zan' out from a stall to illustrate
that his horse was just as smart"
as Jones animal.
Go bring me your saddle and
blanket" he commanded. Tarzan
trotted back to the stall, picked up
the blanket and brought it to May
nard.
Take it back and bring me a
pail he said. The horse picked
up the blanket again, went to the
stable and returned with the pail
Now give lis good horse laugh, "
Maynard said. Tarzan lifted his
head, barred his teeth and hee-heed
as thought he had heard good joke.
Didn't 1 tell you a horse has

ically if, since no war had been Off
cially declared, there was any reason
Italy might not ask Ethiopian au-
AhoritieS to return the bombs, Slight
ly used, to Eritrea.
MacLean said that although no
war had been declared. one GER
tainly was being fought and that
his broadcast might be the last
from Adds Ababa if Italian bomb
ers should visit the black capital.
The streets were full OF half-sav-
age Ethiopian soldiers, preparing
to leave for the front, he said, and
they showed little love for any

ed.

they don't call it a war yeti"

so when a private from Kambata
shakes his spear in my face-civil-

won't hurt me. II draw back when
he shakes his spear he just laughs

That's the closest I can come to
the words. II doesn't sound like
much when I say it, but when you
hear $4,000 men pouring out their
voices in howl of hate, it makes
you think perhaps the Italians
won't have the push-over they
expected.
1t was easy to tell that MacLean's
sympathies were entirely with the
Ethiopians.
"Of course it's just a little tin-pot
