SMASHING OF

S110,073 Less Loot Taken
in Indiana in 1884, War
rick Reports.

Smashing of the bandit gangs of
"big time" criminals, such as John
Dillinger, was credited by Don E.
Warrick, Indiana Bankers Associa-
ton secretary, yesterday for the de-
crease of Indiana bank robberies
during 1884.
There were 26 less bank robberies
and $110,073.26 less tribute paid to
pirates Of banditry in 1884 than in
the preceding year, records of the
Banking Association reveal. Ten
bank robberies and two messenger
holdups caused a loss Of SCI, 384.74
during the last year, Mr.. Warrick
announced.
A vigorous, effective state police
organization, under the leadership
of Al Feeney, State Public Safety
Director, is credited by the asso-
citation for the SO per cent decrease
in bank robberies.
Advent of the state police radio
system and ablishment Of police
barracks are expected by the bank
ers and Gov. Paul V. McNutt fur
Their to reduce the record of crime.
Federal legislation, providing Fed
eral punishment for the robbery OF
any bank that is a member of the
Federal Reserve system, must share
part of the credit for the reduction
of Indiana crimes, the association
believes.

URGES FEDERAL
UTILITY HOLDING
GROUP CONTROL
u. S. Power Commission
Asks New Authority in
Annual Report.
81 United Press

s3V United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. a.-Federal
control of electric holding COM
panies was recommended to Con-
gress today by the Federal Power
Commission in its annual report.
The report was made public yester-
day
Regulation and control is not
only a necessity for the protection
Of consumers and investors in the
operating the companies. the COM
mission asserted, but likewise TOR
the protection Of the public rights
which the Federal Water Power Act
seeks to preserve in the water re-
sources of the nation"
The commission at present has no
direct authority over holding COM
panies and can not force them to
produce their books and records.
Shortage Claimed
It charged that the companies
frequently used this fact to block
the commissions attempts TO get
''the facts necessary to determine
the actual legitimate cost of prof.
ects." data necessary to judge the
justice of electric power rates.
The commission said that its legal
division was considering recommen-
dalton Of specific legislation to give
it control of the holding companies.
President Roosevelt said in his
message to Congress Friday, THE
evil features of. holding companies
should be abolished"
A preliminary report on the ma
tional power survey ordered by
President Roosevelt may show a Sc
riOus shortage in some districts, con-
trary to claims Of utilities COM
panies. the commission said.
Preliminary examination of re-
ports from private companies and
municipal plants indicate that. con-
trary to claims of interested par
ties, resumption of normal indus
trial activity may disclose a critical
shortage Of power capacity in GER
tain districts" the commission said.
President Gets Weapon
The report gave President ROose-
welt another powerful weapon in his
fight for lower utility rates. 1t sup
ports his contention that there is
need for Federal power distributing
systems.
Private utilities have contended
that they are now more than able
to care for power demands. This
has been an argument against the
huge GOvernment-f1nanced power
projects such as the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority, the Columbia River
development, and the proposed st.
Lawrence hydro-electric plan.
The power report is to be ready
about June. A preliminary report
may be submitted some time this
month. however. The survey in
cludes four phases:
l. Determination of power ca
pacity as related to demand.
2. Rural electrification.
3. Potential power sites to be
classified with reference to capacity
cost, and accessibility to market.
4. Costs of distribution-the first
nationwide survey of this type-to
determine their relation to rates
and character Of service.

Look for this plant about June. BY
then, the many slender panicles of
dropping flowers, slightly tinged with
coral. will tint the fields with their
ruddy glow. The plant is a member
of the useful buckwheat family. All
members have swollen joints, and at
the base of the leaves, scalelike
Sheaths.
BY Autumn, there are millions OF
seeds ready to be scattered by the
winds. All of them are sharply three

The slightly fieshy leaves, that look
so tender and green in the early
Spring, are not at all unpleasant to
eat. Many pioneer women learned to
cook them, so that they were palatable.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPROWLS.

VISION.
IMAGINE. If you can, for that's all
you can do without high-powered
microscope, the inner surface of your
eye. 1t is literally crowded with tiny
chemical vats which contain what
are known as "Sensic substances" I"
Some of these sensic substances. when
aroused, give you the sensation of
white. others black and still others
the thousands of combinations known
as grays. Then there are others that
give you the sensation of red, orange,
yellow, green. blue. indigo and violet,
as we'll as the thousands Of combina-
tions of these colors. At the same
time the black-white or gray series
mixes with the color series and gives
rise to many thousands of color tints
and hues.
The next question Is: What starts
the chemical reaction in the tiny
vats? To explain this we must go
back to that mysterious thing called
ether. 1t seems that ether waves are
given of by all objects. The vibra-
ton rates of these ether waves vary
between 100000. .000, 600, 900 and 912.-
600 .000. 600, 900 per second. Leaving
off the II ciphers in every case. We
have the following rates for different
color sensations: A 450 rate arouses
the sensic substances in the red watts;
472. orange; 526. yellow; 589, green;
$40, blue: 722. indigo: 100, violet;
800, the ultraviolet ray.
Now why do we see? Because ether
waves of different rates Of vibration,
coming from objects of different COL
ors and tints, arouse their appropriate
sensic substances in the delicate lin
ing of the eye. There the chemical
reactions are transferred into a nerve
impulse, end carried by the optic
nerve to the brain.
