Bankers Refuse TO Take Warrants
Issued Under Pension Plan

sued under a proposed $50 Every
Thursday" pension plan.
Lauder Hodges, the associations
executive manager. said the war
rants would be simply pieces Of
paper giving the person who holds
them the privilege Of paying a two
cent tax every week"
in view of the nature Of these
so-called warrants" Hodges said, 1t
is obvious that banks could not
cash them, regardless Of whether or
not stamps had been affixed"
The pension plan. which goes on
the ballot as an initiative measure
in November, provides for the issu-
ance CT 80 warrants of 81 denomi-
nation every week to all unem-
ed persons so years of age or older
Hodges said his findings on the
proposal were based on practical
considerations" and the rules of law
governing the duty of banks to de-
positors and stockholders.

John Citizens of London Shop
For Bomb-Proof Cellars

LONDON, Sept. 15.-John Citizen
CT Great Britain new can shop for
air raid shelters just as he does for
neckties or hats.
There is not much choice in ma
terial. because the one mostly des
ignated is Portland cement con-
crete, reinforced with steel bars.
But John Citizen can have his
choice Of various kinds of air raid
shelters for his own home. He can
can choose whether to have it in
the basement Of his home or along
side it, or out in the garden be-
meath the surface of the earth. If
he is the owner Of a big shop or Of
factory he can buy bigger shelters
TO take care of employees.
All this pother is due to the fact
that responsible men in the govern
ment are convinced that, if Britain
is ever involved in a war with a
first class European power, large
British cities will be targets for
war from the air Therefore, the
dangers to civilians against which
protection must be afforded, are
mainly from falling bombs.
1t is recognized that. particular
ly in dwelling houses it would be
almost an economic impossibility to
provide complete protection from di-
rect hits by huge bombs But it is
possible to have protection from
impact, explosion, air disturbance
or blast, earth vibration, flying
fragments CT splinters, falling build
ing material, fire gas, chemicals
and bacteria.

Probe Begun
In Collapse of
School Roof

CLARKDALE, Ariz., Sept Is. UP)
School authorities, unable to eX-
plain why the plaster and steel roof
of the Clarkdale high school audi
torium collapsed on nearly 100 pu-
pills and injured 40, today began an
investigation of the building.
The roof fell with an explosive
roar yesterday as the children sat
at their books in the second floor
auditorium which was being used as
a study hall. More than score
were caught beneath the falling
ceiling and others, panic-stricken,
were showered with debris.

main room, an ante-chamber to
from an airlock to prevent free pass
age of air from the outside, small
er toilet room and a small stor,-
room. The best place for this is in
the basement.
The Home Office has stated that
III determining accommodation of an
unventilated air raid shelter, rs
square feet of surface area, in
Guiding floors, ceiling and walls, is
to be allowed to person for per-
iod not exceeding six hours. There
fore a room nine feet by nine and
eight feet high is adequate for six
persons. If there were an air fill
ter, this accommodation would suf-
flee for longer than six hours at
stretch. The storeroom would be
fitted up with first-aid outfits, rugs,
timed foods, water and other nee
essary supplies 1t is estimated that
such a shelter could be constructed
for as little as 5000.
OF course, the government is not
relying upon people as whole do
ing this for themselves. Therefore
it is arranging for public shelters in
case of war. Many big shops and
factories are contracting for their
own air raid shelters. These, ac-
accommodating many employees, will
of course, cost considerable sums of
money. The Cement and Concrete
Association has drawn up ready
made plans for these, based not
only on their own calculation, but
on knowledge OF what the French
and the Germans are doing in the
same line.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 6 QN.SO.
M. L. Annenberg, publisher of the

reprimanded by the State supreme
court for publication of a copy
righted article last Monday morn
ing accurately foretelling the
courts action a few hours later
on the Earle grand jury laws.
After criticizing Annenberg,
who stood before the bar of the
court, Chief Justice John w.

This record is certified to the
district attorney of Philadelphia
county for such criminal or
other action as he may see fit
to take"
The court issued no instructions
for prosecution other than these
which apparently leave the matter
in the hands of the Philadelphia
district attorney to proceed as his
discretion dictates.

admitted had he been consulted he

Steeplejack
Continues

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 6
G.N.S0.-There was a touch of
madness again today in Ander-
sons political warfare as j. G.
Stafford, itinerant steeplejack,
continued his sit-down strike atop
the flagpole on the Madison
county courthouse.
Yesterday an attempt to haul
down a banner at Republican
headquarters resulted in a short
circuit that caused a $1,000 fire
at the Grand Hotel and drove so
guests from their rooms.
Stafford shouted to a crowd
$50 feet below that the county
commissioners had defrauded him
of $3.50 of the $3.50 they had
agreed to pay him for painting the
courthouse dome and clock last
June. He communicated with the
ground by notes tossed to his son
and slid up and down the flag
rope from time to time for
amusement.

TOLEDO. Ohio, Oct. 6 G.N.SO.
Explosion of five oil switches in
the plant of the Toledo Edison
Company today caused the serious
injury of two men and paralyzed
all business dependent on electric
power.
Street cars and trolley buses
were stalled in the streets, radio
stations were quiet, and stores
and heavy industries were required
to close. The noon edition of the
Toledo Blade could not be pub

to run the presses.
Carl Ronfeldt, switchboard at

not expected to live. Charles Bald

wall. He is expected to recover.
