CLEVELAND, Oct. 26-Dr An tonic Longoria, who once perfected death ray machine, said today it was possible such rays would be used in the present European war but that he would never reveal his secret or help recreate such an ap- paratus
 The Cleveland inventor who built machine in 1923 that he said kill ed pigeons on the wing at four miles, destroyed it because of its danger
 Its quite possible that someone may stumble across the particular electric wave I used,p he said. T found it accidentally myself and am certainty not proud of the dis covery. The machine killed small animals, and it could kill humans just as easily.
 @The ray lies in one of the un- explored frequency bands in the vii cinity of the X-ray. It kills pain iessly. without burning, by changing the blood to a useless substance as light changes silver salts in pho- 1ography'

T0M-T0MS CHASE WOLF FROM DOOR
 OF THE WIGWAM

PAWNEE, Okla, Oct. 26.-They made enough tom toms in Pawnee this year to call all the Indian tribes in the world to the warpath.
 But not a single brave became pugnacious. Very few of the tonl- toms sounded so much as a single boom. Instead the Indians sold them, all 25,000 tom -toms-and that just about makes Pawnee one of the Indian curio capitals of the nation.
 Three summers ago about the only thing that distinguished Paw nee from a lot of other American industrial towns was it's larger than-ordinary Indian population.
 Then Ray o. Lyon, a blue-eyed whiteman, moved in from South Dakota and took charge of an h. dian trading post.
 The first thing he did was apply large-scale mail-oder principles to the selling of Indian curios. His catalog was illustrated magnificent ly. He boasted that his Indian post could supply any article ever made or used by American Indians or cow boys and in addition he stocked rare Mexican handiwork.
 And so ever since there has been no depression for the 200-odd In- dian craftsmen who supply the post with it's stocks.
 The drums are the chief products and they range all the way from little 30-cent souvenirs for tourists to expensive toms that are used by other Indians.

Many move to poor farms, un- suited to cotton production with tractors. A larger number migrate to towns and cities to become com mon laborers. Many remain in the open country as farm or common laborers.
 "The displaced family faces the prospect of lower income. The typical farm tenant in the high plains or the blacklands may be expected to earn a net income of from $500 to $1000 annually, even with cotton prices as they are to- day. As either a common or an agricultural laborer the same ten ant cannot be expected to earn more than $250 to $500"

CIRCUS FILM K 4| NOW PLAYING
 AT CAPITOL
Peek $ Bad Boy" Stars Tommy Kelly and
 Ann 6iIlis

Acclaimed by Hollywood critics as enc of the more hilarious mirth out bursts emanating from the film studios this year, "Peck's Bad Boy With the Circus" ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre screen as the newest chronicle of Bill Peck's lov- able pranks and misadventures.
 Tommy Kelly, who played the top rele in Adventures of Tom Sawyer is starred as Bill Peck in this, the first of a series based on the comical activities of this beloved light of literature. Ten-year-old Ann Gillis, who also appeared in Tom Saw yer" plays a juvenile circus bare back rider. Edgar Kennedy portrays a circus lion trainer, and other prin- cipal roles are enacted by such not ables as Billy Gilbert, Benita Hume, spanky MacFarland and Louise Beavers, directed by Edward r Cline.
 This time the colorful big top is the exciting scene for Bill Peck's trouble-making but laugh-provcking antics. Fleeced of his railroad fare to camp, Bill joins up with travel ing circus to obtain his transporta- tion-and revenge. His boyish feats like feeding sleeping potions se- creted in frankfurters to the man. eating contribute to the gen. erous hilarity of "Peck's Bad Boy With the Circus" The film is cli- maxed by rousing cross-country race in a Roman chariot to camp, where Bill wins a laugh- and action laden obstacle race.

human beings are needed to produce cotton
 A National Resources Committee report says the number of man. hours required to produce a bale of cotton was 3o4 in 1880, 2s5 in 1900 ana 2S5 in 1930. A WPA report says the average has been reduced from 27l in l007-1l to 218 in 193336.
 c. Horace Hamilton, economist of the Texas Agricultural Experiment station, says
 The displacement Of from three Co five families by one tractor is not uncommon Assuming that one trac- tor will dispiace one family only, more than 60000 farm families have probably been displaced from Texas since 1900.
