Weather Blamed in
Crash of Bomber
In Wyoming Hills

LYMAN, Wyo.. June II. lUP)--
Army men today examined the
wreckage of big, two-engined B-ld
bomber which carried six men to
their deaths, as the chief of the
inyeltigatorss Maj. Don Benner,
expressed belief bad flying weather
had caused the crash.
The bomber took off from Fort
Douglas, Salt Lake City, Sunday
for a routine trip to Chicago. Scarce
y an hour later it slammed nose
first into sage covered slope in
southwestern Wyoming, 20 miles
north of Lyman, cracking the bod
of the ship in two and killing al
occupants.
Rancher Edwin Syme, 30 led
army officers and sheriffs deputies
to the shattered plane. The bodies,
jammed into the froEt of the fuse
lage. were taken to Fort Douglas
Syme said it looked like motor
trouble because of the rolling coun-
try where the crash occurred. Lack
of obstacles into which a plane fly
ing blind might have blundered,
and the position of the wreckage,
indicating the bomber fell suddenly,
nose-firSt.
The victims were:
Capt. David N. N1otherWell, 35,
Gordonsville, Va, the pilot.
Lieut.. Theodore F. Holsteen, Bur-
lington, Ohio.
Lieut.. Lyman K. Harvey, Lake
wood, Iowa.

WPA and Defense

WPA Commissioner Hunter said
total average WPA employment

said almost 80 percent of all WPA
workers were employed on national
defense projects in June and cuts
will be made more slowly from
these projects than others.
Increased Wages
The Labor Department announc-
ed weekly earnings of wage earn
ers in manufacturing industries in
May rose to a new high of S30.69,
a rise of percent since this April
and 21 percent over May, 1910.
Hourly rates moved up to an aver
age of 72.6 cents, gain of 2.5 per-

over the same month last year. The

rose to the highest level in II years

Radiant Living
KNOWING HOW TO
LIVE
By Rev. c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Nd.

The most important thing in life
is to know how to live it. That a
great many people do not know
how to live it. That a great many
people do not know how to live
happily is evident by the kind of
life they are experiencing day after
day.
The jealousies, the quarrels, the
headaches, the heartaches, the
nervousness, most of the sickness
and many of the accidents that fill
their lives proclaim the woeful lack
of skill in right living.
All the facts that enter into the
making happy life may be divid-
ed into two distinct classes, the
material and the spiritual.
1t is only natural that the en-
phasis in ones life should be on the

material factors. But the exclu-
sion Of the spiritual factors from
your life is a sad mistake.
An unshaken confidence in God,
an intimate use of prayer, a pur-
poseful guidance of ones actions
along the lines of Divine law, the
infusing into ones daily life the
principle of Christian love, are
some of the spiritual factors that
play a vital part in happy living.
Exclude these spiritual factors
from your life and you deprive
yourselves of the power to face diff
ficult situations with courage and
with the assurance of victory. Ex-
clude these spiritual factors from
your life and you will have nothing
to hold you should the storms OF
life sweep your material founda-
tions out from under you.
| Life without God is like a sky
without sunlight, like flowers with.
out color, like a mother without
love.
You have life to live. You want
to make the most of it. The secret
lies in the development of the spir.
itual side, to learn Gods truths anG
to live the everyday life in fullest
harmony with these truths.

Aluminium Collection

OPM Conservation Chief MeCon-
nell announced housewives dona-
tions of used aluminium ware dur
ing the collection campaign July

more than 1000 additional fighting
planes. He said tests indicated a
minimum of 100000 net pounds
usable in defense manufacture will
be collected in the national CAM
paign. Civilian Defense Director
LaGuardia said State Procurement
officers of the Treasury Depart
ment will direct shipment of COL
lected material from concentration
points in each State to the nearest
selected smelter.
Price Administrator Henderson
said additional supplies of waste
paper and cardboard are needed for
packing articles produced by de-
fense industries and urged that
waste paper be saved by the house
holder for collection by waste pap
er dealers.
Prices
Labor Secretary Perkins an
nounced retail food prices increased
II percent during the last two
weeks of June, in addition to 1.6
percent in the first two weeks of
the month. Principal rises We're in
the price of eggs, lard, butter, pork
chops and canned tomatoes, she
said.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference he is considering placing
a ceiling on rents and on commod-
tiles and asking Congress to put
teeth" in price-fixing measures.
Price Administrator Henderson,
speaking at Atlantic City, said
costs and prices have risen at the
wholesale level and will soon hit
the nations pocketbooks. Before
long, he said there will be more
purchasing power running around
hunting something to buy than
there are goods available"

This Week
In Defense

The War Department asked Con-
gress for legislation to retain the
National Guard, Reserves and Sc
lectees for the duration of the en-
ergency. President Roosevelt told
his press conference that unless
Congress acts the Army faces SER
ious disintegration.
The President said no violation
of contract or faith would be en-
tailed in such extension of service,
because the Selective Service Act
had provided for such extension of
service by Congress in the event of
a national emergency.
The War Department announced
initial deliveries of the A-24, a new
dive bomber that can outperform
those used by other nations. The
Department said rifles and sub
machine guns are now being pro-
duced at daily rate of 1,500, COM
pared with 2s9 one year ago. I'm
der Secretary Patterson issued a
statement of Army progress show
ing expenditures increased six-fold
in the past fiscal year.
Lend-Lease Aid
President Roosevelt sent Lend
Lease Administrator Hopkins to
London for new survey of British
needs, and assigned two Army gen.
erals to speed the flow of munitions
and food to Britain. The Surplus
Marketing Administration purchas-
ed 30,000,000 pounds of tobacco, D.

gram to give preference over other

tenance parts for privately-owned
automobiles, trucks, trailers, trac-
tors, household refrigerators, stow
es, ranges and water heaters,

ments and eye-glass frames and

Ships
The Maritime Commission said
expansion of the merchant ship
building program requested from
the Congress would provide 566
new ships by the end of 1913. AL
