The American Sportsmen and
Hunting Dogs Association hopes
to hold q ceremony tomorrow
night honoring Lady, an old and
blind dog, but plans for the cere-
mony depend upon whether
Lady lives to attend 1t.
Last Friday Lady plodded

house of Q neishbor, Mrs. Rachel

The plight of Mrs. Dion. whose

attracted Mrs. De Rosia's atten-
ton.
The thugs who robbed Mrs.
Dion also beat Lady 50 severely

a "double-crossing policy" in
fulfillment Of the obligations un-
dertaken in the agreement with
Russia and Britain which ended
their invasion Of Iran a few

The Iranian government, Tass
said, undertook to expel from
the country all German agents

Commission we're nullified by
a series of opinions on proper

next spring"
The opinions of the prosecu-'

for its own roads, and townships
cannot abrogate that right and
duty.

for 1880 miles Of McNitt roads

CHICAGO, Sept. 10 up -
Upon two important factors
which tend to check food price
advances - consumer resistance
and rapid expansion of produc-
tion-rested today any hopes for
. showdown in the rising cost OF
eating.
Frankly, commodities m n
here do not expect the upward
trend to be changed, especially
during the winter months. The
best that can be hoped for, they
say, is that the rise in a few
items may be slowed and per-
haps halted or reversed. AS long
as food shoppers have more
money to spend, they said,
prices will be strong, larger sup
plies notwithstanding.
In action strikingly parallel
to that of the second year OF the
World War, food costs have risen
to the highest general level since
early in 1890 in wholesale mar
kets, while in retail markets con-
sumers are paying the highest
prices in q decade.
Analysis of commodity mar
kets here showed prices paid

SIGHT FLEEING MAN
Both Mrs. Jacobey and her
husband said they saw a man
flee through a nearby field soon
after the shots were fred in her
direction.
The fire broke out during the
excitement and all efforts to
save the dogs and equipment
failed.
The barn and its contents
were not insured, and damage
was estimated at approximately
$4,000.

with the. Field Control Tower,
Second Lieuts. Ralph Garman

flew beneath Lieut.. Peterson's
craft to find out what was the
matter. They reported that the

lodged.
Officers in the Radio Control
tower on the Field directed
Lieut.. Peterson to pilot his plane
toward Utica and select an open
field for crash While the
Lieutenant circled over q field
the Signal Corps rushed q mobile
unit to Utica and communication
between the pilot and officers on
the ground was resumed.
After considering such factors
as wind currents, wind direction
and velocity. the ground crew
ordered Lieut.. Peterson to an al
titude of 5000 feet. Then he was
instructed to put his craft into a
dive at a designated angle and
bail out.
Everything worked out &C.
cording to calculations. The
P-43, diving at an estimated
speed of 800 miles an hour,
crashed into the middle of the

Civilian ~
Defense -
A Series BY
Henry Reese
Defense Coovdinotor

and its many Advisory Commit
tees will include many women in
its membership. These women
workers will function with the
men in the several branches of
the work performed by the
Council.
In addition to these women
serving as Committee Members,
many requests have been re-
ceived from others who wish to
volunteer for Special Defense
activities.
1t has been suggested that the
Defense Council create as one
of its departments a Women's
Civilian Defense Unit. If this Is
acted upon favorably, the Chair
man of the Council may appoint
a committee of women to organ
ize such a unit.
Full authority for the Local
Defense Program rests with the
Council of Defense and 1t should
be clearly understood that the
proposed Women's Defense Unit
will act as a part of the Local
Defense Council and should have
its plans approved by and co-or-
dinated with the Local Defense
Council.
1t would be disastrous to the
Defense Program in any COM
munity if the women were to
run their Defense Program ac-
cording to the enthusiasm of
leaders without regard to the
whole program of Civilian De-
tense as channeled from the Ma
tional Council down to the Local
Defense Council.
The purpose of Women's De-
Tense Unit is to stir and lead
other women in the community
to help in those many aspects
of the Local Defense which
women can do best.
When the leaders of the
Women's Defense Unit have
been appointed, one of their first
duties will be to conduct q reg
istration of volunteers at which
all women who are willing to
give service in some phase of the
Defense Program should regis
ter. Enrolment application
blanks are already available and
w ON en- interested in civilian
work may complete their ap-
plication in advance o. the for
hal announcement of the for
nation of the WomeIl Defense
Unit.
When a sufficient number of
volunteers have been accepted,
the leaders of the Women's De-
Tense Unit, with the approval of
the Local Defense Council, will
assign the volunteers to differ
ent activities that will be most
needed in the Local Defense
Program. Certain kinds of VOL
unteer service will be more i'm
portant than others, and not all
phases of the Defense Program
can be organized at this initial
stage. However, in the course of
few weeks, all those who reg
lister and are qualified should be
assigned to some form of vol
unteer defense activity.
The Local Defense Council or
through the proposed Women's
Defense Unit will not set up any
new training courses where the
work or training is already being
done by existing organizations.
Many of the activities named be-
low are already thoroughly or
ganized by permanent agencies,
in which cases, volunteers ac-
copied in. the Women's Defense
Unit will help as part of such
agencies.
The field of activity Is so
varied that women of all circum-
stances can help in one way or
another. The busy housewife
can help in some phase of the
Defense Program which takes
her out of the home. In true
American fashion, the proposed
Women's Defense Unit should
be composed of patriotic women
of all circumstances.
