Persons Wearing
Unauthorized
Service Uniforms
To Be Fined

NEW ORLEANS - A friendly
warning was issued today to fad
dists who might be wearing por-
tions of armed services uniforms
without authorization
The law provides heavy penal
ty for any person not an officer
or enlisted man of the United
States Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
or Coast Guard who wears "a uni
form any part of which is similar
to a distinctive part of the duly
PRESCRIBED uniform" of the military
services Eighth Naval District
headquarters said.
Commenting on the recent fad
among high school girls in New
Orleans for wearing portions of
uniforms brought back from serv-
ice by friends and relatives, the
district legal office quoted a sec
ton on protection of the uniform"
in the federal law governing mill
tary dress. 1t provides that con-
victed offenders be punished by a
fine not exceeding $500. or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding six
months, or by both such fine and
Imprisonment.
The law allows for wearing of
military uniforms by such organ
izations as the Boy Scouts, militia,
and cadet corps, and by veterans
on occasions of ceremony, Cmdr.
/. N. Klein, USN, acting district
legal officer, said However, he
warned, it specifically prohibits the
wearing of insignia of the armed
forces by civilians.

0at Acreage Up
1000 Percent
On State Farms

STATE COLLEGE, Miss.-A ten
fold oat acreage increase and to-
tai production increase of thirteen
fold since 1884, denote one of the
most significant changes in Missis-
sippi Agriculture, especially when
considered in relation to a substan-
tial increase in hay acreage and a
substantial decline in corn acreage
during the same period.
These findings taken fro ma sta
tistical study of state farm crops
by H. p Todd of the Mississippi
Experiment Station and based in
turn on agricultural census data just
now becoming available, indicate
readjustments under way to meet
increased needs for feed crops.
llars-and-cents values per acre
apparently had quite bit to do
with the changed farm program.
Figures cited by Mr. Todd show
that in 1914, corn occupied SO per
cent of the harvested cropland, yet
was valued at IS million dollars or
crops. Cotton and cottonseed, on "a
per cent of the cropland, was val
ued at 256 million dollars or "a
per cent of the value of all crops.
On the average, cottonseed and cot
tonseed yielded $11O per acre, corn
$24 per acre, oats $35 per acre, hay
$25 per acre, and other crops 500
per acre.
After increasing from about 2
million acres in 1929 to over mil
lion acres in 1884, corn acreage
declined 2.6 million acres in 1914.

Stock Market IdIes
IN Irregular Range
After Spotty Week
By Victor Eubonk
Issoeiassd Press Flnoneial Writsr

NEW YORK, April 26.-In one of
the slowest sessions for the past
three years, the stock market today
emerged from a somewhat spotty
week with mild irregularity per-
sisting.
The list rallied selectively in the
forepart of the week but subse-
quently lost ground. Early en-
thusiasm over wage pacts in the
steel and automotiye fields even
tually chilled when the question
arose as to whether widespread pay
boosts, combined with mounting
pressure for voluntary price reduc-
tions, might narrow profit margins
and threaten dividends.
Doubts regarding taxes, business
and foreign affairs remained as
handicaps. A certain amount OF
buying was predicated on dividends
earnings and hopes for a technical
rebound.

recognition that their rehabilitation
depends not nearly so much upon
punishment and exhortation to re-

edge and procedures with the help
of the Alcoholics Anonymous Pro-

Progress is being made by those
who care, in medicine and physoch-

thods. But prevention still is largely
unsolved. Research and study in this
field has been started by the Re-
search Council on Problems of Alco-
hol.
Uncontrolled drinking has been
called public health problem number

terms of numbers of people affected
and its impact upon the health and

a more serious problem than tuber-

Form Products and Prices:

In spite of high prices farmers get
for their products, they are not as
we'll off as factory workers. In Oct
ober, according to the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, the average
prices farmers received were 289 per
cent above the average prices re-
ceiv during 1904. In economic Ian
guage 19l0-14 is the accepted base
period" for comparison and is equal
to 100 per cent. Weekly wage earn
ings of factory workers were up 437
per cent more than in 1904.
In other words, the farmer today
is getting 1898 from the same pro-
ducts that he got $1.00 for in 1904.
His factory cousin is getting S4.37
for fewer hours of work than ne sold
his employer for $1.00 in 1904.
Prices farmers pay are nearly two
and a half times as high as during
the base period. Farm wage rates
are more than four times as high.
Food prices are about two and a half
times as high.
Prices farmers received in 1913
probably will average as high as
in 1947. Prices paid ma v~increase
The result will be a lower net in
