ASSAILS MOODIE FOR REJECTING ARMORIES Jamestown Man Says WPA Chief Turned Thumbs Down - on Construction Plans Jamestown, N. D., Feb. 20.—()— “The WPA directors of every state in the union, with the single exception of Thomas Moodie of North Dakota, have approved state armory-audito- rium construction programs,” Percy M. Hansen, chairman of the James- town Chamber of Commerce audi- torium committee, Thursday advised Adjt.-Gen, Frayne Baker. Hansen has just returned from making a per- sonal investigation of the matter at Washington, D. C. “The entire program has been ap- proved by the state WPA directors in approximately 30 states,” Hansen's report said, and parts of the program have been officially approved in 17 states. In about 20 states the actual work of construction is already under way. “Mr. Moodie has been quoted as stating that he is not permitted to approve projects with a greater man- year cost than $572, Under date of November 26, 1935, Mr. Moodie wrote to Colonel L. R. Baird, asserting that the armory-auditorium program in North Dakota is ‘definitely out’ and added, ‘I am calling your attention to the fact that the man-year costs of $880 are entirely out of line.’ “Projects which have been ap- proved by other state WPA directors and subsequently approved by Wash- ington authorities range all the way from @ man-year cost of $600 to more than $1,800. In fact, in a letter to President Roosevelt, the National Guard Association of the United States points out that the average ™man-year cost of all of the projects from the 47 states which received ‘WPA approval is $1,130. This letter is signed by Maj.-Gen. Roy D. Keehn and Brig.-Gen. Thomas E. Rilea.” Another paragraph in Hansen's re- port states, “An officer high in na- tional affairs but whose name I am not permitted to use, quoted Mr. Moodie as saying to him personally, ‘If these projects (armory-audito- rium) had originated from any other source, we would have two or three already under construction in North Dakota.’ ” E MOODIE HAS NOTHING TO SAY Thomas H. Moodie, state WPA di- rector, said he had “nothing to say” regarding the report on the proposed armory construction program filed by Percy M. Hansen of Jamestown. ‘FALSE TEETH Can Not Embarrass Most wearers of false teeth have suffered real embarrassment because their teeth dropped or slipped at just the wrong time.

Henry Holleman, director of the play, has selected Edward Hen- nessy to create the leading male role of Cyrus.. Marian Curran plays op- posite him. Mary Cayou and Phillip Gorman carry the romantic interest, John Reibold has the role of the smooth Chester Armstrong, and Glenn Kennedy gives the amusing charac- terization of the minister. Other parts are being capably handled by Merrill McCurry, Helena Schaefer, Elizabeth Enright and Paul Gorman. The technical staff assisting with the production is composed of Albert V. Hartl, stage manager; Rosalind Fortune, Arlene Wagner, Ruth Hint- gen and Jean Roherty, properties; Genevieve Parsons and Marian Burke, tickets; Miss Roherty, publicity; Claire Fox, Helen Jaszkowiak, Mar- garet Fox and Jean McKinnon, pro- grams, and Margaret Fortune, Prompter.

PATERA IS HERO OF ODD BOWLING TILT Picks Up Split on Last Ball to Enable Team to Win Tie Game by Fraction Frank Patera, anchor man of the Wonder Loaf trundlers in the Com- mercial League, played the Casey-at- the-Bat role for his team Wednesday night but succeeded where Casey didn’t. With the Service Electric quint 10 pins ahead, Patera found himself polsed at the start of the drive with ‘one more ball to roll and a 2-4-9 split facing him. If he failed to pickup the split, the Electric keglers would win. If he spared, the Bakers would tie the count. Calmly Patera stepped forward, swung his black bomb back in an arching loop, slid forward swiftly and sailed the spheroid down the maple in @ clean-breaking hook that knocked the kindling into the pit. Because the Bakers had given: the Electric five a 94.3 pin handicap, the Bakers got the benefit of the fraction according to ABC rules. It was the first time this year that @ tie game had been rolled in any of Bismarck’s three bowling leagues. Devlin, Moelier and Ottum of the Tribune five also accomplished some- thing of a rarity when they picked up three splits in succession in one frame.

Today, the general fare system is) based on 3.6 cents a mile in the east, 2 cents in the west, and 114 cents in the south. The most likely plan is a permanent basis of 2 cents a mile in coaches and 3 cents a mile Pull- man sleeping cars. Western and southern roads which have been experimenting with lower fare schedules, have actually increas- ed their revenue, while in the east, where no reduction was made, no in-! crease in revenues has appeared. | The aim Is to try to fill empty train | seats at lower fares instead of try- ing to make a profit with high fares and half-empty trains, Few Making Money Fewer than 16 major passenger routes in the whole United States are making money at the old basic fare of 3.6 cents a mile, the standard rate for several decades. Extra-fare, solid- Pullman trains, such as those on the New York-Chicago run, ,where busi- ane is heavy, can do it, Others can’t. As worked out on the western lines between Chicago and the Pacific coast, this three-class system has been nothing less than a revolution in rail travel. It has introduced more com- fort in “coach,” or third-class travel, than the extra-fare trains had a few years ago. ‘The North Pacific has spent a fort- une on new modern day coaches. They are soundproofed, running gear insulated with rubber, have rubber- tile floors, drinking fountains, and dressing rooms at either end. Real Comfort Provided The seats revolve like parlor car seats, and a reclining position is pos- sible at night. Each such coach car- ries @ porter-steward, The Milwaukee, the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, and the Santa Fe have all adopted similar coaches to compete with the transcontinental bus business. Second-class, on the western lines, costs about 25 per cent more than the minimum coach charge. This in- cludes a tourist sleeper berth at a cost of 50 per cent less than standard sleeping car charges. The cars used are remodeled standard sleeping cars. ‘Travelers in this class as well as in the day coaches use the regular din- ing car, and tray service in the cars Princess Is Mother The infanta Beatriz (above), wife of Prince Alessandro Torionia, gave birth to a daughter in Rome, the first grandchild of former King Al. fonso of Spain, (Associated Press Photo) comparable to what one pays when stopping at way stations on a bus trip. Ride in Luxary The entire train beyond the dining car is resefved for first-class pas- sengers in standard Pullmans. In this section of the train are the dé luxe sleeping cars with individual air- conditioning in each berth, lounge- observation car, bar, barber shop, baths, library, radio, and the like. Thus it may be seen that passengers in all three classes on the same train are getting greater comfort so far as their own accommodations are con- cerned, The greatest difference is in the amount of space they occupy on the train. The day coach, or third- class passengers, though getting no berths at night, are more luxuriously ers were a few years ago. The sec- ond-class, or tourist, passengers, have almost the same accommodations as hang of lounge cars and special serv- ice, Food Far Cheaper Dining car service on these trains has been designed to offer meals at anywhere from 35 cents to 80 cents, with tray service for sandwiches, cof- fee, and light food at lunch wagon prices. Eastern roads making money at the present rates are fighting the lower schedule. But the success of the western system makes it likely that the easterners will be forced to try the new three-class system with low- er minimum rates. Backers of this system say that in- from wagons is also available at prices accommodated than Pullman passeng- creased patronage will more than make up for any losses. the first-class, barring only the lux-/ HOUSEHOLD BUDGET Common Through Rules Laid Down by RRA Budgeting the household is a prac- tice which is becoming increasingly common with farm wives, according to Ruth M. Olson, whose appoint- ment as emergency. rural supervisor in Burleigh county was announced recently by Howard Wood, state di- rector of the resettlement adminis- tration. Clients of the resettlement admin- istration are required to work out and follow budgeted plans for home as well as farm management, which is in line with the work being undertaken by Miss Olson. “We take into consideration the needs of each family, according to thelr age and state of health,” said Miss Olson, “then a home manage- ment plan is worked out with the wife of the client.” B Needs for a year are anticipated and the contribution of the house- wife to the farm income is estimated on the basis of past experience plus any increase in investment—such as tion of marketable vegetables. “North Dakota farm women are in- THE DOCTORS ARE RIGHT Women should take only liquid laxatives — Many believe any laxative they might take only makes constipation worse.
