Bill Barton, who prefers the ta-! bacco twist, expectorated mightily | but lacked accuracy beyond 12 feet | 8 inches. The wind was too much for Ja.ke Kiblinger, another veteran, whose | best efforts were far short of the| leaders. He claimed third place with a measured range of 8 feet 9 inches. Prim maids and housewives dis—l creetly retired to the fancy work! departments of the Fishersville| Community Fair, while the contest- ants warmed up for their battle | for one of the most cherished titles lin the district. | | A crowd of admiring men and‘ boys—backs to the wind—looked on, | {but the champion received little| jacclaim from the housewives. They |said the contestants were less ac- |curate at home. i I e R | {Church Is {Found to Have 1 {No Foundation LONDON, October 9.—Craftsmen of nine centuries ago have left a| |puzzle for modern architects here,| with the revelation that the mas-| sive Norman structure of St. Al- |bans Cathedral, in Hertfordshire,| has no foundation at all. Nothing but wet clay and chalk support the lofty arches and huge buttresses of the north transept, it was disclosed when trenches were dug at the base of the walls in an attempt to find the source of water flowing into the church. The walls have stood since the {twelfth century, with no signs of | cracking. \Electric Bulb Used 16 Years DECATUR, Ala., October 9. — An electric light bulb has been in con- tinuous use 16 years in the home of Mrs. W.

Commission {Further Legnslahon at Next| Congress Now Seems Certain WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. — Each| year for four years the Securines\ and Exchange Commission has re- ceived from Congress new super- | visory authority over the securities | business—and next session seems| certain to find it back for more.| In 1933 was enacted the measure| requiring Federal registration of all securities to the issued, with a state- | ment of the nature of the security | and the use to which proceeds will | be used. This intended to give| the investor a picture of what he is buying. Control over trading on stock ex- changes came in 1934. The utility holding company act, iving wi(le‘ authority to the commission in deal- ing with utility organization, was enacted in 1935. The past Congress extended the Commission’s control over trading in unlisted securties. THREE SUBJECTS UNAFFECTED Largely unaffected by any of this legislation are bondholders protec- tive committees and investment trusts. Supreme Court action last spring also invalidated that part of the National Bankruptcy Act per- mitting municipalities to use the law in composing their own debts. These | three subjects are the present con-| cern of the Commission. Best bet is that the type of legis- lation to be sought to cover all three cases is that contained in the 1933 Securities Act requiring disclosure of afl purposes, personnel and back- ground of persons or corporations involved in any bondholders projec- tive committee, investment trust or| municipal bankruptey program. | NEW “NO-MAN’S LAND” ‘The Supreme Court decision, Wil- liam O.

In fact they get so rought at times that their play takes a toll of life and many cracked skulls. Recently, two Bentoc tribes de- cided to adjourn to a dry river bed and indulge in a friendly game—the throwing of good sized rocks at each other. While the game was at its height members of both tribes be- came unruly. Before the constabu- trol of the situation two of the tribesmen were dead and a number injured. Cotton Proves to Be Life-Saver for Brazil SAO PAULO, Brazil, Oct. 9.

The survey emphasized cotton’s role in saving the export trade from col- lapse. Lagnun ‘Low-Way’ May Facilitate Chicago Traffic CHICAGO, Oct. 9. — A highway “low-way” is offered as a solution to Chicago’s traffic problem. It entails the draining of a Lin- coln Park lagoon and the building of a high speed roadway on its soggy bed. Engineers say it is the most practical suggestion yet made to unsnarl traffic. The lagoon, which resembles & icanal, parallels the outer drive ialong the lake shore, north of the ,|loop business area, for two miles. Drives Congested The outer drive is scarcely able to take care of rush hour traffic now and with completion of a new bridge across the head of the Chi- cago River, traffic from several sources will converge in the park. The only other roads through the park that might be utilized are what Otto K. Jelinek, Traffic En- gineer for the Chicago Park Dis- trict, calls “horse and buggy” drives of the twisting variety, beautiful but not practical. Jelinek and other engineers figure the proposed submerged highway could be made into a thing of beau- ty—for $4,500,000. They would erect arched over-passes of the Venetian type for pedestrians, and would landscape the sloping sides. Beauty in the Highway They argue that the lagoon isn't used much any more anyway, and that it would be just as beautiful as a sunken highway as a stagnant pool. Jelinek would make the lagoon a three-way drive — two one-way sections for high speed traffic, and a third for motorists in no hurry. The present outer drive would be maintained for sightseers. Jelinék doesn’t know where funds to finance the improvement may be obtained. “I'm just an engineer,” he explains. - .- Residents and non-residents paid $146.275 to hunt, fish and trap in South Dakota during the 1936 fis- ———e— Empire classifieds pay. cal year compared with $109,925 in 1935. Another Headache fbr the Harrled Traffic Cop MUTHERS GET smms snurte[ SUDDER JOLT [\e'vlp I Is xl*no~t Time s uil i ending a Parent Education In- <'itute here agreed that S tinre they *“climbed down off the " in dealing with their chil- ter hearing the story of a r-old girl whogwas the un- g recipient of a boy's Kiss. The -question of parent-child cc.. fidences came up after Miss Flora Lee Sherman, Parent-Education di- rector for the Albany Public Schools, told the story. The girl blushed painfully, Miss Sherman said, and then asked for advice on what she should do when she was kissed unwillingly. She added that she couldn’t ask her mother because her mother didn't know that boys kissed her at all. Describing the incident as a “tragedy,” Miss Sherman put the solution up to the mothers. One offered the information that she had been partly successful in winning her boys' confidence by | telling them “slightly naughty” stories. This, she said, paved the way for them to confess their own indiscretions. While it might not work in all cases, Miss Sherman said, the sys- tem had the merit of “removing the pedestal upon which parents are apt to climb.” RRENSPOES Lo ponaili Virginia officials say industrial employment in that state in August gained 20 per cent over the 1935 period. about 1, Is 8 urt Ruling A rule to shorts worn Park High shorts shorter ol made the sto; Principal M. R. Me- Daniel explained, there was no limit on the length of the shorts the girls wore on the school athletic field. The legs were tucked in at the ends with elastic bands. The girls complained the bands slipped down too far. One man complained some girls pushed the bands up too far. This year, Principal McDaniel decreed all shorts must be no shorter than within two inches of the knee cap. The girls protested make the shorts longer. McDaniel demurred. “The Lruth of the matter,” he declared, “is that this year’s shorts are really shorter.” Then some of the girls complain- ed because they were measured for their shorts with a ruler. The principal made short shrift of this. All he wanted he said, was the tape measure's assurance of shorts neither longer nor shorter than the shorts the rule shortened. this would Senator Robert M.
