third aid fourth grades, made a
booklet on the months of the year.
The second group, fifth and sixth
grades, prepared a booklet on Health
Rules as part of their class work in
pliysiology.
The third group, consisted of the
seventh and eighth grades. They pre
pared a booklet on Nebraska as part
of their class work in agriculture.
Iu our drawing classes, we made
cheer cards, which we sent to the
sick pupils who were absent from
school.
We used the Junior Red Cross
Magazine in our language classes.
The children enjoyed the interest
ing stories found in the magazine.
These booklets were very interest
ing and very neat. All three show
ed interest of the subject presented.
I am sure other schools in th

CANCELS POLAR RENDEZVOUS
Friedrichshafen, June 15. Aban
donment of the plan for a rendezvous
at the north pole between the Graf
Zeppelin and the submarine Nautilus
was announced Monday by Dr. Hugo
Kckener, commander of the Zeppelin.
An independent flight to the pole
by the Graf Zeppelin, he said, still
may be made.
"It is most regrettable, but
the rendezvous with Sir Hubert
Wilkins is off for this year,"
Dr. Eckener said.
"Even if the Nautilus is re
paired, Wilkins can not make
the pole in time. We are ready
to start, but it all depends on
whether an independent flight
is wanted."
Dr. Eckener said the Graf weath
ered a very violent thunderstorm
dining its flight Sunday without dis
comfort to its passengers, who con
ducted a musical program at the
height of the storm.

"Out of the Woods," Says State in
Need Last Winter Fifty
Ranks Reorganized
Little Rock. Ark.. June 15. Ar
kansas would like the world to know
that there is nothing the matter with
her now.
If some of the big cities up north
are still in a state of depression next
winter, Akansas probably will ship
up some train loads of food and chip
in liberally to the Red Cross.
"We are out of the woods," said
Governor Harvey Parnell, who was
forced last winter to call on the na
tion for beln.
"The most marvelous comeback
among all the states." says Dudb y
Haddock, secretary of the state Cham
ber of Commerce. "And they have
figures to prove it. No bread lines
in the state and a call just coming
in for six thousand laborers in the
peach orchards of the southwest.
Fifty banks reorganized, and the
bankers planning to get some of the
farmers' money next fall. A Class A
rating in the silk hosiery trade. A
rise from rags to riches. It is a sort
of Cinderella story of economic
terms."
"This is an agricultural state,
more than 85 per cent," said the
governor. "It was the drouth that
brought on cur trouble last year, as
a culmination of several bad years.
But now that is gone. The state is
like a garden. The prospect for good
crops is the best that it has been in
years." World -Herald.

SLAYER OF MATE IS HOME
New York With "practically no
plans a tall" for her future, Mrs.
Charlotte Nash Nixon-Nirdinger, for
mer St. Louis beauty contestant, who
siew her husband in France last
March, returned to America. She said
all she wanted was to forget the past
and be happy with her children. The
queen of the 1923 Atlantic City
beauty pageant, who fired four shots
into the body of Fred G. Nirdinger
of Philadelphia in their villa at Nice,
France, commented on the tragedy.
"I am very sad about the whole
thing. It was terrible."
A French Jury acquitted her in
nine minutes at her trial.
"I was afraid all the time that I
would not be vindicated," she re
marked. Mrs. Nixon-Nii dlinger will be
twenty-six next October. She was
asked if she considered another girl
not so good looking would have
fared so well at the hands of the
jury.
"Beauty." she declared, "has noth
ing to do with justice. I am some
times sorry when I think of all the
trouble it has brought me."
An appropriate greeting card to
Father makes a very much appreciat
ed remembrance for Father's day.

R. C. A. CASE PRESENTED
Washington The disruption of
American radio entertainment and
marine and international communi
cation was predicted before the radio
commission if the 1.409 licenses of
Radio Corporation of America sub
sidiaries are cancelled. This testi
mony was presented by company rep
resentatives as the commission 1)
gan hearings to determine whether a
recent court decision holds the R. C.
A. guilty of violating the anti-trust
statutes in the tube clause of its con
tracts made it mandatory upon the
commission to refuse to renew li
censes held by that company's sub
sidiaries. Attorneys for R. C. A. contended
the provisions of the radio act mak
ing such action mandatory was un
constitutional. They h Id. toe, that
judgment in the tube contract case,
returned by the United fates court of
appeals in Delaware, was not final.
Edward humaker. president of the
R. C. A. -Victor Company, Inc., said
revocation of his company's license
would put a stop to television exper
imentation which had been conduct
ed by the R. C. A., the General Elec
tric, the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company and the R.
C. A. -Victor company.

Group Hopes
to End Work
Eight Reports Remain. Commission
Cea:es to Exist July 1 In
terest in Reports.
Washington, June 14. A victory
for the Wickersham commission in
its race to complete in the 17 remain
ing days of its life the most extensiv.
single survey of crime ever under
taken was forecast today from witli-
i m its membership.
Although reports on eight major
investigations remained in the com
mission's hands today 24 months
and 17 days after the survey was be
gun -it was said authoritatively
that all would be delivered to Pre-i-der.t
Hoover or into the hands of the
government printer by July 1. On
that date the commission officially
ceases to exist.
It was predicted, too, that the
-ommission's purse would not be
turned back to the government
:npty. It would not be estimated
how much of the 500 thousand dollar
appropriation will remain, however.
Jam Was Expected.
The opinions gathered today repre
sent a considerable change from the
consensus as to conditions a month
ago. At that time with only the
prohibition report out of Its hands
it was the private view of more than
one member that then calendar
would be almost hopelessly Jammed
as July approached.
Even with this danger apparently
averted, however, it was pointed out
today, there remained small possi
bility that more than three of the
pending crime reports can be deliv
ered to the White house before the
commission as such is automatically
abolished.
It was explained that arrange
ments had been made whereby- ii
the remaining reports are deposited
at the government printing office by
July 1 they can be paid for out of
the commission appropriations. Un
der this plan the reports could b.
laid piece by piece before the presi
dent, even though the commission
had ceased to exist.
Interest in Reports.
Washington officials have been
awaiting with considerable interest
the contents of some of the remain
ing reports. One in particular will
discuss "governmental lawlessness."
investigations into which have been
in progress for months by the com
mission's private investigators.
Others of the eight reports will
deal with such subjects as "crime
among the foreign born," the can
and cost of crime, the work of police
and the conditions of the nation's
prisons. World-Herald.
