SKA CAT KNOWS HOME-TOWN MELBOURNE, Australia, When the American freighter "Golden Const" called In' at Melbourne months ago, a cat was given the crew as a mas cot. The freighter went home and called at various ports, but Tom re fused to go ashore. Weeks slipped by and the "Golden Coast" again sailed through the Heads and up Port PhiW lp bay to Melbourne.

LOUISIANA STATE'S WIN HAS COAST FANS WORRIED LOS ANGELES W Louisiana State's surprising victory over the University of Southern California track and field team In the National Intercollegiate meet at Chicago has caused the far west to prick up its ears. Pacific const institutions, which pride themselves on their athletic superiority over other sections of the country, ran Into trouble fro football teams from below the Ma son and Dixon line for several years until Southern California hit its stride in 1031 and 1932. Now a little band of five athletes from the bayous hns challenged the coast's best In such an emphatic fashion that far westerners are talk ing to themselves agnln.

Already, however, the majority of the textile Industries have volun tarily asked to put such limits Into effect simultaneously with the first code promulgated by the president, which will go Into force, for the cot ton trade next Monday. Johnson sold today It looked as though virtually all the spinning and weaving Industry of the country, cot ton, rayon, silk and' wool will be on the 40 hour basis next week. Meanwhile, a special section of the interior deportment was organized overnight to prosecute any companies moving Illegally produced oil In In terstate commerce. Tho administrator said the code submitted yesterday by coal operators from 14 states had not been assigned a hearing date because as yet It Is unsigned, but that it probably would be taken up after hearings on the oil agreement submitted by the Am erican Petroleum Institute, which will begin July 20. Questioned about the steel agree ment, promised for several days, Johnson said he had fresh, promises that It would be In totfay but 'was not definitely sure this would result.

Itrackett NEW YORK UP) Although com modity prices have made appreciable gains since the administration made known 'its plans for raising prices ap proximately to the 1926 level, the goal is still some distance away. If 1926 is taken as 100, government statistics show that prices have about 36 points to go to reach 1026. The present index of around 65 represents a gain of five points since February, tho low of the' depression. Farm Disparities Attacked Governmentalefforts to raise prices are directed along two fronts. With the ultimate object of raising all prices to 1026, which is held to rep resent a fair level, the government also seeks to raise farm prices more than non-farm prices so as to cor rect the disparities arising from the disproportionately large farm prlco drop of the last few years. If the two groups of prices are at approximately the same level, as they were before the war, iboth farinors and non-farmers have more equal ad vantages In trading. Agriculture Catching Up' . The index figures show that farm prices have gained about six times as much as non-farm and that farm and non-farm prices are now abou ,15 points apart, whereas they were I mnro linn OR rutin in nnnrr. in Prthni. more than 25 points apart In Fobru ary. Since farm prices must be ralbed more than other prices government plans have been more specifically aimed at them. Plans to ralso form . nrlces lncludo nrovlslons fnr rndiie.

Bohnenkamp Co. in the case of oil . w Not specifically concerned' with either class of prices are Inflationary powers which seek to make monoy and credit easier and more plentiful. These processes have already mark edly affected prices specifically, the abandonment of the gold stand ard, the .beginning of large bond pur chases In the open market by the federal reserve system and the lee actual, but equally effective, possibil ity of currency Inflation. Demand For Goods Growing Another factor In raising prices Is the general effect of business recov ery, which goes hand in hand with the Inflationary program. Business has improved considerably and with It the demand for goods. Growing do tnand means higher prices. A factor which has tended to kctp prices down has been large surpluses not only of farm but non-farm ma terials. Federal statistics show, that theso surpluses, while still extremely high, have been cut considerably in recent months. HUNGRY SHARK DEPRIVES ANGLER OF PIfIZE TARPON BOCA GRANDE, Fla.
