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. Tom registered
excitement, careened around the snip,
and immediately she tied up hopped
ashore and disappeared over the hori
zon. ' "Believe It or not," adds the
sailor who vouches for this story.
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

Already, however, the majority of

which will go Into force, for the cot

Johnson sold today It looked as

Meanwhile, a special section of the

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

PRICES HAVE 35
POINTS TO CLIMB
TO REACH '26 PAR
By J. It. 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

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.

more Goodyear Tires if Goodyears did not
