Watch Tomorrow's Observer for the Sensational Blindfold Drive by Miss Ruth Hill on the Down town Streets of La Grande Saturday Afternoon! And Featuring On the Screen GIRL HOUDINI HAS BIG PART IN VAUDEVILLE Miss Ruth Hill, Hollywood stunt girl who Is featured on the vaudeville bill at the Liberty theatre Friday and Saturday, Is being proclaimed by the MIhs Hull) Hill American public as the girl Houtfini, because of her uncanny ability to escape from all kinds of restraint apparatus, such as straight Jackets. regulation handcuffs, leg Irons, etc. She can take off police handcuffs faster than the officers can place them upon her, It Is said, and even while the keyholes are sealed up so as to prove that a key Is not inserted. Miss Hill Is a very talented little Miss, Just eighteen years old and has dou bled for numerous motion picture stars who were rather reluctant about risking their necks while called upon to do a very dangerous stunt. Miss Hill has only one other ambition, she says, and that is to go with Prof. Plccard, up Into the air about ten miles In his new stratosphere balloon. OMAHA NIIKKP OMAHA, Aug. 24 (U. S. D. A.)

R. A. NOT ONLY THING RECEIVING ATTENTION OF U.S5 Ily Byron Price (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) With the war-cry of the blue eagle resounding so loudly, It would be cany to got the Impression that little but the NRA Is stirring in Washing ton. That Is far from tne case. While General Johnson has been wrestling with codes and rumors of codes, problems of many different sorts have wrinkled the brows of officials in other quarters. A Itellcate Problem The attention attracted by the ex plosion In Cuba was small compared to the anxiety it caused the Wash ington government. Mr. Roosevelt had not forgotten that when he ran for vice president In 1020. a political storm of great proportions arose over the part he had taken, as assistant secretary of the navy, In composing matters in Haiti through the use of United States .marines. In his peace note of May 15 he had taken the bold step of declaring against sending armed forces across any international boundary. He had said some sharp things about Japan's course in Manchuria. Yet In Cuba he had run plumb Into a situation which by all the precedents called for the marines. What to do caused more worry than appeared on the surface. Russian Recognition Simultaneously, private pressure for Russian recognition increased.

You saw her in "Weary River" "Horse Feathers" and "Whoopio" Evening! Shows changed was shown by an almost unnoticed statement by Farm Adviser Brookhart that Russian credit Is "the best In the worldi" Only a few month ago. the com merce department was saying regu larly to exporters: '"Trade with Russia It you want to, but above all watch your credit." Recognition Is accepted generally as only a question ot time pro vided the soviet diplomatists do not make one of those untimely blun ders which have cost them so much in the past. Itookkeepers Disagree In the domestic field, much dis cussion has arisen over the dally treasury statement, which continues to show a mounting deficit. Some officials think the amount spent on the emergency program should be left out of this announcement, and others protest that It shouldn't. Mr. Roosevelt himself must decide The Insurgent Republicans and others who rebelled against the president's veterans cuts will be pleased to learn that the new regu lations now In the confidential stage of drafting, will direct reviewing boards to resolve every doubt In fa vor of the veteran. Among the things unmentloned by officials when they postponed most of the government reorganization program were the protests from pri vate employers who complained the government was throwing people out of Jobs at the wrong time.
