at the 1927 fair, which opens Oct. 8.
Many patrons can remember when
U*a only exhibits interesting to the
housewives were those in the domes-
tic arts and textile -departments.
Hardly anything was shown in the
way of labor or time saving machin-
ery for the household, beyond sewing
machines and some crude, back-break-
ing washing machine, hand operated.
This year, in the Exposition Hall,
however, there will be shown literally
hundreds of new household appliances
each designed to lighten the burden
of housekeeping, to save time, money
and energy, just as the farm machin-
ery saves the time# money and energy
of the men.
A trip through Exposition Hall, with
its many free shows and entertain-
ments, its free samples and souven-
irs and its great display of modern
household appliances is well worth
any woman’s time, even if she does
not get into another building on the
grounds.

NEWS REVIEW OF

Scores Killed and Hundreds
Injured by a Tornado
at St. Louis, Mo.
The doLlar sign is believed
to be a modified figure 8, denoting
a “pieee of eight."
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
r> ETWEEN seventy and one hundred
D persons were killed and about six
hundred injured by a terrific tornado
that swept through St. Louis, Mo.,
Thursday. An area of six square
miles in the city was ravaged by the
wind and heavy rain, and the property
damage may exceed $75,000,000. More
than 5,000 homes were destroyed, as
well as numerous lousiness buildings.
The storm’s path was northeast, across
the Mississippi river, and in the Illi-
nois towns of Granite City, Venice
and Madison several persons were
killed and much damage done.
Governor Baker of Missouri ordered
out the National Guard to patrol the
storm area in St. Louis, and the local
Red Cross as veil as hundreds of
members of the American Legion
turned out ,for relief work. Mayor
Victor Miller issued an appeal for
cash contributions to aid the thou-
sands who had beefl rendered homeless,
and a citizens’ committee was organ-
ized to co-operate with the Red Cross
in raising funds.
n'INANCIERS and many other per-
r sons are still immensely interested
in the recent action of the federal re-
serve board reducing its rediscount
rate, and it seems certain that the af-
fair will be the subject of a congres-
sional investigation. Members of the
board, it is said, expect such an in-
quiry and are prepared to defend
their course. It is charged that the
rate was reduced at the behest of the
governors of the British, French and
German central banks, and at least
one Federal Reserve bank governor,
George W. Norris of Philadelphia,
frankly admits that the action was
taken for the purpose of aiding Euro-
pean finances, and thus benefiting the
United States. He explains this as
follows:
“Great Britain has just recently
gone back to the gold standard, Ger-
many, Austria and Hungary are sta-
bilized. Poland is about to be stabil-
ized, while France and Italy -are not.
The United States, with half the gold
in the world, is vitally interested in
the preservation of the gold standard
among nations.
“The situation in Europe is such
that several of the.great banks in Eng-
land and on the continent saw that
they would have to raise their dis-
count rates unless the rates over here
were lowered. If they had beeu com-
pelled to advance their rates, it would
have thrown a -chill on business
throughout the continent and in Eng-
land. This in turn, would seriously
affect our export business with those
nations Just at the time when volume
shipments of cotton, wheat and other
commodities are beginning.”
It is said the visit in the summer
of Sir Montagu Norman, governor of
the Bank of England, who was accom-
panied by Schacht and Rlst of the
German and French banks, respective-
ly, was for the express purpose of in-
ducing the federal reserve board to
reduce the rediscount rate and thus
bring about the flow of money to Eu-
rope, where higher rates were main-
tained. Norman succeeded in this and
the immediate result was what he
aimed at. With the American rate 1
per cent below that of London funds
began to flow back to the BritisH mar-
ket and sterling exchange began to
advance, being now at par, an unpre-
cedented situation at a time of year
when there is heavy British buying of
American cotton, grain and other
products.
DEAR ADMIRAL THOMAS P. MA-
Iv CRUDER, commandant of the
Philadelphia navy yard, stirred up a
lot of discussion by a magazine arti-
cle in which he severely criticized the
navy as “overorgaalzed and run on
wasteful lines.” Though the admiral
might have been disciplined for pub-
lishing the article without first sub-
mitting it to the Navy department.
Secretary Wilbur lias taken what
most of us will regard as the wiser
course and has called on Magruder to
“submit to the Navy department
promptly a full and detailed state-
ment embodyihg his plan for reor-
ganizing the navy and the Navy de-
partment upon more economical lines.”
“Of course, I have no such plan
now,” said the admiral, “and I have
so informed the department. To make
such a plan would require the expert
assistance of a number of officers and
the necessary clerical help over a long
period.”
Admiral Magruder charged that the
navy supported too many admirals
and too few enlisted men, was tied up
with red tape, was overorganized
ashore and afloat, that uneconomical
methods begun in war time were con-
tinued and that the navy had failed
completely to demobilize following the
World war. He asserted that many of
the navy yards would be discontinued
were It not for political influences.
D EARING on the navy situation
D comes a statement from the White
House that President Coolidge wants
first-class army and navy establish-
ments maintained in this country and
has no intention of asking any reduc-
tion in the amount of funds now ex-
pended annually for national defense.
The President Is convinced that the
country is well able to meet the taxes
imposed by present expenditures of
$700,000,000 annually, for the army
and navy, and his main desire is to
insure that the best possible military
and naval establishments are ob-
tained with the funds voted by con-
gress. ^ >
A MERICAN Legionnaires, who are
aa traveling about Europe after the
close of their convention, are being re-
ceived everywhere with great enthu-
siasm. So far the only unpleasant-
ness was the attempt to bomb the
train on which Commander Savage
and his party were going to Italy.
This was laid to the Communists and
fortunately was frustrated by the fact
that the train was running behind
time. King Victor Emmanuel received
the party in the royal palace at Pisa
in most democratic fashion, and In
Rome the Legionnaires were greeted
by the city officials and immense
throngs of cheering' citizens. They
marched to the grave of the Unknown
Soldier and laid a wreath upon it,
then changed to evening dress and
were received in audience by the pope.
Meanwhile another group of the
Legionnaires was having a fine time in
London and elaborate plans were
made by the English for festivities
and a reception by King Qeorge this
week, when the party with Mr. Sav
age were due there.

p BEAT BRITAIN won the Schneld-
vJ er trophy in the seaplane race at
Venice when Flight Lieut. S. N. Web-
ster in a Napier supermarine plane
whirled over the course of 3114 miles
at an average speed of 281.488 miles
an hour or about 4.7 miles a minute.
This broke ail existing speed records,
and on the straightaways Webster
flew at a rate of five miles a minute.
His average time for the closed course
was five miles an hour faster than the
average of Maj. Mario de Bernardi in
a land plane over the open course two
years ago, when the Italian estab-
lished a world’s speed record.
Motor trouble forced all the Italian
entries to quit before completing the
course. The United States did not
participate in the race this year be-
cause its only entrant, Lieut, Alford
J. Williams, crack navy flyer, did not
have time to complete preparatory
,tests in his specially constructed sea-
plane.
