HOMES AND BUSINESS IN RUINS AS CYCLONE HITS HISTORIC TOWN
(104)
VERNON, Ind. -- Twisting its way out of the northwest while residents were seeking a noon-day respite from the sultry Summer weather, the relentless storm tore its way through the center of the town, leaving a good portion of the business section demolished and almost two score families homeless. Today, many of the homes in Vernon look like those doll houses you see with the fronts missing. Other dwellings are mere piles of kindling, with their former habitants rooting around in the ruins for their Sunday clothes. An unusual number of freak occurrences and narrow escapes marked this twister, the second to hit Vernon in a decade.
CITIZEN TROOPS DEFY GOVERNMENT EDICT IN ANTI-POLITICAL RALLY
(86)
KALKSBURG, Austria -- Aroused by the militant methods and military demonstrations of their political opponents, the National-Socialists, the Austrian Social Democratic Party has organized its own militia, known as the Republican Protection Guard. It decides to show its strength and, barred by law from parades or demonstrations in the city of Vienna, stages its mobilization in Kalksburg, a small town near the capital. A day and night of military maneuvres is followed by a parade and massed assembly in which twenty thousand stalwart young Austrians, well uniformed and equipped, take part, while thousands of sympathizers cheer. Politics is a serious business in Europe. Imagine the Republicans and Democrats each with a well-equipped army "for protection." There wouldn't be any voters left by November.

MOTOR BANK SOLVES MONEY PROBLEMS OF INLAND COMMUNITIES
(102)
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Ohio -- "The Greenbacks are coming!" is the cry that rings through four Ohio counties since the inauguration of the novel rolling bank which now is giving banking service in a number of towns and villages where the regular banks have gone under. Twice a week, the bank on wheels circulates to Springfield, cashing checks, taking deposits, and allowing withdrawals. The bank, an armored car, with cashier's cage, guards and other bank machinery, stops once in small villages and twice in larger towns. The countryside is enthusiastic over the new service. Farmers, their wives, small merchants, tradesmen and workmen with pay checks crowd around the pay-off truck at each stop. The bank has solid rubber tires to keep the checks from bouncing. "Any checks, any drafts, any dollars today!"
J. D. ROCKEFELLER, ON 93RD BIRTHDAY, SEES TRADE TIDE TURNING
(132)
POCANTICO HILLS, N. Y. -- When a man's age gets higher than his golf score, he is ripe with experience and his observations carry the weight of wisdom. The aged oil millionaire, now only seven years short of the century mark, looks back over the past and makes the sage statement that in his life he has seen many depressions come and go. Prosperity has always returned and will return again, he predicts. The acute mind that built the first great utility corporation and the first personal business fortune of modern-day magnitude, is still keen despite the physical infirmities that limit him to a few holes of golf and short walks among his flowers daily. Faith in God, in ourselves and in humanity will help us to go forward courageously in building a better world, is his encouraging birthday message.

PRES. RUBIO RESIGNS; RODRIGUEZ SELECTED AS REPUBLIC'S RULER
MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Impressive scenes mark the changing of the nation's Chief Executive. Surrounded by his loyal Cabinet and admirers, Pascual Ortiz Rubio relinquishes the reins of office at the Chapultapec Castle. The opening session of the 35th Congress then chooses the Minister of War, General Abelardo L. Rodriguez to succeed him, and, after the solemn oath of office, the new President appears in front of the building where he is hailed by the crowds and saluted by the cadets of the Mexican West Point, his official escort and guard of honor. A stirring event, and one of great importance in Latin-American history, in view of Senor Rodriguez' first state message, his assurance of continued close friendship between Mexico and the United States.
FANS HAIL BASEBALL STARS SELECTED FOR 1932 ALL-AMERICA NINE
First and exclusive pictures of Babe Ruth's annual choice of the elite of the national game, the prime honor that can befall a big league player. The highlight of the baseball season, particularly timely right now as fandom looks forward to the World's Series. Here is the "perfect" team for 1932:
Catcher -- "Bill" Dickey..(Yankees)
Pitcher -- "Lon" Warneke...(Cubs)
Pitcher -- "Lefty" Grove (Athletics)
Left F. -- "Lefty" O'Doul (Dodgers)
3rd Base -- "Pie" Traynor.(Pirates)
Shortstop -- "Joe" Cronin (Senators)

ENTIRE POPULACE OF ANCIENT CITY HONORS 12th CENTURY MARTYR
AQUILA, Italy -- With a pomp and pageantry that shames modern ceremonials, the coronation of Pope Celestino V, which transpired in 1294 A.D. at the Church of Collemaggio, is re-enacted in complete detail by local nobles and commoners. Magnificent medieval costumes, "Kings" and "Queens" with their retinues and the majesty of the "Papal delegation," make this scene a never-to-be-forgotten reminder of a colorful and glorious period of history.
SALOON ELIMINATED BY "TIP-LESS WAITER," INVENTOR PROPHESIES
WORCESTER, Mass. -- In preparation for the day when, and if, beer may be legalized, an astute hotel manager invents and demonstrates a novel serving device by which foaming glasses of beverage are lifted, by a concealed elevator, from cool cellars right up to the middle of the table in front of thirsty patrons. The new apparatus is supposed to do away with the brass rail and the importunities of the old-time bartender. But no provision is made for the patron who wants to discuss the weather, the latest political rumor and the "old lady's" latest eccentricities.
SHULTZ SMASHES ALL RECORDS TO CAPTURE HILL CLASSIC
PIKES PEAK, Col. -- At break-neck speed, up the twists and hair-pin turns of the famous mountain road, Glen Shultz of Colorado Springs forces his special hill-climbing car over the twelve-mile course in 16 minutes and 37 seconds to win the Penrose Trophy in the fourteenth annual running of this race. Thousands of spectators dot the mountain-side to witness the racers skid on the brink of eternity at the sharp bends in the route. Shultz is six times winner in this most spectacular American auto event.
ROYAL INFANT MAKES PICTURESQUE DEBUT IN BAPTISMAL RITES
M��DLING, Austria -- Ex-King Alphonso of Spain acts as god-father at the colorful christening of the Archduke Stephan, the new-born son of Archduke Anton of Hapsburg and Princess Ileana of Roumania, while 10,000 Austrians, loyal to the Hapsburg dynasty, cheer in the streets before the quaint old Church of St. Othmar. The Queen Mother Marie of Roumania, Archduchess Margaretta, the baby's aunt who acted as god-mother, ex-Queen Elizabeth of Greece, Archduke Theodore and Prince Edward of Parma also take part in the ceremony. An interesting and intimate view of the youngest Hapsburg and his royal relatives.
CHAMPION BUCKAROOS VIE FOR WORLD TITLE IN COWBOY THRILLER
LOS ANGELES, Cal. -- The vast stadium which lately rang with plaudits to the heroes of the Tenth Olympiad, now is filled to the echo with the "Yip-yip-yee-e-e" of the old West as America's expert cow-punchers exhibit their skill and ability in the Second Annual Congress of Rough Riders. The pick of the range and the round-up engage in astounding feats of broncho-busting, steer-wrestling and trick riding. A super-spectacle of equestrian prowess.

THOUSANDS ACCLAIM HOOVER; 2500 MARCH IN FARM RELIEF DEMAND
DES MOINES, Ia. -- The President, in his first public speech for re-election, cheers the horde of Republicans jammed in the Coliseum with a 12-point program for agricultural relief, on the heels of an anti-Hoover demonstration through the streets by Farmers Holiday picketeers and their sympathizers. More than 100,000 line the pavements to welcome the nation's Chief Executive on his arrival. The presidential party, in triumphant auto procession, is greeted by flag-waving and the din of partisan cheering. Anti-administration banners and slogans are flaunted through the same thoroughfares earlier in the day embittered produce raisers. A remarkable example of the strange contrasts in the present American scene.
AMAZING ENGINEERING FEAT RAISES GIGANTIC MUSSOLINI MONOLITH
ROME, Italy -- After three years of effort, Carrara marble quarry workers have carved out a monster block, almost three meters square and 18 meters long, which is erected with great difficulty in the new athletic stadium as a tribute to Il Duce. Sliding it from a spot 800 meters up in the Apuan Mountains, into a boat and by way of the Tiber to the capital, is only the beginning of the job. Specially constructed ramps and hydraulic jacks are necessary to elevate the huge obelisk to its final resting place. A remarkable example of human ingenuity, unparalleled in the history of physical science.
"SEA-TRAINS," BUILT BY FEDERAL LOAN, UNDER QUIZ BY GOVERNMENT
HOBOKEN, N. J. -- An innovation in Eastern seaboard maritime facilities, a ship that transports a fully loaded. 100-car freight train, is ready for operation between this port and Havana, Cuba. By means of specially constructed "elevator cranes" box cars are lifted from their tracks and let down into the hold of the craft, where they are run off the elevator onto special rails and clamped securely into place for the ocean voyage. At Havana, they are to be similarly lifted out and placed right on dock sidings, thus eliminating trucking, lighterage and other handling. Opposition lines are out to prevent the boats from making coast-wise stops and the Interstate Commerce Commission has ordered an investigation. It's the latest thing in salt-water transportation, destined, perhaps, to mark a new era in shipping. In case of war the odd vessels can be used for carrying railway artillery or airplanes.

ERIE GRAPE CROP SETS NEW RECORD
MIDDLE BASS, Ohio -- Delawares, Concords and Catawbas by the ton are filling the vats of Lake island and shore vineyard growers as a bumper yield raises vintner's hopes of the possible legalizing of light wines in the near future.
NATIVES HOLD RARE BATTLE-GOD RITES
KATSURA, Japan -- Enthusiastic natives bear an ornate palanquin in impressive ceremonies to thank their God of War for the success of the Nipponese armies in their Chinese engagements. A startling evidence of the martial spirit of the man-on-the-street in the Flowery Kingdom.
STATE WAGES STARFISH WAR
WAREHAM, Mass. -- A bounty of 35 cents a bushel on the marine pests which have almost put the scallop fishing industry out of business results in the elimination of 11,000 bushels, or about 5 million of the destructive sea-stars from local waters -- and queerly enough, the fishermen find there is more money in this work than in regular bi-valve digging.
NAVY BALLOON VICTOR OVER WORLD'S BEST IN INTERNATIONAL RACES
BASEL, Switzerland -- Sixteen gas-bags from eight different countries compete in the 20th James Gordon Bennett Cup contest, as thousands cheer the late afternoon take-off. Lieut. Commander T. G. W. Settle and Lieut. Wilfred Bushnell in the U.S. Navy entrant, last year's winner, rise into the blue to float 921 miles over several frontiers for a landing more than 36 hours later near the Polish-Latvian border, almost a hundred miles farther than their nearest competitor. Another American aeronaut, Goodyear No. 8, carrying the veteran balloonist W. T. Van Orman, and R. J. Blair, is second, covering 830 miles, and outdistancing contestants from France, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Thrilling scenes of the oldest and most picturesque aviation classic.
POLICE ARMY CALLED AS BARGAIN HUNTERS RIOT AT DOLLAR $ALE
BROOKLYN, N. Y. -- Thousands of girls and women, drawn by an unusually low cut-rate sale of coats and dresses, jam the main thoroughfare in front of a large department store, stopping traffic, crushing against the plate glass windows until they are shattered, and precipitating a mob rush that necessitates a hurry call for fifty mounted and dismounted patrolmen to quell the disorder. The flood of eager purchasers presses into the store in a column six wide, defying all attempts by the officers of the law to regulate their movements. An amazing scene of feminine determination and shopping frenzy, as the house-wives and others, some with babes in arms, battle the blue-coats in a rough and tumble struggle.
