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.

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.

20,000 UNEMPLOYED LED BY REDS IN MONSTER RELIEF CUT PROTEST
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Singing Communist songs, shouting slogans and flaunting banners calling for gratuities to the jobless as well as various radical "demands," a determined horde of men, women and children stages a "hunger march" through Loop, tying up traffic for an hour and giving the city its first taste of organized and exploited discontent. Converging from three directions, despite a steady rain, the marchers push the police aside and carry their pleas to Mayor Cermak at City Hall, thereafter assembling in Grant Park for a mass meeting. Instigated as a demonstration against the impending reduction in municipal support of the needy, the movement falls into the hands of anti-government agitators and winds up with ominous threats and a call for recruits for the proposed hike of a new Idle Army to Washington in December.
ROYAL SWEETHEARTS WED AMID SCENES OF POMP AND SPLENDOR
COBURG, Germany -- With all the elaborate ceremonials that featured the old Hohenzollern regime, the first regal marriage held in the Vaterland since the beginning of the Republic, unites Prince Gustaf Adolf Oscar, eldest son of the Crown Prince of Sweden, and Princess Sibyll of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, daughter of Duke Karl Eduard and Princess Victoria Adelaide of Schleswig-Holstein-Glucksburg. Simple civil rites in the 300-year-old Hunting Room of her father's Castle are followed by impressive nuptials at St. Moritz Church before the most brilliant throng of royalty and nobility assembled this side of the Rhine since the World War.

56-MILE GALE RAZES RESORT DWELLINGS
BROAD CHANNEL, N. Y. -- The worst wind and rain storm in this section in more than 40 years demolishes bungalows, garages and other buildings, washing some of them into Jamaica Bay and leaving the popular summer colony a mass of wreckage. Described as a regular "Kansas twister," the cyclonic disturbance would have cost scores of lives but for the fact that many houses were closed for the season. Several families, their homes lifted from pilings and dumped into the water, are rescued as they float out with the tide.
BOY GENIUS PERFECTS AMAZING MINIATURES
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. -- Remarkable models of steam locomotives, on a scale of 1/48, but which are complete in every detail and can haul a 2000-pound load, the equal of 15 man-power, are made and sold by Kenneth Dewar, 20 years old. He draws the plans, makes his own patterns and castings and does the assembling and testing. He started at the age of 14, and has marketed 15 in the last three years, at about $1,200 each. Big business from a little hobby.
SEEK PROSPERITY WITH FIREWORKS
AMECAMECA, Mexico -- The surest way to frighten off the evils of depression and insure the return of happy days, according to local tradition, is to tie a lot of real firecrackers to a lot of artificial bulls and then dance for all you're worth. Inasmuch as today is San Lucas day and the bull is the saint's favorite animal they decided to combine the two and ask for Old Man Prosperity to come back in the ceremony known as "burning the bull." They might do it. THROWING the bull won't, that's a cinch.
RECLAIMS FORTUNE FROM OLD FLOORING
BOSTON, Mass. -- The very dirt under your feet is valuable when you walk around in a jewelry shop. So much gold dust and small bits of the precious metal fall and are trampled into the floor that it pays, every now and then, to tear up the boards and recover the wastage. Maurice G. Alperin, a sweep smelter, gets as high as $5,000 worth of bullion from a single store. The wood is burned in a special stove and the ashes and floor sweepings are reduced in a crucible. What's left is gold alloy or pure gold. At $20.60 a troy ounce, it's a business. It looks simple, too, to see Maurice do it.
WOOD-PAVED STREET RIPPED UP BY NEEDY AS FUEL FOR WINTER
CHICAGO, Ill. -- It's a great thing when poor people get a break. The municipal authorities, deciding to put modern paving on Blue Island Avenue, notify the unemployed and hard-pressed residents of the neighborhood that the old oil-soaked blocks with which the thoroughfare's been covered for years, are to be had for the taking. With picks, crowbars, chisels and other tools, men, women and children rush to gather burning material for the cold weather. Regardless of traffic, they dig, pry and gather in tons of first-rate fire-wood. The city gets the old road-way taken out gratis and those in need get a supply of "coal" for the coming months. An odd turn of affairs that helps everyone concerned.
ARMY AIRMEN ENGAGE IN THRILLING BOMBING COMBAT FOR CHARITY
LONG BEACH, Cal. -- Squadrons of bombers swooping down and raining explosives on defenseless "villages," swarms of pursuit planes darting in winged assault on the ships of the bombarding force, "dog-fights," airobatics, and other exciting activities of warfare in the skies are demonstrated, before a huge crowd at the municipal airport by pilots from March Field, for the benefit of the needy. Power dives at 250 miles an hour and similar feats are among the breath-takers performed by the nation's crack bird-men. A remarkable "show" of military flying progress.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame football machine, in "high" again, rides roughshod over Northwestern, its historic rival. Ramblers ring up a touchdown in the first minute of play by that infrequent marvel of the game -- a run-back to the goal from kick-off, with Melinkovich electrifying the 42,000 rooters by 98-yard dash.

PRINCETON, N. J. -- Ancient gridiron foes fight to a draw before 45,000 noisy rooters. For three periods, battle is on even terms, then Bob Lassiter of Yale uncorks a 37-yard heave that sends the Blue stands crazy and paves the way for a score. Princeton, halted time and time again almost at the goal line after terrific drives, takes the air in final minutes of play. Three thrilling throws -- the last a bullet pass from Kadlic to Ken Fairman -- do the trick and Old Nassau deadlocks the struggle.

FAMED ELEPHANT INN HAS GOLDEN JUBILEE
MARGATE CITY, N. J. -- Fifty years is not an advanced age for the average pachyderm, but for a tin one that has been buffeted by South Jersey shore front gales, it's quite a long time. Constructed in 1882 as a beach resort novelty, it still attracts tourists by land and by sea. "Jumbo" is 65 feet high, 38 feet long and 80 feet around the middle. It can be seen for eight miles. A six-room apartment is included in the mammoth body and the howdah is large enough for a dance floor.
DUPED HUNGER ARMY DISBANDS ON PLEDGE OF GOVERNMENT AID
LONDON, England -- Spurred on by Communist organizers, idle Britishers congregated here make one more attempt at mass demonstration, this time at the base of Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square. Despite the assembling of several thousand unemployed and fiery speeches by Red agitators, the "bobbies" keep the situation well in hand and quickly frustrate an attempt to move on Parliament. A few minor brushes between the blue-coats and the marchers result in a score of injured and a number of arrests, but the majority break ranks and leave for their homes, assured of help from the public purse at an early date, thereby ending Britain's worst labor threat in a decade.
