CITY IS SAVES
THOUSANDS BY
EARLY BUYING
Stocking Up of Supplies Is
Heralded Now as Wise
Budget Step.
Albert H. Losche, referred to by
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan as "the
best purchasing agent the city ever
had." has saved considerable money
by advance purchases of major com
modities on which prices now are
rising.
At the beginning of the year when
all trade journals indicated prices
were going up. Losche began adver
tising for the yearly requirements
used in repair, maintenance and up
keep of the streets and alleys. Pur
chase of these supplies at that time
has resulted in thousands of dollars
being saved for the taxpayers, it is
declared.
Prices have jumped since Febru
ary when 200.000 gallons of oil was
purchased at 4 cents a gallon. If
bought today the oil would cost
$1,152 more. Asphalt has risen 8 per
cent due to federal tax. Cement has
taken three price jumps since Feb
ruary.
The city hospital, taxed to capa
city, and having a serious problem
in keeping within its budget, was
saved several thousands of dollars
in the purchase of 300.000 yards of
cotton gauze, a year's supply, effect
ing a saving of $2,000 at, prices now.
Rubber gloves used by the sur
geons have advanced $564, since the
city made purchases. Rubber tires
and tubes, used on ambulances have
advanced steadily in price, but suf
ficient quantities are on hand to
last the remainder of the year.
Contracts for bread and milk, also
were made in February. Bread is
up l cent a loaf and a 1 cent milk
price boost is near.

WALLACE GROWS TALL CORN'
V .
Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, right, and R. F. Baker
are shown inspecting a field of corn on Wallace's farm near Des
Moines. Farmers are happy when corn is knee-high this time, of year,
so Wallace's crop seems to have a good start.
Great Business Is Done
Here by ‘Gold Diggers’
Box Office Boom of Musical Movie Forecasts Return of
Interest and Patronage to the Talking Screen.
BY WALTER D. HICKMAN
J_J AVE contended for years all that is necessary to get people into the
theater is to give the mexactly what they want to see and hear.
But the big problem seems to be to find ( out just what the people
want. Lately we have made two important discoveries.
In the last few months, Mae West in "She Done Him Wrong.” just
another title for her "Diamond Lil,” has made every exhibitor showing
that, picture smile at the large number of people attracted to the theater.
And the exhibitor immediately said prayers for more such Mae West
pictures and wired Hollywood for more. The result was that Miss West
has been placed under a long term contract. Right now, the public as
well as managers have gone wild
over “Geld Diggers of 1933," with
Ginger Rogers, Guy Kibbeee, Ruby
j Keeler, Warren William, Dick
! Powell and Aline MacMahon. Ace
*|i
Berry, manager of
the Circle, tells me
that “Gold Dig
gers” in its first
week at the Circle,
has done the high
est box office fig
ures in months and
months. The .fact
is it has topped the
first week record
of “42nd Street,”
which was a beau
ty.
“Things have
been so satisfactory
with ‘Gold Diggers’
that we are now
Ginger Rogers
offering it for a
second week,” Mr. Berry states.
There are many reasons for the
great success of "Gold Diggers” in
Indianapolis. From a local stand
point, there is tremendous interest
m Dick Powell because this city
claims him.
Aside from that, this movie has
some of the best dance formations
ever photographed. It has an abun
dance of comedy, and above all it
has at least two fine tunes, the
Man .. number and “ M V Forgotten
G T, ost satisfactory week
with Hold Your Man,” the Palace
turns today to Robert Montgomery
and Sally Ellers in “Made on
Broadway.” •
The Apollo is presenting today
Constance Bennett and Joel Mc-
Crea in "Bed of Roses.”
o T he D! ic toda y features proudlv
Sylvia Sidney in Theodore Dreiser’s
Jennie Gerhardt.”

Was in Love With Her Husband” at
