Of Prenident Hoover.
St. Petersburg, Fla., Mar. 14. -?
Babe Ruth signed a contract here
today with the New York Yankees
for the season of 1932 at a salary of
$75,000. The signing followed a
brief conference at Ruth's hotel be
tween the home run slugger and Col
onel Jacob Ruppert, owner ot the
club.
Rnth's new salary is a compromise
between Colonel Ruppert's offer of
170,000 for one year and Ruth's de
mand for $80,000, the amount he
has received for each of the last two
years.
The cut of $5,000 represents a re
duction of only about six per cent.
It still keeps Ruth In the same
salary class as the President of the
United States, whogets exactly $76,
000 per year.
"Babe, I wish you success this
year and for many years to come,"
said Ruppert. "I hope and believe
that with you and the young talent
we have on the club, the Yanks will
win the pennant."
"Colonel, I'm very much satisfied
with tW? contract," replied the Babe.
"I have always given my best to the
Yanks and you know I will continue
to do so. We are a cinch to win the
pennant."
After the signing Ruth went to
Water Front Park to get into unlr
form for his first exhibition game
against the Braves.

Louisburg College
Students Enter
Style Show
Home Economic Girls Participate
Again This Year Under the Direc
tion of Miss Anne Dennison.
Miss Anne Dennison, teacher of
Home Economics at Louisburg Col
lege, states that Louisburg College
students will again enter the Style
Show at Raleigh this year. Quite
a number of awards were- won by
Louisburg students last year. The
following is a part of an article from
the News-Observer explaining this
show:
For several years the Cotton Tex
tile Institute. The Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics of the United !
States Department of Agriculture, |
and other organizations Interested
in the textile industry, hare spent :
considerable time and money in their I
efforts to develop new uses for cot- i
ton. As a result of these efforts we !
are today using longer sheets; grow- j
are are shipping fruit, potatoes and
unions In visible cotton bags devel
oped by the Bureau of Agricultttral
Economics in co-operation with the
Textile School at State College; gin
ners. In some instances, are using
cotton bagging Instead of lute, and
many firms have begun the use of
cotton stationery.
Many other new uses of cotton
might be enumerated. In this article, !
however, attention is directed to a I
few types of cotton fabrics which, i
judging by comments heard during j
a period of several years, would \
prove popular with women for spring j
and summer wear if they were placed '
on the market In attractive colors I
and prominently displayed by mer
chants.
For the past four years the Tex
tile School of North Carolina State
College has conducted style shows in \
co-operation with the Home Eco- !
nomics Departments of North Caro- I
lina colleges for women for the pur- !
pose of aiding In popularizing cotton !
fabrics. Starting in 1*28, with six
teen Meredith College girls partici- ;
patlng, this annual event hat grown
rapidly and large numbers of peo
ple now look forward to it.
Another Style Show. '
At the next style show, to be held
In Raleigh on. April IS, 78 young
ladles representing Catawba, Loots- ,
burg, Meredith, Peace and Queens- ,
Chlcora Colleges will participate.
Thus, during a fire-year period over ,
200 college girls will have demon- 1
strated the utility and beauty of cot- I
ton and rayon fabrics to several
thousand people who hare attended
the shows and to hundreds of oth
ers In a number of state*.
The Judges of the style shows pre
viously conducted hare been Home
Economics teachers, stylists and buy
ers for department stores and cloth
ing specialists. The cotton suitings
have been attractive not only to col
lege girls but also to these experi
enced Judges of style and beauty, as
proven by the fact that each year
young ladies who choooe cotton Imi
tations of woolen suitings from
which to make their garments have
won the majority of the prizes award
ed to the contestants.
It Is significant that for three years
put of four, the winner of the grand
prize has mede her costume from a
cotton suiting.
Ip view of the fact that cotton goods
D^<U>* type mentioned above have
proven attractive to college girls, ma
ture ladies, buyers and stylists, one

franklin County Commissioners
Allowed to Make (150,000
Bond Issue
Judge W. A. Devln yesterday dls
lolved a temporary restraining order
prohibiting the commissioners of
franklin County from issuing bonds
n the amount of {150,000 for the
'undtng of special notes.
Suit was recently brought against
he commissioners and Charles M.
rohnson, of the Local Government
Commission, by J. H. Fuller and the
franklin Tax Payers Association,
teeklng to prevent the bond issue.
The plaintiffs contended that the
proceeds of the notes, which were
executed under a previous set of
commissioners, were not used for the
specific purpose for which they were
made, and objections were raised to
the Issuance of bonds for their fund
ing.
The bond issue was approved last
year by the Local Government Com
mission and was protested by the
Tax Payers Association, of which W.
W. Neal is chairman.
The plaintiffs gave notice qf ap
peal to the Supreme Court.
The defendants claimed that an
audit of the county finances dis
closed that the funds had been ufed
properly and that the commissioners
bad a legal right to urder the bond
issue. ? News-Observer.
