He was graduated from Eoston Latin Fchoc.l in 1596. from Dartmouth College in 1953 ar.d from the Tusk School of Administration and Finance in 1901, In the first class graduated by this school.

For the rast 23 jears Mr Blair had been connected with the Vin3low Frothers and Smith Company of Norwood. He was a member of Orient Lodge Mascns of Norwood, being its secretary for many years: of the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and of the Casque and Gauntlet Senior Society of Dartmouth College. He was also a trustee of the Morrill Memorial Library. Norwood. He i survived by his wife, who was Miss Helen M.

It is always a problem to find rug sizes in correct proportions to cover these floors. Now you may choose from this marvelous variety at prices incredibly low considering the superb As many' people did not care to brave last weeks storm we are maintaining sale prices for a limited time, Note these typical drastic cuts and the sizes The combined cost of living hidex for September in Massachusetts was 125.2, a decrease of more than 2 percent from that of August and the lowest since the war, the State Division on the Necessaries of Life announced yesterday afternoon. Decreases In food, clothing and shelter costs were partially offset bj an increase In fuel and light, says the division. The statement says, "Increased prices of meats were offset by lower prices of fish, flour, potatoes, onions and canned goods; causing a slight decrease in the food decrease in the clothing section of 1 1-3 percent was noted, due to lower prices of suits, men's and womens shoes and cotton goods. Increases occurred in prices of hats, gloves, shirts and mens underwear, "Due to the seasonal increase In the price of coal, the fuel and light index was about 2lA percent higher than for August.

"The division has just completed a survey 'to determine the present cost of shelter in comparison with 1913 prices and finds that during the past year up to and Including the renewed leases of September there has been involuntary reductions- of rentals ranging from 5 to 30 percent. Isolated Instances have been brought to the attention of the division where apartment qWners have volun tarily informed their tenants that a 10 percent reduction would be allowed in the event that their leases were renewed, but. In most instances, due to a tenants market, rentals of -two-, three, four and six-family houses have been reduced from to $10 a month rather 'than run the risk of vacancies with the resultant loss of income. "Most drastic reductions took place in high rental heated apartments, where former rentals of $100 to $125 per month have been reduced to' $75 and $85 per month. There Is no economic justification for these reductions, as in most cases the owners overhead has been increased by increased taxes, while the mortgage Interest has remained the same.

There are an abundance of vacant apartments of all types at these reduced prices, but we find that due to unemployment many families are of necessity doubling up. "The combined reduction of all types of shelter from August, 1931, to October, 1932, is 12V4 percent. "The purchasing power of the doHar In September as compared with 1913 was about 79 9-10 cents."

GRANT Free Delivery in New England WAR DEBTS BEFORE Parliament today PARIS, Oct 24 (A. Among tho important domestic and foreign problems which Parliament will consider In the session which begins tomorrow, 'few have received more attention, at least in the newspapers, than the issue of the debt to the United States. In tomorrows session one faction will seek to haVe the Chamber of Deputies come out flatly against the payment of any more than France gets from Germany. Another faction will seek to postpone consideration of the debt problem until after the American Presidential election. Louis Marin, leader of the extreme "right" Nationalists, is to Introduce a resolution declaring that France shall not impose upon her tax-payers the burdens af the London and Washington debt agreements if Germany is freed from reparations, and that in any case France will not pay more than she receives.

His resolution declares that President Hooverp by his moratorium, linked the German reparations payments and the debts of the former Allies to America. A movement to defer the debts discussion developed tonight, but It remains to be seen how far its sponsors can carry it in the Chamber. Th Government meanwhile is silent, but it is expected that premier Herriot, in answering numerous interpellations regarding foreign affairs, will outline his policies on the debts. 6bMBA(2D, S6UA4fct- GRANT COMPANY DINNER ager; C.

At the meeting held Earlier In the day Mr Grant aald: "My company la going to be a better company after this depression, and today my stores are making more money than ever before." BROUGHERS DEBATE PROHIBITION ISSUE Pastor and Son Applauded in Tremont Temple While crowded Tremont Temple rang with applause for the merits of the dry argument on prohibition as presented by Rev Dr J.

Whitcomb Brougher and for the merits of the wet side as presented by his son. Rev Dr Russell Morse Brougher, the two preachers last night went over the question fn a manner that left no doubt In tbe minds of all who attended that liquof Is the most wicked Item in the world. In fact, the 2200 'or so attendants i werb treated to an informal, unarranged object lesson as they left the Temple. For just as the crowd started to emerge from the Temple doors a patrolman walked along Tremont st in the direction of a signal box opposite Bosworth st, taking with him a stumbling, fumbling, objecting man who was clearly drunk. The meeting was very much tinged with Republicanism.

Lieut Gov William S. Youngman was an early visitor and was Introduced to the gathering. He bowed and left. Speaker Leverett Saltonstall, Republican, presided, and each time the elder Dr Brougher mentioned the name of President Herbert Hoover the applause was deafening. Dr Herbert Johnson (gave the invocation and then Dr Russell Brougher, son of the pastor and "opponent" of his father, rose and presented his 10 arguments against prohibition.

They were greeted with considerable applause. 10 Points Made by Son The younger Dr Brougher began the discussion by saying he had many Occasions for combating the "arguments of the wets, so I have made a mareful and accurate study of the wet side. Also, I have lived in wet New Jersey and in wetter New York for the past 10 years, so I think I know something about the propaganda and argumets of the wets. give 10 of their main arguments, i "First The 18th Amendment was Intended to prohibit the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquor; but It had not done so. The government has foend it impossible to enforce the law, Those who drink can get all the liquor they want.

"Second More young people are drinking today than ever before and they re not ashamed of it. 7 "Third-Speakeasies have replaced the ealoon and are to be found in towns where no saloons ever existed. They're not under any control. They are worse than an open saloon. They carry on their illegal business and sell a poisonous quality of liquor that makes them a menace to law, order and health.

"Fourth Prohibition has become a means of financing crime and causing lawlessness. Disespect for law has developed. "Fifth, Liqupr should be legalized and taxed to reduce the cost of government: If beer and wine were legal. Ixed and taxed, it would furnish relief from excessive taxation. Sixth.

If the manufacture and sale of liquor were permitted, it would put thousands of men to work and relieve the unemployment situation. In pre-prohibition day the allied liquor Interests employed 1,250,000 men. "Seventh. The manufacture and sale of liquor would give the farmer an opportunity to- dispose of his grain and help him solve his farm problem. "Eighth.

The greatest objection to the 18th Amendment is its Interference with the personal liberty of the American citizen. The majority of the people In this country feel that a minority, po right to curtail their freedom with respect to drinking liquor. Ninth. The wets do not want the saloon back, they want the liquor traffic and controlled by the Individual Sates, as in Canada. Under this system.

States that are dry could continue tc be dry and those that want to he wet could have their liquor. Finally, if liquor is legalized and controlled real temperance will be promoted, and once more people might enjoy their privileges of life, liberty and the, pursuit of happiness." Father Makes Reply Bev J. Whitcomb Brougher then arose smilingly to answer his son. He remarked that the younger man had gone over the wet side in such a hurry that, in handling the opposite side, "Ill talk slowly that the facts wi.t. have time to soak in." Hs answered the 10 points in order, and almost all during the.

time that he was responding, he was Interrupted every few minutes by bursts of prolonged applause. "I am opposed to the manufacture and sale of alcoholio liquors by whatever name they are called, because alcohol is a habit-forming poison. I am opposed to giving fellow' citizens a poison of any kind, because It Injures body, mind and soul. Drinking is a social evil. "According to statistics.

In round numbers 2,094,000,000 gallons were consumed In 1917, the last year before prohibition. The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment states gallons were consumed last year. Accepting the of the enemies cf prohibition, we have a billion gallons Jess being drunk today. "I deny the truth of the statement more young people are drinking today. The leaders of'the Christian Youth of America all agree that where one young church man carries a flask on his hip there are 999 who do not touch liquor.

"In the days when saloons were licensed there were just as many blind pigs and Illicit joints as there are speak-easies today. We have always had illicit selling of liquor even when the liquor traffic was legalized. "To license liquor traffic will not do away with the criminal use 'of the machine gun, the bomb and the torch, because -there has been an Increase in crime throughout the entire world since the war. The wet millionaires are the ones who would like to transfer their big Income and corporation taxes to the backs of the. people by taxing those who drink liquor Fines obtained from lawbreakers since prohibition have ex ceeded the cost of prohibition by 246 millions of dollars.

"Repeal would not Increase employ, ment. Employers of labor who handle great numbers of men and women well know that the drinking of booze put three men out of a Job to every one It gave work to. "Everyone knows, he replied to point seven as broached by hie son, that the National Grange represents 800,000 farmers, and that Is In favor of prohibition and absolutely opposed to the liquor traffic. And as for personal liberty being interfered with, anybody with two grains of sense knows thit there Is no such thing as personal liberty, to injure your neigh-bors. Your liberty ends where your neighbors welfare begins.

"The only way to deal with the liquor traflic Is to abolish it from the face of the earth. I favor a renewed and vigorous effort to enforce the 18th Amendment and not surrender to the lawless element to control the future of our nation. Miss Russell Heads Girls Club GREENFIELD, Oct 24 Miss Janet Russell of 59 High st was elected president of the Greenfield Girls Club today, succeeding Miss Mary N. Washburn, who died thla month. Mlsa Russell la the second president of the club since its organization 37 yeara ago and had been director since 1931.

GLOBE ADVERTISEMENTS PAY BEST TRY ONE AND SEE NEW YORK, Oct 24 (A. weight persons past middle age die of cancer more readily than those of nor. mal weight, according to life Insurance statistics. So the New York Academy of Medi cine was informed tonight at a cancer symposium by Dr Louis I. Dublin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany.

He said his figures covered studies of policy holders for 21 years. Moderately overweight persons, he explained, have a 9 percent higher cancer death rate than normals, "very fat" persons a still higher rate, and exceedingly obese persons" a death rate 29 percent higher than the average weights. Women fare better than men. Dr Dublin found that the cancer death rate of white women over 45 has remained stationary for the past 21 years, while that of white men of the eame age has increased about one-third. In his studies cancer deaths were 25 percent more prevalent among industrial wage-earners than men "in better economic circumstances." Encouraging results in cure of cancer by X-ray and radium were described by Dr George E.

Pfahler. nro-fessor of radiology. Graduate Medical School, University of Pennsylvania. Only certain types of cancer can be treated by radiation, but within those types he showed that radiation has cured 99 percent of some kinds of lip cancer and almost 100 percent of certain skin tumors. "Cancer of the skin, he added, "In Its early stages, while It still involves only the skin, can be cured in almost 100 percent of cases by a skillful combination of electro-coagulation and irradiation." Electro-coagulation Is a surgical operation with electrical apparatus used to coagulate the tissues without bleeding.
