PRE-PROHIBITION DEFENSE FOR POSSESSING ‘PRIVATE STOCK’BELIEVED BROKEN Federal Dry Officer Says New Indiana Bone-Dry Law Destroys Rich Man’s Hope of Immunity for a Full Cellar. SHERIFF AND POLICE MAKE FIRST ARRESTS ON STATUTE Firemen' Discover Complete Distilling Outfit on N. Meridian St. After Explosion in Barn—Sixty Gallons of Alcohol Found. K. C. Minton, attorney aud assistant prohibition director for Indiana, had a jolt for the millionaire with a “pre-prohibition” private stock today. For, under .Minton’s interpretation of the* new Indiana bone-dry law, the old defense of the rich man trapped with a lot of booze in his cellar is no more. Several wealthy citizens whose homes have been raided and large stocks of fancy liquor confiscated have evaded conviction by proving they bought the stuff before prohibition became effective. The bone-dry law eliminates this possibility of defense. Minton said. Mere possession of liquor, in no matter what small quantity, unless it is for sacramental purposes or Is pure grain alcohol and no matter when it was acquired, bought under physician's prescription, now is a violation of the law, “Too I/mg to Keep It” ‘The law does not contemplate that anyone has kept liquor since 1918,'' Minton said. There might he an exception in a medicinal preparation such as wine of iron or other alcoholic medicine, but the possessor would he under the burden of proving that it was used as a medicine and not for a beverage, Minton pointed out. Wine for sacramental purposes may be kept in churches, but it is not thought reasonable that an individual would keep it in his home, Minton said. According to the law, Minton said, it is unlawful for a druggist to sell wine except for sacramental pur poses. "There has been no change in the law in that respect.” Minton said. "Druggists in the past have not sold w-ine under the provision. Sacramental wine for churches us ually has been obtained through the church headquarters by officials of the church, and not by promiscuous individuals.” Must File Should the druggist want to begin handling wine, he is subject to nu merous regulations. lie must file an application with the clerk of the Circuit Court, provide bond of SI,OOO. keep a record of the name and address of each customer and pay a permit fee of $2.50 a year. His records must be available for Government inspection and in case of violation he is subject to the pen alty for sale and may have his drug gist's license revoked by the State board of pharmacy. "It. is unlawful for a druggist to sell any other intoxicating liquor except pure grain alcohol or ethyl al cohol, and this can be sold only for medicinal purposes.” Minton said. "Few doctors will recommend pure grain alcohol as a medicine,” said Minton. According to the law one quart of pure grain alcohol for medicinal pur poses may oe sold by a registered pharmacist meeting the same reg ulations as for handling wine, to a person having a prescription in writing from a reputable physician who believes the individual will use it. "for medical or surgical purposes or as an antiseptic.” First Arrest Sheriff Omer Hawkins made his first arrest under tlje new bone dry law late Wednesday when he slated Mies Ruth Clark. 26. of 3515 Drexel Ave. Hawkins said he would prosecute Miss Clark for al leged possession of intoxicating liquor. She was to be tried in city court today. Hawkins said he and three dep uties searched the Clark home Wednesday morning after obtaining a search w-arrant. He said they con fiscated fifty-six quarts of beer and thirty-six empty bottles. According to Capt. William Paul sel, head of the police booze squads, provisions of the new law will be invoked In prosecution of a liquor case against Miss Lucille Harris. 25, colored, of 1222 Muskingum St., ar rested Wednesday. Lieut. Halstead and squad raided the woman's home and obtained a small amount of liquor in a pocket flask, it is charged.

MYERS FLAYS ‘MUD SLINGING’ Brings 111-Repute to City, He Says. Mud-slinging of rival candidates for Republican nomination for mayor has brought ill repute to the city, nullifying constructive efforts of Chamber of Commerfce, Walter My ers, Democratic candidate for mayor, said in a talk at the Propylaeum Wednesday night. John W. Holtzman, former mayor; Bernard F.

Relief from present condition, he said, can only, be obtained by elec tion of a Democratic mayor.

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker; but he that honoreth him hath mercy on the poor.—Prov. 14 31. Few, save the poor, feel for the poor.— Landon, What Is the Word? SJOB for some cross-word puzzlist: Pro duce a word that means ship subsidy but doesn’t arouse the stubborn opposition of the American people. Certain private interests, who have a hungry eye on the people’s treas ury, ought to pay a good deal for the word. In Washington, so,dispatches to The Times reveal, they are beginning to talk ship subsidy again. They are talking all around the sub ject, trying to avoid that unfortunate word, which has been swatted by the American voter ever since the days of Mark Hanna’s notable, but unsuccessful, efforts to make him like it. It is quite clear that ship subsidy legislation will be attempted at the next session of Congress and very likely with the Administration’s ap proval. The American Steamship Owners’ Association is working on a plan 'and saj s it has President Coolidgc’s assurance that he will carefully consider any bill it prepares. Meantime Chairman O’Connor of the United States shipping board has got into an argument with Senator Calder of New York. O’Connor, who used to be a longshoreman, sometimes uses refreshingly frank language. Listen to a of it: “Senator Calder says he is in favor of getting our United States ships back to private owners at once. Private owners never had these ships. Ho w** are you going to get some thing back to a man that he never had before? There have been no private ocean-crossing ships in America, to speak of, since 1861 “At the present time, as I have said so many times before, most of the ships have got to be operated by the Government or they will not be operated at all. Our ships are for sale. We forget completely the original cost, and we are willing to sell for an extremely low figure to any one who can satisfy us of his American ism and his sea-going experience.” He might have added that in the case of the Pacific liners’ sale to the Dollar line the matter of Americanism was not scrutinized too closely. But that is beside the point. The point is that the private ship interests are working unremittingly to get the Govern ment out of the shipping business, but they aren’t willing to take the Government’s place unless a subsidy is given them. There is food for interesting speculation in the case of the United States postoffice. Our founding fathers mado the postoffice a Gov ernment enterprise. Suppose they had allowed it to start'as a private business. What sort of socialism would it now be called if the Gov ernment were forced, by the sheer necessity of maintaining communications, to take over the postoffice? The Government does not make money out of the postol service, but, our pres ent civilization would fall down if there were! no such service. The analogy is not strained. Chairman O’Connor is properly proud of the fact that the shipping board put into commission a large number of ships—at a loss—to carry American wheat and cotton abroad during the recent period of top prices. He estimates that this action meant ten billion dollars to the Ameri can growers. (Look at that figure again; it is ASK THE TIMES You can gret i.n answer to any ques tion of fact or Information by writing: to The Indianapolis Times Washington Bureau. 1333 New York Ave., Wash lnton, D.

Can wrinkles be removed from the face by simple homo treat ment? Premature wrinkles can be help fully treated by bathing the face twice a day in warm water in which a small quantity of Epsom Salts has been dissolved. Rinse with cold water. Ironing the face with a small piece of ice, after massage with a good cold cream, is helpful. For occasional temporary relief, bathe the prfrts where the wrinkles appear with a solution of alum and water in order to tighten the skin. Do not do this often. Are thfere any schools of etv ginering where ode can get prac tical experience while studying? There are universities that have what is called cooperative courses in engineering; that is, a student is given an opportunity to work for firms in the city, thus gaining ex perience while receiving technical education. In some cases the stu deqk works a week and attends jrchW a week* alternately. Among the shipping board’s own estimate.) Yet the whole thought of the board now Seems to be centered on ways of getting rid of those ships, turning the American growers and other ship pers over to the mercies of private owners— and, perhaps, paying these private owners a subsidy-besides. Hawaii a Menace mHE capture, of the Hawaiian Islands by the Blue, or attacking fleet, in the joint Army and Navy maneuvers now in full swing in the Pacific, came as no surprise to those fa miliar with the situation. For years both the Secretaries of War and Navy have been drumming into the ears of Congress that our mid-ocean naval base was too weak to withstand an attack by any con siderable naval force, and have just as con sistently, though vainly, begged for,the funds and authority to strengthen it. The Island of Oahu, or Pearl Harbor, in the Hawaiians, like Panama, is intended ex clusively for the use of the Navy. But both are defended by the Arruyj. Manifestly if our bat tle fleets are forced to hang around these bases to keep them from falling into the hands of the enemy, they will not be of much use else where. An enemy could play havoc with the United States proper if the Navy were pinned down by the necessity to defend the Hawaiians or Panama Cana 1 Thus the problem of the Pacific maneuvers this year was to see if the present Army, Navy and air forces regularly stationed in Hawaii could stave olf an attack, say by a fleet almost the size of the third largest. You already know the answer. They could not. The islands were captured. That means that instead of being a bulwark of defense ca pable of holding an enemy at bay some 2,000 miles off our west coast, they could be captured and used as a base of operations against us, cutting us off from the Philippines and making it possible to sweep the Pacific clean of our shipping. Hawaii lacks a sufficient number of big guns. It lacks airplanes. It lacks heavy, mo bile artillery. It is insufficiently manned and there is neither enough reserve ammunition nor fuel oil for naval purposes. If our Navy is up to the minute, and Panama and the Hawaiians are secure, we can well afford to maintain only a small starring army within the United States proper. Both material and personnel could be built up before an enemy could very well get to vs. But in the event of war the very first blows would likely be struck against Oahu and Panama, so there would be no time to send reinforcements or rush up guns and munitions. They would have to do the best they could with what they had. It ought to be clear as daylight, therefore, to everybody that whatever our policy may be at home, both the Hawaiians and Panama Canal should be on a war basis, ever and al ways. For upon whether they hold out or are captured depends the whole trend of any war we are ever likely to get into. Folks, Hawaii and Panama are the two most vital outposts of defense standing between you and danger. They are there to keep you and yours, your home and your job, safe. They are a vital part of our national .insurance. You ought to see to it, whets Congress meets again, that it understands the menace which the Pa cific maneuvers have just laid bare. these universities are the University of Akron, Akron, Ohio; University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio; Car negie Institute of Technology, Pitts burgh, Pa.; University of Detroit, Detroit, Mich., and Marquette Uni versity, Milwaukee, Wis. r iVr n What is the “Estate and Gift” tax? The Estate Tax, which is in lieu of the tax laid under Title IV of the Revenue Act of 1921, is imposed upon the transfer of the net es tate of every decedent dying after the passage of the law, whether a resident or non-resident of the United States. The tax is also imposed upon gifts during life, on or after Jan. 1, 1924, at the same rates. What are the chief unexplored parts of South America? They are in the central and south ern part of Brazil, the far reaches of the Amazon, northwest Brazil, and the Selvas region, Venezuela, and the source of the .Orinoco, north east Bolivia, Elbeni, 1 Chaco, and in southern Argentina, Clubut-and San ta Cruz regions, Patagonia and the Caupea region of Colombia. There are routes and trails across some of these areas, but the woi;k of ex ploration has only begun. How many home owners are there in the United States? According to the census of 1920, there were 10,866,906. How can scratches be removed from glass? Slight scratches may be partially polished out by rubbing the part with rouge wet with water, upon a piece of soft leather. If it is a deep scratch, it will have to be ground out with the finest emery, such as is used by opticians, and the spot pol ished with rouge and water. Then polish with a felt buff and rouge water. p Tom Sims Says Cut glass makes a fine wedding present, but a poor er. g&gement ring A No man is Sims worthless, but some are worth less than others.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON NEW LAWS IN EFFECT IOVERNOR JACKSON Is sued his proclamation late I Tuesday putting Into ef fect the measures passed by the last Legislature. Only once have tho acts been promulgated at an earUer date. Os course the dispatch with [which Stato of- Ificlals have han dled this matter Is I :ommendable. But [innocent hystnnd |ers might say [there was no need |Tor breathless haste —lndiana wasn't suffering from lack of laws. Even without the 1218 acts of the 1925 Legislature there were enough laws to go around. Nelson t Every Hoosier could easily find one to break, if he felt in the mood. And, though the new statutes have now been in operation al most forty-eight hours, there is no greater security to life and prop erty than heretofore, nor appar ent improvement in public and pri vate morals. Possibly the latter will take place 'as soon as the “bone-dry” law begins to growl and show Its teeth. That law expunges alcohol and all beverages of which it is a constituent from the Hoosier dic tionary. That is, theoretically. Whether it will produce actual aridity in the State as well as the statute book, will depend on law enforcement agencies and public conscience. Public conscience Is the deter mining factor in the success or failure of laws. It is not the publication of the laws that mat ters. It is the individual citizen’s attitude toward the laws. LOSS OF MEMORY EATROLMAN BARGE was approached yesterday morning at the corner .of Illinois and Georgia Sts. by a well dressed young man who asked: "Who am I? Where am 1? Where am I going?” The man was an amnesia vic tim. *He had awakened at the Union Station early in the morn ing, he said. Back of that —how he got there and identity—all tvas blank. Memory is the most important faculty of mind, upon w'hieh de pends identity, ego, personality. Without it a person would be like a lump of protoplasm—living mat ter not a sentient being. But it Is a most treacherous, un ruly faculty. A strain, a shock, or a grand jury subpoena is liable to make it fade away temporarily. It is industrious only in spots. Useless odds and ends of informa tion are filed away and treasured by it, but many matters of im portance are ignored. And facts stored are frequently mislaid so that they can not be found when wanted. A man may easily re member last year's batting aver ages but forget his wife's birth day. Memory is troublesome. But whatever its faults living without it is more difficult than living with it. It is the faculty that ties persons to time, space, and the scheme cf things. Except for his memory an individual is nobody, going from nowhere to novchere— just a flash in the dark. CITY BUS FRANCHISE SHE Peoples Motor Coach Company, operating busses In Indianapolis, was granted a twelve-year franchise on fifty-nine streets recently by the board of Works. The follow- I Wonder Why By Hal Cochran A case comes to mind, and it leads us to find just how qeer are the workings of fate. It’s just an affair that concerns curly hair, and the opposite—perfectly straight. A sister and brother both envy each other, and locks they are will ing to trade. For hers are quite straight, while her brother’s poor pate with the curliest tresses is sprayed. He’ll brush and he’ll comb, and he’ll work on his dome, while at tempting to take the curl out. But try aa he might, 'tis a boomerang fight, for a lot of new cur-lets will sprout. While she, with her lot, keeps the curling Iron hot. At the break of the dawn she’ll begin. And then, when she quits, she will nearly throw fits, for the curl simply will not stay in. The story is old and has often been told, so I needn’t go on with the rest of it. When fate has come through, with the wrong hair for you, what’s the best thing to do? Make the best of it! -4.-. I the committee has done a most daring thing in fixing a $1 price for this great concert which will be the climax of Music Week in this city. The only possible way that the fine arts committee of the Chamber of Commerce can break even is to sell every seat In the theater at $1 plus war tax. No profit is desired and none can be made at this scale of price. It has been the aim of the committee to bring* great artists here for music week at a price that will be within the reach of every man, woman and child. The seat sale opens Saturday morning at the Murat box office ing day board members declared they would rescind the action. They said they were hurried into the contract and were told it was the last day such agree ment could be consummated be fore the S.ate law putting busses under the public service commis sion became effective. They de clare they were misinformed. Act In haste and repent at leisure, seems to be the board’s motto in this connection. Probably it will make little dif ference to the city whether the franchise lives or dies. The fees paid into the city treasury under it would only amount to $3,000 a year—and motor transportation will continue regardless of its fate. If the agreement is revoked the bus line will simply come under the supervision of the State, in accordance with the provisions of the new law, instead of' regula tion by the city. So practically, the rapid changing of the board's mind only fans the air. The franchise may or may not be advantageous to the public. But to the average citizen it would seem the best time for the board to have determined that was before, not after, acting upon it. In his private business affairs a board member wouldn’t hastily sign contracts without deliberation and investigation. Why shouldn't he be equally prudent with public business? AVOIDANCE OF DEBT mAMES M. LYNCH, president of the International Typo graphical Union, announced yesterday union members will be urged to greater thrift. A living cost survey made by the union shows that the personal indebted ness of the average wage-earner has grown alarmingly. “It is possible these days to buy almost anything with a small down payment,” he said. “Our sta tistical department found the case of a man who engaged himself to meet monthly payments actually in excess of his salary.” Deferred payments are mighty useful creatures. By them, homes, bonds and indeperfdence can be ac quired. But there is a very ob vious tendency at present to abuse them rather than use them—they are run ragged. Whether it is the acquisition of a home or a twenty-seven volume history' of the world many can’t resist the seductive phrase “a dol lar down and a dollar a week.” And thrift files out the window. Os course, it is nice to have luxu ries like other folks. They impress the neighbors. A deferred-payment automobile looks like any other— the chattel mortgage doesn’t show on jthe outside. Hut running into debt for luxu ries is mortgaging the future. It is spending wealth before it is cre ated. One who follows that road is liable to come to the end with sore feet and a headache. THE PAROLE HABIT D ETECTIVES arrested an In dianopolis young man, age 22, in connection with the robbery of the South Kokomo bank a month ago. Bank employes identified him as one of the seven engaged in that robbery. This is not the young man’s first entanglement with criminal stat utes. He was sentenced to one to fourteen years in the State re formatory in 1922 for auto steal ing. As soon as possible he was paroled. In September, J 923, he was again arrested for automobile theft. Upon conviction he re ceived the same sentence as be fore—one to fourteen years in the reformatory. Once more he wa3 paroled after serving the minimum period. A few months later he Is gath ered In as a suspected bank rob ber. The indeterminate sentence law —with the large discretionary pa role power it confers—ls no doubt a humane statute. It was con ceived with the laudable purpose of graduating punishment to fit the crime and character of the ln /dividual miscreant. But in practice it does little but soften the punshment. A sentence of one to fourteen years usually means confinement for one year regardless of the prisoner’s previous record. The fourteen years is merely a formal flourish, like the phrase ‘‘yours respectfully” at the bottom of a letter. If along about the second con viction an offender was compelled tb serve the maximum term in stead of the minimum, indeter minate sentences would do society real service. Paroles would then mean something more than a habit.

A Proclamation In interest of Music Week which begins Sunday in the churches and continues all next week. Mayor Shank has issued the following pro clamation: "One year ago the citizens of In dianapolis united to observe their first annual Music Week. “It is with a feeling of pride that we look back upon the achievements of this first attempt, the inspiration of which is with us still. “I need not point out the power that music has upon our people for the making of better citizenship, for tho stimulation of patriotism, and the inspiration for better and more useful lives. All these things are matters of experience and history. “But with the lessons that we have learned fresh in our memories, it seems fitting that I should set a *ue a time for the observance of n.usic weeek, and exhort our people to participate in its activities and make it an occasion of interest, re joicing. and incalculable benefit to the entire community. "Therefore, I call upon the music lovers of Indianapolis and vicinity to unite in observing music week, beginning May 3 and culminating May 9, 1925." The- committee has planned to pre sent hundreds of school children in competive musical contests from all over the State In concerts here on Saturday, May 9, having has its climax the Rea-Rosen concert, Abolsute capacity at the price must be had if the committee is to continue its aim of giving great concerts at price within the reach of all. •I- -I- I NEW BILL OPENS TODAY AT PALACE Hughie Clark, the rotund come dian, whose weight and sense of humor have been causing some stir among jazz hands that go in for novelty and comedy, will head the new opening at the Talace That Bill Against France By Herbert Quick mN these days In which' propa ganda has so largely taken the place of those stern things which we used to know under the name of facts, it is Interesting to read something aside from propa ganda and v sickly sentiment about the four billion dollars which France so contentedly owes us. Senator Borah has written the facts—some of them. When Borah writes or speaks we are all sure of one thing; a mind of great capacity has tried to get at the truth and is telling us what it finds. Here is what Borah tells us: France is in no position to ask for the benefits of the bankrupt law. She is the most prosperous nation of all those of Europe engaged in the World War. Her industrial develop ment since the Avar has been re markable. She has practically no unemployed. In short she can pay, on any reasonable settlement, if she wants to do so. Nobody tvants to crowd her, or give her any harder terms than AA'ere given to Great Britain. Has Not Paid Cent Yet in all these years she has not paid a cent of either interest or She has never sent us a word to show that she eA'er expects to pay. Some of her statesmen like to repeat that France will pay, but when they telle to each other by speech or print, they talk like a people who haA’e resolved never to pay. a They like to say that the money was bortjOAved during the war, as if that made any difference; but more than a billion dollars of It was loaned after the war to keep France from bankruptcy then. It went out of the American taxpayers’ pockets to keep French taxpayers from having to dig it up then. They say that much of what they borrowed was spent in this country—as if that made any difference. But Borah points out that huge sums of this was loaned to France by our tax payers to pay back loans France had made—so as to save the French taxpayers from raising it then. When our troops Avent to France they charged us for everything, and their charges were not low. We paid French port charges for the ships which took our troops and supplies to her aid. We paid France a third of a billion dollars for ordnance. And we never complained, though we spent there about a third as much as France owes us. Makes Connter-Charges And the claim is made on behalf of France, notably by a distinguished Belgian writer, that we were loaned money by France during our Revolu tionary War, which we never repaid, and that with compound interest this would noAV equal France’s debt to us. This is one of those false state ments which one is tempted to call a lie; but probably those who make it belle\'e it to be true. Borah makes It impossible for them to believe it longer. France did lead us money. It helped us much. When the war was over, France promptly dunned us for the money. We expected pay and were not offended Avhen she asked us for it. And we paid it. Considering our condition we paid it promptly. We owe France nothing To Visit Us I^l Virginia Rea In keeping its faith in American artists, the Pine Arts Committee of the Chamber of Commerce will present Virginia Rea. soprano, and Max Rosen, violinist, two American artists, in a joint pro gram at the Murat on Saturday night, May 9, as the closing fea ture of Music Week. Thursday. Hughie Clark first came into prominence when ho scored a decided hit in Irving Berlin’s soldier show, “Yip Yip Yaphankers.” Other acts on the bill will include “The Broken Mirror,” twenty min utes of laughter, not seven years hard luck, with Fred Schwarz, its creator, as chief comedian. Her bery and Neely, billed as “The Laughlanders,” are recruits from the legitimate stage, lately featured with the “Ziegfeld Follies.” Eddie Fritzgerald and Harry Madison of fer a comedy skit, “It Might Have Happened,” wherein one appears as a detective in the guise of a travel ing salesman who meets up with a crook also traveling under false colors. The closing act will feature Harry Brown, the singing juggler. The screen attraction will he “Barriers Burned 'Away,” a drama of the great Chicago fire, with Frank Mayo and Wanda Hawley in the leading roles. Pathe News, Screen Topics, a comedy and review make up the balance of the program. Indianapolis theaters today offer; Royal Scottish Clans at the Lyric; “Little Miss Bluebeard” at Eng lish’s; Jack Joyce and his horses at Geith’s; Lena Daley and players at the Capitol; Nick Lucas and “As Man Desires” at the Circle; "Omar” at the Murat; “The Great Divide” at the Apollo; “One Night in Rome” at the Colonial; “Madame Sans- Gene” at the Ohio and a complete new show at the Isis. The Indiana Indorsers of Photo plays indorse the features as adult entertainment at Ohio, Apollo, Colonial, Circle and Crystal. but gratitude for her aid in that war. If any debt should be collected to the last cent, it is a Avar debt. If nations can contract debts for Avar purposes, and tho beg out of them, what incentive is there financially to keep the peace? France is able lo pay. She should pay. There is not a single reason why she should haA-e any better settlement than Britain was given. This is the con clusion of Senator Borah, and it should solve the doubts of every American. Keeping a daughter in clothes isn’t always a financial problem. Lame excuses can’t go far. The boss doesn't have as good a time as the office boy. One beautiful thing about popular songs is they don't last. Distance lends enchantment to the old swimming hole.

Dean t NEW YORK, April 30.—Two night ago I saw President Machado of Cuba whisked through the streets with a big detail of motor cycle cops clearing traffio for higfe Coming to a stop at Times SquiMr many of the passersby crowded about to get a glimpse of him. Then they turned one to another and asked "Who iaf that gink?” The president of a neighboring country could walk ,up and down Broadway attracting little attention. Yesterday I saw Jack Dempsey in an open car stop on Eighth Ave. Within .half a minute there were a hundred persons around him, hold ing forth cards and scraps of paper for his autograph; Within two minutes traffic was blocked and a cop ordered Dempsey to more. Tho crowd ran after his car and when it drew up to the curb in the next block a score of men were on the running board before it stopped. Tho chauffeur drove up Eighth Ave., circled several blocks and returned to the Pennsylvania station again. A new crowd quickly formed and the cop chased the car again. Dempsey drove to Fifth Ave. and back before he could shako off the crt)Wd and enter the station. These contrasting scenes are re lated that you may reflect on the question: What is fame? Your correspondent asks your kind indulgence if the quality of his daily record seems below' its usual low level for the present. His first radio set is keeping' him doors much of tho time and hearing more than he la seeing* There is more thrill for him in get ting a static squeak from Omahas than in getting a peep behind Broad way curtains.

Lemcke, Republican primary mayor alty candidate, in a series of ad dresses Wednesday night. •“There is no reason why the right sort of mayor should not take an active interest in the school prob lem,” Lemcke said. At the Dream Theater, 2351 Sta tion 3t., Lemcke declared he “would not be bossed by any political bosses of by any special classes.” At 720 E. Thirty-Eighth St., Lemcke said, “It augurs well for the future of Indianapolis for so many citizens, especially tho women, to interest themselves in things po litical.” In meetings at Elder and New York Sts., Patterson and Vermont Stß.. and at 810 W. Pratt St., Lfemcke devoted his attention to the subject of improving the city’s finan cial system. In several addresses Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, espoused Lemcke’s candidacy. Jewett produced an affidavit sworn to by William Rogers, in which Rog ers declared D. C. Stephenson had told him, prior to the campaign, that his obligations to John A. Duvall, candidate for Republican nomina tion, were so strong that' he would throw SIO,OOO into Duvall’s campaign fund. FRECKLES Nmv Is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots.

Is he too old? 2. In the few times I havo been with him lately I have been convinced I love him and ne loves me. Mother says it is infatuation. Is it? 3. My mother does not allow me to go with anybody, much less marry. What shall I do? BROKEN-HEARTED. 1. No. if you are normally mature for a girl of your age. 2.
