Mr. Beatty Says Age Limit Should Not be Changed. — I Poolrooms were denounced when I the Cravens bill relating to poblrooms ' was under consideration. This bill I i I ; proposes to permit minors to play Ipool in philanthropic and I institutions, such as the Y M. C. A. and other places of a similar charac- ■ • ter. The bill was up for second reading. An amendment that would permit boys over the age of eighteen to play pool in any poolhoom not connected with a saloon was offered by Representative Sele. It was tabled after Representative Beatty had attacked the poolrooms of the state as “more detrimental than the saloons to the boys.” "It is bad enough to permit young men of twenty-one to congregate in poolrooms,” said Mr. Beatty, “without letting children of eighteen go to these places, filled with cigarette smoke and evil knowledge. They are a disgrace to the state. Don't send mothers to poolrooms to take their boys away from the things that contaminate by adopting this amendment.” Mr. Cravens said he would prefer to withdraw his bill rather than see the Sale amendment adopted. Sale said he believed boys of eighteen knew how to take care of themselves. They had opportunities to learn to play pool in Y. M. C. IA. buildings at earlier ages, he said. ' After his ademndent was killed the bill was advanced to engrossment.— Indianapalis News. FOUR BURN TO DEATH.

Like the true Irish Lassie that she is, Miss Esther Corbett took the St. Patrick colors, the dainty green and white, for the keynote of the decorations when she entertained the Sina Cura and Poinsettia clubs Wednesday evening. The festivities were of more than the usual order, being elaborated in honor of Miss Naomi Niblick, a bride-elect, the guests by pre-arrang-ed plans, giving her a handkerchief shower at this time.
