Mr. Brand)) asked. “Instead of taxpayers and property bearing the burden of keeping the orphan children, let the Moose do it. Let the father do it, through membership in the Loyal Order of Moose,” continued Mr. Brandon. “If every male resident over 21 years of age in Decatur was a member of the Moose lodge, in good standing, yo.tr orphan problem could be solved immediately. if you make every man a member of the Moose, Mooseheart will take every orphan child yolt have and give him or her a home and you as taxpayers will not' have to pay one cent for their board and lodging.” Mr. Brandon's address was full of good thought.

Menu Suggested For Golden Rule Sunday ■ I 1 Menus that .may bo used for the sacrificial dinner which the Near East Relief has asked citizens of fourteen nations, including the United States, to eat Sunday, to substitute for the Sunday dinner of families in moderate circumstances, have been suggested by Miss Mary Matthews, director of home economics of Purdue University; Oscar, chef of the Waldort'-Astoriu. New York City, and Miss Anna Barrows, School of Practical Arts, Teachers College, Columbia University. Miss Matthews suggMts these three choices in menus: * No. 1 Spanish Rice Stewed Onions Graham Bread Custard Made With Condensed Milk No. 2 Rice and Vegetable Chowder Cabbage and Carrot Salad Whole Wheat Bread Stewed Prunes No. 3 Baked Beans Esculloped Tomatoes Dropped Cornbread Apple Sauce Give the Difference ■ The'jjolnt of the sacrificial dinner for Golden Rule Sunday is that the difference in the price of tho regulation Sunday dinner and the sacrificial dinner which the near east is asking men. women and children all over the world to eat just that one day shall be given to the near east relief for Armenian children and their parents Who are starving Asia’s lean worlf in the face. If Mr. and Mrs. Indiana are accustomed to paying $2 for the family Sunday dinner, they may eat one of the proposed sacrificial dinner menus at one-eighth that sum and give the remaining $1.75 to Armenians who have been eating such dinners for a long time. 1 ’ 1 I W • ' ■ " ■ ■ Gary and South Bend Tie In Football Game Gary, Dec.

The men are assigned to the engine and hook and ladder and are capable and willing. A small leak in one of the connections of the vacuum system sometimes makes it impossible to maintain the proper fuel level in the tank, especially when the pulling is hard. Such leaks are indicated by the hissing sound which is produced at the point of leakage, but the loud hissing of the suction through the carburetor makes it difficult to hear. A good method of locating the leak is to proceed as follows: remove the screws which fasten the carburetor to the engine, cut a piece of cardboard large enough to replace the gasket which is used at this point, but do not cut a hole in it. Then when the engine is turned over, the suct Io n will be through the vacuum line only, and the leak will be indicated by the hissing round. —Automobile Digest.

Must Have Warrant To Search Cars For Liquor Ft. Wayne. Dec. 1. —Officers of the law have t)o legal right to search an automobile for Intoxicafting liquor without a search warrant, Howard L. Townsend, former judge of the Indiana supreme court, held late yesterday as special judge in the circuit court. He ordered the sheriff to return to Mrs. Winnie Jamison 18 cases of home brew and an automobile which had been seized on July 11 without a search warrant. The decision, it is said, will attract State wide attention as it is probably the first one that has even been handed down on the question in Indiana.

The aupretne court haa not ruled on the quMtion. * The decision la a serious set-back to the enforcement of the slate prohibition according to Prosecutor Louis F. Crosby, who said: “We might as well give up trying to arrest anyone for the transportation of liquor, if an officer has to get a search warrant first, the automobile could be half way across the state.” Judge Townsend held that officers have no authority to search an automobile without a warrant-unless their senses tell them beyond a doubt that there is liquor in tho automobile. Mere information to that effect is not sufficient, he ruled.
