Are Recruiting For Indiana National Guard (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Jan 12-Recruiting for H1 „ Indiana National Guard to replace vacancies falling due through distliurge of men enlisted three years ago, is being conducted in a conservative' manner by the guard. AdjutantGeneral Harry B- Smith, said today. ■The personal of the outfit Is Very high at this time,” Gen. Smith said. .. W p want to keep it that way.” Membership in the guard totals r.ooo Officers and enlisted men at the present time. Gen. Smith said. I'niQue methods have been adopted for recuiting the guard. Instead of exhibiting pieces of field artillery on street corners, as is sometimes done, the guard is adopting the plan of bolding athletic contests or meetings of other general appeal for the pur pose of interesting the men in the •club” phase of the guard. ■ We are planning to get up seVeral contests through the year for the pur pose of developing a spirited crops which is impossible to get in any other way. as well as increasing the number in the ranks,” the general said. •T or Instance, at a meeting of the committee on these meetings, we wen discussing what form of athletics would put on beside boxing. I suggest ed that it might be good to have some good wrestling matches. "One man said he knew a fellowin his outfit who could Tick’ almost anyone in this locality in the amateur class. ■'An enlisted man. who had failed to take much interest in the meeting up to that point, came to suddenly and asked: ••How much does he weigh? I can take on anybody in my weight." That settled it. the general said, and wrestling was included on the program. ■ ■ o Auto Accidents Take Many Lives In 1923 Indianapolis. Jun. 12 —Auto accidents took a grim toll of dead and injured in Indiana in 1923. Figures at the office of the state board of health show that 448 uersons met their death in auto accidents during the first eleven months of the year. The total for the twelve months will probably be nearly 475. The number of injured, some main-i-d for life, others only slightly hnrt. will total several thousand. Indianapolis, due to her large population rather than to any undue care-Jea.-ness on the part of her drivers, “ook first place with 62 deaths and a round 2.000 injured. This was in spice of a consttant campaign carried on by police officials to curb reckless driving. “Accident Prevention Week.” late in the fall was marked with futilities that nearly established a death a-day nate for the week. Back in 1910 people were startled to learn that the one-lunged motors ot those days carried 38 Hoosiers to a violent death. In 1918 when the number of auto deaths passed the 200 mark, that fact meant little in comparison with the greater slaughter on the battlefields of Prance. People were becoming and figures didn't mean much. By 1922 the total reach's! 882, but the grim warning of the Coroners' returns was unhe»-d>*d this year, which showed an increase of nearly 100 a ito deaths, by far the largest inci ease on record. Throughout the summer months It ass a dull Sunday that did not see n half dozen pleasure seekers ground to death In grade crossing accidents. Some of the fatilitles may have been from unavoid able causes. In Mine cases the coroner's verdict showed the driver was speeding along under the influence of liquor. And happen because the driver was In such ■ hurry he had to take a • hance and lost. William O'Connor, n crossing watch man in Indianapolis who looks out for the lives of thousands of motorist* '■very day. beilves it will d<> many driver* good to aign the safety pledge Not ell driver* are dangerous or of a snlcMnl bent, he say*, hut ”nome of ’hem haven't the sense to drive a wheelbarrow right."

“Elly” Bassett Back Home To Win Back His Wife’s Confidence (By Miles W. Vaughn) (IT. I*. Staff Correspond' ni) Madison, Conn., Jan. 12. Madison's population, the whole thousand of it. was up bright and early today to witness the struggle of “Elly” Hassett, who grew up as a “handy” young man around the village, battle his way back into the confidence of his wife, who Is the pride z of the town gills' basketball team. "Elly" as his homo folks long have known him, is back after resigning his job as personal representative of Nina Wileox Putman, a job which brought from his wife this week the charge that he had left bis family for the noted novelist. After two unsuccessful attempts to see Mrs. Bassett, last night and ( x plain, "Elly" and his wife spent the night in adjoining homes along the Boston Post road near the edge ot this seaside village. Mrs. Bassett remained with a girl friend and team mate of the basketball team, while Bassett was housed by his friend, Harrison Dowd, a writer who also is as: lend of Mrs. Putnam. Among the first up in the village today was Bassett. He was ready for a fresh and supreme effort to see his wife today . "I have come more than half way." ho told the United Press this morning. “I have come nine tenths of the way. I am prepared to come still further if she will forget tlyo hideous falsehoods she has been hearing about Mrs. Putnam, and come a little of the distance herself. "I think she will lake to me when we meet face to face. We need only a few words together. She will be lieve me." When Bassett arrived last night, his coming had been rumored throughout the village. His call at the postoffice where his wife works was the signal for many of the village folks turning out to greet him. The attitude was that of friends who thought one of their number had pranked a bit and were interested in seeing how he made out with his best girl after a tiff. Chicago Bootleggers Are (Jetting The Dope On “Izzy’s” Makeups Chicago. Jan. 12. Izzy Einstein may be slick, but Chicago's bootleggers believe they are slicker. You know lily. He's the best bet of the prohibition enforcement official He’s a pratean artist; one minute he's an honest but order serous fish peddler, the next minute he is an aristocratic Kentucky colons; then he blossoms out as a college freshman and so on. Last night a I nxom. smiling prlma donna sort of lady sidled up to a bell boy in a hotel here and asked where she could obtain some liquor. "Aha.” chortled a beetle-browed man in the office, making notes on n paper. “That's disguise number 37.” The beetle-browed man was a detective. That's the tip-off on the joy of the Chicago liootleggers. They knew that Izzy, who operated so suecessfully in New York and other big cities, would gravitate to Chicago. So. according to the story, they clubbed together and hired detectives to shadow Uzy nnd make note of his various disguises. It Is understood that scores of bootleggers chipped In S2OO a piece. And now they claim they have nil of Izzy's makeups tabulated ami numbered. Would Preserve Old Mansion At Madison Muncie. Jan. 12. —Arthur Ball.
