Jan. 30.—The Retard of works in regular meeting purchased 15() new street lamps that will be Used in replacing the old street lights about the city The new lamps, known as the Leivolite, not only give more than double the amount of light as old arcs but use less current in their operation. Not only will the cost of operation be reduced in the use of the new lamps but the change will be weltomed by the radio fans of the city in as much as the old arc lamps create a disturbance very detrimental to jidio reception while the new lamps jnve no more disturbance than an ordinary light bulb used in a home. The new lamps will be shipped from a South Bend factory to this city within the next thirty days and were purchased at a price of $16.55 at the factory. Thirty street lights of a type sjm ilar to those purchased are now in use in this city in the downtown business section and are said to have given the best of service. — o Charges Os Immorality At Wisconsin University By E. P. Mallinc. (U. I*. Staff Correspondent) Madison, Wia., Jan. 30. — Bablycmian revels in the Latin quarter were painted in lurid colors by Judge Ole Stolen today as he reiterated his charge of immorality among University of Wisconsin students. All night carousals, drinking and immorality— that is what has taken Place iu some fraternity houses at thr university. Judge Stolen said. Hi o stories of these wild parties came hum the lips of “town girls” haled nio juvenile court for delinquency.

Jan. 30.—State publication of all common school text books and distribution of the books to counties at cost are provisions of n bill which is soon to bo introduced in the house, it was learned today. The proposed measure would deprive the state board of education of its power to adopt texts and place authority in the hands of county school officials. ft provides that the state shall hold copyrights on all texts and supervise the printing of books. It is understood that the house committee on education agreed on tßedraft of the bill at a recent meeting, and to pave the way for the new measure. Representative Johnson of Hamilton county has withdrawn his bill extending the term ot adoption of text books from live to ten years. Last week he introduced a joint resolution covering the situation, which was immediately taken before Governor Jackson. Attorney General Gllllom in an opinion to the Governor held that the Ohio public service commission has authority to regulate Indiana busses operating in Ohio as common carriers, but not those busses which operate on private contract or do an occasional business. It was pointed out that the Martinsville bus driver was operating on a private contract and was therefore not subject to regulations of the Ohio commission. o—x s—»—»— WANT ADf EARN—

'Barney Oldfield To Race In Speed Boat In South Miami Reach, Fla., Jan. 30.—Barney Oldfield, time honored automobile racing star of the active speeding days of Henry Ford, who has been in retirement for several years, will light another cigar and make a return engagement in his speeding antics, when he pilots n speed boat In the Biscayne Bay Regatta to be held here March 20-21. Barney, the driver "who never looked back," will be pitted, among others, against Ralph De Palma, with whom he has staged hundreds of speed duels in racing automobiles on tracks in all parts ot this merry landIn action they are tha bitterest of leaving no ounce ot speed in any space eating contraption they may be maneuvering to outdrive each other. In the days of yesteryear they have brought hundreds ot thousands of people to -their feet, caused millions ot extra heart beats and made fprtunes for themselves in speed brushes that, have made their names household words whenever hapidity is discussed. Oldfield, who claimed ho hadn't ridden for years in anything faster than a street car until a traffic cop cauht him off base in California a few weeks ago. has never driven a speed boat. He will come here many days in advance of some of the other pilots, who are all noted automobile racing drivers, to skim his boat over the water course. Within a few days he expects to b<- able to master the art of making left turns and remaining on the course. In accepting his invitation to par•ieipate in the race here' Oldfield wired. "It ought to be a cinch for me. But don’t eiecl any fences on Un-

course." 1 ■ —o Gets Clear Title To The Limberlost Cabin Geneva. Jan. 30.—Dr. C. R. Price, owner of Limberlost Cabin, just received a clear title to the property last week, after an investigation and court action lasting five years. Os course when he bought the property of Chas. D. Porter, it was a part of the contract that Mr. Porter furnish t clear title to the estate, and the latter has spent a great deal of time and money in procuring it. The part of this story most interesting to Geneva people is that this investigation brought to light the fact that there has been a flaw in the title to practically all of the ■ south part of Geneva. It seems that • Mr. Studebaker, owner of the eight 1 acre, farm which extended as far south as the Jerry Swank property and as far west as the Glassburn 1 home, left a will providing that one • of his children receive the property - and that another party out of the I —

estate he paid a certain sum of money. Now there is no record of the money having been paid, and that fact creates a flaw in the title.
