(PAT) PAGE Indianapolis, Ind - From a comli.itatively unknown School, to one with a national reputation is one of i tii many records accomplished by Butler I’niversity under the tutelage of II (). (Pat) Page, since 1920. Mr. Page, a former athlete at the l it versity o.* Chicago and at one time an assistant to Coach Stagg, arrived at Butler in the fall of 1920. He had about firn students, most of them girls, from whom to select a football team and the material he had to work with was only mediocre. Now after four years Mr. Page has develuped championship teams in almost every branch of athletics. Pages basketball and track teams are nationally known and his football and basket ball teams have deft at-d many of the biggest schools of the midwest. From the athletes who have workid miller Pat Page has come Haldane Griggs, who in the football season of 1924 was the ‘‘boy with the golden toe.” w nning many games by his drop and place kicking. George MuiHolland, a football player, was a member of the Olympic boxing team, and Kotierf Blessing, a four letter man at Butler, is now a member of the t’ounibus. i>.. baseball learn of the Aim -r---can association. And all the credit for the meteoric ■ise of the school is given by the leople of Indianapolis to 11. O. (Pat) I’agf. — b Thirty-two Bantis To Play At Auto Races Indianapolis. .May 27.

Millions Lost Through Bad Investments Annually Millions of dollars are lost annually by the public through unfortunate nivestinoiits. The Fort Wayne Better Business Bureau was organized to help combat the sale of worthless eiurities and to disseminate information about the tricks employed by various houses to swindle the investing public. Os late years the practice of ca)l- ( ing investors on the telephone and offering listed securities upon a marginal basis has become a familiar practice with certain types of broki rage Imuses. Reputable houses do not call up a total stranger and urgej him to purchase securities. The houses that have availed themselves of this practice have usually offered good issues in order to build up a clientele and establish confidence. After they have obtained your con- ( fidence they will resort to switching or pick some issue that is highly inflated and “bucket” it. The first issues offered are usually well regarded and of a fairly high market value. If the market drops a point or a fraction there is no serious loss. If the house uses the switching method they will advise the purchase of some issue having a low market value. Suppose the issue is selling for around $2.00 a share. In this case a drop of’ a fraction of a point will mean a very serious loss. If bucketing is practiced the clients’ order is either purchased and then immediately resold or else the securities arc net even purchased. After ottering issues that are known to be g.<od tiw> house will strongly recommend some issue th.it is inflated. If Good Dispositions Invaluable Yon can't watch your disposition too carefully. A crab and a grouch -ire rarely successful. If your liver and stomach are In an unhealthy condition you can not have a sunny disposition because Miey affect the brain as well as the entire system. Mayr's Wonderful Remedy has been usually successful in such cases Our advice to everyone troubled in this v.ay, especially when accompanied with bloating in the stomach, is to try this remedy. It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the caiarrlial mucus from the intestinal tract 'and allays the inflamma tion which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. including appendicitis.
