MOTOR BUS RULING; — The question of whether a state agency can legally abolish an established business, when its development may affect adversely some other business established previously, has been raised in controversies between electric railroads and motor bus lines in Indiana, in passing a law to regulate motor bus transportation, the legislature decided that lines in operation for ninety days prior to the enactment should be regarded as established enterprises, and that the public service commission must grant them certificates to do business on proof of the fact. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company challenged the constitutionality of that clause in injunction proceedings bogun in the county courts, its counsel argued that its indeterminate permit amounted to a continuing contract with the state, and that to permit motor bus traffic between the points it served was to impair an obligation. Judges Chamberlin and Miller both upheld demurrers Saturday and ruled that the ninety-day clause" was valid. The cases may be appealed to the supreme court. If they should be reversed, it would mean that the bus lines named as defendants would have to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the public service commission that public convenience and necessity called for their establishment. The situation, which has resulted in connection with these cases, when combined with the other complications that have developed in con sidering bus traffic, show what, a tangle occurs when property interests clash suddenly in the field of public service. That has always been true in transportation to a larger extent probably than in any other utility undertaking. Water traffic first encountered the steam railroads, the latter were confronted with electric roads in some places, and now motor busses have appeared to compete for business. If each type of carrier did no more 1 than provide a necessary supplement ( of the other, there would be no controversy. If free competition prevailed. that is probably all th A would do in /short time. Conditions, partly natural and partly man made, long ago operated to bring about regulation. It is a big problem that is faced—that o{ reconciling all the interests involved, not the least of which is: the public interest. —Indianapolis News. A young man recently arrested for robbing the South Kokomo bank, confessed and was to ten years in prison. He is one of those hard-boiled individuals who likes to boast of the fact that he has helped to rob five banks and in an interview concerning the protective measures now being taken by the Indiana Bankers Association, said: — “We will go right ahead. We don’t mind If there are two policemen in front of every bank. It simply means we will have to kill a couple of them before we get the money. You will have to give us credit for- one thing. ‘We are better organized than you are. Before we try to rob a bank we know the layout better than the cashier does and

jwe know all the streets and roads I' better than the police].” They ought tn operate on fellow and forget to unlock the door. r Bernard Grant, from back of the r ' Chicago stock yards, is dead. He was r Ito have been hanged August Hth hut a pal who was with him when they killed a policeman and who is also sentenced to die, settled every thing ■ s i by stabbing Grant to death, on the 0 theory that he was ‘‘framing'' him. s Grant was only twenty-two years old 11 and after Loeb and Leopold beat the a gallows started a *plea for leniency n'snd got a lot of first page publicity.' 11 His case is not settled and no doubt b ( Walter Krauser wjio murdered him in their cell, will meet his finish on Jhe day fixed by his sentence, thus disposing of two dangerous gunmen. The celebration of the Golden anniversary of the Pythian lodge here on August 20th will be a banner event, one of the largest affairs ever held in this part of the state. Speakers for the occasion will include both Indiana United States senators, James E. Watson and Samuel M. Ralston. Advertising for the occasion will be out soon and details will he announced from time to time. Suffice to say now that it will be a worth while event for the Knigbts of eastern Indiana. '! .J A good county fair is one which pleases every one who attends, whether he is interested in live stock displays, races, features, fire works, midway, art room, automobile display, machinery, style show or whatever it may be and thats the only kind, we are informed, that Mr. Williamson of Goshen, who is managing this * year's Northern Indiana fair here, knows how to put on. The selection of a number of local young people to fill the important places in high school, will please our folk. All of them are well prepared for their work and deserving of this recognition. They will have the . greatest interest in the success of the schools and with the earnest support of the patrons will advance the standards here to a high degree. Senator Ladd, another of the insurgents of the upper house and a follower of LaFollette is dead, leaving another vacancy to be filled. Ladd's home was in North Dakota. The old bloc is being broken up rapidly by , death and the working plans in the next session will be changed considerably as a result. Out in Hollywood the surgeons are tatoeing their initials near the scar of the knife, kind of an artists'trademark. That's going to look funny on those nose transformations. — o •- IBig Features Os / RADIO Programs Today ( TUESDAY’S RADIO FEATURES 4> WEAF, New York. 9 p. m. eastern daylight—Eveready four.

Berthe, beauty specialist of New York, in an address here. “Expose to sun, air and rain is a stimulus to hair gsoth,” said Mme. Berthe. "A bald savage is almost tin known. Women experience the same effects, which have been specially marked owing to the recent feminine fashions of short sleeves and skirts. Beauty operators have had in the past few years a tremendous increase in the demand for the zipping treatment, the quickest and safest way of removing a growth of undesired hair from arms and lower limbs. Limbs must be alabaster smooth. The sun says no. but zip says yes. "Hatless styles for young men and the free, dashing, open air, boyish garb of women are healthful as weH as attractive. The hair problem is a minor one. Hair is one of nature's first protective measures. It is easy to remove and when taken away, roots and all, does not coarsen the skin. College boys may notice their hair gettin sun-dried, hut a few drops of oil takes care of that. New vigorous growth is undoubtedly stimulated by direct sun nays. Many elderly men have made the same discovery after playing golf hatless during a season. Care must be taken, of course, to avoid too much exposure that may result in sunstroke."
