The “flyby-night" character of the W . in many of these sortlled restaurants, King says, makes ,t inpossible for the state board of I hM )th to maintain an adequate inspecI tton. King declared that most o fthe waitwaiters and cooks plan to stay jith the restaurant or "hole-in-the-tnll-only a short time and as a result i I they take no pride in their work and slipshod conditions result. •The people of Indiana, unwittingly, are to blame for this condition." King M id. “The majority of the people today eat their meals in a hurrypip * ou,d be a botter word — and ,he ' drug store lunch counter and the hole in the wall offer the best solution of the 'eat and run’ problem.” King explained that these people as a rule do not realize they are taking a chance with their health, not only | from the standpoint of their stomach i but from a general health standpoint. <- “In the old days,” King said, “a man would not have been satisfied if he did not have at least an hour to eat. Now if he takes 20 minutes he foals hr has spent considerable time. JWwew, should he obtain some disease tom drinking out of a glass that had otly been half washed, he would be the first person to condemn the health authorities for laxity.” The health board head explained that less than a decade ago there was pot a city in the state of 4,000 population or more that did not boast of a good restaurant and some cities had several. In these restaurants the foods were prepared in specially equipped kitchens and served by experienced waitresses. Today even the hotels in the smaller towns, King said, have abolished their restaurants and dining rooms. 0 Maintenance Forces Get Workout On State Roads Indianapolis, Ind.. Jan. 30 —(Special) — Threatened traffic blockades on some state highways caused by recent thaws followed by heavy, fall of snow and cold weather resulting in flood waters and ice jams were prevented by maintenance forces working day and night to keep these traffic lanes open, it was disclosed today in the stale highway commission's traffic bulletin, issued from the office of John b. Williams, director. Particularly ins this true in southern Indiana on State Road No. 1, where patrol and maintenance crews fought the elements for hours to keep traffic moving. I Ice and drift jammed against u temporary bridge at Marshfield, blocking the stream channel and causing a difference of about 3 feet in the water Irrel between the upstream and down t'ream sides of the structure. Water also backed over the road. It was orcessary to use more, than 100 Pounds of dynamite to clear the stream channel of ice and debris, and then break up and remove the sheet ice j of f the road surface. road maintenance efficiency ! *as never better demonstrated than 11 the last few days when important rw s that only a few years back were f nerally blocked at such periods, ere open to traffic much to the invenience and financial gain of the «eneral public. in^h"^ eD M rs ' O’ SV.

Gypsies' Origin In India Is Established By F. A. Mathis iUnited Press Staff Correspondent) Berjin, Jan. 30.—(United Press )— 'The scientific researches, mad* in the I German prisoners camps during the 'war have led to nnmerotr, amazing results. Best known is the ' museum of ! voices," the collection of records of innumerable languages, in which men of al) countries gave examples of their native idoms and dialects. One of the most interesting discoveries made re fer-> to the Gypsies and throws light nn the origin of thh mysterious nomad people. | The Gypsies, as is hinted In their name, were believed to be of Egyptian otigln. Their leaders, when they first came to Europe in the 16th century, called themselves Kings and Dukes of Little Egypt. Now the linguistic researches have proved that they really originated in India. | Among the Roumanian and Russian prisoners and those from the Balkans t.heie was a sufficient number of Gypsies to enable the German scientists to study their language notwithstanding their efforts to guard their mysterious genesis. So it was possible to draw up a long list of words which were common to Gypsies from different countries and which all correspond Ito sanserif words. Thus the Gypsy Isays "kast" for timber, while the old Indian word is “kastha." The respective words for coal are “angar" and j “angara.” and the denominations for ! numerous other things are just as similar. While thus the origin of the Gypsies was scientifically fixed, it was also possible, by a study of their proverbs, poems and legends to show why they have become the prototype of the “bohemien.” They have an inborn aversion to sedate home life and repay the contempt of orderly people by despising the ‘ bourgeois.” Their vocabulary for the representatives of the law is rich and not without irony. For example, the burgomaster is called "fat gentleman" or “fat belly." p Like the “bohemien," the Gypsies are artists, and include musicians who

Moran, chief of the Treasury Secret Service. “The sentences imposed on count erfelters,” Moran said, “are not as severe as they used to be. The old line crooks, such as burglars', hold-up men and thieves generally, up to within five or six years ago, fought shy of Federal offenses. Hut that is not. the condition now." Since the Volstead Act was enacted, Moran believes the counterfeiting bands have not been fearful of the United States Courts. "Counterfeiting today," Moran said, “Is about as extensive as I have ever known it, in volume. The character of counterfeits however, is quite poor.” • n- - — Automatic Stop And Go Signs Interfere With Radio Sets; Fans Rebel Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 30. —(United Press) —For the past few years motorists have been discussing and cussing the automatic stop and go traffic signals installed here and today radio fans took up the fight.
