Duff, of London, England. Duff was the guest of T E. Myers, secretary-manager of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, for two days last week, during which time he also accepted an invitation to visit Fred Duesenberg and his spanking new 91 1-2 übic inch cars, which are being built for the 500-mlle race here May 31. While Duff's ostensible visit to America was to see a brother who is attending the University of Southern California at Los Angeles, the fact that he made a special trip to Indianapolis and asked to be driven around 'he big brick course several times, would indicate that he has designs on 'the coming Fourteenth Annual International Sweepstakes, to be run this year with the smallest motors ever seen in big league racing in America. Duff, an English veteran of the World War. though he is only thirtyone, began racing immediately after he was discharged from a year's stay at a hospital as a result of an intimate acquaintance with a creeping barrage. His most spectacular performance was the setting of a world's twenty-four-hour record at the Montlhery track, near Paris, last September. Duff, with Captain Wolfe Barnatoi. young South African millionaire, driving relief for him. covered 2.280 miles in the 24 hours at an average of 95.03 miles an hour. He also holds the double 12hour record. 86.79 miles an hour He won the Rudge-Whitwortb Grand Prix, a 24-hour race on the historic Grand Prix course at LeMans, in 1924. He took fourth in the Belgian Grand Prix in August of 1924; won tile 1923 San Sebastian (Spain) 300-mile road race and finished fourth in the Rttdge-Whit-worth of that year. "Autocar," the premier motor publication of Europe, in writing to Mr. Myers, says Duff is one of the "outstanding European racing drivers.” o— —_— I. IT.

Adams Says Voters Os Indiana Are Weary Os “Sterile Statesmanship’’ Frankfort, Ind.. April 3. — (United Press) —Voters of Indiana are weary of “sterile statesmanship,’ - Claris Adams, Indiaffnpolis attorney, who is waging a vigorous fight against Sena-i ter Watson for the republican long term senatorial nomination, told a group of Clinton county republicans here. ' The republicans of Indiana are su ; - picious of too profuse promises and they have had enough of political insincerity,- ’ Adams asserted in attacking Watson’s congressional record. Adams reiterated charges that Watson said “farmers would lie satisfied with a bag of peanuts -- and described Watson's denial as a case of "political amnesia.” i — — o “Mary And Doug” Sv. ing Business Deals Like Wall Street Vets By Paul W. White (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, April 3. — (United Press) —Two financiers from out Hollywood way are here in New York juggling corporations in a manner that might make even Wall street gasp. The two are Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, who may have been heard of before in another line of activity, but whose busine-s manipulations are likely to bring them as mu h prominence as their work on the screen Interviewed in their spacious suite on the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton, the conversation remained aloof from art and clothes and morals and all those things that movie stars are known to talk about—and centered on the “swinging of dealt” and such for all the world like a dialogue at the Banker’s Club. Mrs. Fairbanks —“Our Mary”—didn’t look the least bit business-like in her trim,' spruce tjuit that -antedated the season by a fortnight. But her speech was so replete with commercial details that her title of "America’s Sweetheart" may have to be changed to “America’s Receiver." I The worst of it is. Mary doesn’t like it. Neither does “Doug." , "We went into business defensively.” said Mary. “We didn’t like the way our pictures were produced, so we organized a producing company; we didn’t like the methods of distribution, so we organized our own distributing company, "We thought we ought to have a studio of our own, so we built that. “Now it appears we ought to have our own theatres, and Douglas and I are working on that now.” i Fairbanks explained that plans are , under way for the formation of a $lO,- , 000,000 corporation to hold stack in ■ United Ai lists and other companies . and to provide capital for the erection . 1 of theatres in various cities. "It’s an awful bother,” complained Maty, as though she might be speaking of a grocery bill instead of million- | dollar transactions. “1 may be right in the middle of a picture and have to 1 break off everything to go into a i- smoky room and argue with a dozen >1 men for four or five hours. But I'll o argue that long if it's necessary to a have them see things my way.” a The two screen luminaries admitted n that the development of their various and increased business had

kept them from acting as much as they should like. Mary made two pictures last year and Doug made one. This year their combined output will be only one. and that to be made together in Europe. The cares of finance won't even let them enjoy a vacation, they said. Since ithey have been in Manhattan a con- . tract with a German film company, involving $2,500,000. has reached the, signature stage. I After an attempt at three months of rest abroad, the Fairbanks’ will make a picture in Germany or Southern France and then will become business people again, "going on the road", through Russia and Southern Europe and possibly swinging over to the Orient. Incidentally, being no doubt truly capable financier, both Mary and Doug confess—or boast —that they couldn’t add a column of figures correctly it' the Honor of Hollywood depended upon it. RenubJicans Begin Work On Their State Platform _ l Indianapolis, Ind., April .3. — (United Press)—Early conferences with party ‘ leaders in each of the thirteen congressional districts were planned today byClyde Walb, republican state chairman, to formulate tentative planks for the platform to be submitted at the state convention in May j Walb indicated his intention to consult as many leaders as possible before the platform is whipped into shape. | “ We want to make the platform this year short and to the point and representative of party opinion." he said. Recommendation will probably be made for another reassessment of real estate in 1927 to equalize fluctuations in farm land, according to Walb. The state chairman declared every, campaign pledge of 1924 had been fulfilled by the state administration, including economy In government, enactment of the cooperative marketing measure ,and the 1925 real estate reassessment. Income Tax Returns Eor March Show Increase Washington, April 3. — (United Press) — Income tax returns for . March totalled $492,018,572.25 on . March 30 as compared with $441,492,269.87 for this same month last year, .acting secretary of the treasury Winston, announced today. With income tax receipts of March ( 31 the revenues for the month will reach $500,000,000, despite the tax re- , duction, Winston said. I 0 Sixty-Two Year Old Man Runs 180 Miles t London, April 3. — (United Press) — s Sixty-two years old and still able to step out and beat most of the runners, that is C. A. W. Hart, veteran 1 English distance runner. K Hart has just completed a 180-mile 1- run which he had wagered he could t accomplish in three days. o The runner covered the entire disa tance in 28 hours of running time. n o- — H Greensburg. — Objecting that it is o dangerous for a 3,300 volt high tension line to be constructed along d North street, property owners are atis tempting to have the line laid underd ground.

C. M. T. C. AID TO YOUNG MANHOOD Physical Defects Os Youth Are Corrected At Summer Training ( amp Colonel F. W. Glover, officer in charge of the Citizens' Military 1 raining camps for (lie Fifth Corps area (comprising the states of Kentucky.; West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio) has issued the following statement on tho status of the present enrollment campaign for this year's camps: "The war department is stressing the Importance of the Citizens' Military Training camps more than ever, due principally to tho fact that it is lealized that a largo per centage of American ypuths of the present generation are physically defective, probably due to changed standards of liv-| ing. In the days of the American Revolution all young Americans were tuught to ride and shoot find were physically developed to undergo great hardships. Tly? automobile and the luxurious living of the present day is beginning to tell on the young men of this country. For this reason, the Citizens' Military Training camps are now becoming one of our most popular institutions for the development of young manhood. laist year the ' 35,000 young men trained in these camps increased in weight an average of 5 pounds per man during the 30 days of training, in other words, nearly 90 tons of muscle and brawn i were grafted onto these boys. We i have already enrolled in the Fifth Corps area (Kentucky, West Virginia. Ohio and Indiana) nearly 2,000 young men for the 192 G camps." An interesting feature of this year’s camps will be a number of scholar- ■ ships donated by some of the leading ■ colleges and business schools through- . out the middle west for outstanding J graduates of the C. M. T. C. in addiI tion to this, credit is now being given in all high schools for training at Citizens' Military Training camps." | "Training in citizenship, physical development anil athletic sports of all kinds will be featured more than ever." "It is a splendid tribute to the i patriotism and high sense of public duty of the people of the four states of Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana and Wes< Virginia. that these four states comprising the Fifth corps area have already enrolled more young men for the 1926 Citizens' Military Training camps than any other section of the United Stales.” o Many English Becoming Mohammedans Is Claim I ' London, April 3.—(United Press) — “Since, the War.

Thoughtful women are especially surprised to discover, contrary to the widespread Christian notion, that the Holy Quar-an places ! woman on a higher plane than either the Old Testament or the New,” Sheldrake explained. Khalid Sheldrake is a young man bubbling over with energy and humor, lie is married and has a daughter; both mother and daughter, he said, are Mohammedans. "There is nothing in the Quar-an making polygamy compulsory," he Cotntinued. "In Eastern countries where conditions have permitted polygamy, the Quar-an has laid down certain eminently sensible rules for the guidance of that type of family life, but today polygamy is fast disappearing as an institution.
