POLICE PATROL CARS IN ACCIDENTS Six Persons Injured In Crashes At Indianapolis; One Prisoner Makes Escape Indianapolis. Aprji 23. — (United Press) —Two men are in custody, six persons are suffering from injuries,' and one escaped prisoner has been ' captured as a result of two accidents in which police patrol cars figured here. The first accident occurred when a police patrol wagon was struck by a car driven by Harry Lee, a negro. Two prisoners riding in the wagon— Mary Gray, negro, and John Dan-' dridge—both escaped immediately after the crash. The woman was captured a short time later. A pdlice squad car hurrying to the scene of the accident crashed into a coal truck driven by J. A. Pedigo. Pedigo escaped injury but the officers did not. The injured officers are Patrolmen Elmer E. Clary, George M. Anderson, Harley Jones, and Walter Skinner and Lieut. L. B. Forsythe. Edward Fulk, an Indianapolis news reporter is the other injured man. Lee was arrested on chares of speeding, assault and battery, and reckless driving and Pedigo was charged with failing to give the right-of-way to the police. f o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays

Cartoonists bind Their Ideas In Foibles of Man, Says Briggs

Where do artists and cartoonists get the ideas for those inanimate characters of pen and ink which romp across the pages of thousands of newspapers in comic strips and "funny papers" and split th© sides of a nation with their droll antics? I Do these lugubrious brain children of such famous cartoonists as Clare Briggs. "Bud” Fisher, “Rube" 'Goldberg, and the other pef> and ink magicians, spring entirely from the imagination of their creators, or do they find their counter/brts in real life, in the fads, foibles and fancies •of the average "Main Streeter”? I Manv a citizen will agree with Clare Briggs that its "A Grr.nd and Glorious Feeling" to find that the jury summons received in the morning" mail was intended for the man next door, or after reading mournful predictions of higher-than-ever turkey prices around the first of November, to learn just before Thanksgiving that the price of that popular bird is scheduled for a tumble the next day. *> | Speaking recently in New York, Mr. Briggs, whose “Mr. and Mrs.”, "Ain’t it a Grand and Glorious Feeling,” and “When A Feller Needs A Friend,” evoke chuckles and guffaws from the most dour pessimist, declared that while inspiration and imagination are essential to the work of a cartoonist, a surprisingly great quantity of his work is done by other people, most of whom he has never seen. | “I have been asked,” said Briggs, “where I get my ideas. The average person may be surprised to learn that most of my ideas come from the average person. 1 “Last summer I went on a fishing ,trip to Lake Archambault, in the Laurentian hills of Canada. I resigned myself to mental and bodily relaxation, having left instructions that no mail was to be forwarded to me. “One evening I returned to my cabin and found two large sacks packed with mail addressed to me, which proved to be mostly greeting cards from friends and well-wishers from all over the country. One of my companions observed grinningly, ‘Somebody's always taking the joy out of life,’ to which I heartily agreed. « “A heavy downpour spoiled the next day for fishing so 1 whiled ] Liming The Lawn Called Waste Os Time And Money Lafayette, Ind.. April 23 —(UP) — Liming the lawn is time and money i wasted, since application of the lime in usually followed hv an increase in the number of weeds, according to A. A. Hansen, of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Weeds naturally grow in sweet .-oil and when the land is sour the weeds are put at a disadvantage. It :s for this reason that sweetening the lawn with lime causes the weeds to flmtish. As a matter of fact many weedy lawns in Indiana owe their condition to the accumulation of lime from the sprinkling water, since Indiana water is high in lime content. Bluegrass, the commonest lawn p act in Indiana, will thrive in subacid soils that are unfavorable to dan-

• delions, plantain and ether common ' lawn pests, although it will not grow I well where the soil becomes strongly acid. I There is little danger of two much isacidity in Indiana lawns that are sprinkled regularly, however. To prevent the accumulation of too much lime by sprinkling the use of acid reacting fertilizers such as sulphate of ammonia is recommended. I Queen Mary Os England Shuns Beauty Parlors London (United Press). — Queen Mary is one of the few Queens of Europa who does not patronize a 1 'beauty parlor. The Queen was recently being shown around a new large ito'el here and after entering and inspecting the beauty parlor of the hotel turned to her guide and exclaimed, “Well, this is the first time I have ever been in a beauty parlor." It is known that several visiting Queens have attended a prominent beauty parlor here for extensive | courses of treatment, but the establishment is as discreet as the Foreign Office itself Regarding th,ese visits and nothing is ever heard of the royal patronage. • o Literary Rebellion Stirring In Russia Moscow. —(JJ.P.) —A literary revolt against revolutionary literature and drama is making itself felt in Russia. ■ Meetings of workmen have passed ' resolutions protesting against the never-ending Communistic propaganda ’ in the theatres, which is also apparent in most of the revolutionary literature. Drama and grand opera with any sort of monarchists tinge has , ‘ been vigorously excluded from the I stage. The new literature, the work of a younger generation of writers who i have come up since the Bolshevik reI volution of 1917 and have developed ■' under the influence of Communism, is L

I waX I siSr J 'Wa - ■ 1 SKBS ■***> Clare Brigg* away the time looking over these greetings from unknown friends. One man in Mississippi urged me not to reveal all of the male artifices and stratagems in ‘Mr. and Mrs.,’ but to let ‘Mr.’ put it over on ’Mrs? once in a while. A woman in New York suggested that it is the final' decree from a Reno judge that gives one ‘That Grand and Glorious Feeling.’ » “In those two sacks of n.ail I' found enough ideas to keep me busy for a month. I suddenly realized that I had been playing too long; that work beckoned. The next day; found me enroute for New York to work out these very ideas. “So that’s how many a cartoonist gets his ideas; not only from a study of human nature and the little, human experiences of life, but from greetings, suggestisns and critical advice from friends and well-wishers. “I have come to the conclusion that after all, the time when ‘A Feller Needs a Friend', is when he loses the human point of view.*On the other hand, ‘Ain’t it a Grand and Glorious Feeling’ to know that your work is appreciated, that little and big boys and girls everywhere like what you are doing well enough to send you a greeting card telling you so.”

also coming in for sharp criticism from the workers of Russia. Indecent frankness, under the guise of realism and profanity Os a sort which never crept into Russian literature before the World War. are particularly dis liked by the lay critics. The tendency of several prominent young authors to simplify the Russian language to an extreme degree and to insert words of their own Invention of localism little understood, -is another cause for vigorous complaint. o Spent Years on Book Forcellinl. who compiled the monumental “Lexicon of AH Latin,” spent 35 years on this prodigious work.

Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated in the bowels ami absorlx'd into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus foro'ng the kidineys to do double work; they become | weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ( iinces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize evid ty. remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping f > rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid Os grapes and lemon juice, <otiil»iied with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to iheumatjym.

BDSINESS OPENS AT STATE PARKS • Advance Guard Os Many Thousands Os V isitors Appears At Parks Already Indianapolis, Ind., April 23—Already the advance guard of the season’s many thousands of state park visitors is appearing at Indiana’s unique and entrancing wooded reservations, indicative, according to Richard Lieber, conservation director and the one man who has dime more than all others to further the state park movement in state end nation, that 1927 will be the banner attendance year in park popularitv In Hoosierland. For the first time in history, Indi-! ana this season has an inland lake! park for public enjoyment, and in preparation of a great demand on this io.servation, is rapidly finishing, one unit of a hotel to be opened late in May. This is at Pokagon State Park on Lake James, in Steuben county. 8 miles north of Angola and connected by excellent state highway. This park although making its debut with hotel accomodations only this spring, offers all attractions attendant to lake-side vacationing such as nodern hotel service at modest cost.' boating, Lathing and excellent fishing. Turkey Run, near Marshall; Clifty, Falls 2 miles from Madison, and McCormick near Spencer in Owen county well developed and patronized by more than 260,000 people last year, have extended their services to meet an enlarged attendance this year. Park management has overlooked no detail to insure comfort to guests, and neither is it unmindful that marking trails through the spacious environs provide easy and pleasant accessibil'ty to all parts of the wonderously beautiful parks. Practically every kind of scenery found on the American continent, ■ven to a wide, glorious stretch of beach at Dunes Park on Lake Michigan, opened in the late summer of 1926. :s available in the state’s six paiks, although some of it is In mlnature. Beautiful beaches and timbered shore lines with hinderland and oiling landscape await the visitor to he Dunes and Lake James, while
