UtUNCHES DRIVE AGAINST NICOTINE; I \o-Tobacco League Makes I ‘ * t ta C k On “Smoking Mothers” Os Today mdlantpon*. oct. 3 - (UP) - The t9ll campaign against nicotine Xehed today by Charle. M. Fillmore general secretary of the No-To-Lco League of America, with an attafk on what he termed •'smoking moI ' "in'reply to a question regarding the effect upon children of cigaret smoking by prospective mothers. Fillmore spoke as follows: ••When you can show me a successful breeder of horses, cattle, hogs, mules, dogs, cats or any other crefttI ur( . who habitaully mixes tobacco In the food of mare, stalion, cow, bull, sow boar, jack. Jenny, rooster, hen. or any other male or female progenitor of its species then and not until thei 1 listen when you tell me that It makes no difference whether the r.-hor, ped mothers of boys and girls I use tobacco.” | From his office here Fillmore plans a particularly vigorous campaign during the next few months. ••Let us keep the young folks free from the blight of nicotine," and "Let us teach youth the truMi about tobacco" have been the slogans for the league. but to these Fillmore has added. “Let us teach mothers-to-be that it they wish healthy and normal children, they must not use tobacco in any form.” . | Fillmore revealed that U. S. Senator James E. Watson never replied to his letter asking why Watson permitted the use of his name in an advertisement that quoted him as pre-' sering a certain brand of cigaretts. “ Jim. why did you do it?” was the tenor of a letter Fillmore wrote to Watson shortly after the advertisement appeared. i "But he never answered," Fillmore said today. o I HEDDA HOYT TELLS | ....about... | FASHIONS for WOMEN | « i Paris (United Press) —Shanel remains true to straight slender lines and at this establishment at least the slim silhouette rules supretfte. Skirts here as elsewhere are a litle longer than formerly and low waistlines continue to rule. I It is in sports costumes that one sees the greatest change for skirts in Chanel's sp rt collections which are invariably plain and narrow rather than' pleated. Most of these have an inverted front pleat or a cluster of pleats, at one side to allow fullness for walking. Jumbers invariably have narrow! low-placed belts made of self-fabric' which fasten with exquisite buckles set with stones of matching color to, the dress. In some instances the jeweled belt buckles are matched by pins anl sleeve bracelet. i Much lace is seen in the evening seilections, the lace being dyed and posed over harmonizing slips. Narrow! belts of lace are replacing belts sashes, ' ribbon or contrasting fabric. Neck-! lines are rounded, V-shape or square and are not extremely low in cut, the rear line usually being deeper than 1 the front, however. Many lace dinner gowns have their simple straight lines broken by the placement of a long flared side panel which extends almost to the floor. In fact, most gowns, whether of afternoon or evening type have one side of the skirt much shor-| •er than the opposite side. Straight hemlines are rarely noted this season' at smart showings. Velvet ensemule costumes of afternoon type are well represented in the [ < hanel collection, the coats extending almost to the hem of the dress and being of loose wrap-around tlpe. Street suits in the Channel collection have plain skirts and long loose jackets as a rule with navy blue, brown and deep red shades perdominating. Brown here, as elsewhere, is the favored Parisian color for winter. Many Jackets in Chanel’s collection are eu- 1 tirely collarless while the blouse collar is worn outside the jacket. In some j cases the blouse cuffs are also worn on the outside of the coat sleeve. — o PRINCETON—Mr. and Mrs. James Powell arrived in separate ambulances at the Methodist hospital hero almost simultaneously. Powell was injured at a mine where he Is employed and his wife had suffered an attack of acute appendicitis at their home.

Bay State Locomotives’ Colors Cause Argument i ! Boston, Oct. " — (UUP) —When officials of the Boston and Maine rail- ' road decided to abandon the conventional black and paint two of their locomotives in colors, they little real- | Ized they were starting a controversy which waJ 1 to involve historians, college professors and artists. But such a controversy has developI ed over the railroad’s choice of blue , and buff as color representations of 1 the uniforms worn by the Minute i i Men. I I The locomotives selected for coat-I ings of blue and buff were those attached to the road's crack trains which pass daily through those historic fields where the Minute Men battled the British a century and a half ago. I | The state of Massachusetts, Sons of, th e Revolution, and the New England I Council had long looked upon blue I and buff as the uniform colors of the ' Minute Men. but the current divergI ence of opinion has revealed that the first official color combination of the 1 Continental forces was blue and white. After various authorities had ex- , pressed their view’s, railroad official announced that blue and buff had I been chosen to typify the Minute | ! Men only after exhaustive research, ' and indicated the locomotive would •continue to sport that combination of ■ colors. 1 --o Short Skirts, Rouge Are Banned By School j Cleveland, Oct. 3 — Abbreviated! skirts, rolled stockings, lip-stick, rouge > high heels, and even ear-rings and I powder puffs are banded at Cleveland Heights high school —by the students themselves.

military pc,sition he held at the time ' of the Kaiser’s ill-fated declaration of war. His record during that world conflict is now a matter for the historians. Thousands of German soldiers went to their deaths with his name on their lips. Civilians cheered him at his every public appearance. Even in the inevitable defeat which he met, Von Hindenberg was, and still is, the idol of Germany. In peace, however, the old warhorse reached his greatest heights. Two years ago, he was elected president at a time when local factions scorned the reactionary element I

Hermit Sisters Keep Shutters On Residence Closed For 25 Years Winamac, Ind., Oct. 3—(INS) —For the first time in twenty-five years, the shutters on the home of Mrs. Josephine Seidel, 88, aged recluse, and her sister. Miss Kate Schaffer, were opened when Mrs. Seidel died. For twenty-five years the sisters lived by themselves, seldom seeing neighbors, except when they went out to obtain the necessary food, or to do errands, connected with their •quiet existence. Neighbors were never given a peep into the inside of the house, and the ! only sunlight that entered the dwelling came tjyough the narrowed slats that helped shut the two women off from the world. | When Mrs. Seidel’s funeral was held, however, the shutters were opened. o MONROE NEWS Rev.

Sees Movie Royalties As Curse To Writers Cleveland, O. — (UP) —Motion picture royalties are the curse of American fiction writers, according to Jay William Hudson, author and professor of philosophy at the University of Missouri. Hudson, during a visit in Cleveland, deprecated the tendency of modern writers to “sacrifice their talent on catchy plots and dreams of motion picture royaliies that may never materialize.” "Many a good storV has been ruined because of an author’s hopes for success in the motion picture field,” Hudson said. “Sensational novels and intricate plots may make good movie material but they very seldotn add to the prestige of American liter- . ature.” f Hudson’s best known book is “Abbe Pierre,” now in its twelfth edition.

Had Six Years of Stomach Agony Now She Eats Anything, Sleeps Soundly and Gaining Weight. “I had severe stomach and bowel trouble for over six years. Had dizzy spells and at times would have fallen if I had not had something to hold to. Was awfully nervous, had gas on my stomach most all the time, severe cramps and agonizing pains. I felt like I was raw from the bottom of my stomach clear up to my throat, and I had to take soda all the time. My first and only relief came from Viuna. After the second dose I could feel it was helping me. After the second bottle all the gas, cramps, etc., disappeared for good, and now I can eat anything without one bit of fear.

Gas®line Eu©w Priced ‘•Despite that domestic cons imption has multiplied by more than nine since 1913, gasoline makes a strong claim to tie. by comparison with the general price level, our cheapest tom* » mudity of general and eatended use.” “Taking 100 as the 1913 index figure for commodity prices, the 1926 index figure was 151, according to the U. S. Department of Labor statistics. That is, there has been an average advance of 51 per cent. Various groups, however, have been variously affected.” “... Then the ratio of increase tapers off, until at the bottom we find gasoline, its index figure 118.1.” "That is, while the index figure of all commodities advanced 51 points, and while some important groups advanced over 100. gasoline gained only 18 pointe.” THE paragraphs quoted are from an article by Judson C. WelHver appearing in the August issue of the American Review of Reviews. This unique record of the petroleum industry stands as a tribute to science and efficiency. In making gasoline the least expensive of commodities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has done its share. Improved methods and processes have been developed in its scientific laboratories. Waste has been eliminated and efficiency promoted by its constant search for improvements. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) exists to serve the people of the Middle West and it has ni* er wavered from that purpose. This faithfulness to an abiding ideal has earned for it the confidence of those whom it serves. Every day gasoline of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) fuels millions of cars. The motonst is confident that the gasoline which flows into his tank from a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) pump will “deliver the goods” because it always is uniform in quality. He has learned to trust the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) for he has found its name a guarantee of quality. Ile knows that every gallon of gasoline it sells must carry on its reputation for integrity. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has helped . to make gasoline not only one of the lowest priced commodities, as Mr. Welliver has shown it to be, but one of the most dependable as well. Dependability is important, for gasoline—unlike most commodities —is mysterious to the average man, revealing little by its appearance. No one can tell how it will work in a car by looking at-it. But everyone knows how it will work in a car if it is the product of the Standard Oil Company • (Indiana). The interest and responsibility of this C ompany does not stop with the sale of the gasoline. I It is a part of the service of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to provide the people of the Middle West with gasoline whose performance they can depend upon —at the lowest possible price.
