A Chicagoan by birth, Ziggy, as he was affectionately known to millions all over the world, first came into the limelight at the close of the last century as manager of Sandow, the celebrated strong man. His first stage production was a presentation of the revived farce "The Parlor Match,*' in which he presented Anna Held, whom he later married, to the American public. After that his climb to the top was rapid, un> ~ retarded by failures. A believer in the gospel that the public is always willing to see beautiful women, be combed the entire world for the personnel that made up his productions. Many girls whom he glorified had brief stage careers, forsaking the footlights to marry millionaires who haunted Ziegfeld’s "Follies** in search • f beauty. But many others took advantage of the start given them by the great glorifier and continued a stage career until they reached the peak of the profession. Among the latter group are such celebrated names as Marion Davies, Marilyn Miller, Louia? Brooks and Billie Dove, all of whom won fame and fortune on the stage and screen. Ziegfeld married a second time in 1914, climaxing his romance with Billie B»* -e, a atag€ star in bar own ri.ht. She now survives him. They have one daughter, Patricia, whs is iitteea.

New York.—The death of F'.orenz Ziegfeld, famous musical comedy hnpressario, at Hollywood. Cal., deprives the American stage of onp . of its most colorful and picturesque . characters. Not only his own be- , loved Broadway, but the entire unii verse of thespis will feel the loss . cf the man who proved a veritable Reck of Gibraltar to the stage dur- , ing the storm of depression. Ziegfeld was known and renowned all the world over as the supreme authority on feminine pulchritude and the number of lovely women whom he lifted to fame and fortune is legion — among them some names that are forever en shrined in the evergreen laurels of' , fame in the theatre world. Born in Chiicago in IS6B. Florenz Ziegfeld came of a musical family, his father* who bore the same name, having been the founder of the Chicago Musical College, which he built up to 7.000 members. Previous to striking out for him-1 se’f, young Flo had been business, manager for this col'ege. but he craved action a bit further from home, so he went to Europe and signed orchestras to play in Chicago during the World’s Fair. But the fair provided too much competition for Ziegfeld’s venture and his project was a failure. He first acquired a measure of: eminence as the man who made a ■ success of Eugene Sandow, the celebrated strong man. Loosing 1 an inspiring publicity campaign, he, made it appear fashionable and I cd largely by that proposal in the majority finding. The majority report has the support of Bush. "This plan relieves local road levies." Bush said, “and that is one ot the purposes of this session." The house yesterday voted to reconsider the relief measure it postponed indefinitely earlier in the day. John T. Bold. Dem.. Evansville, who led opposition to the bill originally, made the motion for reconsideration. A house revenue measure went forward when tne ways and means committee by a majority report ■ passed to second reading the Crawford proposal for an income tax. The tax would range from 1 per cent on the first SI,OOO to 4 per cent on all incomes over SIO,OOO. The new bills were passed by the] house. One would transfer $3,737, illegally collected for auto licenses I in 1931, to the state general fund, - and the other would extend from one year to five years the time for payment of county and township poor relief bonds. Democratic house leaders agreed at a conference last evening to sup- ’ port the Crawford budget slash bill, on the basis of a 15 per cent In-, stead of a 20 per cent cut, effecting savings estimated at $1,600,000. The conference, attended by R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chair--1 man. was held in the office of Speaker Walter Myers. A house hill seeking to form a state purchasing board was defeated 66 to 22.

:! proper for society leaders to visit ■; Sandow backstage and feel his tre- ! mendour. muscles. That was in Chi- ■|< go. and the big city of New York ■; beckoned to young Flo. He came ■ | with Sandow, he saw and he conI quered. The pair toured the nation i and prosperity smiled. 11 Ziegfeld’s real start in the theat- • j rical business began when he teamied up with Charges Evans in the o’d Herald Square Theatre in New ' York. Purchasing the rights to an old farce, "The Parlor Match." he ! went abroad in search of fresh tailent. While in London, he heard a piquant young French girl sing "Won’t You Come and Play With Me?" He signed her for his New York show. She was an immediate success and Ziegfeld married her. She was Anna Held, the toast of the play goers for thirty years ago. j She was divorced from the impress- ! ario later and died in 1918 of pneumonia in the middle west. Since his first hit with "The Parlor Match," Ziegfeld’s climb to the top was rapid and uninterrupted by I failure. The number of successes he produced for the delectation of (the American public during his 'thirty-six years of stage association would require a catalogue to list. A I few of his outstanding lyts are ["Kid Boots," "Rio Rita," “Show i Boat,’ "Whoopee." Ziegfeld was the world’s greatest disciple of publicity. He regarded I it as the life-blood of the theatre ■ and credited his great success to I his faculty of having his shows and

CARRY CASE TO STATE BOARD Erie Railroad Petitions Commission to Dispense Watchman Here Indianapolis, Jnly 27 - -(U.R)— A | petition to have flasher signals at i five railroad crossings in Deeatur | declared "ample safety" was filed with the public service commission by the Erie railroad today. Thff petition seeks to have the commission set aside an ordinance by the Decatur council which de-' manded placing of watchmen at the crossings as well as the signals. The Erie at present maintains a dual system of guarding the i Winchester street crossing. The ! council has refused to comply with’ the railroad's request to dispense the watchman at this point. 0 EVICTION OF ARMY FAILS CONTINUED EROM PAGE ONE climax to the government's at- ! tempts to get the veteians out of the r mshackle buildings left the i next move U'P to the treasury, which j thus far has been unsuccessful in i finding an agency to enforce its j decrees. Glassford appeared on the scene ' at the time when police had been expected to begin clearing out the buildings and arresting all who ; resisted. “I have no orders to clear these grounds" Glassford said, "My last I instructions were that there would be no razing of the buildings until certain legal requirements had been | met. So far as the police are concerned. it’s all off for the present." GJ ssford departed, taking with him the 54 police reserves stationed at the Bonus Army settlement. Walter W. Wate:s, commanding tihe bonus army, had instructed his men to sit in the billits and not to I move unless arrested by police or evicted bodily. Waters had told the veterans to offer no resistance, • but his instructions were unnecess-1 ary as no show of force developed. 1

Cloverleaf Creameries H IT DOES SEEM AS though ' summer is just one round of parties and social gatherings of one kind and another, doesn't it? And it just keeps one busy thinking of something new and different to Jk serve — so next time you have the bridge club at your house. ’ why not serve ice ’fcHF cream sandwiches. Have y* your favorite cake, and phone 50 or 51 and ask the Cloverleaf Creamery to deliver a tasty brick of your favorite ice-cream. Cut your cake in sliced about half an inch thick and then between two slices of cake put a slice of icecream. Your party will be remembered for it's refreshments. S. E. Black I KNOW A MAN who was sent on a business mission into a certain section of our United States, a section that does not have the opportunities you people have here in • Decatur. He spent several weeks in that territory and during that time, he attended a funeral. He /V has told me since that he was amazed at the utter lack of organ i z a t i o n shown in the conduct of the services. “I came back home,” he says, “with a much higher regard for our own funeral directors, and of the profession as a whole.” In short, he had taken expert funeral directing for granted and had never recognized the close attention to every detail that is required. You people here in the Decatur community are fortunate in that respect. You can depend upon the competent services of the S. E. Black Funeral Service when the hour of sorrow comes. Adams Theatre IT DOESN’T SEEM POSSIBLE that only two and three years ago we were enjoying our first GOOD "talkies,” does it? And just think of the development, the perfection that has been made in them since that ♦ time. The’Adams Theatre has the finerft. talking pictu r e equipment available, and if you watch your magazines and newspapers you surely know that Decatur people are enjoying the latest and best pictures of the year. The program this week includes some wonderful pictures — so don’t miss them.

Blue Creek Dairy BABIES THRIVE BETTER ON PASTEURIZED MILK. This was recently proved gga’n by Mr. George M. Oyster. Jr., of Washington who was giving milk to the babies of the poor. Twenty physicians cooperated with Mr. Oyster, prescribing the modifications of milk to be given each day. The physicians prescribed raw milk exclusively for 351 babies, pasteurized milk exclusively for 557 babies and for 110 I>ab>es both nastenr ized milk an d X U/r ra w milk was %MF prescribed at different times. • The group for whom raw milk exclusive was used, the average gain per baby, per day was .4030 ounces. The pasteurized milk exclusive group gained .4077 ounces per dav, per hahv—the average difference in favor of pasteurized milk amounting to .0047 ounces ner dav. per baby. The interchangeable group from raw to nssteurized milk gained .0295 of an ounce more per dav. per babv when nasteurized milk was used than when raw milk was used. Why? Ask your Doctor for his opinion. Phono 467 —the Blue Creek Dairy—for pasteurized milk.

Rice’s Hotel AS A GOOD MANY magazine advertisements would say, I have a case of “H. W. A.” Meaning "hot weather appetite.” You know the feeling: you don’t feel like eating much of anything, except some icp cold lemonade, and the more of that you drink, the more you want. But just the other day I found a sure cure for it at Rice’s Hotel Din- )(’ ing Room. Just listen to this: Pressed veal, potato chips, green lt?ans, vegetable salad, berries and home made cake, ice tea — doesn't that sound appetizing, even during this kind of weather? Just try Rice’s Hotel Dining Room. You’ll find a fine variety, served quickly and attractively. Pumphrey Jewelry Store HERE’S ANOTHER INTERESTING idea and one I hadn't thought of until I called in at the Pumphrey Jewelry Store--you're spending week ends with friends this summer — you're stopping off for a short visit while on a trip — do you write them when you return, home, ’ thanking for their tality? I an easier way to show your appre- JyfT* elation — take a V» piece of jewelry with you as a gift — let it be beads, a piece of costume jewelry, a vanity case—just some little thing that you know your hostess will like. Pumphrey’s Jewelry Store can supply any of those things. Riverside Super Service HERE IS A SUGGESTION that comes to me from a man who travels 25,000 milesa year. Every 10.000 miles or so he drives into a tire shop and has all his tires taken off and inspected. If anyone of them shows signs ’’ A of weakening, he either has it repaired, or he •‘ ■ trades in the ■ . whole set. That’s XBuBF just plain comYP mon sense, it y« seems to me. Some ot you Decatur drivers are no doubt planning a vacation trip — before you start, drive into the Riverside Super Service and let them inspect your tires. That little precaution might easily save you a lot of grief and expense.
