Shallenberger will personally demonstrate his method without charge at the Anthony Hotel, Fort Wayne, Thursday, May 27th from 10 a m. to 8 p.m. and Friday, May 28th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mr. Shallenberger says the Shallenberger method contracts | the opening in remarkable short , time on the average case, regardless of the size or location of rupture, and no matter how much you lift or strain, and puts you back to work the same day, as efficient as before you were ruptured. The Shallenberger rupture shield has no leg straps, waterproof. sanitary, practically indestructible and can be worn while bathing. Each shield is skillfully molded and fitted to the parts under heat which gives a perfect fit and satisfaction. Remember this: Any rupture is dangerous; that all large ruptures were once small; that neglect may result in invalidism and loss of earning power. Large and difficult ruptures following operations especially solicited. Do not overlook this opportunity if you want gratifying results. Indianapolis fitting by appointment only, 1733 N.

Prepare For Showdown Wilsonville, 111., May 26—01. R- - Rival groups prepared for a showdown today over tactics employed by the 360 sit-down strikers holding Superior Coal company's mine No. 4 and indirectly over issues involved in affiliating with the American Federation of Labor and the rival committee for industrial organization. One group-labelled conservative —openly condemned sit-down tacI tics; the other approved them. Their union, Progressive Miners of America, holds no charter either from the committe for industrial organization which has made widespread use of sit-down strikes or from the American Federation of Labor. Best orators of the rival groups were notified to be on hand for tonight's mass meeting at which principal speaker will be Joe Ozanic, Illinois P. M. A. president who lias been in Cincinnati seeking an A. F. of L. charter while C. I. O. representatives were circulating among strikers here. The company meantime appear- ' ed to resign itself to a long siege. It shut off ventilating fans in mine No. 3 at Mt. Clare, announced that even afteV ventilation was resumed four days would be required to restore safe working conditions. Ventilating, lighting and pumping systems remained in operation in the strikers’ pit 310 feet underground. Mine No. 3 was shut down last week to avoid spread of the strike there. Mines No. 1 at Eagerville and No. 2 at Sawyerville had been shutdown previously to permit installation of new equipment which strikers complain will reduce their annual income. Strikers demand principally a contract with the company eliminating the 30-day period presently provided in which employers may distribute available work among workers dis-em-ployed by shutdowns. President Fred Pfahler returned to his Chicago office, still in- ; sistent that no settlement would I be made while strikers remained in their mine. Strikers said they would not leave until an agree- , ment is signed. Strikers meantime enlisted aid of their children in demonstrating for the strike. Two hundred

Perkins Testifies Washington, May 26. — i(U.R> — ' Secretary of Labor Frances Perk-1 .j ins informed congress today that .' she favored specific wage and hour | treatment for major industries as ' , i a corollary to the president’s gen- .' eral wage-hour program. . | Testifying before a house labor . ] sub-committee she urged speedy ; action on the administration bill. "And then we should provide j separate standards for specific industries — standards, however, not ) in violation of the basic principles i of the original act,” she said. Miss Perkins' statement coincided with intimations from administration sources that caution in preparation of the final draft of the wage-hours measure was desirable in order to avoid pitfalls; which led to the end of the NRA. | At the same time Secretary of | Commerce Daniel C. Roper ex j pressed the opinion that "good i business" would support the presi- ,) dent’s new proposal. He said his' ! business advisory council probab'ly would study the wage hours situation in connection with the | proposed new bill. Miss Perkins’ statement came as she testified in favor of the Ellenbogen bill for a "little NRA” for the textile industry. She made i clear her support was for the principle of the measure rather than j for its specific provisions. o Ford Motor Company Increases Surplus Boston.

HUMAN EARS TO BE IMPORTED Chinese Ears To Be Im ported For Research Work Washington, May 26—(UP)—The bureau of customs today authorized importation of half a dozen hu ) man ears from China. This means no relaxation of the immigration laws. The owners can't 1 come along with their ears. They must remain in China while their ' carefully wrapped and refrigerated 1 ears make the long journey to Indianapolis, Ind., ' There they will be used by a i pharmaceutical house for experiments .In plastic surgery technique, as developed by a Chinese savanL He said he needed six ears of his countrymen to continue his work. He also arranged to get the ears. The customs bureau never did learn ' how. Whether these ears still are being worn, or whether they already have been unattached and packed for shipment, is something etse the customs bureau didn’t discover. The bureau is a little weary of the ear problem. It has had an ear full. The questions were these: Is It legal to import three pairs of Chinese ears without the usual Chinese joined thereto? If so, how much is the duty? The collector of customs at San Rrancisco. to whom these inqquiries first went, tugged at his own ear.

Tile customs bureau ptioned Dr. Thomas Parran, chief of the bureau of 'public health, and asked him it he had any objections to six Chinese' ears (minus Chinese) being import-! ed. He said he didn't. Then the bureau called the postoffice department. “Ears?” asked i the poetofficers. "Yeah, ears", replied the customs bureau, wearily.' "Chinese ears. Any objections to | them being imported?” The postoffice department said it didn’t m-Ind, either, but by all! the ears in China, it was not going! to carry any ears In themails.
