Preliminary efforts I were made by defense attorney's to j impeach the testimony of the girl's father. This morning the state called the girl’s mother to the stand to further substantiate the girl’s story'. She I told of the girl's complaining of the a'leged attack. She also stated that : Hirschey had admitted being inti- ' mate with the girl. The court house has been crowd- ! ed during the first three days of the trial, with about as many women present as men. All seats were | filled Tuesday, and spectators stood j lining the walls. At one time TuesI day afternoon when defens? attorneys were required to consult another witness, it was necessary to Itaike the chair from the defendant, who sat on the floor. Today, spectators from the couni try brought their lunches and ate [ them in the court room, this noon. It was believed today that the tesi timony could not be completed by I Thursday afternoon and that it was [unlikely that the case wculd be [given to the jury before Friday. Dr. R. E. Daniels, of this city, j was the fourth witness called by the state to testify regarding the condition of the alleged victim ' when brought to him for examination. The doctor testified that in I his opinion the girl had been ravI (shed, and within two weeks of the , time examination was made. He was firm in answering cross- [ examination, that the girl was, in 'his opinion, the victim of an attack and not of self perversion. He also j testified that, in his opinion, it was possible for a girl of nine to be ravished by a man of approximately 40 years her senior, which was deemed one of the most important points scored by the state in its efforts to send the alleged rapist to prison for life. —o Diving Loon Hooked Delmar, Del. —itU.Rl —Mrs. Sewell I H.

tajSgMfcfK' l * J' But don’t let it WORRY YOU. Get this Fast-Starting, LUBRICATING GASOLINE Rust and corrosion are real . winter menaces. They attack unprotected upper motor parts. They cause loss of power; they lower your "mileage”; they slow up starting. But you can protect your motor simply and easily this winter.... Switch to Tydol, the lubricating gasoline. Every gallon contains a special top-cyl-inder oil that constantly lubricates and protects valves,pistons and upper-cyl-inders. The “Cold Sweat’’, the water that every motor creates, is foiled in its rusty, corrosive work by a waterproof film of oil. Your motor deserves this extra Tydol service. • The next cold morning you start your motor, hot vapors will strike cold metal. Condensation will take place. You will see clouds of steam and drops of water pour out of the exhaust. That's “Cold Sweat’’! You only see it.. . but your motor feels it. You can measure in a drinking glass the water that accumulates from “Cold Sweat” outside your motor. But inside your motor, this water, unless checked, rusts and corrodes valves and other vital parts. ELBERSON Service Station Decatur, Ind. C<w ml k> Tld, Water Axurlited on l
