When the late George Washington Hill inaugurated his advertising program a score of years ago. he not only created an American habit, but revolutionised the cigarette business. The state collected nearly 512.500,000 In taxes from smokers for the same period. o o The gross income tax Is Indiana's biggest revenue producer, (collections for the fiscal year ending June 30. totaling 872,714,922 51, an increase of |7.5<t0.000 over a year ago. That is a lot of money, but the surprising fact In the tax survey is that 1,558,515 persons contributed to the total. There are that many people in the state with incomes above 11.000 annually, which reflects a pretty good financial condition o o Aalaltama is warring on the Ku Klux Klan A bill forbidding the wearing of masks has been passed almost unanimously by the legislature, and revocation of the Klan's charter is under consideration Citisens have found that mob violence is endangering the Mate. Alabama is learning what Chicago learned In the days of Al Capone and his fellow racketeers. The gangsters began by preying op small business men, and were rapidly extending their operations of taking a prohibitive toll of all business which might end in the destruction of all legitimate business. In Alabama, as well as In Chicago, hoodlums and gangsters if unchecked could become the real ruiers of the community. The time to stop a revolutionary movement like this Is in its Infancy.

Penicillin Comes to the Rescue

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. THU discovery of penicillin Just a few years mo marked the l>eglnning of a new era in medicine .Many Infections which bad previously left the best of doctors helpless are today quickly and often. easily controlled by one of these wonder drugs. Nowhere is the difference penicillin has made more marked than In a disorder known as subacute I arterial endocarditis. In which the valves of the heart are attacked by Streptococcus germs. Formerly,thia disease was W percent fatal. Nowadays. thanks to penicillin, as shown by Dr. Leo Loewe, of New York City, a large percentage of these patients recover Early symptoms include tiredness, weakness, fever, chilling sensations and sweeting most frequently at night Coughing and pain in the *ointa complaints Later in the course of this Illness small bits of material break off from the affected heart calves snd sre carried to various parts of the body, thus causing such symp tors as sore Hagers and toes, and hemorrhage Into the back part of the eyeball If sack symptoms occur, it Is important that the diagnosis he con firmed by a culture of the blood This is also accessary In order to identify the jerms producing the rend it ios The sensitivity of these punas to penicillin caa also bo dothus aiding la deciding ■kjo* much penicillin should

Persons who planned their Canadian vacation for this week, must have believed the weather predictions of the Rushville forecaster Coal miners have gone on a threoday work week while contract negotiations go on with the mine operators. One of the tea- - tores the United Mine Workers want in the new contracts is a provision which would set up a three-day weekly working schedule whenever that might be considered desirable to "stabilize the market. What the mine union seems to have in mind, is the avoidance of substantial aboveground stocks of coal which might depress prices or modify the nationwide Hfect of a strike In many minds there Is a question of the legality of the move. If the mine operators should be Involved in a deal to reduce production they would probably gel a quick visit from the antitrust section of the Department of Justice. o—o Great Britain Is having more financial troubles with the sinking of the value of the pound sterling and has ordered a drastic cut in all out of country purchases. In other words it Is running short of money, an experience which individuals may know about. While England's situation seems repetitious of its plight back in the late thirties, our Secretary of State Dean Acheson, has a sensible answer for the step. "When your income falls off. your buying falls off. too.” said the statesman. This country Is so J closely tied to world economic I conditions, that any breakdown | of the financial structure or cur- , tailment in business in Europe or Asia, directly affects the United States, authorities point out. Great Britain may be going through a valiant struggle to keep its head up o—o 0 —o t If the state can collect more than 72 million dollars a year in gross Income taxes, why wouldn't it be simpler to repeal all real estate and property taxes and get our governmental revonuc from that source. The rates would have to be stepped up of course, but the expense of assessing personal property and reappraising real estate, plus the expense of collecting property taxes, would be saved. Right now Indiana is In'the midst of reappraising real estate and large amounts of niiitK y will be spent for the work Even after the task is cone pleted, there will be Inequalities of values, and as a result some will pay more than their equal share of taxes. However, to make such a switch in the state's tax system would require an amendment to the Indiana constitution.

be used in the treatment, and « hether or not It may Im necessary to employ sulfonamide drugs with the penicillin. The treatment with penicillin must !><• thorough and enough of the penicillin administered. A minimum of 100,000 units every three hours is given by injection into a muscle At least <OO.OOO units, ‘and often much more, should be given «ach 21 hours. In this disease, it would appear that the treat method of administration is by injection into a hiuscle. Persons who have damaged heart valves should make sure that any Infections in the teeth, tonsils. 'Sinuses or elsewhere in the body are promptly taken care of. and such patients should be treated with the penicillin or sqlfona mide preparations before, during and after these infections are treated by surgery. By so doing, subacute bacterial endocarditis may often be avoided. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS J.

To waste a little time, he turned oil the main street into the narrow, cobbled alleyway that ran behind the houses. A few stubborn young trees shook their pale foliage clotishly over the gray clapboard fences. Though many of the windows were open and curtains were fanning out in the light wind, the narrow-backed houses still looked half asleep. The Barlow house was third from the end. He picked out Katherine's windows. They, too, were flung up and the pink geraniums were rakishly veiled with white dimity. If she should lean out and call to him, "Have you ' come back for me ?’’ how would he ever be able to say goodbye. That one visit alone together had given her a hold upon him. He tried the door to the back yard. It was latched. He heard Annie’s cheerful voice as she came out into the yard, singing "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true." She sloshed water over the brick Steps, then he heard the kitchen 1 door slam behind her. His eyes ir traveled upward again to the seci ond floor. The red velvet curtains in the library were partly drawn. f It Proctor were standing by the window and saw him liotering in the alley, would he bar the front ! ’ door against him in remembered 9 anger of last night? There was no • one looking out, but so sharp was i his fear that he might not have it this goodbye with her, that he t hastened back to Commonwealth Avenue. » Annie was surprised to see him. She sniffed a little audibly around ! his shoulders as she took his cost. He caught her eye and whispered, "No evidence. Annie." She blushed. H "Mr. Barlow s gone, sir. Mrs. Bar--9 low is upstairs." “Oh ? I came to see my daught- ■ er. Is she about? I'll wait here." Marvcll admired Emily's efforts to t offset the Proctorian influence in • the reception room. It was play- , acting that he appreciated. Had his brother-in-law already gone off to Ben's office in the hope of erasing Elizabeth's whim from her will? That was a pity because • Proctor hated waste and waste it f would be. Emily entered breathlessly, her round little bosom rising up and ■ down in spite of the restraint of » her hand pressing against it. - “Good morning, Emily. I’ve come to say goodbye.- • “Have you already seen Proc • tor?- »! "Good Lord, no, unless he was t down on th. wharves this mom 1 r “

has he left for the office?" v,l She nodded, not speaking. "I'll see him later then. I want to see Katherine before 1 leave for New York. What do you say to my taking her to lunch?" He was eager to have her approve his suggestion; the idea had just suddenly occurred to him. But he saw her eyes were heavy with tears. "What’s the matter, Emily?" he asked gently. "It’s Katherine." "What’s the matter with her?” He could have shaken her till the tears fell out of those puffy blue eyes. "I am to get her ready. Oh, that dreadful letter. Proctor is badly hurt but he says he will do IL” “Do what?" he asked irritably. "Turn her over to you. If Elizabeth wanted it so much she had to beg for it, he insists you are to be responsible. She is to go with you today. Even her furniture.” Emily gave a little sob—the furniture added the final pathetic touch to her mind. Marvell almost laughed. He couldn’t make head or tail of this overwrought family. “Poor Kit," he said aloud, "to be pushed around so." "I thought naturally she would stay with us—l'd love to keep her here. She's like my own daughter, but everything’s changed." She looked at him, without tears now, slightly accusing. "The letter asked *to keep her as dose to her father as possible.*" The letter? He remembered It then, a square envelope that Ben had handed Proctor last night. "What else did the letter say?” He had broken a pathway between the stiffly arranged chairs and was walking back and forth. “I don’t know. I didn't read It He made up his mind last night 1 hardly slept at aIL I sent her off to school this morning—she was eager to go back-and I hoped she'd look upon it as s bad dream. She is going with you." Marvell pivoted around slowly. He would not let Emily see hi>. face for her words had taken the wind out of him. "Very well, humor him. Put enough for a few days in one beg. The Halls will take her for a night or two." God, Proctor was stupid—he'd never let her out of his hands; then why this cheap, childish gesture? "But the big things?" asked Emily in despair, her mind still on the pattern Proctor had laid down. "We’ll get everything in a few days if necessary. If you want the trouble of it, send them to a storehouse. When docs she return from school?" "Annie goes for her about elev-en-thirty." ’I U be back then. Where is Proctor now?" • Either at his office or with— Ben " She hesitated a bttle, take: aback by his cripness. He reiterated that he would be back on time and left her, slamming the front door as he went out. She watched him stride across to the Mall from the window. Suppose he should go off and over-imbibe; should she have sent for Katherine ■mmedistely ? She had great faith in the Maying power of children ever the outbursts of men. It would be dreadful if he came back at noon in “that condition."

Not that he was ever abusive or violent—he never was more than a slight waver, an exaggerated courtesy. He was more pathetic than anything else, she reflected. She straightened the chairs and sighed heavily as she went upstairs to pack. i t Who could doubt the sun’s power, the seeds’ growth, the trees’ immortality? But Marvell, walking down the sunny Mall, felt the promise of the morning fading at the peremptory touch of reality. He went to the nearest hotel and telephoned Ben. “Is Proctor igith you now?" J’ “Yea" ‘T "All right—l'll just ask questions Will you take Katherine for two or three days?" “Certainly." ' “I hope it won’t put Fanny out, but she is familiar with you both." “We shall be delighted." “I’ll drop her around after lunch, and get to your office about three." Marvel had been gripping the telephone so hard that his Angers were asleep. He rubbed them awake before putting in another call for Abbot He made an appointment for the next half hour. If he ran Into Proctor, so much the better. The flrm of Barlow and Abbot had been founded on John Barlow's exceptional ability as an engineer, his friend. Abbot’s caps- : city as an executive, and his wife's money in farm machinery. It bad been a happy combine. Mary Proctor Barlow had died suddenly when Elizabeth was two. Mr. Barlow, though he never forsook bis outer amiability, was deeply hurt in aide. And id a sen- I timental fashion, he thought Proctor’s guardianship of Elizabeth pretty and touching. When later he discovered It to have turned into a jealous poesessivenesa. he ingenuously believed that Marvell could preempt the safety of the future. He had liked Marvell immensely, recognized in him a vt- i tality that the family had tost with his wife's death. Nevertheless the ' overtones of convention forced him to side with Proctor. He had never Insisted on Marvell s joining the Arm. He had permitted Elizabeth to be a hostage to them both. He Loped, as so many people do as they grow old, that time will settle everything. As ts the minutes ticking away on every watch In the finite world -ould harness friend and enemy, mix light and dark, companion caution with bravado. Sometimes the young are wiser. It was thinking of old Bartow that caused Marvell, on the way to his appointment with Abbot, to buy a hat and have his shoes shined. He had atv-a/s liked the old man and he rvme.nbered how he’d warmed to him in the lonely desperation of their irst inter-view-desperate to Marvell because if he had not landed the small opening as draftsman he would have had to go on to New ' York and he had pretty much oa the th>n edge. He could pull him--1 self tn shape for this last breath, at any rate, and he wanted, *<m, to cut a figure with Kit at lunch. ’

CHAPTER TEN THIS final interview with Abbot seemed lonelier than the first in spite of all the spirit Marvell pui into IL He let on to Abbot, casually of course, that be bad a very good thing down in New York—he would have done the same to old Barlow that first time had it proved necessary—accepted his salary check graciously but grandly disdained to draw an expense account. Abbot had been cordial but uneasy. Marvell knew that he was not Abbot’s responsibility. He had been hired by old Bartow, scorned by Proctor, married by Elizabeth, and now be ought to have been dismissed by the family’s authority. For dismissal it was. they both knew that There had been other "dismissals" but be had always gotten back again. But now, with the death of his wife, there was no doubt that Abbot felt he would have to sever his connections with the flrm. On the impersonal side. Abbot judged him to be a brilliant if unsteady worker with a natural gift for dealing with men and an unnatural gift for taking risk* On the personal side, he had littie tn common with him and much in common with Proctor against him. And be paid his moral respects to the notion that if a man's domestic reputation was weak bis professional reputation suffered.

wondering, too, where afl these years had gone to— the fourteen i years since he bad first walked into the front office. But Abbot was getting more and more un- i easy over his delay and be could postpone his departure no longer. He stood tor a moment at the end of the long room where the draftsmen sat and raised bis hand tn a half-waye. He felt better for that, though only a half dozen of them turned their eyes. In the treeless sunshine of the down-town business street, Marvell hesitated in front ot a saloon. It was an inconspicuously dreary place, conspicuously empty at this time ot 4ay. The bartender was not one ot his regulars, be could see as he walked up to the dim, oily surfaced bar. He pulled tua new pat down over bis forehead and ordered a drink. It was aa good away to think as any be knew. First, be must straighten out Kit’s future with Procter. Play upon bis vanity, make mm see how invaluable he was to her. Give back the money and ask gen to nominate another executor—a bank, or Barlow and Abbot, it neeu be, to keep it close to the faintly. And then, as n final gesture, a tangible proof ot his intentions, have Proctor made Kit's legal guardian. Ben would know all the red-tape. That won’t be so bad, he thought with some relief, ordering a second drink. I'm the one who comes out on the short end. But it Is better that way. He thought of Elizabeth’s letter. She should have given him iMtructloiw, too. Perhaps she had been afraid to speak to him. She had always been afraid of Proctor and it WM Rk« her, poor dear, to stand up to him dead and not alive Ben hadn't been quite fair last night. Elizabeth, too, could have made tbs break. But why now? If 1 ean soothe Proetor’s i prtde, he thought, he'll spend the rest ot his life regretting this morning's hysteria and take double care of Kit to make it up. There's 1 no more self-rigfateous man in the world that that one. [ But be couldn’t leave Boston UH Kit was settled back in place. He'd 1 put off New York tor a couple of I days, and be must do something » quick about Doe, send him a wire ■ tonight He made a last effort to put himself tn Mehr's place—s suppose Proctor wouldn't take Kit ■ back?
