HALF-HOLIDAY ASKED TO HONOR G. A. R. VETERANS 1 Proposal Made to Executives and School Head for Sept. 28. Proposals have been made to Governor Warren T. McCray, Mayor Charles W. Jewett and E. U. Graff, superintendent of the Indianapolis public schools, by W. A. Ketcham, commander-in-chief of the G. A. K., and John B. Reynolds, secretary of the executive encampment committee, that a general half-holiday be declared on the afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 28, in honor of the veterans of the Civil War attending the fifty-fifth national encampment of the G. A. R. that week and who will have their annual parade on that afternoon. It was pointed out by Mr. Reynolds, in his letter suggesting that Captain Ketch im's proposal be approved, that this is the last time that the people of Indianapolis will have the opportunity to honor the Civil War veterans at a national encampment. ADDRESSES LETTER TO GOVERNOR. In a letter addressed to Governor McCray Mr. Reynolds said: “For the fifth time Indianapolis has the privilege of entertaining the survivors of those great armies whose heroism brought us safely through the greatest peril that has ever threatened the Nation. It seems only fitting, therefore, that a special effort should be made on this occasion to impress upon the old soldiers the love and veneration with which they are regarded by the people of Indianapolis. “The city and B ate are interested particularly In the entertainment of the Grand Army because of the fact that they Jointly are bearing the expenses of the euoampment. For that reason I feel that you will be thoroughly In sympathy with Captain Keteharu’s proposal that a half-holiday be declared for the afternoon of Sept. 28. It would be a fine tribute to our guests and 1 earnestly hope that you can see your way clear to gl e It the stamp of your approval.” WISH CHILDREN' ALONG LINE OF MARCH. The encampment committees arid Captain Ketcham are particular'y aestrous of having thousands of I ullanapolls school children along the Hue of march to greet the old soldiers and to see, In marching order, the remaining veterans of the great Union armies. A Joint meeting of the executive and general encampment committees has been called by Mr. Reynolds for 3 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce building at the request of Captain Ketcham to discuss the encampment program and arrangements. Captain Ketcham has requested every member of both committees to be present at the meeting.

ALIMONY AND SUPPORT PAY TO CLERK HEAVY (Continued From Page One.) defendants have been unable to meet their payments because of being without employment. Only this week. Judge T. J. Moll of Superior Court, Room 5, has Issued one attachment when tha divorced wife appeared and complained that her former husband had failed to make support payments for the care of herself and seven dependent children. In this case, the man had been order* 1 to pay S2O a week and in sixteen weeks he was delinquent for four weeks. This family is one of the largest on the support docket. A survey of the alimony and support records show that In one case one <ll voreed husband is paying In aa much os $225 a month 'or the support of the 11- ; voreed wife. In this case there are large : property rights and tha order was is- j sued by Judge I.inn Hay of Superior Court. Room 2. The woman had been active in aiding the husband build up tbe family fortune. According to Mr. Slpe, the alimony and support payments have developed into one of the biggest dut’e.s of the county clerk’s ofMce. In another part of the clerk's office, many men are making pay ments for support on orders of Judge Frank I.ahr of the Marlon County Juvenile Court. Those are In no way con- j nected with the alimony and divorce support payments. Last year nearly slls. 000 was paid In as support money to the clerk of the Juvenile Court. COMPELS FATHERS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN. Judge I.ahr has no hesitancy in compelling fathers to support their children both In the home or in public Institutions where delinquent and dependent children are taken on his orders. The evidence in Juvenile delinquent cases before the Judge shows that the children of divorced parents often appear in juvenile c n ri on incorrigible charges and ever! of a more serious nature, such as petit larceny. It !s interesting to note the attitude of divorced women when they appear personally at the ofTice of the county clerk to obtain their support and alimony payments. Some women clearly snow tho strain of the struggle to keep their fain lly together. Many take in washings, others do clerical work and many clerk In stores or do domestic work. The woman who is compelled to do physical labor to keep her children appreciates the value of the support payments. In some other cases, where the alimony

settlements are large, the women appear to .enjoy accepting the money only because it is “working a hardship” on the divorced husband. Some women appear even revengeful and complain that the allowance is not larger. Some husbands often “grumble” over being compelled to make the support payments and others have been heard to express satisfaction that they are “glad, to get rid of” their wives so cheaply. SOME PREFER JAIL TO MAKING PAYMENTS. The court records show that in some rare cases the husband has preferred going to Jail Instead of meeting the payments. This is rare, but the records contain several examples. In these cases the husbands complain of the extreme extravagance of their wives. The records show that In some instances a divorced husband Is paying In money as support for his children after the wife hus remarried. The first husband often expresses the idea that he feels he should not be compelled to support Ills children after his former wife remarries. The courts and the statutes have different views, however. The law and the courts contend that all fathers must support their minor children. In cases where the divorced wife has remarried, there Is generally much controversy over the husband paying support money for his children. This often results in contempt proceedings b.elng filed to compel the former husband to continue the payments for the support of his children. There is not a judge on the local county bench who will allow his support orders to be violated. ALIMONY COUNTER SADDEST SPOT. It Is depressing to bear the stories told by the divorced wife who Is compelled to do manual labor to support her children. The alimony counter Is the saddest spot in the courthouse, and It Is there one can study to best advantage the real evils of divorce. Hundreds of lives have been wrecked or made miserable by the evils of divorce. Recently several divorced women, who are mothers, have been heard to state that their children will not have sufficient clothing and shoes to wear to school unless the -Uvorced husband makes his payments on time. The telephones are busy every hour of the day In the county clerk's office because divorced wives call tip to inquire If their former hi sbands have made payments . Mr. Slpe Is compelled to keep a large deputy force to render a service of information and to handle the large sums of money paid into his office as support and alimony. On making payments, the divorced husband receives a receipt and the divorced wife slgnß the support record on obtaining the money. In this way any unpleasantness Is avoided by former hus band and wives meeting personally. The big lesson Is that the local county Judges compel divorced futhers to support and support well their children althougn they are not living with them.

SAFES FOIL 3 DARING YEGGS Robbers Fail to Open Strong Boxes at Murat and Ohio Theaters. A gang of three daring thugs who were far more bold than successful In their attempts to break open safes at the Murat and Ohio theaters, early Sun day morning, escaped and the police have almost no clew to their identity. As safe breakers they were amateurs. As “strong arm” men they were experts. | The first attempt was made at the Murat Theater at 4 a. m. One man remained in an automobile near the theater while the other two entered. They wore handkerchiefs over their faces. William Garr, negro, 24 North Liberty street, night watchman, was tied with a heavy rope to a seat. Then the burglars knocked the knobs off of the safe and worked for an hour without being able to open It. Becoming tired of working on the safe the robbers took a box containing receipts from n candy stand operated by Harry Itosna. le, assistant treasurer of the theater. Vhe box was broken open and the thieves obtained $225 for their trouble. The burglars then drove to the Ohio Theater, 42 West Ohio street, and forced Theodore Motley, negro, and his sister, Mrs. Lesite Kelly. 810V6 North Talbott avenne, Into a closet. The two were fastened to a chair with wire. The yeggmen theu tried to force the safe, but when they failed they disappeared before the police were notified. Garr worked himself loose from the chair and notified the police. He said | a man came to the door and said, “It's J Harry, open the door, I want in.” Garr ! thought It was Rosnagle and opened the i door. i Motley and his sister were cleaning the theater when the two masked robbers armed with automatic pistols entered. COMEBACK IN AGRICULTURE SEEN IN lOWA (Contlnoed From Page One.) . National Biscuit Company, the pitta j burgh-Des Moines Steel Company, the j Hawkeye Portland Cement works, various toilet preparation making concerns, a woolen mill and skirt factory, large founj dries and furnace works, meat packing j plants, together with various big publish lng concerns, like Successful Farming, Wallace's Farmer and the Homestead | Printing Company. I The periodical publishing business at I Des Moines Is unusually big for a city of about 140,000 population in Its ruetro- ; polltan ar^a. BUSINESS CONC ERNS ARE DOING WELL. j T be principal houses of distribution for j city and country are doing pretty well, better In fact than generally supposed by i the people of Des Moines. Here la an II lustration- In July. 1918, one of the largest department stores made 137,-196 sales; In July. 1913, 155.074; In July. 1920. 143,784, and in July. 1921. 162.099. This means a 12 per cent increase in vol ume over last year. But there also was a 12 per cent smaller gross return In money from the enlarged business. An other big department store reported It had sold more In volume than last year with a decrease In dollars. Its Increase In freight and express charges the first half of the year over last year was 68 per cent. The Harris Emery Company reports Increased sales In many lines Their sales of silk sweaters are particularly large. They look for no recession in cottons or woolens The shelves of the countrv. they say, have little stock on them. Recorders of popular price merchandise will continue Mr. Nate Frenkel, of this house, ssld he put up a warehouse a few years ago to hold his goods. Now he would like to sell It. Buying by mer chandlsers. he said, would not bo Indiscriminate and wild as a few years back, but the volume would be great. SLIGHT DECLINE IN UNEMPLOYMENT. Unemployment, here, as elsewhere visRed. shows a slight but steady decline through tho months from early In the year. Ravings banks deposits are excel lent. Reports from the life Insurance eompantoa (this W a great Insurance een terl are good. Senator T. E. Ressna of Grlnnell says the lowa farmer will have to market his 1922 crop before be is clear financially. No one doubts his solvency, but It Is difficult to pi*v the silk shirt period debt with the present low price farm product. He estimates $250,000,000 was taken from the farmer by speculators. Those who bought land even at too high price got something. These who bought oil shares got nothing. The farmers will not make tbe same mistake again In a hurry. John Cavanagli, one of the leading bankers of lows, expressed the opinion that we had turned the corner. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Luther Dunlap, 18. 1416 Ward street, St. Louis, Mo., who was trapped by a vigilance committee today after he was said to have attacked two girls early Sunday, confessed to the police today that he had entered two residences.

The negro threatened to “get rough,” they said, when first stopped but when he saw so many determined men, he surrendeded. A large knife was found in his pocket, it is said.
