Oct. s.—Chicago is no longer a “1 o'clock town.” A police ruling that all restaurants and cases must close at 1 o’clock was east into the discard by a decision of the Appellate Court that the city has no power to license restaurants. Officials Interpret this decision as denying also the city's power to regulate restaurants. Besiiles permitting restaurants snd cases to remain open all night, the decision also deprives the city of approximately SIOO,OOO annually in revenue derived from licenses. Th# decision of the court was given in the com of the estate of James Coloslino against the city of Chicago. The license of Colosimo’s restaurant was revoked by Mayor Thompson.

ALLEGED WOMAN BLUEBEARD TO -cjiIGHT WITNESS Attorneys Seek to Bar Testimony Relating to Death of Four Others. TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Oct. 5.—A bitter fight to exclude from the present trial any testimony having reference to the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Ihe throe former husbands and a brother-in-law of Mrs. Lyda Southard, on trial for the murder of Edward F. Meyer, her fourth husband, loomed today. The fight Is expected to break when Deputy Sheriff V. 11. Ortusby takes tho stand as a witness for the State. Ormsby, who made the chief investigation that reI suited in the filing of the murder charge against Mrs. Southard, is regarded as the State's most important witness. He is expected to take the stand some time today or tomorrow. c Mrs. Southard, in the Information on which she Is now being tried, is charged only with the murder of Meyer. It is the contention of thb State, however, that ' her former husbands died of arsenic i poisoning which it Is claimed was the , cause of Meyer’s death. I Prosecuting Attorney Frank Stephan ; announced that an attempt would be made to introduce testimony re’ative to ; the manner in which Mrs. Southard's : other husband* met their deaths. The defense was prepared to contest vigorously this line of testimony. OH. THOSE EYES’ American women have the most beautiful eyes in the world, says a well known London photographer.

STRENGTH October Ist was pay day to our army of Savings Depositors who received dividends at the rate of 41% on their savings accounts. this rate with the rate of 3% (or e.ven 4%) and then figure for yourself just how inuch you gain by opening an account with this well known and strong institution. simple interest alone, the difference between a 4 1 /k% rate and a 3% rate is $1.50 on SIOO per v%ar, or $15.00 on SI,OOO per year. We started to pay 4i/ 2 % on savings in October, 1919, because we anticipated a world wide famine in the money market. Many were our critics, but we were right and our judgment in the matter has been more than realized. We purchased LIBERTY BONDS and United States Treasury Certificates and today we have in excess of $1,110,000 of these wonderful securities on hand, which have steadily risen in value, and are today worth approximately $30,000 more than we paid for them. W r e also own First Mortgage Railroad Bonds that have also shown a wonderful increase in value since purchased by us. Besides, we own many thousands of dollars of • INDIANA MUNICIPAL BONDS, SCHOOL BONDS, ROAD BONDS AND FIRST MORTGAGE SECURITIES ON REAL ESTATE that net us from 6% to 7%. This makes it possible for us to pay 4V 2 % on savings. Look over our STATEMENT published on September 6tli at the call of the Banking Commissioner.

Our Advisory Board, which selects these investments, is composed of men who know their business thoroughly, and possess among the keenest minds in the investment field today. Our savings deposits are protected by Liberty Bonds, United States Treasury Certificates, First Mortgage real estate securities on Indianapolis property, and other securities of similar character.
