WINTER HERE, MARION ROADS IN FINE SHAPE i County Auditor Fesler Says They Are Best in Five Years. EXACT CONDITION GIVEN That Marlon County goes into. the winter with its roads In better condition than they hare been in the last five years, was the statement today of County Auditor Leo K. Fester. Because of the cool weather, concrete work has been suspended on all county roads, but the suspension of that work in no way lnterferred with the opening of all of the main approaches to the city Mr. Fesler stated. Work has been completed on all county roads with the exception of the Strange road, three miles east of Broad Ripple, which is about half completed, but open to the public. Work will be resumed there in the spring. The East Thirty-Eighth street road, between Warren and Lawrence Townships has not been completed. This is a gravel road and work will be continued until completed. CONDITION SHOWN BY FESLER. Mr. Fesler showed the condition of roads as follows: Pendleton pike, concrete, is open far .traffic. The Keystone avenue road is completed from the Millersville road to Ra- j venswood, with the exception of putting anew floor in the bridge, which will be •done later. The Northwestern avenue bridge is completed as far as traffic is concerned and the pavement to Maple Drive boulevard will be completed this week. This is a concrete road. The fill north of the bridge will not be completed until spring,, but it is open to traffic and in this way the detour on the Cold Spring road is eliminated. The Rockville Road from the city to the Hendricks County line, has been completed and is closed to traffic until the twenty-one day period for drying is up. It is a concrete road and will be open in a short time. CONNERSVILLE PIKE NOW OPEN*. The Shelbyvine Pike has been completed and has been open for some time. The National road is open for its entire ] course and the same is true with the: Madisonville road to Columbus. The Range Line road to Carmel is completed. “All main trunk lines into Indianapolis are now open to the public or will be in a few days,” Mr. Pesler stated. “We go into the winter with the roads in the best condition they have been for five years. People can come into Indianapolis when the Northwestern avenue road is open, without making a detour on any of the main trunk lines leading into the city. “It is true that we enter the new’ year with less road construction planned than usual, but the program will be enlarged If prices of materials come down,” he said. Mr. Fesler has on file a letter from Robert E. Springsteen, postmaster, expressing gratification at the condition of the r ads. LETTER OF MR. SPRINGSTEEN. Mr. Springsteen's letter is as follows: “In going over the reports of road conditions on rural routes from this office, with Mr. Cahill who has had that work in charge. I have been surprised and gratified to note that in so many places where It was impossible in past years to have roads placed in good condition by the township trustees, your highway superintendent, Mr. Rumford, with the aid of the road superintendents under his supervision, has been able to secure such splendid results. “In behalf of the patrons of our rural routes, who are direct beneficiaries of your program of good road building and maintenance, and also in behalf of the Postofflee Department, which is better enabled to give satisfactory service, I wish to thank you, and I trust that with the facilities at his command, Mr. Rumford will be able to have all of the roads traveled by our rural carriers placed in good condition before winter. “It will Interest you to know that of the 721 miles traveled in Marion County by rural carriers from this office, that approximately only twenty-five miles, or 3*4 per cent of the roads were reported as being in need of attention when checked up Monday, Nor. 7. When it is considered that only grading or repeated dragging of some of these roads is all that is requested, the desire of this office to have Marion County roads second to -none does not appear far from accomplishment. “I will be pleased to send Mr. Cahill at any time to point out to Mr. Rumford the roads I have mentioned above which are still in need of attention.” Betterments Planned for College Avenue An organization of about one hundred persons living in the vicinity of College avenue and Forty-Second street, to be called the Northeastern Improvement and uivie Association, met in the Calvin Prather lodge building last night and elected the following officers: A. W. Eberhardt 4007 Park avenue, president; Mrs. Roy Meyer, 611 East Fortieth street, vice president, and Sumner Clancey, 4198 Carrollton avenne, secretary and treasurer. The association plans to place a community Christmas tree at Forty-Second street and College avenue for Christmas Eve and to make a request for a branch public library in the neighborhood. A committee, including Mrs. F. L. Allen and Mr. Clancey, has been appointed to call on the proper officials to discuss the subject of the desired branch library. WILL BUILD SCREENING PLANT. A building permit for $72,000 has been Issued to the Citizens Gas Company for j preliminary construction on anew do- I mestic coke screening plant as an addi- I tion to the Prespect street plant of the j Company. It is explained by gas company officials that the permit is only for 1 preliminary work on the new domestic ] coke screening plant, and it has not I yet been decided Just how far the company will go with the building project.

Munday, former vice president of the La Salle Street Trust Company, was paroled today after serving eleven months of a three-year sentence. Munday was sent to prison for his part in wrecking the institution. Ho was associated with Senator I.orlmer. Following the bankruptcy of the La Salle Street Bank, nine other Institutions allied with the Munday-Lorimer interests went to the wall. Munday, once worth $3,000,000, is penniless now, according to Lorlmer. Indictments of Munday and his associates allege they looted the' institutions of $2.500,0<X> and violated many State hanking laws. Munday was sentenced by Judge Stough at Morris, 111.

Arms Conference Close Up:

By MARLEN E. PEW. iASHINGTON, Nov, 15. V-.-.--- 7V-> All the cableß are , (; ‘ ' , busy and the foreign delegates here' are anxiously sensing home ? wj. M* m ' government opinion. A ; Bj session of the confer- . enee is due for tomorrow afternoon, two Mrailfe days having been given 7 ■■£****■ f OT consideration of the startling naval armament limitation proposal of tho Government of the United States. For Great Britain, Mr. Balfour is popularly expected to say to Mr. Hughes: “My government accepts both the principle and the fact of your proposal.” Japan is expected to say: “Nippon accepts your very interesting proposal in principle and is delighted to discuss the detail?,. We must ask the kind indulgence of the conference in the matter of important discussions. Anew Cabinet Is forming at Tokio. The situation is somewhat awkward for the Japanese delegation as present. Discussion of the proposal seems in order.” Events are moving with amazing swiftness. The program has not been made public, but there seems no doubt that Mr. Hughes will lead the way to the formation of committees for study and tentative action upon the questions involved in the naval proposal, many of which are technical and must be referred to committees. Presently there will be another bombshell announcement upon the Far Eastern question. Political questions are so interwoven with the naval holiday scheme that there can be no such thing possible as the conclusion of one question at a time. At the end of the green table sit three yellow men, seemingly powerless in the deliberations, who represent nearly as many human beings as the other delegates combined. They are Chinamen and the outcome of these negotiations is supremely vital to them. However inconspicuous they may seem, they have powerful forces with them. The ghost of John Hay is hovering near their seats. Will there be a proposal for limitation of military armament, and will it come from Briand or Hughes? There is

vague speculation concerning this point. France has most at stake, possessing, as she does, the world's largest standing army. Briand says she doesn't enjoy this army; would be happy to limit it, but wants definite guarantees of protection. The French premier is a great figure in Washington. He is genial, rather easier to approach than other high dig uitaries. Marie De Montalve, one of your correspondents, addressed him in French on a subject of vast interest to women. Said she: “What do you think of our American women?” Said he: “I have had not the privilege of talking to many of them. But I have seen them —and American women are all beautiful. They amaze and charm me. One wonders how their beauty can be so unanimous, but it is.” If Briand has gained the premiership seven times in consent of men only, what height might he attain in America, where women have the vote? A feature of the conference Is the gay night spectacle, multi-colored lights playing on the arch of Jewels which was erected for the occasion near the PanAmerican building and a mighty fan of rays from searchlight forming a background to rthe Capitol dome. To date no complaint is heard concerning “open covenants openly arrived at.” Certainly the American proposal for a naval holiday came to the press uncensored, for the newspaper men received copies of the document identical to those presented to the delegates. Foreign censors may be at work, but the American people got tbe facts on that subject.

WILL DEDICATE LARGEST DAM AT HENDERSON Biggest Project of Its Kind Has Been Eleven Years in Building. COST ABOUT $3,500,000 Special to The Times. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 15.—Dedication of tho largest movable dam in the world, eighteen miles below Evansville on the Ohio River scheduled for today, will be attended by two days of ceremonies. Several hundred delegates to the Ohio Valley Improvement Association’s convention in session here Tuesday and Wednesday will be taken on Government vessels ; to tbe recently completed link in the ! canalization of the Ohio. NOTABLES ON SPEAKERS’ PROGRAM. Senator W. B. McKinley of Illinois, Representatives B. L. Rosenblcom, West Virginia, and Guy E. Campbell of Pittsburgh; Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers, United States Army; Oscar F. Barrett, Cincinnati, president of the Ohio Valley Improvement Association. John H. Small, Washington, president of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress; Albert Bettinger. Cincinnati; Dr. C, E. Lucke, dean of engineering Columbia University, New York; James E. Smith, St. Louis, vice president of the Mississippi Valley Association; J. K Howard, American Farm Bureau Federation, and several United States Army engineers The Henderson dam, begun eleven years ago, cost approximately $3,500,000. During high water its wickets slide to the bottom of the river, giving a free channel one-half mile wide. Its locks, similar to locks of other dams on the river between Pittsburgh and Evansville, is six hundred feet long, 110 feet wide and has a lift of approximately thirteen feet.

off the loin and said, “That would cost a retailer just 40 cents a pound, but it's only 8 per cent of the weight of the whole side. “This piece, (and he marked off about one-fourth of the carcass) is the chuck and I'll sell it at wholesale for 7 cents a pound. Please remember, this is one of our best sides of beef. We also have beef which sells for half as much.” This wide variation in the price of various cuts from the same side of beef is caused largely by demand for the tender cuts. The others are, of course, just as wholesome. It seems as though more people than ever are demanding choicer cuts, and their demand sets the price. If few people ask for the forequarter cuts, the price of forequarters will automatically drop to a figure low enough to induce people to buy because of cheapness. Even though certain cuts sell for relatively high prices, other cuts, due to lack of demand, sell so low that our profit from all sources over a period of five years averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound. It is competition between consumers for the choice cuts that keeps prices for those cuts relatively high; an equalizing demand for all parts of the carcass would benefit producer, packer, retailer and consumer. Our average wholesale selling price of all products has fallen about 40 per cent since September 1920. Swift & Company, U. S. A Indianapolis Local Branch, 223-7 Kentucky Ave. R. D. Murphy, Manager

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatisn. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave bis discovery to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. Haag Drug Company has been appointed agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the understanding that he will freely return the purchase money on the first two bottles to an who state they received uo benefit.—Advertisement.

Afew weeks ago a newspaper man visited one of the wholesale markets of Swift & Company. He wanted to see a retailer buy a loin of beef and then watch the retailer sell the porterhouse and sirloin steaks from it over his counter. He thought this would make a good story. The head of the market took the reporter into the “cooler” where he showed him a high class side of beef. With a wooden skewer he marked
