SIMM? SAYS HE WILL SEEK TO AID LEAGUE Democrat Candidate for Senatorial Nomination So Declares. One of the most unusual political speeches ever heard in Indianapolis was delivered by Oan W. Simms of Lafayette, candidate for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator, at the ludiana Democratic Club, last night The address. lacking many of the characteristics of the usual political harangues, was a treatise on the history of the development of government from the earliest times. The conclusion of Mr. Simms was that the League of Nations, as proposed byWoodrow Wilson, marked the last logical step upward, front the far off prehistoric days when the only rule of the government In the world was, Mr. Simms said: -The good old rule, the simple plan "That he shall take who hath the power "And he shall keep who can.” Eventually the basic Idea of the League of nations must be accepted, the speaker said, because it is inevitable as an evolutionary step in human development, and it would have been accepted when Woodrow Wilson returned from Versailles “if Massachusetts had been represented by a man of the caliber of her past Senators and not by Lodge, and if Michigan had not for the time being forgotten her highest ideals and failed to send an honest man to the Senate Instead of Newberry.'' ”1 want to make it plain to you.” Mr. Simms said. “I am for the League of Nations first, last nnd all the time. 1 do not want you to vote for me unless you want me to go to Washington to set in motion machinery which will result eventually in the entrance of the United States Into the League of Nations.” In closing Mr. Simms said that he would not ask any one to vote for him, but he did ask every one to go to the polls primary day nnd vote for someone In order that the Democratic party may regain some of the vitality in Indiana it seems to have lost in recent years. Frank Baker opened the meeting with a scathing denunciation of Ilepublican county and city government. Short talks also were made by Joseph I*. Turk and Woodburn Masson, candidates for the Seventh district congressional nomination. Immediate modification and liberalization of the Volstead act were favored by Mr. Turk. He denied that this means the return of the saloon. Mr. Masson denied the right of his opponent to force prohibition as an issue on the Democratic party when the party leaders do not want to make It an issue. Former Governor Samuel M. Ralston. Bernard B. Shively of Marion and Dr. Jesse Sanders of Garret, other candidates for the Senate were expected to attend the meeting, but were unable to be present. Clay Bachelder. president of the Indiana Democratic Club announced that efforts would be made to have them appear before the primary.

SHRINERS WILL GIVE MINSTREL SHOW AT MURAT (Continued From Fa*e Seven.) illusionists. Inasmuch as Eggleston was at one time rated among the foremost "magicians'’ in the world, it will not be too much to say that he has lost none of his cunning and, indeed, he has added many new tricks to his little “bag of tricks." Both before and after the minstrel show the oriental bazaar will be In full operation in the ballroom beneath the theater and in the theater lobby. The proceeds are to send the uniformed organizations to the Imperial council session in San Francisco, hence the “Frisco or Bust” title for the entertainment. It Is explained that because of the heavy expense occasioned by the new addition to Murat Theater the Shrlce Temple does not feel justified in assuming the extra expense of the pilgrimage to Frisco —hence the interested parties are "rolling their own” and offering the public a typical Shrine show. And that means much. Generous patronage is urged if

MAYOR SHANK LOOKS INTO CRYSTAL And Sees Strange Things at Minstrel Show

By WALTER n. HICKMAN. Meet Professor Axhim. Mayor Shank has graduated from the l uiversity of the Ouija Board and has before Professor Axhim, the greatest ot all crystal gazers, dead or alive. Mayor Shank, accompanied by his aid, J. Carleton Guy, walked onto the Murat stage last night near the close of the minstrel part of an entertainment given by the Hoosier Square and Compass Club. The mayor was all dolled up in a cowboy hat, a big cigar, a frock coat and 1 lack trousers. He even carried a cane. "Ladies and gentlemen." said Mr. Guy. “I take great pleasure in introducing 'on to th ■ greatest of all seers. Professor Axhim." The mayor took off his hat and acknowledged the title. "This great professor will demonstrate his great power in mind reading," said Mr. Guy as he brought a chair to which wires were attached, to the center of the stage. "You see we use no wires," he explained. The mayor seated himself with royal dignity, dusted his cigar by putting his ashes in his hat. Mr. Guy tied a hand kerchief arjound the mayor's neck and announced that the professor could see nothing.” Professor Axhim then gazed into a crystal. "What kind of a sCu handkerchief is this?” asked Mr. G\y. “A silk handkerchief," replied the wizard. •‘Correct." yelled Guy. “What is this I touch ?" asked Guy putting his hand on a man’s head. “Nothing.” replied the professor. "I have here in my hand the friend of an Irishman." said Guy. “Now concentrade. What it Is.” Slight pause. Then the professor answered. “A brick." “Absolutely correct." said Guy. “What is the color of the blue dress this lady Is wearing?" asked Guy. "Now scratch your lean.” The mayor did. “A blue dress,” he answered. “Marvelous," said Guy. “He is never wrong.” As the professor showed signs of the severe strain under which he was laboring. the noted gentleman refused to gaze Into the crystal any longer. Then the two entertainers sang a song accurately off the key. One verse spoke feelingly of Senator New. but Mr. Beveridge got the best mention. Guess the mayor must have written that verse. The mayor and his recreational director appeared quite at home on the stage as both have been actors and are proud of it. MINSTREL PART OPENED THE SHOW. The show was divided into four parts, the first being a minstrel. A* it is impossible to go, into detail concerning ail numbers, the program for the minstrels Is given as follows: Ovenlng March—“ Gloria" Losey

I

DRAWING OF PROPOSED NEW WAREHOUSE.

Plans for the erection of a four-story merchandise warehouse embodying many new and advanced ideas in buildings of this character, have been announced by I. C. Strohm, president of the Central Public Warehouse Company and president of the Strohm Realty Company, a subsidiary company. The first unit of the building, which will cost approximately $200,000, will be located at Kentucky avenue and Sand street, and its four stories will provide 91.000 square feet of floor space. Additional units to be constructed later will bring the floor space to more than 250,000 square feet. Arrangements for financing the project have bPen completed by the Strohm Realty Company, Jewett & Cos., the Peoples State Bank and the City Trust Company will finance the project through a $200,000 issue of 7 per cent preferred stock. rians for the construction of the structure are a departure in public warehouses, the rapidly growing motor transport service bringing about special designing to facilitate the handling of niechandise by motor truck. Special emphasis was laid also by McMeans & Tripp, engineers amid designers of the structure, on plans to enable the warehouse company to establish a motor truck terminal in much the same manner that railroad and lnterurban terminals are now handled. The manufacturer to consumer shipment, via the motortruck, and likewise the shipment of farm products direct to the consumer through the terminal warehouse will be made possible

for no other reason than the fact that the pilgrimage of the 200 uniformed men of the Arabic organizations forms one of the big annua] advertising •'stunts” that puts Indianapolis on the map and serves to keep it there. -I- -I* -IDANCER TOPS NEW BILL AT B.

Dr. Bishop's Talks

BY DR. R. 11. BISHOP.

N almost every community large or small, there are public health agencies brought Into being and supported by the taxpayers’ money. Such agencies are there solely to serve and help you. They employ competent doctors, nurses and publie health experts, who are kept there to be your

Ml | J

advisers. The common conception of any sort of public health agency Is that it Is expressly for poor people. This Is rot true. Poor and well-to-do alike are txpeeted to tnke advantage of the facilities offered by a public health agency. When they give you advice, it should be followed —always. If you do not you are falling to avail yourself of the benefits your money is buying. If your children come homo from school and tell you that the school n irse has recommended certain diets or the observance of personal hygiene rules, you should co-operate in every tray. Such advice would not be given If It were not altogether necessary. AVhon the request is made that your child be vaccinated against a dangerous and contagious disease, your permission should be immediate. Remember always that these suggestions and requests are being made for your good as well as your child's and that your cooperation 1 needed to carry them out. By doing your little share you and your children will be made healthier and happier. By neglecting to do your part you may be the means of bringing needless misery to those you love. The public health doctor aud nurses are working for you.

that I accompany him for this is what I heard: “Oh, she will not care! Thank you! Yes! I'll ask her!” Then to me, “Peggins! Would you care to go over to Mrs. Herrod’s ?’’ “I’d love to!” T replied. ''l've known her a long time, ever since she Joined the Womans City Club.” “Y'ou won’t he bored, dearest? Then tell her you'll come!" Jack handed me the phone and soon it was settled.

I do not remember the name of (he novel I read while their game progressed. My mind wandered constantly from my book to the odd friendship which existed between the chess players. 1 could feel how much they liked each other. It was in the air. I could feel it, but I could not understand it. They did not talk much, but they smiled to each other frequently. And when Jack achieved some piece of brilliant strategy Mrs. IXerrod's smile was charming. It was so much more than approval. It amounted to flattery. As if she were more delighted to have him win than to win herself! They were extraordinary pals, i had never thought they were anything more. I kept telling myself that she was twice his age. lmt I couldn't help thinking as we walked home in silence, 1 couldn’t help wondering if Jack would have proposed to me had Mrs. Herrod been his own age. It was a horrid, haunting thought: one I must not humor; one I must control: for was I not destined to be a silent onlooker at many another game between them ?—Copyright, 1022. (To be Continued.)
