MOVE TO PROVIDE CITY BUREAU FOR JOBLKSSTARTED Ordinance Before Council Calls for Board of Twelve Citizens, . A move for a citizens’ free employment bureau was well under way today. An ordinance providing for a bureau controlled by a board of twelve citizens, was introduced in the city council Monday night. The board members would be appointed for the first time by the mayor and vacancies afterward would be filled by nominations of the board. Members would serve four years, without pay, and would organize a staff consisting of a supervisor at 11,800 a year, an assistant at $1,500 dnd a clerk at SI,OOO. The city would pay the salaries. Committee Investigates The ordinance is the result of investigations of a committee appointed by Mayor Shank to solve the employment problem. Different charity organizations maintaining employment bureaus would be represented on the board. No license will be required of a private home owner for renting rooms where the house is not open to the general public or transient roomers, under two amendments to the rooming house ordinance passed under suspension of rules. One new ordinance introduced would compel the Big Four Railroad to maintain a safety gate, signal bell and place a day watchman on 'duty at the intersection of Golay St. and the Big Four tracks, and another would make Pearl St. a one-way traffic street between Alabama and New Jersey Sts. Zoning Amendments More than a score of west side residents at the joint hearing of the city plan commission and the council favored the changing of the district at Belmont and W. Washington Sts., from a factory district to a residential district. The ordinance providing for the change was passed. Another amendment to the zone ordinance passed by the council changed the frontage on Central Ave. from Thirtieth St. to a point 700 feet north of Fortieth St. to permit the erection of double houses. Other ordinances passed: Appropriating $2,000 for fire prevention bureau of the fire department; increasing salaries of clerks in the city controller's office: appropriating $5,000 to purchase two new cars for battalion chiefs in the fire department: providing for licensing electricians and appropriating a small amount of money to pay unpaid bills of Broad Ripple. GAME LAWS ENFORCED Fifty-Three Convicted for Violations in January. Fifty-five persons were arrested in January and fifty-three convicted for violating fish and game laws in Indiana, George N. Mannfeld, superintendent of the fish and game division of the department of conservation, has reported. Twenty-four arrests were for taking fur bearing animals in an unlawful manner. Observe Washington Day The Warren Township Democratic Club will observe Washington’s birthday at 130 S. Audubon Rd., Wednesday evening. Dr. G. Gobel will speak. There will be tnusic and refreshments. All Democrats and their friends are invited. Sick for Ten Years Gained 60 Pounds by Use of PE-RU-NA Read This

Mr. John Wick No matter how long you have been sick or how much you have suffered, you must not give up hope. Mr. John Wick, of Monomonee Falls, Wisconsin, did not and is a well man today. In September, 1918, he wrote: “I have been a user of Pc-ru-na for near- i Iy twenty years. I had catarrh of the stomach for ten years. Nothing did me any good. I grew worse until a friend advised me to try Pe-ru-na. While using the j first bottle, I felt I had found the right medicine. I am entirely cured. My weight was down to 135 pounds and now I weigh 195 pounds. I have used very little medicine for the last ten years.” The condition known as catarrhal is not confined l- the nose and j throat. It may be found wherever there are mucous membrances and is responsible for a multitude of troubles. Coughs and colds are catarrhal as well as stomach and bowel disorders. Do as John Wick did. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. It stimulates digestion, aids in throwing off the poisonous secretions, enriches the blood, increases the resistance to disease and promotes good health generally. Insist upon having genuine Peru—na in either tablet or liquid form. Your dealer has it.

Do you know these PEOPLE? Do they live in Indianapolis? FRANKLIN MILLS He was the fourth of the name in succession in Indianapolis, enjoying an unassailable social position and able, it is said, to command more cash at a given, moment than any other man in the community. Nearly every piece of property in the original mile square of the city had at some time belonged to a Mills. The earlier men of the name had been prominent in public affairs, but Franklin Mills had never been interested in politics, except to give his individual support, as unostentatiously as possible, to candidates who promised to safeguard the business interests of the country. BRUCE STORRS It was not his name; he had no honest right to it. He had speculated many times in his wanderings as to whether he shouldn’t change it but this would lead to endless embarrassments. Now, with his thoughts crystalized by the knowledge that this other man.—Franklin Mills—who had been in love with his mother was within reach, he experienced a strong sense of loyalty to the memory of the man he had called father. It would be a contemptible thing to abandon the name of one who had shown him so tender an affection and understood so perfectly his needs and aims.

LEILA MILLS “Miss Leila Mills of Jefferson Avenue gave a luncheon yesterday at the Faraway Country Club for her house guest, Miss Helene Ridgeway of Cincinnati. The decorations were purple asters and pink rhses.” The Leila referred to in the society column must be his sister and the same blood ran in her veins as in his own. “There must have been a little devil in some of the Mills tribe away back yonder,” said Bud Henderson speaking of Leila, “for that girl certainly is a lively little filly. Bounced from seven boarding schools—holds the champeen record there. Her mother passed hence when Leila was about fourteen and various aunts took a hand in bringing the kid up. She smokes incessantly and drinks a whole lot more than she ought to hut Frank’s cra:v about her—old stuff of doting father bullied by adorable daughter.” BUD HENDERSON A friend of Storrs’s at Boston Tech., and now sponsor-in-chief for Storrs in Indianapolis, Henderson had always been generous in sharing his pleasures with his fellows. He was the only scion of one of the earliest and noblest families. His, grandfather’s bank busted in’ seventy-three with a loud crash and he had an uncle who was convicted of embezzling publicTunds. The old gentle* man Lid in Patagonia, so Bud said, and died there in sinful splendor at a ripe BILL FRM AN About tHrty-five, short and burly with a thick shock of unruly chestnut hair. He’s probably the best architect in town, also business sponsor for Storrs; but he never does . anything without first consulting

ships where institutions are located unless they were residents of such townships before commitment. No. 323 (Harris-Day) —Legalizes incomplete records of all mortgages and deeds. Cupid Is Suspected. The police are searching for Miss Ruby Barr, 14, daughter of Silas Barr, Noblesville, Ind. Barr told police his daughter left home Wednesday. He believed she came to Indianapolis.

Craig, 3938 Kenwood Ave., today told police a thief stole a motormeter valued at $lO, from his automobile, parked at Thirty-Fourth St. and Central Ave.

his wife—one of his eccentricities. A real estate operator gave him the site upon which he lives with the stipulation that he build himself a home to establish a social and artistic standard in the neighborhood. DALE FREEMAN Bill’s wife; also social sponsor for Storrs. She’s absurdly small and slight and her bobbed hair exaggerates her diminutive 6tature. Perhaps she’s thirty but her face has yet to lose its girlish roundness. She is full of fun; moves in the best society and her home is sort of an open house. Any evening you’re likely to meet people there Who have something worth while to offer. MILLICENT HARDEN A remarkable person who plays the role of big sister, to Leila; they’re neighbors. Millicent’s father made a fortune out of an asthma cure—the joy of the cut-rate druggists. Socially, the senior Hardens are outside the breastworks, but Millicent is asked to very large functions, where nobody knows who’s there. She has a strong artistic bent; really plays the organ, is poetic and models in clay quite wonderfully. CONSTANCE MILLS Daughter-in-law of Franklin Mills, young and popular, and a product of the Misses Palmers’ school,a local institution. Men noticed that she had handsome gray eyes and was a smart dresser. She was fond of confiding that her husband was the “dearest lamb” who didn’t at all mind her having her men friends in for tea. And she was wont to practice her little coquetries with a disarming openness. Bruce Storrs thought Connie Mills fond of admiration and given to harmless poses which he suspected her friends encouraged.
