The girls were taken to their homes by the police. Sims told policemen the car was stalled and asked them to help start it. The boys told conflicting stories and the police discovered the owner of the car was Ray W. Cloverdill, 4146 Graceland Ave.. who had reported it stolen from Delaware and Market Sts. early in the night. The boys said they met the girls in Broad Ripple and that the girls told them they were lost. They said the girls did not know the automobile had been stolen. HARDING MAKES FIRS! SPEECH (Continued From Page 1) and happy people, your Government cannot reach that height of efficiency, power and helpfulness to which we aim to bring it. I thank you for this greeting. “Good-by and good luck.” Harding will reveal on his trip the general outline of a much more comprehensive international program than he has yet disclosed. Some of Mr. Harding's ideas on world relations may prove more startling and disquieting to the irreconcilables than his world c#urt proposal, on which he will speak tonight in St. Louis in the home State of Senator Reed, bitterest Democratic irreconcilab'3. W hlle it is impossible at this time to disclose even broadly the trend of Mr. Harding's program, it can be stated that if even a small portion of it is adopted the United States will play a much more active part in hastening settlement of world problems than It has up to this time. The President has information of the most significant sort concerning developments in Europe. He has been increasingly impressed recently with the fact that Europe’s troubles, if long continued, are likely to bring a reflex In the United States which might directly affect the farmers, industrial workers, business men and capitalists of this country. This much can be said that Europe's efforts to settle the Ruhr and reparations problems will no*, be allowed to end in total failure without an effort being made from this side of the Atlantic to prevent such a breaking up of the forces pending adjustment, which Mr. Harding believes Is vital, not only to America, but to Iworld welfare. President’s special Is due at St. ffbuis late this afternoon and tonight k- ib speaking tour will formally be ■Sie m ln aR addrtss at the Coliseum •ff-fUv' at city.

Veterans of Foreign Wars Leave City for Annual State Encampment at South Bend

LOCAL VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS READY TO EMBARK FOR SOUTH BEND.

HOG PRICES FAIL TO COMMAND J 8 Buyers Believe Check Due to Drastic, Recovery. Disappointment over failure of hog prices to touch the $8 mark at the local stockyards today was expressed by traders and shippers who had believed that porkers would establish anew high mark on the current recovery from the recent drop to the \915 price mark. The highest i>rice paid on Wednesday was $7.95, though one commission man early declined a bid of SB, believing the stock later would sell higher. Commenting on the decline which carried prices down 10@15c today, H. D. Speers, head buyer of Klngan & Cos., said he believed the check was a natural result of a too drastic recovery from $6.75 June 9 to $7.95 June 20. The intense heat also has affected the market for pork, he said, and the disposition of farmers to continue shipping hogs contributed to the set-bOck. Speers declared. “The • market is simply taking a breathing spell and adjusting itself to market conditions here and else where,” Speers said. “I believe the prices at $7.75 to S7.SO in Indianapolis now are generally in line with those of other market centers.”

Public Now Prefers Vegetable Laxatives

Dr. CiHwdl’i Syrup Peptin afford* prompt rebel ia a netural way THE public is constantly becoming _ moro discriminating in its choice of things. Those subject to constipation try to learn what makes them consti/■r paled, and then . zgs- avoid it. If con- . . tjEyifrV stipatJon persists * n of all & jgx their efforts they take the mildest, **s^8 Lsy/ most easily tol- ’ erated laxative obtainable, and not a drastic physic that upsets them for days afterwards. As over 10 million bottles of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin are sold a year, a large proportion of the people of this country must believe that this mild vegetable compound is the proper remedy for them, and so it is. No need to take salt waters and powders that dry up the blood; coal-tar drugs in candy form that produce skin eruptions, or caloippl that' salivates. These drugs are ‘‘heroic measures”, over-effective, weakening and griping. The best constipation remedy is the one that moves the bowels without shock to your system, and such a one is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It is a vegetable

Francis F.

The fire started in a second-hand store on the ground floor. The proprietor Is h< Id for questioning. A panic broke out in the building and those surrounding It when the flames were discovered, after having gained considerable headway. The panic was added to by trapped women and children crowding upper story windows. Some Jumped. Others thwarted rescue by fighting among themselves to be the first taken out by firemen. Two or three times ladders were knocked away by struggling victims, and before they could be replaced the faces at the windows disappeared as the flames licked upward. A squad of taxi drivers joined police reserves In quelling the crowd. They formed ho.low squares, fighting back the negroes with clubs, monkey wrenches and bare fists.

compound of Egyptian senna and pepsin with pleasant-tasting aromatics, and has been satisfactorily sold for 30 years. Unlike the harsher physics it does not produce a habit, and increased doses are not required; in fact, it so trains the stomach muscles that in time medicines of all kinds can be dispensed with. Many take a teaspoonful of Syrup Pepsin once a week as a health safeguard. Others use it only when required, as, for example, Airs’. J. W. Borroughs of Little Bock, Ark., who finds it equally valuable for herself ami the children, and Mr. Enas S. Costa of Watsonville, Cal., whose family uses it regularly. Try Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin in constipation, biliousness, piles, headaches, sallow complexion, and to break up fevers and colds. A generous-size bottle can be had at any drug store, and it costs about a cent a dose 1

ROTARY SPEAKER , SCORES YELLOW’ PRESS OF NATION Editor of Boston Transcript Points Out Newspaper Responsibilities, By United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 21.—James T. Williams, Jr., editor of t.h eßoston Transcript, speaking before the Rotary international convention today, pointed out the responsibilities of the press of the world and scored “publications that pander to and are supported by a licentious minority of people—a concentious minority that assumes the privilege of press and basely betrays its responsibilities. “A press that is alive to its responsibilities is always at war with shame and hypocrisy wherever they stalk and whatever their garb,” Williams said. “It would be folly to deny the existence here and there of newspapers that seek to cloak base conduct under professions of high moral pur| pose; that specialize in the tlon of the evil sayings and feeling* and thoughts of the human race ii* utter disregard for the public welfare. “A sewer system is essential to the health of a community. A well governed community finds it not infrequently necessary to open a sewer for the purpose of inspectin gor repairing the system. But this is a very different thing from turning a whole community into an open sewer or making a whole community appear to the outside world as an open sewer.” Robbery at Tourist Camp While stopping In the auto tourist camp in Riverside Park Wednesday night, Patrick Douglass of Portland. Ore., was robbed of $lB in cash, and $220 In traveler’s checks, he told police today. McCray Congratulates Preus Congratulations to J. A. O. Preus.
