PROSECUTOR RAPS ‘DOUBLE STANDARD’ . IN MURDER TRIALS Blonde Curls or Dark Eyes Impress Juries, Says Chicago Lawyer, By United News CHICAGO, June 25.—The double standard of morality, which gives the man all the breaks, is not a bit more invincible against attempts to abolish it than the double standard of murder, which favors the woman. Male juries, susceptible as ever, are seeing to it that this example of the law of compensation is not removed, and women who can not restrain themselves from pumping a bullet or two into a husband or "sweetie” continue to do so in the knowledge that they are playing comparatively safe. These are the disgusted conclusions of Assistant State’s Attorney William A. Rittenhouse, who has just lost his thirtieth murder case involving such a killing. Has One Conviction Rittenhouse has tried upward of a thousand murder cases, but there is one conviction to which he ironically points with pride above all others. A few years ago a colored woman shot her husband for no esclally good reason. The woman had neither friends nor money and was represented by a poor lawyer. She was convicted. I “That,” Rittenhouse declares, *‘is ?"ne only woman who has been convicted for shooting a husband in Cook County in the past fifteen years, and, believe me, a good many husbands have been killed. Making Juries Forget “The defendant doesn’t have to be beautiful. No matter how conclusive or well-prepared the case, the verdict is not guilty if there is a woman in it who can be called even passably good looking. Blonde girls or dark eyes seem to have a faculty of making juries forget the most clinching evidence." The latest acquitttal was that of two sisters charged with murdering the husband of one when he confronted her with evidence of infidelity. The two alleged sweethearts of the sisters also were freed. The defense was that the husband had been brutaL

CITY SAVED FROM ICE FAMINES BV RESERVESUPPLY Polar Ice and Fuel Company Makes Every Effort to Protect Public, Although the city sweltered last week, Indianapolis is protected against an ice famine. Years come and go, and in many Instances one hears of the suffering entailed by the shortage of ice in some certain city. This has never happened in Indianapolis due to large reserves kept for emergencies. In addition to the reserve supplies of ice in the plants of the Polar Ice and Fuel, these plants are manufacturing 325 tons of Ice daily. Henry L. Dithmer, president of the company explained the process of manufacture followed In their main plant at 2000 Northwestern Ave. Three artisian wells, 224 feet in depth supply the water. Approximately 800 gallons of water are consumed a minute. This water is distilled by great boilers. Two are in use now while two others are held In reserve. The work goes on constantly, the machinery never stopping. Containers are filled with water, automatically closing when 310 pounds of water have gone into each container. This remains for thirty hours, when it is frozen into a solid cake. It is then hoisted and moved over to a vat of hot water, where it is lmmerced for a minute or two to loosen it from the container, then automatically dumped onto a carrier that takes it to its destination in the warehouse. The big storage rooms are beginning to show depletion of the reserve supply, although there are still 760 tons yet In storage. The Polar Ice and Fuel Company was organized In 1890 and has been in continuous operation since that time, the only one In the city to have been in continuous operation over so long a period. It is the aim of this company to give service, and theih steady growth attests to the fact that It is succeeding. 'MEANEST THIEF’ SOUGHT Police Looking for Clews to Missing Toy Wagons. Police officers were doubling efforts today to arrest the thief who for a month has been stealing toy wagons and children's automobiles in various parts of the city. Jack Stems, 510 N. Meridian St., today told police the thief took his Irish Mail, valued at $12.75, from in front of 323 N. Pennsylvania St. Widowers’ Frolic Spoiled Widows, essential element of a widows’ and widowers’ afternoon frolic and picnic, advertised for Sunday afternoon at Garfield Park, were totally absent when a group of eligible males appeared.

CAUTION NEEDED TO RE-ADJUST BUSINESS Decline in Price and Increase in Wages Frank Admission That Boom Nears End.

By DR. LOUTS HANEY, Director Bureau of Research New York University. NEW YORK. Juno 25.—The trend of wholesale prices is still downward. The Bureau of Labor has just confirmed the 2 per cent decline shown by Bradstreet’s index during May. This steady sagging of wholesale markets now affects nearly all groups of commodities except certain building This fact marks a significant change from the scattered and irregular declines of a month or two ago. The general decline in wholesale prices cannot go on much longer without a frank admission that the 1922 boom has ended and that further readjustments in industry must be made before we have another upswing In the business cycle. Under some circumstances, prices may decline without injuring prosperity, but. hardly so when labor cost is increasing and there is overproduction In key industries. A good part of business profits is speculative and comes from buying things at a lower price than they are later sold for. This is easiest to do when prices are steadily rising. It Is very difficult when prices are falling. The recent declining trend of wholesale prices taken alone shows a tendency to decreased profits. Wages are still on the increase, probably due to demand coming from advance orders and to the seasonal demand In agriculture, road building, etc. Signs are at hand that the Increase in employment and labor shortage are soon to be checked. If prices continue downward, wages will have to come down, and in the process of adjustment there is apt to be industrial trouble. The outlook Just now is for further price declines. In tne first place, there is known overproduction in several industries and that may exist in others. Petroleum and some of Its products are in excess supply, with price cuts coming thick and ffcat. , Rubber and

WHEELS OF AUTO MUSTBEIN GOOD SHAPEFOR TOURS Local Company Specializes on Rims—Equipment Insures Quick Service, During the next three months, many car owners will give their cars hard usage. Long trips will be made, in many cases over new roads, and every one who starts out hopes that he will have good luck. However, according to F. W. Dennerline, manager of the Indiana Wheel and Rim Company, 40 W. North St., no motorist should start out until he is sure that he has given his car every attention. “Many people have their engines overhauled, tires put into condition, and their car repainted, yet they will give no attention whatever to the wheels. The wheels should not be neglected for they receive much hard strain that tends to throw them out of line, and thus by the uneveness of their road surfaces they will cut the tires to pieces. “Our company was organized for the purpose of taking care of these wheel and rim troubles. We can correct, prevent and cure them. We are in a position to replace any model of wire, wood or disc wheel. We are prepared to paint wheels and turn out this work in very short order. We also specialize In the repair of wire and disc wheels. "Another thing that should have the attention of every far-sighted driver Is the condition of pistons—piston pins and rings. We carry the best of pistons, ones that will fit right and will be a big help In cutting down gas leakage.

GOOD FURNACE IS IMPORTANT HEM Summer Is always a busy time for new, building and also for remodeling. Many people find that a few hundred dollars spent in reniodelipg more than pays in the comfort and convenience it affords. Harry Rybolt of the Rybolt Furnace Company, 632 Massachusetts Ave., reports an unusually brisk business this summer, due to continued growth In construction work. ‘‘People are now realizing the necessity of having an adequate heating plant Installed in their homes, and are also convinced of the necessity of having it installed by expert mechanics, for no matter how good the furnace may be, It will never be satisfactory if poorly installed. We are prepared to give expert advice as to what type and size furnace should be installed in a house. “This is also the logical time of the year for the repair of heating plants, so that they will be ready for service at the opening of cold weather. We have repairs for all makes of furnaces, and our expert repair men take care of this work in a way that is absolutely sa isfactory to the customer.”

tires a™e weak, and a tire price wails at hand. Copper pn luction Is now so large that in vie-df of European conditions the market is rather weak. Above all, there is the weakness in grain and livestock. From the high points of this year, cash wheat has fallen about 21 cents and futures have had an even greater fall. Hogs have recently sold below pre-war prices. The weakness in farm products is due to large world supply, and It is difficult to see how any mere marketing arrangement like that proposed by Mr. Baruch oar. remedy tne situation. It will take smaller wheat crops and fewer hogs to bring up the prices of those products.
