IS. DUFFY SLAIN BY HUSBAND;HER FRIENDS KILL DIM This Is Theory of Companion With Couple on Night of Murder. By United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 27—John Daugh erty, alias Duffy, Philadelphia gunman killed Maybelle Exley Duffy, his bride of two weeks and then was slain by his wife’s friends, William Engeleke, who said lie was with the couple on the. night of the killings, told police today. Engeleke, who was sought in connection with the murders, was arrested today. "Duffy and Maybelle and I were having a drinking party that night,” Engeleke said. * Got Into Argument "Duffy and Maybelle got into an argument because she refused to eat lunch with him. Duffy pulled a gun and shot Maybelle. He forced me to stay with him for nearly twenty-four hours and often threatened to kill me. . “The last I saw of Duffy was when he got into an automobile with several strangers. I believe these men killed him and threw his body from the car.” Duffy’s body was found near the outskirts of the city Friday morning. A few hours later police went to his apartment and found the body of his wife. Story Seems Plausible Although declaring Engeleke’s story was plausible and might be true, police announced they would hold him until more details of the double killing were made clear. Mrs. Exley Duffy was known in the underworlds of several cities. Her husband was a notorious police character in Philadelphia and several Ohio cities. ~

He likes the strange side of life, and is always on the lookout for curioup facts. “I have formed the habit of counting the strokes that a barber makes in shaving me,” he said recently. “Now, the average man has no idea of what a shave involves; he cannot tell whether a barber makes a dozen strokes or a thousand. I have had men guessing and no one comes any where near the facts. For some time I have been counting the strokes that a man takes in shaving me and it is interesting. “I find that the first time he goes over my face he takes about 480 strokes, and when he goes over it the second time he takes about £6O strokes. That makes 740 strokes to a shave. They tell me I have a hard beard to shave and run some above the average.

GERMAN SITUATION IS DESPERATE, BUT DOPE 1$ NOT GONE Quaker Relief Worker Tells of Conditions —French Arms Not Feared. Conditions in Germany are “worse than you can imagine, and not so bad as you would think.” That’s the first thing John P. Fletcher, of London, England, Quaker relief worker, visiting in Indianapolis, telle you. Then he explains tty; paradox: “You cannot imagine 10,000,000 people so hungry that even a little mishap can throw them into starvation.

Meridian St., also a former Quaker relief worker in Europe. “Germany Is more afraid of the restoration of German miltarism than of French militarism,” Fletcher said. “The French Is considered the lesser of two evils. “Ev&ence that the German spirit is not militaristic now is shown in immense ‘no more war* demonstrations held every July, on the anniversary of the beginning of the World War. Federation Seen as Hope “The situation in Europe is desperate, but not hopeless. The hope I see is that out of the chaos w*ill be bom the Federated States of Europe, founded on friendliness. “Class war is the greatest danger to the world right now."

LIVER TROUBLE THE CAUSE OF • MUCH SICKNESS Medical science knows that poisonous waste In our bodies would actually cause death In a few days If not eliminated by Nature's processes. Because it destroys these deadly poisons, the liver Is our most important organ —the body's wonderful purifier. Science now understands how the liver prevents the formation of body poisons that cause diseases of the kidneys, and blood vessels and are chiefly responsible for premature old age. When the liver becomes weak, the poisons are sucked up by the blood and health is broken down. Guided by this knowledge, medical science has fou*d the only way to help the liver create the purifying bile without which no human can live. Phystcians know that the liver cannot be regulated by drugs, but a safe Nature substance has been discovered which will at once Increase the vital bile supply. The discovery is purified ox gall. Get from your druggist a package of Dloxol. Each tablet contains ten drops of purified ox gall. In twentyfour hours the poison toxins will be removed. Your liver will be regulated. Blood purification will begin. Sallow skin will clear. You will feel so much better you will know you h#vo found the cause of your ill health. Dioxol tablets are harmless, tasteless and cost less than two cents each. —Advertisement. LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HR Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used It to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingre<Jeints, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. Well-known druggi3ts say it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, It becomes beautifully dark and glossy.—Advertisement.

Speaking editorially, the Chicago Tribune, in its issue of February 3, says: “Virtually every one in the nation is a user of oil and consumption grows at a rapid pace. We have a problem, therefore, not merely of conservation but of supply, and its solution is vital to the material prosperity and progress of the United States." This able statement seems to us to justify further comment i “Virtually every one in the nation is a user of oil"—oil in some form enters into the manufacture of every article of commerce. Without it the commodities you use could not be manufactured and sold for the price you pay now. “Consumption grows at a rapid pace"— to illuminate this statement it is only necessary to show that in the ten states' served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) there were, on January 1, 1924, 4,855,739 automotive vehicles registered. This is 807,367 more than were registered on January 1, 1923. “Conservation"—it is a well-known fact that the Standard Oft Company (Indiana) by means of processes discovered and developed in its own laboratories has contributed more to increasing the yield of gasoline from a given quanitity of crude than any other refiner. This increased yield was secured without in any way affecting the quality of the gasoline and without touching that portion of the crude which goes into the manufacture of lubricating oils. “Vital to the material prosperity and progress of the United States" —comment here seems unnecessary as all must recognize the part played by petroleum in “This Age of Oil." The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has achieved its signal success in “This Age of Oil" by practicing the principles of fairness, equity and justice. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its position as a leader in the petroleum industry—it is proud of its success—it is proud that the service it has rendered has gained the respect, confidence and esteem of the thirty million people of the Middle West. •\ 4 * Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
