MOTHERS TO BE GIVEN TEACHING POSITIONS AGAIN School* Board Substitutes New Rule for Year-Old Resolution, Mothers can teach now in the Indianapolis schools. Resolution to the contrary, passed June 12. 1923. were rescinded by the school board Tuesday night and a substitute resolution was passed. The new rnle provides that a mar ried woman, teaching under contract, must apply for a leave of absence four months prior to the time she expects to become a mother, the absence to continue until the child is one year old. The resolution, proposed by Charles L. Barry, evoked lengthy discussion. Barry, bringing up the subject of delay in sending out contracts to teachers for 1924-25, said he thought criticism of the board unfair. Passing Buck “We took immediate action.” said Barry, speaking of the work of the instruction committe< acting on Superintendent E. U. Graff's list of appointments. “You took more time than you did last year. Mr. Barry.” said D. T. Weir, assistant superintendent, sitting in Graffs place. “The contracts were mailed out too late[' admitted Fred Bates Johnson, “but it must have been due to the fact that the list was not submitted to the committe on instrucion at the proper time.” The board awarded contract for heating system alterations at School No. 79 to Freyn Brothers, and the contract for altering a corridor at the same school to John A. Schumacher. Salary of Charles E. Rush, city librarian, was raised from $5,000 to $5,500. More Appointments Mrs. Fred A. Sims was appointed to the board of directors of the dianapolis Art Association. Additional appointments of teachers were announced by Superintendent Graff and passed by the board as follows: Shortridge High School— Paul Seehausen, history: Ina M. Gaskill, hygiene; Dorothy Arndt, chemistry and Latin; Elizabeth Matthews, Latin; Edith Loftin. gymnasium assistant. and Elsie M. Hall, assistant clerk. Emmerich Manual Training High School — L. B.

BEGIN HERE TODAY John Ainsley. a man of education and breeding', becomes a master crook—preying upon other thieves His first venture into theft wan at the expense of Daragon. a I’iftb Ave. jeweler. Npw. in a resort hotel. Ainsley is recovering the strength which he lost in months of near-slißvation before he turned to dishonesty At the resort he unfairly loses .?500 in a golf bet with Ernest Vantine. chief owner of a detective ageney—a coarse, boorish individual. Vantine is engaged to a Miss Kemochan, daughter of a wealthy retired broker. As proof of bis great wealth. , Kernoelian shows Ainsley a ring—an enormous ruby—which lie gave to his daughter- upon her engagement to Vantine. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY E was not loath to do so, and 1 learned that the jewel had a history. It had been owned by a Russian grand duke who had fled to Italy when Kerenski came into power. He had disposed of it to an American millionaire by the name of Adams, who had died shortly afterward, leaving his affairs much involved. “I had a claim against his estate, and I took this stone in settlement from his widow,” said Kernochan. I wondered looking at his smug face, with the" pious sidewhiskers and the mean, hard mouth, how just had been his claim against! - the estate. Idly, I questioned him —yet not too idly, for the stone attracted me.' I learned that Adams had left a widow who now resided in Boston and who was in rather straitened circumstances. Thinking of how comfortably that widow might live upon the proqeeds of the sale of the ruby, I felt my distaste for Kernochan increasing. I made up my mind that I would have that ruby. But next morning starting for the second fairway, where the professional was awaiting me to correct a nasty slice that long absence from the game had produced in my drive, I came upon the Kernochans and Vantine in the lobby. They were laden with bags. I stopped beside them. “I'es, we’re leaving,” Kernochan told me in reply to my polite question. “A telegram late last nightsudden death of e. former partner of

mine; inconsiderate of him to die just now, when I'm enjoying the golf, but it can’t be helped.” His callous brutality should not have affected me, but I marked it up against him. I, too, felt that h%i partner was inconsiderate; I wanted the ruby, and it was going away. I murmured an insincere condolence. I turned to Vantine. “I'd hoped, with a little practice, to take you on again,” I told him. “Well, there are other golf courses,” he leered. “I live at Greenwich, Mr. Ainsley,” said Kernochan. “In a few weeks the courses around there will be in good condition. If you’re In New York —” “Thank you very much," I told him warmly. And the next day I, too, left Pinehurst. Two evenings later I was in Boston; and twenty-four hours aftei f my arrival I had read and digested In newspaper files the life and death of Henry Adams, whose widow had surrendered the great ruby to Benjamin Kernochan. For, you see, when I make up my mind, I am very much in earnest. I had read of supercrooks; I had met one in the flesh, and almost under his eyes had abstracted a jewel for the possession of which he had made his supercrook plans. I had told myself then that the so-called supercrooks succeeded merely because of the low intelligence of the police opposed to them. If low gunning—which was all my supercrook possessed—could achieve Access, what would the intelligence of a gentleman achieve? I had answered that question satis ; factorily. By one bit sleight-of-hand I had made more money than honest drudgery would have earned me in a lifetime. For I had no profession. Born-to expectations which had not been fulfilled, 1 found myself, at 30, possessed of an aristo : cratic birth, a cosmopolitan education and —nothing else. I was a living sermon of the futility of the gentleman.. For the day when the mere

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

j being a gentleman entitled on® to a decent and honorable living has passed forever. The world has no respect for fine instincts; it pays its tributes to fine gold. I had intelligence; that* I knew. But in addition to a gootj mind—which had never been used —I had only a gift for sleight-of-hand, assiduously cultivated during my youth. That contemptible accomplishment. however, had been sufficient, coupled with a quick wit, to enable me to do what a super-crook had failed to achieve. Yet, with till my contempt for the intelligence of the police, I had vowed that I would, if possible, confine my efforts to fields in which the police had no concern. I would rob thieves. But here, at the very outset of my new career, I fould myself planning to steal from one who was not a thief. Pride entered into the affair. Kernochan and Vantine thought me a wealthy fool who could he rooked with impunity. I would endeavor to show them that they had been mistaken. And in furtherance of that endeavor, I made a call upon Mrs. Henry Adams.

“I COULD NOT WEAR SUCH A RING.”

I found her in a modest hoarding house on Beacon Hill. I introduced myself as one who planned writing a book on historic jewels. Two days of hasty reading in the public library had qualified me to speak learnedly upon the subject of precious stones —wisely enough, at least, to deceive any hut a jeweler. Furthermore, as I explained to Mrs. Adams, my book was to deal with the romance of jewels, rather than with technicalities.

‘But why coijie to me, Mr. Ainsley ?” she asked. “You are the owner of the Grand Duke’s ruby,* I replied. “Not any longer,” she told me, shaking her white head. I assumed an expression of surprise. ”1 understood that your husband had acquired it,” said I. “That is true; but since my husband’s death, the stsne has passed from my possession,” she informed me. Then, in‘response to my questioning look, she told me the things that I wished to know. “My husband and I. Mr. Ainsley, have always been simple people. We never expected to own such a thing as the Grand Duke's ruby, and we acquired it almost accidentally. My husband was a broker. He was In Italy, arranging for the flotation of some Italian bank stock in this country. While there, he met the Duke, who was In great need of money. He wished to sell the ruby, and experts assured tny husband That the price, _ $150,000, was hardly half the jewel's real value. My husband had considerable cash available at the time. It looked like a good investment, and so he bought it. But neither of us ever intended that I should wear it. I am afraid” —and she smiled whimsically—“that I am not the type of woman Who could successfully wear such a ring.” I agreed with her, although I protested otherwise. But she laughed at'me. "I am a simple countrywoman, Mr. Ainsley. I never could be a grand lady, and never wanted to be one. And Henry, my husband, was a countryman. In search of a living, Henry came to Boston when he was a boy; he always hoped to save enough to buy a farm. You know how those things are. By the time Henry had ten thousand dollars, he was involved in business. By the time he possessed one hundred thousand, he was more deeply involved in affairs. Then, when his fortune amounted to more than a million, his entanglements were so great that his withdrawal from business might have injured scores of other people. We bought the farm, but how seldom we saw it! And then, just before he died, he determined definitely to get out of the city.

just how it was that Henry's estate, which I had thought to be worth at least three million dollars, amounted, when all the claims were settled, to less than twenty thousand. “But ho had entered into some sort of an arrangement with another oroker named Ketnochan; and Kernochan had papers that seemed to prove that Henry was entirely re sponsible for certain vast debts incurred under that arrangement.” Her gray eyes gleamed. I sensed the fire within this §weet and simple lady. “You say those papers seemed to prove certain things,” I commented. “I was wrong,” she corrected herself. "I understand law no more

98 OUT OF EVERY 100 WOMEN BENEFITED An Absolutely Reliable Statement Important to Every Woman Remarkable Results Shown by a Nation Wide Canvass of Women Purchasers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 50,000 Women Answer

For some time a circular has been enclosed with each bottle of our medicine bearing this question: “Have you received benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound?” Replies, to date, have been received from over 50,000 women answering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 98 out of every 100 women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended ace benefited by it. This is a most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Think of it—only two women out of 100 received no benefit—oß successes out of a possible 100. Did you ever hear anything like it? We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished.

Such evidence should induce every woman suffering from any ailment peculiar to her sex to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and see if she" can’t be one of the 98. The Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Cos., Lynn-

But.” —and she smiled again—“you see that I no longer own the ruby.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) Council Hears Evidence Additional testimony in the real estate transactions of the park board was obtained by the city council committee investigating alleged irregularities in the administration. The testimony was understood to" have supplemented previous findings. Following the session, members announced another meeting may be called this week.

Os course we know that ouuaedicine does benefit the large majority of women who take it. But that only two out of 100 received no benefit is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments —not a cure all —one that is made by the most scientific process ; not from drugs, but from a combination of nature’s roots and herbs, can and does do more good than hastily prepared prescriptions. You see, we have been making, improving and refining this medicine for over 50 years until it is so perfect and so well adapted to women’s needs that it actually has the virtue to benefit 98 out of every 100 women who take it. Its reliability and recognized efficiency has gained for it a sale in almost every country in the world —leading all others.
