COUNCIL CALLS SESSION TONIGHT ON HOUSE SALE Effort to Pass Measure at Regular Meeting Is Failure, Sale of all houses owned by the park board along Pleasant Run and Kessler Blvd. sites and those surrounding the city hospital w-ill be voted upon tonight by city council in a special meeting. Councilman Heydon W. Buchanan blocked an attempt to provide for the sale un der suspension of rules Monday night. A spirited verbal tilt between President Walter W. Wise and Buchanan followed the vote on the measure in which Buchanan insist ed on the immediate discharge of the council special investigation committee. “I say that if you pass this ordinance, you are playing right into the hands of the park board which we recently exposed,” said Buchanan. Later he approved the sale of Pleasant Run homes, but refused to vote for that provision combined with general sale ordinance. Will Stay Away Tonight Buchanan announced he would not attend tonight. The test vote indicates the ordinance will pass tonight Council authorized a $900,000 flood prevention bond issue authorized a $500,000 temporary loan, and received the 1925 city budget and tax levy. The flood prevention bond issue bears 414 per cent and represents the city's part in building the Kentucky and Oliver Ave. bridges over White River. Councilman Thompson opposed the measure. Thompson also joined with Buchanan in opposing the $500,000 loan. Congested District Extended Councilmen unanimously passed an ordinance extending the congested district to territory bounded by Senate Ave., New Jersey St., Michigan St. and the track elevation. The hour-and-half parking limit will be enforced in this district. The ten year street lighting con tract with the Merchants Heat & Light Cos. was passed with five ayes and four noes, over protest of Councilman Buchanan, who insisted it required six votes to reconsider any action. The contract failed to pass the council two weeks ago. Council man John E. King, Otto Ray, Bu chanan and Thompson opposed it. An effort of Buchanan to reconsider the action by which the council ratified contracts with the Sani tary Waste Paper Box Cos. for waste baskets on street corners succeeded, although the council then reversed Itself and again passed the meas ures. Auto Displays Restricted Over objection of Councilman Theodore J. Bernd, the council parsed a measure prohibiting garage men and automobile dealers from placing cars or parts for sale in streets or alleys surrounding their places of business. Bernd said it was unfair discrimination. Other ordinances introduced: Amending traffic ordinance to provide fifteen-minute parking limit on Meridian St. from Monument PI. to Washington St. Proriding flat-to-curb parking on Washington St. between Delaware St. and Capitol Ave. Annexing territory along Kessler Blvd. site from Meridian St. to tne Crawfordsrille Rd. Providing angle parking around the city market except on Market St. between Alabama and Delaware Sts. An ordinance changing territory at the southwest comer of Kenwood Ave. and Fifty-Sixth St. from business to residential was killed. Bachelor Ends Life By Vniteri Press GOSHEN, Ind., Aug. s.—Sewell H.

“I had a test made of 20 women between the ages ot 30 and 50. Wrinkles and signs ol age in their faces, chins too sharp or too fat. downward lines about the nose and mouth, a drawn careworn look around the eyes—all showed evidence of internal troubles. Their blood was thin or sluggish, circulation poor, stomach out of order, many suffered frequent bearing down pains, some had rheumatism, neuritis or other ailments. All were in a generally nervous. weakened, rundown condition. ’’ What these women needed, just as do countless thousands of others, was the revitalizing action of radium. Once this was supplied by ARIUM , a most amazing change rapidly took place. The weakened glands and organs were strengthened and restored to proper activity, the body was freed from aches and pains, poisonous waste matter was thrown off. the blood was enriefied and circulated freely and with this came a greater nerve force, wonderfully increased strength and a far more youthful appearance This amazing up-building effect of

MY OWN STORY TR USTAND RAILROAD BOGIES LOOM ON POLITICAL HORIZON

‘MY OWN STORY" is an exclusive newspaper version o l one ot the great autobiographies ot modern times: La Follettes own story of adventures in polities as written by himself in 1912. together with an authorized narrative of liis experiences in the years since then. SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS' La Follette enters political life, immediately comes into conflict with Wisconsin political bossism; nevertheless is elected district attorney of Dane County, makes good in this position, and is elected to Congress despite the "Madison ring.” From the beginning he actively opposes political self-seekers. During his years in Congress, from 1885 to 1891. “the onslaught of private interests was reaching its height.” He is appointed to the Ways and Means Committee largely as a result of a speech he makes during the discussion of the Mills bill. Carlisle. Speaker of the House closes the debate for the Democrats instead of Mills. Reed closes for the Republicans I felt Carlisle’s speech was a dangerous one for the Republicans, It dealt with former tariff legislation, particularly with the effect of the acts of 1846 and 1857. I was sure that Carlisle was not only in error in his statement of historical facts, but misleading in his deductions from statistics. I believed strongly that Carlisle ought to be answered, though I felt that it would be presumptuous for a member of my youth and inexperience to attempt It. Finally I went to Reed, told him how I felt and urged him to reply to Carlisle. He responded by advising me in a jocular way to answer Carlisle myself. I then went to McKinley. And McKinley also said to me: “Bob, you answer It.” “Well,” I said, a bit nettled, “I will answer it.” I had a cartload of Congressional Records and reports sent to my home. I put in two or three weeks of the hardest kind of work and prepared a speech about an hour and a quarter long. I knew that under the rules I could get only five minutes, but I hpped to make enough impression in five minutes to secure an extension of time from some other member. I read the speech in advance to just one member of Congress, William E. Fuller of lowa, who had been my good friend, and he advised me to deliver it. I waited my opportunity and began my answer to Carlisle with the statement, “That the representations and conclusions of the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky in reference to this most interesting decade (1846-1857) remain unchallenged and unanswered, is my only excuse for calling the attention of the House to the subject now.” I did my best to crowd everything I could into the first few minutes, keeping my eyes more or less on Reed, the Republican leader. He was working at his desk, writing. After I had been speaking for a time he stopped and turned around to listen to me. Presently the gavel fell, cutting off my speech. Butterworth and Reed both came to their feet. But-

Gibbs Proves That Youth Is All Right in a Defense qfßoys mid Girls Today

By WALTER D. HICKMAN nrT'|OUTH’S all right!” J Those are the last words J written by Sir Philip Gibbs In “Heirs Apparents,” a defense of youth. Writers, some of ’em. take profitable pleasure in making sheiks out of the lads of today and in turning the modern girl into a wild little flapper. In so “painting” youth certain writers have become authors of best sellers. Touth is not only being “kidded” these days, but put in a bad light by some sensational writers who are as close to the problem as the North Pole is to the Equator. Gibbs takes the newspaper or human slant upon youth. Gibbs permits Julian Perryman, his sister, Janet, and the rest of the modern crew to have their mental fling, but when it comes to a question of morals this bunch took a few dangerous slides, but their real moral selves were not damaged. It is this human and I believe honest study of the younger generation in comparison with the old heads

toms quickly disappear. You see and feel the amazing improvement in yourself each day. It may seem too rood to be true but the test on yourself will tell. NOTE—ARIUM is not a drug nor patent medicine, but anew form of radium in tablets for safe, pleasant internal use, which has been widely prescribed by physicians and used at leading hospitals in a great variety of eases. It is perfectly harmless, and is readily assimilated by even a weak stomach. So if you ire not strong and well you owe it to yourself to try ARIUM at once and watch your quick return to buoyant health and splendid physical fitness. ARIUM is guaranteed to give successful results in every case or your money will be refunded. And. furthermore, the Associated Radium Chemists have voluntarily offered 55,000.00 Reward if they fail to prove that a definite quantity of genuine radium is used in the preparation of ARU M At all druggists, such as H.

MRS. LA FOLLETTE IN 1890. terworth asked that my time be extended so as to enable me to finish my remarks. Reed also interposed —I can recall just how he looked, saying: “Mr. Speaker, I think that courtesy ought to be allowed the gentleman. This speech ought not to be interrupted here.” Unanimous consent was given and I continued. Allowed Time The speech, which was afterward widely circulated, evidently so impressed the party leaders as to assure me a place on the Ways and Means Committee. As soon as the committee was organized we began serious work upon the preparation of the measure. afterward known as the McKinley bill. McKinley apportioned the different schedules to subcommittees for special consideration. I was assigned to prepare the agricultural, jute, hemp, flax and tobacco schedules and was one of three on the metal schedule. Gear of lowa and I made the chief fight to put sugar on the free list. For many weeks we held open hearings and scores of men of all classes appeared before us and presented their views. Most of the information we then received as I now realize, consisted of the loose statements of interested men. The facts and figures of the manufacturers were accepted as reliable. I think at that time I did not seriously question this unscientific method of securing Information as a basis for such important legislation as that upon the tariff. We relied upon the historical theory of the protective tariff as advocated by the Republican party. Hamilton, Clay, Blaine and McKinley believed that it made little difference how high the du-

that gives “Heirs Apparent” its beauty of reality. The so-called older generation goes against the rocks even in old age. When youth lands a shipwreck upon some rock, the entire crew is Indicted. When Julian’s very proper mother strikes up a flirtation and a rather dangeruos friendship, his sister, Janet, makes this remark: “I look facts in the face, Julian. Why, I’m so anxious about mother Is because she belongs to the elder generation. We of the younger crowd know how to take care of ourselves. We have sensible ideas about things. We are realists. But people born in Queen Victoria’s reign, or even King Edwards’, are hopelessly romantic and go off the deep end at the slightest provocation.” Received my copy of review of “Heirs Apparent” from the book department at Ayres of this city.

ties were fixed, because free competition between domestic manufacturers within the tariff wall would Inevitably force prices down, insuring the lowest charge to the consumer commensurate with paying American wages to American workmen. But the trouble has been that domestic competition did not prove the strong regulator of commerce that the early protectionists believed it would. Money Interests began to form monopolies behind the tariff wall and both consumers and wage-earners began to suffer from extortion. The difference in view on the tariff between (he progressive Republicans and the so-called" standpat” Republicans lies exactly here. The progressives have seen this vast revolution in economic conditions and have recognized the need of real changes in our tariff-sys-tem, while the “stand-pat” Republicans, led by Aldrich, Penrose, Lodge, Smoot and others, have refused to recognize the changed conditions. They believe in keeping the tariff wall as high as possible, notwithstanding the growth of extortionate monopolies. They believe it more important to keep up tne profits of the combined manufacturers than to keep down the prices to the people. Passage of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill of 1909 was the most outrageous assault of private interests upon the people recorded in tariff history. For Free Trade Where there can be shown to be no difference in labor cost I am for free trade. We ought to work toward a condition in which American enterprise, good management, clever and powerful machinery, intelligence and skill of the workers ■will enable us to have low cost of labor along with high wages to the laborer. But to return to my story: As soonas tho hearings were completed the committee divided and the Democratic members, led by Carlisle and Mills, discontinued their attendance. In doing this they were following the precendent set by the Republicans in the former Congress, when the Mills bill was being framed by a Democratic majority. In framing the measure each subcommittee reported and the bill was then drafted by the Republican members. I remember spending night after night with McKinley in his rooms in the Ebbitt House, going over, comparing and arranging the paragraphs of each schedule. One interesting feature of our deliberations was our various consultations with James G. Blaine. Blaine was a man of extraordinary personality, possessing those peculiarities of temperament and character which made him a great leader. I never was an ardent Blaine man. I always shared the Wis-

derstand that an experience In the life of a lad is often nothing more nor less than a mental experience. The older crew desires that the younger lot take up the burdens of the future. The old heads will not permit youth to be just youth. Old age folk love to worry about the world and tomorrow. While youth is youth its members tackle the is youth of the hour, but youth unconsciously Is ready for tomorrow. Gibbs permits his character to grow page by page and when the story Is told youth is supporting and protecting their parents from the horror of old age. That is natural and right. But youth actually trains Itself for such a mission In life, but the younger set will not admit It. Gibbs tells a real he-man's story. He does not shield the younger set because he knows the bunch. Things branded as crimes of youth often are invented by novelists. Gibbs is not guilty of that. He gives the boy and girl of today a chance to find themselves. He has drawn several characters which will live in your memory. The setting, of course, is England. The youngei* lot of that country is not different from your younger set. Newspaper Background And yet back of this engaging story is a strong newspaper background. The climax of the story is really centered upon the collapse of a powerful newspaper owner In England. It Is not youth that falls in this clash, but the older set. Some may accuse Gibbs of making only a defense of youth. I cannot agree to that as a basis of criticism. He puts more than a cigarette and a drink in the hands of his young people. Petting parties are not the chief concern of the majority of boys and girls. A rotter Is a rotter any place you find him. Gibbs puts living personality Into his characters. Gibbs has written a novel which will be one of the best sellers for months. It has thought and many splendid dramatic moments. There is sparkle and charm to this story. Read “Heirs Apparent” If you want to understand the so-called younger generation.

consin admiration for Sherman, and It was a disappointment to me when Blaine was nominated for the presidency. He was a man who had to be defended; and mant Republicans who were not infattlp ated with him were somewhat afraid of him. I remember especially one visit the Republican members of our committe paid to Blaine in his office as secretary of state. He weis not then in good health; the malady to which he finally succumbed had fastened upon him. His face was chalky white and as he talked I remember he leaned upon his desk. It was suggested by McKinley that he sit down. “No, no," he said. “I can’t talk when IsR down.” The only thing that did not look like death In his face was his brilliant black eyes. The McKinley tariff bill was a momentous measure. It aided In defeating the Republican party in 1892, but, when the reaction came, McKinley’s connection with it was largely instrumental in making him President of the United States. McKinley believed profoundly that the interests of the whole country, agricultural as well as manufacturing, were involved in

the maintenance of such duties as would Insure the protection of all articles which it was economically possible for us to produce in this country. That meant patriotism to him. It was a deep conviction, almost a religion, with him. No one who worked with him could doubt it. Offered Treasury Post A few months after his inauguration I received a telegram from President McKinley and also from Senator Spooner, offering me the position of controller of the treasury. It came out of a clear sky; I was 'not a candidate for any position under his administration, and I declined by telegraph. Later I called on him at the White House, explaining why I could not accept. We were then In the midst of the Wisconsin fight, and besides, I did not desire an appointive office. We sat on a lounge together and talked over our old days in Congress. He told me what his hopes and ambitions were as to extending our trade abroad; that In his selection of appointees in foreign missions and in the consular service he hoped to secure trained business men who were masters in the lines of trade which could be extended In the countries to which they were sent.

Every piece of machinery in this new plant is the latest development in ice cream making appliances. The new homogenizing machinery, new refrigerating machinery, new laboratory machinery, new pasteurizers and new modern eighty-quart freezers, all installed to make better ice cream to supply our many patrons.

It was McKinley’s greatest am- j bition, now that the country had reached its highest development under the protective system, with an excess of production demanding outlet, to round out his career by gaining for America a supremacy In the markets of the world, and this he hoped to do without weakening the protective system. During all the years that I was In Congress the stupendous problems which now confront us, and which will occupy us for a long time to come, had already begun to appear. I mean the problems of the trusts and the railroads; In short, the problems of vast financial power In private hands. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
