HAND Y HUBB Y PUTS *TRAINING TO TEST Wives Say Vocational Experience Given School Boys Helps Keep House in Order.

“Ed. I do wish you'd help me put up this curtain rod. And you can drive a few nails in the pantry so I’ll have more room to hang things. Then you can put up some more hooks in the clothes press. My good ness, if you'd help a little this house wouldn’t look so terrible.’* And Mrs. I. X. Dianapolis wishes on her husband a few of the responsibilities of being head of a household. drags him away from his pipe and liouse-slippers, and puts him to work. Asa rule, father is perfectly able to mend things around the house, once he gets started. This fact is borne out by inquiry into the domestic affairs of a number of Indian apolis business men. Most of them attribute their ability to handle saw and hammer and screw-driver to their early vocational training in Indianapolis schools, it was revealed. “Dan isn't what you would call an expert,” said Mrs. I). W. Flicklnger, 4211 Broadway, “but he's pretty good. He cs.n do lots of things around the house that way. repair bookcases and flower boxes. He calls himself a ‘botch’ carpenter, but he does pretty well.” Flickinger was formerly a student under Harry director of vocational • !u> t of Indianapolis schools “When a man gets married, he has to do some little things around the house or else hire it done." said Ray W. Bowman, Greenfield l.ane. “and vocational training in school enables him to adapt himself to it readily. “Why, I’ve got a mail box I carved when I was in the seventh grade that it would take a whole lot of money to buy. Then I have a taboret which we use for a flower stand. Tou bet your life vocational education is a fine thing." Bowman attended grade school at Irvington. “Yes indeed.” said Mrs. Carl Bretz man Jr., 5124 Park Ave., when asked if vocational education had contributed to her husband's ability to "fix” things. “He can mend things and keep them in tip-top shape.” A. G. Mueller. 215 W. FortyFourth St., druggist, went to School 9 under Wood. "Vocational education is undoubtedly a fine thing,” he said. “It teaches one to know how to keep things in repair.” Edgar J. Moyer. 1712 E. Washington St., said. “My training in vocational work In the grade schools furnished an incentive to keep me interested in school work. I took up manual training in high school and after graduation I was able to advance rapidly In factory work.” Moyer has been foreman at the Marmon factory and at present, in

$ mo op BODY OF GIANT Scientists Interested in Prehistoric Finding, By Time* Special BRANDSVILLE, Mo.. Dec. 25. Archaeologists arc much interested In the recent discovery here of what seem to be parts of the body of a petrified man of giant stature. Many traces of a prehistoric race have been found in the Ozarks which have enabled scientists to study the onetime inhabitants of this section of the country. It is believed that the petrified body of the giant was thrown up by a volcanic eruption in the past, which severed the body into she pieces which are now being gathered together. The rocks were found on the farm of B. E. Kingen. late of Elsinore. Mo., in a timber patch one and onehalf miles southeast of Brandsvilie. West Plains physicians who evamined the rocks state that the muscles and blood vessels are plainly outlined on the part which are. thought undoubtedly to be the petrified stature. Ball and socket joints, thought to be the shoulders of the man. also have been found. OM\|ADA TRADE LARGER Exports to l\ S. Increase Substantially During Year By Time* Special BERLIN*.

GIBBONS \TA Servier Writer CHICAGO, Deo. 25. —Thirty years ; ago a horse doctor of Taylorvllle. 111., was offered SSOO if he could cure a ! cancer on a circus pony's eye. Undertaking the job, he treated S ihe eye with a yellowish salve, suc'ot ssfully removing the. malignant growth. Subsequently the veterinary’, whose name was Hoxie. began to use the preparation on men and women raneer suffprers. | At least this If the story' back of ; a cancer cure Dr. Bruce Miller, medi- ; cal director of the National Cancer | Research Institute, has brought to the attention of medical authurij ties. Dr. Miller says he obtained the ’ formula several years ago from | Hoxle’s son, a Taylorvil.'e coal miner, ito whom the father had passed it : down Just prior to his death. Conducting Clinics Now The preparation is being used now jln clinics at West End Hospital under direction of prominent physi- ' cians. Introduction of the treatment in ! Chicago has brought down on the :heads of Dr. Miller and his associ- | ates the condemnation of the Ameri- ! can Medical Association, which brands it just a variation of the old itime arsenical esrharotie of a cen|turv ago. An eseharotic is a eaus- , tic agent used to burn away unI healthy tissues. i Dr. Miller, of course, denies this. * He points to an authenticated bookful of cases that have hecn cured •with, his cancer-killing preparation. I Supporting Dr. Miller’s claims is a little coterie of doctors who insist Dr. Miller's cure Is both practical | and sane, and far more effective ! than radium. X-ray or the knife. One of them. Dr Thomas F. Lynam, a physician of long practice in Chicago, was himself formerly a sufferer from a cancer on the loft leg. He declares he was cured by the mystic salve last summer after medical colleagues hud proposed to amputate his leg as a last resort.

‘THE WASP’S’ DAUGHTER FLUTTERS ON BROADWAY

By A’F.4 Service, rTTj HTW YORK, Dec. 25.—1 t lIN | has been said that an odd or romantic story can he written, sooner or later, about, any of the lithe-limbed army that makes up the choruses of Broadway. Am} the time has come when Lucilla Mendez momentarily can leave her place as “last girl in the right’’ to furnish another chapter. The event that makes this posibl is the death in exile at tsan Juan do Porto Rico of C’ipriano Castro. colorful South American despot, who won such names as “the stormy petrel of the Caribbean,” "the Mon of the Andes” and “the wasp.” Fiften years ago it seemed that Castro, then president of Venezuela, would bring half of Europe down upon his neck because he chose to confiscate property of foreigners from many lands. But then fortune changed. His socretury seized his office while lie was n Paris and when he returned to h!s native land he was forced Into exile to escape death. Tlie cables told of Castro's death, but It was not recorded that upon that night his daughter, Lucilla, was seeking Broadway success, Which is to say that she was kicking away industriously in "My Girl," anew jazz show. She didn’t know until she sat In a coffee house, after the drop of the final curtain, reading an early edition of a newspaper, “I haven't seen my father since I was young," she recited later. "My mother and he quarreled and there was a divorce, h remarried, but we often heard from him. “They say he has a great deal of money hidden away. If it Is true I will try to make claim. But to go back— my mother and I had been used to luxuries and it wasn’t easy to start out to make a living. My freinds said I was funny and I could dance, so I broke into the chorus. “Now I like it and they tell me I’m on my way up. I don’t think I would ever want to go back to that old Spanish life, no matter what my father's death might bring me.”

his heart stop beating was killed by Dr. Miller’s preparation. Numerous other cases equally as striking have been presented. For proof of these cures Dr. Miller has to show a long array of bottlrs in which are preserved the rancorous growths extracted from tic patient's bodies. Dr. Miller says he will cure earlier patients frrtm any part of the country if they will but come to Chi- ■ i-ago and undergo his treatment, reI gardless of whether they are able to pay him. There is one form of cancer, however, that Dr. Miller will not attempt

Koch no had hea rd of Short ridge's work in nature study and presented the bird to the museum already mounted. Third is shown a black crowned night heron from Bacon's swamp. Fourth is an osprey, which was obtained when it was catching itsli along White River. Ospreys are often seen along the river in tiio early spring. The central is a bald eagle, killed at.

OIL TANKS FATAL 10 WHO DUCKS

Thousands Perish In Unusual Manner, By Time* Special SHREVEPORT. La, Dec. 25. Tho drought in Louisiana is resulting in tlio death of thousands of wild ducks in a manner somewhat unusual. North Louisiana is dotted with giant earthen tanks to store crude nil from the Arkansas and Louisiana fields and with most of tho small lakes and marshes dry, and minor streams little more than brooks, ducks arriving from the North are mistaking the oil tanks for water and alighting in them. They never rise again, for the thick oil permeates their feathers, making it impossible for them to. Thousands are succumbing in the tanks, while others, after struggling to the edges, flop over to tho ground and die. Similar conditions existed on the Ouachita River when the stream was covered with waste oil from the Arkansas fields. The ducks upon settling In the water were covered with the oil. Residents captured many and attempted to wash away the oil with gasoline and other fluids but the remedy in every instance resulted fatally. I .aw Against T.a ugh ter MANILA.
