MEASURE NITS AT CITY TREASURERS Barrett Law Payments Subject of Bill. A bill designed to stop the practice of city treasurers pocketing interest from Barret law payment deposits in banks was introduced in the State Senate today by Senator Alldredge. The bill would require that all collections on assessments for street, alley, sewer or drain improvements be deposited daily in the city's name as trustee and that the city draw the interest. Present law makes the treasurer custodian of the funds and permits him to pocket the interest. Senator Barker introduced a measure to provide for election of town marshals, instead of appointment by town boards. Lochard of Milan, Democrat, introduced a measure to repeal the act of 1921. providing appointment of emergency deputy sheriffs. Emils OFCDLO WAVE Four Freeze to Death in New York City.

“Just Rub It On"
Croup Relieved Without Dosing Too much dosing is harmful to a child’s delicate stomach. Often it lays the foundation for ill health in later life. The next time a child seems croupy in the evening apply Vicks over throat and chest and cover with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the bedclothing loose about the neck so that the arising vapors may be freely inhaled. This usually prevents a night attack. If croup comes on without warning an application of Vicks usually brings relief in fifteen minutes. Vicks can be applied freely and often, even on the youngest child with perfect safety. \/ICKS W Varoßub Oven !7 Million Jans Useo Yearly

COURT BILL DEFEATED Senate Votes Against Making Change .of Venae Optional. A bill to make change of venue in civil cases discretionary on the part of the judge was killed in the Indiana Senate today by a rising vote of 30 to 13. All lawyers in the Senate, except Hodges, Gary, Republican, author of the bill, opposed it. “I don’t care whether this mandatory rule about changes of venue in civil cases has stood in Indiana sev-enty-five years, or 550 years,” said Hodges. “Most of the time it is used to delay justice. It takes one to seven years to try a civil case.” “Judges are human, and should not be allowed discretion in changes of venue,” said Senator Durham, Greencastle, Democrat. ‘SPEED’ BILL IS PASSED One of Three Acted on By House Increases Rural Limit. Representative Freeman’s bill increasing the speed limit on rural highways from twenty-five to thirtyfive miles an hour, was one of three bills passed by the House today. It received a vote of 86 to 11, following a short debate. Other bills passed: Kissinger, legalizing sheriff’s sales made under legal judgments; Clark of Marion, extending time for payment of Barrett lay payments sixty days. SCHOOL MEN ANXIOUS Superfntendens Anticipate Debate on County Unit. Many county school superintendents attended the General Assembly sessions today in anticipation of debate on the county unit educational measure. Justin Merriman, Bluffton, superintendent, said stand of county superintendents on the measure had not been determined because the bill takes power away from the township trustees, who elect the county superintendents. Superintendents will be elected in June.
