Woman Facing Revolver Frightens Bandits Away

Dog Gives Alarm—Oil Station Hold-up Is Frustrated. Sometimes it takes as much courage to scream as to fight, and Tuesday night when Mrs. Lon Brown, tilG E. Tenth St., looked out her window and saw a hold-up next door, she screamed valiantly although a bandit tried to step her with a gun. At the Standard Oil filling station, Tenth St. and Broadway, two men compelled Earl Biddinger, 2309 E. New York St., an attendant, to open t r e first door of a. safe in the station. It was then that Mrs. Brown started to scream. “I was watching the men,” she said, ‘‘my little dog, Dotty, gave the first alarm, growling. I saw the men slip past my window, approach the station cautiously, then hastily enter. One of them held a handkerchief to his face. Suddenly I saw Earl sink to his knees. He was in front of the safe. He bent forward and the men kept sort of punching into his sides. Then I leaned out of my window and called, police! police! Ran Towards Iler ‘‘The men looked over my way, but pushed down harder on Earl. 1 saw the safe door swing open, and then 1 simply shrieked That was too much for them. They ran out towards me and one of them came up close and pointed his gun right at my face. I didn't know but what he'd pull the trigger but ‘l'm not afraid of you. You’re hold-up men. Police!' I screamed right at him. He wavered for a minute, then ran.” The men, described ns young, well dressed and rather short, escaped through an alley. The outer door of the safe was opened but nothing was secured, ‘‘Half the credit belongs to Dotty, - ’ said Mrs. Brown. Two Negro bandits had slightly better luck than the two at the oil station. They secured 80 cents from Alexander Graham, IS, of 430 N. West St., when they held him up at Vermont and Toledo Sts. Fraternity House Burglarized Officers have the description of a burglar who works at homes where the doors are left unlocked, and who usually takes nothing but money. He is thought to be the man who burglarized the Sigma Delta Kappa house, 3210 N. Illinois St., Tuesdaynight. R. H. Bridley of that address said his trousers, purse and a check had been taken. The trousers were found in an alley. Other losers it the house were R. E. Cbenoweth, watch: Gerald Brown, $4, and Elton F. Leffier, $45, watch. Other robberies reported were: Brown- Meat Market, Blake and North Sts., meat and canned goods valued at s3l; Mrs. John F. Murphy, 3308 N. Illinois St., $l3O diamond ring taken about March 15, and Elizabeth Finchim Grocery, 412 N. Blake St.. 810.

INDIGESTION FROM MAR EATING Alabama Man, Whose Hours Are Irregular, Says He Prevents Indigestion by the Use of Black-Draught. “1 drive a car for hire,” says Mr. Ike Sabel, ot' Gadsden, Ala., ’’and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can’t have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to lake a laxative. "I had heard of Black Draught for a long time. The druggist told me Black Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. "1 have much better appetite after 1 take Black-Draught. 1 can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I can truthfully say I believe BlackDraught is all it is recommended to be and more. I would not be without it for double the price." Bating at irregular times frequently brings on digestive disorders that may become serious, and it is always best, to take your meals as regularly as possible A great many people, however, like Mr. Sabel, have occupations that prevent their keeping regular habits. Under such conditions, manjt persons say that th<a- have found the consistent use of Thedford's BlackDraught, the well-known vegetable liver medicine, to be of value to them in offsetting the bad effects of their irreg‘ularity. Try Black-Draught Sold everywhere. —Advertisement.

HEART THROBS IN RADIO Pulse of Five Men Broadcast by Minneapolis Station. II!l United n res MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 24. j —Heart beats of five men were distinctly heard by radio listeners In various localities of the Northwest last night, officials at radio station at WCO, where the experiment was conducted, said today. A special attachment of a stetscope and a three-tube amplifier made the heart throbs sufficiently to be broadcast. ** The sound reproduced by receiving apparatus was described by listeners as that of far away gushing of water through pipes. BEEKEEPERS AROUSED Charge Bill Designed to Demoralize Honey Industry. Indiana beekeepers are becoming somewhat alarmed over provisions of the Cole bill, which already has passed the United States Senate, legalizing the interstate shipment of honey containing corn sugar. Some apiarists declare the measure is backed by corn sugar interests and that it is being furthered in an effort to demoralize beekeeping as an industry. State Entomologist Frank N. Wallace, however, declared today that he saw no cause for alarm over the measure. State Food and Drug Commissioner I. L. Miller said the Federal food and drug act probably would prevent adulteration of bee-honey, even if the Cole bill passed. Wallace said he would study the measure.

SOFT WATER IS NECESSITY IN MODERN HOMES The old oaken bucket anil the well that it hung in are legends of the past. No more does anyone think of carrying water from the well, and hard water at that, to wash clothes or dishes. Just as ready running water facilities became necessities in {he modern plumbing of every house, so the automatic water softener has now come to take its place as an added factor for better and cleaner living. The Capital Plumbing Company, 3364 N. Capitol Ave., finds the demand for automatic water softeners and heaters ever on the irwrease. Beautiful new homes going Up all over Indianapolis are not completed until this service has been installed and home owners realize the immense satisfaction of this new everyday convenience. The softeners are made so the hard water is softened by being pumped through purifying, mineral sands. The water heaters are so connected with the softeners that for hot water, the softened water is pumped through the heater. The Capital Plumbing Company has just installed such conveniences in the home of George Young, 4123 N. Capitol Ave. A heater was recently installed in homes at 5147 Kenwood Ave., and 5154 N. Illinois St.

Beauty Found in Both Exterior and Interior of English House

New home of W. E. McKee

The house beautiful certainly’ is the most appropriate description for tho lovely home of \V. E. McKee, located on the northwest corner of Meridian and Forty-Ninth Sts., which shortly’ will be finished by its creater, H. L. Simons & Cos. Tho house sits back upon a grass terrace 125 feet from the street, and those who walk from the street to the solid walnut door of the main entrance will have in their mind's eye the satisfying vision of an English house created of varying shaded brick and stone, and stained halftimber trim. The north half of the lower floor is taken up with a hall, dining room and kitchen. TITb dining room bay windows look out upon the tost and high windows at the north help light the room effectively.

Plastered Walls Tinted All over the house the plastered walls are tinted and panelled. They will lend- themselves as a striking background for bright hangings and pictures. A rich ornamental plaster fresco of-fruit and leaves about six inches wide trims the walls and ceilings. Connected with the dining room by swinging door is the dove-gray-and-white kitchen. Following into a fear hall way, we find at the right a little breakfast room in harmony with the kitchen. The basement stairs lead from this hallway also. The basement, divided into three sections of laundry room, drying room, and furnace room, is complete with fruit and storage closets and toilet room. The other end of the little rear hall runs into a pleasing small den with a grained eiling, variegated tile floors and walnut wood trim, and bool#case. It is connected with the main hall by glass doors.

Open on Terrain French doors at the east of the big living room, opening on to the Jiled terrace, will admit the morning sunshine, and the inward swinging casement windows at the west will catch the last lingering rays of daylight. Between the French doors is a huge cast-stone fireplace with a wide border design of wild grapes and leaves. At the extreme south end of she room are glass doors opening Into the sun room, with its tiled floor. At its west end the sun room opens onto the porch, connecting with tho porte cocherc and driveway. But upstairs we find charm itself The three leaded glass windows of the wide landing light the targe hall, from which three bedrooms, the rear hallway and the main bathroom open. The principal bedroom lies directly’ above the living room and is very nearly the same size. It has paneled walls tinted a delicate green, and east and west windows, as downstairs. A large stone fireplace is one of its most attractive features. Behind a tinted green door Is the shower room in pale yellow tile. A wide tiled ledge jutting out In front in a bay and lighted by three little windows, forms the shower room's chief charm. Another ledge with three large drawers beneath It will have a mirror hanging above it soon. Another door In this bedroom leads into a narrow hallway into which a closet, a storage closet and a bright, cheerful little sunroom with cream walls open. Lavender Room

The lavender bedroom, in the northeast corner of the upstairs is lovely in the extreme. The five French windows, which form the bay at the front give the room n delightful piquancy. Connecting the lavender bedroom with the more mannish buff-colored bedroom is a rose-tiled toilet room. In the buff
