Indiana legislators returning to ■the Seventy-Fifth General Assembly this afternoon face a week of legislation which will Include consideration of some of the most important measures that have been thus far -'■onsidered. WCfe-.% luxury tax bill, backed by the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, will be one of three tax measures to be introduced. The bill will establish a, tax on cigarets, cigars and cosmetics and on tickets to games and other amusements.

Under the terms of the proposed measure cigarettes would be taxed 2 cents a package; cigars from 25 cents to $1 a hundred and cosmetics at the rate of 10 per cent of the selling price. Tickets will also receive a 10 per cent tax. President William H. Settle of the farm federation today announced that he expected the bill to be introduced jointly in the House and Senate this week, probably on Tuesday. SLAIN IN PISTOL DUEL Man Is Dead, Two Others and Woman Wounded During Brawl.

Health Ruined By Constipation Tells How He Got Quick Relief. No Sign of Trouble Now. Every sufferer from stomach and liver trouble will welcome the good news in a letter written by Paul D. Bragdon, 1523 Cedar St., Anderson, Ind. He tells how he regained his health, appetite and weight, as follows: “For five years I, suffered with liver trouble and constipation. My bowels were so sluggish they would hardly act more than once a week. My complexion was yellow and I was all run down. My appetite was poor and I had a disgust for food most of the time. I went down to 136 pounds and my vitality was so low I just had no pep at all. I felt lazy and wanted to sleep all the time. I tried different medicines and nothing did me any good. Then a relative recommended Viuna. Before I had taken half a bottle I felt better, and by the time I had taken the second bottle I had gained 4 pounds and could eat anything, had a good, healthy appetite and was feeling fine. All that drowsiness was gone and I would get up in the morning full of pep. It has been three months since I bought my first bottle of Viuna, and I believe I can truthfully say that lam entirely well. I have gained 20 pounds, and never felt better in my life.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you're not glad you tried Viuna, your money will he refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The vegetable regulator

Woman Encounters Three Sea Crashes Bu United Press BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 31.—A woman who evaded death in both the Titanic and Lusitania disasters was among the passengers of the White Star liner Celtic, rammed by a freighter Saturday off Fire Island. “My customary luck on the Atlantic seems to be following me,” smilingly remarked Mrs. Christopher Murray, wife of a naval lieutenant, on her arrival here. After hasty repairs, the Celtic sailed today for Liverpool. The Celtic was rammed by the American Diamond Line freighter Anaconda in a dense fog while the liner was en route to Boston on her voyage to England. Most of the 252 passengers were in the dining salons at the time and no one was hurt, STATE BAR READ AT MASS MEETING California Speaker to Be Heard at Murat Theater. W. A.

THE SEQUEL TO SONIA

BEGIN HERE TODAY SONIA, the young wife of Dr. Don Stillwater, became jealous of her husband when she inadvertently learns that he formerly was engaged to— ELAINE WALLACE, stylish wife of Stillwater's partner. DU. ROBERT WALLACE. „ „„ Through ESTHER LANE, stenographer in the office. Sonia also learns that Dr. Wallace is somewhat of a flirt, and attracts many of his women patients. DR. STILLWATER takes Sonia to a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco for dinner. Later she soliloquises on the fart he was engaged to another before their marriage. Sonia thinks Don is ill. because he is not looking well- and calls ou Dr. Wallace for advice. She receives no satisfaction from Wallace, who tries to flirt with her. She rune across Stillwater and Elaine Wallace in a restaurant later and is filled with conflicting emotions. On the night, of their wedding anniversary. Elaine phones, calling Don away as they are about to go out and celebrate. He returns with a gift nicked out by Elaine. Later at the Wallaces Elaine accuses Sonia of calling her husband by phone and then denying it. Sonia receives a letter from Franklin Crane, an old sweetheart, saying he is coming to San Francisco. Sonia fears Don’s love for her is waning and decides to leave home to live with Jinny of Jed ThomaB 1 office. Sonia refuses any financial assistance from Don. Jinny tells Sonia she is in love with a married man. who proves to be Dr. Wallace. A young salesman. Stephen Sessenger. in the office of Jed Thomas, is interested in Sonia. Franklin Crane finds Sonia back at work. He waits for her at noon and reminds her of the past. Sonia meets Don while out walking with Stephen. The sight of him with the pained look about his eyes caused her to swoon. Don calls on her and insists on her taking a rest. Sonia was thinking of the pleasant -evening spent with Stephen when he suddenly caught her violently in his arms. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXV Things happened rapidly after that. Sonia slipped into the old jargou. “Don’t! Let me alone.” Conscious of a need for dignity, she added, "I am surprised at you.” He released her slowly. “I’m sorry ...” “I should think you would be.” Ilis tone smoothed her ruffled composure somewhat but she intended t.o punish him. “I suppose because I’m married you think I’m fair game.” “Don’t say that—!” She continued, cruelly, “No doubt you figure that a married woman who steps out without her husband must be more or less wild.” "I figure nothing of the kind,” he denied, hotly. “Asa matter of fact I wasn’t sure you had a husband and your being married doesn’t mean a thing to me.” “No? Well, it should.” Ho repeated sulkily: “I’m sorry. You seem to think this was all premeditated on my part. But it wasn’t. I am as surprised as you are.” Something hurt and boyish in his tone roused her compassion. Perhaps it had been sheer impulse, instantly regretted. So she said, “All right! I accept your explanation.” “I’m afraid you’re angry ...” She explained, patiently, that she wouldn’t be angry if he would promise never, never, to do it again. The romantic episode, far from increasing her excitement, killed it completely. She felt tired and rather old when htrleft her at the door of the apartment. “Stephen Sessenger, check!” she sighed, crawling into bed. But fate had a way of replacing her periods with commas, putting periods where she had longed, for at least the frail hope of dots . . . She thought, drowsily, that she really had little to say about her own life’s punctuation. The week that followed was unimportant. Seven days! That was all. Stephen telephoned on Sunday to ask if he might call, but Sonia pleaded a previous engagement. She was under the anesthetic again. It was more comfortable than the accutely sensitive condition into which she had been forced by the shock of seeing Franklin Crane. At least he suffered Less,

Jinny, also, was living in a state of aimless monotony. She said she was trying to take Sonia’s advice. “ I can’t promise a thing if I see him,” she warned. “But I will stay away from his office.” By the end of the second week she was so cross that Sonia almost regretted her decision. And Jinny’s careless habits had become a source of continued annoyance. She decided that sooner or later she would have to move into a-pia'ce of her own. It could scarcely be less attractive. When Stephen, apparently much chastened, asked to call a second time, she permitted him to come. He had acquired a car and took both girls for a ride. In spite of the car’s humble make and Jinny’s disdain, (Bob drove a Packard) they returned invigorated. When he had gone, Sonia said, “He’s rather sweet, Jinny, why don’t you fall for him?” “Fall for that kid?” snorted Jinny. “Well, how old are you?” “TWenty-one.” “Stephen is almost 24.” “His youth is not my only objection. He’s too considerate. Too sympathetic.” “In other words you prefer to have them treat you rough and tell you nothing.” “Absolutely!” “Not such an asset in a husband, darling.” “Pooh,” sniffed Jinny, “Who wants a husband? Not me, old thing! Not me!” On Saturday Stephen asked them to go a “movie.” Sonia thought it generous of him to include Jinny. Generous or clever! Because if he hadn’t she had made up her mind not to go. But while they were dressing the telephone rang. “Answer it, Sonia.” “Won’t be for me.” When she took down the receiver Bob’s voice asked for Jinny. Without a word she passed the telephone to the other girl. Watching the color run up into her cheeks like mercury in a thermometer, placed in an overheated room. “I’ve been busy,” Jinny managed to answer. Her next remark was not so good. .“Oh, Bob,,you know better than that.” Sonia frowned. Why wou’dn’t Bob play with women of his own class, who understood the evasions and half-surrenders necessary for harmless Intrigue? She decided, shrewdly, that Jinny’s charm for him probably lay in the fact that she was so obviously not playing. “I have a date, but perhaps I can beg off.” “No, you can’t,” whispered Sonia, furiously. But Jinny, dizzy with the mere sound of Bob’s voice after two weeks’ silence, ignored her friends objections. “Now don’t get sore,” she cried, turning from the telephone with a face like a wild rose. "Darling, I can’t help it. If I knew I would be burned at the stake tomorrow, I’d have let him come. I can’t break it off all at once. He’s hurt. He doesn’t understand.” “Oh, poppycock!” Sonia retorted, angrily. Yet she was conscious of a sneaking sympathy. For a year ago if it had been Franklin who called, no amount of warning could have prevented her from seeing him. She departed for her engagement, leaving Jinny fluttering about the apartment. “He -said we wouldn’t stay here. We’d go for a ride.” “All right. Stephen will hate you and I shan’t blame him.” Jinny laughed. Easy to laugh when

she was to see her lover in half an hour, “Steve will probably present me with a box of candy tomorrow. Tell him I’m particular and to make it a big one.” Stephen took the news, philosophically. “Too bad," he grinned. “Certainly is tough on you.” Later “That girl has a lot of sudden engagements. What’s she doing anyway? Pulling a mystery stunt?” So, even unconsciously, Jinny was “doing her stuff.” Sonia replied, wickedly, “You’d be surprised. More than one man has tried to solve the secret of Jinny.” He smiled. “Lay off, my dear, lay oc. Do I really look that dumb?” Which she thought was rather clever of him. Sonia enjoyed the evening more than any they spent together. Perhaps because she was more accustomed to his youthful ways. Perhaps because Stephen had qualities that grew upon her. His lack of conceit, his boyish interest in events and people, his instant perception of her change of mood. ... ' “You’re tired. Would you rather ride for a while?” His childlike faith in the ultimatevictory of the beautiful and good. All these things made their appeal. When they parted it was with a feeling of mutual good will. He asked, “Will you let me see you occasionally, if I continue to be awfully good?” Sonia nodded. As she unlocked the door she heard the telephone ringing ly(To Be Continued)

CHIROPRACTORS TO FIGHTJMEASURE Resolutions Condemn Huffman Medical Bill. Resolutions condemning the Huffman medical bill which will be considered for third reading in the Indiana House of Representatives today were adopted by chiropractors in a State meeting at the Denison, Sunday. The Huffman measure was introduced to strengthen the present medical supervision law. In an effort to mollify chiropractors who had a bill introduced to create a State board of chiropractic, amendments were adopted providing one of seven members be a chiropractor. Fear was expressed Sunday that the six doctors on the board never would agree with the one chiropractor as to what was a recognized school of chiropractic, and in that manner legislate them out of practice. A lively fight is expected when the bill is called down for third reading. Speakers at the meeting were Dr. Bert W. Lewis, Anderson, for the Indiana Drugless Association and Dr. E. R. Debout, Dr. Frank J. Wright, Dr. Harry E. Vedder, Dr. William Ellery and Dr. Harry Loor all of Indianapolis

SEEK MURDERER • ATROCHESTER Man Found Dead With Bullet in Heart. Bli United Prrxs ROCHESTER, Ind., Jan. 31. Fulton County authorities today sought a clew to the, identity of the murderer of Ray Flynn, 31, a butcher, whose bullet-pierced body was found on a little-traveled road near Rochester. Lawrence Ketchmark, high school basketball player, discovered the body as he was returning from a game at Crawfordsville. The killing of Flynn was the first murder in Fulton County in twenty-one years. Flynn was arrested about two weeks ago in East Chicago in company with two 16-year-old Rochester high school girls. Their parents, however, declined to prosecute, and Flynn was released. Last week he was arrested on contempt of court charges for failure to pay support money to his wife and two children, and was released from jail Wednesday. Authorities said Flynn had been questioned in the investigation of the recent theft of a stock of furs from a local store. Flynn’s body was cold when found, indicating death had occurred several hours before. He was shot through the heart. Charles Bonaparte, a small-town lawyer of Corsica, was the father of four kings. They were Napoleon I, Joseph, king of Naples; Louis, king of Holland, and Jerome, king of Westphalia.
