SURVEYS SHOW BUSINESS GAIN Increase Over January Last Year Reported. Bv United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March I. January business in Indiana, as evidenced by eighteen leading lines, showed an increase of 1 per cent above the month of 1926, and was only 5 per cent below the level of December, 1926. This was disclosed here today in a report on State-wide conditions prepared by Prof. L. D. Edie. head of the Indiana University Bureau of Business Research, for the Indiana Business Review, published by the Fletcher American National Bank. The report points out that industrial production in Indiana, in harmony with production throughout the country, showed a sharp de cline in January. The Indiana production curve during January was 2 per cent below normal, the chief sources of the decline being building contracts, stone production and pig iron production. Electricity and coal production constituted the sources of activity this month. “Large increases of over 10 per cent were shown by coal production, electricity production, building permits, new car registrations and life insurance sales,’’ says Professor Edie. “More moderate increases of less than 10 per cent were made by bank debits, postoffice increases, sales of chain drug stores, department store sales and freight car loadings.” UNITED CAB SUES CITY Damage suit asking SIO,OOO from the ctiy and the board of safety was filed in Circuit Court Monday afternoon by officials of the United Cab Company. The complaint charges that enforcement of the “no parking” ordinance is causing the company to lose money. The ordinance which gives firms and individuals the right to obtain licenses for exclusive use of certain street sections for parking along the curb is attacked. It is charged that these rights are resold by the original applicants.

STEPHEN SESSENGER. in the office of Jed Thomas, is interested in Sonia. Don is led to believe that Sonia is accepting attention from Wallace and in an angry mood calls on her and accuses her. As long as Don thinks she is a ilirt, she decides to play that kind of a game. Sonia dines and dances with Stephen She was thinking of the pleasant evening spent with him when he suddenly caught her violently in his arms. Sonia then talks matters over with him_/m<i refuses to have any more engagt*!Snte with him. She tells him she loves het husband.

Sonia was frantic when the hab.v has a sligh temperature. She telephones Don. but lie sends Bob Wallace. Sonia blameDon for the death of their son. She feels that she has nothing left in life and refuses to mingle with old friends. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLIX Sonia decided to make herself adhere to the same program she would have followed if she had never had a child. In the succeeding week she went swimming, she had lunch with Jinnyshe shopped and went to the theater. And at first none of these things gave her any pleasure. They were duties only, in the midst of her swimming tears would come to her eyes. Many times the old, hopeless sense of futility swept over her. Yet, eventually, she was rewarded by steadied nerves, and the secret satisfaction of knowing she was succeeding, if not with Don, at least in the discipline of her own excessive emotionalism. Once more the flat glowed with the touch of loving hands, flowers brightened the breakfast table, and

W. H. Stearn Gains 15 lbs. Appetite Keen As Razor Respected Indianapolis carpenter suffered agony for six years. Could not eat or sleep. Weak, wornout and discouraged. Now, at 67, enjoys good health, exudes good cheer, enthusiasm and energy. Gives full credit to Tanlac.

Mr. W. H. Stearn lives at 1211 No. Oakland Avenue, Indianapolis. At 6J years he works steadily as a journeyman carpenter, meetihg the competition of men half his age, and holding his otv‘n with the best. .But for six years he had a different story to tell. Here it is, in his own words: “I was so rundown from indigestion that my system was completely shattered. When a big conract obliged me to speed up and work overtime, my day’s work almost killed me. Sometimes X was actually too weak to raise my hammer or pull my saw. My head and back ached terribly, and when I tried to bend over my head whirled and I was too weak to stand on my feet. Constipation and sluggish liver bothered me and my hand trembled from nervousness. At night I tossed and rolled In bed. Though my work demands plenty of food, my appetite was shot to pieces and 1 hardly ate enough to keep body and soul together. “Tanlac helped ,me so that I 'now eat and sleep -normally again. I’m as energetic as a man of 35 or 40 and don’t have to ask odds of younger men. My appetite is like the keen edge cf a freshly honed

she sat, daintly attractive behind the coffee pot. Yet Don maintained the same taciturn aloofness. It was over a month since Jean had gone. Sonia’s heart ached to see him so white and tired, absorbed in his profession but sick with loneliness. At last she decided to play her last card. If she lost she would tell him what Jean had done and give him up to her. But her heart pleaded, passionately, that she would not lose! What had once been so entirely hers could surely be won again. When he returned at midnight, he found her curled up In his bed. “What’s the idea?” he asked, uneasily. She sat up, looking more child than woman, with her straight black hair and simple, cream-colored gown. “Don Stillwater, come here!” Rather grimly, he sat on the edge of the bed. Sonia put her arms around his neck and kissed him. “Darling, I love you. Put me second, third, any place you please in your life, but I need you.” He said nothing, staring over her head with dark, troubled eyes. Fear stabbed at her heart. He was thinking of Jean. “O, Doh!” she cried, and her voice broke. His hand closed about her trembling fingers. “My dear,” he said simply, “I’ve been very lonely.” She had forgotten the tenderness of those strong fingers. Her eyes closed. She felt the freshness of a cool breeze against her eyelids, then a glorious sense of satisfied belief. Her baby was there. She seemed to feel the nearness of his happy little spirit. “O, Don,” she whispered, “do you feel that he is near us?” “Yes, Sonia, I have felt it from the first. . . As his arm closed tightly about her the telephone rang. Don answered and hung up quickly. “Have to go, honey....” He was half way to the door before he remembered to come back and kiss her. “I’m sorry.” She whispered, “Run along, darling. I’ll wait...” It occurred to her as the door slamrped that she would always be waiting. Continuous delays, deferred hopes, heartbreaking disappointments, these were to be her life. But were there not monotony and disappointments In every profession? And wasn’t he hers?... She lay, relaxed and drowsy, until presently she seemed to feel again the dear weight of a baby’s head
