LAST NEARING ON SEWER SATURDAY peasant Run Project in Circuit Court. Final hearing on the proposed SBOO,OOO Pleasant Run main interterceptor sewer will be held Saturday at 9 a. m. before Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. The board of works ordered th3 Improvement, pending for months. Circuit Court has jurisdiction over the plan, because part of the costs will be assessed against property outside the city. According to city attorney. John K. Ruckelshaus, plans were revived as a result of the change in the statute governing the sewer construction by the last Legislature. Under old iaw there was some ques tion of the city's authority to build the sewer. . Mrs. Carl Wagner, 6744 E.

THIS MY LUCKY DAY, SAYS TIMES PEARL GIRL

This is “Hoodoo'’ day—Friday the thirteenth! Some folks think it’s unlucky, but

In each month of 1927 The Times has reached new high levels of net paid circulation. In City circulation, in Home Delivered circulation and in Total circulation The Times is offering to advertisers a larger portion of this market than ever before. These changes do not just happen. People do not buy more of any product they do not like. Back of this steady increase of Times circulation are some very definite reasons. The people of Indianapolis and Indiana are demonstrating that they approve of a courageous and independent editorial policy—that they enjoy reading a concise yet complete newspaper and in addition to interesting features they want their news of local events without bias or color.

resentative handed the mother an order for S2OO worth of Add-a-Pearls which Mrs. Stair had won for Mary Catherine. ~ “Sort of a coincidence, this thirteenth element,” said Mrs. Stair, laughing, “for It was thirteen pearls strung on a necklace and which I lost for Mary Catherine some time ago that brought all this about. I felt terrible about losing them and I guess I might have believed ip that thirteen jinx just about that time.” Beaten at First "It was not on Friday, but I do believe it was on the thirteenth of March that I read about The Times' pearl story contest and the thought came to me,‘Perhaps I can replace Mary Catherine's pearls by writing a Times’ pearl story.’ Unfortunately, I selected poetry as my medium. That barred me from winning in the story contest, but I started in getting Times subscribers, which was part of the ‘A dd-A-Pearl offer. Intensely Enthusiastic ”1 soon became Intensely enthusiastic as each Times subcriber I got meant another dollar pearl to be added to my girlie’s necklace. I hardly dared dream I’d receive the big prize, though, which means that I got more Times subscribers than anybody else who entered the contest, and I almost fell over when The Times’ representative handed me the order for S2OO worth of pearls today. No, Friday the 13th isn’t unlucky—we're sure of that, aren’t we?” asked Mrs. Stair, and her small daughter, a pupil of School 66, nodded a vigorous affirmative. Not All She Gets The necklace of oriental pearls isn’t all that Mary Catherine will receive through her mother’s efforts.

The Times sent the poem written by Mrs. Stair to the Add-a-Pearl company in Chicago. The author received an Immediate letter of appreciation, an assurance that the poem was to be used in a nationally circulated brochure and accompanying it were twenty more pearls for Mary Catherine. “All together, I’ve concluded It was mighty lucky that I lost my girlie’s thirteen pearls that day,” commented Mrs. Stair. LYING GIRL FAILS IN HORROR STORY Flowing from a child mind, a horrifying story to gain sympathy, was blasted Dy police Thursday night. A girl, 11, was found by Patrolman Spcaris at Paris Ave. and Fall Creek Blvd. late Thursday. She said a Negro seized her and pulled her into his auto, tied her hands, gagged her, tore her clothing in an attempted attack, freed her and drove away. City hospital doctors, said she was uninjured. The story began to unfold. A father came to headquarters for aid in search for a daughter. The names tallied. He told how his wife had reprimanded the daughter for taking money from a savings bank. She told her that her father was to learn about it when he returned. The girl went to school there said she was going to drown herself. ’’.'.’ir. > still preserved in the cellars of fl' ' >:i (Idler dates back to 1540 and J 631. •TfiiE'H

DR. W. a. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, It seemed that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the- cause of nearly all children's little ills, ho did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic" I was necessary. In Dr. .Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity” even if the child is chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy
