CITY ORDERED ♦TO BUY HIGHER PRICEDJOODS Collins Warned of Law’s Provision by Sales Agent . for State Merchandise, If City Purchasing Agent John J. Collins heeds a warning to obey the State purchasing law, Indianapolis taxpayers will pay more for some supplies for city institutions than they do now. Henry A. Roberts, State sales agent, citing a ruling of Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom that the law was applicable to cities, pointed out to Collins the provision that whoever violates it may be fined from SIOO to SI,OOO and removed* from office. The law requires that governmental units of Indiana in need of any supplies manufactured at Indiana State Prison, Indiana State Reformatory, Indiana State Farm or any other, State institution where manufacture is carried on, must buy from those institutions. Two Cities Out of Step Roberts said that all units except Evansville and Indianapolis were complying with the law. While doubting that the city could be compelled to buy from State institutions when it could purchase more cheaply in the opdh Collins declared that he into comply with the law. Collins said he had looked over Roberts’ catalogue and conferred with him'and Mayor Duvall on the subject. “I only find a few articles which We coud use,” he said. Intends to Comply "We intend-to comply with the law in every detail, but I had been advised in a legal opinion that purchase of State goods Was optional with out department,” said. "In many ways it is impractical and would not be a cent cheaper and in some cases more expensive for us to buy the State goods. Besides we do not buy much of the goods offered.” "For instance, we buy twenty-four-ounce mops at $4.90 a dozen, while the catalogue lists the same weight mop at $7.30 a dozen,” Collins said. Collins recently bought dish toweling for 12 cents a yard, while the State asked 17 cents to 23 cents, he said. Pillows are quoted at $2. The city recently bought 100 for city hospital for $1.15 each.

Bravery was required for the Hinde-Todd Company, Chicago, to file petition for a stock issue which must be reviewed for approval by Frank Wright, author of the "bonedry” law. The company wants permission to issue $200,000 in preferred stock, funds to be used for a factory at Delphi, Ind., which will use corn “synthetically^” When Wright saw that synthetic corn idea right in the prospectus,

he scrutinized it closely. But he found that the product was to be solid (wallboard), riot liquid (mule). The idea of the concern is to make wallboard from cornstalks, purchased afc‘ $6 a ton. There will be about two tons an acre it is estimated. It was pointed out that this would be a more profitable way for farmers to unload fields infested with cornborer. The ultimate approval of the stock is up to Securities Commissioner David Jennings.

Savage, national commander, today informed Kleber Hadley of Indianapolis, department France convention officer for this State. “In order to accommodate hundreds who could not be surte at first they could go,” said National Commander Savage, “we extended the time of receiving reservations. But physical limitations in handling the many details of caring for such reservations makes it absolutely necessary for us to set July 15, as the final closing date.

Girls Buy Engagement Rings to Give Boys

Is This Final Straw to Break Camel’s Back of Male Pride? - j BY ELDORA FIELD The hard-boiled cynic of a decade ago who has lived to assert mournfully that his prediction women would wear pants, clip their hair, smoke cigars in public, drink and swear at golf clubs has come true today may add: Indianapolis girls are giving men engagement rings. Not that the girls have exempted fiances from the costly custom of furnishing a solitaire, but the good old days when an “engaged man” had nothing to mark him when he wanted to trifle a bit are numbered. The girls are putting the label on him, even as someone years ago thought up the brilliant idea of putting a physical halter on married men in the double-ring ceremony

ftt WE SAY IT WITH VALUES .jUJftk

The masculine engagement ring fad started in the East not long ago. Indianapolis jewelers report that the custom has gained a foothold here, sales of * men’s engagement rings during the past June being brisk enough to merit mention. The custom isn’t really new. Roman copies centuries ago sealed their intended unions when the bride-elect gave the future groom a heavy gold band. Reginald W. Garstang, secretarytreasurer of Julius C. Walk & Son, jewelers, approves the new style. “Men who have received such rings from their fiancees seem to appreciate them very highly,” he said. “The custom of exchanging engagement rings has been growing in Indianapolis for the last year. “Usually, the man’s engagement ring is set with a stone other than a diamond. Bloodstones, sardonyx, amethysts, topaz, are favored greatly. The birthstone of the man and cameos also are quite popular. Often the man’s initials are cut into the

stone. Only a few diamonds are sold for men’s engageemenlj rings.” A wrist watching serving as *1
