SEEK TO CLEAR GRAVEL FUND DEBT JANGLE All Possible Outlets for Payment Now Seem to , Be Blocked. USE CARE THIS YEAR Forced Economy and Amounts From Tax Action Pare Sum to $70,000. With all possible outlets blocked, at least temporarily, coupty officials are attempting to work out some plan for paying off the $70,000 debt in the free gravel road fund. Under the new State budget law, this fund must be clear by 1928. The fund is derived from a 3-cent tax |levy. The debt now standing is one that a few months ago aggregated SIOO,OOO, but by forced economy and amounts coming in from taxation was pared to $70,000. Debts Stand for Months The debt is composed of unpaid bills for gasoline, road machinery, gravel and supplies that have stood for months. An effort was made, after this debt was shown by The Times recently, to pass an appropriation for $50,000 to pay off part. County Auditor Harry Dunn asked money transferred from the school fund, ■Which is not restricetd. The county council voted this down. Use Care in Expenditures Dunn announced extreme care will be taken this year to hold the gravel fund debt at a minimum. Under the county road law, debts accruing from “maintenance of roads and buying materials” are to be paid from the free gravel road fund. It is said permanent road improvements are being made from the fund. According to George Snider this might be illegal, although interpretations of the lav/ set out “that it is broad enough” to allow permanent repairs.

Well Sir, What Can IDo for You?’ That’s Hoover, in Brief

This is the first of two stories about Herbert, Hoover, secretary of commerce and director of Mississippi Valley flood rell e(. The information In today's story and the story that will appear tomorrow were obtained from Mr. Hoover on his most recent visit to New Orleans on flood worX. By NEA Service NEW ORLEANS, July 22.—When you go In to see Herbert Hoover, you are apt to find him stuffing shredded tobacco into the bowl of a plain briar pipe. “Well, sir, what can I do for you?” is a customary greeting. That remark epitomizes the life of Herbert Hoover, the man whose word will bear most weight in any conference seeking to devise ways to prevent future flood disasters in the Mississippi basin, and that is Hoover’s big Job today. Ever since Hoover stepped out of Leland Stanford University in 1895, -he has been asking the world practically if not actually, “Well, sir, what can I do for you?” He is a big man, big in mind and action, big in bulk. Two hundred eight, pounds. Six feet and an inch. His strides, the long, effortless, distance-eating strides of the engineer, going some place and getting there on time. His eyes are steady and blue gray. His hair is beginning to turn gray. His jaw is the sort you associate with quick thinking and swift decision. The famous double-breasted dark blue suit is known the world over. His hat is usually a light gray with black band. His necktie is rich, sut rich in subdued color—his only hobby of dress. These are the externals of this man who has tackled some of the biggest jobs in the world —chairman of the American relief committee in London at the outbreak of the war; chairman of the commission for the relief of Belgium; U. S. food administrator; member of the U. S. wai? trade council, chairman of the U. S. grain corporation; member of the U. S. sugar equilization board, the interallied food council, the supreme economic council, the European coal council; director of various economic measures in Europe after the armistice and organizer of the

HALTS ATTACK ON U. S. POLICY BY VENEZUELAN William Green Rebukes Speaker on Monroe Doctrine; Nicaragua Protests. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 22.—An attack upon the Monroe doctrine by Venezuelan Delegate Rafelo Martinez before the Pan-American Federation of Labor conference today was peremptorily stopped by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, presiding officer who ruled Martinez out of order and rebuked him. Private American banking interests are “strangling” the people of Nicaragua in an effort to obtain control of the Nicaraguan National Bank, Salomon De La Selva, Nicaraguan Federation of Labor delegate, told the federation. The American people, De La Selva said, do not know “what is going on in Nicaragua.” Many Reasons Given “One day they are told that what is being done in Nicarague i$ to safeguard American lives and property and the jiext day that it is to safeguard rights to a Nicaraguan canal.” he said. “The day after, bolshevik conditions in Latin America, with headquarters in Mexico, flare up in the minds of those who control American property as the reason.” “Now appeals are being made to American public opinion to uphold the dignity of American armed forces. But the real reason has not been told. “Every revolution or political uprising in Nicaragua and every intervention in Nicaragua has crystallized in a loan contract whereby American bankers obtained the profit that should accrue to Nicaraguan workers. Asa result of the recent liberal revolution, an arrangement & being made whereby the government of Nicaragua loses to certain bankers its civil and political rights. Resolution Is Adopted “These are the only reasons for the interventions in Nicaragua.” De La Selva spoke on a resolution introduced by the Nicaraguan delegation which provided that the Pan-American Federation request its executive committee to try to prevent the United States Government from assuming the position toward Nicaragua now held by private bankers/ The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, also provides that the Pan-American body shall give its support to the Nicaraguan Federation in activities against foreigners. FRESH CARNATION DAILY Sir Gilbey Never Without Mauve Blossom in Lapel. B]i United Press LONDON, July 22.—For thirtyfive years Sir Walter Gilbey never has been seen without a mauve carnation in his buttonhole. His florist sends him a fresh flower every day wherever he is. The florist also says Sir Gilbey never has missed a day and probably has worn more than 15,000. CAMERA KEEPS HOUSE LONDON, July 22.—Before Buckingham Palace is given a thorough houseclean'ng, photographs are taken of the contents of every room. This is the only way that every ornament and piece of china may be put back into exactly their proper places, as the queen has learned to keep them.

Gold Coast Schooner Stalked 11 Months By Hunger, Lust and Death

NEW YORK, July 22.—After 11 months of “something worse than Hell,” the captain, the cook, and the engineer of a haunted schooner slumped in their chairs late yesterday and told a harrowing tale of jealousy, murder, lust, and poisoned food, to prosecuting attorneys. It was all because of a womah. She was the wife of Earl Battice, swarthy Porto Rican cook, taken on the vessel because none other could be found. And he insisted on tak-

BEGIN HERE TODAY VERA CAMERON, private secretary in the l each Bloom Cosmetics Cos., shares an apartment with her attractive aunt, FLORA CARTWRIGHT, who finds it difficult to realize that this frightfully sensible and efficient creature who has never had a real sweetheart Is her niece. On the way to the pffice, Vera takes a frank inventory of herself to learn iYhy people find her so unattractive. Her nose is classic, her mouth is adorable. but on the other hand, there are her heavily rimmed glasses, a frecklemarred complexion and her plain and sensible clothes. At the office where she expects to learn of her promition to the place of secretary to the president, she finds another girl has been given the position. The president cheers her by the announcement of her promotion to assistant to the new advertising manager. JERRY MACKLYN. Witn high hope she raps on the door of her new superior. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER II r~T~| LUSTY young baritone J roared “Come in!” a sum- | mons which Vera Cameron, in spite of the strange new excitement which fluttered her usually well-controlled nerves, obeyed noiselessly, as all good private secretaries should. She had entered so noiselessly on her rubber-heeled oxfords that Jerry Mfacklyn had not heard her, and for a moment she was too astonished to apprise him of her presence. A husky young man, coatless, and with his shirt sleeves rolled, above the elbow, was hunched before a huge, flat-topped desk, whicn was completely covered with jars and bottles and powder boxes. Beneath his red hair one tanned cheek testified tnat nature had given him a complexion to harmonize with that amazing hair of his, but the other was completely submerged under a thick coating of cold cream. “I—l beg your pardon,” Vera stammered, unable to make up her mind whether to laugh or to flee, leaving this astonishing young man to his shameless rites of beautification. “Oh, hello, hello!” Jerry Macklyn's eyebrows descended, his startlingly blue eyes, which had been seriously contemplating his image in a hand mirror, flooded with the light of a totally unembarrassed smile. “I’m Miss Cameron. Mr. Canfield assigned me to your department,” Vera told him in cold, even tones—the impersonal voice which her favorite business women’s magazine told her was the correct one for a private secretary to use toward her employer. “Oh are you?” The brilliant smile faded out of Jerry Macklyn’s blue eyes as he took her in, noted the severe braids of her mousy brown hair, the unsmiling eyes behind horn-rimmed spectacles, the prim mouth, 1 the austere black cloth suit, whose skirt chastely covered her legs. Vera flushed with anger for the second time that day at being appraised and dismissed by an impertinent, hopeful male. “Os course you are! Glad to have you, Miss—er —Cameron, isn’t it?” Jerry Macklyn recovered his confusion by reaching into an open drawer of his desk for a towel, with which he began to rub his coldcreamed cheek vigorously. “Just getting acquainted with our line,” he grinned at her. “Sure a fancy layout, isn’t it? Judas Priest! I didn’t know you girls had to wade through all this truck before you were ready to make an appearance. Smells nice, doesn’t it?” he asked sociably, the tip of his short, broad nose wriggling as he sniffed the perfumed air about him. “The perfume used in our cosmestics retails at $8 an ounce,” Vera informed him. “Gosh! That right?” Jerry Macklyn finished grubbing at his coldcreamed cheek and attacked his roughed lip£. “A little of the cold cream rubbed into the lips wil enable you to remove the rou'je most effectively.” Vera told him in even tones, which gave him not hint of the desire to laugh which was almost upsetting her morale as a perfect private secretary. "Thanks for the tip,” Jerry grinned cordially, but his eyes were

ing her along when the ship put out from Porto Rico for Africa under Capt. F. D. Laury, a youngster as sea captains go, and not one to vyn the hearts of a surly crew. Half way across the sea the jinx overtook the ship. It was becalmed in tropic waters. The food ran low. It was beastly hot, and Battice didn’t do much of'a job of cooking. He was occupied with the problem of a wife who was the only woman on a s'hip, weeks out of port. There was a German engineer,

machinery by which food supplies were sent to stricken Poland, Serbia. Czechoslovakia, Germany, Austria, Rumania, and the rest of the Baltic states—and so on and so on, every job requiring abilities of the highest order. As secretary of commerce, Hoover has put American trad£ almost at the top of the world. Where did Hoover get the vast experience which enables him to handle all these jobs? All over the world. He began life in lowa, the son of Quakers. His parents both died when he was about 7 years old. He lived with kinsfolk and presently was out on the north Pacific coast. He worked his way through ar, academy, and through Leland Stanford University, running a laundry and waiting on tables, and his first job was with an English mining company in Australia. Then he went to London and got a job as mining engineer in China. He was engaged to a girl in California, Miss Lou Henry, who went with him on the last lap of the journey as Mrs. Herbert Hoover. Any bride who wants a thrilling honeymoon may envy Mrs. Hoover, for she and her young husband landed in the Orient to jump right into the Boxer rebellion. Mrs. Hoover became a nurse 1 in the hospitals while Mr. Hoover built barricades. But the Boxer rebellion didn't scare the Hoovers from the far corners of the world. In the next seven years he had to go around ths world at least once a year to keep in touch with the mining business. It was just the routine work of a mining engineer, he says, but it led him to Burma, the United States, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Italy, South Africa, India, China, Russia. Then, in 1913, he went to London to represent the Panama-Pacific international exhibition in Europe. He was still there in 1914 when the war broke out and Herbert Hoover, most capable American, got his first public job, chairman of the American relief committee. What can Herbert Hoover do for you? Anything. .

wary and shy, as if he had begun to realize that this impeccable young woman did not approve of him at all. His thick forefinger dug into the open cold cream jar, brought up a lump big enough to cleanse his entire face and neck. “Guess you know all the tricks, eh?” "I don't use lip rouge,” Vera answered primly. “Good thing for our business that all girls aren't like you,” Jerry mumbled at her through the towel with which he was removing the lather of cold cream tinted with lip rouge. “What I mean—” he added, as he noted the vivid flush of anger that swept over her pale, freckled face, “is that it's a good thing for us that a lot of girls need lip rouge.” He pushed back his chair, rose, rolled down his sleeves. “Did I say I was glad to have you. Miss Cameron? We got a slew of work ahead of us. I asked for the cleverest girl in the outfit and they told me that was you. Now, if you’ll transfer your belongings from Benham’s department to mine, we'll get down to business. By the way; I’Ovish you’cL-bring me all the pamphlets and other descriptive matter you can lay your hands on. “And a sales report showing the relative popularity of the different articles we put out, as well as a chart showing the relative profit. I’ve got to dope out a big national advertising campaign in doublequick time. And you’re going to help me. I understand you know this business from to Z.” While Vera was carrying out his instructions swiftly and accurately, she revised her first amused and contemptuous opinion of him. He was nobody’s fool, and she sensed in his vital young body and the alert mind that gleamed through his brilliant blue eyes a capacity for work that more than matched her own. She would have to hustle to* keep up with him, and that knowledge made her step 'buoyantly and swiftly. When she returned to his office he was standing before the exhibit of Peach Bloom cosmetice which he had accumulated on his desk, his flaming head cocked to one side, hands thrust deep into his pockets, a quizzical, calculating gleam in his blue eyes. “Pretty things, aren’t they?” he challenged her. “These black and gold bottles and jars and boxes, with that single spray of peach blossoms are the niftiest things in the cosmetics line I’ve ever seen. Makes a girl feel pretty luxurious to dig a hunk of cold cream out of this, doesn’t it?” He lifted a black, squat round jar and turned it admiringly in his big hands. “Dull gold top, a gold band, around the bottom, and that embossed spray of peach blossom? that look so real you want to pick ’em off and smell ’em. .Ought to photograph like a million dollars, huh?” “Here’s a complete * list of our products, Mr. Macklyn, with the comparative charts you asked for,” Vera told him. “Pretty names,” hie mused, as his bright eyes traveled rapicjly down the list, “Peach Bloom Powder, in Blond, Brunet, Titian and Hazel shades—hazel! Guess that’s your shade, isn’t it, Miss Cameron? I’d take Titian, I suppose,” his boyish laugh rang out. “If you hadn’t interrupted me, caught me in the act of beautifying myself, I’d have tried it out. They’ve got the whole bag of tricks, haven’t them—skin food, bleach, cleansing crevn. hand lotion —what’s this—Star Lash??” “That is a mascara. It comes in both liquid and cake form, in four shades. It is used to make the lashes look longer and thicker,” Vera elucidated primly. “Judas Priest! No wonder you girls are so irresistible. Tell you what, Miss Cameron, you write me a confidential report on our products, giving me the absolute low-down on ’em, from personal experience, I mean, and I promise no-

who ran the little donkey engine on the deck, who found favor in Mrs. Battice’s eyes, so the story goes. The cook was overwrought. And, according to the captain, the engineer, and the half-hearted confession of Battice himself, he slashed her across the throat with a razor one night as she lay in bed. she didn’t die for 12 days. Captain Laury was no surgeon, but he patched her neck as best he coud. She couldn’t eat, but she coi'Jd breathe.

body else will ever see it. Compare ’em with other brands. I like to know the truth about a line I’m writing copy for, so I can steer clear of the rocks, if there are any. And while you’re doing it, I’ll cast my eagle eye over these booklets and the descriptive stuff they wrap around the jars. Got to set acquainted with the stuff right away,” Vera sat for a long time before her typewriter, her hands lying idle in her lap, her face suffused with color. Finally, as if in desperation, she ran a sheet of paper into the machine and began to type furiously. When she had finished, she tore the sheet from the machine and marched into Jerry MacklynV. private office. “That’s absolutely all I know about Peach Bloom Cosmetics from personal experience,” she said crisply. Jerry Macklyn picked up the sheet of paper, read its few lines at a glance, then surveyed Vera Cameron coolly and critically from the crowning braids of her head to the broad toes of her flat-heeled, orthopedic oxfords. “So you have never used any cosmetics except cleansing cream and face powder,” he said slowly. “Hm-m! Now how the devil am I going to know whether this truck is any -good or not? Good Lord, I can’t really try it out on myself, as I usually do a product I’m plannijg a campaign for.” He frowned, looked at her flushed face searchingly, then a wide grin stretched his boyish mouth. "I say. Miss Cameron, I’ve got a whale of an idea. You're my assistant, aren't you? Not just my secretary, but my assistant?” “So Mr. Canfield said,” Vera answered, her voice trembling with anger. She was going to hate this impudent young red head—- “ Now, listen, Miss Cameron. Bend an attentive ear—oh, gosh! you can’t! I mean, you can’t bend an ear!” he grinned at her, his blue eyes sparkling with wicked glee, “your ears are held down too tight by that crown of yours. “Say, I haven’t seen a hairdress like that since my sainted aunt went to her reward. Wait a minute! I apologize! Can’t have you sore at me already! Say, this is my proposition. If this stuff—” he waved toward the fascinating array of black and gold boxes and jars—” is one-tenth as good as Peach Bloom claims it is, then I can dope out the best doggone advertising campaign that ever hit this old town in the eye. With you!” he concluded triumphantly, pointing a forefinger at her with dramatic suddenness. “I shall be glad to help,” Vera admitted almost eagerly. Why, you’re going to. be the star of this scenario, young woman!” Jerry Macklyn exulted. “You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to play Pygmalion to your Galatea—make a beauty out of you with Peach Bloom cosmetics, photograph you at every stage in the. transformation, and use the whole Dunch of photos in a smashing series of national advertising layouts that will simply knock ’em for a goal! You just wait—” • But Vera Cameron did not wait. With eyes blazing and cheeks aflame, she glared at him for one devastating moment, then turned and fled. \ (To Be Continued) Verm quits her job, hut somethin* hoppens that makes her refret it.

Hour after hour she screamed with pain. The tropical ocean heat was deadly, and' there was not a rustle of air. The crew put Battice in irons, but could do nothing for or with the woman. They drafted another cook, but with limited quantises of food and scarcely any variety, his amateurish attempts were sickening. Even when the wind came back, and the ship started to .move, the jinx persisted. Fred Mortimer, the mate, the original of Jack London's Mr. Pike, turned against the youth-

THREE HURT BY CARS Indianapolis Children Escape With Minor Injuries. Three Indianapolis children escaped with minor injuries in three auto accidents late Thursday. H. T. Bramblett, 26, 1918 Southeastern Ave., swerved into the curb and nearly wrecked his car in an effort to avoid striking James Amato, 4, 733 E. Georgia St., in the street in front of his home. The child ran from behind a parked car directly into the path of Bramblett’s car, witnesses said. The child received head cuts and minor bruises. Jeanette Payne, 2, daughter of Mrs. Ethel Payne, 118 W. Fortieth St., while visiting her grandmother at 414 Harvard PI., ran into the street and was struck by an auto driven by Roland R. Schmedel, 4144 N. Capitol Ave. She was not seriously hurt. Daisey Cavenaugh, 15, Negro, 1768 N. Arsenal-Ave., was taken to city hospital after being struck at E. Twenty-Fifth and Hovey Sts., by an auto driven by Harry Scenour, 25, 2f7l N. Rural St. The girl stepped from a bus and in crossing the street was struck by Scenour's car. No arrests were made.

ACT TO BRING BIG AIRPLANE PLANTS HERE Chamber of Coromerc3 Points Out City’s Advantages to Manufacturers. NEGOTIATING WITH FIVc Indianapolis Already HaT Large Number of Parts Factories. An effort to bring aircraft industries to Indianapolis is being made by the Chamber of Commerce Industrial commission, Clifford L. Harrod. industrial commissioner, said today. “We have negotiated with five large concerns and have some assurance of success. I believe that Indianapolis is Ideally located to become the center of the aviation industry and we have an extensive program looking to that end,” Harrod said. Harrod is preparing a bulletin cf information bearing on the aviation field which will be ready for distribution among manufacturers within ten days. The leaflet will contain results of a careful survey of the city's facilities and possibilities from a manufacturer’s standpoint, Harrod said. Many Advantages Indianapolis has good flying weather, adequate raw material supply, low freight rates, excellent labor conditions, and transportation facilities. With such advantages there Is no reason Indianapolis should not become one of the largest airplane manufacturing centers of the United •States in the opinion of Harrod. Already several local industries have made airplane products. The Allison Manufacturing Cos., Speedway City, of which James A. Allison, president of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, is president, makes a number of airship products. The Allison plant specializes in super chargers, reduction gears, special bearings and remodeling and redesigning of engines. The most of the output goes into the Army and Navy aircraft, according to Luther M. Langston, secretary. Expansion Planned It Is likely that their plant will be expanded in the near future as the aviation program is enlarged. The plant employs 110 persons and had an output last year of about $700,000, most of which was Government work. Chief Engineer and General Manager Norman H. Gilman are largely responsible for the high class work under government contract. Some work has been done for companies having air mail contracts, Langston said. Motors used In ships on the South American “good will” flight were of I the "upside down built at j the Allison plant.
