CITY OBSERVES COLUMBUS DAY Italian Colony Is Leader in Celebration. The 435th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus was observed in Indianapolis today with closing of State offices, programs in schools and other fitting celebrations. The city’s Italian colony led in formal recognition of the day. The Italian congregation of the Holy Rosary Church opened the day’s ceremonies with mass and communion at 6:30. At 9 o’clock school children related episodes in the life of the discoverer and recited poems. A parade of school children followed on Stevens St., and a flag was raised in the court between the church and school, while the bell in the church tower rang. The bell, weighing 7,000 pounds, is the largest in Indianapolis, and is dedicated to the Savior in commemoration of the mountain on which Columbus planted the cross, San Salvador. The pastor, the Rev. Marino Priori, closed the program with an address, “Where Columbus Was Born. ’ Homage was to be paid Columbus at a dinner of the Italian colony at the Claypool Hotel tonight, given by Ledge Humbert I, Order of the Sons of Italy. Dr. Vincent A. Lapenta, Italian counsel, and James A. Collins, judge of Marion County Criminal Court, were announced as speakers. The musical program includes vocal solos by Miss Victoria Poggiani, accompanied by Miss Gertrude Conte, of the Irvington School of Music, and numbers by the Irvington Trio, Eloise McClure, violin; Miss Conte, cello, and Adelaide conte, piano. Arrangements for the dinner were made by Frank DeJulio, chairman, A. Mannella, F. Cocco, A Ferrara, N. Mazza, A. Maddalena P. Gammier, A. Ressini, Alfred B. Raitano and G. Mazza. One hundred seven-ty-five guests were expected to attend. Mother of Eleven Killed Bu United Press NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct. 12.

Weak, Run-down. Had ' No Pep at All Tells How She Soon Recovered Health, Weight and Energy. Every woman who is weak, rundown or undernourished will be interested in the experience of Mrs. S. Kuharic, 924 S. 30th Street, South Bend, Ind. How she won back her health, appetite and weight, is told in her letter, as follows: “For months I was badly rundown; thoroughly tired out and awfully weak all the time. I had no appetite and what fool I could eat, didn’t agree with me or do me any good. I lost weight until I was down to only 82 pounds. My vitality was sc low that I had no pep at all. My husband and friends began to be alarmed about me. They had me try several medicines, but I felt no better. Then a relative suggested Viuna, and after just a few doses, I began to feel a difference. Before the first bottle was gone, I had a good, appetite for the first time in months. Soon I had gained seven pounds. Now, my system is regular, I feel fine and can eat anything. Viuna helped me so wonderfully that I gave it to my daughter. She had kidney and bladder trouble for some time. In only two days I noticed she was much better and now she is entirely relieved of her ailments. She is gaining every day and looks fine. We both owe our good health to Viuna.” Vinna 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. 'Uhen if you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Inch & VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

SYNOPSIS Nancy was pretty, a GAGE, and a blueblood, even though she did live on the other side of the railroad tracks. But Nancy Just couldn’t help falling in love and becoming engaged to handsome ERIC NELSON, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt’s, a rich school chum. Nancy's pride causes her to break the engagement when she finds that Eric s mother is a laundress at the Harcourt s. Unable to stand the tension of her enforced separation from the man she loves, Nancy goes to live in San Francisco. Here she meets Jerry Hall, a man about town, whom Nancy starts going with when she heard that Eric is interested in another girl. . . Nancy's father is suddenly injured and Nancy, now without funds, is forced to take Jerry into her confidence. He tries to impose on her trust, however, thus compelling Nancy to work out the enigma for herself. ... ... ... She tries to obtain a position, but her lack of experience proves a handicap. At last, forced to swallow her pride. Nancy appeals to a former school friend. Sue Martin, who works in a big department store, for help in getting a Job. The job is found and Nancy goes to live with Sue. CHAPTER XXIX “Come out of it, Nancy. You’re punching a time clock today.” Nancy opened sleep-sodden eyes to see her roommate, flat on the floor, coming into a sitting position, touching her toes and down “What are you doing?” “Taking my exercises. I’m going to have a figger like Annette Romaine’s if it takes me ten years.” “And who’s Annette Romaine?” Nancy queried, stretching wearily and without much real interest. “Classiest girl in the store. She’s in the jewelry, but she models new dresses part of the time, too. You’ll see her.” She rolled across the floor twelve times and came up breathless. “Come on. We’ll have to hurry.” Out into the shivering, clamminess of the unheated room, Nancy drew her clothes on, gratefully. Glancing at her trim reflection, wondering how soon she would begin to look like a “salesperson.” Already the term “shop girl” had been deleted from her vocabulary. As they hurried down the street, Sue said, briskly: “I hope the girls will like you, Nancy. You were always so popular at school.” It seemed to Nancy rather unimportant. She was not greatly concerned over what the girls at the store thought. Her ambition was to make good with the management, earn some money, and get into something else as quickly as possible. She had expected to be treated as a servant by her superiors. To be known as a number only. She was therefore surprised to hear herself addressed by everyone as “Miss Gage.” The new girls were sent to Miss Deane, who gave each her number and department and sent them, with a guide, into the cloakroom. “Time clock’s right over there,” this girl announced, carelessly. But Nancy had never punched a time clock. What did one do? Was there a trick to it? She watched for a moment, then slipped her card in and pressed the lever. “Nancy Gage, Dept. 10—No. 90 8:45.” Her spirits sank for a moment, then swung upward in sheer interest in the new experience. All right. What next? “Which department are you in?” asked her conductor. “Department 10.” “That’s jewelry. Get your bookand pencil. Let’s go.” Back into an elevator of chattering girls. Girls who were smartly attractive in the well-fitting, dark dresses. Most of them wore black satin. Many with white or pale pink collars, immaculately dainty and fresh. “How do they keep them clean?” Nancy wondered. She was yet to learn that the working girls’ routine for the night includes a little washing hung over the back of a chair. A pair of stockings, a “teddy” or bloomers, a lace or satin collar. . . . She was startled to hear her own name spoken by the other girl addressing a floor man.

“Miss Gage, Mr. Henderson.” He looked her over swiftly and consulted a memoranda. "Jewelry?” “Yes, sir.” Nancy followed him to the jewelry counter. “This is Miss Gage, Miss West. Your buyer, Miss Gage. She’ll tell you what to do.” Business-like but amazingly courteous, Nancq saw a pair of keen blue eyes in a smiling face. She was introduced to the other girls in her departments as if she were at a boarding school. “Miss Gage, Miss Romaine, Miss Bronson.” . . . Nancy managed a smile In response to their frankly scrutinizing gaze. A moment later she was rearranging a pile of assorted brooches. The buyer had departed, saying: “You might arrange those pins, Miss Gage. We won’t be busy for an hour or so.” The other two, dusting the glass shelves; sorting beads and bracelets, carried on a low conversation which ceased if Nancy came too near. Urged by Sue and chilled by this aloofness, she attempted to be friendly. In the bright, supercilious tones reserved for others than her own “class,” she asked a question, discovering that she was forced to repeat it as many as three times. If the girls were waiting on customers they ignored her requests for information altogether. Finally she said, “How can I tell the price of these pins when they aren’t on a card?” “Look through them when you aren’t busy,” advised Evelyn Bronson. “There will be another just like It on a card. Haven’t you ever sold jewelry before?” Cheeks flaming, Nancy answered, “Not jewelry—no!” A little later it came to her that they were deliberately “ritzing” her. One of the girls employed in the store bought a strand of pearl beads for $2.95. Nancy could not figure the 15 per cent discount. When she turned to Evelyn Bronson, crying “For Heaven’s sake help me out. How do you do it?” the other girl seized the book and made it out without a word. Nancy had never felt so humiliated in her life. Not even in the old days at high school. At noon in the dressing-room, hands pressed to her smarting eyes, she whispered to Sue, “The girls don’t like me.” “Why not, Nancy? What have you done?” “I haven’t done anything. And I don’t care. It’s nothing to me what the girls in this store think of me.” But Sue was worried. She insisted that Nancy would need the cooperation of every one iv her department. They could “get her in bad” by refusing information or reporting her mistakes. Mistakes a beginner is sure to make.

“Don’t be uppish with them,” begged Sue. “They won’t stand for condescension from anyone living. Do as they tell you and keep sweet, no matter what happens.” Nancy flushed, but she dared not disobey the advice of this friend whose hospitality she was accepting. II this ftere a part of the game, why then she’d play it. She returned to the jewelry department grimly determined to‘win their respect. She would prove that she was ‘one of them” as she had long ago proved it to the wealthy girls of her own town. Proof it was of her own new clearsightedness that she realized this would be no LESS of a task. After lunch such a mob gathered about the counter with its "specials” of pearl beads, dollar pendants and “flapper’ rings that Nancy had no time for speculation. But she worked cheerfully. “May I help you?” became her slogan, repeated with a smile copied from the petitie Annette. Annette was never too busy to give a customer the full benefit of her personal attention/ . In the midst of a sea of faces, a babel of voices, she would say placidly “the pink beads are more becoming. Do you wish to try the choker? Yes, the others are newer, of course.” Never too rushed to hold a glittering pendant against the whitenes 1 of her own throat. Or to murmur “thank you.” Her methods were a revelation to Nancy, The end of the stampede left her weary-eyed. “Better rearrange those slave bracelets, Miss Gage.” She fancied the tone was kinder. Two hours of working side by side, reaching around each other, had done much to break the ice. They discusser their sales impersonally. “The pendants went over fine, didn’t they?” “We need some more of these rhinestone pins, Miss West.” “I ordered them this morning, Miss Bronson. How about the sale on those new characters?” “Great. We only have a few of them left.” And these, thought Nancy, shifting her weight from one swollen ankle to the other, were the girls whose conversation was supposed to consist of “And I says, and he says to me” . . . Only one glimpse did she have of romance. When a blue-eyed, sul-len-mouthed youth approached the counter and stopped before Annette Romaine.

“I can’t talk to you now,” she heard her say, hurriedly. “When will you talk to me? Tonight?” Her voice was full of scorn and a bright, burning pain. “Oh, I suppose so. But don’t come here any more, Howard. Please!” As he stalked away she turned to a customer with an unclouded smile. “May I help you, madam?” Never in her life had Nancy been so interested in a member of her own sex as she was in this voiced, swift, smiling girl. . . .
