HOME OF FIRST NORMAL SCHOOL TO BE_SAVED Owner Will Remodel Building in 'Old Town’ of Burnettsville. Rjl United Press BURNETTSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 22. —The old building which once housed Indiana’s first normal school, Is to be remodeled and kept intact as a historic landmark, according to announcement by Will Nethercutt, its present owner. The building which stands in the “Old Town” of Burnettsville, was erected by Isaac Mahurin, in 1852. Maliurin, a Methodist, and graduate of an Eastern college had visions of making his school the outstanding college of Indiana, but he died before his purpose could be accomplished. The project languished for six years after that. In 1858, the school was reopened, with a curriculum considered a great novelty in those days, not only in Indiana, but the entire United States—devoted entirely to the development of teachers. Joseph L. Baldwin, a native of New York was president of the school, which he called "an institution of normal training.” Baldwin was a man of personality, a good advertiser and organizer. He was a “modern” and introduced the study of physiology into the school, in spite of protests from some of his scandalized students. It was not considered a decent subject in those days. Under Baldwin’s direction the school became prosperous and attracted the attention of educators from all parts of the country. After Baldwin left the school, it gradually lost prestige. The Civil War broke up the student body, and ruined the institution’s financial standing. Several colleges considered the building as a possible nucleus for a progressive school. The Associated Presbyterian Church planned to establifeh a school there as did H. B. Brown, later founder of Valparaiso University, but all plans failed, and the building was rapidly becoming a ruin, until Nethercutt announced its reconstruction.

AID OF lIRGER DIES BY NOOSE Montenegrin Gangster Says He Was Law’s Goat. MARION, HI.. Oct. 22.—Illinois Friday took the life of Rado Millich, first of the notorious machine gun Birger gangsters to reach the gallows. The swarthy, illiterate Montenegrin, who insisted to the end that he killed in self-defense, went to his death, asserting he had been made the “goat.” He was convicted of slaying Ward Jones, erstwhile fellow gangster and barkeeper at the Birger hide-out and stronghold, “Shady Rest.” "They just took a notion they had to hang somebody because of this gang war,” the condemned man said in a final statement, dictated shortly before Sheriff Oren Coleman of Williamson County ordered the death trap sprung. Millich’s execution followed futile efforts by defense attorneys to obtain a stay of sentence. Governor Len Small refused a reprieve and the courts declined to act. SENTENCED TO PRISON AS HIS MOTHER DIES Negro Learns of Death After Jndge Hands Down Edict. Happiness over receiving a comparatively small sentence, thirty days, in Federal Court on a liquor charge, Friday was turned to grief for Deward Baker, Negro, of 429 Blackford St., when he was informed his mother had just died. The message was conveyed to the youth by friends outside the courtroom door by means of signals. After bowing his head in sorrow for a few minutes, Baker gained the attention of Judge Robert C. Baltzell, who released him until Nov. 29, after verifying the facts. The Hanover College alomni luncheon Thursday at Hotel Lincoln m connection with the teachers’ convention was attended by 125 members. Phi Kappa Thetas also held their annual luncheon.

■■■l USTRALIA is far, far away—but not too far away for a pretty A girl’s charms to travel. In this case the charms traveled via a picture in The Indianapolis Times. The pretty girl was Miss Helen Raftery, 1604 Woodlawn Ave. y Miss Raftery was entered in The Times-Circle Theater Opportunity contest last spring and her picture appeared in The Times May 30. It seems that that day an automobile salemans friend of Desmond Carr of Sidney, Australia, was in Indianapolis for the 500-mile Speedway race and sent Desmond, also interested in autos and races, a copy of The Times, so Desmond might know all about the race here. But judging from results, Desmond forgot all auto races when he perused the paper. Anyway, Miss Raftery got a letter from his this week. A two-page epistle, his picture inclosed, asking that she write in return and all but offering immediate marriage. “It was a nice letter,” said Miss Raftery; “but I’m not quite thinking of living in Australia.” She forgot to mention whether she answered the letter.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 33: The Call of the Prophet.—l Kings 19:19, 20; Amos 7:14, 15; Isaiah 6:1-8. , BY WM. E. GILROY, D. Editor of the Congregationalist The passages chosen for our lesson reveal to us much more than the circumstances of, the call of three different men to be prophets. They may be said rather to suggest or typify the nature of the prophetic impulse and the way in which the call comes to men in general. In two instances of the three the circumstances are not dissimilar. The call came to Elisha while he was plowing with oxen in the field. To Amos the call came when he was attending to his duties as a herdsman and a gatherer of fruit. In the case of Isaiah the call to the prophetic function seemed more in accordance with what we might expect. It came while he was at worship, in a vision that corresponded to his devotional mood. These phases of the prophetic call, however, are not as different as they might seem: Had there been no worshipful spirit in Elisha and Amos as they went about their daily tasks there would have been no prophetic call or no capacity for hearing it and responding to it. Had there been in Isaiah simply a worshipful mood, with no great practical willingness to serve, his experience would have expressed itself in mere feeling, and he would not have responded to the voice of the call saying, “Here am I; send me.” * These indications of the way In which God called men to great prophetic service in the past are exceedingly important for today. We might be disposed to say that those who have been accorded a distinctive place ih the record of the world’s great prophets were surely specially prepared for their task. We might at least be inclined to regard their office as one that arose through unusual circumstances and a very clear and distinctive call. The call, as a matter of fact, was clear and distinctive, but the outstanding impression of our lesson is that it came not in any extreme or unusual form, but as a profound conviction of call and duty experienced by men as they pursued their ordinary occupations. One might even lay a certain stress upon the identification in ancient Israel of prophecy with vigorous out-of-doors life in field and vineyard. How often even in the cities, where men congregate, the really prophetic voice has come from the country or from the wilderness! It is out in the open spaces where men feel something of the vastness of the universe and the greatness of God; it is in the elemental experience of daily living as men produce the means of life from the soil that they come to real and clear perceptions of value. There are few false assumptions or unrealities here. The conditions and foundations of existence are daily enforced upon the minds and consciousness of men and the mysteries of providence are brought very definitely into the range of individual experience. Hope and fear, service and devotion, become emphasized when life is lived under such conditions, and when, without an elemental faith and willingness to work with providence, ttie very conditions of life cannot be fulfilled. It was some such rugged clearness of vision with a power to see things without sophistication and corruption that Elisha was brought from his driving of oxen to the larger office of the prophet. As he learned to plow a straight furrow so his new/ task was characterized by a simple directness of purpose. So also Amos brought from the fields a deep and wide range of

vision. We might almost think in connection with him of the plainsman who went some years ago to San Francisco. He stayed but a few days. Every day when he got up in his hotel he looked out upon a brick wall, and he had to get out where, as he said in his descriptive fashion, he could “stretch his vision.” Was it any wonder that Amos sounded a vital note of righteousness in Israel? That he came into the very center of the nation in a time of apparent prosperity and swept aside all the glittering unrealities of this assumed progress, reminding Israel of the only secure foundations of civilization and religion? The true spirit of the prophet is revealed in the profound sense of duty that moved all three of those men. We 'find it emphasized in their great individuality, in their lack of all pretense, and in their emphasis upon the prophetic purpose rather than upon the mere outward office and any supposed distinction that might be attached to it. Amos is almost rude in his insistence that he is neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet. Possibly he had a mild contempt for prim, conventional and ineffectual official prophets who glprted more in their office than in their essential tasks. Moreover, tile spirit of the prophet is emphasized in the directness with which they obeyed the call as it came. It is one thing to hear a cal! even from God. It is quite another thing to obey it. The prophet never stands forth in effectiveness until having heard the call and having sensed the need, he replies in humility as well as in ourage “Here am I; send me.’(Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DURANT LAUDS CITY MOVE TO CLEANHOUSE Effort to Improve Local Poiitical Conditions Is Praised. \ “Indianapolis has not suffered in prestige from the publicity incident to the political housecleaning, but has won merited praise by assuming leadership in a determined awakening of social conscience. Its example will be followed by other cities of the country.” Such was the prediction made by Will Durant, world-famed student and author of “The Story of Philosophy” in a short talk to a representative group of leading citizens, guests of The Times, at luncheon today at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Citing the example of headlines in a New York paper stating “Indianapolis Citizens Determined In Clean-Up,” Dr. Durant declared: Set Splendid Example “You should take pride in such publicity. It is gratifying to decent citizenship everywhere to know that here is a city that has courage enough to undertake the task of cleaning up its municipal government. Such an accomplishment cannot be brought about through cowardice. There are dozens of cities throughout the land that well might emulate your splendid example.” Importance of courage in modern life was also stressed when Durant touched upon the marvel of modern newspaper publishing. He cited the example of the Scripps-Howard papers in taking a stand for what was deemed righteous and maintaining it at times in the face of popular opposition. Praises Herbert Hoover “It is easy for the Scripps-Howard paper to advocate modification of the Volstead act in New York,” he pointed out. “But it takes courage to stick to such a stand in many States that are known to be bonedry.” The speaker praised Herbert Hoover as an ideal candidate for the presidency. “He has great capacity for practical politics coupled with practical politics coupled without outsanding administrative genius,” he declared in recommending him. “Hoover will make an admirable candidate for any party that has the courage to nominate him.”

ALBERTSON HANDS IN RESIGNATION TO PROSECUTOR REMY

Councilman O. Ray Albertson has given Prosecutor William H. Remy his resignation as a city council member, it was learned today. Although Remy refused to affirm or deny that he has Albertson’s resignation in his possession, it was learned that Albertson gave Remy the written withdrawal from council shortly after his first appearance before the grand jury. Albertson has appeared before the jury five times since the investigation of city council activities began two weeks ago. Remy, it is believed, will hold the resignation until the probe of council has been completed and then will present it ;o that body. It does no become effective until presented. The fact that Albertson has signed a withdrawal from council indicates that there will be indictments wfien the jury reports on the investigation of council affairs. This is expected next week. If indictments are returned, striking at councilmen, Albertson will be one of the chief State witnesses if the cases come to trial, his frequent appearances before the jury indicate. Since the present city council assumed office, Albertson has been an “off and on” supporter of the majority bloc. Other majority members are Boynton J. Moore, Walter R. Dorsett, Otis E. Bartholomew and Dr. Austin H. Todd, who also has varied in his support of the faction. Bartholomew was a witness before the jury Thursday. It concluded its week’s activities today by examining six witnesses. They were: Irving Lemaux, former Republican city chairman and Indianapolis Brush and Broom Company president; Frank Woolling, real estate dealer; George Bailey, local Mack Truck Company manager; Robert Martin, Stutz Fire Engine Company; Edward G. Sourbier, real estate dealer, and Charles Grauh. Why Lemaux was called was not disclosed. He never has been connected with the present G. O. P. regime. Wooling is believed'to have testified regarding his fight of a year

WASH YOUR KIDNEYS BY DRUG WAYER If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers, Also Take Some Salts Flush your kidney§ by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not injure and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink.—Advertisement.
