HONOR TEACHER FOR YEARS OF PUBUCSERVICE State Group Recognizes Miss O’Hair’s Work of Two Decades. After twenty years of public service in the interests of schools and teachers of Indianapolis two signal honors were given Miss Belle O’Hair of the English department of Shortridge High School at the recent convention of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association. She was elected vice president of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association and made the seventh district member of the association executive board. Miss O’Hair is well known to Indiana legislators because of her work in connection with the Indianapolis and the State Teachers’ Federation and the Indiana State Teachers’ Association at every session, of the State Legislature from 1907 through 1921. Launched Teachers’ Pensions While a teacher in the Benjamin Harrison school in the spring of 1907, Miss O’Hair called a meeting of the teachers of that building in the interests of a pension for Indianapolis teachers. Three days later the movement was launched with the heartiest cooperation of Calvin N. Kendall, then superintendent of the Indianapolis public schools. Miss O’Hair and Miss Laura Donnan later led the campaign in the State Legislature for the passing of the Indianapolis teachers’ fund, which'r-ecently has been combined .with the State teachers’ pension fund. Another notable accomplishment in the interest of teachers was made by Miss O’Hair the same year. She organized the present federation of Indianapolis public school teachers and served as president for eleven and half years. Miss O’Hair recalls that she was directly or indirectly responsible for the organization of the teachers’ federations in Evansville, Terre Haute, South Bend, Richmond, Marion, Muncie, Anderson, Greencastle, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Henry County and Marion County. Headed State Troupe For two years Miss O’Hair was president of the State Teachers’ Federation. She was chairman of the membership committee of the National League of Teachers’ Associations. During her chairmanship a great number of local, city and State organizations were brought into this league. Among them were Kansas City, New York City, San 'Francisco, Seattle and Omaha. She spent fourteen weeks in the British Isles several years ago studying their elementary and high school systems. She was selected for the trip by the school board and superintendent of schools. Miss O’Hair has examined text books for the State board of education and for the school board. At one time she assisted in the revision of the English course in the Indianapolis public schools. Belongs to Women’s Clubs Asa war-worker, Miss O’Hair was sent throughout the State to speak on the conservation of food and investment in war savings stamps. She is a charter member of the Woman’s Department Club, a member of the local Council of Women, and a charter member of the Woman’s Franchise League of Indiana. Miss O’Hair lives at 2262 N. Alabama St., with her sister, Miss Zella O’Hair, who was one time principal of School 36. BUY NEW INSTRUMENTS Add Twelve to Music Department of Manual High.

ASKS ALABAMA TO OUST KLAN Governor Ls Requested to Uphold Constitution. Bu United Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 28.—A demand that Governor Bibb Graves “disband the Ku-Klux Klan in Alabama in order that the supremacy of the Constitution may be re-estab-lished,” was made in a statement issued here Thursday by John Q. Bankhead, attorney. Bankhead scored the chief executive for “failure to take action against two members of his official family who declared their oaths to the Klan were superior to their oaths to the State.” He referred presumably to George H. Thigpen, State insurance commissioner, and Cecil Davis, State tax agent, who refused to answer questions in the recent grand jury investigation of masked floggings in Crenshaw County. Davis was jailed five days as a result.

BJJ United Press SYDNEY, Oct. 28.—When John Flynn, So, was knocked unconscious and pinned to the ground by a fallen tree in the Victorian bush, his dog saved his life. The animal waited near the man’s motionless body, and licked his face until Flynn revived slightly.

After it had run two miles to. the Flynn’s home, Mrs. Flynn did not notice the handkerchief round the dog’s neck, and for several hours the dog fretted around the house until another member of the household returned and saw the mute message. A relief party quickly was organized. SEEK TO BUY STOCK OF TELEPHONE FIRMS Former Governor Adds to Plea Before Commission Former Governor James P.

Fast Work High-Powered Cars Big Help to City’s HighPowered Salesmen.

Highpowered cars have contributed considerably to highpowered salesmanship. Such a conclusion was drawn from the revelation of certain real estate selling secrets made by a once prominent Indianapolis dealer in farm lands. "A fast car is a great asset in selling farm land, especially if it is some distance from tjie city,” the retired salesman asserted. “You see, I used to get an old/couple in my car and whirl them out into the country at a rapid rate. If the distance was, say, ten miles, we would arrive there in no time. “‘lt isn’t very far from town,’ they would venture, surprised at this rapid arrival. “‘Oh, no, just a fifteen-minute ride,’ I rejoined, but after they bought the place and motored to town in the flivver they soon saw the difference. * FOES OF PROHIBITION HAVE BIG WAR CHEST Receipts for Eight Months Are in Excess of $200,000 WASHINGTON, Oct.'2B.—A re-, port of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment on receipts and expenditures filed w'ith the clerk of the House, under tha law requiring periodical reports from campaign organizations, reveals that the association has a larger war chest.

SHEIK LIKES BLONDE Pasha of Morocco Chooses One as Favorite PARIS, Oct. 28—El Glaoul, Pasha of Marakech in Morocco, has made his annual trip to Paris to buy silks and perfumes for his 300 wives. Most of his purchases, however, are for his wife No. 1, a Circassian blonde, who has been the favorite for fourteen years. Ely Glaoui confesses that his Cli| cassian wife was won, not by ardent conquest, but by a turn of the cards. Two years before the World War he met a rich young Turk, an inveterate gambler, and in a few days had won 100,000 Turkish pounds from the fat Mohammedan. Then he bet his entire winnings against the Turk’s blonde wife, and won. The loser was so overcome with grief that the sheik offered to let the woman choose her man. She went with the tall Moroccan chief. RICH ON BEAT .’Marries $300,000 Widow on His Day Off. Bu J'uitctl Pres* MORRISTOWN, N. 3. Oct. 28.
