CUT IN SCHOOL LEVY TO DELAY NEWBUNGS Shortage for Repairs and Sanitary Measure Will Result. Orders of the State tax board reducing the proposed $1.45 city school tax levy to sl.os or sl, will handicap seriously and lower the standard of city schools, Charles W. Kern, board member, said today. “With increased levy for tuition, 69 cents this year, as compared with 41 cents for last year,” Kern said, “the amount left to be divided among other funds will not leave enough to operate schools on the same basis of efficiency as during the past two years. Bond Issues Fought “It will be impossible to keep school buildings in repair or in the same sanitary condition as at present. “Proposal that the school city build the most urgent grade buildigs from proceeds of bond issues should be bitterly opposed by taxpayers and school patrons. “The school city is now setting aside each year to pay interest and principal of $500,000 in bonds, which would more than erect two modern grade buildings each year. Irvington to Suffer “Proposal that bonds of approximately $500,000 be sold to meet urgent building requirements not only means that the taxpayers will have paid $1,000,000 for the buildings before the bonds are retired and interest paid, but also the bonding power of the school city will be so impaired that possibility of constructing a high school building for the Irvington district will be put off at least ten years. “The same situation is true of all high school needs, including Broad Ripple, where anew building or an addition is badly needed.” SPOKANE NOW CLAIMS ‘FRIENDLIEST BANDIT’ Apologizes to Driver for Taking Taxi Leaves it Handy. Ru United Press SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 28.—Spokane, known far and wide as the “friendly city,” now claims it has cinched the title by possessing the “friendliest and nicest bandit.” O. A. Bagerley, taxi driver, obtained a fare one night and a few miles out of the city the man poked a gur* in the driver’s ribs and told him to reach for the sky. The bandit took Bagerley’s purse, containing SSO, and extracted a five dollar bill, handing the wallet back to its owner. “What,” exclaimed Bagerley, “aren’t you going to take it all?” “No,” the bandit replied, “five dollars is all I need. But I’ll have to borrow your taxi for a time. I’ll leave it six blocks from the station when I am through with it. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to walk to town.” The taxi was found where the bandit said he would leave it.

‘Ghost of Diamond HilV Causes Stir at Wawaka

Farmers * Near Indiana Town to Call at 'Haunted’ House. Bu United Press WAWAKA, Ind., Oct. 28.—“ The Ghost of Diamond Hill” at last has got on the nerves of farmers living near here to such an extent that they are planning an old-fashioned ghost-laying party. Farmers and their wives will spend a night in the haunted house where the ghost resides, and will make an effort to discover the cause of the creepy “goings on” which have been reported. On Diamond Hill, the highest point in this vicinity, stands a deserted house and barn, on an untilled, deserted farm. The house, once the scene of merry gatherings of young folk of pioneeer days, is crumbling to ruins, the roof is caving in and window casements falling out. There the ghost is said to make his dwelling. Strange tales of unexplainable lights, weird moans and other haunting phenomena have been current in Wawaka , for many months, and several people attest to having seen, heard or felt the visitations of the ghost. Visitors at the house during the daytime are plentiful, but nothing unusual has been discovered by such timid investigators. The building is constructed of black walnut, they say. The barn has a wall of deadwhite stones, fashioned by a master artisan of pioneer days. A rank growth of weeds infests the yard. Here and there a beautiful French lilac bush, almost choked by the weeds, thrusts up its head. An

atmosphere of death hangs over the vicinity. But the scoffers only smile at this description, and promise to bring back something more tangible than a ghost when they pay their call. Bdi used sage TEA TO DARKEN HAIR She mixed Sulphur with it to Restore Color, Gloss, Youthfulness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home,-though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug stofe all ready for use, for only 75 cents. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is pot sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.—Advertisement.
