°TMEHUT OF HIDING PLACES Vending Apparatus Again in Operation After Defense by Judge. Slot machines are being operated again in Indianapolis. The machines have been reinstalled in several places in the city, since Municipal Court Judge Fred W. McCallister issued a permanent injunction preventing the sheriff and police from arresting officers and employes of the Indianapolis Mint Vending Machine Company. Thp suit was brought by Carl Viebahn, president of the firm, who is represented by Oren S. Hack, former Democratic member of the board of works. County Plans Appeal As the nickels go in and the mints come out, William B. Miller, deputy prosecutor, is planning to appeal to the Appellate Court, on the ground that municipal court does not have jurisdiction to issue injunctions. - McCallister said that “even if the evidence did show that merchandise was paid in return for the device slugs, it would not be a gaming device under the law.” Miller asserted he had presented the court with a case in which McCallister had been prosecutor against a similar law violation and that the Supreme Court had held the machines gambling devices. The court explained to Miller that “that was different.” Druggists Were Arrested. According to Miller, some of the machines are being operated with a printed card showing McCallister s signature under a statement that the machines are not illegal. Several weeks ago, druggists and store owners all over the city were arrested for permitting the devices to be operated. A jury in the court of Municipal Judge Thomas E. Garvin found a drug store owner and his clerk guilty of operating a gaming device. MARINES GUARD LAND FROM HOMESTEADERS Court Order Opens Part of Mare Island; Defied With Guns Bu United Press VALLEJO, Cal., Nov. B—An armed guard of United States marines was on duty at Mare Island Navy Yard to prevent settlers from staking homestead claims upon a part of the island which was thrown open to entry by an order of the District of Columbia Appellate Court. The posting of sentries climaxed ten years of litigation in which the Government has sought to keep the land under the contention that it was purchased from Victor Castro, who held it under a Mexican grant. Suit was brought by James E. O’Donnell who contended the land is swamp land and under what is known as the “Arkansas Act,” should have been ceded to the State for entry. The Appellate Court upheld O’Donnell.

Avoid Poorly Balanced Breakfasts

Start the day with Quaker Oats —food that “stands by” you. IF you feel tired, hungry, “fidgety,” hours before lunch, don’t jump to the conclusion of poor health. Thousands have uranergetic mornings because they start the day with wrong breakfasts. To feel right, you must have a well-balanced, complete breakfast ration. At most other meals—lunch and dinner—you get it. But breakfast is a hurried meal, often badly chosen. Thus Quaker Oats, containing 16% protein, food’s great tissue builder, 65% carbohydrate, its great energy element, plus all-important vitamines and the “bulk” that makes laxatives seldom needed, is the dietetic urge of the world today. Don’t deny yourself the natural stimulation this rich food offers you. ' Get Quaker Oats today. Grocers have two kinds: Quick Quaker, which cooks in to 5 minutes, and Quaker Oats.

Gaudy Hues of ‘'Dahlia Alley’ Flout November’s Early Threat of Winter

“Dahlia Alley” is its name and while not quite all the 8,500 species of dahlias known to flowerdom thrive in the backyards bordering it, about the only reason they don’t is because just a few years ago, horse shoe pitching and not hortiwas the alley sport. The alley runs from Forty-first to Forty-second St., between Rookwood and Sunsets Aves. — v Full Bloom In November Until six years ago when G. A. Fischer, 4231 Sunset Ave., chairman of the annual Dahlia Show held at the Bankers Trust Company, introduced the growing of dahlias to the alley, the men of the neighborhood had electric lights

Tired \Dogs ’ Bark Joy; New Courthouse Lift

A bright and hopeful future at the Courthouse is beginning to replace a dim and distant past as far as elevator service is concerned. Today the structure for one of the two new high speed elevators being erected by the Warner Elevator Company is nearing completion and as soon as it begins to operate, the old shaft will be replaced by anew one. Instead of one antiquated elevator two new ones will take up the vacant spot in the center of the grimy building. Gone will be the days of falling elevators. The old elevator has slipped to the basement pit many times. Recently with a carload of prisoners it dropped about ten feet, but no one was injured. A courthouse employe lost his life in the shaft a few months ago when he stepped into what he

Years ago the elevator was at the west end of the building, but old-timers declare the change in location didn't aid much. The ancient carriage works the greatest hardship on the basement, second, third and fourth floor employes who try to make wild dashes to the lunch stand on the first floor while the boss is out for a few minutes. When the new elevators are installed it is the fond hope of courthouse purists that the old, familiar sign, spelled just like this, “Elevator not running,” will be thrown away.

FIGHT BIGOTRY, GILLIOM TELLS LEM POST Smirch on Indiana’s Fair Name Does Not Permit Pacifism, Says Official. “Plight of the people of Indianapolis under their Ku-Klux Klan city government is an illustration of government by a secret minority group, Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom told members of McllvainKothe American Legion Post, No. 153, Monday night at the Athenaeum. “It is a pleasure to speak to men whose patriotism does not admit of pacifism toward anything that derogates on the rights of American citizenship,” the attorney general continued. “What must be realized is that political pacifism involves a greater danger than does pacifism in respect of national defense. Our greatest threat of tyranny is from organized intolerance within our shores.” Condemned by Bigots The Indiana statute prohibiting medicinal liquor was cited as a result of “organized fanaticism.” “Agonized parents,” he continued “who dare follow their physicians” advice in an effort to save the lives of their children, are pictured publicly and condemned as felons by the fanatics and bigots. “Sincere suggestion that State legislation be made to conform to the Volstead Act so as to enable physicians and the people who honestly believe in the efficacy of such medicine to have it, is ridiculed and dishonestly characterized as an insincere and ‘wet’ suggestion. This in America! “These bigots will concede sincerity and honesty to no one who dires to think other than they do. Fair Name Besmirched “In Indiana, organized fanaticism and intolerance has produced not only tyranny but corruption as well. The fair name of Indiana and of her people has thus become besmirched throughout the land. Our self-respect, some of our most fundamental rights and even our business interests have become adversely affected thereby. “All this has been made possible by the apathy and pacifism of the people. Rather than incur attacks and denunciations from the bigots, almost every one has preferred to remain silent and to permit the bigots to have their way in government. “But the worm will turn, for bigotry has made the people of Indiana ashamed, and it is hurting their material progress. Common sense and common decency will soon come into their own again in our State. "There can be no doubt that the virile patriotism of you legionnaires will help speed that day.” VIGILANTES TO CLEANSE TOUGH ILLINOIS TOWN Special Deputy Leads Swoop on Logan; Worse Than Herrin.
