Council rules provide the election shall be held at noon of the first Monday in January. Councilmen, six of whom are under grand jury indictment have not manifested the usual interest in the electior. There was considerable “politics” before the election last year, the choice of Negley being an upset. Raub Has Support Councilman Edward B. Raub, Democrat, has been mentioned prominently for the post and is believed to have the support of the largest faction. M. W. Ferguson, Democrat, and Walter Dorsett and Otis Bartholomew, Republicans, who voted with Raub and Robert E. Springsteen, a Democrat, to elect Mayor Slack, a Democrat, are considered likely to support nomination of Raub. Politicians are speculating on whether the “four horsemen” composing the majority faction will split on the election of a council president, as they did in the election of a mayor. Todd Is Candidate Austin H. Todd, dentist-council-man, erstwhile deputy sheriff and coroner, has let it be known he is a candidate for the presidency. Some believe the majority faction Will seek to elect Bartholomew, who at various times has had political ambitions.

at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois ana Washington Sts., where large crowds continue to visit him daily. These crowds are mostly men and women, who are suffering from stomach, liver, kidney and bowel troubles, and rheumatism or neuritis. Among the thousands already benefited by Konjola, none is better known than Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Baxter, 1928 Valley Ave., Indianapolis. Mr. Baxter’s statement reads as follows;: “I am a man of 78, and I have suffered with rheumatism for years. Sometimes I was laid up entirely, and when I did walk I had to use a cane. My joints were stiff and achy and the pains were terrible. My stomach also gave me a lot of trouble, and I suffered with headaches. This Konjola not only ended my stomach trouble and the headaches, but it cleared all the poisons from my system and now I am entirely free of all the aches and pains of rheumatism. I can walk without a cane. I hardly know what to make of it. This medicine has helped me in many other ways. I don’t have dizzy spells like I used to and I sleep good. I will be glad to tell anyone about your new remedy.” The statement of Mrs. Baxter reads as follows; “Konjola is the first medicine that really ended my stomach and kidney trouble. I was suffering from the worst kind of indigestion pains. Every bite of food would hurt me. My kidneys were so weak that I had to get up 6 and 7 times a night. I had pains in my back and was dreadfully nervous at all times. That was my condition, but now I am feeling like I never had a sick day in my life, and I owe it all to Konjola. My food agrees with me, and my nerves are stronger and I never have any trouble with my kidneys. The night rising is ended, and I don’t have back-aches like I used to. I think it is wonderful to find such a medicine as Konjola, and I want to indorse it.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois & Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook store in this city and by all druggists throughout this section. a—Advertisement.

Barring Girls From Y. W. for Faith Is Ballot Test

Vote Is Withheld From Jews, Christian Scientists by U. S. Rule. Whether Catholics, Christian Scientists, Jews and girls who belong to no church, shall be admitted to voting membership in Young Women’s Christian Association will be voted upon by Indianapolis members Jan. 28. The question will be decided finally in a national convention in April. An amendment to the national constitution proposes that full membership shall be based not upon membership in a Protestant church, but upon mere personal subscription to this purpose: “I desire to enter the Christian fellowship of the association. I will loyally endeavor to uphold the purpose in my own life and through my membership in the association.” The Y. W. C. A. does not bar girls of faith other than Protestant from gym classes and other activities, the only privilege withheld being the vote. “The fairness of barring these girls from voting while inactive or indifferent members of the specified church have the right has been our problem for the last twelve years,” said Miss Florence Lanham, membership secretary. “The change is not particularly needed in Indianapolis,” she said. •“It would, however, benefit the policy of ‘fellowship’ of our organization.” DOG ROUTS CAR THIEVES Even Policemen Have Trouble With Auto Deserted in Street.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

EXPERTS STUDY BLONDES, CATS ANDJLAYERS Mind Sharps in Convention to Decide Why Tabby Comes Back. BY JACK POWER United Pres* Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. 28.—Some 300 mental diagnosticians-knifeless vivisectionists, who specialize in the geness, powers, and functions of the human mind—gathered at Ohio State University today for the thir-ty-sixth annual meeting of the American Psychological Association. Every phase of psychology, our feelings, reactions, emotions and why, in short, we do what we do, were discussed by the psychologists who exchanged ideas In a symposium. Nor were the discussions taken up by the idiosyncrasies of the human mind. Animal instincts and the why of them were laid bare. To the psychologist, so said those here, there is not a little of truth in the statement that gentlemen prefer blondes—while intuition exists no stronger in the female than in the male. Why Cat Comes Back They will explain, too, they said, that the instinct that “causes the j cat to cOme back” is merely due to a good sense of direction. As for the murderer returning to the scene of his crime, those modern metaphysicians contend there is some psychology to the assertion—“a murderer invariably will return to the spot of his wrongdoing.” “Thought of the crime,” said Prof. H. E. Eurt of Ohio State University, host to the visiting psychologists,! "continually will prey on the mind of the criminal and eventually lead him back to the place where it was committed. It is merely the mental reaction to the physical action that brings him back.” Not *< Vague Opinion*^ In the opinion of Prof. Edward S. Robinson, New Haven, Conn., the belief that psychology is merely “a matter of vague opinion” is erroneous. Experimental tests have born? out, he said, that practical psychology, as well as psychology from the theoretical standpoint, is one of the useful sciences of the world today. Psychology, In all its forms, is to be taken up during the three-day discussions. Today was given over to general and experimental psychology. Tomorrow, discussions will be held on clinical, social, abnormal and educational psychology and mental measurement.

WORK TO LIFT SUB AIDED BY MILD WEATHER Diving Operations Will Be Resumed Today; Victims ‘Officially Dead.’ Bu United Pre** PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Dec. 28. —The weather was expected to permit a resumption of diving operations at the scene of the submarine S-4 disaster today. An increasing wind and rising sea forced a suspension of the salvage work Tuesday after divers had placed a reeving line around the stern of the sunken submersible and started boring a second tunnel. Although there was a rather heavy swell this morning, there was only a light northwest breeze and it was believed more of the work preliminary to raising the tomb of forty seamen could be accomplished during the day. It had been announced that the emptying of the flooded compartments of the S-4 would not begin until the second tunnel had been completed and reeving lines had been placed around the hull at three points. Updike Asks Probe I'.u United Pres* WASHINGTON. Dec. 28.—Appointment of a special congressional committee to investigate safety devices for submarines so that the S-4 disaster might not be repeated was urged today by Representative Updike (Rep.) Indiana, member of the House Naval Affairs Committee. Secretary of Navy Wilbur has proclaimed the S-4 victims officially dead. “The Navy Department,” Uplike declared, “has been grossly negligent in the past by not taking some steps to equip their submarine with some safety devices. Updike said he is “very much surprised at the attempted answers” by Secretary Wilbur to questions regarding the disaster.

VARE BALLOTS ORDERED INTO SENATEPROBE Committee Will Recount in Checkup of Elections; | Start Jan. 17. Bu United Pre*s WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—Two Senate committees were preparing ' today for renewal of their investigations into the Smlth-Vare election cases. Chairman Shortridge of the Privileges and Elections Committee was making arrangements with David Barry, sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, to collect ballots cast in the Pennsylvania senatorial election won by William S. Vare. Senate Has Ballots Meanwhile Chairman Reed, Democrat, Missouri, of the special committee, is making ready for hearings on the Illinois election in which Frank Smith was the successful candidate. They are to start Jan. 7. Shortridge plans to start a recount of the Pennsylvania ballots if the committee succeeds in having them collected. Some of the ballots are already in possession of the Senate, but most of them must be collected from election officials. Vare filed an answer last week to the contest brought by William B. Wilson, his unsuccessful opponent in the election. He had previously demanded a recount of all the ballots. No Recount for Smith The task of collecting and counting the ballots will require several weeks. They are scattered over fifty-six places in Pennsylvania. Shortridge said the count would probably be conducted by Representatives of the two Senate committees and the two contestants. No recount will be necessary in the Smith case since his opponent did not contest the election. The Reed committee will merely take additional testimony and then proceed to the Vare case, reporting to the Senate on both. By agreement between the two committees, testimony taken by one will be available to the other. This, it is hoped, will avoid duplication of effort. E. 3. MILLIKAN DEAD Eleazer Bales Millikan, 78, father of L. H. Millikan. State agent for the children’s department of the State board of charities, died early today at Robert Long Hospital.
