IDENTIFY THREE * BODIES TAKEN FROM SUB S4 Fingerprint Expert Makes Public Names of Victims; Continue Quiz. Bit Unitrrf Pres* WASHINGTON, Jan. s.—The first three bodies to be removed from the sunken submarine S-4 off Provincetown were those of Lieutenant Commander Roy K. Jones, Lieut. Joseph McGinley, and. Chief Machinist’s Mate Aaron Albert Hodges, the Navy Department announced today. The men were identified by the finger print expert from the navy’s bureau of navigation. Official notifications of the identifications have been sent by the department to the next of kin of the three men. Men Lived 62 Hours • B,y United I‘rcss CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD, Jan. s.—The six men trapped in the torpedo room of the ill fated submarine S-4 lived for sixty-two hours, it was estimated today at the naval inquiry into the disaster, by Lieutenant Commander Frank Worden, testifying today. Previously Worden had expressed the belief that the imprisoned men survived eighty-six hours. The disaster did not occur while the submarine was on the regular mile test course, Worden testified. Worden, first witness at Wednesday’s opening session, resumed the stand when the court reconvened this morning. He expressed the belief that the collision between the coast guard destroyer Paulding and the submersible might have occurred as the S-4 turned at the end of the test course. The sea was rather choppy on the day of the collision, however, Worden said, and white caps would affect visibility. A ship might sight a periscope at a distance for 100 to 1,500 yards if the lookout knew what he was looking for, the witness testified. Worden said the Paulding probably did not have the submarine within the range of visibility for more than two minutes. Weather Hampers Divers /,’,// United Press PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Jan. 5. —Weather conditions probably will make it impossbile to remove any more bodies from the sunken submarine S-4 today, Capt. Henry Hartley of the Falcon said. He said divers woujd go down as soon as the weather would permit, but that a brisk northwest wind and choppy sea threatened to balk salvage workers today. Three bodies already have been taken from the hull.

Rush U. S. inquiry Plans llu United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The broad investigation into submarines beginning soon along lines proposed by President Coolidge is expected to focus the limelight on undersea fighting craft as. never before, probably bringing new legislation affecting this type of vessel and the men who risk their lives below the sea. The joint resolution for investigation of the S-4 disaster and submarine safety devices will be taken up Friday by the House Rules Committee and Saturday by the Senate Naval Committee, it was announced today by chairman of these committees. Both committees are expected to vote the resolution out the same day, with passage shortly afterward, so that the end of the week should see the close of congressional action. President Coolidge is expected to appoint the special commission of two retired naval officers and three civilian experts speedily, so they may begin work immediately.

Here’s one joyous New Year's belle you won't find in a belfry. “Believe me! It’s good to be free again,’’ chimes this one. Miss Juanita M. Jones of 842 Fletcher Ave., perched saucily on a table as she powders her nose after the trying ordeal of the divorce court. For Miss Jones, 19, was the first young woman to be awarded a 1928 divorce in Marion County courts. Only little more than a year ago she embarked on the matrimonial venture with William E. Jones. When their craft was wrecked on stormy domestic seas, William abandoned ship, she told Special Judge Ralph Jones in Superior Court 4 Tuesday. The husband, who has left Indianapolis, did not contest the action.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PROSPECTS FOR 1928 ARE SAFE, EXPERT’S VIEW

Continuation of Present Business Forecast by Irving Fisher. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer (Copyright, 1927. NEA Service. Inc.) WASHINGTON, Jan. s.—The majority of the American people are not any too prosperous,, but each year adds a few more to the pros- ! perity class and 1928 should be no ! exception. This assertion is made by Prof. ; Irving Fisher of Yale, often regarded as this nation's outstanding political economist. Because one-half the incomes of the population amount to $l,lOO a I year or less, Professor Fisher pro- | tests against sweeping claims that | our people are prosperous as a whole. ! As judged by standards set up by j such agencies as the United States i Bureau of Labor Statistics, he says, , the majority of them are poor. Better Than Europe Only a small fraction of the income class, he points out, will ever ibe put to the test of prosperity, against which President Coolidge recently warned. More than 99 per cent of incomes are less than $9,000 a year. ,

“But the most important point,” says Professor Fisher, “is that our people are prosperous when compared with the peoples of other nations. From that standpoint, we are getting along very well. “We come nearer than anyone else to the standards of income and living set up by the labor bureau. And w r e are making more and more headway. ‘Thus, although it is not fair to say that all cf us are in this sense prosperous, it is a fact that more of us are becoming prosperous each year.” Sees Little Change for 1928 In an exclusive interview. Professor Fisher admitted that probably a little more unemployment exists than is generally realized, but expressed the belief that 1928 would be at least as satisfactory a year from the standpoint of busines and industry as was 1927. One of the ways by which a cycle | of depression begins, of course, is i by a combination of unemployment, lowered purchasing power and decreasing price levels. Price levels have not been quite stable in the last two years. Professor Fisher agrees, and hence employment has somewhat decreased. But any dangerous repetition of the so-called business cycle has been headed off for the present, he believes, because the beginning of this year found the price level nearer to stabilization with an improved employment situation. The reason: “We have had. roughly speaking, a stable purchasing power of the | dollar, which tends toward stability jof prosperity,” explains Professor | Fisher. “I am rather optimistic about 1928. “Isn't it about time for prices to | drift back toward pre-war levels?” I asked Professor Fisher. “No,” he replied. “If we want to j avoid trouble we had better stick to the price level we have now. Price levels suddenly dropped in 1920 and | 1921; we had a serious period of dei pression in 1921 and 1922. If that j movement had taken the price level all the way back to pre-war. conse- ' quences to our industries and our 1 workers might have been appalling.”

TAT LADY’ OF CIRCUS GOES TO BIGGEST GRAVE 600-Pound Woman Buried in City’s Largest Coffin. The largest casket ever made in Indianapolis was lowered into the largest grave at Floral Park cemetery this afternoon, while relatives and friends mourned for Mrs. Romena Roberts, 32, 600-pound circus fat lady, whom they declared had, figuratively, “the largest heart” of any one they had ever known. Mrs. Roberts had toured throughout the country with her sister, Mrs. Stella Kidd. They started out when 19 and 17. respectively, and were known as “the world’s fattest twins.” Mrs. Kidd, who was among the mourners, weighs 500 pounds. Natives of Indianapolis, they always considered this city their home. Mrs. Roberts died of pneumonia Tuesday at 1663 W. Riverside Pwky. The body was removed to Shirley Brothers funeral home, 949 N. Illinois St„ where services were held today. Survivors include the sister; husband. George M. Robrets, and two adopted children.

From an engineering standpoint The Victory is radically new, radically different and thoroughly original is literally years ahead of its time in many vital features. In a very real sense, too, it comEares with no other car or class, ecause NO car, either here or abroad, provides features that are comparable. To enjoy these advantages you must buy THIS car, for elsewhere they simply do not exist. R evolutionary New Principles of Design 1. For the first time since the invention of the automobile, the chassis and body of The Victory are a single integral unit —the wide, deep Victory chassis frame.flush with*the lines of the body, replaces the customary body sills. (Heretofore, the body was mounted on a sill and both in turn mounted on the chassis.) 2. For the first time in history, battleship construction (i.e., double steel walls) is here applied to the motor car.

Rift in Flower Mission Causes Board to Resign

Because of friction and unpleasantness with older members arising when the board of directors of the Indianapolis Flower Mission voted to do away with visiting poor and sick and to concentrate on Flower Mission hospital work, the board as a body, ’ led by Mrs. Frank W. Wood, president, resigned at a meeting Wednesday afternoon at the Propylaeum. Other members of the board are Mesdames Edmund Gall, William A. Moore, Gideon Blaine, Edward Lynn, Howard Gay, Ernest Sellars and Walter Kurt Brown. They were elected a year ago. At a meeting of the older members and those opposing Mrs. Wood's policies at 10 a. m. today at the Board of Trade, the election of officers held Wednesday by the group was ratified. By-laws and a revised constitution will be drawn up for the body to vote upon next Thursday, officers stated. The old Indianapolis Flower Mission has met every Thursday for a number of years. Row Over Feet Preceding the resignation the board voted to ask for a budget of $1,500 from the Community Fund for extra help and work at the hospital. Members of the executive budget committee of the Community Fund indicated in a letter to the Flower Mission board that they would not approve a budget of $5,000 desired by some board members, if it included the work of visiting poor families. That work is being taken care of by other organizations in the city, the letter stated. All expenses of the Flower Mission hospital have been taken over

by the city hospital except the nurses’ salaries. The budget asked by the board will include salaries, treats and extra expenses, the board voted. Officers Elected Following the board's resignation, Mrs. Stowell Wasson, claiming she is third vice president in Mrs. Wood’s board, but has not been recognized, presided at a meeting of older members and those who disapproved of the policies’ of Mrs. Woods administration. The following officers were elected for that group which plans to continue the work of visiting poor families under the name of the Indianapolis Flower Mission. Mrs. Wasson, president; Mrs. Fred Noer, first vice president; Mrs. Lloyd Lowers, second vice president; Mrs. Fred H. Cheyne, third vice president; Mrs. Layman Thompson, recording secretary; Mrs. Julia Fish, assistant secretary; Mrs. J. H. Lowes, treasurer; Mrs. Edward Friehage, assistant treasurer; Mrs. Thomas Barry, keeper of flower Mission stores; Mrs. Lavelette Dicky, keeper of Flower Mission boxes. Members of the Flower Mission who met this morning plan to continue the work which the organization has done for fifty yeai-s, of visiting the sick and poor, and will continue to plan for the new hospital whech they hope to start in the next two ytars, Mrs. J. H. Lowes, treasurer, stated. Following the meeting this morning, Mrs. Lowes stated that the group would continue to ask for $6,500 from the Indianapolis Community Fund as it did in a budget in November, against the wishes of Mrs. Wood, who then was president.

car value; beauty, comfort, safety, strength and most impressive and important of all —performance itself. With chassis and body a single unit, there are 330 fewer parts —175 pounds less weight—and an extremely low center of gravity. The results are greater motor efficiency—increased power—quicker pick-u£ —greater stability and flexibility in relation to load —an easier car to handle—a faster car to drive! 21 miles to the gallon at 2 5 miles per hour is precisely what you can expect —with sustained high speed ali day long at instant call! Drive over cobbles and await the usual discomfort—it will never occur! The Victory is the smoothest riding car, for its type, ever built. Safe, Strong ancl Stable Because the chassis frame confotms precisely with the body lines—and because of the car’s low center of gravity (weight close to the ground) The Victory is remarkably stable —tipping, skidding and swaying are reduced to a point positively negligible! Turn a sharp corner and you will understand!

NEW RELIGION 1 NEED CITED AT RACE CONCLAVE Forgiveness of Sin Doctrine Declared Harmful in Biological Way. Bjj United Press BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Jan. 5. The Battle Creek race betterment conference attended by several hundred earnest and eminent men and women scientists, drew toward a close today, with the assembled practitioners pondering a blunt pronouncement that they had begun their task of promoting health and happiness from the wrong end. Scholarly papers on genetics,, eugenics, life expectation, and* animal experimentation had been presented, when, suddenly and with-j out warning, Dr. Alfred Scott Warthin, distinguished director of the pathological laboratory of the University of Michigan arose. New Religion Needed “From the trend of the papera i being read here,” he asserted, “one would take this to be a race deterioration conference, rather than a race betterment discussion. The trouble is that you have begun at the wrong end. “What really is reeded is anew religion and anew philosophy of life. “Man’s old religions, though they are passing, are reacting upon his environment dangerously. They take no account of the fact that reproduction is the sole aim of existence. “Born of religion is the doctrine of forgiveness of sin. That has done more harm biologically than any other thing in the world. “Forgiveness will not remove from the bodies of young men and women the traces of deadly germs, associated with social diseases that remain to manifest themselves years later in defective offspring. Forgiveness is not a curative measure.” Takes Rap at Love Having thus handled religion, Dr, Warthin stated love was an undermining influence. “If the race is to be improved,” he said, “the choice of a life mate on the basis of love or sex attraction must stop. “It is necessary that young men and women, before entering into marriage, inquire into each others’ family histories to determine the presence or absence of factors which, when inherited by the offsp g, may strengthen or weaken the race.” School Building Burns VALPARAISO. Ind., Jan. s.—Fire destroyed the Cole school building six miles north of here with a loss of SIO,OOO. The building had been remodeled recently.

And the double steel walls mean double protection in case of ac-cident-double the safety of any type yet known. A staunch body, with doors that close with a substantial and non-metallic snap. Quiet and Comfortable The aim of all engineering is simplicity, for simplicity means economy —strength—SILENCE. There are only 8 major parts in The Victory body—and they are welded into a single unit. Not a joint to squeak or rattle. A silent body. And Dodge Brothers powerful new six-cylinder motor —specially engineered for The Victory—preserves this luxurious quietness at all speeds. A Car of Striking Beauty Body and chassis built as a single unit —without the customary body sill—permits lower over-all height with liberal head-room and roadclearance. Splash shields, a constant source of noise and annoyance are replaced by the wide, deep Victory chassis frame; wide, heavy-gauge one-piece fenders and drum-type head-lamps are provided. Upholstery, hardware, instruments, color combinations and other appointments satisfy the most exacting demands of style and good taste. Indeed, you have a distinct and thrilling impression that the car in which you are riding is long, low, swift and safe—a car of surpassing originality and smartness down to the smallest detail.
