A fire was burning behind me, inside the door. “Then I ran away and parked my car in front of the place. I got out and watched the fire for a while and then left. “Then I recall being near a lumber mill, near Fourteenth St. and Florida Ave., northwest. I don’t remem-

TROTSKY IS ON WAY TO EXILE Banished Leader Starts for Turkestan Frontier. By United Press BERLIN, Jan. 18.—Leon Trotzky, erstwhile co-dictator of the Russian Empire, was on his way today to lonely banishment on the Chinese frontier of Turkestan, said a Ber-liner-Tageblatt Moscow dispatch. The Tageblatt’s usually well-in-formed Moscow correspondent declared that Trotzky, shorn of all power, left Mdnday night to take an obscure governmental post at Vjerny. His departure meant that the government had been able to force him to take the punishment meted out to him for opposing the now dominant Stalin faction. Before Trotzky left Moscow the Tageblatt correspnondent reported obtaining an interview with him. “The revolutionary tide has been ebbing since 1922,” Trotzky was quoted as saying. “But it will rise again. The spring elections in various European countries will show a drift toward radicalism. At first the Socialists will benefit. But they will not be able to stem the tide, which finally will flow over them toward Communism. “It .is strange now to think that Lloyd George predicted for me an Napoleonic future.” Tlotzky was said to have declared that political developments in Europe depended largely on the United States’ attitude. The correspondent said Trotzky was pale but dignified when he left the Moscow station. A large crowd bade him farewell. It was added that Karl Radek and other members cf the opposition left Sunday night for unknown destinations in the Ural Mountains. RAZING CONTRACT LET Newman Wrecking Company of Cleveland, has been awarded the contract by the Indiana World War Memorial commission to clear the block bounded by Michigan, Meridian, North and Pennsylvania Sts., on which the ne:.t unit of the memorial, an obelisk will be constructed. The area lies directly ndrth of the Memorial Shrine. Bids for landscaping the new unit will be asked soon, Frank H. Henley, secretary, announced.

RADIO ABOVE ALL IS lOWA TOWN SLOGAN
By Vfiitcd Press TpAIRFIELD, lowa, Jan. 18.— " Heretofore just “one of those towns out in Iowa” this community of 6,333 persons today went into the news in big time style, as scores of cities turned to it for relief from radio interference. Telegrams came asking for copies of the ordinance passed by the city council forbidding operation of electrically motored devices from noon to midnight. The ordinance was designeed to prevent generation of static which might interefere with radio receiving. So great was the national interest that citizens forgot the internal fight which followed adoption of the ordinance. Many residents expressed disapproval, but the majority agreed with the council. At a council meeting last night only one person, Dr. A. C. Rasmussen, osteopath, appeared to protest, although many citizens had expressed intentions to attend and object to the law.
BEWARE THE * COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can atop them now with Creomulsion, art emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in nddition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, htonchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist.—Advertisement.

THE national interest completely has bewildered the town and in the excitement intended protests were forgotten. However, Dr. Rasmussen told the council what he thought. “Why,” he said, "your ordinance cost me $4 this afternoon because I could not operate one of my machines. You might as well give Mr. Erickson, one of your councilmen, a tack hammer with which to ply his carpenter trade.” Mingled letters of satisfaction and disapproval came to the council from citizens. One woman wanted to know “how in the world I’m going to clean up after my husband’s poker parties, if I can’t use my vacuum cleaner!” Some of the town’s women remarked they found an old-fash-ioned broom “pretty good for sweeping.”
