$500,000 STATE I LOSS LAID TO j BUYING‘SUBS; Several Government Units | in Indiana Hit for Plan of Purchasing. Charges that approximately $500,000 is lost to the State annually through failure of various units of township, county, municipal and State government institutions to purchase products manufactured by State penal institutions, are made by Henry Roberts, State sales agent. Instead of purchasing Indiana prison-made products at a great saving, these various units are buying State manufactured goods. “If the institutions used our goods .they would pay indirectly into the coffers of the State $676,021. " $476,621 to “Outside” Firms “Records show that these units of {State government at the present time, are only purchasing approximately $200,000 worth of these products annually from the penal institutions. This amount, deducted from the $676,621 spent on the purchase of staples each year, leaves a total bf $476,621 of merchandise patronage which unlawfully goes to outside Sources,” Roberts charges. “Indiana prison-made products sere at least 25 per cent cheaper than any other merchandise sold in the State, the amount that the units lose in not taking advantage of this low priced merchandise is approximately $119,155, which excess is naturally borne by the taxpayer. Prison Also Loses Profit “The three penal institutions also lose their small profit which would be applied to keep them on a selfsustaining basis, and which would also tend to relieve the taxpayer of the burden, which, by strict enforcement of the law requiring purchase of prison made goods, would be lessened materially. “If the twenty State institutions, With their 15,769 inmates, the ninety-two county poor asylums with 3,535 inmates; ninety-two jails with 1.263 inmates; twenty-eight county hospitals, twenty-three county orphans’ homes, more than 5,000 schools; four colleges, 100 city gov.emment buildings, ninety-two court--houses, State capitol and annex; ninety-six school buildings, erected each year, would purchase necessary commodities from the State penal Institutions, the State would receive approximately one-half million dollars yearly and would keep the penal institution factories operating at capacity. Wide Range of Products “No State, county or municipal unit need purchase brooms, mops, buskets, coal hods, rugs, waste and laundry baskets, furniture, mattresses, pillows, toweling, flags and banners, shoes, work shirts, underwear, brick or building tile and even tobacco from outside sources when they are all provided by the penal institutions. “Officials are not obeying the law as the records show and the prosecutors must not permit such laxity,” Roberts said, local students cast FOR !.

Many Here Report Quick Relief jby Using Hospital Tested Remedy in Their Own Homes i In one’s home it is now possible ; to get quick relief—often in a few ] hours—from a stuffy head cold, ' cough or chest cold, according to reports from members of Indianapolis people. And the quickest relief experienced by Theo. H. Wicks and - the little daughter of Mrs. L. j N.

Is Thirty ‘Deadline’ in Love?

(Continued From Page One) eral generations, a racial habit of sexual precocity. The city will continue to stimulate desire, and to discourage marriage; everything will hinge upon that. Promiscuity will increase, and women will achieve the “single standard”—by imitating that of men. Men will have many loves, and live through them;' and then, at 30 or so, they may marry. An increasing number of them never will m£rry at all. Here at last we touch our original question; can marriage, postponed till 30, ever be a real love marriage, ever anything more than a marriage de convenance, with the banker playing the role of the father? Can a man love at 30? Doubtless he can lose his head in the heat of desire; there is no age that is safe from infatuation, and Goethe at 70 could propose to a girl of 16. But could he have fallen at her feet in adoration? Could he a have surx-endered to her his Olympian egotism and lost all thought of self in devotion to her? Could his love be no more itching of the flesh, but a hunger and thirst to do services to the loved one, to be near her and feel the warmth of her presence and her comradeship? Perhaps this full flush of love, more spirit than body, more devotion than desire, comes only to the young; and middle age seldom knows It except for one who has been loved from early years through all the fluctuations of desire and through all the vicissitudes of fortune. (Our question is not whether love dies at 30, but only whether love in its full flower can come to a man of 30 for a woman whom he has not loved before.) It is a pity that when such complete love comes it is not permitted, in our cautious days, to wed the lovers into a marriage that shall be a vow burned in with the unstinted emotion of youth, rather than a physiological partnership entered upon with the cold rationality of middle age, under the inspiring supervision of an alderman. a a tt THE tragedy remains, in this melting time, that we love profoundly and limitlessly,, and do not marry; tliat later we love again, less profoundly and intensely, and do not marry (the banker still frowning upon it); and that later we love once more, very moderately and reasonably, with an eye on the ledger—and marry. How can a man feel all the delightful sentimentality of love after ten years of adventures in erotica? We are then, in Balzac’s phrase, gorillas trying to play on a violin. It is is true that youth is not wise enough to make vows forever that love marriages, like other marriages, fall upon many rocks, but who has proved that middle age, in these matters, is wiser than youth? Youth never is so foolish in adoration as middle age is in desire. And what if love must end, never having been dowered by nature or intinct with an easy permanence? Is it not better to know it in its divine completeness, to open every door of the soul to it when it comes? The pessimist broods over the brevity of all good things; the optimist resolves to enjoy them while they last. The last word should be one of philosophic doubt; there is always a slight possibility that we are wrong, and that time will smile at—or ignore—our analysis. Who knows but that our generosity of necks and knees, our replacement of professional with amateur promiscuity, our reduction of women to appetizers and desserts, short term investments, and show windows of our male prosperity, may be bid; an interlude between two ages of control? As one mingles for a stifled moment in Broadway’s Big Parade, and observes the riotous emancipation of an instinct once subservient to reproduction and the race, the triumph of liberalism leaps to the eye and the mind; and one wonders if this immoderation, too, like bitter Puritanism, may not bring a reaction that will swing us back helplessly to an extreme of suppression and restraint? a tt MANY times in the past, men have experimented with marriage and the family; among the Greek love could not claim even the moral status of Broadway. But we experimental variants are

He felt its comforting, healing warmth—from his nose passages deep down into his chest. The next morning he felt like a different person—rid of the “feverish, grippy” feeling—and in another day or so, doctors report, he was completely rid of the cold. Mother Feared Pneumonia As Child’s Cold Got Worse Little Fannie Lee Barber was confined to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Barber, with a stuffy cold, which was settling in

her nose and chest. Fearing pneumonia as the cold started down towards the child’s lungs, Mrs. Barber called the clinic, where doctors p r e sc r i bed double I doses of Ayer’s Cher|ry Pectoral.

Relief began almost immediately. By supper time the child ate heartily for the first time in two days—

WALSH TAKES LAST RAP AT POWERTRUST Stock Juggling, High Rates Charged in Utilties Industry. By Times Special ■ WASHINGTON. Feb. 20.-A picture of stock juggling, inordinate prices for independent plants and excessive rates in the public utility industry with either the investor or consumer paying the bill was laid before the Senate by Senator Thomas J. Walsh just before it voted to refer his proposed investigation to the Federal Trade Commission. Foreseeing defeat, Walsh took advantage of the last hour before the vote to pour into the record much of the documentary material he had intended to produce at the hearings for investigation. “I have been accused of having intemperate views,” Walsh said in conclusion, “but when I think of the mass of evidence that has come to me during the last six months, the nature of which is shown by these examples, I feel like saying in the classic language of Lord Clive: *1 am surprised at my own moderation.’ ” Stock Fraud Charged In discussing securities, Walsh quoted Secretary Mellon's estimate that $1,700,000,000 annually is taken from the public by stock frauds. He cited the Democratic platform plank that declared war on such practices. Walsh turned to the ever-increas-ing consolidations in the power industry. “I am informed on the most reliable authority,” Walsh said, “that one of the organizers of these great power combinations has cleaned up within the past two or three years something like $200,000,000. Os course, either the stocks sold to the public have nothing back of them better than water or air, or else the people of the country are obliged to make up the amount in the excess rates which they are obliged to pay.” Stock Prices Phenomena! Walsh disclosed how the prices of stocks in the great holding companies had soared in the past few years. From 1921 to 1925, American Gas Company went from 49 to 179; American Light and Traction Company went from 112 to 249; American Water Works and Electric Company went from 6 to 200; Midwest Utilities, the Insull Company, went from 24 to 112 and the North American Company went from 46 “to the almost inconceivable figure of 687.” During this time, Walsh said, the cost of producing electrical energy dropped greatly, but there was practically no decline whatever in the price. Prices of other commodities dropped 60 per cent. but a small minority; let us step out from the center of our greater cities, and we are at once in another world, a world in which there still are homes. Possibly our world will conquer and absorb that one, drawing all the country magnetically into cities, and all the cities into the new life and the novel code. But perhaps the family and the countryside will win; perhaps we of the cities are ultimately sterile, and flourish now only because of the health and vigor that flow to us in every generation from the village and the town. Let that stream run dry, and we shall face again the problems of reproduction and continuance; the species will assert itself anew against the individual; love once more may mean marriage, and marriage, children. We are sports and freaks, and the race may pass us by. It is just possible that when we are gone posterity will not care to imitate us, and that the world which we make, heavy with wealth and bright with young ideas, will be inherited by the children of those who stand aside from us today, looking with doubt upon our great cities, and with hostility upon our careless joy. It would not be the first time that the race had triumphed over the individual. (Copyright, 1028, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc. i Pershing Heads Cathedral Drive WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—General John J.

and in another day or so, the doctor reports, all traces of the cold were gone. Note: See other cases—all certified by a member of the hospital clinic. Doctors find that this hospital medicine does far more than stop coughing instantly. It penetrates and heals inflammed linings of the breathing passages. Absorbed by the system it quickly reduces phlegm, helps allay that “feverish,” grippy feeling and drives out the cold from the nose passages, throat and chest.

ILLINOIS FOES GIRD TO SMASH SMALL Lowden and Deneen Combine Will Wage War on Governor, Senator-Elect Smith and Bill Thompson; Conference Marked by Harmony. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Comb. ~d forces of Senator Charles Deneen and former Governor Frank O. Lowden prepared today to launch a brisk campaign against Governor Len Small, Senator-Designate Frank L. Smith, and the forces of Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago. Week-end conferences perfected an anti-Small primary slate which the Deneen-Lowden forces believed would give the Governor the hardest fight he ever has had. With the impetus of Lowden's presidential campaign to assist it, great strength was predicted for the slate ’by its supporters. Harmony among Small foes was assured when Attorney General Oscar Carstrom withdrew from the gubernatorial race in favor of Secretary of State Louis Emmerson. Otis F. Glenn of Murphysboro will oppose Smith for the senatorial nomination.

Lowden was the only candidate for the presidential nomination of either party who had filed up to this morning. Petitions can be filed unt\l midnight. Fourteen hundred petitions—a record number—for State offices were on file in the Secretary of State’s office at Springfield. Governor A1 Smith of New York apparently had a good chance for the Illinois Democratic national convention delegation, although he was not officially a candidate. It was understood downstate convention would support Smith in exchange for Cook County's promised support of Floyd Thompson, supreme court justice, for the Governorship. George Brennan of Chicago is a Smith supporter/ Senator James Reed of Missouri had considerable, strength in some downstate districts, however.
