payers, and the taxpayers are going to appeal to us against this. “Tliera.will be no more cases like Shortridge, where we had to shut our eyes because the need for the school was so urgent,” Brown declared. ‘‘Are you going to substitute yourselves for the school board and decide the type of heating plant to be used? I maintain the school board has the right to select the heating system,” Vonnegut said. Banging his fist on the table, Brown rejoined: “We don't select the heating plants, but when you come in and want to install a system at am excessive cost, we will halt it.” liugg declared that the tax board' should give the school board the benefit of its knowledge concerning the exorbitant rates, declaring that these charges were only licresay. Wants Explanations “What, would you say if we told you that we had engineers check the specifications and found that our charges \vere right? That they were hot our engineers, but outside competent engineers? “Why not give us a cha:i:c to explain? Hugs dSKSd. ‘T want explanations,” Brown said. ‘‘You v, ant me to shut the door to further information, but it can’t be done/' “You haven’t a right to determine cn this without our explanation,” liugg asserted. “I want to know right now why the heating plants are purchased for the Indianapoiis schools at higher prices than other schools in the State pay?” Brown asked.” Hough interposed with the statement that the board “just had let a contract” for a building at the Arsenal Technical High School at double the cost that a larger school building was being erected at Lafayette. Shipp System Not Used “And the Shipp heating and ventilating system was not used, but another that is very satisfactory. “Our investigations and comparisons of proportionate costs show a great discrimination against the Indianapolis schools,” he added. “I want to leave one thought with you people right now,” Brown said, "and that is we have no friends to favor or enemies to hurt. There has been mighty strong evidence that heating and ventilating plants have been installed in Indianapolis school buildings at excessive prices, at the expense of the taxpayers, and we shall exert every influence to protect the payers.” He added that he was willing to have the school board compare the costs of construction of school buildings in other cities with those in this city. Asks Where 5120.000 Went Hough asked what had become of the $120,000 set aside from the still uncollected levy with which to build the addition to School 47. “It was used in installing necessary equipment in the schools,” Hilkene explained. "Don't you know that this fund was set aside especially to build this addition to 47 and for no other purpose?” Hough asked. When Hiikene explained that as it was school funds they could use the money wherever necessary. Hough declaimed that it was against the law to use money set aside for

QUICKEST WAYTOEND COU9S

RISKED PNEUMONIA BY NEGLECTING HIS COLD

jl ■■■■najHHHHHHHn

Numbers of Indianapolis peoplelike Robt. R. Page—have found it no longer necessary to neglect a cold because of expense, inconvenience or the need of medicines unpleasant to take. For hospital physicians are now recommending for home use an inexpensive and pleasant method that brings quick, sure relief. Mr. Page had neglected his cold, hoping each day it. would “cure itself.” Instead, It got worse, spreading from his nose passages down towards his lungs. Fearing penuinonia then he called the clinic, where doctors gave him double doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin-hydrate and other ingredients which have relieved even the most extreme hospital cases. In a few hours he felt greatly relieved, and that night he could breathe freely through both nostrils and coughed very little. The next morning he felt like a different person—rill of the “feverish, grippy” feeling—and in another day or so, doctors report, all traces of the cold had disappeared. See other cases —all certified by a member of the hospital clinic.

Brown explained that a letter was sent Nov. 9, 1927, to Ure Frazier, at that time business manager of the school board, on disposition of the money to be spent for schools. Urgency Existed “We included in the tax levy amounts sufficient to pay for onehalf of the construction of each of the schools at 73, 47 and 15 according to the plans of financing proposed by the schol officials in their original budget,” it read in part, “and suggested to the board that Schools 80 and 84 be constructed by issuance of bonds without delay. as an urgency existed.” There was no need for a bond issue for School 47, as the money

Find Hospital-Tested Method Ideal for Home Use During This Pneumonia Weather

./rvc-t

Realizing that every common colcl may be the forerunner of pneumonia—unless treated properly in time—hospital physicians have chosen a remedy that is ideal for use at home. And numbers of Indianapolis people find, as Miss Margaret Miller did, that it brings quick, sure relief—often in a few hours—yet is inexpensive and pleasant to take. Took Doctor’s Advice—Cold Gone Next Day Miss Miller, for example, contracted a cold which she kept neglecting until it had spread down into her bronchial tubes. The day following her fever was high and she coughed while attending a movie. Then, on the advice of her doctor, she started taking double strength doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients certified for home use by hospital physicians.

This hospital formula stopped her coughing spells almost instantly. Inside of a few hours congestion in her nose passages and chest began to clear up. By morning her excessive fever was gone, she was able to be out—and the day following, her doctor reports, the cold was gone entirely. Note: These reports are all certified by the physician who treated each case.

had been provided by levy, half to be raised this year and half next year, the tax board explained. Before the meeting adjourned. William Book, of the Chamber of Commerce, presented a list of proposed elementary school improvements to be made over a five-year period. Action of the board on the request for the bond issue will be announced within several days, Brown annnounced. Fire Damages Ileck Home Fire, believed to have been started by sparks, caused an estimated damage of $1,500 to the home of R. C. Heck, 23 Harris Ave., Monday night.

Doctors find that this hospital medicine does far more than stop coughing instantly. It penetrates and heals inflamed 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. Just a few pleasant spoonfuls of Cherry Pectoral now and you’ll feel like a different person tomorrow. At all druggists, 60c; twice as much in SI.OO hospital size.

NAVY DIRIGIBLE TURNS NOSE TO COBAN WATERS Leaves Canal Zone Heading for Patoka Tender En Route Home. BY SEYMOUR PAI L. United Press Staff Correspondent BALBOA, Canal Zone, Fc'o. 23. The United States Navy Dirigible Lcs Angeles left France Field at 10:30 a. m. today for a flight to join the tender Patoka at Guantanamo, Cuba, naval base. Before leaving the Panama area for the Cuban flight, the Los Angeles was to fly over the canal and Panama City. She was to clear the Canal Zone about noon for Iter Caribbean Sea passage. A large crowd watched the big balloon—a novelty on the isthmus. Many children were present. The landing, after more than thirty-nine hours in the air. was a majestic sight Monday night. The silvery craft, was first sighted over the Canal Zone at 9:15 p. m. The dull drone of its motors first attracted the thousands waiting in the .'treats and at the landing field. Land/. by Moonlight A few minutes later the flicker of the cabin lights cf the Los Angeles could be seen and then the great lighter-than-air vessel could be seen floating serenely through a sky lighted by a tropical half-moon. Lights from vessels reflected against its sides while flood lights from the field soon picked it up. The thousands in the streets sent up a cheer. The crowd v.as likened to that which received Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh six weeks ego. But the Los Angeles was brought to an immediate landing. It floated out over Colon and then shortly before 10 p. m. it put to the mooring mast, under which 300 sailors stood in V formation reading to aid the landing. Landing was made easily and the cabin soon was settling down a scant ten feet from the ground. Ladders were dropped and Commander Rosendahl. with six officers, descended to receive official greetings and the lusty throated greeting from 4 001' persons at the flying field at 11:07 p. m. Delayed by Storms Rosendahl was greeted by Admiral Christy, commanding the Fifteenth Naval District; Commander Francis Maile of the Cocosolo A'r Station and Lieutenant Colonel Fisher of France Field. The Los Angeles officer said they had encountered storms, wind and hail and lightning on the long journey—the longest undertaken since the craft was flown from Germany to the United States several years ago. Winds over the Caribbean Sea delayed arrival of the Los Angeles, which rffed been scheduled for 6 p. m.

ENDED COLD QUICKLY WAY DOCTORS ADVISE

RELIEVED HEAD COLD BY PLEASANT METHOD

C’has E. Murphy developed a bad head cold which nothing seemed to relieve.

He couldn't sleep except to doze off a few minutes and wake up feeling that he was being choked. Then he called doctors at the clinic who advised double strength doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Belief began quickly and the cold was clear-

ing up noticeably in two or three hours. He continued the pleasant doses, and in another day or so, doctors report, bis head cold had cleared up completely and he was feeling “like himself!” again.

Is Thirty the Love Deadline?

Nathan Says Durant See.ing Things Through Philosophy Whiskers.

BY GEORGE JEAN NATHAN r 7pHE result of years of browsing in the philosophical pastures of Plato, Socrates, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kant and Simon and Schuster plainly is evident in the case of Will Durant. The poor fellow has become infected with the philosophy coccus or metaphysical lead poisoning. He apparently cannot now view j anything save through philosophical! whiskers. He would apply the prin- j ciples of Nicomachean ethics to hay j fever and the transcendental diaiec- ! tic to a Follies girl. He would en- j dorse Lucky Strike cigarets with , a quotation from the “Novum Organum.” As an instance of the pox which | has seized him. we have his recent animadversions on l amour. Fondling his beard. Professor Will has generated a profound cerebration to the effect that no man, and by inference no woman, is capable of falling in love after the age of 30. By love, the professor : says, he mean true devotion. Peing a bachelor of long and reputable standing in the community. I am perhaps not the most appropriate party to enter into a ! debate with the professor, yet it seems, even to an outcast like me, that he is much more highly equipped to write the story of philosophv than to produce philosophy : himself. A* a philosopher, he may be said to have his weak points. In the first place, to argue that a man or a woman Is incapable after 30 of succumbing to what is called love is to argue that only a man or a woman under 30 is capable of selfdelusion. Merc, that love and true devotion, as the professor phrases it. arc one and the same thing. n a a lOVE and true devotion, unforaJ tunately. ave not always one ar.d the same thing. A man or a woman falls in love much more often than he or she. if 1 may express it so. falls in true devotion. True devotion may be a consequence of love, t ’ it is not love itself nor the pr llsivc power of love. Love, as Heliopabalus meditated, is the triumph oi imagination over intelligence, the delusion that one woman differs from another, the temporary conviction that there is nothing in the cocktail but genuiup gin. It is a lovely violin duet played by a boozy baldheaded man and a slattern hidden from the enraptured hearers’ eyes. It is artfully charged cider in a Charles Heidsieck ’ls bottle. It is nonesense picking the edelweiss on the peak of Olympuc. It is beautiful and it is dumb. True devotion has no more place in it. at least in its first and most glamorous stages, than a harp has in a Strauss waltz or in “Papa Loves Mama.” To say that a man can't fall In love after 30 is to say that he can't enjoy music, liquor or any other such analogous sense-steal-ing diversion after the same age. Asa man gets older, his capacity for making a fool of himself increas. and so his aptitude for love increases. * * u TRUE devotion, to revert to Professor Durant's phrase, is hardly a gift at which youth excels. Surely the professor would not have us believe that the love of boys and girls is either founded upon or inspired by any such phenomenon. This is no place to wax too concrete about so delicate a matter, but even the professor, plied sufficiently with persuasive schnapps, would admit that what he calls true devotion is somewhat removed from the necking and petting the younger generation in turn calls love. If that is true devotion, cither incipient or potentialljl permanent, then I am ready to believe that Casanova's name was Dante. It is a platitude, grounded in statistics, that marriages after 30 are generally more successful than marriages contracted before 00. While no Pollyanna. I have a feeling that devotion, if not love, must have something to do with the prosperity and endurance of the past-30 hitch. Love may keep lovers together, but love alone, in the accepted sense of the word, can’t keep a married couple together. There must be something else, and that something else, unless I am in error, is the peculiar hangover that goes by the name of devotion, respect, sympathy, understanding or what not. # n lOVE is less great even than / friendship, and less lasting. Friendship is love purged of the havoc of emotion by the test of time and the trial of faith. A successful marriage is more of a bargain between friends than between lovers. Love is never absolute, entire. In it, though it be as deep as the deepest sea. there is always elbowroom for a bit of a glance at some other man or woman. The patriot may love only one country, but thi lover pretty generally has in his uniform a touch of the enemy's color. Our friend Durant should read less papyrus and more papers. His whiskers have become tangled up in ancient philosophical tracts and epigrams. All around him, old goats of 31 and even 32 are falling in love daily and getting themselves married and unloading their long stored-up devotion upon equally senile girls. All around him. kids are falling in love bi-monthly with other kids and taking it out in terms of nothing more devoted or permanent than hair-mussings, liplickings, intimate fox-trots and exchanges of fraternity and sorority pine. Something is wrong. I fear, with the professor's logic. Perhaps it is the professor. (Copyright, 1928, the Bell Syndicate, Inc.)

M'NOTT ADMITS USE OF FRANKS IN PROPAGANDA Anti-Pacifist Letters Sent With War Department Stamps Condemned. Attorney John G. McNutt, 600 Traction Terminal Bldg., today admitted that while he was secretary and treasurer of the Indiana Reserve Officers’ Association the War Department frank had been used to send cut anti-pacifist propaganda letters. This practice was attacked in the Senate Monday by Senator Walsh of Montana and the Indiana case was among those cited. The McNutt letters, Walsh stated. Xvere addressed to various officers of the American Association of University Women in Indiana and attacked Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, who had been asked to address meetings of the women. McNutt Fails .to Recall According to Walsh. McNutt suggested the women withold support of Libby’s organization and inclose and a statement from President Elliott of Purdue University supporting the R. O. T. C. at that school. Walsh said he asked the attorney general whether this matter was frankable and had been informed that it had been found not to be a law violation, but would stop. McNutt failed to recall the details of this business today and said that it occurred more than a year ago. Libby had complained to the War Department about it. T don't think our letters said that Libby should be prevented from speaking,” McNutt said. Libby Protests Treatment Libby returned to Washington from a speaking tour today to find that the sessions of the House Naval Affairs Committee had closed, despite the fact that he had been ordered to appear by Representative Fred A. Britten, acting chairman. He issued a long protest to the press regarding this treatment and attacked the “big navy” appropriation plans. Walsh in his Senate speech was particularly vitriolic regarding Fred R. Marvin, head of the Key Men of America, whom he characterized as a “specialist in Red scares.” He quoted Marvin’s attacks on alleged pacifism of the Federal Council of Churches, which he said was franked in a bulletin of the Third Coast Artillery Corps, Norfolk, Va. “This is the same Marvin who characterized the defendants in tire oil leasing cases as 'pure patriots’,” Walsh declared.

QUESTION RADIO FUND SUCCESS Listeners Are Charged With Lack of Cooperation. The shadow of doubt was cast over the success of the Radio Interference Fund being sought by the Listeners’ Cooperative Trus tecs Committee at a luncheon at the Sevcrin Monday. The committee expressed the view that listeners arc not cooperating as they should. With Monday’s contributions, which included a check for S2OO from the Indianapolis Radio Jobbers’ Association, the total amount raised to date Is about $1,500 of the required $6,000. At the present rate of donations, about $l5O to S2OO daily, the fund will not be completed by March 10, at which event the money will be returned and plans will be dropped, the committee pointed out. Two interference talks, sponsored by the committee, will be broadcast by local stations tonight. The first will go on the air at 8 from WFBM and the other will be heard from WKBF at 8:30. A. J. Allen, a member of the committee. will give another of his scries of interference talks from WFBM at 7 Wednesday night, dealing with the work of the “trouble shooter” in the field.

DRINK WATER IF BACK OR KIDNEYS HURT Begin Taking Salts if You Feel Backachy or Have Bladder Weakness Too much rich food forms acids which excite and overwork the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Flush the kidneys occasionally to relieve them like you relieve the bowels, removing acids, waste and poison, else you may feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, the stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get irritated. obliging one to get up two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste, begin drinking water. Also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help prevent serious kidney and bladder disorders. By all means, drink lots of good water every day. —Advertisement.
