GARTH ENTRY SETS POLITICAL POTTOBOILING Senator Robinson Is Forced to Build Organization and Take Stump. BY ROBERT BEARD More fuel was thrown under the bubbling political pot when Solon J. Carter, Indianapolis attorney, entered the Republican race for tfyfe nomination for United States Senator, shattering Senator Arthur R. Robinson’s hopes of walking off with the nomination unopposed. The changed aspect of the Senatorship race was the significant development of the week. Robinson, whose announcement Wednesday indicated he would not excite himself about the primary tinless opposition appeared, got it promptly and now is faced with the necessity of naming a manager, building an organization and taking the stump. Opponents In He has had the experience bejtore. He had four opponents for the nomination in the 1926 primaries. With the Klan and AntiSaloon League as aids he amassed 236.091 votes, as against 62,297 for Archie Graham of South Bend; 63,314 for Oswald Ryan of Andersno; 30,842 for Ward B. Hiner of Indianapolis, and 16,155 for James R. Rorrell, Negro, of Indianapolis. However effectual Robinson’s ieampaign management may have proved in 1926, one material change is conceded certain for 1928 —the post of campaign manager. Ora J. Davies, former State treasurer, who did the honors two years ago, stands indicted on a charge of having levied a toll of 1 per cent on all deposits of State funds in the now defunct American Trust Company Bank at Kokomo. Democrats Are Active While Robinson and Carter were silent, the two Democratic candidates for the nomination have been campaigning loudly all over the State. Walter Myers and Albert Stump, both local attorneys, are out to succeed Robinson. With six candidates in the field for the Democratic nomination for Governor, and five announced and Frederick E. Schortemeier’s promised on the Republican side, the gubernatorial jumble continues to hold first interest in the gossip. Schortemeier’s protracted delay in making his announcement has been encouraging his rivals to believe that a chance remains of his staying out. Schortemeier has smiled at the report and indicated in positive terms his name will be on the lists when March 8, the last day for filing for the office, rolls around. Political Eye on Kokomo The political eye, always attentive when D. C. Stephenson is escorted beyond the bounds of the Indiana State Prison, centers on Kokomo, where the Howard County grand jury is investigating affairs of the defunct American Trust Company Bank. Rumors emanating to the effect that “a high State official” was under scrutiny set speculation agog for the political effect the outcome might have. City Youth Wins School Honor John D. Lytle, 5014 Kenwood Ave., a student at the Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, has been elected a member of the Scarab, national professional architectural fraternity, according to word from Pittsburgh today.

M’ANOREW ASKS $250,000 LIBEL FBOMJIG BILL’ Ex-School Superintendent Seeks Hearing Before 'Honest Court/ By United Press CHICAGO, March 2.—William McAndrew, suspended superintendendent of schools, struck back at Mayor William Hale Thompson today with a libel suit asking $250,000 damages. Praecipe in the suit was filed by Francis X. Busch, attorney for McAndrew, in Superior Court. McAndrew’s dispute with the board of education, led to his fivemonth trial on -charges of unpatriotic conduct and insubordination, and Mayor Thompson’s “America First” campaign. “We’ll give an honest court and an honest jury a chance to decide whether a man who has done his duty can be defamed by a demagogic politician,” Busch said. The “honest court and honest jury” reference was interpreted as a slap at the board of education, which sat as a court to hear the insubordination charges against McAndrew. Attorneys for the suspended superintendent walked out of the hearing room after all the evidence was in, contending that the personnel of the school board made a verdict against McAndrew a certainty.

HONEST SCHOOL HEATING PLANT BIDSJRDERED Tax Board Ready to Fight Law Suit Threatened by Manufacturer. Adamant in its demand for competitive bidding on city school heating and ventilatinr systems, tl.i State tax board today girded itself for any legal action which C. C. Shipp, heating and ventilator equipment manufacturer, might bring to force his systems into the schools. Shipp hurled his law suit threat Thursday afternoon at a conference with the board. At a hearing Tuesday on a proposed $600,000 city school bond issue, the tax board announced that the Indianapolis school building program was brought to a halt until specifications calling for competitive bidding are prepared. Calls for Showdown “What’s this attack on me all about,” asked Shipp after the board had convened Thursday. “All that we want is that specifications provide for open, competitive, free and honest bidding. We have no inclination to discriminate for or against anyone,” answered John Brown, chairman of the board. "You can’t show any specification or a set of specifications issued by the Indianapolis school board for the schools in which my name is mentioned,” said Shipp. “That may be true, but the specifications are so framed that they can use only the Shipp system.” Philip Zoercher, board member, contended. Competitors Blamed “The whole argument against me is caused by disgruntled competitors,” said Shipp. “There must be something wrong when heating and ventilating costs from 25 to 50 per cent more in the Indianapolis schools than elsewhere,” remarked Will Hough, another board member. Jumping up and brandishing his finger under Hough’s nose, Shipp at once shouted: “Do you object to my price because some money passes through my hands?” Hough answered: “Not a bit, providing there isn’t too much passing through your hands.” From then on the meeting was replete with verbal fireworks, lent color by Shipp's stalking to the head

"If we are wrong then the courts can mandate us to do what you think is right.” “You must recognize my position as a taxpayer and I’ll drag you to law about it,” shouted Shipp, shaking his finger under Brown’s nose.

FIGURES THAT TALK The Book of Knowledge Is Making More Than 2,000,000 Children Happy DO YOU know why The Book of Knowledge is so conspicuously successful? Because it instructs and delights the children at the same time. By its winning style, its striking pictures, and, most of all, by psychological arrangement, it captures the child's imagination and makes learning a delight. Step by step the children go through the eighteen great departments: Wonder Questions, The Earth, Familiar Things. Animal Life, Plant Life, Our Own Life, United States, All Countries, Men and Women, Stories, Poetry, Literature, Fine Arts, Things to Make and Do, etc.—the essential knowledge of the world. Appeals to the Child’s Heart There are a number of unique features which no other informational work for the young, except The Book of Knowledge, possesses. Perhaps most important of these is the fact that it has a point of view. A way of looking at things? Yes. but what way? There’s the rub. It must be a right way and a true way if the children are to benefit most. The Book of Knowledge was written with this always in mind. When you want to see something you do not stand with your back to it, but facing it. The gaining of information is perhaps the smallest part of a true education. It is the practical use of that knowledge that counts. The Book of Knowledge tenches children how to look at things and understand them in the right way. Y’ou will be amazed at the moral effect of this work upon your child's mind as well as the arnouut of information which he will store up. 15,000 Pictures—Knowledge at a Glance

The eye is the first great teacher. There are, in The Book of Knowledge, 15,000 striking educational pictures, brought together from every corner of the globe. Interestingly. vividly, at a glance they show the important facts of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten.

HOOSIERS MAY LOSE 2 SEATS IN CONGRESS Bill Reported Favorably for Reapportioning House Members; Shift 24. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 2.—lndiana would lose two members of Congress out of its present delegation of thirteen under the reapportionment bill reported favorably by the House Census Committee today. The bill provides for holding the House at its present number,’ 435, but stipulates that its membership must be redistributed according to Census Bureau estimates of the 1930 census. Under the measure the House would be required to reapportion by 1931, increasing its membership of 415 if it thought necessary. If it failed to act by that time, reapportionment would become effective automatically, with a total of 435 members retained but shifted among the States on the basis of census population figures. Shift 24 Seats The compromise giving the House a chance to reapportion according to its own ideas was adopted to meet objections from States which would lose by a. reapportionment based on 435 members. The automatic provision is a club to force reapportionment, which has not been undertaken since 1910. Twenty-four seats would be shifted from certain States to others under a reapportionment based on the present membership. State to Lose Two The States that would gain the twenty-four seats under the measure, on the basis of 1930 population estimates made by the Census Bureau and on major fraction method, are: Arizona, 1; California, 6; Connecticut, 1; Michigan, 4; Montana, 1; North Carolina, 1; New Jersey, 2; Ohio, 3; Oklahoma, 1: Texas, 2; Washington, 1, and Florida, 1. Those that would lose are: Alabama, 1; Indiana, 2; lowa, 2; Kansas, l; Kentucky. 2; Louisiana, 1; Maine, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri. 4; Nebraska, 1; New York. 2; North Dakota. 1: Tennessee, 1; Vermont, 1, and Virginia, 1.

This wonderful plan is the Idea of a father who loved hts child and was determined to give him the best possible start in life. Today The Book of Knowledge is known and loved the world over. As one mother writes: “There is something missing from the lives of children who grow up without it.”
