RADIO BOARD IS VOTED ANOTHER YEAR OF LIFE Speed Still Necessary to Push Bill Through for Coolidge. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, March 13.—The House won its race against time Monday and passed the radio bill, extending the life of the Federal Radio Commission for another year. Additional speed still is necessary, as the Senate and House must get together on differences in the bill and it must be signed by President Coolidge before Thursday midnight, or radio dictatorship will revert to Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Indiana’s delegation divided in the House vote late yesterday on the amendment to the radio bill which would compel the radio commission to give equal treatment to all States and territories in the allocation of power, broadcasting license and wave lengths. Representatives Canfield, Gardner, Greenwood, Hall and Hogg voted for the amendment and Representatives Rowbottom, Johnson, Elliott, Purnell, Hickey, Vestal and Wood against it. Representative Updike did not vote, being in Indiana. During the debate Representative White of Maine, chairman of the merchant marine committee, which reported out the bill, said that Indiana. with 500,000 more population than lowa, had seven fewer stations ;v and only one-fourth the power. He inserted a table showing that Indiana has only eighteen stations, with slightly more than 6,000 watts power, against seventy stations and 83,000 watts for Illinois and thirtyone stations with 27,000 watts for Ohio.

CLEAN KIDNEYS BY DRINKING LOTS OF WATER Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Bladder Bothers or Back Hurts. Eating too much rich food may produce kidney trouble in some form, says a well-known authority, because the acids created excite the kidneys. Then they become overworked, get sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren’t acting right, or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots cf good water and also get about so ir ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the add of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity; also to neutralize the acids in the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus aften avoiding serious kidney disorders.—Advertisement.

Life’s Been a 20-Year Funeral for Gatemen

Gateman Bert Middleton and George Neat

Middleton and Neat Haven’t Minded the Long Parade of Dead to Burial. Waiting for the next funeral is the job of George Neat, 63, of 1453 W. Thirty-Fourth St. Dressed in a grayish-blue uniform, INeat sits in a swivel chair at the west entrance of Crown Hill cemetery looking for the hearses. He holds a schedule of the day's burials in his hand, looking out from a tower on the two monument yards across Boulevard PI. On the right is a greenhouse. When the funeral procession makes its appearance, Neat turns to an electric switchboard which rings a bell in the section where the next burial is to take place. As the funeral coach reaches the huge stone arch he checks the burial permit with the cemetery records to insure a legal burial. If the permit is not correct Neat orders the funeral party held up until the tangle is straightened out by the undertakers. Delays Are Few “It Is seldom we have to delay a funeral procession. But once in a while we have trouble with burial permits issued on a steamship,’’ he said. Neat who started working at the cemetery as a laborer twenty-four years ago had “teamed” with Gateman Bert Middleton. 1C29 W. Thir-ty-Fifth St., for twenty years. Middleton has worked for the cemetery twenty-eight years. “I’ve got to have a job and I never believed much in changing around. After a fellow works here a while he doesn't want to die,” said Neat. “In winter It Is dark when we come to work and dark when we go home. There is seldom a funeral without someone I know. There are 82,000 persons buried here and that brings lots of folks to Crown Hill. We bury about 2,000 a year. Not So Sad "Since I started on this job I have been late three times and off five days because of illness in my family. And I’ve never been called down. “It’s not so sad working at a place of this kind. We often go out to get a burial permit with a song on our lips. There is no use taking everyone’s troubles seriously. If you did, it would drive you to the bughouse. “Yes, I believe in Immortality. I reckon there Is a life after death. We don’t know, but they say there is. When you die your spirit goes above,” Neat said. Burial of loved ones—once the duty of neighbors—today is as highly systematized as modern industry. Instead of family friends preparing the grave—as still is the custom in small Indiana cemetery office issues an “order” to Sexton Boss Irwin Henry, who turns over the job to two of the sixteen (Negro grave diggers. Wagonman William Noblet, 3518 Kenwood Ave., who drives the cemetery bus, soon will finish his thirtieth year at the graveyard. TEST CROSSING GATES New' Safety Device to Be Given Trial Wednesday. Anew type of railroad crossing warning will be tested Wednesday morning at the County Line road on the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Company line. John A.

Several rail safety experts will watch the demonstration. Propelled by oil pump compression, gates lower when the train is within 1,500 feet of the crossing. Enough room is left on each side of the track for an automobile to be safe although caught between the gates. A gong rings aimultaneously with the lowering of the gates.

A Criminal Court jury in a sealed verdict returned today freed Elbert Johnson, 22. of 1122 Woodlawn Ave., of a manslaughter charge arising from the death of James Daugherty, Aug. 2, 1926. Daugherty, 69. was killed when Johnson’s auto struck him as he was standing in a safety zone at Delaware and Washington Sts. Johnson's defense attacked the city safety zone ordinance. The ordinance, passed by council June 14. 1922, was never published and therefore is illegal, Defense Attorney Frederick E. Bonifield contended. Howard E. Robertson, safety board secretary, testified that there is no record of publication in safety board records. The defense also contended that the accident occurred after 7 p. m. and that the ordinance, if it were legal, only prohibits motorists from driving through safety zones between 6 a. m. and 7 p. m.

NEW LANDSLIDE ROARING DOWN ON BRAZIL CITY Second Avalanche Isolates Stricken Region From Rest of Santos. By United Press SANTOS, Brazil. March 13.—The terrible roar of anew landslide echoed through Santos today as a veritable torrent of rain struck the city and made communication impossible. Workers trying to clear wreckage of the great avalanche from towering Mt. Serrat that struck a working quarter of the city Saturday were isolated from the rest of the city. So far no one has been able to ascertain the extent of the new landslide. The streets were flooded by the rain, the heaviest in years even in this tropical country. Traffic throughout the city is paralyzed. Residents at the base of the hill, who already had not taken advantage of warnings, fled in front of the moving debris. The city had been warned that this new disaster would be thrice greater than Saturday's. Already the vagaries of the hill, I which has been one of the beauty 1 spots of this coffee capital, have I caused a death toll of forty-three. 1 It is believed many other bodies are i buried. ! There had been exaggerated re- ; ports that more than 100 bodies had | been recovered. However, the death | list might be increased to 120 before all the bodies are found. The possibility of the new lardslide became known Monday when great fissures appeared on one side | of Mount Serrat, which stands in the center of the city. For hours slides of minor proportions has caused little damage. The siide Saturday carried with it 500,000 cubic yards of rock and soil, i It started w hirling down upon the j city before a warning could be given. j Even before the new’ slide started ; at midnight, it was estimated sevI eral days would be required before | the complete death list would be ! known, so difficult were the excavaI tions.
