INDIANA AUTO PLATE STYLE TO BEYARIED J'Jew Color Combination and Smaller Size Ordered for 1929. 39 STATES TO CHANGE Black and Orange Licenses to Follow Trend to ‘Brunette.’ Indiana is one of thirty-nine that will change the color bination on automobile license es in 1929. The Hoosier plates £re to be "smaller and better,” according to Mark Rhoads, head of the licensing division of the Secretary of State’s office. Since Rhoads took office he has been working on reduction of the size of the plates until he feels that the 1929 issue has neared perfection. The reduced size was nearly perfected this year, but the 1929 plates have been improved by decreasing the numeral widths and making them more readily visible. Motif of the new plates is black and orange—black numerals and letters on an orange background. “Brunettes” Preferred The Indiana plates follow a general trend toward "brunettes” in preference to "blondes,” according to a survey made by the American Automobile Association. There will be twenty-three different color combinations in use next season -the survey show's. Nine States and the District of Columbia will retain the same colors, but reverse the lettering and background. No single color motif can be said to prevail, although six States and the District of Columbia w'ill use yellow letters and numerals on a black background. Black anji white was used in five states this year. The Indiana combination of orange and black will have a total of five supporters, as compared to four in 1928. Four States will use black and white and four green and white.

Myrna Darby . . . the “Gainsborough Girl.”

This is the first of a srrirs of artirles ■written for Tha Time* and NEA Service hy Alfred Cbcnry Johnston, one of the foremost artists among American photographers. Each day he discusses a type of feminine beauty, explains how it best can be enhanced by make-up and coiffure, tells which color schemes and styles of towns he considers most effective. BY ALFRED CHENEY JOHNSTON WHEN Paris presented Venus with a golden apple as a beauty prize, he had a simple task as compared with the jobs of judges in the present-day beauty contests. For the ancients of southern Eu-

have stopped to think how many different types of blondes there are. We have the blue-eyed blonde, the brown-eyed blonde, the one whose hair hints of hidden gold, the silver blonde, the ash-blonde, and still others. /Ml Are Different Skin coloring and physique make one blonde totally dissimiliar to another. Makeup and the types of clothes and colors to be chosen are as largely dependent upon these factors as upon the color of the hair. A striking example of the statuesque type of blonde is Myrna Darby. There are golden glints in her natural blonde hair and her eyes are blue as sapphires. I call Miss Darby my “Gainsborough” model, because she is reminiscent of the wo jen that British master loved to paint. She is tall and willowy, with fair skin and delicate coloring. Girls of this type must exercise unusual care in makeup, to retain all the delicacy with which nature has endowed them. The soft, wavy, hair must be dressed to form a natural picture-frame for the fulloval face beneath. It should be kept long at the sides, so that the line of the jaw will be slightly hidden and the cheek-bones accentuated. Avery light, rachel powder will blend with the natural tint of the fair skin, and a soft tone of rose rouge placed slightly below the cheek-bones will bring out the oval contour. Lip rouge, too, must be of a lighter variety than is usually worn by the brunet. The blonde must be more skillful in her application of -cosmetics than her dark-haired sister, or she will appear artificial and uninteresting Bans Eyebrow Piueking If her brows are colorless, a very slight application of light brown pencil may be applied, but here, too, judicious care must be exercised. The blonde who has her brows plucked or shaved to a mere wisp wilfully disfigures herself. The “Gainsborough” type of girl wears black, white, all pastel tints, all shades of blue and the softer greens to splendid advantage. She should avoid shades of orange and harsh yellow.

URGES CHURCH SHUN POLITICS % Famed Baltimore Lawyer Warns Against *Error.’ Bn Times Special BALTIMORE, Sept. 27.—Bringing politics into the churches is a “grievous error” in the opinion of Dr. Howard A. Kelly, famous Baltimore surgeon, and one of Maryland’s leading Protestant laymen. Dr. Kelly is an ardent dry. Writing to a Baltimore newspaper yesterday, he said: "It is a grievous error, it seems to me. to import politics into the churches—an error that is bound to react disastrously to true faith. “In the first place, such a course involes neglect cf the opportunity to promote the higher things of the spirit, which, duly fostered, automatically regulates our conduct in mundane affairs. “In the second place, it is destructive, whether it is prohibition or politics, because it violates tbe principle of independent judgment in laying down the law to those who cannot reply. “It is my earnest conviction that seasons of worship in buildings dedicated to God ought to be spent in worship, prayer, and praise.” POLICE WIN IN COURT Verdict Against Plaintiff in $25,000 Damage Suit.

AIRPORT SITES CUT TO THREE AFTER SURVEY Committee Is Expected to Make Its Selection Next Week. PRICE CALLED TOO HIGH Most Favored Tract Held at SSOO an Acre by Its Owner. Indianapolis moved rapidly today toward establishment of a modern municipal airport. The Chamber of Commerce airport committee had narrowed the field of favored sites from nine to three, from which final selection probably will be made next Tuesday. Fred C. Gardner, chairman, announced that the committee is completing its work as rapidly as posstL'*, to accommodate Transcontinental Airways, which next spring will open its ocean to ocean, rail-air line, with Indianapolis as a first-class stop, using the municipal field as a landing spot. The three uneliminated sites are No. 30, comprising 926 acres, east of the Chicago division of the Pennsylvania railroad and north of National Rd.; No. 7. adjoining the present Indianapolis* airport along the St. Louis division of the Pennsylvania; and No. 8. so ,th of the fit. Louis division of the Pennsylvania and west of High School Rd. Os these the first received the most favorable comment from aviators and committee members, but the price, SSOO an acre, was regarded as high. The committee will name three independent, appraisers to study these three sites and report Tuesday upon a fair price. Then earnest dickering will begin. Plan for acquisition and development of the airport has not been determined, but it is regarded likely that the city will buy or lease the ground, to make the enterprise purely a municipal affair. Various means of financing are being discussed.

Twentieth Century Rail King Avoids Public Eye With Work

Triples Father’s Mining Fortune in Western Carrier Field. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Arthur Curtiss James, the twentieth century’s foremost railroad man, is an easterner, but' he believes in the West. It was his belief in the West that first prompted his interest in the railway business, apparently. The many, many millions of dollars he has paid for securities all are invested in western lines. It is highly appropriate that this be so, because the James millions originally came from the West. Arthur Curtiss James’ grandfather, Daniel James, founded the family fortune—helping make history the while—out of participation in copper, silver and gold mining enterprises. Little Known Publicly Despite his vast holdings, Arthur Curtiss James is a shadowy sort of figure in the railway world of today. He is an important factor in the control of more railway mileage than ever was controlled by Harriman. Hill and Gould together, but is far less publicly known than any of these three were in their heydeys. He is listed as one of the ten richest men in this rich country, but he seldom steps into the limelight—never, in fact, when he can avoid it. It is said he has tripled the fortune left him by his father, D. Willis James, and that he has doubled it since 1915., So his silver spoon by no means tells the whole story of his financial importance. Goes West Semi-Annually Twice a year J&mes makes a trip to the west and southwest, visiting his railroads, and about once a year he inspects his mines and copper interests in Arizona and New Mexico. Though he travels m his private car and is accompanied by his secretaries there is little ceremony and nothing to suggest the railroad king's retinue. To his associates James Is a genial, energetic, approachable man who likes people, likes a good jok>\ enjoys good food, and works like a tiger. His movements are quick and rapid. Quite indifferent to his appearance, James often wears hats that have seen years of service. His straw hats, particularly, usually are suggestive of former styles. A wrinkl or so in his suits never bothers him In the summer. James practically commutes between New York and Newport, R. 1., spending at leasi four days of each week in the hot city at his office desk. His Newport home is a palace, even for that millionaires’ resort. In it, the Crown Prince of Sweden and other foreign notables have been entertained.

The story of Jessie Clark that eleven boys were murdered on the Northcott ranch was accepted by police as “possible,” but no attempt was made to extend the investigation until evidence has been found in the other four cases.

That was a lot of money and although much of it went for flashy motor-ars and jewelry entirely too much was spent for bootleg whisky. But that was before they took up golf.

“might be true” that Northcott killed eleven boys on the ranch, but the “job now is to connect him definitely with the four murders we already have charged against him. “We feel pretty sure that Walter Collins was killed there,” Decrevecour said. “And we are certain the Mexican boy, whose headless body we found on a. nearby road, was one of the victims, and we are certain we have evidence to prove that the Winslow boys never left the ranch alive. “Within twenty-four hours we will have something definite,” he said.

Millions of Americans in Early Stages, Boston Physician Says. Bp United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Many thousands of persons die annually from cancer and the disease is increasing, at an alarming rate despite present methods of treatment, Dr. Frederick Dugdale of Boston told physicians, surgeons and research workers here today at the seventeenth annual convention of the American Association for MedicoPhysical Research. “Millions in the United States are in early or potential cancerous stages,” Dr. Dugdale said, “and fully 5,000,000 others have the disease sufficiently advanced to be detected easily.” Deaths from cancer in 1927 were estimated at from 100,000 to 500,000, the doctor said, and a large percentage of deaths attributed to other causes were in reality from unrecognized cancer. “Surgery, X-ray and radium treatments have failed to check the disease,” said Dr. Dugdale. “But cancer is curable and preventable, according to the findings of Dr. William F. Koch, physiologist and bio-chemist of Detroit. Dr. Koch has conducted an extensive research, in the course of which he has discovered cancer to be a constitutional blood disease. Encouraging results have been obtained through use of a synthetic antitoxin.” From careful Investigation. Dr. Dugdale said he had determined certain pre-cancerous symptoms which, if acted upon by potential victims of the disease, would save thousands of lives. Such symptoms, he said, include sinking sensations, sudden temporary loss of vision, blinding flashes of light, sick headache, various forms of rheumatism, and stomach ulcers.

WIUEBRANDT TO CONTUSE STUMP TOUR Given Full Authority to Campaign for Hoover in Her Own Way. AL’S FAULT, SHE SAYS Candidate Injected Issue of Religion, Sargent's Aid Declares. * Bit United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Mrs. Mabel Walker Wiilebrandt, assistant U. S. attorney general, was on her way back to Washington today with full authority from the Republican campaign speakers’ bureau here to continue her campaign for Herbert Hoover in any way that she pleases. Although she denied she came here because of the furore in both parties over her attacks upon Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential candidate, Mrs. Willebrandt appeared unexpectedly in Chicago yesterday. After spending the morning dodging reporters, she finally consented to be interviewed. She said that Governor Smith, instead of herself, had injected both the religious and prohibition issues into the presidential campaign. Asked. “Have you been making your addresses as a free lar.ee or under auspices of the speakers’ bureau and do you intend to continue making speeches throughout the country?” Mrs. Wiilebrandt turned to Congressman Walter H. Newton, head of the speakers’ bureau, and said: "I think that I’ll let Mr. Newton answer that for me.” “Mrs. Wiilebrandt certainly has been speaking under the auspices of the speakers’ bureau of the Republican national committee,” Newton said. Work Is Evasive BY LEO R. SACK Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—N0 decision has been reached by the Republican national committee concerning the future campaign activities of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willeoranat, assistant attorney general, Chairman Hubert Work said today. “Nothing has been decided,” Dr. Work said, following a long distance telephone conversation with Representative Walter Newton, chairman of the speakers’ bureau in Chicago, under whose auspices Mrs. Willeorandt has made some of her speeches. “What about the report that Mrs. Wiilebrandt is to take a ‘vacation,’ ” Dr. Work was asked. “I neither can affirm nor deny that.” Work denied, however, a report that he had suggested that If Mrs. Wiilebrandt speaks in the future she modify her speeches. “I made no suggestion like that,” he said. Mrs. Willebrandt’s first speech in Ohio before Methodist ministers at Springfield was not und<;r auspices of the national committee, Dr. Work said. Hoover himself, although aware of the furore raised by Mrs. Wiilebrandt, has refrained from interfering. He takes the position that the campaign is being directed by the national committee, and that the speakers are a national committee problem. Activities Deplored (Bv Bcrlpps-Howard Alliance) CLEVELAND, Sept. 27.—Maurice Maschke, Republican national committeeman from Ohio, Wednesday deplored the tactics Mrs. Mabel Walker Wiilebrandt has used in attacking Governor Alfred E. Smith in Ohio. Mrs. Wiilebrandt, assistant United States attorney general, in two speeches before Methodist Church bodies, has urged that the church use its influence to defeat Smith because of his prohibition stand, and has urged active work against Smith by ministers and laymen. Maschke was asked this question: “As Republican national committeeman from Ohio, what do you think of the campaign tactics symbolized by the speeches of Mrs. Wiilebrandt?” He answered: “Mrs. Willebrandt’s efforts surely are well-intentioned, but misguided. Evidently she is endeavoring to persuade the Methodist Church, the chief protagonist for the prohibition amendment, that it is its duty to fight to pheserve the amendment. I do not think that this has been at all helpful. “I believe the campaign should be waged only along one line, the super-qualification of our candidate to fill the office of President of the United States.” HELPS HOOVER CLUB Merle Sidener Is Finance Director of Indiana Units.
