IF you must kiss in an airplane, don’t kiss too long, for you might distract the pilot’s attention from flying. Many young couples, according to Harold C. Brooks, Hoosier airport secretary-treasurer, celebrate airplane rides with kisses, ranging from long soulful salutes to the short nervous smacky kind. When they kiss too long, he said, some pilots enjoy dipping the nose of the plane suddenly to make them " ‘break’ and get their breath,"

HEALTH BOARD PUTS WATCH UN DANCERS One of Marathon ‘Hoofers/ Who Dropped Out, Found to Have Diphtheria. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM Physicians Say Danger to Snectators Is Slight; Place Safeguards. Participants and attendants of marathon dance contest under way at Tomlinson Hall were ordered under surveillance today by the city health board, after it discovered that a young dancer who dropped out a week ago was suffering from diphtheria. Dr. H. S. Leonard of the health board declared there should be no general alarm, since there was practically no danger of spectators having been exposed to the disease and little chance that any of the dancers or trainers would develop it at this late date. "Most of the dancers are at an age which normally is immune from diphtheria, anyway,” said Dr, Leonard. The dance started at 9 p. m., Oct. 4. It is being staged by Minneapolis promoters under auspices of Memorial Post, No. 4, American Legion. The promoters say they are splitting the gross receipts with the Legion. The dancers are contesting for a SI,OOO first prize and SI,OOO in minor prizes. Girl Goes to Hospital The day after the dance started, Miss Irene Hughey, 18, of 1122 Maple St., collapsed. A doctor attached to the dance sent her to city hospital. Records there show that her illness was diagnosed as diphtheria at the time. The case did not come to attention of the health board until late Thursday, when Raymond Scott, at whose home Miss Hughey had been living, protested because his home had been quarantined. He declared Miss Hughey had not been at his house for a week bdfore the dance started and he could not understand why he and his family were bottled up and the marathon permitted to continue. Dr. Leonard, Dr. E .E. Padgett, and Dr. Walter Kelly of the health board investigated the situation this morning. They said they learned that, the rules keep the dancers away from the public, but that the trainers are free to come and go. Board Takes Action After a long discussion of the situation the board took these steps: 1. Directed Dr. Homer Warick of the staff of the marathon organization, with Dr. John Leach, city contagious disease inspector, to examine and take throat cultures of each of the twenty-four dancers remaining and all others housed in Tomlinson Hall in connection with the marathon. Most of the dancers have trainers. The promoters have an organization of about half a dozen. 2. Segregation and immunization of any persons found infected with diphtheria. 3. Such surveillance as the inspector deems necessary to see that there is no danger to the public. 4. Removal of the quarantine at the Scott residence if a re-inspec-tion warrants it. The health board doctors said that diphtheria usually breaks out from seven to nine days after exposure. If any other dancers were infected it should be known in a day or two, the physicians pointed out. No Cause for Alarm The doctors said investigation developed nothing to warrant a quarantine at Tomlinson Hall and again stressed the point that there is no occasion for alarm on the part of those who go to see the dancers. Dr. Kelly said he believed immunization a more efficient means of preventing the disease than quarantine. Dr. Jesse Martin, chief resident physician of city hospital, attended the health board conference and rported facte regarding the girl dancer’s illness. Dr. Martin also announced that Miss Jeanette Welch, 18, of 19 N. Oriental St., who callapsed at the dance Sunday night, was released fro mthe hospital Thursday. She suffered merely from a bad case of exhaustion, doctors said. W 0 MAN~STRUC~KB UTO Driver of Machine Being Held by Police, Mrs. Lucy Porter, Room A, the Shiel Apts., was painfully injured Thursday night when struck by an automobile driven by Morris Seiko, 49, of 98 E. Maple Boad Blvd. Sergt. Frank Riley, who witnessed the accident at Meridian and New York Sts., arrested Seiko on charges of assault and battery and disobeying, a traffic signal. Sergeant Riley said Seiko drove across New York St. with the red light against him.

"A pilot usually can tell married couples from unmarried couples before they get in the plane,” Brooks said. “Usually one person holds back and has to be coaxed to take a ride. With young unmarried couples it usually is the girl who has to be coaxed, while married women usually take the’lead in inducing their husbands to ride.” Age plays but little part in reaction of a person taking his first airplane ride, Brooks said. During the last summer, he as-

ROBINSON ASSAILS BORAH’S STAND AS CURTIS SLAPS AL

BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD CURTIS CAR EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Senator Charles Curtis was on his way back to Washington today after a month’s campaign in sixteen Western and Middle Western States, confident of a Republican landslide for the Hoover-Curtis ticket. “Reports in all the States I have visited have been more than encouraging,” Curtis said. "I feel certain the West and Central West will go Republican overwhelmingly. I never have seen Republicans more active than they are this year.” Curtis concluded his Western drive last night with a speech at Janesville, Wis., in which he again promised effective farm relief legislation if a Republican President and Congress are re-elected, and attacked Governor Alfred E. Smith’s agricultural program. “The Eastern Governor who came West to see a farm has made statements on the farm relief question which demonstate conclusively that he kno' r s nothing about the problems of agricultural communities,” he said. A capacity audience in the high school auditorium applauded Curtis’ sallies at "Brother Smith.”

MRS. V. A. TRASK, 323 E. Thirty-First St., is Indianapolis’ first full-ledged woman aviator, following her solo flight today at Hoosier airport, Kessler Blvd. and Lafayette pike. She is the first of two women students at the airport to solo The other student is expected to -be graduated within a week or ten days. When she is not flying, Mrs. Trask is-a laboratory technician at city hospital. Her husband, a patent attorney, learned to fly during the World War, but has not been active in aviation since. Mrs. Trask was praised highly by Capt. Earl W. Sweeney, Hoosier Airport student instructor, who said she learned to fly quicker and with less difficulty than many men. The solo flight was made after eleven hours’ instruction, the average for male students. Her success has aroused at the airport the time-worn question, whether women make as good fliers as men. "Our experience,” Harold C. Brooks, airport secretary-treasurer, said, "is that women learn as easily and make as good fliers as men. "Just to prove it, we would like to start a class of women students at the same time as a class of men students, and see which group is graduated first. I would wager the women wouldn’t be far behind the men as a group.”

Robinson, Democratic candidate for Vice President, again will reply to Senator William E. Borah in a speech at Boise, Idaho, next Tuesday, it was disclosed today as his special train sped across Nevada on its way to Sacramento, Seattle and Portland. Senator Robinson indicated he would accuse Borah of reversing his views on Herbert Hoover, the Republican candidate. At Reno, Nev., last night, Robinson hammered away at Hoover on the Boulder Canyon dam project and repeated charges that Hoover had contradicted himself in statements on that topic. He quoted a newspaper interview with Hoover, in which he said he never favored anything but Government construction of the proposed dam. Then he quoted Hoover as saying in a prepared address that he did not believe the Government should go into the business of distributing electrical powers.

LINK KILLING IN FT. WAYNE WITH CAR RING Left-Handed Man Is Sought as Marion Durbin’s Murderer. SQUEALING WAS FEARED Robbery Not Motive; Gems and Money Ignored at Death Scene. BY BEN STERN The bludgeon blows which beat Marion Durbin to death in her elaborately furnished Ft. Wayne apartment Sunday morning, may send one Indianapolis undßpworld character to the chair arsH beat home Federal cases against members of the interstate auto theft ring, whom Government agents will arrest when they are located. Circumstantial details which Charles Bridges, State police lieutenant, and Ft. Wayne police are attempting to dovetail will, if proved, throw new light upon the operations of the auto ring and may reveal the identity of members of a holdup gang who operate in the State, Marion Durbin, also known as Ruth Freeland, a figure in Indianapolis ten years ago was not murdered for her jewelry, because when her body was found by a maid Monday morning valuable rings remained on her fingers, police records show. Search Not for Money The drawers of her dressers and tables and a trunk had been ransacked, but it was not for money. Bloody fingerprints were found in two pocketbooks in the apartment. Both pocketbooks, one identified by a Negro maid as belonging to the slain woman, were empty. Information in possession of investigators reveal that when in Indianapolis Marion Durbin was the friend of characters in police annals. While living in Ft. Wayne, police have information that she was visited often by both Chicago and Indianapolis men with police records. She was deep in the confidences of these men, police know. She was particularly intimate and had been seen in Ft. Wayne in the company of an Indianapolis man sought by police, whose Record is known to be bad. Killer Was Left-Handed The man who killed Marion Durbin struck her first on her right cheek, breaking the cheek bone. Prints of the knuckles show the blow to have been struck by a left hand. That first blow sent Marion Durbin to the wall telephone to call for aid. The telephone was struck off the wall by tl e slayer, who then hit her on the head, probably with the butt of a pistol. Police are attempting to learn who her companions were at a roadhouse where she was reported to have been Saturday night. Her body was found Monday. She was believed to have been dead about twenty-four hours when found, and the murder could have been committed late on Sunday morning. At 10 o’clock Sunday night, while pedestrians were on their way home from the theater district, two bandits held up the Thomas Cohen dry goods store, 928 Massachusetts Ave., took more than SI,OOO in cash and escaped in an automobile. Rob Filling Station Sunday night in Ft. Wayne two bandits answering the description of the perpetrators of the Indianapolis robbery held up a Silver Flash filling station in Ft. Wayne and escaped in exactly the same type car used in the robbery here. Portrait of an Indianapolis man wanted by police here was identified partially by the filling station attendant as one of the two holdup men. Bridges says. This same man is known to have been an intimate friend of Marion Durbin. He was connected with high powered underworld characters here. He is left-handed. Marion Durbin Was deep in the confidence of underworld characters believed to have been connected with the interstate auto theft ring. Feared She Would “Squeal” She may have had in her possession information which would have thrown light upon Indiana bank robberies and other crimes. Such information. Bridges says, may have been written. Possible motive for the murder: Marion Durbin in a moment of anger may have threatened to have turned her information over to State and Federal officials investigating Indiana’s crime rings. "Dead women tell no tales,” says Bridges,

The almost universal question asked the pilot is: “How high were \%e?” Never, in years of flying, Brooks said, has he had a passenger signal him to land immediately. “Frequently they make the pilot promise to land if they want to, and I always tell them to hold up their hand, but they never do.”

NEW DE PAUW HEAD URGES WDRLDPEACE Warless Society Through Education Advocated by Dr. Oxnam. SERVICE IS REAL TEST Three Vital Forces Working Toward General Unity, He Declares. Bji Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. 12. Development of a warless society, with economic practices based upon ethical principlesi was urged by Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, De Pauw University’s new president, in his inaugural address here today. Speaking on the topic of "Education and the New Society,” Dr. Oxnam pointed out the need for a social organization which "beholds the needs of all men everywhere, that abundant life becomes the lot of all.” "Never in history has there been such a universal yearning for a New Society. Men are dreaming of a day when the objective of our social endeavor shall have changed, when the primary object of our work; life is the enrichment of personality rather than the acquisition of things, when the test of a man’s greatness is guaged not by his possessions, but rather by the service he has rendered in the interests of lifting standards of mankind," President Oxnam declared. Love Must Be Ruling Force "To thinking men around the world has come a realization of the fact that, regardless of our social status, whatever may be our political persuasion or economic philosophy, no matter what our religious affiliation, all of us must direct our talents to that sublime task of building a social order wherein supremacy of personality is recognized, wherein greatness is based upon service rendered, and wherein love is the ruling force among men.” Education must answer the question of "How will the future reckon with the workingman?” "We are to create tomorrow; we dare not conform to yesterday. Yet tomorrow, to be of permanent human value, must be developed from the past through the creative activity of the rising generation. "The educational force must develop a type of mind that knows how to conserve and how to create, a type of mind that would create a better tomorrow, but would build the tomorrow that is to be better upon the best of the past. "Through the educational process, to banish war from the earth, it is necessary that we develop a generation possessed of a world mind. Our students must think in world terms, as did our Master. Provincialism is a fertile field, wherein seeds of national distrust, racial hatred, and industrial suspicion take root. Student Should Know World “The man of world mind understands and urges a foreign policy that makes for friendship and the eventual federation of the world. It is a matter of international understanding or armament.” Necessity of the modern student being familiar with physical characteristics of all nations, their economic background, the history of their institutions and ideas and psychological characteristics of the people was cited by the educator. Dr. Oxnam declared the universal use of the English language, moving pictures, and research laboratories are three vital forces working toward world unity. "Economic practices are to be judged by ethical criteria. In a word, our economic activities are to be regulated by ethical principles, and for the Christian school these ethical principles are none other than the social ideals of Jesus. “We need to rely upon the American traditions of free discussion an honest willingness to face facts as they are, the desire to place the foundation of equal opportunity down underneath all our people,” asserted Dr. Oxnam. Roy O. West Presides Roy O. West, president of De Pauw trustees, presided over the inauguration service in Bowman memorial gymnasium. Bishop Edgar Blake of the Indianapolis area of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, former De Pauw president; Bishop Raymond J. Wade and other church and educational leaders participated in the ceremony. Dedication of Lucy Rowland Hall for co-eds and a meeting of the alumni council, headed by President Dwight S. Ritter, Indianapolis, were features of the afternoon program. Dr. Oxnam will be honored at a reception tonight. He was professor of homiletics at Boston University and social ethics at University of Southern California before coming to Greencastle to succeed Dr. Lemuel H. Murlin. Murlin resigned to accept the pastorate of the American Church in Berlin. Old Gold day home-coming festivities are scheduled for Saturday.
