FAKE WKiSKERS ’GIVE AWAY'SSO DOCTORED BILLS Counterfeit Notes Made in Jail by Ralph Lee Traced Here. If you are fortunate enough to have a SSO bill in your pocket examine it at once. Pay particular at tention to General Grant’s whisker •. Are they genuine or can you discern on close examination that it's not the general at all, but old George Washington with the whiskers added by a clever artist in pen and ink? If your General Grant is wearing ‘■phony” whiskers you’re $49 poorer, but probably have in your possession a specimen of the artistry of Ralph Lee, Hoosier bandit and jail breaker often called Indiana’s Gerald Chapman, a one dollar bill raised to a fifty. Trace Bill Here Secret service agents have traced to Indianapolis at least one of the raised bills on which Lee worked in the Tennessee state prison at Nashville, Tenn., to while away part of the long term he is serving on a robbery charge. % A month ago prison authorities caught Lee working on a bill in hxs cell. They had suspected his activities before, but never were able to catch him. In his cell they found the drawing pens, ink and other materials he had used in his counterfeiting. Lee, it is believed, passed the bills out of the prison through a trusty who received one-third of the profits. One of the bills was sent to a Negro washwoman here by a Nashville friend. She gave it to a coal company in payment of a bill. The coal company deposited it in an Indianapolis bank, where currency expert of the bank discovered the counterfeiting. Formerly Artist Lee formerly was a commercial artist here. His mother lives here now, but an active career of crime, during which he has escape and from prison more than a dozen times, has taken him to all parts of the country. He still is charged with the murder of Abner Peek, Speedway City grocer, in a holdup several years ago, but twice jurips have failed to convict him. BRING BIG BILL’S ASHES TO U. S. FOR BURIAL Remains of Heywood Will Be Interred in Chicago. EJ) Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—The Workers’ (Communist) Party announced today that half of the ashes of Willwiam Dudley (Big Bill) Haywood are on their way to America, to receive burial in Chicago next Sunday, the anniversary of the hanging of four men for complicity in the Haymarket bomb deaths in Chicago in 1887. The ashes in an urn will arrive in New York during the week, according to the advices from Moscow, where part of the ashes lie interred at the Red Square, under the walls of the Kremlin. It was said that ‘‘Big Bill’s” wish was being observed in the return of the urn to America. Haywood died in Moscow on May 18, after a period of exile from the United States, where he was prominent for years in I. W. W. battles. ENLARGE RED CROSS EE Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—The Red Cross called today for an enlarged membership, due to the requirement of a substantially increased budget for next year’s operations in view of the expansion of activities and heavy demands for disaster relief. A budget of $4,798,000 has been decided upon, James L. Fieser, acting chairman, said, and it is hoped to increase the membership by nearly 1,000,000 to an aggregate of 6,000,000. The roll call for members will continue from Armistice day to Thanksgiving.

Educational Ballot Test Is Conducted for Future Voters. “Sure, we split plenty.” So said many of the students at Washington high school Tuesday, when they voted in a mock election. The “educational election” was staged by the Civic Quest and American Government class under Miss Katheryn D. Smith. Most of the 1,000 students voted. The ballots were regulation Australian and carried national, state, and some of the county officers who ran in the regular election. Twelve

‘Dying Places’ of Ancient Camels and Bears Found

Sick and Aged Animals of Distant Eras Succumbed in Peace. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Travelers in the Andean highlands of South America often have reported areas in which the two types ox camels, the llamas and guanacos. repair when death approaches, there to leave their mortal parts often undisturbed by predatory an: • mals. These “dying-places” are sail to be desolate places which none but the sick and the aged seek out Certain caves in the rocky mountains of Europe are thought to have been used in a similar manner by the cave-bears. These associates and enemies of early man often had worn smooth places on the rock:; in narrow places in the caves wheie they later came to pass quietly away Fossil animals of considerable antiquity are thought by scientists to have had a similar custom. In the sides of a large hill in northwestern Nebraska many skeletons of a small, graceful camel, slightly larger than a greyhound, have been found in such situations as to suggest an ancient practice of the custom of seeking out “dying places,” far back in the history of the camels. The fossil animals, called steno-

voting booths were arranged in regulation style. The students lined up, had their names checked off the poll books, and marked their ballots, just as they will do after they are of age. The picture shows Twighla Keller and Marcella Beamey, poll book holders, checking off voters’ names before handing them ballots.

There in the sand, long since converted into rock, these early camels lie in precisely the same attitudes which they had assumed at death in a time when the races of mammals were young. Disease and injury have .played no part in the mortality of these ancient camels, who voluntarily had selected this spot as their last resting place.

Fine Neighbors Frank C. Dailey’s home precinct, the second of the Eighth ward, went completely Democratic. Dailey for Governor carried it over Harry G. Leslie, Republican, 686 to 374. A1 Smith beat Hoover 418 to 248 in the precinct; Albert Stump for senator, beat Arthur Robinson, Republican, 554 to 506, and Louis Ludlow for congressman, beat Ralph E. Updike, Republican, 648 to 419. Dailey’s victory was the more remarkable, because he lives in normally Republican territory.

THREE ONSEEN PLANETS MAY RE REVEALED Scientist Believes He Has Clews of 0. S. and P. Ey Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 7—Announcement comes from the observatory of Professor William H. Pickering, an American astronomer on the island of Jamaica, in the British West Indies, that he has found evidence which convinces him of the existence of three unseen planets traveling in orbits outside the known limits of the solar system. He has computed the elements for the suspected bodies and plotted their approximate position. Sky searches are being made, but professor Pickering said recently that he doubts if the nearest planet will be seen before February, 1929. Then it should be on the meridian at midnight, favorably placed for observation. Labels Bodies “This nearest of the three bodies, which I have provisionally labeled Planet O,” explained Professor Pickering, “has a mass about threefourths that of the earth. Its diameter is approximately 7.000 miles. In February it will be about 2,800

millions of miles distant from the earth and should shine as a star of the twelfth magnitude. “Next beyond O is Planet S. Its mass is more than five times the earth’s. It moves in an orbit about 4,459 millions of miles distant and should shine as of the tenth magnitude. Larger Than O “Still further out in space is planet J, a massive body that outweighs the earth nineteen times. Planet P moves in an orbit about 6,300 million miles from the sun. This is more that double the distance of O, but because of its larger size P reflects more sunlight and should rate in brightness as of the eleventh magnitude.” Should the telescope confirm the astronomer's computations, the result would be another brilliant achievement for mathematical science. At one stroke three new members would be added to the sun’s family of planets, and peculiarities in certain motions of the solar system would be explained.

Cascara is Your Doctor’s Choice

When physicians pronounce cas-_ cara the PERFECT laxative—why experiment with things that lash the system into action? Cascara, you know, is the bark of a tree. A natural and normal stimulus to the bowels. The Indians, who used to chew this bank, had no word in their language that meant “constipation!" Perfect regularity is possible today, and to all of us. We have cascara in ideal form; the very de-lightful-tasting candy Cascaret gives us pure cascara. It has helped at least a million people to habitual regularity. Millions of others, unfortunately, have stuck to stronger things and acquired only the laxative habit. *t

Your first Cascaret will demonstrate how THOROUGH this gentle laxatixe is, after all. Your next surprise will be the length of time before you need another. Eventually, you'll see that cascarizing tends to make the bowels move thereafter of their own accord! A modern drugstore must stock many laxatives, but for your own good the druggist would rather have you ask for the inexpensive little box of Cascarets than anything else. —Advertisement.
