BILL POINTS TO ALL-REPUBLICAN CITYJOUNCIL Minority Would Have No Chance Under Clancy Measure. There will be no Democrats in the Indianapolis city council, if majority party voting continues as at present and city manager government becomes taboo, should the bill introduced in the senate Wednesday by Senator Sumner Olancy, Indianapolis, become a law. The law now provides that no party may have more than six of the nine councilmen. Clancy took offense at linking the attempts to thwart cities from adopting the city manager form with his new mayor and aldermanic plan bill. He admitted, however, that he is opposed to allowing cities optional forms of government and indicated that he will muster all the support he can for the Sims bill, which will prohibit cities from adopting the city manager form. The bill, introduced in the senate by Senator George W. Sims, Terre Haute, provides for absolute repeal of all city manager laws. "Indianapolis now has one of the finest federal system charters in the United States,” Clancy said. “It has been adopted by Boston and other cities because of its perfection. My bill merely co-ordi-nates the government and fixes party responsibility.”' By this the author of the bill meant that a minority party is unlikely to be represented in the council. It provide for nine aldermen, six to be selected as candidates from the present six aldermanic districts and three to be elected from the city at large. Not more than nine from any party can be selected in the prihighest vote in the general election then form the council. The bill also provides salary boosts for the mayor, city attorney, corporation counsel and superintendent of police. It gives the councilmen $2,400 a year. They now get only S6OO. “Under the Indiana constitution the cities receive their grants of power from the state and it is up to the legislature to enact laws providing for „heir government,” Clancy continued. The senator stated that he felt the huge vote for city manager government here was “no mandate” on him. He asserted that he felt the election never should nave been held when it was well known that the law was being tested in the supreme court for its constiutionality. 1929 “Mad Anthony” Flies Bp Times Special FT.

ELLEN TURNS ON THE GAS AND KEEPS IT ON Three Leading Plays in New York Kill Their Heroines or Leading Males in the Final Act. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN GAS pouring out of a stove in a one-room apartment house fills the stage of the Klaw theater in New York. Ellen, our heroine who couldn’t play the game straight with any man, begins coughing, but the gas stay3 on. Even the audience begins coughing. The gas •wins and Ellen has breathed her last as the curtain goes down. Then the audience, still coughing and nearly stunned, leaves the theater. Probably you will not believe me when I tell you that three of the most talked of plays in New York just now have the “sad” endings.

Our cheating heroine in “Gypsy,” the play who has Ellen as the chief character, turns on the gas and passes on. The heroine and * the leading male in "Dynamo” meet death in the last few minutes of the play and the young scientist in “Wings Over Europe” is shot down by an English cabinet member in full sight of the audience just before the final curtain. It seems that the playwrights of at least three plays have put their fingers up to their noses in a polite gesture against the sobby, happy Pollyanna ending that has no bearing to the play. I for one have never considered audiences to be boobs and I never will. I think the boobs often have been the writers and the producers who thought that a play, regardless of whether it was consistent or not, should have a happy ending. In “Gypsy,” the new Richard Herndon offering that, features Clairborne Foster, last seen in “The Patsy” in Indianapolis at English’s, the characters are not the sweet Sunday school going type. As the curtain goes up, Ellen, who is married to David, is doing a kissing matinee with Cleve, one of those author guys who seems to feel at home with the wives of other men in his arms. Ellen is a liar and a cheat. She wants to do right but she seems to have inherited the liar trait from her mother who has not been too careful with her male associates while married. Ellen has a peach of a husband and he swallows her story line, hook and sinker. Ellen has an easy go at her love affairs because David plays in a movie orchestra, and of course, is not home much. He loves Ellen even too honestly. When he should have been wise his fear that he might lose her makes a boob of him. Now Ellen’s mama is a modem knockout. Men are men to her, all of ’em and she seems to want ’em all. Ellen “hates” her mother and tells her wh>\ Then mama speaks up and tells Ellen that .she is a liar and a sex cheat just as she is. Mama is wise enough to know that the whole business only ends in misery and .even death. But Ellen just can’t stay straight even when she wants to even for the noble purpose of trying not to make David un- i happy. She finally kicks over the domestic traces, leaves David flat and takes up her abode in a little squalid room. Os course, Cleve, the boy friend is hanging about. He has his own key to her room but he is beginning to become led up on his little Ellen. Then the ending—Cleve leaves her flat when she starts to two-time him. Then word that her own mama had turned on the gas in Canada, thus ending her adventure with another man. Ellen is done with telling lies. The only way to

guarantee her future against lies is turn on the gas just like mama. And she does right in front of the audience. Miss Foster has shown big growth in the art of characterization. She puts none of the Polyanna. traits into her conception of Ellen. Miss Foster is acting now because she is broadening her scope of acting. And I for one do not fear that she will hold onto her young stage following in such death roles just as she did in “The Patsy” type of play. I think that “Gypsy” is a sincere

TREATMENT OF NEW KONJOLA BANISHED HEALTH TROUBLES Gas Bloating, Heart Palpitation and Indigestion Pains Yield to Meri.ts of Master Medicine. Since Konjola has been introduced in Indianapolis it has become the talk of the drug and medical trades throughout this entire section. It is said that no sufferer can afford not to give Konjola a trial. Its medicinal qualities, in- / MRS. FREMAN HENDERSON —Photo by National Studio. eluding the juices from twenty-two roots and herbs are combined with other recognized ingredients, making up a compound that Nature herself might recommend. Ailments of the stomach, liver, kidneys and liver, kidneys and bowels quickly yield to a treatment of this medicine. Rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness are banv-hed as if by magic and best of all the relief is permanent and sure. In the interest of suffering humanity many people relieved of these ailments are indorsing Konjola. Take, for instance, the case of Mrs. Freman Henderson, R. R. No. 6, Edgewood, Indianapolis, who gave a detailed report about the work of Konjola to the Konjola Man who is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington street, this city, where he is explaining the merits of this remedy. “It seems as though I had been suffering for centuries and that I would continue to do so because of the failure of medicine to relieve me,” said Mrs. Henderson, “but I have taken a treatment of Konjola and this remedy opened anew life of health and glorious energy for me. “I hated the thought of eating because I knew that indigestion spells and gas bloating were sure to follow. Asa reaction of these symptoms I was attacked by smothering sensation that caused no end of worry. Each one left me with the feeling that it was my last day on earth. That dreadful feeling was aggravated by wild heart palpitation and fluttering. Os course, it was only natural that I become extremely nervous—with the least noise or excitement upsetting me I Steadily I lost weight and strength, ! becoming weaker each day until 1 ! was but a shell of my former healthy self. Then, and how I hate to talk of it, neuritis set in. My shoulders and afms were under the influence of this ailment. No one knows how I suffered, the pain is indescribable. I tried everything that was recommended to me but I guess my case was too far advanced because nothing helped me. “I started on the treatment of Konjola after having this medicine recommended to me by a very reliable person who was sincere in her praise. I thought that if it had helped her it might do the same for me and it did. In a surprising 3hort time I Began to feel better The various aches and pains became less: severe. The different stomach symptoms eased up until I stopped worrying about them. I wouldn’t think of missing a dose of Konjola and at the time of this writing 1 have completed the treatment What It has done for me is nothing short of miraculous. The smothering sensations, gas bloating, heart palpitation and indigestion pains are ended and ended for all time to come. With my stomach in a normal condition my nerves became quiet and cqlm. The neuritis is a torture of the miserable past Only a dim memory remains to tell me of the suffering it formerly caused I know that words are useless when it comes to describing a medicine that restores glorious health, but I wish to try to convey to all sufferers that Konjola is a medicine of real merit and value.” The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where he is meeting the public daily, explain-; ing the merits of this medicine.— 1 Advertisement.

attempt to be honest o i the stage and that is certainly something these days. Ellen is a sad, weak, miserable little mistake of life and the ending justifies the general ruin that she has created in the play. And so that is “Gypsy,” the gasending play which is attracting large audiences in New "York. Fritz Leiber opens his three-day engagement at English’s tonight in “Hamlet.” Other theaters here today offer: “Gang War,” at the Lyric; “Wild Orchids,” at the Palace; Charlie Davis, at the Indiana; “The Wolf of Wall Street,” at the Circle; “The Barker,” at the Ohio; “Cheating Papas,” at the Colonial; “Step Along,” at the Mutual; “The Lion and the Mouse,” at the Ritz, and “Some One to Love,” at the Granada. Robbed of Purse in Crowd Threading her way through the crowded terminal station Wednesday night, Miss Inez Perkins, Whiteland, Ind., was robbed of her pocketbook by a purse snatcher whom she did not see. The pocketbook contained $25.

HARD WORK IS HAPPINESS KEY, FORD JISSERTS Disagrees With Edison; Says Middle Age Is Time Enough to Save. (Copyright, 1929, by United Press) FT. MY“ERS, Fla., Feb, 21. Henry Ford believes ambition and hard work form the basis for a happy life. In an exclusive interview with the United Press, at his winter home here, Ford disagreed with the birthday statement of Thomas A. Edison, who said he was not acquainted with anyone who was happy. Ford went further and cited the inventor as an example of a truly happy man. “My formula for happy life,” said

the automobile manufacturer, “is ambition and hard work. “Show me a man who is deeply interested in his work, one who is not working for pay day, and I will show you a happy man. “We are put on this earth to work, and in work rests our happiness.” Ford and Edison are winter neighbors and friends of long standing. Edison’s comments on happiness were a portion ‘of his Feb. 11 interview, on the occasion of his 82nd birthday. “Mr. Edison does not think anyone is happy,” said Ford. “I have a little different idea about it. I ECZEMA VANISHES WHEN SAFE ZEMO IS USED Such torturing skin troubles as Eczema, blemishes and .itching rash vanish when Zemo is applied.

will put him up as an example of happiness. “I think that work and a person’s interest in work brings about more true happiness than any other one thing. Ford repeated his assertions that a young man should invest all the money he can earn in “education and the things that go to make him a better man.” Middle age is the time to give thought to saving for declining years, he said.
