HOUSE PASSES JUDGES^RAISE Votes to Increase Pay of City Courts to $6,000. Indianapolis ward-heelers who so strenuously have lobbies for an increase in pay for municipal judges, concentrated their efforts on the Indiana senate today in order to have that body approve the house action which passed the increase bill Wednesday afternoon by a vote of ■55 to 33. The bill, which was introduced by seven representatives of the Marion county delegation, increases the municipal judge pay from $5,000 to 86,000 annually. This measure came up for third reading in the house on the heels of the Perkins “salary grab” bill for St. Joseph county, which was amended during second reading to include Allen and Vanderburgh counties. Efforts of proponents of the Perkins bill to increase the salaries of St. Joseph, Allen and Vanderburgh judges from $7,000 to SIO,OOO seemed on the verge of success after several efforts to kill the bill by Representative Eli Huber oi Evansville had failed. A final amendment to which both sides acceded resulted in an increase of $2,000 instead of 83,000 and the bill was passed on to engrossment.

PRESBYTERIANS TO VOTE ON WOMEN AS PASTORS I Advisability of Admission U Pulpits Will Be Decided. Bit United Press PHILADELPHIA. March 7.—The Presbyterian church will have an opportunity to decide whether to admit women as ministers, evangelists and elders as a result of the action of the Presbyterian general council. The move is said to be the most forward step toward sex equality ever taken in a Protestant church. An overture has been adopted by the council which will be placed before the general assembly in St. Paul, Minn., in May and then will be submitted for a favorable vote by a majority of the church’s presbyteries after every congregation has decided for itself. SCHOOL JID VOTED Poor Communities to Get Increase Under Bill. The Indiana house of representatives today attempted to aid the poverty-stricken schools of the state though increasing the amount to be paid the state aid schools from the 7-cent special school levy, from 30 per cent.to 50 per cent of the levy and at the same time limiting the number of schools to receive aid by raising the tax qualifications. The Gilley bill making this change passed by a vote of 71 to 11 after Representative George W. Freeman, in debate with Representative J. Glenn Harris of Gary tried to show that the amendments made the relief process merely one of “robbing Peter to pay Paul.” At the same time the senate was considering as a special order of business the Lindley bill proposing a 34-cent state tax levy to pay all public school teachers a minimum of $5 a day, to insure pay for teachers in state aid schools.

OPEN WAY FOR WORLDjJOURT U. S. Gives Proposals for Adhesion. Bv United Prest GENEVA, March 7.—Proposals by Elihu Root for the purpose of opening the way to the United States’ adhesion to the World Court of International Justice contain suggestions for four alternatives for article IV of the 1926 protocol, it was learned today. Under the Root proposals, should the United States object to the Hague Court granting an advisory opinion and begip negotiations with the League of Nations council regarding article IV, the following alternatives would exist: 1. The United States and the league council might agree to a ! redraft of the article on advisory opinion in such a manner as to eliminate the United States objections. 2. The councif might find the United States interest so great as to bring about a possible withdrawal of request for advisory opinion. 3. The United States might find its special interest so small in comparison to the general interest that it w'ould withdraw its objection. 4. Should the United States and the council disagree, the United States would always have the right to withdraw from the court. Methodists Elect By Himes Special EATON, Ind., March 7.—Div W. T.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TDIES

Covers Parishes by Air

The island parishes of Lake Erie, comprising Catholic congregations at Put-in Bay and on the North and Middle Bass islands and Kelly’s island, have a flying priest—Father Joseph E. Maerder. Father Maerder, 'who lives in Put-in Bay, has to make many trips to the other islands, to conduct services and visit £he sick, and found the ordinary methods of travel—by boat in the summer and by ice in the winter—too slow. So now he goes about by airplane, piloted by Pilot Milton Hersherger. The picture shows Father Maerder in the plane, with Hershberger standing beside it; inset is a closeup of the priest.

CITY OFFERED AIRPORT SITE Propose Indianapolis Take Over County Infirmary. • A proposal that the city take over the Marion county infirmary for a municipal airport site and anew infirmary be built at anew location was voiced today by the county commissioners. The proposal, with the proviso the county would lease the land for $1 a year on a long-time lease, will be presented to city council in the near future, George Snider, president of the county board, said. It was regarded as extremely doubtful that the city will accept the offer. The council already has decided on the purchase of site No. 8, ai. expanse of 1,000 acres, for $692,000, and on March 18, will act on the authorization of a bond issue for the site’s purchase. The commissioners’ proposal follows the recent grand jury recommendation that anew infirmary be built or numeroiis improvements made. If the city should accept the offer the commissioners stand ready to construct anew infirmary at a cost of approximately $500,000, John

ENDED COLD BEFORE PNEUMONIA SET IN

Relief Began Instantly When Doctor Advised Home Use of Pleasant Hospital Method By taking the timely advice of his doctor, E. H. Harding, like numbers Os people here, has found that it is not necessary to go thru the needless misery of a cold. Nor is there any necessity for needless fear if the right steps are taken to end a cold quickly before danger sets in. Mr. Harding contracted a severe cold when nothing seemed to relieve. Examination showed that his nose tubes were badly congested; his throat was inflamed and the cold was rapidly spreading. Fearing pneumonia then he called a doctor who gave him double strength doses of Ayer’s Pectoral. In a few minutes this hospital certified medicine brought welcome relief. Next day he was sufficiently relieved to get up. and in another day or so congestion cleared up and he was back at work—as well aS ever.
