DUEL IS FACED 8Y GOVERNOR Representative in Challenge to Louisiana Chief. By United Press BATON ROUGE. La.. April 23State Representative Gilbert L. Dupre's offer to “shoot it out’’ with Governor Huey P. Long gave an aura of old world romance to the pclitical warfare in Louisiana today. Thus far the challenge to a duel with guns has not been taken up by the youthful Governor, who is busy stumping the state in his own defense against impeachment proceedings in the Louisiana legislature. The challenge was a result of Governor Long’s Sunday night speech in Opelousas and was made by Representative Dupre in a speech in the hous of representatives. In his excitement, Dupre shouted: • “I do not carry dangerous weapons but I’ll fight any man at the drop of the hat: I’ll shoot it out with Long. I’ll shoot it out until he gets enough.” Dupre had been aroused by Governor Long's charge in his Opelousas speech that Dupre “traded his votes to get a committee job for his nephew and for appointment of himself as chairman of tire house judiciary committee.”

Oriental Lindy Sees Aviation as Hope of His Country. Aviation will be the salvation oi China. Tien Lai Huang. "Chinese Lindbergh,” who is visiting Indianapolis today, declared. Huang, who has traveled 50,000 miles through Europe and North and South America during the past six weeks, is in this country on a "good will tour," learning the latest developments in aviation. He is visiting a number of the larger airplane plants and conferring with aviation leaders. .“China is taking rapidly to aviation." he said. “Many schools have been opened, but there is a great lack of capable instructors. Many American fliers are being sought as instructors. “China has a country larger than the United States, with 500,000,000 population and only 2,000 miles of railroads. With rapid growth of aviation as a means of transportation, China may be able to skip the railroad building problem. Already China has started to build airplanes, and in addition, has purchased many from the United States and Germany.” Huang, a graduate of Syracuse university, came here to meet several friends attending the reserve officers’ convention. He met Col. Charles A. Lindbergh several times.

Take, for instance, the astounding experience Mrs. Ray Goodlett, 321 Lyons avenue, Indianapolis. who, grateful and happy beyond words with Konjola, mad this startling statement to the Konjola Man, just a few days ago: “Astounding, that is what I say of this new Konjola. Lord only knows what I would have done without it. For two years I suffered from a complete nervous breakdown. I have been in hospitals, taken special treatments, have had serum injected into me—and what do you think were the results? Absolutely nothing. At times I was past hearing or seeing, I had to give up my work, I often became uncon,clous suddenly and wouldn’t know a thing until I came to, in bed, where someone had put me. For days I had to remain in a chair. I was as tired in the morning as when I went to bed. My constitution was wasting away, I could not taste food and had lost all sense of feeling. So you see my health was in a very serioustate. “Finally my sister-in-law, from Cincinnati, came to visit me. Upon seeing hov/ ill I was she immediately recommended Konjola, citing the thousands of people throughout the country' that had been benefited through its use. I decided that this medicine was worth a trial and have now taken six bottles. I sincerely and truthfully say that Konjola has done more for me than everything else put together. For the first time in years I am beginning to feel my old self again and rapidly and surely I am gaining back my lost health. The remarkable benefits I have derived have convinced me that Konjola is the most remarkable medicine ever put in the reach of humanity.” This is not an unusual case— Konjola has thousands of them to its credit.
