THE REDS HAVE IT!

Watermelon Fans Rally to Cause

By&aB B J f

Scientific theories averring that watermelons are r.ot red inside are about to be exploded in the above photo as Leonard Phillips, 14. of Anderson, Ind., inspects a plugged melon sold by Tony, city market huckster.

BY ARCH STEINEL ADJUST melon monocles! . Tenshun! For Indianapolis is seething in controversy over the most popular member of the gourd family, the watermelon, and all because a professor in the University of Tennessee said that uncut watermelons haven’t red “innards.” Those of you who never have “ritzed” a rind, who can catapult seeds at wallpaper figures and always hit the bullseye. must rally to the cause or all will be lost before the avalanche of scientific theories that say an uncut watermelon has no color until it sees the light of day, “It's a quibble, perhaps, but true, that where there is no light there is no color,” asserted Frank B. Wade, head of the Shortridge high school chemistry department, “So,” he added, “in an uncut watermelon it is black as night. When the watermelon is cut light enters and the eye sees red, fruity meat. We can’t say the meat of the melon is red, but we can say that the condition inside ripe melons are such that when exposed to light permit the eye to see varied shades of reds.” a a a KARL C. MEANS, associate professor of chemistry at Butler university, piles up the “debunking” of the watermelon by admitting that the theory of “no light, no red melon,” is considered true. “Well, if that’s true,” reports Frank M. Wallace, state entomologist of Indiana, “if the interior isn’t, red then it's green and I won't eat green melons. “But I'll bet you I can prove a watermelon is red just as I can prove an explosion in the desert one hundred miles from any one can be heard. I’ll prove the explosion by taking someone out there and let them hear it—as for the watermelon, why I’ll cut it, of course,” averred Wallace. He maintains that if watermelons aren’t red inside before cutting then he wants some of the so-called “black” ones for seeding watermelon farms in Jackson county. “Why the farmers in Jackson wouldn't have to patrol their patches to keep the kids out of them if the melons were black inside. There’s nothing like taking a melon that’s been hooked from some farmer’s patch and cracking it across your knee to find out what it's real color is,” he declared. ana BUT Tony, the city market’s melon merchant; well, you can’t fool Tony. “Red-da water-ma-loan T got. Who said I gotta black ones? Who tella you dat?” and with deft knife strokes as he made his queries he sliced a triangle sample plug in a melon. “You-a peek. I pull out,” he commanded. Slowly the melon's plug came out.* We sneaked up on it, Tony smiled, chortled at us. His watchers were chagrined. “You see-a red—. I tella you right. Come back again some day v hen not so busy. Water-ma-loan. r.ize red, ripe water-ma-loans. Red vater-ma-loans," he razzed.

TORSO SLAYING TRIAL DELAYED Dr. Westlake’s Hearing tn Be Resumed Tuesday. By United, Preee LOS ANGELES. Aug. 31.—J. Clark Sellers, handwriting expert, probably will be the last witness called by the prosecution when court resumes Tuesday in the trial of Dr. Frank P. Westlake for the “torso” murder of Mrs. Laura B. Sutton, it was indicated today. The defense scored important points Friday when it called to the stand Mrs. Bertha Hibbs, proprietor of a wholesale dress concern. Mrs. Hibbs testified dresses which Benjamin King, taxicab driver and former sweetheart of Mrs. Sutton, had identified as the property of the woman were not Mrs. Sutton's. The clothes, which were found in Dr. Westlake’s possession were purchased by him for his daughter-in-law and her mother about a year ago, Mrs. Hibbs said. The state, too, scored decisively when it called Deputy Sheriff Allen. He testified human blood had been found in drain pipes at the retired doctor’s home and that there were blood stains on the bathroom wall. 4 HURT IN ACCIDENT Indianapolis Residents in Crawfordsville Hospital, Pj/ Tim?* PvreinJ CRAWFORDSVILLE.

SECULAR SCHOOL USE BANNED BY CATHOLICS Mothers of Children Will Be Denied Absolution. Bu United Fress BOSTON, Aug. 31.—Roman Catholic priests of the Boston archdiocese have been warned to deny absolution to Catholic mothers who. for mere social reasons, educate their children in secular schools. The edict was issued Friday by William Cardinal O'Connell, archbishop of Boston and dean of the American Catholic heirarchy, addressing 1,500 teachers at. the twentieth annual teachers’ institute here. “No matter how talented a child may be.” he added, “we have schools which can give him the finest possible training.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TOTES

SEVENTH JUROR IS CHOSEN FOR Veniremen Quizzed Closely by Attorneys in Strike’ Death Case. BY ARTHUR F. DE GREVE United Press Staff Correspondent CHARLOTTE. *L C.. Aug. 31.—A youthful grocer. A. F. Parker, who believes the world will end in 1933. enlivened interest today in the textile strikers’ murder trial, after he had been selected late Friday as the seventh juror. Parker is a member of the “True Light" religious cult, whose limited membership is confined to North and South Carolina. These people believe the world is only 3.000 years old and that, interpretations of the Bible by established faiths are incorect. Quiet, dignified folk, they include in their number small merchants, professional men. laborers and farmers. Mass meetings are called at intervals during the year when worshippers leave their places of business and their crops to perish in the fields, to pray for those who do not believe as they do. Pleases Both Sid Attorneys for the state maintained Parker had an open mind, was not, opposed to either circumstantial evidence or capital punishment. Defense counsel pointed out his religious affiliations would make him more liberal toward the radical organizations that are being given responsibility for the Loray mills strike and the subsequent death of Police Chief Aderholt, for which crime the defendants are being tried. Defense attorneys are questioning each talesman closely on whether the fact some of the defendants were from northern states would prejudice his verdict. More than a score questioned Friday were emphatically opposed to capital punishment and to sending a man to the electric chair on circumstantial evidence. Farmers are Nervous Most of them are farmers and are nervous before the battery of attorneys and spectators, and apoear relieved when excused from jury service. After court adjourned Friday, Judge Barnhill called before him two men he had caught smoking in the courtroom. “I just want to know if you were not civilized enough to know you can’t smoke in the courtroom," he said, warning the pair not to repeat the act.

SUSPECT IDENTIFIED Net Closes Tighter Around Kirby Davis. Pictures and fingerprints received from Dallas, Tex., were identified positively today as those of Kirby Davis, according to Forrest Huntington of the Indiana bureau of criminal investigation and identification. The data was received by the bureau Friday. Arrested in Dallas, Davis gave the name of Jack Harry Harris, Huntington said. He is wanted in Indiana on chai'ges of murder and bank robbery at Angola, but the state will permit the federal authorities to return him here for trial. He will be brought into federal court for violation of the United States statute covering interstate transportation of stolen automobiles, it has been agreed. PLAN SAFETY RALLY Southsiders to Celebrate Sept. 7 and 8.

JURY TO DECIDE MOTHER’S FATE Charge of Burning Child to Death Is Denied. Bv United Prep* LOS ANGELES. Aug. 31.—The fate of Mrs. Josephine Valenti, accused of first-degree murder of her 8-months-old infant son, who was burned to death in his carriage, will be given to a jury in superior court today. The defense took only two hours to present the If-year-old mother's case Friday, calling only two witnesses, Mrs. Valenti and her husband. The young mother denied she set fire to tlie baby’s carriage, or had anything to do with the tragedy. Her husband, who was accused in the woman’s written confession, of refusing to pay milk bills, testified he always had paid his bills and that there were no serious family quarrels. In his plea to the jury Defense Attorney William Christenson declared the state had established no corpus delecti and had failed to prove the baby died from actions of murderous intent. State’s witnesses had testified to seeing the mother drop a lighted match in the carriage and police officers introduced a confession. The state asked the death penalty.

AVIATION HONOR PAID TO EDISON AT CLEVELAND Day Set Aside for Wizard at Air Races; Stunts Amaze Crowd. BY MERTON T. AKERS I'nitrd Prrss Staff Correspondrnt Bv United Press MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, CLEVELAND, Aug. 31.—The man who put electricity to work and made the lighted air roads of the nation possible was honored today at the national air races. It was Edison day. but the wizard of Menlo park was unable to be present to receive the honor conferred on him by the infant industry for the research that contributed a part in man's effort to conquer the air. Two of Faison's cronies, however, came to take his place. They were Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, two of the trio which have become famous in press and picture. With Ford and Firestone added to the already long list of celebrities here, the air races continued to be the focusing point of the nation's air interest. Many Celebrities There Every other person at this milesquare airport twelve miles southwest of the city is a. celebrity. Trans-Atlantic fliers rub elbows with pilots fresh from flying schools. Veterans who risked their neck in flimsy “crates" of baling wire and bambo in the “pusher" type days lend a, sympathetic ear to the troubles of youngsters who are having trouble with the 1929 sleek sport model plane?;. Aviation —past, present and future—is the sole topic. And the discussions, sometimes going into technicalities, are not confined to pilots and aviation company officials. John Public and his wife, fortified with knowledge gleaned from original research at the exposition and at the field, speak fluently of rudders, propellers, slotted wings, types of motors and ability of various pilots as they land their ships. Machine age youngsters recognize the make and type of an airplane just as those of another age could spot their favorite brand of automobile a block away. Stunts Are Amazing Before such a crowd the racers, gliders and stunters daily demonstrate their prowess The air-minded spectators, their nerves still a bit on edge from reading of Lady Mary Heath’s accident, became even more jumpy when new acrobatic thrills were dished out in liberal measure and a near accident, in which Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh figured, occurred in the center of the field. Mrs. Lindbergh was coming from Detroit to visit her famous son and his new wife when a plane almost collided with the tri-motored ship in which Mrs. Lindbergh was riding. Recklessly, Howard Mays, the pilot, swung his light ship over and averted a crash. Just a few minutes before it had been announced over the radio that additional precautions would be taken to guard against accidents. Shortly afterward, Charles (Speed) Holman took another tri-motored plane into the air and stunted with it as if it were a pursuit ship. Below, W. B. Stout, owner and designer of the three-ton metal ship, looked on amazed at the flexibility of his passenger carrier. Owner Is Astounded “That boy is making a pursuit plane out. of it,” he remarked when he was able to speak. Three races concluded the program for the day, one by army pilots, another by the navy and a third by commercial aviators. Results of the 100-mile race between fifteen navy pursuit planes follow: Lieutenant M. E. Arnolds won first place with an average speed of 127.58: Ensign C. C. Ironmonger, second. 126.58: Lieutenant F. C. Sutton. third, 126.5; C. K. Lankford, 126.08, fourth. Lankford is the navy flier who crashed at Lorain and broke his jaw and two ribs. He sat at the controls of his ship tightly bandaged as he raced over the 100-mile course to fourth place. Clarence Chamberlin, flying a monoplane of his own design, won i first place today in the semi-finals of the race for ships 275-510 cubic inches of piston displacement with a naverage speed of 114.8 miles na, hour. R. W. Brown of New York City, flying a Curtiss OX-5, won second place with 112 average. Chamberlin will race Verne Roberts. Moline, 111., today in the finals. Official winners of the army eighty-mile race for the Mason M. Patrick trophy: First. Lieutenant Tvan M. Palmer. : average speed 140.20. Second. Lieutenant George F. Kinzie, average speed 138.44.

Letter Heroes ‘Boy Veteran’ Says Mailmen Are Doctors, Handy Men and Advisers.

Minneapolis, Aug. 31.— one of America’s oldest mailmen in years of service, Edward Zinsmeister of Zanesville, 0., explained today why the average mail carrier still is the hero of his neighborhood in this materialistic age. Zinsmeister, one of the 8,000 delegates to the National Letter Carrier Association’s twenty--seventh annual convention, is known to postmen the nation over as the “boy veteran.” He is 58 years old and has been in the government service forty years. “I suppose we do get to be sort of heroes to the folks on our routes,” Zinsmeister said, “‘because we do a thousand little things for them. “We know most of them almost as well as their families do. perhaps carried them their first rattles and sometimes tell their young mothers how to cure them of baby ailments. “Often when a person on our route is out of work we know where he can find a job. “Now and then we can give a fellow a tip on how to run a successful business when he starts up in a neighborhood strange to him. We know what the people there want. “The mail carrier is something of a fortune teller, doctor, paternal adviser, handv man. information bureau and everybody's friend."

Leslie's attack on the Indiana State Bankers' Association and its president, A. G. Brown, Greencastle. at a meeting of parole trustees of the Indiana state prison here was a subject of conversation today by politicians, Leslie's attack came when the parole board was considering release of Lee Spiers, a member of a band who in 1919 attempted to rob a Gary bank, in which a cashier was killed. Spiers turned state's evidence, which resulted in conviction of five accomplices. Leslie, in his talk before ths board, reviewed rerent charges by Brown lie was "opening prion gates to bank bandits." Bankers Must Approve “We are not going to let. Spiers out until his parole is approved by the State Bankers Association,” the Governor said. Leslie, during the course of his talk, classed Brown as a• “wisecracker" and “who did not know what he was talking about.” “No political influence can reach this board. My motive Is to find good in these unfortunates and send them back to society. The bankers association is too critical and not helpful in improving conditions. “Lake county bankers can not expert us to hear their pleas for Spier* when the president of the state association takes us to task for paroling bank bandits, even though they have learned their lesson, and we are willing to take responsibility for releasing them,” Leslie said. Case Is Continued The Spiers case later was continued sixty days to await bankers' association action. Paroles granted by the board included: James Hudson.
