LEGAL WARRING MAY MAKE CITY DROP WIDENING Sixteenth Street Project - Opposed Bitterly by Taxpayers. All action on the proposed widen-j lng of Sixteenth street, from Delaware street to Northwestern avenue, may be rescinded by the board of public works in view of pending litigation attacking validity of the entire proceeding. During th** last eight years the Sixteenth street project has been before several works boards, there being a constant warfare between attorneys for property owners and city officials who desired to create a crosstown thoroughfare for the city. Adopted Twice Twice, assessment rolls of benefits and damages have been adopted by the board, the last roil now being j under /tack because the city plan commission divided the benefited area into zones and required each zone to pay for property to be acquired within its boundaries. Some attorneys contend that the zoning of the entire district in this manner is Illegal, it being necessary to assess each zone for a part of the entire costs and not for property in that division. Owners Inconvenienced It was proposed to widen Sixteenth to eighty-four feet right-of-way and provide an adequate crosstown thoroughfare. Property owners have been inconvenienced seriously by the numerous delays, and the various tangles have cost the city thousand of dollars. “We'd better start over again," declared Charles O. Britton, works board member, when Merle N. A. Walker, attorney for the Encaustic Tile Company, on West Sixteenth street, raised objections to the project and threatened another suit. Eight appeals on benefits and assessments have been filed. Walker, who already has filed one suit attacking the entire proceedings, told the board the tile company objects to the city taking its switch along the Big Four railroad. E. Kirk McKinney, board president, announced the legal department's advice will be followed.

I am naturally a very active woman, and I did not feel like I wanted to give two or three days at a time to aches and pains. So I looked around for a remedy. “I had heard a great deal about Carudi. and seeing it advertised I decided to take it. I took four bottles and it did me a world of good. It seemed to regulate and strengthen me. I quit having headaches and felt fine. "I have never ceased praising j Cardut to my friends and neighbors for what it did for me.” For more than fifty years women who had suffered, or who had gotten into a run-down, weak condition i have been enthusiastic in praising Cardui for the benefits obtained from its use.

CREDIT 25,000 LIVES TO RDM LAW PASSAGE W. C. T. U. Bases Claim on Alcoholism Mortality in 45 States. Bu l nitf'l Pr'S* EVANSTON, HI., Feb. 6.—Prohibition has saved at least 25,000 lives that would have been lost had preprohibition alcoholism death rates continued, according to data at the national headquarters of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, made public today. The data, covering alcoholism mortality in forty-five states from 1910 to 1928. inclusive, came from the United States bureau of census. Alcoholism killed 4,627 persons in the United States last year, the figures' show. This Is a death rate of 4 per 100.000 as compared with a death rate of 6.6 per 100.000 in 1916, the year the W. C. T. U. calls "the height of the saloon era.” Had this 1916 death rate continued, the organization commented, there would have been 7,986 deaths. Maryland is the only state where alcoholism has mounted higher under prohibition than in the saloon era. while New York furnishes a fifth of all the alcoholism in the country, the data revealed. The figures bring otu that thirtyone states and the District of Columbia were below the national average death rate for 1929, while thirteen state were above the average. These were Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida. Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wyoming.

STEP TAKEN TO CLEAR STREETS OF 'GAS HAWKS' Young Man Is Sentenced on Charge of Annoying School Girl. Declaring the streets of Indianapolis must be made safe for girls and women, Municipal Judge Thomas E. Garvin today fined William C. Shipp, 26, Bridgeport. SIOO and costs and sentenced him to thirty days at the penal farm on disorderly conduct charges. Annoyance of a 15-year-old Washington high school girl was the basis of charges against Shipp. Judge Garvin's action followed a series of attacks on women and girls and annoyance of others during the last few weeks. Shipp was arrested as result of prompt action by Roscoe McLain. 449 Burwick avenue, postal employe. McLain saw Shipp, driving on West Washington street, accost the girl as she left the school. "Come on, get in,” Shipp repeatedly said to the girl, McLain and the girl testified. McLain blocked Shipp’s car with the mail truck he was driving and the girl telephoned to police headquarters. Shipp in court today denied making any remarks to the girl, but his attorney said the verdict would not be appealed. "This kind of case, in my judgment, is the most serious that comes into this court,” Judge Garvin commented. "It is a serious matter when a young girl or a woman can not walk dow T n the streets of our city without attempts to entice or drag her into automobiles.” Hiding in the rear seat of an automobile parked by Mrs. Eva Jones, 1102 North Capitol avenue, at Alabama and South streets Wednesday night, a Negro grabbed Mrs. Jones when she returned to the car, she told police. Screaming, she broke his hold and Jumped from the machine. The
