READINESS PLEA IS SOUNDED BY SOVIET LEADERS Nation Stirred to Patriotic Fever at Red Army Celebration. BY EUGENE I VONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW. Feb. 24.—Soviet leaders stirred the Russian nation to a fever of patriotism Sunday in celebration of the twelfth anniversary of the founding of the Red army, Driving home to the people the "imminent danger of war.” the Kremlin chiefs used the celebration as an occasion for demanding “a maximum of preparedness" to meet the anti-Soviet campaign "now being developed in all capitalistic: countries.” As the Red troops passed in review before the nation, an impressive, well-equipped and finely disciplined body of men, in contrast to the ragged red guards of earlier days, the commissars and the press united to signalize Russia’s readiness to meet assault from the outside. Score Naval Parley The London naval conference was described as a cloak for military alliances and agreements, “principally, directed against the Soviet Union,” in articles published by Soviet leaders. Pope Pius, the archbishop of Canterbury, and other notables leading the campaign against Russian “Godlessness” were set down as enemies of the union. Mass meetings took place in cities and towns throughout Russia, with the participation of soldiers and “commanders," as officers are designated. Everywhere the soldiery were extolled as the bulwark against capitalistic attack. Get War Training All communist organizations were called upon to press the military training phases of their work. Every citizen, they were told, should be capable of handling a gun. a gas mask or other paraphernalia of war. Education of the army, on the other hand, also was emphasized. The army intends to send its men back to the farm and factories, after their service, better equipped than ever to enter civil and industrial life, and to further socialization of the nation. At the present time, 100.000 soldiers whose terms expire this year are completing special courses in the organization and operation of collective farms. Scattered over every section of the country, they will become a powerful educative force when they are released from duty. CHARACTER WARNING GIVEN BY EDUCATOR Dr. Harmon Speaks at Conference of Methodist Ministers. Warning that man might forget character building in this age of modern machinery building. Dr. Cameron Harmon, president of McKendrees college of Lebanon, Ill., spoke Sunday afternoon before Methodist ministers and laymen at a conference in the Roberts Park M. E. church. “With the rapid rise of industry comes the extreme danger that the value of human character will be forgotten.” he said. He cited Rome's ruin when it forgot religion and warned against a similar trend in modern American life. COOLIDGES HONORED Los Angeles C. of C. Gives Banquet; Mishap Mars Sunday Trip.

Marion county’s century - old library, consigned for more than five years to the “attic” of the courthouse, where the 7,000 volumes have laid unused, will be given a place of honor in the Indiana War Memorial, according to a resolution recently adopted by county commissioners. Created less than 100 years ago by the legislature, the collection was in public use until space problems at the courthouse led commissioners to box the dusty volumes for storage, and later to deposit them in a vacant room at the county infirmary. There they will be salvaged, some to be given to the Indiana Historical Society, and others to the memorial, according to the resolution adopted on retommendation of James L. Kingsbury, trustee of the county library association. FOUR HELD IN SHOOTING Police Conduct Probe After Man Claims Accidental Injury.

168 PATIENTS ABE SAVED IN HOSPITAL FIRE Heroism of Nurses, Police. Firemen Prevents Big Loss of Life. Ru 1 n itffl Prrtl PROVIDENCE. R. L. Feb. 24. Heroism of nuns, nurses, firemen and policemen was lauded today by patients of the fire-wrecked St. Joseph's hospital, while the patients, in turn, were praised for exceptional coolness. A sprained ankle, sustained by a fireman, was the only casualty of a fire which virtually destroyed the hospital Sunday. The 168 patients, including a dozen babies, were removed safely. The fire was discovered by Miss Julia Harding, a nurse, as she was passing through a fifth floor corridor. She notified the switchboard operator, Miss Evelyn Welch there was a fire in the waste chute. Miss Welch turned in an alarm while Miss Harding ran down to the ground floor chapel where Father Greeley, hospital chaplain, was celebrating mass. “There’s a fire on the fifth floor,” she shouted as she broke into, the chapel. Nuns and nurses calmly filed out of the chapel while the chaplain continued the mass. Within a half hour, four alarms had been sounded; eighteen fire companies were on the scene and 125 policemen arrived to aid in removing the patients. First rescuers removed twelve babies from the fifth floor maternity ward to the floor below while internes rushed to a room on the fourth floor directly beneath children’s wards and removed thirty tanks of nitrous oxide, which according to physicians, contained enough explosive to blow up the city of Providence. As the fire got out of control, the patients were transferred from the fourth floor to the third, then to the second and finally to the first. When It became evident that not even the first floor could escape the flames, all available ambulances were marshalled and the patients transferred to other hospitals. Throughout this ordeal, none of the patients, not even the seriously ill, became panicky. Among the rescued jatients was a woman who had given birth to a baby only twenty minutes before the fire was discovered. MARTINELII IN PROGRAM Metropolitan Opera Tenor Sings Tonight at Shortridge.

"Bronchitis—I thought— it must be bronchitis . . . and the next morning I was well again." "I caught cold while riding in an open car. By the time I got home my cough sounded so bad. I was convinced that I was in for a serious sickness. My whole body felt grippy. I went to bed and took some Smith Brothers' Cough Syrup. When I got up the next morning I thought I must have dreamed the cough the night before— I was completely well.” MISS M.

“My little daughter is just about the healthiest girl I know,” says Mrs. Ivan Spencer, 832 Bradshaw St., Indianapolis. “And I want to give credit where it is due. “Emma was constipated several years ago and I gave her California Fig Syrup. It helped her so wonderfully that I have used it ever since for all her upsets or colds. It has kept her strong, energetic, rugged.” Children suffer when bowels aren’t regular. Breath becomes fetid; tongue coated; eyes dull. When these symptoms are neglected, biliousness, feverishness, lack of appetite invariably follow'. The first dose of California Fig Syrup relieves these .symptoms and activates sluggish bowels. Successive doses help tone and strengthen weak bowels; improve appetite; encourage digestion and assimilation. Try it with a bilious, headachy, constipated child and see how it helps! The pure vegetable product, endorsed by doctors for 50 years, always bears the name California., So look for it when buying.—Advertisement.

POISON SLAYER TO FACE TRIAL IN NEW YORK Knife and Gun Found on Young Killer by Detectives. Bn United Peer * NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—District Attorney Crain was expected today to cliarge James Baker, 25, who has confessed to the murdering of ten men, specifically with the murder of Henry S. Gaw, night watchman of the Guggenheim laboratory on Dec. 8, 1928. •George Fitzpatrick and Arthur M. Horey, detectives who brought Baker from Detroit, probably were the mast relieved of the trio when they arrived Sunday. Shortly after leaving Detroit they found a knife and gun concealed on Baker after he had been given into their custody. He laughed at their questioning and assured them he had mean to kill them because he knew he was going to “burn” and that two more crimes probably would not add much to his sentence. If Baker is a “braggart, an egotist and a liar,” as he has been charged by his relatives and given some credence by Detroit officials, he certainly did not show it when he arrived here. To reporters who boarded the train at Newark, N. J., Baker seemed stoical. He seemed willing to answer all questions and repeated a confession made in Detroit. Alienists were expected to examine him in regard to his sanity, following some belief advance by Detroit officials that he is insane. Sunday he laughed at this belief, saying that those who questioned him probably were more crazy than he.

LAZY APPETITE

"Dear, are you not glad you followed my suggestion when I urged you to try S.S.S. for your lost appetite?”

HAVE you an indifference or loathing for food, or do you really enjoy mealtime? Fads and fancies come and go. We must be reasonable. You can’t afford to wreck your body by “killing” an appetite given you by Nature to nourish your body. You must really enjoy your meals and assimilate them to restore the waste of the body. Don’t expect a strong, sturdy body and a keen mind to carry on if you do not enjoy your food. It just can’t be done. Friends, happiness and business success may depend on a keen appetite. Many thousands have turned to S. S. S. when the appetite signaled danger. It is a time-tested remedy . . . purely vegetable. Easy to assimilate. Pleasant to take. It

Although advocating relief for disabled World war veterans, in an address here over the week-end, Brigadier-General Frank* T.

Addressing 500 veterans at a Washington's birthday banquet Saturday night in the Spink-Arms, General Hines said a. single, government agency should be established to supervise relief for disabled veterans, without too much concentration on tracing disability directly to army service.

Feb. 24.—Premier Camille Chautemps expects to find a majority of about thirty votes with him when he presents his government's platform to the chamber of deputies Tuesday. With the Indication that the Socialists may throw their strength to them, the chance of the new leader's suriving the first ordeal appeared brighter. Chautemps worked almost all night on his ministerial declaration, in order to have it ready for his cabinet today. One of the important features, he indicated, would be a drive for lower taxes. This intimation came after Chautemps conferences with Aristide Briand, foreign minister, and Maurice Palmade, minister' of finance and budget. Indications that the Socialists, for the present at least, would not attempt to smash the Chautemps cabinet, were received joyfully by the new premier’s followers, although it was felt they were certain to de-
