HOAX STARTLES! HOUSE, KENNEY WANTED PROBE Many Thought He to Small Loan Bill Hearings. Representative Herbert J. Kenney | Dem., Floyd), furnished the house' rt representatives with a short*lived sensation today when, in what eventually proved a hoax, he niado an indirect reference to freely circulated rumors that peculiar circumstances silrround inaction on three pending small loan bills. Kenney's hints that “something j is going on the people ought to know about and there should be an investigation,” had house members breathless with suspense for a few minutes. Close observers professed to see cveral relieved faces when nis amusement bested him and he sat down shaking with laughter. Personal Privilege Immediately after roll call Kenney rose in an ominous manner and striding from behind his seat, demanded and received a “point of personal privilege.” “Mr. Speaker, members of the house, ’ he said, maintaining his ominous manner. “There’s somechinks there ought to be an investilature and I think the people of Indiana are entitled to know about It.” Several members hitched forward : m their scats. “Why, things have gotten to the j point of suspicion,” continued Ken- ! ney, “that even such an old stager as the genial minority caucus chair-! man (Representative Miles J. Furnas) ‘can’t understand it,’ and things there ought to be an investl- 1 gatlon. It’s Friday the 13th and I think we ought to do something about It.” Bills Transferred Here Kenney gave the joke away i and sat down. He had been refer- 1 ring to a motion by Representative ! Oerrilt M Bates .(Dem., Marion) j that the reading of the house jour- j nal be, dispensed with, a routine j procedure observed daily to save j time. Public hearings on the three small j loan bills will be held next Wednes- ! day night before house judiciary B ' committee. Speculation over committee inac- i tion on the bills reached a climax in the house Wednesday when their ! authors, Representatives Clyde Karrer (Dem., Marion) and William E. ; Wilson (Dem., Hancock and Madi- j son) demanded their transfer from judiciary A to judiciary B.

From “Adams' Ale! —” through the names of 100 state representatives to “White of Marion! Wilson] ” without once looking at the printed roll call draws admiration from Miss Nancy Ward Biddle, 10, daughter of Representative Ward G. Biddle (Dem., Monroe) of Bloomington. Nancy confesses she has trouble memorizing the names of the forty-eight states, so it’s no wonder she was a bit skeptical when William F. Averitt, Greenwood, roll call clerk in the house of

How to Lose Fat a Pound a Day on a Full Stomach

Do Just These Two Simple Things —Fat Melts Away Here is a quick and easy way to take off a pound a day—four to seven pounds every week!—with never a hungry moment. A way any doctor will tell you is safe and sure. This is what you do: Take a teaspoonful of ordinary Jad Salts in glass of water half hour before breakfast every morning. This reduces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses your system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat. Then do this about eating.

Averitt, a farmer, invariably calls the long house roll without reference to the roll call —a feat veteran legislators can not recollect of any one having accomplished before him.

of lean meats, vegetables like spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., and lots of salads. Eat a lot. Eat all you can hold. Don’t go hungry a minute. Cut down on butter, sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit except bananas, for dessert. That’s "all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. - Tou lose as much as a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For in this treatment you achieve two important results. The •Tad Salts clear your system of toxins. ’The diet take off fat with foods that turn to energy instead of weight. If you’re tired of being embarrassed by fat, try this way. You’ll be glad that you did. You can get Jad-Salts at any drug store. ’Note particularly—the salts are urged purely as a poison-banishing agent—not as a reducing. The change in food does the work.—Advertisement.

LABOR LEADER SAYS WAGE GUT IS THREATENED Warns Against Placing of American Workman on European Level. By Scrivve-Hovcard Vevcstaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—1n spite of President Hoover's admonition to industrial leaders to keep up wage levels, a second offensive against “high paid labor s about to begin,'’ in the opinion of Edward F. McGrady, chairman of the southern organizing campaign committee and A. F. of L. legislative representative. The first offensive was against the unorganized groups, McGrady said. These have watched their pay envelopes become thinner and thinner. “Jhe second offensive against the best paid workers in the United States is about to b?gin,” he said. “This is designed to s'ash the wages and living conditions of the organized workers who, in spite of every sort of pressure, have up to now maintained their standards. “The leaders of this second offensive wage-slashing campaign are composed of bankers and financiers.” Some of these, says McGrady, are advocating competition with European and Asiatic manufacture on equal terms, reduction of American living standards to approximate these of other countries. He says that eventually this would mean the
