MOTOR WORLD , JOINS UP WITH CONSERVATIVES Subdued Lines and Colors Startle Visitors to Auto Show. Fhe jazz age Is buried. Conservatism reigns, not only in life, but in automobiles, If one has visited the annual auto show at the state fairground. Today's visitors and those over the v.eek-end commented frequently on the subdued lines and colors of the cars on display. Rainbow tonneaus are a rarity. Mauve grays, a Nile green or two, a lew ys-llows, and some maroons, are shown, but otherwise the blacks and blue predominate. Open Car Day Gone And the day of the open car is long gone if one is searching for the old style family touring car. The few open models shown are roadsters with chummy rear seats. Supplanting the family ‘'carryall" are the broughams, limousines, town cars, with the fanciest of upholstery enriching the interiors. Joseph B. Graham, president of the Graham-Paige Motor Corporation, was one of the visitors at the show Sunday. Closing of the Kansas City <Mo.) show brought several exhibits to the local exhibition today. Open Until Thursday The “yoo-hoo” horns of the last lew years have given way to terrier barking blasts. And one would hardly know whether a Spitz was biting at his tires as he drove down the street or another car approaches. The show is open daily through Thursday from 10 a. m. to 10:30 p. m. Street cars on the Illinois, College and Central lines bearing “fairground" signs will take visitors to the show. Ample parking space for motor cars has been arranged in the building opposite the auto show t-tructure. LEGION. OPENS DRIVE FOR MEMBERS TODAY County Posts Join in Drive for Goal of Two Thousand.

JUNE COLLYER ENDS COLD QUICK WAY DOCTORS URGE

Find Method Used In Homes of Many Here Instantly Relieves Coughs and Hoarseness By taking the advice of doctors, Hollywood stars have learned to end colds at once. To accomplish this, they use Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, approved by a group of hospital physicians as the best of different methods tested for head colds, coughs and chest colds. Typical of the quick relief is the experience of June Collyer, noted star. ‘‘l found that a miserable cold was lowering my vitality,” says Miss Collyer. ‘‘l simply had no energy. I dreaded to stand before the microphone with the full knowledge that the slightest hoarseness, cough or sneeze would spoil the dialogue. “Acting on the advice of doctors, I ordered a bottle of Ayer’s Pectoral from my druggist. The taste was really tempting and next day my hoarseness was gone! I was surprised to see for myself how quickly my cold disappeared.” In Indianapolis homes, as in Hollywood, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the first thought for colds. Ayer’s Pectoral Is safer than remedies which cause one to perspire freely. They are dangerous to use unless one stays In

BROWN DEFENDS LOCAL POSTAL GARAGE LEASE Postmaster-General Says People Are Being Deceived by Investigators. Charges that Senator J. J. Blaine fßep., WLs.), head of the senate committee investigating postoffice leases, “is using his senatorial immunity to deceive the American public into believing there has been widespread fraud and corruption in regards to these leases," were made '.oday in a statement by PostmasterGeneral Walter F. Brown. The postmaster-general points to Blaine’s statements regarding the ’easing of the postoffice garage in Indianapolis as an example “misstatement.” Returns of 60 Per Cent Blaine, according to Brown, declared on the floor of the senate: “So far as the postmasters general have been concerned, the treasury of the United States has been an open bag into which they have permitted the favored individual to put his hands and extract these unconscionable, extortionate rentals, ranging all of the way from 12 per cent to 60 per cent as a return on the actual true Investment.” Blaine went on to say, declared Brown: “That a former postmastergeneral, undoubtedly meaning Harry S. New, who was in office when the contract was executed, had made a garage lease of $20,100 per annum upon property in Indianapolis, which had an actual value of but $37,000, making an annual return of 60 per cent on the lessor’s investment.” Local Tax Valuation “Asa mater of fact,” says Brown, “the actual value of this property has been variously appraised at from $150,000 to $200,000.” Total valuation of the postoffice garage here for taxation purposes is $38,200, a check of the Marion country treasurer’s office reveals. This discrepancy between Brown’s statement and the figures on file is not explained by the postmastergeneral’s statement.
