SALES TAX IS OPPOSED Jewelers’ Association Votes Against Levies on Retailers.

Kelly, president of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, died Tuesday. She was 25 and had become i mother two weeks ago.

Tom Devine, manager of the Roof, says that Hall’s introduction to his dance patrons will be made quite informal and that he will spend part of the evening directing Gary Gross' Brunswick Recording orchestra, a musical organization featured by the roof management for the past four weeks. He also said that Hall will sing several request numbers and will direct a few' stums for the entertainment of the dancers. Hall’s appearance in the Roof ballroom will not interfere with the Roof’s Wednesday night policy which dictates that every other dance be a waltz. Devine calls attention to the number of new waltz arrangements offered by the Gross organization since its appearance on the roof. These arrangements offer a number of the old favorite waltz melodies as well as the later tunes. tt St SS Indianapolis theaters today offer: James Hall at the Indiana, “Rope’s End’ at the Civic, Ben Bard and Broadus Erie at the Lyric, “Inspiration” at the Palace, “Don't Bet on Women” at the Apollo, “Little Caesar” at the Ohio, “Father’s Son” at the Circle, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual.

The corrective Is an elkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. The best alkali known to medical science is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard anti-acid with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali will neutralize instantly many times as much acid, and the symptoms disappear at

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOPE TO BLOCK NAVAL RACE IN ITALY’S HANDS British Leaders Carry Unsigned Accord With France to Rome. i By United Pretc ROME, Feb. 25.—The immediate | hope for avoiding a European naval i building race rested today with 1 Premier Benito Mussolini, who has proclaimed his desire for strengthening international peace as often as he was warned that Fascism would be 'a hard foe.” The British foreign secretary. Arthur Henderson, and Britain’s first lord of the admiralty, A. V. Alexander, coming here by night express from Paris, carried with ! them the unsigned accord by which France and Britain Tuesday agreed : to French naval limitation dependent upon Italy’s acceptance of restrictions, on her naval program. It was believed almost assured that Italy will join the accord. With the naval forces of Britain, Japan and the United States already limited under the London naval treaty of 1930, acceptance of the proposals by Mussolini would be of great significance in world disarmament efforts. Failure of the negotiations which have advanced with whirlwind

The beamy of the near Chrysler Straight Eights speaks for itself—and what cats to drivel What getaway and fleetness and smoothness—what silence of operation! One big reason for it all is the Chrysler Multi-Range 4-speed transmission providing Dual High gears and a quiet, quick gear shift. One "high” ts for sprinting in traffic and for fast, easy hill-climbing—the other for die open road.

The New Chrysler Straight Eights have an extremely low center of gravity, which, besides being an attribute of unusual smartness, is a great factor of increased safety. With car weight swung closer to the ground, better balance; is achieved—and better balance contributes to outstanding performance as well as to road-chnging steadiness, greater riding comfort and security at all speeds.

The Chrysler Straight Eight bodies are noted for their strong steel body construction—steel all around, welded into solid walls of one-piece strength; completely insulated for silence; no joints to cause rattles or squeaks—luxurious, modem bodies that proride the maximum of safety as well as of comfort. # • 9 6 3
