SCHOOL GROUP HAS MEETING Milo Stuart Speaks to Parent-Teachers. “Support of public schools Is not an expense but an investment paying big dividends.” So declared Milo Stuart, the new assistant superintendent at Arsenal Technical high school, in addressing members of the Federation of Par-ent-Teachers at the annual meeting held at the high school Wednesday night. “The public schools develop the talents of the youth so that they will be capable of handling situations which we can not anticipate,” he said. 'The new program of the teachers rests on guidance. It is the privilege of the teacher to sift the experiences of life and bring into the life of the student all that is worthwhile.” The Boys Concert Club furnished the afternoon’s music. During the dinner hour tw r o orchestras from Technical entertained. Garbed in white tunics, the massed mothers choruses sang, under direction of Miss Isabelle Mossman. Mb-s.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WHEAT TRADE DEPRESSED IN EASY SESSION Deferred Deliveries Show Greatest Weakness; Corn Steady. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. March 26.—Deferred wheat deliveries were easy as the Board of Trade opened today, losing a - minor fraction in sympathy with Liverpool. The English market started higher, but fell back when demand failed to sustain the rise. Action was rather light at the start. Com was steady with a firm undertone, renewed interest in the cash market providing the strength for the futures. Oats were slow and steady, following the action in com and in the cash trade. At the opening old wheat was unchanged to 74 cent lower, corn was unchanged to 74 cent higher and oats were 74 cent up. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool Opens Up Liverpool opened much stronger than expected, but had sold back to around the previous close by midafternoon, standing unchanged to 74 cent higher. Buenos Aires showed weakness and was off % cent near mid-day. With traders informed as to what the farm board intends to do with its wheat, operators have widened with pressure being resisted. Traders believe the market has gone stale on the bear side, though there still is a large interest outstanding in spreads between wheat and com. Clearing this up is likely to give the market an irregular appearance. Weather Is Colder The American northwest is experiencing much colder weather, with blizzards reported in northern North Dakota,' Montana and Denver. A sudden revival in the demand for cash corn from the east and the better tone in wheat helped com. The east took 125,000 bushels on Wednesday with more orders said to be in the market at the close. Cash interests took considerable oats Wednesday, which closed with the market strong, although action was nto very large. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT (old 7— a ' Ch „ High. Low. 11:00 close.

YOU SEE MURDER ON THE WAYIN THIS ONE But You Do Not See Who Slowly Poisoned Ronald Craig in “The Craig Poisoning Mystery,” By Fielding. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. YOU actually see murder going on by the slow process of poison In the bedroom of Ronald Craig and you see death finally enter the room and take the master. Craig writes a letter to his best friend, Guy Houghton, telling him that he is being slowly poisoned in his own home, and that he knows w'ho is doing it. Craig’s desire was for Guy to come on the next day so he could tell him who was administering the poison. Next day, Craig was dead before Guy arrived. This happens in “The Craig Poisoning Mystery,” by A. Fielding,

and just published by Cosmopolitan Book Corporation, I am recon mending this murder mystery at this time because many requests have been coming lately to my desk asking me to recommend “a good mystery.” And the answer is “The Craig Poisoning Mystery.” All in the house easily came under suspicion of the law. Was it the doctor? Or Lady Craig or the fiancee of Ronald’s? Maybe it was the servants or the sister of the doctor? Maybe the former wife of Ronald’s. The author pays more attention to the actual working out of the mystery than the murder itself. You meet Inspector Pointer of Scotland Yard going off on a completely wrong track and then starting out all over again as the inspector recreates the murder. The character drawing has been extremely well done. All seem to be flesh and blood characters, not just mere shadows, but living personalities who seem to step out of the printed page. In the mine run murder mystery, so many of the characters are just names injected to mess up the situation. All of the characters in “The Craig Poisoning Mystery” have a definite place in story and all logically could be suspected. You will like Pointer, the Scotland Yard man, because he is a real human being and not a story book detective, Ke has a brain and he uses it as a human being. I can recommend “The Craig Poisoning Mystery” as a real story, well written and logically worked out. a a a COMMITTEES NAMED FOR CIVIC ORCHESTRA. Named general chairman for the season-closing concert of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra, April 19, G. M. Williams, president of the Marmon Motor Car Company, today announced a publicity committee headed by Sidney A. Sullivan, advertising manager of L. S. Ayres &r Cos.

Its 300 or more immense horizontal boughs, upheld by wood crutches or stone pillars, curve awkwardly, and at the top are tin and wood copins as a protection against weather. These arms, some of which are over 200 feet long, reach out like legs of a gigantic spider. This 1,000-year-old tree illustrates the Japanese love for the bizarre.

One of Konjola’s latest friends is Mr. Earl Tomlinson. 602 East Market street, Indianapolis, who in his search for relief from his ailments, turned to Konjola. And in Konjola alone he found the medicine he sought . . . the medicince he hoped for. Visit the Konjola Man at the Hook Dependable drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city; learn from him of many cases like that of Mr. Tomlinson, who says: “About ten years ago my stomach began to bother me. I had indigestion, lost my appetite, and my kidneys soon filled with poisons. Either they worked too freely or too little. Rheumatism set in and my muscles were swollen and sore. My feet hurt so I could hardly walk, and constipation added to my misery. Nothing I tried did any good. Konjola changed all that. Now my stomach is fine, I have a good appetite, and eat anything I want. My kidneys never bother me, my rheumatism is gone, and no longer do I suffer from aches and pains. I have gained in weight and strength, and Konjola is the only thing that ever helped me.” Demand Konjola and get it . . . don’t be switched to a substitute.
