DARROWBARES TRUE NATURE AS OPTIMISTIC Preaches Pessimism, but His Actions Reveal the Opposite. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Clarence Darrow, who for many years has gone up and down the land preaching the philosophy of pessimism, really is an optimist, his conduct here Tuesday disclosed. For he left town without arguing his views before the supreme court and confirmed in the belief that the court soon may decide the D. C. StephenSbn murder appeal. As pointed out by Chief Justice Clarence R. Martin, thlSUnurder appeal has been pending fully briefed and ready for decision since January, 1928. But Darrow believes the court may act. “Os course there is no way to make a supreme court render a decision,” Darrow admitted. “But when a man is serving time in prison it is the manifest duty of a court to act with as much speed as possible.” Proves Self Optimist Darrow was here to represent Stephenson and he backed away from arguing before the court “because it might only cause antoganlsm to my client’s cause,” he explained. So once more the Darrow conduct proved different from his preachments. He has long been noted as an agnostic, but practices “Christian charity” and though he has lectured much on “meaningless mankind” he travels far to lend a hand to those he believes are the underdogs. A fine point of law was involved in the argument to have been held here Tuesday. It was whether or not the high court can halt habeas corpus procedings by a writ of prohibition, unless to thwart rebellion or repell invasion, as the United States Constitution provides. Pushes Point Aside But Darrow pushed this point aside to try and save a man he believes is wrongfully imprisoned and deserted by his friends. Although more than 74, and retired from practice of law, he made the trip to Indianapolis and spent the day in Stephenson’s behalf without even a fee. Yet this curiously unselish conduct does somehow fit in with what Darrow has said in his talk on “Facing Life Fearlessly.” There he points out the pessimistic poet Housman “condemned nobody.” “No pessimist does,” Darrow continues, "only good optimists.” Darrow is stooped and his face seamed, but he doesn't go about giving advice to the young on how to behave and live to be 100. ‘Ever Forget It’ “You can't get wisdom by simply krowing old,” he asserts. “You can tven forget it that way. “Age means that the blood runs flow, that the emotions are not as fetrong. that you play safer, that you Stay closer to the hearth. You don't try to find new continents or even to explore old ones. You don’t travel into unbeaten wilderness and lay out new roads. You stick to the bid roads when you go out a, all. “The world can’t go on with old people. It takes young ones that |.re daring, with courage and faith. “Who are the croakers, who have bun their race and lived their time, who are they to keep back expression and hope and youth and joy from a world that is almost barren fct the best?” CITY GROCERY LOOTED (Thief Loads Auto and Drives Off Before Police Arrive. Leaving the motor of his car running, a thief loaded the auto with merchandise from the Standard grocery, Miley avenue and New York street, early today, driving away before police arrived. Value of the loot was not determined. Alleged to have been looking into Windows, Virgil McDonald, 19, Negro, of 1514 Reisner street, was captured late Tuesday night. He is charged with vagrancy.

You might think they were playboys at a picnic of the Amalgamated Pretzel Benders. Instead, however, they’re very dignified bandsmen who appeared at the Command horse show at Aldershot, England. The horns—for they really are horns—were called “bass serpents” in the days when they were played for Queen Anne. In the center is a musician with the modern counterpart of the strange instruments.

RARE TORTURE BY RACKETEERS Three Are Suspects in Gang ‘Kidnaping’ of Pair. By United Press SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y., July B. A story of the torture of two young men was related by authorities today as they sought a gang of rum runners, led by a giant oriental. The men, Kenneth Farrell and Jacob Antilety, 19, were kidnaped Friday, police said, when they came to town with a companion to visit a speakeasy. They were beaten with a piano stool and pistol butt and branded on the soles of their feet with a hot iron potato masher, to make them reveal the whereabouts of two truckloads of liquor which had been hi-jacked a few days before. After being tortured for several hours in a house near the estate of Colonel H. H. Rogers, millionaire oil man, they were driven through the town and thrown out. The two, in serious condition at Southampton hospital, identified three of their attackers as Henry Thiele, Charles Walker and Frank Alfred. They were arrested and released on bail of $5,000 each on charges of assault. 924 IN BUTLER SESSION Enrollment for Summer School Includes 548 in City.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ROCKEFELLER IS 92 TODAY; SAYS HE’LLSEE 100 Celebrates His Birthday at Feudal Manor Near Tarrytown. (Copyright. 1931. by United Press) TARRYTOWN, N. J. f July B. John D. Rockefeller Sr., whose habit of saving pennies as a farm boy in Moravia, N. Y., led to creation of one of the world’s largest fortunes, celebrated his ninety-second birthday at his feudal manor in Pocantico Hills todays. Twenty years ago when he turned over to his son control of the Standard Oil Corporation, a vast monopoly representing seven-eighths of the industry, he had achieved the success he desired in business. Not# he is engaged, Just as earnestly, in living to be 100. “Why, 111 live to be 100. I feel as well as I ever did. I’ll even beat 100,” he told a friend Tuesday. And in accordance with the rules of living which he has set for himself—rules from which he never deviates—he planned a simple celebration, different from any other day’s routine only in the fact that members of the immediate family were present, and that there would be a birthday cake on the dinner table. Shielded from the public In the privacy of his 8,00-acre estate by a small army of private policemen, he planned to breakfast, play numerica, a form of solitaire; golf his usual nine holes, nap after lunch, go for a drive before dinner and pass out dimes. An old Malayan proverb is: “The quickest pace of an elephant is the slowest pace of a man.”

S.H. Tir.J c e.) Oh! How good it feels to put your tired, aching feet in a “TIZ” bath! You can just feel the pain being drawn out and grateful comfort being restored. “TIZ” draws out the acids and poisons that puff up your feet and make them tender and sore. It takes all the soreness out of corns, calluses and strained muscles and makes tight shoes feel a half size larger. Get a box of “TIZ” at any drug or department store and have weeks of foot comfort for a few cents. Bathe Them in “TIZ”
