CITY IS SHAKEN BY EARTHQUAKE; BAMA6ESLIGHT Tremors, Centering in Ohio, Cause Widespread Alarm in State. Pictures and dishes were replaced in Indianapolis homes today after they had been shaken from their places by an earthquake that affected the north and east sides of the city late ounday afternoon. The tremors were felt for about fifteen seconds at 5:08 p. m. and were centered in the central west section of Ohio. No serious damage was reported here, although residents were alarmed and called newspapers to report the shaking of houses and furniture. The shocks were felt severely in the eastern section of the state, particularly at Richmond, and tremors more severe than here were reported in Anderson and Ft. Wayne, where hospital patients attempted to leave their beds. According to geological authorities at the University of Chicago the quake was caused by a slip in strata and not by volcanic activity. The tremors probably will be forgotten today as Indianapolis undergoes another day of sultry heat. The mercury reached 89 Sunday and is expected to pass this mark before sundown today. J. H. Armington, weather bureau chief, said increasing cloudiness and showers should bring cooler weather to the city not later than Tuesday night. Church Wall Cracked Hjl Vnitrd Prrxx COLUMBUS, 0., Sept. 21. An earthquake of moderate intensity was reported from central and western Ohio cities Sunday afternoon. Several distinct shocks were accompanied by a low rumbling. Damage amounting to approximately SIO,OOO was reported from the village of Anna, Shelby county, where two churches, the high school and several houses were shaken. An outside wall of the Methodist Episcopal church was cracked and stones were jarred loose from the Lutheran church. Severe shocks were felt also in the region of Lima, Sidney, Cincinnati, Springfield, Dayton, Wapakoneta, West Mansfield, Zanesville and Cairo, O. 11 Die in Japan By I nitrd Press TOKIO, Sept. 21.—Eleven persons were killed in a violent earthquake that struck two Japanese prefectures today. Nine were killed in Siatama prefecture and two in Gumma prefecture. Many more were injured seriously. Communication lines between here and Karuizawa, the summer resort where Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh recently visited Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes, were disrupted. MOB BRITISH NOBLEMAN Sir Oswald Moscly Attacked as Traitor During Speech. Ull Vnitrd Press GLASGOW, Scotland, Sept. 21. The varying political fortunes of Sir Oswald Mosely had brought him a wound in the head today, inflicted by a rock thrown by cne of a mob that broke up Sir Oswald's political meetings here. The wealthy British nobleman, founder of the “new party,” was routed from a platform on Glasgow Green and chased across a field after he fled in his automobile. Sir Oswold had tried to explain to a crowd of 40,000 why he deserted the Labor party. He was howled down with eric*' of “traitor!” One of the members of his party on the platform was cut on the hand by a razor. Party Ends in Gunplay There was a party at 1616 Cornell avenue early today, Miss Claudia Robinson, 26, Negro, 1509 Columbia avenue, told police. But festivities were interrupted, she declared, when Lonie Johnson, 30, Negro, got mad at Miss Ella Smith, Negro, drew a gun and shot at her, but hit Miss Robinson in the hip. She was treated at city hospital.

Why you should be interested in your Blood Count It is important to know that the red-blood-cells are the ‘ ’ships” that sail in the blood stream and carry nourishment and oxygen to all parts of the body . . . they build and sustain —they also remove impurities from the tissues. Whenever the number of red-blood-cells is materially reduced, lowered vitality ensues and the system becomes more susceptible to the ravages of various diseases. It is a great protection to health and physical well-being to keep the red-blood-cell count up to normal, ——

Death Calls

Mrs. Everett Sanders

SANDERS BURIAL PLANS^WAITED Wife of Coolidge’s Aid Succumbs in Paris. Hoosier friends of Mrs. Everett Sanders awaited word from France today of the plans for her burial. Mrs. Sanders, wife of Everett Sanders, one-time Indiana congressman and secretary to President Coolidge, died Sunday in Paris. She was operated upon for peritonitis a month ago and failed to reedver. Mrs. Sanders was born near Jasonville in Greene county and met Mr. Sanders when both were students at the Indiana state college at Terre Haute. They were married while he attended the Indiana university law school at Bloomington. They lived in Washington while Mr. Sanders served as congressman for the Fifth district, and returned there when he succeeded Bascom Slemp at Coolidge’s secretary. Mrs. Nancy Neal, mother of Mrs. Sanders, lives at Terre Haute, and it is believed that the body may be returned there for burial. FREED INJUTO QUIZ Hot Car Ring Suspect Is Released by Police. Rex Gray, 2136 Conrad avenue, arrested several days ago by state police as a suspect in an auto theft ring, has been released, the accusation proving without grounds. Gray was arrested for Bloomington authorities, on accusation that his shop, the Quiewa Service Shop, 929 River avenue, was used for repainting stolen automobiles. After being taken to jail in Bloomington, he was returned here and charged with vagrancy. Records show the vagrancy charge was dismissed in Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer’s court, but Gray maintains he was freed without an appearance in court. Others arrested in the alleged ring were John Poe, 1537 Kappes street, and Roy Poore, Darrel Dobbs, Mansford, and Andrew' Saiters of near Bloomington. One of the stolen cars had been painted in his garage, Gray admitted, but he convinced authorities he did not know the car was stolen. Stopped for Light, Slugged One of four men who stopped him Sunday night at Sixteenth street and Capitol avenue, slugged Elwood Craig, 3359 North Illinois street, with a bottle, Craig told police. They asked for a light, and refused to return a cigaret lighter he loaned them.

YEGGS BATTER SAFE IN TRUCK FIRMJFFICES Work in Vain as Door of Vault Withstands Pounding. Yeggs who broke through a window into the White Trucking Company, 893 Massachusetts avenue, Sunday, borrowed tools in the place to pound the combination off the safe, D. C. Meyer*, manager, told police. Their work was in vain. Although they battered the safe, it did not. open. Cries of several men near Union station to "Catch that thief!” Sunday night led police to arrest Leon Selby, 19, of 502 Coffey street, who is charged with vagrancy and held under SI,OOO bonds. He is alleged to have attempted to steal an auto near Union station when an employe there noticed him and started the chase. Loot Tailor Shop Thieves looted the Raab’s Tailors, 5 North Pennsylvania street, of trousers worth $35, police were told today. When William Collins, 724 East Fifteenth street, investigated a noise in his home early today, he found a Negro prowiing. “What are you doing here?” Collins demanded. “I’m a policeman,” replied the Negro, taking to his heels. Collins found two purses, containing $9 were missing. Steals $124 in Purse Barnett Burgess, Mooresville, was accosted by a Negro woman while repairing a tire at Indiana avenue and Vermont street Sunday, and she stole $124 from a purse in his pocket, he told police. Six Negroes were held today on vagrancy charges, accused of having stripped a stolen automobile on Crawfordsville road, west of Speedway City, Sunday. They are John Allen, 19; John Wilson, 18; Sam Yates, 40; John Watts, 23; George McKinney, 49, and A1 Davis, 17. PLAN P.-T. LUNCHEON Federation to Meet Wednesday in all-Souls Church.

—worth knowing: ■—let’s pause a moment to give those vital red cells the consideration they deserve. They mean so much for better health and happiness. It is not fair to expect one to like work or to enjoy play with a “lowered” blood count. f So often the reason is simple—that good body of ours has “run-down” under the strain of our way of living . . . pressure of work and worry. If this is your trouble why not take steps to overcome it —remembering that a “tired feeling” may be a warning ... so are pimples, boils and paleness. A general run-down condition means a lack of normal resistance to infection and disease. A lagging appetite often leads to underweight and ill health. For generations S.S.S. as a tonic has been helping people gain New Strength, better health and happiness. Its successful record of over 100 years in restoring strength and vitality to the blood surely warrants your giving it a good trial. Why not start taking S.S.S. today?—the larger size represents a price saving.
