BRITAIN WARNED BY MACDONALD TO STEM PANIC Pleads for Establishment of Stable Rule as Election Nears. by HARRY L. PERCY tutted Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. B—Great Britain turned toward a general election today, warned by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald that a stable government must be established to avoid financial panics, social distress, “and perhaps even revolution.” MacDonald included in his warning “other nations as well as ourselves,” and added, “there is no reason for this happening except fluttering hearts.” He appealed for support of the national government in a radio address rebroadcast to the United States. The prime minister accused the late Labor government, which he headed, of shirking "the unpleasant duty of carrying out what it admitted to be its duty.” Points to Navy Strike He said that prospects for the national government to finish the “deserted work” were promising at first, but “when certain naval incidents, exaggerated and misrepresented, were known all over the world, the task for which the government was formed could not succeed.” The “certain naval incidents” were disorders in the Atlantic fleet, due to reduction of enlisted mens pay, which caused a “passive strike” of sailors and cancellation of fleet maneuvers. MacDonald said the national government’s economy bill and supplementary budget prevented a,catastrophe when sterling went off the gold standard. A cut in the value of money, he said, would be far more disastrous than cuts in pay made in the economy bill. Warns of Bankruptcy He warned that the state would become bankrupt unless imports and exports were balanced, then said the government would try to decrease imports through “some form of prohibition of certain luxuries and other unnecessary things, or it might mean a tariff which would act as an impediment to imports coming into the country.” The “socialist opposition,” the Labor party now headed by Arthur Henderson, lost no time in defying MacDonald and his alliance with sections of Labor’s political enemies. Henderson addressed the annual conference of the Labor party ->.t Scarborough, and declared “the mean, sordid period of intrigue has ended and revealed to the nation the complete lack of insight the government has shown.” PHONE MERGER ASKED Approval Sought for Joining 14 Small Indiana Companies. Petition for formation of the Union Telephone Company from fourteen small companies in Indiana was filed with the public service commission Wednesday by the United Telephone Company of Abilene, Kas., recent purchaser of the James P. Goodrich phone interests. Companies involved in the proposed merger: Amboy Home Telephone Company; Baker’s Corner-Horton Company; Browns Valley-Newton Company; Center Telephone Company; Citizens Co-operative Company; Ekin Mutual Company: and Greentown, Mellott, Mooresville, Morocco, Newton, State Line, Vcedersburg and Waynetown companies. TRUCK SUIT IS FILED Action Started to Mandate Mayr to Order “Foreigners” Arrested. Legal action was started in circuit court Wednesday to mandate Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state, to order the arrest of persons driving trucks from Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma and Tennessee within the boundaries of Indiana. Those states require Indiana vehicles to buy licenses when driving within their territories. Indiana does not exact license fees from cars from outside the state. The complaint was filed by Ward B. Hiner, bus line operator. ATTACKS LICENSE LAW City Counsel Believes Ban on Free Permits Illegal. Edward H Knight, city corporation counsel, believes that Indiana’s 1931 statute abolishing free automobile licenses for cities, school cities, and other similar corporations, is invalid, he told the works board today in a lengthy opinion. To buy licenses for city-operated vehicles in Inoianapolis would require about $4,000 annually. Knight said he has conferred with a deputy attorney-general and had arranged with Grover C. Garrett, state police chief, to obtain an opinion on the new law from At-torney-General James M. Ogden.

Second Love Shattered, Aimee Emerges on Road to Success

Tbi* Is the third of six stories on the amazing events In the love story of Aimre Semple MrPherson Hutton, the Ixis Anjreles evangelist, who recently embarked on her third honeymoon. BY LAURA LOU BROOKMAN NEA Service Writer (Copyright. 1931, bv NEA Service. Inc.i WHEN love came to Aimee McPherson for the second time no one had yet heard of "companionate marriage.” There is reason, however, to regard Aimee’s marriage to Harold McPherson as one of the first companionate marriages. It followed the principles of a trial union to be terminated by mutual agreement should it prove unsatisfactory. Harold was a grocery clerk in i Providence, R. I. He attended a tent revival in East Providence one night, was attracted by the flaminghaired young woman who so fervently urged sinners to repent, remained after the meeting to talk with her, and subsequently made a “date.” A few weeks later he asked' Aimee to be his wife. Before she said “Yes,” it was understood between the two that should the evangelist receive the call to missionary service she would : heed 1t if it took her to the ends of the earth. • AND so they were married. Aimee says: “I took up my household duties with the understanding that I should go back to the Lord’s work if ever the call came.” The quotation is from her published life story, “In the Service of the King.” There is no doubt that true love for a time graced this marriage, but eventually the pair became uncongenial. The other day in discussing her wedded life with McPherson, Aimee —now blond and once more a bride —said: “Harold McPherson divorced me seventeen years ago. He had been married once prior to the time he married me. The Bible—Matthew 19:9—states plainly the rule of the Lord in such a case. The words, ‘except it be’ clear me in the eyes of God and in my conscience. “I don’t believe in divorce on a slight pretext. The color of a man’s necktie or the way he talks are not excuses for severing the holy bonds of wedlock.” tt tt tt HER new husband had little money. Three different times he established homes for his preacher-wife, but they were not very comfortable. McPherson was easy-going. He preferred the quiet, orderly routine of filling grocery orders to soulsaving and hand-to-hand pulpit encounters with Lucifer. The couple went to live with the husband’s mother, Mrs. Annie McPherson, at her boarding house soon after their son, Rolf, was born. Together Aimee and Harold edited a religious publication known as “The Bridal Call.” Gradually the rift between the two widened. The young wife became seriously ill and, when she believed herself at death’s door, received what seemed a divine message, instructing her to devote herself to religious work. Health returned and immediately Aimee set forth on the career that was to make her world famous. She left her two children with her mother and gave her full time to evangelistic revivals. McPherson sued for divorce and it was granted. Aimee—in accord with the pre-nuptial pact—did not contest the suit. Later McPherson married again and removed to Florida. tt ts tt TOURING the country in a battered automobile which carried ; a/ ramshackle tent, Aimee began to I attract attention as a divine healer. | She traveled throughout the south, | cast and New England. In 1918, she was first heard in New York City at Old John Street M. E. church. By this time her mother had joined her. “Ma” Kennedy, whose marriage, separation and remarriage to Guy Edward (What-a-Man) Hudson has furnished newspaper headlines throughout recent months, became the business manager of the McPherson troupe. Together mother and daughter set out for the Pacific coast and j there established a tent-church. Aimee’s extraordinary style of preaching and her vivid, dynamic i personality attracted literally thou- ; sands to the fold. In 1922 Angelus j temple was built—magnificent evii dcnce of her congregation’s faith ! and loyalty. tt tt n HER sermons were “different.” She preached once attired as a traffic policeman astride a motorcycle. Another time she appeared as a fireman. The world read such reports of Mrs. McPherson’s religious power as the following newspaper account: “When she wears her flowing white robes and descends the long staircase that leads to the pulpit, her arms filled with roses, her hair beautifully dressed, she appears as an angel to her devoted audience. She radiates athletic vigor. , Her eyes are large and brown

and a smile plays on her full lips. She carries a Bible in her left hand. Her voice is powerful—magically sweet and loving with a lilt that sets one tingling.” Enshrined in this structure, equipped with a radio and an entirely modern stage Aimee soared to heights never before surpassed in her field. Converts came to her in endless succession.

Adoption of the five-day week immediately as a means of meeting the unemployment" situation was voted by the Indianapolis Newspaper Pressmen’s Union, No. 37, Monday night. “The union feels that its action, followed generally throughout all industry, is the only real solution of the unemployment problem,” Secretary Fred Lutz said. While a number of organizations have adopted resolutions favoring the five-day week, the pressmen’s union is the first of the local printing trades unions to place the idea in effect.

ATHEARN MAKES PLEA FOR NEW EDUCATION GOAL Addresses 200 at C. of C. Dinner on Problems of Teaching. “The present problem in American education is not how many things we can create, but the type of people we can develop,” Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, president of Butler university, told more than 200 at the dinner Wedensday night in the Chamber of Commerce. With 28,000,000 children now enrolled annually in the public schools of America, Dr. Athearn predicts that within ten years, two out of every three persons of high school age will be enrolled in secondary schools. This new movement toward higher education for the masses is expressing itself in the rapid growth of junior colleges, Dr. Athearn asserted. Present day trends outlined by President Athearn are towards: Making both elementary and higher education the possession of the masses of the American people, partly through the junior college and the city university. Making the social sciences rather than the physical sciences the core of the curriculum in all schools. “While other cities are experimenting with mass education on

After nine neighbors told Justice George Bonfoey of back fence arguments and of an incident in which Mrs. Edith Rogers claimed Mrs. Rosengrant drenched her with a hose, the justice assessed the aged woman sl4 in costs, but continued the case until April.
