AIDS OF LAVAL WILL URGE U. $. TARIFF SLASH Premier’s Assistants Will Discuss World-Wide Rate Cuts. BY RALPH HEINZEN U'nlt#d Prr* Staff Cnrreaixundrnt ABOARD S. S. ILE DE FRANCE. Oct. 20.—Premier Pierre Laval does not plan to discuss with President Hoover reduction of tariff, but ethers in his party may discuss the tubject with American industrialists. The premie* was urged by French Industrialists, through Leon Meyer, .■Socialist mayor of Le Havre, to take tip tariff reductions with the President. It was the last appeal made to Laval before he boarded the lie X>c France. Professor Charles Rist, honorary governor of the Bank of France, accompanying Laval, intends to talk -fc'ith American manufacturers and members of the government and likely will make possible world reduction part of his observations. Reductions Are Unlikely Rist said that France would welcome American initiative as a prelude to lower tariffs throughout the World. He believed reductions in France ftnd the United States unlikely at present, however, because of forthcoming elections. He said Germany probably would be the first to offer mutual reductions to nations agreeing to lower tariffs on German goods. Rist was pessimistic regarding the Unemployment situation, predicting increases in France and the United States. He blamed exaggerated tariffs. Although he is an advocate of limited tariffs rather than free I trade.

Ahead of Schedule The He De France continued to be "hours ahead of schedule today. The Ship will reach quarantine early Thursday, but there is expected to be no change in the plans for the landing of Laval and his party. They will go ashore at 9 a. m. and be welcomed by Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, and other officials of the government and the city of New York. Laval and the experts accompanying him to Washington considered the official French program compete today. The security-disarma-ment thesis follows the general outline of that presented to the League .of Nations, although Laval is expected to make concessions in reduction of -irmament budgets without a corresponding sacrifice of actual man power. - France will urge an “irreducable minimum” of war debts and reparations. Laval intimated he would not make a proposal on reparations, but -would await the opportunity to reply to American overtures.

MELSON POKES FUN AT HIMSELF IN FILM Mew Bill at the Lyric Runs to Fine Dancing and Novelty in Song, Comedy and Instrumental Music of Charm. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SEEMS funny to see a singing comedian poke fun at himself while his own talking shadow is on the screen. Anyway that is just what Charles Melson is doing this season and he is doing it in a most novel way. He tells you that before a guy can get into pictures in Hollywood he has to have a screen test made and Charlie brings forth the result of his own test. The result is a comedy novelty wth Melson in the flesh carrying on a conversation with himself on the screen. Melson also has the services of Miss Irmanette, a good violinist and also good to look at.

This act has class and novelty with Melson putting lot of energy and common sense showmanship into everything that he does. I like the act of Bentell and Gould who along with Eddie Blum stages a fine xylophone act which is different from any I have seen. These three dance while they play their instruments and the opening number is a knockout. Mighty wise showman to be able to doll up a xylophone like they do. As you probably remember, I consider Walter Walters and his assistant, the best ventriloquists in the business. I probably should say that Walters is the act. His baby crying stunt is a wonder. And their dummies look life like. Harrison and Elmo in blackface have one of the funniest craps shooting games that the American stage has just now. Here is a fast moving blackface act. Real comedy merit here. The woman in the act helps too. Pilcer and Douglas along with Timothy Wren have a song and dance revue act which is splendid. I liked especially the dance work of Wren. He is a wonder. His rumba dance number with the woman of the team is a wonder of movements. Labelle Pola—Here is a surprise act, a real novelty for you and I will not give it away. The movie is George O'Brien in “Riders of the Purple Sage.”

Everything is just right at the Friday night at Providence, R. I.

A Cold

Colds are common because people are careless. Prompt use of aspirin will always check a cold. Or relieve your cold at any stage. And genuine aspirin can't hurtyou. Take two tablets of Bayer Aspirin at the first indication of a cold, and that’s usually the end of it. If every symptom hasn't disappeared in a few hours, repeat. Bayer Aspirin does not depress the heart. Take enough to give complete relief. And if your throat is sore, dissolve three tablets in water and gargle away all soreness. In every package of genuine Bayer Aspirin are proven directions for colds, headaches, sore throat, neuralgia, neuritis. Millions who used to suffer from these things have found winter comfort in aspirin.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STATE FORGES MASS TO FIGHT UTILITY APPEAL ” I" Vincennes Firm’s Moves to Be Contested Bitterly in Courts. Two state departments, the city and citizens of Vincennes all will unite in fighting appeal of the latest Vincennes Water Company case in federal court, it was announced today by Commissioner Howell Ellis of the public service commission, author of the Vincennes order. The order was considered the most revolutionary in commissoin history, and so drastic were its changes from the usual commission course that it was reported an effort would be made to keep the courts from possibly upholding it, and thus establishing new precedent. Should the order be upheld it will mean that the courts, as well as the public service commission, recognize anew deal for the consuming public in utility matters. Lowers Return 2 Per Cent For the Ellis order provides not only recognition of reduced values of utility properties, under the replacement new theory of valution, but gives 5 per cent as a fair rate of return, instead of a former minimum of 7 per cent recognized by the United States supreme court. Ellis refused to recognize the theory of Clyde Jones, attorney for the company, that a former valuation of the Vincennes property made by court decision could not be reduced. In 1928 the company obtained a $1,032,000 valuation from the federal court of appeals, but the Ellis order sets present value of' the properties at SBOO,OOO. Company officials are claiming $1,500,000. Passed Three to Two Another feature of the Ellis order was recognition by the commission that the value given by utilities at state tax board hearings have some bearing on the values for rate making. Chairman John W. McCardle and Commissioner Jere West refused to join in the order, but it was passed by a vote of three to two. Commis-

W. P. Lightholder Installation of newly elected officers of the Improved Order of Red Men, meeting in the K. of P, building today, will be conducted by W. P. Lightholder of St. Louis, who is representing the great incohonee of the national order. Lightholder is treasurer of the national organization.

sioner Frank Singleton and Harry K. Cuthbertson voted to uphold Ellis’ findings. Jones filed an injunction suit in the case with the United States district court here Saturday. Brands Court Offenders The court decision will be watched by utilities throughout the country, and it is expected that they will fight to the highest court to retain the legal protection they now have for their high rates. “The courts, after all, have been the greatest offenders in the matter of high rates,” Ellis declared today in commenting on the appeal. "Whether they get credit for it with the public or not, the ordinary public service commissioner likes to see rates reduced. That is the popular trend and no one in public life likes unpopularity.” It was pointed out that there has been much recent talk about the United States supreme court becoming more liberal on economic problems. Such cases as this will test the whole federal judiciary in the matter.

at a time when there is very little of it in sight. Robinson has been Mr. Hoover’s friend for years, and the latter is known to want a man in whom he can confide, rather than the usual j type of old-fashioned politician. For this reason the Los Angeles ; man is said to have the call over I Charles D. Hiles. New York na- ; tional committeeman, who has been ! considered for the post because of j his talent for making Wall street Republicans open their purse strings in a presidential year. Although not so badly off as the Democrats, who owe John J. Raskob more than $500,000, the Republicans are feeling the pinch of the depression. It is said they have barely j enough cash to pay their employes l at headquarters, here for another month. Joseph G. Nutt, treasurer, has been sending out appeals for contributions for current expenses. Fess would like to give up his chairmanship before congress opens, for he feels his dual role of senator and G. O. P. Pooh-Bah embarrasses him, not to mention his close association with the organized drys. He will hold on. however, until Mr. Hoover has made up his mind fully 1 concerning a successor.

In offices or in their homes, they drive themselves, working "on their nerve.’’ Hoping against hope that tomorrow they will feel bettfcr • • • But instead they become more and more prostrated.
