Hu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28>-Three firemen were in a critical condition today, overcome by illuminating gas while fighting a fire in the basement of the Capitol theater last night. Cracking gas pipes, heated by a small fire in a pile of rubbish, was given as source of the escaping gas. There was no theater crowd, as theaters are closed Sundays by the blue laws.

ALL in favor of less prediction and more production in 1932, say aye! a a a THOSE who leaped in 1928 might furnish valuable data to those contemplating leaping in 1932, or maybe they better remain silent on the subject. a a a JUST about this time one is able to figure out just how one came out on this gift deal and to make a mental note for .future guidance. a a a BELIEVE it or not, folks, the pictures of “1932” do not represent what the well dressed man will wear next year. a a a Scientists have found a diet that will preserve the teeth. Thousands discovered long ago that placing the teeth in a glass of water at night also helps to preserve them. a a a THE fact that alcohol has preservative qualities may be the reason why some insist on absorbing it in copious quantities. It keeps them not only well preserved but also completely pickled. a a a A KANSAS college student helped defray his expenses by establishing a "blind date” bureau through which he offered to arrange movie, hiking, church or driving engagements between bashful co-eds and undergraduates at 10 cents a date. It seems that he soon went out of business either because he used up the supply too quickly or the parties involved asked for a refund. a a a The Chief Tire Changer ROSE TIRE CO.. Inc. 365 S.

Men Outcasts 11 Girls on Cuban Ranch Never Permitted to See Males.
Bu United Press HAVANA, Dec. 28.—Down in Pinar del Rio province live the Gonzalez girls. There are eleven. They never have seen a member of the male sex, except their brothers and father, and never have been off of the ranch where they were born. The girls are the daughters of Thomas Gonzalez, a planter of moderate circumstances. They are divided into two working shifts and till the soil, tend the cattle and other live stock, gather the crops and do practically any kind of labor that a man could do. There are twelve daughters in the family, but when one of them eloped with one of the village youths, the father issued orders banuning all males excepting those of the family from the house. u * When mechanics call to repair the farm machinery, or for any other business necessary to maintaining the large plantation, the girls are herded into the house and remain there until the visitor has departed. The oldest girl is 32 and the youngest 14. According to family friends, they appear to be satisfied with their manner of living, though some of them expressed the wish that they could go into the nearby city to purchase the clothes that their father now buys and brings home to them. The mother of the girls shares their state of isolation.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. —The federal farm board’s “real longtime constructive program” is only beginning, James C. Stone, board chairman, told the National Association of Marketing officials, meeting in convention here today. Stone declared that the government’s grain and cotton stabilization efforts had done much to “cushion the decline of agricultural prices.” Those who believed stabilization had failed were those who expected too much from it, he said. “Stabilization involves selling as well as buying, and producers must face this fact,” said Stone. “Many people have thought stabilization means to hold the prices permanently higher than would otherwise be. This can not be done without control of production.” EDITOR IS DROWNED Threatens Suicide, Tells Watchman He’s Going Swimming, Dies. By United Press ST.

He ‘Beats’ Cops Bandmaster 'Jims’ Parade; Speeds Up Time to Avenge Arrest.
By United Press NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 28. This is a story of revenge. It so happens that Anthony R. Teta is a printer and band master. Recently the police raided his printing plant and discovered 4,000,000 lottery tickets. Teta paid a $1,200 fine. Shortly after his conviction, he was asked to lead his 102d Infantry band in music for the police drill team, which was to exhibit its marching prowess before the chief and police commissioners. Teta volunteered gladly. A little investigation informed him the police were accustomed to drill at ninety beats per minute. The official observers and proud families of the drill team waited expectantly. Teta raised his baton. The drill captain gave an order. Teta’s band swung into a spirited march at 148 beats to the minute. The policemen galloped out and whirled dizzily through formations. On raced the music. The policemen swung plaintive side glances toward the bandmaster, but Teta only smiled and swung his baton. The drill ended. The policemen wilted. Teta had his revenge. N. U.

BY BEN STERN CURTAIN on the 1932 Democratic pre-convention presidential contest will rise in Indiana ; tonight at Winchester, when Newton D. Baker, secretary of war in the Wilson cabinet, delivers the principal address at the Woodrow Wilson day dinner. As one of the first public appearances of the war secretary since his name has come, to the fore as a presidential possibility, his address is awaited with deep interest. Managers of both major parties in the nation hope that he will divulge his plans in this address. Advance notices from Baker are to the effect that he will confine himself strictly to the topic of Woodrow Wilson, but it is believed that when he discusses the political philosophy of the war President he may inject some of his own thoughts and opinions. If Baker goes so far as to say how he believed Wilson would have handled the problems of this period, it is certain that this will embody his own views regarding a solution to the national dilemma. u n a Several thousand Democratic leaders from all parts of the state have indicated that they will be present, and if Baker is seeking the presidential nomination he may have opportunity to impress them with his worthiness. Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York Governor, made his bid for support when he attended the Governors’ conference at French Lick last summer, and there was a con-
FIGHTS KIR MOONEY Panama Paper Leads Move for Boycott. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—As the United States senate awaits answer from the White House and department of justice to its request for the suppressed Mooney-Billings data of the Wickersham commission, sentiment in favor of pardon continued to roll up from near and far. From Panama came word that the Panama American, a newspaper, was leading a movement to boycott California fruit, vegetables and movies, blacklist the Olympic games next year and “stay away from California until Tom Mooney is free.” A similar demand was made in resolution passed by a mass meeting in Providence, R. I. This meeting was addressed by the state’s union labor leaders, and by Representative Condon (Dem., R. I.) Mayor William A. Anderson of Minneapolis also joined the appeal, and added his plea to that of Governor Olson. METEOROLOGIST IS DEAD Edward Alden Beals Served U. S. Weather Bureau 40 Years. Bu United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28 Edward Alden Beals, 76, noted meteorologist, died at Letterman army hospital Sunday. Beals, native of Troy, N.

stant stream of Democratic leaders to his suite. This is Baker's first visit to Hoosierdom in many years and his address, reception and reaction will be studied carefully. When the 1929 legislature. In its wisdom, placed all nominations for state office in convention, it also did away with the presidential preferential primary, so that Indiana’s delegation will go to the national convention unpledged, unless the state convention decides to support some contender. tt tt tt There is evidenced in this state at present a generally friendly feeling toward the liberal Cleveland attorney, and his appearance may result in solidification into real support. Democratc editors, both here and over the nation, have in the last month indicated a trend to the opinion that Baker may be the answer to Miss Democracy’s need. This more so because of the recent publications which tend to show the real stature of the man. There is a general hesitancy toward distrust of the industrial east and the agricultural groups want a middle-westerner. It’s up to Baker to show Indiana.
