ICE DEALERS OF STATE CONVENE 2-DAY MEETING Best Way to Advertise Product Considered at Session. If ice-picks are any criterion, then the wet and dry polls conducted in the nation might as well go “corkscrew” or “bottle-opener.” This was demonstrated today at the opening of the two-day convention of the Indiana Ice Dealers’ Association in the Severin. Ice-picks with bottle-openers on the ends of the picks were on display, in addition to special tongs for the family. Nattily Dressed Iceman The tongs arc guaranteed not to wangle with either the wrists or the neck. Another feature of the convention was the dolling up of the iceman. The days when he came to the back door in an old corduroy pair of pants are gone. The iceman of 1932 must have on his “whites,” ‘•grays” or “blues” if he is to be in the chilly swim. Speakers at the morning session of the convention were Paul Fishback, secretary of the National Food Brokers Association of Indianapolis, A. O. Wilson of South Bend and A. W. Nelly of Chicago. Banquet to Be Tonight The afternoon’s session was devoted to the best means of advertising the message of icemen to the public. The speakers were of the opinion that the newspapers offered a wider range of appeal than the radio. The convention’s banquet will be held at 6:30 tonight on the Severin roof. Following the conclusion of the convention, with a theater party Thursday night, the Great Lakes division of the National Association of Ice Industries will meet Friday. BUILDING OF TARIFF WALLS IS UNABATED Feverish Competition Continues, Despite Lesson, Says Expert. By Ecripps-lloward 'Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The feverish world’’competition in tariff wall building and trade control that marked 1931 continues in 1932, according to Henry Chalmers, chief of the division of foreign tariffs, United States department of commerce, in a statement issued today. Chalmers, who found last year J marked by drastic trade control measures, finds the present one witnessing the same sort of competitive tampering. In 1931, measures adopted by many countries included not only higher tariffs, but quota limitations, other restrictions on imports, exchange controls and even gold embargoes “with all their consequences.” On the other hand, to stimulate exports governments have resorted to special tariff treaties, export subsidies, government monopolies, and controls of particular commodities. TWO HELD AS ROBBERS Pair Captured in Frownstown Accused of Ohio Bank Holdups. By United Press BROWNSTOWN, Ind., Feb. 24.

DRYS PREVENT RECORD VOTE ON LIQUOR ISSUE Defeat Attempt in House to Ban Wire Tapping by Agents. By United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.—Southern Democratic dry leaders were credited today with out-maneuver-ing anti-prohibitionists to prevent the first record vote in the house on a prohibition issue in three years. The parliamentary fiasco came Tuesday night after a long cat-and-dog fight in which the “wet bloc” marshaled the largest vote, 103, since prohibition became effective. , By a vote of 132 to 103, tirys defeated an amendment to the justice department appropriation bill', offered by Representative John C. Schafer (Rep., Wis.), the big-chest-ed, bull-voiced former railroad engineer, which would have prevented the use of any funds for wire tapping by prohibition agents. “Fewer Babies” to Be Topic “Fewer and Better Babies” was I the topic of Dr. Charles O.

SLOW TAXES IN ARKANSAS SHUT SCHOOL DOORS More Than 36,000 Pupils of Rural Regions Forced to Take Vacations. By United Press LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 24. One by one, Arkansas’ “little red school-houses” have shut their doors until today a survey showed more than 36,000 rural children on enforced vacations brought by closing of 756 public schools. Local financial crises brought by closed banks and slow tax collections have forced counties, many cf them ravaged a year ago by drought, to shut down the schools. Few of the institutions are expected to reopen before September. And, in addition, 1.200 more schools are expected to close earlier than usual this spring due to lack of funds. Public subscriptions have been taken up by some communities to enable the continued education of their children. When forty-four schools closed in Pulaski county where Little Rock is located, farmers, who had bumper crops all over the state this year, contributed produce free, and all receipts were donated to the school fund. Enough money was raised to pay teachers and the schools were reopened. But other communities were not so fortunate. Nearly 5,000 teachers are on part pay. Those employed in the closed schools are out of work. Many are being cared for by families of their pupils who lodge and board them free—using part of the crops which are bountiful, but bring low prices. The state board of education revealed the full significance of education’s plight with the announcement the average school term this year will be 3.9 months compared with 6.5 in 1931.

VON HINDENBURG TO THE RESCUE!

Called Back to Army, He Wins Notable Victories

This is the third of six exclusive stories on President Paul von Hindenburx. Germany’s greatest modern figure, who is now a candidate for a second term in the national election to be held in Germany Sunday, March 13. BY MILTON BRONNER European Manager. N'EA Service (Copyright. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.) Berlin, Feb. 24.— still in his twenties, Paul von Hindenburg —today a candidate for re-election as president of Germany in his sighty-fifth year—came to the crossroads which was to decide his career. After a victorious close of the war with France, he had been sent back to his post in Hanover, where he spent two years drilling his men. He had done well as a subaltern in Prussia’s wars with Austria and the French; he had been cited for bravery in action and had won a decoration. Now it was time to take stock. Asa junker, two paths were open to him; he could become a landed proprietor like his forefathers, or he could remain in the army. Prussia always had preferred junkers for its officer class. So he chose the army. After four years he was appointed to the general staff and promoted to the rank of captain. He was assigned to a post at Stettin and, whilethere, he married the daughter of General von Sperling. That, too, was all in the tradition. Gertrude von Sperling was descended from a long line of military men. She understood military men. Their marriage proved a boon and a blessing to both. Upon her death Hindenburg could say, in all sincerity, she had been more than a wife. nun AT 34 in the year 1881 he was appointed general staff officer of the First division at Koenigsburg, in East Prussia. For Hindenburg it was like coming home. During the World war, legend had it that while at Koenigsburg Hindenburg had studied all the country around Tannenberg and the Massurian lakes and had then sketched the plans he was to use in the World war against the Russians with such astonishing success. That was simply patriotic bunk. What did happen was that he formed a very close friendship with his divisional commander. The latter was an old warrior and together they studied many of the battles of the past and sought to learn by the mistakes that had been made in those contests. After a short service in command of an infantry company at Fraustadt, Hindenburg was transferred to Berlin with the rank of major and was attached to the general staff. Here he lived for ten years. tt tt tt IN Berlin, he had first contacts with the royal family. When jthe old Emperor Wilhelm I died, Major Hindenburg was chosen as one of the guard of honor who watched over his body while it rested in the great Lutheran cathedral. It was in Berlin, too, that he met his future “All Highest War Lord,” not then kaiser, but simply Prince ; Wilhelm, with two lives between I him and the throne. Hindenburg did not like this FINDS SON IN PRISON Police Given Unpleasant' Task in Notifying Mother. By United Press WARSAW, Ind., Feb. 24.—Police here were given an unpleasant task when they were obliged to notify a Connecticut mother that her son, whom she was seeking, was in prison. Mrs. Marie Giovannello, Fortsville, Conn., wrote local authorities enlisting their aid in a search for her son, Michael Donato, 17. Sergeant Raymond Neff wrote Mrs. Giovannello that Michael is serving a one to ten-year term in the Indiana reformatory on conviction of a charge of stealing a bicycle. The youth was sentenced in Kosciusko circuit court.

flamboyant, talkative, play soldier. Wilhelm did not like the quiet, studious, undemonstrative officer. Out of this afterward grew the legend that the former kaiser had forced Hindenburg out of the army into retirement. That was not true. Wilhelm simply did not think Hindenburg worth troubling about. When he came to the throne he pushed forward more showy individuals, who knew how to boot-lick and flatter. tt tt t* HINDENBURG’S old general and friend, Du Vernois, was given the post of Prussian minister of war. He attached Hindenburg to his own office. In his new job Hindenburg had much to do with the recognition of the importance of engineering in modern warfare and with the introduction of heavy artillery with armies in the field. In 1903, now 46, Hindenburg was given command of a regiment at the city of Oldenburg. When he was nearly 50, he was made majorgeneral and chief of staff of the Eighth army corps at Coblenz, where in later years the American army of occupation was to have its headquarters. At 55 he was given the command af the Fourth army corps at Magdeburg. Here he had about 1,000 Dfficers under him. He differed from most of the Prussian higher officers of the period in that he did not look upon the common soldier as a mere automaton to be drilled and barked at. He tried to understand their viewpoint. It may be because of this and the

reputation he won for fair dealing with the men that when Germany was plunged into revolution, it was not dangerous for him to lead back home his beaten armies. tt tt tt FOR eight years Hindenburg served in his post and then, at the age of 64, voluntarily gave up his job and asked to be placed on retired pay. His modesty and his frugality are shown by the fact that he scribbled this vastly important piece of news on a postcard to his son, who was already a young lieutenant: “Just retired. Retained in the suite of the Third regiment of foot guards. His majesty has most graciously conferred on me the exalted order of the Black Eagle. Do thou likewise. Heartiest salutations. DAD.” He prepared to spend his declining years in Hanover, and rented an inexpensive flat in one of the suburbs. The monotony of this existence sometimes was broken by short trips abroad, notably to Italy. tt tt tt HE, like others, was startled by the murder of the Austrian heir to the throne at Sarajevo in July, 1914. He, like others, was disturbed by the gathering war clouds. He wondered whether he would be called back to service, but no call came. In the meantime, the Russian steam roller had crashed into his beloved East Prussia. German towns were in possession of the czar’s soldiery. Then something happened as dramatic as in a stage play.

Papa Hindenburg loved to go shopping. On the morning of Aug. 22, 1914, he trudged down town, made some purchases, and declined to have them sent home. He told the shopkeeper he would carry them. “I have nothing else to do,” he said, shaking his head sadly. “I find I am not wanted by the men in Berlin.” u tt HE came home, had his lunch, and settled down to read. He had dropped into a gentle doze, the book falling from his hand. His wife came in and woke him. “Eh, what, what?” “A telegram, Paul.” He read it, without trace of excitement. It was a wire from German military headquarters offering him employment in the war. He telegraphed his acceptance. Then wires began to rain in on him: General Ludendorff was to be his chief-of-staff; he himself was to be commander-in-chief of the Third army; he was to go back to his native East Prussia and free it from the iron grip of the Russians. Out of retirement came this grim and gray-haired old warrior, ready as ever for the smell of battle and destined to make Jiistory that will live long in the pages of time. Next: An old man in the World war and his smashing victories. . . . The drive through Poland that cost the Russians a quarter of a million men . . .

Ruth’s mother knew about REM “Whenever one of my four children, Ruth, George, Robert or Theodore, starts to cough,” says Mrs.W.B. Williams of 133 Union St., Taylor, Pa., “I get th§m the REM - -and it isn’t long before they stop coughing. REM has been my stand-by for several years now. I first got a bottle when I saw an ad in the Scranton Times when my husband had a cough. I got it at Thomas’ Drug Store on Main Ave. and it gave him such relief that I started using it for the children, too. It’s a blessing for a mother.” REM clings to the throat as it’s swallowed, cuts the phlegm, clears the air passages. It’s significant that with hundreds of cough-and-cold remedies, millions,nevertheless, insist on REM.

WILD UPROAR i FAILS TO BLOCK TARDJEU 0. K; Vote of Confidence Fatal to Deputies Spectator; Fist Fights Rage. By United Press PARIS, Feb. 24 —Premier Andre* Tardieu was sent back to the Geneva disarmament conference today with a vote of confidence won at the cost of a heart attack fatal to one spectator, fist fights among deputies, black eyes, bleeding noses, torn shirts and collars. The vote, 309 to 262, came during the wildest uproar on record during the present parliament, and after the chamber of deputies had been suspended three times. First suspension came when a spectator in the gallery dropped dead from excitement, the second when a Communist speaker fllli—bustered. and the third when Socialists went over the top of right wing benches and began hand-to-hand encounters. Usher reinforcements were rushed into the fighting area, but could not curb the combatants for fifteen minutes. When order was restored, many deputies retired for medical* attention and treatment for black eyes and bruises. TOW-IN LOSES AG AIN Attorney Wins Dismissal on Sunday! • Parking Charge.
