NATION HONORS HOLMES ON HIS 91ST BIRTHDAY First Time in Thirty Years Anniversary Finds Him Free of Judicial Duties. My 1, nitrd I’rr ** WASHINGTON. March B.—Oliver Wendell Holmes celebrated his ninety-first birthday today. It is the first time in thirty years that he has been free from the duties of a supreme court justice. Cabinet members, jurists, lawyers and government officials will join tonight in honor-

ing the “grand old man” of the American bench knowing, as Holmes knows, that there can not be many more birthday parties for him. Their praises of the veteran whose liberal, lucid opinions have become legal and literary monuments of wo r 1 d-w id e renown will ring through the banquet hall.

'•j •• v

But Holmes’ sole participation will be to hear the world of praise over a radio, which he allowed to be installed in his quiet study a year ago as a, concession to a mechanical age. When he celebrated his birthday at that time, leaders from all walks of life paid him tribute and Holmes responded with a brief classic sum- ; mation of his philosophy of old age. Tonight he will not talk, but his words of appreciation will be read to the assembled guests and take their place with his famous, but tare speeches of other years. Absent From Own Party This absentee participation in his own birthday celebration does not correctly reflect the condition of the aged jurist’s health. Because he pleaded the feebleness of age when, to the surprise of his most intimate friends, he resigned from the bench Jan. 19, those who followed his career said he had not long to live. Previously they were sure he would die “with his boots on,” that he might even fall asleep at the bench, and never awaken. His resignation was taken as a grudging concession to a fate that would brook no other answer. “With nothing to do,” they said, “he will go home and go to bed to await the end.” Holmes Fools ’Em All But Holmes fooled them as he fooled the crude surgeons when he j lay wounded on the battlefields of Ball's Bluff, Antictam and Mary’s Heights. With the heavy burden of ju- 1 dicial care off the once broad and erect shoulders, much of the weak- j ness which made it necessary for Chief Justice Hughes to help him to the bench on his last appearance is gone. He appears to have taken anew lease on life. Lumbago, the painful disease that | hampered his movements, still im- j pedes him. but he is less feeble and ! take a keen, humorous interest, ini life. Events still intrigue him, j though his opinions on them are no longer judicial.

BAR PLANS POLL ON JUDGE. PROSECUTOR Ballots to Bp Mailed Attorneys April 3 for Tarty Line Vote. The Indianapolis Bar Association will poll its members for recommendations on nominees for circuit .iudpe and prosecutor. Paul F. Davis, president, announced today. First ballots will be mailed April 3. Democrat? will be asked to indicate their choices in that party, and Republicans in theirs. After these votes have been tabulated. another ballot containing the names of contenders for the office in each party will be sent to Republicans and Democrats who will be asked to select their choices on each ticket, thus eliminating politics in the final voting. The results will be given publicity, Davis said.

HINER HITS FOOD PRICES Charges Discrepancies on Quotations on Foor Relief. Discrepancies in prices quoted in newspaper advertising of a grocery and those charged in filling Wayne township poor relief orders, were charged by Ward B. Hiner. Liberty party candidate for Governor, in an address Monday night over station WKBF. According to Hiner. the advertisement quoted lard at 7 cents a jxumd, but 13 cents was the price charged on a poor order. Other alleged discrepancies cited were coffee at 10 and 25 cents a pound; oleomargarine, 11 and 20 cents and potatoes, 19 and 40 cents a peck.

AVOID UGLY PIMPLES Does a pimply face embarrass you? Get a package ot Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin should begin to clear after you have taken the tablets a few nights, if you are like thousands ot others. Help cleanse the blood, bowels and liver with Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel; there's no sickness or pain after taking them. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as es-1 fectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. Thousands who take Olive Tablets are never cursed with a "dark brown taste,” a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no good” feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition, pjmply lace. Olive Tablets .ire a purely vegetable compound: known bv their olive color. Dr. Kdivards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel complaint and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result. Take night ly f"r a week. See how much better you feel and look. 15c, 30c, 60c.—Advertisement.

QTRANGER, halt a moment to shed a tear for Indiana’s one and only Senator Jim Watson. Confidential advices from Washington are all to the effect that Senator Jim isn't so happy. It is written that Watson complains that Democrat Joe Robinson is the real leader of the senate and that he admits himself that he is only the minority leader. The cause of grief is that Robinson gets more attention at the White House than does Watson. Meanwhile, it is whispered that Senator Jim has pocketed the home loan mortgage bank bill without much ceremony. It was to urge passage of this measure, which would open avenues to issue mortgages on new real estate and begin home construction, that a score of Indiana and Indianapolis business men recently trekked to the capitol. ana Senator Jim at that time smiled genially at the boys, patted them on the back and assured them v o would do all possible to aid in passage of the measure. But the dope is that it would be futile to press for action at this time. He may bring it out of his pocket later in the session, but not soon. Advices from the dome also declare that a number of senators, including Watson, are planning to build their campaigns for re-elec-tion on an anti-world court basis. That would be right down Jim’s alley. If there is anything he would rather talk about than the League of Nations or the World Court, it has not been discovered. Jim can indulge in the sort of oratory at which he excels, which is that which says nothing. u a a Defending the tariff or the Hoover administration won’t prove to be so popular and of course you can’t get him to say anything concrete about federal control of power resources or tax relief. Watson is expected to reaffirm nis stand for a referendum on prohibition—but that will be the only commitment. From all indications, that kind of hooey won’t be much help this year —that is, unless the public temper is fooling everybody. It would be real entertainment to see the senior senator smoked out in the open for once.

DEMOCRATS IN TEST New Hampshire Voting on Roosevelt, Smith Today. Mi/ United Press CONCORD, N. H„ March B.—The nation’s first presidents 1 primary of 1932 drew New Hampshire’s Democrats to the polls today to choose between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith -- their party's candidate. While the New York Governor was conceded an edge over his predecessor, some felt that Roosevelt would not win all eight of the state’s convention votes. Smith forces were handicapped, it was thought, in that virtually all their candidates were residents of Manchester. The Rooseveltpledged candidates were scattered.
