MAGNETO FAULT ENDED HGP TO GIRDLE WORLD Mattern, Griffin Reticent on Further Attempt to Set Mark. (CoDvrleht, 1932. bv United Pres*) BORISOV, U. S. S. R.. July 9. A faulty magneto, necessity for a quick landing and clouds which ob- , s cured a rough peat bog combined to bring an end to the recordsmashing around-the-world flight of James Mattern and Bennett Griffin. The two fliers today dismantled their wrecked plane, smiled ruefully at the unhappy ending of their dazzling flight and hedged on the question of whether they would again attempt to break the flight record of Wiley Post and Harold Gatty. “We made a wenderful flight to Berlin,” Mattern said. ‘‘lt is too bad we crashed when we were well ahead of the Post-Gatty record.” Both fliers, who appeared in excellent physical condition, save for medical dressings on Griffin’s face, praised the treatment they had received from the Russians. So bitter was their disappointment that they were disinclined to give many details of their forced landing in the peat bog, just on the outskirts of the city and not far from the railroad station. They were flying low over Borisov when the magneto began functioning improperly. A forced landing was necessary. They saw a clearing, nosed down to a landing and crashed as their plane smashed into the rough peat bog. The plane hit hard. Mattern’s knee was sprained and Griffin s face was cut. Both were conscious, but dazed. EARLY SWEET CORN IS BADLY HURT BY WILT Bacteria Stunts Plants and They Die Suddenly. tty United Urea* LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 9.—Wilt, caused by bacteria, is ravishing the early sweet corn crop in Indiana, according to C. T. Gregory, extension pathologist on the Purdue university staff. The affected plants usually are stunted and die suddenly, Gregory reported. The leaves often are striped with yellowish green streaks and usually dead tissue develops on the leaves. At the base of the plant, the tissue often appears as if eaton by an insect. To combat this disease, anew resistant strain of golden bantam has been developed at Purdue and, with favorable weather conditions, a fair seed supply should be available by next year, Gregory said. The only solution for this year’s crop, in Gregory’s opinion, is planting of a late variety of corn after the first crop has been destroyed. TRUCK PERMIT ISSUED Public Service Reverses Itself on Kokomo Line Plea. Public service commissioners reversed themselves at their Friday afternoon conference and authorized issuance of an express truck line permit for operation between Indianapolis and Kokomo, to the Railway Express Motor Transport, Inc. The company is a subsidiary of the Railway Express Agency and the permit previously was denied. Trucks will replace express service formerly available on passenger trains. A 3-cent reduction in the freight rate on rough stone was authorized, making the new rate 14*2 cents each hundredweight. The rate applies on shipments from the Bedford-Bloom-ington district to Chicago. PESTHOUSE JS TARGET City Health Board to Back Bill for Abolition. A bill to be presented to the legislature abolishing the city pesthouse will have support of the city heath board, it was decided Friday. Dr. Charles E. Myers, city haspital superintendent, pointed out to the board that the pesthouse, an old dwelling near the main hospital, costs $2,000 annually to maintain and is not needed, as the hospital contagious wards are equipped to care for cases of smallpox. Law requiring the city to maintain the pesthouse was passed following the last serious smallpox epidemic in 1903, it was explained by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health officer. SWIM STARS TO MEET Dual Tourney Scheduled Sunday by Garfield, Rhndius Teams. _ Sw’imming stars from Garfield and Rhodius pools will hold a swimming meet at 3 Sunday in Garfield pool. Robert Goodwin, city swimming supervisor, will be in charge. The meet will be the first of the year for the Garfield water speedsters. Boys and girls will compete separately, except in diving. Feature of the met will be two special races between Walter May of Rhodius and Robert Pritch of Garfield, both under 12. They will swim a 25-yard backstroke race and a 25-yard breaststroke race.

CONTRACT BRIDGE at the EXPEPTS PLAY IT

BY W. E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge Leant T BELIEVE that some people who play contract are afflicted with a disease known as no-trumpitis. One of the most difficult things for a person taking up contract to realize is that no trump seldom is the correct opening. Good four-card suits always should be bid in preference to no trump, and authorities constantly are decreasing the value of these biddable suits. It was not so long ago that everyone required K Q 10 x—now a great many authorities will admit that K Q x x are biddable.

The Bidding

This hand came up in a team-of-four match. At one table South, afflicted with the above mentioned ailment, opened the contracting with two no trump—his correct bid was one spade. North his partner, bid three hearts and South now went to three no trump. West was the opening leader. A bid of two no trump immediately disclosed to him that South held a great many high cards. He felt that to open either a spade or a heart might sacrifice a trick. However, the bid of two no trump generally shows strength in the minors. But as the hand actually was played, West led the four of clubs. East’s nine forced declarer's ace. The king of hearts was followed with the five of hearts—the jack finesse taken, East discarding a spade. The ace of hearts was led from dummy and a small heart followed. East dropping a diamond. The declarer discards a spade and West won the trick with the queen and led another club. East's queen forced the declarer's king. A small diamond was led to dummy’s king. The declarer then cashed the good seven of hearts in dummy. West dropped the eight of spades. South discarded the ten of spades and West signaled spades, playing the jack. A spade was returned from dummy. West's signal in spades now allowed East to drop the jack of diamonds. West won the trick with the ace and led a club. East cashed his three good clubs and the declarer won the last trick with the ace of diamonds. West's opening lead held the declarer to two no trump. Game in hearts, however, was easy and a game contract easily could have been reached if the declarer’s original bid had been one spade.

ID. S, CAN DIVE FAREWELL KISS TO WAR LOANS I Hopes of Collection Fade Almost to Nothing, With European Accord. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreirn Editor WASHINGTON, July 9.—The s agreement between Germany and j the former allies knocks into a ! cocked hat all hope of ever collecting the $11,000,000,000 in war debts which the allies owe the United States. Radical scaling down or cancellation now will have to be considered by this country. The alternative is either default or repudiation. Readjustment hardly can be delayed j longer than next fall or winter. The very situation which this | country ardently wished to avoid appears to have been engineered at Lausanne. Despite Secreary of State Stimon’s plain warning that the formation of anything like a "united front” by the debtor nations would be regarded with displeasure on this side of the water, the whole reparations and war debts problem appears to have been dumped on : Uncle Sam’s doorstep by a unanimous Europe. Ratification Up to U. S. A sweeping agreement between Germany and the allies has been reached with regard to war debts, reparations and war guilt. Butfinal ratification depends upon the United States. That'is to say, the United States either must reduce vastly, or cancel outright, the remaining war debts or else bear the blame before a watching world for blocking the Jong awaited and vitally important European accord and recovery. While Washington hails the reported removal of the war guilt issue from Franco-German relations particularly as a big step forward, it distinctly does not relish being thrust into the limelight as the nation upon which the whole European settlement depends. Its position is this: 1. There is no connection between war debts and reparations. 2. Capacity to pay must remain the American fomula for war debt adjustments. 3. Having been concluded separately, the existing debt agreements can be revised only by individual negotiations with the several nations. Congress Opposes Reduction The present congress repeatedly has shown itself distinctly hostile to reduction, and both big parties have expressed themselves against cancellation, Proponents of cancellation point out that when President Hoover announced the moratorium last year, values on the New York Stock Exchange jumped $10,000,000,000 in two weeks. The paper value of American wealth, it is observed, rose thirty to forty billion dollars. Cancellation therefore, would pay for itself byhelping to bring back prosperity. The Hoover administration has dropped more than one hint that something might be done about cutting down the debts, provided Europe showed some inclination to do the same with armaments. Keep On Buying Arms The American people can not be asked to forgive the war debts, it is argued, if Europe continues to spend several times that amount on increasing weapons of war. If Europeans can buy arms wholesale for anew war, they can pay what they owe on the last. President Hoover’s record proposal for a world-wide, one-third reduction of armaments fell on pretty deaf ears, so far as the great powers were concerned. The fact that these were the very nations which now owe this country most on war debts hardly can fail I to influence his attitude. NATIONALISTS AGAIN NAME JOHN ZAHND He’s Party Nominee for President for Third Time. For the third time in eight years John Zahnd, 2315 East Troy avenue, j is the National party’s nominee for j President. He was the standard bearer in! 1924 and 1928. For the campaign j this year the party chose George I. Wilson, Vineland, N. J., who declined the place. It next was offered S. R, Allen, Springfield. Mass., but he failed to qualify, and. Zahnd was 1 chosen. Candidate for Vice-President is Miss Florence Garvin of Rhode Island, daughter of Lucius F. C. Garvin, twice Governor of the state, and herself elected several times as a member of the Rhode Island legislature. FIGHT METER TACTICS South Side Civic Clubs Committee to Discuss Utility Readings. Report of utility meter readers entering homes in absence of occupants will be received at the monthly meeting of the central committee of South Side Civic Clubs, at i7:30 Wednesday in the Garfield community house. W. C. Rother- j mel, chairman of the utility com- j mittee, will deliver the report. Plan for establishment of a central commissary- for distribution of supplies for poor relief will be discussed by the committee. DEMAND WORLEY TAXES Lien for 59.768 Is Filed bv Federal Revenue Collector. Tax lien for $9,768 was filed in federal court today against Claude M. Worley, former Indianapolis police chief, and his wife, Marie, foi alleged income tax due through Worley's admitted failure to file complete returns. E. E. Neal collector of internal revenue, filed the lien claim. He said evidence in support of the cl&im will be based on that to which i Worley pleaded guilty recently on income tax evasion counts. Worley is to be sentenced July 22. The lien covers alleged unpaid income tax from 1924 to 1930, the amount for the last year alleged to have been more than $5,000.

SAFE INVESTMENT OF FUNDS OFFERED

No Dividends Missed in 46 Years by Building Association. Many persons do not understand what the term "building and loan association’’ means, and are unaware of the many sound features assuring conservative financial investments in these institutions. The Railroadmen's Building and Savings Association, with forty-six years successful service behind it, is an example of the better type of such organizations. This institution is made possible by a union of investing and borrowing members into an association for the purpose of lending money on first mortgage security on improved real estate, and the payment of a conservative dividend on the funds

It is a muss-free; device, one in which the ice is delivered in paper IFfT INSURANCE IS INVESTMENT Paid-Up Policy Offered by Fraternal Group. One of the features of the BenHur Life Association, the wellknown fraternal insurance organization, is the sale of paid up life insurance. This asspciaiion, which is a legal reserve life insurance corporation, permits the purchase of paid up life insurance in minimum sums of SSO. One paid for this policy never bothers the holder, can not be canceled for nonpayment of premiums and is a suersafe investment. It appeals especially to those who are not certain of the future, and it has enabled and will enable many a man to leave his family better provided for, who, if compelled to meet a yearly stipulated premium, might well have lost his insurance. This, of course, is only one of the many policies available to members of this fraternal order—policies that are obtainable at the lowest safe costs, and that have made protection in this order especially attractive. The Ben-Hur organization has behind it more than $10,000,000 in resources, and has paid in benefits more than $30,000,000. It was one of the first of the fraternal organizations to put its rates on a scientific basis, and its whole career has been a gratifying one, both for the fraternity of its local court, Arrius No. 5, and the fine features of its insurance. Local offices are located in the Knights of Pythias building with the general offices at Crawfordsville, where also is maintained an old folks home for the members. Police Officers Seriously 111 Condition of two police officers who are patients in the Methodist hospital was said to be serious today. They are Sergeant Edward A. Wise, who has been ill several weeks, and Fred G. Hess, admitted to the hospital this week.

sacks, with no spilling and no dripping water. Then the uniformity of the cold within the refrigerator is a great consideration. The construction of the Iciere is such that as long as five pounds of ice are left in the refrigerator the cold will be as intense as when the ice compartment is full. This is due to the improved circulation and the large surface presented by the cracked ice. Women who have endeavored to chip off the ice from a large block for the sake of having a chunk in a cooling drink greatly appreciate the advantage of having the ice delivered in small pieces. Other advantages are the larger shelf area, easier access, easier cleaning, and economy of ice consumption. This latter has been a surprise to those who were doubtful of the principle of ' the use of cracked ice in the refrigerator. The Iciere is shown in the beautiful display rooms of the Polar Ice and Fuel Company at 2000 Northwestern avenue. Here are assembled a number of interesting appliances for the use of ice, including the Modine Ice Pan, the remarkable room cooler. The Iciere is demonstrated in these showrooms under all conditions, and in the various sizes. Low first payments and convenient terms make it easy to obtain the Iciere. and it is declared that this refrigerator on now and revolutionary principles soon will pay for itself in the economies it makes possible. The public cordially is invited to visit the cool display rooms of the company and familiarize itself with why ice is declared the best refrigeration for the home.

CITY RAILWAY SYSTEM ASSET TO COMMUNITY Better Living Conditions Made Possible by Rapid Transit. BY J. J. BEDLOW To the man who has imested his savings in a modest home, the maintenance of good public transportation is of first importance. In most cases these homes must be at some distance from the center of activities, and usually, of course, at a distance from the places of employment of the members of the family. Ease and speed in getting about become of real value. If there should be such a thing as a collapse of the public means of transportation, value of the home would be lessened greatly, for in all probability the family would have to move nearer the employment. Real estate values are far more dependent upon transportation than most persons realize. It is of vital interest not only to real estate men, but also to home owners, that this be kept at a high level of efficiency. Fortunately Indianapolis has had for many years and in the face of difficulties now maintains a fine service, both by bus and street car. Effort is made to give the city a really adequate and constructive service, as is witnessed by the recent orders for more rolling stock. Probably no city of its size anywhere enjoys a closer co-operation between the business interests and the street transportation. Study of the system is progressive, designed to meet the needs of the citizens, and the fares are maintained at the lowest figures possible for propar maintenance. intramural transportation systems have not had things easy for the last ten years, it is perhaps only fair that the citizens of Indianapolis should realize all that this system means to the city, and should think of it as the asset to the community it really is. Both this civic interest and the economy of riding on these comfortable cars and busses should appeal to the public. Patronage makes the system capable of responding to public demands, and in turn it confers a value of real estate, makes convenient access to any part of the city possible, and helps build Indianapolis toward its greatness.
