JUST A CHANGE; ! BUT HE'S NOW ‘MAKING GOOD' Probation Officer’s Plea Four Years Ago Proves Worth-While. This might be called "Proma Lion Officers Know Best,” or it might be titled “Braari Cast Upon the Water Returns to Giver,” but if it were, one would be Ignoring “The Kid,” and some way. or other you got to give the “Kid” credit —he fought back—so here goes. Pour years ago ‘The Kid,” then 16, was a thief. He was the thorn in the side of many policemen. He was a double-dose of Peck's Bad Boy 1 nlndianapolis. “The Kid” faced a municipal Judge cn a theft charge. His first conviction loomed. Every one was dead against giving him another ! chance—that is, every one but Solon C. Vial, chief probation officer of the municipal courts. Begged for Chanre Vial begged and pleaded for "The Kid.” ‘‘Give him a chance. I believe he’ll go straight,” Vial told the judge. Vial won. Then he took the “Kid” in his office and gave him a verbal ‘going-over.” ‘‘Look here. Kid, if you'd been convicted in that court you’d never be able to say in hunting a job that you had no criminr.l record. You couldn't take a civil service ;)ob or one where character counts,” Vail told him. Vial forgot the incident in handling myriad of court cases until today. And today a young man poked his head in Vial's office. "Do (you remember me?” he asked. “I'm the Kid!” “I’m the Kid (his right name doesn't matter). I done what you told me. I’ve gone straight. Now 3 want to know about that time the judge almost sentenced me. Will it hurt me getting a job? I think I can get a civil service .job. It has something to do with wearing a badge. Will I be lying if I say a never was convicted of stealing?” Only the buzzing electric fan dis- i turbed the strong silence in Vial's room. He visioned the courtroom scene of four years ago and his pleas for "another chance.” Then Vial stood up. He extended : his big hand and The Kid grasped it. "No you won’t be lying. Now get out of here —and—and —make good,” said the heavy-set probation officer as he shoved 'The Kid’ good-nat-uredly out into a world that’ll never know. HURT IN GAR CRASH William Cox, 18, Suffers Broken Ribs. Several broken ribs and a fracture of the collarbone were incurred Monday night by William Cox, 18. of 347 Woodrow avenue. He was pinned under an auto when it over- ' turned at West and Washington streets, after colliding with a car 1 driven by Charles Banciu, 27, of 125 South California street. Banciu was arrested on charges . Os reckless driving and assault and battery. He and Dolph Cox, father ; of the injured youth, escaped injury. John Klein, 9, of 1734 North Meri- | dian street, suffered a cut on the chin when a tricycle he was riding was struck by an automobile driven j by Stewart Coleman, city detective, j 6280 Washington boulevard. The | accident occurred in front of the Klein home. After his automobile struck a traffic light post in the center of the Meridian and Washington streets' intersection, Leo McGurk, 27, Cleveland, was arrested on a charge of drunken driving. U. S. AGENTS KEEPING FEDERAL AIDS’ PRINTS Civil Service Figures Transferred to Department of Justice. By Scripps-Hntcatd Xetespnper Alliance WASHINGTON, July 19. —The civil service commission's 130.000 sets of fingerprints of federal employes and applicants for government positions have been transferred to the department of justice as an economy measure. Beginning July 1, the bureau of identification revealed today, prints of prospective workers were sandwiched in with those of criminals collected throughout the world. Formerly, the - bureau took the commission’s prints, searched its files to determine if applicants had a criminal record, and returned them. The new system, it is claimed, Till effect an economy. Since fingerprinting applicants for federal positions was begun in the fiscal year ending June. 1929, many frauds have been discovered, it was said. Crimes laid to would-be workers by the method ranged from disorderly conduct to murder. WANTED ONEHUSBA N D Minnesota Girl Will “Sell” Self for SIO,OOO to Aid Father. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan today was casting his eyes about the city in search of an eligible bachelor willing to pay SIO,OOO for the privilege of wedding a good housekeeper and cook.

Charles H.

Hatton has served as first vicepresident during the last year.

FEDERAL FARM BOARD ON TRIAL Senate Jury Assembles to Start Investigation. By 1 tiilrd Press WASHINGTON, July 19.-A jury of senators assembled today to put the federal farm board on trial for its life. The jurors were a subcommittee of the senate committee on agriculture, meeting to formulate plans for the investigation. The inquiry was ordered after several senators branded the board a $500,000,000 failure and demanded its dissolution. Committee members believed their first action would be to employ exports to make a detailed study of the board's operation. They thought hearings would begin in a month or two. “We welcome investigation,” is the stock phrase of every criticised government agency, but Chairman James C. Stone asserted he really meant it in the case of the farm board. He believed the investigation would give him a chance to direct public and congressional attention to what he considers the main purpose of the agricultural marketing act, federal sponsorship of cooperative marketing, rather than to the board’s expensive sideline, commodity price stabilization. PRESSES 'RAID' PROBE Morrissey Gives Evidence to Safety Board. Further investigation of an alleged fake “raid” on the Tasty Toasty shop on U. S. highway No. 31, Sunday night, was promised today by Chief Mike Morrissey, following conference with the safety board. John McGrady, a waiter at the sandwich shop, which has been closed since the incident Sunday night, charges several men, including an Indianapolis police sergeant, the men with the sergeant pretending to bo federal dry agents looking for liquor. Morrissey presented to the safety board statements made by the accused men and several other interested persons, whose names were not given out.

She’d Be Nice to Have on an Initiation, but She’s Too Valuable.

“T'D like to borrow her for a A fraternity initiation tonight. We'd be willing to pay you!” a young collegian asks hopefully. “You can’t have her,” retort* S. H. Greenberg, president of the W. H. Armstrong Company, surgical supply house, 29 North Pennsylvania street. And so it goes day in and day out the same request and always wanting to borrow a ' miss” in the Armstrong store. You can't help seeing her if you pass by Armstrong's. She's 75 years old now. if she's a day, and yet more lodges and fraternal orders and halloween parties have tried to “date her” up than a chorine. "She's worth S2OO to me. And she's one of the most silent of silent partners in this business. I've had her in my employ for twenty-five years,” he says. 800 GREENBERG never is bothered by ' her" talking back. She might wish to go on some gay gin party some night, but she never expresses displeasure when Greenberg refuses her services. Greenberg doesn't know her name. But, sometimes, when he is in a generous mood, he lets her go to a medical convention or to a doctor's lecture, but to a lodge meeting where there's only men present, heaven forbid, for you see she's a skeleton that's hanging in the show window and her sole enjoyment is giving Pennsylvania street intoxicants the “jitters.”

PROPOSE STATE HEADS RETURN j BACK SALARYj House Bill Sets a Sliding Scale on Repayment by Officials. Fifteen tylls aimed at reduction of public expenditures and seeking to tap new sources of revenue were introduced in the house ol representatives today. One of the most novel economy measures was that sponsored by Representatives H. H. Evans (Rep.), Newcastle, and John M. Cantley <Dem.,), Logansport, which would require every public official, whether elective or appointive, excepting the Governor and judges of the supreme, appellate, circuit and superior courts, to pay back to the j general fund a percentage of their salaries. Members of institutional boards would not be exempt. The schedule of refunds provides those receiving salaries of from $3,000 to $4,000 return 10 per cent; $4,000 to $5,000, ; 15 per cent; $5,000 to $7,000. 20 per i cent; $7,000 to $9,000, 25 per cent, and more than $9,000, 30 per cent. Plan to tax billboards used in outdoor advertising at 5 cents a square foot and assessment of a $lO0 \ licensing fee for the advertising ! companies, is advanced by Repre- j sentatives George C. Ale (Dcm.) j Vernon, and Oran W. Cromer ‘ (Rep.) Middletown. Reduction of governmental expenses through abolition of the 1931 | law requiring advertising of county j claims, and a 20 per cent slash in! the rates charged for all legal advertising is sought in two bills introduced today. Another measure would permit a five-year moratorium on redemr - tion of Barrett law bonds, if the bondholders consent.

GUARD HOOVER FROMJfETERANS White House to Be Picketed by Bonus Group. By Uni led Pt%** WASHINGTON, July 19.—Presi- ; dent Hoover returned to the White j House today from his Rapidan fish- I ing camp and found that a demon- •, stratum by "left wing” members of ’ the bonus army, planned to coincide with his arrival, had failed to materialize. Asa precautionary measure, a po- j lice escort met the President's auto- j mobile as it entered the District of j Columbia from Virginia and rode in i advance of him to the White House, j Mr. Hoover left his car at a side en- ! trance and went directly to his of- | fices. A dozen policemen patroling the i Pennsylvania.®venue approaches to! the executive mansion furnished the i only unusual accompaniment to the President’s return. Pedestrians were hurrying along beneath the leafy elms that line the avenue and gave only a glance toward the President's car before passing on. In the demonstration Saturday night the police kept pedestrians out of the White House area, but there was no attempt to divert them today. Word came from the headquarters of John Pace, leader of the “left ! wing” portion of the bonus army, ! that picketing of ihe White House would start Wednesday instead of today. PLEDGED GUNMENS AID Prison Camp Prober Told Gang on Way to Protect Him. tty United Press JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 19. A1 F. Gorman, Duval county grand jury foreman, announced today receipt of a letter from Chicago, signed ”F. C.” advising him that eight gangsters, armed with machine guns, were en route to Jacksonville to protect him in his inquiry into prison camp punishment methods. The grand jury over which Gor- | man presides indicted two prison I camp guards two weeks ago in the | "sweat box" death of Arthur Maille-; fert. 19-year-old New Jersey boy. j Gorman announced subsequently | he had received multiple threats of death.

Lost all interest in any healthy activity and just lazed around accumulating the old pounds.” Start taking Krusohpn Salts —dint’s thp common-sense SAKE way to reduce. This is what they and clean out the Impurities in your bioo 1 by keeping the bowels, kidneys and liver in splendid working shape and fill you with a vigor and tireless energy you'd most forgotten had existed. Asa result instead of planting yourself in an easy chair every free moment and letting flabby fat accumulate. you feel an urge for activity that keeps you moving around doing the things you've always wanted to do and needed to do to keep you in good condition.

Take onehalf teaspoonful in a glass of hot water to-morrow morning and every morning—and if they don't change your whole idea about reducing, go back and get the small price you paid for them. Get a bottle of Krusehen Salts—lasts 4 week?—at any progressive druggist anywhere in the world, hut fer your health's sake when reducing be sure and get Krusehen—it’s the safe, harmless way to reduce.—Advertisement.
