DEPRESSION IS TURNING MANY TO INVENTING Thousands More New Devices Are Registered Than in Days of Prosperity. BV HARRY FERGUSON United Pre Stiff Correipnndent WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.—Things being the way they are these days, more and more of our fellow countrymen are turning to Inventing. Most of them seem to be working on bottle openers and indestructible buttons, although baby carriages are getting a good run. The federal patent office reported today that 1,305 patents were issued last month, and in 1931 a total of 51.766 applications were granted. That was an increase of more than 10,000 over the days of 1927, when a fellow was busy clipping coupons. Musical Traffic Signal Every year since the depression, there has been an increasing number of patents granted. It is painful to report that most of our inventors are rank materialists, interested only in perfecting some device that will bring in money. An exception is the esthetic dreamer who has patented a musical traffical signal. The bottle-openers kept abreast of the times. This is a political year and a well-informed inventor has turned out an opener that is an elephant-Republican symbol. His tusks throw the cap off the bottle. The sporting world is represented by a baseball, the cork core of which is off-center. Throw it to a friend and it will dip, squirm and probably hit him on the head.

Combination Brush-Comb Take the combination comb and brush, for instance. Gone are the days when you comb your hair, then brush it. Some benefactor of the human race has built a device whereby you comb and brush at one time. • Steel shirt buttons are advanced as the solution to the problem of what to do when the button breaks. They won’t break, won’t stain and won’t rip the shirt. Smokers have not been neglected. The problem of where to put cigaret ashes has been with us since Sir Walter Raleigh first inhaled. Well, an inventor solved it. On the end of an ordinary cigaret holder he has attached a small, light ash tray. Just nod your head snappily and, plump, into the tray go the ashes.

TEXT BOOKS PRICES ARE SLASHED AT BUTLER Sludena* to Benefit by Cut of 10 Per Cent. Butier university students will save several thousand dollars during the coming school year by a cut of 10 per cent in text book prices announced today by C. W. Wilson, university secretary. In addition, Wilson announced that the university bookstore will open a department for second-hand books which will mean more saving lor the students. Last year, Butler students spent $35,000 for books. Saving to the students from the 10 per cent cut will be $3,500, Wilson said. Saving from the purchase of second-hand books can not be estimated. In another report, Wilson stated the university spent $607,911 during the fiscal year, ending July 1. More than 90 per cent of that amount was spent locally.

REAL ESTATE MEN TO HOLD CELEBRATION Smoker to Honor Home Loan Bill Passage and Minimium Tax Rate.

Speakers will include Monte L. Munn, sales manager of the Ogle Coal Company, and Merritt Fields, manager of the Indianapolis Association of Credit Men. SQUEALS ARE TIPOFF Only Native Girls Open Oysters for Pearls: Can’t Keep Still Bu United Press SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29. Women largely are responsible for the success of Victor Berge, “pearl baron” of the South seas, he admitted during a visit here while en route to Paris. Only native girls are employed by Berge to open oysters. “They squeal with delight when they find a valuable pearl, and that prevents many priceless pearls from mysteriously disappearing.” he explained. “The squeal is a sure tipoff.” SUICIDE POTION FATAL

Thi* 1* the last of a series of six dally stories detailing glamourous romances that have marked true love triangles of 1932. a subject made timely by the three-cornered Libbv Holman-Bmith Reynolds-'Ab” Walker tragedy in North Carolina. Bv XEA Service THE woman who wss hailed a few years ago as “the most beautiful blond In the movies,” today stands accused as a ‘‘love pirate,” faced by a suit for SIOO,000 by the wife of the man whose affections she is alleged to have stolen. Whether Claire Windsor, film star whose graceful beauty once captivated millions of movie-goers, must pay this price to Mrs. Marian Y. Read for the lost love of her husband, Alfred C. Read Jr. is a question pending before the courts of Oakland, Cal., where Mrs. Read’s alienation suit is on file. Moreover, Mrs. Read has sued her husband for divorce, naming Miss Windsor as co-respondent. The former movie queen, the 29-year-old San Francisco stock broker, and his socially prominent wife form the three points in this Pacific coast “love triangle,” inteiest in which has been revived by the Libby Holman-Smith ReynWalker drama in North Carolina. nun CLAIRE WINDSOR’S famous beauty—hair like golden sunshine, eyes of deepest blue and features like those of a Dresden china doll—had been pretty well forgotten until last March when Mrs. Read filed her SIOO,OOO suit. Then those whose memory goes back to the days of the silent films remembered Miss Windsor for her successful roles In such bygone pictures as “Fools First,” “Brothers Under the Skin,” "Captain Lash” and “Midstream.” They remembered, too, that she had been the wife of Bert Lytell, that she and Lytell had eloped to Mexico in 1925 and that about a couple of years later this union had come to the parting of the ways, as so many movie marriages do.

Then Claire had faded out of the picture into the forgotten limbo of ex-stars. # u n SUDDENLY Claire Windsor’s name came back in to the news. She w'as playing in AJ Jolson’s “Wonder Bar” at San Francisco when officers served on her the papers in Mrs. Read's SIOO,OOO suit. Mrs. Read charged-that the famous blond beauty stole the affections of Mr. Read, prominent stock broker and former University of California athlete. Mrs. Read charged that her husband was “constantly in the company” of Miss Windsor when he was in Los Angeles, “supposedly on business.” She declared the actress had pursued "a course of conduct calculated to win his love.” Almost simultaneously, she filed the divorce suit naming Miss Windsor as co-respondent,

Heavy Toll of Injured Taken in Auto Mishaps

Model Burglar Bit V nit fit rrrsg CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—The model burglar might have succeeded had he been thoughtful enough to wear a veil. As it was: Police hastened to the fashionable Haskell, Inc. dress shop in the loop after the burglar smashed the window, broke into the store and bundled several expensive dresses in a burlap bag. As the officers stared at the display of fall gowns, they noticed one of the wax models •shiver. Their eyes rose from the skirts of the model to its face to see: A winning and toothsome smile with an ebony background. They pulled the model from the feminine finery, arrested him. and identified him as James Kane, 26. Negro burglar who should have worn a veil.

HEARINGS ON POWER WILL BE RESUMED Federal Trade Commission to Go on With Gas, Electric Probe. By Scrippg.Howard .Vet espaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 29—The federal trade ecommission will begin what may be its last year of hearings in the probe of electric and gas utilities on Sept. 13. Two months ago hearings were suspended for the summer while accountants should continue thenwork of examining utility company books. This work has been slowed down slightly by decreased appropriations for the commissison, but officials still hope it can be completed by the end of the fiscal year. June 30.

Principals in this triangle are shown here. The picture of Read and Miss Windsor is one ‘‘Why, the very idea!” exclaimed Claire. “I never lured any man away from his wife and never expect to. “Os course, I know Mr. Read; I was introduced to him by Louis Epstein, A1 Jolson’s manager, but I don’t know why all this fuss should be made over my knowing him. Honestly, T don’t know what it is all about; it has me flabbergasted or floundered, or something like that.” n a VERY adroitly, Mrs. Read obtained letters that Claire had written to her husband and pictures showing them in friendly poses. She submitted the pictures as proof of her contentions. And so, in July, when Claire Windsor was called upon to make a deposition under oath, it is said she admitted she “had loved" Mr. Read, but denied alienating his affections.

Roy Hudson, attorney for Mrs. Read, said that Clairfe admitted writing the letters and quoted her as having said in the deposition: “Yes, I wrote those letters. I was very fond of Mr. Read then. In fact, you might say I loved him. But I had no idea I was coming between him and his wife. I had no desire to break up anybody’s home. I thought Mr. Read and his wife had separated, and he led me to believe that.” Whereupon Mrs. Read commented. “Miss Windsor has admitted just exactly what I have said in my suit.” tt tt tt MIDWAY between the filling of the suit and Claire’s deposition came an exciting episode. In May, Mrs. Read had her husband arrested on a charge that he had kidnaped her at the point of a gun. She told Oaklahoma police that he had abducted her from the home of friends and, with several accomplices, driven her to a lonely spot in a forest thirty miles away. She said she obtained her car keys and escaped when her husband fell asleep beside the road. One report had it that a reconciliation was the purpose of the

Six Persons Hurt in Collision at Illinois and Hampton Drive. Injuries incurred by six persons Sunday when two automobiles collided at Illinois street and Hampton drive. Those hurt were William Birthright, 16, of 529 East Fifty-eighth street; Charles McGarvey, 16, of 5264 Washington boulevard; Claude Baker, 46. of 2036 North La Salle ! street; Baker’s wife and two children. Three automobiles and a truck crashed on Keystone avenue near i the Allisonville road during a storm Sunday afternoon, but only one : person, Miss Myrtle Moll, 46, of ! 2724 1 -2 East Washington street, was injured. She refused medical at- | tention. Mrs. Lola Terry, 43, of 1205 East Vermont street, suffered lacerations on her face when an automobile in : which she was riding, driven by ; James Pruitt, 53, of the Vermont ' street address, collided with a taxicab driven by Marion England, 33, of 1225 North Beville- avenue. Police arrested England on a reckless driving charge. Back injuries were incurred by Cecil Day, 659 West Thirtieth street, when he drove his automobile into a ditch to avoid striking a car parked on the Millersville road at Forty-second street. Others injured in traffic accidents, none seriously, were Don Orcn Burford, 9. of 1803 Southeastern avenue; Cecil Fitzer, 20, of 1188 North Arlington avenue, and Mrs. Ethel Garvin, 36, of 543 Exeter avenue.

Kills Self in Hospital By United Presi LEBANON, Ind., Aug. 29. —Albert D. Telon, 50. committed suicide by drinking poison in his room at a hospital here during the absence of his nurse. He had smuggled the poison into the hospital after a trip to Indianapolis.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

which Read said he gave his wife “in good faith” when it was proposed that she drop her SIOO,000 suit against the actress. alleged kidnaping. Another report had it that Read was trying to effect the return of letters written to him by Miss Windsor which, it was said, he had previously turned over to his wife in an attempted reconciliation and upon her promise that she would drop her suit. Mrs. Read declared she had no intention of dropping it. However, she admits spending part of a night in a hotel with her husband to get the Windsor letters. tt tt tt CONFIDENT of vindication, Miss Windsor has declared that she is ready for a “fight to the finish.”

She asserts that it is her duty to beat the case and thus protect other movie luminaries from “unwarranted charges.” “Time after time, my friends have been unjustly accused and I suppose it is my turn now',” says the blond beauty. "I am going to fight to a finish because it is high time to stop this abuse of people in the public eye. “It is all so utterly absurd; w'hy, I have seen Mr. Read only five or six times in my life.”

tt u tt VIOLA CRONK—the Topeka schoolgirl who found fame in Hollywood after a brief residence in Seattle, and changed her name to Claire Windsor—has known romance before. When still in her teens she w r as married to William Bowles, whom she divorced in 1920, and by whom she has a son, Billie Bowles, born in 1919. In 1925 she married Bert Lytell soon after the latter’s divorce from Evelyn Vaughan. That romance wilted in 1927, when, it is said, Bert found it necessary to spend a lot of time on the road in vaudeville appearances. Rumor also linked her name with that of Buddy Rodgers in his calf-love days and, only a few years ago, with the young millionaire, Philip Plant, who once was the husband of Constance Bennett. In 1930 Claire was aboard Plant's yacht when it was sunk in a collision off Stamford, Conn., and w r as rescued from the sea. Today the former movie queen is as beautiful as ever. She is 5 feet 6 inches in height, her weight still remains at 126 pounds or thereabouts, her deep blue eyes are as luminous as ever and her famous blond tresses still are her crowding glory. Mr. Read has been accused by his wife of a lot of things—but nobody has accused him of being a poor judge of beauty. THE END

Every entrant— and there are but ten now—in the contest to select the city's most distinguished ciiizen denied a tendency toward baldness. But some never have been seen with their hats off. Out of the mire came a runner who bids fair to do some fancy stretch steps. That runner is Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer. He forged into fourth place, right behind the duel for the lead being staged by Tom Quinn, “Cootie” McGinnis and E. W. Mushrush, with 1,232 ballots cast. Forced to Sign Receipt

The Sheaffer supporters, fearing theft or mayhem or safe-cracking over the week-end, forced Jo-Jo to sign a receipt for the 1,200 or odd ballots. In the battle to stay in the Big Ten leaders in the contest that will crown some city man at the state fair on Sept. 8, a bit of highbinding larceny was seen, when the adherents of City Clerk Goett mailed in a sheaf of ballots with 9 cents postage due. “That may cost them ten times that many votes if a refund is not sent immediately to Jo-Jo, the dogfaced derby manager. Jo-Jo is a buttermilk addict and. the 9 cents just cut him out of his daily nippleswigging,” reports Fanny Foam, another judge. Chance for Every One

Any one can jump on all fours into the Big Ten shown in the above skull standings, if they have enough votes to cut out a low man. Actual mugs with cranium measurements of the contestants will be printed in The Times this week. Ballots will be dated, starting Tuesday—and all undated ones must be in The Times office by midnight tonight or in the mail or sent by messenger so they will reach the derby headquarters before 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. The dated ballots must be in the judge’s hands within twenty-four hours of their date.

The contest, first scheduled to close on Sept. 3, will end Sept. 5. The last ballot will be printed that day. The winner will be announced Sept. 6. His noble dome, with facial features, will be shown on that day, wearing the saffron “kelly.” Then, on the night of Sept. 8, he will be crowned at the fair ground with everything from a mallet to a pile-driver. Whip ’em up, derbyists. It’s the stretch run. Vote every day, for anybody, at any time, anyhow. Up and at ’em!

Secretary, American Bridge League WITHOUT doubt, the two most vitally important bridge events in the world today are the masters’ events of the American Bridge League. One event is for pairs and the other for individuals, the winner of each receiving the custody of a solid gold trophy. To qualify in either event, a person must win a national bridge championship title. Every player entering naturally is under a great strain and tries to play his very best, but mistakes are made in this event just the same as at your bridge table.

City Fishermen Differ on How Many to Catch

Some Like Hoover’s Ideas, and Others String With Garner. How many fish should a fisherman catch? How should a fisherman dress when he goes angling? What kind of bait should he use? President Hoover and Jack Garner, Democratic vice-president nominee, differ radically on these questions. What’s your candid opinion, Mr. Indianapolis fisherman? Let's hear from you. The best letter w'ill win a prize that’ll be useful to any fisherman. Keep your letter short and we’ll print as many of them as we can. Here are the views of three anglers:

Catch All You Can Times Fishing Editor —I am setting forth below answers to the questions in the August 23 issue of your paper. 1. How many fish should a fisherman catch? A good sportsman will catch all the fish he can, and only take a few for eating purposes, as a good sportsman does not catch fish to eat, but purely for the joy of fishing. How should he dress when he goes angling? This answer depends entirely on the type of angling he wishes to do. For instance, if he wishes to cast shore lines of creeks, he should wear a light khaki shirt and trousers, a pair of hip boots, a felt hat. the ribbon of which may be used to attach lures. In fly fishing, he would wear practically the same attire. For lake fishing, the same costume could be used, substituting tennis shoes for boots. The preference, of course, lies entirely with the man himself, but as my suggestion, comfort should be paramount. 3. What kind of bait should be used? That depends entirely upon the type of fishing. Seeking different species of fish require different kinds of lures, such as plugs, spinners, and flys. When bait fishing, the best baits to be used in fresh water are minnows, crabs, and angle worms. L. H. RAY, Paramount Optical Company, 33 Monument Circle.

It is almost inconceivable that he should make four no trump, but it was done. The Bidding South and West passed. North bid one heart and Lochridge in the East overcalled with one no trump. South bid two hearts—a pretty weak overcall. West bid two spades. North bid three heart sand Lochridge went to three no trump. The Play The opening lead by South was a heart, which North won with the ace and immediately returned a heart. Lochridge winning with the queen. Lochridge then played a small club, winning in dummy with the queen and returning a small spade. North played the- nine, so Lochridge finessed the ten spot, which held the trick.

His next play was the queen of spades, and to his surprise North refused to win the trick, playing the jack. Lochridge then played the ten of clubs. overtaking in dummy with the king so as to create for himself another club entry. He then played a small spade from dummy, which forced Norths ace. North had accounted for all spades, hearts and clubs —his partner had supported hearts. What could he have supported on but diamonds? So, North played his king of diamonds. Lochridge played a small diamond and South, thinking that his partner had the diamond suit solid, overtook with the ace of diamonds, so as to unblock the suit, and Lochridge then spread his hand. North and South made only their three aces, and instead of going down' at least two tricks, Lochridge made four no trump. lCopyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.)

Bea Fashion Plate Times Fishing Editor—A lot of boloney every way you look at it. Personally, I think a fish would rather be caught by a dignified, well dressed man with collar and tie and well groomed hair, especially if the fish belong to the game fish tribe. Os course, some fish are like some people. They don’t care who catches them. But a real aristocrat of the finny tribe would be insulted to be caught on the lowly worm by an undignified man. Mr. Garner may have to go native to catch fish, but Mr. Hoover can cntch fish dressed as becomes the President of the United States. Make Mr. Garner Vice-President and he may think twice before handling a lowly worm. My personal experience has been that a fish of the game variety, when hungry, will strike artificial bait as quickly as live bait, and using artificial bait is much more sporting than to suffer a poor worm the torture of being strung on a hook. And think how a poor minnow feels, stuck through the back or tail, waiting for some fish to come along and get him. Bait fishing just will suit a lazy man who is content to wait for a fish to bite, but to an active man like Hoover artificial bait offers an escape from excess energy and a chance to match brains against luck. And it is all right to catch the limit, but if you cannot catch the limit why crab about someone with more skill and luck. I dare say if Mr. Garner could catch more fish than his party could eat he might give them to the unemployed. H. CHARLES TOMLIN, 836* South Biltmore avenue.

Leave Some for Others Times Fishing Editor—l really believe, to be a good sportsman, that a person should not catch more fish than he really needs, or his party needs. By doing this you will leave some for someone else. Any one who goes fishing enjoys the outing and fishing just as much if he catches enough only for the party as he would if he acted a hog and caught all there were in the stream. He always should go fishing dressed, comfortably and not be bound with tight, hot clothes. He should feel free and not be bothered with his office duties. It seems to me, if one goes fishing in his business clothes, that he more or less

WATSON WILL STAY IN STATE FOR CAMPAIGN Old Supporters Missing at G. 0. P. Get-Together at Winona Lake. BY BEN STERN The king bee of Indiana politic* comes home Tuesday, to remain in the state during the campaign. Senator James E. Watson made a flying visit into Hoosierland Friday, when he attended the Second district Republican rally at Winona Lake, but it was not a "home-com-ing,' as of yore. Republican politicians of the state gave him a a welcome, but it was not like old times, as the senator looked through the crowd and failed to perceive M. Bert Thurman. Plenty of small-time politicians were present, but none of the big shots. Thurman Is Absent Thurman was at home in Indianapolis nursing hurts received when Watson double-crossed him for the Governor nomination. Neither was Charles W. Jewett, former mayor of Indianapolis, present, remembering that in 1928 some one assured him that “Jim's going down the line for you for the Governor nomination.” Nor was present Arthur Gilliom, former attorney-general, who ! “friends of Watson” said in 1928 had a chance to cop the senatorial nomination from Arthur R. Robi inson. Lieutenant - Governor Edgar D. Bush, also was among the absent. Relying on the promise that Watson would not interfere in the convention this year. Bush went in to make his bid for Governor. He now' believes that John Owen of Noblesville, Watson's messenger boy, carried the word for Raymond S. Springer.

Others Also Missing Absent were the other Republican leaders whose political bones mark the toad trod by Watson through the many years he fought to return to Capitol hill. But among those who greeted the senator effusively were E. E. Neal, internal revenue collector, Robinson's man; Oliver Loomis, United States district attorney for northern Indiana, Robinson's man; Federal Judge Thomas Slick, Robinsons man; and a dozen or more others who swear fealty to the junior senator. Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher, was there, but even the most optimistic can not say that he is Watson's friend. Many recalled how, in 1928, Marshall wanted to be national committeeman, and Watson turned him down. Thomas May Be Manager Only one old-timer stood forth to greet Jim as a pal—Ernest B. Thomas of Rushville—who at Watson’s solicittion several weeks ago was appointed by President Hoover to the federal farm board. Thomas, for several manager of the federal farm loan board bank in Puerto Rico, turned down the new appointment because of illness in his family. Watson probably will announce soon that Thomas will manage his campaign.

STEAMERS DESTROYED Loss Is §600,000 as Flames Sweep Waterfront. By 1 n iled Press SACRAMENTO. Cal., Aug. 29.

For instance, there are thousands of poor little fish and by using live bait or worms it will give them all a little work to do. They all will nibble a little before you hook one. In doing this, the fisherman will get as much sport out of watching them work at the bait as he would if he caught them all. A fisherman s delight is to watch them bite. Put a few on your string and you won't feel ashamed and you'll bring some home every night. E. E. RICHARDSON, 1123 North Denny street.
