SEPT. 27,1932.

UP-TO-MINUTE FOLKS ALL ARE GOING WPY' Yup, It's the New King of the Little Fish in Glass Bowls. The town is going guppy. Brunets prefer brindles. A cat-loving man is the X, or unknown quantity in the pet world. And of these three new lines from the pet shops of Indianapolis the “guppy” part is the greatest. Just like charity of the faith-hope adage. Now in going guppy one becomes an addict of girardinus guppyi, or a lover of lebistes resticulatus, which means in the same breath guppy or rainbow fish. The guppies are in the big swim from a pet .standpoint. They and other tropical fish with nicknames like zebra and angel have sent the goldfish to a back seat in the apartment house aquarium. What’s the Difference? The advantage in rearing guppies, zebras and angels over your own steam pipes is that you may start with a pair on Thanksgiving day and wind up the next Labor day with fifty or sixty more fish in your pond. Then, too, the guppies thrive just as well on water that’s left the faucet six months ago as on fresh water. A guppy is a fresh water fish from Venezuela that can have a spanking stale time in one bowl for an entire year without being bothered by new hath water. Just to bring a last touch of happiness to homes that still believe in framed mottoes, pet shops are showing the Happy Family group of tropical fish. A bowl holding the Happy Family has in it guppies, zebras and angels and they all get along without recourse to rolling pin fins. Blonds Prefer Blacks The Scotty craze in dogs has given rise to the delight brunets take in brindles. A brindled Scotty, one dealer declares, has a better chance of leading home a darkhaired miss than a night-black dog of the same breed. “Blonds prefer blacks to go with their light locks,’’ he says. “While dogs are susceptible to style changes, cats go on forever . being Angoras, Persians, and-so-,’forth. Did I ever know a cat-lov--1 ing man? I should say not. Friend wife can hardly get them to bring ■.them to the store if something goes awry with their diet,” the dealer averred. Speaking of diets, if you have a k pair of drooping love birds that have quit their trills, then blame it on the vitamin that has vanished from their food. Birds depend on vitamins just like human beings. Town Is Going Guppy Then, too, a canary must have his manicure or he may get slow of foot and weak on speech. “Here comes a lady now with her canary. I’ll bet his toe nails are too long and she w’ants them snipped,” vouches the pet store owner. He was right and as he clipped he called us a good-bye with: “And tell them our business is better than ever. I’ve got two more clerks than I had last year. People are staying at home just enough to think about their pets and to see to it that are fed properly. Anyway, I’ve been able to buy a new cash register.” So the town must be going guppy. STOP TO WATCH CAT KILL MICE; ROBBED Contribute $6 to Collection Taken Up by Bandit Tair. It’ll be a long time before Robert Moore, 19 North Irvington avenue, and R. R. Boner, 1302 Congress avenue, stop again to watch a cat kill mice. The two had the misfortune to be In the back room of the A. & P. grocery at 2965 Sherman drive today when two unmasked bandits played a return engagement. One bandit, who was armed, said to Fred Stall, 4704 East Thirtieth street, “You know who I am." Stall admitted he did and yielded $5.29 from the cash register. The bandit was the same one who robbed the grocery six weeks ago alone. The bandit pair then forced Robert Walsberry, 1817 Broadway, to give up $2.83 from the meat market cash register and herded both employes into the rear room, where they found Moore and Boner watching the cat. Moore's contribution was $5. SUPPORT PEDDLER LAW Retail Gn to Aid Wholesale Firms in License Enactment. Declaring that the unlicensed peddler presents a serious problem to legitimate merchants, the Indianapolis Retail Meat and Grocers’ Association will co-oprate with wholesale firms in supporting enactment of a peddler's license law, it was decided at a meeting held Monday night at 927 North Meridian street.

Fiancee Settles Latta Death Suit for SB,OOO

, £ ' •' "V • ■'

Hy Times Special LEBANON, Ind., Sept. 27.—A love affair that ended in jleath was erased from the Boone circuit court docket today w’hen Miss Margaret Sanders, fiancee of the late Will H. Latta, Indianapolis attorney, agreed to accept SB,OOO as beneficiary of a $20,000 life insurance policy held by Latta.

Latta was killed on June 12, 1929, when he drove his motor car into a train near Carmel, Ind. The insurance policy, naming Miss Sanders, Ft. Wayne music teacher, as beneficiary was taken out six days before his death. Payment was contested in the courts of Marion and Hendricks counties by the United States Casualty Company. Removed from Marion to Hendricks county on a change of venue, the suit for payment resulted in a full verdict for Miss Sanders in November, 1930. The court, however, set the verdict aside, and anew trial was ordered in Boone county. Monday, attorneys for the insurance company and Miss Sanders, notified Boone court officials that the suit had been compromised as the second trial was to begin. Throughout the trial in Hendricks county attorneys for the company attempted to show that Latta drove his car on to the railroad track, stalled it purposely, and then awaited death. In turn attorneys for Miss Sanders combated this with evidence to the effect that Latta’s car might have been stalled accidentally. Letters written by Latta to Miss Sanders, telling of his devotion for her, were introduced in court evidence. Miss Sanders testified of their happy meetings in Indianapolis and of his plans for their honeymoon. Many prominent utility attorneys and officials testified for Miss Sanders in an effort to blot out the suicide charge of the insurance company. Desire of Miss Sanders to shun a second recital of their love that ended in a tragedy from the witness stand was believed by court attaches here to be the reason for the settlement. Frank C. Daily, Indianapolis attorney, was the chief counsel for Miss Sanders. Albert Ward, former United States district attorney, was counsel for the insurance company. The compromise of the Latta suit was vouched for today by Frank C. Dailey, attorney. He said he was unaware of the details of the settlement in Lebanon, but he knew that his client had effected an agreement with the insurance company. Dailey has been ill at his home. HOME LOAN SEEKS TO BLOCK FORECLOSURES Aid Offered Owners Before Official Bank Opening Oct. 15. Use of the “good offices” of the federal home loan bank to forestall threatened mortgage foreclosures before the bank's official opening, Oct. 15, was offered home owners in a statement issued today. In cases where the foreclosure will be made before the home loan bank begins functioning, it is suggested in the statement that the owner ask for an extension of time “If it is refused he should write to the federal home loan bank board, stating all the facts,” it is announced. “The board then will use its good offices with the mortgagee to obtain relief, if in its opinion benefit can be given under the law.” Delay Municipal Gardens Play “O Joy San,’ Japanese comedy play, which was to be presented Wednesday at the Municipal Gardens community house, has been postponed until Oct. 5 because of repairs to be made in the stage.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GANDHI IS HELD ONLY BRAKE ON REVOLTjN INDIA ‘Lucky Break’ for England Mahatma Didn’t Die, Says Ex-Bombay Mayor. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foretrn Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—Predicting freedom from British rule in India within the next ten years, V. T. Patel, former lord mayor of Bombay and president of the Indian legislative assembly, today said that it was a lucky break for Britain that Mahatma Gandhi broke his fast. "There would have been revolution in India had Mahatama Gandhi died,” Patel said. “Gandhi represents non-violence. He is all that stands between the Indian people and revolt. Without him the life of no Englishman in the country would be safe. “His victory will strengthen the cause of non-violence, just as his death would have weakened it. "Nevertheless,” the leader of the Indian nationalists added, "Gandhi has won a signal victory for India, and struck another telling blow at British rule. “He has prevented the British from driving another wedge between the Hindu castes, a game she has played in India for many decades. “Her policy of “divide and rule” has received a decided, perhaps fatal, setback.” The former mayor of Bombay arrived in this country Friday. His first act was to come to Washington to pay his respects to the memory of George Washington, the "inspiration,” he said of India’s “struggle for liberty and independence.” Four different men once held the office of Governor of Georgia within a single year.

Site of Home Loan Bank Here Soon to Be Chosen

Selection to Be Made Early Next Week, Asserts Local Director. Quarters for the federal home loan bank to be established in Indianapolis probably will be chosen early next week, it was stated today by Fermor S. Cannon, president of the Railroad Men’s Building and Savings Association, who Monday was appointed one of the eleven directors of the bank. Conceding that the building of some closed bank would be chosen, Cannon refused to comment further. He explained that directors would meet to choose quarters and make other plans on call of an organizing officer, who will be appointed by the federal home loan board in Washington. This appointment is expected within a few days. The board will not be permitted to buy quarters for a bank. A lease for a period of ten years is stipulated. Cannon pointed out that the home loan bank will have no contact with individuals. It will deal only with building and loan associations, banks and insurance companies. Loans will be made on mortgages considered sound, enabling the associations and other specified borrowers to carry with greater ease loans supported by mortgages which are not classed as of the best. Borrowing will be on a long term basis, no loans to be made on mortgages with less than eight years to run. In addition to Cannon, Indiana men appointed directors by the board in Washington are Mark L. Dickover, Valparaiso; F. M. Boone, South Bend; Arthur F. Hall, FT. Wayne, and Myron H. Gray, Muncie.

SMOOT DERIDES UTAH POLITICAL REVOIJREPORT 70-Year-old High Tariff Apostle Says He and Hoover Will Win. BY WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Seventy-year-old Reed Smoot, dean of the senate and apostle of high tariffs, was on his way back to Utah today after telling Washington that there w’as little doubt that he and President Herbert, Hoover' would carry the Mormon 'state in November. Ridiculing reports that Utah was in rebellion, and threatening a leap into the Democratic column, the veteran protectionist said his state "safely was Republican.” Smiling at reports of a “youth protest movement” forming around his opponent. Professor Elbert D. Thomas, Democratic nominee, Smoot said: “That is nothing but talk built around the young Democrats club at Utah university. There, likewise, is a young Republican club at the university.” Despite Smoot’s show of'optimism, political analysts visiting Utah are sending back reports that the venerable senator faces a real battle for his political life. The powerful Mormon church, upon which Smoot has relied in the past for support, probably will maintain a hands-off policy in this election, since Thomas, likewise, is a Mormon. Thomas is reported to be making a dramatic campaign, having behind him 10,000 young men and women, former students, crusading with unorthodox zeal for the 49-year-old professor, nominated #/ the Democrats after a ringing demand for a “new deal’” from the

lips of a 22-year-old college graduate orator. Utah is giving force to Thomas* contention, that Smoot’s high tariffs have not brought security to American labor. When the senator’s friends picture him as a "man of duty,” Democrats report that he Is “a man of duties.” It has reached a stage where they are ridiculing the tall, thin, solemn sage, and all that he stands for. Railroad Restaurant Looted Loot of approximately sl2 was stolen Monday night from the Employes’ restaurant in the Hawthorne yards of the Pennsylvania railroad.
