EVANSVILLE GET REDUCTION OF ELECTRIC RATES Emergency Order Based on Findings in City’s Water Case. First emergency rate reduction, based on the federal district court findings in the Indianapolis Water Company case, was spread on public service commission records today. •In an order written by Commissioners Howell Ellis and Ralph Young a 10 per cent emergency reduction was granted Evansville users of electric power from the Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company. Neither street railway fares of the company nor gas rates were reduced. The electric rate reduction will become effective Nov. 1, for a sixmonth period, to April 30, 1933, under provision of the order which was approved by all commissioners at their conference Friday afternoon. A valuation of $10,564,342 was found for the electric property in Evansville and the 10 per cent reduction will yield a 6 per cent return, it was said. The Indianapolis decision was cited showing that 6 per cent is sufficient at the present time. -Audit and appraisal of company properties will proceed for final hearing next April. The order cited threats of federal court appeal made by company aU torneys and set out that the coms" mission will not be deterred from reducing rates by such threats. SELL PIGS!

TWO MORE TAX APPEALS FILED Protest Levy Rate Set by County Board. County Auditor Charles A. Grossart today was to certify to the state tax board two more appeals from levies of the county tax adjustment board. He announced this is the last day for filing appeals with his office.

Nickel Buys Ticket in Football Pool Racket

Unused Baseball Ducats Are Used; Chance to Win Small; The boys around town now have anew one to separate the football fan from his money and dispose of unused baseball pool tickets. For 5 cents, the fan has the privilege of buying a ticket that gives him a small—very small—chance to win the capital prize of sl2. But to win that prize each of the three teams he holds must carry the highest scores. That may happen now and then. The “book” on the new racket carries the names of sixteen teams in the midwest and east. Starting with number 101 the list jumps to 116. At the most, the book is open to sixteen games. However, on Saturdays some teams may oppose others on the "book.” Teams listed are Chicago, lowa. Ohio, Illinois, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Army, Princeton, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, Navy, Harvard, Minnesota, Michigan and Yale. The tickets had a heavy sale on downtown streets, buildings and poolrooms this week. Outside of the three team numbers on the ticket, no other part of the baseball pool ducat means anything to the purchaser. The seller tells his customer what teams the three numbers represent. Experts in the baseball pool racket claim the chances of winning anything as a football scheme are so slight that practically every nickel will be clear profit to the promoter.

As Gail Patrick

There were more screen tests and suddenly Miss Fitzpatrick* was offered, and accepted, a seven-year contract. Her ambition to be a lawyer has been sidetracked for seven years, she says. Hollywood's beauty experts went to work. Eyebrow pluckers, hairdressers, teachers of posture did their stuff. Even her name was operated on—so it might some day fit, in lights. The results is Gail Patrick, who, as you'll notice at the right, now has the accepted movie posture, whose smile now isn't quite so wide, whose clothes are the last word. And Hollywood proclaims her ‘“a new find.”
