INVENTION IS DEFENDED AS INDUSTRY HOPE New Discoveries to Spur Trade, End Depression, View of Leaders. BY MARION F. COLLINS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Jan. 10.—New inventions and new discoveries to quicken industry is the way out of the depression. This was the massed answer of American industry today to the threats against the present economic st.ucture of technocracy, which holds that invention and scientific discovery has stultified progress. Alfred P. Hoan Jr., president of General Motors, sent telegrams to 150 industrial and business leaders, asking lor comment on this premise: Large corporations should not allow deprcos'on to retard scientific advance; new inventions and discoveries represent adherence to the ideal of progress. Replies supported the premise. Variety Increases Wealth Among the 150 were Winthrop W. Aldrich, president Chase National bank; James R. Angell, president Yale university; Hernand Behn. president International Telcphon.and Telegraph Company; Senator Arthur Capper. Kansas; Newcomb Carlton, president Western Union Telegraph Company; Edward A. Filene, president of William P'ilene’s Sons Company; Harvey S. Firestone Jr.; J. G. Harbord. chairman of the board. R. C. A : William H. Hays, president, Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America; Cornelius F. Kelley, president Anaconda Copper Mining Company; David Sarnoff, president R. C. A.; Silas H. Strawn, president United States Chamber of Commerce; W C. Teagle. president. Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, Alfred E. Smith; Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior. "The increase in the wealth of the world comes not only from volume, but with improvement and variety in the things that people want," Paul Slioup, president of the Southern Pacific, replied. Back Log of Demand "We know that the demand for! food and raiment is just as great | today as it was in the summer of 1929," Smith said. "Everything we | use has been wearing out, and there is piling up a back log of demand that must soon burst its bounds.” D. B. Patterson, president of National Cash Register Company, said technological advancement of the past year "shows that the industrial progress of our country, w'hile to outward appearance is slowing up, in times such as these really is moving on, largely as a result of the increasing work of research and engineering bodies." "American business is building substantially for the future,” said General Harbord. "Corporations act wisely, who j recognize their obligations to ir.- j dustry and society by stimulating unremittingly their search for invention and discovery,” Dean Charles Derleth Jr., college of engineering, University of California, said. KIDNAPING STORY OF COLLECTOR IS PROBED Robbed of 877.84 and Auto by Three Aimed Men, Is Charge. Police today were investigating the purported kidnaping of Albert Sullivan, 39, of 306 South Rural street, collector for a life insurance company early Monday night that he had been robbed of $77.84 ana his automobile. Contents of a half pint of liquor were forced down his throat by three armed men who entered his car on Pleasant Run parkway between Shelby and Raymond streets, Sullivan told police. He was blindfolded and taken for a drive, during which the robbery and forced drink took place, he said. He was ejected from his own automobile at the rear of the city garbage reduction plant. He staggered to the Olive Branch Christian church at Pennsylvania and Raymond streets, where Mr.; and Mrs. John Gerdt, 2216 South Delaware street, called police. NEW STORE LEASED BY ABELS-FINK CO. Used Car Firm Reports Business Increase Causes Expansion. Klein Sc Kuhn report the signing of a lease with the Abels-Fink Auto Company for spacious quarters at 440 North Capitol avenue. Sam Abels and Ralph Fink, copartners of 'he business, report they will maintain the former store at 535 North Capitol avenue, with L. Cully in charge. Both members of this firm have a wide acquaintance with the automotive trade and consolidated their businesses a few years ago. Increased patronage now has caused expansion. Abels & Fink state that sound values in used cars will be their policy in their new quarters and invite their patrons and the public to visit their modern establishment, one of the largest used car stores in the city.

Coolidge Death Displays Price Paid by Presidents Nobody Took Office Responsibilities More Easily, but Four Years After Quitting', He Is Gone. By Scrippv-Howaril X< tapaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.—Calvin Coolidge's death emphasizes once again the toll the presidency makes its possessor pay. Nobody took White House responsibilities more easily than the philosophic Vermonter. He knew the secret of delegating authority. Once, when beaming Jim Davis bounced in with the idea of discussing a department of labor problem, Mr. Coolidge said rather sharply: "That's your job. When you've found the answer, you come to me—not before." He guarded his health rigidly. He took a nap at the White House after lunch each day, and often he snoozed in his executive office, his feet on the mahogany desk, his coat and vest neatly piled on a nearby chair.

He took regular walks, and always wore his rubbers if the skies were threatening. And he made his Secret Service attendants wear theirs, too. When he left the White House for the last time as President, he was chiefly concerned about "that pair of rubbers. Grace.” As his train drew out of the capital after inauguration of Mr. Hoover, his only comment was: “A lot of people got wet today." He had charge of the nation's affairs during a period of plenty and apparent prosperity. There were no wars or serious domestic difficulties to furrow his brow or bother his digestion of wheat cakes and sausage. Even if there had been, his was a temperament that took everything in its stride. Yet, four years after crossing the White House threshold outwardbound, he died —alone. Other signs indicate that the burden of the presidency must be lightened in some way. There are six presidential widows living, and no cx-Presidents. It is estimated that nine years of life expectancy are taken from every chief executive. Pictures of presidents before and after taking office show how the White House marks a man. Mr. Coolidge had other things in his favor. There is a fairly well substantiated theory that the presidency bears down most heavily on fun-loving, red-blooded men. and less onerously on serious, studious individuals. The former miss the comaraderie and cocktails of private life; the latSTATE JOBS TO CANADA Aurora (Ind.) Products (o Be Made in Dominion Factories. By Tima Special TORONTO.

ter yearn not for such trivialities, or they find compensation in the grind and the glory. Warren Harding suffered from the presidential confinement more than any recent President. After he had been in office only a few months, his old senate companion, Representa-tive-Elect James W. Wadsworth Jr., of New York, called on him. Upon leaving, "Jim” said; "Well, Warren, how does it feel to be President?” “Jim," said the chief executive, putting his arm around his friend’s shoulder in a pathetic embrace, “it's a prison. If I had known what it was going to be like, I'd never have taken it.” But they all seem to want it.

FLU EPIDEMICS CALL FOR PRECAUTIONS! A Few Simple Rules that Will Put a Person on the Side of Safety!

While it does not pay to become alarmed over Flu, it does not pay either to be careless. Many a case of Flu could have been avoided with a few simple precautions. Here are a few rules which may be wisely followed: Stay out of crowded, stuffy and smoky places. Stay in the sunshine as much as you can. Avoid coughers and sneezers. Dress warmly, keep your feet dry, sleep in a well-ventilated room. Drink lots of water. Eat plentifully of citrus fruits and their juices. Watch out for colds. The socalled "common cold" often paves the way for flu. At the first sign of a cold, do something about it! One of the best things you can do is to take Groves Laxative Bromo Quinine immediately. These tablets are effective because they do four important things. They open the

WORLD DRIVE TO CUT HOURS OF WORK OPENS Geneva Report Says That at Least 30 Millions Are Jobless. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Estimating that there are at least 30,000,000 unemployed in twenty principals nations of the world, and that the loss in wages amounts to $26,000,000,000 a year, the official report of the international labor office at Geneva today recommended rastically shorter hours of work. The report was made to the preparatory conference which met today to consider the agenda for the world labor conference which opens May 31, under auspices of the League of Nations. All the leading powers, except the i United States? are represented, it was said here, but United States Consul Prentiss Gilbert, assigned to Geneva, will look on from the sidelines. Proposed hv Italians This is the first attempt on a literally w'orld-wide scale to relieve unemployment by cutting down the hours of work. It was proposed by the Italian government. # The report blames the continual decline of commodity prices throughout the world on unemployment. To turn the tide of the w'orld de- | pression, therefore, jobs must be i found for these idle millions, thus | increasing the world’s purchasing ! power and the world's demand for i commodities. Four methods of reducing the hours of labor are suggested. Where the work continues around j the clock, four six-hour shifts are j suggested. 40-Hour Week Urged For discontinuous work performed by two shifts, the present hours should be reduced and a third shift added as soon as production increases. For discontinuous work performed by only one shift, there might be reduction of the number of days per week, hours per day or the inI troduction of a rotation system to I take care of additional workers. For general purposes the adoption of holidays with pay is sug- | gested with additional staff engaged to replace the workers on holidays. The proposal is to base an inter- | national convention on the hours j of labor on a forty-hour week maxj imum where the work is not necesI sarily continuous, and a forty-two- ! hour week where it is. MRS. EFFIE HANKINS IS CLAIMED BY DEATH Resident of City for Forty Years Will Be Buried Wednesday. Following a brief illness, Mrs. Effie Hankins, 62, of 5305 Washington boulevard, a resident of Indfanapolis for the last forty years, died Monday in the Methodist hospital. Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 Wednesday. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery.

bowels, combat the infection in the system, relieve the fever and headache and tone the entire system. Better still take Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine as a preventative of colds! A cold is easier avoided than cured. A cold anticipated is a cold thwarted. Asa precautionary measure do what thousands are doing—watch your living habits and take one or two Bromo Quinine tablets every morning and night. That will keep your bowels open and combat germ attacks. All drug stores sell Grove's Laxative Bromo Qunine. For more than forty years it has been the standard cold and grippe tablet, the formula keeping pace with Modern Medicine. Now two sizes—3oc and 50c.
