MARINES ARE HOME. JUNGLE ‘WAR' AT END 350 Lean, Blackened Men Arrive in U. S. From Nicaragua. BY HARRY FERGUSON I nitcd Press Staff f orrrspondent QUANTICO, Va . Jan. 16.-Back homo have come 350 of America's soldiers of the sea, who for six years have carried the Stars and S f ripes through the heat and death of the Nicaraguan jungle. As the bulky transport Henderson, its decks alive with the olive drab of the marines, bumped against Vthe wharf Sunday an end was written to one of the stormiest periods in American foreign relations. Behind lay 135 marines, killed in the attempt of the United States to bring order to the troubled little nation. Behind, too, was that will-o-the-wisp, Augustino Sandino, an everlasting rebel whom marines pursued from Jinotega to the Costa Rican border only to leave him at the end, free and triumphant somewhere in the hills above Managua. I'lanes Dip in Salute It was a home-coming of heroes. Bands blared “Home, Sweet Heme.” ‘‘Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here,” and the martial strains of the marines own marching son, “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli.” Fifteen planes dipped their wings in salute. On the dock a small group of women and children—wives and families of the home-coming bandwhitened the air with waving handkerchiefs as the Henderson, caught by the tide, swung into the wharf, after an hour and half of maneuvering. A gangplank clanged against the dock and ofT strode a line of men, lean and blackened by a southern sun. There were hasty embraces as the women and children found familiar faces. First Sergeant Clyde Darrah leaned against his rifle and surveyed his homeland after four years on alien soil.

Shrug OfT Questions “There’s not much to tell,” he said. “They sent us down there to do a job and we did the best we could. No, we didn’t catch Sandino, but that’s a pretty hard job. Sure, we’re all glad to be home. Who wouldn't be?" Other marines shrugged off questions about the slender little brown man, Sandino, one of the great guerilla warriors of the world. Since 1927 American marines had traced Sandino only to walk into cunning ambushes and expose themselves to sudden sorties in the dead of night. He fought with bullets and words in the attempt to drive "the American invader from the soil of the fatherland." On his seal, there is depicted a Nicaraguan cutting off the head of a marine and underneath the words: “Patria et libertad”—“Country and Freedom." Fare 30-Day Furlough Now his opponents will be an American-trained native national guard. Today they patrol the dusty streets of Managua under the direction of President Juan B. Sacasa, Who took office recently with President Hoover’s “warmest good wishes for a very successful administration." In 1926 American marines first landed in Nicaragua to protect life and property, alleged to have been endangered by a civil war between liberals and conservatives. A thirty-day furlough awaits each of the marines. After that they will be distributed to posts in all sections of the country. Copped in Act Officer Knows Now How ' It Feels to Be on ‘Wrong End.’ FOR several seconds which "seemed like years" Sunday, radio patrolman Harry O’Mara lived the life of a law-breaker and learned how it feels to gaze at a policeman's sawed-off shotgun from the wrong end. O’Mara was forced to the curb at. Louisiana and Georgia streets by radio patrolmen Robert Murnan and Ervin Barker when they found him driving a taxicab reproted stolen. After his recognition. O'Mara - explained that he was taking the cab to police headquarters after its recovery by the squad of Sergeant Arthur Hueber. of which he is a member. The cab was stolen from Bert Whistler, 2259 Union street. HEAD INJURY IS FATAL Jobless Garage Mechanic Dies at Hospital of Fractured Skull. Dorman Wilson. 30. unemployed garage mechanic, died Sunday in the icty hospital of a fractured skull incurred a week ago when he stumbled and fell against a stove in his home at 634 Washington avenue.

Lottery Charge Is Faced Thomas Albright, proprietor of a noolroom at 127’-_- West Market Street, faces a charge of operating a lottery after police raided his place of business Saturday, claiming they confiscated nine baseball pool books.

Lobby Holiday Session Is Remarkably Free of Usual ‘High * Pressure’ Boys. WHERE are the legislative lobbyists of yesteryear? So far during the session of the seventy-eighth general assembly the statehouse has been singularly free from the usual crowds composing the “Third House” of the Indiana legislature. Many reasons are being advanced for the decreased membership of the lobby. Some say that the opinion is out over the state that Governor Paul V. McNutt and his forces have such complete control over both the senate and house that only measures favored by the administration have any chance of becoming laws. Hence a lobby is needless. Others say that the lack so far of the usual “shakedown bills” is the main reason there has been no gathering of the lobby clan. And still others blame the situation on the depression. Lobbyists, it is pointed out, never do a credit business, and ready cash is a bit scarce this year even with the corporations making up “big business.” Some signs of an increase in the membership of the “Third House” are becoming apparent, however, with the introduction of certain measures in which the administration has no particular interest. JOBLESS LANDLORD KILLS ROOMER, SELF Deprived of Only Income, Hoosier Opens Fire. fill T'nitcif Prraa GARY, Ind., Jan. 16.—Deprived of his last source of income, Paul Wapienik, unemployed laborer, shot to death a roomer who was about to move from Wapienik’s home and then killed himself. John E. Ressel, the roomer, was in debt to Wapienik for rent and was about to move to Corridon, Mo., to join his children. Fred Arts, a neighbor, was wounded in the affray which followed an argument between the roomer and landlord.

S2OO in Cash Is Offered ‘Cynara’ Contest Winners

Should a Wife Forgive Her Mate for Infidelity? You Answer. Does the animal instinct in man and woman prove what scientists vainly have tried to prove for centuries—that human beings are only the descendants of apes and of lower forms of animal life? Why is it that man—civilized, cultured—married happily, suddenly turns away from the straight and narrow to another woman? Is it something that he can not help? Is the animal instinct still so strongly in his soul that the mere call of a woman other than his wife is a challenge to the dormant beast sbul within him which calls for more than one mate? Is this also true of the woman? Should indiscretions be forgiven by both sexes? Should a husband forgive a wife’s infidelities? Should a wife forgive the philanderings of her husband? Infidelity is the question which Kay Francis and Ronald Colman are called upon to face in "Cynara,” current attraction at Loew's Palace theater.

Century Mark Is Near; Shaved Once Since 1855

Charles M. Semones Ready for Observing of 100th Birthday. ‘‘Guess I'll make it.” That declaration might be made by someone trying to catch a train or passing a college quiz but when Charles M. Semones, 99. says it today at his home, 548 Exeter avenue, he means that he believes he'll celebrate his 100th birthday or Feb. 16. And. in going after a candle record for birthday cakes. Semones also can point with pride to his long whiskers and boast that he's only shaved once since 1855. Instead of taking the years in their stride. Semones takes the days j and the months as they cc;me. He's No Teetotaler With the use of a cane he hobbles j around the home of his son, Charles j Jr., with as much activity as is pos- ; sible with his weakened eyesight. “He gets up whenever he wants to and goes to bed at his own time,” the son says. Semones has been a member of the Odd Fellow lodge for fifty years. Unlike many century-mark men and women he doesn't attribute his longevity to being a “teetotaler.” He drank the proverbial "three fingers” when they didn’t grab vou by the throat, and try to garrote you. He's used nicotine since boyhood, and still finds his pipe his best companion. Hasn't Had Doctor in Years Semones was born in Franklin county, Kentucky. He has four sons of the same stalwart stock, and one is 76 and bids fair to equal his dad in chalking up the birthdays. Semones hasn't had a doctor in years. He scorns birthday cakes and says no one could find enough candles to put on his cake this February, if they tried. As for shaving on his 100th birthday as a present to himself, he says: “Nothing doing.”

One Cent a Day Brings SIOO a Month Over One-half Million Dollars Already Paid in Cash Benefits. One cent a day <53.65 per year), invested in a National Protective Policy, will now buy more insurance benefits than can be secured from any other Company for any amount up to $lO per year.
