If if f'nifrd Press GENEVA, Jan. 21.—Agitation to get the Philippine islands membership in the League of Nations following independence was revealed here today. The move w r as described as “unofficial,” but the United States learned that responsible officials already have started negotiations with both the Philippine government and the United States. Members of the league pointed out that entry of the islands into the organization would provide the United States with the necessary safeguard on maintenance of their territorial integrity when complete liberation is effected. Officials were uncertain at present whether membership could be voted the Philippines before the ten-year period elapses, but it was emphasized that America would be freed of considerable anxiety if the islands were protected under the league covenant. Certain prominent Filipinos and members of congress already have approached the league regarding the proposed membership, it was learned. It was asserted that if the United States fear Japan’s intentions in the Philippines, the best solution would be for the islands to have membership in the league.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years, and calomel's oldtime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative, safe and pleasant. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown mouth"— bad breath —a dull, tired feeling—sick headache torpid liver constipation, you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c. 60c. — Advertisement.

BILLS DRAFTED TO SHEAR MAYR OF HISPOWERS Criminal Bureau, Police and Auto Licenses May Be Under New Rule. With the house of representatives recessed until 11 Monday morning, and the senate until 2 Monday afternoon, administration leaders were conferring today on provisions of several bills yet to be introduced which will carry out features of Governor Paul V. McNutt's program. Chief among these are ripper bills which will steal' from Secretary of State Frank Map Jr., the patronage he now enjoys and leave the Governor’s political enemy little more than his office. Administration plans call for removal of automobile license plate control, state police, and criminal bureau from Mayr's jurisdiction. Other administration projects scheduled for early submission to the assembly are tax board reorganization, old age pension, and an intangibles tax measure. Appropriation Bill Held Up One of the most important measures, the biennial appropriation bill, probably will be held up until early in February because of the scheduled revamping of state departments. Since the bill apportions funds to state departments and institutions for the next two years, it naturally must await realignment of these departments. Tribute to efficiency of the administration leadership is seen in the decreased volume of bills submitted. So far, only 252 bills have been submitted, where last session at this time, there were 293. Strict safety regulations for school busses received the approval of a senate committee Friday, when a bill introduced by Senator Russell P. Kehoe (Dem., Jeffersonville), Senator John C. Sherwood (Rep.. Mitchell), and Senator Claude R. Wickard (Dem., Camden), was reported for passage. The bill specifies lights and signs to be used as part of bus equipment, together with heavy penalities for carelessness on part of the driver or motorist meeting busses on highways. Highway Bills to Die Two mandatory bills requiring county officials to construct highways connecting county seats with railroads, and county farms with market highways were approved for immediate repeal. Law under which the bridge across the Ohio river at Evansville was built also was recommended for repeal, the work having been completed. Stricter laws governing sale and use of narcotics in Indiana will be asked in a bill to be introduced early next week by Senator Fred A. Egan (Dem., Gary), who explains that his measure will revise state law's in conformity with law's of the United States, thus giving greater aid to federal narcotic officers operating in Indiana. Carrying retrenchment into the state’s institutions, Senator William D. Hardy (Dem., Evansville), is preparing a bill to limit officials of hospitals for the insane from spending more than $35 for purchase of clothing for inmates, instead of SSO, as at present. In the Air Weather condition at 9 a. m.: Southeast wind, 5 miles an hour; temperature, 46; barometric pr 'ssure, 29.85 at sea level; general condition, overcast, light rain, moderate fog; ceiling, estimated 1,500 feet; visibility, U mile; field good.

Promise Carried to Grave, but ‘Bill’ Gets His Job

I?' jSrgsß.-

“Bill," 20-year-old cadet at the Indiana Boys’ school, Plainfield, who gets his chance Monday to demon strate to the world how he can beat back.

Boys’ School Cadet Going to Work Where He Made a Friend. A promise that was carried to the grave was made good today and, because of it, a youth at the Indiana boys' senool, Pla.nheid, will receive his freedom. For “Bill,” the 20-year-old cadet who has been kept at the school because the depression prevented him from taking a job on parole, has got his job. “Bill” goes to work Monday foi an Indianapolis packing plant. The employment of “Bill” means that a homeless boy, w’ithout friends won’t be forced to remain in a state institution until he's 21, because oi the jobless era. No Soup-Line Trail It means that “Bill” won’t have to follow the soup-line trail with its side avenue of flophouses at night. Last week in The Indianapolis Times the story of “Bill w r as told. His one hundred months of good conduct meant naught because nobody could employ him. But only a few months ago an Indianapolis man, superintendent of a company, promised ‘'Bill” a job. "Bill” went back to the school from his job-hunting expedition smiling and confident he'd show' the world what he was made of. Takes it Like a Man The next morning. O. W. Negus, superintendent of the school, called “Bill” before him. “Bill, you can’t go out on parole,” Negus said. “Bill” took it standing, like a man. “Okay! Mr. Negus,” he answered without questioning w'hy. “It’s this way, Bill. The man that promised you a job died last night,” j the superintendent explained. “I’m sorry, he was a fine fellow,”; Bill replied. And “Bill” went back to his work, in the school’s shoe shop. Then the plant where “Bill” was to have been hired read The Times story and of the chance “Bill” had lost. They liked that boss who made “Bill” a promise, and Monday they’re keeping that promise by putting “Bill” to work. It is said that in the year 1249 fruit trees were forced and for the first time made to mature fruit in midwinter, in the Netherlands.

CO-OPERATION . . . . SINCE 1874 CO-OPERATION made possible the incorporation of the Association in 1874. This same spirit has continued throughout all these years with the result that the Association has grown to an institution with assets of over 13 million. The Officers and Directors recognize and fully appreciate the value of this co-operation. They feel that it has been, to a large degree, responsible for the regular earnings which have made possible the fact that dividends have been declared semi-annually every year since 1874.

30ILDING TS ASKED TO TAKE CUT IN WAGES Contractors. Unions Are Negotiating on New Scales. BY I.OWEI.L NUSSBAI’M General slash in building trades unions’ wage scales may result within the next few weeks from negotiations now being conducted between contractors and the various crafts, it was learned today. The negotiations are being rushed in order to obtain a final decision as soon as possible in the hope of stimulating construction work here during the building season, v hicn will open shortly. It was understood decision on whether or not a large downtown building will be constructed this year hinges on whether or not the crafts grant a scale reduction within the next week or so, in order to permit immediate start on the building so it may be completed and ready for use by fall Contractors are seeking the reduction with the argument that the union scale s too high in comparison with the price paid unorganized skilled labor. Leaders of the building trades crafts are doubtful that a cut in the scale would have much effect in stimulating building. The last general cut, averaging about 20 per cent, was approved a year ago, when contractors and architects are reported to have told the crafts ’t would result in five large structures being built, none of which have started yet. This was the first general cut below peak prices. The steamfitters’, plumbers’ and engineers’ unions, it is understood, ! tentatively are agreed on reduction of the scale from sl.32an hour i lo $1.12'-, with $1 an hour possible. Painters and electricians, now receiving from $1 to $1.05, are under- | stood to favor a reduction to 80 and j 85 cents.
