Women of City Turn to Sewing Economy, Entertainment, Clothes I individuality Are Provided. The needle and the tlumble have become woman's economic and artistic weapon. They have become her safeguard against ennui and her e tape from uniformity. The manager of the pattern department of L. S. Ayres te Cos. reports that women have returned to the homely task of sewing not merely to save pennies, but because they desire individuality and something to do with their time. With the recreation budget curtailed, there is more time spent in the home. The resourceful woman finds it advantageous to resort to sewing a.s an entertainment measure. Ilome-Making for Style Since dress manufacturers in lowering prices have turned out dozens of identical dresses, women have turned to the home-made dress for individuality. Nothing is more unnerving to women than to see themselves duplicated on every corner. With yard goods at half the price of former years, better materials are obtained at less cost than the readymade styles. In turning to the pattern department, women may combine their ideas and innovations and achieve a style completely their own, or they may copy the Parisian or Hollywood fashion decrees. They are enabled to fashion dresses of the colors and materials, which suit the particular occasion for which the garment is needed. Advice Given Beginners The variety of cotton materials, being marketed now, are easy to fashion and unbelievably cheap. However, women aren't merely making the simpler things. They constantly are choosing suit and coat patterns, which are fashioned in heavy wools. For the beginners’ advice is given by the clerks The departments oven offer seamstress service for those who wish to select their materials and styles. The fashioning of children’s dresses and of lingerie is enjoyed by women who prefer the daintier tasks of sewing.

INDIANA BANK TROUBLES DATE BACK TO 1819 First Permanent Financial Institutions Then Forced On Suspended Payments. BV L. L. DICKERSON ( itv Librarian Bank difficulties in Indiana date back to 1319, when the first two permanent institutions in the state were forced to establish a suspended payment system, following withdrawal of all government funds in the banks. The two banks, one at Vincennes and the other at Madison, first were opened in 1314 and, during the 1816 J session of the state legislature, a bill | was passed that Indiana only should | have one banking system. This was to be known as the Indiana state bank and a branch was to be set up in each of the fourteen districts of , the state. The Vincennes bank was selected : ns the chief institution of this or•mrization and the Madison bank was to be one of the branches. Depositors in Madison bank, however, refused to accede to this plan and it remained an independent unit. Struggles Began Early The fourteen branches opened on April 19. 1817, and deposits in the Vincennes bank were raised from $500,000 to $1,500,000 by the government. The state was to control the bank and a deposit of $375,000 was to be made by the Governor. In the fall of 1818 the United States banking system refused to honor any notes of banks in the northwest and all banks in that .district bream" insolvent. Indiana’s 1 banks alone failed to close their doors, adopting a suspended payment plan. In 1821 the government came to the rescue of the Indiana state bank and deposited large sums of money. The bank, however, was unable to meet the stipulations of a contract drawn at the time, and. after making two payments to the government of $40,000 and $20,000, scraped $30,000 together and deposited this in the branch of the United States bank at Louisville. | Their doors then were closed. Hard Hit In 1873 The Madison bank then re-opened ! through deposits by Indiana farmers, but when the United States bank demanded that special specie payments be made, the institution closed. The bank met all obligations, however, before closing, paying depositors in full. In 1834, the Madison bank was rei opened again and was made the | head of the state bank, with a charj tor for twenty-five years. The. bank ; prospered until 1839 when improvement officials overdrew their accounts and the bank became endangered. The state came to the rescue. In 1873, another great panic struck the entire United States when expansion stopped, due to high money rates. More than $60,000,000 was drawn from banks in the United States between June 1, 1872, and June 1, 1879, to pay private mortgage debts of the states. Indiana was effected doubly when the federal court ordered thirteen insurance companies to withdraw $703,971 from the banks and repay their clients. More than 1,500 banks in the : United States were closed during the three years from 1877 to 1879, | inclusive, and a large portion of these were in Indiana. The next panic started in 1892 when there became a dullness in business and stock prices dropped. ! Several banks failed during that I period until 1895, when the depres- : sion lifted. On Oct. 28, 1907, banks in Indiana were forced to make a suspension of payment and ndopt the use lof clearing house ce * ficat.es. This was due to the withdrawal by inj terior banks on larger New York \ concerns. Only onp bank failed in Indiana, j however, that being at Aurora. The ! suspension lasted only three days, I all banks returning to regular systems Oct. 31. Following the close of the war in 1918, an unemployment, era took place and. by 1921. many banks in Indiana and elsewhere became affected and were forced to close. This period of depression lasted until 1926.

Veteran Legislator, Early Pal of Debs, Flays ‘Mussolini Rule’
Oldest Member Asserts That Recent House Was ‘Most Boss-Ridden.’ BY JAMES DOSS With the ending of the epochal and history-making 1933 session of the Indiana general assembly, there returns to his home the oldest member with the conviction that "the house is the most boss-ridden legislative body I ever have known.” He is Martin T. Krueger, seven times mayor of Michigan City and former roommate of Eugene V. Debs when he and Debs served together in the Indiana legislature of 1885. Krueger, now 80, always has been a Democrat since he cast his first, and losing, vote for President of the United States. That wa* in 1876 in Bureau county, Illinois, when he voted for Tilden and Hendricks for President and Vice-Presi-dent, and Hayes and Wheeler were elected. Roomed With Debs The veteran Indiana legislator cherishes his memories of the gay times he had with Debs when the pair was members of what was dubbed by the press and legislature of 1835 as the “Queer Quartet” and the “house temperance committee.” The other two members were Louis Donhost, who later became sheriff of Bartholomew county, and whose son now lives at Jonesville, and Edward Schmidt, with his brother, John, owner of the Indianapolis Brewing Company. Krueger and Debs then roomed together at the Grand hotel, still existent on South Illinois street, when it and the Claypool. then the Bates House, were the city's leading hotels. Selected by Voorhees They spent much of their time plotting against the peace of mind and dignity of their more sedate fellow legislators. Debs had been city clerk of Terre Haute and selected by Senator Daniel Voorhees as the only Democrat capable of carrying Vigo county, which was strongly Republican. That was in 1884 wh > Voorhees had been appointed Governor Williams to complete the term of Oliver P. Morton, Civil war Governor and then United States senator from Indiana, who had died in office. Since United States senators then were elected by the legislature. Debs was able to repay his patron in 1885
Foes Unite in Hero Role Couzens and Ford Brought Back Together by Michigan Banking Crisis. Btj Seripps-H mrnrd Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 7.—Two old partners and enemies—Senators James Couzens and Henry Ford—have been brought together again in a heroic role as a result of the banking crisis in Michigan. When the thrilling, inside story of this drama becomes known—and it will some day—the senator probably will get more credit even than the automobile magnate. But each in his separate field—the senator in conference with treasury and R. F- C. officials here, Ford in co-operation with local bankers and industrialists—has borne a heavy burden. Indeed, at one time, the R. F. C. directors virtually gave Couzens plenipotentiary power to act and speak for them.
And, as in the olden days when they developed the flivver out of the horseless carriage. Ford, in the present crisis, has depended on “Jim.” The aggressive, assertive senator used to boss the auto magnate like a father when he had charge of sales and Ford of production. Time and again couzens threatened to quit if his advice were not followed, but it always was. Now, in the senate, he is the same dominant figure. The R. F. C. heads fear him and heed him. Henry still responds to the spell. He sends the senator gifts of almost every new model, asks his advice now and then, and exhibits complete confidence in him. Although Couzens professes to think it rather humorous, he is quite human enough to be pleased by his old friend’s trust. For the senator the banking crisis came just in time to keep him in trim. He is about to lose his chairmanship of the interstate commerce committee, and he has been grumbling because he will have no outlet for his terrific energy. Always spoiling for activity, especially when it takes the form of personal or political conflict, life was becoming too calm for him. Indeed he ended a peaceful day recently with the mournful remark: “This has been a terrible day. I
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Martin T. Krueger by nominating him. and playing an important part in his return to the senate. It was later that Debs embraced the theories of Socialism that made him their greatest exponent, brought him the disgrace of a federal prison and caused him three times to seek the presidency of the United States. Debs organized the American Railway Union and through strikers’ burning of railroad cars at Burnside, 111., now a part of Chicago, was sent to jail at Wheaton, 111., famous for that, and later for Red Grange. It was later that Debs was sentenced to Atlanta. At that time, in marked contrast to the present, there was a prevalent and frequently expressed opinion that only the "little fellow” was sent to Atlanta so Debs was seized upon to allay the suspicion that there was any favoritism in the dispensation of justice. Relates Debs Episode He was found guilty of “uttering sentiments disioyal to the United States,” and it is of an episode in Debs’ prison life that Krueger enjoys telling to bear out his claim that his former roommate was a man of gentle soul and in whom the milk of human kindness flowed as a lifeblood. There also in Atlanta was a Negro murderer six feet in height and weighing more than two hundred pounds. Avery brute of a man, this Negro, so savage in his burn-
haven’t had a single fight. Nothing exciting has happened.” Hardly had he uttered these regrets when he got all the excitement he wanted —and. since his co-part-ner in the banking situation was “Henry,” a few fights. So he's happy again! Coonfield Burial Set for Today Funeral services for Mrs. Emma C. Coonfield, 56, of 1493 North Illinois street, who died Saturday, will be held at 2 this afternoon in the William E. Krieger undertaking establishment, 1402 North Illinois street.

Build up Your Strength
DON’T be that worst pest of all —the chronic sufferer from colds who passes germs on to family and friends. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery builds up the stomach and the blood so
that the entire system feels the beneficial effect. Your appetite increases and you feel more peppy than you have felt in years. Read what Mrs. Mary Jones of 1105 \Y. Indiana Avc.. Evansville, Ind., said: “After a bad spell of flu I look Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery to build up my strength. After taking a little of this remedy I noticed how I was gaining and I soon felt better than for a long time.” Write to Dr. Pierce’s Clinic. Buffalo. .V y.
Roomed With Great Leader of Socialists in 1885 at Grand Hotel. ing hatred for prison guards and so dangerous because of his unbridled strength, that two men were required to feed him. One would hand in the food while the other stood guard with a mace to balk a sudden at'ack by the prisoner. Beloved by Neighbors Debs, a model prisoner, finally obtained the warden's permission to talk to Tom. the Negro, and to go into his cell without benefit of armed guards. The Negro, who could not read or write, was schooled daily by Debs and the savagery with which he looked on all men gave way to an adoration for Debs that lasted until the latter left prison. When the time for Debs' leavetaking came, the hulking Tom blubbered like a child and clutched at Debs’ hands. A guard jeered at him: “Aren't you ashamed, a huge brute like you, to cry?” But Tom only answered as the tears rolled down his forbidding face: “That white man's the only Jesus I ever knowed.” Came (o State in 1864 Krueger tells also of a time in Philadelphia when, in zero weather, Debs met a friend without an overcoat and swathed him with his own. Krueger came to Indiana in 1864 when he was 10, from MecklenburgSchwerin, Germany. He came with his father and mother and nine brothers and sisters. It was to his pilgrimage to the United States he alluded in one of the most dramatic moments of the present house session. Set down baldly on paper, his words may sound melodramatic instead of dramatic, but they were uttered with an unimpeachable sincerity that moved his fellow representatives to applause, even though they had voted the other way. Assailed “Mussolini Bill” The moment came when Krueger explained his vote on the state reorganization bill, which he terms the "Mussolini bill.” The house listened carefully, as it usually listens, when Krueger makes one of his infrequent appearances on the floor. He said: “My father, standing in the evening and the exit of his life, with his face toward the setting sun, left his home, country, friends and associates to bring his family to a land where the people chose their rulers instead of being governed by a sovereign who rules by the grace of God, and I am not going to repudiate that act of sacrifice. “Neither am I going to violate the confidence of the people who sent me here, by voting to establish over them a government such as my father escaped from. I prefer to follow the example of the immortal Throckmorton of Texas, who alone voted against the ordinance of secession in the Texas legislature, of which he was a member, and said, as I say now: “ ’With the fear of God before mine eyes and the fear of no man in my heart, I vote no!’ ”
