Pollution In days long gone, Indiana's streams flowed crystal clear, beauty spots, that lured swimmers and fishermen. That was years ago. Today, the rush of industry has brought with it the ruin of state creeks, rivers and lakes. The old swimmin’ hole is gone, its water poisoned with acids, its cool depths only a lure to infection. Stream pollution is a menace to the health of Indiana. To bring this serious situation before the people of the state. The Times on Tuesday will start a series of stories on Hoosier rivers and lakes that have become danger spots instead of the places of rare beauty for vacationists that they were a decade and more ago. Read the first one in The Times Tuesday.

A l Jolson Socks Winchell Over New Film Scenario Comedian Claims Columnist Sold Story of Romance With Ruby Keeler to Studio: Battle at Fight Stadium. Ily I nil. .1 /'r. ** HOLLYWOOD. July 22.—A1 Jolson. famous screen and stage star, used his fists on Walter Winchell, newspaper columnist, because Winchell wrote a scenario based on Jolson‘s love life and sold it to a studio. That was what Jolson insisted today as the Hollywood wise boys thoiißlu the bit of impromptu pugilism in the Hollywood Legion stadium Friday night might have been a publicity gag.

If it was a publicity stunt, it was a painful one for Winchell. The comedian's blows were powerful and well directed. Winchell. trying a counter attack, was held back by spectators. "He had it coming to him." Jolson said wrathfully today. Winchell's story was based on his romance with Ruby Keeler, actress, and now Mrs. Jolson, Jolson said. Jolson was seated with Ruby in the prize fißht audience at the stadium when Winchell entered. The comedian stopped him in the aisle. There were words. Nearby spectators said they were spoken in a tone so low they could not hear. Without warning. Jolson slammed across his right. It scraped the columnist's neck. A second blow caught Winchell in the back of the neck, knocking him down. With that, thp comedian returned to his seat, and Winchell continued to his. The packed house, sprinkled with motion picture celebrities, sat

In Tennessee, which voted Thursday. the wet victory was assured almost beyond possibility of doubt as the wets held a majority of less than 9.000 with only 121 precincts missing. Tennessee was the nineteenth state to approve ratification, and the third state of the “solidly dry" south to vote w?t.

He dustnbuted coins to the delighted children. "I get a big kick out of kids.” he said. “I guess you have to work pretty hard." he remarked as the matron bustled about getting the children back at their games. "Now. me. I'm able-bodied, but I don't have to work. Life's been pretty good to me. I've got a good bit of money and I get a certain amount every week from an old lady in Ohio.” MISS CHADWELL admitted that life was not quite as soft for her. She explained that

Minn Foster SUFFERING from a broken n°ck and crushed spinal cord, results of a dive into shallow water. Mino Foster. 17. lies dying today at the Methodist hospital. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Foster, 353 Kenyon street. On June 2. Mino went with a party of friends on a swimming party. At a gravel pit six miles east of Arlington avenue, on the Brookvill? road, he separated from the party to try a high dive on the far side of the pit. Plunging into shallow water. Mino struck the rocks, falling on his back and neck. He was removed from the water by friends and taken to the hospital, still conscious. He suffered paralysis of the shoulders and has kept under the influence of mpdicine to lessen the severe pain of the last few weeks. From the beginning, surgeons and physicians pronounced the ease a losing fight. The boy graduated from School 57 in Irvington and has been a student at Technical high school for the last three years. He had looked forward to graduation next June, and to entering Purdue university in the fall as a student of merhanical engineering.

google-eyed a moment, then broke into cheers. A tremendous ovation followed Jolson when he left the stadium before the fight card was over. Jolson stated that Winchell's scenario. "Broadway Through the Keyhole." purports to describe his romance. The story was sold to Darryl Zanuck's Twentieth Century pictures, several days ago. It calls for gangster roles. Winchell dem°d he purposely paralleled the story with Jolson's romance. "It could fit another Braadway romance I know of.” the columnist said. "There is nothing offensive about it. All the principals com? out clean." "When my wife read that Winchell had sold that story, she couldn't sleep.” Jolson said. “She became hysterical.”
