FOUND! DRIVER HAS GOOD WORD FOR LUMBERS' Dr. Rice Finds Hitch-Hiker Rides Enjoyable—Not Dangerous. At last a motorist has been found who has a good word to say for a hitch-hiker. The motorist is Dr Thurman B Rice of the slat** health department and Indiana university school of medicine In ? he July issue of the health department bulletin. Dr Rice relates the rich experience he has had by hauling thumbers. He closes with the advice to be less afraid about picking up strangers and enjoy this casual contact with fellow beings more. 'Tell Me I m Craaty’ All the wise guvs, and the big shots at the motor club, and the cops and timid sisters tell me I am a fool for picking up strangers on the road and giving them a lift occasionally." Dr Rice comments. "They remind me of the time when a ‘college student 1 murdered his benefactor, and very recently they cite the case of a man who was killed as his rar left the road while he was struggling with a hitch-hiker who was attempting to hold him up "When one remembers, however, that thousands of rides are given every dav. that doesn’t seem to be a very high percentage. Kept Him Awake “Having someone to talk to has kept me from getting sleepy at the wheel hundreds of times, and sleeping at the whrel is not a very healthful occupation, if you are asking me. I wonder how many timid souls have gone to sleep and run into the ditch because they were afraid to have a little company? “In these times of stress there are a great many people on the roads asking for rides. Some of these fellow mortals are eatingthfir hearts out looking for work, trying to get back home to the family, hoping at the end of the rainbow, just ahead, to find a way of bettering their condition ” Dr Rice then relates many of his experiences with hitch-hikers and concludes: Rums Cp Philosophy “If I could be sure that adversity never would come to me and mine; if I could learn to disregard the feelings of other people as I go speeding by; if I could solve the social and economic problems that put honest as well as dishonest people on foot along the weary miles; if I could be assured that I never would need to wield the pleading thumb; if I could be divinely certain that I have a better right to ride than do the less fortunate ones, it would be different, but until then. I shall continue to take a little chance on my precious safety. "There's nothing so dangerous, you know, as being absolutely safe."

Temple Smith

Walking 70.000 miles in the last few years and more than 2,000 miles in the last year, is great fun and health-building, according to Temple Smith, 3069 Central avenue. In fact, in the last year’s walking there has been only one flaw. That's because he walked and walked campaigning for Governor Paul V. McNutt. but he still is out of a job. Smith last w f eek walked thirty miles daily. In his hitch-hiking career, he has been to California three times. Another time he did a little jaunt of 11.000 miles from here to New York and then to a northernmost Canadian village and back. He is 31 and figures that he gets 1,000 miles out of every pair of army shoes he wears before he mast have them half soled.

LA GUINAN GOES IN FOR SPIRITS—OF SEANCE KINO •When Do We Go Home?’ Is Hopeful Request of Tex’ Manager. BY BASH. GALLAGHER Time* SUB Writer Texas Guinan has gone in for spirits. In the good old days when she was wont to greet convivial spirits who entered her famed El Fay Club in New York, with "Hello, sucker!” it generally was agreed that she knew how to handle spirits of that type dexteriously and sometimes roughly. And, although the ’queen of the night clubs" declares that she never took a drink in her life, it is known that she has had a bowing acquaintance with strong spirits. But not until she came to Indianapolis did she reveal an interest in spirits of an entirely different sort—and not the kind which come in bottles, or tall, fragile glasses. To put it succinctly, Texas gave a seance. “Talks" to Larry Fay Seated in the living room of a local lawyer's home on Carrollton avenue Monday night. Texas "tipped tables," produced "ghostly" raps and other "ghoulish" phenomena -while a group of skeptical friends looked on. She "talked" to Larry Fay, slain night club owner. The room was darkened at La Guinan’s command and only a sliver of light from a partly opened door revealed the group of "ghosttasters." assembled around the blond night club “queen.'' as she invoked visitors from the valley of the shadow. The room was in complete stillness as Miss Guinan rested her fingertips lightly on the edge of a card table while two local reporters, a young Indianapolis business woman and another guest followed suit. After perhaps twenty minutes of suspense the table began to sway and vibrate 'Ed. The writer doesn't drink—this week) and tilt sharply at La Guinan’s command. Eddie's a Skeptic “Look Eddie.” she cried to her manager. Eddie Baker, who was most skeptical of all, “come here and see for yourself.” "Nuts.” said Eddie politely, “it's all a phony.” “You get right out of here.” La Guinan commanded. "How- can w-e get spirits with such an unsympathetic mug around?” Eddie retired to the kitchen, grumbling about the late hour. The table began to tilt again. "Here’s a spirit." cried Texas exultantly. "Now spirit give us a good demonstration. Answer our questions with three raps for ‘yes’ and one rap for no.’ Is this Larry Fay about w-hom we've been talking?” Three “ghostly" raps sounded in the breathless silence. He Wants Prayer In a succession of raps. Fay’s "spirit" answered that he was happy; that he had been shot by an assailant who had not "given him a chance" and that he wished “to be prayed for.” "Do you want to ask Larrv any questions. Eddie?" Miss Guinan asked her manager, who had wandered back into the room. “Yes." said Eddie, “ask him when we're going home.” Suddenly the table tilted sharply. "Come..here quick, Eddie!” cried Texas, "light a match and look all around this table. Tell me if you see anything phony." Eddie lit a match and got down on his knees. After a thorough inspection. while the table still rested at a sharp tilt. Eddie admitted that no one appeared to be “using a knee" or touching the table in any way except with the fingertips. "Now, suckers," said Texas, "I suppose you're still going to give me the ’bronx cheer.' This seance stuff is new to me. I tried it firsi in Detroit three weeks ago and now I'm a positive addict. Isn't that right, Eddie?" "You're telling me," said Eddie.

Wan from a week's severe illness, which twice had prevented her appearance in court. Miss Carver testified briefly to the debonair film player’s alleged use of profanity in her presence. “Mr. Menjou frequently told me the idea of marriage was old-fash-ioned and that he was through with me." she said. "I tried to change his point of view, but could not." They separated a year ago. she said, and were reconciled for a short while on his promise of a change in attitude—but it proved, she added, an empty promise. A property settlement was approved whereby Miss Carver will receive SIO,OOO a year for five years and an automobile. Previously Menjou settled SIOO,OOO on her.

'FRISCO YOUTH ADMITS SLAYING DEFORMED BABY •Mercy’ Killer Confesses, Illegitimate Mother of Child Named. By United prrei SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 15 Dazed and remorseful after confessing he killed his illegitimate monthold daughter. Frank Fabian. 21. physical culture instructor, ascribed a reason for his act and named the mother of the child. He killed the infant, he said, because it was deformed and he didn t ; want it to grow up that way. He asetted Ellen Rautio of Belt, Mont., ; was the mother. His story, wrung from him Monday by police after a night of ques- | tio.ung and interrupted by his at- ; tempt at suicide, was that of a | youth and girl who met at a dance; whose union resulted in a daughter i being born at an institution. The mother left, and the institution tried | vainly to place the infant for adop- , tion. First Attempt Fails Fabian took charge of his daughter a week ago. "When I looked at my baby and saw its deformities, things began to get hazy." he said. "I know what it would mean to have it grow up like that. “I remember how I tried to smother it, but failed. Then I used a carving knife. Later. I realized I had killed it. I put the body in j a zipper bag.” Police said the child's throat had ; been cut. "I hid the bag under the house," Fabian continued, "but I couldn't sleep thinking about it right there under me. So I placed it in the 1 bushes in Buena Vista park. I think I went downtown to a theater. Then I went back to the park and i sot- the bag. and hid iit under the house again." Talked With Attorney Remorse caused him to seek advice from his attorney. Edward McKenzie, who notified police, j The baby's body was found where Fabian said he left it. Apparently cn;zed by a night of police questioning. Fabian attempted suicide by butting his head against his cell wall shortly after officers left him. Other prisoners j summoned jailors, who overpowered t him. He incurred serious head inI juries. Breaks Under Questioning At first, he refused to name the child's mother, merely saying she was a Swedish domestic. He broke down completely under the questioning. however, and said the girl was Ellen Rautio. "Ellen didn't want the baby.” he i said. “She had had another one I previously.”
