FOREIGN CRY FOR STABILIZING DOLLAR FAILS Roosevelt Hasn’t Changed Mind on Problem Since End of London Parley. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Bcripct-How*r<l Forvini Lditor WASHINGTON. Aug. 17—Rumors of impending dollar stabilization were nailed today by announcement that the President has not changed his mind one lota since he rebuffed the foreign powers clamoring for it at London. The mvst*rious goings and comings of Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, but now In the United States; Treasury Secretary Willism Woodin, Senator William G. McAdoo, federal reserve bank officials and others, had led to the belief that stabilization was again under discussion. Gold Countries Uneasy Prance, Holland and other gold countries are known to be uneasy lest they, too be forced off the gold standard. Though President Roosevelt has let fall no hint of what his plans are with regard to the jjollar. he has let It be known—and not without some degree of emphasis—that his views have not changed since th° London parley. At that time he bluntly cabled the conference that he had not the slightest intention of following “the fetishes of so-called international bankers,” and warned foreigners that so far as the United States is concerned “it seeks the kind of dollar which a generation hence will have the same purchasing and debt-paying power as the dollar we hope to attain in the near future,” Dollar High Again At that time it was indicated that the President wanted a dollar worth what it was around 1925-26. that is to say, about 65 cents. At this particular moment it seems to be headed in the opposite direction. Measured in gold, the dollar is up again to where it is worth 75 cents —a depreciation of only 25 per cent. Great Britain, France and the rest of Europe are waiting with anxiety to see what the President's next move will be. Another war, debt pavment will fall due on Dec. 15.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ONCE BROADWAY IDOL NOW RUNS CHICKEN_ FARM Florence Webber, Stage Star of Former Days, in Retirement. (Continued From Page One) of Blanche Ring. Mitzi. John Drew, Weber and Fields and a host of others; the Broadway of the twentieth century, when it was young and "show business was good," has come back to Indiana to farm. It took the appearance of Texas Guinan in Indianapolis to bring the soprano out of her self-imposed obscurity. Miss Webber had not been inside a theater for seven years until Texas came to town. Wednesday she appeared at the stage door and introduced herself to the "queen of the night clubs.” Christened hv Diva The women embraced each other. They recalled days when they were two of the theatrical lunchroom group which daily gathered at the Claridge hotel near Times Square. They recalled Miss Webber's starring vehicles. “The Climax.” “Lady Luxury.” “Floradella." Victor Herbert’s two great musical shows, “Naughty Marietta” and “Sweethearts.'' “Poor Little Rich Girl,” “Do Drop Inn” and her last show, “Lollpop.” in which she co-starred with Ada May Weeks. She told Tertas of her farm here named “Jerrywood” in honor of Geraldine Farrar, a close personal friend of Miss Webber's 'and christened by the diva, herself. Leads Chicken Chorus Miss Webber told Texas that only occasionally does she get a “yen' for the show business. When she found if getting bad. she returned to Indianapolis, where she was born and attended Miss Sewell’s school and Tudor Hall before going on the stage. When she left the theater, Texas still was open-mouthed “Did you ever hear her sing?” she asked incredulously. “Why. she had a voice that knocked ’em in the aisles.’ She starred in more musical shows than I have relatives. And now she leads a chorus of 3.000 chickens. Oh. lordv!”

* 22 Years Ago in Brown Bottles Now... in Enzyme Control • SCHLITZ introduced the famous Brown Bottle 22 years ago—and told the world that beer in white bottles exposed to sunlight for three minutes took on a skunky taste and became undrinkable. Other brewers hooted and stormed but continued with their white bottles and—continued to lose sales to SCHLITZ. Now, many prominent brewers have adopted the Brown Bottle—thus admitting the scientific truth and compelling force of SCHLITZ statements—which had made such an indelible impression on the public. BUT— as sensational as the Brown Bottle advertisements were, they are dwarfed by the latest announcement of SCHLITZ that they have solved a problem which has puzzled the industry for years—and that is Enzyme Control in the brewing processes. Enzymes digest malt, hops, yeast and water into solution. Unless the enzymatic activities are controlled skillfully—the result is a rank, indigestible beer. SCHLITZ is brewed to a split second under a secret enzyme control —it is fully fermented at the brewery. It cannot ferment in your stomach to cause indigestion, flatulency, or discomfort otherwise. E’ drinking some other beer, ;re’s a difference. And what bodied ripeness! SCHLITZ izyme control. Try it today! i the attractive SCHLITZ Handy Six. Ask your Dealer. 2000 Northwestern Avenu#
