Oh, That Headache! But That, It Seems, Is the Way Almost Every New Year Starts Out —for Some. BY JACK HOWARD A WEEK and a year started hand in hand Monday, and Indianapolis welcomed the latter with pre-Volstead fervor and joy. Sore feet, headaches and a heavy consumption of bromides was the order of the day. The city’s first baby of the year, a girl, arrived at 12:04 a. m. Many people stayed in bed all day. Toddling 1934 had its day, but soon relinquished the limelight to another.

Local citizens remembered the bov who called “wolf," and paid little heed to official admonishment that 1934 auto license tags must appear on the first day oft the new year or else arrest would ensue. Two days of grace were announced. The period up, arrests started. Then arrests were stopped for ten days by court order. Nobody seemed to be worried terribly. Schools, churches, parents and doctors united in an effort to immunize children against dreaded smallpox and diphtheria. a a a REPORTS of proceedings of the merger of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company with the Merchants Heat and Light Company authorized by the public service commission Jan. 10. 1927, were reported missing from commission files. Investigators found figures which showed the merger saddled city electric consumers with an alleged 515.000.000 excess valuation. Opening the Butler university forum on. "America Moves Forward." consulting engineer Samuel S. Wyer of Columbus, 0.. said. "Indianapolis capitalists are asleep, so far as any constructive or creative movement is concerned in solving modern social and economic problems, and they must awaken and co-operate, or face a firing squad."

The city turned its eyes to Washington on the day President Franklin D. Roosevelt motored to the Capitol. Said he to the seventy-third congress, convened in joint assembly, “Now that we are definitely in the process of recovery . . "Civilization can not go back, civilization must not stand still. We have undertaken new methods. It is our task to improve, to alter when necessary, but in all cases to go forward." a * IN terms which left no room for misapprehension, the President called for stringent measures against those who live off their neighbors by use of methods “either unethical or criminal"; promised to use all necessary means for relief; thanked an attentaive congress: and returned to the White House The next day "terrified and shocked" Republicans heard the chief executive announce an over-all deficit of $7 309.068,211 for this fiscal year and a necessity for borrowing $10,000,000,000 by July 1 to balance the treasury books. Democrats calmly applauded. The house passed the $2 a gallon whisky tax bill, 388 to 5, after two days lusty debate. Framers expected it to bring $750,000 in government revenue daily.

GROSS INCOME TAX LAW RUUNG IS EXPLAINED Interstate Requirements Clarified by New Interpretation. Merchandise must be shipped from Indiana to another state by common carrier to qualify as interstate commerce under the gross income tax law. This ruling has been made by the income tax division’s legal department to clarify a recent announcement that receipts from sales involving interstate commerce need not be reported on the annual return due Jan. 30. Thus bills of lading obtained through common or contract carrier shipment would be proof of interstate commerce classification.

Adams Company, Indianapolis manufacturers of road raa- : chinery and equipment.

LIQUOR CONTROL ISSUE RESTS IN SUPREMECOURT Gary Man’s Counsel Brands 1933 Law as Violation of Constitution. # ! Division as to constitutionality of the Indiana plan of liquor control rests today with the supreme court. Excise Director Paul Fry's alleged discrimination in dealing out licenses was attacked vigorously before the high court in oral arguments closing the case yesterday afternoon. The state, through the attorneysgeneral office, defended the beer and liquor control statute and contended j that it does not violate constitutional provisions. Case Started in Gary Appeal was taken to the supreme court by Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr., from the ruling of Judge Virgil S- Reiter of LaUe county superior court, which held the law unconstitutional. Suit was brought in the lower | court by Abe Rosen, Gary, who failed to procure a wholesale beer license. He is in the soft drink business in Gary. Attorney Oscar P. Thiel, Gary,! who presented the case for Rosen yesterday, declared that in Lake county Mr. Fry gave the wholesale permits to one coal dealer, one ice dealer, two attorneys, two former American Legion post commanders and the Democratic city chairman at East Chicago. Branded Monopolistic He attacked the importers’ Hetup as being monopolistic and costly to consumers. The 1933 legislature was without power to pass such a statute, since no modification had been made in the Volstead act'and the eighteenth amendment at that time, Mr. Thiel contended. Charge that Mr: Rosen was sent to Attorney Frank McHale, McNutt adviser, when he sought a permit, was repeated. This point was raised in the original complaint and denied by Mr. McHale. Herbert Patrick, for the attor-ney-general's office, arguing that the law violates no constitutional provisions, said nothing about its administration.

—Sunday Sermon— CHRIST’S BIRTH STORY TYPICAL OF LIFE TODAY Each New-Born Child Brings Hope for Future of Greatness. Text: Matt. 2:1-12 tt B tt BY WM. E. GILROY. D. D. Editor ot The Congrr nationalist The thought of the whole world during the recent Christmas season was turned toward the story of our lesson—the story of the most wonderful birth. We always should remember that the division of our Bible into chapters and verses is the work of a later age and was not in the original manuscript. There is, therefore. no break between chapter one and chapter two, but the story in our lesson of the corqing of the wise men to visit Jesus is an incident in the whole record of his birth and infancy. Who were the wise men. and where did they come from? There has bee na great deal of speculation about that, but the question can not be answered with any certainty. It was an age in which much importance was attached to the stars, i and in which the precursors of later i seers and scientists, who observed | the stars, were men with a deep ! response to the wonder and mystery i of the universe in which they lived. I These wise men may have come long distances, for even in an era i when transportation and travel were slow and tedious, man's instinct for adventure and gain had established far distant routes of trade. There is a tradition, without any clear proof, that the wise men : came from the far east, possibly from India. The incident as it | stands in the new testament serves to emphasize the universality of the j Christ who was born, even as his | teaching and the salvation that he ! brought have applied to all men | without distinction and to peoples i of every land and clime. There is something suggestive in I the journey of these Wise Men to see a new-born babe, and in their reverential attitude. Their coming and their worship were a manifestation of faith; but even beneath this faith was a deep and splendid humility. It means much when we can see in a new-born babe a possible saint or prophet of kings of the future. Considering all the men of greatness and goodness who have risen from poor and humble surroundings, we well might assume an attitude of reverence and humility toward every child. There can be no great home life, no soundness of national life, and no hope for the world where there is not the supreme value placed upon the child. The story of our lesson represents a high plane of human life and interest. As in so many passages and incidents of Scripture, we have, also, j the strong contrast between the at- ! titude of the Wise Men and that of Herod. How typical of human life even in our own day is that contrast! One the one hand we see today, as we have seen in past ages, the love and goodness hat reverence the child, the forces of education and nuture that work to beautiful and I ennoble child life; while on the | other hand there are the Herod-like forces of dstruction, the forces that I for the sake of gain will keep chil- ! dren in the slums and hovels un- | nourished and for the most part j uncared for. A lesson concerning the child | Christ means little to us unless we j can see it in the terms of this contrast, and unless it moves us to put all our emphasis and interest upon the things that make for the wellbeing and proper development of j the child. The Christ, who was bom in Bethlehem later, was to take the children in his arms and bless them. It is only as we live in the same spirit and practice that we truly ' rejoice in his birth. •FLAG WAVING’ KIND OF PATRIOTISM ATTACKED Lieutenant-Colonel H. Weir Cook Addresses Exchange Club.
