LARGE FAMILIES DOMINATE CITY RELIEF ROLLS Many Children on Lists, Research Director Reveals. Large families in Indianapolis form the greatest drain or public relief funds here figures from the recent unemployment reliet census reveal. More than one-third of all families on the relief rolls are made up of five or more members. Ihls Is shown to be a large Increase over census figures for 1930 when only one-fifth of the families of tnat size in Indianapolis were receiving public relief. Non-family persons in Indianapolis made up only 5 per cent of all relief cases, Corrington Gill, director of research and statistics, disclosed. Mr. Gill stated that this situation is peculiar and was not to be found in the figures for the country as a whole. Many Children on Rolls An unusually large number of children are to be found in the relief families, it was pointed out. Approximately eighteen thousand children are on the relief rolls, representing over 40 per cent of all persons receiving relief. Negro families make up over a third of all the relief cases. In 1930, only about one-fifth of the cases were Negroes. Census bureau officials state that the hardships of unemployment have fallen with particular severity upon the colored race. Majority Between 35 and 44 Os the 44,426 persons on the relief rolls, the greatest number lie! between the age groups of 35 to 44 years. Five thousand five hundred sixty-eight persons, or 12.5 per cent of the total, are represented in this class. Nearly 11 per cent of the people receiving relief are over 55 years of age. A total of 4,855 people are in this group. These figures were based on the number of families and nonfamily persons who were receiving relief from public funds during October, 1933. This study represents only those persons and families, who had resided in the United States for at least one year when the census was taken. The study was made by federal emergency relief administration in connection with unemployment relief. RUNAWAY RACER KILLS 9 Speeding Car Runs Two Miles Past Finish Line.

Do they possess the natural glow of health, which comes from a sufficiency of rich, red blood? If they do, make-up is simple... if they don’t, read 0n... you may find one of the reasons why your akin is not clear. It is well to remember that a probable reason why yon do not have red lips, rosy cheeks, good health, energy and cheerfulness is that your blood is in a run-down condition. Lack of hemo-glo-bin, the red coloring of the blood, may also indicate a weakened condition of the body ... loss of strength ... poor appetite. Neglect of diet, worry, overwork, colds or sickness, frequently break down and retard the natural development of the red-blood-cells and their oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin. Why not set in motion the rebuilding of those all-important blood-cells instead of procrastinating and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling of being well and fit ? Though you have no organic disease," you may have a lowered red-blood-cell count with deficient hemo-glo-bin. When this occurs, and it is very common, you need a tonic. Not just a so-called tonic, but a tonic that has the virtue of stimulating gastric secretions, and also having the mineral elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood to enable you to “carry on” without exhaustion, as you should naturally. If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, we recommend S.S.S. because its value has been proven by generations, as well as by modern scientific appraisal. S.S.S. is truly a blood and body tonic. It is carried by every 3rug store in America in two sizes—the larger being mora economical. a physician, of count, if you sunpect an y organic trouble, ☆☆ ☆ ☆ Some interesting facts about the Blood About Bof. of the body weight is blood. It circulates over the entire body something like 200 times daily. On each trip it passes thru the lungs, before entering the heart, to throw off dead air from the tissues and to take up the vitalising oxygen to convert food material into tissue repair and energy. The only way food can be utilised in the body to give it heat and energy and replace worn out tissue is to combine it with the oxygen released from the blood in the tissues. Hemo-glo-bin of the red-cells carries the oxygen. It is just as important that the hemo-glo-bin be kept up to Nature’s standard to insure that the body tissues get their orygen and can remove the waste matter as it is to eat nourishing food. Constant rebuilding of the red cells is necessary, •s their ordinary life is only about 80 days, and extra help is needed when they are below normal. ©Th S.S.S. Cos.

STATE VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR PASSESATIOI Colonel James S. Wright Attributed Longevity to Abstinence. By Timet Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., Feb. 26. A picturesque character in the Indiana pocket district. Colonel James S. Wright of Rockport, 101, soldier, legislator, temperance advocate and lodge worker, died here yesterday of paralysis. Colonel Wright, a Civil war veteran, was believed to have been the oldest Master Mason in the world. His spectacular career was not dimmed by the years and on his 100th birthday he rode horseback through the streets of Rockport as

thronging citizens cheered. A month later he headed the parade at ceremonies for the opening of the Evansville-Henderson bridge. He had addressed a Lincoln day banquet at Boonville early this month. This character, a representative of a long-dead sturdy pioneer spirit, boasted that his longevity was due to the fact that he had never used liquor, coffee, tea or tobacco. During the Civil war he served as colonel of-the Twenty-fifth Indiana volunteers and was believed to have been the last of the Civil war regimental commanders. He was born in Spencer county near Rockport on a farm his father settled in 1808. He spent the greater part of his life in that county and had voted in every election since reaching his majority at Spencer county. During the Cjvil war he traveled 1,000 miles by foot, horse and boat to cast his ballot for Abraham Lincoln. Colonel Wright was initiated into the Rockport Masonic lodge eighty years ago. He was considered the oldest Eastern Star at the age of 96. He had been a member of the Trinity M. E. church, Rockport, eightysix years. His entrance into politics was as

Spencer county representative of the Indiana legislature of 1866. He wa.* later commissioned on the military staff of General Hovey and had been commissioner for the Indiana soldiers monument on Shiloh battlefield. The only immediate survivor is the son. with whom he had been living. William Wright. HELD FOR SHOOTING DOG City Man Wounds Animal Which Bit Sister Recently.
