BOCK BEER ARRIVES: SPRING IS NEAR

Jt " I

The city's first sign of spring bloomed in windows of cases and grills today. In the above photo. Miss Jean Singer, proprietor of Singer’s Grill, Alabama and Washington streets, is shown displaying the first placard of spring's tonic to supplant sulphur and molasses since Indiana's long drouth. Bock beer was known in “ye olden days” as a sure cure for lethargy. The advent of the brew was the signal for festive occasions. Brew r ers drank deep of its foam to celebrate the opening of the first cask of aged beer in the spring. It is a brew of darker hue, heavier and older than the average lager.

MISS NOONE IN TRUSTEE RACE Center Township Official Cites Record in Plea for Re-Election. Declaring that she sought renomination and election wholly on her record in office the past four years. Miss Hannah Noone, 403 North Keystone avenue, Center township trustee, today announced her candidacy in the coming Democratic primary. The first Democrat to hold the office in thirty-two years. Miss Noone found herself facing the largest relief problem in the state when she took office in January, 1930, the peak of the depression. Since, she boasts of many innovations in poor relief with savings to the taxpayers. She obtained the present large building that houses her office and all working units without rent cast to the county. Three of these units, the barber-

shop, woody ard and shoe repair shop, have been of especial interest to trustees and social agency investigators throughout the middle west. The barber shop provided work for men and fuel andjhe shoe shop for men and fuel an dthe shoe shop repaired an average of 125 pairs of shoes daily at low cost, with one day, Friday, given over entirely to the repair of school children's shoes, Miss Noone states. At the peak of the depression, Miss Noone asserts she provided food for 65.000 persons and while state and national officials have credited her with giving one of the best administrations in the nation irom the standpoint of efficiency, economy and per capita cost, Miss Noone is most proud of the fact that, although she handles more than $2,000,000 annually, numerous state accounts board checks never have revealed an error of more than 99 cents, she says. Three grade schools have been operated on a full school term basis with only one minor cut in teachers’ pay and all this without incurring bond debt, she claims. For automobile mechanics and other workers who need a spotlight, anew two-bulb light has been devised, which is worn above the eyes and connects with a pocket battery.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FRANCE COPIES RECOVERY IDEA OF ROOSEVELT Unprecedented Powers Are Given Premier Doumergue in ‘New Deal/ By United l'rem PARIS. March I—France entered today a Rooseveltian era in politics, during which Premier Doumergue and his “salvation” cabinet, with semi-dictatorial powers, will try to set the country on the road to industrial and economic recovery. Two measures arming Premier Doumergue with powers enjoyed by no previous peace time premier were contained in the 1934 budget which the chamber of deputies passed finally at 7 a. m. today, after a sitting of more than twenty hours, by a vote of 438 to 132. The senate’s concurrence, a formality, because it already had approved the measures, was expected today. These measures give Premier Doumergue power by official decree to raise or lower tariffs until November and to effect by decree until June 30 governmental economies sufficient to balance the budget and keep the country’s credit intact. A project was due for consideration soon that would give the government also extraordinary powers until October to liquidate the most serious agricultural problem in recent French history. The program of government for the next six months is similar to that of President Roosevelt during his first few months in offfice, in so far as executive power and its aim —recovery—are concerned. But in the French program an important feature is to keep on the gold standard and bulwark the franc against attack. The 70-year-old premier, who entered office three W’eeks ago as head of a national coalition government, hammered a reluctant parliament into granting him his powers by using President Roosevelt's tactics. He appealed to public opinion over the heads of politicians, not

CWA WORKERS BUILD DUGOUT SHELTER FROM SCRAPS

This dugout shelter was built by civil works employes, assigned to grading and leveling Paris avenue from Burdsal boulevard north to Twenty-third street, during their lunch hours. It was built from scrap materials salvaged from a dump. All of the workers on this project are war veterans. Frank btewart, foreman, is shown in the foreground.

by means of direct speeches into homes but by saying, whenever he asked anything of parliament: “This is necessary. If it is not granted, I must resign.” To resign, he and parliament knew, would plunge the country Into chaos much worse than that of the present riots. As soon as he could do so gracefully, Premier Doumergue planned to send parliament on vacation so that he might wield his great powers in an atmosphere free of politics. He plans to inaugurate a modest public works program to relieve unemployment and to reorganize government departments, notably the ministry of commerce, along the lines on which President Roosevelt reorganized his commerce department. There was even a further Rooseveltian analysis—the plan which, the United Press learned, the French heavy industries, including steel producers, are studying for a voluntary code, to govern their activities for the next three years. Premier Doumergue was victorious all along trie line today. One victory was the chamber’s consent, after several refusals, to withdraw' its proposal for a 10 per cent tax on wages of foreign commercial and industrial workers. Finance Minister Germain Martin told the chamber that the govern-

ment would offer at some later time a substitute which would not conflict with foreign treaties. The budget will show a paper balance and will provide for revenues and expenditures of about 48.500,000 francs t 53,184,510,000).

CHARGE FORMATION OF TIREMONOPOLY Driven Out of Business by Goodyear, Dealers Say. By United Press MEMPHIS. March I.—The federal trade commission's tire trade investigation was resumed here today. Twenty-two independent tire dealers in this territory were summoned by Commission Examiner j John W. Bennett. They supported | the government's charge that the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's contract with Sears, Roebuck & Cos. has driven thousands of dealers from business and has begun to create a monopoly. The commission complaint charged that the “rebates” were in fact “credit adjustments,” and that the ‘’bonus’’ really was a legitimate payment for a ten-year contract signed in 1931. Chemists have produced a concentrated apple juice that can be mixed with water to make a drink tasting like fresh apple juice.

CHILD OPPOSES MOTHER'S PLEA FORJUSTODY M Do Not Want to Live With Her/ Girl, 13, Tells Judge Pickens. “I do not want to live with my mother. I have not seen her more than a dozen times in ten years, and I don't know her very well.” This declaration by Gertrude Egelhdf, 13, dealt a severe blow to the habeas corpus action brought by her mother, Mrs. Anna Egelhof. 1714 Roosevelt avenue, to obtain her possession. The girl has been living with her aunt and uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Jewell, for the last ten years. Judge William A. Pickens of superior court three, before whom the | petition was filed, announced that he would not decide the case until after briefs have been filed by opposing attorneys. “I want to decide this case on a legal basis, at the same time keeping in mind what will be best for the girl.” Judge Pickens said. Evidence disclosed that Mrs. Egelhof gave Gertrude to her sister, Mrs. Jewell, "to keep for a week,” when she was 3. The child was returned to her mother at the end of the specified period, but was given back to the aunt the same day. “She has been with us ever since and we regard her as our own little child,” both Mr. and Mrs. Jewell stated from the witness stand. They said they had made extensive plans for Gertrude's education, and were finally able to care for her. Evidence disclosed that Mrs. Egelhof had visited her daughter not more than a dozen times during the ten-year period. Asked what she would do if the court ordered her to return to her mother, Gertrude replied that she would refuse to go. Several times while on the witnss stand the gi”l used the words “mother” and "daddy” when referring to her aunt and uncle.
