GOETT ANXIOUS I TO RUN--ALL HE NEEDSIS'SPOT' City Clerk Considers Chances in Sheriff Battle as Primary Nears. BY DICK MILLER Timri Staff Writer “The more the merrier’’ seemed to . be the popular slogan of political * leaders today as they groomed some some and talked of more candi- , dates for the sheriff nomination in l the Democratic primary' in May. While many have been mentioned. the one of most recent ims portance is Henry O. Goett, city clerk, attorney and recently an unsuccessful candidate for the ap- ; pointment as municipal court judge 5 in room three. ; Admitting that he seriously is considering the race for sheriff, Mr. , Goett sought his many frisnds in i politics for advice. He is not par- / ticularly “sold” on the idea of run- { ning for the sheriff post, he will * tell you, but finding himself some- | what of a political football,” Heinie, ’■ as the boys call him. finds himself * in a position of running for sheriff I or nothing. Tireless Party Worker For fifteen years. Mr. Goett, who still is a member of the young Democratic group, has been a staunch and tireless worker for the party on the south side. He organzied clubs, campaigned for his friends and when in Butler uni- * versity, organized the young Demo- - crats on the campus. Later he was named secretary to L. Ert Slack . when the latter served out the un- > finished mayor term of John Duvall, j Mr. Goett then ran for city clerk } and party leaders found him so \ popular that a year ago they talked i of him as a possible mayor candidate until the skip election law was * passed. However, Mr. Goett will tell I i you that he has been somewhat a! victim of his own party. His salary j . was cut S6OO and then a law was l * passed that removed him as an au- ; tomatic member of the election commissioners, and that cost him $2,000 * more. ; Mr. Goett will tell you further, he became aware that certain political support he felt he would rei ceive in his recent race for the municipal court judgeship, went , elsewhere, either by the way of the “double cross” or otherwise, and some of the city hall and regular organization county Democrats told ‘Heinie” that he was o. k. personally, | but wrong politically. Supported Judge Baker It seems that in the last county election, Mr. Goett was for Judge Frank Baker, a lifetime friend of ! his family and others who are not so popular with the city and the regulars, thereby causing himself to be labeled an “insurgent,” or member of the Baker-Grossart-Ralston-Cox group. ' It is said that one of the main reasons Governor Paul V. McNutt overrode the wishes of his patrorage secretary. Pleas Greenlee and appointd Dewey Myers instead of Mr. Goett to the municipal judgeship, was because Judge Frank Baker supported Mr. Goett. Now it is rumored that Mr. . Greenlee would like to take a little more active interest in Marion county politics and also make amends for falling down in his efforts for Mr. Goett for Judge It is reported he would be willing to support Mr. Goett for sheriff, and also swing the statehouse group his way. McHale Favors Brown Anyway, that is the word that Joel Baker, probation officer in Judge Baker's court and who would have himself a power in county politics. has carried to Mr. Goett. But whether the statehouse group would “go" for Mr. Goett is problematical, because it also is said that Frank McHale, reputed to have a thing or two to say about i what statehouse politicians do, and * a close friend to William E. Clauer, * city chairman, is reported backing William T. Brown. Mr. Clauer's candidate for sheriff. * It also is said that Pleas Green- ; lee is taking a hand in Marion county politics principally because he wants to see Police Captain Otto Ray crushed if Captain Ray decides to run and rumors have t that the latter will decide about . April 1. Captain Ray, it seems, supported V. M. Armstrong for state commander of the American Legion. ■ and Edward Haves for national commander at the convention last ; summer, in direct opposition to Greenlee's wishes. Both were elected, so that hurt the Greenlee feelings. Ray’s Friends Active ; Mr Brown has announced al- : ready for sheriff. Friends of Cap- ' tain Ray are circulating 15.000 | pledge cards for signatures which they hope will spur him to announce. Mr. Goett is sounding cut his friends, seeking advice princi- , pally to learn whether he really . has a chance to be elected or whether he is just being kicked into the race to satisfy some few with political axes to grind. , As an attorney, he feels he should ' seek some such legal post, such as * superior court judge or prosecutor or county treasurer He finds, liow- ‘ ever, that all these places are be- ; ing sought already by persons who ’ are his friends and against whom he will not run, or by persons who have the same support he would * seek. Such is the political perplexity of Henry O. iHemiei Goett.

Mothers and other women with children in Bordeatown, N. J., are practicing pistol shooting to be prepared against kidnapers. Pictured here at target practice at the Bordentown military academy range are Miss Margaret Landon (left) and Mrs. Paul Holzbauer. Looking on are Dickie Barrick and Marcia Holzbauer.

Bordentown, N. J., Matrons Set to Defend Homes and Children. by MARY MARGARET M'BRIDE Times Special Writer. Bordentown, n. j., March 9. A little group of devoted young mothers in this historic old town have fired a series of shots which, if they are not heard quite round the world, may at least resound to the farthest corner of the United States before the echoes die away. Under the tutelage of Lieutenant Harry W. Barrick, professor of military science and tactics at Bordentown Military Institute, the determined matrons are learning to handle firearms properly in order to protect their homes and children against outbreaks of lawlessness general in this country just now. The women are acting on a suggestion made recently by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt that mothers should arm themselves against kidnapers. Hopewell Is Near By Although the scene of the most terrible child-snatching tragedy of this generation, Hopewell, is only about twenty-two miles away, the dozen or more members of Lieutenant Barrick's training squad are not so much worried about kidnapers as about other types of prowlers. “We are not rich enough for our children to be in real peril from fiends whose objects is ransom,” said grav-eyed, bobbed-haired Mrs. Paul Halzbauer, mother of four. “A1 the same, the peace and happiness of every home, however humble, is menaced by the gangs of petty thieves and marauders that seem to be everywhere these days. Usually they are cowards and a shot in the air will send them flying. Recalls Previous Scares “But the point is, you have to know about firearms even to fire a shot in the air successfully, otherwise you may hit goodness knows what. I’ve had scares when I’ve been home alone with my small

children and I can tell you it u r ould have been a comfort at such times if I’d had a revolver handy and had known how to use it intelligently. I for one am going to stay in the class as long as it’s held and between sessions, I expect to practice shooting ■with my oldest boy down cellar!” Whether, as now seems likely from inquiries that have poured in from other towns and cities, women elsewhere take up target'practice his class will go on. Lieutenant Barrick asserted. “Bordentown has never been afraid to make history,” he pointed out, proudly, and as proof Indicated the rambling brick house where Francis Hopkinson, signer of the Declaration of Independence, once lived, and the tiny red schoolhouse where the famous Clara Barton founded one of the first public schools in New Jersey. Some Women Experts “This idea that women can’t shoot straight is so much poppycock, ’’ the lieutenant continued. “With practice, some of them become expert. That is shown in the national rifle matches. There the women shoot right along with the men, and at the last one, a 45-year-old woman went through the preliminary course of instruction with her husband and qualified for a medal in the first 132. “Since between 1,200 and 1,400 are entered, among them at least 400 of the best shots in the army, navy and marine corps, you can see what that means. It has been simply a matter of custom that women haven’t taken up shooting. There’s no reason why it should be any harder for them than for men. Firearms No Menace “Another notion that needs to be punctured is the common one that firearms are necessarily a menace in the home. They are so only when handled unintelligently. Under the same circumstances, an automobile is a menace, too. “The first rule in handling firearms is safety. Never point a gun at any one unless you wish to hit him. Never monkey with a gun un-

less you have opened the cylinder, or in the case of an automatic pistol, drawn back the slide and looked into the chamber to be sure that the weapon is not loaded. “Never load until you are ready to fire, and when loading, stand facing the target. Then aim and fire at once or else unload.” Lieutenant Barrick, who has won medals and been on many cup-win-ning teams, thinks pistol shooting looks harder than it is. “There are two main points to watch,” he cautions. “Aim correctly and squeeze the trigger steadily insteady of jerking it suddenly. In holding the arm out, point naturally and watch the front sight. ‘‘As for how to behave when a burglar comes, be governed by circumstances. if you wake up and find he has the drop on you, don’t reach for your gun. You will probably get shot. But if you hear him downstairs or in the next room, get your pistol ready and try firing in the air. Ten chances to one, jhe will run, for he has a guilty conscience.” Lieutenant Parrick’s first feminine pupil was his wife. The couple have four children. “Like all regular army people, we are stationed sometimes in territories where there is danger,” he explains. “I fell safer about my family and my wife feels safer because she has a revolver and the knov/ledge of how to use it.

First Bock Beer Since Repeal Offered in City

Indiana Breweries Produces Full Bodied Beverage for Spring Use. Arthur L. Lyon, master brewer for Indiana Breweries, Inc., has produced the first bock beer for the brewery. This is the first time since prohibition that bock beer has been on sale. In the old days it was the custom to sell such beer at Easter time. According to Mr. Lyon, the beer was a springtime tonic, and it was the habit of brewmasters in German cities to offer the beer as a special treat at Easter time. In the old days bock beer was made during the entire year and stored for the following spring. As each vat of beer was drawn off the settlings, which comprised about one-tenth of the total, was stored in kegs. During the aging of beer the heavier parts settled to the bottom. This lower layer of beer was dark and thicker than the other brew. Because of its age and materials, the beer contained more alcohol than the regular beer. The Germans called this brew bock beer and advertised it with a picture of a buck ram. This name was chosen because of the butting characteristics of the ram.
