CRISIS NEAR AS ARMIES CLASH IN GRANCHACO Paraguayans, Routed, Rally in Desperate Attack Against Foe. BY T. P. FARRELL United Press Staff Corresoondent (Copyright, 1934. by United Press) BUENOS AIRES, May 25. —Paraguayan shock troops, haggard and worn after huge losses in six days of almost continuous fighting, hurled themselves stubbornly today against a wall-like Bolivian line in the Gran Chaco jungle. Bolivian officers claimed the Paraguans had suffered 6,000 casualties in the battle.Rallying from one of the most severe defeats of the two years’ war, the Paraguayans repelled a Bolivian counter-attack and sought to renew their offensive. The most reliable dispatches indicated that total casualties were around 6,000 killed and wounded. The Bolivians had taken more than 1,000 prisoners. There was indication that the battle might prove the decisive one of the war. The Paraguayans, dour fighters, with a military tradition from their five years’ war of the 1860’s that rivals that of the Spartans, seemed ready to go the limit. In their ranks were grandsons and great-grandsons of the men who fell in that war when Paraguay, fighting the combined armies of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, began with a population of 1,337,439 and emerged with a total of only 221,379. Os the survivors 28,746 were men, 106.254 women and 86,079 children. Some of their regiments were made up of boys of from 12 to 15 years. Women were used as beasts of burden. Today they had seasoned men and modern arms. Their commander-in-chief, General Jose Felix Estigarribia, is French-trained. Against the Paraguayans, was a Bolivian army of mixed, seasoned and new men. At the beginning of the battle last week-end the Paraguayans, flushed with months of success, planned a French flanking movement. The Bolivians, using German defense methods, repelled them and almost annihiliated the Sauce, Acavera and the Dos de Mayo regiments. They advanced until the Paraguayan cavalry, fighting a rear guard action as the main body retreated. passed through Paraguayan engineer regiments. Here the Paraguayans rallied. A proud dispatch from Asuncion, Par'enayan capital, described the figh' ng—hand to hand and to the death.

Look further than just the price per HOI’SE PAINT gallon. Consider how well it covers, wovnrewHrti how far it spreads and how long it lasts. Quality and economy can be judged only after the paint is applied and subjected to exposure. Cheap, short-lived paint is costly at any price. You really save money by using COMMANDER HOUSE PAINT It gives unfailing protection against rot and decay; it possesses maximum covering, beauty and service. These qualities far outweigh the price per gallon. For the outside of the house, for the interior walls, floors and furniture —for everything in and about your home, there is a Commander paint or a Pratt & Lambert varnish or enamel especially designed to do that particular job better—to insure the utmost in beauty, durability and economy.

ANTEDATE CIVIL WAR Millersville Masons Started in 1852

This is the twenty-first of a series of histories of Masonic blue lodges in the Indianapolis jurisdiction which is being publshed weekly in The Times. Another will be published next week.

MILLERSVILLE lodge No. 126, Free and Accepted Masons, was granted a dispensation to organize on March 3, 1852, authorized by the Indiana grand lodge and signed by A. C. Downey, most worshipful grand master, who later became chief justice of the Indiana supreme court. First members authorized to work in the lodge were William J. Milliard Jr., worshipful master; Jonah F. Lemon, senior warden, and Jacob Spahr, junior warden, “together with all such brothers as are now or may hereafter, become members of a regular lodge of Free and Accepted Ancient York Masons.” Other members of the original lodge were Hiram Haverstick, William Bacon, William R. Deford, J. Nesbit and William J. Milliard Sr. They held their meetings at the home of Mr. Milliard Jr., “in the village of Millersville.” On May 25, 1852, Grand Master Downey issued a charter to Millersville lodge and on May 29 the lodge met to confer the master Mason degree, its first work under the charter, which was signed by Mr. Downey, H. C. Lawrence, deputy grand master; M. C. Brown, senior grand warden, and Frank Emerson, junior grand warden, and attested by Francis King, grand secretary. Election of officers at this meeting resulted as follows: Mr. Milliard Jr., worshipful master; Jonah F. Lemon, senior warden; John L. Brown, junior warden; Jacob Spahr, treasurer; William Winpenny, secretary; Hiram Haverstick, senior deacon; Mr. Milliard Sr., junior deacon; James W. Brown, steward and tyler. The first meeting place of the lodge was on the third floor of the Winpenny mill, a- flour mill located on the banks of Fall creek. The lodge room could be entered only by climbing a a ladder, and it was lighted, according to the minutes, by coal oil lamps, fuel for j which the lodge paid 80 cents a j gallon. This price steadily declined until it finally reached 7 cents. During the summer of 1853 William Winpenny erected a two-story frame building on the west side of the main highway through Millersville for the use of the lodge. The lodge room was located on the second floor of this building. On Wednesday, Oct. 26, 1853, the new home was dedicated in an address by Thomas A. Lynch. The minutes do not indicate to what lodge Mr. Lynch belonged, nor do they disclose the date of the first meeting of Millersville in the new temple. # tt tt THE early records of the lodge also are silent concerning the opening of hostilities between the Confederacy and the Union. First notice of the Civil war is shown in the records of the meeting of Jan. 31, 1863. Four Millersville members served with the Union forces. They were James B Beard, Thomas A Fisher, James Thomas Hunter and Lewis Y. Newlin. Mr. Beard was killed in action at the battle of Vicksburg. Appropriate resolutions were passed commemorating this unhappy event. On June 3.1865, a motion was carried to remit the dues for all members of the lodge serving in the Union armies. On March 28, 1863. the lodge had granted permission to the Millersville Ladies’ Soldiers Aid Society to hold regular meetings in the temple. Millersville lodge received its first title in fee simple to its original temple by deed from Napoleon B. Taylor on Oct. 22, 1862. The lodge celebrated its fiftieth anniversary on May 24, 1902. On this occasion two lineal descendants of John Negley, Harry E. Negley and John S. Miller, received the master Mason degree, which John Negley had received in the second year of the lodge’s existence. Many Masons from Indianapolis and vicinity attended, most notable of whom were Charles A. Bookwalter, then mayor of Indianapolis, and Major Henry T. Conde, a prominent member of Mystic Tie lodge. Among the lodges represented at the anniversary celebration were Marion. Hartford, Keystone, Southport, Mystic Tie, Oriental, Pentalpha and Logan.

MILLERSVILLE thereafter pursued the even tenor of continued growth in membership and in the esteem of the community. In 1923 active steps were undertaken to erect temple in keeping with the growth of the lodge and the community in which it is located. This movement finally resulted in a resolution to sell the old site and purchase another in the immediate vicinity of the town. The site of the present Millersville Masonic temple is located one-fourth of a mile east of the old temple on what is now known as the Millersville pike and what in pioneer days was known as’ the Pendleton state road. It was entered from the federal goiiernment by Philip Ray on June 26, 1821, and patent was issued to Mr. Ray little more than a year later. It was deeded by Philip Ray to Peter Negley, an early Millersville settler, in 1825, and that deed conveyed to Mr. Negley 240 acres of land for which he paid S3OO. After passing through various hands the site was conveyed by warranty deed to James M. Norris. John E. Colwell and Guy L. Roberts as trustees of the lodge. They turned the deed over to the Millersville Masonic Temple Association. Ground for the new temple was broken on March 21, 1925, and thus the old temple, which for more than three-quarters of a century had served as a meeting place and com-

REPEAL OF OLD IAX LAW ASKED BY MOTOR CLOB

Obsolete Measure Requires Costly Inspection of Gasoline.

Hoosier Motor Club in a statement today announced that an obsolete law, dating back to 1881, by which Indiana motorists are taxed half a million dollars a year for “oil inspection,” is on the club’s legislative program- for repeal. Application of the law today was decried by Todd Stoops, secretarymanager of the club. “During the kerosene lamp days,” said Mr. Stoops, “it was deemed wise and expedient to test illuminating oil for its explosive qualities, and it might be well to continue to test illuminating oil to see if it will explode, but why test gasoline? “Gasoline must explode to be of

any use in an automobile and since the motor car has been in common use for more than thirty years, every one is aware that gasoline is dangerous under certain conditions. Now, however, it seems a useless gesture to hire men, at the expense of the motorist, to test gasoline and then mark it “dangerous” because it will explode. Tests made by scientists prove that color effects are as follows: Red and orange stimulate, deep yellow cheers, green has a slowing effect and white induces irritation.
