Four Indianapolis brothers watch with interest the trend of national events in Switzerland, since the election of Rudolph Minger, member of thfe Swiss Federal*Council and chief of the Federal Military Department,

to the presidency. Bearing the same surname, and having come from Switzerland with their parents in 1879, they believe that the new Swiss president possibly is a member of their family. The Indianapolis men are John Minger, 38th-st and Lafayette-rd: Fred Minger, 430 Massachusetts-av; William Minger, 42nd-st and Emer-son-av, and Albert Minger, 3618 N. Capitol-av. Albert Minger bears a strong resemblance to President Rudolpf Minger, both in stature and in facial expression. The family, composed of the father and mother, an aunt and ten children, came to America in 1679, traveling second class. All that the four remaining members recall of their childhood life in Switzerland is the annual visit to the tailor, to measure each member of the family

All you need in materials in The Indianapolis Times drawing lessons is a soft pencil and some paper like typewriter paper, and then' a big smooth board like a drawing board or your mother’s bread board, or a large, smooth book. The final drawings will appear Thursday. Awards will be made before Christmas. Cut out these lessons each day, pavte them in a book, and you will have a drawing oook to keep and show your friends. Do you have some friends who are interested in drawing? Be sure and tell them about these lessons. They will be running in THE TIMES for several weeks. 1. Your set of drawings tor the fourth week (beginning Saturday, Dec. 8, and ending Friday, Dec. 14) must be in The Times office not later than noon, Tuesday, Dec. 18.

for clothing, and the similar visit of the cobbler, who made shoes for the family. The Minger family settled first in Pennsylvania, later coming to Indiana, where the father became a farmer. The sons, now retired, formerly were in the gardening and produce business west of Indianapolis. “There is no way I know to learn whether President Minger is related to us,” Albert Minger said today. “It is possible that he is a cousin, and of course we are interested in the progress of the country under his leadership. We do feel that any any Swiss executive is honored, since the office there seeks the man, rather than the man seeking the office.”
