Mrs. Nicholson Suspects ‘Gag’ in Secretary Post Woman Legislator Accepts Committee Job When Assured She Can Do ‘Plenty of Talking.’ Mrs. Roberta West Nicholson (D.. Indianapolis), only woman member of the House of Representations, intends to do "plenty of talking - ’ in the meetings of the Public Morals Committee of which she is a member.

Mrs. Nicholson so informed her colleagues when she was placed in nomination for the position of committee secretary. She feared acceptance of the position would deprive her of the right to give expression to what she termed very definite ideas. Chairman of the committee, the Rev. Morris H. Coers ID., Indianapolis), and other members assured Mrs. Nicholson she would be given all the time she wanted for exposition of her views on any matter coming before the committee. Important legislation to be considered includes reorganization of the state liquor control, for which Gov. Paul V. McNutt has recommended a non-partisan control board. Mr. Coers, explaining his attitude toward liquor legislation, asserted he considered a radical dry as dangerous in the consideration of regulatory legislation as a radical wet. He gave assurance of his efforts to work out a suitable program. Committee meetings are to be open to the press, Mr. Coers announced.

Be Sensible about the FLU

With every epidemic of influenza comes an epidemic of advice. But if you have the flu —or you even suspect its presence—there’s just one thing to do. Call a doctor immediately. There are, however, iome simple and sensible precautions everyone should take at this time. Try to keep in good physical condition. Guard against colds or sore throat by avoiding contact with all coughers and sneezers. The germs of disease will often fasten upon the man of woman whose vitality has been lowered by a severe cold.

PROPOSES CHANGE IN TEXT BOOK LAW 1 Senator Watson’s Bills Offer Wider Choice. Two bills to amend the present uniform textbook law were introduced yesterday in the Senate by Chester K. Watson (Ft. Wayne). The bills propose that the State Board of Education pick four textbooks in each subject and for each grade in both common and high schools. The present statute provides only one text to be used by all schools for a five-year period. The amendment also provides that only one of the four texts may be dropped at the end of the five years. Only the least-used text of the four could be replaced. Local school units would be held to their choice of texts until the book was dropped from the list by the state board. Salesmen would be prohibited from soliciting the school units unless invited. OFFICERS RE-ELECTED E. L. Carr Again Named President of Contractors* Unit. The Sheet Metal.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PROPOSED GAME LAW STATUTES GETFREE REIN Committees of Senate and House 0. K. ,17 of 19 Measures. Committees on Natural Resources in both the House and Senate yesterday reported favorably on ail but two of the 19 conservation bills placed in their hands last Friday. Apparently spurred on by the example of the House group in the morning, the Senate committee met later in the day and made quick work of nine measures. The tenth, a bill to separate the fish and game licenses and charge $1 for each, was held for further consideration. Five new conservation acts were introduced in the afternoon session of the Senate. The Discretionary bill proposes to give the Conservation Department power to abridge or suspend open seasons or bag limits in those sections of the state where conditions warrant. Open seasons and bag limits now can not be increased, but can only be decreased. A season can not be closed less than five years in any locality. Another bill provides for revocation and denial of hunting and fishing license where the holder is convicted of violation of the fish or game laws. The offending sportsman may be refused anew license for a term not exceeding two years. Four amendments of the present statutes would prohibit the pitchforking or snaring of carp, suckers and garfish between sunset and sunrise; reduce the length limit of large and small mouth bass from II to 10 inches; make it unlawful to buy or sell game fish, whether taken in the state or shipped into the state; prohibit the sale of purchase of any wild rabbit, and provide a possession limit of 20 rabbits at one time.

Other acts would amend the present law to allow shooting of cock pheasants and Hungarian partridges at discretion of the Conservation Department, and enable the Federal Government to establish forest preserves in Indiana. Poll Tax Measure A bill designed to give wide powers to county commissioners in granting exemptions from poll taxes was introduced yesterday in the Senate by Walter Vermillion (D., Anderson). At first glance the measure seems to be just another benefit for disabled United States war veterans. It reads, in part: "The board of commissioners of

This story, fresh from the vivid pen of VIDA HURST, is one that every woman will enjoy, for it is the story of a woman in love —her trials, her sacrifices, her moments of exquisite happiness. Golden-haired Treasure McGuire, who looks like an angel, but who dances the tango with mysterious grace and abandon, is the heroine. She scorns the love of fiery Carlos Bermuda, of kind Oliver Keith, of domineering Rudolf Molinari, but gives her heart to youthful, adoring Anthony Molinari. They marry secretly and spend a glorious week at Lake Tahoe. But on their return to San Francisco, bitterness and distrust tear them apart. Happy, carefree Treasure is faced with problems that sweep girlhood away forever and change her into a woman fighting for the man she loves. Don’t miss “Tango”... a story as interesting and exciting as the dance which gave it a name. * Starting THURSDAY in The TIMES
