FIGHT ATTEMPT ; TO REAPPORTION STATECOUNTIES Rural Legislators Again to Oppose Bill Prepared for House. Marion County probably would gain one Representative and a “halfEenator" if the legislative reappor- j tionment bill to be introduced in j the House of Representatives is en-; acted. , Introduction of the bill will mean a resumption of the old battle between the rural and suburban communities. Drafting of the bill is in the hands of Rep. Martin Downey <D, Hammond), and other members of the Lake County delegation. They are carrying on the work of former Rep. Chnn Ellyson, who was a s f aunch advocate of legislative re- i apportionment because he felt that j under the present representation, the rural districts are “chiseling" the larger counties. There has been no legislative reapportionment since 1921, although the Indiana Constitution is clear on the point. It specifically provides that apportionment of the representative and senatorial districts shall be strictly on the basis of an enumeration of male voters and that such an enumeration shall be made every six years. The Indiana Constitution fixes i the number of Senators at 50 and the number of Representatives at 100, so any cains the urban communities would make under a reapportionment would be at the expense of the rural districts.

Rural Districts Hostile Naturally, the rural districts do not care for this, so their Representatives have been abrogating the Constitution for years by sheer force of numbers. Rep. Downey has not yet drawn up his bill, but, if the bill introduced two years ago by Rep. Ellyson is used as a model. Lake and St. Joseph Counties would be the largest gainers in any shift in representation. Lake County now’ has five Representatives and a joint Representative. St. Joseph has three Representatives and would have been increased to five under the Ellyson bill which failed. Marion County's eleven Representatives and Joint Representative would have been increased one. Allen County’s three and a half would have been increased to four and a half. , Gains Would Be Small Actually, the gains for the urban districts would be comparatively small under any reapportionment legislation, but Representatives from the rural districts are expected to fight any such move vigorously. Two years ago at a Democratic caucus of the House, the Representatives from the rural districts figuratively sat back on their haunches and defied the members from the urban districts to do anything about reapportionment. Asa result the Ellyson bill, in which manv other urban district Representatives joined, was defeated. So was a House Joint Resolution setting reapportionment forward to 1939, Old Threat Is Recalled Even if the rural district Representatives decide to pay any attention to the Constitution and accede to a demand for reapportionment. the changes will be slight as noted above. There was a great deal of talk, perhaps meaningless, in the session two years aeo, to the effect that a warning would br given to the administration to lend its support to rea pport ionment. It was said that the Representatives and Senators from such populous counties as Marion. Lake, Vigo, Allen. St. Joseph. Vanderburgh, Delaware, Madison and others might join together in blocking pet administration measures unless they were given support on reapportionment. Nothing along this line has been said in the present session, however. •ALFALFA BILL' MAY BE NAMED TO TRADE POST Ex-Governor 3lentioned for Job in South America. (Copyright. 1935. bv United Press!

Finds Family of Four Needs $14.30 Weekly Juvenile Court Investigator Reports on Amount Required to Furnish Barest Necessaries.

BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Time* Staff Writer THE contention that a working man with a wife and two children must earn a wage of sl4 30 a week to live independently was advanced today by Benjamin C. Reed. Special Investigator for Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler, with an imposing array of figures to back his contention. Basing his budget upon interviews with members of the laboring classes, who are brought into Juvenile Court for failure to provide adequately for their children, Mr. Reed, an attorney, carefully checked over each absolute necessary. “I choe a family of four," Mr. Reed said, “because, without two children, the marriage would be bankrupt, and more than two children would place an extra burden upon society."

Scraping down the budget to the lowest possible point, Mr. Reed lists as the weekly expenditure: Clothes, $1.25; rent, $3.75; groceries including laundry and toilet supplies, $6; milk, SI; gas, 50 cents; light, 50 cents; coal, sl, and water. 30 cents. Excluded from the budget are provisions for furniture, barbering, car fare, tobacco, dentist, doctor, cosmetics, school books, newspapers, church contributions, lodge dues, charity contributions, radio, telephone, automobile and life insurance. a it a MEMBERS of this hypothetical family must cut their own hair, walk wherever they go and never have any outside entertainment. If the family should buy a radio or a car on the installment plan, somebody else will have to pay the bills, Mr. Reed said. The family must remain in good health to stay within its budget, aeeording to Mr. Reed. Chief among those things which the hypothetical family can not afford are church contributions and lodge dues, Mr. Reed pointed out. For the father and son, Mr. Reed prepared a clothing budget. Both the father and son in a year's time could have each one suit, $10; one pair of shoes. $3; two pairs of overalls, $1; two suits of underwear, $1; one cap. 50 cents; belt or suspenders, 50 cents; five pair of- socks, 25 cents, and two shirts, SI. The total is $17.25 each. nun THE clothing budget for the mother and her daughter provides that each shall have one dress, $3; one house dress, $1; underwear, $1; one pair of shoes,

Beware of Colds NOW! With Flu in the Air Colds Are Doubly Dangerous OLDS—always treacherous—are doubly dangerous now, with flu reported in many sections. Colds lower body strength and often pave the way for flu and other serious ills. Heed even the slightest sniffle as a danger signal. It’s no time to take needless chances. The safest course to follow is that outlined in the famous Vicks Plan for better Control of Colds. The Plan’s effectiveness in helping its followers to greater freedom from colds has been clinically tested by practicing physicians—and proved in every-day home use by millions. Full details of the Plan are in each Vicks package. Briefly, it is this: TO HELP PREVENT COLDS: At the first ' sniffle, sneeze or nasal irritation—quick! —use Vicks Va-tro-n01... a few drops up each nostril. The timely use of Va-tro-nol helps to prevent many colds—and to throw off other colds in their early stages. TO HELP END A COLD: If a cold has developed, or strikes without warning, vigor- r ous measures are necessary. At bedtime rub on Vicks Vapoßub, the modern external treatment for colds. Its double direct action —by Stimulation and Inhalation—soothes inflamed membranes—loosens phlegm—eases the breathing—helps break congestion. (NOTE—FOR ADDED PROTECTION: When flu is in the air. it' is a wise precaution to gargle, night and morning, with Vicks Voratone Antiseptic. Voratone thoroughly cleanses the oral cavity, and aids in defense against infection which enters through the mouth.) Follow Vicks Plan for better CONTROL of Colds

$3; one hat, sl, and hosiery, $2. The total is Sil each. The budgets do not provide for any overcoat or dress shirts. Mr. Reed added $8.50 to the total budget, raising it to $65. This was done, he explained, to take care of an emergency. If the winter became bitterly cold it would be absolutely necessary to buy some heavier clothes, Mr. Reed explained. For a family in even poorer circumstances, Mr. Reed prepared a budget with $52 alloted for clothing. The weekly budget provides $1 for clothing, $2.50 for rent, $6 for groceries, 50 cents for coal and 15 cents for oil. Even on this reduced budget, according to Mr. Reed, the laborer must work 30 hours a week, 52 weeks a year at 35 cents an hour. On the low budget, Mr. Reed said that the family would probably have to be aided by charity. Mr. Reed said that even in peak prosperity times a large portion of the laboring classes in Indianapolis did not make $14.50 a week, the wage set by President Roosevelt as a minimum.

to carry them over the vacation period. A- great many of them do not save and consequently run up bills whose demands tie up their salaries when they start in the fall. The bill prepared for introduction would distribute teacher salaries over 12 months and, while the monthly checks during the school terms naturally would be smaller, the teacher would be drawing some money during the entire year as any other worker on salary does. The choice of accepting the distributed salary or continuing under the present part-year payments would be optional with the teacher. Englewood Masons to Meet Englewood Lodge, No. 715, Free and Accepted Masons, will hold its next regular meeting at the lodge hall, 2716 E. Washington-st, at 7:30 Tuesday, Feb. 5. Charles F.
