WOMAN RAIDER FLAYS EUROPE'S NARCOTICSTAND Old World Countries Fail to Co-Operate, Agent Tells Legislators. Most of the narcotics used In the United States have been smuggled in from Europe, because European countries have not pla’ ed fair with the international agre a ments, Mrs. Elizabeth Bass, Chicago, famed woman narcotic supervisor of the Ninth Federal district, said here yesterday. Mrs. Bass, an appointee of President Roosevelt and director of many important narcotic raids, came here for an appearance before the state Senate committee on the uniform narcotic act to urge passage of a bill which would make Indiana laws uniform with those in Illinois and Wisconsin, also in her territory. “The United States is doing the only important work in the world in eliminating narcotic traffic; Europe is not playing fair with the international agreements.” Mrs. Bass, a charming, white-haired woman, said. Mrs. Bass explained that Japan has brought German ch -mists into Manchukuo to encourage peppy growing there and that China now is Importing vast amounts of opium from Persia. Asked if she had participated in many big raids, Mrs. Bass said shrewdly: “So they say." Laughingly she told of a reporter in Chicago w’ho had asked where she carried her revolver and had refused to believe that she was never armed: t “I simply don’t use a weapon; I don’t like them,” Mrs. Bass said. “The life is arduous, pleasant and exciting, but the only contacts I have with criminals are the human derelicts w>e use as informers,” the i woman agent declared. She praised the present Indiana narcotic law as very effective. GAME CLUB SEES~FILM Conservation Department Movie Is Feature of Session.

BUS SAFETY BILL IS WITHDRAWN BY COERS Fears Manufacturing Monopoly, Is Representative’s Explanation. Fearing that the safety school bus bill would create a monopoly on the manufacturing of bus bodies, Rep. Morris H. Coers (D., Indianapolis) ' yesterday withdrew the measure from the House. Two similar bills previously were killed in the House Education Committee for the same reason. All of these bills would have provided that , school busses used after 1940 be equipped with safety glass and have steel bodies. Rep. Coers indicated that a fourth bill, which would not have the objectionable monopoly feature, might be introduced later in the session.

House Asks Congress to Improve State Harbor Urge Steps to Increase Use of Indiana’s Only Free Port of Entry, Michigan City. Possibility of Congress giving Indiana a shipping harbor for large cargo boats and at the same time ending for ail time the pollution of beach resorts along Lake Michigan, near Michigan City, was seen today in a concurrent resolution passed by the Indiana House. Rep. Martin T. Krueger, (D., Michigan City) introduced a resolution, which passed by a viva voce vote, to memorialize Congress to improve the state's only free port of entry, Michigan City.

The resolution urged that plans and specifications now on file with the Board of Army Engineers of the War Department be used and that government funds be used. Improvement of the outer basin at Michigan City in addition to increasing the lake tonnage that could enter the harbor is expected to change the government breakwaters in such a fashion that Michigan City’s own sewers would no longer pour pollution upon the city’s beach resorts. Correction of the city’s sewage system has been considered for some time as a means of alleviating the pollution of Lake Michigan. The Indianapolis Times, in a series of stream pollution articles in 1933, pointed out the need for a change in the harbor to end the city's own sewage being directed on to the city's own municipal beach. Among the other new bills introduced in the House were an amendment to the motor vehicle act re-

SKIM MILK TO BE GIVEN STATE RELIEFCLIENTS Allotments Through FSRC to Start Shortly, Says Nutritions. Indiana relief clients soon will receive regular allotments of dry skim milk through the facilities of the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, Mrs. Areva Hadley, nutrition director for the Governor's Commission on Unemployment Relief, announced today. Indiana is one of the first states to receive a supply of this product, which research has shown has health-giving and disease-preventing qualities. Dry skim milk is made from fresh liquid milk through the removal of fat and water. It is a creamy-white powder which contains all the other milk solids of whole milk, and is a concentrated source of protein calcium and phosphorus, rich in Vitamins B and C. “By the use of dry skim milk in cocking and whole milk for drinking, it is possible to bring the total milk consumption to the desired amount in homes where the amount of milk is limited by cost,” Mrs. Hadley said. Relief clients will have to be educated in the use of the new product, GURC officials said. It is soluble in either cold or hot water. One pound of the powder furnishes the same quality of milk solids that is furnished by 4?i quarts of fresh milk. The powdered milk will be shipped to Indianapolis in 200-pound drums and will be repacked in one-pound bags for distribution. The repackaging will joe done by Federal Emergency Relief Administration Labor, and will be handled under tne supervision of the surplus commodities division of the Goevrnor's commission. I. U.

Red-Hot Time They Had With Old Gas Wells Oh Yes, Hoosiers Felt So Good About That NeverEnding Supply They Burned It Up.

BY JOE COLLIER Times Staff Writer BACK in the gay eighties, when every one knew this country's resources never could run out, Indiana went on an extended torch parade. Drilling for oil, they frequently brought in gas wells. And, a gas well in those days 4 was something to make whoopee with. They were promptly lighted and. thereafter, blazed with all the reckless abandon of a three-alarm fire in a paint and varnish factory.

They lighted up the countryside and sent “boom town” fantasies and shadows • over most of the state. So flagrant was this waste of gas, and so frequently did these flambeaux occur that the Lake Erie & Western Railroad, which traversed the area, used a flambeau as a trade mark on the side of its engines and cars. These facts were ferreted out by the State Planning Board of Indiana and presented in its preliminary report issued during this session of the legislature. u n THIS report on a matter of special importance now to Marion County while the Legislative Gas Probe Committee is combing charges of alleged monopolies among pipe line companies which must bring a supply in from other states, less reckless with heir original supply, continues: “In the sixties oil was discovered in Crawford County, but no great development occured until 1885, when gas was discovered in Howard County and in 1887, when oil was found in Tipton County. “Producing wells were developed in 1889 in Vigo County, and in the same year in Wells County. The peak was reached in 1904 when 3766 wells were drilled and 11,339,000 barrels of oil produced. Gas reached a value of $7,255,000 in 1900. The demand for gas in the southwestern counties, where large cities and towns were using natural gas for domestic consumption, has furnished a market tor practically all the gas that can be located in this area. “In other sections, however, conflicting economic conditions have caused good gas pools to be shut in without any market* at all, while nearby towns continue to use the less efficient artificial gas, for which they pay higher rates. It is hoped that some plan can be worked out whereby this valuable resource can be used to best advantage. a * “'T'HE total gas and oil areas of A Indiana,” the report continues, “is 36,354 square miles, of which 309 square miles is under water. Though Indiana once was a large producer of gas and oil,

it is not at present an important factor in the petroleum industry. In 1904, Indiana was second highest producer of oil in the United States, contributing 18.6 per cent of the total domestic supply. In 1927 it ranked but seventeenth and contributed less than 1 per cent. “Asa result of existing conditions, pipe line officials have announced that all collecting lines are to be removed from the old Trenton oil fields of northeastern Indiana, and that no price will be posted for this oil. Much of the pipe already has been taken up.” So goes the short history of Indiana’s flash-in-the-pan gas and oil industry.

BRIDGE HAZARD SIGN INSTALLED Red Lights to Protect Public at Railroad Span Off College-Av.

THE ITCH Prevalent in Indianapolis Go to Hook’s or any good drug store and get a bottle of Gates Sanation Lotion. Guaranteed to stop the embarrassment and discomfort of itch, 60c large bottle.—Advertisement. Minister in Despair With Bad Stomach A story of despair turned to joy is told ay Rev. J. S. Washburn, 4504 Culler Drive, Cleveland, Ohio. He had suffered severely from a stomach ailment, but after trying a stomach specialist’s formula, called Udga, he says he is well and can eat like a normal person. He then recommended the same treatment to a woman parishioner; another stomach sufferer who reports she is wonderfully improved. Thus another letter is added to over 54,000 letters that praise the results of Udga, a stomach specialist’s formula. If acid stomach, indigestion, heartburn, gas pains, belching and other symptoms of excess acidity persist, it’s a warning that you need more thorough medication than baking soda or common tablets or powders. Get Udga at your drug store. One trial must prove quicker, more lasting relief or your money is refunded.— Advertisement.
