LABOR. SOCIAL GROUPS ATTACK OLEO TAX BILL Measure Would Not Hike Butter Sales, Speakers Tell Committee. The third public hearing on the controversial oleomargarine tax btll during the present session of the General Assembly was held before the Senate Finance Committee last Dight. Approved by the House by a 51-‘,o----36 vote, the measure would levy a 5cent tax on each p'Mnd of the butter substitute. Many dairy farmers want the bill passed on the grounds that it will increase consumption of butter. Labor leaders, chanty workers, grocers and representatives of the oleomargarine manufacturers appeared to dispute their contention and argue that a tax on a cheap food product would work a hardship on the persons unable to afford butter. An Indianapolis laborer, father of four, told committee members that the tax would not induce him to buy butter, but simply would make oleo more expensive. Rep. Guy Dausman I R.. Elkhart*, one of the leaders in the fight against the bill when it was in the House, said such legislation is improper and that the House would not adopt the. bill if it were pending there today. Oscar Swank. Orleans, Producers Marketing Association manager, compared the food values of butter and oleornaigarine. Butter is four times more nutritious than oleo, he said.

Chief of Air Service Scripps-Howard Junior Aviator A RE you still with me from yesterday? Remember, three world's speed records had been broken within a few minutes. I had to beat 259 miles an hour. Sunday dawned bright and clear. The motor of my Curtiss racer was warmed up, chocks pulled and off I went . . . this time to 7000 feet. I wanted to stay in the dive as long as possible—and in aoing so almost got into trouble. Hurtling down at 600 feet a second I missed the ground by about 20 feet. Some one had started the crash siren. Up I went again to make four more power dives from 7000 feet • another world's record. Averse speed, 263 miles. I landed my ship, the crowds swarmed around. But there was Brow climbing back into his slyp .... was this guy ever going to get enough? Up he went, and down he came. And another record was set. This time, 265 miles an hour. I made ready to try once more —my last shot at the record. I somehow sensed it was to be my greatest flight. I used a little trick this time. Before starting to dive at 9000 feet I got a run at full speed . . . then over and down. I’ll never forget that dive. The air-speed indicator fluttered. passed the stop mark, started around zero again. The hand on the tackometer ran up to the peg—2 800 revolutions a minute—then snapped back to zero. It wrecked. Down, down I went . . . standing on the rudder bar. The ship quivered, the motor howled —a healthy howl. Then up the other side to 9000 feet and down again for another wild ride . . . back up again for the third dive and another dash. Then one more time over the course. I throttled down, circled over the judges’ stand. Out came a chap with two strips of bunting ... he laid them on the ground. I watched, shouted ... it was a "plus" sign. I had traveled 266 miles an hour—another world's record. A great day. nan QUESTION: What do letters and numerals mean when denoting military planes the Boeing P-26 for example? In this case "P” means Pursuit ship; 26 tells that it is the 26th type of tnat sort of ship developed. Take the Curtiss A-12. .... "A" means "attack,” 12 means that it's the twelfth "attack job brought out. Likewise, "O” denotes an observation plane. League to Act on Gran Chaco By United Pro* GENEVA.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TAX ALLOTMENT SYSTEMRAPPEO Populous Centers to Demand Increase; Mayor Kern at Parley. Efforts to obtain a more equitable distribution of taxes will toe pressed by 20 counties which have 60 per cent of the population. Meeting in the Indianapolis Athletic Club last night taxpayers’ organizations, city officials, and legislators urged that the counties paying the major portion of the gross income tax should receive a larger share of the tax Mayor John V/. Kern pointed out that under the proposed liquor bill the method of tax distribution would mean an increase of 5 cents or more on each SIOO of taxable property. Figures were presented at the meeting showing that the 20 counties represented at the meeting pay nearly $7,750,000 of the state gross income tax and receive but $4,000,000 in return. Under a combination sales and gross income tax the counties would contribute $13,400.000 and receive in return only $6,000,000 for schools.

GAVE DISCOVERY BARES ARTISTRY OF ANCIENT MAN Relics in Spanish Caverns Fill Prehistoric Gaps, Says Excavator. (Copyright, i&35, bv United Press) MADRID, Feb. 27.—Discovery of two prehistoric caves of such importance that no study of prehistoric man in Europe can be made without their inclusion was announced today by Dr. Juan Cabre, director of Cerralbo Museum. They are in Guadalajara province. In them, perhaps 12.000 years ago, men of the Stone Age lived and died. With Dr. Cabre his 22-year-old daughter Encarnacion and his 14-year-old son Enrique penetrated the caves. They were thrilled by the reliefs, paintings and bones, carved artistically after the meat had been gnawed away, with which the caverns were filled. Long Corridors Found Informing the National Artistic Treasufe Foundation of his discovery, Dr. Cabre asked that the caves be made national monuments. One cave Dr. Carbe calls the Casares. It is two and a half miles from Saelices and was found under a Moorish watch tower dating back 700 years, itself an object of interest. For thousands of years the cave had been undiscovered beneath the tower. The second cave, called the Hoz, is six miles from Santa Maria Del Espino. The Casares cave contains confusing corridors, some 850 feet in length. Holy Place Discovered Both caves are rich in wall reliefs, showing horses’ heads and figures of buffalo, rhinoceroses, deer, bulls and birds. In a sort of vestibule to the cave, in which Dr. Cabre believed the troglodites or cave men lived, were bones of animals marked with carvings, also flint that had been used for arms and tools. About 525 feet inside the Casares cave was a large space which Dr. Cabre believes was the holy place of the prehistoric men. Its reliefs were larger, more complicated and of greater artistic merit. There was in the holy place also a realistic figure of a horse’s head and, on a wall, the portrayal of a feline animal measuring four feet in length.

KELLY TRIUMPHS IN CHICAGO ELECTION Leads Smashing Victory of Democratic Party. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 27. Chicago voters gave a spectacular accolade yesterday to Mayor Edward J. Kelly, storming the polls in a blizzard to give him the largest plurality ever won by a candidate for mayor in a Chicago primary. Mayor Kelly was nominated on the Democratic ticket by 479,825 votes, while three opponents rounded up only 39,153 among them and three Republican candidates garnered a total of only 114,429. The result revealed a startling collapse of Republican party strength. Four years ago the G. O. P. polled 635,000 primary votes. The Democratic vote then was only 258,967, less than half yesterday’s strength. The Republican rout extended even into the “gold coast” wards, where G. O. P. has been considered an abbreviation for respectability. OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY SHORTRIDGE CLUB Carter B. Tharp Named President of Press Group. Carter B.

Death Claims Sergt. Cox, Arch Foe of Speakeasy

Retired Police Officer Acquired Fame by Many Raids in Dry Era. William Cox. retired officer of the Indianapolis police force, died last night at his home, 702 Luett-st. He was 74. Heart disease was the cause of death. He is survived by the : widow, Mrs. Mary Cox, and a son, Charles W. Cox. Funeral services will be at 1 Friday in the W. Michigan-st Methodist Episcopal Church, W. Michi-gan-st and Sheffield-av. Burial will be at Centerton, Ind. Sergt. Cox came into civic prominence as a sort of Anthony Comstock of the Indianapolis police force. During the Jewett and Shank administrations, he headed the morals squad, as a lieutenant. Part of his duties were to observe actions of other members of the force to detect infractions, such as drinking on duty. Many an officer was called on the "green carpet” when Lieut. Cox detected the offending odor of liquor on his breath. Six or seven years ago he was placed in charge of one of the two squads assigned to co-operate with the Federal prohibition department. Promptly upon being put on the liquor squad. Sergt. Cox applied himself assiduously to his new duties. He made raid after raid, following his nose to the location of alcohol cookers. No secret panel in any raided speakeasy ever escaped his attention. When he raided and the liquor was hidden even from him, Lieut. Cox would leave as though satisfied he had made a mistake. He would ride around the block and return and raid again, and frequently found the liquor, brought from its hiding place when the own-

Semi-Annual Style Show Held by Ayres Staff 'Dual Personality’ of Clothes Stressed in Exhibit; Downstairs Group Also Enjoys Dinner. “Prettiness without fussiness” was the keynote to spring fashions presented last night in the auditorium of L. S. Ayres & Cos. at the store's semi-annual dinner and style show for employes of the Downstairs Store. The 1935 expression of individuality and wearability was noticeable in the suits, coats, sportswear, afternoon and evening gowns which were modeled.

Miss Elizabeth Prutzman, director of Ayres’ Fashion Bureau, explained new combinations of colors and details of accessories which lifted each ensemble into becoming and dramatic costumes. Sportswear this spring presents a riot of .color with the opportunity of switching accessories so that one costume may obtain wardrobe proportions. This dual personality of clothes is also true in suits which are decidedly big news this spring. The introduction of color into new fashions includes the vivid peasant tones and the Regency pastels. Chaillaux to Speak Homer L. Chaillaux, national Americanism director for the American Legion, will speak on “Americanism” before the Men’s Club of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church Friday night. An audience of 200 is expected.

Hundreds of gallons of liquor, both good and bad was sent down the gutters because of his activities. He was sincere in his fight against whisky. The best evidence of his sincerity in the fight came when he found a police lieutenant and a captain leaving a fruit store that was a front for a speakeasy. He smelled their breaths and detected liquor. His charges resulted in the suspension of both.
