THE INDIANAPOLIS TDIES

In the Book Nook

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN COME into the old-fashioned kitchen of the Miller family on an American farm some place in southern Illinois about 45 years ago. Take a whiff of the home-made bread baking in an old-fashioned wood and coal stove. Don't pass up Ma's big slices of ham in the big iron skillet and be sure and take a look at the supper table with its red and white table cloth, white gleaming coffee cups with Pa Miller's mustache cup at the head of the table. Pa wore a ‘‘sweeping" black mustache and he never shaved it off. Pa had fine table manners, thought Barb'ry, his oldest daughter. Pa didn't drink his coffee out of a saucer like the hired hands and the threshers did. Besides Ma and Pa Miller and Barb'ry there were Bill and Jimmie, still in their 'teens, and Minnie, the baby of the family. You will meet the Miller family in “Long Furrows,” by Dora Aydelotte, and published by D. Appleton Co. ($2). Here is a natural, lovable and beautiful story of farm life days that are only memories now. "Long Furrows” is a masterpiece. # # # THE author has put together no melodrama but simply the triumphs and the failures of everything that grew on a farm. Pa was even tempered and he only got “real mad” about twice in his life. One was when his trusted hired hand got drunk on hard cider, became too feeble to turn off the spigot, and all of Pa's cider was wasted. Pa got so mad he fired the hired man and got another one who wouldn't look at a cider barrel. Pa also got “mad” every four years around “general election time.” A Republican, Pa was sure the whole country would go to the dogs if his party was not in the saddle. The entire family would get into a big wagon with kitchen chairs placed in it and all of them, including the hired hand, would go into town to hear the political spellbinders and then take part in a great and noisy torch light parade. Those were the days when the

Fame in Trinidad Meredith Nicholson Learns of Kin’s Heart Balm Bill in Far-Off Tropics.

By Times Special WASHINGTON, March B.—ln far-away Trinidad, where he stopped en route to Washington, Meredith Nicholson first learned of the fame gained by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Meredith Nicholson Jr., through her bill to outlaw breach-of-promise suits. There he picked up a magazine and read the account (with picture

of Mrs. Nicholson's success in the Hoosier Legislature. Today he related that tale after a talk on the phone with his now-famed Democratic daughter-in-law. The advent here of the noted Indiana author - diplomat was spread in Washington papers today as being the second honeymoon trip for Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson. Just before he left for his post at Paraguay, more than a year ago, the couple were married here. She is also a Hoosier and both are anxious to see Indianapolis once again. They expect to leave here by March 15. CHARGE MOTHER URGED SON TO KILL FATHER 11-Year-Old Boy Admits Shooting His Parent. By United Press BUFFALO. N. Y., March B.—District Attorney Walter C. Newcomb announced today he would seek a first degree murder indictment against Mrs. Elizabeth Kloes, 34, housewife, charging her with inspiring her 11-year-old son, Richard, to kill his father, John, 36. Officials said that serious charges will not be pressed against Richard, who admitted, according to police, that he braced a shotgun against a sofa and pulled the trigger, fatally wounding his father while Kloes was reading a magazine. The boy, however, will be taken before the grand jury to be the principal witness against his mother and then turned over to juvenile court.

Edna Ferber “Come and Get It” is the title of Edna Ferber's new novel which has just been published by Doran & Co. It is a story of old Wisconsin lumber days. entire family, in the dead of winter went to the protracted meeting at the church. And everybody “got religion” some time and marched up the aisle to tell everybody that they “saw the light.” Sometimes it took and sometimes it didn't, but it was repeated each year. The Miller family saw to it that it took as far as their family was concerned. One of the most remarkable scenes in this story is the one describing threshing time. It is masterful handling of a great phase of American farm life. Barb’ry is a character that no one will forget. She has her little problems because she only “went” with two boys in her life. Her romance and marriage to Con Mulligan, a young farmer, is one of the sweetest things in modem fiction.

In the interim. Mr. Nicholson is busy at the State Department, where he is being prepared for his new assignment at Venezuela. Mr. Nicholson, author of 40 books, expects to write some more, he said. But they will not be about the countries where he serves as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. “They may be about Indiana,” he declared.

SENATE PASSES SLOT MACHINE MEASURE, 45-1 Expected Opposition Fades Under Glare of Roll Call Vote. Expected opposition to the Jordan slot machine bill faced last night in the merciless glare of a roll call vote and the measure passed the Senate, 45-1. Only three members took the floor against the measure designed to end the Indiana slot machine racket. Their arguments were not well received by a Senate well aware of reported activities of a powerful gambling lobby. The bill has met little open opposition. but its backers have expressed concern over the impediments and delays it has encountered in both houses. A motion to make the bill a special order of business on Monday, the last day of the session, was shouted down. Senators O. Bruce Lane (R., Bainbridge), Jacob Weiss (D., Indianapolis) and Walter Vermillion D., Anderson) demanded passage of the bill to halt the racket that they charged is taking millions of dollars annually from persons that can ill afford the loss. Senator Leo X. Smith (D., Indianapolis) fought the bill on the ground that present laws are sufficient. He was joined by Senator William B. Janes (D., New Albany), who charged that the bill was an effort on the part of big gambling interests to put slot machines out of business so the “take" can be diverted to their own pockets. Senator Claude Mcßride (D., Jeffersonville) declared the bill "too drastic" and said he would vote against it. "These are just excuses for a No vote,” declared Senator Vermillion. But when the roll was called, Senator Smith was the only member to vote the way he spoke. Townsend Bill Killed So far as the House of Representatives is concerned, Indiana does not want the Townsend oldage pension plan. By a voice vote, the lower house yesterday adopted a committee report to indefinitely postpone a vote on a resolution memorializing Congress to enact the plan. Rep. Joseph W. Patterson (D., Indianapolis), said 72,000 Marion County and 500,000 state residents had asked adoption of the resolution. The plan is impractical. Rep. C. Nelson Bohannon (D., Jeffersonville), committee chairman, declared. Pay Hike Recalled The teachers pay increase bill, strongly opposed recently on grounds of economy, was recalled from the House yesterday, placed on second reading in the Senate and amended to cut the estimated salary boost from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000 annually.
