COLDEST WAVE IN 35 YEARS COMING

BONUS BILL IS PASSED; GOES TO ROOSEVELT House, by Huge Majority, Accepts Senate’s Baby Bond Measure. PAYABLE AFTER JUNE 15 Substitute Is Rushed to Passage Despite Threat of Veto. By ( n ited Pres* WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Congress slammed the $2,237,000,000 soldiers’ bonus bill through the formalities of final passage today and prepared to do it all over if necessary to over-ride a presidential veto. Speaker Joseph Byrns announced the vote as 346 to 58. This compared with a vote of 356 to 59 when the House passed its own bonus bill last week. The House completed action on the measure, providing for payment in baby bonds which may be cashed immediately or held as an investment, when it accepted the Senate method of payment and dispatched the measure to the White House. The overwhelming House majority in favor of the bond bonus emphasized the belief of Congress that it could pass the measure over a presidential veto. This attitude was based on the 74 to 16 Senate vote in favor of the bill. A veto and final vote may come early next week. Senate Bill Substituted. The original House bill, passed with only 56 dissenting votes, called for immediate full cash payment, but failed to specify how the money should be raised. The Senate measure was substituted. The bill that now goes to the President provides for payment in SSO bonds, cashable after June 15, or they may be held, drawing 3 percent interest until 1945, the original time for payment of the adjusted service certificates. The bill provides no means of raising the money to pay the bonus, but as yet there has been no definite indication of whether new taxes will be required. Measure Draws Attack Rep. Robert Rich (R., Pa.) spoke against the bill. He asserted that “The bill provides a gratuity averaging $55 on each certificate. “Our duty today is to the country. not to any minority groups. Our country is in groat danger financially. Where will you get the money?” Rep. John Rankin <D„ Miss.), a long-time advocate of the inflation method of payment said he “hoped that the President would utilize his currency expansion powers to find the money to pay the bonds.” Rep. Hamilton Fish <R„ N. Y.) asserted that the bill would “not impair the soundness of the dollar." POWERS"PLEDGE MUTUAL AID IF ITALY ATTACKS Eden Bares Agreement as League Moves Toward OH Embargo. By United Press GENEVA. Jan. 22.—Anthony Eden. British Foreign Secretary, revealed today that Britain. France, Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey had made an airtight arrangement to give each other armed aid if Italy attacks any of them because of sanctions. Mr. Eden’s revelation came shortly after the League's steering committee of 18 had decided to move toward an oil embargo against Italy by appointing a committee of experts to study whether it could be made effective. Mr. Eden sent a note to Augusto de Vasconcellos, chairman of the committee of 18. explaining details of the conversations which have been held among the Mediterranean powers.

- Strange Case V Julia Craig by Nrd Jo* ** CHAPTER ONE pjER arms pressing two bundles close against her slender waist, and one small capable hand searching hurriedly for the key in her bag, Julia Craig stood before the door of the little apartment which she shared with Amy Sanders. When at last she was successful in managing both the key and the two bulky bundles and had entered the apartment without mishap, Amy looked at her from the security of the room’s one davenport. As dark as Julia was blond, Amy had reached home a few moments before, slipped into her red negligee and settled herself comfortably with a magazine. Julia glared in mock anger. “Didn’t you hear me trying to get in?” “Sure,” said Amy cheerfully. “But I knew you had a key.” “You knew it was my day to bring the groceries, too,” said Julia from the kitchenet where she was disposing of the bundles on the diminutive tile drainboard. “And you knew I'd be loaded down like a truck horse.” Through the open doorway. Amy surveyed Julia’s figure enviously. “You’re a long way from being a truck horse, darling, why don’t you wear that black dress all the time? You’re certainly a swell dish in it.” Julia returned to the room. Taking her smart little hat carefully by its front brim she lifted it from her blond head and tossed it on the table. nun AMY gazed at her critically. “Bad day at the office, Julia?” “No worse than most, I suppose,” Julia said. “Well,” Amy sighed, “at least It’s exciting to work for lawyers. You should try to sell the latest models to these old hens for eight hours a day.” “I'd think it would be interesting, Amy. You get a chance to see in the flesh some of these women I can see only through their pictures in the society section.” Amy snorted. “Personally, I'd rather look at them in pictures. I waited on Mrs. Hamilton Uzzon today. Ever hear of her?” “Os course,” Julia said. “S v .e had a tea for the Garden Club last week.” “Yeah.” said Amy irreverently. “Listen—the Uzzon bill hasn’t been paid at our shop for a year and a half. Mrs. Hamilton Uzzon couldn't buy an extra button in our place unless she paid cash, and all the girls have instructions to that effect. Mrs Uzzon knows it, too —but she comes into the shop with her friends and tries on dresses by the hour. Then when it's all over she says, ‘Really, I think your gowns are getting awfully nondescript.’ ” Julia laughed. “I think that’s delightful!” “Well, if you had to listen to it you wouldn’t have such a nice sense of humor.” Amy mentioned. “And we all have to be nice to her because her husband may pay the bill any minute —and because she has influence.” “That's the whole story,” said Julia reflectively. “You have to be nice to her, because she has influence.” n a AT her roommate’s cynical tone, Amy's dark eyes widened. She tossed the magazine to the foot of the davenport and brought her slippered feet to the floor. “What's got into you Julia ? You’ve been moping for weeks now. You used to be the life of the party when we'd have the gang in. Last time they were here you wouldn’t even sing a song for us. And everybody knows you can maxe a song sound all right, even when the tune isn't so good and the words are absolutely senseless.” “What do you mean, ‘everybody’ knows it?” inquired Julia, getting up restlessly. “Maybe the gang, as you call them, knows it. But nobody elje does.” “Wnat do you care about that?” Julia turned suddenly, her eyes gleaming. “I care a lot. Amy. I'm sick and tired Gs working for Woodford and Brooks.” “It's a good job. Julia. You get a lot more money than I do. A lot more than most girls working downtown.” “What if I do? Where does it get me?” Julia paced to the window and looked out. Then she said, slowly: “I’m 20, Amy.” “I’m 25,” Amy said, “and I'm still having a lot of fun." Julie, turned. “Maybe you are,” she said cruelly, "but it's not the kind of fun I want. Amy, I don't want to be George Woodford's secretary until I'm old. I’ll—l'll be like Miss Jamieson down at the office. She's been there 22 years.” “Maybe she likes it,” said Amy. “Every girl isn't as ambitious as you are. Julia.” “Aren't they?” argued Julia. “I'm not so sure. I think they are—un- • U life gets them down.” AMY SANDERS stared at the carpet a moment. Then: “Julia . you said Peter Kemp (Turn to Page Two)

LONDON CROWD VOWS LOYALTY TO NEW RULER King Edward Watches From Palace as Thousands Swarm Streets. PROCLAMATION IS READ Cannons Boom, Trumpets Blare During Medieval Ceremonies. 111/ United Press LONDON, Jan. 22.—King Edward VIII, already directing the course of empire, watched from a window of St. James’ Palace today while his subjects poured by hundreds of thousands into London’s streets to express their loyalty and devotion. Medieval pageantry prevailed as the proclamation making him King was read to the people at various points in the city, accompanied by the fanfare of trumpets and the booming of cannon. It was a stirring demonstration of loyalty. Men and women cheered the new King and alternately wept for the old one as massed bands played “God Save the King.” King Edward wasted no time in taking over the reins. While the ceremonies were still in progress, he was closeted with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, conferring on affairs of state and arranging for the funeral of the late King George on Tuesday. First Cabinet Session The first cabinet meeting under King Edward’s reign was held at No. 10 Downing-st today with Mr. Baldwin presiding. Although Edward had astonished his subjects by flying to London from Sandringham yesterday—the first British monarch ever to use an airplane—and had been expected to fly back today, he made the trip today by train. The King was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of York and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The King arrived at the station by automobile. Seeing a large crowd waiting outside the barriers, the Ipng removed his derby hat and carried it in his left hand. A red leather case was in his right. He inclined his head slightly in acknowledgement to the eager crowd. Parliament to Take Oath Parliament met today to continue the ceremony of taking oath of allegiance to the new King. The England of history and of the story books, of the Plantagenets and Tudors, was brought back for a day. In the four kingdoms of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, in British dominions, colonies, protectorates, the 41-year-old successor to his father, George V., was proclaimed King and Emperor as “our only lawful and rightful liege Lord Edward VIII.” At 10 a. m. (4 a. m. Indianapolis time) a battery of artillery in Hyde Park began booming out a 41-gun salute, one shot each minute to mark the 41 years of the King’s life A battery at the Tower of London, farther eastward in the (Turn to Page Three) STOCKS HOLD GAINS IN QUIET SESSION Westinghouse and Johns Manville Make New Highs.

Dentist Donates to All Formula Banning Pain

By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 22.—The civilized world (dentally speaking) hailed Dr. Leroy L. Hartman, Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery professor, as its long looked-for benefactor today. He revealed the formula of a chemical discovery which makes the tortuous dentist's drill painless. The substance was given to humanity free of patent encumbrances. The announcement, made before 3000 members of the dental societies of New York, was received by scientists as an epoch-making event in man’s age-old battle against pain.

GIRL BEATEN, LEFT BAREFOOT IN SNOW Suffers From Exposure After Walking Home. Miss Irma Jean Kreps. 17, of 943 Massachusetts-av, is in a semi-con-scious condition today in City Hospital, due to exposure after she had fled barefoot more than a mile to her home after being abducted and beaten at Vermont-st and Pogue's Run last night. Police have no clews. Police were called to the home early today by her mother, Mrs. Herman Kreps. They retraced the girl’s footprints in the snow from her home to Pogue’s Run, where she was struck and her shoes and stockings torn off by her abductor. Miss Kreps, who is a high school junior, assists her mother selling papers at Maryland and Illinois-sts. She started homp at 11:35 p. m. The girl said she missed the newspaper delivery truck which generally takes her home so she walked to East-st and Massachusetts-av, where she heard a dog whining. As she stooped over to pet the dog, she said, someone put a hand over her mouth. She said she tried to scream but was paralyzed by fright. The next thing she remembers she was walking on Dorman-st, on her way home. LAVAL AND CABINET GIVE RESIGNATIONS Premier Forced to Quit by Radical Socialists. By United Press PARIS, Jan. 22—Premier Pierre Laval, chief advocate of keeping France on the gold standard, presented his resignation and that of his entire cabinet today to President Albert Lebrun. The President accepted. Laval was requested by the president to undertake to form anew cabinet, but he refused. Premier Laval acted after four Radical-Socialist members of the cabinet, headed by Edouard Harriot, resigned on demand of the partyexecutive. The real reason for M. Laval’s fall was that the left wing felt he was getting too strong throughout the countiy, and decided on his removal before the coming parliamentary elections. Laval also has played a leading part in the international situation on the Geneva stage.

To the layman it meant the fulfillment of what every dental patient has ardently desired—really painless dentistry. Dr. Hartman's discovery was compared with other historic medical achievements, such as the discovery of the anesthetic property of nitrous oxide in 1844, and the demonstration of anesthesia in surgerywith sulphuric ether in 1846. Coincidentally, both these developments also were made by dentists. Although University Patents, Inc , controlled by Columbia University, holds the basic patent on the sub(Turn to Page Three)

Fine & Sons, Inc., shirt making firm, would ba reached soon. Chamber of Commerce directors here and a citizens committee, however, are making efforts to settle the dispute that has been under way several weeks. Approximately 450 non-union workers returned today for their second day’s work at their sewing machines under Indiana National Guard patrols. Workers in both the Jeffersonville and New Albany plants today flashed blue pasteboards, issued by the company as passes to and from work. Roving guard patrols protected the workers as they re-entered the two plants. No escorts from homes were provided today by the guardsmen. While company officials in the large New Albany plant reported increasing enrollment in their •ranks, labor leaders denied a defection of their adherents. Six men arrested by troopers were released after being questioned, Col. Fechtman reported. SISTERS ARE SLUGGED, ROBBED BY TWO THUGS Scalp Wound Inflicted, Purse Taken, Police Are Told.

COURTRETURNS AAATAX FUND 93 Indiana Firms Share $6,000,000 Under Ruling of Baltzell. The release of approximately $6,000.000 in processing taxes under the invalidated Agricultural Adjustment Administration Act, held in escrow by Will H. Smith, collector of internal revenue he*-e, was ordered today by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. The money will go to 93 Indiana processors who had filed suits asking injunctions against collections.

Judge Baltzell ruled that the money was held as security and that the tax could not be passed on as it was levied specifically against the processors, and that no misrepresentation was made to the bakers by the processors in the price increase of flour. Processors named in the intervening bakers’ suits included the Acme-Evans Milling Cos.; Lawrenceburg Rolling Mills; Sunnyside Milling Cos., Evansville; Nappanee Milling Cos., and the Martinsville Milling Cos.

By United Press The severest cold wave in 35 years descended upon the Middle West today as frigid blasts and temperatures ranging down to 55 below knifed in from the Canadian and m * Alaskan ice fields. The coldest spot in the United States probably was International Falls, Minn., where the bitter arctic wind plunged the mercury to 55 below at 8:30 a. m.

Snow which fell last night was drifting badly in Indiana, Illinois and lowa, impeding all forms of transportation. Chicago had 5 below in the city and suburban Lombard reported 12 below at 9:30 a. m. Citizens of northern lowa also had a 40-mile-an-hour wind io contend with, blowing the cold wave into the southeast, where it is expected to subside.

Heavy Snowfall Brings Serious Tieup in Local Traffic. TAXIS ARE AT PREMIUM 20-Below Temperatures Are Predicted for Northern Indiana Areas. Indianapolis’ worst cold wave in years struck this afternoon with a ferocity that drove the mercury to 6 below zero. A 32-mile-an-hour wind pushed surface snow in whirls over streets. After a heavy snowfall early today, the weather bureau issued a conservative forecast predicting 10 below during the night here and 20 below for northern Indiana. Early this afternoon the mercury hit 10 below at Michigan City. Today the mercury dropped 29 degrees, from 23 at 6 to 6 below by 1 p. m. This afternoon it was expected to slide lower and continue its dive throughout the night. The city and northern part of the state were snowbound, traffic here being hopelessly tangled during tne early rush hours. Two and one-half inches of snow fell in four hours here. Street Cars Are Tied Up Automobile owners derived little pleasure from their slow, skidding trips downtown and many motorists abandoned efforts to fight the snow and slick thoroughfares. Taxicab schedules were far behind, with many regular customers being left in their homes for more than an hour. Street cars were tied up and tractions, busses and trains were behind time, ranging from minutes to hours. Bus drivers bore the brunt of the state situation, battling through snow drifts almost a foot deep on many of the highways. The street car company had sweepers in all parts of the city and street workers were at full force trying to clear downtown intersections. Traffic Is Tied Up Although there were snow flurries j during the night, the heavy fall bej gan at 3:40 this morning. By 8 a. m., snow 2'.L inches deep, covered already icy streets and tied up traffic in this city and the remainder of the state. If the mercury hits 10 below, it will be the coldest since Jan. 25, 1897. J. H. Armington, weather bureau chief, said that the snow extended from south-central Indiana through Michigan and that surrounding states also are expecting severe mercury drops. Northern Illinois has a prediction of 20 to 25 below in the next 24 hours. If this happens, Chicago district records since 1872 will fall. At one time this morning, mot e than a dozen street cars were tied up at Alabama and Washingtonsts. Planes May Be Grounded Airplanes were expected to be grounded here and in other ports during the day, although the ceiling was high after the heavy snowfall stopped. The entire city street cleaning | crew was on the job before 7 this : morning with 50 trucks manned by j 300 men, attempting to clear the | chief downtown thoroughfares. Only last Thursday the city suc- ; ceeded in clearing the holiday | snowfall, and that was followed | over the week-end by more snow and ice. Street officials said that street crews will work all day and night. Work is being directed by Thomas Connor, assistant street commissioner. County roads are in fair shape. The State Highway Commission reports that the Fort Wayne highway district is hardest hit by th snow, where from three to six inches have fallen and are drifting near Waterloo and Goshen. Three to four inches have fallen at Crawfordsville, two to three inches in the Vincennes district. No roads are closed. FEED BIRDS, CLUB ASKS Grain or Suet Will Keep Them From Starving, Group Says.
