STATE BOARD TO APPEAL JUDGES' SALARY VICTORS Jurists Can’t Collect for Past Services, Is View of Zoercher. The State Tax Board is to appeal the. ruling of a special circuit judge granting nine Marion County judges and one former judge $28,159 in back: salaries, Philip Zoercher, tax board chairman, announced today. The declaratory judgment was handed down yesterday by Special Judge Albert L. Rabb. Mr. Zoercher said he would ask the Attorney General to prepare a motion for anew trial, and, if it was overruled, would appeal the case to the Indiana Supreme Court. Claim They Waited Too Long The position of the commissioners is that the judges can not collect now for services performed in the past, and that good budget practice provides that each year should pay for itself. "The remedy of the judges at the time their salaries were cut was to file a mandamus action," Mr. Zoercher said. John Linder, county attorney, contested the action, saying that a constitutional amendment, voted on in 1926 and upheld by the Supreme C>>urt, prohibits increases in term or salary for any officeholder while in office. The increase was in effect from 1927 until 1933 when the County Council reduced the county's share to $4350. Since the state pays $4200, the judges’ salaries were thus reduced to $8550. Auditor Directed to Pay Charles A. Grossart, county auditor, was directed to pay the back money due the judges, and to pay the SIO,OOO salary as of Jan. 1. Judge Rabb ruled: "This statute ran be harmonized with the constitutional limitation by reading it as applicable only to officers thereafter elected or appointed." The suit was brought by Earl R. Cox, Circuit Court judge, for all the judges, against the Board of County Commissioners. John S. Newhouse, Board president, would not comment on the ruling. The judges benefited and the amount to be received are: Mayor Kern, former Superior judge, $2900; Judge Cox, Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, Superior Judges Joseph R. Williams, William A. Pickens, and Clarence E. Weir, Probate Judge Smiley N. Chambers, and Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler, $3451 each; Superior Judges Joseph T. Markey and Herbert E. Wilson, $551 each.

Moore of the Purdue farm management department are to speak at a farm management conference for Marion County farmers Friday in the Washington.

Never Gul a Corn ts yon are troubled with corns or callouses. do not run the risk of hlnod poison by paring them. Statistics show that many infections have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of paring corns. Simply so to your druggist and get some Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callous. The pain promptly disappears and in a short time the corn or callous will loosen and lift off easily—root and all -leaving the surrounding skin in a healthy, normal condition. This, together with the fact, that Ice-Mint quickly oases such troubles as sore, tired, aching, puffed or burning feet and make them cool, easy and comfortable, Is probably the reason for the hearty endorsement given it by druggists. To rid one's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or palnfni callouses in such a pleasant and safe way, makes it seem the height of folly for anyone to pare a corn and people are warned to stop it. —Advertisement.

S., STUDENT SAYS Arms Embargo Responsible, De Pauw Graduate Declares. By United Press GREENCASTLE, Ind.. Feb. 12. Drama and opera of nations declaring sanctions against Italy have been banned by the Italian government, according to Sexon Humphreys, De Pauw University graduate now studying at the University of Rome. “No American play by an American playwright has appeared on the Italian stage since last September, when the United States took the lead in declaring an arms embargo against Italy,” Mr. Humphreys said. Shakespeare and Shaw still are permitted, despite the British embargo, Shaw because he once wrote a letter criticising the British government for enforcing its sanctions against Italy, and Shakespeare because he frequently used Italian themes.

End Bad Cough Quickly, at One Fourth the Cost Home-Mixed 1 No Cooking! Easy! Millions of housewives have found that, by mixing their own cough medicine, they get a much more effective remedy. They use a recipe which costs only one-fourth as much as ready-made medicine, but which really has no equal for breaking up distressing coughs. From any druggist, get 2% ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and add granulated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. The syrup is easily made with 2 cups sugar and one cup water, stirred a few moments until dissolved. No cooking needed. It’s no trouble at all, and makes the most effective remedy that money could buy. Keeps perfectly, and children love its taste. Its quick action in loosening the phlegm, helping clear the air passages, and soothing away the irritation, has caused it to be used in more homes than any other cough remedy. Pinex is n concentrated compound of Norway Pine, famous for its soothing effect on throat membranes. Money refunded if it doesn’t please you in svery way. —Advertisement.
