STATE-AV DRIVE FOR PAVEMENT WILL CONTINUE Project Impossible Now, Frick Tells South Side Group. Although Works Board members told them It would be Impossible to launch an immediate paving project for 8. State-av from Naomi-st to Troy-av, property owners today felt they had gained ground by bringing the matter to the attention of city officials. “We plan to meet again Tuesday and continue our campaign for this improvement,” Mrs. K. E. Bourfs, president of the State Avenue Civic Club said. “Our members were disappointed because county commissioners failed to attend last night’s meeting. We wanted the county to help us get paving for S. State-av from Troy-av south to State Road 31.” Ernest Frick, Works Board secretary, said two bridges would have to be constructed, and no funds would be available for such work until 1937. He advised them to shelve the paving project temporarily and seek WPA labor for grading and oiling the avenue. Louis c. Brandt, board member, said Mayor Kern was willing to cooperate with the group in seeking the improvement. University Heights Civic Club members also attended the meeting, and organizations went on record as opposing any method in gaining the improvement which would require a special assessment of property owners. They want Federal funds used, they said. FARMING PAYS AGAIN. INCOME TAXES SHOW Internal Revenue Field Man Reports Hoosicr Industry Booming.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Tohr Rran. 19. I> a photographic model. posing for photographs to bo used in advertisement*. Unknown at flrit, the is soon in faith demand in the stodlo*. partirularlr after she ii chosen as "The Hillyer Soap Girl.” Toby sbarrs an apartment with Harriet Holm, another model, entated to marry Clyde Sabin, whom Toby distrusts. Wealthy Tim Jamieaon showers Toby with attentions for a time, and then seems to fortet her. Toby's oldest friend : Is Bill Brandt, who works in an adrertisinc acency. She ia fond of Bill, bat has never thoutht of him romantically. Jay Hillyer. president of the Hillyer company, sees Toby posinr for some phototraph*. He takes her to dinner and later she has several other encasements with him. Toby and Harriet take part in a style show. Harriet, dressed as a bride, is waiting to go on when Toby rememb'.Ti she has a letter for her. She elves Harriet the letter. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY TTARRIET said, “Oh, Toby—!” in a voice that was barely above a whisper. A few moments before she had been a picture of bridal beauty—the loveliest bride, Toby had thought, that she had ever seen. Now Harriet’s face was drenched of color—whiter than the gown she wore or the filmy veil about her shoulders. Her eyes, bleakly bewildered, stared at Toby’s. “What is it?” Toby demanded again. “Harriet, what’s happened?” Instead of answering, Harriet looked at the letter she still was clutching in her hand. "Read it,” she said, holding it out to Toby. It was the letter Clyde Sabin had written.’ Toby took it, hastily read the brief paragraphs. ‘•Dear Harriet: When you get this I will be on my way to California. This morning I was married to Mrs. Lynchfield. You probably remember that her husband, who died last winter, was an officer of the company. “I hope you will not take this too hard, Harriet. My only excuse for not telling you sooner is that I couldn’t bear to hurt you. But I am sure it is really for the best.- I will always think of you as one of the sweetest girls I have ever known and some day I know you will meet someone who will make you as happy as you deserve to be.—Clyde.” 000 HPOBY said, “Oh, darling, I’m so " sorry!” The words sounded trivial and meaningless. Harriet was still standing there, ghostly white. There was no sign of tears in her eyes, no sign of emotion at all in her face except that she pressed her lips together, trying to steady them. “You ought to sit down,” Toby said, putting an arm around her. “Here—l’ll send the maid to get something for you—” But there was no time. Miss Wylie, the director of the style show,* appeared and said crisply, “Is every one ready? Line up, you bridesmaids. Where’s our bride?” She motioned toward Harriet. “You go in last,” she said. “All right now. We’re ready—” Toby turned to Harriet. “But you can’t!” she said. "You can’t go on now. Someone else will have to take your place!” Harriet shook her head. “No,” she said. "I’m all right. I’ll go on.” “But you shouldn’t—” Harriet was not listening. “My

flowers,” she said, turning to the j maid. "Where are my flowers?” 0 0* j A FEW moments later, the bridal bouquet in her arms, she was walking, slowly, steadily out on the stage. Toby was never to forget the picture of Harriet in the glistening satin gown, her lovely gold-red hair beneath the cap of lace and the long veil floating back from her looked more beautiful. Toby’s own heart was pounding and she stole anxious glances at her roommate, but Harriet looked completely calm. She was like that afterward in the dressing room. She took off the wedding gown and got into her street clothes with exactly her usual care She stopped to put powder on her nose and see that the brim of her hat tilted over her eye as it should. Out on the street, Toby said, “We’ll take a cab home.” She thought that, away from the others, Harriet’s reserve would break. Toby said, "He wasn’t good enough for you, Harriet. Not nearly good enough! I never thought so. I didn’t want you to know it, but I never thought he was the man for you. This other woman has money, I suppose. She’s the one to be sorry for! He’ll treat her worse than he’s treated you !" 000 TTARRIET said, “Don’t talk like that Toby.” “But it’s true, every word of it. I’d like a chance to tell him what I think of him.” Harriet shook her head. “I—l just can’t seem to believe it’s happened,” she said. “I can’t seem to realize I won’t see him again. Everything’s over. It’s ended. “But It isn’t, darling. Everything’s just beginning. A man who could do a think like that isn’t worth a minute’s regret. It’s going to be hard for a while, of course, but you’ll be glad some day it happened this way. I know you will!” Harriet said, “But he loved me, Toby. He really loved me once!” “You’re better- off without that kind of love. It’s the money he was thinking about. Don’t you see that?” “It’s just that I can’t realize it’s happened—” 000 r I ’'HEY stayed at home that eveA ning. Toby prepared hot soup and toast i>nd a salad. She spread the table with a gay linen cloth and set out the food, gut Harriet scarcely touched it. Her eyes still had the dazed, bewildered look. She didn’t say any more about. Clyde Sabin. Harriet’s silence bothered Toby. “If she’d only stop holding back,” she thought. “If she’d only cry or storm around and throw things, she’d get over it sooner.” Harriet did none of those things. When Toby tried to talk to her about other things—anything to take her mind off Clyde—her answers were brief. She picked up a magazine and then, a little later, said that she thought she’d go to bed. Toby was away from the apartment most of the next day. She came in at 5 o’clock to find Harriet,

I had a late lunch and I’m not hungry.” “You’re sure you’ll be all right?” Toby hadn’t promised to meet Bill because she was uneasy about leaving Harriet alone. “Os course I’ll be all right.” Toby, persuaded, called Bill and they arranged a meeting place. When she arrived, not more than 10 minutes late, she exclaimed, "Bill, how grand you look!” “Like the suit?” He was grinning like a school boy. “I certainly do. It’s brand new, isn’t it?” “Almost. And the best thing about this suit is the pockets. They’ve got money in ’em. Listen!” He reached into a pocket, jingling some change. “Miss Ryan, we’re off for a large evening.” “Why Bill, have you come into an inheritance or something?” “Nothing of the sort. Honest toil, my good woman—honest toil has made me what I am today. It’s made me hungry, too. Come on—” 000 OVER the dinner at a fashionable restaurant Bill explained further. “When i was writing ads,” he said, “I was just one of hundreds who could do the job as well. But selling *hem—ah, that’s different. Do you know how much business I’ve brought in this week?” He was off, quoting figures—figures that amazed Toby. “I’m getting a great kick out of it,” he assured her. “I’ve found my job and I'm going to stick to it. The boss has come through with one raise and if I get this Halloran contract I’m working for, I’ll get another.” “That’s wonderful!” Toby told him. “I’m awfully glad, Bill.” He went on, telling an amusing incident that had taken place the day before. He kept her entertained throughout the dinner so that she almost forgot she had been worried earlier. As they left the restaurant, Bill said, “Well, what’s it to be now? The town is yours tonight, Toby. What’ll sssyou have—night clubs, theaters, Co-

ney Island, the flea ebeus—name your choice!” “I’ll tell you what I’d like to do,” Toby said. “Let's go back and get Harriet. She had some bad news yesterday, Bill, and I can’t help worrying about her. Let’s ask her to come with us.” “Why, sure,” he agreed. 000 'r'HEY walked to the apartment. Toby said, “It’s such a wonderful evening, I’d like to stay out doors. I’ll tell you what I’d like to do. Let’s go down to the Battery and take the ferry over to Staten Island. That will be more fun than your theaters and night clubs. It will be wonderful out on the water—” “Suits me,” Bill agreed. “Staten Island it is.” Toby never knew why the idea came to her that they must hurry. There was no reason for it, but all at once she felt that it was important to reach the apartment and to reach there as quickly as possible. They went into the building and climbed the long flight of stairs. You ought to have St. Bernards on this stairway,” Bill said, "with nourishment for the weary climbers. Give me an Alp any day' What, are we really at the top—?” Toby, ahead, did not hear him. She hurried forward and knocked on the door. There was no answer.

Toby slipped her key Into the lock, turned it and opened the door. And then, suddenly, it was Bill who pushed forward. He called out sharply, “Toby, don’t go into that room!” (To Be Continued) Election Bids Invited The County Commissioners today announced bids would be received at 10 Monday morning, April 27, on the delivery and return of balloting boxes, booths, tables and equipments to 328 precincts for primary voting May 5.

- 1,., (TAin POLITICAL AnVERTISMKVTi ■" 1 FOUND—

A Sheriff Marion county seems to have found a sheriff who is going to do his duty. He has . . . shown that the sheriff's office can be conducted in such a manner that the holder really is a sheriff and not a political drone. Sheriff Ray is to be complimented. It is to be hoped that his type of administration will be carried on.

The above are excerpts of editorial comment in Indianapolis newspapers. There have been many similiar comments and congratulations by other observers since Sheriff Otto Ray took office sixteen months ago, thereby realizing the hope of thousands for an honest, efficient and humane administration of the important office of sheriff. • • The people have not been disappointed! They have had real evidence of Sheriff Ray’s hard work, courtesy and impartiality. “Why Change?” is the query on all sides. • _ • Sheriff Ray now seeks renomination for the office he holds strictly on the record of his acts and achievements. He promised the public and taxpayers a strictly business and a strictly nonpartisan administration. • • He has delivered. • • Thousands of outstanding men and women, business, civic and professional leaders, labor leaders, prominent members of the bar and bench, as well as the public at large, signed his petition and expressed their desire and intention of voting for him in the primary election May 5. As Sheriff of Marion County, Otto Ray has gained the approval of thousands of Republicans. • • The representative citizens of Marion County having “found” a real sheriff wish to exercise wisdom and common sense and they are working to keep him! Sheriff Ray’s outstanding record also has earned for him within the Democratic organization the reputation of being the best Sheriff Marion County ever had. • • Mr. Walter Boettcher, Marion County chairman, voiced his true feelings concerning Otto Ray’s record and candidacy when he sftid Ray’s conduct of his office made him deserving of renomination and re-election, at which time the Democratic ward and township chairmen, in meeting assembled, unanimously endorsed Sheriff Ray for renomination. • • The Democratic leaders of the county realize fully and definitely the strength added to their ticket by Sheriff Ray’s record and his willingness to be a candidate for renomination and re-election. • • Ray has worked from sixteen to eighteen hours a day without a vacation every day since he took office to earn this high praise of party leaders and outstanding citizens. No service or assistance asked by any one has been to j trivial to receive prompt attention. • • Business men also realize the qualities of Otto Ray’s stewardship of the Sheriff's office. • • Murray H. Morris, secretary of the Merchants Association of Indianapolis and Republican member of the county tax adjustment board, recently told Sheriff Ray: • • “I want to congratulate you on the excellent manner in which you are conducting your office. You have the backing of the substantial citizens of Marion County.” • • George S. Olive, president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, also stated that a study by him of budgets over a five-year period showed that Sheriff Ray was to be complimented on his record in office and on accomplishments. Mr. Olive is a Republican. • • In a recent address by the honorable Phillip Lutz Jr., Attorney General of Indiana, he said: “I have said some nice things about Sheriff Otto Ray. If you knew the fine public service that he is giving to the people of Marion County you would emulate his example. You don’t have to lay anything on the line to get Otto Ray going. He took his oath to perform the duties of' his office and as far as humanly possible he is doing that very thing. Otto Ray is a first citizen in this community. He holds the respect and confidence of every one and is an outstanding example in this state of fine public service.” • • The attorneys of Marion County come in close contact with the Sheriff’s office, resulting in large numbers of those engaged in the practice of law adding their commendation to those of the public.

And in a report to the Marion County Council, a special committee appointed to survey and investigate the county jail, the members of the committee after citing the results of their observations and making recommendations stated. • • “Mr. President and Council members, we the committee, feel that Sheriff Otto Ray is doing everything in his power to make the Marion County Jail one of the best jails in the country and we feel that we should help him as much as possible and still keep in mind the taxpayers of Marlon County.” The report was signed by William A. Brown, chairman, and George Kincaid and D. H. Badger, members. • • A few months ago the Marion County Grand Jury in reporting on conditions at the jail said: “We wish to report further that we made a thorough inspection of the Marion County Jail, about two weeks ago, and found the whole institution spotlessly clean, the kitchen and food (which was being prepared while we were there) was above reproach.” Naturally the jail stands out definitely cl a P rovin ce and responsibility of the Sheriff, but there are almost innumerable £L he L dutles and dem ands placed on the Sheriff’s shoulders. None of these has Otto Ray shirked. On the contrary, he has tirelessly spurred himself and his tieputies to tasks of protection, relief and assistance for citizens, which tasks in previous years have been let go by the board. • • Ray is Intensely human and his love of people, justice and common sense coupled with his zeal to carry on to the utmost capacity of his official resources has made the people of Indianapolis and Marion County realize fully the value of a faithful and watchful public servant. • • Where other law-enforcement agencies have hesitated or failed, Sheriff Ray has acted! Ray has taken action in liquor and gambling complaints. At all times he has co-operated with Federal, state and city authorities. Finger-printing and radios have been installed and all necessary records kept to support or augment government and state records. • • Last fall the Sheriff’s regular and reserve deputies policed the Indiana State Fair for the first time In history with the result that there were fewer law violations and the pocket-picking menace reduced to a minimum. • • The personal safety of citizens in their homes, on the highways, at work and at play, has had close and intelligent attention from Sheriff Ray and his deputies. Warning signs have been posted at all dangerous swimming holes and gravel pits. In all accidents, deputies call the ambulance, give first aid, clear the highway and police it until all injured parties and debris is removed; protect and return lost valuables and many times in the case of slight injuries, take the accident victim or occupants of the automobile home. • • That a real Sheriff has been on the job has been testified to almost daily by farmers and produce and poultry raisers throughout the county. Chicken and cattle stealing have been reduced approximately 50 per cent. This has been accomplished by continuous vigilance and the gathering of evidence which has resulted in convictions. An equally good record has been made in reducing the stripping of stolen automobiles. • • We of the Otto Ray Sheriff Club know that enthusiastic and hard-working publie servant and law-enforcement officer for the man he really is. Thousands of others also know Otto Ray has kept every promise made. • • His word is good! He has made good! Why change from a man whom every one trusts and respects and who has operated a difficult office in an historic manner The people of Marion County have found a real Sheriff. • • Sheriff otto Ray has been truly a public servant. He is the man built for the job. His record of honest, efficient, courteous and impartial service proves It. Why Change? • • Your support, your co-operation and your votes for Otto Ray are heartily solicited at the Primary Election on May 5.
