OUSE RAMMED, TWO ARRESTED

Vehicles Wrecked in Crash but None Are Injured in Mixup. Two new- motor vehicles and a house were well messed up and two men were arrested today after a traffic accident at Wilkins and Ma- # ple-sts. : Pryson Weaver, 38, of 75th-st and lvan-av, told police he was drivEine west on Wilkins-st in a new truck. When he reached Maple-st the truck collided with a new coupe and both machines went into tailspins. The truck wound up on its side _ySeveral feet away. The coupe took off over sidewalks and lawns, finally ! crashing head-on into a double ‘house at 1041-43 Maple-st. There had been two Negroes in the coupe, police were told, but when they arrived there was only one. The other, it seems, couldn't wait, and took off post haste for points unknown,

Refuses to Talk

The one who waited, Ernest Mitchell, 37, of 1042 S. Capitol-av, was held on vagrancy charges. He refused, police said, to tell the name of his alleged companion, or to say who was driving the car. The wrecked car, police learned, belongs to Robert Beilach, 1910 Bluff-av, of the Union Ice and Coal Co. Mitchell operates an auto washing business and was taking Mr. Beilach’s car to the rack to polish _ it up. [4 No One Was Injured Ordinarily this is where the story would end, but police ran into extra-curricular difficulty, they said, Eph Barner, 38, of 26 Michael-st, offered to help the police, the officers said. Evidently the policemen 2 didn’t care much for his “kibitzing,” ¥ " because they took Mr. Barner along . with them on a charge of interfer"ing with an officer.

Fairs Are as Popular as Ever; Origin Is Lost in Antiquity

Outdoor Exhibits Were the Rage in Shakespeare’s Time; Throughout State.

Scores Scheduled

BY JOHN W. SMOTHERS The large number of county fairs scheduled throughout the state this fall indicate they are still as popular as ever. The origin of fairs is buried in history, but England had them in

the days of Shakespeare. Some authorities hold that the

modern fair evolved from the re-

ligious festivals of the past when people brought their best livestock and foodstuffs to be offered as sacrifices to old mysterious gods. Modern community gatherings, suth as fairs, answer the common desire of all humans—an opportunity to see what a neighbor has done and a chance to stop and talk leisurely to friends. There are heat and dust at a. fair. But there are also things to see— acrobatic acts, prize livestock, prize corn, prize canning, prize baking, prize sewing, prize everything. A partial list of outdoor activities that have been held recently and others to be held in the next two months include the Indiana State Fair, LaPorte County Fair, Decatur Centennial, Porter County Centennial, Montpelier Centennial, Lincoln Country Festival at Rockport and the Akron Centennial. Also the Noblesville Horse Show, Muncie Fair Horse Show, Putnam County Horse Show, Elfwood Horse Show, State Fox Hunters’ Associa-
