FROM INDIANA
By ERNIE PYLE | SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 9.—Joseph Smith,
founder and No. 1 man of the Mormon | ' Church, was born in Vermont in 1805. When |
he was 10, his parents moved to western New York State. Everybody was religious up
‘there then. But|Joseph couldn’t make up his | to |
mind which chure So he decided
ask God. Consequently, one bright afternoon Joseph retired
to a sylvan glade in the woods, got down on his knees and popped the question. Immediately he was seized with a great darkness which was nigh unto doing him to death, when suddenly a shaft of light came down from the sky, and a zouple of men came walking down it. One of the men was an angel named Moroni. God had sent him. Moroni told Joseph not to join any of the churches, That was all he said. (This was 1820, Joe was 15, and flabbergasted.) ‘That's the last Joseph saw of Moroni for three years. Then one night tht angel came to his bed, and told him that God had chosen him (Joseph) as His personal agent, and that through him God's authority was to be restored on earth. . At the same time, Moroni told Joseph where some golden plates were hidden on a hill. These, he said, contained the record of the Book of Mormon, with the Key for translating it. So Joseph went to the hill (the hill is still there, 25 miles southwest of Rochester, N. Y.) and Moroni came down and watched Joseph uncover the box in the side of the hill. | The plates were there, but Moroni said Joseph couldn't have them yet. He was told to visit the spot on that day each year for four years, and in the meantime God would be watching to see how he behaved. He behaved all right, for on the fourth anniversary he was allowed to take the plates, 2 a
to join.
” Church Organized
‘ T took three years to translate the Book of Mormon. It was published in 1830, and 1t was at that time (April 6, 1830, to be exact) that the Mormon church was organized. Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum and four other men were the original members. The official name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It gets the nickname Mormon from the fact that Mormon, a Nephite prophet, was the father of the Angel Moroni, and also the author of the Book of Mormon, | After the organization, there followed some 15 years of terrible struggle for the Mormons. A strange sect, they were not tolerated by other religions, and were run out of Ohio, Illinois and Missouri. Illinois Bears the disgrace of Joseph Smith's death, It was at Carthage, on the night of June 27, 1844, that Joseph and his brother Hyrum were taken from jail by a mob and shot to death. n ”
n First-Class Prophet . OSEPH during this time had singular powers, and chased devils out of people, and performed miracles, and was altogether considered by his followers as a first-class prophet. Enemies thought the church would die with Joseph Smith. Instead, Brigham Young, an even stronger leader, arose. Driven brutally out of every “civilized” haven, Brigham Young led his pilgrims in an” all-summer’s march, and finally they came down over the mountains into the empty dry desert of Salt Lake valley. Brigham Young said “This is the place for us.”

Mrs; Roosevelt's Day
BY ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
ONNELLSVILLE, Pa. Thursday—Under the surface, that calm, unhurried getaway that I hoped for was not as placid as it appeared. Nobody seemed hurried, but all had no time to waste. I got up at 7 and had breakfast at 8. My mail was finished last night before I went to bed at 1a. m. I had a hunch, however, it would be well to start in
‘early. The unexpected always happens.
Yesterday afternoon I got a letter from young Peter Vaughan, the son of a girl T roomed with at school in England years ago, and who is still my friend. Her son's letter said he was here on his way around the world and wanted very much to see the President and me, just as his brother did who stayed with us last year. I wired him at.once that we were starting off Thursday morning, but if he cared to fly down ‘Wednesday evening, we would be delighted to have him. He arrived at 10:15 Wednesday evening, and ‘this morning after a few minutes talk we sent him lout to call on his own embassy, so he could see the ‘city and come back in time to meet the President and see us off on the train. I arranged that he should do what sight-seeing he wished the rest of the day. Luckily my brother ap- | peared at the train and so he took him off to lunch. 1 left with a feeling that I had done what I could under the circumstances to give an old friend's child a pleasant day, but it was rather breathless. Before 9 Mrs. Nesbitt, the White - House housekeeper, was with me and we decided on curtains for one room and the color of a rug to be dyed for an- | other. Checks had to be signed covering certain very necessary expenditures in the house while I am gone. | My son James’ wife, Batsy, came in by midnight train to start off with us. Mrs. Helm is back from Illinois and we had a brief few minutes together to discuss some Lhings that must be done immediately after election. At 10 I held a ‘brief press conference. At 11 Mrs. Morgenthau came in to say geod-by. Last things had to be put into bags, last letters had to be signed and telegrams sent. Somehow Mrs. Scheider was
| ready and so was I, then the train pulled out at 12.

Marion Tells How She Reduced 41 Pounds.

BY ERNEST LENN Times Special Writer
HE metallic trinkets on the gypsy fortune-tell-er’s sleeves jingled as she reached out and grasped Marion Talley’s pudgy palm. “I see for you an Al Jolson career, rather than that of a GalliCurci,” intoned the seeress: And the hefty Marion Talley, the youngest prima donna the Metropolitan ever had, tittered.
But that prediction, in a sense, has come true;. for Miss Talley’s triumphant return to the world, after her retirement on a Kansas wheat farm, is to be via the motion picture route. An overstuffed prima donna in the “Met” was no novelty, but an overstuffed heroine in a movie was. So, as industriously as she studied for her roles in “Rigoletto,” “Lucia” and “Coq d'Or,” Miss Talley studied the technique or reducing. She was bewildered at first, by the methods offered. A masseuse might be employed to biff, slap and punch away the avoirdupois. Or she might broil herself in a sieamroom. ‘Or go on a starvation iet.

FOOD nutritionist. who has many of the Hollywood stars as his clients advised, ‘Eat and grow thin,’ so I followed his advice,” the lithe Miss Talley says now. “My reducing formula consisted of a chemically correct diet, exercise and “the will to see it through, once I had started. “In a few months I had dropped from 146 ta 105 pounds.” First, she gave up sweets and starches, because theyre acid forming and upset the digestion, impairing health and efTiciency. The heart-breaking sacrifice of a Spartan mother giving up her first-born for service in the army was nothing as compared to the sacrifice enteiled by Miss Talley in. forgoing sweets and starches. For she loved flaky pastries, oozy with snowy cream, and dainties with pink icing; spongy, steamy hotbread; crispy-crunchy, golden-brown French fried potatoes, volcanic mounds of mashed potatoes,

N fact, starving to get rid of poundage is neither simple nor sane. There is no short cut to slim lines, no lazy road. Bluff won't work. It's up to you. “Start the day with fruit juices—orange, lemon or grapefruit, or a glass of prune and grapefruit juices, mixed. “A half-hour later, drink a hot beverage with cream or sugar, but never both. “If youre hungry later in the morning, drink a glass of buttermilk or tomato juice. “Luncheon time should be salad time. Green salads are full of preciqus minerals and vitamins which give you vim and vitality. Eat all you want. Only don’t spoil that big salad by a rich dressing. “Here's a simple, non-fattening one. Take two spoonfuls of lemon juice, one spoonful of olive oil and vegetable salt, to taste, and a bit of honey.
“Whole rye wafers with your

salad, and a beverage, also can be had for lunch. ' “Dinner may consist of a pineapple and grapefruit salad, two
lamb chops, green peas, head let-"
tuce, baked apple, and a demitasse or a large cup of black coffee. “Now that menu isn't a starvation diet, is it? It is a sample of a non- fattening menu that can be varied every day in the week.”

FORKING long hours ‘under i
brilliant studio lights, and before the silent-whirring cameras ‘in Republic Pictures’ ‘Follow Your Heart,” the now sylph-like Miss Talley would always appear fresh and vivacious. “How do you do it?” gasped her
haggard associates after a strenuous day in the studio. “We're all in, but you—youre as fresh as a wildflower!” Miss Talley flashed a smile. “Shhhh—I dash out to my dressing room between takes for a pick-me-up cocktail, a Pep cocktail, I call it. Want to try it?” The studio folk nodded eagerly, and a bit thirstily. They trooped into her dressing room. No tall bottles, no ice-cubes, greeted their eager gaze. Imagine their further bewilderment when Miss Talley beat up yolks of eggs in glasses of orange juice and passed them around. “Really,” she will tell you, “it’s an admirable pick-me-up. It’s the Adeal thing, too, for afternoon hunger. Just beat up the yolk of an egg in a glass of orange juice. You may add a dash of sherry if you wish.”

POLITICS AS SULLIVAN SEES IT
BY MARK SULLIVAN
ASHINGTON, Oct. 9. — In Minnesota the Democratic Party makes a deal with the Farmer-Labor Party. It is described by Mr. G. Gould Lincoln, careful political writer of the Washington (D. -C.) Star, who is in Minnesota. The Democratic Party withdraws its candidates for Governor and United States Senator—there will be no Democratic candidates for those offices in Minnesota. This is done, Mr. Lincoln says, “in return for Nailer Labor votes for Mr. Roosevelt.” The national purpose is to try to help elect Mr. Roosevelt President. The local Minnesota purpose is to try to elect a Farmer-Labor Senator and Governor. The deal is approved by National Democratic Chairman Farley. “This,” says Mr. Farley,

“will bring victory for both the President and the Farmer-Labor-ites.” The deal is blessed by Mr. Roosevelt—he telegraphs the retiring Democratic candidate for Senator, “I am deeply grateful that you were willing to sacrifice your personal ambitions on my behalf and for the good of the party.” “For the good of the party.” Bui just what party? Just how shall we define the Democratic Party that is served by absorbing, or being locally absorbed by, the Farmer-Labor Party? What precisely are the principles of a Democratic Party that is served by trying to elect a Farmer-Laborite to the United States Senate?

Practically all the comment asks merely whether Mr. Roosevelt is more likely to win Minnesota's 11 electoral votes; whether some Minnesota Democrats who feel outraged by the deal will now vote for Gov. Landon. In the short-time view, looking merely toward Nov. 3, these questions are to the front. But from the point of view of the deep tides now running in American politics, there is a long-time questibn. Just what is the nature, the principles and objectives of the Farmer-Labor Party which the Democratic Party now absorbs, or is locally absorbed "by? I ask the question for information. I do not happen to know where the Farmer-Labor Party belongs, in the gamut of social and political theories which are now fermenting in America and in the world.

JNDIANAPOLIS started off without a os tor and got along surprisingly well, too, In the course of the next six months, however, it had five and nobody knew how it happened or where they came from. They,
turned up all at once and they hardly got settled when the big epidemic broke loose. Nobody knows for sure whether the epidemic was the cause or the effect of their coming. Be that as it may, the epidemic was the cause of the stiff competition that is the heritage of Indianapolis doctors. What’s more, it was the start of the scared look Indianapolis doctors have when the subject of their competitors arises. , And no wonder, because it's one of the tid-bits of local history that Dr. Jonathan Cool got Dr. Isaac Coe’s goat as early as 1821. Dr. Coe came here in May, 1821, loaded down with a big supply of Peruvian bark and several casks of rich, ripe wine which turned out to be the ight kind fF: medicine for his clientele, At any rate, Coe’s Practice got bigger and bigger and it drove-Dr. Cool to the point of composing & cruel couplet which, unlike most poetry of the time, had the merit of coming to the point quickly. Said Dr. Cool to Dr. Coe: “Oh Dr. Coe, oh Dr. Coe, What makes you dose your patients so?” Its effect was immediate and so demoralized the: profession that it moved Dr. Samuel Mitchell to ach

tion. And anyway,.it was rotten poetry, said Drs
Mitchell. : Which was why the Indiana Central Medical Soe ciety was organized in 1823 with Dr. Mitchell as president and Dr. Livingston Dunlap as secretary, (It is now known that Dr. Dunlap’s prescriptions were the only ones Kenneth Scudder, our first druggist, could read without calling for help). The Indiana Central Medical Society continued its work a good many years, but nobody knows how many. And that’s just about what you'd expect, knowing that .everything connected with doctors around here is, more or less, wrapped in mystery.

Connecting Link T= next organized effort on the part of our physicians—excluding, of course, their profese sional cliques—was the Indianapolis Medical Associa tion, a sort of social and professional society. If was maintained for diversion as well as instruction for several years prior to 1863 and probably formed the connecting link between the pioneer society and the associations of larger scope and power of today, but nobody can be too sure even about that. In 1864 it was superseded or absorbed (nobody knows) by a more compact and effective body known as the Marion County Association, This lasted about a year when the Indianapolis Academy of Medicine showed up. It lived up to its ornamental title bee cause it proved what its predecessors meant to be. At any rate it put an effective stop to physicians writing poetry. ; For fear that a poet may yet turn up among the * doctors, Indianapolis physicians still maintain a so=_ ciety, called like the second one, the Indianapolis Medical Association. It meets once a week, which is why it is practically impossible to get a hold of an Indianapolis doctor after 8 p. m. on Tuesday night,

\VERY one was “quite surprised that no one was robbed, assaulted or swindled at the public sale of Indianapolis lots on Oct. 9, 1821. Purchasers milled around in the three taverns, camped out or were “put up” in private homes, They carried their loose silver apd gold around in leather
bags. Real estate agents would be surprised to know that the highest price paid for any site was $560 for the northwest corner lot at Delaware and Washe ington-sts. A total of 314 lots was sold for an aggregate price of $35,596.25, only part of which was paid in cash. "As the first Indianapolis boom declined, owners forfeited 161 lots for nonpayment. Buyers paid ones pitti down and the remainder in four yearly installs ! ments. When the 1821 Legislature passed the act setting up the new capital, three commissioners to lay out the city and an agent to sell the land were ape pointed. The commissioners at first were puzzled about how to plan a new city on almost barren territory. They.
