“The numerous changes in the law by the Legislature, dictated by men not trained in the practical problems of the administration of | a system of disconnected statutes, full of doubt, inconsistencies and unfairness.” The committee recommended that the Indianapolis Bar solicit the aid of the State Bar Association at its coming mid-winter session and that a joint committee be created to present a measure for recodification at the 1941 session of the Legislature,

CHILD IS FIRST" IN FOOD CRISIS

Adults, Thronging Cleveland City Hall, Told They Hold Secondary Rank.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 7 (U. P.).— Two hundred and fifty single men and women who said they had been hungry since th: middle of November, thronged City Hall today, and City Welfare Director Fred W. Ramsey told them that “adults can stand to go without food better than children, the child must come first.” Frank 'Horvach, county treasurer of the Workers’ Alliance, which he

said represented about two-thirds of the crowd, said that the group had nothing to eat but rolled oats, butter, white flour and apples from the FSCC. Mr. Ramsey said that when Mayor Harold H. Burton returns from Columbus, his first recommendation will be “at least partial restoration of regular relief.” The Mayor has said that even a $1,200,000 bond issue authorized yesterday by the State will not solve the crisis. Social workers passed out limited food orders again today as City officials sought a market for a $1,200,000 bond issue which Mayor Burton admitted would not allay the City's latest relief crisis.

Penetrating Omega Oil doesn’t burn or blister, that's why you can rub it right into the painful area — its painrelieving ingredients work fast, powerful yet harmless — mighty effective for muscular aches, pains and soreness of arms, legs and chest. Rub it in good for muscular backache — for strains and stiffness — even helps relieve the torture of neuralgia #5 rheumatic pains. Over 18 million bottles sold — it must be good!
