The four-month-old burglary case in which one special judge resigned suddenly from the bench finally went on trial in criminal court today before a jury and Spe-
cial Judge Harry C. Gause. Originally the case was to be
of the trial after declaring that
{| “adverse criticism in the newspa-
say the case was fixed” and if the defendants were found guilty they would think the court was predJudiced. ; \ Gause Selected
Later Judge W. D. Bain of criminal court named another panel of attorneys and Mr. Gause was finally selected. When the case was called to trial before Judge Gause in July Prosecutor Sherwood Blue asked for a continuance because one of the defendants, a prisoner at the Indiana reformatory, was not in court. Recently Edward McElfresh, a defense attorney, asked for a jury trial, taking the responsibility for a verdict away from the judge. The defendants are William Cangany, 27, of 535 Rybolt st. Joseph Alfred Rolland, 28, of 857 S. Pershing ave, and Herald Weidman, 19, a prisoner at the reformatory,
Charged With Burglary
They .are charged with burglary of the Vonnegut Hardware Co. 3833 N. Illinois st., where a safe containing several - thousand dollars was stolen last winter. Only Cangany and Holland were on trial today, the prosecutor having elected to have a separate trial Tor Weidman, who is expected to testify for the state. When the case first was called to trial four months ago, Weidman
agreed to drop his case if he would testify for the state.
Proposed New Playfields Listed
Ten proposed new city park locations have been given post-war priority rating by Park Supt. Paul V. Brown. Playground space, he said, is miost vitally needed in the iollow‘Ing vicinities: 16th st. and Central ave.; 38th and Meridian sts; Fountain square; 30th and Illinois sts; 22d and Alabama sts.; ‘Michigan and Rural sts.; Michigan and Grant sts; 48th and Meridian $s; 16th st. and Northwestern ave, and South Irvington. Mr. Brown said the post-war subcommittee on parks, headed by J. I. Holcomb, will inspect recreation improvement. sites in a day-long tour Wednesday.
RULES ON VOTING BY SERVICEMEN’S WIVES
Wives of service men are entitled to vote at any residence they choose to establish, regardless of the residence of their husbands, the state election board ruled today. The board said that a service man's wife may change her resi-
or registering at another address, or ‘otherwise indicating her desire to have her residence at a different place than that of her husband.”

EXPECT RAPS AT ‘SEWER SURVEY
Council May Delay Action On Proposed $15,000 Project Here. Appropriation of
$15,000 with
‘which to launch a proposed $150,-
000 sewer survey probably will be postponed at tonight's city council session despite an anticipated pro and con discussion of the controversial issue, it was learned today. Councilmen are shying from the project on grounds that they will be able to exert no control over expenditure of survey money once it is made available to the works board. Bulk of the survey cost will be borne by a $100,000 bond issue. . Debate Survey Another debatable survey feature is a broad difference of opinion over whether the huge sewer investigation should be performed by city or private engineers. Under present works board plans a private consultant would be engaged, but a sizable council bloc is convinced that regular city engineers could undertake the task at a much lower

Works board, officials have indicated that Russell B. Moore, engineering consultant, will be assigned the survey job because of his Indianapolis location and previous experience in sewer construction. The $150,000 expense estimate also will be challenged by eouncil skeptics who believe the figure is out of line with duties required.

But now, Dana, having come through that time of upheaval and prepared to settle down with old frierdds and new, is face to face with another and perhaps more critical problem.

HERE YOU SEE A man doing a bit of X. P.
duty on the Home Front!
We were a bit leary about publishin a picture like this—It might spread the thought among ‘the Mrs. Wives—that more men ought to be impressed
with—{and into}—this kind of service.
(Gosh! He seems:to’like it!)
But white shirt illustrations (with a bit of domesticity) are kinda scarce— (Even scarcer than white shirts)
So—we may be pardoned for
using it!
Perhaps we should qualify the remark “even scarcer than white
shirts.”
Taken as a whole — there are considerable. numbers of white shirts —but with a bit of baldness in spotsl
However, a man can get white shirts in his size and sleeve-length — in something or other—at some price
or other.
