Inside Indianapolis

THIS IS A special communique to all boys and girls from 8 to 15. years of age. Start dreaming, You know that ‘you can make an ice cream sundae better than anyone else. Seldom does a soda jerker give you everything you would. like to have. That's for sure, = Well, the Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce has an idea in the ice cream mill working that is a corker. Imagine, they're going to let you invent a “dream sundae” and then let ydu eat it, As if that wasn’t enough, 12 lucky boys and girls with the best concoctions are going to get prizes. How about that?

Good Appetite Is Requisite

THIS CONTEST requires a good imagination and a stout appetite for ice cream. Show me the boy or girl who doesn't have both, The rules are simple, Get an entry blank from your milkman or favorite soda fountain, fill it out as requested with name of sundae, ingredients, how many scoops you would put in, quantity of syrup, nuts, etc. Send it to the Junior Chamber of Commerce before midnight, Sept. 25. The best 12 formulas for “dream sundaes” will win the right for the senders to compete with the real makings in Indiana Theater Saturday, Oct. lat9a m During the actual contest the “dream sundaes” will be judged on the ingredients, name and appearance. Then there is a minor stipulation that requires you to be able to put away what you have wrought in 15 minutes, Everything you want to use in your sundae or think you want to use will be furnished free. Don't ask me how that is done. All I know is that the whole business is tied up in some way with the International Dairy Exposition which will open at

order that I might create something unusual. It wasn't hard at all, “Use whatever you need,” said the man. That's exactly what you'll hear them say on stage of the Indiana Theater, 7 Keeping in mind that I would have to eat what was constructed, a gallon of vanilla ice cream was used for the foundation. It's wise to start off with a neutral flavor, The sweet stuff, you know, can come later, Around the edge of my foundation, I built a fancy fence of assorted flavors. Then on the bottom a coating of butterscotch flavoring was poured. On top of each dip of ice cream was placed a cookie, An ingenious way of making it possible to put-a good solid second story. The second story was chocolate since it's one of my favorite flavors. All the while the center ‘was being filled with generous dips of ice cream, my mind was working on the name. Every sundae has to be named. The| name “Inside Delight” sort of caught my fancy. | To close the gap between the ice cream (syrup) won't do on an ice cream skyscraper), popcorn was used. Strawberry flavoring looked best over the popcorn. To fill the gaps created by the firregular shape of the popcorn, I used crushed nuts. Excellent,

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-— The people of the United States have observed, recently, the workings of a modern miracle—a miracle transcending about 5000 years of superstition and fear. That would be the graduation of Mrs. Hans Hornbostel from the national leprosarium at Carville, La.— still a leper, technically, but free to live among nonleprous people, and proud to publicize the fact that she is at large, including the listing of her address in Long Island. Mrs. Hornbostel, a pleasant but quick-tempered lady, is an old acquaintance of mine. I visited her some 18 months ago at the hospital in Carville, where she had ‘been sent with an active case of Hansen's disease. The disease had broken out while she was an inmate of the Japanese prison camp inthe Philippines—8anto. Tomas, as I re:

meémber, 1

«a

Dormant for 30 Years

SHE DID NOT catch it there, since it has been pretty well proven that adults do not contract leprosy. Mrs. Hornbostel collected her bacilli when she was a child in the Marianas—either Guam or Saipan. They lay dormant for some 30 years. Only when her health broke under the stringencies of living in a Jap internment camp did the disease become active.

When Mrs. Hornbostel was repatriated, her leprosy was detected, and she was treated nearly as a criminal in San Francisco until such time as she consented to commit herself as an inmate— nasty word—at Carville, She was guilty of no crime. She merely possessed a sickness which is practically incommunicable to any but children in certain endemic areas, and then through such lengthy and intimate contact that the chances are a million to one against acquiring it.

Her husband, Maj. Hans Hornbostel, refused to desert his wife. Their case became a cause celebre. The major said that if she went to the leprosarium, he went, too, because after 30 years or so of matrimony, he didn’t figure to catch anything he hadn’t already caught. There was a house rule against their living together, however, Even in the enlightened present, lepers are still legally treated more as criminals than as patients. Maj. Hornbostel wasn’t allowed to live with his wife at Carville, but took a little house outside the barbed wire fence. He was’ permitted to visit her all day, until 11 p. m.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23—The House of Representatives is back from the month's vacation it says it never took and I'll bet a year's wages against a sack of peanuts you can't guess how the gentlemen spent their first session. Well, sir, they took two minutes listening to the preacher pray.. They used eight minutes more shaking hands and admiring each other's sunburns while. they sent four appropriation bills (including one for money spent last year) into conference with the Senate. Then Rep. Robert L. F. Sikes of Okaloosa County, Fla., asked for one min‘ute in which to make a speech, He said that he was running into the red, sending telegrams to his constituents. The measly little $500 per sesgion that he gets from the government to pay his telegraph and long-distance phone bills, he continued, already has run out, He is digging into his own pocket to pay for his messages to the home folks. Surely, he cried, American voters do not expect their Representatives to spend their own money on public business,
