SUIT VITAL TO TEACHERS Case Involves Validity of 1921 Amendment to Teacher's Pension Bill of 1915 Lake county school teachera In common with others throughout the state will be vitally Interested In the outcome of an Injunction suit filed In the St Joseph circuit court at South Bend by a teacher of that city asrainst the L?hool city of South P.end and the board fof trustees of Indiana state tea hers' a .1 a i rr-1 1 . - . 1 . - . 1. rtiircnitai iuiiu. x ne juuico validity of the 1921 amendmf-nt to the teachers' pension bill of 1915. Much concern has been expressed by teachers since enactment of the amendment because of the alleged arbitrary extorUon of payments from teachers' salares and the assumed discriminatory preference for older members of the teaching staff against those whose tenure is likely to be shortened by marriage or removal to other states. The case Is believed to be the first f the kind to be filed in the, state. The attorney who is representing the South Bend teacher holds that',the inderstanding between the teachers who accepted the pln and the state fund trustees wa3 of a contra tural iiture, and pointed out that a conract cannot be altered without con sent of both parties. The teachrrs had o voice in the changes made by the J 021 amendment. George E. Koop, a teacher in the South Bend high school, who filed the njunction suit, says that when the re tirement fund was passed In 191S he was given eleven years credit for his ias services on payment of $110. Now hat the amendment is in force, he ays. the school city will make deluctions from his salary on the basis f the 1921 amendment instead of the ;915 original enactment. Teachers throughout the state are aid to be up In arm. against the penion bill as at present drawn. I one baa reature or me law, ana mat nore parti ularly .attacked In the ;nttH Rpnd . suit- -Is container! in thr ollowing , "The original teachers' retirement und law passed by the legislature in 015, provided that all teachers who ook advantage of its provisions must nake regular payments Into th fund, lowever, the legislature by an amend bient passed in 121 - Increased the mount of payments and reduced the enefits to the teachers, it is claimed, lany teachers had -already come uner the provisions of. the fund on the 913 understanding, only to have their assessments increased by the legislaure." KING JOHN GETS T OF LIFE John Pociuchanski, better known as King John," proprietor of a saloon t 708 State Line street. West Hampond, was robbed nnd nearly scared o death last night by a bandit who as just downright mean. The barroom was deserted at 11 clock and John -was taking it easy t tne living room at the rear. He eard a sound out In front and interupted his rest long enough to take look. There was no one visible. He settled clown for some repose and nally decided to lock up for the night, peedily he shuffled into the barroom. "Puttem," snarled a harsh voice at is elbow and at the same time King ihn's portly abdomen was prodded ith a revolver. "Just like when someone grabs you i the dark and yells boo-o-o, he done e." explained John afterward. "1 ever was afraid of any man before nd I'll not let a hold-up guy bluff me ?ain if he does it right, but when lowlifer scares the liver out of you ".fore you know what he wants, what -e you gonna do? should ougnt i have a little manners." , . Anyway, before John could collect is wits, the bandit had grabbed his atch and $12 and was backing out ie front door. Before stepping outside," the robber ilted. "Rember," he warned. "I don't ant you to mention a word about lis to anybody." "And do you know," said John in porting to the West Hammond poce." I was still so mixed up that I omised him I wouldn't tell." i uravn Tinrn NO AMBITION ?ervous and Dizzy, Every-. hmg Seemed to Worry Me. How I Got Well Lftrwill, Indiana.

"IRENE" WILL SOON BE WITH US Among the plethora of so-called musical comedies, ' there are few which stand out a pleasant memories. We might mention Maytime" the California Orange Blossom stories and "Adele" Hut they are few and far between. When we come to name those that have lived in the mind of the theatre-goin-f public, it is by no means an easy master to specify two or even one. In "Irene" however, amusement lovers find something that has not often been offered to theatregoers of this city, either from the point of view of musical melody; logical plot, or enthral ling story. This is a musical play something 'that is very seldom seen. It has a story one of the most romantic type; it has a musical setting, with lyrics and melodies you cannot often find; and it is a comedy of the most engaging brand with humor which keeps you busy laughing, and situations that leave you wondering how anybody ever had thought them out. Entertainments of this nature are altogether too rare. The management of the Parthenon theatre of Hammond Is to be congratulated on their enterprise in again inducing the VanderblU Producing Company to offer this musical comedy triumph of the universe' to its patrons on Friday and Saturday, March 25th and 26th, with matinee on Saturday.
