}y Thomas H. Adams, Republican, % in Vincennes Commercial) * Political rumors of the cheap and tawdry Akind,acg_tt;ered about all kindg ~and manners of men are mentioned, -, The big issue before the people ig not mentioned at all by the Indianapolis press. _ e ; The capital correspondents, lead along by gossip and rumor, intimate something @about Watson's ambi» tions, etc., but that's all. : The question is what is Indiana td do to clean up her government and her dirty polities? The political machines will not clean it for they are the dirt of it Then what is there to do? . ; Does Indiana intend to try to clean up? ; . Is the ambition of any man half ag important as -the great principle foi clean government the Probe investigators labored for? v No man dare be a candidate of hig party unless he is untainted and not involved by this thing. 1 The crooks are bold and bfazen,‘ They say the state is not affected. But it is. Its doom is apparent unless the people act and act now. The governor is indicted and must stand trial. : The chief governing forces of Senator Watson’s republican committeg are badly involved. Chairman Walb is uhder serious fire for the LaGrange bank failure, Boss Coffin, the ruler of Indianapolis, is indicted. Ex-state Treasurer Ora Davies, another big boss, is ins dicted. A score of political parasites have been punished. : The internal revenue collector, Bert Thun'an, and Secretary of Statq Schortemeier are under fire and close inspectioh by the grand jury, The republican state committeq owe a duty to the people—that is, the unsmirched members do—to meet and elect a new chairman and then resign! There are plenty of big republi: cans in Indiana who should act at once to help save the party from fury ther disgrace and ignominy. Must he probe go further than tg warn the political bushwhackers ta get out of sight and out of the way? Bear in mind, republicans, thé probe investigators have won their fight in all these sordid, horrid exposures. They are hurtful. So fid any crime hurtful. Now we, as Indiana,citizen-s.hmsat; take on a new program and ney reckoning. ' _ The present political machine of our party is rotten to the core. If republicans do unot clean . it up the opposition will. ‘ The probe investigators all arg anxious for a clean, thorough and complete change all through for thg Lenefit of Indiana, for the benefit of the republican party and for the hene fit «f all, o e ~ ~ Given Birthday Surprise Samuel J.

‘ Will be on Display at the Sales Rooni of.the Albert F. Turrell Com- ] pany In a Few Days. ! BN ! i = Surpassing all its former achieveJ ments as a leader in the building of low cost transportation, the Chevrolet Motor company, today announces the most distinctive low priced automobile of all time. The announcement today of a com’plete new line of Chevrolet cars follows immediately on the <close of {Chevrolet's greatest year . when its volume of one million units made it the world's largest builder of automobiles, and presages of a year of uns exampled activity for the organiza, tion that has been the pioneer voluma producer of gear shift motor cars. Known as the “Bigger and Better’? Chevrolet the new car that goes on display throughout the United States today not only succeeds the ‘Most Beautiful ~Chevrolet” -but incorp-: orates all the advantages that madg the latter so popular and in addition embodies a host of refinements that Motors officials believe will be tha sensation of the automobile industry in 1928. 7 A quick picture of the new car that seems destined to write a new chapy ter into the history of the automobilg business. may be had by noting the following highlights of the 1928 Che; vrolet: ; Extended wheelbase, greater speed and power, four wheel brakes, long, er roomier Fisher bodies, new Duco colors thermostat cooling, shock absorbing springs, .motor enclosure, and indirectly lighted - instrument panel and other advantages built in as a result of lessons learned through 15 vears of consiant progress. The “Bigger and Better” Chevrole} owes its outstanding virtues to thq manifold facilities at-the disposal of the Chevrolet Motor Company including the General Motors Proving Ground, the General Motors Research laboratory, the Chevrolet experimental laboratory, the Chevrolet en-~ {gineeriug department and the skill and resources of the Fisher Body Corpor:ation. : Seven passenger cars including five closed and two open types comprise the linz. Every driving requirement is cared for in the make up angf appointments of the various body types. ' Beauty in appearance, performance in driving and cconomy in operation are the keynotes of the car that owes its every detail to withering tests cf days, weeks and months under all types of weather, road and driving conditions. ' Every detail has proved true in exhaustive tests. As a result the new line achieves to a degree hithertq!{ unexampled in the low priced field a standard of smartness advaneed performance, striking color combinma+ tions, completeness of - equipment and minute attention to style comfort} ,aén(l luxury. The new car has a distinctive big car appearance entirely foreign to its price class. This is achieved by adding four inches to the wheelbasd bringing the present total to 107inches. ; The frame also has been deepened and strengthened to make a smoothen riding sturdier and better balanced car. ; - ' The four inches that have been added to the frame materially increase the beauty and the effect of bigness of the finished product. ; Stressing the beauty of line are new honeycomb Harrison radiators of deep, slender graceful design, Their added depth has so raised thg front of the car that from the cowl] to the base of the new low radiator cap the line is unbroken and nearly level. - Radiator shells are of non-rusting airplane metal; while thermostat conirol of the cooling system is an additional feature. Complementing the extra four inches in wheelbase ' is increased length in several of the body types,| ‘The coach body is five inches longy e 1 than a yvear ago. The sedan body likewise has been’ increased two and three-quarters inches. . - Among the many new body refinements is a fully inclosed and indirectly lighted instrument panel, oval in shape, with the speedometer, ammeter and oil gauge in full view for day or night driving. All passenger models have larger 30 by 4.50 balloon tires and steel disg wheels as standard equipment. Other standard equipment includes stop: light, rear vision mirror gasoling gauge, complete tool set, and theff proof steering and ignition lock. Additional equipment is standard with individual models. ; - All closed bodies are by Fisher, Styled and designed with the smart, | ness and beauty. for which the Fish- | er name is famous. All are of com, posite steel and hardwood construc-' tion of the type found on the highest| priced cars. And all are finished in genuine Duco colors five beautiful combinations on the seven models. || . Mrs. Billings Goes Home. Mrs. H. Billings, aged ninety years; who spent the past year with relas tives in Ligonier, left Friday evening| for her home in Washington, D. C Mrs, Billings was born on the Hawj patch and spent here younger years {bere.

[ I TP ARSNC U G Al S N P A- — WAS "SERVED. BY ROYALTY ‘Bnglish Prince, Now King, Not Abows Dolng an Obliging Thing for the Professor, ~ When Professor Vambery, the famous Orientalist, whose ‘death o 0 curred recently, arrived at Sandfingham on a visit he received a message that Queen Alexandra wanted to see him. _ . He decided to wash his hands first, 80 he went to his room and rang the bell to ask for hot water.- No ome came, thou. i he rang the bell repeatedly. ; Then there came a knock at the door aud a youth entered. “Do you want anything, professor?” he asked. “Yes,” replied the professor, “I have. been ringing for some hot water.” “Wait a moment and I'll get you some,” was the obliging reply. The boy disappeared, returning in a few minutes with a large jug of bhot water which he placed on the washstand. The professor thanked him and he withdrew. After he had washed the professor descended to pay his respects to his royal hostess, but after a few minutes’ conversation he was surprised to see his “hot water” boy come up to the group. " “Ah, professor,” Queen Alexandra remarked, introducing the boy, “this is my son!” : After that the professor nicknamed the boy, who is now King George V., “The Royal Jug Bearer.” ;

DEMAND LUXURY IN AMERICA Such a Thing as the Use of Napkin Ringa Not to Be Thought of for a Moment. o ¢« “When Don Manuel, ex-king of Portugal, got married,” said a proud editor, “the city of Lisbon presented to him and his bride, among other things, a pair of jeweled napkin rings. “Napkin rings! : “Gee! “Why, if anybody gave a rich young American couple napkix rings they'd be as insulted as if you gave them ¢elluloid collars or Japanese paper napkins, or second-hand clothing. “Our American millionaires not only have fresh napkins with every meal—napkin rings, indeed—but they even have fresh tablecloths. “Why, I know a Fifth avenue millionaire who wears two clean shirts a day—a colored shirt in the morning, a white one in the evening. He also wears a fresh suit of pajamas every night. His bed has fresh sheets on it nightly. Daily his underwear is fresh. “We lead the world in laundry. bills, as in all things. L “And here's a royalty using napkin rings! Gee! It makes me laugh.” * So saying, the proud society editor gave a loud, harsh, scornful guffaw. Hardening Soft Fats. Catalysis, which is a chemical process in which certain substances provoke or accelerate chemigal reactions by their mere presence and without themselves undergoing .any perceptible change, is finding constantly increasxgg use. In various industries and has recently been applied in the manufacture of soap, stearin and various edible fats. It makes possible the change of soft, liquid fats or oils into bhard fats with a high melting point. Thus an 01l of the consistency of ordinary cotton-seed oil can, by catalysis, be converted into a firm, semi-solid fat with many of the properties of lard. Incidentally catalysis, as used in this class of work, destroys all coloring matter and odoriferous substances, making further purification unnecessary. This process consists of introducing hydrogen into the soft fats in the process of nickel or palladium, either in a pulverized form or in agueous suspension, as the satalytic agent. During the process the fat is heated and in some cases a slight pressure is used.—Popular Mechanics. G

- Has Highest Death Rate. The unenviable recori of possessing what is. probably the highest death rate of any city in the world is stated in the annual report of the British vice consul for Bolivia, Mr. G. T. Maclean, to belong to Cochabamba, where there. was a mortality of 75 per 1,000 last year. This extreme mortality is said to be due not 8o much to climatic or other natural causes as to the lack of knowledge among the lower classes of the most elementary rules of hygiene, a fact which is corroborated by the percentage of infant mortality, ‘about 40 per cent. of the deaths being children under five years of age. . .. ‘ Farmer’s Stationery, ' - ’ Every farmer wh. owns 50 or ‘more acres of land ouzht to have printed stationery, with hig-name and the name of his farm and his postoffice address properly given. The printed heading should also give the names of whatever crops he specializes in, and of what varieties of seed or whatever breeds of hogs, cattle or pouitry he keeps. Printed stationery gives you a new dignity, besides insuring that your name and address will always be given properly and in full—Rural Farmer. - His Clever Answer. = “I learn,” she said ~reproachfully, “that you were devoted to no fewer than five girls before you finally proposed to me. .

A Few of the Thousands of Freak Ears of Corn Sent to WLS as Entries In the Harvest Home Festival and Carnival Corn Show. Freaks of all kinds were gathered on the show tables of WIS hut these freaks were easy to handle hecause they arrvived from corniields throughout the Middlewest and were not at all temperamental, DPrizes were nwarded for the biggest ear of corn, the smallest ear, the pretiiest colored nnd the freakicst shaped. In addition to the freak corn show, WL staged a real Harvest Home Festival and the studio was decorated in keepinz with the fostival program. The above freaks show what a job the judges had in selecting the prize winners. The Harvest Home Festival program incldded some novel acts. Gid Tanner, champion barn dance fiddler of the South, staged his program and was heard frequently, He is a charaeter of the South almost as famous. as the cofton crop. With Gid was Riley Puckett, an old-time southern banjoist. There was a husking bee, a’spelling bee, the Indian legend of corn told in music, the Natiopal Barn Daunce and other specialty numbers. - Members of the board of directors of the National Barh Dance were present and the studio staff was dressed in ginghams and overalls,

A short two years ago, Ruih was begin‘ning to take her name known and cher songs liked over the Saturday might programs of WLS, In a little while she was making records that 'sold like their well-known counterpart ~—the proverbial hot cakes. Then, not ‘content with singing music of some .one else's composition, she wrote a iSong or two which registered with a ‘bang. On top of this eame a decision ‘from the No Juny Artists Ball, declaring Ruth the most typically Amerfcan of all American aciresses. And after that, Zeigfeld—and the I'ollies, Miss Eiting’s first love, however, still claims her, and she rarely comes to Chicago that she does not pay a visit to WLS and sing a couple of the old favorites that started-her on the road to stardom.
