State PoliCe Get Results Summary of activities of the Indiana state police for the last quarter of 1932 just submitted by Chief Grover C. Garrott to Secretary of State Frank Mayr, Jr.,, shows that the department’s new policy of stricter enforcement of the motor vehicle laws is producing positive - and definite benefits, { . M 3 During the three months, the department issued 1854 warnings and made 302 arrests in the gradual . tightening up of its enforcement pro- . gram, Chief Garrott said.
Truck law arrests for the quarter numbereq 213. This work done in part in co-operation with state highway commission employes and local officers, reflects to some extent the recent Kentucky-Indiana truck feud. During the quarter the number of trucks checked over the violations of the truck law which went into operatiodn on July 1 last was 1,486, - . School bus cases handled by the department totaleq 574. Cases of improper parking acted on by the state police under the regulations affecting broken down or stalled trucks numbered 138.
During the three months of October November and December state police officers patroled the roads of the state for a total of 449,886 miles, During the fiscal year ending September 30 1932 the department- totaled 1,919,124 miles covered. This record Mr. Garrott pointed out is considerably better than that of state police and state highway patrols over the country
Atempts to Enter Dental Offices
Attempts were made to enter two dental offices at LaGrange Monday night but neither succeeded.
It is believed that one was foiled when Dr. Jean P. Lieb went to the of fice he occupies with Dr. J. K. Duff. In the hall he found a middlesaged well dressed man, He asked the man what he wished and the stranger said that he was waiting for someone whom he was to have met at a dentist’s office.
The man_followed Dr, Lieb into his office. When Dr. Lieb offered to tele phone Dr. W. C, Ballou to see if the other man were there the stranger demurred. However Dr Lieb attempt ed to call and then learned that his telephone line had been cut just outside of his office. At this point the stranger left. :
Dr, Lieb had noted on entering that the lock on his office door had been tampered with. Soon after Dr. Ballou came to tell him that his office door lock also had been tampered with
Tl’é stranger escaped. It is thought that he intended to loot the offices of precious metals used in dental work.

(MASTODON SLAIN BY INDIANS?
Scientist Makes {lRteresting Deductions for Remains Found in North Indiana :
Mastodons which may have been 'hunted by post-glacial Indians in Indiana attracted interest of scientists attending the joint annual conventions of the American Geological Mineraological and Paleontological societies at Cambridge Mass. ‘ John T. Sanford assistant professor of geology at the University of Rochested described the giant mastodon which he helped to recover at Cromwell two years ago. ; The skeleton discovered when a farmer’'s boy while hunting small game stubbed a toe over a 12-foot tusk which protruded above the ground possesses considerable scientific interest because of the subsequent finding of Indian darts in the same stratum only a few feet away thus giving rise to the supposition that the mastodon met death at the hands of Indian ‘hunters. 1
Since the mastodon was buried on a layer of glacial deposit it proved, Sanforq suggested that the mammoth lived as comparatively recently as 5,000 years ago. It is definitely postglacial he declared, ‘
