close, but under our laws it is extremely difficult to get cases against sii"h places. Warnings repoatedl have been sent to the proprietors ui these places, and they have been visited by the police from time to time, but so far the necessary evidence afrainst them has been lacking. No Bad Resorts. "i'lorn the standpoint or houses of ill fame and other places used for itru.'.or;') purposes. Richmond is distinctive among other Indiana cities by t he la; k of them. "Where tilt? social evil, a problem the world has never yet satisfactorily solved, is seen at its worst in Richmond is on our streets. With the closing of all recognized houses of ill fame some years ago, and the enforcement of the policy of suppressing all such places, the number of street women has steadily increased. They can not be prevented from walking the streets unless they are actually violating some law or ordinance. Some take men to their homes, their boarding houses or to the few places of ill repute, but it is a difficult tsk to suppress such practices, for it is almost impossible to secure convictions, the provisions of the laws being so drastic." Mr. Gormon said the police had records of but few so called "kept" women, but that information on this phase of the socktl evil was extremely difficult to obtain. "Three such women and the men with whom they have been living have been arrested the last four months, and as in each case the man was single, 1 induced them to marry, one ceremony being performed by the mayor," said the chief. Dances Are Responsible. Mr. Gormon frankly charges many of the modern dances as being the means for recruiting the ranks of the street women. "Public dance hails in Richmond are as well oonducted as possible , and are under strict police supervision, but we cannot stop these bunny hug, hear cat and tango dances, and many young girls forfeit their good names by indulging in them.' the chief grimly remarked. "There is gambling in Richmond and I expect always will be. for it appears that the love of gambling it. inherent in all human beings, but the old 'poker dens' and vrap dens' are things of the past, "".Mr. Gormon on- , tinned. "Probably there is c onsiderable gambling in many homes, hut .we have no way of finding this out. In some public places gambling on the quiet is tolerated, and it is almost impossible to stamp out t'ais practice.' Petty thieving and other crimes of greater or less importance- continue. !as is natural, the chief stated, but the criminal element has been successfully held in check in Richmond for a number of years, and there has also been a steady decrease in drunkenness. "All in all. we have a pretty good city," .Mr. Gormon concluded

Gaby Deslys, the music hall star, who was partly responsible for the dethronement of King Manuel of Portugal, had something to say about American men while tilling an engagement at St. Louis recently. She said she liked the American men because "they are all like big babies." The fascinator of a king added that American men are so impulsive you can not always believe what they say. "They are your wannest friends in live minutes." she says, "and in the next five they forget you exist."

jWORK STARTS ON HILL I Slope to Be Bricked and the i Grade Reduced.

Work was started today on the Twelfth street hill which will be lowered six feet, before the construction of the Middleboro concrete road is commenced. The hill itself will be bricked.

HOW TO SAVE YOUR EYES

935.20 to complete the payment of the debt. City Controller McMahan reported that at the close of the Zimmerman regime thf treasury would contain between $2j,een and $30,000. An exact estimate, he said, could not be made, since he has no way of knowing what expenditures would be made, or did not know just how much would come in from taxes. City Attorney Bond explained the plan made by Mayor Zimmerman. B. A. Kennephol and himself for making the appropriation. For several years reports of the City Clerk and after hiia the City Controller have shown a shortage in the Special improvement fund. In 1912 when the books were examined by the state board of accountants tliirt shortage was S2S.435.20. That year $4,000 was paid. This year it was reduced by $10,500. For 1114 the city budget contains an appropriation of $5.0nO to be paid into the fund. Balance Due $3,935.20. This according to liond leaves a balance of $8,035.20, which is due from the city to the light plant funds. The appropriation of this money and the payment to the light plant fund he explained would stop interest now being paid on the S8.935.2U. and would wipe out the indebtedness to the ight plant fund. The appropriation will provide for payment from the general fund into the light plant fund of this money which wps borrowed from the light plant for the special improvement fund. In a written statement to the board former City Attorney Gardner suggested the issue of bonds bearing four per cent, such bonds to be placed to the credit of the special Improvement sinking fund to retire bonds taekn over for such fund. The board preferred the other plan. Urges Appointment. Regarding the building inspector Mayor Zimmerman moved the appointment of William Middleton. The new building code which becomes operative Jan. 1, provides for such an official at a salary not to exceed $1,000 a year. Since the present administration retains office until noon of Jan. 5, Zimmerman held that it was within his power to make the appointment, otherwise the city, under the new measure, would be five days without an inspector. Protesting against assessment roll on the lateral sewer in the alley north of Charles street, Ed Wilkins, Jonathan Evans and J. H. Bell appeared before tfie board. They were under the impression that the city paid for intersections. Members of the board explained that the city only bore part

of the expense on trunk sewers, while the whole cost of lateral lines was placed on the property owners. Extensions Complete. The sewer extensions at the ends of KInsey, Pearl and Lincoln streets were reported complete by City Engineer Charles, and were approved by the board. The board ordered the following amounts paid to contractors on the recommendation of Charles: C. M. Kirkpatnck. $249 25; II. C. Foster. $382.12; William F. Hendricks. $1,000. President Kennepohl and Fire Chief Miller were asked to investigate Robert Randle's complaint regarding a telephone pole in the alley at the rear of 1234 Main street, and a garbage box in the same alley.

Fur Opening at Knollen-; berg's Friday. An unfortunate known as "the man who can't !a':?h'' recently got a verdict of $25."!mi from his former employers. He was thrown 14o feet down an elevator tdiaft. broke the second cervical vertebra, and has since lived in a t-teel orst with a head guard which prevents him from moving his head even a fraction of an inch. The slightest twist of his neck might break the spinal cord and kill him. A laugh or a sneeze would probably do this, hence his name.

Here is a home-made remedv that takes hold of a cough almost instantly, and will usually conquer an ordinary coufrh in '24 hours. This recipe makes a pint enough for a whole familv. You couldn't buy as much or as good readymade cough syrup for "2.,"i. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 'j pint of warm water, and stir 2 minutes. Put 22 ounces of. Finex (fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add the Sugar Svrup. This keeps perfectly and has a pleasant, taste children like it. Braces np the appetite and is slightly laxative, which helps end a cough. You probably know the medical value f pine in treating bronchial asthma, bronchitis, spasmodic croup and whooping cough. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and other natural healing pine elements. Other preparations will not work in this combination. The prompt results from this inexpensive remedy have made friends for it in thousands of homes in the United States ui Canada, which explains why the plan has been imitated often, but never successfully. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. Your druggist has Pinex ,or will pet it for you. If not, send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.
