countered in a textbook suggested that he look for amplification under Louis XIV. “I followed the suggestion religiously,” avers Sullivan, ‘‘and there was Louis XIV asking indignantly, ‘What are you looking under me

for?’”

Obituary Elizabeth Emmerine Kersey, daughter of Eleazor L. and Ruth Ann Gorham Kersey was bom Nov. 29, 1876 in Marion Township, Putnam County, Indiana. She attended the local schools and prepared herself for teaching by attending Terre Haute State Normal and DePauw University. For seven years before her marriage she taught in the district schools of Marion Township and in the Fillmore School. She was married to Dallas Omer Dunlavy on March 9, 1902, and to this union were born two daughters, Ruthven and Esther. She joined the Christian Church when Rev. Will Harvey Brown was minister. Later, in 1905, she transferred her membership to the Fillmore Methodist Church with her husband. She taught a Sunday School class for several years until her health failed. Since her husband's death in 1948 she has continued to manage the family farm where she had lived for | over 57 years. Although her health restricted her activities in recent years, she loved to read and kept a keen interest in current events and community affairs. She was a member of the W.S.C.S. and of the Beechwood Pleasant Circle Club. She is survived by the tw'o daughters, Ruthven Morgan of Boswell and Esther Quick of Fillmore, the two sons-in-law T , three grandchildren. Nancy Broglin, Dwight Morgan and Marcia Muller, and four greatgranddaughters. Two sisters also sunive, Mrs. Honora Littell of Canton, Ohio and Mrs. Eva j Reitzel of Barberton. Ohio, and a number of nieces and nephews. In addition to the husband, she was preceded in death by I two sisters. Mrs. Mary Hessler and Mrs. Ella Ader and by three brothers, Fred, Ed and Newton Kersey. One of her favorite quotations was from Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant: So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves | To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death ! Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night I Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Coliseum explosion damages settled

Living costs rise for fourth month

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The final settlement of damages resulting from the 1963 Halloween explosion at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum was made today, with the distribution of S2.5 million in checks. More than 450 claims I were filed against the various defendants, including the State Fair Board which owns the building, the companies which supplied and delivered the propane gas blamed for the blast, ' the ice show which was in progress at the time and the Coliseum Corp. Of these, 74 were wrongful death cases with the others l based on injuries received by more than 400 persons. The checks were being distributed today to attorneys rep- ] resenting the claimants by Robert G. Newbold, clerk of the Federal Court. The total amount paid out in settlements | was $3.5 million. A previous ; distribution was made. The largest claim was $100,- ; 075 on behalf of Barbara Staten, whose parents and a brother were killed. She was badly hurt in the explosion. Included in the distribution was $500,000 from the Indiana State Fair Board which came j from earnings at the fairgrounds and not from taxes. In making the settlements, the fair board and the various insurance companies representing the other defendants did not

admit liability and the legal question of whether the state could be sued was not answered.

In the bag NEW YORK UPI—One solution to the dilemma of returning misrouted baggage has been devised by Air France whose ticket offices give passengers adhesive identification labels to stick inside their luggage. If the outside baggage tag is lost, the airline can immediately identify the owner and forward his luggage.

WASHINGTON UPI —For the fourth consecutive month, the cost of living rose threetenths of one per cent in January, the government reported Thursday. The Labor Department said the index stood at 118.6 in January —3.4 per cent higher than a year ago. Most of the January increase was due to higher costs of food, gasoline, medical eare and postage, officials said. The increase means that It took $11.86 last month to buy the same market basket of goods and services that $10 bought about 10 years ago. The base period used in the index is 1957-59. The department also reported that the index for wholesale prices increased by fourtenths of one per cent In January to 107.2 of the 1957-59 base period. The January increase was less than 1 per cent above the level of a year ago but preliminary statistics indicate a year ago but preliminary statistics indicate a six-tenths | of one per cent increase was in the offing for February. While living costs were Increasing in Jauary, the average weekly pay of factory workers fell by 50 cents. Labor Department spokesmen said the 50-cent decline was caused by a drop in the average work week. Heaviest hit was the construction industry which drop-

ped by two hours to less than 35 hours a week in January. The wage decreases meant a decline in the amount of money which workers had available for spending after taxes. Net spendable earnings for a worker with a wife and two children dropped 39 cents to $92.11 out of a gross weekly earning of $103.40. The increase in food prices, which rose eight-tenths of one per cent at the retail level in January, was due mainly to higher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. Meat and dairy products also continued to show slight advances. About half of the total advance of the consumer price indicator came in the area consumer services. Doctor fees, hospital services and first and third class postages rates set the pace. Higher postal rates went into effect shortly after the first of the year. The Labor Department also said gasoline and motor oil prices registered a 1.1 per cent retail gain while wholesale prices declined by 1.2 per cent.

New car prices rose by four4 tenths of 1 per cent as auto manufacters introduced additional safety equipment aa standard for the first time in January.
