by Arthur Brisbane BURY ME IN PINK GANDHI S APPEAL THE KING'S MAXIM . IF WAR DID COME Women’s interest in dress, strong and deep, goes back a million years. - She started With a necklace according to scientists. First an ornament around the neck, then one around the waist, then a skirt and all sorts of things, A woman in California, who murdered a man and killed herself asked to be buried in white satin with > yellow'roses in her hand. A well-known actress in New 1 ork jumps from a twentieth story window and makes two requests: first, that she be buried in pink satin; second, that her husband keep away from the funeral. Beautiful in, sincerity and humility is Gandhi’s appeal to the British government. “On bended knees, I ask you to ponder this phenomenon” — namely ,the “impoverishing of India’s dumb millions” by Britain. Gandhi aaya, “I do not intend to harm a single Englishman.” He will ctaly resist passively. Very touching, but not the attitude that gains Independence, not the attitude of a people ready for independence. Britain set a different exanmple before the Hindus after the Sepoy rebellion. The British put murderous rebels imide of cannon and' blew them 10 pieces, knowing that religious superstition would make the punishment most terrible. 4 No rebellion of consequence since then. One industry marches on to higher and higher figures. In the cigarette business, prosperity reigns. Everybody always has money to buy cigarettes, and all feel that they must have them, job or no job. Last year’s production was one hundred and nineteen billion cigarettes, almost a thousand cigarettes per year for every man, woman and child in the United States. ■- • ■- !. ’ - ’ One tWng most important to all business men in connection with the gigantic cigarette' industry: Cigarette men are the most aggressive, energetic, and continuous advertisers in Um nation. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey sets an example to other oil concerns, voluntarily reducing its refinery operations one-seventh. Refining is a conUnuous process, and must continue seven days a week but only six day’s actual work will be done, to prevent overproduction. And most important part of the good example, men will not be discharged or have their wages cut. An English clergyman remits King George's six maxims, all hung up on the walls of his library. The first is: “Teach me to be obedient to the Hiles of the game.” Excellent for a constitutional monareg obeying the will of his people. fullers of a different kind, Alexander, Caesar, had a different maxim: “See" that you obey the rules of the game as I ihake them.” We do not understand the management of prisons, or our criminals are different from other criminals. Weeks ago. Warden Hoffman of Auburn jrison, New York, told a reporter: “We are sitting on a powder keg." Recently a convict stabbed the head keeper of the prison to death. He knew that the electric chair, nearby, would inevitably avenge that murder. Nevertheless he committed it. General Ely, commanding the second corp area, has a plan to defend New York City in war. He would “mobilize the civilian services." If modern war came, the civilian services would mobilise themselves. And with them the six million population of New York, as msny as survived the first gas and bomb attacks, would mobilise themselves by scattering through the country abandoning the city as rats leave a ship when it is sinking. In case of an attack by airplane, which would be the first sort of attack in a new war, it would not be necessary for General Ely to worry about his suggestions for, “guarding the water supply.” After the first half hour, there wouldn't bo anybody left in New York to drink water. The dead couldn't drink It, and all the live would have left the city. « i — An encouraging statement comes from Edsol B. Ford .now in Florida. He is one who talks rarely,, and who thinks first.

The smaller of the two stills was the one in use, according to Mr. Craft. In relating the story, he said that the mash was carried from the cellar | of the house ,in tubs, and thrown in • the yard. One still and some of the mash was taken to Warsaw as evidence, when 1 the ’prisoners were taken to jail Saturc ay. Mr. Craft said that when the offi-I cers entered the house and arrested I the two men there, a 15 year old boy who must have been up stairs, escaped from the window, and wasn’t seen by the officers until he ran across the fields and escaped. Shepard and Yocum, according to Mr. Craft, had moved from Kimmel, ; but a week before, to the Kapp prop- I erty east of town.

HARD TIMES PARTY TURNS INTO BANQUET FOR GUESTS •. ’ .

An unusual party was enjoyed 1 Tuesday evening when Mrs. Joe Ruch 1 entertained her Syracuse bridge club ‘ friends at her home in Milford. . Invitations written on brown wrapping paper had been sent to tell the < guests it was to be a hard time party, ’ and they dressed accordingly. But ! when they reached the long table s set in the kitchen, it was so heavily ] laden as to suggest the opposite of hard times. Mrs. Fetters, of Milford, 89 years 1 old, had allowed Mrs. Ruch to cover i the long table with her linen table cloth with its read border and fringe. It hadn’t been used for 40 years. ' In the center was placed the i pounded silver casters, and the spoon holder. Coal oil lamps furnished . the light; plates were turned upside- < down and coffee was served in cups without handles.

And if a rush order of some special fla- ■ vor comes in the machine will oblig- 1 ingly turn it out in seven minutes. READ THE ADS! THEY ARE NEWS ITEMS TOO! * What a want ad in the Syracuse Journal will do for both buyer and seller, is illustrated by the ad run in last week’s paper by Mr. Heerman of the Lake Wawasee Golf Club, who announced he wanted to ay 5,000 square feet of good. Whe ‘left the ad at the’ office, M >i«Mrman said he was afraid L jwvtlld be necessary to buy the sod in Ohio, but he’d advertise to see if there was any in this section of Indiana. Within a few hours after the paper was out last tveek, the Golf Club had enough calls announcing Indiana sod for sale, to regrass a 72-hole course, according to Mr. Heerman. RUNAWAY MACHINE STOPPEDBY WOMAN Mrs. C.| W. Howard stopped the mad stampede of a ■wild animal on Huntington street Monday about 5 p. m.., and brought the runaway ca rof Ray Foster to a standstill before an ygreat damage was done. Mrs. Ray Foster had parked her car on Huntington near Main street, headed towards the bridge. She had scarcely left the machine, when it started off bn its own. When it came opposite the Howard Plumbing Shop, where Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Harve Cory were talking, Mrs, Howard shouted, “There is no one in that car.” She raced to the street, but before she could reach the machine, it had knocked the fender of the parked Cory car hard enough to push the machine onto the pavement nearly the sign board back of the Jet White Store. The Foster car continued on down Huntington street, and Mrs. Howard jumped on the running board, got the door open and applied the brakes before further damage was done. J. E. Burket had seen the accident, pushed from the Jet White store, and backed the car into a parking place near the curb. — —o— JESSE E. RENTFRQW > ASKS FOR DIVORCE Jeue E.

Following the supper, two tables of bridge were enjoyed, Miss Alice Mann winning the prize for high score, and Miss Louise Butt that for second high. The prizes were wrapped in newspaper. Nine guests attended the party. Mrs. Orval Klink, who had been sick for two days, was able to come. The next meeting is at the home of Mrs. Estel Moore ,in Cromwell. The party wasn’t ended at Ruch’s. On the way home the first machine, carrying Mrs. Klink, Misses Gertrude Hoch, Alice Mann and Helen Jeffries, had a flat tire. The girls,* dressed for hard times, jumped out to flag the car of their friends, they thought. But the next car along proved not to be others dressed for hard times, and caused one of lift’s eXob’ar'rti&Wg nfttoetfCi

M. GARRISON KITSON CASE IS DECIDED Defendant Wins Trial Deciding Garnishing Os Wages The case of Mart = (Happy) Garrison, against Levi Kitson, justice of the peace in Syracuse, was decided in favor .of the defendant, Justice Kitson, in the circuit court in War- , saw, Monday morning. Attorney George Xanders, representing Mr. Kitson, and Guy Dausman, representing Mr. Garrison, met in the rear assembly room of the court room, Monday .Jnorning, and there discussed issues of the case, and agreed on a statement of facts. These facts were taken down by a stenographer. When Judge Royse asked the attorneys if they were prepared for trial, they answered that they had reached an agreemen: < s to u ? facts of the case, and weie icaGy to submit these to the court without witnesses. Judge Royse instructed the stenographer to appear in court and read to him the statement agreed upon, and set down by her. This was done in open court .and Judge Royse, after a few moments consideration,' decided that the action of the Jvs tice, Mr. Kitson was in due form am legal, and properly set forth in the Justice’s record.

Seider, in the original action .thereby releasing the fendant, Justice Kitson, from any" further obligation. . In the case’Monday, the plaintiff, Mr. Garrison, contended that the grocery bill which originally caused air the legal proceedings, had been contracted before the date of the passage of the garnishee law, and that this being 8 the case ,the Seider and Burgener grocery could not have brought proceedings against him for the garnishment of his wages for. payment of the bill. The defendant contended that proceedings for the garnishment of ' wages were in order. Judge Royse said that a precedent had been established years ago for his decision; that it had been decide dthat every householder was exempt S6QO worth of property from execution .even though the property was bought when a S3OO exemption law was in effect. ’ * The date of the judgment against Mr. Garrison was Dec. 1928, The date of the law on the garnishing of i wages was 1925.
