Prehistoric Earthworks Preser^KK^^S^^^^^^^^ '^r W

Relics of a prehistoric race which once inhabited eastern Indiana, the earthworks preserved in Mounds state park have a continuing attrac- , tion for visitors. This park, located ’ on Roads 32 and 67, a short distance ! east of Anderson, was established in { 1930 and has an area of 251 acres । bordering the White River. The Mounds or earthworks locai ted in the park are among the best

RIALTO THEATRE I Having already watched her three ! older sisters succeed in the arduous | climb to film fame, pretty 12-year-i old Georgiana Young is already enI tertaining screen aspirations for her- ; self. Polly Ann Young, the eldest, led ■ the others. She retired for a career ! of marriage, and then sisters Loretta Young and Sally Blane followed, both of whom are under contract to Twentieth Century-Fox. Ever since Loretta took some scripts home for “Love Under Fire,’’ comedy-drama at the Rialto Theatre Friday and Saturday, in which she appears opposite Don Ameche, she is finding a rabid enthusiasm growing in Georgiana for the screen. Since she herself went into pictures when she was 13. Loretta is having difficulty in explaining to Georgiana why she should wait until she is older to decide whether she wants to follow a movie career. “Double or Nothing” As impressive a cast as you will see in many moons of movies has been asembled by Paramount for its new comedy with music, “Double or Nothing," which comes to the Rialto Sunday and Monday. With Bing Crosby and Martha Raye in the star positions, the cast includes such popular entertainers as Andy Deviae, Mary Carlisle, Wil- . liam Frawley, and also has bits from that famed comedy team, the Cal-1 gary Brothers, the noted eccentric dancing team of Amos and Andy, Alphonse Berg, Tex Morrissey,

Frances Faye and others. In addition there is an aggregation of some 75 beautiful girls and handsome young men known as the “Sing Band." This group uses no musical instruments yet “plays" popular music by imitating the various instruments of a dance orchestra so closely that it is impossible for the human ear to tell the difference. “One Mile from Heaven" As a nimble-footed cop, Bill Robinson again has the opportunity to tap his educated feet to the delight of theatre goers, in “One Mile from Heaven,” Twentieth Century-Fox’s human drama of the strangest case that ever rocked a hall of justice, which comes to the Rialto Tuesday I and Wednesday. | Robinson’s fortune is not in his , hands, but in his feet. Admittedly ! he is the world's greatest and the ! highest paid tap dancer. Allan Dwan • who directed “One Mile form Heavi en,” compares Robinson’s feet with Paderewski's fingers, declaring that whereas Paderewski imparts that important something to his music with his valuable fingers, Robinson has the same added something in his feet. Claire Trevor is featured in * One Mile from Heaven.” with Sally Blane Douglas Fowley and Fredi Washington.

Jap Clears His Name of Murder After 23 Years Tokio.—After spending 23 years in prison, an innocent man, now well advanced in years, tracked down and wrung a confession from the real culprit. Ishimatsu Yoshida was convicted in 1913 of murdering a man and robbing him on a road in Aichi prefecture. Testimony against him was by Loshihei Kitagawa and Shotaro Kaida, who said that Yoshida instigated the assault and subsequently killed the victim with a bamboo flute. Yoshida was sent to the Akita prison. Released in 1935, he set out to hunt down his two former friends. He found Kitagawa at once, and Kitagawa readily wrote a confession saying that Kaida had forced him to testify against Yoshida. Finding Kaida was more difficult, and more than a year elapsed before a piece of stray information sent Yoshida on the right trail. A newspaper, interested in the efforts of the aging man to vindicate himself before death, located Kaida in Saitama prefecture. Yoshida went immediately to the designated village. Coming into the town, Yoshida recognized in a street peddler his long-hunted enemy. Also, Kaida recognized Yoshida. Kaida started to run, but Yoshida caught him and began beating him. Kaida cried out his confession, later put on paper. With the document Yoshida expects to be exonerated at a retrial.' Bag of Plunder Smokes, Bandits Drop Everything Harrison, N. J.—The bravado of two bandits armed with sawed-off shotguns was turned into panic yesterday by a simple smoke bomb device enclosed in a money bag. The bandits got the bag containing $2,700 and the pay roll clerk’s car. When they tried to open the bag yellow fumes poured out of it. They tossed it into a vacant lot and a few yards farther abandoned the car and their guns. Anticlimax Cleveland. — Joseph J. (Flying Dutchman) Dunkel, professional parachute jumper, who in the last 25 years has made 2,226 leaps from planes and balloons without injury, was hospitalized after a tumble from the back of a parked trucktrailer on which he was making some necessary repairs.

Arthur, New Orleans ornithologist, states a New Orleans United Press correspondent. Scientists in search of enemies of the cotton plant, Arthur says, have learned that our quail, generally speaking, does not eat the boll weevil. That duty is left to others of the feathered tribe. The quail or partridge—to call Bob White by what he is not—confines his feasting for the most part to weed seeds. If a weevil-eating bird is to be enthroned in a Cotton Preservation Hall of Fame, then I nominate the following boll weevil destructionists: Baltimore oriole, orchard oriole, nighthawk, purple martin, tree, bank and barn, and round-winged swallows, chimney swifts, yellow-billed cuckoos (rain crows), upland plover, killdeers, grackles (crow blackbirds or chocks), bluebirds, cardinals and mocking birds—to name a few. Robot Policeman Safety Sign So realistic is the figure of a policeman standing in the middle of the street in front of a school that motorists apply their brakes before they are near enough to discover it is a sheet metal “traffic cop.” The figure is five feet six inches high, of sixteen or eighteen gauge sheet metal reinforced by a three-quarter- i inch pipe that extends through the base into a hole in the pavement five or six inches deep. When school is over for the day the safety sign is lifted out of the hole and stored | away.—Popular Mechanics Maga- ‘ zine. Free State Ilas Few in Jails That Irish Free State has the lowest prison population of any country in Europe was the statement made by Miss Margery Fry at a luncheon in Dublin of the Howard League for Penal Reform. The figures, based on the League’s statistics, showed that per 100,000 of population, prison population was: Irish Free State, 18.4; England and Wales, 29.9; Scotland. 26.7; Northern Ireland, 30.9; Sweden, 38.5; Italy, 126. Germany’s figures were confused by large numbers in concentration camps.

MMie Dame Moves into Pittsburgh After a surprise 0 to 0 tie with Illinois last Saturday, Notre Danie ' will journey to Pittsburgh Saturday ' for the 14th renewal of its colorful | football series with Carnegie Tech. ; ■ resist two Indiana defeats in a row. j ' Purdue’s licking she will be. ready to And with Tech still stinging from I The Irish know that Tech has always presented a sturdy defensive > team, and that this year its offense ' will probably be somewhat improved j over the past several seasons. The ! i Tartans have a brand new coaching ! । staff, headed oy Bill Kern, former ! Pitt Assistant who replaced the late I Judge Walter P. Steffen last spring. Kern scouted Notre Dame for j Pittsburgh the last several years j and he is thoroughly familiar not . only with the Irish attack but also I with the personnel of the team, ' barring three or four sophomores I who have taken th sir places with | the first three teams. Thus, Notre Dame can expect a stiffer defensive battle, too, than it has had recently from Tech. Coach Kern is frankly optimistic about some of the finest material Tech has had in recent years. Seven of last year’s starters are back, as compared with three for Notre ' Dame. Seven of the nine substi- ' tutes who saw action last year have also returned to the Tech fold. Although the entire 1936 starting । backfield is back, it appears that Marlyn Condit will break into the lineup as a sophomore at right । half back. Steve Miklaucic, 1936 l right end, may be replaced by Karl I Striegel, sophomore candidate. The Irish will start a team composed of eight seniors and three juniors, all of whom appeared against Toch last year, although some of them were in the battle only a few moments. Coach Elmer Layden will andoubtedly concen trate in setting up a defense for the passing of Ray Carnelly. Condit, and Jerry Matelan. Carnelly scored Tech's only touchdown in last year’s 21 to 7 game on a pass from Maurice Patt. Matelan completed five of the nine passes he threw, and he averaged 5.3 yards from scrimmage on seven attempts. “Sparky” Miller Ignites I. U. Line

Beaver Become More Numerous in State Beaver, once the mainstay of the fur trapper, are becoming more and more numerous in Indiana through the encouragement of the Department of Conservation. In a recent survey a dozen beaver dams were located on the Jasper-Pulaski and Kankakee state game preserves and adjoining areas. Considerable interest in beaver is being shown by farmers. Through the dams built by the beaver, water tables have been raised in adjoining fields with a consequent benefit to crops. Under an act of the General Assembly, beaver are protected and it is unlawful to take, kill, posess or molest any beaver, or its untanned hide; to destroy a beaver den, dam or burrow; to sell or buy a beaver or its untanned hide. Beaver damaging property are to be reported to the Division of Fish and Game, for removal. More than a million auto license plates have been sold in Indiana to date. This is the first time in history the total has exceeded that mark.
