Eells Outlines Plan, Favoring Taxation to Finance Building. That a coliseum built to the memory of those who sacrificed their all during tho world war would be much more appropriate than an arch or monument was the general expression of opinion by Ministers of the city Monday morning at the regular meeting of the South Bend and Mishawaka Ministerial association held at the Y. M. C. A. The question of public morals was not mentioned. Nevertheless plans are being formulated to secure either Chief of Police Kline or City Attorney Slick to speak to the ministers at their meeting, to be held next Monday morning. Dr. A. M. Fells, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, gave his views on the coliseum proposition, in which he endeavored to s.how why a building Is much more appropriate as a memorial to the heroes than is an arch or statute. The latter loose their significance after 10 or 15 yeartfand become simply things of the past, while a coliseum built for constant use by the public will live forever as a memory of those who gave themselves for freedom, h asserted. In speaking of the various sites proposed for such a coliseum Dr. Kells declared he believed the proper one is where the Oliver Hats now stands, from Colfax to the alley north on the west side of Main tt. He is opposed to having a market placo on the first floor of such a building. "The project should be," Dr. Fells said, "under the jurisdiction of a board of control. This board should be comprised of representatives of the laboring classes, as well as others, and should also have women on it. Without such a committee on board this proposition wil never mature. Favors Taxation Plan. "A vital point at hand relative to financing this project is to where tho money is coming from. It has been suggested thnt It be taken by voluntary subscription, which I strongly oppose. I am sure this manner of raising the necesary funds will be approved by a great number, but I am much more sure that the actual slgnlm of the checks and passing the money over will be a very difllcult thing, even from those proposing such a manner of raising the money. In other words, it is the "tight wads that are wanting and endeavoring to get such a measure through and following the measure they cr:n easily side step. The best and most sensible method of acquiring the finances Is by taxation. Through this method every person in the county will help build that memorial to the soldiers and sailors and will always feel proud that they contributed to the movement, even thougli it was through taxation. A general discussion followed the outline given by Ir. Kell, in which a number of the ministers expressed their views of the matter. A special session was held behind closed doors by the members of the association following the regular meeting. IN THE DIVORCE MILL Two days of married life were enough for Charles Smith, present residence unknown, according to the affidavit filed in superior court Monday by Jessie A. Smith, asking divorce on grounds of desertion. The couple was married on Nov. 11, 1316, and Charles departed on the 13th. He is believed to be somewhere in New York, his wife hays. Charging that lie had failed to provide fer her for more than two years, and that he frequently struck her. Bessie Brown hati filed puit for divorce from Louis Brown In the superior court Thf couple was married June 19, 1910, and separated Sept. 15 of last year. The plaintiff asks custody of the G-year-oM d.u"v,fer.

STOCKS RESUME Studebaker Prominent Among Motor Issues, With Good Buying Demand. NEW YOIIK, Feb. I,;. Stocks resumed their upward movement today with oil and motor issues leading in strength and activity. Prominent among the motor issur-s was Studebaker which reached 55 1-2 on what is considered very good clas,s of buying. Pan-American Petroleum was the favorite in the oil stocks, reaching 79 7-8, or the hi'-jhett price at which this stock has ever sold. Advices from New York were to the effect that the senate committee had tabled the McAdoo railroad plan, practically assures the postponement of tho subject for the next congress. Railroad stocks, were a bit firmer on news from Washington that the house appropriation committee had favorably reported the bill carrying $750,000,000 for government operation of railroads. On such a rally as was established today, there was. of course, some profit taking but the preponderance of news was bullish and we believe the chances still favor the buyer of securities.

GOOD OPENINGS FOR AUTO MECHANICS MADE COMPETENT BY SCHOOL One of the most popular occupations for which disabled soldiers are being trained by the federal board for vocational education is that of auto mechanics, and those who take and finish the course have no difficulty in finding steady employment at remunerative wages There aro many opportunities in the motor industry; the calls for competent men greatly exceed the supply, and probably will continue to exceed the number of available men for some years at least. Another development or specialized branch of this training is that of the operation, care and repair of farm tractors and farm machinery generally. This Is affording boys who have been raised on the farms a chance to become specialists in a line which is steadily growing, for all indications are that the age of machinery and labor saving appliances on the farms is right at hand. Tractor operators are in good demand, especially on the large prairie wheat farms of the northwest. The federal board for vocational education nt Washington is anxious to correspond with any disabled soldiers or sailors or members of the families of s.uch men. Even if he has gone out in civil life and attempted to make his living without special training, and finds his handicaps too much for him, he is still entitled to this special training by the government, absolutely free and is given a support fund of 465 per month while he Is in training, with the practical certainty of a position being ready for him when he has finished his course and is competent to take on the work and a first class salary. proposes mi:mouial.
