The Federation is growing unwieldy
as to numbers, and the proposed plan
of salvation known as the Penna
scheme was sidetracked at the confer

II may let come up before the body
itself. This plan proposed that instead
OF reducing the number of delegates
from the states, the Federation, in
stead of setting as one body, should
organize in similar fashion to the two
houses of congress. This was incorpor-
ated in a proposed bylaw which was
voted down, and the gist Of the argu-

SPICY CASE COMES
BEFORE THE COURT
Miss Pierce Charged with
Pointing Revolver at Mrs.
Grace Bookhart.

The story of a wife, who followed
other woman, who in turn tried to
shoot the wife, was brought to light
in police court this morning when Miss
Beatrice Virginia Pierce, of west of
the city, was arraigned on the charge
Of pointing a deadly weapon at Mrs.
Grace Bookhart at the Pierce home
last Saturday afternoon. Bookhart
lives at 221S North D street.
Miss Pierce was represented by an
attorney who asked for a change of
venue from special Judge Perry J.
Freeman, who is acting in the absence
of Mayor Zimmerman. The case was
accordingly set for next Saturday
morning when it is expected Mayor
Zimmerman will be able to appear on
the bench.
Ii is alleged Harry Bookhart has
been rather familiar with Miss Pierce.
Saturday afternoon about o'clock it
is stated. Goodhart left his home on
his bicycle and rode to the home of
Miss Pierce, south of the Country club.
Mrs. Bookhart, getting woman friend
to go with her, set out after her hus-
band. following him to the home Of
Miss Pierce, where Mrs. Bookhart left
the rig in charge of her friend and
then walked up and raped on the
front door and asked for her husband.
Miss Pierce. the woman who answered
the knock, told Mrs. Bookhart her hus-
hand was not there, and told her she
might search the lower floor of the
house. Mrs. Bookhart stated she
would wait for her husband outside,
saying that the police would be there
soon and that then they would all
leave together.
Mrs Bookhart's shrewd surmise
proved correct, for soon her husband
emerged from the rear of the house.

tried to leave the place. His wife called

HOOS|ERS PLAYING
PROMINENT PARTS
At the Democratic Conven-
tion.-They Have a Cor
ner on the Jobs.
BY CARL MOTE.

BALTIMORE, June 26-Indiana pol
iticians again occupy the attention of
the nation at Baltimore. Tom Tag
CART is more widely known as Dem
ocratic leader or boss than any other
figure in the convention. John Kern
belongs to a class of popular and well
known, progressives. No state was
more prominent than Indiana in the
first day8s session. There vas an In
diana doorkeeper at every door, an In
diana sergeant-at-arms at every en-
trance, special officers here and as
sistant secretaries there. Every Hoo
sier wears from two teesix badges, six
being the number worn by Jerry Foley
to signify his various honors.
Charles J. Arnold, of Greencastle,
appointed doorkeeper of the conven-
tion had a hard time to connect with
the pay roll. The job pays $40 a day,
and Arnold was anxious to have his
name entered for railroad fare. Every
appointee is entitled to draw real
money for sinecure, but Arnold saw
forty others turned away before he
landed. Friends of Don NJ. Roberts
are expecting him to prorogue the con-
ventiOn. Roberts wears an ordinary
badge but an extraordinary presence.
He was able to get Judge Charles
Holt, of Terre Haute. through the
lines yesterday into the delegate Sec
tion after rebuking two or three high
officials for attempted interference.
Edward G. Hoffman, of Ft Wayne,
is one of the few Hoosiers whose wife
accompanied him to Baltimore. They
were recently married
Representative John j. Keegan. spe-
cial officer of the convention, which is
an honorary job, looked around for
on the rostrum, where he guards one
of the main entrances.
Not a single Hoosier has learned
the directions in Baltimore. The
streets run at all angles and the car
lines seem to run in a circle. Marion
County Chairman Reginald Sullivan
and ex-Chairman Ernest T. Brown took
q SdI IOl Tie yesterday anu
rode out to one of the suburban parks,
where they were invited to pay fare
again.
The rain kept Henry Seifert from
wearing his statesman's clothes yes
terday, and he appeared at the con-
vention with a panama hat and a
fancy vest.
Mark Thistlethwaite is having the
time of his life hunting luggage for
the Marshall constituency and being
interviewed about dark horses"
The broiling sun forshadows a pref
erence for mint juleps today. The
enormous stock of mint in the Bel
vedere hotel has awed the Hoosiers
almost as much as the three battle
ships lying at anchor in the harbor
Although very few women accom-
panied the Marshall boosters TO the
convention. the parade made a re-
spectacle showing before il broke up
last night. many fossy damsels hav-
ing been recruited from the side lines.

JOHNSON MAKES KICK
On Proposed Police Alarm
System for City.

The proposed extension of the po-
lice call system by red lights, flashed
from police headquarters, as a call to
patrolmen, does not meet the favor
of n. II. Johnson, superintendent Of
the city light plant, who states the
cost would be more than the light
plant can afford. To place electric
lights at the Doran bridge, North
Eighth and E street. the east end and
in the north end would necessitate
double lines of copper wires to the
police station, and with copper wire
at 19 cents a pound. Johnson says the
cost would be prohibitive.
A big steel tower, to be erected over
the city building, from which a search
light could be played on all sectionA
of the city attendant with a tapping
of the fire bells, is proposed by John
son, who says this would call the po-
lice even better that electric incan-
would be acceptable.

MOLD AND ITS PREVENTION

of mold are everywhere present, and
they need only warmth and moisture
to enable them to grow on many
kinds of food. These organisms are
always at work in damp cellars and
in dark and damp corners of rooms.
They are borne on the feet of insects
| and they are on the skins of all fruits
and in the dust flying in the air.
They are not fond of light and they
require no great abundance of air,
nourishing best in foods that are
piled close together, leaving small,
un~disturbed air spaces and moisture.
| They always start on the surface and
| throw their thread-like flaments
down into the substance below.
Take, for example. a fine ripe apple
and closely examine the skin. If ii is
in good condition and attractive ii
is almost certain that the flesh Is
protected in the natural way by an
unbroken skin, which resists the en-.
trance of molds and other micro-or-
ganisms. If, however, the apple has
begun to spoil it is almost certain
thai the skin has been broken,
When fruits touch each other the
point of contact is likely to be more
moist than the rest of the fruit and
for this and other reasons it is a
favorite place for the starting OF
mold or other growth. If the skin is
perfectly firm and we rub it with
a clean cloth to dry it and to remove
as many as possible of the mold
germs, then wrap the apple in soft
paper and put it in a cold place,
precautions have been taken which
should hinder or prevent decay. II.
however, the fruit is kept in a warm
and damp place and touching other
fruits. its decay is certain.
In dealing with all varieties of mi
croseopic life we have learned that
to prevent them from getting a start
is the all-important thing.
The first requisite is absolute clean
liness in the storage place. This Is
apt to be attained by the use of soap
and water alone. Fresh air, sun
shine and whitewash are important
aids. Shelves should be washed clean
and then dried. but the undue use OF
water should be avoided, as mois-
ture is one of the chief requisites of
growth.
A cellar may be kept dry by plac-
ing in it dishes of unslaked lime.
which takes up the moisture with
avidity. When the lime crumbles
apart, losing entirely its crystalline
character, it has become "slaked."
will take up nc more water and must
be renewed.
The growth of most molds Is re-
tarded by light, ventilation and low
temperature. Light and ventilation
are important. The right degree of
cold for each different product has
been studied experimentally, and a
knowledge of low temperature in re-
lation to the growth of bacteria and
fungi forms the basis of the cold
storage industry.

Ii a Laddie Meet a Lassie
Miss Doom:

Miss Doom:
As a reader of the Newark Star I
would like to know if it is proper for
a lady to speak to a gentleman first
when meeting on the street. BY an
swering this question in your valuable
paper Won will oblige, r. w.
Yes. it is proper for a lady to se-
knowledge an acquaintance first. OF
course this does not mean that when
a nan sees an intimate friend whu
does not happen to be looking in his
direction he must go meekly by with.
out greeting her, or that if she is
ahead of him he must not overtake
her and walk with her. but 1t does
mean that if the lady sees him she
should give some sign of recognition
before he raises his hat. This leaves
to the oma the privilege of not
acknowledging mountaineering with
a mar who has offended her n
keeps her from being annoyed by
promiscuous greetings from men to
she does not remember having
Deer introduced.

Husband Has Hasty Temper

Dear Miss Doom:
My husband has a very bad temper
which neither of us control. He
gets so angry as to talk to me awful
ly, and the neXt minute he is sorry,
but says he cannot help 1t. as it is his
temper. Could you tell me how to act
during these spells? He also has some
friends that he thinks a great deal OF,
but they are not the best class and !
refuse to associate with them. He
often says he will call on them with
out me some day. What should do?
ANXIOUS.
When he gets angry walk out of the
room. That will keep you from an
swering back. Some time, when he
is feeling in good humor, tell him IN
q laughing way that you're going to
give an alarm signal when you see
him getting angry, and then get him
to agree on what the signal sha be.
Make it funny-like "Pickies." or
"Mo,asses candy or anything that
will create a diversion.
As for your husbands objectionable
friends, if they are decent people
their class should not count with you.
Invite them to your house some eve
ming. give them refreshments and be
such a charming hostess that they
Will all vote your husband the luck

Always try to have a little surprise
in the school lunch box-an extra
relish or a understanding different
from yesterday.
Oftentimes when the mother is max
ing a pie, she can make a little one
in the pattie pan that can be used the
next day for the school lunch. Don't,
however, put berries or any juicy
filling in these pies. as it will be apt
to u out and spoil the entire lunch.
Celery stalks. stuffed with Amer
lean cheese. which has been grated
and mixed with a little salad dress
ing ofttimes makes a nice relish.
Dates stuffed with nuts or marsh
mallows are also very nice.
Occasionally put in a bar of sweet
chocolate or chocolate with almonds.
White bread and butter sandwiches
with just white or brown sugar be-
tween are delicious occasionally and
a most delectable sandwich is made of
toasted baking powder biscuit but
