The prosecuting attorneys office had
a complete case against the Gary negro

murders that have taken place among
Gary negroes it Is highly probable
that to go to trial with the case would
have resulted in verdict of murder in
the first degree and a hanging later on.
Two Gary holdup men were found
guilty in Judge Beckers court yester-
day afternoon and were sentenced.
They were Sterling Snordan and Alex

 It is a belief for which there is no foundation at all Many good artists are also very good business men that is to say, so far as the conduct of their own business matters is concerned.

 very clever writer and delight. ful woman recently contributed all article 10 publicat on which is worth reading by every unmarried woman. Her subject was "Old Maids and Supercilousness" Every city Is full of splendid women who for one good reason or another have never married. Everyone under stands perfectly we'll that it was not because they never had an op- portunity to marry. and yet almost unccnsciously they permit a spirit of superciliousness to permeate the,r whole intercourse with their married friends.

 The expression appears first around
 the mouth, What was orig nally an expression Of sweetness and purity. hardens into primness. and that n turn into an air If supercliousness l would advise every unmarried woman over twenty-five to carefully study her face in the mirror in or der to make sure that no such un. pleasan thing is happening to her mouth.
 This type develops mostly in the intellectual class. because it is a life which eXalts the intellectual and de precates the physical, which fosters it. Its members seem 10 look d VII upon their married friends as up- on people who have made an unfor tunate mistake. or yielded to an un- fortunate weakness
 If marriage happens to bring to her friends temporary sacrifice of some of the luxures which the bachelor-g.r Il can still enjoy. she is blatanly plying And when the promise fl motherhood comes to her married friend, this unpleasant tybe of bachelor-girl usually acts as il tragedy had happened.
 Now there is nothing to be asham- ed of in being unmarr ed But ne.th- CT is there anything to be supereil- ious about. And when bachelor-girl gets into the frame of mind in which she looks down upon all her married friends. she can know shes got as tigmatism If the heart
