The predicament Of traction COM

financial storm" was related by Evans
Woollen, of Indianapolis, when he ap-
reared as a witness Tuesday at the
hearing conducted by the public serv-
ice commission on petitions of Hoosier
interurbans to increase passenger fare
from 2A to cents mile.
Investment money conditions are
more unfavorable now than they have
been for IL or Is years" Mr.. Woollen
said. The money market in Indian
apolis and in the country is not favor
able to interurban company loans"
In reply to further questions the wit
ness said he believed that he increase
of fares TO cents mile would help
the companies some, but traction Sc
curities would not be made more sal
able until there is a change in finan-
cial conditions
The fact that the Pennsylvania rail-
! road has been forced to give Z per
cent on a loan, which rate, Mr.. Wool
| len said, will amount to at least S per
cent after underwriting fees are
charged off, will force Indiana inter
urbans to pay about 2 per cent more
than the railroad to obtain money.

What's In a Name
LULU
(Copyright)

L.
Yesterdays discussion Of Loretta
suggests Lulu as an interesting paral-
lei study. Lulu is also the result of
modern spelling. It's correct form is
Loulou a version which originated and
is still favorite in France.
It's popularity is attributed to the
Provencal Lora de Sades, beloved of
Petrarch, whose story is considered
enc of the worlds greatest romances.
She is the lady whose praises are
sung by the great Italian poet in his
Rhine" or sonnets. She is identified
with Lora de Moves. an Avignonese
lady, who died of the plague in 134S
and who was already married to
Hughes de Sades in 1927. when
Petrarch is said to have first seen
her.
The romantic nature of the French
caused the name of the lovely heroine
to find extraordinary vogue in that
country However, Lora or Laura is
scarcely euphonius to French ears and
she became Laure, and finally Loulou.
In this country, Lulu Is the accepted
form and her association with Laura
is practically forgotten. Sometimes
the name is even regarded as a
diminutive of Louise.
Jet is Lulu's talismanic stone. 1t is
the symbol OF sorrow. but according to
an old superstition, it will protect its
wearer from sorrow since it has an
almost unique power among gems of
becoming a part of the very body and
soul If guarded with jealous care.
Friday is Lulu's lucky day and 4 her
lucky number.

Heart Problems
Dear Mrs. 7

Dear Mrs. thompson: Is it neces-
sary for chaperone to go along with
a sixteen-year-old girl who goes to
another town to dance? My daughter
and l disagree on this question.
MRS. SMITH.
Yes, a chaperone should go along.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: My wife is
not satisfied with the money l am
able to earn and she wants to go to
work. 1 realize that she has a hard
time because she has all her own
work to do, including the laundry
work, and she has never been used to
this.

ployer calls a good salary, but it
will not buy the kind of things we
haze been used to.
Do you think my wife ought to
give up the idea of working for my
sake, or ought | to let her accept a
position because she thinks she will
be happier working?
DOUBT1NG DON.
The arguments arc strong on both
sides. 1t does seem as if your wife
ought to be able to find moro ways

to economic if you have as good a
salary as your employer seems to
think. On the other hand she seems
to be managing as best she knows
how. 1t is hard for a woman who
has never done laundry work to under
take it.
l believe I would bury my pride and
let my wife have her way. She will
be happier if she has money to make
her life easier. If you work conscien-
tiously you will surely advance. When
times settle you probably will make
enough so that your wife can have
what she needs and stay at home.
1t is tragedy that prices have
gone so high that the high wages of
today cannot combat them. The hap
piness in thousands of homes is cloud
ed in the same way yours is.

Method Discovered
For Controlling
Summer Disease
Physicians Advising Their Pa.
tients To Take Two-Grain
Doses of Calomel

Physicians are now advising their
patients to begin early in the spring
taking occasional two-grain doses of
calomel to keep the liver active and
the system pure and clean. Calomel
not only stimulates the flow of bile
but also acts as an intestine anti
septic. This gives the system the
needed power to resist contagious
disease and summer complaints.
The safest and best way to take
calomel is in Axon Liver Tablets.
Each tablet contains exactly two
grains of pure calomel, combined
with vegetable ingredients which act
as a purge, sweeping the calomel
from the system. Csc a box of IL
doses. If Axon Liver Tablets make
you sick or gripe, your druggist will
refund your money. adv
