SHANK FORCES
RALLY TO BUCK
MAYOR JEWETTT
Meeting to Be Held a Week
From Sunday to Discuss
Political Situation.
HOME RULERS WAKE UP

Former followers and present friends
Of Samuel Lewis Shank, eX-mayor oA
INDIANAPOLIS, and probably a prospective
candidate for the Job again, have received
an invitation to a meeting at the ShanA
warehouse a week from Sunday.
The meeting is to be open to all VINO
care to attend and 1t is planned 10 nave
representatives from every precinct OF
the city on hand. 49,
The exact purpose OF the meeIlng
seems to be somewhat clOuded. 1t IS
sold nv several of the men who have
formerly backed Shank that the object
is to consider how the Shank personal
organization will line up in the county
AID state campaign.
1t is also reported that the real OBJ
ject OF the meeting is to count noses ana
ascertain whether the Shank following
will be strong enough to capture the re-
publican county organization from the
followers of Mayor Charles w. Jewett,
whose administration has been anything
but a JOY. to that part of the repub-
ncan party that believes in the Shank
doctrines Of "home rule and plain peo-
pie"
WOULD SHANK
RUN FOR MAYOR7
As the county organization is very es-
sentiaf to the political future Of James
p. Goodrich and Mayor Jew, t is re-
garded as a Goodrich man ever since the
garbage plant deal was consummaGed, the
Shank element can not very well contest
for the organization without contesting
against the Goodrich aspirations. Hence,
It is certain that the various elements
of the state fight will have to be constd-
cred at the meeting.
Shank has never formally declared that
he intended to run for mayor of Indian
apolis again. But he has intimated az
much to many of his friends and Is gen
orally regarded as being in the position
of d man who is willing to trade support
to county and state candidates for abso-
lutte promises of support In the following
city campaign.
The Shank meeting is expected to at
tract former members Of the home rule
marty and those republicans who can not
stand for the Goodrich program as sup
ported by the Jewett county organiza-
tion.
TO OPEN QUARTERS
LATE NEXT WEEK.
The "anti-Jewett' republican organize
tion. known as the Marion County Re
publican workers, will open headq uaTters
at 1O8 North Delaware street late next
week. Corwin P. Sells will be in charge
Of the headquarters.
Another meeting of the organization
will be held at the headquarters Feb ]
to make further plans for the campaign
Emsley W. Johnson, one of the organ
izers. said the organization Is not oppos-
ing Mayor Jewett and that 1t would be
glad to have him join them If he cares
to do So He said the organization will
have no slate. but that some of its mum
Der may seek office.
The organization, it is understood, is
active in the circulation of a petition to
have Maj. Gen. Leonard Woods name
placed on the Indiana presidential pri-
mary ballot II is said that 1t will not
look with disfavor on candidates who
will oppose the reelection of county Of
hcials now in Office Mayor Jewett has
recommended the reelection of all the
present ofice-holders.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE.
-~pyrighs. 1920. by wheeler Syndicate. Ins

How many women know that Lincoln
Park, in Chicago, was laid out bya woman
the first woman landscape artist IN
America?
When Mrs Annette e. McCrea started
out to study landscape architecture she
met with lot of difficulty, for OF course
woman could not do, in the popular mind,
what 30 far woman had not done. But
she persevered, and before long she was
forging to the head of her profession. She
was the pioneer in the work of recaiming
the land about railway lines and stations,
and beautifying what had been eyesores,
and she has done an immense amount of
this work She has also had many COM
missioned 10 plan school and hospital
grounds, and had done other parks.
But most important to other women
is the fact that she has striven TO have
landscape schools thrown open TO women,
who can nowadays take the training
without trouble, in many States. Pcnnsyl-
vania has an especially good school for
this branch of art.
1t is beautiful work, and tho woman
who is drawn to outdoor life, 10 garden
ing. who has n sense of proportion, and de-
sign, will find little difficulty in develop
ing her gifts to a paying business. There

LADIES! DARKEN

Sulphur Recipe and No

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to It's natural color
dates back to grandmother time She
used it to keep her hair beautifully dark,
glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair
took on that dull faded or streaked ap-
pearance this simple MIXTURE was applied
with wonderfu effect.
But brewing at home IS mussy and
out-of-date Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle OF ''Wyeth g
Sage and Sulphur Compound you will
get this famous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingredients, which
can be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair
A well-known downtown druggist says
il darkens the hair so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush
with il and draw this through your hair,
taking one strand at a time BY morning
the gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or TWO, 1t becomes beau
