they came to the hill near Rouschs
and the coast seemed clear. he
gave them a slight shove so they
could coast down the hill. In the
meantime Mr.. Jack Mock, of East
Martin street, came out in his
car. The little ones were unable to
guide their sled away from the car
and Mr. Mock endeavored to avoid
striking them by turning into Ken
lucky avenue. He made the turn,
but the rear of his ear skidded
around and the children ran direct
ly into it. Mr.. Mock ran his car in
to a telephone pole. They were re.
moved to the City Hopital, where
their injuries were given medical
attention. Little Pauline only re-
Gently recovered from a dislocated
shoulder.

main out until after IL O'clock at

Screams echoed early this morning
on North Meridian street.
windows were opened and fright
ened residents looked ont to see who
was committing the murder.
More screams and some one tele-
phoned police headquarters that
woman was locked In a garage and
automobile salesroom at $50 North

AL the emergency squads were out
searching for the robber who had
committed a series of bold holdups
during the night, but police were
sent in a patrol wagon.
As the patrol wagon halted on
North Meridisn street an emergency
squad, having heard the screams,
also arrived.
They Investigated and found that
the screams came from Miss Ella
Kidwell, apartment No. 8, in a fat
building at S14 North Meridian
street.
She lives in the apartment with her
mother, Mrs. II. a. Sill.
Miss Kidwell explained TO the po-

C. A. r. VETERANS
GET 1-CENT RATE
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Takes Action.

Veterans Of the Civil war win receive
1-cent-a-mile railroad rate to come TO
Indianapolis Sept 10 to p for the an
nual national encampment Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, J. w. Coneys, SUI
perintendent Of the indianapolis division
Of the Pennsylvania lines, announced to-
day.
Whether the veterans families and
members of organizations allied with the
Grand Army will receive the same rate
has not been determined definitely, Mr..
Coneys said.
A means Of Identifying the veterans
when they make application for the rate
is now being worked out by the com
merce commission.
A return limit Of two months from the
date If sale viii be placed on the tickets
sold the veterans.
Although the first decision Of the COM
mission applies only TO the veterans
themselves, Mr.. Coneys said he believes
the families of the veterans and the
members Of the allied organizations will
get the same privilege.
The granting Of the 1-cent a mile
rate VIII bring more than the usual num-
Der OF veterans 20 the encampment, mem
bers OF the executive committee believe
At last 100000 persons are expected.

campment.

kitchen into which his whole small fat
could be neatly packed.
Enormous kitchens were regularly built
when help was plentiful and a number
OF persons had to work in one room.
Nearly all old houses have such kitch-
ems, and one is occasionally still con-
structed by some one with the ill-founded
idea that a large kitchen is cooler.
Any degree Of GOODNESS thus gained is
more than Offset by the longer distances
TO travel, though It Is held that j large
kitchen is not really any more comfort
able than a compact and well-ventilated
one.
Every phase Of homework that Is sys-
tematized results in the saving OF time
and labor.
This has been proved again and again
by actual demonstration.
Even so insignificant 4 matter as order
ing all groceries at once instead OF twice
a day means one less trip to answer the
doorben.
Use Of 4 fireless cooker means that the
cook does not have to keep adding water,
or watch out that the meal does not
burn.
Teaching the children to put away
their toys and help regularly with light
work means that the mother Is saved
from little Of this routine.
Women as a whole are just beginning
to realive these things
Domestic labor is a problem that has
been given up by many housewives as
hopeless, and they are turning IN to do
all their work.
At the same time. women's clubs, poll
ties and achievements of women in so
many new lines inspire the housewife to
cut down her work so that she may take
her part in the new order.
It seems that at last a motive has been
supplied that is powerful enough to
make women give serious thought to re-
ducing homework to its lowest terms

he stars incline. but do not compel.

SATURDAY, JULY 81.
Astrologers read this as a most unfor-
tunate day, since all the planets in pow
erful sway are adverse. Mars, Neptune,
Venus and Uranus are in evil place.
Under this rule what is most important
is likely to be thwarted, the seers de-
clare.
The contemplation of the weaknesses of
humanity, especially those manifested in
individuals, is likely to have bad eff
feet upon the public mind, making for
pessimism and discomfort.
Labor has the forecast of great benefits
through some fortuitous circumstances
AstroIogers read for the autumn bet
ter outlook so far as peaceful conditions
are concerned. They foretell a big furry
in Wall street and warn the people to
be cautious in all financial affairs.
division between women that sepa-
rates them into two distinct types will
be apparent as the next few years pass,
the seers declare. The economically in
dependent and those who are not will be
widely apart and idleness will be dis
grace.
Washington, D. C, is subject to forces
making it a center of the finer things Of
life as well as the capital Of the nation.
Chicago will have an autumn In which
many events OF Importance to the west
take place, but the most remarkable hap
pening will be quite unforeseen.
Soothsayer will be more than usually
popular at this season and one whosA
prophecies appear to come true Will gain
much fame.
Persons whose birthdate it is will have
a year of rather surprising experiences
that may be turned to great advantages.

Goldy Had
Some Great
Advertising
With His Product He Said
It Was Possible to Con
coct Big List of Drinks

Makes you forget prohibition" Is
what the Ozonated Products Company
Of New York advertised to Indiana
Harbor soft drink parlor owners
through their agent, Joe H Goldy OF
Chicago. Now Colby is being held in
the city jail until federal officials
have had his wares examined to de-
termine whether or not they are in
toxicating.
Goldy carried with him samples Of
the extract bottled by the Ozonated
Products Company from which he
claimed it was possible TO make any
drink in vogue before the fateful
first OF July. There were extracts OF
whiskey, gin. cognac. and all the 9TH
ers. A couple Of ounces OF extract
mixed with a gallon OF water would
make, he said, the real stuff After
adding little telnpering extract and
allowing the liquor to properly age
nothing could be finer, so said Colby.
II the extract is found to be capable
OF making an Intoxicating drink Goldy
will be held for violation of the pro-
hibition laws. II the extract proves
n-intOxicatinS he will be held for
obtaining money under false pretenses
Several large orders had been placed
by Indiana Harbor men before Goldy
was arrested.
