"The Hewitt was insured in London"

UNPARD0NABLE SIN

New York, June 25.-The origin Of
drinking toasts was defined by Stuy

Columbia University. as POSTMASTER

company. There was one in the
place, gay fellow who offered to

PROPER CARE OF
FEET IMPORTANT
War and Peace Prove Need of
Scientific Treatment.

Military men from the earliest times
have realized that an army is just as
good as its feet. Many an army has
been thrown back IN defeat at critical
time because the feet of its individual
members had become sore, biistered and
swollen through poor and uninteligent
care.
IN fact in modern military schools I'M
usual attention is given to training fu-
ture officers as to the proper care OF the
feet Almost any former doughboy who
slogged along under full equipment on
that famous march to the Rhine after
the armistice in 1913 can tell eloquently
of just how necessary and important
was he proper care Of the feet.
And what applies to large bodies OF
marching men in times Of war applies
Just as much to the individual citizen IN
times of peace, according TO DR.. Thomas
B. Stockton, 11O4 Odd Fellow building.
II believe that more and more persons
are beginning 10 realize the importance
Of caring for their feet. 1t formerly was
believed that this was a matter TO when
any one could give attention, but now
adays ii is realized that 1t is speciality
and that ailments of the feet should be
cared for only by graduates Of the best
schools for this kind of treatment. In
INV office I have the best equipment Tor
this kind Of work that science has TO
offer and we make use only or the most
modern and scientific methods.

LOCAL INVENTION
PROVES POULAR
Carburetor Sales Steadily In
crease, According to Dealer.

Sales Of carburetors have increased
greatly in the past few months is the
opinion expressed by George E. Nelson,
manager of the Indianapolis branch Of
the Marvel Carburetor Sales Company.
THE business is far better than it
appears to be on the surface" he said.
Selling and replacement conditions are
excellent. Part of this no doubt is due
to the fact that since the recent fnan-
cial depression may motorists have de-
cided to make their old cars do while
longer, rather than purchase new ones.
They have found that new carburetor
often will work wonders and large
number of new carburetors are being
sold to this class of trade.
1--WE certainly are not complaining
about business. Many persons do not
know that the Marvel carburetor was an
Indianapolis invention, Tut such is the
case. 1t was invented in this city in
1919 by Bert Pierce, and at first was
manufactured here. Later the plant was
moved to Flint, Mich, where 1t now is.
1--WE realize that in carburetors as
well as in other parts of the automobile
that service is one of the things most
demanded by the average car owner.
Our local branch maintains complete
line of service and we are well equipped
to repair and rebuild carburetors. And
this Is a line of work that requires
the highest grade Of workmen in the
service station"

Optimism and faith in business con-
stantial manner BY the C. & G.. Potts
Company In the form Of new 100000
foundry which has just been completed at
Washington avenue and Blake street.
This foundry, which is said to be one of
the finest and most completely equipped
small foundries in Indiana shows con-
clusively that Its builders have faith in
the business outlook. This new addition
will make It possible for the company
to reach a daily maximum output Of
about twenty-six tons
In connection with the foundry, there
Is being erected a substantial two story
brick fireproof storage building 45x1O0
feet. In the new foundry and the one
now being used about 125 employees will
be required to take care OF the business
handled by these plants. A general line
of semi-steei and clay working ma
chinery will be manufactured. A novel
feature Of the new building is to be
found in the cleaning and "rattler" rooms
which are separated from the foundry
proper. This viii result In the elimina-
ton Of dirt and noise and in these de-
partments.
"Our products are used In the East in the
est manufacturing plant of clay work
ing machinery in the world" George J..
Potts, president Of the company said.
Our products are used in the East in the
far western States and in Europe to a
greater extent than they are in this sec
ton Of the country. During the World
War our machinery was shipped 10 Cal

BUILDING BOOM
SURE TO ARRIVE
Marble Dealer Predicts Long
Period of Activity.

Once business gets back to a firm basis
and such questions as freight rates and
taxes and financial matters are settled
there will be a period of unprecedented
building activity, probably the most ex-
tensive in the history of the country, &C
cording to F. E. Gates of the 2. e. Gates
Marble and Tile Company.
''This building boom may last six
years or longer" Mr. Gates said, "once
it gets under way. Ny information is
that already building activity has picked
up appreciably during the last few
weeks in New York The effect of this
is making itself felt in Chicago and I'M
doubtedly building conditions in Indi-
annapolis will improve by late spring and
the boom viii cover the entire country
within year. Home building activity
never has ceased in indianapolis as a
matter of fact.
an our own business we have found
that the demand for marble has con-
tinued strong despite general business
conditions, and we have been very well
satisfied. During the vast year we have
completed the following jobs: Spencer

Theater, Indianapolis; Bankers Trust
Company, Indianapolis; exchange room

dences. We have just compile ted fabrica-
ton Of marble for the Seville Apartment.
THE quarrying and working of mar
Bile are among the earliest of building
and decorative creations of the human
race. Not only is 1t mentioned in many
passages Of the Bible but we know that
1t was known and used long before the
Christian era. Marble was used exten-
sively for sculpture and architecture in
ancient Greece, and the famous Athenian
ruins of the Parthenon, Erectheium,
Propylaea, together with these at An
tioch, Ephesus, Miletus and Epidarus, at

1ul qualities of marble have bee recog-
nlzed for the higher types OF building.

Royal Carriage
Goes Under Hammer

HONOLULU, Dec. 12.-Recollections OF
the proud days of the Hawaiian mon
archy were revived when the regal car
rage which once belonged to the Prin-
cess Kaiulani and was later used by
Queen Lilioukalani passed under the
auctioneers hammer and was knocked
down to a local expressman for SO.
The ex-regal equipage was brought to
Hawaii from New. England thirty five
years ago for the especial use of Princess
Kaiulani, a daughter of the then ruling
house of Hawaii, and was used by her
and later by Queen Liz for many years.
1t constituted one Of the few remaining
links binding Hawaiis present to its
royal past.
