CUBAN TAXI DRIVERS
USE ALCOHOL FOR CARS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16-Cuban
taxi drivers have petitioned the mum
cipality of Havana to lower the stan
dard rate as they find they can cut
existing charges one third and still
make a profit by substituting alcohol
for gasoline as motive power for auto
mobiles, according to a report to the
commerce department today from
Philander L. Cable, American charge
d'affaires at Havana
"a strong movement is taking place
in Cuba he said, ito replace gasoline
as the motive power for self-propelled
vehicles by alcohol. The alcohol is
produced from the waste of sugar and
is Cuban product. The average cost
of gasoline today is so cents a gallon
while that of alcohol varies between
80 and 35 cents"

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am a girl
al the age of IA. / have been troubled
with pimples for almost two years
and would thank you million times
if you could aid me to get rid of them.
Do you think it is from the blood or
is it skin effect?
WORRYING PEGGY.
Pimples may be the result of so
many different causes that what will
cure them for one person will be use
less for another. 1t faithful trials of
external remedies do not benefit, a
physician should be consulted.
Often applications of lotion made
from half an ounce of glycerine. a
pint of camphor water and a quarter
of n ounce of powdered borax will
prevent pimples. In any event, this
mixture is good for the skin, if used
as a substitute for water. 1t must be
allowed to dry on.
A physician declares that a two
weeks trial is time enough to give
this, and if at the end of that period
it has not improved the skin, applica-
ton should be stopped and remedy
more drastic applied.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am trou
bled with black ants in my kitchen
What can | do to get rid of them?
MRS. H. G. F.
Every night and morning rub the
door stills with kerosene. In about q
week you will be free from the ants

LAKE COUNTY OBEYS
GAME LAWS DESPITE
inter- RACIAL STATUS

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 16-Consid-
ering the density of population in the
Calumet region, that industrial center
of northern Indiana, it is astounding
the amount of game found, declared
Richard Lieber. state department OF
conservation director, today upon MS
return from an inspection trip ana
business conference with men OF the
northern branch of the warden service
Mr.. Lieber pointed to Lake county
as liberal educational factor in that
1t teens with industrial activity, and
yet three miles from Hammond, the
center of the Calumet region. prairie
chickens are found, while such game
as quail rabbits and squirrels are
abundant.
Naturally, the waters OF the region
abound with aquatic life, and that sec
ton OF Hoosierland is known far for
its excellent piscatorial sport, he says.
Game Abundant
The fact that Lake county offers I'M
usual inducement for sportsmen by
reason of its abundance of small wild
animals, game birds and fish, presents
an unique situation, Mr.. Lieber pointed
out, in that population is inter-racial
and its residents of foreign birth are
not expected to be as well informed
on hunting and fishing laws as the
native born.
Where a year ago state wardens
found population suspicious, antag-
onistic and disinclined to cooperate
for the conservation of wild and
aquatic resources. today wardens by
firm and impartial enforcement of
laws. augmented by explaining laws
when occasions permit, have brought
about a change of sentiment that now
favors conservation as whole.
Newspapers Help
This change in public opinion in
Lake county is also very largely due
to the newspapers of the state which
have printed many stories calling at
tention to the need of guarding the
states natural resources, Mr.. Lieber
said
The change in sentiment prevalent
In Lake county where citizens recog
&ize the commercial value as well as
the value of fish and game to health
and recreation, is a condition that can
be made prevail all over Indiana.
While the north is blessed with
lakes, central, eastern, western and
southern Indiana possess streams and
rivers that may be made to TEEN with
edible fish if proper cooperation is
given by the public, he contends.

American Legion

Men who accepted officers commits
sions for the world war only and who
were wounded or disabled should be
retired with pension the same as are
officers of the regular army, the Amer
lean Legion's national legislative COM
mittee declared last week in praying
Secretary of War Weeks to extend
the privilege to them. The selective
service law and an opinion of the
army's judge advocate general were
cited as justifying the claim.
After the state of New York had
voted to give ex-service men a bonus
by a majority of 100000, the Court of
Appeals held last week that the new
law was unconstitutional. The Amer
lean Legion of the state now is pre-
pairing to campaign for an amendment
to the constitution, with the governor
of the state and members of the legis-
lature behind them.
To assist in Kidding the city of
providers, petty thieves and holdups,
the American Legion post of Wichita,
Kas., recently volunteered the services
of its 500 members. Due to numerous
attacks on women and the resultant
panic in their ranks, the chief of po-
lice and the city manager accepted the
offer. The service men will patrol the
streets.
More than three years after he had
been gassed at Chateau Thierry, Rich
ard Cross, American Legion veteran
of Des Moines, Ia, suddenly was
stricken blind recently while sitting at
home playing with his baby. Physi-
clans blame the Germans poison for
his plight and entertain no hope for
his recovery

What Coming Means

l"Town Planning for Convenience and Health" by Louis Lott, in Archi.ac- ture; Charles Scribner's Sons, Pub- fishers.
 Zoning means that community ls divided into number of districts CT zones, each of which is governed ny special regulations that control the height, use and arrangement of tho buildings within that zone. These diff ferent zones are largely established in accordance with existing conditions. but their restrictions are not retroac-
 tive. The regulations that limit the height of the buildings are determined according to their use and width of the street upon which they face, thereby assuring an adequate amount of light the air.
 Some communities that have a zoning plan have created many more zones than are shown upon this chart; others have deemed it wise and more expedi- ent to have less, especially as regards residence zones, but in view of the fact that activities that do not belong in such districts are constantly encroach- ing upon residence property with the resultant losses in values, the zoning regulations applied to residence dis tricts should be strict. A mans home, above all, should be protected. By establishing these various zones. nuisance industries are restricted to objectionable industrial zones. and are kept out of industrial zones. Facto eies, junk yards, etc. are kept out of com mercial zones; activities that cause noise or much traffic are kept away from school and hospital zones; stores. etc., are allowed only to be established on the main traffic streets where they naturally belong. Residence districts are here divided into multiple-family, apartment-house, and detachedresi- dence zones the first allows double, duplex and row houses; the second may contain any of the three groups but would eventually contain practically Ill apartment houses.
