nesday evening and while there met
the two men from Norway who were
robbed and heard their story. They
say that they were al Crystal Falls

back so as 10 help him along the
road. The two men were in the front
seat and were driving back 70 their
home at Norway. The stranger was
in the rear seat. When near Quln-
nesec the man pulled a gun and order
ed the driver TO stop the car. The
two men were told to get out. a rope
taken from the car was given one
man and he was told 10 bind the other,
which he did The rope wasn't long
enough 10 bind two SO the robber took
a neck tie and bound the second man
Then he robbed his victims OF S45 In
cash. jumped into the car and hit OF
TO the north. The men managed to
get united and reach telephone be-
fore the man got TO Florence. Sheriff
Bootjock was notified and he waited
FOR his man TO appear. Soon he was
seen coming over the hill and the
sheriff stationed himself in the cen
ter OF the street and commanded the
man TO halt He slowed up the car
and came slowly up 20 the sheriff
When along side OF the officer. he
stepped on 'er" and shot by, The
sheriff's gun failed 70 work and the
man got away but turned to the right
and went up main the street until he
came 10 the end where a fence CON
fronted him. Evidently he thought
fences were all around for he aban-
doned the car and hit of across lots
into the woods and was lost.
The car was returned TO its owners
but the man had not been found al

CLUB AND OTHER CLUB
NOTES

Thomas Conlin, editor OF The Dia-
mond Drill, addressed the Club. We'd
nesday evening. following lunch. his
subject being Organization" He
pointed out that a cause OF the fall
OF the Roman Empire was the loss OF
organized control and that the chaos
OF the dark ages was characterized by
disorganization. Good things, said
Mr.. Conlin, are the result OF organi-
] zation and unless an organization has
a definite policy 10 pursue and 10 at
tain. Il fails in the very purpose for
which is was created. Promotion OF
public sentiment. he declared, is an
end toward which organized effort
shoul strive and. particularly, toward
the development and improvement of
the community.
Mr.. Conlin's discourse was pithy,
timely and ably delivered and was
heartily applauded by the listeners.
The floating Of bond issue by the
village TO permit OF cetain public i'm
provements and as a means to provide
employment for idle labor was discus
sed and in particular which project
will require the maximum OF labor
and the minimum OF material. The
building OF sidewalks, the extension
OF sewer mains and the repair OF
streets. anyone OF which or all pro-
jects could be well and wisely done
at this time, was the conclusion reach

DOMESTIC SERVANTS
SCARCE IN new YORK
(By Associated Pressl

NEW YORK. Sept. 27-Domestic la
Dor is so scarce in New York that
in thousands of homes, normally well
supplied with servants, the mistress is
doing her own housekeeping. Maids
and buffers are said by employment
bureaus to prefer being out of work to
taking jobs at less than the high wage
scales prevailing last year.
Of many reasons advanced by en-
ployment agencies for the failure o.
servants and employers to agree. one
of the most common is that prospec-
tive maids seek work only because
their husbands are jobless and are re-
fused places because prospective en-
ployers will not consider applicants
for temporary positions.
Prevailing wage scales are said by
employment agencies to be: cooks
$50 to $40 a month; general house
keepers, $40 to $50; chambermaids
$50 to $50. Japanese buffers command
500 to $125 month with board and
lodging.

HARD SURFACE ROAD
FROM TERRE HAUTE
TO RICHMOND IN 1922

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 27.-As the
fall touring season is now in full sway
1t is a matter OF interest to all motor
car owners that good prosgress has
been made in the matter Of perma-
nent road improvement in various sec
tons of Indiana and particularly on
some of the main highways, accord
ing to a statement just issued by the
Hoosier State Automobile assocla ton.
''Inasmuch as our organization has
been the pioneer and the one contin-
ually persistent booster for better
roads," states M. Z. Noblet, secretary,
at is a matter of qualification that
some of our main highways are rapid
~ getting somewhere in the matter
of hard surface improvement work. 1t
is also gratifying that improvement
of the gravel and macadam roads is
now becoming general. This latter
work will be advanced materially I'M
der the road patrol maintenance law
which our organization succeeded in
getting through the legislature"
Mr. Noblet states that the hard sur
face pavement on the National Old
Trails road will be open clear through
hdIlOH COuuly tle llISI VI OGtOpCl,
and that the pavement is extending
eastward into Hancock county at a
steady rate, with prospect of being
completed to Greenfield, 81 miles east
of Indianapolis, by Oct. Is.
Between Indianapolis and Terre
Haute the National road now has 1888
miles of hard surface roadway, &C
cording to an official of the state high.
way commission. Because of the fact
that numerous bridges are being con
structed along this route, however, 1t
is not practical for tourists to attempt
TO follow the National road from Terre
Haue through to Indianapolis.
The condition of the old roa dway
however, is reported as fair and the
detours are in fairly good condition
especially in dry weather. 1t is ex
pected this entire route will be com
pleted by this time next year. TIC
the east there are several detours, one
near Greenfield, one at Lewisville anG
another at Dublin. Completion of the
hard surface pavement into Richmond
will be accomplished by late mex
year, it is stated This will give, by
that time, hard surface roadway
clear across the state from Terrt
Haute TO Richmond.

MANY ALIBI ARTISTS
VISIT POLICE COURT

There is new one born every min
ute" remarked the motorcycle cop
meditatively. He was waiting in the
police station.
"A new WHAT"
"A new alibi Every car owner has
a different reason why he should be
given another chance. Sometimes, my
speedometer was wrong. Sometimes,
his was wrong. or else he simply
wasn't going that fast at all. Yet
they are all alike in one thing. they
don't want to pay their fines.
What particular owner, or set of
owners, makes the most trouble?"
he was asked.
Generally it is the flivver owner.
He always has something to say. Gen
orally they claim their car won't run
that fast. You can always get more
arguments out of a flivver owner
than out of the driver of high
priced car
THE queerest alibi ! ever heard in
police court" remarked a bystander,
was from an out of town driver. He
was coming through here on his way
to a northern town to have his car
looked over at the factory. 1t seems
that it wouldn't go fast enough. "The
fastest it would co. he said was 80
miles an hour"
He was going As when they caught
up with him."

overcoats will be mostly brown and
gray.
Wooden socks for men again will be
a popular fad this winter and fall and
many oxfords will be worn.
More Hats Worn.
Styles in headwear for the men have
undergone a decided change. and it
is thought that there will be more
hats worn this year than there will
be caps. The hats are small shape
having the small curl brims. There
also will be a few cloth hats but
possibly not as many will be worn as
in previous years. Very few stiff hats
will be seen.
Caps for the coming season are
mostly the tweed and herringbone
caps, being on the small style as last
year
A new style shirt that has not been
worn very much in the fall will
be worn considerably. These shirts
have low collar attached. The shirts
will be mostly soft shirts. Something
new in the shirt line that is expected
to become popular is the soft cuff and
pleated front shirt Ties will be most
ly of the small narrow type.
Shoes Are Sensible.
Shoes especially are getting away
from the extreme style and are becom
ing more sensible and comfortable
The extreme English shoes will bt
discarded. The most popular shoe to
day is the brogue oxford and shoe
The men are getting away from the
dark brown shoe and are wearing {
lighter tan shoe
The black shoe also is becomint
more popular this fall than in prev
ious years. The black shoe is practic
ally the same style that has been worl
in the tan. Cordovan shoes are be
coming very popular for winter use
Thus the well-dressed man will flint
that simplicity is the prevailing not
this year.

High School

The new seating arrangement in the
high school auditorium will so into
effect at the senior chapel Friday
morning. The seniors, as far as pos
sible, will occupy seats on the first
floor of the auditorium. 1t is planned
10 have the boys on one side and the
girls on the other in order to have
the singing more uniform. Even
though the freshmen are separated
from the Friday chapel, the auditor
ium is still crowded to such an ex-
tent that if the orchestra members
were included in the assembly, there
there would not be enough room for
the senior chapel students.
II has been definitely announced by
the vocational director of the high
school. that A l.. Rios, of the Starr
Piano company. will teach the course
in Spanish at the public night school
this term. The extent of the course
depends entirely upon the public, and
whether or not the course will be a
success will depend upon the interes.
shown by the students.
