NICE, France. Nov 1S.-Along
both the French and italian Riviera,
there are still good simple folk who
believe in the potency of sorcerers and
soroeresses. Witness the breathless
anxiety with which people on both
sides of the border la awaiting the
judgment Of the Sal Reno tribunal
on the affair of the little Viaie boy.
The little Viale was sick. The doc
tors couldn't do thing for him.
Finally, his distracted mother, on tho
advice of her sister, brought in duly
authorized, practicing sorceress. With
great alacrity the sorceress pro-
claimed that the only trouble with the
youngster was the spell cast upon
him by one of the neighbors. To ex-
eroise that, she gave this receipe:
Take white hen, extract its liver,
fill the liver with pine, and then cook
it in a new casserole, together with
the little boys one-pieoe suit. Let the
whole mess come to a boil and then
chop 1t up. Keep chopping 1t up until
you hear a sound Of dragging chains,
grooming, singing, and the sound Of
bells. If these sounds don't occur be-
fore three days, then only your spell
casting neighbor can heal the little
fellow"
Three days passed, and no omin-
GUS sounds resulted. Then the mother
called in the suspected neighbor, a
hotel proprietess.

the clothes themselves. Usually
there are tailor marks. In the better
grade Of clothing the name Of the

But when a body. besides being
unclothed, also is headless, the prob

AnthrOpOlOgist Steps In
1T is there that the anthropologist
steps in with the knowledge he has
gained in reconstruoting dinosaurs
and pterodactyls from the most mea-
gre fossil remains.
Just as he would work with a
fossil, he examines the pigment Of
the hair on the victims body and
tells us the color of the hair on ths
missing head-and sometimes he can
tell US the color of the eyes, too.
Taking a legless, arnnless and head
less corpse, the anthropologist tells us
the victims height and weight. He
examines the blood oorpuscles and
tells us the approximate age.
"Or, given only thigh bone, he
tells US the owners sex, age, weight
and height-if the owner was not of
abnormal or grotesque proportions.

owners age, sex and race and even

Reword for Public Service

THERE is little reward for faithful public servant
other than knowledge that he has performed his
duties well and that he has the appreciation Oh the
public whom he served. Judge W. ". Thornton, who
is leaving the Marion County Superior Court bench
after years and painstakng work has this re-
ward.
Lewis A Coleman president Of the Marion County
Bar Association uttered truth when he said the peo-
pie can not fully appreciate the sacrifice successful
lawyer makes when he assumes tudgeship. The
financial remuneration Of a-judge is small compared
with that of a successful lawyer. There is no such
thing as wealthy judge he must depend on his sal
airy for his means. There many wealthy lawyers

their efforts in their profession

OF January, it was announced today.
1t was first planned by DR.. J. A.

Vets VIII Center
Fight on Beer
Before Congress
BIZ Harry B. HUNT


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Four pe~
cent beer.
Light wines Of from IL to 20 pea
cent alcoholic content
These are the demands now to be
made of Congress by organized vets
as result Of increased favor for nodi-
fication Of the Volstead law registered
by voters III the recent congressional
election.
Although Tight wines" are always
mentioned In all modification pro
posals. the one thing the vets have
closest to their hearts and thoughts,
however, is-beer. 1t springs from
belief that the expectation and demand
of the rank and file who marked wet
ballots on Nov. was for beer.
Whether an effort will be made TO
obtain modification at the hands Of
the present Congress will be deter
mined at a meeting Of officials Of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment late this month.
Some members believe it would be
good politics. to give the present
Congress a chance to act on nodtfica-
ton in the light Of popular will as ex-
pressed at the congressional election.
With the organization Of the new
Congress in March, however, the fight
to overhaul and ''nberaize" the pro
hibition enforcement act will get. I'M
der way Immediately.
VOlstead Defeat Wet Victory
The defeat of Andrew J. Volstead.
father of the present enforcement act,
is the biggest single aid to the wet
program. Although Volstead's suo-
cessor is dry himself, Volstead's de-
feat removes him from the chairman
ship Of the Judiciary Committee and
puts in his place Congressman GeOrgo
s. Graham Of Pennsylvania, a wet.
Gov. Edward I. Edwards, newly
elected senator from New Jersey, Is
expected to jump into the forefront of
the fight in the Senate. AS an expert
enced aid and a counselor wise in SEN
atorial maneuvering, Jim Reed Of Ms
souri, is counted on to be his chief as
sistant.
Want Whole Amendment Killed
"It doesn't really make any great
difference whether the present Con,
gress or the newly elected one passes
a modification act" says @. V. HInck-
ley, head Of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, who has
directed the associations congressional
drive. What we are out to get, Of
course, is the repeal Of the whois pro
hibition proposition"

Of the Saint. The oldest is said to be

comb in the cemetery of San Lorenzo.
A mosaic is in the apse Of her church
at Rome. and Cimaline, the old Ital-
ian artist, painted a picture of her
over the altar of the old church at
Florence. She is usually represented
with an organ and a crown OF roses.
Raphael's st. Cecilia was painted for
