ley had on the witness stand and of
which Inman got possession, Madge
was given the dose of morphine by
DIR. John K. Kingsbury, the family
physician.
Remy Questions
State evidence already in, shows
that about that time the girl signed
the dying declaration upon which
Prosecutor William II. Remy, hopes
to convict the men Of murder. Remy
then said to the witness:
'WhOm did you mean when you
said the doctor remarked let her
Sleep" said Remy.
"Me."
II object" said Floyd Chris
tian, defense attorney. "This
woman was asleep and can't testi.
fy about whom the doctor meant"
''I wasn't asleep" said the nurse
Indignantly, 81 heard him."
why was morphine given March
2S?" queried the prosecutor.
Great Pain
"Pain She was suffering great
pain"
why was phenacetine glven?"
For pain" Miss Spratley had
previously testified that Miss Ober
holtzer was also given phenacetine
One of the defense's chief con.
tentiOns, judging from their line of
questioning on crOss-examinatiOn
heretofore. has been that the dy
ing declaration was a "frame-up"
on the part of the OberhOltzer
family and Asa j. Smith, family
attorney, and that Smith attempt
ed to blackmail Stephenson out of
100000 on the strength of 1t.
Smith testified last week that he
read the declaration to Madge, after
supper of the evening of March 28.
and that shire verified it and then
signed it as she lay propped on her
pillows.
Motion OverTu.ed
Shortly after court opened. Judge
Will NJ. Sparks overruled a new
motion of the defense to dismiss the
jury and start the trial all over
again. because they alleged the Judge
again had made prejudicial remarks

the arrest April 2, of Stephenson in
his rooms at the Hotel Washington

felony. McMurtrie was not through
testifying when court recessed for
noon.

all the seats we're occupied during
the noon hour, many people eating
their lunches in the courtroom.
Many of those who had not brought
a luncheon, merely chewed gum
while others defied hunger to keep
their vantage point.
McMurtrie's testimony was ad-
mitted only over strenuous objec-
tions OF defense attorneys, who in.

GASOLINE SAVING
SEEN AS RESULT
OF PURDUE WORK
Engineering Experiments
With Conductors Bring
Improvements.
Bg Times Special

DIV tHtc 0UCC4Ut
LAFAYETTE. Ind, jan. TO-
Eventual saving of gasoline for mo-
t~orists, through greater improve
ment of present c~arburetors, will be
the result of activities of the Engi-
n~eering Experimental Station of
Purdue University, a review of the
years work, just compiled, reveals.
Experiments have been conducted
dealing with c~arburetors and the
construction of small holes which
regulate the flow of gasoline. Vari-
alton in these holes, caused by ir-
regular machining, even in the high
est grade c~arbureters. causes gaso-
line wastage, it was shown.
The resume also discloses impor-
tant contributions to the field Of
electrical engineering, including de-
yelopment Of new technique for the
production of nitrogen, electrostatic
Investigations valuable to industries
in development of high voltage
equipment, and designing of a light
ming generator for testing lightning
~arresters, lightning rods and high
voltage insulators.
The Purdue electrical laboratory.
is one of two places in the country
where artificial lightning can be
made, generating current up to 6OO,-
600 volts.
Strengthening of cement mortar
and elimination of impurities in last
iron. are other achievements of the
station.

SHALL ATHLETICS
BE SLOWED DOWN?
State Board Of Education Directs Question at Principals
Doctors and Coaches.

Are championship athletic contests
among Hoosier high schools to be
|curtailed? Are basketball, football.
baseball to be slowed down" as in
imical to the interests Of education?
High school principals, coaches
and physicians are being bombarded
with questions designed to bring out
the true status of athletics in Indi-
ana schools. The State board of edu-
cation high school survey commit
tee is doing the bombarding.
Universities Represented
The committee: DIR. H. G.. Childs
of Indiana University. chairman; E,
e. Ramsey, State school inspector;
Justin H. Merriman, superintendent
of Wells County; Frank 8. Bogar-
dus, registrar of State Normal; c..
E. Hinshaw, principal Kokomo High
School; S. S. Cromer Of Purdue Uni
versity, and c. o. Thompson of Earl
ham College.
The questions to principals: Is
a State championship a desirable
end to set up in order that basket
ball make it's largest contribution?
Do you feel that basketball could be
made to contribute more largely to
the detectives OF education if it were
not for the undue emphasis placed
upon the desire for a State cham
pionship team? Do you feel that
colleges and universities are using
undue influence to get high school
athletes to enter their institutions?

100000 VALUE IS CITED
Farm Records OF Marion County
Show Fertilizer Gain BY Diaries.

Farm Records Of Marion County
Show Fertilizer Gain BY Diaries.
Marion county is richer yearly by
100000 because Sof the soil fertility
produced as a by-product Of dairy
ing, according to the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute. The figure is
based on data Of many farm {
ords.
The average quantity of manure
recovered for use on crop lands in
the area studied was IA tons per
cow, and since the fertilizing value
of a ton OF manure is $3.50 the by
product value of each COW is approx
imately $40. The application of this
figure at the 10000 dairy cattle in
this country brings the total added
value to the soil fertility here to the
almost unbelievable figure given
above.
In keeping with its better feeding
program the Institute estimates that
from rs per cent to 80 e cent
greater profit from each ton of feed
can be made by local farmers who
milk lows through improved feed
ing methods, alone.

OF THE JAZZ AGE---
KING JAZZ RIDES
IN AUTOMOBILES
-cHILDREN or rHE JAzz ACE
BY MRS. WALLACE REID

and, / am afraid in some instances
uation that requires much more
judgment and common sense than
was asked of young people a gen
Grafton ago.
Now, how are we to prepare to
meet this newly found freedom?
We cannot keep our young people
at home all the time. And we
cannot always accompany them
when they go out. They must
be educated to think and decide
for themselyes-to WANT to do
the right thing.
In the first place, the automobile
may be regarded as a sort of two
edged sword. It has its good
points as well as it's dangerous
For an automobile may be used to
broaden the young folks vision.
They r able to get to places and
see things and learn about people
as it was impossible for children
to do in the days before this
rapid Of conveyance. )
Pay even more attention to the
companions of your sons and
daughters at the "1apper' age.
You can help to choose these COM
panions without causing resent
ment, even without the knowledge
Of the young people. You can ac-
complish this by entertaining in
your home, and encouraging
youngsters to come. 1t is remark
able how soon a home may become
a social center in this way, and it
will surprise you how popular your
own sons and daughters will be.
Plan unique parties and clever
games. 1t is easy to do and well
worth the time. Popular maya
zines and the magazine pages of
newspapers are full Of ideas.
In the case Of daughters, a
girls club is the easiest way to
insure proper friends. A dipb-
matte mother can skillfully engi-
lee the forming of such a club
and have a lot more to say who
shall belong than any Of the girls
realize.
Thus you establish and keep
close contact not only with the
young people in your home, but
with their friends. This contact
enables you to create a whole
some atmosphere instheir play, and
at the same time to continue the
education you should have started
some years before-teaching the
young folks to think and decide
for themselves, as I ssaid before,
and to DESIRE to do the right
and not be driven to do it.

that affect young people to-
III day the automobile has had
more to do with this so-calleG
Jazz age" than any other one
factor.
The automobile makes it pos
sible to cover great distances
quickly. This means that in a

may be far removed from home in

Furthermore, the very speed at
which they travel contributes to
the excitement of the occasion.

Does the coach OF the athletic teams
receive a larger salary than regular
high school teachers7
Question Of Health
To physicians:. Do you believe the
boys on our high school teams are
playing too much basketball for
their own good? Should teams play
on successive nights? Are basket
ball Journeys in which a team plays
three or four games in two days
beneficial or injurious to the boys
participating? What evils ire likely
to come from basketball?
To coaches: Would you be willing
to lose every game on your schedule
if by so doing you could win the
State championship? TO you feel
that the winning Of the tourney has
anything to do with respect to your
salary for next year? Would o like
your job better if there were no
basketball tournaments?
