slayer of little Walter Smith, Jr.

loft early today and died a few hours
later from fractures of the skull and
effects of other brutal treatment.
The boy was discovered a few

Catholic church, told the priest that
you'll find a boy dead in that barn
yonder," and then disappeared.
The Priest, Father i. j. Sweeney
went to the barn and found the boy
Walter regained consciousness long

Spelling Included in Civil
Service Exam.

Sharp eyes and general informa-
ton were deemed more necessary
for indianapolis policemen than
formal education in the police civil
service tests for fifty-eight applicants
today at Shortridge High School.
For instance, those examined were
required to answer twelve questions
concerning information revealed in
a photograph Of an auto collision
with a street car.
After studying the photograph of
ten men wanted by police, they were
required to select them from pic
ture containing forty-eight photo
graphs. Eight questions were asked
to test their general information.
Aspirants were asked to name the
president Of the board of safety,
describe the functions of the grand
jury, name who directs that body,
name five important public build
ings or structures and five railroads.
What Should He Do?
"If police officer should observe
a man loading a truck with bolts of
silk at a. m. in the rear of de-
partment store, what should he do?"
was one question.
Whether a patrolman should re-
lease a prisoner as personal favor
to his sergeant, was another poser.
Directing a person from Pennsyl-
vania and Washington SITS. to the
Methodist hospital was another.
There also was a question relating
to circumstances in which police
man should use his revolver.
Spelling and arithmetic counted for
10 per cent each in the examination.
Only elementary questions were pro-
pounded in arithmetic.
The following twenty words were
given in the spelling examination,
alibi, fracture, collision, verdict, mu-
nicipal, substitute, careless, criminal,
identity, parole, rainy, federal, pro-
hibltion, still, asphalt, frozen. skid
ded, forgery, cruelty, explosion.
PrOctors on Watch
Police Chief Claude F. Johnson
said there probably would be twenty
two vacancies on the police force
Jan. !, which would be filed by
those successful in the examination.
Questions were selected by the
civil service commission members
from a large number prepared at
the last moment before the examina-
tion.
John F. White and Emerson W.
Chaille. commission members, and
Leonard V. Harrison, Chamber of
conducted the examination.
Commerce civic affairs secretary,
Applicants were required to take
seats far apart and proctors patroled
the examination room to guard
against cheating.

lish Ave, after the hi-jackers had
chased the liquor car around the
block several times, firing more than
fifty shots during the chase.
This also is said to be the cause
of a recent liquor price increase.
Good Alcohol

as "alky," bought at Chicago distil'

Some, however, will prefer mule,
concoction distilled from corn or

Indiana. That can be had for $4

mule added is on the market for rs
cents to $1.25 a half pint, or So to

of water added.
A little raw or "red' whisky

A few cases will straggle into the

said, and will be sold to regular custo
mers for from $3.50 to 5000 case

But the occasional drinker will
have no chance at this, unless he OBJ
tains 1t from some friend who has
been a steady patron of one of the
few "fancy stuff" bootlegers.

Our Spices

AYOW that we can get any of the
IN spices or condiments at any
corner grocery for a trHins
price we forget how important a
role they play IN our lives and how
much energy has been spent in
times past in acquiring a sufficient
quantity of them.
In the list OF these so called con-
6iments sugar is included. Now
sugar Is an i'm portant food as well
rs a favor. but It Is for it's sweet
taste and for the favor that It i'm
parts to other foods that we are
most IN need of It Salt and sugar
have perhaps been the most i'm
portant OF all condiments, and their
importance as preServatives OF
foods should not be forgotten. Salt
ed meats and ash have been an
extremely important part OF the
inter diet in days gone by.
Just run over in your mind the
other condiments. Among the most
popular might be included CHINA
mon, cloves. cayenne, ginger. curry,
mace. mustard nutmeg, pepper.
vanilla and viuegar.
Coriander Is seldom found in the
modern home kitchen but Is used IN
the making OF candies and also in
the making Of curry powder. Tur-
meric. which is one of the spices
from the East Indies. is also used
in the making OF curry powder and
