"There are more things

ratio, than IN your poor phi

Thus Spake Hamlet.
once upon atime the beer-dlink-
ing fathers of Indianapolis, when
they came home from work tired
and thirsty on a hot summer day,
would send Johnny to buy a pail OF
beer.
These days they send Johnny to
the nearest grocery or five and 10
cent Sctore to buy materials and
blithely make their own.
For most every grocery in In
dianapolis, and particularly the
chain stores, carry in stock and sen
large quantities of the necessary
malt, all prepared with the proper
mixture of hops and other in
gradients to make home brew beer.
And the five and ten-cent stores,
always quick to meet the public de-
mand, carry full equipment and
weekly are introducing new labor
saving devices to make the home
brewers task easier and the product
of his stove and jar more like Mil
waukee's best of We olden days.
Step into any Of these stores, and
view the beer counter display.
But don't ask store official d.
rections to the beer counter. You'll
be greeted with an icy stare and
directions to the bottling goods
counter.
For it might be considered illegal
for a store to sell and display ma
terial for beer making. And it
would be contrary to law for the
writer Of this to tell you how to
make beer, if he knew-which of
course he doesn't.
But there is nothing contrary to

you might want to bottle some

Or rubber hose and various siA

Or can of malt, costing from
20 to SO cents, which might be
used, as the label suggests, to

for one quarter, an alcohol gauge
with directions attached, which ex-
plain that the instrument when
properly used. while the brew is
fermenting, will show what percent
age of alcohol it will contain when
bottled and allowed to stand.

Cyclonic winds in the Southwest

taken over by National Guardsmen.
Seventy-Eight Known Dead
Arkansas, hit by tornadoes earlier
in the year and later by floods,
which did more damage than in any
other State except Louisiana and
possibly Mississippi, has been struck
by another series of twisters. Sew
enty-eight are known dead in the

Eldorado. Ark. reported seventeen
lost lives there last night and many

Texas storms which struck Sunday
night are credited with killing
thirty-seven persons.
There were eight deaths in Chi

ures $50 divorces were obtained by
women and 1888 by men, an in
crease of divorces granted to women
of sixty-nine and a decrease to men
of fifty-two above the 1925 figures.
Although Marion County led in
the divorce list for 1925, with a
total of 1871, it fell far behind Lake
County in the number of marriages.
Marion, County marriages were
1904, while the Lake County total
was 6,422. Lake County divorces
were only 4S6. This great differ
ence is attributed in part to the
presence of the vast metropolitan
area of the Chicago district and the
elopements that are held with cere-
monies in Lake County.
Ohio County reported only two dl-
vorces, one to a husband and one to
a wife. It's marriage total was
thirty-one. In 1925 it had thirty
marriages and six divorces.
Persons who marry in Clark
County seem to be able to make it
permanent better than throughout
the rest of the State. With a total
OF 3,340 marriages, there were only
seventy divorces, fifty to women
and twenty to husbands. Porter
County also made a good record
with 1,155 marriages and twenty
nine divorced.

LONG ISLAND CITY, New York.
May 10.-Mrs. Ruth Brown Snyder.
convicted last night of first.degree
murder. for which the sentence is
death, has suffered two nervous
seizures which physicians said had
a strong resemblance to epilepsy.
Both occurred since the jury
brought in the verdict which de-
manded the life OF herself and Henry
Judd Gray.
AS a result, there appeared a new
possibility that Mrs. Snyder's execu-
ton might be delayed or even that
she might be sent to an asylum rath-
er than to the electric chair.
The law will not permit execution
Of an insane person and should the
seizures she has undergone prove to
be epilepsy, it is possible that she
might be adjudged insane. Should
she recover at any time. however.
the death penalty could then be
executed.
Mrs. Snyder's first attack took
place Immediately on her return to
Jail last night after the verdict had
been read. II required an hour or
more to restore her to consciousness.
She was kept under guard the re-
mainder Of the night.
Second Seizure
At s a. m. today she suffered a
second seizure. An ambulance
surgeon was called and restored con
sciousness after half an hour.
The attacks recalled the testimony
in the trial which told of an instance
when she tainted while at a hotel
with Henry Judd Gray and remained
unconscious an hour while Gray
worked over her.
There was general discussion OF
the possibility that Mrs. Snyder's at
torneys would ask an insanity hear
ing or examination by a commission
before sentence is carried out. Be
fore the trial both Mrs. Snyder and
Gray were examined by psychiatrists
and adjudged sane.
While Mrs. Snyder was in collapse.
Gray, in the other side of the Jail in
the mems quarters, ate a hearty
breakfast and seemed all right.
Verdict Is Read
