indianapolis Children ES-
cape With Minor Injuries.

Three Indianapolis children es-
capped with minor injuries in three
auto accidents late Thursday.
H. T. Bramblett, 26, 1918 South
eastern Ave, swerved into the curb
and nearly wrecked his car in an
effort to avoid striking James
Amato, 4, 1893 E. Georgia ST., in the
street in front of his home. The
child ran from behind a parked car
directly into the path of Bram-
blett's car, witnesses said. The child
received head cuts and minor
bruises.

Mrs. Ethel Payne, 113 w. Fortieth

SEEK TO Clear
GRAVEL FUND
Debt TANGLE
All Possible Outlets for
Payment Now Seem to
Be Blocked.

Forced Economy and
Amounts From Tax Action
Pare Sum to $4,000.
USE CARE THIS YEAR

With all possible outlets blocked,
at least temporarily, county officials
are attempting to work out some
plan for paying off the $4,000 debt
in the free gravel road fund.
Under the new State budget law,
this fund must be clear by 1928. The
fund is derived from a Scent tax
3levy. The debt now standing is one
that a few months ago aggregated
100000, but by forced economy and
amounts coming in from taxation
was pared to $4,000.
Debts Stand for Months
The debt is composed of unpaid
bills for gasoline, road machinery,
gravel and supplies that have stood
for months.
An effort was made, after this
debt was shown by The Times re-
Gently, to pass an appropriation for
$4,000 to pay off part. County
Auditor Harry Dunn asked money
transferred from the school fund,
which is not restricted.
The county council voted thlS
down.
Use Care in Expenditures
Dunn announced extreme care
will be taken this year to hold the
gravel fund debt at a minimum.
Under the county road law, debts
accruing from maintenance OF
roads and buying materials are to
be paid from the free gravel road
fund. 1t is said permanent road
improvements are being made from
the fund.
According to George S1ider this
might be illegal, although interpre-
tations of the law set out that II
is broad enough" to allow perma-
nent repairs.

Hour after hour she screamed

was deadly, and there was not

in irons, but could do nothing for or
with the woman.
They drafted another cook, but
with limited quantities of food and
scarcely any variety, his amateurish
attempts were sickening.

HALTS ATTACK
ON u. S. POLICY
BY VENEZUELAN
William Green Rebukes
Speaker on Monroe Doc
trine; Nicaragua Protests.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 22.-An at
tack upon the Monroe doctrine by
Venezuelan Delegate Rafelo Marti-
nez before the Pan-American Fed
Grafton of Labor conference today
was peremptorily stopped by Presi-
dent William Green of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, presiding
officer who ruled Martinez out of
order and rebuked him.
Private American banking inter
ests are "strangling" the people of
Nicaragua in an effort to obtain
control of the Nicaraguan National
Bank, Solomon De La Selva, Mica
raguan Federation of Labor dele
gate, told the federation.
The American people, De La
Selva said, do not know what is
going on in Nicaragua"
Many Reasons Given
zone day they are told that
what is being done in Nicaragua is
to safeguard American lives and
property and the next day that it
is to safeguard rights to Nicara-
guam canal" he said. "The day
after, bolshevik conditions in Latin
America, with headquarters in Mex
leo, flare up in the minds of those
who control American property as
the reason"
Nov appeals are being made to
American public opinion to uphold
the dignity of American armed
forces. But the real reason has not
been told.
Every revolution or political up
rising in Nicaragua and every in
tervention in Nicaragua has crys-
tallized in loan contract whereby
American bankers obtained the
profit that should accrue to Mica
raguan workers. AS result of the
recent liberal revolution, an ar
rangement is being made whereby
the government of Nicaragua loses
to certain bankers it's civil and po-
litical rights.
Resolution Is Adopted
"These are the only reasons for
the interventions in Nicaragua"
De La Selva spoke on resolu-
ton introduced by the Nicaraguan
delegation which provided that the
Pan-American Federation request
it's executive committee to try to
prevent the United States Govern
ment from assuming the position
toward Nicaragua now held by pri-
vate bankers
The resolution, which was adopt
ed unanimously, also provides that
the Pan-American body shall give
it's support to the Nicaraguan Fed
Grafton in activities against for
eigners.

His was the second burial at sea.

He sent another amateur cook
soon after that, the first substitute
was injured, mysteriously, so Sc
riously that he still bears the marks.
When they reached the Barbados
the tales which circulated in the
port gave the vessel the reputation
of ghost ship. No new sailors
could be got aboard.
So they came on home, laden with
superstitions, horrors, and cocoa
beans, to be met by a coast guard
cutter and the third degree-style
questions of district attorneys last
night.

CHAPTER II

IN spite of the strange new excite
ment which futtered her usually
well-controlled nerves, obeyed noise
lessly, as all good private secretaries
should.
She had entered so noiselessly on
her rubber-h eeled oxfords that
Jerry Macklyn had not heard her,
and for a moment she was too
astonished to apprise him of her
presence. A husky young man, coat
less, and with his shirt sleeves rolled,
above the elbow, was hunched be-
fore a huge, flat-topped desk, which
was completely covered with jars
and bottles and powder boxes. Be-
meath his red hair one tanned
cheek testified that nature had
given him a complexion to harmon
ize with that amazing hair of his,
but the other was completely sub
merged under thick coating of cold
cream.
TT beg your pardon" Vera
.stammered, unable to make up her
mind whether to laugh or to flee,
leaving this astonishing young man
to his shameless rites of beautifi-
cation
ooh, hello, hello!" Jerry Macklyn's
eyebrows descended, his startlingly
blue eyes, which had been seriously
contemplating his image in a hand
mirror, flooded with the light of a
totally unembarrassed smile.
I'm Miss Cameron. Mr.. Garfield
assigned me to your department"
Vera told him in cold, even tones
the impersonal voice which her
favorite business women's magazine
told her was the correct one for a
private secretary to use toward her
employer.
ooh are your" The brilliant smile
faded out of Jerry Macklyn's blue
eyes as he took her in, noted the
severe braids of her mousy brown
hair, the unsmiling eyes behind
horn-rimmed spectacles, the prim
mouth, the austere) black cloth suit,
whose skirt chastely covered her
legs.
Vera flushed with anger for the
second time that day at being ap-
praised and dismissed by an i'm
pertinent, hopeful male.
"Of course you are! Glad to have
you, iss-er-Cameron, isn't it?"
Jerry Macklyn recovered his con-
fusion by reaching into an open
drawer of his desk for towel, with
which he began to rub his cold
creamed cheek vigorously.
"Just getting acquainted with our
line" he grinned at her. Sure a
fancy layout, isn't it? Judas Priest!
I didn't know you girls had to wade
through all this truck before you
were ready to make an appearance.
Smells nice, doesn't it?" he asked
socially, the tip of his short, broad
nose wriggling as he shifted the per-
fumed air about him.
l"The perfume used In our cos
mestics retails at SO an ounce"
Vera informed him.
Gosh! That right?" Jerry Mack
lyn finished scrubbing at his cold
creamed cheek and attacked his
roughed lips.
"a little of the cold cream rubbed
into the lips wiz enable you to re-
move the rouCe most effectively"
Vera told him in even tones, which
gave him nos hint of the desire to
| laugh which was almost upsetting
her morale as perfect private Sec
rotary.
Thanks for the tip" Jerry
grinned cordially, but his eyes were
