PIONEER VOTED ON
STAT7EHOUSE BILL
Hot Air on Increase in State
legislature Says ex-
laWmaker.

"The gradual increase in legisla-
tive hot air, ranging from the Gov
ernor's message to Legislative proceed
ure, is the most outstanding legisla
tive development, declared Jane
G. Claypool of Fountain County
only surviving member of the Legis-
lature that passed the bill provid-
ing for the present Statehouse in
1877.
Claypool was elected from Foun-
tain County, where he was born in
1852, and served one term in the
House. He took a rest until 1925,
when he again appeared as a mem.
ber Of the same body.
He sought reelection In 1925, but
a pesl1y Democrat beat me-" he said,
explaining his return to private life.

reporter found him milling around

Then ne told the story. One mem.

seven votes badly needed to put over

ment and voted against the new
building five times.

porter OF the building plan. What
can we do to get that preacher
over?" Neff one day demanded of
C1aypool.
Take him down to the basement
and show him that pool of water
covering the floor" was Claypool's
suggestion.
The Legislature then was meeting
in the old Statehouse, on the site
Of the present capitol.
Neff tried the plan. Hardly had

Thiel will also introduce an old

Backed BY Orders
These measures are sponsored by
representatives of twenty patriotic
civic and fraternal orders.
At recent committee meeting
Governor Jackson indicated he IA
vored the pension act. A survey
on the subject was conducted by a
State committee in 1923.
Otto P. Deluse, Indianapolis, is
leading the fight on the pension law.
Advice is being sought on pro-

State tax board.

Little hope Is held for any bill
which would abolish the Statewide

THE SEQUEL TO SONIA

puff still lifted, she cried, You
aren't going now?"
His eyes met hers calmly.
'I think I'd better. I won't be
long"
She faced him. trembling with
rage.
Il know that was Elaine"
well, what if it WASP"
Her lips twisted into a bitter smile
but her voice was firm.
Don't you think" she said delib-
erately, that you are letting an old
friendship carry you too far?"
He replied evenly, Not at all. +"
And returned to the bath room to
continue his dressing.
Tears of anger, of furious, hurt,
resentment gathered in Sonia's eyes.
She would not have believed these
things could happen to her. Some
other wife. Some other husband!
But, oh. not Don! And the nerve,
the devilishly cool nerve of Elaine
Wallace. Calling him under her
very nose.
Friendship or no friendship"
Sonia thought, this is going too far.
Today Of all days"
She was still in negligee when
Don left the bath room. He came
over attempting TO kiss her nose.
Don't be playful with me, Don
Saltwater" she cried, hotly.
He looked at her surprised.
DO you mean you are really
angry?"
"Of course. am. I didn't say a
word about you taking her to lunch
yesterday. 1 haven't bothered you
about. this secret you seem to
have. I've tried to be a good sport"
she sobbed, ike any other woman,
but when it comes to having you
leave me for her on our wedding an
nlVersary :"
He was watching her curiously.
Scientifically as only Don could.
do you mean you doubt me,
Sonia?"
Suddenly realizing the significance
of all she had said she flung herself
on the bed. When he would have
touched her she cried. GO on,
Keep your engagement Don't let
me interfere"
Pain quite as intense as her own
seemed to sweep his face.
"All right. if that's the way you
feel about it,"
The door closed behind him while
Sonia. miserably conscious of hav.
ing been guilty of scene" lay on
the bed and wept.
She wept that Don, of whose
loyalty she had been so confident,
could desert her for the claims Of
any other woman, whatever the
reason. She wept because Elaine
had dared to use that ancient friend
ship as a ruse to lure her husband,
away. She wept to think their
anniversary had been ruined by the
only quarrel they had ever had
Then, being Sonia, she wept most
bitterly because she had not lived
up to her resolution to play the
game"
When Don returned he found her
dressed in the yellow gown, tears
carefully removed.
Are you sure you want to go
now?" he asked. coldly.
Just as you like"
He asked, miserably, whats the
use? We shant enjoy dancing
while we are hating each other"
"Oh, are we?" Sonia retorted

shook it free from the folds Of tissue

last time she had worn it. Don had

more sacred night. returning to San

rain to purchase them. Surely If he
regretted his bargain he would not
be sending them again.
1t was an endless day. Sonia
cleaned bureau drawers, washed
gloves, found unnumbered odd jobs

Words of wisdom-those! For as

Her fingers twitched with resent
