NEAPOLIS WOULD HAVE
BEEN BETTER OFF!
No bombs are going to be
placed under the courthouse,
frankie knows that, because
he knows the GANG LOVES
ITS FRIEND TOO WELL. The
only thing that 'busts" around
there that makes Frank fretful
is the Saturday Press and that
tickles him exactly as though
he were sitting on a nest Of
hornets.
What Minneapolis really
NEEDS is a Grand Jury that
will jerk Brunskill out from
under his tam-o'- shanter and
deposit him in the ''has been"
class.
If the present Grand Jury
doesn't do it, l guess we will
have to call for one that will.
What with big diamond rob-
berries "unsolved;" with rug
robberies also "unsolved;"
with murders "unsolved;" with
assaults galore, 'unsolved,"
it's about time we changed
chiefs. Your hats on the peg
to your right, so close the door
softly, Francis, as you leave.
Thank you!

Girl Spends Night
at Vacant House

Janet Young, u, of 1916 N. La
Sale ST., was back home today after
a nights absence.
When her mother reprimanded her
for returning from school late Fri
day and said she must spend the
evening at home instead of the
theater, she loaded up blankets and
tarpaulin and spent the night in
an empty house near her home, she
told Miss Leona Foppiano, of the po-
lice missing persons bureau.
She wasn't afraid at the start, but
when the boards began to squeak in
the night air she became frightened
and spent a sleepless terror-stricken
night, the girl said, according to
Miss Foppiano.
When dawn broke she returned
home.
II just wanted to prove to myself
that 1 could go out alone at night,
and not be afraid" the girl said.

where girls ran away and made
their own fortunes. and thought
I'd like to try it for a few hours.

PASS 2-CENT TAX
FOR EDUCATION
State Fails to Keep Pace,
Declared CIaycombe.

With only three votes against it
the 2-cent levy for Indiana's insti
tutions Of higher education passed
the Indiana House Of Representa-
tives today and now goes to the
Senate.
Calling attention to the fact that
but few students from other States
come to Indiana for an education be-
cause of the condition of the col
leges, Representative Lloyd Clay
combe, Indianapolis, said:
"We have not kept pace with our
population growth in providing for
our colleges and normal schools in
the past ten years. Students from
other States do not come here. Even
this bill does not adequately meet
the needs Of our colleges" he said.
There was no opposition voiced
during the consideration.
The bill originally called for a g.
cent levy which has been cut to 2
cents on each $100 of assessed valua-
ton. The first tax, if the Senate
passes the bill, will be levied in
1928 and collected in 1929. The levy
is to run for ten years, and it is
estimated will produce $1,000,000 a
year. The funds are to be used in
land and building improvements.
