CHICAGO, July 21.-A half hun
dred of Chicago's alimony rebels, pro
fessed victims of laws which they say
prescribe that the man shall pay and
pay and pay, have organized an ali.
mony club for a fight on "goldtlig-
ging" and ''profiteering" in the di.
Vorce courts.
Among the founders Of the club,
which came into being last night, was
woman who said she was working
to aid her husband pay an allowance
TO his former wife. who was spending
1t on riotous living.
Another charter member said the
money he was paying his wife was
being used by her to support another
man.
Still another said he was under an
order to pay alimony to wife who
was earning more than he was.
Dodged IL Cities.
The rank and file included "vic-
tim" who said he had lodged AZ cities
TO escape alimony payments; one who
said his wife dosed his coffee with
carbolic acid and then ran off with a
neighbor; a man who invented a bull
let-proof vest after marital mishaps,
and one who had married a bigamist,
collecting money from five ex-hus-
bands.
The founders expect the club to be-
come a national organization, with a
vision of establishing bureaus for pre-
venting unfair divorces, for effecting
reconciliations and for other concom-
liant duties.

The Indiana Anti-Saloon League was
described as a tyranny" by Attorney
General Arthur l.. Gilliom in an adj

Giliom, who recently announced
himself in favor of medicinal whisky.

The speaker urged the citizenry of
Indiana to cooperate in bringing the
public mind to a state Of vigilance
against agencies which, he said, would
rob the people of their inalienable
rights as Americans through the big

such agencies would stop at nothing
to intimidate public officials.
Supporting his belief that the dry
law in Indiana should be amended to
provide for medicinal liquor, Gilliom
declared the opposition was headed by
''fanatical minority groups, which.
not content with exerting their infiu-
ence to control legislation affecting
the masses, would seek to curb the OPP

Flight-Belt Holds Body
in Craft.

PEORIA, Ill, July 21.-As they
were taking off for a flight to their
homes in WATERFOWL, N. Y, Jack Car
lock was burned to death and his
pilot, Charles Baughn, received burns
which are likely TO cause his death
when their plane crashed at Lomax,
Ill.,. near here.
They had been at the plant of the
National Always System, awaiting
delivery of a stock model plane which
they were to fly to WATERFOWL. The
crash happened when Baughn banked
the plane and did not see a tree on
one side of the field. The machine
took fire and was almost totally de.
stroyed.
Inability Of Carlock to solve the
combination Of his safety belt was
the probable cause of his death.
Baughn unloosened the belt that held
him in the forward cockpit before he
became unconscious from the burns
and his body dropped from the blaz.
ing plane. Baughn was taken to the
hospital at Burlington, Iowa.

ANCIENT RELICS
FOUND IN MOUNDS
Silver Crosses, Buckles and
Other Gifts to Indians Un-
earthed in Illinois.
By Science Service

JOLIET. H., July 21.-Silver crosses,
buckles and other gifts from the early
French TO the Indians, exhumed from
mounds near this city, write an inn
portant chapter into the story of the
mound builders. according to DR.. A.
V. kidder, we'll known American
anthropologist, who stopped here to
inspect the work while on his way to
the Pueblo country in the Southwest.
I'VE have known for a long time
that the mound builders were real
Indians" said DIR. kidder. THE old
notion that they were a mysterious,
separate race has had to go into the
limbo of discarded myth, along with
the even more fantastic ideas that
the Norsemen or the lost tribes of
Israel built these earthworks. But
the puzZling thing has been that the
Indians found here by the white man
did not build mounds, and disclaimed
any knowledge of the people who built
them. But the discovery of these
silver objects, along with a few china
beads and some fragments of Euro.
pean cloth. clearly proves that In
dams of the relatively, recent past
were mound builders. The hostile re-
latlons between the early American
settlers and the Indians, together with
the disturbances and migrations of
the tribes caused by the coming of
the white man, may have been fac.
tors in our failure to get any informa.
ton on the subject directly from liv.
ing Indians"
This tyiEg-in Of recent Indian
culture with mound building has been
due largely to the work of George
Langford, Joliet factory head. With
the assistance of one or two volun.
teers from among his own men. Mr.
Langford has been working the
mound site in his spare time for
number of years. Many of the silver
objects were uncovered by two other
Joliet citizens, who explored one of
the mounds on their own account sew.

Liquor smugglers frequently use
burros in transporting their contra

if they are killed they lose but little.
Interesting to Tourists.
The burro is interesting to tourists
and makes an ideal pet for children

away. But these compliments sum up
his general usefulness in these times
In this and other mountainous re-
gions, where burros abound, they are
taken to public corrals and shot if
buyers cannot be found. They are
meeting similar fates in other sec
tons, where they run in wild herds,
the ranchmen killing them to save
grass for their live stock. Still
others are finding their way into
soap factories.
