EXCUSABLE LIE DEFINED
Bishop Declares He Would Speak
FalsehOOd to Save Life.

BIZ Times Special
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE problem
of when a bishop might lie was
solved by the Bishop of Southwell
recently in an address to Noting
ham teachers.
"I should be prepared" he said,
ito exonerate a person who tells a
lie to save an innocent life, if l
thought it was reasonably sure that
not to lie would mean the loss of
such n file.
Having the choice of two evils,
should certainly choose the lesser,
just as I would uphold a starving
man who stole food to keep himself
alive"
The bishop added that he did not
believe in telling fanciful legends to
children with the idea of evading
awkward questions.

ing the latest data from other cities

ager plan.

oyer plan is right and it is our duty

A city-wide committee, including
numerous prominent business and
professional leaders, has advocated
the city manager form for Indian
apolis for some time, but has made
no definite move toward calling an

The Federation voted to make an
effort to prevent passage in the
House of Representatives Of the city
manager amendment bill providing
that the mayor in office be allowed
to serve the remainder Of his term
in event of the adoption of the new
form.
The bill Is said to be a move on
the part of politicians to save the
jobs of Mayor Duvall of Indian
apolis and Mayor Herbert Males of
Evansville, both threatened by city
manager movements.
The federation favored illumina-
ton of the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument, supported the proposed
increased park levy and favored
abolishment of the Public Service
Commission.
The Monument resolution requests
the Legislature to Appropriate $1O,-
900 to provide lights.

cation in the House have CREASED

think.

French Clements, Evansville, is
