ASKS ALABAMA
TO GUST KHAN
Governor Is Requested to
Uphold Constitution.

BB United Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. ga
demand that Governor Bibb Graves
"disband the Ku-Klux Khan in Ala
bama in order that the supremacy
of the Constitution may be re-estab-
lished," was made in statement
issued here Thursday by John @.
Bankhead, attorney.
Bankhead scored the chief execu-
tive for failure to take action
against two members of his official
family who declared their oaths to
the Khan were superior to their oaths
to the State"
He referred presumably to George
H. Thigpen, State insurance COM
missioner, and Cecil Davis, State tax
agent, who refused to answer ques-
tons in the recent grand jury inves-
tigation of masked floggings in
Crenshaw County. Davis was Jailed
five days as result.

MAN PINNED BENEATH
TREE SAVED BY DOG
Plea for Help Is Tied Around Neck
of Pet.

BIZ United Press
SYDNEY, Oct. 28.-When John
Flynn, 20, was knocked unconscious
and pinned to the ground by fallen
tree in the Victorian bush, his dog
saved his life.
The animal waited near the mans
motionless body, and licked his face
until Flynn revived slightly.
Flynn had just enough strength to
scribble call for help to his mother
and tie it in n handkerchief round
the dogs neck. The animal headed
homeward.
After it had run two miles to the
Flynn's home, Mrs. Flynn did not
notice the handkerchief round the
dogs neck, and for several hours the
dog fretted around the house until
another member of the household
returned and saw the mute message.
A relief party quickly was organ

Fast Work
High Powered Cars Big
Help to City's High
Powered Statesmen.

Highpowered cars have contribut-
ed considerably to highpowered
craftsmanship.
Such a conclusion was drawn
from the revelation of certain real
estate selling secrets made by a once
prominent Indianapolis dealer in
farm lands.
"a fast car is a great asset in
selling farm land, especially If it is
some distance from the city," the
retired salesman asserted. "You see,
I used to get an old couple in my
car and whirl them out into the
country at a rapid rate. If the dis
lance was, say, ten miles, we would
arrive there in no time.
"'It isn't very far from town,
they would venture, surprised at this
rapid arrival.
ooh, no, just a f1fteen-minute
ride I rejoined, but after they
bought the place and motored to
town in the f1ivver they soon saw
the difference.

SHEIk LIKES BLONDE
Pasha of Morocco Chooses
One as Favorite

PARIS, Oct. 28.-El Glaoui, Pasha
of Marakech in Morocco, has made
his annual trip to Paris to buy silks
and perfumes for his 800 wives. Most
of his purchases, however, are for
his wife No. /, a Circassian blonde,
who has been the favorite for four
teen years.
ely Glaoui confesses that his Cir
cassian wife was won, not by ar
dent conquest, but by turn Of the
cards.
Two years before the World War
he met rich young Turk, an in
veterate gambler, and in a few days
had won 100000 Turkish pounds
from the fat Mohammedan.
Then he bet his entire winnings
against the Turks blonde wife, and
won.
The loser was so overcome with
grief that the sheik offered to let
the woman choose her man. She
went with the tall Moroccan chief.

HONOR TEACHER
FOR YEARS OF
PUBLIC SERVICE
State Group Recognizes
Miss O'Hair'S Work of
Two Decades.

After twenty years OF pubic SerV-
ice in the interests of schools and
teachers of indianapolis two signal
honors were given Miss Belle O'Hair
of the English department of Short
ridge High School at the recent con-
vention of the Indiana State
Teachers Association.
She was elected vice president Of
the Indiana State Teachers Asso-
citation and made the seventh dis
trict member of the association ex-
ecutive board.
Miss O'Iair Is well known to IN
diana legislators because of her work
in connection with the Indianapolis
and the State Teachers Fedora
ton and the Indiana State Teach
ers' Association at every session of
the State Legislature from 1907
through 1921.
Launched Teachers Pensions
While teacher in the Benjamin
Harrison school in the spring of
1907, Miss O'Hair called a meeting of
the teachers of that building in the
interests of a pension for Indian
apolis teachers. Three days later
the movement was launched with
the heartiest cooperation of Calvin
N. Kendall, then superintendent OF
the indianapolis public schools.
Miss OT1air and Miss Laura Don
nan later led the campaign in the
State Legislature for the passing of
the indianapolis teachers fund,
which, -ecently has been combined
with the State teachers pension
fund.
Another notable accomplishment
in the interest of teachers was
made by Miss O'Hair the same year.
She organized the present fedora
ton of Indianapolis public school
teachers and served as president for
eleven and half years.
Miss O'Hair recalls that she was
directly or indirectly responsible for
the organization of the teachers
declarations in Evansville, Terre
Haute, South Bend, Richmond, Ma
rion, Muncie, Anderson, Greencastle,
New Albany, Jefersonville, Henry
County and Marion County.
Headed State Troupe
For two years Miss OHair was
president of the State Teachers
Federation. She was chairman OF
the membership committee of the
National League of Teachers Asso-
Citations. During her Craftsmanship
a great number of local, city and
State organizations were brought in
to this league. Among them were
Kansas City, New York City, San
Francisco, Seattle and Omaha.
She spent fourteen weeks in the
British Isles several years ago study
ing their elementary and high
school systems. She was selected
for the trip by the school board and
superintendent Of schools. Miss
O'Hair has examined text books for
the State board of education and
for the school board. At one time
she assisted in the revision of the
English course in the Indianapolis
public schools.
Belongs to Women's Clubs
As a war worker, Miss OHair was
sent throughout the State to speak
on the conservation of food and in
vestment in war savings stamps.
She is a charter member of the
Woman's Department Club, mem
Der of the local Council of Women,
and charter member of the
Womans Franchise League of In
diana.
Miss O'FIair lives at 1852 N. Ala

Prevailing prices on veal In Madison
county are high. In fact they're so
high that it's dangerous for a motorist
to smear a calf all over the highway.
That's the official report brought
back by James w. Rogers, chief depu-
ty state treasurer, after his weekly
quest for knowledge of value to mo-
florists, following a trip to the Madi-
son river, and the creeks where the
Loeb Leven abound.
For the information of those who
have missed the early chapters Of the
Rogers romance, 1t might be we'll to
explain that the deputy treasurer is COM
piling comparative charts showing valu-
atoms of everything along highways that
might enter into spelling little journeys
int Montana wilds. Thus far he has
compiled accurate information as to the
cost OF water plugs, telephone posts,
range steers, barbed wire fences, fence
posts, culverts-because he has hit 'em
all with the chariot that bears the in
scription Dodge, Brothers, Dodge" He
is also capable of rafting off prevailing
quotations on all sorts of auto access
cries from radiators to bumpers. wheels
headlights, steering gear, tall lights, fen
ders and everything about a bus that
might come in contact with objects
along the road-because he has pur-
chased EN- all.
But Jim was back at his desk at the
capitol again as usual one recent
Monday morning. His car was in the
surgery for five days after hitting {
Boulder steer and emerged with all IT.
playthings working. So, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin Baer, Rogers left fol
Ennis and the Madison country the pre-.
ceding Saturday. His quest for knowl.
edge will not be denied. One week he
won a running fight with the Rerefore
steer near Boulder even though Ermyn'
trude, as he affectionately calls his car
emerged looking like the Wreck Of the
Hesperus.
En- route to the Madison, he cam
neal being forced to enter up the price
Of veal in the book of statistics. He at
tempted to slosh through a herd Of COW
and late calves. Slow speed was neces.
sary and Rogers simply doesn't know
anything about slow speed. He SHIFTED
into low. Then he killed his engine
When he started again a playful heifei
