Long Reign AS Star
Predicted For
Dolores

opposite some of the foremost
feminine stars in filmdom, be-
lieves that Dolores Del Rio win
enjoy a. record reign OF stardom.
Baxter has just completed the
role of "Alessandro, the Indian
lover. in Ramona" which is
Sonora Del Rios next big starring
photo-drama.
II believe that Miss Del Rio has
more enduring qualities than any
screen actress of recent years,
said Baxter. She has genuine
talent for acting, she has had a
fine background of cultural train
ing, and she has a type of beauty
which will not fade with the
years.
II have seen girl stars come
and 90, and I have seen them
reach the top and then skid slowly
down the ladder of fame and
popularity. But 1t is 10 to ]
gamble that Dolores will remain
near the top, IL not at the very
crest, for many years to come.
Baxter and the Mexican star ap-
pear together in many coiorful
love scenes throughout Ramona.
The actor is enthusiastic over
the Senorita's piquant personality.
1T ia q pleasure to work with an
actress as human and charming as
Miss Del Rio," ne continued She
is unusually intelligent, and she
keeps her head at all times. pre-
dict she will have a long and bril-
liant career as a star"

duced under the latter's personal

Making of Planes
lis Featured on
Screen

For those interested in avia-.
tion-and who is not these days
1.-THE remarkable strides made in
the construction Of air-planes in
the last 10 years is readily shown
in Glenn Tryon's latest starring
picture now being shown at the
f. Ito, "A Hero for a Night.
Glenn Tryon portrays cor
resnondence school aviator who
builds his own plane IN order
to enter a Zee across the Atlantic.
The property department, at Uni.
versal City sc, uted around and
found q plane or the now obsolete
sspusher'' type, that was made
famous by Lincoln Beachey
. dozen years ago. This type OF
plane as many will remember
has the engine directly over the
pilot, who sits well in front OF
the rest Of the machine. No
such thing the fuselage was
known at that time. and there
was only a strap between the
pilot and oblivion.
The plane caused considerable
comment when it was wheeled on
the landing field at Clover Field,
California. and many skeptics
of the younger generation were
very open in their statements
that such a plane had ever been
in the air. Al Wilson, noted
stunt aviator and Universal star,
promptly showed them that such
. plane had been up in the air
by taking it up for a tail spin.
1t behaved admirably in the air.
but Wilson admitted that a 1927
model was easier to handle.
This Lincoln Beachey plane is
used. however. in the sequences
of "A Hero for a Night.

ASK SCHOOL BONDS
Petition Tax Board Today
for 100000 Issue.

Albert F. Walsman. Indianapolis
school business director, and Jacob
Hilkene, buildings and grounds
superintendent. will ask the State
Tax Board Tuesday to approve a
proposed 100000 bond issue to
build four grade schools here.
I'VE have q suit pending in the
Montgomery Circuit Court, venued
from here" Walsman said. but we
want to get this Strengthened out
as soon as possible so we can get
to work on the schools"
The suit against the tax board,
to determine extent of the boards
power. will be tried next week.
The tax board some time ago Or
dered the school board to obtain
plans and specifications for the
buildings before bonds would be
approved. An opinion by Martin M.
Hugg. school attorney, holds the
school board cannot legally con-
tract with architects for plans until
money to pay architects is available.
The schools have no money to pay
architects until the bond issue is
granted and sold, Walsman said.

Doctor at 80 Found People
Preferred His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875. nor since
he placed on the market the laXa-
tive prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and
the public since 1892 as DR. Cald-
wells Syrup PepSin
Then, the treatment Of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stom-
ach and other indispositions that
result from constipation was en-
tirely by means Of simple vegetable
laXatives, herbs and roots. These
are still the basis of DR.. CaldWells
Syrup Pepsin, which is a combina-
ton Of SIENNA and other mild laxa-
tive herbs, with pepsin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they we're good for hu-
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. If grown people want to use
them no one can deny them the
privilege, but they should never be
given to children
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation. the safer for the child
and for you. and the better for the
general health Of all. And as you
can get results in a mild and safe
way by using DR.. Caldwell's Syrur
Pepsin, why take chances with

profess confidence that they can
perform a miracle in the remaining
four weeks.
They hope that Senator Golf will
defeat Hoover in the West Virginia
primary, May 90, and revive the
waning efforts of some Of their sup
porters.
They count on Secretary Mellon,
despite his declaration for Hoover,
to keep his delegation from voting
for Hoover for several ballots.
They even talk of trying to NOM
mate Ambassador Morrow, as a last
minute candidate.
They bank on agricultural pro-
tests to frighten the party into
naming somebody supposedly more
popular in the Middle West.
But the Hoover people say these
are vain hopes Right now they
are devoting all their efforts to
winning West Virginia, where Golf
is admittedly the candidate of the
Hilles group.
A Hoover victory in that State on
the eve Of the convention, it is ex-
pected. will rout his opponents so
completely that they may not be
able to reform their forces until too
late.

FIGHT TO HEAD
OFF SWEEP OF
SMITH, HOOVER
Small Groups in Both Par
ties Battle With Backs
to Wall.
BY RAY TUCKER

united Press stan correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 21.-Thc
presidential race rounded into the
home stretch today with small
groups in both parties still striving
desperately to head off Herbert
Hoover and Governor Al Smith.
The two leaders made distinct
gains during the past week with the
capture of several primary and con-
vention states of delegates.
Almost as significant of the New
York Governors strength as the
Iowa result some weeks ago, was his
defeat of Senators Walsh and Reed
in the Oregon fight. AS a
States supposedly prejudiced against
Roman Catholicism, it was not ex-
pected that Smith would so we'll
Even more significant was the
fact that Walsh, though a Catholic,
and no longer a candidate, ran sec
ond. Smith partisans are hailing
the Oregon result as evidence that
he will not suffer because Of his
religious affiliation.
OraD Outstanding Leads
Hoover's large vote in his uncon-
tested search for Oregon delegates
has been cited by his followers as
another answer to claims he will
not run we'll in agricultural States.
So far. the concerted movement
to talk Hoover out of a nomination
has not gained much Roadway. and
Oregon is counted on to give it an
other setback.
The Hoover camp now claims
that he has 487 certain convention
votes without including any sup
port from New York or Pennsyl-
vania, where he is expected to pick
up enough to assure him the nomi-
nation
Smiths hackers say he has passed
the 600 mark and has enough n re-

Der of 1872. These figures are dis
puted by rival candidates, but they
reflect the outstanding lead which
the two men hold at this time.

W-Fated 81 Destined
for Mays Junk Yard
Memories and Cost Make
Replacement Out of
Question.
BIZ NEA Service

BOSTON, Mass, May 22,-The
submarine S-4, aboard which forty
officers and men plunged to their
deaths off Provincetown, Mass, last
December in one of the most dra-
matte tragedies of navy history, is
destined for the navys junk yard
While official announcement of
the disposition of the S-4 has not
yet been made, it is regarded as
certain at the Boston Navy Yard
that plans to recondition the sub
marine and restore it to active serv-
ice will be abandoned.
The S-4 has been tied up at one
of the wharves of the navy yard
since she was brought here from
Provincetown on pontoons, the last
bodies removed from her hull,
great hole in her side patched up,
and the ship refloated.
Sentiment has played part in
the navy'S decision to abandon the
vessel. no doubt. Men would not
want to go to sea in ship about
which clustered such black memo
ries as those of the S-4.
There are economic reasons, too.
To recondition the submarine would
cost at least a million dollars. The
S-4's original cost, when she was
built in 1916, was only a million and
a half. And the S-4 never could
match the larger and more capable
submarines of today.
So the S-4, from which Lieut..
Graham N. Fitch hammered out his
despairing code messages through
three grim days of last winter, is to
become but a relic.
The Ssh, another ill-fated unit
of the navy's submarine fleet, came
to a similar end. Raised from the
bottom of the ocean off Rhode Is
land, where she took thirty three
men to their deaths after colliding
with the steamship City of Rome,
the Ssh was towed to Brooklyn
Navy Yard. There her shattered
hulk still remains.

MORROW Will
:. PAY VISIT TO
u. S. IN june
Hard Problems Still Face
American Ambassador,
in Mexico.

BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, May 22.-Ambas-
sador Dwight w. Morrow will leave
here at the end of this month for
a short visit to the United States,
going first to Washington to report
on Mexican matters to Secretary of
State Kellogg.
Although credited in some quar-
tiers with accomplishing much to-
ward establishment of good will be-
tween the United States and Mex
leo the ambassador still is con-
fronted with several knotty prob
liens.
The outstanding success of Nor
rows ambassadorial terms so far has
been his settlement Of the oil con-
troversy.
In making his agreement with
the Mexicans he went $3.50 with
them. He got the Mexican govern
ment to rescind its regulation
whereunder oil lands would auto
rnatically pass from private to public
ownership within certain term of
years and instead to recognize the
perpetuity of private ownership
once title to the lands was proved.
In exchange the agreement pro-
vided for formal recognition of the
right of the Mexican courts to pass
finally upon the authenticity of the
land titles held by aliens. Each
side thus gained something.
Among the questions remaining
to be solved the agrarian problem
probably is the most important. 1t
concerns land belonging to aliens
taken by the MeXfcans for question
able compensation, to be parcelled
out among Indian peasants.
The settlement Of MeXico's eX-
ternaI debt is another problem. A
third is the dispute between the
Catholic Church and the Mexican
government. This is the most deli
cate Of all because it is a domestic
matter and whatever Ambassador
Morrow is able to do must be done
in informal fashion purely as
friendly act.
The Ambassador will be accom-
panied by his wife on the north
ward trip.
Ambassador Morrow will attend
the commencement exercises at
Marshall College in West Virginia
where his father formerly was the
principal and then will go to the
Smith College commencement exer-
cises for the graduation of his
daughter, Anne.
He plans to return to Mexico
about July 1.
