BANKER HAS OPTIMISTIC VIEW
OF PROSPECTS FOR YEAR HERE

The financier called attention to a
steady growth both in the main bank
at Tucson and in the branch here
which he remarked is a barometer in
dicating increased stability and pros
perity in both communities as banks
cannot increase their business in cities
where general business is not also in
creasing.
Solomon commented on the rapid
growth Of aviation. He deplored the
terrible accidents that happen from
time to time and said that the fault
was clearly in stunt flying and flying
by improperly trained pilots. He said
that as soon as stlinting could be
eliminated or properly supervised and
rules laid down governing flying SC
that half taught pilots would not be
permitted to go up alone the air would
be safe for everyone.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-02

Small feet-from the beginning Of
time the mark of ariStocracy and
high breeding-are just as frequent
ly found in Indianapolis as in any
other American city, as results in
The Cinderella Contest are showing.
BY Monday morning there was a
stack of small feet" outlines walt
ing on the Cinderella editors desk
of The Times, and every mail since
then has heen bringing in other en-
tries.
The Cinderella contest is being
held by Carrie of the team of Carrie
and Eddie, featured dancers in the
Petite Revue at B. F. Keith's this
week, to determine whether there
are women in Indianapolis who have
feet as small or smaller than those
Of this dainty dancer.
If there are none as tiny as Car
rie's, then the smallest in Indian
apolis will be counted as the prize
winning pedal eXtremities, and will
win, as the first prize, a pair of $18
l. Miller shoes.
In order to enter the contest it is
only necessary to send to the Gin
derella contest editor of The Times
an outline of your foot without a

shoe, so that some idea of the rela-
tive size of contestants feet may be
gained.
The owners of the twenty-six
smallest feet in indianapolis will
then be notified to come to Keith'S
theater on Saturday evening, where
sizes will be verified and Carrie will
present the prize to the winner.
Remember, the first award is an
order for choice of any $18 pair
of I. Miller shoes. The "runners-up"
that is the twenty-five contestants
whose feet are next smallest in
size, will each be given two tickets
to Keith'S theater for the week of
Feb. 5. All contestants must be more
than eighteen years Of age, however.
BY way of information, Carries
dainty feet are shod in either a
rumber Is in a child's size shoe or
a number in woman'S shoe. The
average size shoe worn by most
women of Indianapolis is a or 6.
Carrie, however, weighs only ninety
three pounds and is only four feet
eleven inches tall. SO dainty feet are
to be expected of the diminutive
miss.
However, The Times believes that
there are just as small feet on In
dianapolis girls and women, and
takes this method of proving it. So
send IN your foot outlines and let's
show Carrie that the Hoosie wom-
en- are certainly Cinderella's twin
sisters, when it comes to foot sizes.

prised," said Mr.. John w. Carver,
well-known Indianapolis citizen, liv-
ing at SIS North Delaware Street,
this city, during recent converse
ton with The Konjola Man, who
is at Hooks Drug Store, Illinois
and Washington Sts., where crowds
are calling daily to learn more about
this amazing new medical prepara-
ton.
Yes, my rheumatic aches ana
pains have vanished" said Mr.. Car
yer, land L had no idea that such
a short treatment of any medicine
would so completely relieve my
trouble.
II had been affected mostly across
my back and through my hips.
When would go to move a certain
way, either when walking or turn
ing sideways in bed, L would get a
sharp, terrific pain that seemed to
come suddenly like shock, and it
certainly was miserable. Of course,
I ached continually, but when these
sharp pains would grab me I felt
like I just couldn't stand the SUI
fering another minute. If I at
tempted to rise from a sitting po-
sition, I had to hold to something
and be careful not to twist a GER
tain way. At nights was subject
to these attacks, which broke UP
my rest so that I could seldom get
a nights sleep. I would wake every
morning feeling so terrible that IL
was misery to even dress myself. 1
couldn't even fire the furnace-and
1 tell you this rheumatism is awful.
IT began on this Konjola as soon
as I learned what it was doing for
so many Indianapolis people, ano
as I said, it relieved me very quick.
I get up in the mornings and dress
without bit OF pain now, and /
sleep fine all night long and can
bend and twist any way I care to.
The pains in my back, hips ana
limbs are all relieved, and It's a
blessing now that I have no fear
of those awful attacks Of pain ana
suffering as I experienced before.
I've been helped in many otheS
ways by Konjola,. and my whole
body has a new feeling of health
all over. 1 can put in a good days
work now, and feel like doing lots
Of lifting and other things that re-
quire strength.
after all this relief from rheu-
matism, I surely take pleasure in
making a public Endorsement of
Konjola."

life that his record reads like one
wonderful power, touched here and
there by the strains of a great SYM
phony.
Probably the blue waters near
ScyroS are keeping up that SYM
phony of his life as he sleeps the
great sleep.
I notice in my volume of his
poems, that my edition totals the
eighty sixth thousand and since
then the record has gone up.
Brooke was born in Rugby on
Aug. 3, 1887, and died on French
hospital ship at ScyTos on Friday,
April %, 1915, and as Margaret Law
ington writes, died for England"
Brooke was beloved by all those
who knew him-he knew the great
and those just human. Even when
he was in training camp he wrote
several war SonnetS which had more
truth in them about war than hun
dreds of histories about war con-
tain.
I became interested in the life of
Brooke and his poetry through Dick
Halliburton tells you
about his visit to Brooke's grave in
1.-The Glorious Adventure"
To me, Brooke is the most human
and the most beautiful of all the
modern poets.
You have missed great beauty and
a wonderful friend if you are not ac-
quainted with this glorious boy who
now sleeps on and one, but whose
poetry goes marching on.

Ocean Holds Account
of Columbus Voyage

When Christopher Columbus re-
turned to Spain from the New world,
he stopped on February IA, 1893, at
Santa Maria, one of the islands of
the Azores, probably to take water.
-Four days before this he had encoun-
tered severe storm and was con-
WINGED that he, his men and his ves-
sells must perish. Columbus realized
In his heart that he was going back
to Spain with news Of a discovery Sec
ond in Importance to no other, and
when it seemed that his ship would
sink at any moment, he set to work
to make a record of his mighty I'M
dertaking, hoping that by some will of
the fates 1t would not be lost to pos
terity. So he carefully prepared as
complete an account Of his voyage as
was possible. He wrote the details
Of his journey on a stout piece OF.
parchment, wrapped it in a piece Of
waterproof cloth, then placed it in an
iron-bound barrel and threw it into
the ocean. But the fates were kinder
to Columbus than to this account, for
