PARCHMENT SEEN
Move to Dust Commissioner
Admitted Possible.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Action
looking toward House impeachment
of Federal Trade Commissioner A.
F. Myers is possibility" Senator
Walsh of Montana said today.
Walsh said he and Senator Borah,
majority member Of the Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee which
held the recent bread trust hearings
at which Myers testified, might
transmit the records of that hearing
to the House.
Such transmission would be
necessary step to any action in the
House looking toward impeachment,
and would be done with that end in
view, Walsh said.
He and Borah we're dissatisfied
with the version given by Myers of
the dismissal of Government action
against the Continental Baking
Company in which Myers played a
leading part. Whether the record is
transmitted or not, their report
probably will contain severe critic
ism of Myers.

WHEN YOUR
HAND GOES TO
YOUR HEART

Difficulty in breathing and heart
palpitation are symptoms of high
blood pressure, which may cut off
life suddenly. Our modern habits
of life are responsible, putting too
great a strain upon the vital organs,
especially the liver.
When the liver becomes limp"
or sluggish it fails to cleanse the
blood of the toxic poisons formed
in food waste. The poisons then
permeate the system, affecting stom-
ach, kidneys, heart and blood pres
sure.
The liver occasionally needs a lit
lie help, and there's nothing better
for this, as medical men today
know, than a little OK gall. Ok gall
is great natural stimulant for the
human liver, promoting its normal
active functioning, so essential to
real health. Dioxol tablets are gen.
t1ine OK gall in dainty and tasteless
form, each tablet representing 10
drops of pure OK gall. A few bring
impressive results. To be sure of
getting the genuine OK gall, be sure
Of getting Dioxol. They cost less
than &c each at druggists.

! It consisted of two blank walls;
and at the end, occupying almost
its entire width, was the oak door
which led to the court.
Vance could have disappeared
only through that oak door. And
the thing we all noticed at once
for our eyes had Immediately sought
twas the horizontal position of
the bolt-handle. This meant that
the door was bolted.
Heath was not merely astonished
he was dumbfounded. Markham
had halted abruptly, and stood star
ing down the empty passageway as
If he saw a ghost.
After a momentary hesitation
Heath walked rapidly to the door.
But he did not open it at once.
He went down on his knees before
the lock and scrutinized the bolt
carefully. Then he took out his
pocketknife and inserted the blade
into the crack between the door and
the casing.
The point halted against the inner
molding, and the edge of the blade
scraped upon the circular bolt.
There was no question that the
heavy oak castings and holdings
of the door were solid and well
fitted, and that the bolt had been
securely thrown from the inside.
Heath, however, was still sus-
picious, and, grasping the doorknob,
he tugged at it violently. But the
door held firmly.
At length he threw the bolthandle
to vertical position and opened the
door.
Vance was standing in the court,
placidly smoking and inspecting the
nrickwork of the alley wall.
II say, Markham" he remarked,
here's curious thing. This wall,
d. We know, must be very old. 1t
wasn't built in these latter days of
breathless efficiency.
1.-THE beauty loving mason who
erected it laid the bricks In Flemish
bond instead of the Running or
Stretcher-bond of our own restless
age.
"And up there a bit"-he pointed
toward the rear yard-"iS a Row
lock and Checkerboard pattern.
VERY neat and very pretty-more
pleasing even than the popular
English Cross bond. And the NOR
tar joints are all V-tooled.
Fancy!"
Markham was Tuning.
Damn it, Vance,! I'm not build
ing brick walls. What I want to
know is how you got out here and
left the door bolted on the inside"
ooh, that!" Vance crushed out
his cigaret and re-entered the build
ing.
st merely made use Of a bit Of
clever criminal mechanism. It's
very simple, like all truly effective
applianceS-oh, simple beyond words
I blush at its simplicity. 4.
Observed"
He took from his pocket a tiny
pair Of tweezers to the end of which
was tied a piece of purple twine
about four feet long.
Placing the tweezers over the YER
tical bolthandle, he turned them at
very slight angle to the left and
then ran the Irvine under the door
so that about a foot of it projected
over the sill. Stepping into the
court, he closed the door.
The tweezers still held the bolt
handle as a wise, and the string ex-
tended straight to the floor and
disappeared under the door into the
court.

ATTACKS WOMAN, FLEES
Unidentified Man Frightened Away
by Victims Screams.

Squads Of police failed to find the
man who attacked Miss Effie Lucas,
43 Frank ST., while she was walking
by an alley near Howard Ave. and
Lee ST, Monday night.
Miss Lucas told police that she
had gotten off of a West Indianapo-
lis street car and, when she reached
the alley, man, wearing a conduc-
tors cap, grabbed her, struck her
several times and dragged her down
the alley about thirty feet. She
said she screamed and the man fled.
She said she believed he had gotten
off the same car and followed her
to the alley.

THE STORY THUS FAR

Margaret OdeII is found strangled.
SkeePs finger prints are found In the
been hiding in a closet while the stran-
gIer did his work. The thing that battles
police is the side door to the alley, which
had been bOlted on the inside the night
the morning. Mannlx, DR.. Lindquist and
CIeaver all lie about their whereabouts
the night of the murder. SpotswOode,
back to her door at the sound OF a
scream, but had been reassured that
everything was all right. Then Skeel is
to tell who murdered the girl. Heath
arrests Jessup, but Vance promises to
demonstrate how Skeel could have en-
tered and left through the side door and
left it bOIted on the inside.

CHIPPEWA INDIANS
ASK PAYMENT OF 500.

Advocates of the 500 per capita
payment this winter to the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota, will call upon
representatives in the house and SEN
ate at Washington to support meas
ureS noy being considered by special
house and senate committees which
would make the payment from the
tribal funds an established law, John
Arten, Superior, Chippewa Indian
and one of the leaders in the Indian
cause in this district, states
Despite the claims advanced by
the Indian bureau at Washington
that it adequately provides for the
Chippewas of Minnesota during the
winter season, it is common know
ledge that they never have done so
and that the small ration dole al
lotted to some of the more needy
Indians is far from adequate to care
for the most urgent needs of these
people during the cold months" Mr..
Arten said.

CATHOLIC GIRLS STUDY CLUB
HAVE INTERESTING MEETING

At the regular meeting of the Cath
Ollie Girls Study Club held Wednes-
day evening at the Community Cent
er, Miss leila Richter appeared as
the principal speaker on the even
ing's program.
AS fitting prelude to Miss Rich
ter'S talk on the cathedralS of Eur
ope, Miss Faith Walsh presented a
very interesting discussion on Art in
the Catholic church, pointing out
especially the use of pictures and
statues and giving them their proper
place and citing their relative value
in the ceremonies and practices of
the church.
Art cannot be separated from the
authors of art. In view of this fact
the life of one of the greatest artists,
Michael Angelo, was ably discussed
his extensive contribution to the world
of art, interest in the facts of his life
grew under the carefully prepared
paper rear by Miss Halloran.
Europe abounds in Cathedrals, /"
was the information contributed by
Miss Richter as she launched out on
her interesting presentation of
cathedrals The speaker told of the
magnificent eathedrals and churches
which have been set up, the erection
of which caused the minds and souls
of men to be charged with lofty
ideals, sacred aspirations, and new
love of beauty. AS the story grew the
listeners could visualize the lofty tow
ers fiinging themselves heavenward in
praise and joy, an outward and visible
sign of an inward and spiritual grace
which governed the thoughts of the
artists To augment and to empha-
size the information many pictures of
the mighty cathedrals were passed
out to be enjoyed and appreciated
The list of the cathedrals described
included those Of Antwerp, Cologne
Milan, Florence, Venice and Rome.

AN AMERICAN THOUGHT HE
WAS THE LOST DAUPHIN."

One of the most famous unsolved
mysteries of all time is that of the
little Lost Dauphin" of France, the
son of Louis XVI, who disappeared
during the French Revolution. He
might have been forgotten had it not
been for the fact that for many years
afterward there appeared regularly
men who claimed that they were the
lost prince, but who were invariably
proved to be imposters.
Strange as it may seem, one of
these claimants was an American, and
due to his ACTIVITY in New York and
Wisconsin, both of those states are
closely connected with the Lost
Daupnin" mystery. ii you would
know about this romantic mystery
and the part which this American
had in it, be sure to read the illus
trated feature article, The Lost
Dauphin Mystery" by Elmo Scott
Watson, in this issue of The Miner.

Several of UneSe measures may
lose out in committee and unless we
