and electric fans on 1872. There were
radios on 1873 Of the farms visited.
When asked what their choice
would be il service was extended,
electric refrigeration was desired by
40 per cent, leading all other classes.
The survey report suggests that q
special study be made Of rural re-

storing farm poducts preliminary to

Almost none Of the farms, except
those classified as live stock had
beef cattle, but So per cent had dairy
cows, 81 per cen chickens and AZ
per cent hogs, a showing far better
than the average Texas farms.

tent of electrical service TO farmers
from central power stations. A
study Of types Of farming in connec-

Rowland, who returned recently
from England. stressed the incon-

big naval program and expressed
the hope that the Indiana Council
on International Relations, together
with the press, might help to dis
pei the impression that there must
be another war.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-Arrest
of two more police captains who
are alleged to have made fortunes
by accepting brides from bootleggers
and saloon keepers was promised
today by District Attorney John
Monaghan.
Monaghan refused to reveal the
names of the men who would be
caught in his investigation of vice

ords had been found proving that
one had bank deposits and securi-
ties totalling $4,000 while another
had assets of $4,000.
The district attorney said one cap
tain had withdrawn his $4,000 from
banks, presumably because the
grand jury investigation had turned
in his direction.
Tuesday the first direct testimony
concerning tributes laid by police
upon disorderly houses was brought
out in a hearing before Judge Ed

that one house paid 1920 week to
police. 1t was estimated that there
were fifty houses in that district,
all of which bribed patrolmen.
The woman said she paid three
members of the vice squad each

Sanders and Coupal visited Mrs.

COAL STOCKS
CITY Cellars
Memories of 1927 Autumn
Cold Wave Spur Many
Purchasers.
PRICES CHANGE LITTLE
Plenty of Fuel on Hand,
Majority of Dealers
Assure Patrons.

King Winter isn't going to swoop
on indianapolis by surprise this
year.
Rather is he going to be greeted
by large number of well-stocked
cellars-coal cellars.
For with memories of last years
sudden cold snap that descended
with many cellars empty, Indian
apolis householders are doing their
fuel shopping early.
Coal dealers throughout the city
report rushing business for the
last two weeks, and scores of car
loads of fuel, Pocahontas, Virginia
lump, Kentucky lump and Indiana
coal, are finding their way into In
dianapolis cellars daily.
Prices are virtually the same now
as they were this time last year,
when the winters price peak was
hit.
The highest price charged here for
Pocahontas is 50; West Virginia, 81;
Kentucky lump, $3.50, and Indiana,
$3.50. Little price changes is expected
in the near future by local dealers,
who believe if prices do shift either
way, the change will affect only Po-
cahontas.
Last seasons price peak came
Sept. l and continued until Oct. Is.
1t was caused by the sudden cold
wave which ended in time to send
prices down long enough to permit
householders to stock up for the
winter.
Although it was feared for time
that the general coal strike would
cause a big shortage, it has done
nothing of the kind, dealers say, and
there is plenty of COAL on hand.

and her lashes long and darker
than her hair.
Her nose is small and straight,
and her little mouth parts into a
gracious smile more often than not
and shows even rows OF small
pearl-like teeth.
Her skin is soft and creamy in
coloring. 1t is skin not as white
as the Gainsborough blonde-not as
peach-ike in tone as the Greuze
brunei.
With her very light hair, it calls
for light rachel powder and me-
dunn shade of raspberry rouge.
This dainty type of blonde may
use little more rouge than the
Willowy blonde. For her charm de-
ponds upon activity rather than re-
pose. Her lip rouge should be ap-
piled very judiciously.
No matter what shade of 1ip-rouge
a girl uses, if she applies it without
working it IN deity with her fin
ger-tips to eliminate the hard out
lines, it destroys the beauty of her
mouth instead of accentuating it.
Miss Bergman wears her blonde
hair in a Dutch cut, softly waved
and combed backward to partially
reveal the ear.
Girls of this type who have long
hair may simulate this effect and
catch the long ends in a coil-effect,
carefully pinned at the nape of the
neck, to retain youthful contour.
White, flesh and blue are pref
tiest for evening wear on this Fra
gonarde blonde. Street shades are
blues, soft greens, beige black and
white and softer browns.
While it is natural assumption
that she may wear ruff1es and rib
bons, because she is little she must
be careful not to load herself with
too much ornamentation. It de-
stroys the illusion of her dainti-

Times Staff Corresnondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Reports
that Senator George w. Norris Of
Nebraska will speak for Governor
Alfred E. Smith, enabled Norris to-
day to re-emphasize his belief that
the reelection of progressive sena-
tors is as important as the presi-
dency. He did not specifically deny
the reports.
He leaves tonight for Rochester,
Mimi, where on Friday night he
will open four-day tour of Mimi
esota in behalf of Senator Henrik
Shipstead. From there Norris will
go to North Dakota for Senator
Frazier, to Montana for Senator
Wheeler, and to Washington for
Senator G. c. Dill, returning to
Nebraska to aid Senator Howell.
It am going to discuss water
power, farm relief and the foreign
problems on which these progressive
senators have taken definite
stand. and 1 am going to commend
them for it and plead with the peo-
pie to remember them on election
day." said Norris.
when Hoover made his accept
ance speech, I said I didn't like it,
and I didn't think he covered any
thing. He was silent on what be-
lieved to be the important things.
When Smith spoke at Omaha and
Denver on water power and farm
relief, I praised him in both in
stances. also praised Smith for
his attitude on Nicaragua.
Prom what I have said, it seems
perfectly plain and fair you would
draw the conclusion that Smith on
farm relief, water power and foreign
comes a great deal nearer
meeting the progressive idea than
Hoover does"
