ANSWER PAVING SUIT
Seek to Restrain Shelby
Street Improvement.

Shelby street property owners
have no legitimate kick" on the
assessments for the paving OF En-
plish avenue from Southeastern ave-
me to Brookville road, John G. NC
Closkey, works board member, SAID
today.
Property owners have filed suit
to restrain the city from paving
the section which formerly was IN
tended for the street car tracks.
The center section was reserved for
the Indianapolis Street Railway
tracks but they have abandoned the
plan of installing a line on that
avenue.
THE county constructed the pave
ment without any cost to the prop
erty owners. The city agreed to
assume one-third of the expense OF
the contemplated improvement,
McCloskey said.
cat present the street Is not
drained and the paved strips on the
outside will be useless in a couple
years if something isn't done right
away" McCloskey declared.

CURED to stamp Barrett bonds

them in the order filed, They bear

STUDENT, BITTEN BY
RABIES DOG, FOUND

Gordon Duncan, Vanderbilt uni
versity student of Nashville, Tenn,
probably owed his life today to
efforts of the state board of health
and publicity by newspapers and
press associations.
Bitten by a mad dog at Edinburg,
Ind, while soliciting magazine sub
scriptions last week, Duncan only
treated the wound with iodine. Later
analysis of the dogs brain at the
health board disclosed it had rabies.
While newspapers and wire asso-
Citations aided in the search for
Duncan to inform him of the neces-
sity of taking Pasteur treatments
to save his life. he was located at
Toledo Tuesday by Professor B. E.
Young of the Indiana university
faculty. Dispatches said Duncan
began the anti-rabies treatment at
Toledo at once.

WHOLESOME Diet
AID TO HEALTH
A Little Sugar Helps Us En-
Joy the Foods We Need

The public should know the truths
about food and diet as they are re-
lated to health.
The latest medical opinion en-
phasizes that we need varied foods
and balanced foods, including milk,
cereals, vegetables, fruits and
meats. It isn't enough to eat one or
two kinds of foods, and it isn't wise
to eliminate any important food
from the diet.
AS every woman responsible TOT
feeding a household knows, taste ia
the controlling factor in getting
women, children or men to eat foods
that are sufficiently varied. This Is
exactly where sugar comes into the
picture, for, as has been pointed
out, sugar is the greatest condi-
mental food in the world. A little
sugar develops the flavors of health
full cereals. A sprinkling Of sugar
makes currants, blackberTies and
other fresh fruits highly enjoyable
A group of women cooking ex-
perts recently uncovered the old
secret that a dash of sugar in vege-
tables while they are cooking brings
out new and enjoyable flavors. Good
cooks know how to use little sugar
to develop the fiavors of roasts and
other delectable meat dishes. Cor
rect amounts of sugar used in milk
desserts help children and adults
eat enough milk. The most enjoy
able meal is the one that is topped
off with stewed fruit, ice cream,
cake or candy desserts.
Help adults and children to eat
varied foods. A bit of sweet makes
the meal complete. The Sugar

Abandon Small Forts

2. Possible abolition Of the caval-
n and coast artillery branches, now
regarded by some persons as obso-
lescent
3. Abandonment Of many small
forts in the interior, originally built
for Indian warfare
The Presidents formal statement
announcing the economy move, and
citing the fact that the United
States now has the largest military
budget of any nation in the world,
suggests in general terms considera-
ton of the foregoing measures.
The mission Of the board Of Of
hcers was said to be "tO consider our
whole army program. to see what
services and other OUTLAWS have be-
come obsolete through advancement
of science and war methods, and
what development programs can be
well spread over longer periods in

PLAN LAST STAND
TO REGAIN LANDS
American indians Call Coun-
Gil in July to Press Long,
Standing Claims.
BY the Associated Press.


RAPID CITY, S. Oak, June 26.-The
American Indian is making last stand
in his battle to obtain land from which
he was driven by the frontiersmen.
A great council has been called here
this Summer to seek congressional rec
ignition of the long pending claims
and the elder chiefs feel that this may
be the last large gathering. The
younger generation, they say, is being
assimilated by white culture. and II
this cannot obtain recognition of the
once united tribes the cause may be
lost forever.
The council meets July 80 to August
2. The progress of two decades will
be reversed by the Indians, who will
attend the council in native regalia
painted and adorned with treasured
trophies; live in buffalo hide tepees and
revert for four days to the primitive
life of their ancestors.
The eight leading chiefs of the larger
tribes have ruled that the general coun-
Gil is to be a serious protest against
white encroachment not show event
Members of what might be called
the councils executive committee have
predicted that Indian regalia which few
white men have seen viii be worn at
the protest gathering.
The Rapid City Chamber of Com
merce has provided q camping ground
and rations.
Outdoor sessions OF the council win
be during the mornings, with Indian
r0deos in the afternoons. Invited
guests include Vice President Curtis,
himself of Indian blood, and former
President Coolidge, who was adopted
by one of the council tribes during his
1927 vacation in the Black Hills.

JACKSON, Miss, June 26.-Unre-

at the White House of the wife of
Oscar De Priest, Negro Representative

by the Mississippi State Senate in a
resolution unanimously adopted. The
resolution, calling ON Presidefs: syoover
to give careful and thoughtful uaas-
sideration to the necessity of the pres
ervation of the racial integrity of the
white race" was then sent to the House
of Representatives. The Senate then
brushed aside two substitutes seeking
to soften the tone of the resolution,
which was declared adopted by a unan-
imous vote, after Senator H. w. Brad
show of Rankin County, a Baptist
minister, who voted against it in the
first roll call. had changed his vote.
The incident is the revival of a
thing we settled in the South at the
end of the reconstruction days" said
Senator w. B. Roberts of Rosedale.

BE it resolved by the Senate of the
State of Mississippi, the House of Rep
resentatives concurring, as follows, to
wit: Whereas, on the 14th day of
Negro Congressman from the State of
Illinois. was entertained at a formal

there was also present as guests white

Whereas. it is of supreme impor-
lance to the people, not only of the
South. but the entire United States of
America, that the racial integrity of
the white race be preserved; and
Whereas, such an exhibition of So
cial equality at the White House tends
to destroy such racial integrity;
Nov, therefore, we do unreservedly
disapprove such action above set forth
and appeal to Presiden Hoover that
he give careful and thoughtful con-
sideration to the necessity of the pres
ervation of such racial integrity"
