PETERSBURG, Ind, Jan. ia
petition to the general assembly
that legislation be enacted to pro-
tect lowland farmers against flood
waters is being prepared by resi-
dents of the White river bottoms
west of here.
The farmers explain that as more
timber is cut off each year floods
make bottom farming" more haz-
ardous, and less profitable and point
out that seven suits have been filed
in Pike circuit court asking FORE
closure on Patoka river bottoms, be-
cause landowners have refused to
pay bonds assessed against them

BUSY MOVIES
DELAY TRIAL OF
ALMA RUBENS
Actress Smiles, Judge
SCoWlS at Second
Continuance.

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 18.-
Busy Hollywood is making it diff
cult to bring Alma Rubens to trial
for disturbing the peace with al
legedly wild and boisterous parties
at her home in the screen colony.
Two week. ago, when Miss Rubens'
trial by jury first was scheduled
to get underway, the pretty actress
arrived in court forty-fve minutes
late. She found the trial had been
postponed and was forced to put
up $500 bond for her appearance.
Defense Delays Case
Thursday Miss Rubens was in
advance of the hour set for her case.
The courtroom and corridors were
packed. The judge was on time.
So was the jury.
But when Judge Northrup called
the case he learned that Rita
Carewe, her husband; Leroy Mason,
and Mr.. and Mrs. FINS Fox, mem
bers of the screen colony, who are
listed as prosecution witnesses, had
not put in appearance. 1t was said
they were unable to leave their
work.
Judge Northrup visibly was pro-
voked. Miss Rubens smiled her
lovliest, for this time it was the
prosecution and not the defendant
who was delaying the trial. Finally,
Judge Northrup ordered the case
reset for trial Feb. 5.
Denies all Charges
Charges were brought against Miss
Rubens by Mrs. M. Uhl, owner of
the bungalow court in which Miss
Rubens resides. Mrs. Uhl said the
actress used profane language,
prowled about the yard with a flash
light, peering into windows and that
on one occasion Miss Rubens threat
ened to beat her
The defendant has denied all
charges, explaining that her flash
light expedition was in search of
a gadget which dropped off the
gladiator and fell out the window.

There Isn't Any Law For Love,
Squire Gender Says

After 999 years, more or less, Of
hearing the axiom "All is fair in love
and war;" W. A, Gender, justice Of
the peace, was stunped the other day
in his legal capacity, when some
woman, accompanied by her husband
and daughter, entered his office and
inquired, whats the law for love ?"
and upon seeing the amused, sur
prised, puzzled, and inquisitive eX-
preston, added, COR AIM there any ,"
The inquiry was the outcome Of a
little difficulty between two lovers,
one being the daughter of the woman
who asked the question. Some Apol-
10 had promised to marry her, it was
said, but shortly afterwards, a gay
young lady Lochinvar got the jump
on her, and as for the lady in wait
ing, well, it was just too bad,
that's all, just too bad. (Also too
late.)
But maybe it won't be, after all,
because Squire Gender sent her down
to the States attorney, who, he said,
takes care of all suits for breach of
promise.

HOMELESS FOLKS

AS people gather in their conaforta-
BILE homes, surrounded with the well
being that American life gives them,
they can we'll give a thought to the
great number of wanderers who have
no homes. Thanksgiving and Christ
mas are holidays when philanthropic
organizations gather companies Of
these folks together and give them
one square meal. 1t is a kindly act
that may have results.
There is a great company of semi
wanderers, more or less down and out,
who are not satisfied to locate in one
spot. Their services are not very val
liable. They drift from one place to
the next, always hoping that the next
town will give them some more hope
full chance.
Then there is the bottom layer of
absolute tramps and Migrants, men
with literally no place to lay their
heads, who subsist by beggary or the
most irregular work, hopeless and
helpless creatures, not capable of
holding down any regular job.
What can be done for all these IL
regular people, without means of sup
port and commonly without the
knowledge of skilled trades, or who
lack industry and concentration?
Some will say that it does no good to
assist them by charity, that when you
help them once they become all the
more dependent.
Yet unpromisjng assuch people look,
one can never be quite sure what is in
the heart of any man. His vagrancy
may be due to run of hard luck, one
misfortune after another. Plenty Of
cases can be found of seemingly unre-
liable men who turned from their idle
ways and made good 1t is the glory
of many charitable organizations and
people, that undismayed by the num-
Der of unworthy folks, they yet keep
doing their kind acts, and keep find
ing seemingly down and out people
who are not really so, and who with
one more chance have turned from
their wanderlust ways to reliable in
dustry
