Draught. She had taken some, and
thought it would help me.
"And I want to say that it is
certainly good medicine. I have
taken it for constipation, colds, or
anything where good laxative was
needed, and it has never failed to
help me.
"It seems to cleanse the system
and keeps me in good shape. I
am glad to recommend it to my
friends. After using it for thirty
years, it seems to do me as much
good now as it did when took my

REGISTRATION
FIGHT Renewed
Bill Fails Twice in Senate;
Ask Reconsideration.

Friends of voter registration were
preparing today to give the house
bill, which failed twice in the senate
Thursday, another chance at pas
sage.
Whether a third poll is possible
will rest with the Interpretation OF
senate rule on reconsideration.

Thursday morning the bill was
called back on motion for reconsid-
Grafton in the afternoon and the
performance was repeated. Each
time "a favorable votes were cast,
two less than the minimum required
for passage.
Proponents contend that the bill
is still on third reading and can be
called down in regular order.
The bill is backed by the Indiana
League of Women Voters. Mrs.
Walter S. Greenough, Indianapolis;
Mrs. Charles Arthur Carlisle, South
Bend, of the league, and Mrs. J.
w. Moore, Indiana Federation of
Women's Clubs, issued a statement
urging that the bill be given an
other chance and not be discarded
by any legislative tricks.
Republican state committee SEN
atorial spokesman opposed the
measure from the floor, basing their
opposition on the ground of expense.
Another league backed bill was
indefinitely postponed. 1t provided
for primary candidates to group to-
gether and employ watchers at the
polls.
A house bill to license and ex-

LOSE REINFORCEMENT
Bill to Redistriet Legislature Is
Withdrawn.


In a deluge of Withdrawals, last
hope for legislative reapportionment
in the current session of the legis-
lature disappeared Thursday.
Among the fifteen bills withdrawn
in the house of representatives by
members seeing no hope for their
measures, was the bill introduced
Feb. 8 by Representative John w.
Scott of Gary providing for reap
portionrnent.
The 1927 legislature ignored the
constitutional requirement for legis-
lative reapportionment in that year
and SCOTS action defers any pos
sibility of action in this direction
before the session of 1881.

Thu following data has been COM
piled regarding Macbeth"
One of the most important
theatrical events of the Indianapolis
season will undoubtedly be the out
standing educational event in
theatrirals.
"Macbea' . with the settings de-
signed by Gordon Craig, and With
an all-star cast headed by Florence
Reed, Lyn Harding and William
Farnum, has been booked for the
-4urat for three nights beginning
Thursday, March 81, with a Satur-
day matinee.
This is the production which re-

performances consecutively at the

CITY. and which packed the immense
Auditorium, Chicago, for three
weeks. Criticisms have been unan~
imous in it's favor.
In recent years Macbeth" has
been seen only with repertoire COM
panies. The Gordon Craig Mac
beth" on the contrary, stands on It's
own merit and enlists the services
of nearly 100 people in support OF
the thirty speaking roles. The pro-
duction is enormous, comparable
only with 1.-THE Miracle" done by
Max Reinhardt who, incidentally Is
disciple of Craig.
OF great interest to the teaching
fraternity is the fact that this Mac
beth" is being shown only in the
largest of auditoriunls where II can
be properly displayed on immense
stages and where the seating Ca
pacity warrants reductions in price
scales. In Indianapolis, the prices
will range from 81 to So for all per-
formances. There will be further
reductions for groups or twenty-five
or more who will be enabled to Sc
cure a so cent reduction on the So
and $3.50 seats and a Is cent de-
crease in the So and $3.50 seats.
This brings the price down to about
ore-half of the prices charged dur
ing the New York run.
The Gordon Craig assignment has
been carried out by Douglas Ross,
former dramatic coach at Yale, who

Franklins, the Jeffersons and the Adamses that

apporoning the vote But the founding fathers also
had the idea that wealth should not be the only
power in government.
Men, and the personal rights OF men, interests
which should not be purely industrial and even ideas

of its size, wealth population, two senator's

like Norris and La Toilette that the senate plan was
created. The fact that the senate has members who
are blocking the tariff grab OF the Grndys shows that
the plan was a good one.

calls the present 1.-THE Age Of Sci
ence and Democracy"
Science and democracy have been
the two basic forces of the eight
zenith and nineteenth centuries" he
writes. "It can be argued that OF
the two, science was the more fun
damental. Perhaps, when a fuller
perspective is possible, the present
era will be regarded as the age of
science"
Writing of the rise of modern SCI
ence, he says:
Pure science inspired the intel
lectual growth of this age. Applied
science erected its physical back
ground.
Both ideas and economic facts
we're potent forces, and, despite the
contemporary tendency to stress
the supremacy of economic forces,
no means of weighing the two ele-
ments are known.

beat down the prevailing impression
that here was an aniable fat man
without an enemy in the world.
My nameless correspondent wrote:
"Mr. Negro Lover Broun forgets
that a certain house in Connecticut
is burnable whether occupied or not.
Also, it has no bullet-proof win
dows, either"
He seemed to be agitated over
the contention of this column that
it would be monstrous for New
York university to keep David My
ers out of the game against Georgia.
Indeed, he was so agitated that
much of his letter by no means
could be printed.
Only one phase Of the threat
disturbs me, and that can be adj
justed easily. If there is any burn
ing to be done, I hope my we'll

gence to pick the right house.

Common Cold Must Run It's Course

lister of health ever is likely to risk
his position or his parts by bring
ing them into force.
A common cold is essentially an
attack of germs on damaged mu-
cous membranes. The membranes
may be damaged by heat, by cold,
by dust or by a dozen other factors.
The germs that do the attacking
may vary in virulence according to
the person from whom they come.
In view of the present status OF
our knowledge of cold, it is rea-
sonable to suggest that wisdom de-
mands aiding the body in every way
possible to overcome the bacteria.
A body that is resting, with the
bowels moving freely, using the
right food and getting plenty OF
fresh air and sunlight is more like
ly to overcome germs than one that
is fatigued and suffering with re-
peated attacks on the mucous mem
brane by bad environment.

This campaign is being carried on so that Mue-

Americans. He wants to make it certain that they
will rally to Italys assistance in event of war In
short. Mussolini desires to maintain great recruit
