haired girl paced back and forth
in a cell block with her slayer
husband, advising him mot to talk. ;"
The girl is Mrs. Josephine Alger,

bank while Mrs. Alger waited in the

Mrs. Alger, authorities said, was
instrumental in retention OF Claude
Mcbride, Jennings county attorney,
to represent them in circuit court
here when their trial is held the
latter part of December.

Persons at the Jail said when
Alger was questioned Wednesday
and Thursday, his wife shook her
head and whispered to him. Alger
refused to talk.
State police are contemplating
interviewing Alger again within a
few DAYS and declared that several
times earlier in the week, he was
ready ito break" but his wife in
terfered.

of the old jail here, are allowed the
freedom of the twenty-foot square

.AIRPLANE WITH
VERTICAL RISE
PRIESTS WORK
Wanatah Pastor Employs
Radical Departure from
Present Type.
IDEA CALLED PRACTICAL
Ten PropeIIers Along Wings
at Side of Body Among
Features.
BIZ Tim es Specidl

BIZ Times Special
WANATAH, Ind, Nov. 15.-Unlted
States and Canadian patent rights
have been granted the Rev. David
l.. Faurtoe, pastor of the Sacred
Heart Catholic church here, on
new type of airplane which 1t is
claimed can rise vertically and in
corporates a number of revolution
airy changes.
Outstanding among features OF
the new plane is the propellors.
There will be ten of them, each
somewhat on the lines Of the old
fashion paddle wheel of river steam
boats. Each propeller will have four
blades. These are mounted in cyl
inders and are adjustable.
The inventor declares the present
propeller is only about 40 per cent
efficient, while claiming his design
will insure almost full efficiency.
Wings Along Body
In connection with placing of the
propellors, an entirely new idea in
wings has been developed. Instead
of being at right angles to the body
of the plane, the wings will run
along the side. Five propellors will
be mounted under each wing.
By means of an eccentric cam,
adjustable while the ship is in mo-
ton, the propellors can be set. to
give a downward thrust, enabling
the plane to rise vertically. The
usual tail design is intended for
the plane, consisting of rudder and
elevators.
In getting the plane off the
ground a control level would give
a downward thrust. Once in the
air, blades of some of the pro-
pellors, four or six, would be set
to pull the plane forward, while the
others would remain in position
to give a downward thrust. With
the plane moving forward, the fins
would extend only from the down.
ward side of the cylinder.
A series of tenders on each side
of the plane constitute another new
feature. They will be pivotally
pointed between propeller units.
Their main purposes will be to re-
duce resistance on the propellors
and providing additional lift.

ROuts Bandit
By Times Special

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. IS
William N. Marine, city coun-
cilman-e elect, had a unique ex-
perience with a bandit on state
Road 81, near HagerStown. He
was driving home from Rich
mond, where he had been called
because of the serious illness
of a relative when he saw an
automobile parked at an angle
across the road, too near for
him to swerve his car to avoid
a collision. The impact caused
a tire to burst. The report was
apparently mistaken by the
holdup man to be a shot from a
gun. With one side of his car
smashed, the bandit started the
motor and drove away.

PLYMOUTH, Ind, Nov. 15.-
Howard Mckee of Goshen was fined
$3.50 and costs in Marshall circuit
court here when he entered a guilty
plea to a charge of dynamiting a
dam across a stream leading from
Lake Maxinkuckee at Culver. A
similar charge against Donald Cress
and George Blender, also of Goshen,
was dismissed.
The three Goshen men were en-
ployed by DR.. A. A. Norris of Elk
hart, who asserted that he wished
to remove the dam because it
caused the water from the stream
to flow over his land, and also to
facilitate harvest of some marsh
hay. Other property owners in the
vicinity were greatly incensed over
the dynamiting, asserting their
land would be damaged by removal
of the dam.

dealing was permitting use of his

You should have known better

 Guarding From the Rear
 The change in the rules on guarding from the rear in an other good example of the failure of many officials to carry out the idea formulated by the rules com mittee. As pointed out in one of the rules, tthe mere fact that the defensive player is attempting tC play the ball does not justify him in placing one or both arms over his opponents shoulder,-if, by so doing, he causes personal contact" " This infraction is getting by re- peatedly without being called.
 Sailing
 Undoubtedly, it is the thought of the rules committee that pub lie opinion will curb stalling, that spectators will not pay to see ac- tionless games.
 This committee has done much to prevent stalling. Both the one yard rule and the bulldogging or freezing the ball rule have been contributed as an aid to curb stall ling.
 The one-yard rule declares that "as soon as an opponent takes a position close to Say within q yard of) the player with the ball, the latter must get the ball into play" To date, I have seen some of the nations best officials at work in the game, but l have not seen one of them call single play of this kind. But the infraction has occurred score of times.
 The rules committee has further decreed that there shall be no "bulldogging or freezing the ball. !" By this is meant that on jump ball, the player may tap and catch the ball, but if he then holds it until another held ball is de clared, he may not tap and catch it on the ensuing jump ball. This rule, if enforced, will aid in pre-, venting stalling.
 A New Mental Trick In most situations of life, "the old order changeth, giving place to new" I am wondering as I write, if, before the basketball season is too old, these changes in the rules will be made effective. Officials have been calling the plays a long time under the old rules, and they 1 seem a bit calloused to the pro gressive changes. Evidently, they

By FORREST c. (PHoG.) ALLEN (President National Basketball
Coaches AssocIation)

Shall we make more changes in the present rules?
 Basketball stan batter says: eCertainly not Why should we change them?"
 Basketball progre ssive says: 'sYes, because we need a more i'm proved game.'
 And so it has always been. But two extremes often develop hap py mean. Often, when a team pulls some questionable play, which is the product of the brain of its foxy coach, the referee, as we'll as dhe rival coaches, shout, Illegal"
 Well, show me a rule against . it." retorts the willy coach. The rule book seems not to contain one. And so it goes. Usually such plays are found to be just outside the precincts of ethical basketball and just within the rules. Consequently, change in the rules is supposed to be the only means of blocking these il legal pet" plays.
 The evolution of the game of basketball seems to .necessitate new offensive and new defensive measures The offense, usually, 'outspeeds the defense.
 The joint basketball rules com / mittee has made some excellent changes in the rules and these changes should aid the game. But they will not give us the help that they should unless the off. cials encountered in their interpre- tations and in their achievements of the rules.
 Dribbling
 le The dribble rule has caused more agitation than all of the eother combined This year the responsibility is put on the drib- bier. He must go clearly around his guard and avoid personal con tact. But in the dozen or so early collegiate games that l have witnessed this year, the officials are working the dribble rule exact ly as they worked it last year They are still allowing the drib- vbler to blow through and also to .body block while dribbling.
 I doubt if the advance of the season will find the average off cial of the game changing his last ,. years habits materially. But this

have developed habit-a reflex which will take time to replace. For instance, the play in this one yard rule is such a rapid one that the referees decision will require the development of a new mental track Old grooves are worn deep- ly; and the men in charge of the game are not apt to develop new eyes and new tracks for little while.
 Psychologically, in tim of stress and excitement, we revert to habits and actions of the past. Thus, do our splendid and we'll meaning officials overlook many of the new interpretations.
