Serve Public
In opening his inaugural. Gov.
Allen advised members of the legis-
lature against mistaking the loud
voice of the minority" for the opin-
ion of the majority. ITO ignore pub
lie sentiment is insxecusable. re-
gardless of how lofty the motive.
Mistaking the sentiments of a few
for public opinion is danger
against which We cannot too strongly
entrench ourselves.
"Skillful propagandists have often
promoted pet measures under the
guise of public opinion. Every legis-
lative session reveals attempts in this
direction. Occasionally they succeed.
Such practices are an imposition on
our public men, and a fraud on the
people. 1t is our first duty accurately
to determine the true state OF pub
lie opinion. and our next duty to re-
spond to 1t In an appropriate man
ner. Legislation which cannot muster
public support represents wasted
effort"

DANCE music of the old southern

of entertainment and novelty eff
fects are to be the features of the
Indiana roof for a period of two
weeks beginning tonight.

halls from Nashville, Tenn, where
the boys were originally all students
at the Vanderbilt anniversary. The
lure of a musical career was far
stronger than that of calcular and
geometry and they abandoned their
books for horns and drums.
The public today is looking for
entertainment and novelty along
with good dance music. The modern
dance band must sing as well as
play. The men must play different
instruments and thereby furnish
combinations and novelty effects.
For two years the Smith-Mc-
Dowell orchestra was the feature of
the new Andrew jackson Hotel at
Nashville. They then went to
Florida, later to New York, thence
to Denver and are now to appear at
the Indiana roof.

prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible:
And We shall be brought before governors
and kings for my sake, for a testimony
against them and the Gentiles. But when
they deliver you up. take no thought hog,
or what We shall speak; for it shall. be
given you in that same hour what We
shah speak. For it is not We that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father which speak
eth in you.-datt. 10: 1920.
The Lesson Sermon also includes
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Sci
.ence and Health, With Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
Science reveals the possibility OF achiev-
ing all good. and sets mortals at work to
discover what God has already done; but
distrust of ones ability to gain the good
ness desired and to bring out better and
higher results. often hampers the trial Of
ones wings. and ensures failure at the OUT

0. K. OF SENATE
ON ARMORY QUIZ
AWAITED TODAY
Attempts of CIayCombe to
Kill Measure Are
ThWarted.

Concurrence OF the senate in the
amendment made by the Indiana
house of representative to the bill
authorizing the state board of &C
counts ofnvestigate the construc-
ton of twenty three National Guard
armories under "tlle closed corpora
tion-coSt plus" plan of the Ostrom
Realty Company and its parent, the
Peoples State Bankk, was expected
today.
Although efforts to kill and then
hamstring the bill by Representa-
tives Lloyd D. Claycombe and James
Lowry of Indianapolis failed, the
house, upon advice that Governor
Harry G. Leslie would pay the probe
costs out of his contingency fund,
eliminating the section appropriate
ing $4,000 for the two years inves-
tigation, before passing the bill by
vote of SO to 1 under suspension
of the rules Friday afternoon.
Forced to Report
Not content with endeavoring to
xii 1.-The bill in committee by not
reporting it until forced to by Rep
resentatives E. NJ Hawkins, John
w. Scott, Philip Lowenthal and E.
E. McGriff, an attempt to nullify
the provision was made by Clay
conbe when he reported the bill
after the Governor had been forced
to demand that such action be
taken.
Claycombe's amendment would
have limited the scope of the in
Yetsigation and would have re-
moved the clause making it man
datory upon the board of accounts
to make the probe.
Lowry assumed the CIayconbe
role in the afternoon when the bill
was handed down for second read
ing and Hawkins proposed its pass
age under suspension of the rules.
Offers Amendments
He handed up two amendments
one that would limit the probe of
the armory rental contracts of 1926.
1927 and 1928; and the other would
force a report on May /, 1929 giving
the investigatory body just one
month to look into more than ST.
500,000,000 of contracts,
Lowry attempted to explain his
stand when called upon to vote, by
saying:
1.-THE bonds issued for armory con-
struction will suffer in value if the
investigation is dragged out by the
shadow cast upon their values by
the draWn-out investigation and it
is my intention to shorten he period
of investigation by these amend
ments.
Charging that the armory probe
"was pacifist movement to ham
string the guard" C1aycombe said:

most destroyed the market for these
armory bonds"

sPEcIAL pIsPATcH-ReIiable reports

SPECIAL DIsPATcH-Reliable reports
stated today that men high up in the shoe
industry were completely at loss to explain
how DIXIE SHOE STORES could sell their
new mems Spring shoes for as little as So.
Manufacturers have sent their "shoe snoop-
eEs" to DIXIE stores to buy shoes, and have
found that all DIXIE shoes are of the same
remarkably high quality. In fact, a newspaper
man overheard conversation in which promi-
nent factory head said that the new DIXIE
models for So we're the equal of any Sd shoe
he had ever seen.
What puzzles the shoe industry SO com
pletely is how DIXIE can sell shoes of such
high grade materials - with details of work
manship usually found only in high-prieed
shoes-for only SO.
