Washington, executive secretary Of the
American Association of State Highway
Oficials, who reported to the associa-

1t must be true in the automotive in

nothing Is so constant as change. But

considerable change, let us have more

PRINCESS. MARY
is SO TODAY
Daughter of England's
Ruler Celebrates.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, April 25.--The peak of
a week of anniversaries was reached
today when Princess Mary, Lady
Hardwood, and only daughter of the
king and queen of England, cele-
brated her thirty-thir birthday,
Baby Princess Elizabeth, daughter
of the duke and duchess Of York
started the ball rolling with fourth
birthday last Monday, while her
parents celebrate the seventh ami
versary Of their wedding tomorrow.
While there was rejoicing in the
Hardwood family today because
''Mummie." as Princess Mary'S two
small sons, George and Gerald, call
her, has a "birfday." there was sor-
rowing in many families through
out the country, for today is also
Gallipoli day.
Fifteen years ago British troops
made that glorious but vain at
tempt to land at GallipoH on the
shores of the Dardanella straits.
Some of the heaviest losses of the
whole campaign in the Near East
were sustained by the British that
day as the troops we're landed from
roOp-carriers under a mercileSs
hail of Turkish gunf1re from the
heights above.

COPS. TRIANGLE
FORM CAST IN
MURDER HOAX
Jealous Wife InventS Tale
in Wages Plot, but All
Ends Well.

Barriers Broken" might have
been the title of a farce tragedy
enacted with police as members Of
the cast Thursday.
Mrs. Orena Chapman, %, Of sci
East Ohio street, who told former
employer she had killed a woman
she found with her husband; the
husband, Henry Chapman, 80, and
Miss Florence Moody, 81, of 518 East
Ohio street, were other members of
the cast.
Traced, Mrs. Chapman was ar
rested and told police she invented
the murder story in an effort to get
her wages from the employer. She
was jealous of the husband, how
ever, and police arrested him on
vagrancy charges.
Meanwhile, not satisfied that MUIR
der had not been done, police
searched for the woman in the case.
Miss Moody, learning of the case,
called police headquarters to learn
details. While police talked to her,
the call was traced and police ar
rested her in the telephone booth
from which she was talking on
vagrancy charges.
Arrest of the three wiped away
Jealousy, police say, and the trio
whcn released, left police station to-
gether.

AT STARK:
CALLED POLITICIAN
Waited Until Primary Eve
to Smash Loan Sharks
Attorney Says.

Prosecutor JudSon T. Stark wait
ed until the eve of the primary cleo
ton before taking action against
loan sharks" charged Ernest Owens,
Indianapolis attorney, in an address
at Pheger's hall.
1.-THE record speaks for itself,
answering Stark'S proteStationS on
every platform in Marion county
that he is not politician" said
Owens.
1.-The Indianapolis Better Business
Bureau had been active for months
in working up these cases against
the loan sharks and securing the
evidence necessary for the return
of indictments.
Weeks ago they brought many
citizens, who had been victimized.
before the prosecutor in an effort
to get him to act.
For three months they were uYt-
able to get action from the: prose-
cutor's office until, on the eve Of
the primary, Stark takes action.
Does this not smack of a bid for
votes, coming at this timer"
Owens also declared that although
it should be the duty of every pub
lie servant to keep down the cost of
conducting public business, Stark
during the last session Of legislature
and in the first month of his incum-
bency of the office attempted to
have one of the Marion county SEN
atorS introduce a bill to increase the
salary of the prosecutor from $500
to $4,000, he said.

100000 Taxes Saved

By Itn eS SD6clnt
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The
aviation industry saves approximate
ly 100000 a year as the result of
the action of thirty-two states and
the District of Columbia in either
exempting civil and commercial fiji
ers from payment of the gasoline
tax or refunding the amount, &C
cording to the air travel division
of the American Automobile Asso-
citation.
The A. A. A. estimate is based on
a consumption of 2O,576,468 gallons
of gasoline in civil and commercial
flying in 1929, and an average gas
tax rate for the country of .0322
cents per gallon, as well as the fact
that the heaviest aircraft operations
are in the states which exempt or
refund the tax.
