Chicago Damaged
By Two Bombs

CHICAGO, Dec. 81. W.P-Two
bombings at almost the same in
slant in widely separated sections
Of Chicago last night caused more
than $4,000 damage. injured three
persons and gave impetus to po-
lice hunt for persistent gang of
sabotage experts.
Similarity of the explosions to
recent blasts which damaged two
OF the worlds largest buildings,
the Merchandise Mart and the
Furniture Mart, caused inveStiga-
tors to believe the same bonbers
were responsible.
One of last nights bombs demol-
ished the rear end of a restaurant
and the other shattered a wall OF
an apron factory. In both instances
windows in nearby buildings were
broken and residents for blocks
around were alarmed.

Radical Reform
Is Rolph's Plan
(Continued from page u

a separate administrative unit, gov-
erned by a board of trustees or q
school board, it was pointed out.
Although a limit on the property
tax which may be assessed for
school purposes is set by law, wan
ton extravaganza characterizes too
many districts, proponents CT the
plan declared, with not even the
county board of supervisors able to
interfere. provided the amount eX-
pended is within that authorized by
law
"A state commission controlling
school budgets would regulate such
expenditures. keeping them within
the bounds of reason" those inves-
tigating the plan have said. IN
addition it would consolidate dis
tricts obviously overlapping. The
same applies to highways.
When the three-cent gasoline
tax law was passed many thought
it meant a substantial reduction in
county road cost. On the contrary
there has been a steady increase.
The state government cannot boast
here, for it has made some very
foolish investments in roads
Considerable opposition to the
plan is expected, but the incoming
administration will probably not at
tempt TO force any legislation on
the subject. embarking first on a
program OF education. to show ad-
vantages OF the proposed idea to
the public.

HEAVY SALES
CAUSE STOCKS
TO MOVE DOWN

NEW YORK. Dec. 81. U.P)-
Heavy volume of sales for the pur-
pose of recording tax losses to-
gether with some necessary liquid
alton brought stocks down today.
The retreat was orderly in most
instances and the majority of loss
es were under two points. Electri-
cal equipment issues and a number
of special stocks made new lows
ior the year or longer and the 9TH
ers came close to their 1880 lows
which for the indusUrials were the
lowest since 1927 and the rails since
1925.
Among the new lows for the year
CT longer in stocks were Republic
Steel Issues, General Electric, West
inghouse Electric, American Rolling
Mill, Gillette, R. J. Reynolds To-
bacco. Western Union, Continental
Shares, j. I. Case. Montgomery
Ward, Safeway Stores. Declines in
the foregoing ranged to more than
two points.
Mercantile shares met selling to
the finish on expectation of sharp
ly reduced earnings despite rather
high volume of sales. Railroads
were affected by future poor Nov
ember earnings statements. Steel
shares reacted on expection OF re-
duced output during the next two
weeks.
Oil shares held fairly well fol-
lowing publication of a statement
by E. B. Reeser. president of the
American Petroleum Institute in
which he said: The oil industry
during 1880 overcame serious threats
and maintained a healthy condi-
ton basically which augurs pros

year.
In the last few minutes the local
fractions were given a whirl up

than four points. Further rumors
that the unification plan would
meet ratification were responsible
for this buying.
Utilities generally were down

Copper shares were mostly lower.
Anaconda. however, firmed up

Bloody Indian
Battle Recalled

ALLIANCE, Neb., Dec. 27. UP)-
Oldtimers are recalling that this is
the 40th anniversary OF one Of the
bloodiest Indian uprisings OF the
Nebraska frontier.
Forty years ago $50 Sioux war
riors, under Chief Big Foot, were
slain in the battle of Wounded
Knee. Twenty troopers OF the Sew
enth U. S. cavalry including Cap
tain Wallace, were killed.
The Battle of Wounded Knee
lasting for several weeks, was the
turning point in the rumblings
among the Indians of the Nebraska
panhandle for a wholesale slaught-
er of the white settlers. Defeat
of Chief Big Foot and heavy early
winter shows the uprising sup
pressed.
Pioneers claim that one Of the
most bitter frontier wars in his
tory was averted by the timely ar
rival OF troops and the early SHOWS
which kept the Indians in leash
until soldiers arrived from ouJpost'

MAYORS TOPPER
IS ANNOYING TO
THREE CITIZENS

That old time ditty. "Where Did
You Get That Hat" may now be
sung at his honor. the Mayor of FL
Centre. H. w. Fawcett.
Santa Claus brought him a new
topper, Santa in this instance be-
ing Roy Womack. local Chevrolet
dealer. The mayor says it is a
Stetson hat and Womack claims it
is a Chevrolet berSs.
The story behind the hat goes
like this: Several weeks ago Wo-
mack conducted a Chevrolet econ
olny run and entered the mayor
against Bob Wbitelaw, president Of
the chamber of commerce, to see
which could operate a Chevrolet the
greater distance on the same
amount of gas. The winner was to
get a hat. The mayor. being near
Scotch, won.
He claimed Whitelaw was 10
purchase the hat. Whitelaw denied
it and claimed Womaok was 10 be
the goat. Womack passed it to his
handy man, Red" Mitchell, and
trying to make ar old army hand
like Red" take the buck IS just
plumb foolishneSs.
Threats by the mayer gradually
effected Womack so that ne could
not keep his mind on selling Chew
rolets. He even began to speak OF
good points in competitive cars. To
preserve his peace of mind and
prevents inroads into his total sales.
Roy dug down in the OLD sock and
produced the lid for Christmas.
Now the mayor is wearing IL,
Whitelaw is trying TO figure OUT
some legal way for getting it or for
making Womack buy him one, and
Roy shie; every time "Red" Mitch
ell comes near him, figuring he
may want to have his thatch cov-
cred, too.

In the center of the Chinese room
banked high in the background with
ferns, subdued red and green lights
and ornamentations, stood the
Doherty family, receiving.
Helen was in the middle of the
group. She appeared a statuesque
blonde figure gowned simply in pale
pink chiffon embroidered with bril-
liants.
Beyond her in the ballroom was
jammed a sea of society.
On its side stretched a double tiel
of ornate boxes draped with South
ern smilax and big blossoming POM
settiaS.
After dancing until midnight the
guests walked across the promenade
hall to the presidential dining room
for a five course supper Of squat
