DEMOCRATS TO
seek HARMONY
AT LOVE FEAST
French Lick Meeting May
Become Waterloo for
Chairman Peters.
BY BEN STERN

All is not quiet on the Demo-
cratic front despite protestations of
good will, amity and peace in
various conferences in the Claypool
here recently.
Revolt against the Craftsmanship
of r. Earl Peters, Fl. Wayne, has
resulted in i'll feeling which may
be assuaged at the love feast at
French Lick next Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, or again may burst
into flames.
Harmony in Democratic ranks
now depends upon the abili OF
Peters to make the French Lick
conference really a love feast and
soOthe ruffled feelings.
The seriousness Of the situation
is evidenced by the fact that Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, has been
called upon to play the part Of
Venus, with Thomas D. Taggart as
Cupid.
Asked to Attend
Many Democrats have declared
that they will rot attend the French
Lick session.
Leaders of the Bays group which
made a show of strength at the
reorganization meeting last week
have passed out the word that
their followers should be present.
Cooperation in the harmony pro-
gram was inferred at various con-
ferences of Peters with Lee Bays,
Sullivan, Second district chairman,
and Calvin Mcintosh, Worthington,
public service commissioner.
The figure of John Friedrich,
Kokomo manufacturer, who was
said to be maj general of the
revolt, has faded into the back
ground. Friedrich declared that
he was all for harmony when he
met Peters Tuesday. but at the close
Of a talk with newspaper men, he
declared: 1.-The Democratic party
will win this year if it is handled
right"
Feel Out Sentiment
Revolving on the outskirts of the
custer movement and leading some
OF the dissatisfied are Arthur Ham
rick, Greencastle, thrice unsucceSs-
full nominee for secretary of state,
and Jap Jones, MartinSville sana-
forum owner, and again candidate
for treasurer of state.
It may be that neither Of these
two men will be present at French
Lick, or Hamrick may stay away
and Jones may show up.
If they are there it will be for
the evident purpose of feeling out
the sentiment among party leaders
and other candidates toward sud-
den termination of the Peters rule.
Meeting May Be Called
One man pointed out that any
member of the state committee may
call a meeting of the committee
and demand reorganization.
Some think that such a move is
possible on June 9, the day before
the state convention, if Peters is
not successful in ironing out the
kinks.
There is a possibility that the
chairman will go out of his way to
include Bays leaders and workers
in his program of activities, and if
this is done insurgency possibly
NAV be Quelled for a time.
However, there is no doubt that
the battle is not over.
French Lick may prove either
Austerlitz or Waterloo for Peters.

BANDITS CAUSE
POLICE SHAKEUP
Loot Bank of $4,000;
Mayor Orders Action.

BIZ United Press
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. THE
Lincoln police department went
about the business of buying itself
some guns and ousting its more
timid patrolmen today all because
some bank robbers caught the de-
partment with only one rifle in its
armory.
The rifle, incidentally, was the
personal property of the chief. And
SO the bandits made away with
about $4,000, caused the Lincoln
National bank they robbed on Sept.
II to merge with another and
brought from Mayor Don Love an
order to make the Lincoln police
department a police department in
fact as we'll as in name.
Lincoln previously had boosted
of having the smallest police force
of any town it's size in the country.
Those bandits" explained the
mayor, could have taken over our
city and could have gone from one
bank to another, looting them.
Hereafter we're going to have a po-
lice department that is police de-
partment."

HOW 10 PLAY
%dazltBACKGA|NN0NI

BILE point justifies the risk that was
taken on leaving the blot.
n
TIME throws of one and four and
L one and five are made in
exactly the same way by moving one
man from point and the other
man from point IL.
This idea of leaving a blot on
point 5 sometimes is carried to such
an extent that a player will make
this move even when he could have
played the throw without leaving
any blot.
This is the case with one and four,
which could be played by taking one
man on point IL in the opponents
outer table to point 8 in the players
outer table.
A difficult situation arises when
player must choose whether to
bring one of his two men from the
opponents inner table or move a
man from the opponents outer
table.
AS a general policy, it is wiser to
leave the two men on point l until
they can be brought out with
doublets or throw of five and six.
The plays of three and six, and four
and six are exceptions to this as
moving one of these two men seems
to be. the least of the evils.
Some players move a man from

in the opponents inner table, and
the other man from point II in the
opponents outer table to point 9
in the players outer table.
Nearly all moves recommended in
these articles are equally good for
the, first few moves of the game,
bearing in mind that blots are most
dangerous to leave when exposed to
several of the opponents men.
Two and six, for instance, can be
played by moving man from point
l in the opponents inner table for
two moves to point 8 in the op-
ponent's outer table.
This would be more dangerous if
the opponent previously had made
similar move so that he has men
on two points in the players outer
table.
TT is much wiser to play in this
l. case a man from point II in the
opponents outer table for both
moves to point in the players
inner table.
Some players always make this
move in any case, again reasoning
on the advantage of covering the
blot on point on the next play if
it is not hit.
In choosing whether to leave a
blot on point or the bar point
this blot is safer on point 5, as
there are fewer throws which vii.
permit the opponent to hit the
blot.

point / with a play Of four and five.
A better play for this move is prob
ably to move two men from point IL
in the opponents outer table, one
for the four and the other for the
five.
This leaves one blot which can
only be hit by a double throw.
TWO throws which usually are
i made by deliberately leaving
two blots are two and three and
three and four.
These two plays are made by
moving two men from point II in
the opponents outer table. The
position is excellent to make a point
on the next throw and neither of
the men can be taken up with a
single throw.
The two and three could be
played by moving one man from
point IL in. the opponents outer
table to safety On point 8 in the
players outer table, but this leaves
no improved positions for the next
throw.
Two and five is played with two
men from point II for the same
reason. The play of three and four
could also be played safely by play
ing man from point II in two
moves to point 6 in the players
inner table, but it has the same OBJ
jections as the preceding throw.
II n
I'm each of these throws one Of
l. the two men in the opponent

never done, although a one anc

QUITE frequently the initial
~ throw is poor. 1t is very neces-
sary to know how best to combat
these disadvantageous throws.
Often the sensible play is to take
considerable risk in leaving blotS,
hoping on the next throw to make
use of this blot if it is not hit by
the opponent For example, one
and two forces the player to leave a
blot.
The play may be made in two
ways. One may be moved to point
IL in the opponents outer table, or
to point 10 in the players outer
table.
This leaves just one blot, which
only can be hit with a double throw.
Good players frequently run a sec
ond risk with this throw and play
the one from point 6 to point in
the players inner table and the
two from point IL in the opponents
outer table to point II in the play
er'S outer table.
If the blot on point is not hit
it can be covered on the next play
with a throw of a six, a three or a
one. Thus blocking this very valua-

WASHINGTON, Oct. l. - The
new Canadian export law, counted
on to stop liquor smuggling into the
United States, is proving Intellectual
in entirely hating such operations.
Smuggling bands, which tempo
rarily suspended operations when
the law became effective on May
81, are finding loopholeS to evade
its provisions and bootlegging again
is on the increase, according to re-
ports to Admiral Frederick c. Bill

of smuggling operations, although
he does not think they have reached
such a large scale as before the law
became operative" Billiard said

command of 800 men were defending
Fort StanwiX, near the present sight
of Rome, N. Y, when word was
received of the new flag design. The
garrison was searched for material
to manufacture the new flag, pre-
sumably the Stars and Stripes,
which was displayed the same af-
ternoon from a flagstaff on bas-
tion nearest the enemy. There is,
however, no authentic record of
either the Grand Union Flag or the
Stars and Stripes, as national colors,
ever having been carried into battle.
A Shot For Each Stripe
Captain Thomas Thompson of the
American ship Raleigh" fired on a
British ship he was pursuing on
September 4.."Weu sails, out guns
hoisted the Continental colOrs and
bid them strike to the Thirteen Uni
ted States" wrote the captain. Sud
den surprise threw them into con-
fusion and their sails few all aback,
upon which we complimented them
with a gun for each State, whole
broadside into their hull" This was
the new flags first encounter at sea.
The Stars and Stripes first foated
over a fortress of the Old World,
when Lieutenant O'Bannon Of the
Marines and Midshipman Mann of
the Navy raised the flag over the
fortress at Derne, TripOli, where it
was flung to the breeze on April u,
1905.
by the dawn's early light" on
September ID. 1914, Francis Scott
Key saw the Star-Splangled Banner
still waving over Fort McHenry, and
composed the song which is now the
national anthem.
Both the flags raised at Tripoll
and at Fort McHenry had fifteen
stars and fifteen stripes, a flag de-
sign that remained in vogue from
1895 until 1918. Then Congress au-
thorized the return of the flag to its
original form of thirteen stripes, one
star being added for each State en-
tering the Union until today there
are 48 stars in the blue field.
