of Indianapolis, filed application for
letters of administration the day af-
ter the death of Brooks. Mrs. Win
ters claimed to be the common-law
wife of Brooks. Issuance of the let
ters was stopped when the cousins
filed a protest.
At that time a will could not be
found and it was understood that
the cousins and Mrs. Winter had
reached an agreement over the set
tlement of the estate.
Later Mr.. Brooks attorney pre-
sented will said to have been exc
cuted by Brooks several months be-
fore he died.
The following bequests were made
in that will: Annie Cottage, FELTON,,
AIDA Arthurs, Kenton, Mrs. Ber-
nard Gardiner, Providence, R. l.; Ida
Clark, Centerville, Md, and Gilbert
Clark, $4,000 each, and all real .es-
tate in Selbyville; Clarence Nichols,

A. Conklin, property in which they
live; Richard and Betty Dickerson,
$4,000 and property; Drach, $4,000,

naming real estate and personal
property.
The thirteen near relatives of
Brooks then filed a protest in Pro-
bate Court against the will on the
grounds that Brooks was of un-
sound mind at the time the will was
filed, and that the signature attach
ed to the will was not that of
Brooks. The Fletcher Savings and
Trust Company, of Indianapolis,
was named executor of the will by
Judge Mahlon E. Bash pending dis
position of the suit filed in Pro-

FIX PLUMBING,
THEN DECORATE
YOUR HOUSE
Best To Get All Repair
Work Done Before The
HOusecleaning Is Begun

If you are thinking of having
some of your plumbing fixtures re-
placed or if there are some repairs
that ought to be made in your
plumbing system, this work should
by all means be done before the
housecleaning and decorating.
This is the advice which plumbing
contractors offer to housewives.
Plumbing contractors have often
found in their experience that after
an old house has been newly deco
rated the old plumbing fixtures will
look so out-of-date that the house.
wife is dissatisfied with them and
calls a plumbing contractor to get
an estimate on undermining work.
To her regret, she sometimes finds
out that it may be necessary to tear
into the newly decorated wall in Or
der to make changes in the piping or
hanging of fixtures. This isn't al
ways necessary, but sometimes it is.
It would be advisable for every
home-owner to remember that if his
plumbing fixtures are more than
ten years old, they will look out-of-
date after the house has been re-
decorated.
Before a home-owner makes an
extensive investment in redecorating
an old house, it is advisable to have
the plumbing looked over, because if
there should be weaknesses in some
of the piping, leak might ruin the
decorating as well as rugs and fur
nishings.
In fact, thorough inspection of
the plumbing system of the house
once a year is good idea, and
spring is the best time to have this
done.
Besides making a thorough in
spection of the whole system, the
plumber should clean out the catch
basin and rout out the sewer lead
ing from the house to the catch
basin. This is important, because
often leaves and branches accumu-
late in the down-spouts and are
washed into the sewer or catch
basin and, when the rains come, a
stoppage of the sewer results.
Traps and faucets should be care
fully checked, as well as the flush
ing action of the closet combination.

Broadway Stars Are
Denoted To Chorus

DemotiOn to the chorus, once hav-
ing risen from the ensemble dancing
ranks, is one of the most humiliating
retrogressions. Recently, in the
cases of several Broadway stars,
however, it is a decided promotion.
Talking pictures are responsible for
the change.
Several members of the stellar
cast of "Gold Diggers of Broadway"
Warner Bros. and Vitaphone all-col-
or, talking, singing and dancing spe-
cial, though at one time they tripped
it in the choruses of numerous New
York musical shows-individually
rose to fame as stage and screen
stars. Now they are back in the
chorus, but as featured players IN
this all-talking production which
brings to the screen the intimate
lives of Broadway's nugget-gather-
ing chorus girls.
These ex-chorus steppeTs who re-
turn to the chorus in Gold Diggers
of Broadway" include Nancy We'll
ford, Ann Pennington and Llyan
Tashman. All three received their
early dramatic training under Flor
enz Ziegfeld in his world-famous
"FOllies."
However, each attained an envi-
abledegree of fame before entering
talking pictures. Miss Wexford re-
Gently starred on in the stage in
Rain or Shine," "No, No, Nanette"
and scandals" Miss Pennington
starred for several seasons in
George Whites Scandals" and is
also a silent screen star. Miss Tash-
man, we'll known on the stage and
in motion pictures, played the origi-
nal role of Eleanor in the foOtlight
production of "The Gold Diggers."
In "Gold Diggers of Broadway"
which is scheduled to open a three
day engagement at the New Plaza
Theatre, Milford, commencing with a
midnight show, Sunday, June % and
continuing Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, June %, "a and rs,
with a matinee Wednesday at 2:SO,
these three players enact colorful
roles as chorines bent on feathering
their nests with gold.
Other principals in the cast are
Conway Tearle, Winnie Lightner,
William BakewelI, Nick Lucas, Hell
en- Foster, Albert Gran, Gertrude
Short and others. There is dazzling

Y O-U
AND YOUR
MONEY
Plan Your Financial Future
(By John P. Mullen)

Back Of every well-constructed
: building, bungalow or palace there
is a Carefully-drawn blueprint COM
plete to the minutest detail. Behind
' every successful business there is a
well-defined policy. But it is the un-
common instance in which the aver
age individuals attempt to rear a
W6Ound structure of financial indie
Kpendence is based on anything more
than haphazard, Tower-of-B Babel
methods
Few realize the Importance of a
Thoughtful plan and policy in their
effort to get ahead financially. That
is a foremost reason why so few
gain financial independence. They
may earn substantially, spend wisely
and save, but in the end they come
to dependency or even to poverty.
Illness or accident. get-rich-quick
frauds or other misfortunes wipe out
: their savings, and after years of eff
fort they are within the shadow of
: want.
If you are earnest in your desire
to get ahead financially, plan your
financial future. Begin by analyzing
your present condition and determ-
lining your financial goal. Make a
picture of your income in terms of
= food, clothing, shelter, education,
recreation, savings and those other
' necessities and luxuries of everyday.
All men know what they earn in dol
lars and cents but few know what
they earn in buying power, in full
living and protection against the. fu-
Nture. Budget yourself, if necessary
against wasteful expenditure. Fit
: into your plan those sound and
proved mediums of investment which
! will employ your surplus safely and
to the best advantage in keeping
, with your objective. Find out what
you should have in a reserve fund, a
liquid savings account, in insurance,
and carefully selected stocks and
bonds.
Every individual must formulate
his own financial program. There
are no ready-made plans which will
serve. Changing financial conditions
and changing personal conditions
lwill demand alterations. But that
fact should not deter you from adopt
ing some definite, constructive plan
which fits your present condition and
allows latitude for the future. Make
your plan practical and experience
will improve it. But make it and
follow it, and your financial goal will
near appreciably.

TROUBLE FREE
REFRIGERATION
IS SECURED BY
OUTSIDE icing
According To DIR. Martha
Manning, Home Refrig-
Grafton Expert.

"Unless you have enjoyed the
convenience of having ice delivered
into your refrigerator from outside
the house, through small door in
the wall, you have no idea how sim
pie a matter good refrigeration is" !"
DR.. Manning states. your refrig-
orator can then be kept well iced
constantly without ever any bother
or attention on your part. You need
never be at home to receive the
ice.
"This is a good time to mOdernize
your home with outside icing. 1t
costs very little to build-in this con-
venience; almost any handy man or
carpenter can do it. If you are going
away for the summer the job will
be completed in your absence, ready
for improved refrigeration in the
fall.
perhaps you are planning a new
house. By all means outside icing
should be included in the plans. The
very best plan is to have the refr1g-
orator built into the kitchen-cabinet,
butler's-pantry arrangement. OF
course you should have a service
able refrigerator-one that not only
looks well, but holds the cold in and
keeps the heat out-One that not
only is thrifty of ice but keeps your
food to perfection. Such refrigera-
tors may now be had at popular
prices.
Refrigerator manufacturers have
outside-icing blueprints in their cat
alogs. Such models cost but little
more than regular models; they're
worth the premium many times over
in the comfort they give you. With
an outside-icer you never have to
give refrigerator icing a thought.
You have plenty of clear, sparkling
ice for all purposes. And ice refrig-
Grafton costs very little"
