indianapolis people no longer feel

to end colds promptly by a pleasant
corrective which has been certified
as the quickest and surest of diff

colds, coughs and chest colds.
James L. Regain, for example, was
treated for severe cold caught

given double doses Of Ayers Cher

abated. In the morning congestion
was clearing up rapidly. Clinical ex-

Ayers Pectoral had removed all
trace of the cold.
Cases certified by the attending phys

in the movie cast. The picture has
been done entirely in color and the
color this time rather carries out
the idea of youth around which the
story is based. I heard numerous
people gasp when Nancy Carroll
made her first drive on the golf
link-"Gee, she sure has the looks. -
Or words to that effect. The color
handling of the entrance of Miss
Carroll is most effective. She will
certainly coin a bunch of sweet
hearts in her audiences with this
one.
Rogers at times impressed me as
being little too nice and little
too much of the chorus type. But
when he turns those dying fawn
eyes on Nancy-well, the works are
shot. Buddy will remain safe and
sound if he keeps his present look"
in his eyes. He may not set the
men wild, but it is the girls who
will keep him popular, famous and
rich. A nice combination at that.
Follow Thru" on the screen is
what call comfortable theater. 1t
is strong in comedy and it has
been masterfully delivered. This

The experience of Miss
Alice Ryan, hospital nurse, is
typical. Miss Ryan contract
ed a severe chest cold as a
result of overwork at the
children's cold clinic. Exam
ination by the house physi-
clan showed a pulse of Sc,
respiration 20 and temporal
ture 1000, with severe thor
acic pains.
Within a short while after the
doctor gave her double strength
doses or Ayers Cherry Pectoral
she was surprised to ind how
quickly relief began. In few
hours her fever was less; she was
breathing easier and had no thor
acic pain. Tina night she slept
comfortably ano woke up feeling
greatly relieved. When she re-
turned for medical examination
the next day, her temperature, pulse
and respiration were normal again.
A few doses of Ayers Pectoral, the
doctor reports, had cleared up the
cold completely.

COPS SCANDAL
HERE ADDS TO
GROWING LIST
Increase in Corruption Of
Officials Is Studied in
Washington.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The re-
cent indictment of eighteen city po-
lice officers in indianapolis on fed
eral charges involving conspiracy
against the prohibition laws is re-
garded by officials of the depart
ment of justice as a symptom of
the latest new tendency in enforce
ment history, according to report
made public today by Attorney
General William D. Mitchell.
"One feature of the prohibition en-
forcement record" the statement
said, lis the number of state and
municipal officers who were charged
with participation in violation of
the federal prohibition laws"
This comment was based upon a
summary of enforcement activities
for the fiscal year 1880, which ended
June 80.
IS Officers Convicted
During the year there were 189
criminal cases begun against state,
county or municipal officers in va
rious parts of the county. Eighty
four cases, involving more than 125
officers, we're pending at the close of
the fiscal year and some sixty new
indictments have been added since,
including eighteen at Indianapolis.
Of the ninety-flve officers con-
victed during the year, sixty-four
we're sentenced for conspiracy, two
for bribery of federal prohibition Of
f1cers and twenty-seven for direct
personal violation, such as selling,
transportation and diStilling.
Officials of the justice department
would attempt no explanation of
the increasing number of conspir-
acy cases involving state officers
during the last two years.
Report Being Drafted
This same situation was observed
early in the Investigations of the
Wickersham law enforcement COM
mission. 1t has been the subject of
exhaustive investigation and is I'M
derstood to be treated at great
length in the tentative report now
being drafted for presentation to
the new session of congress in De-
cember.
Even the foremost advocates of
national prohibition admit tacitly
that the local enforcement ma
chinery is the last stand of the
noble experiment.
If the enforcement effort entails
the progressive corruption of local
government, as is suggested by the
growing list of convicted officials,
then even the most militant drys
will accept, they say, the fact that
in no community can organized bu-
reaucratic administration force the
standards of law higher than the
common judgment and convictions
of the majority of the people.

STOKOWSKI TRIUMPHS
ON RADIO CONCERT

I received by mail the other day
really beautiful invitation ito
listen-in to the first Of a series of
four broadcasts by the Philadelphia
orchestra, Leopold Stokowski con-
Quoting"
And so was in front of my radio
yesterday afternoon, because my in
vitation assured me that especial
interest attaches to this air concert
for the reason that DR.. Stokowski
will use for the first time a new
device enabling the conductor to
regulate the tonal volume of the
broadcast"
This new invention, as Stokowski
explained over the air, is the result
Of long period of experimentation.
can say that this device must be
a great success, because yesterdays
concert was the most successful
from the standpoint of regulated
tonal volume that I have ever heard.
1t seemed to me that my set took
on new life and power. Color
actually came over the air the first
time in my experience of hearing a
symphony over the air.
To me, the way Stokowski con-
Quoted his great orchestra through
Ravel's "Bolero," was the critical
test as well as the climax of his
great program.
This new device allows the con-
ductor to paint his picture of tone
just as he would on the concert
platform. He actually brought his
great orchestra to whisper in
"Bolero," and then gradually lifted
it to storm-both in color, power
and volume.
1t moved me just as much over
the air as if I had heard the Or
chestra in a hall. To me this broad
cast over the National Broadcasting
Company network was the most
satisfactory broadcast of a symphony
that have ever heard.

C. 0. P. FEARS
HOUSE SWEEP
BY DEMOCRATS
Front Line Fighters Are
Worried by Thoughts
of Election.

By scripDs-HoWard NeicsDaDer AlIionce
CHICAGO, Oct. BIN a smart
expensive suite on the eighth floor
Of the Palmer House here today
there labored a group Of the most
harassed politicians in the United
States. It's official title is the Re
publican congressional committee.
It's front-line assignment is to hold
the house for Hoover against the
threat Of a sweep that may place the
Democrats in control.
These party patriots will not adj
NIT their worries. They issue sunny
statements, even though they dark
en- bright hotel rooms with fu-
nereal faces.
They pretend to feel no concern
but they send speakers scurrying to
all points of the compass in an
swer to emergency cries from states
men in distress. and they clog the
Chicago postoffice with truckfuls of
campaign material.
Will Wood Bosses Gang
The boss of the gang is Will
Wood of Indiana, and the head of
the speakers bureau Is Representa-
tive Robert Simmons of Nebraska.
Both have comparatively safe dis
tricts, and can give their time to
less fortunate colleagues. They
have a large clerical staff, includ-
ing several part-time Washington
correspondents and the secretaries
OF several prominent house Repub-
leans.
Broadcasting for publication, they
predict they will hold the house by
thirty votes, as against their present
margin Of 1903. Among themselves
over a cup of coffee at the end
of the day-they admit they will
be happy if the night of Nov. 4
leaves them with majority Of ten
Or less.
Even at the best, they concede
that actual control will be shared
by ti-administration coalition in
senate and house consisting Of
Democrats and ProgressiveS. They
shudder at the legislation and in
vestigations such an alliance would
sponsor in an effort to place Hoover
and the G. O. P. in hole for 1882.
Shudder at Speaker Thoughts
They shrink from the thought
that, if the Democrats win, the pol
ished and popular Nick Longworth
of Ohio must turn over the speak
er's gavel to Jack Garner, the
horney- handed Texan.
With the Democrats needing only
fifty-four new seats to win control,
it is believed they will win half this
number in states east of the Mis-
sissippi. Should the agricultural
west. of low wheat prices and dis
turbed political conditions, provide
as many upsets, the present minor
ity would become the majority.
Control of important house COM
mittees would then pass to the south
and southwest, as almost all rank
ing Democratic committee members
hail from below the Mason-Dixon
line.

NEW BARRYMORE FILM
is REALISTIC ENTERTAINMENT

The filming of "Moby Dick" in
sound production has brought to
the screen the most realistic of sea
stories so far in the talkies. John
Barrymore, who as Med Ahab,
looses a leg in an attack on Moby
Dick the whale, leaves little to your
imagination as to the pain such an
accident would incur.
The scene when the whale bites
off the leg is so plain and real
that you sit breathless anG wonder
how it is done. That which fol-
lows when the hot iron is pressed
against the remaining limb of the
