STUDY OF CITY
CAR OWNERSHIP
PLAN STARTED
City Hall Group Awaits
Word From Mayor Before
Taking Action.

Study of legal aspects looking to-
ward legislative action for acquisi-
ton of the indianapolis Street Rail-
way Company by the city, was ur-
derway today at city hall.
This was the only semblance Of a
step toward further action relative
to the company since the city hall
street car committee Friday turned
down the insult proposal to buy and
operate the defunct utility.
City officials would not commit
themselves on probable moves rela-
tive to municipal ownership, assert
ing directions by Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan are awaited.
Municipal operation, has been
proposed by civic organizations and
business men as well as security
holders of the company. The latter
proposal was made by insult pro-
ponentS after the city turned down
the franchise proposal of the utility
powers.
It is understood that if the city
takes over the street car company
it will be necessary to enact a law
in the next legislature creating a
taxing unit for issuance of pur-
chase bonds.
Revision of the present utility
district, enacted for acquisition of
the Citizens Gas Company, would
have to be carried out, should it
be decided municipal ownership, if

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up a stubborn, lingering cough. It
takes but a moment to prepare and
costs little, but it gives real relief even
for those dreaded coughs that follow
severe cold epidemicS.
From any druggist, get 212 ounces OF
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and MI
the bottle with plain graduated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
a full pint of better remedy than sou
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. 1t never spoils and tastes so
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe and heal the inflamed throat
membranes with surprising ease, brit
also it is absorbed into the blood, and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing off the cough. It loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness
in a way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful IN
cases Of distressing coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
II IS guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

Of events which will eliminate in
high tragedy. FEB. 10, in the death
house Of the Chicago jail.
The subject of the photograph,
| ls-year-old Charles Rocco, wept in
his cell today, not because of his
impending death, but because his
father recognized the picture as that
Of the son who had run away from
home years ago.
II was going to be brave" sobbed
Rocco, "and go to the chair like a
man. My father didn't know what
/ was doing or where I was. I
didn't think he'd ever know. I
knew 1t would break his heart ii
ne found out
and then I let them take my
picture for the newspapers, and Dad
saw it. Now he's coming to see
me"
Young Rocco, who had main
tained an air of bravado until the
episode of the picture, collapsed IN
, his chair, put his head in his
hands, and wept.
The father, Louis Rocco, toll worn
laborer. saw the picture in the New
York paper when he finished work
one day last month at Suffern,
N. Y. Recognizing the picture cap
toned Condemned Slayer" as that
Of the son he had hunted for three
years. Rocco sought aid of Police
z Chief c. L. Lunney. Telegraphic
inquiry resulted in the following
message from Chicago:
"ThiS is to inform you that the
young man you seek, Charles Rocco,
is to be electrocuted next month
with John Popescue for the murder
Of Courtney Merrill, a banker, dur
ing a robbery
The elder Rocco, Al, quiet and m
dustrious, said that somehow he
would rase money enough to come
70 Chicago, hire q lawyer and at
tempt to save his sons life.
Murder Branded Brutal
The chances of staying off thC
death sentence are exceedingly slim
y however, said prosecutors here, who
pointed out that both Rocco anc
Popescue confessed to numbering
the banker, pleaded guilty at then
trial and calmly received the deatf
sentence imposed by Judge Philip j
Finnigan, who characterized the
murder as one of the most bruta
and needless ever committed.
Rocco and Popescue said they
killed the banker so 'he couldn't
talk" They robbed him while he
was putting his automobile in his
garage, then shot him to death.
After young Rocco ran away
from his father, he drifted west and
entered a career Of crime. He was
charged with killing another man at
Indiana Harbor, Ind, and with Sc
ries of robberies at Gary. Indiana
police relinquished their hold upon
him because of the clear-cut evil
dence against him in the Chicago
murder.

said Charles. "And I was. 1 still
would be, too, if it weren't for my
father. I don't mind being electro

No Naval Race

Collapse Of the British French-Italan naval ne
gotations is used as an excuse by some of cur bigger
navy advocates to urge more cruiser building They
are too quick on the trigger. 1t is indeed unfortu-
nate that the long Franco-Italan dispute has not
been settled by British mediation but this rather
late in the day to get panicky such familiar
situation
In fact, the negotiations will be renewed despite
the present failure, and an agreement yet may be
worked out.
But even if there is no agreement in sight the
deadlock. involves immediate danger to the United
states The situation remains as it was when the
London treaty was signed last year.
AS President Hoover and others accurately stated
at that time Brtish-Japanese-A American agreement
to limit auxiliary craft was OF value. even though
France and Italy could not be brought into the lim-
tation, as desired.
Theoretically. France and italy now are free to
increase their building programs just as they have
been free all along. And theoretically, Britain or
Japan or the United States could use the escalator
clause OF the London treaty to build above the treaty
limitation because Of a French or Italian construc-
ton program.
In the long that. of course, is dangerous
possibility, since it would open the way to another
armament race among all the naval powers.
But for the present there are two obstacles to a
naval race even though there no effective treaty
prohibition:
One is the disarmament conference OF next win
ter. Any nation which starts an armament race OF
the eve OF that conference Will be held in contempt
by world opinion and probably by home opinion
and no government since the World war is anxious

Nerves May React on Your Baby

1t has been urged repeatedly that
a mother who is anxious to nurse
the baby, who is not disturbed about
conditions in the home, who has a
sufficient amount Of recreation and
rest, is better able to produce the
lacteal fluid that the infant re-
quires and better able to give it
the personal attention that means
so much in it's proper physical and
mental development.
There is, therefore, during the
period of childbirth, both a physical
and mental hygiene that must be
observed for the best results.
The government printing ONCE
has available pamphlet called
Prenatal Care" which provides
much additional information on
this subject, and which would be
helpful to every mother

ton Of dog. fight by the mother
will produce canine characteristics
in the infant, nor is there any evil
dence to prove that repeated listen
ing to symphonies will make the
offspring a Chopin or Beethoven.
There is, however, plenty of evil
dence to indicate that nervous irri-
tation, heart disturbances, fatigue
during the period, may harm the
infant as well as the mother.
Contentment and happy antici-
patton bring the mother to the
period of childbirth in a proper
mental attitude to withstand the
nerve strain associated with this
time.
Fatigue means that the tissues
concerned in the proper develop
ment Of the infant are not at their
best. Worry and nervousness may
interfere seriously with the ability
of the mother to nurse her child.

Records Are a Disgrace

CONSIDERING all we have done
" in this country to improve and
perfect bookkeeping, our public rec
ords are a disgrace.
1t is safe to say that no civilized
country on earth suffers from such
a lack of ordinary and easily OBJ
tainable information, not only about
crime, but about everything else Of
public interest, as the United States.
What our registrars of deeds don't
know about titles, what our tax
assessors don't know about values,
what our police departments don't
know about social conditions, only
to mention three examples, would
make the biggest encyclopedia ever
compiled.
We pay out lot of money for
gathering information in one way
or another. You can see it stacked
up in volumes at the Offices Of most
any board, bureau, or public agency,
but st. Peter himself couldn't put
it together or tell what it means.
AS the Wickersham board points
out, one Washington bureau COM
piles prison statistics, another crime
statistics, and still another Stats
tics on child delinquency, which is
typical Of our statistical efforts re-
garding most everything.
