Lines of Officers Guarded in
Pursuing Autos of Armed
Criminals.

The last word in protection for
law enforcement officers is provided
by bullet-proof automobile equip
ment being installed on many po-
lice and sheriff's cars by the Per-
lection Windshield Company, Is
West Pratt street.
The number of cars being pro-
vided with this equipment indicates
that law enforcement officers are
awakening to the fact that they are
entitled to protection while protect
ing the public against bank robbers
rum runners and other criminals,
most Of whom will not hesitate to
shoot to kill in seeking to escape.
A car equipped as shown above,
with bullet proof windshield includ-
ing q gunport, bullet-proof side
wings, radiator and tire protectors
enables an officer to make an honest
effort to catch criminals against
whom they are powerlesS otherwise.
Costs Mere Trifie
The expense of such equipment IS
a mere trif1e compared to the pro-
lection it affords officers, in addl-
ton to increased results in law en-
forcement.
The Indianapolis police depart
ment has six cars equipped with
bullet-proof windShieldS.
Among other communities obtain
ing similar protection for their po-
lice officers and sheriffS are Terre
Haute, Charlottesville, Frankfort,
Lafayette, Shelbyville, Newcastle,
Kokomon. Peru, Richmond, Rush
vile, Columbus and Connersville.
The lives of police officers and
sheriffs, daily taking risks to pro-
tect the public welfare, are worth
many times the small cost of pro-
viding one or more cars with this
equipment, according to c. F. Ecker,
Perfection Windshield Company
president.

City and County Clash

bD ItmeS special
MARION, Ind, Aug. o.
Whether the city of Marion
or Grant County has iuris-
diction over the long disputed
area surrounding the county court
house will be settled in a test case
here before Judge Oren w. Dickey
in superior court. The city passed
an ordinance prohibiting peddiers
from dispensing their wares in the
area. County commissioners in
structed peddlerS to proceed with
their business. Affidavits against
the peddlerS followed, and after
twenty years of haranguing the city
and county are at last at grips over
the area.

Provides Even Break

These officers are expected to go
out and catch bandits and other
criminals that are infesting the
country" Ecker said.
Ordinarily the criminals car is
better equipped for a gun battle
than that of the pursuing officers,
and the criminal will not hesitate
to shoot to kill.
Surely the taxpayers don't expect
the officers to pursue these criminals
with nothing for protection but a
plate glass windshield which not
only will not stop bullets but will
shatter and may injure the officers
seriously.
"A car with full bullet-proof
equipment gives the law enforce
ment officer a fair break against the
criminal"

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION

That is the joyful cry of thou
sands since DR.. Edwards produced
Olive Tablets, the substitute for
calonel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physi-
clan for 20 years, and calomelS old
time enemy, discovered the formula
for Olive Tablets while treating pa
tents for chronic constipation and
torpid iverS.
Olive Tablets do not contain calo-
mel, just a healing, soothing vege-
table laxative safe and pleasant.
No gripping is the Keynote of these
little sugar coated, olive colored tab
let's. They help cause the bowels and
liver to act normally. They never force
them to unna hral action.
If you have a dark brown mouth"
bad breath--a dull. tired feeling
sick headache-torpid liver-constipa-
ton. you should find quick, sure and
pleasant results from one or two of
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets.
Thousands take them every nigft to
keep right. Try them. l5c, SOC, 6Oc.-

MENTALLY UNFIT WOULD
SUFFER STERILIZATION
Senate Favors Action to Be Carrie
Out in Judicial Discretion.

Sterilization bills had varying
success in the Indiana senate Fri
day.
One, a house bill, permitting
juries to impose the added penalty
Of sterilization upon criminals con-
victed Of a felony in commission OF
which human life was taken or
threatened, was killed by indefinite
postponement.
But a short time later, the SEN
ate passed the house bill giving
courts the right to prescribe sterili-
cation for mentally unfit persons
they commit to insane institutions
and setting up procedure for the
sterilization of idiots and feeble
minded.
The measure was opposed by Sen
ator William P. Dennigan Dem,
Daviess and Knox who said, Il
question if we have a moral right
to mutilate innocent people. This
bill is materialistic, paganistic."
Society has the right to protect
itself against propagation of the
mentally unfit, hasn't it?" countered
Senator John L. Niblack (Rep.,
Marion). 1--WE concede the nations
right to demand the life of its citi-
zenS on the battle field"
IF you want to get rid of them,
why not electrocute them and be
done with it, Dennigan retorted.
The bill passed 81 to and now
goes to the Governor.

PAY CHANGE ADOPTED
House Would Put Prosecutor on
Straight Salary.

Killing a bill which would place
all sheriffS in Indiana on straight
salary basis, the house reversed it
self Friday and passed 1873 a SINH

These two measures contain the
same stipulations and figures as the
Democratic party pledge general
fees and salaries bill which is still
on the speakers desk. 1t is hoped
to get through the senate the COM
panion measures, if the other fails.
In the meanwhile the senate

fective July 1, by a vote of ALL with
an amendment raising the salary of
the recorder from $4,000 to $4,000

PARIS WILL SEE
FAMED BERBER
DESERT DANCE
Daughters of Tribal Chiefs
in Contests to Make
Trip to France.

By United Press
ALGIERS, Feb. 28.-All over the
Sahara desert, the daicing girls Of
the Berber tribes, who perform the
far-famed dance of the hands,"
are preparing for the elimination
dance contests to decide which will
go to Paris for the colonial expo
sition.
Tribal dances will be feature of
the exhibition. Native dancers will
be brought from all parts of
Frances far-fung colonies, from
o-China, in the east, to the An
titles, in the west,
The Berber dance girls earn their
living in the native cabaretS in the
Gases villages of the Sahara.
Born in the mountains, daughters
of fierce tribal chiefs, they come
down to the hot, sandy plains with
the sole idea of earning enough
money with which to buy a hus-
band when they reach marriage
able age.
Teach Dance TO Daughters
AS soon as they have amassed a
large enough dot. they return to
the mountain Businesses, marry and
settle down. In due course, they
teach their daughters the dance of
the hands"
The dance has been handed down
for centuries. 1t is as slow and
stately as a cotillon, yet it rouseS
the menfolk to wild applause, as
they crouch in a circle in the open
air, under the desert moon, or in
the mud-walled native cabarets.
The men clap their hands
rytFmically, while the male must
clans, in a corner, play on small
drums with their hands.
Invest Saving in Gold
For curious women tourists, the
Berber girls will dance partly nude,
but them the men musicians must
turn their backs while they play,
because according to tribal tradi-
ton a curse will fall upon a man
who gazeS upon the nude body Of
an unmarried girl.
The Berber girls invest \all their
savings in gold, sending couriers
hundreds of miles from the desert
villages to Algiers to buy gold coins
from the money changers.
They string the coins around their
necks as if they were strings of
beads and the chains are made up
of coins from all over the world.
Give Money to Husbands
When they marry, they hand over
their necklaces to their husbands,
who use the gold to barter for sheep
or canels or Arab steeds.
Only after prolonged negotiations
with the Berber chiefs has the
French government secured consent
to bring the girls from the Sahara
i to dance their weird dance in Paris,
where it will be seen for the first
| time.
