PROTESTS POUR
IN ON PROPOSED
BAR TO PARKING
Council Will Hold Special
Meeting Friday to De-
eide Action.

Special city council meeting has
been set for $3.50 Friday as result
of failure of councilmen to take
definite action on the new traffic
ordinance Monday night.
The delay was occasioned by fall
ure of councilmen to agree on the
section banning parking around the
World War memorial plaza. Repre-
sentatives of several groups ap-
peared at the meeting to object to
this feature.
The section banning parking In
the central traffic district from Z to
9:l5 a. m, designed to halt all day
parking, also was a controversial
point.
The council passed the new ordi-
nance regulating taxicabs, making
minor changes. Another ordinance
banning delivery of milk before 6
a. m. during winter months, as a
health measure and to reduce num-
Der OF early morning milk wagon
accidents, was killed.
City Librarian Protests
Objections to the plaza parking
ban were presented by Luther F.
Dickerson, city librarian, who asked
one-hour parking be permitted on
the north side of st. Clair street
between Pennsylvania and Meridian
streets, as an accommodation to Ii
brary patrons.
Protests of representatives Of the
Second Presbyterian and First Bap-
list churches, on the plaza, against
the ban won support of Maurice E.
Tenant, council traffic committee
chairman; Leo F. WEIGH and James
A. Houck.
Representatives Of the Indian
apolis Building Owners and Man
ayers Association objected to the
early morning parking ban, declar-
ing 1t would work a hardship on
hundreds of insurance company
agents who must attend meetings
in their offices at each morning.
1t was declared that If the ban be-
came effective, these companies
would move into outlying sections.
Defends Plaza Parking Ban

Captain Lewis Johnson said the

HIGHER PAY OR
LOWER TARIFF,
is LABOR'S CRY
Federation Head Threatens
to Join Revision Move
for Protection.

By Scrspps-HoWGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April THE
American high wage standard or
no more high protective tariff
This, in effect, was the ultimatum
voiced today by President William
Green of the American Federation
CT Labor, who threateneI to join a
movement for downward tariff re-
vision unless certain highly pro-
tected industrialists halt their wage
slashing campaign"
IF these gentlemen in the shoe
textile and other highly protected
industries continue to force wage
reductions, 1 propose to join the
movement at the next congress to
reduce their tariff protection" said
Green.
"These gentlemen can not have
their cake and eat it, too. Ev-
cry argument they advanced at the
recent Smoot-Hawley tariff bill
hearings was to the effect that they
could not compete with foreign
competitors because of the Ameri-
can high wage. Now that they have
their higher tariff they are proceed
ing to slash wages.
Threat to Revisionists
If they deliberately forsake the
high wage system they must for
sake their high wage argument;
they must also forego tariff pro-
lection"
Green suggested a measure pro-
viding for sliding scale tariff thai
would conform to the America
wage scale in each industry. Thus
he said, the degree of protection
would conform to the wage paid.
Green's threat to join the down.
ward revisionists is no idle ges.
ture. At last session the American
Federation of Labor could easily
have defeated the so-called Grundy
tariff act.
The bill, it will be remembered

The A. F. of L. maintained a neu'
trail position.
In fact, certain laborites, headeC

 Lianes heart was beating SC ra pidIy it almost stifled her. Ol course he must know she was there but he wouldn't even look at her. What a fool she was to mind! Oh, she hated him. she hated him! Liane had a sudden wild longing for green fields and cool dark places where she couiud bury her face in long grass and weep long and satisfyingly, un- heard.
 Instead she had to sit there. passive, immobile, in her oid gray dress, feeling like a shadow on the edge of the pretty. painted throng.
 How she envied' all these young girls at Willow Stream. They had everything money, family. that vaunted and elusive thing called background. They could reach out and take what they wanted in their greedy little jeweled hands with the nicotine-stain fingers. No matter what they desired, a star sapphire, a trip to Europe, a handsome husband, there was all most always some adorins male to get it for them. What did they know of striving, of heartbreak What did they know of saving up i for a winter coat, wearing some friends castoff shoes? No, they had their little ermine wraps, their half a hundred Paris frocks, their perfumes, their horses and their planes. No wonder when a fas- cinating man looked about for 9 girl to admire he chose one of them. They were so petted. go admired. They had a nimbus of glamour about them. The Cinder- elias of the world hadn't 8 chance beside such rivals.
 She put her head down to hide the rush of tears that threatened to come.
 A shadow fell across the book in front of her. Don't move. Don't say a word," warned a men, acing voice. Slide up that win dow and give me the cash!'
 The startled girl looked up into somber eyes under a pulled l. down cap. Trembling she obeyed' Her fascinated gaze watching the blue barrel of the gun he 1eveled at her. There was an electric tensity in the little foyer. Two other men. both armed, stood in the doorway. You people, give us all you've got" commanded one. The women whimpering, had begun to strip themselves of their rings. One screamed and was or dered summarily by her white- faced escort to shut up.

It couldn't be real. She would awaken soon. The sun would be shining into the room and she would smile because the night had been so crazy. Her own voice, her face in the mirror across the room, the disordered array of her blue- black curls. the blood on her dress-Jean's blood, probably-all these things that would disappear when morning came.

NANCY PAGE Lois is Careful of Baby Ann's
 Milk in Hot Weather
 By Florence La Ganke
By Florence La Ganke

Baby Ann was getting along nicely, even though the days were hot and sticky. Lois was particu- larly careful of her milk. She purchased certified quality but she knew that she had to give 1t care at home if it were going to be worth the money it cost.
 She never allowed it to stand around in the sun or the delivery box for more than five minutes after 1t was delivered. The bottle was washed off and was put right into the refrigerator.
 She used her iceless refrigerator but her neighbor had the ice box of the more usual variety. She had learned to keep her box well filled with ice. A large service given two or three times a week is much better, and she knew it, than a small service each day. She never allowed the door to stand open and she never wrapped the ice in paper or any patent ice blanket to save 1t.
 Cold temperature comes only as the ice melts. If it Is prevented from melting the temperature in side the box is going to be high Foods kept in such a temperature will mold and sour in no time.
 Another thing which Lois founG helped her baby was the giving oi frequent baths or spongings dur ing the day. Baby Andy's clothes were of the fewest so that she could kick out alone without too much chafing clothes. All in all she seemed to be thriving on thH hot weather. And then too Lois remembered to give her frequent drinks of cool, boiled water.

 "Muriel will-well, she'll crown me for this" Liane said, laughing, as they sat over their coffee.
 Desmond lifted an interrogative eyebrow. Says which?'
 "Oh, all this!' Liane indicated the dancing floor, mirrored and smooth, on which a few early cou- pies were even now executing slow snail-like steps. The tented top sparkled with lights. Cars were beginning to huZz into the drive, their wheels crunching on the gravel outside.

Applying a wax depilatory to your arms or legs bellies the old saying, Its as easy as wax" For 1t is the hardest way to rid your skin of superfiuous hair, but it also is one of the most satisfactory ways.
 The reason for this is that wax literally pulls the hairs out, by the
 roots! Wax is an epilatory, rather
 than a depilatory.
 Take some time out of your day and settle down to doing this high Iy necessary busness properly, if you decide to use wax. First you melt the wax, accord ing to directions that come with it. Then you spread it on with the back of a spoon, not all over the portion you are working on, but rather like a map of several coun tries with boundary lines here and there. These boundary lines should be wide enough to allow you to take hold of the wax when it hard
 ems and lift it off. That is why you can't spread 1t on all-over fashion. Have your edges thick. You'll need this to get good lift on the
 rest.
 Spread the wax on in the direc- ton that the hair grows. Pull it off in the opposite direction. When the
 wax Is dry, pull it off quickly, like adhesive tape. If you are putting
 wax on your upper lip. begin in the
 center of the lip right under the
 nose and spread the wax down
 from the top, in a line that runs out to the corners of the lip. The h a rQ II Ilu pr fhn liI,
 so you can get the hairs out better by putting the wax from the top
 down. If you have an hesitancy
 about trying your own lip, get some
 beautician you have confidence in
 to apply it for you It usually is
 more successful than doing it your self.
 Before you use wax depilatory, have the surface thoroughly clean and very, very dry. Also, sprinkle talcum lightly over the surface be- fore you put the wax on. Use some
 antiseptic liquid application after l ward, as with all depilatories, and put on cold cream to soothe the
 skin. leaving 1t on for half hour, | If you can spare the time. You can save your wax and use | it again. For, sad to say, you'll probably need it. Hairs do grow
 back again in the old spots. but
 they do not grow quite so quickly after an application and you can repeat the wax when needed. This is no major operation. It takes only a comparatively little | time. It doesn't hurt any more than pulling off an adhesive plaster l hurts And you will be joyous al inc smooth surfaces found beneath the wax.
