BEER MAKING DETRIMENTAL
 TO FARMERS
Arguments on Manufacture of Intoxicants Are
 Now Answered NATIONAL GRANGE
 ISSUES STATEMENT Executive Committee e C Takes Stand Long Sup ported Dry Cause

WASHINGTON. D. O.. Oct. l. Arguments that the manufacture of beer would help the American farmer have been answered by the National Grange with statement by the Executive Committee that a return to beer would hurt the farmer.
 The National Grange numbers more than 5000 farmers from every state in the Union.
 It is represented that the Grange has long supported the dry cause
 The Executive Committee is meet ing to deal with the agricultural crisis and Louis Taber, National Grange Master, said: Ut is tragic to find so-called national leaders pressing for beer to combat de- pression. This has been studied by the National Grange and results show conclusively that resumption of the brewing industry in the United States would be detrimental to interstate agriculture"

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. l. Prank Dorbandt, who flew Pang- born and Herndon's plane to New York before the fliers started their world flight, said it would be a miracle if they get the plane across the North Pacific.

SPORTSMAN PARK, St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 1.-Connie Mack's Ath- letics, Baseball Kings of 1880, today flashed off to lead in the 1891 Worlds Series when they won the opening game from the St. Louis Cardinals by score of to 2. Both teams played errorless ball.
 A four-run rally in the third inning, after two were out, and a blasting homerun by AT Simmons in the seventh with Cochrane on first spelled victory for the Am erican League champions who came here today in search of a third successive Worlds Series champion ship. s
 Spot Cards Two
 And they showed their gameness by spotting the Cards two runs in the first frame. That was the only runs the National League champs could muscle out of Groves, Mack's spectacular left-handed ace. The Redbirds hit him often enough to win an ordinary ball game, but after the opening stanza, he was stingy when hits meant runs. He pitched masterly ball. flaming sev- en and walking and hitting none. His control was perfect.
 Derringer, Streets selection for the opener, started out like sure winner. He famed Bishop and Haas for the first two outs and Cochrane's best effort was a weak grounder to short
 In the second Simmons ground CT was taken by Gelbert easily who tossed AT out at first, and Derringer set Foxx down on three pitched balls. Miller was also a strikeout victim.
 Loses in Third
 The Champions solved Derringer's delivery for four safeties, one a two-bagger, in the third, scoring four runs on them and two bases on balls. Dykes let off with a lucky single to left, the ball bound- ing over Highs head at third. Willams's bunt toward the box was a slow roller and went for a hit when he reached first safely and Dykes perched atop second. Grove famed. Bishop grounded down first base line and Bottomley, mak- ing fast play. shot the ball to Wilson and ran down Dykes be- tween third and home for the second out. Bishop was safe on the play and Williams went to second.

Fl MURDERS ON
POLICE RECORDS
ARE UNSOLvED
0rme and MCGraiI Killing
Among Most Brutal
of Decade.

This Is the arst Of series Of three
stories on twenty-one unsolved murders
in indianapolis since Dec. 20. 1921
The Indianapolis times., 1931-10-09

A scream that pierced the still
darkness surrounding a little laun-
dry at 21O West Maryland street
the night of Dec. %, 1921, was heard
by no one
The sound faded in the distance.
One fact remained the next
morning-George Bang, a Chinese
laundryman, had been murdered.
His body was found in the cold
room. He had been strangled to
death and his head crushed with a
stove poker.
But his murderer never was
brought to justice.
None of Others
Neither have the murderers Of
twenty other persons in Indianap-
oils since the night George Bang
was slain
He is the only laundryman to be
slain. But there are others, a for
mer tennis star, several policemen,
and a doctor. all of whom probably
occupied higher pinnacles in life
and society than George Bang.
In going through the files at po-
lice headquarters The Times has
learned that sensational murder
cases Of their time nearly have been
forgotten.
And perhaps the slayers have for
gotten, too
At least, in these twenty-one
cases, no record exists to show that
the law has made any marked prog
re SIS toward their detection.
Shot Serving City
Those twenty-one cold-blooded
slayings are only part Of the muir
ders in less than a decade. Numer-
Gus Negro murders have occurred,
but only one is recorded in this
story; that of a policemen shot in
serving the city. =
After the Staying of George Bang,
there were no unsolved killings until
that night Of Nov 16, 1922, when
Hence Orme, noted amateur tennis
player, and girl companion were
faced with bandit guns in deserted
part of the road at Forty-sixth
street and Arlington avenue.
Crime stepped from one side of his
cas and the girl was ordered from
the other. In a struggle that
followed, Orme was shot through
lung. He died Nov. 18, 1922; his
slayer never was apprehended.
In the next year and half, four
other murders occurred that
stumped authorities.
Physician Shot Down
The most brutal of these was the
Staying Of DR.. Joseph McGrail,
prominent north side physician,
who was shot as he resisted hold
up at the corner of Washington
boulevard and Fifty-fourth streets,
May IA, 1924.
He had stepped from Meridian
Heights street car en- route to his
home a few blocks away Instead
of needing the gunmen's commands
to raise his hands, DR.. McGraill
resisted
The highwaymen shot him in the
stomach. The only cleW to the
murderer was a revolver found in
a sewer near the scene.
The other murders were marked
for the calm and brutal manner in
which they were perpetrated.
John Reinert, manager of the
Allied Coal and Material Company,
entered the firms office in the 2100
block Northwestern avenue, Jan. %,
1924. He was murdered by two
Negro bandits who shot him in the
back.
Other slayings in that eighteen
month period were those of Robert
Watson, 10. a high school pupil, who
was stabbed in the neck by a boy
companion Oct. 16, 1923, and patrol
man William Whitfield, Negro, who
was shot in running gun battle
with a bandit suspect June %, 1924,
while the officer was on duty.
He lived four months before the
wounds proved fatal.
In those months, his assailantS
we're not caught and never have
been.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
NINNIE LIGIiINIER A RIOT IN NEW COMEDY "GOLD
 DUST GEEsTIE"' AT STATE

One of the most hilarious come d.es of the year is now playing at Warner Bros state theater. Laughs are thicker than rice in China, when the dynamic Winnie Lightner goes into action, aided and abettcd by those clowns of clowns, Olsen and Johnson. The picture is "Gold Dust Gortie," and is an excuse for these supreme laugh pedlars to parade their wares on the silver sheet.
 The picture which gives ever evi- dence of breaking all laugh records for this season is the story of mat1l- monial tanglcs, bathing suits, new and old, two men married to twin sisters, a bathing suit model who wants to marry her boss, who hates divorcees-and there you have it, entirely devoid of sense or rcason- who wants sense or reason in Win nie Lightner picture?
 Needless to say there are many complications, a good old-fashioned comedy chase, some very beautiful girls clad in the newest bathing suits, a brand new line of LiShtner comedy and plenty of the hokum that olsen and Johnson have be- come famous for.
 Since Winnie Lightner made "Gold Diggcrs of Broadway she has been an Al comedy bet for the screen, and her many fans will not be disappointed in this latest laugh epic of the tomboy of the talkies. With Olsen and Johnson, she pro- yides most of the merriment, but Claude Gillingwater, Dorothy Chris tie. Vivienne Oakland, SCharles Ju- dels, Virginia Sale and others help along with very clever character iZations.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the feature pie ture,

While Victor McLaglen and Ed mund Lowe are always at logger heads when they bury their identities to portray those two roiSterinG, fSht- ing, dame chasing leathernecks, '.Flagg" and "Quirt,' they are m accord with thes roles and thelr favorites and they love to play them

match, short jacket or a long one, depending on what you look best in.
 Ideal for the June bride is blue jay blue costume. the blue satin dress fitting beautifully to the young figure, cut effectively to point up to high waistline and designed to need no belt to complete it.
 It has a little dickie of real Alen- con lace in natural tan behind a trio of smart bows of the satin. and the rather wide and low plain neckline is most hattcring to fresh young S.;in.
 The jacket has onc-sided long scarf banded in summer crmine and the other side finished with one pointed revere and a place ideal for wearing a real gardenia or beige orchid There are wide bands of the summer ermine above the wrists. around the sleeves that fit in that tailored manner that is so luxurious.
 The little hat is by Le Monnier in the same color as the suit. The bag and opera pumps, with the neat lit tied jewelled buckles, are made of the crepe side of the suits satin.

As the detective explained that Sybil had talked in' her delirium and admitted, when questioned, that it had been at Clifford's suggestion that she had started to take money from the bank, the Becker living room grew very quiet. The stiffness suddenly glowed as thought a cur rent had been turned on. Electric, vibrant. Each person in the room wanted to ask questions. No one wanted to break the spell of the slow, easy voice, however, as it talked on with such metallic strength under the flow of words.
 Well, Becker, shall we put on the bracelets or will you come along without decorations?
 You mean I'm going to jail?" Clifford asked.
 "The county hotel" The man nodded. "I can think of several places which might have better accommodations for guests, but we usually keep fairly well filed" She stepped to the door and motioned to two more detectives who entered quietly.
 I'm sorry to interfere with your privacy, Mrs Becker" he said, but it can't be helped this time." 'I I don't want to see any more" Corrinne said. Will you excuse me? I'll ask the cook to put enough places on the table for all of us.' She slipped away. And Sarah, remembering that she was the one who had coaxed Clifford to come to this house and had promoted the scent, wondered if he would try some day to take out his wrath on her. She couldn't see anyone start away ndcuffed. She excused herself and slipped out of another rear door.
 Sue, relentless, watching with a fascination that was as torturing as it was relentless, had a sudden sense Of pity for Harry. He had been very splendid to her family. This dishonor would reflect on his own family. The sting had been remov- ed from the Merryman household and fastened on the Becker menagc. Life was queer. No one knew what cards the wheel of fate would toss up or when they would come. But sooner, or later, you would bank on it, the wheel played fair in the end.
 | The proud Lester family would have a hopeless case to plead. He i couldn't hold his aristocratic old head quite so high.
 But Jack, eager determined, en- thusiastic, had carried off the laurels. He had sacrificed his ca | rcer with his father to help Sues 1 father. And he had won his spurs. He had gone into the court to fight for her, Sue reflected, just as truly as any knight in crimson and gold story y-book ever climbed a glass story book ever climbed a glass hill or killed a dragon for q princess in a tower.
 And while her idle thought unused on, and her fascinated eyes watched Clifford, sudden shot shattered the stiffness. Quick, sharp. A blur of smoke, She could almost feel the whiZ of the bullet, although it came from somewhere beyond the entrance hall into which the detectives had stepped with Clifford,

5LORIFYING YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
@Io5I BY NEA 5ERVlCE INC.

| If you have a normal skin, cherish lit.
 Economize, if you must, on the clothes you wear and the entertain
 ment you enjoy. But remember that the best beauty preparations in the world are none too good for d normal skin.
 First of all. you should use q quick melting cleansing cream on d normal skin, not Il heavy one. Get
 one of these that liquifies the min
 ute it touches the warmth of your face, or even your hands as you put lit on.
 Work this cleanser into your Iskin, with soft, light strokes, using special care around the nose anu on the chin for these are places where the skin is oiliest and the most dirt adheres.
 Wipe off all this cleanser with q
 soft cloth or tissue. Then wash your face with tepid water and soap. There are dozens and dozens of good facial soaps. Your choice Is your own business. Personally, l feel there is nothing like the bland caress or the best quality of castile. It IS what is preferred for babies To be sure II uOcSI | Slllcll fS IldS ail "S roses or as fresh as lavender. But 1t takes the dirt off without drying the skin, which is more than sweet smells to the intelligent woman.
 After washing the face, 1t is q good thing to use a little clarifying cream. Even that lovely normal skin of yours may have tendency to slight discolorations once in while and this will take care of that. After creaminG your face with this clarifying cream, use braclng To- ion of some good brand. This tones
 ID the skin and stimulates it. And
 t also closes the pores and elim- mates any excess fat your creams
 nay have fed your skin.
 You are not likely to need pow der base of cream if your skin. IS
 normal. But if in doubt, use one. ,or there is no way so satisfactory to preserve a makeup that is work uf art as to build it on the firm toun- dation of a good basic cream.
 am asked constantly how often YOU should give your skin such treat ment as I have just outlined for the normal skin. Morning and night you should squeeze in time enough for bcautifying. If not both times, nights are the preferred. You have more time. You will be more careful. And if YOU have the good fortune to have n beautiful skin. it would he fool ish indeed not to preserve 1t.
