Wounded ACCompIice Near
Death After Attempt
to Rob Store.

In city hospital this morning a
bandit is near death, while his
youthful companion lies in city
morgue, having paid the price of
crime in short, bloody battle in a
grocery they attempted to rob Mon
day night.
Identity Of the dead boy, about 19,
still is incomplete. The wounded
man, who says he is Paul Keifer,
35, New York, told police the youth
lived in Detroit, and said his last
name was Nichols.
Keifer has two bullet wounds and
stab wound in the abdomen, and
physicians say he probably will die.
Nichols was killed and Keifer
wounded by Joseph GloSson, pro-
prietor of the grocery and meat mar
ket at S09 Ft. Wayne avenue, whose
wife saw them binding her son,
Richard Estride, II, with adhesive
tape in a rear room. The family
lives above the store.
Voices of her son and the strang-
ers in the rear room attracted her,
and peering through trap door she
witnessed the robbery attempt.
GlosSon seized q gun and ran
down the front stairs into the store.
Nichols jammed a water pistol into
the grocer's stomach, but Glosson
fired, hitting Nichols in the fore
head.
He shot twice again as Keifer
lunged at him, and Estridge, slash
ing the tape from his ankles with
a butcher knife, joined the melee.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Glosson called
Harry Miller, merchant policeman,
who entered the store. AS Keifer
wrested the pistol from Glosson,
Miller struck the bandit with a
blackjack. Blossoms fingers we're
torn as the gun was jerked from
his hand.

The Last
Word IN
Fashion

TUE TIMES has engaged Amos
Il Parrish, nationally recognized
fashion authority, to direct daily
feature articles on fashion subjects
under the heading, What's in
Fashion," The articles, starting
Monday, Feb. 9, will appear in The
Times exclusively in indianapolis
Amos Parrish has been known for
years as a pioneer in studying and
analyzing changes and fashion
trends. His organization in New
York and Paris has developed sci
entiflc methods Of forecasting fash
ions months in advance.
The forecasts made by the Amos
Parrish organization are based on
methods of fashion analysis intro
duced into hundreds of department
stores, speciality shops and other
retail, wholesale and manufactur-
ing concerns by Amos Parrish and
his associates.
THERE'S nothing high brow or
Il high hat about the articles.
They're written simply and clearly.
They're fully illustrated. They
tell the facts about the fashions
that interest you most, the fash
ions that have the greatest ac-
ceptance. They're not hard to
read. You read them and you
understand them. And you know
what fashion is all about. And
how it gets that way.
There's no longer any mystery
about fashion after you read and
follow the Whats in Fashion,"
articles.
In his articles, Mr.. Parrish not
only will interpret the present
fashions, but will forecast the new
themes and trends and predict
what will be the fashions in the
future.
Fashion has become an i'm
portant factor in modern life, =
says Mr.. Parrish. mo longer is
it a matter of interest only to a
few. Now every one wants to know
about fashion and be in fashion.
"ENASHION no longer is high
Il priced. The most inexpensive
things can be correct in fashion
details. Things are produced
easier, faster-and this means pro-
duction helps make more fash
ions and new fashions-and
quicker changing fashions"
In the Whats in Fashion," ar
ticles, Amos Parrish will report
the correct fashions not only in
women's and mems apparel and
costume accessories, but also in
furniture and home furnishing
and In other phases Of modern life.
There are fashions in foods, in
newspapers, magazines, books, au-
tomobiles, kitchen utensils, table
linens-in fact, in almost every
thing sold in stores. The public
wants fashions and refuses things
that are out of fashion. That's
why people now want to know
what's in fashion, as guide to
their buying" he declares.

Turns Down Proposals

BV United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-General
Frank T. Hines, head of the United
States veterans bureau, testifying
before the senate finance commit
tee today, refused to indorse any
of the four plans for readjustlng
veterans compensation which have
been suggested to congress.
MY best advice is" he said, that
congress should give consideration
to further extension of benefits to
the disabled, to widows and orphans
of service men, and to the building
of additional hospitals and soldiers
homes to care for the sick and leave
able bodied ex-service men to take
their places along with other citi-
zens of the country in working out
their own salvation in these dis
tressing times"
Hines enumerated the four plans
as:
Payment OF face value Of adj
justed service certificates.
Payment of the present value of
adjusted service certificates.
Payment of adjusted service
credits, plus 25 per cent. and plus
4 per cent interest to the present
time.
Increased loans.
Undoubtedly from a financial
standpoint the least costly and
therefore from that standpoint the
best, would be the fourth plan" he
said, namely, that to increase the
loan values on the certificates. How
ever, it would not be sound to in
crease to any great extent the
present loan value, and, in my opin-
ion, slight increase would be OF
little benefit"
THE first three plans mentioned
while providing a real measure of
cash relief, are, according to the
secretary of the treasury and other
financial experts, unsound from a
financial and economic standpoint.

PROPOSED CHANGE
| APPROVED BY HINES
Veterans Head, However, Says De-
/: tails of Decentralization Must
Be Worked Out.

Further decentralization of certain
activities of the central Office of the
veterans administration to field Offices
has been approved lin principle" by
Gen. Frank T. Hines, administrator
of veterans affairs, who explained,
however, that such decentralization
would have to be worked out slowly,
carefully and lin keeping with the con-
dition of work.
Gen. Hines said the plan had been
discussed at the recent conference of
regional managers of the veterans adj
ministration here. The activities which
may be decentralized include the adj
judication of claims for benefits due
dependents or other beneficiaries upon
the death of the veteran.
How the program would affect the
personnel here in Washington was not
exactly clear, but it was explained
that for the present at least, there
will be no dismissals, nor transfers OF
personnel to the field. There was some
indication that it might be possible to
effect the entire program without the
dismissal of any one, as some of the
central Office work here might be able
to absorb personnel taken off of the
work decentralized from here to the
