Among interesting developments
in Indiana business and industry
during the week ended today was
prediction of o. A. Klamer, Evans
vile, president of the National Fur
niture Manufacturers Association.
that Indiana plants will doubtless
experience a revival of business
due to action of manufacturers in
the south in increasing prices effec-
tive Tuesday.
Indiana manufacturers, Klamer
points out, have been unable to
compete with those in the south,
due to low prices in that section.
Activity is being renewed in the
brick industry in the Brazil section.

pany has re-opened it's plant after

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3O.-Winnie
Ruth Judd was speeding to Phoenix
today to face charges that she muir
dered her two best girl friends.
An automobile, loaded with Arr
IONA and California officials and
trailed by half a dozen press cars,
was bearing her back to the city
where she is alleged to have killed
Mrs. Agnes LIE Roi and Miss He'd
Wig Samuelson.
Her return to Phoenix started
Thursday night, almost two weeks
from the time authorities claim she
shot and killed her former room
mates.
Mrs. Judd appeared frail and i'll
as she climbed into the car of
Sheriff James McFadden of Phoe-
nix, for the journey.
Already tubercular, Mrs. Judd
showed the strain of the last two
weeks. She seemed worn to the
point of being bored and submitted
to photographers only on the in
sistence of Sheriff McFadden.
Sheriff McFadden said he eX-
pected to make the trip to Phoenix
in from ten to twelve hours. Stops
en- route were scheduled only for
fuel and sandwiches.
Before she left, Mrs. Judd con-
ferred for two hours with her new
attorney, Paul Schenck.
He advised her to say nothing to
any one about the slayings and told
her he would be in Phoenix at her
preliminary hearing. This hearing,
according to agreement with Lloyd
Andrews, Maricopa county attorney,
will be held in a week or ten days.

and great determination. a young
brother was appointed to mix NOR
tar for the solitary builder, and one
by one other brothers were assigned

At no time, however, have more
than six monks been available.
Since no appeal has been made for
funds and no money ever paid for
wages it has necessarily taken a
long time to build the monastery.
As time went on the monks work
ing with white aprons over their
robes, became expert masons, car
penters and decorators. They de-
cided to install an electrical lighting
system, so one brother studied books
on electric engineering until he was
able to build the dynamos and other

LOVER OF TODAY
A "GOLD DIGGER"?
Would Seem So, if This
Story Is True.

Where the etesian winds blow over
the Egyptian sea, at the port of Alex
andria, all is not well and true love,
which never runs smoothly, is having
its dfficulties-because England went
off the gold standard.
AS the story goes, a young Egyp-
tian was strOlling along the shore of
the Lake Marcia, fed by waters Of
the Nile, his ladylove by his side
They were to be married and the
young man was happy in the knowl-
edge that the girls father had set
tied upon her a dowry of 800 Egyp-
tian argenteus, coin kindred to the
British pound sterling.
With this siZable fortune. the young
lovers planned to wing their way on
honeymoon into the cinnamon
country, through the Arabian gulf.
While booking passage, next day, the
young gallant came across the latest
news from England, brought in on a
frelghter, announcing the suspension
Of the gold standard. Immediately,
his prospective father-in-law was ap-
prised of the fact that there would
be no wedding unless the ante was
boosted to f700. Otherwise, the girl
would be left waiting at the temple.
Now here is rigid departure from
the standards Of old, when the
Rameses presided over the destinies
of Egypt. Then, lover laid before
his lady's feet heaps of incense, resin,
and ebony, and pure ivory. and gold

with tesep wood, and the cassiabark,
aham incense and mestamkohl, with
the skins of leopards from the
north, apes and monkeys, and a jug
of wine; but these things happened
before the days of the Egyptian min
ers, the gold-diggers.
At that time, as it is taken from
the "oldest book in the world" writ
ten on papyruS, man bothered him
self not about dowry from his wife's
parents, but undertook to provide for
the lady, to wit: Take care of thy

Ashburton, England.-The great

Devonshire valley, have been rear

century. Virtually unaided, they
have rebuilt it in all its former de-
tail, and next August it is to be con-
secrated.
The abbey is a magnificent gray
and yellow stone structure. Only
the crumbling central tower and the
foundation remained when in 1905
the monks decided to restore it. AL
though none of them had any knowl-
edge of construction work, they were
determined to do their work without
outside help.

He told of MOscow's hopes for

inner councils of the 1925 conven-
tiOn of the Communist party of Can

At this 1925 convention, he said,
one Moriarity was the delegate from
the COmmunistic International head
quarters at Moscow. Moriarity, he
said, reported that since the pre-

This Moscow commission, Leopold
explained, had consisted of members

Leopold introduced and identified
literal trunk load of COmmunistic
literature and communications which
had figured in one way and another
in Canadian Communistic activities,
and in the relations of the Canadian
party with its Moscow directing
heads.
One of the interesting revela-
tions was the code system used by
the party. 1t was a cipher code, he
said, based on a certain page in a
recognized publication of the party.

were indicated as, for instance, the

pairs of scowling eyes glared at
him from the prisoners dock as he
relentlessly barred the secrets of

revealed the secret names by which
individuals were designated in
party communications.
The pretentiOus aspirations of the
Communist element, involving Cana
dian break with the British empire
and Red revolt in the mining and
industrial centers of the Dominion,
reveal for the first time the reasons
for the anxiety of the Dominion
government in strengthening Cana

the Bennett government at the last
session of the Canadian parliament
took onto itself virtually autocrat-

1t is highly significant that the
