She Tells the Truth

It wasn't until the other aft
ernoon that I finally saw an
opportunity to beat the sys-
tenn, 1 was in a downtown Of
flee building on a visit to
Jesse MitteImann, master OF
art, letters and overcoats. I
said goodby to that estimable
gentleman. walked down the
corridor and rang the bell for
an elevator. A. woman was
standing near by-and my heart
bounced. No, you've got me
wrong again. 1t wasn't be-
cause she was beautiful. Not
by long shot. AS a matter
of fact, she was a woman in
her forties and, while her face
wouldn't stop a clock, it wasn't
a map that would make tine
time pass any more rapidly.
My heart bounced for the
plain and simple reason that
the lady was reading this col
umn.
1 imagine that I shouldn't
have acted as / did, but I
couldn't help myself. I saw
before me the perfect oppor-
tunity to fin d out what I
wanted to know.
Pardon me, madam" I said.
"Please don't think I'm start
ing a filtration, because that's
very far from my mind. I
wonder if you'd do me a great
favor?"
She held tightly to the pa
per and looked at me in a
most suspicious manner. I
smiled in a fashion that I con-
sidered very reaSsuring.
THAT elevator will be along
any day now," I told her, and
my question really means a
great deal to me. Wouldn't
you do me the favor Of an
swering it?"
This time she talked.
What do you want to know?"
she said.
! pointed to the paper.
Il couldn't help seeing the
fact that you were reading
Hellinger's column" 1 muir
INJURED. Il happen to be in
terested in that guys work, and
I'd like to get a real line on
him from some outsider. That's
why I spoke to you about it.
Just what do you think of
his column? Do you enjoy
reading it?"
She looked at me again. And
she evidently determined that
I was on the level about this
thing.
"WelI, mister" she replied,
"as long as you asked me so
nicely. I'll have to answer.
Whether ] enjoy it or not, 1
don't know. With me, it's q
habit"

Quiet Dissipation

Here is something that may
amuSe us: One of the strong

he was q speaker because that
would be a bad giveaWay-iS

hypocritical jackaSS visits a

stays for as long as three days
at a time-and he settled his
last bill for booze and DANES
with a check for $1,000. But
what a time he has for him.

Thus, when 1 hear a SNUG

PLYMOUTH man
TO URGE BANK
LAW REVISION
Representative : Elect Will
Seek Guarantee of
Deposits.

Revision of Indiana banking laws
to insure absolute guarantee of
deposits" is sought in a bill being
prepared for presentation in the
next legislature by Representative
Elect John r. jones DEM, Plym-
outh.
Jones, a member of the legislature
in 1913-1915, came to indianapolis
to confer with DR.. Charles Kettle
borough of The legislative reference
bureau, on the proposed measure.
During his earlier term in the gen.
eral assembly, Jones gained promi-
hence as sponsor of the original In
diana primary law.
THE change I want made is a de-
post guarantee law which will be to
the interest Of ALL" Jones said
Bankers would benefit as we'll as
depositors, since confidence in their
institutions would be restored"
Jones regarded the reported find
ings and recommendations of the
Indiana bank survey commission as
largely in the interest of bankers
1T seems to me that very otter
bankers stand in their own light,
he commented.
Financing of the guarantee woule
be through a small levy on banE
time deposits, under Jones plan
Details of his plan remain to bI
worked out, he said.

Many Entries Received in
Times Apollo Building
Competition.

Widespread interest in COM
petitive model airplane building
among both boys and girls in In
dianapolis is indicated by the
number Of models being entered in
the contest being sponsored by The
indianapolis Times and the Apollo
theater.
This contest is in connection with
the showing of "Air Mail" a Uni
versal picture featuring Ralph
Bellamy, Gloria Stuart, Lillian Bond,
Fat O'Brien, Slim Summerville, and
other noted screen players, starting
at the Apollo today.
The boy or girl winning first prize
will receive $40 in cash, second prize
S. and every contestant will receive
guest tickets to the Apollo theater.
All that any boy or girl has to. do
is to submit a model airplane to the
theater, with the name and address
tied securely to the entry. Another
feature in the contest that should
appeal to every boy and girl in The
city is that every plane entered will
be given to the Salvation Army
after the final judging and awarding
of prizes, for distribution among the
unfortunate children in indianapolis
whose Christmas promises to be one
of sadness.
All models entered in the contest
will be exhibited on the mezzanine
floor of the Apollo theater through
out the contest and the Judging,
which promises to last two weeks, as
the children are showing more in
terest each day, with more than
thirty planes already entered.
Air Mail" tells the story of the
unsung heroes to whom facing
death and danger is just another
part of the days work in the in
trepid duty of flying the government
mail.

The big parade Of Christmas trees
has started.
Although the parade is as big in
number as ever, the size Of the
marchers is reduced greatly this
year.
For that you can take the word
of Bill Johnson, who has been a
dealer in Christmas trees for many
years.
Il finally got a break" Johnson
says. AT my size, those tall trees
made it tough on me. But this year,
with the tree sizes less than in the
past, I can look any of them in
the eye"

trees this year will be about five
feet in height.

SERVE SELF
CITY LIBRARIES
Borrowers Are Own Clerks
Under New System.

Every public library borrower will
be his own librarian" under a new
'serve-self" system to be inaugu-
rated Monday by Librarian Luther
L. Dickerson.
Under the new plan, tested for the
last two years at the Broad Ripple
branch, borrowers will select their
own volumes, record the serial
numbers on their cards and in the
record sheet under the ear cover
of the volume, and then submit the
books and records to a verifying
clerk at the door as they leave.
The patrons will be expected to
submit for inspection not only books
they borrow, but also any other
books they may be carrying.
The new system is expected to
speed up the borrowing process and
release several members of the re-
duced library staff to aid in selec-
ton of technical volumes.
Dickerson said that while borrow
ing has increased 40 per cent in the
last two years and 100 per cent in

CIGARETS CAUSE
CANCER? YES,
NO, ARE REPLIES
Doctors Disagree on Tar
Effect in Fags; Don't
Smoke EN- Short.

~ Science Serpice
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Cigarets
are both blamed and exonerated Of
the charge Of causing cancer. in two
divergent articles made public in
the American Journal of Cancer,
issued here today.
DIR. William d. Mentally, assistant
clinical professor of medicine at
Iush Medical college, Chicago, holds
that the tar Of cigaret smoke con-
tains irritating substance which
could account for the recorded in
crease of cancer of the lung.
Or, Emil Bogen and his associate,
Russell N. LOOMS of Olive View,
Cal. contend that whatever cancer
producing effect the use Of tobacco
may have, it can not be ascribed to
the chemical effect of the tar in to-
bacco smoke or distillate.
Accounts for Cough
The tar of clgaret smoke, DR.. Nc
Eally found, contains nicotine, am
monia and other substances, all irri-
tating, which could account for
"cigaret cough" for chronic bron-
chitis Of the cigaret smoker, and
for a condition found in heavy
smokers known as leukoplakia, or
smokers tongue, or smokers
patches.
These irritating substances also
could account for the increase in
cancer of the lung which has been
recorded in recent years.
THE temperature is not an i'm
portant factor unless the cigaret is
burned down to the last centimeter,
when the hot smoke become more
irritating" DR.. McNally reported. A
centimere is less than half an inch.
Risk Is Seen
with a tarry residue Of 4.84 to
1928 per cent, a definite risk at
taches to the smoking of a cigaret,
especially since 6.56 to 11.58 per cent
may be absorbed or retained in the
body. Cigarets should not be
smoked too short, as the last two
centimeters retain most of the tar
and other products of incomplete
combustion"
DR.. McNally's report was based
partly on observations of other
Investigators and partly on his own
observations of the effect on rats
Of the water-soluble products from
the smoke of 100 ~cigarets.
These were sprayed into the
mouths of some rats, applied back
of the ear to others, and on shaved
spots on the backs of still others.

U. S. Runners Likely to Win
Only Olympic Sprint Races,
Says Barbuti, Star of 1923

Ben Eastman of Stanford is our
best prospect at the middle distances,
and he may come through, but he has
not had much experience
You will remember that as good a
quarter miller as Bud Spencer, also of
Stanford, did not even make the 400
meter team in 1928. The best he could
do was get on the relay squad.
MY main reason for thinking we
won't win these races, however, Is that
otner countries, especially England,
have better runners.
Il understand Douglas Lowe, winner
of the 800 in the last two Olympiads,
Is training for a comeback. You have
seen him run-and how! He's the
smoothest foot-racer I ever watched
and a grand sportsman, to boot. -.
Another great English runner is G..
H. Rampling, the quarter-miler, who
has been running close to world record
time. The Germans have some fine
quarter and half milers, too
"Ladoumegue, the Frenchman, has
broken world records for the quarter
mile and mile and he would be tough
to beat at the half. Sera Martin of
France has broken the 300 meter record
and will have to be figured on.
"As I see 1t, about the only Olympic
track and field events we can be fairly
hopeful of winning are the 100, 200,
high jump, pole vault, relays and high
hurdles. Last time we didn't win the
sprints or the hurdles"
Rampling Flashes Speed.
Speaking of Rampling, the British
quarter miller, it may be noted that this
runner was clocked in the phenomenal
time of 46 3-5 seconds for the last 400
meter leg OF 1,600-meter relay race
in which the British beat the Germans
at Cologne late last year.
The world record is At seconds, held
by Spencer of Stanford, and SO far as
know this is the first time any runner,
even in a relay, where he has the
benefit of galloping start, has ever
broken" that time.
Lord Burleigh ran on the same team
with Rampling. The British were
timed in BIAS, within a second of the
official world record set by an Ameri-
can all-star Olympic combination at
London in 1928.
