CITES PROGRESS OF DRY
BUREAU
WOOdcOck, Marking Second
Anniversary, Praises The
Work OF Agents

The second anniversary Of
prohibition enforcement under
the Justice Department finds
Amos w. w. Woodcock, the di-
, rector, of the opinion that his
agents are doing an admitted
lily difficult task honestly, earn
estly and lawfully"
| He said Thursday that he
thought there has been vast
Improvement in morale, con-
duct, training and efficiency"
| in the Prohibition Bureaus
personnel.
Opinions differ as to tire re-
Suits" he added, "but believe
any fair study will show that
it has done an excellent job
with the resources available TO
it."
Woodcock' figures showed
that only ten per cent of the
persons tried for violations of
the prohibition law escaped
some punishment during the
first eleven months of this ifs
cal year. The bureau became
a part of the Justice Depart
ment July 1, 1880.
Arrests during the first lelev-
en- months were 82,242, COM
pared with 76,540 the previous
year. Criminal cases termi-
mated numbered 1852, with
66,268 convictions, of which
$751; were in Federal courts
and 10000 in State Courts.
During the 1930-31 fiscal year
convictions in Federal courts
totaled 1850 and in State
courts, 7,727.
II cannot give the results Of
the full years work." Wood
cock said, "but it is interesting
to note that in eleven months
of the year just ended the
bureau seized 1867 automo.
biles as against 1885 fof the
previous year; 23,764 stills
as against 1852; 1878 per-
manent injunctions were Isl
sued as against 6,42S and the
percentage of convictions in
Federal courts improved from,
$50 per cent to 1915. l think
the latter figure is not ap-
preached in any other branch
of criminal law.
''It is also interesting to note
that on June 80, 1880, there
were 21,820 prohibition cases
on the dockets of the Federal
courts, while on May 81, 1882,
in spite of the enormous in
crease activity, there were only
1926 cases remaining.
eve will turn back into the
Treasury this year about $780,
600 of our appropriation as
against about 100000 last
year. Fines imposed during
the eleven months OF this year

been in the lead, with tires that
actually were better than needed for
the cars.
The wonder is not that tires wear
out. but that they last so long. The
surface of a road may be compared
fairly to a grindstone, and the
weight of the car holds the tire
tread pretty closely to the grind
stone. That tires could be built to
stand 10000 or 10000 miles of such
contact is remarkable in itself.
Mileage Gain Claimed
Just now, in the case OF the Fisk
tires, the tiremakers appear to have
a product that at least is equal to
demands made upon it by the great
advance in car building, in the opin-
ion of Charles H. Franck, who sells
Fisk mileage tires at SAB East
Washington street.
Franck points out that the Fisk
tire gives a greater road contact
area than most tires by from 10 to
20 per cent, and that this in itself is
a big contribution both to safety and
durability.
This road contact, made through
a specially designed tread, acts
against any slipping and skidding,
the center rib design especially pre-
venting any lateral skid. The in
creased depth design Of the treads
gives longer nonskid mileage.
Tread Is Streamlined
Fisk full width streamline tread
principle of construction, with the
increased fiex area in the side wall,
permits greater air cushioning and
thereby gives additional riding COM
fort, Franck declares.
Faster pickup is another advan-
tage of the wide road grip. Special
heat-resisting compounds, the result
of Fisk experience Of forty years;
highest quality materials and expert
craftsmanship combine to give
Fisk tires perfect balance in wear
ing qualities and more satisfactory
service, patrons tell Franck.

apolis housewives. Mrs. Gray sums
them up in five points:
/. Iciere assures the best protec-
ton for food-an even cold temper
allure, proper humidity and air cir
culation, with all food odors carried
away.
2. Iciere provides the greatest re-
frigeration conveniences-ample ice
at all times, larger shelf area, easier
to keep clean, easier to find things
and to check up the food supply.
3. Iciere fits better into the kitch-
en- or other space. 1t takes little
floor room while supplying the max
imum in shelf space.
4. All these conveniences can be
enjoyed at surprisingly low
monthly cost, for Iciere soon pays
for itself in the conveniences it
brings. There are no service charges,
for there is nothing to get out of
order.
5. Convenient terms make Iciere
easy to obtain. A call or a message
over the telephone will bring full
information about this radical de-
parture in ice refrigeration

Course to Enable Employees
to Give Advice on
RefrigeratorS.

More than forty years contract
with the home managers demon
strated to the Polar Ice and Fuel
Company that handling Of ice in
the home is a subject on which ice
delivery men should have a thor
ough knowledge.
AS a result. the company main
tains a regular school for its en-
ployes at Polar headquarters, 1000
Northwestern avenue. Weekly sales
conferences are held under super
vision of Mrs. Harriet Gray, man
ager of the Polar refrigerator de-
partment.
Here the men are taught some
thing more than the usual courtesy
and helpfulness that mark all Polar
service men, and they learn how ice
should be handled for economical
results, why this thing and that
happens, and what the householder
should do to overcome it.
One of the mistaken beliefs of
housewives is the idea that they
conserve ice beneficially by wrap
ping it up in the refrigerator, Mrs.
Gray said. While they may add an
hour or two t9 the life of ice, it is
because it permits the refrigerator
to get warmer than it should for the
proper preservation of food.
1t is the melting of the ice that
supplies the refrigeration, and in a
well-built refrigerator ice will not
melt faster than is needed to keep
the temperature as low as required.
Polar employees are schooled in
the right methods of delivery serv-
ice, in proper refrigeration, the
rudiments of food chemistry, the
use Of ice for health, the proper To-
cation of the refrigerator and the
right methods for avoiding waste
of ice and labor.
Mrs. Gray has succeeded in max
ing enthusiasts Of the entire force
on the use of the Iciere refrigerator,
the speciality Of this company. Any
member of the delivery force can
tell Of the benefits of this rev prin-
ciple in home refrigeration.
These benefits of the Iciere have
been received favorably by Indian

Race Track
Helps Build
Better Cars

II all the information brought
out by the Indianapolis Speedway
race, May so, could be assembled.
it would be seen that this great
event has been one Of the most
effective forces in the promotion
OF motoring TO the place it occupies
today.
Certainly II the design Of car
has a weakness, 1t will be brought
out in the intensity Of the 500
mile race at top speed. No greater
test OF the stamina and effective
ness Of the machine could be de-
vised.
Thus the comparative safety Of
the car Of today has been developed
largely by this race. The ability
Of the stock models used TO de-
liver their best for 500 miles at a
stretch in itself is a certificate Of
strength and safety for the use Of
the many thousands who buy cars
with no intention ever Of subject
ing them to top speed.
In line with this. too. has been
the great publicity brought TO
manufacturers by success Of their
cars. Winning of place in this
race always has been a deciding
factor in the sale Of thousands of
cars.
T. E. (Pop) Myers, Speedway
general manager. expects this years
event to oVershadow all previous
records in attendance and in
speed.
The advance sales Of seats, COM
ing from all over the country, has
shown that a larger number than
ever before are coming TO the city
to see this event, and the presence
OF so many drivers on the track in
training now points to an excep-
tionally thrilling and speedy race.
Myers urges local fans to make
their reservations as soon as pos
sible, because of the unusual num-
Der of reservations being sent in
from other points. He fears many

Well. better late than never.
Records reveal that four bills pro-

The same records recite the Gov
ernor's message 70 the legislature
and do not reveal that any pro-
posal along this line was included.

learned, did not get far with their
favorites.
The township trustees have
the most closeknit and strongest
lobby in the state. Composed of
1913 members their representatives
are present in the statehouse during
every legislative session.
And they are able to put on the
political pressure where it hurts, for
in most Of the governmental sub
divisions Of the state the trustee,
through the patronage he controls
in road and other construction, the
schools and poor relief, and pur-
chase Of supplies, is powerful

During the 1881 session, Represen-
tative William J. Black Of Anderson
introduced bill repeating the three
mile gravel road law, which has in
creased materially the tax burden in
almost every county in the state and
has resulted in numerous other
abuses and extravagances at the
public cost.
The bill had a hectic career. On
first reading, it was referred to the
committee on roads, which got into
tangle after the trustees lobby
got busy, and so the members asked
that it. be sent to the committee
on county and township business.
After lingering there for some
time, the same influences went to
work and the committee asked that
it be relieved of responsibility, and
the bill was sent back TO the roads
group.
On Feb. 10, almost a month after
introduction of the bill, a majority
Of the committee recommended
some changes be made, and that it
be passed, but Representative Rus
sell j. Dean brought out a report
signed by himself alone, asking
that the bill be killed through in
definite postponement.
Deans recommendation was car
ried, 51-39, and the reform measure
was killed.

not wasted its time.

Indianapolis police today were at
tempting to aid Nation Qll) au-

He was described as a man Of
about middle age and had the

on his chest, with three stars.
Although an improvident tran
sient, he did not appear to be a
"bum," according to Coroner F. F.

autopsy.
