OLD RACKET is BACK
valuable Fur Scarf Fraud
Renewed Here.

The valuable fur scarf racket
has appeared again in Indianapolis,
according to T. M. Overley, man
ager of the Better Business Bureau.
Warning to citizens against pur-
chasing bargains" from truck
drivers and unknown peddlers was
issued today following investigation
of complaints lodged by several
victimized persons.
Scarfs of goatSkin, actually worth
only $40, have been purchased for
as high as $40 in the belief that the
scarfs were worth several times that
amount, Overley said.
Usual story accompanying the
sale is that the seller has delivered
shipment of valuable furs to an
other city and has obtained one of
the scarfs, and is willing to sell it
in order to get money for gasoline
on the return trip, Overley said.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Oct. Z.
The stories from Washing
ton about how faStidious is
Patrick j. Hurley, the secre-
tary of war, apparently are all
true.
Hurley was here last week
to make a speech. A news
paper photographer went out
to get his picture.
After one picture was taken
full length, about ten feet
away, the photographer adj
vanced to within half that dis
lance for a closeup. Hurley
protested, mildly but firmly,
saying the closeup from where
the photographer was stand
ing would make his chin look
too large.
At the same time. he stepped
back about two feet to get
farther from the camera. Hur-
ley said he knew from expert
ence with photographers else
where that a closeup made his
chin look too large.
The obliging photographer
changed his angle by perching
himself on the bumper of a
car and shooting down instead
of up at the war secretary's
face.

NEW MACHINE GUN is
BOON FOR INFANTRY
Swiss-Invented Weapon Effective
Against Tanks.
By Science Service

bV SCtCHCB SCfItCG
BERLIN, Oct. Infantry has
been given a single answer to the
double menace of tanks and low
flying "strafing" airplanes, in a new
heavy machine gun developed in
Switzerland.
The new weapon is mounted on
wheels like a field gun, and can be
fired from this mounting. But the
wheels can be removed and the trail
separated into three parts to form
a tripod. There are rings at the
ends of the tripod lags, through
which pins can be driven into the
ground, to hold the piece steadier
during firing.
In this position it can be used
either against ground targets or ele-
waited through all angles up to ver-
teal, for use agains' airplanes.
The caliber of the gun is two CEN
timeters, or about three-quarters of
an inch. 1t can use either solid
bullets, explosive bullets or tracer
ammunition It's extreme vertical
range is approximately 10000 feet,
and its effective range on the
ground is several miles.
It's heavy bullets will pierce the
armor of light tanks at 500 yards,
and can even penetrate the thinner
parts of the .armor of medium tanks.

Speedway OF II, One

according to resident on the
thoroughfare.
The charge was revealed today
by e. Kirk Mckinney, president of

OF the equipment and the charge
that the city's money was being
wasted in the purchase of the ma
chine, the board arranged for the
poll
Of sixty-one residents between
the 1900 block and Fifty-se second
street, only two complained against
the reconditioning Of the street,
Mckinney reported. The other
flfty-nine approved.
Included in the majority was the
resident who charged that the
smoother surface Of the street was
conducive TO speeding.
Buses Ride Easier
The complaints we're registered on
the grounds that the savings" from
the machine caused an unusual
amount of dirt.
Approval of the change is not
limited to motorists, according to
Mckinney, since a number, who do
not own automobiles, said they have
found buses ride easier.
The city is using the equipment
under the terms of an option agree
ment, according to Mckinney, and
the machine has not been pur-
chased.
A rental of 2 cents a square yard
of pavement is charged for the use,
in the event of purchase, the entire
amount of rental will be applied on
the price, he said.
