How One Woman
Lost 10 Lbs. in a Week

Mrs. Betty Luedeke of Dayton writes:
4 am using Kruschen to reduce weight
i lost 10 pounds in one week and
cannot say too much to recommend it.
To take off fat easily, SAFELY and
HARMLESSLY-take one half tea
spoonful Of Kruschen in glass of hot
water in the morning before breakfast
it is the safe way to lose unsightly
fat and one bottle that lasts weeks
costs but trifle. Get it at the Public
Drug Store or any drugstore in Amer
lea. II this first bottle fails to convince
you this is the safest way to lose fat
money back.
But be sure and get Kruschen Salts
limitations are numerous and you must
safeguard your health.

too early to count noses as many dele
gates have not yet been selected.

With practically every worthwhile
agency bending its energies to aid eco
nomic recovery, the natural query
arises who and what is holding the
boat back" A survey Of reliable opin-
ion indicates the bankers are dragging
Congress, to the surprise of its critics,
has given it; best thought and side
stepped partisan matters to provide es-
sential aid. Industrial and commercial
groups have pulled manfully at the
oar. The banker, on the other hand,
once respected whether deservingly or
not as fount of business wisdom, has
steadily lost ground with the public.
1t seems that the banker has fallen
from the high pedestal he occupied in
various communities and is blamed for
the depression. OF course, it is unfair
to the average banker to lay this re-
sponsibility at his door but the public
is not inclined to delve deeper into un-
DERIVING causes. The inescapable fact
remains-no withdrawing campaign or
general business recovery will succeed
until bankers see the light and re-
establish public confidence in the
banker as a business counsellor
Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican
of Connecticut is undoubtedly sin
cere advocate of the wet cause. Yet,
his laundering tactics in the face of
sound advice from other Senators Of
similar views undoubtedly helped the
"drys' more than all the best efforts Of
the Anti-Saloon League and kindred
bodies. Bingham has been styled as
"high-hat' by Senate colleagues. He
insisted on forcing test vote on an
insignificant measure at a time when
the vets were not in position to
muster their strength. His poor strategy
was regarded as the worst blow to the
modification program of many years.
Bingham has gained notoriety for his
ineptitude. 1t will be recalled that the
Senate officially reprimanded him for
breaking faith in smuggling a tariff
lobbyist into executive committee hear
ings. Obviously, the leaders do not en-
trust Bingham with much responsibility
for important bills.

MAGAZINE BAN
HITS SOCIALISTS
Political Pressure Alleged in
Postal Order.

By nited Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-The Social
list party charged Friday that postal
authorities at Washington have pre-
vented circulation of the party's
national campaign magazine by
raising technical objections of a
completely extranecus character"
Party leaders said they had been
led to suspect that the magazine
was being denied second-class mail
ing rights because it attacked
President Hoover and his policies.
An open protest against the delay
was issued at Socialist national
campaign headquarters after Ed
ward Leyinson, editor of Norman
Thomas magazine, America for
All" reported that he was unable
to get this publication admitted to
the mails.
Application was filed early in
August" LevinSon said, land all re-
quirements were met"
On Aug. 18, he said, the postoffice
department asked him again to
submit his original orders and evil
dence that all copies sold in bulk
were actually resold.
Several other technical" delays
have since occurred, Levinson said.

AL LIKELY To
BREAK SILENCE
ON VOTE RACE
Harmony Note Expected to
Be Sounded by Smith In
Sunday Statement.

By Hifed Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Alfred
E. Smith is about to break his ST.
lence, which has disturbed Demo-
cratic leaders and has delighted
Republicans, in public statement
which party leaders believe will
sound a harmony note.
Democrats have reason to expect
that this statement, which prob
ably will be made Sunday, will line
up Smith solidly behind the Roose-
Welt forces in New York state and
against Ex-Mayor Jimmy Walker of
New York City, and such 1ammany
support as still clings to Walker.
Thus his announcement would
have the effect of healing the party
rift due to the GOODNESS between
Roosevelt and himself, and, at the
same time, minimize the Walker
affair as a source of trouble in
New York.
Smith was moved to break his
long silence, it was learned today,
by a group of leading Democrats
who conferred with him last Sun
day. They included mutual friends
of himself and Roosevelt.

ANTS REVERSE SYSTEM
Find Way Home Through Maze
With Food in Experiment.

BIZ Science SerCtce
ITHACA, N. Y, Sept. 10.-When
psychologists want to test the in
telligence of an animal, they wait
until he is hungry and then see
how quickly and we'll he can learn
to find his way through maze at
the end of which lies the coveted
food.
That is, this method works with
ants, DR.. T. G. Schneirla of New
York university, reported to psy-
biologists here at the meeting of the
American Psychological Association.
DR.. Schneirla gave a standard
maze problem to two groups of ants
in two ways. The first lot learned
the maze in successive trips, I'M
laden, from the nest to a food-place.
The others learned it in a series of
trips laden with food, from the food
place to the nest.
The latter group learned the maze
more efficiently and in fewer trips
than did those going toward their
food.

SHIPPING TREND
UPWARD HERE,
SAY OFFICIALS
Industrial and Commercial
Firms See Business Gain,
Is Conclusion.

Business of local freight express
firms is increasingly on the move,
literally and figuratively officials of
railway and trucking organizations
said today
Increases in shipments handled
by the Indianapolis Offices of the
companies can not be laid to
seasonal trends, but are regarded
as definite indication that CONNER
cial and industrial organizations
are planning for more business this
fall.
we have handled numerous
shipments of blue-prints and pat
terms. said j. w. Dill, general
agent OF the Railway Express
Company, which represents all
railroads in the country with excep-
ton of some southern routes.
Going Out After Business
The nature of these express ship
ments indicates that tool and ma
chinery companies are going out
after business and that there is a
demand for new equipment" Dill
asserted.
Express volume in the last two
months has shown increases be-
yond any anticipated squirt" he
added.
Trucking shipments are increasing,
according to Sam Smock, office
manager of the Old Trails Express
Company, Inc.
Gain Shown in Volume
Shipping volume in June, July
and August this year is much
larger than in the corresponding
period of 1891 Smock said. Han
ding less than carload shipments
the company recently has been car
rying shipments of bulk oil in con-
siderably larger volume than earlier
in the year"
Next month will show a large in
crease in the volume of shipments
handled by the Pacific fruit express
G. P. Burks, freight clerk, said. The
company is anticipating that grape
shipments from California will swell
October volume, Burks said.
According to estimates on the Pa
cific coast, approximately $4,000
car loads of fruit of all varieties will
be shipped east in the next twelve
months. A large proportion of the
cars will be handled and routed by
the local office, Burks said.

AUTO THEFTS DECREASE

Record of ReCOveries Now "a Per

Brightest spot in the fight against
criminal activity is the decrease in
automobile thefts and the record be-
ing made in the recovery of stolen
cars, according to Frank Hatfield,
president of the Hoosier Motor Club,
which is affiliated with the Amer

There were only 36.430 auto thefts
in seventy-two cities during the
first six months of 1882 as COM
pared with 43,836 thefts in the cor
responding 1881 period, Hatfield
pointed out. The record now on

States without requirements for

States that license operators OF
