Many Given Opportunity to
Win Honor in Campaign
This Month.

One of the main sources of
growth in a fraternal life insurance
organization like the Ben Hur Life
Association of Charlottesville, is as
sistance of its own members in
securing new members. Belonging
to local lodges in their own COM
munities, where they find oppor-
tunity for social contact, they natur-
ally want their friends to be with
them.
To give proper recognition to
those members who thus are active
in building their lodges, the Ben
Hur Life Association just has an
nounced what is to be known as
THE Presidents Club" admission to
which will be the highest honor
open to the member.
To qualify for THE Presidents
club, a member will secure at least
one new adult member in each of
six successive months. If at the
end of the siX-month period all
these new members still are in good
standing, the one securing them, or
assisting the field representative to
do so, will be awarded the hand
some gold emblem of the club in
dicative of the service rendered the
society.
August is a most appropriate
month in which to start this club,
because it is the birth month of
President John C. Snyder and all
over the country members and field
workers are joining forces to secure
an extra large amount of new life
insurance and as many new mem
bers as possible.
They are expecting to break rec

COUNCIL PLAN
is ADOPTED BY
TRAM WORKERS
Employees Will Meet With
Management on Street
Railway Problems.
BY ]. ]. BEDLOW

Employees and management of the
Indianapolis Railways have COM
pleted an employees representation
plan that is expected to be helpful
in the efforts of the company and
its workers to give improved trans
portation here.
The plan was drawn up by a
committee of eleven representing
the employees of different depart
ments and a committee of equal
numbers representing the manage
ment, and adopted by a vote of BAL
to 3O5.
Employed members of the COM
mittee which drew up the plan were
Herman Campton, Mclean barn;
R. Deakyne, power department; Jo-
seph Doyle, track department; Ru-
dolph Geisler, Louisiana barn;
James Green, West Washington
barn; Thomas Griffing, general of
flee; Joseph Morsch, Highland
barn; j. Merl, bus mechanics;
Clyde Murphy, inspection depart
ment; Dorsey Primm, bus drivers
and William Russell, shops.
The plan provides for a series of
councils, one for each department
with equal representation of the
employees and the management
and a general council constituted
the same way. Regular meetings
will be held, in which. whatever
pertains to the good of the men OF
of the company will be open to dis
cussion.
The plan provides for discussion
and settlement of all working con-
ditions, hours and wage rates, il
which agreements will be sought il
the councils, with an appeal t.
arbitration if that should be neces-
Sary.
Comprehensive in it's scope, the
plan should do much to enlist the
combined efforts of all connected
with the system in bettering both
the service and the working condi-
tons, and in the bylaws governing
the plan provision seems to have
been made for the amicable settle
mentS of all difficulties and for g
clearer understanding of all prob
lens of operation.

Hardy Times
Hundreds Fewer Die This
Year in City Than in
Prosperous Days.
DERIODs of economic depres-

DERlODS OF economic depres-
Il sion have their advantages,
as we'll as disadvantages, it was
revealed today by perusal of
health board records.
In the first seven months this
year, the boards records show
there have been 362 fewer deaths
in Indianapolis than occurred in
the same period the preceding
year. This is a decrease of more
than fifty deaths month, equal
to nearly per cent.
The reason advanced by Dr.
Herman G. Morgan, city health
officer, for the decrease is more
conservative living on the part of
most citizens, less gastornomic ex-
cesSeS and more leisurely life,
due to the depression.
The total number of deaths this
year up tue Aug. was 1850,
compared with 1912 for the first
seven months of 1881.
Fewer deaths occurred in July,
1856, than in any other month this
year. Greatest number of deaths
occurred in March, 485.
There is nothing new in the
situation" DR.. Morgan said, las
history reveals that health con-
ditions always are better in times
of economic depression.

AUTOISTS SAVE
IN REPAIRS AT
DON herr CO.
Work on Cars Is Done in
WelI-Equipped Shop, by
Capable Men.

Motorists-some of them, at least
have learned economy in motor
repairs in the last two years. The
old idea of tearing down a car to
make a certain repair, restoring it,
and then driving a block away for
another repair, where the same
process was gone through, has
proved too costly for modern condi-
tionS.
When a car needs repair, the idea
of sending it to shop where all the
necessary work can be made by ex-
pert mechanics does save time and
money.
Place Well Equipped
The Don Herr Company, located
at Kentucky avenue and Maryland
street, has developed each depart
ment of repair work required on a
car into a segregated unit of eff
cheney and exactness.
Equipped with all the various
gauges and testing apparatus, it has
eliminated guesswork, and guaran-
tees to any one bringing car for
repairs 10 turn out q better job in
less time with the use of this latest
type equipment.
The Herr company has twenty
four-hour service and a town serv-
ice, so that the motorist who is in
trouble at any time of the day may
receive all attention he need at one
stop and be assured of expert work
on each part of the job.
Motorists Like Work
Don Herr, owner of the service
station, thinks it is far more econo-
mica to the motorist to put his car
into the hands of a responsible
"one-stop place" than to be fooled
by a small, unreliable concern do
ing little jobs without proper equip
ment Or knowledge.
A great many motorists agree witt.
him, and have their work done at
his place because of the satiSfac-
ton of knowing that when the Don
Herr station says car is running
right, it is.

FranCk and Son Point Out
Freedom From Accident,
Good Service.

Many of the large commercial
fleets of cars in indianapolis use
Fisk tires. According to Charles H.
Franck of Charles H. Franck & Son,
SAB East Washington street, dis
tributor for Fisk tires, this is due
to the safety and economy of the
Fisk.
He has been in business in this
location for almost twenty years,
and, being an observant man, has
studied particular points Of Fisk
tires to his satisfaction.
One of them is the freedom from
accident, due to the design OF the
tire. All members so are placed in
Fisk tires that the full width OF
the tread, even to the outermost
buttressed edges, exerts uniform
pressure intensity against the road
The entire tread design of Fisk
tire grips the road p all times.
A second point, Franck believes
adds much to the superiority of this
tire. It is the all cord process, in
which each cord is surrounded by
rubber. Reduction Of internal
friction and greater strength in the
carcass are accomplished by this.
Width of the tread is a powerful
deterrent against skidding and q
great aid 70 traction. Strength Of
the carcass prevents road injury ano
blowoutS.
These are good reasons for FISK
no doubt. But at the heart OF the
matter is the service Franck and his
son Bill give to patrons.
On the job regularly, giving close
attention to details, both OF the
Francks are vel liked by both the
commercial and passenger trade
and in either the wholeSaling o.
Fisk tires over the countie:
surrounding indianapolis or the re-
failing. customers receive prompt
courteous and efficient attention a
all times and under all circum'
stances.

SEATTLE WET
To No AVAIL

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 80
G.N.S0.-Seattle was wet today,
as wet as a city can be under
the Federal laws, and there was
plenty of whisky on hand, too,
but like "the ancient mariner
who had water, water every.
where" there wasn't a drop to
drink, due to red tape.
Seattle today has no State nor
city law to prevent sale Of
liquor, as the repeal of ordinances
became effective at midnight,
and hopeful thirsty ones had
developed colds so they could get
a wee drappie under the medici-
nal sales provisions Of the Vol.
stead Act, but
The office of Roy C. Lyle,
supervisor of industrial alcohol,
was so tangled up in red tape
and showed under by applica-
tions that he has been unable to
issue a single permit to doctors
to write prescriptions or to drug
gists allowing sales.
Lyle "hoped" he could get the
druggists permits by today and
the doctors by Saturday. Mean
while, the legal whisky which
arrived Wednesday is carefully
locked UP in warehouses.

FIGHT To PASS
FILIPINO BILL
OVER VETO
Foes of Measure Confident
They Can Block 1t In Senate;
Hoover Rejection Likely

Backers of the Philippine inde-
pendence bill today prepared for
drive to pass the measure over
the anticipated presidential veto.
The overwhelming vote in the
House on original passage and in
approval Of the conference re-
port yesterday, I'll to is. indi-
Gated the necessary two-thirds
majority to overcome a veto
could be obtained in that body.
Foes of the bill, however, felt
certain that they could halt it in
the Senate.
Veto Likely
Although President Hoover has
given no direct word, it is gen.
orally expected that he will apply
the veto when he returns from
Florida. The measure has been
severely criticized by Administra-
ton sources.
Approval Of the conference re-
port in the House late yester-
day was without roll-call. The
strategy of Republican leaders,
it was understood, was to reserve
their big fight to sustain a veto.
Under the measure as it goes
to the President, the islands
would be given their freedom 10
years after a constitution is
adopted. The constitution must
be submitted to the President
within two years.
Rejection Possible
Many opponents of the meas
ure believe the islands them
selves will reject independence.
If a constitution is not adopted
by the islands, the whole law
becomes imperative.
Dispatches received here told
of heavy selling of mining stock
in the island because of fear of
independence.

Japan Floods U. S.
With Inferior Bulbs

CHICAGO, Dec. 80 (U.S)-The
genius of Thomas A. Edison is
now being sold in the United
States to American citizens by a
group of foreign nations of which
Japan is the great individual
leader.
In excess of one-fourth of the
total electric light bulb market Of
this country already has been cap
tured by the foreign manufac'
turers who pay no taxes in this
country, and who pay only a
trifling IS per cent duty.
Foreign bulbs have made such
serious inroads this year that
many Of the American bulb max
ing plants are shutting down,
and the volume of imported
lamps is increasing each month.
The Chicago Herald and Ex-
aminer finds that these foreign
bulbs are pouring in from the
sweatShop factories of foreign
lands, bouncing lightly over our
tariff walls, sending American
laborers to the bread lines.
In fact it looks as If the figure
may be 150,000,OO0 foreign lamps
in 1888.
Some Of these lamps, rateo 20
burn 1000 hours, may last only
one-fifth of that time, and while
they do last they devour current

This story was substantiated by

Further indication that the

Roosevelt Supports
REORGANIZATION Move

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 80 G.N.S0
Without attempting to assume
"dictatorial powers" President
elect Roosevelt will move for
sweeping reorganization of the
F deral Government structure
when he takes office in March.
it was indicated today.
From close friends and ad-
viSers, it was learned the Presi-
dent-elect is in full accord with
announced plans of Democratic
leaders in Washington to attach
riders to appropriation measures
giving him blanket authority to
effect the reorganization.
Mr.. Roosevelt is also ready to
assume full responsibility for the
changes, it was said, and willing
to be a whipping boy" for Con-
gresS provided he is given such
blanket authority.
Free Rein Sought
In Roosevelt circles here, it was
felt the basis of the plan an
nounced by Washington leaders
really lay in suggestions made by
the PreSident-elect when he
visited the Capital recently to dis
cuSS the war debt problem with
President Hoover and Congress
Sional leaders.
Because of his own legislative
experience, it was said, the Gov.
ernor feels consolidation of Gov
ernment bureaus and activities is
necessary.
He also thinks Congress would
be relieved to have him bear the
burden of making the changes
and is said to have suggested his
willingness to take responsibility
provided Congress went along"
by giving him more or less free
rein.
New Tax Plan Seen
The President-elect'S favorable
attitude on Federal reorganization
is based largely on his belief that
it will prove an effective budget
balancing measure, friends said,
although he has reserved final de-
cision on his budget program.
The impression grew today that
Mr.. Roosevelt is working on a
substitute tax program which win
be ready shortly after the first
of the year and which may be
laid before Democratic leaders
shortly after.

Prospects Good as President
Puts Out for Deep-Sea
Sport Off Florida

SAIL FISH CLUB, PALM

President Hoover went fishing TO-
day, seeking the famous and
beautiful fighting sail fish in the
open sea just off Palm Beach.
With Capts. Herman Gray and
Walter Citizens, expert fishermen,
in charge, Mr.. Hoover and his
guests put out at a. m. from
Lake Worth, where the party
anchored for the night.
Prospects Are Good
Prospects were good for the
days sport since fishermen said
they haG "never seen 'em biting
so fast"
Today's expedition marked the
first. time the President has tried
any angling since a day or so
t.fter he left Savannah, Ca, at
the beginning of his cruise. a He
had no luck on these first two
attempts and decided to forego
small fry in favor of a speedy
trip southwark to sail and other
game fish grounds.
Mr.. Hoover plans to remain in
the vicinity of Palm Beach for
several days and may then move
southwark to fish off the Florida
keys before returning to Wash
ington.
Stuck in Mud Twice
Anchorage in Lake Worth was
made about p. m. last night
after a trying day for the navi-
gators of the Sequoia, on which
the President is travelling, and
her conveys.
Twice the little flotilla became

second time an hours churning
of mud and water was necessary
before the fishing fleet" could

Harry S. Guggenheim. Ameri-

to Palm Beach from Havana to
see the President, and was taken
aboard the Sequoia after she
anchored. He talked with Mr..

Bitter at Congress

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 30 GN.S.O
Although keenly disappointed,
Philippine leaders today greeted
with silence final approval by
the House Of the Philippine in
dependence bill, as such action
had been anticipated.
News that Congress had ap-
proved the bill was received on
the thirty-sixth anniversary of the
execution of Jose Rizal, cele-
brated Filipino hero, by a Span
ish firing squad.
Opponents of the independence
bill declared that Congress was
doing to 100000 Fllipinos what
the Spaniards did to one and de-
clared that in 1776 Americans
objected to taxation without rep
resentation, and today Filipinos
are objecting to separation with
out consideration"
