Meadow brings back pioneer days in the settlement of Kentucky by Virginians led by Daniel Boone. It reproduces exciting Indian fights and contains an absorbing love story. Among the old-time cus- toms the various players had to relearn for the film were making windows out of greased bearskin instead of glass, lighting fires with flint and steel, cooking meat on a spit revolving in an open hearth, molding bullets out of raw lead building houses with wooden pegs instead of nails, washing clothes with lye and ashes, weaving home spun cloth, running spinning wheel.
 The Easiess Way" famous Bel asco stage classic, when introduced on the stage by Frances Starr in 1909, created an international sen- sation, because it was the first play to hint even remotely that man could forgive a woman who had made a misstep. It was the first move for the abolition of the single standard in favor of the double standard of morality.
 It also did away with the starkly black villain of the old-time thea tre. Brockton, played by Adolphe Menjou, is no saint, but likewise he doesn't eat children alive.
 Modern and Successful
 He is very modern, very suc- cessful man. His villainy consists of tempting the beautiful Laura Murdock, played by Constance Bennett, with luxuries, jewels, mo- tor cars, etc.
 And then along comes Madison, portrayed by Robert Montgomery. He, too, has things in his life that he wants to forget. The struggle of Laura and Madison for their happinnes provides the dramatic motivation.
 "The Easiest Way was directed by Jack Conway In addition to the three principals named the cast in- cludes Anita Page, Marjorie Ram beau, J. Farrell Macdonald, Clara Blandick and Clark Gable.

COUNTY BOARD
POWDERS TAXES
Adjustment Group Meeting
to Review LevieS.

Hope of keeping the tax rate
within the $3.50 limit was in the
background today as the county tax
adjustment board met to review
levies of the civil city, school city
and county. The board was to be
organized at it's first session this
afternoon.
If the board can pare the bud
gets to last years level, it will ac-
compliSh huge task, board men,
bers indicated as they gathered at
the court house before the session.
This will mean SlaShing approx
imately ~ cents from the three
levies fixed by taxing officials of the
three units.
Largest cuts proposed by board
members will lie on the school and
city budgets. City officials in
creased their levy from $108 to $1.3O
and school officials raised the school
levy 8.T cents.
Board members indicated they
held little hope of greatly lowering
budget figures of the county council
Charles A. GrosSart, county auditor
and three councilmen are members
of the adjustment group. The 1888
county levy is 41.25 cents, or lit
higher than the current rate.
Among recommendations for low
ering the school budget is a pro-
posal to take one or two months
from the city school term. Another
proposal would limit the number of
school nurses employed by the city
health department.

TRICK RESTORES.
COFFIN POWER
Rule Is Changed to Give
Boss Control.
BY BEN STERN

Secretly, and with stringent in
functions not to divulge the act, the
Watson controlled Republican state
committee has abolished its Rule
157, in an effort to perpetuate Cof-
fin control of the Marion county
organization, it was learned today.
This action was taken several
months ago, but not revealed.
Because of this move, two anti
Coffin ward chairmen have not
been permitted to assume their
duties and the posts we're given to
faithful henchmen, the records re-
veal.
Rule 157, which provides that pre-
cinct committeeman and vice-com-
mitteemen shall approve the choice
of ward chairmen and requires that
each shall be resident of the ward
which he leads, was written into
the state Republican rules in 1880
after bitter factional fight.

Hugg, appointed district and coun-

the chagrin of the Coffinites.
But the change came too late,
George v. Coffin, local boss, caused
both Hugg and Taylor to be ousted
at the reorganization meeting and
elected Schuyler Haas, veteran cog
in his machine, as district chair
man, and Clyde Robinson as county
chairman for the 1880 campaign.
When the party went down to de-
feat under their leadership, the re-
spectacle wing of the organization
decided to fight the question out on
the basis of precinct committeeman
and carried majority in several
wards.
Coffin, it is learned, realized that

POONA, India, Sept. 26.-Mahat-
ma M. K. Gandhi abandoned his
fast unto death" today as vitality
ebbed steadily from the frail, brown
body he had staked against the
British settlement of midas COM
munal voting problem.
Physicians who attended the
mahatma said he still is in danger
of collapse or of suffering a stroke
of paralysis, as he entered the
danger zone" with very little fat
reserve, and was left living on mus
Gle.
British acceptance of an agreement
reached between caste Hindus and
"untouchables" ended Gandhi to
end his hunger strike.
Suffers Painting Spells
Doctors attending the mahatma
at Yerovda prison, where he lay on
a cot in the shade of mango tree
in the Jail yard, told Indian govern
ment officials that Gandhi's vitality
was at its lowest ebb since he ate his
last meal at noon last Tuesday.
Today was Gandhi's weekly day of
silence. He suffered from FREQUENT
periods of nausea and fainting
spells during the last stages of the
fast.
His wife rubbed his head with
olive oil to restore consciousness
when he tainted.
The scene at the Jail when
Gandhi ended his fast was dra:-

His wife prepared orange Juice
but he insisted on prayers first.
They also sang hymns, and then he

Presidents 'Stagger' Plan
to Allow Only Thirty

Benefits to workmen through the

NIT such laborers to earn more than
So a week, it Twas learned today.
Announcement of the federal ruiz
ing was made by Ralph Simpson,
assistant state highway director,
who on Saturday stated that 80
cents an hour would be the mini
mum wage for common labor.
The ruling limits the time of
single workman to thirty hours a
week on any state highway con-
struction in which the federal gov
erment shares the expense.
At the 3o-cent minimum, set by
the state highway commissioners
the federal ruling means that no

son explained.
Part of '"Stagger."
The thirty-hour provision is part
of President Hoover's plan to stag
ger employment.
Simpson also pointed out that
nearly all paving projects con-
templated for next spring and sum-
mer will be financed from the So
100000 special federal aid allotted
Indiana and the thirty-hour week
will apply.
Congress adjourned without APP
propriating the regular federal
aid and the 100000 must be abb
sorbed not later than Aug. /. With
the special session of the legislature
taking away half of the state
funds, this will be impossible Simp-
son said.
But plans are under way to let
about 100 miles in short projects
so that $1,OO0OO0 or more can be
absorbed by the end of July, he
declared.
Setting of a 3O-cent wage was
termed "a real step in advance"
and resulted from two-year fight
by The Times which eliminated in
action by the legislature.
Weiss Law Passed
Investigations disclosed that con-
tractors were paying common labor
at low as Is and 20 cents an hour
on state highway construction
work.
The special session passed the
Weiss law, ordering the highway
commissioners to write minimum
wage clauses into all contracts, the
wage to be based on that paid for
similar labor by the state.
Commissioners decided on uni
versal pay of 30 cents, but the fed
eral ruling again reduces the
workmen to starvation pay" it

It will make the contractors en-

Jack Doty
By NEA Serrice
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 26.-
1V1 Jack Doty, the oven man,
is back on his feet after sixteen
months, or exactly 489 days, of
torture and pain.
A black-haired six-footer, with
smile that dreary days of suffer-
ing couldn't erase, he's able to get
around on crutches now. And
he's confident that it won't be
long before he can go back to
work.
DotyS case is unusual in med
ical annals. Doctors literally had
to bake" a new coating of skin
on his back while he lay in an
electric oven here.
1t all began when he was burned
in an automobile accident on May
4, 1881. His entire back from his
feet to his neck was scared; the
middle section of his back was
burned SO badly that doctors
feared it would not heal.
'Die?" Doty replied through his
lips drawn with pain when told of
the gravity of his condition. mot
me. I'm going to fight. I'll show
those doctors!"
EOR nine months he lay in the
Il hospital on his stomach in a.
specially built oven set to a tenn
perature of 103 degrees. Then
they sent him home, with his
oven, for seven months more.
In the meantime, flesh taken
from other parts of Doty's body
was grated on his back. In time
it grew there, and the back be-
gan to heal. Finally, a few days
ago, Doty was able to leave his
oven.
Doty's struggle against death
attracted national attention. Let
tiers poured in from all parts of
the country. They were from
folks who didn't know him, but
who admired his stamina and
courage.
These folks will be glad to
learn now that Jack Doty is get
ting well. The doctors don't claim
the credit for it; they're giving all
the credit to Jack.
