FAREWELL!


ITO political observers, the most
Il outstanding feature of the
election was not the fact that there
was a landslide, or that all the con-
gressmen will be Democratic, but
the majority rolled up by Frederick
Van Mugs in his race against SEN
ator James E. Watson.
It proves again that many years
in politics means the making of
many enemies.
That always has been a truism,
but the swapping Of Senator Wat
son proves the point
OF course his defeat was a
cumulative affair.
1t should have come in 1926, but
he was saved by Lake county. This
year Lake county was in no position
to deliver, so Watson had to run on
his record.
And his record was the one thing
which couldn't stand the light of
close inspection.
Watson this year was pitted
against man who could afford to
talk about his record, for that OF
Fred Van Nuys welcomed scrutiny
Humbuggery couldn't win against
sincerity, and there is a moral in
that for all politicians.
The defeat had been coming for
a long time, but the real touch-off
was the double cross of M. Bert
Thurman for the Governor nom
ination.
Thousands of Republicans would
have voted for the senator if this
had not occurred. But it brought
sharply to mind thas, after all,
Jim had been INDUCING in this
quaint custom for years.
Harry New can attest to this, as
could Albert Beverage, if he were
alive today, and host Of smaller
figures in politics, who had relied
upon promise made because it was
easier to say yes" than mo-"
The record spoke for itself.

Watson could have made the air
blue with his excoriation of the sins
of the Democrats; he could have

Cape Cod Type Dwelling to
Be Ready for inspection
About Feb. Is.

Corner stone of the 1882 model
/ home under construction at 5243
Cornelius avenue by the Indian
apoliS Home Builders Association
was to be laid at $3.50 today with
an impressive ceremony.
The model home is being con-
structed by the association in con-
nection with the 1882 Home Com
plete exposition April 2-10 at the
state fair ground.
The dwelling, of Cape Cod de-
sign, will be open for public inspec-
ton about Feb. Is, it was announced
today by J. Harry Miles, association
president.
In the corner stone will be names
of those persons responsible for
erection Of the dwelling, a list of
firms whose products were selected
for it, copies of today's issues of
all three Indianapolis newspapers
and other tokens of the present
building age. Walter L. STAGE is
chairman of the committee in
charge of constructing the house.
SbOTy ana tIdlI
The 1882 model home will be a
story and a half dwelling, contain
ing a living room, dining room,
breakfast nook, lavatory and kitch-
en- on the first floor, and three
bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs.
In the full basement, besides the
furnace room and its accessories,
will be large social room. This
room will be paneled and will con-
tain a fireplace and dutch oven,
after the Cape Cod type kitchen,
according to R. L. Miller, architect.
The Cape Cod design is one of
the oldest in America used for
present day home building. It had
its origin among the first settlers
in America, and even today bears
a close resemblance in many ways
to the home Of our east coast an
cestors, Miller said.
This is noticeable, particularly, in
the low, rectangular lines, and in
an occasional round window having
as its origin a portfolio in
wrecked fishing ship.
Turned Into Gardens
This is the first year that the
model home has not been erected
as the centerpiece for the home
complete exposition.
Instead of the housing the dwell
ing, the entire pit of the Manufac-
turers building at the Playground,
site of the 1882 home show, will be
transformed into gardens and flower
beds, according to j. Frank Can't
well, exposition director.
Work on the model home is be-
ing supervised by Carl w. Linde-
man. 1t is located directly north
of the Butler university stadium, in
the North Butler Terrace addition.
Members of the committe. in
charge of the home, besides STAGE.
are Rice, Lindemann, Frank E.
Gates and Frank F. Woolling.

stolen money from the bandit car,
after a shot from her husbands gun
struck the driver and the car over
turned in ditch.
One Is Wounded
Two bandits were captured at
the spot. One was wounded.
A third escaped, but was captured
two miles from the scene. All the
bandits were said to have pleaded
guilty in Mt. Carmel Qll.) court,
and will be sentenced Jan. 26, ac-
cord to AltSman.
1--WE heard over the telephone
that the bank had been robbed, so
my brother-in-;aw and I got shot
guns and hid at the crossroads.
There is only one road leading from
the town, and we knew the bandits
would pass u.s. Altsman said.
PIunges Off Road
1--WE saw the car speeding toward
us, and when it was about twenty
five yards away we opened fire. The
first shot hit the driver and the
car plunged off the road. One of
the bandits leaped out and fled.
John and forced the two remain
ing men to surrender after We ex-
changed more than dozen Shots"
he said.
Altsman exhibited two shells
which he said he took from the
bandits guns before authorities
arrived.
