Again Is Stricken.

F'real Mcintosh, 80, of 678 East
Forty-fourth street, regional attor-
ney for the United States veterans
bureau, is critically i'll at his home,
after a relpaSe Tuesday from an
illness of more than week, it was
learned today.
Mcintosh, a native of Owen coun-
ty, is a brother of Calvin Mcintosh,
former member of the Indiana pub

He was stricken week ago Tues
day and apparently had recovered
Sunday, when he returned to his
home from the Methodist hospital.
Mcintosh was stricken in his Of
fees at the Veterans Bureau hos

Disastrous Retaliation by
Pool Members Foreseen
by County Agent.

Warning that a milk price war
of severe intensity looms due to
price cuts of Quietly dealers who
are competing with Indianapolis
distributors was issued today by
Clarence Henry, county agricultural
agent.
Since formation of milk pool''
more than two years ago, smaller
dealers have been able to purchase
surplus milk cheaper than that
distributed by the pool, Henry
pointed out.
According to Henry, rs per cent
of the milk producers in Marion
and adjoining counties now are
members of the pool. He said that
with indianapolis requiring $4,000
gallons of milk daily there is three
times as much milk as this market
can absorb"
Market is Raided
THE distribution price in Ir4s
| dianapolis is in a precarious shape, .
Henry declared. Milk is being
bottled in Greenfield, Franklin,
Plainfield and other places outside
indianapolis and being sold in
competition with local dealers, par
ticularly south of Washington
street.
Some of this milk is being re-
tailed as low as Z cents quart,
much of it at 8 cents, and chain
stores are charging 9 cents, while
the larger dealers are attempting
to hold the price at 10 cents.
Unless the situation is handled
with extreme care, a milk price war
of more severe intensity is newt
able before spring. Legitimate es-
tablished dealers can not indefi-
nitely pay more to pool members
for their milk, and try to main
tain going prices in the face of
such competition.
Counter Organization Urged
when our farmers fully realize
the true situation, it may be too late
to avert disastrous milk war"
Small milk dealers, Henry charged,
are encouraging counter -organi-
zation" to the pool and are support
ing farmers who have mot made All
accurate market analysis"
He said dealers who are able to
buy the surplus milk 4 or cents
cheaper on each pound of butter
fat naturally are against the sue
cess of any organization which tends
to bring more money to the farmer 4"
Last month dairy farmers, op-
posed to the pool, announced they
would organize in various townships
in Marion and surrounding counties
to fight the milk pool. They charged
the prices paid milk producers are
too low.

FIGHT PENSION CASE
Trustees to Appeal $14,85O
Award to Fireman.

An appeal will be filed in the
Indiana appellate court to prevent
William Stuck, former city fireman,
from collecting a $14,85O judgment,
awarded Tuesday by Judge Fred E.
Hines of the Hamilton county cir
cult court at Noblesville.
This was announced today by
James E. Deery and Merle N. A..
Walker, attorneys for Indianapolis
flreman's pension fund.
Stuck, who was a fireman in 1908
and 1910, won his case in the Ham
ilton circuit court, after it had been
taken from Marion county superior
court three on a change of venue.
The suit, to recover back pension,
was filed here in September, 1928.
Pension fund trustees maintain
that Stuck never was entitled to a
pension because he did not remain
on the force a full ninety-day
period, compulsory before admit
ance to full standing.

When a man buys his own

PRODUCERS BRINGS
PRICE WAR THREAT


Some fair haired boy of 4 en-
on the north side has the as
surance today that if the
neighborhood bully ever gets
tough again, he will ''get his
ears cut off,"
And that's the warning Capt.
Arch Ball sent out after police
aid was invoked by the lad
Tuesday afternoon.
The alarm was sounded by
telephone by a boy who did
not give his name. 1t was to
the effect that there's some
boy out here in the $500 block
Winthrop avenue Smacking
everybody's ears down."
well, young man, you just
tell that bully if he ever gets
tough again We'll cut his ears
off," was Balls reply after
learning his informant was 4.
"All right" said the boy
cheerily, thanks" And he
hung up.

Marriage Permits Issued
DiSprove Myth of
Odd Years.
This is one of series of stories about
what leap year means to indianapolis.

Contrary to common belief, leap
year no longer increases the woes of
busy marriage license clerks.
1.-THE modern girl is smart enough
not to have to propose to the man
of her choice-She just naneuverS
the situation so the prospective, but
bashful husband, becomes confused
and thinks he has proposed" &C
cording to Frank league, marriage
license clerk.
"AS a result, every year is leap
year for the modern maid. I've
seen a lot of couples come in here
to get marriage license, and in
most cases the young lady is less
huStered than the man.
Girls Don't Propose
They kid around, sometimes, that
is the less bashful couples do, but
I never heard any of them say that
the girl proposed"
Records of the Marion county
clerks Office reveal that no more
marriage licenses are issued in leap
years than any other year.
In 1923, a leap year, 1858 mar
riage licenses were issued compared
with 1868 the following year, de-
spite the steady decrease each year
in number of licenses issued.
Fewer in 1881
The license records show 5,766 IL
censeS to wed issued in 1920, leap
year; 4,6444 in 1921; 4,091 in 1924,
another leap year: 3,641 in 1880, and
approximately 3,40O in 1881.
Apparently few couples care for
the distinction of being welded on
Feb. 90, thus quartering the num-
Der of their wedding anniversaries.
On Feb. 20. 1929, only eight mar
riage licenses were issued. Twelve
we're issued Feb. %, 1924, and none
on Feb 20, 1920, which occurred on
Sunday.

GUN BLAST SPOILS
COPS TETE-A-TETE

Ingenuity, when it interferes with
the duty of enforcing laws, has no
place in the Indianapolis police de-
partment. This was the edict today.
Two officers, said to have a pro-
pensity to violate regulation meth
DDS, were suspended by Chief Mike
MorriSsey, after he probed details
of their latest invention.
Patrolmen Fred Stages and
Charles Reardon, according to the
chief, had found way to eat their
suppers together in the Blue Hour

to be on duty in a radio cruising
car.
They entered the barbecue on
West Sixteenth street at the supper

Mitchell at his trial entered pleas
