with the daily household routine.
A maid who cooks the meals
does most of the housework, but
many of the homely tasks fall
upon Mrs. Studebaker
THE story of the scars left by
the depression upon the
Studebaker fortune differs only in
degree from that of thousands of
typical American families trapped
by the treacherous declines of the
security markets.
Close friends of the family esti-
mate the losses of Colonel Stude-
baker and his brother, the late
Clement Studebaker Jr., at about
S6,000,000 Most of the loss came
in the terrific collapse of the In
sui utilities empire, in which the
family had a heavy stake.
The Studebakers were allied
closely with Samuel insult in his
spectacular rise to fame and
power.
A few weeks ago. Colonel Stude-
baker filed petition in bank
ruptcy. He showed liabilities of
100000, assets of $4,000 and
about $35 in cash. Notes of other
investors which the colonel and
his brother signed added to their
heavy losses.
XXTHEN the bankruptcy action
w was filed, the Studebakers
moved from their ancestral home
on the knoll at Tippecanoe Place.
1t was massive thirty-room
mansion of stone built by the
colonel's father. The antiques and
heirlooms of the family we're left
behind to help satisfy claims of
creditors.
There the Studebakers had en-
tertained constantly for large
groups of friends. In the city the
couple was known as kindly and
depocratic Comrades of the
colonels Spanish war days were
invited to camp on the extensive
grounds of the estate.
Now the couple lives in strict
retirement. They see only a few
of their closest friends. But those
who have visited the couple in
their modest quarters, report them
still cheerful and smiling despite
hardships to which they are I'M
accustomed.
Folks have been mighty kind"
they say. After all, that's what
counts"

JuStice!
Big, Bad CopperS Spoil
All the Fun for
Little Boys.
LIEUTENANT ED SCHUBERT

T LIEUTENANT ED SCHUBERT
IL and his merry men, otherwise
known as the big, bad wolf and
the mean, little cubs" are at it
again.
Last night, while cruising near
Pennsylvania and Thirty-fourth
streets, the pack saw husky
youth hurl a well ripened tomato
against the windshield of a pass
ing roadster
Immediately, the roadster
shrieked to stop, and out piled its
diminutive driver Hurting himself
on the tomato thrower, the driver
proceeded to administer what is
known in pugiliStic circles as a
''lacing."
Being only human, the police
watched long enough to make
sure that justice had been done
before intervening. Also attracted
to the encounter were the COM
panions of the tomato thrower,
several youths of high school age.
CNIFFING the night air, the
- big bad wolf picked up a scent
stronger than any that could be
left by a single tomato, no matter
how ripe.
Investigation showed that the
youths had provided for an eve
ming of good, clean fun on Hal
loWeen by hiding a bushel basket
of overripe tomatoes nearby.
Deciding that the punishment
should fit the crime, Lieutenant
Schubert ordered the culprits to
carry the basket to the curb.
Now pick up tomato in each
hand" the wolf ordered. The
boys complied, with puzzled looks,
yet somewhat hopeful that maybe
it wouldn't be such bad evening
after all, with the copperS joining
in the fun of beSpattering passing
motorists.
THIS happy illusion immedi-
Il ately was dispelled, when
Lieutenant Schubert, snarling in
his best wolf1sh manner, barked;
Now, squeeze"
The boys stared distastefully at
their hands, then cast pleading
glances at the police.
Go, ahead Squeeze"
Rich, ripe tomato juice trickled
into the gutter from the pulpy
mass in the boys hands Blotches
of red appeared on clothes and
faces.
The boys let the pulp fall from
stiff. shuddering fingers. AS it
splattered in the street, Lieuten-
ant Schubert commanded;
do il again"

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-11-01

ID ESIGNEDLY, the boys stopped
IN and each arose with another
handful Of the tomatoes which
gleefully had been planned for
somebody else.
With the precision of automa-
tons, the boys continued to stoop,
squeeze and splatter until the
gutter ran red. Finally, the toma-
toes were gone from the basket.
With a final warning sounding
in their ears to go home and stay
there, the boys departed. Led by
the big, bad wolf" the pack
loped away. The evening fun was
gone, but the aroma fingered on.

Today the Ell Centre drive to
sign up all business houses and
individuals in this community un-
der the National Recovery Act begins
under the direction of Russell j.
kliegel, director general OF Ell Cen

The NRA calls upon every en-

shorten hours of labor in order to
make room for more employees
and upon every individual, man
and woman, who buys anything, to
buy only from those employers
who have taken the increased burd-

the country back to prosperity. The
blue eagle insignia marks the en-
ployer and the individual who has
pledged himself to the Presidents

eagle in every business house, shop,
office and residence in Ell Centro.

BANKERS TOLD
FREER CREDIT
IS NECESSARY

CHICAGO, Sept. 5. U.P,-Freer
credit must be extended to agri-
culture, commerce and industry or
the government must step in to
provide it, Jesse H. Jones, chair
man of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation told the American
Bankers association convention to-
day.
u, Success or failure of the NRA de-
pens on the cooperation of banks
to open the paths for extending
business operations, Jones said.
He referred to credit as "the life
blood of business and added that
there could be no sustained pros
perity-no return to normal condi-
tions-without actual bank credit
for all legitimate purposes.
Probably the greatest obstacle in
the NRA program" Jones said in
addressing the convention of the
American Banking association,
would be the failure of banks to
extend available credit-credit for
every unit in our economic struc-
ture-the average man, the butcher,
the baker, the candlestick maker.
Banks must provide credit to ac-
comodate agriculture, commerce and
industry based upon going coun-
try. Otherwise the government will
have to do so. There will be no
other course"
Turning his remarks to >le do
cal" banker, Jones said that no
community can prosper if its banks
fail to supply local credit.
THE blue eagle he added,
should be on the vault door as well
as in the bank window. And while
the first requirement in banking
must be for safety for depositors,
all business has its place, big and
little, from farm to factory, from
the peanut vendor to the biggest
business establishment, and no COM
munity can prosper if its banks
fail to supply local credit.
Bank deposits must finance
business and banks that are over
liquid should reverse their policies
and take a constructive part in the
recovery program. Calling loans and
forcing liquidation, as some highly
liquid banks have done and are still
doing, breaking mems hearts, des-
troys values, often the savings of a
lifetime, and creates unemploy-
ment."

ter of the late Roscoe Fatty Ar

sonal properties in the state. She
