RALSTON TO REDUCE
OFFICE STAFF BY Il
CurtaiIment Is Blamed on
off Election Year.

Glenn Ralston, first county clerk
to be reelected since Marion coun-
ty came into existence as an entity
in 1922, today announcedS that,
effective about the first of the year,
he would reduce his staff by twelve
employees.
This reduction is due to the fact
that next year is an off" year for
the election officials. All twelve to
be dismissed are from the registra-
ton board, where only five employees
will be kept. These five will include
William P. Flanery, chief deputy
registration clerk; Charles Ettinger,
chief deputy clerk, and John. Beatty,
cashier.
Mr.. Ralston said he would retain
such of his aids as his room and file
clerks and as the marriage license
and probate clerks.
Probate Judge Smiley Chambers
will retain Harry G. Toner, baliff;
Mrs. William L. Clinton, assistant
clerk; Miss Flora Paetz, official re-
porter, and Horace Morgan. chief

weeks after the holdup in which
Sergeant Jones was shot down in
cold blood He said the wound in
his leg had been inflicted acct
dentally while he was cleaning a
gun. One theory of police, however,
was that he had been shot while at
tempting a Kentucky holdup.
This may have been one Of the
robberies which, according to De-
tectives Sergeant Quinnette, Mason
offered to clean up if he were al
lowed to stay in Kentucky.
The detective said that Mason was
so anxious not to return here that
he went so far as to offer to plead
guilty to whatever charges might
be placed against him in the Blue
Grass state.
To the members of the Indian
apoliS police department. State Po-
liceman Cons and the deputies at

Mason was most communicative

Park Avenue Fire DiSCoV-
cred by PaSSerby; Re-
spouse Comes Swiftly.
SPARKS SPREAD FLAME
House Next Door Catches
and Roof Is Damaged to
Extent of 5000.

Fire, which threatened for time
to spread to the proportions of a
neighborhood blaze, did $1,000 DAM
age to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank E. Goldman, 1884 Park ave-
nue., today and lesser damage TO two
Ineighboring houses.
The blaze at the Goldman home, a
large two-story structure, was dis
covered by a passerby, who notified
Mrs. Goldman. She called f1remen
at once and their prompt response
was credited with stopping ut its
source what might have been con-
f1agration.
A few minutes before discovery of
the fire, Mrs. Goldman had asked her
brother, Everett Coryell, 1409 Belle
fontaine street, an employe in the
Goldman grocery, 1881 Bellefontaine
street, to look at the furnace as she
felt the house was not heated prop
erly. He reported a hot fire in the
furnace and left the house.
A minute later the paSSerby told
Mrs. Goldman that the roof of her
home was on fire.
Sparks spread the fire to the roof
of the home of Mrs. Ethel West,
2530 Park avenue, and did 5000 dam
age there. The roof of vacant
house at 2540 Park avenue, owned by
Mrs. Emma B. TWiname, 2548 Park
avenue, also was singed.

can not put two ideas together and
make a third, but maybe it's just
as we'll for us that they can not. 1t
might make some of us blush at be-
ing out-reaSoned. 1t is one thing to
say that a dog does sensible things,
but quite another to say that he is
able to reason in the psychological
sense of the word.
If any one thinks that dog can
reason, it would be wonderful
thing if he could show us convincing
evidence. Time and time again ex-
perienced psychologists have devised
experiments to test this ability
which is often attributed to the dog,
but all their tests have resulted in
negative evidence.
If you know of any test that can
be applied to dogs that will be con-
vincing, and which can be used to
test dogs for this ability which is
supposed by many to exist, you will
confer a blessing on the dog and on
science if you bring it forward.
I've seen lots of feats out in the
open, when dogs have been hunting
or roaming freely, and yet 1 very
much doubt that, as much as I'd
like to call them reasoning, 1 can
not. What do you think about it.?
Do you know of any actual in
stances?
