rninistration's home renovizing cam
paign.
Once or twice a year a heavy
southeast storm drives rain through
some crack in one of my walls and
vets a patch of plaster in a down.
stairs room.
I have been hunting for that
crack for three years. 1t may be
anywhere in the two-story -and-a-
half wall. from the joint between
wall and roof to one of the window
frames. for water may travel long
distances in a wall before showing
itself.
I have patched all of these sus-
pected places, but have not yet
found It.
BIisters Tell Tale
1 shall keep on experimenting. for
water in a wall is not good for a
house. In my case it damages the
decorations. 1t may lead to rotting,
although with me the wetting does
not happen often enough for that to
be feared; water from a storm dries
out before the next storm occurs.
Drying may be through either the
inside or the outside walls.
When blisters appear in paint on
an outside wall. always in about the
same places, this is the cause. Water
gets into the wall and collects on
part of the framing that brings it
against the inside of the clapboards.
The water soaks in and is drawn
through to the outside by warmth
and dry air.
Leaks in a brick or masonry wall
usually are through the cracks at
the mortar joints, while stucco may
leak through cracks or where the
waterproofing has deteriorated.

TRUE STORY OF
DILLINCER GANG
Closely Guarded Record to
Figure in Hearing for
Attorney.
press


CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The federal
department Of justice today opened
its closely guarded records and pre-
pared to reveal in court the true
story of John Dilingers crime
packed career.
The saga of the Dillinger gang,
woven into terse reports of govern
ment agents whose guns finally end
ed the outlaws life, was called for
by Federal Judge John P. Barnes
when an alleged master mind" of
the gang was brought before him.
Louis P Piquett, bushy-haired
criminal lawyer under indictment on
charges of ~harboring Dillinger and
Homer Van Meter, sought a writ
of habeaS corpus to obtain his re-
lease from the Cook county Jail.
His attorney, Benjamin Lands,
claimed the $4,000 bond set for
Piquett was eXhorbitant in view of
the fact that the government had
only one crime charged to Dillinger
interstate transportation of Sto-
len car after his toy pistol escape
from an Indiana Ja1i.
Assistant United States Attorney
Harry N. Connaughton, opposing the
habeas corpus petition, recited a
long list of Dillinger's crimes. Ian
dis met each statement with a de-
mand for proof.
Judge Barnes, complaining that
the proceedings were a fencing
match" ordered the governments

brought into court today for an
other hearing.

Marion County Is Carrying
Burden for Others,
Book Claims.

Unfair distribution Of gross in

ers here providing tax relief for
many communities whose citizens
are no more tsx-burdened than are
the citizens Of Indianapolis. accord
ing 70 William II. Book. executive
vice-president Of the Indianapolis
Chamber Of Commerce.
Mr.. Book, speaking before the XII
wants Club yesterday. said that.
under the present setup. only about
30 per cent Of the total gross in

~ return 20 the county 10 assist IN
financing city and county schools.
This. he SAID meant a contribution
Of almost S2OO0OOO annually by In
disnapolis taxpayers to carrying the
expense Of other counties schools.
There Is good logic in the idea
that the stronger cOmmunities-
those with larger propOrtiOnate tax
ing valucs-ShoUld help the weaker
communities obtain minimum stan
dard schools" Mr.. Book said.
Distribution OF the gross income

communities. whose citizens are no
more burdened with taxes than are
those Of Indianapolis. receiving tax
relief az the expense of indianapolis
taxpayers.
What is urgently needed in the
name Of justice IS a falrer distrl-

Mr.. Book. placing the Chamber

ties. said that It. nevertheless, would
take up with legislative candidates
in the immediate future the ques-

The chamber officials speech
dealt also with reduction of the
total property tax rate here since
1892 and with the work of the
chambers newly formed govern

Virgil Sheppard. government expert.
The net result Of tax reduction
moves since 1882 has been a reduc-
ton Of only about 100000 for
1885. Mr.. Book said. though the
property taxes actually are about
$1,000. 900 less. New forms OF taxa
ton have added 100000 to the
tax bill. he declared.
The governmental research bureau
will seek 10 make Indianapolis the
best governed city in the United
States. Mr.. Book said. and. in con-

study carefully present tax assess
ment and collection machinery as

The question Of eligibility Of
Stanislaus Kostka, piledriving full
back; Bill Bevan, star guard, Art
Clarkson, George Svendsen and
Jab Bevan, Is the most important
item Of business on the program OF
the faculty members.
Under the Big Ten rule which
says competition on freshmen
teams counts as a year OF collie
gate competition, KoStka and Be-
van probably have played their last
football for Minnesota. Although
they rank as juniors. both attend
ed the University Of Oregon, and
played on freshman teams. KotSka
played a year OF varsity football at
Oregon and another at Minnesota,
rounding out his three years of'eli-
gibility unless the freshman angle
Of the rule is amended.
Bevan has played two years at
Minnesota, in addition TO his year
ling competition at Oregon. Clark
Son competed as a freshman ar
Oregon and had one year on the
Minnesota varsity, giving him one
more year on Bernie Bierman's
eleven. lab BeYan and Svensden
are in the same boat as KotSka

Jones Baffled BY
Failure of Troians

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 4-lPl-
Reaching the last lap OF a dismal
football season, with Notre Dame
en- route west to administer the
coup de grace, Coach Howard Hard
ing Jones frankly admits he is
completely baffled7 by the collapse
OF his gridiron wtzardy.
The head man OF the Troians has
worked harder with the 1894 Troj-
ans than with any OF his other
teams. The results have been the
worst ever.
The material OF use. this year,
Jones feels. Is better than he had
az Iowa University In 1917. when
he lost five games, and better than
that he had at Duke in 1924, whea
he lost five. The competition out
here has been tougher, he said.
Really, ! don't know what Wen
be able 10 do against Not-e Dame
Saturday" Jones said. Some or
these boys played badly against
washington last week. The ones
who looked good on offenSe we're
bad on defense. and vice versa"

THOMAS SAID
REAL COACH
Former Mick Enjoys Great
Success AS Alabama
Head Mentor

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Dec. 4. Up
Four years ago a young man with
an engaging smile and quiet man.
ner came TO the University OF Ala
bama to assume the football coach
ing helm.
The man. Frank Thomas, was
making his bow as a head coach in
big time football and he was de-
cidedly "on the spot"
Abalama's crimson tide was fresh
from a spectacular season crown
ed by a decisive victory ofer the
west In the Rose Bowl, and was
regarded as 1.-THE team TO beat In
Dixie football.
Under Wallace Wade, whom
Thomas succeeded, the Crimson
Tide had become o feared oppon-
ent In the south and intersection
ally, with a record OF two wins and
one tie IN the Rose Bowl within six
years.
II the size of the task confront
ing him caused him any worry, none
could tell 1t. In his quiet, winning
way, he took over the helm, re-
tanning the assistants that had aid
ed Wade.
Wade had installed a system at
/ AlabaIa that had proven highly
successful and II was not the fast
breaking Notre Dame game that
Thomas had learned under Knute
/ Rockne.
Henry Hank Crisp. line coach
under Wade. had been made ath-
letic director. and continued as line
coach How well Thomas and Crisp
work together is attested by the
record Of only four losses and one
tie in the four years they have
teaI ed TO build Crimson Tides.
Crisp IS the sharp disciplinarian
while Thomas is the soft spoken
diplomat. Tosether they build win
ming combinations.
And Thomas and Crisp click to-
gether. SC does the rest OF the
coaching staff. including Harold
CRed) Drew. who assisted Thomas
at Chattanooga, and nov coaches
the ends, John Hurry Cain, a
graduate Of the Thomas cycle at
Alabama who assists with the backs
and coaches punting snd blocking.
an j. B. Whitworth. also a Thomas
protege. who aids with the line.
During a game. Thomas sits on
the bench like a statue, elbows rest
ing On his knees, eyes glued TO the
teld of play. Occasionally a Substi-
tute will sit beside him, getting in
structions. but from opening whistle
until the half ne rarely moves.
Thomas learned his football al
Notre Dame where he was quarter
back on the great teams Knute
Rockne built in 1921, 1922 and
/ 1923.
His first coaching assignment was
as an assistant az Georgia in 1923.
and In 1924 he went to Chattanooga
as hesd coach where his teams won
two S. I A. A. championships. He
was the first Rockne pupil TO win a
title. and Is the first to lead a team
to the Rose Bowl.
Thomas was recalled to Georgia
In 1929 when a former Terminate
at Notre Dame. Harry Mehre, was
nade head coach there.
