WILMETH SAFE
ROBBERY NETS

Yeggs Gain Entrance by
RuSe; Bind and Gag
Waterman.

Two yeggmen who early yesterday
tricked their way into the Roy Will
meth Co., Inc, automobile dealers,
at 100 N. Meridian-st, bound and
gagged a night Waterman, opened
two safes and escaped with about
$1,000.
The Waterman, Richard Brooks,
81, of 2917 Park-av, told police that
a man came to the side door about
1870 Saturday night, saying that he
had an automobile which he had
been told to leave there by Claude
T. Foxworthy, vice president of the
firm.
Mr.. Brooks opened the door and
the man drove the car inside. He
then jumped from the car and
pulled Mr.. Brooks cap down over
his face. A second man, whom Mr.
Brooks was unable to see, also en-
tered the place and held Mr.. Brooks
while his hands were tied behind his
back, his feet we're tied and his
mouth gagged with adhesive tape.
The men then placed the watch
man in a Mushroom, telling him he
would not be harmed if he remained
quiet. The intruders Immediately
battered the combination from a
safe and opened it.
Holes were bored in another
downstairs safe, evidently to set off
"a explosive charge, but the safe
was not opened. They then went
to the second floor stock room, bat
tered open a safe there and rified
a desk.
Mr.. Brooks eventually managed
to crawl from the Mushroom to the
front show room, where he was no.

Mr.. Foxworthy estimated the
amount of the loss at about $4,000

CITY TROLLEY
FIRM BUYS 81
new COACHES
Stream-Lined Motor Buses
Will Go in Service
April |.

Purchase of 81 new Stream-lined
motor coaches at an outlay of nearly
s225 900, today was announced by
Charles w. Chase, Indianapolis
Railways president, as a New Year
expression Of business confidence.
The new equipment, Mr.. Chase
said, will replace most OF the older
type BUSES now in use on Indian
apoliS Railways and Peoples Motor
Coach Co. through bus routes. Old
busseS, Mr.. Chase announced, would
be used only for limited rush hour
service and emergencies.
The new BUSES will be delivered
about April l by the Mack Interna-
tional Motor Corp, and represent
the third large order for new equip
ment made since the reorganization
of the transit company in June, 1882.
Fifteen of the coaches will be of 81
passenger capacity and 16 will seat
81 passengers each.
Rear mounting of motors in the
32-pasSenger BUSES present a novel
feature of the new equipment. This
radical departure from previous mo-
tor coach practice will afford more
room at the front of the bus, bet
ter weight distribution and virtual
freedom from gasoline fumes.
Pointing out that Indianapolis
now has the best equipped transport
tation system in the world Mr..
Chase said improvements approx
mating S450O,O00 have been made in
the last two and a half years, or
about SO per cent Of the 1O-year re-
Mobilization program.

The Revenue Acts of 1884 indicate

Gains or losses on capital assets

A Thought for Today
Dictators Avoid War

Twenty years ago the world went to ' war because an obscure band of terrorists in a central European province assassin ated the heir-apparent to the throne of great nation. This summer the chancellor 7 of that nation - nation far less great and powerful than it was 20 years ago - , was similarly slain by terrorists. But although armies mobilized on the borders, and statesmen made dire predictions of trouble, there was no war.
 In each case the provocative incident occurred in an unstable Europe which needed only slight shock to send it slid ing into the abyss of war. In 1914 the shock did the trick. In 1884 it did not. Why?
 -a It would be nice if we could say that the rulers of mankind have learned something, .-in the last two decades. It would be con- forting to think that they have come to 2 realize the fearful price that humanity pays for wars, so that they hesitate to V lead their peoples into armed conflict. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much justification for statements of that kind We shan't be able to talk that way until Europe starts reducing its armies and navies and following more peaceful policies generally.
 It IS more lkely IldC Ine answer IS lo he found in a queer little trick which fate seems to be playing on dictators thoughtful analysis of the situation is apt to lead one to conclude that Europe's lead CTS kept the peace this summer because they didn't dare do anything else. <, These Relationships that dot the map of ' Europe - these brass-knuckled Tammany outfits which keep the Mussolinis and the Hitlers and the Pilsudskis and the rest Of them in power are not geared to stand the strain of long war. Suppressing democratic government and ruling by sheer force is all right, as long as you have all the force and all the weapons on your side But when you go to war, you have to call out all the people you have been suppressing, and put guns in their hands.
 And if the war doesn't end speedily, they are likely to take little thought and , use the guns against you. That, probably, P is the chief reason why Europe avoided war this summer. The stage was all set for it. Everything pointed toward it. But in the last analysis the dictators didn't dare indulge in it. The chances were too great that, when the smoke cleared away, a lot of dictators would be looking for new jobs.

THE GOOD" WOMAN By LuelYa F. Hinderer

The best way to appear to be d good woman is to be a good wo- man.
 Too often the good" woman
 sitteth in the seat of the scornful. To the sophisticated her smug-
 ness is dispieasing. Does she starch her clothes? Then pity Mrs
 Nexdor who likes hers limp. The goodness of a woman is relative. To the man who wants a wife only to enrich himself, economy Is the virtue paramount. To the man demanding creature
 comforts. the servile wife is the good wife.
 A dull woman often gets a high polish-on the furniture. She whose floors are immaculate may harbor cob-webs in the attic. She who will not allow the dog to drag in a bone may keep a
 skeleton in the closet. The good woman gets banned for
 "dishes in the sink" by a husband
 who will not lift finger to rinse a beer mug.
 She who serves a great variety of food should observe her hus-
 band on a camping trip eating ham
 and eggs three times a day-and
 liking it.
 The good woman is "so' trust.
 ing. Her husband motto is:
 The girl who eats the bread buy
 Must never doubt me when I lie.
