in 1882, 1881 would vote for him
now. Of 1890 who voted for
Hoover in 1882, only 3,101 would

This poll apparently bears out
the contention of politicians that
Indiana naturally is conservative
and that President Roosevelt won
his Indiana ma jority in 1882 due to
the tremendous demand for a

distrust of anything new.
Indiana bankers apparently are
nursing a crouch against the ad-

MIRA To SHOW
LEN|ENCY

Blue Eagles will not be clipped
from firms forced through cir
cumStance to deal with other firms
which have been deprived of the
MIRA insignia, it was indicated at
recovery headquarters today.
Frank Pollak, chief of the com
pliance division, expressed the
view that "leniency" would be
shown by the Administration in
cases such as the current Mil
waukee Electric Power Company
situation.
This company, stripped Of its
blue eagle for violation of the re-
covery, is the only power-purvey'
ing firm in Milwaukee. Conse'
quently, practically all other firms
are forced to purchase power from
this company.
Mr.. Pollak's announcement re-
lieved a situation in Milwaukee
which has been fraught with mis-
givings on the part of business
organizations which, although in
good standing under the NRA
feared loss of their eagles through
traffic with the offending com
pany.

PET CROCODILE

Lost, strayed or stolen, one very
docile crocodile, from the Buch-

found, return at once to the
students of the school, who have
been neglecting their studies
since yesterday, when their pet
was discovered missing.
The loss of the pet was quickly
broadcast among the other
schools and a host of sympa-
thizers came forward today with
stories of pets in their schools.
In the fourth grade of the
Brightwood School the children
have a hive of honey bees which
they are keeping in a glass cage.
Less spectacular is the pet OF
the first grade in the Shepherd
School. There Mrs. L. S. Alex"
ander found that the pupils
wanted a white hen for a pet.
And sure enough she provided the
hen.
In the Phoebe Hearst School
the children have a large aqua
rum given to the school by Will
liam Randolph Hearst.

at Richmond late that night.
Richmond police picked them
up, notified the boys parents, and
they were returned today.
Jack said he left just for 'fun"
and was tired hanging around
doing nothing" When asked If
he had ever been away before,
he replied:
"Me? Sure, mister. / ran
away when 1 was 3 years old"
Both boys denied they got a

poses, by the use of any savings

tionments for personnel.
