south side of Indianapolis, the Polar
Ice and Fuel Company is building
new Office building and show
rooms at its coal yard and ice plant

ing use of Polar modern ice refrige-
rators has made it advisable for the

Polar patrons in that locality the
first one of these showrooms will
be located on the south side.
The showroom to be completed

refrigerators.
The new showroom, which will be
combined with the office, will be
in the old Colonial Spanish design
of architecture.

Fireman automatic stoker during
the winter and cooled with Polar S
room cooling device during the sum-
mer.
When completed, it is proposed to

ems neighborhood bridge parties.
The company hopes to announce

ing in a short time. A formal open
ing will be held with favors for

PAINT HALTS DISEASE
Physician Tells of Fever Decrease
After Coating Hospital Walls.

DR.. Max Starkloff, more than
thirty years health commissioner of
st. Louis, cites an incident where
more than 100 lives probably were
saved because the application of
paint to walls left no place for
disease to propagate.
I'm a hospital of which I had
knowledge" says DR.. Starkloff,
there were, in a given period, more
than 100 cases Of puerperal fever,
with a high death rate. After the
walls were painted, it was noted
that in a similar length of time,
cases of puerperal fever almost
were unknown. Undoubtedly paint
was largely responsible for this saw
ing of many lives"

LONG SERVICE
GIVEN BY FIRM
SeImier Towel Business ES
tabIiShed More Than
Quarter of Century.

For more than a quarter of a CEN
fury the Frank Selmeier Towel Sup
ply Company, ITO East Michigan
street, has been supplying many of
the business houses of this city, and
others throughout the state, with
linen towels, aprons, coats and other
supplies.
This company is one of the few
users of monel washers, and as the
soiled articles go through four suds,
and are rinsed through nine waters,
including hot and cold salt water,
the customer is assured of cleanli-
ness.
Maintaining a large sewing room,
the Selmeir company makes its own
towels and aprons, and all articles
are mended before being sent from
the plant.
Included in the towel supply serv-
ice are mirrored cabinets and bars
of pure soap supplied at no extra

DEVICE SHOWS
WHEEL DEFECT
C. Off Company Makes Use
of AIigner in Auto
Repair Work.

Recently installed at the G. Of
Company, lot North East street,
automobile repair firm, is a wheel
aligner which accurately shows the
slide-slip to the right or left of an
automobile in feet per mile. This is
a boon to the motorist if his car is
defective in this respect, and once
adjusted, the saving in tire wear
compensates for the cost of inspec-
ton and adjustment.
Adhering to its slogan of eve take
the dents out of accidents" the COM
pany does body and fender repair
work and maintains a special wood
working department needed in the
body repair of older model auto
mobiles.
With freezing weather on the way,
it is suggested that the car owner
have the radiator and motor block
cleaned out, and suitable anti
freeze solution injected for winter
driving.

The following telegram was re-
ceived recently from L. Plate, gen.
eral western passenger agent Of the
Hamburg American Line and North
German-Lloyd, Chicago. by r. A
Kurtz. head of the travel depart
ment of the Union Trust Company.
120 East Market street:
Gable advice was received here
from our headquarters in Germany
announcing that effective between
Oct. % and April 80, the Hamburg
American Line and North German
Lloyd will offer a special tourist and

ing passengers a stay of up to fifteen

new rate offering should be Of great
assistance in connection with the
coming holiday travel to Europe"
Included in these cruises is one
known as the Columbus. 1t derives
its name from the Columbus. a

most unusual planks are: No
rent of more than 81 a day to be
charged for any home, no inter-
est to be charged on money, no
taxes on personal property, free
hospitals for all, government con-
troll Of all transportation, and no
prof1t-taking in the sale Of in
toXicating liquor.
The Socialist program long has
remained the same. Based on the
economic philosophy of Karl
Marx, the Socialist party in
America has as its hue, at least
in the public's opinion, a pleasant
pink.
Locally the party is pledged to
legislate new state laws making
possible the Inauguration Of CITY,
controlled industries for the re-
lief of the unemployed. Since the
advent of the New Deal, the So
cialists have found some Of their
issues stolen badly and skillfully
from under their very roses. The
government now operates two
meat packing plants and a mat
tress factory here for the benefit
of the unemployed.
= =
TINE Socialist and Peoples
Il Fusion parties seem somewhat
similar on several points-reas-
sessment of property to restore to
the tax duplicates many taX-free
institutions, municipal control Of
utilities, civil service standards
for public employees and simpli-
f1cation Of city government.
The Socialists have taken up
the political battle for union la
Dor by advocating the abolition of
the anti-picketing ordinance, the
prevention of police from actively
suppressing strikes, and for the
use of union labor on thirty
hour week on public works prof.
ectS.
The Communist party has been
soft pedaling the worldwide rev.
olution idea and substituting what
seems to its members to be more
fruitful and constructive-a Wig
orously active support of labor
and the unemployed. In the Com
munist party platform there is
much talk of rights"
Social workers who have had
verbal combats with the Com
munist unemployed councils and
police who have met the Interna-
tional Labor Defense here will at
test to the ability of the Com
munistS to mix in any case where
those rights" seem to be in
volved.

SMALL LOANS
FIT NEEDS OF
MOST PERSONS
Only Small Per Cent of
Population Can Be
Served by Banks.

Credit is universal necessity, -
c. c. Lloyd, manager Of the Capital
Loan Company, Inc, 207 Kresge
building, Al East Washington street,
observes. 1T is as vital to the work
ingman, clerk, artisan or laborer on
small salary or wages as to the
great corporations or to govern
ments, to whom it is indispensable.
THE commercial banks do not
and can not directly serve the credit
needs of the great majority" he
concluded. 1t is estimated that only
about 8, or at most 10, per cent OF
the adult population has checking
accounts, and Of this number less
than 5 per cent can borrow at
banks. This is to say that 80 per
cent Of the adult population does
not possess collateral which would
be accepted by banks as security for
loans.
Accordingly, this large majority,
in any emergency such as sickness,
death in the family, unemployment
or other unforeseen or immediate
occasion for ready money, must seek
elsewhere for credit accommoda-
tions.
They have two available resources,
charity or a loan. The first recourse
is unthinkable to the great major
ity of such borrowers. The loan,
then, is the solution.
The Capital Loan Company, Inc,
is a friend indeed to those who are
temporarily up against it,"
Any worthy person requiring
financial help may obtain a loan
in amounts up to $500 within twen-
ty-four hours and virtually choose
the length of time for repayment.
1--WE require no indorsers or CO.
makers of notes and make no inqui-
reis of employers or trades per-
sons" Mr.. Lloyd explains.

The Prohibition party isn't in

The Democratic party, enjoying
a successful blood TRANSMISSION by
DR.. Roosevelt, is crying Justify for
absolute support of the national
administration. In Marion county
a major issue is the smashing of
the battle-scarred Coffin machine.
The Republicans, for their part,
have been looking with blood
thirsty eye at Governor Paul "
McNutt.
THE Peoples Fusion party, in
i keeping with n growing ma

ownership of utilities and the
wedding out of unnecessary pub

utilities were riding on a triumph

would have been heresy, but now
is an outspoken sentiment voiced
by many voters.
The Nationalist party drops to

doing.
Hospitals all over tho country, In
connection with the day. will call
attention to the advances that have
been made In care Of the sick dur
Ing recent years. Special emphasis
will be placed on the way In which
they carried on through the years
of tho depression, when very few
patients were paying ones and
when the care OF almost every ono

The national observance has for
a number of years beoh held on

birth of the great woman and

bed patients In hospitals, spending
n total of almost 800, 100000 days
