 Fight On Gas Saver"
First Case Tests Merits of Device and Issues Edict
 for Public Utlity-In Investigations Revealed

Connecticut gas companies, con- stantly subjected. to campaign for the sale of so-called gas saving devices none of which save the customer any gas except at the cost of efficiency and all of which interfere in one way or another with proper functioning of gas ap- plinaces, this week received word from the. American Gas association that the first Gas far as is known) case against gas company which had fought the sale of such devices had been tried out to the court of last appeal in Georgia with results entirely in favor of the company.
 The associa ions report to it's member companies states that "As far as our knowledge goes, this is the first case whcih has come to a legal decision where the merits of a so-called gas aving device have been determined. Gas con- sumers should no longer be tempt ed to waste their money for use- less devices advertised as sold on the claim that gas consumption will be reduced" The report also re- fers to the results of investiga- llOLS llltO SuCIl 0CNASNS " eAAS United States Bureau of Standards and by the associations laboratory in Cleveland last March. which definitely proved the futility of equipping gas burning appliances with the "gas savers"
 In the Georgia case referred to, the Gas Savure Agency brought suit against the Savannah Gas com pany for advising it's customers against use of the "gas savure,' a limiting service orifice con- strrcted out of a small brass cone having a plate opposite the orifice and so arranged that the distance between the plate and the orifice could be varied to control the gas flow. It was but one form of many similar devices. Witnesses for the plaintiff testified that their gas bills had been decreased by installation of the "gas savure," but the de- fense readily showed that not only were the decreases of seasonal na- ture but also that the same result could have been obtained more readily by adjusting the appliance and meter cock to decrease the flow of gas. Naturally. less gas would flow from the meter, but. with the flow decreased, longer

WON HINDENBURG BEQUEATHED HIS
 POST TO HITLER
Won Papen Handed Ger man Leader the DOcu-
 ment Left By Warrior

Berlin, Aug 15-(UP)-The late President Paul von Hindenburg specifically bequeathed his post to Adolf Hitler, it was disclosed to- day. Hindenburg's political testia- ment making the bequest was handed to Hitler at Berchtesgaden yesterday by ice-Chancellor Franz von Papen. The testament declar- ed that "Kaiserdom," in Hinden- burg's opinion, would eventually emerge as an "eternal rock" in the form of a German govern ment. The testament was dated May II, 1884 and stipulates that 1t is to be transferred from Hin- denburg's son, Oskar, to Hitler. It consists of four typewriter pages.
 Hindenburg proceeded to deal in chronological order with events beginning in 1919. The reference to kaiserdom is a verbatim para graph from Hindenburg's mem- bers, treating with the subpect theoretically and declaring that out of every unruly and troubled sea, Kaiserdom will emerge as an eternal rock" Hindenburg dealt with his former opposition to Naziism and said differences had to be ironed out. He expressed satisfaction that he finally saw the way to making Hitler Chancellor and concluded that he wanted "my chancellor to become my success sor."
 It was understood the references to Kaiserdom in no way demand ed restoration of the monarchy but only a personal conviction thai the monarchy finally will em- erge." The document will be made public tonight. It is expected to be of enormous help in the cam pa1gn for Sundays plebiscite, in which the people will be asked to approve Hitler as Hindenburg's successor.

NOT CONSTIPATED
FOR SEVEN WEEKS"
Writes Mrs. Johnson After
Using Kellogg's ALLBRAN

Sufferers from constipation will
be interested in this unsolicited
letter:
"Your ALL-BRAN surely relieves
constipation. l am so glad over the
good it has done me that feel I
must write and tell you of it.
"For lunch / take banana, a
large one. Six tablespoons of ALL
BRAN in a sauce dish, and dip
banana at each bite until all is
consumed. l haven't been consti-
pated now for seven weeks" Mrs.
Louise Johnson, 1888 Forest Street,
Denver, Colorado.
Constipation often causes head
aches, loss of appetite and energy,
sleeplessness. This condition is
usually due to lack of "bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines, and vitamin B
to further promote regular habits.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN has both, as
well as iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in leafy vegetables. With
in the body, it forms a soft mass.
Gently, it clears out the wastes.
Try ALL-BRAN in place of patent
medicines - often harmful. Two
tablespoonful daily will overcome
most types of constipation. Chronic
cases, with each meal. If not re-
lieved this way, see your doctor.
Use as a cereal, or in cooking.

SCIENCE Church
LECTURE GIVEN
BY CALIFORNIAN
Mary Baker Eddy Doctrine
Seen as Cure for Worlds
Ills.

Peter V. Ross. San Francisco.
member of the lectureship board of
the first Church Of Christ, Scientist,
spoke last night in Cadle tabernacle.
His topic was Christian Science:
Its Assurance to a Troubled World"
Mr.. Ross said in part:
In recent years the English
speaking race, indeed western civil
1zation. has been stirred to its depths
by Mary Baker Eddy in her discov-
cry and presentation of Christian
Science. To countless thousands
this Science has become their
avoWed religion and has cast their
lives into a larger and finer mold.
AS men and nations accept the
teachings of Christian Science, the
human mind begins to part with its
limitations. Then individuals begin
to recognize the universe more near
ly as it is and to envisage the health,
abundance, and opportunity which
are the legitimate birthright of man.
Thereby does mankind get glimpses
OF that ultimate perfection which
characterizes reality; for it would be
bold man who would argue that
Gods creation falls short of perfec-
ton.
Biology believes that man began
low, simple form of life, in an in
conceivably remote past, and
throughout the ages has been toiling
upward toward a perfection attain
able, if at all, in a future still dim
and distant. Theology teaches that
man began perfect, only thereafter
to fall through disobedience; and
that now his chief concern is to re-
capture that perfection.
Christian Science insists that
spiritual man, true selfhood, was
never less than perfect, never less
than eternal life expressed; and
and that perfection is mans real
status now. Scientifically speaking,
therefore, man is not working to-
ward perfection; rather is he work.
ing from perfection.
For perfection is not static, no
more than are life and mind, which
undeniably are in constant and per-
petual operation. Jesus sums this
up emphatically when he declares,
My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work A state of rest or completion,
without further work or continued
capacity for embodiment or higher
heights to climb, would be intoler-
able"

Let's Go Fishing
IT'S NO SIN TO
USE WORMS IF
FLIES WON'T DO
Many Times Fish Won't
Take Feathers, So Why
Go Empty Handed?
BY GEORGE DENNY
(Pinch Hitting for Lefty Lee)

1t seems to us that there is lot
of unfortunate hooey in this fishing
business The fly fisherman has
his nose a little higher in the air
than the man who casts plugs or
spinners and the caster in turn is
trifle condescending toward the
angler who fishes with worms or
minnows.
I've heard men say that if they
couldn't get 'em with dry fly, they
rather would not fish. I'm a fly
7 fisherman myself, and I'm sold on
the idea that there's no sport quite
like it. But there are many times
that fish just won't take the feath-
ers. So, why should I return
empty-handed when a juicy worm
f1shed deep will provide action?
The best trout fisherman that I
know has a cottage on the Pere
Marquette river near Baldwin,
Mich. He knows every inch of the
water for miles upstream and down.
He doesn't try for the little eight
or nine-inch ones, bu for the old
daddys. If the particular trout that
he is casting for will not rise to his
dry fly offerings, he will tie on a
wet fly or nymph.
After the artificialS have had their
chance he is not a bit too proud to
try a grasshopper, minnow or red
worm. AS often as not he will lib
crate the fish after the net has
closed over it. He never keeps more
than he can use that day.
With this old sportsman the thrill
is not in the heavy creel of small,
unwary trout. It's the matching of
wits with the wise old cannibal
browns, the bottom feeders, that he
lives for. These trout seldom rise
to fly. Should the angler deprive
himself of his only chance to do
battle with real antagonist be-
cause he is a dry fly man" only?
Isn't it the same with our bass
fishing in Indiana? Just once last
season did happen to be on hand
when the bronzebackS were gorging
,on hatch Of large flies. For twen-
ty minutes my caddis imitation
fished dry was deadly, but when
the hatch was over I had to go down
after them with the old reliable
spinner and bucktail.
Every plug caster remembers the
day when the bass ignored all his
lures except the one particularly
battle SCARED old bait that he had
almost thrown away a dozen times.
Or maybe his entire assortment
Melted him nothing while the cane
pole fisherman on the opposite bank
using crickets for bait pulled in
several handles.
No, it's not how much you spent
for your tackle or what lure you
prefer, but the skill that you show
with the tools that you have. It's
the care and patience and love of
the sport.
And if you keep an understood
fish I hope your sportsmen friends
will tell you what you should be told.

Leland G.. Morgan Files
for County Prosecutor
Young G. o. P. Organization
Chairman Announces
Program Points.

Leland c. Morgan, county chair
man of the Young Republican Or
ganization of Marion county, today
filed his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for Marion county
prosecutor.
Mr.. Morgan is a member of the
Masonic order, Sigma Delta Kappa
legal fraternity, West Park Chris
tan church and the indianapolis
Bar Association. He is 90, married
and lives at 4914 East Tenth street.
Mr.. Morgan has said in a state
ment:
81 am filing notice of my candi-
dacy for prosecutor of Marion
county because I believe that there
is a rare opportunity for a fighting
young man in that job. In recent
years, this position has become
nothing but an appendix to the po-
lice force. 1t is the solemn duty
of prosecutor to prosecute and not
to be a rubber stamp for the police
or cash register for political
favors.
Points OF my program are:
81. The Indiana statutes give the
prosecutor almost unlimited author
ity to initiate and push through his
own Investigations. This power has
fallen into utter disuse.
2. When an erring youth steps
outside society for the first time
and steals few dollars, the prose-
cutOr treats him with the utmost
severity. The boy receives ten years
in prison and another John Dill
,inC2r is in the making.
W Oth~r hand. men in high
places have caused losses of mil
lions of dollars representing the
painfully accumulated savings OF
DIN. Inc prosecutor has
made not one move to place the
facts concerning these losses before
the public. If these bankers have
violated the law they should be
prosecuted. If they have not they
should be indicated, but the people
have every right to know down to
the smallest detail what happened
to their money.
%. Many ugly rumorS have beer
abroad for a year concerning thu
handling of liquor in Indiana. Per
istent reports of payoffs, stock
jobbery and inside deals hav
reached the ears of every citizen O
this state. Persons close to Indi
ana's chief executive suddenly hav
shown an unusual interest in tn
business side of beer. If elected
pledge myself to lay all of the fact
regarding liquor control before tn
people.
q. I guarantee that if I an
elected every indictment for whicl
I ask will represent an honest be
lief on my part that an actua
crime has been committed. I shal
never prostitute the sacred powe
Of the grand jury to unworthy pur
poSes."

The screen celebrity who made

Quite the contrary. 1t would

Of the society that Mae Vests
pictures are not the best sort Of
films to see.
This report, submitted by Mrs.

Of the committee, states:
eff good films are to predOm-
mate, people must be informed
as to how clean and fine they
are and must support only the
best. Little Women broke box

"Yet the same nation caused
Mae Vests second film to pay

novelty rather than vulgarity
was the cause of the success Of
the two West films; the third

Every banking institution still

Would LiberaIize Policy
President Roosevelt's opposition
to the Mcleod bill, as now writ
ten is based upon his belief that
certain inequities would occur in
it's operation. He believes that
the present policy of extending
bank relief through the RIGS
purchase of assets and making
loans is preferable.
He comedies that perhaps the
present policy has not been lib
eral enough, and to that end has
ordered the re-eXamination Of
the institutions still closed.
Recently the President said, in
speaking of the Mcleod bill, that
he and his family had lost money
in other bank failures as far
back as the turn of the century,
and facetiously suggested that
perhaps the Mcleod bill might
be extended to include recovery
for these losses.

WAY SMOOTHED
FOR TAX BILL
PASSAGE
Conferees Study Compromise
to Satisfy President on
Philippines Levy
By International News Service

The path to Presidential ap-
proval of the new revenue act
may be cleared today through a
compromise move designed to Sc
cure early independence for the
Philippine Islands.
The President was reported to
be considering q veto Of the reve-
nut act because both branches Of
Congress voted to tax vegetable
oil Imports, after he asked -ex-
emption of Philippine cocoanut
oil and copra imports.
New Inquiry Planned
The compromise move revolved
around a joint resolution, propos-
ing a special commission to in
vestigate Philippine conditions
and report how soon the Filipinos
can be given immediate indie
pendence. The resolution also
would exempt specific quotas of
Philippine cocoanut oil and copra
from the revenue bills tax. This
move, it was understood, would
be acceptable to the President.
The tax bill meanwhile went to
conference with the conferees ex-
pecting an early adjustment Of
differences between the. House
and Senate. The two principal
disputes involved the Senate S
action in eliminating conSoli-
dated corporation returns and
imposing complete publicity Of all
income tax returns.
Compromise on Publicity
There were reports that the
House conferees would insist
upon retention of consolidated
corporation returns, plus the
House provision imposing a two
per cent penalty tax when cor
porations use joint returns. This
would make the joint rate 1874
per cent instead of the 1874 per
cent applying to single corpora
ton returns.
On publicity, it was believed
the conferees would approve q
compromise making public the
names and tax paid by tax pay
ers paying income taxes in ex-
cess of $1,000. This would not
make the return subject to pub
lie inspection, as was voted by
the Senate.
