and legalized racket. Many honest
men are in office. and many con-
scientious office holders decry the
system against which it almost
seems political suicide for them to
fight" Mr.. Overley continued.
Attacks Appalling Waste"
"Waste-silly, appalling, reprehen-
sible, ineXcusable waste = honey
combs modern government" he de-
clared. But few men elected to
public office have the ability or the
courage to overcome it. Much Of
today's government, both state and
national, is unnecessary and has
gone far beyond my conception of
the functions Of government.
Money going into taxation is di-
verted from the productive chan
nels of legitimate business, thus
having a stagnating and throttling
effect, which it is going to be diff
cult for business to overcome.
Il am unable to understand Mr.
Overley asserted, how intelligent
men of any eXerience with business,
or with any understanding of fun
damental economic laws, can ex-
plain or excuse some of the profit
gate experimentation that has
been done in the guise, and behind
the excuse. of patriotic recovery.
"Unless some miraculous event or
effort is successful in changing the
morals of those great masses of our
people that has been and is being
ruined, so that government can be
put on a sound basis, then I am
afraid we are headed for disaster
which will be more serious than the
conditions through which we have
come during the last few years.
Il am optimistic in spite Of all
this, that our people and business
as a whole will 'wobble right in the
end in spite of the handicap Of
modern government"
A. NJ. GlOSsbrenner
Dissatisfaction with the recovery
program also was expressed by A.
M. Glossbrenner, Levey Printing
Co. president.
1--WE certainly need to be left
alone" Mr.. Glossbrenner said. For
the last two years, we have been
hampered by confusing legislation,
until business today doesn't know
which way to turn. I have been
through depressions before and
have seen economic changes for the
last 40 years.
IF business can be let alone and
if natural economic laws can be al
lowed to run their course, we will
come out of the present difficulty
in time. What American business
men need today is confidence.
while the President has invited
constructive criticism of his pro-
gram, don't think he ever has fol-
lowed these suggestions. I certain
ly don't think that when the essen
tial outline of what has been done
rises into view that doubts and mis-
apprehensions of business will van
ish We should allow natural laws
to work us out of this depression.

nNE of the most fascinating
~ angles about aviation is that we
make our decisions without calling
conferences and without asking
opinions. And there's a real thrill
in the realization of how important
these decisions may be.
After staging a demonstration of
airmanship with my little Hawk for
the youngsters of New Orleans, l
packed all of my baggage on board
and when l start to place all my
little bags and grips and funny little
bundles in various secret compart-
ments of that high-poWered little
single-seater, it reminds me of the
days when the Army was attempt
ing to carry mail in fighting ships.
BY the use of a thin, worn 25-cent
piece, I open up little compart-
ment here and another one there,
and into each goes little bag that
just fits the available space. So
finally with all my baggage on board
and snugged down, started away
from New orleans FOR Atlanta, Ga.
1 told you something be fore about
the difficult country to fly over in
Louisiana, about long, dismal
swamps, stagnant green water, alli-
gators, snakes, mosquitoes, the thin
ribbon of highway that was the only
surface to accommodate my ship in
case of forced landing, and how

There it is Junior Aviators-the
Kiwi Derby. And it gives every boy
sand girl in the nationwide Junior
Aviator organization a chance to
learn how to build scale model air.
planes.
Best of all, the materials should
not cost penny. If you can get
bit of glue from Dads work
bench or mothers pantry, and few
pieces of wood of some sort, you
have all you need to enter. If you
want to color your models, just use
some of the leftover paints that
you have in the basement or, your
water colors should do the job very
well.
There'll be attractive prizes, an
nounced later, in each of the three
divisions for the winners, including
number of fine model kits with
which you can build your own fly
ing models. But remember, you
can't use any kind of model kits in
this derby
For your plans you may use dia-
grams published in magazines or
the Junior Aviator pages, or you
may use pictures of airplanes clipped
from newspapers and try to dupli-
cate them in wood and paper.
SO get to work-you have until
Feb. l, 1886, just six weeks includ-
ing your Xmas holidays-to do the
Job.

And that's exactly what the KiWi
Derby is going to be-a Notifying

Hundreds of earnest wing COM
manders, flight commanders and
squadron leaders from wing and
squadrons throughout the nation
have told of junior pilots who want
to start building model plans, but
who don't have the money to buy
supplies of balsa wood, japanese
tissue, wire and props. right now.
There's many fine boy and girl
who can't afford those things,
though perhaps they've a real gift

The rules of The derby are simple:

3 DEFUNCT CITY
BANKS DECLARE
YULE DIVIDENDS
S141,0 900 Is Distributed to
Depositors in Time
for Christmas.

Depositors of three defunct In
dianapolis banks have received
Christmas presents of dividends in
excess of Sal 900, it was announced
today by the receivers.
The City Trust Co. declared a 5
per cent dividend amounting to
$4,000 last Saturday, Oren S. Hack,
receiver, said. A similar dividend
payment was made in October, 1884.
The Aetna Trust & Savings Co.,
declared 712 per cent dividend
amounting to 100000 last month,
officials said. A 2 per cent dividend
was paid this week by Maple-rd
State Bank, E. Kirk Mckinney, re-
ceiver, said. The amount paid was
1854 and brings the total dividend
payment up to 3915 per cent.
Litigation prohibits the Washing
ton State Savings & Trust Co.,
Farmers Trust Co. and Meyer-Kiser
Bank from declaring dividends at
this time, receivers said.
Receivers for the j. F.. Wild &
Co. State Bank and State Savings
& Trust saw no prospect Of dividend
payments, and the Belmont State
Bank anticipates dividend pay
ment soon after the holidays.

Lyric TO Offer
Charlie Davis
City Musician and Band to
Appear April Is.

Charlie Davis and his orchestra
which has been featured on both
national networks recently as well
as in the famous Hollywood Cafe,
New York City, are booked to ap-
pear in person on the stage OF the
Lyric Easter week, beginning Fri
day, April 10.
1t will mark the first appearance
of Davis and his band in this city
in more than two years.
Co-incident with the announce
ment of the stage booking, the Lyric
has also booked for the week be-
ginning Friday the new Warner
Bros. short musical film entitled
Echoes" featuring Charlie Davis
and his band in 10 minutes of music.
Prominent in the reel along with
Davis are Frankie Parrish, Clarence
CODY Morrison, Harry Willeford,
Ralph Bonham and other Indian
apolis musicians.
The stage engagement of Davis
and his band April 10 at the Lyric
was arranged by Charles M. Olson
on a business trip to New York. Mr..
Olson gave Davis and his orchestra
its first booking in theater when
he engaged them to play at the Ohio
in 1923 shortly after the Indian

apolis bandsman came home from
South Bend where he had been a
student at the University of Notre
Dame.
After being given that first OPP
portunity, Davis and his band con-
tinued at the Ohio with increasing
success until 1927.
Davis and his band opened their
record run at the Indiana Sept. 10,
1927 and he remained there until
Jan. 81, 1881 with only two weeks
vacation during the period.
He moved to New York to play
at the de luxe Paramount theater
for a 10-week engagement which
was heightened into a 10-month
stay during which time he and the
band made a short film for Para
mount.
Davis returned to the Indiana
early in 1882 for several weeks,
playing afterwards at the Indiana
Roof, and then moving to the En-
boyd theater, Fl. Wayne.
Early in 1888 he again went to
New York to replace Ted Lewis at
the Hollywood restaurant. Davis has
been in New York ever since. He
was recently succeeded by Rudy
Vallee and his orchestra at the
Hollywood Cafe, and since has
played Loew'S theaters in New York.
