Member of Dillinger
Gang Found in Craze
Officers Think Pals Buried Him
Hastily After He was Killed
in Gun Fight

The ghostly career of John Hamil-
ton, machine gunner and one of the
most vicious of the Dillinger gang
in life, ended Friday with the finding
of his body in a shallow grave bor-
>dering a gravel pit near Oswego, III.
Three federal agents found the
outlaws Wondering remains, con-
Guiding hunt which had been inten-
sified after Hamilton, with John
pillinger and other members of the
mob, shot their way out of govern
ment trap at Little Bohemia resort
in Wisconsin, April %, 1884, killing
two men, one a federal agent.
TO Washington the agents sent
their report and there J. Edgar Hoov-
err chief of the federal bureau of in
vestigation, made the first announce
ment, to set at rest forever many
conflicting rumors as to the fate of
the accused slayer of three officers.
Participant in half dozen rich
bank robberies with the Dillinger
gang, Hamilton was believed to have
been fatally wounded April %, 1884,
near South St. Paul, Mimi, by Off;
GERS attempting to track down the
gang after the Little Bohemia foray.
No bullet wounds were apparent in
2, cursory examination of the body.
The federal agents said they identi-
fled the corpse as Hamilton's from
the teeth.
Grave Hastily Dug
The makeshift grave apparently
was hastily dug. It was a few feet
from a heavy-traveled county road,
on the edge of the gravel pit. The
body itself had not outer wrappings.
Officers said it appeared that the
body mad been swiftly dragged from
an automobile and inferred.
They recalled that the body Of
Hamilton's colleague in crime, George
(Baby Face) Nelson-slain by gov
eminent men last November 81 in a
gun battle at Darlington, In.-was
tossed into a muddy roadside ditch
the next day.
The latest achievement TO the fed
erel man hunters laid to- rest the
Hamilton "ghost," rumors which had
plagued officers for months.

Sky Ride Wrecked
as Crowd Sees Last
of Worlds Fair

A crowd estimated at 100000 wit
messed the last spectacle of the 1888
"a world fair Friday of last week
the crash of the last sky ride tower.
With scientific precision the 628-
foot steel structure weighing 1900
tons, was felled on the fairgrounds
northerly isle without any of the in
cidental damage which marked the
tumbling of it's mate six months ago.
There was vivid yellow flare as
Rufus C.. Dawes, president of the
Century of Progress exposition, threw
an electric switch on a platform on
the main land which ignited a chemi-
cal compound generation gan intense,
5000 degree heat, at the north legs
of the monster.
The heat quickly melted it's pins
to send the tower topping slowly in
cloud of thick grey smoke.
Spectators, kept at distance of
1000 feet from the danger area saw
the steel mass dig into the ground.
Then, after what seemed a noticeable
lapse, there came a roar across the
lagoon and the ground trembled
slightly at the concession.
The engineers were delighted with
thier improved technique in bringing
down candy" as the latest tower was
called, over the explosive method US
ed to start "Amos" down. In the
former instance windows in Soldier
field were shattered by the blast.
The spectators watched the down.
fall of the steel giant, the highest
structure west of the Alleghanies,
from land, lake and the air.
The traffic jam which ensued when
they started home after the exhibit
ton was termed one of the worst the
neighborhood ever experienced.
Many people from Ashe took trips
on the sky ride while attending the
Century of Progress last summer and
the summer before.

Says Bible Tells
of Ethiopian War

A recent issue of the Union Re-
publican says that war between Italy
and Ethiopia is clearly foretold in
the Scriptures, according to DR.. F. H.
Underwood, dentist and Bible student
Of Carthage, Moore county.
From reading the 18th chapter of
Daniel and Ezekiel 20 and 80, DR..
Underwood concludes that Italy will
overrun Ethiopia and later will at
tack other nations, which will fall.
Ethiopia is named in Ezekiel and the
reference to the "King of the NORTH"
DIR. Underwood believes, is Italy.
Yet the kind of Italy will come to
grief, DIR. Underwood gathers after
reading Daniel 11:41-45, which fol-
lows:
"He shall enter also into the glori-
Gus land, and many countries shall be
overthrown; but these shall escape
out of his hand, even Edom and
Moab, and the chief of the children
of Ammon.
"He shall stretch forth his hand
also upon the countries: and the land
of Egypt shall not escape.
"But he shall have power over the
treasures of gold and Of silver, and
over all the precious things of Egypt:
and the Libyans and the Philippians
shall be at his steps.
"But tidings out of the east and
out of the north shall trouble him
therefore he shall go forth with
great fury to destroy, and utterly to
make away many.
"And he shall plant the tabernacles
of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to lbs end and none sail help
him."

home making, which contains many
books on architecture, home design
interior decoration and moderniza-
tion," Miss Todd said, commenting
on the list prepared. Every day we
have requests for books which will
show various types of houses, plans
for arrangement of rooms, and the
approximate cost. Because of this
demand, we have prepared the
booklet which advises those in
terested concerning the books avail
able"
Provisions Announced
Such information also is in the
hands of architects in indianapolis,
who have full information on the
National Housing Act and its opera
ton. More recent provisions of the
act provide for new home construc-
ton, and were announced only a
few weeks ago.
Six local banks, approved by the
Federal Housing Administration
making major loans. are now quail
fled to receive applications for such
loans. They include the Fletcher
Trust Company, the Peoples State
Bank, the Indiana National Bank,
the Indiana Trust Company, the
Bankers Trust Company, and the
Union Trust Company
One of the new ideas suggested
for home builders in the current is
sue of McCall's is for clothes closet
that grows up along with the little
girl of the family. 1t has a low
rod that can be raised as dresses
and coats are heightened; easily
reached compartments for skirts,
panties, sweaters and sleepers, and
a section for hats and berets.
Room Decorated
On one door is a hook for her
nightie and a rack for her bedroom
slippers. Above them on a painted
blue background sails a new moon
and silver stars, indicating to the
child that the garment below is for
night time. On the door opposite
is painted the rising sun, a remind
er that the bathrobe hung beneath
it is for morning wear. Painted on
each compartment are the names of
the garments to be found within,
to help the little girl learn her
letters.
In painting well-aged brick,
stucco and concrete, no different
paint is required than that used for
other exterior work, according to
paint experts. If the surface are
well-aged, however, they should be
given special primers which contain
tung oil varnishes. Any high quail
ty house paint then may be used.
Ordinary brick, concrete and stucco
are unusually porous, and this is an
advantage from the painters view,
because it allows the paint to pene-
trate deeply and obtain a firm an
chorage.
The elaborate studio dressing
rooms recently finished for Jean
Harlow have been finished to match
the platinum hair of the actress.
The walls are an off-shade of white,
and so are the rugs. Miss Harlow
helped to mix the paint, to get the
shade just right.
