Collection of Pottery
In her collection Mrs. Bohn
has some interesting pieces of
Chinese pottery of this same
shade of blue. Then, too, she
has some Lalique glass, which
fits artistically into the general
scheme. Balancing the colors,
there are several handsome
wine-colored creations from Ger

When the final touches have
been made and everything is in
its elected place, one will find a
few dainty antique gold pieces
scattered here and there. On
one side of the room will be the
oil painting of the Secretary,
copied from the one that hangs
over the fireplace in the Roper
home on Woodland Drive. An
exceedingly interesting fact is
that this Cabinet daughter has
in her possession portrait OF
Margaret Moore, another Cab

years ago, whose father, Sir
Thomas Moore, was one OF
Henry WIS righthand men.
Not only that, but the English
miss who sat for her picture so
long ago married into the Roper
family.

little more spare time, Mrs.
Bohn plans to write a biog-

she and DR.. Bohn take an &C"

DROUGHT COCKTAIL
RECIPE EXPLAINED
Rain Shortage Is Factor,
SAYS Water Co.
Ever have a drought cocktail?

Ever nave a drought cOcKCalI!
Go to your water tap, draw a
glass of water, drink it, You just
had one. 1t may be musty, but it's
pure.
It's this way, according to In
dianapolis Water Co. officials. The
1884 drought was the most severe of
recent years and the year closed
with 38 per cent deficiency in rain
fall.
SO there is less water in the
streams of the state and watershed,
to the point that White River,
which supplies the city with its wa
ter. reached a record low point last
August. 1t has raised some by now
but still is remarkably low.
This means less water to absorb
the gases rising from the river bot
tom, so the gases are more pro-
nounced in the little water there
is and that is what you taste.
Added to this special drought con-
dition is the perennial condition
that arises from ice and snow and
puts a new taste in the water.
Later on you'll catch the oil-bear-
ing synura, tarty little water bug,
but that can wait.

baby, states attorneys assembled a
score or more witnesses who Will
they believe, completely shatter
HaUptmann's defense.
The state believes HaUptmann will
try to prove that Isidor Fisch, dead
German furrier, wrote the ransom
notes and gave him the ransom
money found in his possession at
the time Of his arrest. It also was
known that Hauptmann would at
tempt to prove he was nowhere
near Hopewen and the home of the
Lindberghs, March l. 1882, the. night
the baby was stolen.
New Jersey, 1t was said authori-
tatively, is prepared to disprove be-
yond question all these alibis.
Friends of both Hauptmann and
Fisch Will testify that Hauptmann
met Fisch the first time months
after the kidnapping. Other wit
nesses will testify that Hauptmann
was spending Lindbergh money
after Fisch returned to Germany
and months before he says he found
the money in a package Fisch had
left with him.

Hauptmann Is Nervous
One was believed to be a Ger

Fisch on his death bed. All were
intended to be surprise" witnesses,
but the United Press reported their
departure from LIE Havre, France,
last week.
Hauptmann returned to court
from a restless weekend in mis- cell
He was said to be increasingly
nervous with revelation, step by
step, of New Jerseys case against
MIN, which was reported much
stronger than anticipated by de-
PENDANT or his counsel.
AS the third week of the trial
opened, this country town, enjoying
its first appearance in the world
spotlight, was enlivened by a
number of street rumorS. One said
one of the jurors was i'll and might
not be able to continue. This was
based on the fact that Rosie
Concur, one of the jury's guards,
received medical treatment last
night for an infected toe.
Ladder Testimony Near
Another rumor said the State had
offered to give Hauptmann life i'm
prisonment if he would confess and
name his accompliceS. This gave
officials a hearty laugh.
The testimony of handwriting
experts continuing today was eX-
pected to last until Wednesday, per-
haps until Thursday. They will be
followed by other expert witnesses
who will say they can trace the
