"Why, no." Bryn said calmly. II
wouldn't mind. I'd have to go out and
in through your sitting room, though.
Wouldn't you dislike that?"
"What I was trying to tell you when

him. "is that it's too late for me to
keep thinking what like and what
don't"
So it was settled.

Flowers Are Dramatic

White flowers on black gown
are dramatic; and on a white
gown they emphasize an effect of
simplicity. A spot of brilliant
scarlet on white gown is gorgeous.
Color harmony may be achieved
by wearing flowers that blend into
the general tone of the costume,
or with contrasting compile
mentary color.

Birds Not Hiqh FLYERS

Students of migration used to
believe that birds travelled at
heights above $4,000 feet. They
had the idea that flying was east
err in high al6tudes. Every avn
ator today knows just the oppo-
site is the truth. Most birds fly
below 5000 feet in migration, and
some of them will even cross
wide stretches of water only
a few feet above the waves.

WYTTENBACH WILL
SEEK C0RONERSH|P
ArbuckIe's Deputy Enters
Democratic Race.

DR.. John E. Wyttenbach, deputy
coroner for three years under DR..
William Arbuckle, today announced
his candidacy for Marion County
coroner, subject to the Democratic
primary election in May.
AS his platform he stated he will
keep down the autopsy rate to a
necessary minimum. and that he
will seek to establish. probably
through charitable donations, a
crime laboratory to help in detec-
ton, prosecution and conviction OF
criminals.
Dr. Wyttenbach served as men,
Der of the house staff at. st. Vim
cents Hospital following his gradu-
alton from Indiana University and
later served in residency at the New
York City Hospital. He later was
house surgeon and manager of the
Indiana Christian Hospital.
He took post graduate work in
surgery at the University of Penn
sylvania and has been engaged in
the general practice of medicine in
Indianapolis since 1928 with offices
in the Hume Mansur Building and
at 1889 Howard-st. He resides at
1912 N. Meridian-st.

structed delegation plan to per-
petuate their control of the party.
Neither of these leaders can claim
much support IN Ohio beyond that
which adheres to the Office he
holds.
Mr.. Brown was elected commit
teeman following his success as
Herbert Hoover's campaign man.
ager in Ohio in 1923. He has many
enemies within the party SIS re-
suit of the 1923 contest, as we'll as
because of his identity with the
Bull Moose revolt in 1912 1t is
charged that he did not become
an organization man until he OBJ
tanned control of the organization.
Schorr Elevated in 1880
Mr.. Schorr was elevated to the
Craftsmanship when Gov. Myers Y.
Cooper sought a second term in
1880, in which he was unsuccessful.
He has held on largely because his
critics have been without a rallying
point, it is said
Mr.. Schorr has not been an
aggressive leader it is felt. There
is strong feeling among rank and
file workers that he has used his
position as party leader to build
up private law practice in Column
bus at the party's expense. Success
sive defeats of Republican guberna-
torial candidates in 1880, 1882 and
1884 have given color to this conten-
ton, they say.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Schorr proposed
the uninstructed delegation pro-
gram to the Republican state CEN
trail committee at recent meeting,
and obtained its Endorsement of the
plan. this program has become a
target for the Brown Schorr oppo-
sition, as we'll as for those favoring
a free-for-all primary. Efforts have
been made to bring Gov. ALT M
Landon of Kansas into Ohio to up
set the organizations slate. Back
ers of Frank Knox also were ap-
preached Neither could be inter-
ested, possibly because their friends
here were convinced by organiza-
ton spokesman that both candidates
were acceptable to Messrs. Brown
and Schorr.
This revolt against the Brown
Schorr leadership probably will
strengthen the Borah candidacy,
followers of the situation say. In
his own right, the Idahoan is given
better than an even change to win
the eight delegates at large, and q
number of district delegates in
Northern Ohio, provided he enters
district as we'll as "at large" dele
gates
Many observers believe that Gov.
Landon may be stronger than Mr..
Borah in southern Ohio, but the
Governor is not expected to enter
the Ohio primary.

Capital Is SnoWb0und

DU tUtbtH FTFSS
WASHINGTON, Feb. Record
snowfall damned the capitals traf-
fic and halted legislative delibera-
tions in the Senate as members
were unable to break through drifts.
The snow was the heaviest that
had fallen in the capital since the
Knickerbocker Theater disaster in
1922.
Street cars, BUSES and automo-
biles were stalled. many schools
were closed and preparations were
made to close government offices
early to enable workers to reach
their homes as the snowfall con-
tinued.
More than a foot of snow fell in
nine hours and the fall was con-
tinuing at the rate of an inch and
a half an hour. "A strong wind was
piling the snow into mountainous
drifts.
