PtlD TO GERMANY FLATLY DENIED BY M. CAILLAUX Belief Growing Former Pre mier of France Will Be Ac quitted of Treason. MENTAL VIGOR PROVED PARIS, Feb. 24.—Joseph Caillaux's al ! •oged connection with the sensational es tort of German agents to purchase the I Paris Journal for propaganda purposes during the war came up when the trea son trial of the former premier was re sumed today before the senate, sitting j as a high court of justice. M. Caillaux denied knowledge of the j negotiations, although he admitted he j was acquainted with former Senator ; Humbert and two members of the Lenoir , family who were involved in the deal. The younger Lenoir was subsequently | executed by a French firing squad on the Vincennes execution field and Senator j Humbert was banished to Spain, where ; he is now living. > DENIES PLOT WITH LENOIRS. In his explanation of defense the for- j mer premier gave fresh demonstration ' of his remarkable facility for memory, which was a notable feature of the last i session of the court Friday. He readily recalled names, dates and incidents. lie admitted conversations with the Le noirs. but was emphatic in declaring that If they were carrying on pro-Ger man negotiations he was not implicated in them. The possibility that local politics would be dragged into the evidence at tracted an eno-mous crowd to Luxem burg palace, whore the case is in prog ress. The impression is gaining ground among some of the persons who have been following the trial since it opened last Tuesday that the government may not be able to convict the former pre mier unless startling new evidence Is produced. So far the interrogations of the prosecution and the court have touched only upon matters that nave been discussed in the French parliament and the press. REVEALS OLD-TIME MENTAL VIGOR. M. Caillaux is showing all his oid iime mental vigor in combating the bril liant array of prosecuting counsel. Dur ing the testimony today while the prosecution was establishing the conten tion that the prisoner had dealings with the Lenoirs, M. Caillaux broke in by saying: “Ah. but it is the duty of the state to prove that there was criminality in any such negotiations. Mme. Caillaux, statuesque and beauti fully gowned, who killed Gaston Calmette, editor of I.e Figaro, when be threatened to publish a batch of Caillaux's love let ters during a political campaign in 1914, is attending every session of the trial and following the evidence word by word. GOODRICH PLAN TO MEET FIGHT (Continued From Page One.) way commission of Indiana can be broad ly divided into three counts. 1. Their width is not sufficient and their depth Is not sufficient to accommodate the traffic they must endure. 2, They are uot being laid out with a view to meeting the demands of transportation for savings on grades, elimination of curves and general economy in motor operation. 8. They are of a type that shows an apparent saving in initial cost, but which has been found in other states to be exceedingly costly to maintain and In the long run a great deal more expensive than good roads properly built. The proof of the first count lies in a comparison of the type of roads Indiana is building with the type that has been adopted by New York as a result of twenty-one years of road building ex perience. Indiana is laying miles of cement concrete roads, sixteen feet wide, four Inches deep, and expecting them to serve as trunk lines through the state. EXPERT DESCRIBES NARROW ROAD MENACE. Writing in the Engineering News Kecord for September, 1919, H. E. Breed, formerly first deputy commissioner of highways for New Y'ork, said; “An improved road that is also a nar row road is a menace. It atracts to itael? more traffic that It can accommo date, and resultant wrecks strew its shoulders. No main highway should be designed less then twenty feet for pave, ment surface and thirty-twe feet between ditches. Subsidiary roads should be at least sixteen feet with shoulders ex fended to twenty six feet and curves widened from four to eight feet for safety. Ail highways when built should be designed so readily to permit add! tional widening." Indiana's commission not only hat: standardized the sixteen-foot road but has made no provision for widening at curves or in the hereafter. As to depth, Mr. Breed wrote: "It is fair to say that no new road, or road to be reconstructed should be built with a foundation of less than nine inches if It he of broken ston? and the depth should range from that, according to prospective traffic on the road, up to fifteen inches, which is the lowest possible allowance for through routes. “A concrete foundation should be af least six inches deep and should Tange from that, according to prospective traffic and type of surface selected, to nine inches on through routes.” Since 1907 New York state has been concerned with tbe alignment of its roads and has worked out a formula which is applied to grades and cuncs. Mr. Breed says; “If tbe saving in fuel is greater than 4 per cent of the ex penditure necessary to eiiminte the curve, then the expenditure is war ranted.” The fuel saving is estimated Ivy noting the fuel requirement to bring a car back in original momentum after slowing for the curve and multiplying this figure by a count of tbe average traffic around the curve. CURVES AND GRADES \RE NEGLECTED. No attempt has been made to avoid curves or to reduce grades in the de signing of Indiana roads, and repeat oily the most costly routes have been adopted by the commission, often with out regard either to the grade or the curves that will be necessary. Road building by the highway commis sion in Indiana has been confined ul most exclusively to the cement surface type known as the cheapest possible con struction that pretends to be “durable. - N>w York state does not build roads - , WILL APPEAR IN COLLEGE PLAY ■ —’’ PHOEBE SCHIERK, JOHN WAMSLEY and HELEN BRATTAIN. “The Witohing Hour.” to be pre sented to Indianapolis for tbe first time on the stage, will have for principal characters three leading amateurs of this city.

Helen Brattain, John Wamsley and Phoebe Schierk, who have had much experience in local productions, will of this type now, and has abandoned the nearest type to It, known as “sec ond class concrete.” because it was found that lhe maintenance cost was too great to justify its use. The cost of building the cement con crete roads that New York does build is estimated at $15,300. The present value of these roads at the present time is estimated by Mr. Breed at $15,900 a mile, including maintenance and resur facing for the last five-year period. The initial construction of roads whitNt do not equal those of New York in ! width, depth or quality today in In diana under the highway commission is from $20,000 to $25,000. It is for the purpose of building more ! of these toads, wholly inadequate to the ! needs of tomorrow and certainly lnvolv ! ing tremendous maintenance costs, that j the highway commission now seeks an | additional tax levy in Indiana. 1 The taxpayers of this state must eith j er insist that some method be devised ; to insure that the commission will be j forced to build proper durable road, or kiss its millions goodbye when they ! are voted to the use of Jim Goodrich's | appointees.

Do you realize that the ill effects of an acid stomach extend throughout the entire system and more or less affect practical'y every organ and tissue of the human body? Well, it’s a fact. For that matter, few people realize that one of the chief causes of tooth decay is a tasteless acid that forms in the month —acid-mouth the dentists call It. And so with acid-stomach— vou can't always feel its actual presence but it keeps right on creating serious damage throughout the entire system nevertheless. For instance, probably few ptwple would ever think that there could be any connection between an acid-stomach and dandruff and falling hair; or between an acid-stomach and a gouty foot. Nevertheless there ia a diract connection. Acid-stomach Interferes with digestion and assimilation. It causes the food to E. H.
