a decision made at a meeting of the
school board last night.
The ground under consideration con
sists of a quarter block on the south
west corner of California and Market

It estimated the price of the land

the board of public works granted a pe
tition of the school board for the closing
of West Court street.-- thus connecting
th* two sites and work on a new'school

proposal for the dismissal of George
Baker, foreman of custodians and la
borers in the school, which met with the
disapproval of the school commissioners.

HAAGS IN ATTACK
ON REED DRY LAW
Indicted Druggists Call Act
Unconstitutional.
*
The federal court has before It today
a demurrer filed by attorneys for Herb
ert L. Haag, Louis E. Haag and Julius
A. Haag, under Indictment by the fed
eral grand jury for alleged violation of
the Reed amendment, challenging the
constitutionality of the amendment.
The demurrer avers that each of the
thirty counts of the indictments filed
by the federal grand jury against the
defendants fails to state facts sufficient
to constitute an offense against the laws
of the United States. S
It further avers that the facts set forth
in the indictments are of a vague na
ture and not plain enough to inform
the defendants sufficiently of the na
ture and cause of the action against
them as required by article 6 of the
amendments of the constitution of the
United States.
Other than that, the law is unconsti
tutional and void, the demurrer states.
The indictment and its various counts,
the demurrer states, are based upon sec
tion 5 of the act of March 3, 1917.
This act provides that whosoever shall
cause intoxicating liquor to be trans
ported in interstate commerce into any
state or territory, the laws of which pro
hibit the manufacture and sale of intoxi
cating liquors for beverage purposes,
shall be punished.
The demurrer holds that this is un
constitutional in that it is without sup
port by ap authority conferred upon con
gress by the constitution to make such
laws, and that it violated the fifth amend
ment to the constitution, in that its en
forcement would be a deprivation of lib
erty and property without due process
of law.
Sugar Theft Brings
Action by Detectives
Sugar thieves who have robbed a num
ber of freight cars in Indianapolis re
cently broke into a car at Montcalm and
Twenty second street last night and to
day city detectives have joined railroad
officers in trying to run down the rob
bers.
The car which was on the Big Four
tracks was so full of sugar that the
thief could force the door only partly
open and could not get the sacks out,
but slashed those near the door and got
about 100 pounds.
A car wus broken into near the state
fair grounds three weeks ago and S3,OW>
worth of sugar stolen

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL S. DCFFEE.
When Ifß Music.
The various brands of music-making
machines now on the market have made
music a much more frequent form of
diversion than it ever was before, but
there are certain things about these ma
chines that ought to be supervised by
a certain code of rules.
For one thing, the music-making ma
chine never gets tired and therefore is
capable of making Itself extremely ob
jectionable.
If you are In a boarding-house, you
ought to make a hard and fast rule
never to play your machine more than
an hour at a time, and never to play
it after 10 o’clock at night; also, if
you know there is a child or an old
person who Is accustomed to take a nap
at a certain time of day, keep silence
then.
If you are In your own house, you
can play the machine as long as you
like, but even then it is a good plan
not to play it late at night, especially
if you have near neighbors and the
windows are open.
When your friends ask you to listen
to anew record, you should listen with
a show of interest, even if 1 you do not
feel it.
Never inflict your new records on
friends who have a positive dislike to
machine music.
These persons are few, but they do
exist, and it is the part of thoughtful
ness on your part to recognize their
prejudice.—Copyright 1920.
j LAST NIGHT’S DREAMS
I —And What They Mean—
Did you dream of the neck?
* According to the mystics such a dream
is an omen of wealth, honor and happi
ness.
If a person already .veil off as to this
world’s goods dreams his neck is grow
ing larger it is a sign that his riches
will increase.
If a person who is now poor has this
dream it foretells a fortune which is
coming to him.
It is a bad sign, however, to dream that
one’s neck is growing thin and shriveling
up, or that one has a wry neck.
To dream that one is having hia neck
so compressed that he is strangling is an
omen of probable losses for speculators,
money lenders, contractors and financier*,
but for all others it is an omen of suc
<esg after going through some unpleasant
experiences.
If the dreamer is in anv unpleasant
situation at present. It is a sure sign that
he will be extricated from it.
To dream that you have more than one
head is an omen that you will rise to
great honors in the community—probably
enjoy some public office cf importance.
Should a woman dream her neck Is
broken It is a warning to be on the look
out or some of her Jewelry or other valu
ables will be stolen.—Copyright, 1920.
