THE REFLECTOR SOUTH WHITLEY, IND., FEB. 2, 1936 No. 1 LADY SENATOR INFLUENCES THE HOUSE. Miss Senator White Has Good Argumentative and Influ- ential Ability. Washington, D. C, Feb. 1.— A bill was intioduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Carrol Snyder yesterday propos- ing that the votes of women In Congress should count only one- third as much as the votes of men. His argument was based on the fact that men should be at the head of the house by Bibli-- cal law and that women were not skilled and educated for gov- ei ' nment work as much as the men. Miss Prudence White, a lady senator from Indiana, appeared belbre the House with a read.v answer in the form of a debate. She declared that although men are said to be at the head of the house, it was meant only in domestic affairs, and moreover, if the Bible was to be taken as- a standard, tlie women were to be consulted and given proper recognition. Miss White further stated that the women of today are given as thorough education in the ways of government as men. She asserted that women are not as easily bribed as men into political schemes and vices. Sho mentioned several instances of such actions taken by men in our government. When a vote was taken on tliis bill, it was killed. Best Mechanic In State Injured. Thomas Rody, general mana- ger of the South Whitley Ma- chine Works, was seriously in- jured today, when the flywheel on the most powerful steam en- gine in the United States burst into pieces while Mr. Rody was testing its speed. A portion of the wheel passed through his chest, utterly destroying his left lung. Mr. Rody is one of the best mechanics in the state, and all possible aid is being given for his recovery. Noted Missionaries to Speak. Next Wednesday evening at the M. E. Church, Mr. and Mrs. Bayard Craw, two noted mis- sionaries who have just return ed from the Cannibal Islands, will give an illustrated lecture which will be higlily entertain- ing as well as instructive. Mrs. Craw, formerly Miss Dor- othy Ray, is well known as a gifted missionary and has spoken in this section before. She was married ten years ago to Ml-. Craw, an old classmate, after she had converted him.

THE REFLECTOR Page 2 THE INSPIRATION Feb. 2, 1936 COURT NEWS. Famous Divorce Case Settled — Lawyer Especially Interested. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 1. — ■ Norman Miller, of Indianapolis, has in the last few years be- come a noted lawyer, his spe- cialty seeming to be divorce cases. He has finally settled the interesting divorce case be- tween Mrs. Oma Baker and Arthur Baker. Mr. Miller rep- resented the former. He gave one of the most famous rebut- tals ever recorded, and will probably rank with Patrick Henry, Clay and Calhoun. It is rumored that Mr. Miller had strong personal reasons for speaking so ably. Mrs. Baker, or Miss Merrick, for she has been given her maiden name, was formerly a schoolmate of Lawyer Miller at the South Whitley high school. New Oil Wells Found Near South Whitley. Oil wells are being found and established about three miles southeast of South Whitley on a farm owned by Gilbert Graf. Mr. Graf first became inter- ested when he noticed oil on a pond of water and later discov- ered oil in the water of his flowing wells. He made inves- tigation and thought it might be worth his time to put down a well. He has one well working at present. It is producing a very good grade of petroleum in large quantities. Mr. Graf refuses to lease his ground, but is building and es- tablishing the wells himself. By spring he hopes to have a small refinery ready for busi- ness. This will be a great booster and cause a large in- crease in tthe population of South Whitlev. Scientific Farmerette Makes a Fortune. Frances Ulrey, a well-known poultry raiser, has been working on an experiment which has proven to be a success and will undoubtedly make her the most wealthy person in the United States. She has discovered a new tonic which will make chickens grow large very rapidly. Sue experimented with a few of her chickens by giving them the tonic and in two weeks they weighed twenty-five pounds. Miss Ulrey has always lived on a farm since her school days, and her interest in gardening and poultry raising seems to be steadily increasing. She now has a hen, Fluffy Ruffles, which took the prize at t he world ' s fair last summer. The results of her many experiments have at last won for her lasting fame and wealth. SP0R1 SECTION.
