It blends—safely No fear of mixing American Ice with any cooling drink. Water is ALL that goes into it. Every block is as clear and as obviously pure as a mountain brook, as it bubbles from its spring. And—it also blends safely with your bank account. A pound in your ice box costs less than a cent. But that is because it is made on a QUAN- TITY basis which, as everyore knows, insures best for least. American Ice is as carefully served in kitchenette pounds as in hotel tons.

LOS ANGELES, July 21.—Another phase of the Aimee Semple McPherson kidnaping §nvestigation has ended with little light thrown on the vari. ous mysterious angles of the case, as far as the public is concerned. Af- ter an exhaustive inquiry, including summoning of witnesses from many parts of the country and collection of a mass of evidence, the Los Angeles County grand jury yesterday reported nothing had been found to warrant indictments for kidnaping. Before making its report, the grand Jjury considered indictments prepared by District Attorney Asa Keyes against two men and a woman Wwho Mrs. McPherson alleges abducted her and held her for ransom. The jury, however, left the way open for fur- ther investigation by announcing it was ready at any time to consider new evidence. First Reported Drowned. ‘When Mrs. McPherson disappeared May 18 at the beach at Oceon Park, her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, and others sald she was drowned. Thousands of the pastors, followers and members of ~Angelus: Temple, her “four square gospel” church, mourned and held a memorial meet- ing. Then on June 23 Mrs. McPher- son reappeared at Agua Prieta, Mex- ico, and said she had been kidnaped. Had the grand jury returned & blanket indictment against the al- leged kidnapers, the action would have been construed as substanti- ating the evangelist'’s story. The only official comment on the grand jury’s failure to find a true bill came Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan, who directed the investigation. “The action of the grand jury ex- plains fully the weight of evidence ip the case” was his brief expla- nation. Attorneys for Mrs. McPherson, however, see a vindication of the evangelist's kidnaping story in the findings of the grand jury. “The official investigation not only bears out her story and proves it true, but reveals her to the world as a truthful, upright woman, who has withstood the attacks in a religious, God-fearing manner,” the three law- vers declared In_a statement given out at Angelus Temple. Anxious to Clear Up Case. District Attorney Keyes and at- torneys for Mrs. McPherson indicated they were anxious to continue the in- | quiry until the case was cleared up. The evangelist's counsel declared the grand jury had only added another chapter to the Investigation, and promised revelations in the near future, with possibly the capture of kidnapers. myemm District Attorney Keyes came the statement that his office would not let up in its efforts to solve the mystery until Kenneth G. Ormiston, former radio operator at Angelus Temple and sald now to be in New York, returned here for questioning. Ormiston, in a letter to Keyes, in- formed the district attorney that he had no intention of testifying in the case because he had no knowledge of the evangelist's movements during the time of her :llsa,gg;mnce. a8 itnesses tes! N se{:n;}laawlumed last night that 14 of the 17 members of the grand jury had refused to yote for kidnaping indictments. ' Two of three jurors who voted to indict were reponfid to have done so merely to keep the case open for possible further developments. — TELEGRAM TO THAW BRINGS NO REPLY Girl and Family Maintain Camp at Winchester on Public Contributions. 81 al Dispatch to The Star. w';mcnas'mn, Va., July 21—A prepaid telegram was sent to Harry K.

THE EVENING Cardinal Forbids Dances as Profane, Also Modern MILAN, Italy, July 21.—Cardinal Tosi, Archbishop of Milan, “has placed a ban upon public dances and other “profane manifestations :lmm Catholics in his jurisdic- on. ' 2 In & vigorous letter, . urging members of his archdiocese to wage & campalgn against immodest dressing also, the cardinal asks them to work toward lifting ‘“the general standard of conduct to a more serious level, more compat- able with the exigencles of the present hour.” The cardinal has also ordered that women who insist on dress- ing too moderly ‘be refused en- tranca to Catholic churches. He has admonished his clergy to aban- don any celebrations under their auspices unless it is certain that such conduct as dancing will be avoided. POLICE PROBE FINDING OF WOMAN GAGGED Mrs, Myrtle Rosenfield of Mount Rainier Robbed of $15 by Two Strangers, Report. Special Dispatch to The Star," HYATTSVILLE, Md, "July 21.— Constable Thomas H. Garrison this morning is investigating the case of Mrs. Myrtle Rosenfield of Mount Rainier, who was found by her hus- band about 11:30 o’'clock last night, bound to her bedpost. The woman said two persons, one of them apparently a woman, attacked her in the dark as she was about to turn on a light, and tried to force a drug down her throat. She had been sitting on the porch of the home. About 10:40 o'clock, she said, she went into the house to retire. The hus- band, C. F. Rosenfleld, who is con- nected with the Rosenfield Aircraft Co. of 2601 Ninth street northeast, released his wife and summoned the police. Mrs. Rosenfleld’s purse was found empty on a table. She said it had contained $16. Dr. J. T. Maloney of Cheverley, Md., treated Mrs. Rosen- field, whose condition is not serious. DRSS, A5 AU PERSHING INDORSED FOR HEAD OF LEGION George Washington Post Starts Movement to Make General National Commander. Gen. John J. Pershing, a charter member of George Washington Post, No. 1, the pioneer post of the Ameri- can Legion, was officially indorsed for national commander of the American Legion by the post at a meeting last night at its headquarters, 1829 I street. Past Comdr. Wallace Streater, who served under Gen. Pershing overseas, presented his name and the indorse- ment was unanimous. A resolution adopted at the same time provided that the delegates to the next depart- ment convention, to be held August 27-28, be instructed to present his name for this high office and urge his indorsement by the convention in order-that the delegation might take the same action at the naticnal con- vention to be held in Philadelphia October 11-15. This is the first post officially to ‘indorse Gen. Pershing for national commander. At the national convention in Phil- adelphia a canvass of the various State delegations is planned with a view to electing Gen. Pershing, without opposition if possible, in order that he may head the legion- naires on their pilgrimage to Franee in Sepember, 1927, when the Amer- ican Legion holds its convention. The movement, it is felt, will do much to improve conditions abroad if Gen. Pershing heads. the peace-time or- | ganization with the men who served | under him, a majority of whom have not visited France since the signing of the armistice. With a view to carrying a large delegation to the Philadelphia con- vention e committee was appointed last night by Comdr. J. J. Murphy to arrange the details of the trip and have George Washington Post represented in large numbers at the first Eastern convention. The com- mittee is composed of Past Comdr. Howard 8. Fisk, who has attended every national convention of the American Legion, chairman; Past Comdr. Wallace Streater and Nathan J. Cosel. The question of a special uniform or insignia will also be con- sidered by the committee. Comdr.

By the Associated Press. ' MEXICO CITY, July 21.—Opposi- tion to the new religious regulations is being manifested among the wealthiest people in society and a:xmx the poorest of the Indian families. ¥ The Indians, alarmed over reports that all churches may be closed, are swarming in unusually large num- bers into Catholic churches and hav- ing their infants baptized and their older children confirmed. Prominent women are declining in- vitations to balls or are refusing to dance if they attend. They make the plea that their fellow Catholics are in_distress and it is incumbent upon them to avold pleasure as much as possible. Recently at a ball given in the American embassy by James R. Sheffield, the Ambassador, certain hich American families :'d not ai- tend. At a recent hall ;' en by For- eign Minister Saenz certain young ladies who regarded their attendance obligatory under the rules of etiquette declined to dance. It is estimated that more than 1,000 in- fants were baptized in the great his- toric Mexico City Cathedral within the past week and that there has been an incréase of 50 per cent in confirmations in the churches of the city generally. ¥ Tramp Many Miles. At the same time a great increase is xponed in the number of adult workhipers at all masses, and also in the number of individuals seen the day long praying in the churches. A largg percentageé of these worshipers are " Indians, barefooted or wearing sandals and covered with blankets. Often. they tramp weary miles to bring their infants for baptism and to pray at some favorite shrine. Their great black eyes are troubled and per- plexed. They do not seem to under- stand the situation, but they have heard that their religion is in distress and constantly they visit the cathe- dral and churches in Mexico City, in- voking the aid of their saints. Regu- Jations, which become fully effective July 31, provide, among other things, that only Mexican priests may offici- ate " at religious services; that all church property shall be confiscated and, that religious instruction may not be given in schools. Meetings for the discussion for pro- cedure under the regulations are be- ing held by the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Women's League, the Young Men'’s Assoclation and the Na- tional League in Defense of Religious Freedom. There are some reports that they will \send a’ delegation to confer with President Calles to en- deavor to have him ameliorate the situation. U. 8. Issues Visas. It is genmerally believed, however, that such action will prove futile as the idea prevalls everywhere that President Calles and the government mean exactly what they say when they declare that the law will be en- forced to the letter. United States Consul General Wad- dell, acting under spectal authoriza- tion by the State Department at Washington, has issued passport visas to eleven Spanish and 8 French nuns, who within a week will proceed to the United States. It is their desire to leave IMexico before the new regula- tions arc put into effect. It is under- stood from reliable quarters that some 50 to 60 other French and Spanish nuns who also could obtain United States visas have decided to remalin in Mexico and awalit developments. They intend to leave their school and cease all religious activity. They will liye in the homes of friends until the situation bécomes more definite. The instruction of Minister of Interior Ortega, calling for special vigilance in the punishment of peri- odicals violating the regulation by making any comment on or carrying any news of national political affairs, is causinz considerable speculation in newspaper circlés. Some of the jour- nalists frankly say they are mystified and more or less alarmed’ notwith- standing that the regulations are sup- posed to apply only to religious peri- odicals or “these of marked religious tendencies.” GOODACRE IS PROMOTED. Samuel Goodacre has been ap- pointed secretary of, the Shipping Board, which ‘carries with it the sec- retaryship of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. He relieves Roy H. Morrill;, who becomes assistant to Commissioner Plummer, Goodacre has_been budget officer. FLAT TIRE?

NEW YORK,, July 21.—Florenz Ziegteld prodycer of “girl shows,” has fssued specifications for feminine beauty on the stage in which blondes and thin -girls are pushed into the back row. ' The 1926 girl of the stage, accord: ing to Zlegfeld, will be as follows: She will not be a blonde. She'll have a curve or, two more dimples than the 1925 girl. She may be a little taller. She'll come from more refined sur- roundings, and often she'll be a col- lege girl. He says that men prefer titian- halred girls and urunettes in general, and that the reputed popularity oL blondes arises from their scarcity in a country deprived of a blonde popu- lation because of geographical rea- sons.
