H. Bangs, utility baiter and municipal electricity cham- | pion, expected today to leave “home” | —a cell in the Huntington County Jail | That cell, not unlike those of fellow inmates, was the mayor’s “home” forl 101 days in 1935 and has been his | “home"” since July 6, 1936. | “Yes, the place does seem like | home,” the mayor said today, “but | needless to say I shall be glad to get ! back to my real home.” In 1935 the mayor—slightly built, roft-spoken and 47 years old—went to Jail on contempt charges for violating an injunction against extending city | electric lines to private and commer- cial consumers. On July 6 he was Jodged behind bars again for ignoring & court order to disconnect some €00 consumers from the municipal lines. Last week the mayor ordered the private and commercial consumers disconnected and requested release from jail. Special Judge Huber M. Devoss planned to act on the request | today. | Bangs has battled persistently for two years to establish a municipal utility for Huntington, but has met | defeat on every hand. | He filed in Circuit Court late yes- terday a petition for an appeal from impeachment proceedings voted by the City Council Monday night. Judge Otto H. Krieg approved the petition and gave notice to City Council mem- bers and the city clerk-treasurer. 1922 N. Y. Ave. brought cigars. 12—Dinner of bread and water . . .

BUILT TO LAST YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN FUWBI Be Sure to Get The Inside Story T IS important when buying uphol- stered furniture to know what is under the outside covering. Too often an inferior construction is hidden be- neath an attractive covering just to keep the price ridiculously low. This is poor economy! It is unwise to pay too little for upholstered furniture. Buy at a store you can trust, pay a fair price, and ask about inner construction. Kar- pen upholstered furniture—shown ex- clusively at Mayer & Co. in Washington —is built of hardwood frames, kiln dried, free from defects, doweled, screwed and glued, and the spring con- struction is of the best. Karpen’s sus- pended webbed construction is most dependable, and curled, black horsehair filling (50% mane and 50% tail) , down and clean cotton are used for fillings. You can buy Karpen Upholstered Furni- ture and know the “inside story’’ to your satisfaction. You will be surprised, too, to see how little you need invest for a good-looking and good Karpen Suite.
