- INDY AGAIN 1S AR HAIL PLoT Flies Over His 0d Route From §¢. Lonis to Ghicago Chicago, Feb, 21 (® — If Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh were a diaryist after the fashion of one ‘Samuel Pepys, and ‘it he were chronicling the happening of yesterday, he might have written, in truth: Monday—Up betimes, and to the air mainl fleld at 8t.

New Orleans, La, Feb. 21 M— The mayor of New York likes New Orleans, and. as New Orleans likes him in the words of “Jimmy" Walk- er himself, “that's fifty-fifty," The visiting mayor was introduced to the Orleanians last night as h got his first glimpse of Mardi Gras reaching its climax today. He was rushed at breath taking speed from his train to review the parade of the Krewe of Proteus, setting a carnival record by waiting nearly half an hour for him. Came Out of Sea Proteus, the sea lord, came up out of the sea and led a series of floats through the picturesque New Or- leans streets as the traveling sales- man for New York applauded along with thousands of spectators who occupied all the seeing space there was for blocks about the city hall reviewing stand, 2 The mayor saluted the king, waved playfully at Joan of Arc, and looked with grave respect at George Wash- ington, Napoleon, Hannibal and Alex | ander.

S The smiling visitor has reached first name acquaintance with the whole city in less than a‘day. Greeted at Gulfport, Miss., by Col. R. E. E. de Montluzin, chairman of the reception committee and Gilbert J. Fortier, vice-chairman, the mayor said: “Colonel, I'll shake hands to- night and learn to pronounce your name by tomorrow.” “Nevel mird,” Colonel De Mont- luzin replied, “call be Edgar and I'll call you\'Jimmy' from now on.” A little later New Orleans took the colonel's tip. & TN GOES 0 THROUGH HEXICO Cutolic Lynen i Prls " Cotion f Bat Mexico City, Feb. 21 M — The Bishop of Tamaulipas and three other including & priem, were under arrest today. The charges against them Wwere some- what of a mystery, because of of- ficial silence. Bishop Jose Armora was arrested with Federico Escobar, in whose home he had been Hiding. The Rev. has always remained in the back- sround and never participated openly in the direction of church affairs. If the only charge the lice have against him is fallure to sign the register, the bishop prob- ably will be released after being fined as & diaciplinary measure. Miguel De La Mora, present direc- tor of the league for the defense of religious liberty, who recently escaped arrest when police ralded a home near Mexico City where he ‘was hiding. - Munuel Campd, who has beem in charge of church affairs in San Luls Potosd, and Priscillano Garza, who was captured at Monterey, also were arrested and brought to Mex- ico City. The charges against Armora were not announced and General Roberto Crus, chief of police, will decide shortly whether to cite him to the attorney general. The bishop has been in hiding in Mexico City for some time, having changed his second name to Gon- zalez. Documents found on him dis- closed his identity, His arrest apparently was ordered when police found out that he was residing in the capital without com- plying with the regulations requir. ing prelates and priests to appear daily at the department of interior to sign thé register. Those who fail to do this are generally considered to be implicated in anti-government activities, Armora has been a secondary fig- ure in religious developments.

From their friends! “But how?” you ask. Here'’s how. John Jones Ras $500 lying idle. He puts it to work earning in- terest by buying one of our 5% Industrial Certificates of Deposit. John Smith comes in and wants to borrow $500 for a year to build 2 small addition to his home. He gets $500 from us through an Industrial Loan. But he really gets his money from John Jones—through us. Without us, this could hardly happen, because John Jones and John Smith probably don’t know each other and never would know one could help the other. That’s how a bank works. It enables one man’s extra money to be loaned to another man who needs a loan. The Commercial Trust Company is just a big, friendly clearing house where both John Jones and John Smith can come and help each other get what they need in banking. ‘Why not become a customer of ours and enjoy the same benefits?
