SMALL GIRL STAYED PANIC H»r tntliUnc* That Pet Parrot Should Be Saved Gave Fellow Pasaengera Time to Reason. Kitty Bnrrett, eight years old, • shared heroic honors with a pet parrot tn n tale of tire at sea told by passengers landing from the steamship Cartago at Havana, Cuba. The little golden-haired girl, who Is a daughter of Edward Ware Barrett, a newspaper publisher of Birmingham. Ala., refused to enter a lifeboat until «be had brought her parrot from her stateroom, and her insistent demand that the bird be rescued calmed something approaching a panic among the tiassengerti and gave the ship's crew a chance to extinguish the flames and save the steamer. While steaming along the coast of Panama one niglit, the Cartago was set on fire by an overheated motor. The blase seemed to threaten the safety of those on board, and an alifrm wns sounded. The passengers gathered on deck nnd were ready to enter the boats, when Miss Kitty discovered she had left her parrot behind In her stateroom. She refused to enter the boat until Capt. George A. Mcßride sent for the bird. Frightened men nnd women paused to laugh at the calmness of the child and her concern over the safety of her pet. and when the steward brought the parrot to the deck, be i also announced the fire had been' brought under control by the chief en-1 gineer. CAMERA SHOWS UP DEFECTS Why It Is Generally Necessary That Photographs of the Human Face Be Retouched. Why does a photographer have to retouch his negatives before his customer is satisfied with the picture? Tlie eye of the camera sees things differently from the human eye, although there are some lenses that so diffuse the image that the harsh de tail Is eliminated. These are the socnlled ‘‘soft-focus’’ lenses, and photographs made with them generally need no extensive retouching. It Is the difference in "seeing color” between the lens and the eye that is largely responsible for retouching. The ruddy complexion, so suggestive of good health, under the relentless eye of the camera may turn into dark splotches, for red photographs dark. The penetrating blue-violet rays are those chiefly used in photography, and these rays furnish the delicate “modeling” of form. The surface of the skin reflects these rays into the camera, and all the irregularities of the skin, such as wrinkles, become more noticeable than when looked at with the human eye, which sees mostly by the red and orange, instead of the blueviolet rays caught by the eye of the camera.—Popular Science Monthly. Big Irrigation Project. In the state of Washington there is under way a gigantic irrigation project which is unprecedented. It is designed to serve 1,753,000 acres with 20,000 second-feet of water at. an outlay of $30,000,000. That is what has been done by the Columbia basin survey commission with a state appropriation of SIOO,OOO. In fact, the project is unprecedented as a whole as also are some of its elements compared with irrigation works heretofore executed, while in point of cost and general magnitude it is second to but few public work projects either carried out or planned. The daily ca pacity of the main canal and other trunk-line conduits is 1,728,000,000 cubic feet, or 12,275.000.000 gallons which is twenty-five times the carrying capacity of the Catskill aqueduct Woman Has Done Good Work. Miss Gertrude Bell, the compiler of the inner history of Mesopotamia, which has been issued by the British government in the form of a white paper, is regarded as one of the greatest authorities on the East. She has an unusual knowledge of the people, customs, language and political history of Syria. Asia Minor and Arabia, and during the war was attached to the British secret service. At times she vanished for months into the desert, and became known as the “Mystery Woman of the War.” Gloves From Interior of Whales. Soft, pliable “kid,” that is as strong and durable as |ts genuine prototype, from the intestines of the whale; thick sole leather of excellent quality from the lining of the whale’s mouth; five or more huge split sides of tough leather from the skin of the beluga, the common dolphin of the north Pacific—these are only a few of the many revolutionary products obtained from aquatic leather, the mc-'i’facture of which has become one of the new important Industries of the Pacific Northwest, says Popular Mechanics. Nursing a Grievance. “A number of magazine editors had a holiday banquet.” ‘1 don’t suppose there were any contributors present to spoil the pleasure of the evening?” "None was supposed to be present, bnt the head waiter was a bit offish, having done something in the way of verse and had it rejected.”—Birmingham Age-Herald. Domestic Colloquy. “We can’t afford to live in this expensive flat.” “Well, what are we going to do? We can't afford to hire a moving van, either.” ousM«tm". -- • - ■

Five city blocks In the heart of Indianapolis will be used for the memorial project. The building will be erected in the middle block, with the remaining plots transformed into a magnificent city plaza. At one exterior of the memorial site is located the Federal I‘ostoffice building, erected at a cost of $0,000,000. Facing the , outer end of the plaza is the $3,000,- ( I 000 city library. , Tentative plans for the construction . of the buildings are now in the hands j of a state commission, of which Postmaster General Will H. Hays is a member. Selection of the architect will be made by the National Institute 1 of Architecture, following a contest in 1 „ «. , 1 * _. Z ‘ M 1 V i i t WF 1 wM DR. T. VICTOR KEENE. which all architects of America have been invited to participate. The legis-, luture set aside a fund of $100,(100 to 1 defray expenses of the contest and to I award the artist whose designs and plans are adopted a prize of $50,000. Invitations have been issued to na- i tional headquarters of the Grand Ar- ; my of the Republic, the Women's Re-’ : lief Corps. Service Star Legion, American War Mothers. Spanish War Veterans and Women’s Auxiliary gpf the Legion to occupy quarters in the Memorial building along with the Legion. To Dr. T. Victor Keene, national executive committeeman of Indiana, will go much of the credit for making the war memorial possible. Dr. Keene fathered the movement from its infancy and fought for it when other Legionnaires, although supporting the fight, were fearful of success. Dr. Keene was the first officer of the reserve corps of any branch of service called to active duty during the World war. He was a colonel, medical corps, in command of base hospital 70 overseas. THE “MOTHER OF THE BONUS” Friendly Title Assigned to Kansas Woman Member of the Legislature • and Called “Legislady.” i —— Mrs. Ida M. Walker, first woman ■ member of the Kansas legislature, is honored by Amer- |

lean Legion members of that state with the title of "Mother of the Bonus,” for It was Mrs. Walker who drew’ up and pushed through a state bonus, which grants ex-service men one dollar for each day of military or naval service during the

. : World war. Although Mrs. Walker cannot quali- ; fy for membership Ln the Legion or in | Its Women's Auxiliary, she has been ! a tireless worker for the cause which brought the organiaations into ?xist- . ence. and for which they now stand. During the Wortd war she was state director of women’s work ia the Belgian relief fund and also served as ’ food administrator for her county. The j | "Mother of the Bonus” also assists . her husband in the publication of a weekly newspaper and Is a former, president of the Kansas Federation lof Women's Clubs. The advent of Mrs. Walker to the .legislature resulted in the coining of f : a new word. At loss to distinguish ! between male and feraale members, ' i the recent session decided to refer to women lawmakers or "iegisladiea.”

Long hospital, a state institution at Indi-| anapolis with 112 beds, has a daily I average of 107 beds in use and ha; ! the highest percentage of beds in daily use of any of the hospitals in Indiana due to the fact that the hos pital has a waiting list of from 100 to 12a persons daily seeking entrance. There is one hospital to every 357 square miles in Indiana and one bed to every 500 persons in the state. Indianapolis with its fourteen hospital: and sanitoriums has one bed to every 288 persons of its 314.149 population. In Indianapolis 67 per cent of the 1.369 beds are in daily use. Among fifty large cities in the United States Indianapolis stands thirty-ninth in | the number of beds used in the hospitals each day. Nevada stands at the top of the list of states having the largest number of beds in ratio to its population, that state having one bed for every 139 persons in the state. Mississippi has one bed for each 1.054 persons of its population and it is the lowest per capita in the list. The Indianapolis City Hospital, with 390 beds, is the largest hospital in the state; the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, in Indianapolis, second, with 273 beds; the Kneipp Sanatorium at Rome City, is third, with 200 beds, while the St. Elizabeth's Hospital, at Lafayette, is next in line, having 175 beds. Other large hospi tals in the state and the number of beds are St. Anthony’* Hospital, Tere Haute, 150 beds; St. Vincent’s Hospital, Indianapolis, 150 beds; St. Joseph’s hospital. Fort Wayne, 165 beds St. Mary’s Mercy Hospital. Gary. 140 beds; Protestant Deaconess Hospital, Indianapolis. 125 beds; Robert W. Long Hospital. Indianapolis, 115 beds. Fort Wayne Lutheran Hospital, 125 beds: St. Mary’s Hospital, Evansville, 100 beds; Home Lawn Sanatorium. Martinsville. 110 beds. "Indianapolis leads in the number of hospitals and sanitoriums. with fourteen; Evansville has six; Fort Wayne. Gary, Vincennes, South Bend. Lafayette. Martinsville, each have three, while there are two hospitals at Anderson. Lebanon. Madison. Peru and Terre Haute. The following cities each have one hospital: Bedford. Bloomington, Bluffton. Bowling , Green. Columbus, Connersville. Elkhart. Garrett, Goshen. Hammond, Huntington. Kokomo, Laporte, Linton, Logansport, Marion. Michigan City, Mishawaka, Muncie. New Albany. Newcastle, Noblesville, Oaklandon, Princeton, Richmond. Rome City i Sullivan. Washington and Winchester in addition there are thirty-three hospitals of less than twenty-five beds [ not classified as to location. “In these thirty-nine Indiana counties there are no hospitals: Adams. Benton. Blackford, Brown. Carroll, i Crawford. Dearborn, Decatur. Dubois, Fountain. Franklin. Hancock, I Harrison. Jennings, Johnson. Mar- | shall. Perry, Pike, Posey. Putnam. Ripley, Scott, Shelby, Spencer, Starke Switzerland, Tipton. Union. Vermillion, Warren. Warrick, Washington, White and Whitley. In many cases ! these counties adjoin others where ■ hospitals are located, and patients i have access to these hospitals and I sanitoriums.” Adams county is listed as not having a county hospital, but we might add that the money for the building of one is now being raised and that one will be built next, year. Annual Tax Bill Will be Big One (Continued from pace one) position. 3. Increased flat corporation income tax from 10 to 15 per cent with the imposition of a levy of 15 per cent on undistributed profits of corporations, to make up for the loss caused by repeal of the excess profits tax. It is believed this would tend to prevent isuance of stock dividends which have ben hejd untaxable. 4. Increased tobacco taxes from 50 to 100 per cent. 5. Taxes of 6.40 a gallon on all liquors withdrawn from bond, compared with the present rate of $2.20. Taxes on estates, insurances, lodge and club dues, child labor, products and the so-called stamp taxes, as applied to various legal documents and business papers, probably will remain the same. I
