Four men have confessed as taking part in the wrecking of the Michgian Central train near Gary last week and after the confessions were made the men were given their freedom. That’s dealing out justice. A “wet’’ and “dry” election was held in Sweden yesterday and the results will no doubt make tnat country a great oasis, the “wets” piling up a majority of over one hundred thousand. Evidently the people did not favor prohibition. The bonus bill is reported as being on its way to passage in the senate. Just a week ago the senate passed the tariff bill and as the election is less than three months away the poli ticians no doubt think that the for mer service men should be' given a little consideration. The republicans of Ohio, President Harding’s home state, adopted a plat form the other day but failed to men tion anything about the ship subsid:

Gasoline Consumption Jumping GASOLINE cor sumption during the month of June, 1922. was 20% greater than during the month of May, 1922, and considerably higher than June, 1321. On June 1,1922, there were in storage 856,607,102 gallons of gasoline, or 82 gallons for each of the 10,44c,632 automob ’es registered Jan. 1,1922. This means less gasoline per car in storage than for any similar per od since 1918, with the single exception of the ye nr 1920 when there were only 76.4 gallons per car. The summer demand for gasoline is about double the lowest deman< of the winter. If July and August consumption shows an increase proportionate to the June semand (as appears probable) stocks may be exot :ted to decline rapidly. However, because of its unrivaled facilities, the Standard Oil Comp my (Indiana) is equipped to care for the gasoline needs of its patrons throughout the Middie Western States it serves. The refineries of th ? Company operate the year through in order nat products will be ready when the heavy summer demand comes. At all times the Company attempts to have its field storage tanks full. To maintain an abundant supply of gasoline at all points in the territory requires the unceasing efforts of 26,000 employees, the manufacturing capacity of 6 large refineries, the field storage at 3821 bulk stations, 1700 service stations, 515,000 iron barrels, and over 6600 tankwagon and delivery trucks. The motorist who will think in terms of the unceasing streams of cars on the streets about him will quickly appreciate the magnitude of the task confronting the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This task is far more difficult of performance in the Middle West than elsewhere in the United States because the number of cars per capita is greater and the mileage of these cars is greater. Great as this undertaking is, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has proved equal to the job. As gasoline consumption increases, this Company provides facilities to meet it. It believes that this expansion of activity is an essential part of the service which it is expected to perform. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 1910 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago ££ —

and the tariff, two of the president's pets. Guess the boys don't want it to appear that they endo'rw the measures. Political writers predict another shake-up in President Harding's cabinet Secretary of State Hughes is slated for ft berth on the supreme court bench, Secretary of Treasury Mellon may resign atuWc the changes and swaps Senator Harry New, the “lame-duck” is slated as being the next Secretary of the Interior. This may be agreeable to New but the politicians are wondering how it will please Senator Watson. An organization incorporated as the “Anna Lee Anti-Corset Society" was formed yesterday in Indiana upon the tiling of articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. Now this will be a most important society, having for its purpose the elimina tion of the corset and making it un necessary for the “flapper” to check her corset at a dance or when the occasion moves, for if the society succeeds in its high ambitions she will not be permitted to wear one. To make it more ridiculous the names of three men are associated with the society. The best thing that the sec retary of state could have done would have been to refuse incorporation papers and thus put a stop to such damnfoolery and prevent the making of a mockery of our laws. The country will watch with interest the results of Henry Ford's actions in announcing that he would close his great automobile plants on September 16th and would keep them closed until the profiteering was tak en out of the coal business. The dosing of the Ford plants will throw about 80,000 men out of work in De troit, and will cut the consumption of coal at least 3,000 tons a day, the amount used by the auto king. Ford contends that there is no just reason why coal should be selling from $6.50

to SIO.OO, except that the profiteer* , have an opportunity to get it. Ford will not pay it and adds that if he went Into the open market to purchase coal at the prevailing prices it f would merely help boost the price t now askod. Ford has away of doing r things and he may show the coal , barons a few’ things before he is through with the matter. ( To prove that the Brotherhood ot I American Yeomen are truly sincere < in their ideals for the welfare of 1 children, we herewith print a part of ( one of the editorials appearing in a t recent Issue ot the Yeoman Shield, p which convinces us that the editor ’ knows something about children: “A lot of parents and some teachers humiliate children by unfair com t parisons. Addressing a boy who was c not studious, a teacher said to him: t ‘When he was your age Lincoln was ’ studying his books at night by the light of blazing pine knots.’ If this . statement made any impression what < ever on the boy it no doubt humiliat- 8 ed him: he felt that he was, in com , parison with Lincoln, a nonentity; * that he was helpless and hopeless; t that he could never become a Lincoln < —so what use to try! This lad, who > needed kindly comradeship and help- ’ ful suggestions rather than untavor- J able comparisons, might, in the same , spirit displayed by his teacher, have answered: ’Y’es. sir; and at your age 1 Lincoln was president of the United ’ States.’ The hardships that Lincoln < endured and overcame when a youth , brings qourage and determination to many a boy—but the suggestion that the boy is not a Lincoln should never be made. Point out the goal to be attained, the satisfaction when it is [ reached, and the worth-whileness of < assuming responsibility as Lincoln ‘ assumed it, and of solving the prob- t lenas before us as Lincoln solved his 1 i problems. The most sensitive person ( is a child. They should not be ' humiliated.” j e i ENGINEERS WILL ' HOLD A REUNION 113th Regiment to Enjoy A Confab and Outing on Ohio River Soon Col. Willard S. Boyle and Jacob Morgan of Indianapolis recently returned from Cincinnati where pre liminary arrangements were made by them for the annual reunion of the 113th Engineers Association to b<‘ held in Cincinnati on September, 2, 3 and 4th. The headquarters of the organization will be established at the Hotel Gibson where the members may reg ister Saturday afternoon, Sept. 2; or Sunday morning, Sept. 3. The program will consist of varied entertainments at the Zoo Gardens on Sept. 3, followed by a boat ride on the Ohio River to Coney Island, the next day. The only business meeting of the organization will be held at Coney Island, in addition to ! which there will be athletic sports and other amusements. The committee in charge of the arrangements consists of Capt James R. Stewart, of Cincinnati, chairman; Major Otho L. McKay of Kokomo, Ind.; Ralph B. Hamilton and William R. Ice of Fairmont, W. Va.; James M. Server, of Henderson, Ky.; George H. Johnson, John P. Ford. Chelsea S. Stewart, Jack Harding, Franklin C. Craig, Col. Willard S. Boyle and Jacob Morgan, of Indianapolis, and John W. Trulock of Greenwood, Ind. The association consists of former members of the 113th regiment of engineers, most of whom live in West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. The regiment was originally part ot the 28th (Cyclone) division, and later ot the 7th division in France. Reports indicate that the affair will be well attended. Among the notables who have been invited to attepd the gathering of the organization, is General Roger Williams, formerly in command of Camp Shelby, Miss., where the regiment was in training for nearly a year.

ATTENDANCE AT INSTITUTE GOOD (Continued from page one) extraction of the meaning of the sentence and renders more efficient oral reading. To increase appreciation of poetry much memory work should be done. The sense of rhythm should be utilized in teaching a child Monotonous rhythm should be avoided. Good reading comes from within and not through conscious imitation. Unconscious imitation is often helpful. The Monday afternoon session of the institute was opened with a song by the institute. The regular pro gram was changed. Dean T. J. Breit Wieser of the Muncie State Normal, who was to speak at 3:00 p. m. givifig the first talk ot the afternoon. He spoke to the teachers upon the extension courses based on reading circle studies in teachers’ institutes. By this plan the teacher may take extension courses and receive credit, transferable to any accredited training school in the state. Mr. Breitwieser stated that not less thin thirty teachers would constitute a cless in any subject. Miss Votaw, at the beginning of the music period, urged the teacher to keep in mind the two phases of music, the emotional and the intellectual. The emotional side should come first. Keep it in the upper plane. The intellectual side comes later. Several illustrations served to emphasize this. The remainder of the period was taken up with singing. After a short intermission Prof. Brown took up the last work of the afternoon, “Lesson Plans in the Teaching of Literature.” His talk was closely related to the work of the forenoon. Farmer Has Terrible Experience “I don’t think anybody ever suffered more pain than I have. Twice I was operated for gall stones and a third operation was advised. A friend in lowa wrote me how he was cured by taking Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy. I took a bottle on his advice which good results and have also taken the full course. My pains are all gone and I feel I am permanently cured.” It removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract, and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
