MORAL—DRIVE SLOW Poem Shows Folly of Fast Driving Over State Highways. Poem Shows Folly of Fast Driving Over State Highways The following verse in an Indiana newspape ably expresses several excellent reasons why traffic on public highways should drive sensibly. Here lies the remains of Percival Sap He drove his car with a girl in his lap. Lies slumbering here, one William Bake, • He heard th" bell but had no brake. Beneath this stone lies William Raines, Ice on the hill, he had no chaines. Here lies the body of William Jay, He died maintaining his right-or-way. John Smith lies here without his shoes. He drove his car while filled with booze. Here's Mary Jane —but no alive — She made her Ford do thirty-five. Indiana state roads are constructed and maintained to expedite overland travel twelve months in the but their smoothness of surface does not necessarily mean they should be converted into speedways despite the invitation they present, declares Juo D. Williams, director of the state highway commission. "The though of speed does not enter in consideration with the highway commission whatsoever when it takes over a section of highway and converts it into a model road for freight and passenger ' movement,” says Mr. Williams. "The problem that we' are solving is to put at the | disposal of tlie public, roads that will meet traffic demands each month of the year. Indiana state roads will go into the winter in excellent condition to withstand the rigors of thaws and freezes, highway officials say. During the summer and fall many of the secondary roads were “regraveled” and restoned.” Traffic in the past fewmonths caused them to hind hard and firm. Drainage has been an important item in maintenance work also, and experience has shown that nonrigid type roads properly and quickly drained better withstand the severe traffic demand of the times. o WASHINGTON AS A MASON Alexandria. Va., was chosen as the site of the $4,000,000 George Washington Masonic National Memorial because the first president was the first Worshipful Master of Alexan-dria-Washington Lodge No. 22 of that city, which is just across the Potomac river from the national capital. This lodge is the custodian of many priceless relics of the Father of His Country and owns the famous Williams portrait of Washington, by many considered the most truthful of all the many portraits of him extant. I The cornerstone of this imposing ■ edifice will be laid Thursday, Nov. 1, 1923. “Owning Your Own Home” Commerce Department Tells How To Go About It. Washington, D. C., Sept. 24. —Salient facts and information necessary ■ for the prospective home owner and ' those planning the purchase or construction of a home, have been provided by the Division of Building and Housing of the Department of Commerce in a handbook entitled “How To Own Your Home” which has just been issued ns a government publication. How much to pay for a home, howto finance it and where to obtain a mortgage on it, selection of a site, how to make the purchase, choosing plans, selecting the contractor, judging the quality of a house already erected, and estimating the probable expenses of home ownership, are discussed in detail in "How To Own Your Home.” The results of exhaustive surveys of existing conditions made by the government in regard to many of the knotty problems of home-seekers have gone into the simply-worded parar graphs of the hand-book. Civic and business organizations have also cooperated in its development. “How To Own Your Home,” w-hich is a valuable guide book for the home-seeker, was written by John M. Gries and James S. Taylor, of the Department of Commerce, and contains a foreword by Secretary Hoover. The handbook, which costs five cents, may be obtained simply by sending a nickel and your to the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Lots of one hundred copies may be obtained for four dollars. 0 s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt ~~~ , Sport writers will now dig up that popular and handy phrase, "fighting every inch of the way—.’’ Warsaw defeated Huntington Saturday, 20-0. in trying to hand his team a little glory, the Huntington scribe says this was the first time in two years that Warsaw, has failed to score at least fifty points against their opponents. Evidently he hasn’t heard about Emerson of Gary handing the Warsaw Tigers a 33-0 shutout last fall. We also remember having witnessed a game two years ago this fall in which Peru defeated Warsaw, 7-6. Butler downed Hanover, 39-0, Saturday but in so doing, lost their star quarterback, who dislocated a knee. South Side met little opposition in Auburn last Saturday, winning, 33-0. Local fans who saw the game say D. C. H. S. could have beaten Auburn with no more experience than they have had. The Yellow Jackets will start in training in earnest this week for the opener at Portland next Saturday. Providing none are injured in practice this week, Coach Howard's boys ought to be in good condition for the game. Coach Confer will give his D. C.H. S. squad the finishing touches this week for their game with C. C. H. S. next Friday, also. The boys are learning the game remarkably well in practice, but they will learn heaps in their first game. Mr. Leadpencil, of Wabash, has enlightened us concerning the Logansport team again. He says, “Reports from Logansport are to the effect that the Logansport outfit is not as good as was first expected. The Logansport team has lost a number of the principal stars through ineligibility and injuries.” Now we're not scared so much. Manual Training high of Indianapolis, will be the first team to be masscared by Mr .Leadpencil's "Hillclimbers" this season, the ,terrible s scene to be enacted next week-end at Wabash. 1 Wonder how many big league base--5 ball scouts were in the stands at Ft. Wayne yesterday to see the Lincoln 1 Life pet, Dick Falvey, get touched for 15 hits by the Bryan 1-0 league ■ team? Bryan won 6-0 and will meet Angola in the post-season series. I Has anyone heard from Richmond yet? o ’ No Injuries To I. U. Squad During First Week Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 24. —No , serious injuries were reported in the first week of practice on the Indiana university football team and approxi- ’ mately 50 men will report this afternoon for the second week of training in preparation for the opening game of the season with DePauw on Jordan field, October 6. Coach Ingram has not made the training severe as yet but has contented himself with conditioning the men for the hard grind of this week. Ingram has few veterans fro m last year to work with and is spending most of his time in developing his inexperienced sophomore material. “Navy Bill” has a classy array of sophomore candidates working under his wing and present indications are that the second year men will play an all-important part in the make-up of this year’s varsity. Marks, Zvich, Lorber, Marker and Zahrobsky, sophomore backs, seem certain to be retained on the varsity squad. Bernosky, Zaiser, Hoblick, Bilek, Guaker, Dyhuisen, and Prucha are other sophomores who" are showing well enough to land places in the line or on the ends. | The scrimmages held last week were comparatively light and used for the perfection of plays more than anything else. But even in these workouts, Ingram couldn’t keep his men from tearing nasty holes in the second team’s defense. The temporary varsity eleven was composed of Woodward and Ninnes, ends; Springer and Fisher, tackles; Zaiser and Milstadt, guards; Capt. Butler, center; | Wilkens, quarter; Zivlch, full; Marks and Sloate, halves. Toronto, Cal.—Total gold and silver production from Ontario mines for first six months of 1923 were $8,646,954.

Mr. and Mrs. Ira Wagoner left here Saturday for a four weeks’ visit with the former’s brother and family. Mr. Eli Wagoner, at Spokane, Wash, and other points. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Oliver and family of Kalamazoo, Mich., were weekend guests of relatives here. C. E. Bahner was seen riding in a 1 new 1924 model Ford touring car. Sunday. Charley seemed well pleas- ■ ed with his surroundings. Monroe seems to be getting the radio itch just now. There are now three first-class and up-to-date radio stations located here, viz: Mr. E. R. Fish, on East Andrews street; E. O. Osterman on West Jackson street, and Clarence Davis, south of town. These were all installed by Mr. Fish, and we are informed that several others expect to install this commodity before cold weather begins so as to find some sort of entertainment for the. long winter months. These radios are all very successful in their workings, plain, loud and distinct, and some excellent programs are heard rendered I at Detroit, Mich., New York. Cincin- [ nati, Chicago and many other large I cities. It is a wonderful machine to hear. Mr. Fish invites everybody to come and hear these programs, daily an devening. It is rumored that probably the | Monroe schools will put on their winter schedule of picture shows in two weeks, providing that enough cash is guaranteed to defray the expenses. So get busy and help to get this movement started at once. NIGHT SCHOOL NOTICE All persons interested in the evening classes in typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping, are requested to meet in room No. 202 in the high school building at 7 o’clock this evening.
