Optometrists To Hold Stale Meeting May 26 Indianapolis, May 17—Since the first announcement was made of the free eye clinic that Is to be held In Indianapolis at the Lincoln Hotel, May 26 and 27, under the auspices of the Indiana Association of Optometrists, requests for more than one-hundred tickets have been made by representatives of civic clubs, churches and other organizations. The tickets are to be distributed among worthy people who have defective vision, but who are unable to pay for optical service. Through the efforts of Miss Mamie I arsh, president of the Business Women's section of the Woman's Department Club, of Indianapolis, one Indianapolis mother who has nearly lost her vision is to have an opportunity of visiting the clinic. The, mother with eight children, the oldest of whom is sixteen years old and the youngest, twins, one year old, live in tluee small r**om on the south side. The Business Women's Club that has been assisting the oldest child through high school, learned of the mother’s condition and is among the first to apply for a ticket that will admit the mo 1 lie* to the clinic where the real condition of her eyes can be determined. The committee in charge of arrangements for the clinic include: C. M. Jenkins of Richmond: J. H. Hammond of Vincennes; H. E. Woodard. Indianapolis; H.l A. McDaniel, Lebanon; James L. Wolf.

Riley Hospital To Be Dedicated October 7 With buildings costing more than one and one-quarter' millions of dollars well on the way toward completion, the executive committee in charge of the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children has announced details of its campaign to complete the building fund of 12,000,000 and its determination to rush other needed units nf the hospital to a finished stage, at. the earliest possible moment. The Riley Hospital will be open to receive patients on the birthday anniversary of James Whitcomb Riley, October 7. Elaborate plans for the formal opening are in the making and will be participated in by nationally known educators and by hundreds of well known men and women of Indiana. The closing stages of the Riley campaign will center around a “subscription bond” issue of $750,000, the amount needed to complete the institution in accordance with the original plans. The bond sale will take place in every community in the state which has not already made pledges to the Riley Hospital. Bonds will be Issued In denominations of $lO and upward. on the four-year payment plan, or for cash subscriptions, and it is anticipated that the $750,000 necessary to complete the building program will be added to the million-dollar fund already available for building I purposes.

The "bond" was written by Meredith Nicholson, famous author and essayist and friend of James Whitcomb Riley, for whom the hospital was named. The bond was written around the "fair chance for childhood" idea and is not only an acknowledgment of the subscription to the institution but is a memento from the pen of the famous Indiana author which may be kept a lifetime. _____ g _ Secretary’ Hoover To Hear His Own Address Atlantic City. N. J.. May 17.1924— O wad some power the giftie gi'e us To hear oursils as Ithers hear us. —Apologies To Robert Burns. Many a post-prandial orator has wished that he might be one of his own auditors so that he might Judge for himself how well or how poorly he orates, instead of being compelled to depend upon the comments and criticisms of friends or enemies. Secretary Herbert Hoover of the U. S. Department of Commerce Is to have this unique privilege Wednesday evening. May 21, when he addresses the National Electric IJght Association Convention which will be in session here next week. He plans to be In El Paso. Texas, whence he will deliver a tenminute address by means of a direct telephone line to the Convention hall especially cleared for the purpose by The American Telephone A Telegraph Company. His address will be on the subject of “Superpower." At the convention hall the address will be simultaneously transmitted to loud speakers which will enable every person in the hall to hear the voice and words of Secretary Hoover, and to a microphone with special land lines to the American Telephone * Telegraph Company station WEAF In New Work City and to the Chesapeake A Potomac Telephone Company's Washington broadcasting station, WCAP. Broadcasting from these stations will be simultaneous with the delivery of the address through the loud speakers In the convention hall. The broadcast message In tnrn. will be picked up by the new radio detect or process and by land linen and be rebroadcast from Stallone ot the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company at Pittsburgh and Chicago and the General Electric Company station at Rchnectady. Arrangements have been made so that Secretary Hoover's party seated In the room with him will receive the broadcast message from WEAF by

means of earphones attached to a receiving net Because of the speed with which radio waves and telephone communication travel, the broadcast message will be received back In the same room from which Secretary Hoover Is •peaking within a fraction of a second. it la stated by esperts that If a loud speaker could be used the words Issuing from It would sound practically like an echo of the words as they are delivered by the Secretary - Funeral directors To Witness “Style Show” Michigan City .tnd . May 17—Five hundred embalmers from throughout the state will gather here May 20 to attend the annual convention of the Indiana Funeral Directors association. A style show will be conducted.

The People’s Voice RECALLS EARLY HISTORY Nampa, Idaho, May 8, 1924 Dear Editor of the Democrat: — Sir, Mrs. Jessie Burdg sent my brother, Charles D. Wilson, of Bloomfield, Missouri, a roll of your papers, and lie sent them on to me, at Nampa. I certainly did enjoy reading them, as it made me think of childhood days, for in and about Decatur is where I was raised. When we lived there Jud Hill was running the paper. I also read of the explosion of the Hy Shakley factory. I worked in the factory up to within a few days of the explosion; but had to stop work on account of the sand dust. We lived just across the street from the factory. I worked with Charley BaM*r and carried spokes for him and put them in a barrel, often Charley would pick me up and put me in the barrel for fun; I was at that time about thirteen years old. My father had a mill about a half mile up the river, and Tobasco Burt and Mr Wetsberger was working for him; but as father had to repair the mill they shut down for a few days and Mr. Burt and Mr. Westberger went down to work at the Shakley factory for a few days. But they had worked there hardly a week when father and my uncle, Joe Burdg, were working at our mill and heard an awful sound. When we looked we could see timber flying in the air. We got into the skift and went down to the factory, the first one we found was Billy Wilson struggling around in the water where he had been blown. He received a broken arm. We then searched for Mr. Wetsberger and found him at his saw lever unconscious. under part of the roof of the building. We got him out and he regained consciousness within a few minutes. Mr Burt and Mr. Hunchley were gotten out by others but Mr. Burt was dead, and Mr. Hunchley died within a few hours.

We previously lived at Old Buffalo, better known after the war as Geneva. There were no railroads then, and my father came down to Decatur and he and John King put in a mill near the Lenhart farm, about two miles northeast of Decathr. These were the years of 1864. 65 and 66. Father then sold out and put in a mill and heading factory, and I think Mr. Dan Jackson was his partner. They sent the first raft flat ever went down the St. Marya river. Three were sent that contained 25.000, 75.000 and 125,000 beading respectively. They were sent to Fort Wayne If I remember rlfcbHy, Emauu*.*l Woods. Hat* Jack’ >n t*nd Clate Dor win were captains. Clate jumped from the bridge onto the raft when we started which was quite a daring feat. My father took the contract of hauling the logs to the mill and then hauling the lumber from the mill to the county farm for the county housebuilding. I also helped to haul the brick for the court house. Also the brick for the Catholic church and ! also helped to haul one of the four bl* rocks for the vault of the Adams County Bank from the depot. My father and Emanuel Woods cleared off the fair ground track.

I remember when I was going to school. Jim Myers and hla brother. Dave, were teachen. Dave was prin clpal and Frank Crabbe was my teacher. My school mate was Jim France. Lena Worden and Jessie Alison eat In the eeat Just behind ua. One of our school mates, Johnle Studebaker, got drowned Billy Niblick was cashier In the bank and Johnle. hie broth er. was in the store with his father, also John Crawford. If any of my old school mates or frlenda would care to write ! would be glad to answer them. Yours respectfully. CALVIN B WILSON. Nampa. Idaho. R. 4. Horn Have Same Traits As Men Says Profeiwor Chicago. lll..—How to keep fat but fit can be learned from watching the habits of the hog. John M. Kvvard. professor of animal husbandry of lowa State College, bolds. The feeding habits of hogs and humane do not differ very much, he said. Ixmg ago the hog was a slender, bony fellow, when the business of rooting for a living was more aerloua than it la now, Eward said. Then man

took him In hand, made life easynow look at him. All this because the farmers treat bogs more like humans, the professor stated. "In the wild state hogs were long, slim fellows who had to root for a living.” he said. "They didn’t dare overeat. The hog couldn't afford to be burdened with at—it meant his life. To get away from spry enemies he had to be spry on his legs. “Neither could the cave-man afford heavy waist lines. And he didn't have them. "But today both hogs and men have become domesticated. The life of the hog has become a life of leisure. He is as pampered and hot-housed in order to add the extra pounds of market fat that he doesn't get enough exercise to maintain proper digestion.” The Aristocratic Hog The aristocratic hog of today has as delicate a digestive system as a human being, according to the professor. If Mr. Pig's breakfast isn't mixed in the proper proportions or if his meatmeal ration is a little too large, he Is likely to become sick, just as a man would. “Hogs like the same foods as human's and their rations must be even more carefully balanced, for hogs less exercise,” Professor Evvard continued. “Along with the porker's bread and meat, the wise hog-raisers adds green trimmings, the salad, if you please, in the form of alfalfa, bluegrass, clovers and rape. On the side he serves salt and pepper, nicely blended—the hog man calls it mineral feeds. These furnish the necessary seasoning. "The corn must be butter-yellow. Butter is too expensive to serve in the porcine dining htll. Just the same, the hog family needs the vitamines found in butter, and yellow corn is a good substitute. It contains the fat vitamines necessary for the balanced diet of both man and hog.” With such feeding, hogs thrive in their modern life of leisure, fast laying their modern life saohrdluluuu Ing layer of fat on layer of lean, like the frosted layers of chocolate cake, Prcfessor Evvard continued. Hogs Getting Heavier. “Over a period of ten years figures show that hogs coming to the principal markets have increased in weight on an average of practically a score of pounds per head. This extra poundage is partly the result of improved feeding, but most of the phenomenal progress was made by breeders who followed out the discoveries made about hog feeding in the agricultural colleges and experimental stations. "To raise hogs successfully, a man must first have a knowledge of human nature. The hog has the same traits as a man. He isn't as low in intelligence as the majority believe, but stands with the horse in reasoning power Although he isn’t as brainy as the primal monkeys and gorillas, he is a wizard compared with most "nf his barnyard companions today "
