THREE PERSONS KILLED DY TRAIN

Three Other Members Os Family Probably Fatally Injured Vincennes .July 27—Three memlters of the family of J. H Devine, of Boxville, Union county, Ky.. were killed and three others were seriously Injured in a grade crossing accident today. Devine's auto was struck and demolished by a passenger train on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad a fe w miles north of Vincennes. Mrs. Devine and two sons were killed outright. Devine and another son and a daughter were bought to a hospital here with injuries which are expected to end fatally. Devine, who was driving the auto, failed to hear the warning whistle of the engine. He was going home from a visit with relatives in Indianapolis. A car containing other members of the party had cleared the crossing a moment before. Occupants of the first auto looked back in time to see the locomotive strike the auto and burl the occupants to the ground. 0 — — "DIE HARD” TERRIER Like the Vollie and many another grand importation, the Scotty hails from the Highlands. There, for centuries, he has been known and honored. says Nature .Magazine. Yet up to about 1880 he docs not seem to have carried his fame beyond northern Scotland. By the way, his pet name among his ancestral moors was the 'die-hard' 1 terrier. He earned the title if ever title was earnedo NO DUST-FREE AIR. Dust-free air does not exist anywhere in Uature. though it can be obtained by certain filtering devices in the laboratory, says Nature Magazine. From the earth's surface up to regions far above the highest clouds ■every cubic inch of air contains dustmotes. Near the earth the dust is mostly blown up from the soil by the winds. Far aloft the millions of meteors that enter the earth's atmosphere every ,day Jheir qiibta of fine solid matter.. Lastly, every great explosive volcanic erup- | tion spouts up enormous quantities of dust to great heights. RADIO AND LIGHTNING. Lightning is one, of the causes of the “static" that worries radio listen-ers-in", though probably not the prinIcipal cause, as was formerly supposed. says Nature Magazine. While lightning flashes cause dickering noises in the receiver, the heavier and more troublesome rumbling sounds known as "grinders" are believed to be due to electrical disturbances in the upper levels. 0 ROSES IN SOUTHWEST Most curious are tlie wild roses of the ry southwest. They are lowstunted bushes of brown branches and many straight brown or white prickles, more like a low gooseberry bush. 'Hie fruit is all prickles like the prickly gooseberry of our swamps says Nature Magazine. The flowers are purple, rose or white, solitary more like a strawberry bloom tha nos a rose.-As the bushes are built for heat rather than for frost, they are not easy to gro w in northern gardens, though they will live and bloom. Q INSECTS AS PETS. It is interesting to hear that centuries ago the Greeks esteemed the cicadas, kept them in cages, gave thorn for presents. They put charming epitaphs on the graves of favorite cicadas, says Nature Magazine. A favorite among insects seems to most people an anomaly, but It is not so. for these small animals differ almost as much as do pet dogs and cats. ——- ■— ■' - o ALEXANDRIA—A "bee in your bonnet" may not be so bad, but "hen the bee enters your sedan —look out. ' This is the advice of Reuben Merrill of Alexandria. He ran In the ditch, when the bee entered his automobile. No one was injured. MARION— Members of the Mario* Elks Club received a 25-pound salmon from George Steffens, past exalted' ruler, now attending tho national Elk' convention, at Portland Oregon. SEY MOUR—Jackson county teach ers want County Superintendent Harry Henderson to keep cool at all times. | So they presented him with a large celling fan. South Africa has recently provided special air-mail postage stamps for. use in the new Cape Town to Durban

INDEPENDENCE OF' THE FINANCIAL KIND By WILLIAM E. KNOX President, American Banker* A»«eelation. The principle upon which America was founded was Independence. Tha primary duty of the ploneera of thia

country was to Interpret Ind e • pendvißCW in ita political sense, but independence today has amKher • p e c 1 a 1 significance in kta financial senee. The ability to apply the primary principles ot personal economic*, to use

Ja William E. Knox

iatelligently that common tiring we call "a pay check," ha* a* mnefi to do with individual independence ae any other force in life. The greatest problem of independence of the average man or woman la how to get out of wtoat they earn a good living and a reasonable degree of financial earn forte in old age. We cannot maintain a high Mandanl of national life without an intelligent management of the financial matters that oonetantiy confront the average individual and family. In the accumulation of capital in the hands of th* nraeses lies tha hope of the true independence of a nation’s people. The chief concern et wage earners is to get a reasonable degree of financial Independence out of what they actually earn. This question of how to attain personal financial independence has not been worked out on the principle ot individual responsibility. The, most Important social needs today are a course of loetrnction In public education to give young people a practical notion of how to start life on a sound economic basis; and, secondly, a broad eo-operative plan in American industry whereby men and women shall be helped to work out a personal financial program that will guide them toward a definite goal of financial independence. There ought to be away for a man, for every dollar put aside each week now, to get back four or five dollars a week forty or fifty years later, regardless of where he works. The present policy in American industry of helping employees is based on the assumption that they will ultl-, mately become dependent. Old age pensions and other forms of charitable compensation are to be commended in Usu of a practical alternative, but in principle they are wrongland contrary to the purposes of democracy. What we want is an organized plan that will direct working people toward independence. No system can claim complete success that does not contemplate the financial independence ot •very employee, according to his ability to earn. It cam be shown that American employees, with reasonable prudence on their own part, can reach a fair degree of Independence while they are still working. There must be injected into our industrial policy an additional economic element of mutual benefit and permanent value to both tabor and capital, concerned not alone with the amount of wages and profits that are earned but with how these earnings shall be wed. I am arguing for an Industrial savings pclicy based upon the principle of independence. I am arguing for a new basis of cooperation in industry. for the elimination of poverty, and for a practical demonstration of economic democracy. When public education teaches school students how to manage their personal affairs intelligently, and when the heads of firms make it a requirement that every young man and young woman who accepts a position shall be working’ toward a definite goal tn saving money, then we wilt attack economic illiteracy at tho source and begin to save men from the tragedy of financial dependency. WHERE MONEY IS A NUISANCE Americans have reason to be thankful for their simple and reliable money. The complications ot the Chinese currency are endless. China possesses 72 different money values. Aa to the money of ac -ount, the Kaikuaa Tael,, familiar in connection with the customs, the Hankow, Kuantnng, Esaoping, Tookwai and others, each differ by varyiog percentages ot weight from the "Hang," or Chinese •unce of silver. If a traveler from Shanghai were to make an extended tour into the interior, passing through, the districts where a manifold variety of coins circulate, the constant exchange from one weight or coin to another would dissipate a very large part ot his capital. An experienced traveler has been known to take scajes with him. and ■till bis weights and the purity of his •liver were zubjecteu to dispute in different province*. At. eoast ports. Mexican, Yuan, Dragon, Hoag-Kona and Hankow dollars are all Current, each haring its own defined exchange value in the native market while in the interior the added intricacies of dealing with cents and copper cash ere so great that it is astonishing how business can be carried on without end'.ets disputes and • ceaaideratls handicap te trade.

Ulmer, federal narcotics agents show ed today. During the past twelve months 23 persons were sent to federal |>eniteu tiaries and 17 given jail setnences. all convicted of violating the anti-narco tics law. The previous year only one person was sent to prison and eighteen to jail for peddling “dope". | Cases of twenty seven det tors, drug gists and alleged dealers in narcotics agents are awaiting action by the next term of the federal grand jury, it was learned. | Names of those under surveilljinee are withheld by the narcotic agents I because arrests have not been made I in many of the cases. "The sale of paerogoric to drug addicts is becoming wide spread in Indianapolis," Ulmer declared.
