BOATS ROLLS jtfALFRUITUU; CONSTIPATION Modern Girl Is Unconventional And Not Immoral Chicago, Dec. 26.—(United Press)-’ n modern girt 1» unconventional <n d not immoral, Jane Adams, nation*ll, known social worker told the Unit•d Press today. Seated in a plain rocking chair in ' .he barely furnished reception room h er "Hull House" in the tenament district where she has spent a life,ln)e working toward the uplift of the • down-trodden girl.” Mis* Adams dismlssP( l with the flourish of the hand and a weary smile all the hullabalee about the immorality of the modern g *Smooth speaking, the typical American mother type, she refuses to get excited about the charges of "wild nMS - hurled at the American girl. | “Just because she paints a little, Tear* short skirts, bobs her hair and won't go automobile riding with men 9 he does not know very well, is no reason to asnme she is immoral," Miss Adams said. “[ work among them all the time, and I can say that the girls 1 know are not immoral.’’ And Jane Adams knows most every type of girl. “Hull House", situated in’ Chicago's Ghetto, daily sees the girls come to Miss Adams for advice and help. 'Girls now work around men." Miss Adams said. "They understand them better. Consequently they are able to cope with most circumstances. And the modern girt can take care of herself at most anytime. “As for women drinking, I don’t think that that is tne little bit more drinking among women at present than there was before prohibition.” The automobile is blamed to some extent by Miss Adams for what immorality there is. "I think that the automobile is one of the reasons for the ‘wildness’ of some girls. It has brought about a ne consideration. A couple is abl*, to go a great distance away from home to some place where they are not known. Consequently some things are done that should not be done." But you don’t think as a general rule the modern girl is any worse than her predecessor?” she was asked. "Well, we are living under different conditions," she repled. Move To Stop Endless Chain Selling Schemes Indianapolis. Dec. 26. — (United Press)—The state securities commission moved today to check the activity of endless chain selling schemes in Indiana. Methods used in promotion of the endless chain plan were branded by Attorney General Gllliom. as ' fraudulent and misleading.’’ One person is induced to secure other customers for the scheme through hope of a discoun on the original purchase, he pointed out. Gllliom ruled that the state securities commission has authority to regulate the companies promoting the. schemes. Frederick Schortemier, secretary of, state and member of the securities commission, announced activities ol adl companies which did not submit to state regulation would be stopped at once. Invesigation of the promotion schemes was started on complaint of merchants of Indianapolis and other cities. . —o- — ~ Cow Three Times As Efficient As Auto. Is Reply To H. lord New York, Dec 26.—(United Press) -The dairy cow, which Henry Ford recently said was so inefficient 111,11 she should be abolished as a milk pro ducer, is actually three times more efficient in her ratio of fuel consumption to production than is the automobile, ( declared Professor C. H- Eckles, of tin | University of Minnesota in an article . in tomorrow's edition of the magazim . , Farm and Fireside. Eckles said that under ordinary road conditions the automobile produced >u , 12 to 15 percent of the power of the ■ gasoline used while Hie normal cow makes use of 55 to 60 percent of the j energy in her ration. ' Aside from this direct comparison j Eckles pointed out that while ten used power of the automobile was at entire waste the manure of the co had a commercial value as fern izc or at least $35 per year. • £ Continuing his vindication o i

and his refutation of Fords (ri(l , 1 Sickles said that there no method of producing synthet.c mill' and that scientists were of the opil , ion none was likely. Milk and butter substitutes may be produced he said Which look and taste like the origins') but all such substitutes lack the real milk vitamins which are essential i.> human health. "If man is making a miltake in q,. [ponding upon the dairy cow for percent of his food he has been making the mistake for a long time," said Eckles. "Recorded history go*, buck <I.OOO years. Milk was even , h .-n an important article of food and both butter and cheese were known and in u«». It seems reasonable that milk ‘must have some special value in the diet of mankind " In discussing the difficulty of producing a cheaper substitute for milk. I Eckles pointed out that In every attempt to concoct a calf food without milk "the verdict of the calf is always to the effect that something is wrong.” "Even if it were possible to get protein for human food from some other source than milk it would still be more economical, at least under present conditions, to get it from milk," con- , tinued Eckles. "At S2O a ton for alfalfa protein from that source would cost 10 cents a pound; with linseed meal at SSO a ton. protein in that form would | cost 8 cents a pound. This does not include the expense of getting the protein separated and ready for use. provided somebody knew how to do it. • Protein in the form of dairy products i can be purchased now below cither of these figures." , Eckles concluded with a final parting '.shot at the Ford criticism of the cow. "If Mr Ford does decide to show ’ us how to dispense with the cow 1 I suggest he wait until he is ready to ' retire from business. If the usual “ three and a half million monthly milk land cream checks were cut off mid- ! denly, a slump of some visible propor--1 tions would be evident in the market ’ for cars." '| -o Says Few Girls Get Real Pleasure From Smoking; Merely Fad 1 Indianapolis, Dec. 26. — (I sited • Press)—Few girls obtain any real plea- - sure from smoking, but do so merely to appear devilish and conform with the > present fashion, Dr. Herman Morgan, f of the Indianapolis board of health, i said today. > Dr. Morgan, in a statement made to > the United Press, warned: "Girls, if t you would raise the hatting a/eiag’ t of your sex in hardened arteries amt one-cylinder hearts, smoke steadily l and regularly." i The health head declared that many physicians believe that smoking Is reI sponsible for the fact that men lead women in diseases affecting the heart and arteries. “So, if women resent this masculine I lead, they should, by all means, increase their inhalations and exhalaI tions,” Morgan said. • "The before breakfast puff i* (A 1 • ’ally masculine,” Morgan continued ' satirically- "And unchallenged masculinity may be achieved by rising a ’ frequent intervals during the night t worship a’ Udy Nicotine's shrine.

also has played a big part in the reduction. I • It is seldom,’’ Dr. King said, “that we have records ot children dying from the so-called summer complaint in this day and age.” The automobile also has played a part in the decrease in the summer death rates, because it enables the

Police M.iv Get 111 Os All Auto Owners Anti License Numbers | Indianapolis. Dec 26—(Ry United: Press)—Although few of the police, off idols of the- — — officials of the state availed themselves of the opportunity to purchase printed lists of all automobile owners and license numbers In the state last year, Secretary of Bute Rchortemeler is now making plans for the printing of the 1926 lists. Under the state law an appropriation of SIO,OOO was made for the preparation of the lists which it was thought were needed for proper enforcement. of the laws. Schortemeler found his appropriation far short of the amount needed and by having the lists transcribed and then mimeographed saved approximately $2,000 of Hie allowanae. As police < hiei's did not take to the voluminous Hits with much enthusiasm most of them are now stored in the basement of the statehouse, being of no further use to any one since the 1926 plates were sold. Schorteineier explained today that although he looked for a repltltlon of last year’s experiences— that the lists would not be used extensivey—he is going ahead with plans for the printing as required by law. The same plan will be followed this year, the lists being transcribed and then mimeographed. Schortemeier hopes to be able to save even more than the $2,000 sav- . ing shown last year, he said.
