Its snowing in West Virginia and Utah, book out for some weather in between these points before long. These are the days which start off with bright sunshine but close with the snow clouds. Winter is ‘just a jump awtly and if you haven't prepared. better get busy. American hens produced 24,000,000,000.000 eggs last year. In view of thi 3 remarkable record inquisitive folks should drop the inquiry as to why the chicken crossed the road. We noticed several ears violate the stop ordinance at the down town crossings today and we are informed that many drivers are becoming careless about this. Its foolish for the outcome is sure to be either an accident or arrests. Officials should see that these laws are enforced. It may save a smash. Former President William H. Taft has decided that this country needs laws which will punish the criminal without so niuclf red tape and loss of time. He is right of course but there i 3 nothing new about this. The people have been demanding such changes for years but it seems to have been delayed some in reaching Washington. Governor Jackson wants the bribery case against him dismissed because the statute of limitations has expired which may be legal but certainly not very helpful 'in clarifying the conditions of muddy water in Indiana affairs. If Jackson is innocent he should insist upon a complete hearing and if he is guilty he should re- *. sign. Thats, about all there is to it. The present system of weights and measures fails ,Jo satisfy a lot of people in this country, and they would substitute the metric system in its * place. Senator Gillett of Massachusetts, is sponsor of a bill for that _ The Gillett bill would change things so that gasoline would be purby the liter, coal by the gram, and calico by the meter, although, to "avoid confusion, the old rfames of gallon, ton, and yard would be replained, the units alone being altered. “ It costs a nice sum for the women of America.to look pretty, and then of them so over-do it that thty are worse off than before they spend • their money. Last year they expend- ■ ed ilk powders, creams, lipsticks, per«<fmnes, facial massages, permanent waves, etc., $1,825,000,000. Compare «this huge sum with the amount spent ..for national defense, $680,537,642. If could kill, the Chicago Tribune says we would be the best prepared nation on earth. —• You folks who have not been attending the Evening Star Festival *tbis*wcek have been missing something really worth while. Ea h pro- - gram has been Bjrendirf and those who have heard them are loud in -» their praises. We wonder how they can furnish such talent for so little , money. The festival which has been under the auspices of the Lion's club, _ will close this evening when Mr. Powell will give his peppy tbirty-min- ■ uto lecture and the Mason Jubilee Singers will entertain for an hour or two. Better drop up and hear this lino program. . - Business men of Indianapolis held

a mass meeting yesterday and nomiP nated five men, any one of whom will meet their approval if selected as mayor by the city council next j Tuesday night. The list includes the *' following well-known and high-grade it men: Charles F. Coffin of the State I Life Insurance company; Frank Hoke, I a manufacturer; William Insley of the Insley Manufacturing company; J. K. Lilly, drug manufacturer and Thomas 10 C. Howe, former president of Butler *2 university. They ought to select one 15 )0 ( ot these but some times folks don’t ’5 do what they should. •0 - - •0 - • The Westinghouse company has put all its advertising funds into newspaper space having found from experience that this is the form which' pays best. J. C. McQuiston of that' company speaking before the Chicago Chamber of Commerce gave these ’ reasons: intimacy, flexibility, co-op-1 j eration, reader interest, instant action,, ,J opportunity to reach your customer, advantage of focal and national advertising tie-ups, can be checked.

- which places the business us fourth ! among the industries of the Upiled [ States. There are more than 20,000 ■ theatres, and the total investment of i the industry is in the neighborhood , of $1,500,000,000. Statistics show i that more than 7,000,000 people attend these exhibitions and that they pay more than $2,000,000 for this daily privilege. Trade Commissioner Myers mangnanimously said that "In view of the magnitude of this accomplishment it does not detract from the credit due that the machinery i may have developed a few squeaks.” Nevertheless the commissioner adds his belief that steps should be taken 1 Ito enable the public to place respon- ( ' sibility in the showing of unsuitable ' films on that branch of industry with ’ which it has contact, and thereby!
