Shortemeier, predicted today. | "The first meeting of the Indianapolis Safety Council, Jan. 24, marks the initial stets of a new era in safety education in Indiana,” Schortemeier said, "Safety education is no longer an experiment. . Other cities and states throughout the cduntry have lessened their annual accidental death toll to a remarkab'e extent by establishing safety councils. Kansas City accidental deaths were reduced 65 per cent in less than four years after they installed a council." “The rail roads early recognized the value of safety education,” Schortemeier continued, “and figures obtained from our own state board of health illustrate graphically the efficacy of their efforts. Accidental deaths on the rat l roads were reduced from 515 in 1917, when their safety work was just being started, to considerably less than 200 in 1927. Automobile fatalities on the other hand, with little or no organized effort made to control have grown from 25 in 1910 to more than 700 in 1927. Schortemeier stffd plans were being made to form a network of safety councils over the state, using the Indianapolis council as a nucleus. He predicted a 15 per cent reduction of accidents of all kinds ’in Indianapolis next, year and a 25 per cent reduction the following year, due to the educa tional work the council will be able to do. o Webster —"Yoo hoo, sweet patootie, is the way Mrs. Ivan Starbuck calls her husband.

FLOOD CONTROL PLANS OFFERED 0. S. CONGRESS Three Major Plans For Mississippi River Flood Control Submitted (By International News Service) Washington, Jan. 21—Three major plans for Mississippi River Flood "cntrol arc before Congress tor consideratfon. They are: 1. A bill author zing adoption of Major General Edgar Jadwin, chief if Army engineers’, plan, introduced 'ty Sen Jones, (R) of Washington, and ■eferred to the commerce committee, cf which he is chairman. z A bi I aboLshfng the present Mi* dppi River Commission and forming n organization for permanent flood cntrol to lie ca'led the "Missis* ppi Uulley Watej* Control Commission," 'ntroduced by Senator Hawes (D) of Missouri. A bill continuing and enlarging the ewen of the Mississippi River Uom•uission. Introduced by Senator Robnson, (D) of Arkansas. Ask State Aid Senator Jones’ bill cal s for a federal appropriation of for ‘he work, but provides that the states hall, when possible give f nancial aid and provide "without cost to the United States such drainage works as may be made necessary by the eiec'iHon of the project, and the rights of way for all structures as ami when he same are required." "in an emergency.” say this b 11, ■funds appropriated for the execution of the’ project may be expended m the maintenance of any levee vhrn it is demonstrated to the satis- | faction of the Secretary of War th it ‘he levee cannot be adequately mainained by local interests” This till places the food control roblem entirely in lhe hands cf the ’ War Department. Ten Year Flan • Senator Hawes’ plan calls for the argest appropriation. He asks for • i fund of $1,990,000,000, which shall . net be expended in excess of SIOO,i 009,000 annual’y. His M'ssisslppl . Valley Waters Control Commission would come directly under the con- • ‘r.>l of the governmental arlntinistrai "ion. being eompo ed of five execu- ■ tve members chosen by the president. ■ Two of these would be army engi- • neers. two civi ian engineers, and one I “an individual of experienced execu- . t'vf ability” I lh Robinson's p’an, the secretaiy pf , war is authorised to "carry on ccn- , tinuously the plans of the Mississippi I Liver Commission, to be pa d for as ! appropriations may from time he made by law, and a sum not to exceed $10,000,000 annually is hereby authorized to be appropriated; for l:at purpose, for a period of six ’-eair. ' beg uiling July 1, 1924, SERVICES WILL CLOSE SUNDAY • roVTIXiED FROM P4RR O1»E1 ’ the shades cr closing the door. Slum- ‘ bering souls may deny Jesus Christ, ! yet they do not rid the world of Him. It only rids the world of Him as far as they themselves are concerned, to. their own loss. The light sh nes, but they refuse to let it in. Those are spiritually dead. ; "Thou that, sleepeth—lf you allow yourselves in the practice of known wickedness, your conscience is asleep. If you live in the customary neglect of self-examinat on you are in a state of slumber. If you have never been affected with a sense of your guilt and • your dependence on the mercy of God ’ in Christ you are among those who I are asleep. If you have no conflicts with sin or temptation you are in a state of slumber. The prevalence of a sensual and carnal disposition is a sign of spiritual death. < "Awake thou —This awakening i;n-

plies conviction of sin and a sense of your danger. It implies a"real repentance of sin and turning to God. "Christ shall Rive thee light Tit’s imparts God’s gracious attention to awakened souls when they frame their doings to turn to Him. It is a promise of pard n and eternal life.” Sunday will be the last day of the special ser es of services. The pastor will preach in the morning service at 10:30 o'clock and on the subject, "In What Shall We Repoice?" in the evening at 7 o’clock, the Rev. F. H. Rnpnow, of Fort Wayne, will bring the closing message. His sermons have been thoroughly appreciated by the splendid audiences that were present last week. Mr. Paul Saurer w 11 render special song selections at both •services tomorrow. 0 Baby Elephant Pushes Truck Out Os Mud Hole Huntington, Jan. 19 —(INS) —When a truck becomes mired in the road it certainly is mighty handy to have a cat go in the truck that is able to get jut and push the truck out of a hole. Astounded motorists saw an unusual sight when they beheld a baby elephant pushing a truck along the read near Roanoak. The truck had been transporting the elephant when it became stuck and the pachyderm was called to the rescue. It was no trick at all for the well trained animal to "boost” the truck out and the impiomptu circus moved away. It was not a "white elephant". ASKS LIFE SAVING UNDERSEA CRAFT Palis (United Press) — Raymond Lestonnat, French naval expert, believes there is only one way to save the crew of a sunken submarine and that is by having constiuced what might be termed countersnbmarines Thes vessels would be able to send air and oxygon and even food into the stricken craft and the crew of the latter could be transferred into the ether ship. “The loss of the S 4” he said, shows how little the authorities are concerned with the safety of the sailors. The authorities never think about human lives until they are lost. These men die after attocious suffer ngs simply because ordinary precautions have not been taken. ‘When a submarine is unable to gain the surface after an accident there are two problems to consider, the saving of the ship and the saving of the crew. The former is mechanical, is accomplish? dby derricks and chains and
