"THE SCRAP."

The most surprising thing about the heavyweight battle, as one .gentleman ®ut It, Is that they have gone and pulled oft a heavyweight flght In Ohio," «ur cultured and conservative neigh,:fcor on the east,'when but a few years feek. California and nearly every other State In the union closed their doors to •uoh an occasion, and the fighters and ttteir professional folks were forced to seek asylum in Reno. They were about as welcome as the kaiser would bo toat the Moulin Rouge. i It must be on account of the war.

The war camps fostered and welcomed ftstlana. Expert fellows with the mitts Wore put on the pay roll. The attitude 0t the press, clergy and other more or rjlMMi pessimistic observers of paasdng wants readjusted Itself and along with |t the red-blooded work of war were tolerated red-blooded pastimes.

%, And as for interest In the mailer: ,j Well, thirteen thousand Tribune ex«^bras were absorbed by the holiday

JBrowds waiting to read the details of ^'4he meeting of such eminent exponents j.iof fisticuffs, and about as many other •nxious citizens were ^accommodated f'^rrer the telephone.

It was not until late In the* night that the interest abated. So it would jjyss, that rope-enclosed rings will continue to* have a part in our sporting menu. If anyone says the public interest in the matter does not justify Vft, well—he just must have been in sejSclusion yesterday, or overcome by the ihumldity.

which had been carried by the Italians through their campaigns, and It was presided over by an£ Italian /general who Is the chief chaplain of the army.

There where the 'Roman emperbrs had looked down on the dying martyrs to their faith, the heroic martyr boys of a new era and a broader faith were honored and lauded in the presence of a mighty throng of sympathetic observers.

The glories of the pagan emperors may seem far away, but the Coliseum still stands a monument to their cruelties. That It should be used fofr the gracious purpose which recently claimed It is a striking proof of the world's advancement along humanity's highway.

OUGHT TO BE CHANGED.

/Up to two years ago periodicals had paid a flat rate of postage of a cent a pound. Just as a person can send a letter from New York to San Francisco for a cent, so the New York publisher could send his magazine by mail to San Francisco as cheaply as to Philadelphia.

The reason for a flat postage is a national one. This is a big country. Tt is in danger of sectionalism. The flat postage rate is a safeguard against this danger. It helps bind the nation together. From the national standpoint it Is a good thing for the people of New York, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri,,! Kansas and California, to read the same periodicals, to think about the same subjects.

In 1917 congress abandoned the flat rate on periodicals. Now the postage increases with the distance. The tendency of this system is to penalize the family that lives far from the publishing centers and to sectionalise the reading of the country.

Representative MondeTI has introduced a bill to abolish the zone system and return to the flat rate plan. In the interest of national unity it ought to pass.

TIME OF SERVICE.

St. George's Episcopal church In New York City has advanced the hour of holding its main Sunday service so as to leave the greater part of the day free for those Of its attendants who wish to play golf, OP drive in the country, or make other recreational use of the day. And attendance has already Increased 50 per cent. The question is whether the plan is likely to spread among other protestant bodies.

The Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, of Cincinnati, who has long conducted a radical church in that city, has his services only in the evening, because so large a percentage of his followers were at work in hotels and on public conveyances. He took the time that would be convenient to the largest number. This is evidently what StGeorge's is trying to do.

A church Which presented an option between an early morning hour and an evening service would apparently meet the convenience of most of its parish, ioners. But thiols on the assumption that the primary aim of the day is recreational, which Is a substantial de--w

JTTST A QUIET SMOKE.

TOPBKA, Kail., July 5.—Clouds Of smoke coming frotn the women's watting room at the Rock Island depot here, oaused the patrons of the room to make an investigation.

Over in the corner, smoking a clay pipe peacefully, was an aged woman, all unconscious of the excitement she was causing.

When the matron told her It was not the place to smoke, the aged wo man calmly went outside the depot and completed her smoko. She said she came Trom the mountains of Kentucky and was on her way to Nebraska.

Over the tnoor the wind blew chill, And cold it blew on the rounded hill With a gibbet starting up from its crest. The great arm pointing Into the weit

Where something hung And clanked and swung.

Churchyard carrion, caged fdhr st}Uai*e To every wind that furrows the air A poor, unburied, unquiet thing, The weighted end of a constant swing.

It clanged and jangled, But always dangled. Lonely travelers riding by Would check their horses suddenly, As out of the wind arose a crv Hoarse as a horn in the weather eye

Of sleet at sea Blown desperately.

It would rise and fall and the dissonance As it struck the shrill of the wind would lance The cold of ice drops down the spine And turn the blood to a clotted brine.

Then only the hum Of the wind would eome. Never a sound but rasping heather For minute after minute together. Till once again a wail, long drawn. Would slice the night as thoughv tt were sawn,

Cleaving through The mist and dew. Rotted and blackened in its cage. Anchored In permanent harborage, Breeding Its worms, with no decent clod To weave It an apron of grassy sod.

But this Is no grief: The man was a thief. —TProm "Dried Marjoram," by Amy

Sunday, July 6, 1919.

This should lie a particularly fortunate day, according to astrology. Saturn, Venus, Mars and Uranus are all In benefic aspect.

It is held to be a Wtott fltiftptefffifs rule for those who speak to audiences. Clergymen should benefit, since the stars are supposed to Increase the receptivity of the human mind.

Saturn is read as Indicating respect for the counsels and advice of the aged. Preachers who are old snould find this day favorable to their sermons.

Mars is in a place that seems to incline towards what Is of the past in creed or faith, reactionary tendencies will be but the precursors of radical changes in thought, nia seers declare.

During this configuration the influences are most luoky for romances, especially, those that concern soldiers.

Mars is in a place hat seems to promise a gradual realization of the real meaning of recent service in the war and benefits for soldiers are forecast.

While all the signs are read as presaging supreme benefits that make for national progress after the war, there will be social changes that may seriously affect American life.

The stars that encourage eloquence appear to foreshadow much lecturing in new educational movements.

Tlrere is an aspect believed to Indicate some sort of complications or misunderstandings in regard to Americanization work.

Uranus is read as giving promise that there will be attention paid now as never before in the speech of inhabitants of the United States.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of travel change and progress in the coming year. They should not speculate and should guard their money.

Children horn on this day are likely to be kind and affectionate. These subjects of Cancer aro likely to he extravagant and fastidious, but they usually succeed.

OPEN "TEMPERANCE BARS,"

Salvation Army Tries "Soft" Drink Saloon, Brass Rail and All. The Salvation Army has opened several "Temperance Bars,'' in which are preserved all the features of the saloon (except alcoholic drinks), even to the traditional brass rail. These bars have been a great success with the returning soldiers and sailorB of our expeditionary force, and as with the community clubs should have no great trouble in conducting a paying business once the competition of the saloon Is removed.

They serve as refuges from the rigors of the weather as well as from the even worse hardships of the furnished room their lights are bright and Inviting the wandering male can be sure to find some of the gang there when he has nothing to do of an evening.

It is t© he hoped that the word "temperance," with its concomitant smugness, will disappear from their signs, and that the instituttons will take their places as bars pure and simple. As such they will fill a shortly-to-be-felt want.—F. Gregory liar lawick in the Independent (N. Y.)

Was Designed and Builj to Bring IDeath and Destruction to German Cities.

NE\V YORK, July B.—The 'R-34, now nearing America's shores, and her sister ship, the R-33, are the world's greatest dirigibles. The war brought them into being, for they originally ware designed to outvie Germany's Zeppelins and bring death and destruction to Gerihan cities. When they were building it was reported that they would be the flagships of a gigantic fleet of aircraft that would be launched on a tremendous air raid on Berlin. For this purpose they were equipped with openings through which four 800 pound bombs and sixteen of 120 pounds coujd be dropped, while the upper structure emplacements Were built for batteries of eight guns.

The sudden end of the world war put a stop to the plans for a raid on Berlin and the architects of the dirigibles turned their attention to remodeling their craft for peaceful purposes. But their plans were again interrupted in June when the war clouds regathered at reports that Germany would refuse to accept the allied peace terms. The R-34 was swiftly put in war trim and started on a cruise of 2,000' miles over the Baltic and the German coast regions. She carried no bombs, but, equipped with rapid firing guns, swept over the enemy's territory at a low altitude, her enormous shadow making a grim threat of the possibilities.

The cruise was made without mishap and when peace .finally was assured the crew of the R-34 resumed preparations for the historic flight to America. Originally it was planned that the voyage should be made by the R-33 also, but it was decided that too much time would be naeded to remodel the sister ship.

The R-34 was built in Inchinnan, a little village near Glasgow. In size she rivals all but the very largest ocean liners. Her length is 640 feet, her beam 79 feet and from the bottom of her lowest gondola to the top of the gas bag measures 79 feet. Her measurements are very colsely those of the liner Adriatic and if she was stood on end she would overtop the famous Singer building by 27 feet. Her million

The driving power of the airship ia supplied by five Sunbeam motors with a total of 1,000 horsepower, sufficient to give a speed of close to 70 miles an hour in favqfable weather. To feed these motors the airship carries between 7,500 and 8,000 gallons of gasoline, weighing sixteen tons and giving her a cruising radius of 4,900 nautical miles, or considerably more than the distance between Europe and America and return. Her lifting capacity is 59 tons, of which 21% tons is dischargeable weight, or weight which can be disposed of from^pie ship.

Five gondolas are swung from the gas bag, connected by a 600 foot platform. In these cars there are comfortable accommodations for the crew of thirty, with sleeping quarters for half that number. Radiators on top of the motors supply them with hot water and electric stoves assure them of hot meals.

Public utilities tiave a right to a fair fihancial return from their Investment".

Snd from the industry they display in the operation of their property. Otherwise there would be no incentive either, for .investment or for operating activity.

In the present condition of the public utility basirrcss, however, the number of companies that are making money, that is, earning a fair reward for their labor, is very small and the number of concerns that |ire with.difficulty meeting their fixed obligations is very large indeed, v

In the'case of the Terrfe Haute Division of the T. H. I. & E. Traction Company, for instance, we have, as we pointed out, in addition to operating expenses, interest charges on $8,000,000 of capital securities to meet before we are able to allot to ourselves any reward for operation or to spend any (, money in improvements, replacements and extensions. These $8,000,000 of^'i v capital securities represent actual investments in these properties. The T. H. I. & E. Traction Company, in assuming the operation of the lines, must n e e s s a i y e a n a a a n e o v e a n a o v e e s e i e a e s i i i s o have any reward itself.

This does not necessarily mean that the owners of the T. H. I. & E. Tract!on Co. desire to take any money out of the property, but they do desire I and should have a net revenue balance which would enable them to main- .. tain, improve and extend the property, .......-4

Last j^ear it was Accessary for us to borrow cOflsttferatte sums of money with which to improve the service. A very small sum was available out of 7 earnings for this purpose,

But this money was borrowed with a great deal of difficulty because nf the plight jn which public utilities find themselves as a result of war conditions, and it is extremely doubtful whether any more money can be borrowed, for similar purposes until the earning balance is restored by*rate adjustments. i

Public utilities must be able to depend upon tbfc governing powers calm, scientificand just treatment. Under no other conditions can they serve

their communities properly or become that tremendous factor in community

At the present time security holders, and a great many of the securities of the Terre Haute Divi.sioi? are held in Terre Haute, are frightened, and in 7 this state of mind they* repel every suggestion of new capital investments.
