The petition to intended to obtain for tbe Frankfort patrons of the company “the reasonable and adequate ' service to which they are entitled by-

law.''

Long Period of Complaint. For the last four or five years Frankfort citizen* have been complaining of inadequate telephone eerviee. The company haa required deposits with application for telephones and haa taken its own time to place tbe telephones, which time haa in some instances been months later, tbe complaint avers. In i other instances the company refuses I to take applications because its lines i already are full and it refuses to place » additional lines, says the petition. The reason offered by the company officials for conditions at Frankfort is that inadequate rates obtain in the city i and that the company does not | care to enlarge it# capacity and thereby lose more money. * Rates Now in Effect. The company obtained an increase ha rates last' June from the federal telephone administration. Business rates were increased from S2 to $2, residence rates from fl to *2 and rural rates from fl to IL50. The company has be- ! fore the commission now a petition to be permitted to continue the federal rates after December 1 when thejf automatically fxpire. ^ In the complaining petition filed for patrons, the new rates are not especially complained of except in connection with alleged Inadequate service provided. ; EERRE HAUIE COUNCIL

This Indianapolis physician boasts that he would rather do surgical work than eat Even the children in the neighborhood know of this as is proved by the following story: Recently some of the neighboring boys were playing ball in front of his office. Suddenly the ball went wild and crashed through one of the physician's plate glass windows. Of course the doctor was furious and he expressed his feelings to the wee fellow who had thrown It “Haven't I told you fellows that* this would happen some day?*' he

demanded.

The little boy nodded hia head. "Then what have you to say for youraelfr* was the next thrust. The little fellow gulped, swallowed and finally sobbed out: "Well. I thought maybe I would hit one of your

The teacher in a little rural Hoosier school had a great amount of trouble with the older boys fighting at recess time- She appealed to the county superintendent for aid In stopping it and he, being an advocate of sup—vised play, told her to play with the children at recess periods. She followed his suggestion for several recesses—with the result that the fighting waa forgotten in the playing. Then came one recess at which she was busy coaching a backward pupil. The recess was about half over when a youngster about seven years old rushed Into the room. "Can’t you come out here and start some-

thing?” he asked.

PLEA FOR PARISH SCHOOLS

"Much of the lack of morality today can be traced to an education in which I religion has no place,” declared the Rev. ( Francis H. Gavisk. pastor of St. John's church. Sunday, in announcing the opening of tbe parish school September L He urged that religion be included in the curriculums of all schools of the counVy, and explained the Catholic method of education. The study of Christianity is just as essential as that of arithmetic and geography. the Rev. Father Gavisk declared. The Catholic church took an early stand for education, he said, and has always favored education, not for the few, but for the masses. Before public schools were opened Catholics maintained their own schools, knowing that the, children’s hearts as well as minds should be trained. “Religion haa such a great effect on morals,” the Rev. Father Gavisk said, “that the hour given at Sunday school is regarded by all teachers as inadequate. The brothers and sisters In our schools make teaching their life work. There is a religious atmosphere In the schools that given pupils some idea of the right relation of religion in the scheme of life. Parents Too Busy. "Parents generally are too busy to teach their children, but should keep an eye on their proper development.

OPPOSES LICENSE SYSTEM

[Special to The Indianapolis Nsws] RICHMOND, Ind., August IS.—James EL Watson, Junior United States senator from Indiana, spoke here Saturday night at the Richmond Chautauqua. CopsidArable of his address was devoted to a discussion of the high cost of the necessaries of life. In port, he said: "Five factors enter into & consideration of the high cost,of living. They are the amount of money in circulation, the export of food product*, the increase in wages which reflects itself in the cost of production, profiteering and individual extravagance. “Whin money to pjentiful it takes more money to buy goods. No one dentes that fact. The tncreasa in money in the last four years has been phenomenal I believe we should carefX guard the exports of foodstuffa if we face disaster at home we must curtail shipments abroad. We can not out into effect an embargo, but we must safeguard our people here. The exports of foodstuffs since 1913 have been r tremendous. Reports for the last two months show that foreign shipments Instead of decreasing are increasS* allof which tends to increase the cost of living at home. , . . . "Profiteering should be punished by law The President believes the food control act lacks penalties, but we find It bristles with them.
