Jutora JJailg climes INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Daily Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street. Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351. MEMBER OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. _ _ (Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, (f. Logan Payne A Cos. Advertising Offices (New York, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. —“THIS IS THE YEAR”— A NEW MORALS squad sweeps clean. , —— - MAYBE the ouija board can tell whether the governor is going to call that extra session or not. IF HIRAM JOHNSON does make that tour there is one place he will not visit —the Harding front porch. A FARMER advertises that he will “take In” summer boarders, but of course he did not mean it that way. THE AMERICAN Classic League, meeting at Cincinnati, sang patriotic songs in the Latin tongue. It is a safe guess they could not sing them in English without a book. IF THE allegations in her divorce bill are correct, Mrs. Dora Oppenheimer got unusually good telephone service when she was cut in on the wire when her husband and another woman were talking. It’s usually considered good service when you can get one person on the line. THERE NEED be no fear of snakes in the caves of southern Indiana and northern Kentucky, says C. H. Bigenmann, famous zoologist and head of the graduate school of Indiana university, for snakes do not live there. The only animals that Inhabit the caves are centipedes, spiders, bats, rats, owls, raccoons and bears. That is reassuring.

The Carefree Jailer If any further evidence were needed of the utter unfitness of Robert Miller as sheriff of Marion county it was supplied by Miller himself on the witness stand in the case of John Douglas, charged with permitting a prisoner to escape. Miller testified that, although the evidence showed Douglas was in charge of the jail on the night in question, Douglas had never been sworn in as a deputy sheriff, but was employed only as a night watchman. Sheriff Miller, under oath to obey and enforce the law, thus demonstrated his respect for it. The night watchman had the keys to the Jail and had he felt so disposed he could have turned all the prisoners out on the community. Sheriff Miller’s case is yet to be tried, so he testified as carefully as possible, but he said enough. As for the night watchman-jailer, he has nothing to worry about for. as his lawyer has pointed out, he took no oath to obey the law and therefore could not have violated it. All of which gives an idea of what “good government” has come to in Marion county. No Teachers t No Schools The shortage of teachers for the public schools of the country may be calamitous in extent, says the United States bureau of education. Calamitous is the word to use, in view of reports received through the bureau and from other sources. Indiana counties report shortages in the supply of teachers, both in the grammar grades and the high school; Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and other nearby states are asking where teachers may be found for the next school year. Investigation by the United States bureau of education shows that the same condition exists over the entire country. In the high schools the situation is especially serious. At least fifteen thousand teaching positions in high schools of the United States will be without properly qualified teachers next September if the estimate of the abureau of education proves to be correct ■ More than 6even thousand high schools have written of their needs to Khe bureau. These schools now employ 65,857 teachers and will require 17,275 new teachers in the fall to provide for the normal increase in enrollment and to take the places of those who are leaving the schools for other work. This proportion is regarded as fairly representing the general condition in high schools throughout the country and from this it is figured that a total of 25.97S places must be filled before the next term begins. The Visible supply of qualified candidates who have Just graduated from the colleges does r.ot begin to approach the number required. Between the supply of qualified graduates, many of whom will not enter the teaching profession, and the number needed for w-ork in the schools, there is a difference of. 15,358 places that must be filled from sources that are not now apparent. It may be possible to induce other graduates to enter the work and some former teachers who have withdrawn may return, but this will mean that higher pay and improved conditions otherwise must be offe/ed. The only alternative is to employ persons below the standard prescribed by experience and general practice. Times have changed. Heretofore the public has asked much of the teachers, but has given little in return. Now the teachers seem quite able to care for themselves. School authorities everywhere are advised to lose no time in strengthening their forces in anticipation of the expected difficulties. Salaries must be raised and improved conditions must be created, in order to hold as many as possible of the teachers now in service and to attract desirable recruits. All this must be done, not alone for the benefit of the teachers but for the sake of the children who are the sufferers when good teachers leave the service or when the supply of teachers is not sufficient to equip the schools.

A Doctor With a ‘Nose for News 9 Chicago's commissioner of health. Dr. John Dill Robertson, pasted column after column of newspaper clippings in the old scrap book after his last publicity stunt. It was an anti-fat campaign, not conducted in the usual cut-and-dried official style, but with what the news editors call "human interest." For example, the health commissioner chose ten representative fat ladies from scores of volunteers and conducted classes in physical exercise for them and planned their meals. And did Dr. Robertson overlook the little matter of having photographs of them? He. did not Os course the pictures in the papers and theaters were only a part of the campaign. Everybody seemed to have a great deal of fun out of It, and as for the doctor, he took the view that the campaign had done a lot of good and had not hurt his dignity at all. In a recent interview Dr. Robertson explained his methods with the statement that a health commissioner might have all the helpful scientific knowledge in the world, but if he could not reach the public it would not be of much use. “In other words,” he said, "he has to be able to see how his various projects will make good feature stories, he has to get on to the front pages of the newspapers and amuse and interest his audience before he can get their attention and educate them. I suppose there are those who think I lose something in dignity by my kind of publicity, but I gain something of more value, the interest of the people. "Take the anti-fat campaign, for instance. Os course, this department' is doing work of much more vital importance, but the problems of avoirdupois have a universal appeal. Everybody laughs at a fat man. And it certainly was good advertising for us. “All this publicity reminds the average citizen that the health department is a human institution with an interest in his welfare. Later when we have a much more important lesson to teach him hejwill listen more readily because of this reminder. I don’t mean to say, however, that wo conducted this campaign solely for the advertising it gave us. The anti-fat Igampaign not only rids some people of a few pounds, but it also teaches principles of personal hygiene and makes them happier and useful which is exactly what the health department is for.” it, as Dr. Robertson says, his advertising methods only help him his larger purposes, which the Chicago health statistics apbear out, who shall say the good doctor is wrong in following bin news?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How did marmalade get Its name? This department of The Times tells you. If you have a question to send It with a 2-cent stamp to the Indiana Daily Times Information Bureau, Frederic J. Haskin, director, Washington, D. C., and the answer will be mailed direct to you. This offer applies strictly to information—that is, to facts rather than to advice. Questions and answers of general interest are published in The Times, with names of questioners omitted. MARMALADE. Q. How did “marmalade” get Its name? P, U. G. A. The word comes from the Portuguese marmelada, meaning a quince jam. The modern conserve is not necessarily made from quraces as the name suggests, being often a Jam of oranges, apricots, green-gage plums or grapes. “HORSE HAIR SNAKES.” Q. WiU a horse hair develop into a snake if put in water? E. R. A. This is a fallacy and probably is due to the fact that there is a horse hair snake or worm which is extremely similar in appearance to a horse hair. PRONOUNCING “ILLINOIS.” Q. Please teil me the way the state of Illinois is pronounced? Do you sound the “s” or is it silent? R. U. H. A. “Illinois” is pronounced either with the “b” sounded or silent. LUXEMBURG.' Q. Is Luxemburg still an independent country and who is its ruler? E. S. If. A. Luxemburg is an independent grand duchy bounded by France, Belgium and Germany. The present ruler is the Grand Duchess Charlotte. FRANKLIN’S KITE. Q. How was Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment conducted? L. Y. A. In experimenting with electricity in' the atmosphere with his kite, Benjamin Franklin used a kite made of silk, at the top of which there was a free sharp-pointed wire. To tbe end of the twine next to hand he tied a silk ribbon and where the silk and twine joined fastened the key. The kite was raised during a thunderstorm and when the

Invest in Food — don’t just buy it You invest your money only after careful analysis of the interest return on your investment. If you bought your food on the same principles—you would y usually obtain your money’s worth. Many people buy food on a hit or miss plan. If it tastes good—it’s all right, irrespective of the price or the benefit obtained from it.. Milk is the best interestbearing investment of all foods. Every drop of milk does its work. It helps make red blood, and renews wornout tissue. Milk contains substances known as Vitamines, which are absolutely essential to the health and growth of both children and adults. Milk is the perfectly balanced food containing all the essential food elements in their proper proportions. “Every quart of milk—contains the food value of eight Eggs; .76 lbs. of Fish; ,75 lbs. of Sirloin Steak; 3.35 lbs. of Oysters; 6.65 lhs. of Asparagus; 6.55 lbs. of Tomatoes or 5.5 lbs. of Cabbage.” Think it over —there is a great difference in cost between a quart of milk, ®and the price you pay for an equal food value from other products. ]\lilk is the cheapest and best of all foods at the price you pay per quart in Indianapolis. Order a quart a day for each of your children. When you invest in milk —you invest in good health.
