Harding would look were his eyebrows plucked according to the prevailing feminine'style. THAT “INNOCENT VICTIM” who reports two “twenty-five dollar bills” stolen from his cache must have been attempting to compete with the police in their estimate of the value of stolen property recovered. GOODRICH has paroled a Brown county farmer so that he may go home and tend to his crops. It’s a dull criminal indeed who can not find an excuse for avoiding his sentence that meets with the our pardoning governor. THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN can now proceed in perfect harmony. Onr esteemed contemporary informs us that Fred E. Schortemeier, secretary of the state republican committee, is “pleased” with Senator Harding’s speech of acceptance. A CORRESPONDENT wishes to know why editors and others take such delight in writing sarcastic things about William Jennings Bryan. -■'There seems to be no better reason than that Mr. Bryan doesn’t care and the editors and others have to write about someone. GEOLOGIST LOGAN declares the water companies of Indiana might . save money by manufacturing alum from kaolin deposits in the state. We respectfully refer his proposition to James P. Goodrich, who undoubtedly has a friend or a relative who might be useful as a director of anew corporation. THE STORY of the woman from Louisville, Ky„ who ran off with her son-in-law, and gave as excuse therefore the mere statement “because I love him.” leaves in doubt the excuse that might have been given by the son-in-law. In fact, it doesn’t quote him as saying anything, and perhaps in this lies the true psychology of the elopment. Some Fine Day All of this palaver between Dr. Jameson for the street car company and Mr. Lemaux for the city of Indianapolis is interesting, if not constructive. It is interesting for the reason that it proves to the average reader that there are at least ninety-nine different kinds of street car bunk and neither the company nor the board of works appears willing to forego the - pleasure of passing it out to the public. * v The latest conference between Dr. Jameson and the board appears to have been no more productive of results than its many predecessors. Having in mind a lot of orders issued under pains and penalties by the high and mighty board of works Dr. Jameson appears before that august body and informs It that while he had the utmost respect for its -'mandates he does not have the ability to carry them out and would the board please explain why the board continued to issue orders when it ' knows obedience is Impossible? Registering almost as much surprise as Senator Harding at his notification the board of works assures Dr. Jameson of its utmost willingness to “co-operate” with the street car company and adjourns for lunch and other more pleasant pursuits than listening to the demands of a very foolish populace. All of which Is entertaining but utterly devoid of any possibilities of helping the street car situation in Indianapolis. It can now be assumed with absolute assurance: .n l. That the street car company is at present still unable to carry out any orders that the board of work3 may issue to it for extensions. 2. That the members of board of works know this, have known It for months and will not forget It in the immediate future. Therefore it follows as the day the night that when the board of works ‘ “assures petitioners that it will order the street car company to build extensions and does write such orders it is simply playing to the grandstand. Dr. Jameson's repeated presentations of the fact that the street car company is unable to carry out these orders have become wholly unnec„essary. t The board doesn’t expect the company to carry them out, the public doesn’t expect the company to comply with them and the company knows lull well that neither the board nor the public expects compliance. * Some day Indianapolis may have a board of works that will have suffi“cient interest in the welfare of the city to attempt to bring about a situa-f-tion by which orders will be issued in earnest and performed in earnest by a company that has been made capable of performing them. But first the city will have to get another board of works Beating Democrats to It In transferring the final word on tax levies and bond issues from the state board of taxation to the several circuit courts of Indiana the senate yesterday exhibited the first evidence of deference to public opinion that has yet marked its third session. This action was an indication that after many months of denial, the republican leaders of this state have finally determined to admit that “centralization” is no longer a safe hobby on which to base a campaign. The greatest fault that has been found with the Goodrich administration to date is that it has been Just exactly what it was represented it would be by the republicans themselves. It has been an administration in which the whole government of the whole state has been conducted by one man over whom the people of the state had absolutely no control. Shearing the tax board of final Judgment on tax levies and bond issues shears Gov. Goodrich of the ability to control, though his self-ap-pointed board, the tax levies and the bond Issues of every taxing unit in the state. It is an admission on the part of the senate that the “centralization” of power in the hands of the governor has been a mistake and It is significant that the shearing was done by unanimous vote. Politically speaking, the enactment of a tax bill with this feature will be of vast benefit to the republicans of the state. The democratic party is pledged to repeal this law and to restore to the people of Infiiana home control. The republican senate has taken the first step toward beating the democrats to it. All of which demonstrates that common sense will eventually triumph over political bunk. What We Lack If this epidemic of jail breaking in Indiana continues it might be well for whatever persons are interested in keeping criminals in confinement to organize an association having for its purpose the surveillance of those who are presumed to guard prisoners. Twenty-four men walked out of the Marion county jail and did about everything except call on the sheriff and the chief of police to advertise the fact without in any way disturbing the placidity of either office. Howard Cerf, a life prisoner, escaped from the Shelbyville jail without having been missed until meal time. Neither event disturbed in the slightest the routine of the state board of charities which has among its other duties that of supervision over jail conditions and attempts in its benighted way to prescribe rules for the conduct of county jails. It is becoming manifest that there is something wrong about the system used by the authorities in Indiana to carry out the judgments of the criminal courts. . , n Either the officials to whom are entrusted the confinement of criminals are unfit for the trust or the facilities with which they are provided are inadequate. We have prosecutors whose duties include the determination of whether officials are fit and we have a state board of charities whose duties include determination of whether or not the jails are fit. - What we seem to lack more than anything else is the disposition on part of the officials to perform their T obvious duties.

COUNTRY NEEDS LASTING ROADS FOR BIG TRUCKS Heavy Hauling of Last Few Years Destructive to Highways. A BILLION TO SPEND By FREDERIC J. HABKIN. WASHINGTON, July 24. —The road situation in this country is reaching a critical stage. We have a billion dollars to spend on road building this year, and a compre hensive program mapped out, but very little work Is going on. In fact, It Is officially prophesied that the different states will accomplish only 15 to 50 per cent of what they planned for this year. And while thit, apathy hangs over road building projects, the roads that we have ! are going to pieces so fast that In some | places you can fairly see them ravellng. | Highways that wore built to carry the | oldffashioned buggy, or even passenger automobiles, collapse under the weight of loaded five ton trucks and, as repairing roads la one of the things that we as a i nation refuse to bother with, some of these roads have become so choppy that navigation is attended by actual danger not to mention seasickness. Roads are not being built or repaired to any extent now for the same reasons that all construction Is retarded. Labor Is high and scarce. Materials aro expensive. But these difficulties could be coped with. The main trouble Is in transportation. , The railroads are around 700,000 freight cars short. During the war, cars and locomotives that got out of repair had to be set off on sidings, no labor for repairs being available. Tha bulk of freight cars that are running are requisitioned for carrying food and coal, so that where no local materials I can be utilized for road work, building Is both' slow and uncertain. Contractors have for some time held back from mnklng contracts ft r fear that they will not be able to fulfill them, and also because they are afraid prices may go up further before the job can be finished. ROADS NEEDED MOST URGENTLY. In the face of this setback to plans for great post-war achievements, la the I fact that we need the roads urgently. In the rast three or four years trucks ' have helped out remarkably In transportation difficulties. Only the lack of suitable highways j has held them back from taking over nearly all the short-haul freight hitherto carried by railroads. A motor track stops at a certain | printer's In Baltimore every week and gets the copies of a magazine published here la Washington. The truck delivers the goods from the printing plant to the editor’s door for a fraction of what the railroad would j have to charge. lly rail the shipment would have to ! be sent to the freight yard by truck, | load,-1 on the train, unloaded at the i Washington yards, loaded on a truck again and sent to the editor, all of which requires the use of expensive labor. The efficlceucy of the truck for hauls of loss than 100 miles seems to be pretty welt established. Furthermore, the truck seems to be able to carry almost anything that a freight car does. Thus trucis have been outfitted to carry live stock and produce of various kinds. Where line* of these trucks operate out from a city, farmers within their radius are made independent of the railroad, and land farther /rota the station Is cultivated. The farmer does not have the trouble and expense of hauling his produce to the cars, and hia produce reaches the j conautcr more quickly by truck, which is u big factor In handling perishable food. Hoover, you may remember, found that not less than 50 per cent of the farm produce of the country rots on the ground for lack of transportation. The truck can not entirely do away with this waste, but when truck* can be used all over the country the loss will be minimized. The country needs motor transportation now Just as It needed railroad transportation when It was first developed. The railroad used heavier rails as the bigger bars and engines became possible, but now, when the seven and one-half ton truck is produced wo have almost no suitable roads to run it over. TRUCK LIKE DINOSVI It S. The big truck Is now like one of the old dinosaurs. It rushes about, not quite fitted to Its surrounding*, and un- j able to continue existence long unless some adaptation Its made. Tho difference between the old moa- j Btor and the modern motor truck Is I that tho dinosaur hail to adapt himself, to his environment, whereas the truck's j environment will have to chsnge. Ami as man Is engineering the truck’s struggle for existence, tho necessary } changes In roadways will of Conors* j romo eventually. Right now, however, only one mile ! oik of 200 of our rural reads Is built to curry heavy traffic, aud the steady j increase of heavy vehicles have been \ seriously destructive to our light roads We started out In this country by I building corduroy roada of logs and dirt j for horseback riders, and when wo outgrew those wo used macadam, which was j perfectly satisfactory until automobiles j come along and took all the dust out or j (lie macadam leaving the sharp stones ; bare. Now, over half the roads planned are j concrete and a good many others are to he aaphnlt nnd brick, all strong j enough, if properly designed and kept I In repair, to hold up any kind of pres- j ent day traffic. The bureau of public roads has for some time been making tests to show how various types of road withstand Imavy impact. Slabs of different kinds or road were built at the Arlington experiment station nnd by use of special apparatus tho j resistance of each slab Is accurately fig- j ured. The bnronu also wrote to highway eu- ! gineers all over the country asking for samples of road surface and subsoil from i

Tell them, furthermore, that the Midwest Engine Company, with its almost incomparable facilities covering acres upon acres of ground, can not hope within three years to build even a percentage of these heavy duty, high speed engines which the truck and tractor industry is asking them to build. Whole industries have been built on lesser demands than that of the automotive industry for this single Midwest product Realize fully that this history making Truck and Tractor Engine is only one of many products bearing the Midwest “Dependable Power*’nameplate; only one of the things entering into the notable Midwest success.

highways which have raveled, and other samples showing satisfactory road materials. Slabs sent la were to be accompanied by Information to show the kinds of traffic hauled ove the roads and the extent to which they were kept In repair. BUREAU WILL HELI* TO SELECT MATERIALS. From their own feats and data the bureau will be at>lo more definitely than ever to assist highway commissions in selecting tha right kind of roads for their communities. Engineers of the bureau of public roads say that not enough eclence has been applied to road building. Macadam road In one section of a state provea durable. Therefore, when a road Is to be laid in another county, macadam Is decided upon, regardless of local conditions. An entirely different kind of road structure la needed over a sandy subsoil, for instance, from that suitable over a gravel b*>d. Locality, too, has a good deal to do with the type of road needed. Around large cities where heavy motor trucks make hauls fifty tulles or more out, a dirt read would be torn up In no time. Whereas out in the Rocky mountains, dirt roads ‘are In many districts well adapted to the class of traffic. But almost everywhere heavier roads aro coming to be necessary, and while they are two or three times as expensive as macadam or clay roada they are economical lu the long run. A concrete road now costa from $40,000 to $90,000 a mile, which Is 75 per cent more than It cost before the world war. At that, roads have not gone up so much as some other necessities. Heavy traffic and a great increase In the volume of business are putting a greater strain on the highways and making stronger road surfaces Imperative, especially around cities and towns. In Massachusetts, where account has been kept cf travel on main roads, motor traffic has Increased over COO per cent In nine years and general traffic of all vehicles has increased 243 per cent. Tho greatest of these Increases has come In the last three years. The country is ready for a national system of roads and road transportation. It Is another big Job that must be done. MUSIC AND EMOTIONS. Q. Do the various keys in music express different feelings or emotions? Q. V. W. A. There Is a general belief that certain keys do express particular emotions best, and many composers eousciously o> unconsciously employ them. The minor keys as a class are sad, somber and melancholy, each having particular attributes. In the major keys, C Is simplo, naive and commonplace; G is rural, merry; B flat, noble, elegant, graceful; E flat, sonorous, chivalrous, and so on.
PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY.
One bright morning, as Puss Junior was wending his way down a pleasant valley, whom should be run across but Goosey Goosey Gander. “You nave come Just In time.” said our little traveller,, "for my legs are tired. Carry me on your good, strong bock and fly av.ay with me." And the Gander was very obliging. He took Puss Junior on his back, and by and by they came to an old barnyard, and just then “A cat came singing out of a barn, A pair oof bagpipes under her arm. She sang nothing but uddle-de-dee, Worried a mouse and a bumblebee, l'us* began purring--mouse ran away. And off the bee flew with a loud huzza." “You play very badly, Miss Pussy,” said our litttle traveler, "or was it your purr that frightened the little mouse T\ n Vs. Jam® V* ' “Jack Horner. Puss Jr. and Goosle Gander Went Over and Had a Great Feast.” nnd the bee?” But the little Scotch pussy cat did not answer. She shouldered, her bagpipes uud marched off. And after' that Puss Junior ran after the bumblee bee and asked him for some honey. ‘Why don't you make your own honey?” buzzed the bee crossly. “Unt tired of making honey and not getting any money for it." And I don’t blame him either, do you? For it isn’t very nice to work all summer to fill a beehive with honey and then have some big man come around and take it away. "Oh, well." said Puss, “fly aw-ay then to your flowers!” And he turned around and went back to Goosey Gander. And the kind old gander said: “Get on my back again, and we’U fly away, for what is the use of staying here?” po off they flew across tho sky so bright nnd blue, and after a while they came to a stile that w-as not nearly ns high as the bright blue sky. And who do you suppose was leaning on the stile? Why, Little Jack Horner, who had left his corner because ois thumb wouldn’t pull out a plum! And

of course he was very cross. Oh, dear me. yes '. He was as cross as two sticks, af the grown-ups say, and that means a great deal. ■’l'll tell Mother Goose when I see her, how cross you are,” said Puss Junior, for he didn't like cross little boys, and neither do I, neither do you, I’ru sure. i?o Little Jack Horner went back to his corner in the old snake-fence, because he was in a great big meadow, jou know, just covered with dalslos; and pretty soon along came a great big tty who told him where there was some pie in a baker's shop, and then he and Puss and Goosey Gander went over and had a great feast. And In the next story jou shall hear what happened after that. —Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.) The Right Thing at the Right Time Bj- MART MAR9HAEL S. DCFFEE MOVIE MANNERS. It Isn't always a good plan to look to your favorite film star for an example of good manners, for It may be that the fact that ahe is acting for motion pictures has had something to do in determining her manners. Did you ever notice that even retiring j-oung girls in the moving pictures have a way of laying their hands upon the arms of the men with whom they are conversing, sometimes stroking the lapels of their coats and otherwise handling them as they surely would not and in real life? Because this sort of thing is not regarded as good form, some men very much dislike to have the glris they know affect this familiar manner. Remember, that In the motion pictures, when we must depend on gesture for what we cannot Indicate by spoken words, such show of feeling Is often necessary. So the young girl in the motion pictures meets a man at a tea and lays two hands familiarlj- on his arms and stands close to him, talking up Into his face. In real life she would doubtless stand talking three or four feet away with hands hanging lifelessly at her side. Now this would Indicate nothing In the picture. The actress must show what Is really being achieved b>' spoken word. And this very thing accounts for much of the rushing around and close grouping and waving of arms that you see In the pictures but which certainly is not characteristic of well-bred society. I’o'ite Americans, like the English, avoid gesture to a surprising extent.— Copyright, 1920.
