RAILROAD COAL PICKERS AGAIN PLYING TRADE Women, Children, Some Men, Too, Found in Most Any Yard These Days. WAR CHANGES THINGS With the advent of cold wither the once familiar, and in many Instances pitiful, sight of women and children gathering coal from along railroad tracks in and about Indianapolis, may be seen again. A trip along any railroad track, particularly in those regions where coal care switched, will bring to the eyes of the traveler dozens of poor persons making an effort to obtain fuel enough to keep themselves warm for the night (they have no fires In the daytime) or enough to cook their meager meals. Many of the women form ‘‘parties,” each woman with a basket or a sack, and the crowd will go to the nearest railroad track, where they walk sometimes many miles, picking up a large lump of coal here, a small piece there, until at the end of the day they have a wellfilled basket or sack. Many of them gather up so much coal In this manner that It is difficult for them, weary as they are from their long walk, to drag their day’s find home. THEY KNOW WHERE TO FIND BEST FIELDS. The best field for finding coal, according to these women, Is about the railroad yards or at any place where a large amount of switching of coal cars takes place. This Is easily explained. The continuous bumping of the cars, loaded to the top with coal, causes several lumps to fail at each binpp. Ballroad men will not stop to pick np the large lumps, much less the smaller amounts of coal that fall to the grounds, end they are left to lie on the ground until some woman or child comes along to gather up the “find.” Time was when these people could olimb on the coal cars and roll off a few large lumps of coal, sufficient to last them for a day or two. That was before the war. But along with the many other changes brought about by the war, that practice was stopped. Whe.v the United States Government took over control o' the country's railroads, a criminal offense, a violation of Federal laws, to take coal from a railroad car, no matter where It Was standing. County, city and Justice courts before the war, hesitated to look apon this practice as stealing, and. In few Instances was any person or fined for taking coal from a railroad car.

But the large posters, pasted or nailed up along railroad tracks, on depots and ears, warning of the penalty for taking any article from a railroad car, went a long way toward breaking np the practice of rolling coal from the gondolas. COAL MEN SELDOM MADE COMPLAINTS. Coal men. to whom thesv cars were eonsigned, very seldom made complaints. At that time they explained their lack Os action by saying they expected to hare the car weigh 'short, and It might as well lose weight In this manner as to have the coal lost along the way by the shifting of cars. • But women and children are not the only persons who make these foraging expeditions for coal. A proportionate quota of men also carry their sacks along the tracks, vieing with the others in their efforts to obtain a large supply, so they may not have to come out again for a few days. -.. One particularly frnltful Seld for picking' op coal is on the Belt railroad, In the yielnlty of the Midwest Engine Company. Here in the old days, organized “parties" of coal pickers would gather, and it was common enough for the police emergency squad to make from ten to twenty runs In each twenty-four hours' to the scene to dispel disorder that arose among the pickers. Baby bnggies, baskets, wheelbarrows, gnnny sacks. In fact, any other article that would hold coal, would be pressed Into service. With the shortage of coal this year, and the accompanying high price asked lor what one can bny, it is expected the quota of coal pickers will be considerably Increased. Trained Dogs Win Leniency for Him , “Judge, how could I steal coil when I had fire dogs with me?” asked Henry Graham, negro, in city court today. Judge Pritchard seemed unable to answer, the question and turned to two railroad detectives. Both volunteered the Information that Graham had rolled chunks of coal from the cars at Seventeenth street and the Big Four tracks, that he had five dogs with him and that be started to carry the coal away. "But what about the dogs,” asked the court. "They are trained dogH, Judge,” the detectives answered. "Their names aro Blaekie, Curly, Ned, Buck and Spot, all cur dogs, but trained. After we arrested him the dogs Just followed and he took ■is to a garage a short distance away, where he trains his dogs and, judge, they did everything from stand on th<dr heads to fire a cannon. They ar4 aure trained doga." The court explained that, a man who was kind hearted enough to love a dog was deserving of kindness on the part of the court, and Judge Pritchard aessed a fine of a $1 and costs and ten days in jail, but suspended the Judgment.

G. O. P. Headquarters Staff Entertained

The final act <tf the 1920 campaign was performed by the Republican State committee when a luncheon was given to the headquarters staff at the Hotel Severin. More than fifty employes Os the com- - mittee were present. Frederick E. Scbortemder, secretary of the committee, left this afternoon with E. M. Wasmuth, State chairman, for the latter’s home In Huntington, where he will be a guest for a few days. TO SEEK WAY OUT OF THREATENED DAMAGE ACTION (Continued From Page One.) in the contract the county faced a damage salt of at least $22,000. Councilman Hence Orme said he desired that members of the county council call in members of the State board of accounts so the council could know in black and white where the board stood. “Mr. Walker, we desire to do our duty and we feel that we have and now we pass the buck to the State board of accounts,” said Mr. Orme. STATE BOARD IN DOUBT, TOO? “The State board of accounts doesn’t know what kind of an animal the buck belongs to,’’ replied Mr. Walker. The matter went over until Friday morning when an effort will be made to clear up a controversy which has held up work —bn the bridge for several months. Counclman Orme suggested that the council should havS" a legislative committee to work in the interest of Marion County with the legislators of Marion County. No action was taken, but it is thought such a committee will be appointed. - The council also considered requested appropriations totaling approximately $30,000 to cover expenses of courts and county offices, np to the first of the year. BIST OF SOME OF APPROPRIATIONS ASKED. Among some of the appropriations asked are; $20,000 for registration and election expenses, $2,000 for supplies for county clerk, SI,OOO for supplies and postage for the county treasurer, $2,000 for additional salary and excess fees for county recorder. $3,000 as sheriff’s fees for boarding prisoners, SI,OOO for courthouse supplies, $4,000 for the support of children under the .Board of Gurdalns. SI,OOO as fees to Justices, constables and physicians in Insanity inquests; $8 000 for the support of orphans In local Institutions. approximately $7,700 for erection of sidewalks on Delaware and Alabama streets, $2,000 for expenses of juries in the Criminal Court, and other appropriations. No action will be taken until tomorrow on the appropriations. Several of the officers making requests were asked to submit a detailed and Itemized statement as to the nature t>f the contemplated expenditures. LEMCJJE’S REQUEST MEETS DOUBT.

The council questioned the necessity of allowing the request of County Treasurer Ralph Lemeke for SI,OOO for supplies and postage on tbe position that it ’was the duty of the taxpayer to furnish a stamped envelope in tyhlch the treasurer returns the tax receiptt, In discussing a request for an appropriation of S2OO ilk expense for the poor in Washington township, the council was Informed that a trustee had sent a woman and child on a train with Pullman accommodations to California or some Western States. It was explained that the woman was without funds and it was thought cheaper to pay her carfare out of the township to a Western State. The council tomorrow will take deriu te action on request.of the county commis -f sloners that an appropriat’on be mads so as to enable the commissioners to lease property adjoining the present Juvenile Detention Home and connect the two buildings in an effort to relieve congestion at the home. The council appeared to favor the plan.

DARKEN JOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know. The ue es Rage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother’s tlms. She. nsed It to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.

Improved by the addition of other Ingredients, wnicn can be depended upon to restore natural color and twenty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says It darkens the hair eo naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it ha* been applied. You almply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, It becomes beautlfuUy dark and g&ssr—Advertisement. Mr. Voiles Takes* Adler-i-ka!

FARMERS ASKED TO PLANT WALNUT State Forester Points Out Value of Wood and Nuts. An appeal was made today by Charles C. Deam, State forester under the department of conservation, that Hoosler farmers plant walnut trees, not alone because the wood is the most valuable of all our native merchantable timber, but these trees comparatively early Id life bear a nut crop of considerable t food value. * Mr. Deem laid particular stress on the walnut as the most valuable of all trees for roadside planting. Now Is the best time of the year for planting walnut, and as the nuts are planted, the work is attended by little labor or expense. One to three walnuts should be planted in a hill where the site of the future tree is selected. The nuts should be buried from two to three* inches deep. Because the walnut does not produce an OTer abundance of shade and can easily be pruned high up, much of the objection to any kind of trees along roadsides is removed. The argument has b>en advanced that trees bordering highways cause the roads to retain unnecessary moisture after rainfall, with the result they more quickly deteriorate. Also that trees with wide-spreading branches prodnee so much shade they prevent all vegetation nearby. Not so the walnut, for wtyi proper pruning the tree grows tali and its branch spread Is sufficiently htgh from the ground to make the shade negligible as regards retaiding cultivation about Its base. For this same reason the walnut is the most valuable tree to plant anywhere In the pasture. Because It Is vigorous and better able to withstand attacks by insect pests which often kill other species, the walnut is recommendeu for woods planting and especially In the farmer’s woodlot. i One specific advantage of this species, in the opinion of Mr. Deaun, is Us deep root system. Cultivation around it will not Injure the growth as in the case of trees possessing only a surface root sysNot considering the fact that a fine walnut stand Is possible for any farmer to obtain at minimum cost, the exceedingly high value o( the wood as marketiibl* timber and the shade it produces, one must consider the annual remuneration derived from the nut crop. Today walnuts are selling at 7*6 rents a pound on the retail martet la most Hcosier cities.

noon speeches were made ty Miss Margaret Wade of Anderson, president of the Indiana 'Library Association, and Miss Alice Tyler of Cleveland, of the American Library Association. “Too often we think of a library as a j collection of books on shelves instead of as a place best fitted to render service * to ‘adult education,’ ” declared Mr/Milan. He enumerated as the direct or indirect “services” of the library as follows: j The extension scholos of universities, | the agricultural extensions, the corre- ; spondence schools, the ’ “get-rlch-qaick” publications, the chatauqua summer schools, schools of a series of lectures, .labor education association, national or-1 ganlzatlong, State and Federal bureaus. | He pointed out that the library Is a : “reference” In all these subjects and functions In every Instance In “selfeducation.’ Mrs. Edwards pointed out that a library can not be a business asset when run on part time, any more -than a parttime factory. The common uses of the library were classified “as instruction and amusement.” She further classified the uses as development of the individual for himself, for use in the community aiyl the cause of a better mutual understanding between people of different standing. Miss Dinsraoor said the reference dejartmept for high school students should teach them how to study and get information, rather than the extent of their, leaMiing.
