SENATE DEFEATS EASIER METHOD Kills Measure to Facilitate Constitutional Change. With two proposed. constitutional amendments passed and one killed thirteen remain to be acted on by the Senate. The first amendment to be passed was the one barring aliens from voting at elections and granting full suffrage *to women. The amendment wag Introduced the first time bercre tne national suffrage amendment was ratified. It passed by a vote of 4{S to 2, Senators Cravens and Hepler voting against it. The other amendment passed was the one to prevent the increase in salary of an official or of his term of office while he is in office. There was considerable argument on this subject. The amendment which was defeated was intended to make the amendment of the constitution easier. It provided that amendments need be submitted at only one session of the Legislature instead of two, as at present and that they may be passed by a vote of the majority of the voters who cast their ballots at the election in which the are submitted instead of by a majority of all who voted at the last preceding general election. The amendments as far as they are passed by the Senate will go to the House. After passage there they will be submitted to a referendum at the next general election. They passed both houses In 1919. Two bills straightening out legal tangles over the construction of a hos pltal at Shelbyville and a bill legalising certain public notices under an act o! 1920 were passed. The Senate also passed a bill making It optional with school authorities and the board of health whether a schoolhouse shall be constructed within 500 fee of a barn used for breeding purposes or a railroad. Such construction Is prohibited in the present law. The bill was designed to fit a particular case In Jackson township, Allen County.

WONDERS ABOUT FLYLEAF WRITER SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.—Armed with a copy of “Hymns of the Heart,” Mrs. Charles A. Wheatley started looking for her husband today. She also wished' to find the woman whose writing appeared on the leaves of the hymnal. Wheatley is a lecturer at the Spiritual. Ist Church. Sunday morning, according to Mrs. Wheatley, a woman sitting next to her handed her a hymn book. “How much will you take for your husband?" was written on a flyleaf. "He's not for sale," Mrs. Wheatley wrote, and handed back the book. Wheatley at the moment was occupying the pulpit. “Why, he is mine, I lore him" Mrs. Wheatley read when the book was returned to her. “So do I,” she wrote, and handed back the volume. And then “negotiations" began in earnest. The strange woman wrote at length to the effect that she was ready to go to any extreme to get the husband, according to Mrs. Wheatley. HOROSCOPE “The stars incline, but do riot compel !’* FRIDAY, JAN. 2*. This should be a fairly fortunate day. While the Sun, Jnpiter and Neptune are all In benefic aspect, Neptune alone Is strongly adverse. All the planetary forces appear to pressge a settling of disturbed business conditions, or at least a better feeling. The sway is conducive to optimistic plans and to initiative in big enterprises. Persons whose birthdate it is should especially safeguard themselves against fire and thieves during the coming year. They will gain success by pushing business or professional activities. Children horn on this day probably will be exceedingly gifted, but Inclined to be visionary. These imaginative persons succeed best as employes.—Copyright. 1821.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1921.

Steal Physician’s Car, but Leave His Case With Police Thieves stole Dr. E. D. Harper's automobile from in front of the Odd Fellows building, where the physician has his office, last night while many persons were passing. The thieves were audacious enough to drive to police headquarters and deposit Dr. Harper's instrument case, which had been in the automobile when It was stolen. The case was found on the front steps of police headquarters by Patrolman Davis. The thieves, however, were impolite enough to fail to leave a card announcing they had called at police headquarters and found nobody at home but might make a return call later and bring back the automobile.

DR. LOGAN TELLS OF SURVEY USES Topographic Map Need Set Forth by Geologist. Indiana has been favored with a great variety of natural mineral resources, the abundance of which is a matter for self-congratulation. Some of these natural resources have reached an enviable state of development, according to Dr. W. N. Logan, geologist for the State department of conservation, which is backing a bill before the Indiana Legislature for a topographic survey of the State for the reason the extensive future development and exploitation of oertaln mineral fields will be expedited by the aid of such. The development of all this has been hindered by the lack of proper basic maps on which the location and the essential preliminary steps in development could be estimated, Dr. Logan contends. Dr. Logan gives the following reasons for a topographic survey:: “One of the first requests made by the representative of an industrial company using natural resources and seeking a location in Indiana is for an accurate map showing not only the location of the resources, but also the topographic conditions at its outcrops. For there are engineering problems connected with plant locations which the topographic map helps to solve. The time and expense Involved In securing such data deters industrial companies from seeking locations where such maps aro not available. “Almost every line of industrial development utilizing the natural resources of the State are dependent on the information contained in the topographic map, and where such information Is not at hand it must be obtained at great expense and generally to the discouragement of Industry. "In some instances the facts presented by the topographic map must be sectored flora the same area by several industries or departments. This duplication of work is far more expensive than the cost of the mapping which provides the data in a permanent form accessible to all de-

All must use the data which is presented by the topographic map.” No specified amount is asked of the Legislature to conduct this work, It being left to the opinion of the members, with the explanation that the Federal government thinks so well of the topographic survey that It assists in the work by matching dollar for dollar appropriated by the States. The government also pays the cost of printing the maps. Dr. Logan estimates that It will cost approximately $6,000 to map the average 15 degree quadrangle In Indiana.
