ICE CREAM SODAS are cheaper now, but there are a lot of us who do not care for them at any price! ANOTHER PART of the “invaluable service" rendered the county by Claris Adams seems to have been directed toward the relief of Albert D. Spurlin. IN THE NEAR FUTURE Comptroller Bryson may condescend to tell the people of Indianapolis the condition of the city treasury as the law says he should have told them last month! WHAT DIFFERENCE does the law make between friends, chortles Mr. Bryson as he continues to keep the people of Indianapolis in ignorance as to the condition of the city treasury! THE FORMER PRESIDENT of Santo Domingo, who is visiting Buenos Aires, is denouncing the United States for military occupation of his country. Why not come here and tell us all about it? THE REPORT that Germany supplied Lenin with fifty million gold marks —practically ten million dollars —with which to corrupt Russia during the war, makes one wonder why Russia sold itself so cheaply. CARL BERNAUER, a recipient of lenity at the hands of Judge Collins, says he could not have shot Sam Eaids because he was then engaged In ■tealing an auto and planning a hold-up in another part of the city! GOVERNOR McCRAY has delegated the sole pardoning power to the State board of pardons and paroles. Now, if the Legislature will only abolish that hoard property owners will bo able to rest better at night. C. H. STRATTON of Sullivan is mentioned as the probable successor of C. J. Orbison of “Dear Jerry’’ fame. The number of orders for whisky given to Republican politicians by Orbison indicated that he was entirely satisfactory to the incoming party.

Bryson's Neglect Without any desire to interfere with the political work which Mr. Robert Bryson, our genial comptroller, appears to believe more important than controlling, we wish to suggest that he is really injuring the Jewett administration by the neglect of official duties enjoined upon him by law. Also, by failing to make a report on the condition of the funds entrusted to his care, he is creating a very vivid suspicion that the true condition of the fund3 is not such as reflects great credit upon himself or his administration of the comptroller’s office. Indianapolis citizens have not yet forgotten that Mr. Bryson rushed Into print about the first of the year to claim pristine giory in the statement that SIOO,OOO had survived the onslaughts of the administration and nestled comfortably in the city treasury at the end of 1929. Nor have they forgotten that the same Mr. Bryson slipped quietly into the city council chambers a few days later and asked a temporary loan to pay the current expenses of the city cm the grounds that the treasury was empty. The condition of the treasury of the city of Indianapolis is almost as mysteriously concealed by the city administration as the real reasons for the removal of George Coffin from the police department. Efforts on the part of the bureau of municipal research to compel tho use of a budget system failed because Mr. Bryson neglected to keep the budget open to public inspection. Frequent attempts during the month of January to get Mr. Bryson to disclose the status of funds under his control were met with evasions and delays. Eventually, the thirty days in which the comptroller is presumed by the law to report the condition of the funds faded away and there was no report made. Further, Mr. Bryson admitted that he had no intention of complying with the requirements of the law. It has long been the boast of Mayor Jewett that whenever it could be pointed out to him that any member of his administration wms neglecting his duties, he would proceed to make that member function or retire from office. Mr. Bryson has not complied with the statutory requirements concerning a report on the condition of the funds under his control. Will Mayor Jewett call him to account for his neglect? Just why is it that the Jewett administration does not wish the citizens of Indianapolis ’to know anything about the finances of Indianapolis?

Indianapolis Homes Writing under the title, “Through English Eyes,” in the Woman's Home Companion, Lenora Mary Ervine pays a tribute to Indianapolis homebuilders, as follows: I saw some new houses in Indianapolis that were excellent. One in particular, belonging to a friend of mine, seemed to me to be ideal. "When I tell my English friends of the clothes chute from bathroom to basement laundry in this house, they listen to me incredulously. It also had beautiful polished woodwork; china cupboards, with glass fronts, built into the walls; bookcases and wardrobes, also built into the walls; and a contrivance for making ice—not ice cream—but ice! It had a lovely sun-parlor and a well-ventilated and well lit basement that was snugger than many London drawing-rooms. This basement contained a laundry, a furnace-room for supplying central heat and hot water, and, underneath the sun-parlor, a long room pleasantly arranged for small theatrical entertainments. It was a house with five bedrooms, designed to be run by one servant, and I thought she would be a lucky girl. I wish that our English Ministry of Health would send a group of young English architects to Indianapolis and Chicago, so that they might learn how to construct a domestic interior. Life would then be much pleasanter for the housewife in England. As things are, I, for one, am tom between a desire to take my walks in England and do my housekeeping in America. If we could combine our gardened country with your domestic architecture we should not need to envy any one. As it is, American women seem to me to be the most fortunate women in the w r orld, and I hope they appreciate their clever husbands as much as they ought to. So, it remains for an English woman to appreciate and call attention to one of the most obvious advantages of being a citizen of this “no mean city.”

The Answer The response the American Nation has given to the call to feed the millions of hungry children In Europe, or shall it be said, the answer to Herbert Hoover's appeal, is proving worthy of this Nation, and its great wealth. Possibly the leadership of Herbert Hoover, which is known to be unselfish and practical, ha3 done more towards making it a success than anything else. There is a strong tendency, in our conservatism, to feel that Europe should work out Its own problems, especially Germany and Austria, but with the heroio figure of Hoover pleading for little children who are hungry, the heart melts and funds are provided. Out of the usual comes the offer of the chief executives of the big railroad brotherhoods to move fifty million bushels of grain, without charge for the men’s labor. When this was recently made, Western farmers signified their willingness to donate the grain and now the heads of the railroads will cooperate so that when most needed, it is possible American generosity will actually relieve the terrible situation over in central Europe. Probably there is no other in the world who could accomplish the great humanitarian work, excepting Hoover. He has so inspired confidence that if one does not give funds, at least a contribution of labor or grain—equally as important as funds—will be made. This movement is to relieve children who are in distress. It is to make some little child sound in health; to encourage physical welfare, which is primarily necessary before education, growth or usefulness can be realized. It is known to be so necessary that America will make good the requests of its great leader, Herbert Hoover. The response by the labor unions Is indeed generous and worthy of recognition.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By Ann Lisle

CHAPTER CXXXI. I was glad when we stopped a moment later and Dick West came to our cab window to announce that we must walk the rest of the way. Wo were In front of a threadlike brick passage between two buildings. It was a dark chasm, so narrow that only one could cross it at a time, it opened on a square court yard with a large iron grating set in the center. No chink of light came up through the narrow openings in this grating. Dick West led the way across it into a dingy doorway, up three flights of dark wooden steps—through a tiled corridor and at last down three flights of steps again. And there we were In a brightly lighted Chinese restaurant with the usual floor of mosaics, teakwood tables inlaid with motlier-of-pearl and all the garish and showy trimmings of the average Chinese restaurant as we of America know it. A wheezy player-piano was grinding out •‘Mighty I.nk’ a Rose" and a dozen couples were dancing In the cleared space In the middle of the floor. It was about as thrilling as the "Home Restnurnnt" at the corner of Main and State streets back home. Every one .teemed to think that a splen did joke had been pulled off —and mirth waxed mighty when Dick West pointed out a large front entrance brightly lighted and presided over by two crouching stone dragons. “We could have come In that wav." he laughed. "I just put In all that traveling to —make It harder.”

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory-

Winkle, bltnkle Willie Is running through the ton n, In his velvet slippers and little nig.itgown; He shields his flickering candle for fear it will blow out, And through the keyhole In the door h gives a little shout. “Wash yonr hands and faces, time to get In bed, Pull tno covers to your chin whan your prayers are raid. When you hear the rooster crowing in the morn Jump up bright and happy like a lltt.o fawn." • • • Thla Is what Puss heard one evening as he entered the town of Nod. for It was just the hour when tho twinkle twinkle star begins to bloom like a little flower In the sky, you know. "lieur me," said Push to himself, "I shan't have much time to look about, for It Is growing late.” And just then who should come by but the little old woman who swept the cobwebs off the sky. "Hello, little catl" said she. "Where are you going?" "I'm sure 1 don't know, replied Puss "Itn a stranger here.” "Come with me," said the little old woman. "I will gi' you house and lodging*..” and she led the way to a little cottage covered with rose vines and morning glories, which wore fast asleep, for they never wake until the sun shines, you know, and go to bed early every afternoon.

And every one seemed to enter Into the spirit of his adventure—Phoebe most of all. But I was thinking of the hints Evvy had thrown out about Virginia's extravagance—or the Intimate way she and Phoebe had stood together in the dressing joom of the Roehambeau —but most of all, I was thinking of the way Phoebe had plied that pernicious little lipstick. So 1 didn't enter whole-heart-edly into the spirit of things. It was Evvy who noticed this first. She leaned across Tom and spoke to me in a rallying tone: "Tom, do be nicer to your Donna Anna. Sho's as pale as Phoebe used to be before I taught the baby to rouge a bit. Are you bored, dear, or is it just that you don't like the way the West family is monopolizing the Harrisons? You know, Jim Is rich now,” she giggled, “you can't expect him to forego the spice of life now that he can afford it- They're an extravagant lot, the Harrisons, wdth emotions or money or flirtations. Watch my little pupil, Phoebe.” Evvy’s eyes met mine mockingly, ebal lenglngl.v. And suddenly Pat Dalton's warning flared out in my memory: "The wqir gave her the privilege of breaking her engagement to Jim. But if I know Evvy, she'll try to get even. Your brother and Phoebe may be her way." Phoebe was changed, sadly changed. Was Evvy deliberately setting out to cheapen her standards? And why was Virginia so blind to It all ?—Copyright, 11)21.

Well, ns soon as Puss was Inride this little house he saw how clean the ittlo old woman kept it. And I guess she knew how, for any one who can sweep cobwebs off the sky can certainly keep them off the ceiling. Don’t you think so? And the next thing Puss saw was a great big black cat with green eyes, and she was washing her face with her paw and was purring away like a little breeze among tho sea grass. 'I am the pussy cat that went to London to see the queen." sne said. Po Puss sat down and Raked her to tell him all shout-It, and Just &s she was about to begin a little mouse crept out of hla hole and said.

ASKS ARMENIAN AID IN SCHOOLS Hines Ilrges Indiana Officials to Organize. L. N T . Hines, superintendent of public Instruction of Indiana, acting as chairman of the public school division of the Near East Relief State Organization, has asked all school superintendents and principals of Indiana to organize their departments for Armenian orphan aid. Mr. Hines points out that Near East Relief, aiding Armenia and other Bible lands, should not be confused with the European Relief Council headed by Herbert Hoover. "The schools everywhere are helping the starving children of Armenia through the agency of Near East Relief,’’ Mr. Hines says. “We have the example ot such large school systems as New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia. This service is patriotic as well as humanitarian, since the plight of Armenia Is dui chiefly to the fact that her people foughi on our side in the World War. “Our Government has recognized thal Near East Relief is not one of many good causes, but is in a distinct class by it self, by* Incorporating it under a special act of Congress. This gives tile- Near East Relief the same governmental relation as the Red Cross and the Boy Scouts. These three are the only welfare organizations receiving such recognition." Mr. TTlnes 1s encouraging the reading of literature on tho Armenian question by public school students.

TIIK COMMON COLD. The most prevalent source of Infection that we have at present Is the common cold. During the summer months this affliction Is less In evidence. As fall approaches, however, and we are more shut up In cur homes, factories and schools, because windows must be shut and the fires lighted, there Is less chance for ventilation and the so-called cold begins to be common, Indeed. The familiar symptoms of sneezing, running noses, tickling sensations in the throat, with later some rough—all accompanied by chilly sensations and general mean feeling, are set up by a number of causative agents, some of which are not fully understood. Colds should be taken more seriously than usually 1s the case, first because many of th most serious diseases, especially in childhood, as, for example. Infantile paralysis, are ushered In by what appears to be a common cold: second, because they are at times very Infectious and frequently sweep through a househeld. a schoolroom, a store or factory, and In their course some of the cases develop Into serious conditions; third, because thpy directly sud indirectly cause great discomfort and even suffering and economic loss of time to the individual and to the community. Many people who have repeated colds have some local trouble 1n their nose or throat that acts ss a starting place for these Infections. Such people need to be treated by thetr physician or a nose and throat specialist for the healing or removal of this point of infection. Therefore, it Is wise to have a careful nose and throat examination If yon are a sufferer from frequently repeated colds. Bacteria play a part In all colds: nevertheless In many Instances exposure to cold and wet at times Is tha starting point of the infectious cold, and hence he name “cold " We say we are chilled. This Is because chill causes a disturbance of the circulation and the heat regulating machinery of th“ body: tills allows the bacteria which are always present to get rinrted ns an Infection, at first local, and later becoming general In the more severe types of colds.

PREVENTION. There nre a few rules of hygiene that are of unquestionable help In preventing colds First, do not live in a dry overheated room. If you are moving about do not have the temperature over 05 degrees and under no condition have It over 70 degrees. It Is also necessary to have adequate ventilation that will allow fc.r fresh out-of-door air to be admitted to the rooms. If possible, some moisture should he supplied to the air. Constipation also predisposes to colds and should he combatted by proper hygiene and dletry measures' A dally tub er sponge hath or a drv rub with a coarse towel will help get tho circulation of the skin In such good condition that it will be üblo to resist the action of chill, whether following exposure or due to cooling off after getting oT'Thented by exercise. A day or two of rest early in the course "of n cold will do more to hurrv con valeseetice than medicine without rest. IF vor HAVE REPEATED COLDS VISIT YOUR PHYSICIAN AND HAVE HIM SEE IF THERE IS ANY LOCAL CAUSE THAT CAN BE REMOVED.

SEES TREELESS STATE IN 202f C. C. Dean, at Ohio Meeting Talks of Reforestation* COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 2.—DeclMta# no appreciable headway Is being mad® toward reforestation in Indiana and that the meager timber supply is being cut and utilized at an alarming rate, Charles C. beam, State forester for the Indian* department of conservation, raised the question, will Indiana be treeless in less than 100 years? He was one of thp principal speakers yesterday at the sn* ! nual meeting of the Ohio State Forestry Association. Mr. Deam pointed out that It require* a hundred years to grow a tree to saw log size and that eaw logs cut 100 years hence must be email trees growing today. He suggested we look to the East and see the light. Hundreds of years ago China cleared her hills of their dense forests and subsequently farmed them until all the soil was worn away. Today that country has thousands of mile* of desolate wastes that could supply the country with timber, but is not fit for agricultural production, and thousands of her people are dying for want of food and fuel, the speaker said. However, sleepy China has awakened and now is planning to reforest her hills where there still remains enough soil to grow a tree, although it must be done at a great cost. “Will Indiana follow China’s example?” asked Mr. Deam. "We have thousands of acres of hill lands in southern Indiana that have been farmed until they no longer are fit for agriculture. We have additional thousands of acres of hilly land that Is still In second growth forest that should never be cleared." Mr. Deam explained the bill recently In the Indiana Legislature which seek* an appropriation of $500,000 with which to purchase typical forest land and convert such land Into State forests.

PEARL HUNTERS ARE KEPT BUSY Venezuelan Fisheries Employ 2,000 Vessels. CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—Pearl flshert** *n the coasts of Venezuela and Lower California are being industriously worked, according to recent reports, owing to Aha shortage of pearls In the Oriental flshor!es and the present high price and popularity of the gems in world markets. The Venezuelan pearl oyster beds are located at Margarita Island, Maracapana, Maear.ao, Cubagua, El Tlrano, Ferlamar and the Golfo de Las Perlas. They have been fished since the sixteenth century. One of the largest pearls of history was found at Margarita Island. It became one of the crown jewels of Phillip 11. of Spain and was valued at SIOO,OOO. It weighed 124 grains. In the romantic days when Sir Henry Morgan, L'Ollonnois, Portugues. Roc Braziliano and other outlaws of the sea harried the coasts of the Spanish Main, the fleets of the pearl fishers wre favorite prey of the buccaneers, ffl Two thousand vessels are now engaged in the Venezuelan pearl fisheries and th annual returns from the Margarita Island beds alone are said to be $600,000. The pearl fisheries of Lower California are of comparatively recent origin but now engage several hundred vessels. Other valuable pearl fisheries in th Pacific waters of America are on the western coasts of Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.

MEETS APPEAL OF ATTERBURY Worker Denies Reputed Statements of Agreement. Editor The Times: I saw In yesterday's Times a few statements made by ". W. Atterbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to which I take excoptlon. As I have been working under the national agreement of railroad shop men ever since It was adopted I know of what I speak. The first statement was! "One provision establishes the right of an employe to double time should he be forced to work through lunch hour, although he is given an hour off later in the day.” This statement is untrue. '•lf an employe works through tha noon hour he Is paid straight time for It, and allowed time for lunch (with pay).’’ The only time an employe Is paid double time ts affer working continuously for sixteen hours, and any real American will say he should be paid for that.
