Open Saturday Evenings Main Office 6 to 8:30 P. M. Branches Until 8 P. M. yiftrhrr fesbtng* anb Crust <£a tatuwu, SENATE ADOPTS SCHOOLCHANGE Resolution to Make Office of State Superintendent Appointive Carries. After a hard straggle on* of the Goodrich centralisation schemes, that of making the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction appointive instead of elective, has finally met with success in the Senate and now goes to the House for action. The provision Is contained in a resolution for a constitutional amendment, which was defeated Feb. 3, but which was called up in the Senate yesterday on a motion to reconsider by Senator Don P. Strode of Kokomo. The vote was 26 to 17. The opposition to the measure came from Senator James J. Nejdl, Whiting, who told the Senate that the argument “on the quiet” for the passage of the amendment is that "there Is a bad mess in the educational department here in the Statehouse.” “If the Legislature has the right to enact law giving the tax board the power to remove assessors .who are elected, it has the right to pass a law for the removal of the superintendent of public instruction,” he said. “There Is no necessity for such an amendment to the constitution.” IRISH RELIEF WORK OF MERCY Solicitors Have but One Purpose in View. Plans have been completed for the campaign to start tomorrow in Indianapolis and Marion County to raise money with which to provide food and clothing for the thousands of starving women and children of Ireland, and It is believed more than 1.000 persons will take au active part. The State drive will jot start until March IS, the date set for the clos- : lng of the city campaign. According to the plans, every person in the city will be appealed to tor a con- , tributlon to the fund, regardless of religious or political belief on tue Irish question. Workers have been Instructed ! to refrain from discussing any side cf the question, bt the humanitarian int—that the campaign is strictly aa enterprise of mercy. The city has been divided into districts and the district chairmen are as follows: John T. McShane, Leo Welch, Bert Kavanaugh, George Ki-e, .lames Deery, J. C. Vanler, Patrick Kelly, Frank O'Donnell. Lawrence Welch, John C. j MeCloskey, Edward Barry, Jeremiah Egan, John McGlnty, D. S. Kibers ai'd William Coggrove. Indiana is expected to raise a total of $350,000 in the drive and it is hoped that a large part of this amount will be raised in Marion County. P. C. Keilly, chairman of the Stale executive committee, emphasized the fact that the campaign Is not affiliated In any way with any political or religious body. “Whatever the rights or wrongs of Ireland's cause there is no denying the fact that thousands ot women and children are sorely In need of food,” Mr. Keilly said.

There is a Law —more arbitrary and inflexible than any statute —and it rules prices with an iron hand. It is the Law of Supply and Demand. When the demand is greater than the supply prices go up—when supply exceeds the demand prices come down. The Law of Supply and Demand is responsible for the housing shortage in Indianapolis. There has been little building for three or four years. Yet the population is steadily increasing. There are more people in Indianapolis and fewer houses in proportion. Demand exceeds Supply. Demand for practically every commodity has fallen off and prices have dropped. The acute demand for houses is serious now, and will continue so for several years. It will require five years of unparalleled building activity to wipe out the shortage caused by three years’ inactivity, and to care for the normal increase in demand. This means that real estate prices are unusually stable. Real estate prices are always the last to go up in a rising market, and the last to reflect a downward movement. Now —in the face of the extraordinary demand—real estate prices must maintain their present level —probably for several years. Now is a good time to buy a home. Good real estate is worth what you pay for it. Investment in a home is protected against depreciation due to a falling market by the infallible law of supply and demand. When you buy a home consult a Realtor. He has detailed and specific information that will be valuable to you. He can serve you best.
