W. D. BOYCE IS INTERVIEWED IN NEW ZEALAND American Publisher Finds Many Things to Commend Far West Country. HEARTY WELCOME GIVEN The welcome that Is extended to Americans who visit the Far West and the interest that is shown in their opinions and impressions of the West as compared with the United States is illustrated by the reception accorded W. D. Boyce, owner of the Indiana Times, in New Zealand and other colonies. The Daily Times of Christ Church, New Zealand, contained the following on Jan. 24: AMERICAN VIEWS. A Variety of Topics. Publicity for New Zealand. f Mr. W. D. Boyce of Chicago, publisher of the “Chicago Ledger." the “Saturday Blade.” the “Farming Business” and the “Indiana Daily Times." is visiting New Zealand, accompanied by W. M. Taylor, an American Journalist, and Mr. Merl La %'oy, photographer, who, during the war, used his camera in the Balkans and thereabouts. Mr. Boyce’s object is to j supply bis country with information 1 which will improve its acquaintance with New Zealand. He has traveled practically all over the world. Yesterday he spoke on a variety of topics in the course of an Interview. “So far as I have become acquainted with the people of New Zealand, It seems to me that you have a higher average quality of citizenship than we have In the United States.” said Mr. Boyce. “You have the advantage of being a practically pure-blooded people. That makes for a higher civilization. The mixture of races In America makes the country much more difficult to govern. I don’t think sufficient is known in America about New Zealand for there to be any definite public opinion concerning the dominion, but I think that every American who comes to New Zealand must carry away the most friendly feeling toward your people, who are the most kindly I have ever met with.” INSTITUTIONS IN INTERESTS OF PEOPLE. Concerning the political administration of New Zealand, Mr. Boyce said he j considered big men, who were trying to do tbeir best for the country, were at the head of affairs. That had always seemed to ba the ease. "The spirit you showed In the war In sending more men In proportion than any other country in the world speaks for Itself cocerning your loyalty,” he said. “It seems to me that your little state institutions are in the Interests of the people. The public trust Is a wonderful institution, and I am going to advocate it very seriously when I get home. State life insurance is not bad, either. Your railway service is mighty good, considering the size of the country and its population. “Hydro-electric power will form your greatest economic advantage. You ought to concentrate in developing It, for you have an enormous amount of water running to waste here. I never have seen another country that has such real ability to constantly make electric power. There is no reason why, when you have the water all harnessed, you should not furnish light and power sufficient for all your requirements at half the expense that It could be done with coal. I don’t see why you should import hydro-electric machinery. I believe that it could be built In New Zealand. It is a simple thing to build water wheels, generators and the like. GOOD NEWSPAPERS IN NEW ZEALAND. “The newspapers in New Zealand are a surprise to me. They are splendidly written, well printed, and well supported, despite the fact that you have a population of only a little more than a million. And you are up against big odds on occount of the high cost of materials. The high prices of newsprint result simply from -combination. The price Is not fixed on cost of manufacture. Mills are shutting down in order not to glut the market. New Zealanders are paying about S3 per cent more than they ought to pay for paper, taking into consideration the price in Canada and the cost of transport. Sufficient paper to supply the world's needs can now be produced. They have got the price up so high that they have put 20 per cent of the publishers In the United States out of business. Papers have been consolidated to meet the stringency. I am afraid there is no timber in this country suitable for use in making newsprint. I have never found it In any places south of the equator. The right sort of timber seems to grow only In the northern half cf the world, and not less than SO degrees north of the equator. This would be a wonderful country for, paper’mill* If you could find, the wood here. You might be able to erect mills here and treat Imported pulp, seeing that you have ■uch a splendid supply of water power. Japan Imports to a considerable extent, but she has nothing to eqnal New Zealand In water power. The government and the publishers might get together. Import pulp from Sweden and Norway, providing there are no trusts powerful enough to stop them, and by manufacturing the paper here, make ft paying business of It. ‘New Zealand seems to hare suffered least of all countries from the effects of the war upon business conditions. That Is because you are anew country and an agricultural country. If you were a manufacturing country you would go bad for quite a while. Trade In the United States has slumped 20 per cent, generally speaking, of late. It will keep sliding till we get back to something like pre-war prices and conditions. You are very happily situated in New Zealand.” WILSON WORKED HARD FOR COUNTRY. “President Wilson is a man who has Worked very hard and earnestly for his country,” said Mr. Boyce, In reply to a question. “He practically wrecked his health working to get the endorsement of his country for the League of Nations. The league would have been indorsed QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION Get Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 17 years and calomel s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, soothing vegetable laxative. No griping is the "keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you h ive a “dark brown mouth” — bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache —torpid liver—constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every light just j to keep right. Try them. 15c and 30c. I

had not the opposition had to oppose It. Endorsement would have meant the return of the Democrats. The opposition had all the Germans and disgruntled elements with it. Further, the Democrats made a mistake in putting up a ’wet’ candidate. The country had gone dry three to one, and that dry element fought against the ‘wet’ Democratic candidate. However, I think you will find that the country will get into the league somehow. The thinking and the pure-blooded people wish to go Into the league. “The liquor traffic is as dead as slavery in the States. We have a written Constitution, and It takes three-quarters of the States to make a change. The amendment to the Constitution has been carried 3 to 1, and there never has been an amendment taken off the statute book. The United States is dry to stay. We are going to have some trouble in enforcing it and it will be some time before it is thoroughly enforced. There was a good deal of liquor In the country when it went dry, and it will be pretty hard to enforce the law completely until that is used up. The people who are trying to break the law are people who make money out of It and confirmed drunkards. The rest of the people accept it as the will of the great majority. “A man who has lived in New Zealand and has seen his own country has seen everything in the world,” said Mr. Boyce, regarding the Dominion's scenic attractions. “He may see higher mountains and bigger plains, but you hnve uch a wonderful variety of scenery that there is little need for a man to go anywhere else.” Government Offers Civil Service Jobs Two openings In Government service that will be of interest to residents of Indianapolis have been announced by Henry M. Trimpe, secretary of the civil service board, 421 Federal building. A general construction foreman is wanted for Ft. Benjamin Harrison at a salary ranging from $2,700 to 3.600 a year. The other position, for a clerk in the public health service, is open to women. Full particulars may be had from Mr. Trimpe. The Navy Department has announced an examination for the appointment of a lieutenant. Junior grade, civil engineer corps, U. S. N. Applications for preliminary test as to general fitness will be accepted until May 16. Information as to this examination may be obtained rrom the examining board, bureau of yards and docks, United States Navy Department, Washington, D. C.

The Truth About Indianapolis

FOUNDRIES TWENTY-NINE foundries in this city cast products each year with a retail value of about $8,000,000. Casting’s ranging from less than one pound in weight to more than five tons have been cast in these foundries, and give Indianapolis a high place in the foundry industry in the United States. Several trainloads of sand each year form the cores from which the castings are made. Indianapolis-made castings find their way to many foreign countries through automobiles, machinery, farm implements, furnaces, stoves, motor trucks, power equipment and metal products made in thi3 city and other cities in the United States and then exported. Marine turbines built from castings in Indianapolis sail the seven seas and castings in pumps are on duty in every climate. Three thousand men, skilled in this type of work, cast the iron for the foundry products.

Yon may be a better man at SO than the husky stripling of 2S If you take care of yourself and KEEP YOUR BLOOD FILLED WITH IRON. In an account of a severe mountain climbing test, a New York newspaper states that 20 per cent of those who accomplished the feat were 44 years and over.

LEAGUE FORMED FOR DISABLED MEN CENSURED American Legion Headquarters Gets Copy of Repudiating Statement. MANAGEMENT IS BLAMED / i Wholesale resignations of disabled men from the National Disabled Soldiers' League are indicated by a statement repudiating the organization made by sixty-sefen members in New York City, a copy of which has been received at national headquarters of the American Legion. Four hundred of the 650 New York City members were expected to desert the league within a week, according to Sidney A. Marks, formerly national vice commander, and Julius S. Berg, who served as New Y'ork State treasurer of the organization, who declared that mismanagement of the affairs of the league and failure of Its present officers to show the disposition of thousands of dollars collected for the relief of disabled soldiers, have resulted in the secession movement. The statement ask* that Governor Miller of New York revoke his designation of “Disabled Soldiers’ week,” which has been set for May 29 to June 5, and several petitions are in circulation demanding an investigation of the organization's affairs. The National Disabled Soldiers’ League was formed last August for the purpose of raising a fund to assist ex-service men who had been disabled in the war. Since that time large sums have been obtained, largely as a result of speeches of George II Gillen president of the national organization, who also is accused by Berg of opposing the passage of a national compensation bill by Congress.

Predict State-Wide Gasoline Price Drop Special to The Times. i LOGANSPORT, Ind., April 27.—A reduction in the price of gasoline and kerosene has already been placed in effect here.

HAS YOUR HOUSE WALL SILENCE? Don’t Know What It Is? Ross Crane, Lecturer, Will Tell Y r ou. - What Is a wait silence? No, it isn’t a riddle, a conundrum nor anything of the sort. It Is a perfectly legitimate question which anybody should be able to answer, provided he understands the principles of artistic home decoration. However, there Is no occasion to feel discouraged even If you don’t know the answer. There are several million others in the same boat, according to Ross Crane, head of the extension department of the Chicago Art Institute, and originator of the Better Homes Institute, who will lecture at Tomlinson Hall May 3,4, 5 and 6, under the auspices of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board. “A wall silence," explains Mr. Crane, “is a space on a wall unoccupied by a picture or other object.” , He adds that such a “silence” may be either good or evil, depending largely on its surroundings. If It tends to help balance .the general artistic effect of the room, by all means leave it alone, but if it gives the Impression of loneliness or isolation, something ought to be done. Just exactly what Is what Mr. Crane proposes to explain. “A work of art,” ha declares, “must never conceal a work of art. Never buy furniture you can afford, because It is going to last you a lifetime and you ought to buy something you ■will have to save up for. It Isn't like a suit of clothes that will last only part of a season. If you want your grandchildren to praise your taste, buy something they will like, but buy It because it Is the very thing you like yourself. If It is beautiful now, it will be beautiful then.” Getting back to the matter of wall silences again, Mr. Crane declares they should come in pairs. In other words, he maintains, a single wall silence is unpardonable from an artistic standpoint, because it Imparts a one sided look to the room. In his lecture, “Art vs. Aunt Matilda,” Mr. Crane takes up the problems of the average American home and illustrates his talk by furnishing a room before the eyes of his audience. lie starts with a hopeless Jumble of furnishings and by a vigorous process of elimination changes the scene from one of disorder and eon-

fusion to one of artistic beauty, winding up with a picture of the home ideal. This lecture will be given on the opening night. The practice of nslng the piano as a receptacle for photographs, vases and other bric-a-brac, the lecturer declares, Is a relic of the dark ages, and the time has passed, he adds, when a houseful of miscellaneous Junk was considered In good taste. He urges his hearers to get away from the “Junkshop” idea and promises to explain the simple rules of making a home artistic to all who are In tere^ted. Mr. Crane’s talks on the home beautiful are supplemented by those of Miss Evelyn D.
