Twelve hundred men from the sth Army Corps area, whieh consists of the States of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wcat Virginia, will report to Camp Knox. Kentucky, today for a four weeks' course in elementary military training. The majority of the Indianapolis contingent of forty-nine men left on the special train which the Pennsylvania railroad Is running directly to '.'amp Knox at 11:20 a. m. The train to Camp Knox goes via. Franklin, Columbus and Seymour and Louisville, n the cainp at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. DIVIDED INTO THREE CLASSES. The student soldiers will be divided Into three groups, to be known as the Red, White and Blue clas-es. The men taking the R?d course will drill In the ranks, those in the White class will act ms non-eomralsisonered officers, and the men In the Blue group, which will consist of the men who have had previous military training, will be officers. At completion of the camp, certificates will be awarded to the students. A Red certificate will signify that the Red course has been successfully completed. The Blue 'eertifi-ate shows that the man is eligible to appointment as a non-commissioned officer of the organized reserves of the Army of the United States. The men who successfully finish the Blue course are qualified to receive commissions in the Officers' Reserve Corps. Four hundred men are attending the camp.

Ml CH TIME ON RIFLE RANGE. As one of the essentials of an efficient, organized military bocy Is the marksmanship of Us members, more time will be devoted to the nomenclature of the rifle, gallery practice, and firing on the range than to any other brach of instruction. Twenty-five per cent of the periods of Instruction will be in rifle marksmanship and small arms. Other subjects which will be taught are: Infantry drill. Including scouting and reconnaissance; guard duty, camping and marching, care of equipment, personal hygiene, military courtesy, and physical training. A minimum of one and onehalf hours each day will be devoted to physical instruction, boxing, and company game*. Students will-not have to perform regular Interior guard duty at Camp Knox as a garrison of regular troops Is maintained there. This garrison consists of the 2nd. 81st, and B'ird Field Artillery regiments ot the btb Field Artillery Brigade and an aero squadron, a balloon company, a ■chooi for cooks and bakers, an ordnance repair company, and a basic school for artillery officers. Demonstrations or these respective organizations will be conducted in order that the student may have tome conception of the uses of the different arms of the service. At the epd of the camp, manuevers and sh3m battles will be held for three (lays. Daring the camp many prominent men will address the students.

Packers Have Right to Ship Groceries, Too WASHINGTON. July 2L—Th. Intorstaf Commtr-f Commission todsy ruled the big Chicago pa-k*>rs are "within their rights in shipping groceries as well as meat in their own refrigerator cars. The ruling was interpreted as a denial of the complaint of the National Wholetale Grocers’ Association. The grocers charged the big packers, through the practice of including groceries in the refrigerator cars, obtained an unfair advantage in the rale and distribution of their products.

SYDNEY, NEW SOI Tn WALES, AUSTRALIA. —We feel at home In Syd ney, capital of the State of New Sou h Wales, Australia, and the largest City, as well ss the most important of the commonwealth. It is the most nearly American city we have seen. It is about the size of Boston or St. Louis, with a population of 800,000, the same population Chicago had when I went there, and it Is about as far south of the equator as Memphis is north, but its temperature averages four decrees cooler in the summer months. Only six cities of the Brit ish empire are larger—London, Calcutta, Bombay. Glasgow. Liverpool and Manchester—and south of the equator Jhera are only two other cities —Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina—which are larger. Our first glimpse of the city was from the deck of a steamer as It passed through the heads which guard the en trance to Ft. Jaekson, and I can well imagine the satisfaction of Capt. James Cook, in 1770, when the magnificence and beauty of the harbor burst upon him Man has modernized both sides of this wonderful port, and its score, of bays, coves and inlets, but he has not spoiled its attractiveness. About the first ques tlon that a Sydneyite asks you Is, “What do you think of our harbor?’’ and it re quires neither courtesy nor flattery to answer in words that gratify him. Ilio, San Francisco, Nagasaki and Naples alone can claim harbors equal in beauty to that of Sydney.

Numerous isiets, marked by lighthouses or signal stations, dot the waters outside the channel from the heads to the wharves, a distance of some six or seven miles. One of these. Ft. Denison, is the site of an obsolete fort which was built In a panic In 1839, when the authorities of the then convict colony awjke one morning to find that two American men ofwnr had successfully passed the heads of the port during the night and were placidly anchored in the stream. The Islet was cut down to a flat abofat twenty feet above the water and guns mounted to command the channel. A caretaker still maintains lonely vigil over the ancient cannon and the ruins of four solitary stone cells whic h were used in those days for stubborn crlsoners. MOVEMENT AND LIFE ABOUND IN HARBOR. Everywhere, coming up the harbor, there Is movement artd life. Up-to-date ferryboats are scurrying back and forth between the city and Its beautiful suburbs across the bays, along the shores of the coves and inlets. Sailing ships and steamers of all sizes and descriptions and from many ports are anchored in the stream or tied up at the wharves. Sydney is a port of call for about '’.500 vessels of all descriptions each yenr, making it one of chief ports of the wt rid. A skyline of buildings eight, nln or ten stories high, rising from the grounds surrounding the bay. greets the eye, and sandwiched in between their walls are the roofs of much lower structures. Lrter. from a hotel room high above the stieet. I was to discover that Sydney is a *lty of corrugated iron roofs, the monot my being brt ken by more modern roofs of slate or tile on the recently put-up structures. Circular Quay, at which the ferries era verge, is the principal artery of the city’s life. It is there that the thousands who work in the city, but live in the seaside and other suburbs, come and go. and to it lead the main streets of the downtown business section. I know some American city planners who would throw up their hands in despair over Sydney. No engineer with transit and lev.l laid out bet streets.

TRAFFIC DESPAIR OF AMERICAN COP. An American traffic cop would forfeit all chance* of entering the pearly gates if h had a Job In Sydney. Motors, street cars, hansoms and pedestrians, who look neither to right nor left, make a swirl In Sydney's streets that It takes a genius to handle. I glow with admiration when I see a Sydney traffic policeman upon his corner, tall, commanding, inscrutable and silent, unhurried by the throng, and controlling It by a simple crook of the finger that carries far more weight than the club of authority and the loud voice of the cop of Chicago or New York. What would not one of those men do to a motor driver who dashed

The Sydney policeman is a member of the State police fore£. He has had his training, most likely, in Ahe out places of the bush country and he has developed a presence and a dignity that splendidly upholds the traditions of seventy-five year*. For the New South Wales police were organized in the days of the bushranger and the outlaw, and the men who wore the uniform then laid down precedents that also mark the Royal Northwest Mounted l'oliee of Canada, the State Constabulary of Pennsylvania, or the KaugcCs of Texas. I have yet to see one of them lose his bead or become flurried or excited or wield a nasty tongue. let, when an emergency arfscs he is on the job—swiftly, quietly und efficiently. Close to Circular Quay is the stately government house in which resides the goternar, appointed by the British crown and vested with the right of veto (which he seldom exerci**si over the acts of the premier and cabinet. The entrance to the palace is on McQtiarrle street, named in honor of the wise and t enevolont old governor of convict days, who used the labor of his prisoners to construct the parliament and other buildings along the street, which still are in use. McQtiarrle street Is wide aud abuts on parks and parkways. It i* one of the few wide thoroughfares which wa* made ao without the expenditure of large amounts In buying up adjoining property an I razing buildings la order that, the street might bo widened. TWO MAIN STREETS ALSO LEAD FROM QUAY. King street and Pitt street also start at Circular Quay and extend across the entire downtown business section. They are lined with office buildings and stores that compare most favorably with our large city shop*. It was Eustcr week that we found ourselves in Sydney at one time, and the window decoration* and exhibits of the stores were carried out in a masterful style. Easter week, by the way, is the big week of the year In Sydney. Primarily, the occasion it the annual New South Wales Agricultural Show, which attracts farmers and their families by the thousands from all over the Stnti. Secondly, it Is fashion week aud the store* do a rushing business. I went out to the

vous strain, grief or too much crfMtement your blood has become impoverished and your nerve force exhausted, you will find that a short course of Nuxated iron will often produce most surprising results. It has been used and highly endorsed by former United States Senntors, Members of Congress, Judges of of United States Courts and many prominent people: even Rome having highly endorsed its use. It is now being used by over 4,000,000 people annually.

agricultural show ground and all along the route I saw carnival companies and sideshows and amusement devices, and everything revealed a great similarity to the State fairs of Missouri or Kansas or lowa—typical agricultural States of our own country. The Royal Agricultural Show, as It is officially termed, Is a powerful magnet to the country folk of New South Wales. In order to be sure of hotel accommodations, reservations are made weeks, sometimes mouths, in advance. The show is the one great relaxation of the year for many of those who live ‘‘out back,*’ and a week in Sydney In Easter makes bearable for many of them the loneliness of life in the country sections, to which good roads, telephones, electric lights and other comforts have not yet been extended. I was studying a map of Sydney streets In order to find a small cross street where a friend had his office, and toe diagram reminded me of nothing so much as one of those mystic maze puzI zles which are published In some newspapers with prizes for those who can start from a given point and trace their way down through the highways and byways. In Sydney the,/Short streets come Into the long ones at all sorts of angles arid change names without the slightest warning at even the slightest ot turns. My son Ben spent a good hour trying to locate one place right downtown within a few blocks of our hotel, and fi: ally discovered chat it was a side street that had the same name as a main street which runs at right angles to it. All of us found that If'we wanted to go anywhere with a minimum of trouble the best way was to get aboard one of the very excellent street cars, which are operated by the State.

FIRST HORSE CARS INSTITUTED IN 1862. The history of public transportation service in Sydney is an amusing one. | The first street cars were horse-drawn I affairs, instituted in 1862. Four years j later the rails were pulled up because j It was regarded as an Infringement on I the right of the people to have to turn | out of the road for a street car. In j 1879 an exhibition was being neld lu | Sydney, and the promoters, by a ruse, ; laid a line to the fair grounds. They | announced that the tracks tvere to be | temporary, that the cars were merely ! to help those who did not own horses Ito get to the fair. Old files of the newsi papers reveal that the effort to get the rails torn up again were worthy of a i better object, but they stayed and became the nucleus of the present electric | system of 115 miles, over which 950,UW ! passengers are carried daily. Electric- I ity came, however, after ears pulled by : diminutive steam engines bad been displaced by cable cars. Peculiarly enough, the street ear serv- | ices of Sydney and Melbourne —something that does not strike me as having any j earthly connections—are a continual j bone of contention In the rivalry between I the cities. The argument as to whether 1 Sydney's electric cars are faster than j Melbourne's cable cars is unending It reminds me of the story of an Alaskan ; lumber camp, where all winter there was a bitter argument ns to whether a bullet fired sfraighi up into the air would re j turn to earth ns rapidly as it left It. There wasn't any way of proving H, ; and it would have done no good to have settled the question Yet someone was always reviving the question.

wild animals are kept under conditions resembling their native haunts so far as human skill can duplicate nature. BOTANICAL GARDENS ANOTHER BEAUTY SPOT. Botanical gardens Is another beauty spot of the city. Originally It was the site of the plot of ground upon which the convicts of other days raised the vegetables to feed thesmselves. Even then the authorities realized that the people of the future would need breathing spaces and set aside the garden for park j purposes. So today, where once the pris- : oners raised cabbages and potatoes and peas, their free successors rest and have j their recreation, and beautiful flowers • and stately trees. The people of Sydney probably make ’ up the most conmopolitan population in j Australia. Races which now are pre- 1 vented from coming into the country as < a result, of the “White Australia" policy, rub elbows with peoples from all the white countries of the globe. Sydney has Its Chinatown, too, where these unwanted people of the yellow race live to them- ! selves. You see an occasional Chinese uptown or driving his vegetable wagon down the street, but he passes on about his business quietly and quickly. BlaCk people are a rarity. A few of the native black fellows, an occasional British subJeet from some of the island possessions;" an islander from the south seas ,may pass you on the street, but mostly you see white people—Australians, New Zea landers, English, Irish. Scotch, and quite a few Americans, with other Europeans In less numbers. Asa rule the newcomers congregate in the cities, and Sydney, like New York, probably catches more of them than any other city. Forty-three per cent of the population of New South Wales lives in Sydney and in its suburbs In the proportion of 4,000 to a square mile. Out in the sheep lands the proportion is around two persons to the square mile, if the concentration of the population of the state continues in the cities at its present rate, Sydney will face a serious problem by becoming far too big and unwieldly unless Australia's rural population increases by leaps and bounds. CITY OF SYDNEY RACING MAD. f Sydney Is racing mad. Every day there is horse-racing somewhere near the city at one of the numerous tracks. The ponies are always a subject of conversation. Certainly no country In the world caters more to Its racing public than Australia. At Randwick race course crowds of one hundred thousand are hauI died most efficiently on the days when 'noted are run. The "totalizator,” that machine which handles wagering so well on the percentage system, is increasingly popular in Sydney, while an army of bookmakers wax fat and pros- ! perous on the money which Is bet with I them. Racing is under suspicion in ! Australia because there are so many i crooked races, hnt It is doubtful If It i will be wiped out, as was done in all j but a few of our States. The Australian ! people are lovers of the horse and outdoor*. Near Randwick are the great municipal playing fields, where In season, , cricket and football attract enormous t crowds. Tennis, too. Is a popular sport, as was shown by the attendance at the

matches in which the American tennis stars participated this year. To know bow to swim is almost s fetish with the Australians, and no place In the commonwealth are there more devotees than In Sydney. Its many seaside resort 6 are exceedingly popular, and swimming, riding the breakers and diving are possible the greater portion of the year. There never are unsold tickets for the swimming matches at the indoor swimming tanks. Championships of ell kinds are swum off in Sydney, and the Americans, Ethelda Bleibtrey, and I.udy Langer, and Pua Kealoha, the Hawaiian, became almost as great idols of the public as are Fannie Durack, who retired as undefeated champion, and Minna Wylie, the best of Australian girl swimmers, and Frank Beaurapaire, who is holder of several championships. Boxing is another sport which has a hold on Sydneyites. In years gone by Australia produced some of the world’s greatest fighters, and today the art of the squared ring still is popular. Ben, my son, who is up on the game, tells me, however, that the fighters from Europe and the United States who were creating a furore In Sydney during our visit were at best second-raters and not names to conjure with in America. NIGHT LIFE OF SYDNEY COLORFUL. _ Sydney night life Is the most colorful, the most vivid, of all the commonwealth. Its streets are thronged until midnight, and not even the turning out of the shop window lights \t 10 o’clo k serves to send the crowds home. Theaters, cases, entertainments of all kinds, the beaches, amusement resorts, and so on 1 lure the Sydneyite like a candle does the j moth. After midnight the street cars ' run hourly service only and the last regi ular cars to the suburbs, the last boats ; across the bay, the last suburban trains carry thousands. I “I don't know what Sydney folk use I their homes for except to sleep in and • get an occasional meal," said an observiing newspaper man to me. "like the I people of your own American big cities, i they like the bright lights.” | Yet there are corners of Sydney where the bright lights do not shine. Its slums are congested, the homes of thefpoor are rickety places, the streets are the playgrounds of the children, and dirt and vice—the ever present companions in slums all over the worts —are found in abundance. Also, the derelicts from this part of the world make Sydney their abiding place. They haunt the dorks an.l wharves and back streets and sleep In the parks or caves in the rocky cliffs of the beach. They use old papers to wrap their limbs and bodies when the nights are chilly, or toss in restless discomfort on the grass. Somewhere I heard someone refer to Sydney as the city of “sun and sin.” It i Is not to be denied that Sydney Is fast, that its downtown streets are the haunts j of painted women, that drinking to ex- | cess 1* carried on more there than In any : other big Australian city. But it Is | hard to find any city similarly situated i that Is not likewise, aud Sydney is not any different In the long run from other cities of Us size. And I like Sydney. Its people are ! genial and hospitable. They step along | with more of a hustle than elsewhere in Australasia, but they are not too busy

Two men and one woman, arrested oB charges of operating a blind tiger several days ago, were heavily fined in city court late yesterday by Remster Bingham, judge pro tern., and Special Judge Ralph Spann. Clara Cochran, 100(5 South East street, arrested by Lieutenant Houston and Federal officers on July 13, was fined SIOO and costs. The officers said they found fifty-four quarts of home-made beer in her home and a sack of empty bottles in a barrel in the rear of her home. Joe Refkin, living in South Capitol avenue, arrested July 2 by Patrolman Conway, was fined STOO and costs and sentenced to thirty days on the Indiana State Farm. Refkin was arrested at Plum and Pearl streets carrying a suitcase containing a gallon of "white mule” whisky. Claude Parker, negro, 542 North Senate avenue, arrested in his home by Lieutenant Houston, Sergt. Cliff Richter and squad on July 12, was fined SIOO and costs and sentenced to thirty days on the Indiana State Farm by Special Judge Ralph Spann. The officers said they found fourteen half-pints of “white mule ’ in a suitcase and thirty empty whisky bottles in this home. RURAL CREDITS ASS’N IS BOUGHT Portland Company Pays $913,300 for Interests. Control of the Indiana Rural Credit Association, a $1,000,000 corporation of this city, has been purchased by the Hawkins Mortgage Company of Portland, Ind., and its subsidiary, the Welfare Loan Society, the latter being the Indianapolis branch of the Hawkins company and only recently organized.
