LIEBER APPEAL FOR DUNES GETS , TO IND. EDITORS . Backer of Park Idea Tells Hoosier Scribes Advantage of Plan. ON GREAT AUTO ROUTE (By Staff Correspondent.) WITH THE REPUBLICAN EDITORS IT? LAKE COUNTY, July 29.—The editor® this afternoon forgot partisanship and politic® a® they wandered amid the done® and gazed upon the blue warters of Lake Michigan—the scene of the proposed Dune Park of Indiana. They gave rapt attention, as Richard Lieber, who conceived the Dune Park Idea, talked to them of the advantages of having the historic mounds to posterity. "Much has boon said for the desirability of preserving the rand dunes is some form or other,” csid Mr. Lieber. "Ths United States Government likely will not take them over because there Is na legal precedent; all other parks eithrr having been cut out of the public domain or presented to the Government. UP TO STATE TO BUT DUNES. “It is plainly, therefore, the duty of tiie State to rescue this land of unsurpassed beauty and protect it for all time to come. Teachers and preachers, nature lover® and artists, social welfare worker* and other visionaries and wholly impractical people in season and out of season have worked for the preservation of the dune land, while eminently practical men have In the meantime been bnslly at work removing whole hillside® of sand for the purpose of track elevation and for cash. During this time the great mass of people has indolently looked on. “Why should the dunes oe saved? There are many reasons why they should. According to scientists our own Indiana Band dunes are the finest In the world. They are the most accessible dunes; they possess extremely Interesting fanna and flora; offer unparalleled opportunities to oh serve the action of wind and Us Influence on the sand and plant life The Lake Michigan beech is benntiful and offers bathing facilities to a multitude; recreational uses are unlimited. The dunes are poetic, they are beautiful, th y are wonderful: they ere Just about th most beautiful and wonderful thing we b*ve In the Mid west. They are the •nly free access to Lake Michigan left to the people. To choose from, there are fifteen ml.es of broad, clean, safe to furnish bathing facilities to thor.so.ndards of people at the same lnst.int. ißnt how much longer will they be available?* Fishing In Lake Michigan off the dur.es Shore Is excellent. There are hundreds of good camp sites beach and back In the dunes “The dunes are the only outlet for the peonle of Chicago and Indiana on Lake jdichlgan. They are the one big and last opportunity to furnish recreational outdoors for the millions of Chicago and northern Indiana Industrial centers. Their health value is enormous. Millions of people are limited to two weeks vacation and with little money to spend Two weeks spett In the open air of the dunes, away from the city, means a complete rejuvenation. Here the great numbers of foreign born laborers of the region may see and be taught what the primitive America was. It will give anew sense of proprietorship not only to the recent immigration but to the children that are to the manor bom. and by establishing this grr r common playground of the people we will make a center for the getting together and'the unifying of tQe cosmopolitan people of the world gathered together in this international citizenship such as nothing °lse can accomplish The present generation^needs

It. the Industrial centers of the region are growing rapidly and future generations are going to need them more. “Unlike other National parks. It is not only highly accessible but it is accessible the year around, being as attractive In winter as In summer. OX DETROIT TO CHICAGO TRAIL. “There is a well-defined trail leading from Detroit to Chicago through the very territory we hope to see set aside as a public domain. Traders and trappers, Indians and white men, soldiers and adventurers, missionaries and enterprising merchants traversed the district It connected over 100 years ago the stronghold on Luke Erie with the fighting oufcpcst on Lake Michigan as today it connects the fourth largest city with the second largest city In the United States, and passes through that State which for many decades has held the center of population. “You may argue against saving the dunes because of its wealth of flowers, birds, trees and scenery that should be saved although I doubt that you could, but one thing I am sure that 1 could never be persuaded or forced to change my determined view of saving the dunes; because they are the one last impressive and stately remnant of the days long gone by. They are the last token in its original condition of colonial and revolutionary days. With their broad outlook over the majestic Michigan they are the last remnant of time and space over which the procession of that grand cultural pageant of grandiose American em terprise has swept. Like unto the last of the Mohicans, the region is standing an undaunted and unperturbed guard over the rest of that which once upon a time—was. "The people of the Middle West, and especially of Indiana, owe It to themselves to call a halt and to set aside forever as a sanctuary for all time to come, as a tribute to the days gone by. this wonderful land which has seen and heard and participated in so much that in their fulfilment we call the advantages of the twentieth century. And at that it would be nothing else but providing a social safety valve in a district that needs this precautionary appliance so Imperatively. "We are talking a great deal about Americanization and Americanism. Why don't we Americanize when we have the opportunity? Here is tho most wonderful chance to do constructive work. “The frontage may so be selected that industrial or municipal expansion will not be interfered with, but in this place I want to raise a warning voice aginst those who wish to see the entire shore line exploited for speculative or industrial purposes. I therefore, repeat: Industrial expansion will not be interfered with by the park, but the life of industry, let alone the expansion thereof, might suffer grievously without that so, cial safety valve, as which < havo described the park. “To acquire this territory takes legal power and cash. The legal power wo hav and the cash we propose to get. but the State must do its dutey. The department of conservation is not only willing but proud to assist. We do not ask that the entire cost be borne out of the general fund of the State. We do a>k that the next Legislature, for the purposes aforementioned, set aside a sum of SI. (XD.OOO upon the contingency that through private efforts at least a like sum be raised and put at the disposal of the department of conservation. If the project is accomplished the sum total of human happiness and satisfaction will have bean greatly Increased. Civilized governments are distinguished by the degree of interest they take in problems of this nature.” NIGHTIE HIDES lIOOTCH. BOSTON, July 29.—Because his night shirt looked like a young tent. Jacob Siadkewlch was . searched, and beneath the robe was found some illegal liquor. The police had entered the house searching for .contraband "hootch.” They vvere about to depart empty handed, when they noticed that Jacob's “nightie” looked extra large. Jacob pleaded guilty in Ea~r Boston Court and was fined S3O.

BILLION LOST ANNUALLY BY METALTRADES Hoover Committee Lays Waste to Idle Men and Machinery. NEW YORK, July 29.—A billion dollars a year Is lost in the metal trades Industry owing to idle men and machinery. according to a report of the Hoover committee on elimination of waste in industry of the American Engineering Council. Issued today. This estimate does not include the value of materials that would be utilized if the productivity of labor were Increased. The metal trades Industry Is operating as a whole at only about CO per cent of normal output, the report states. It Is the largest manufacturing industry in the United States and gives employment to 2.000,000 workers. The value of increased production, even in normal times, would be more than $500,000,000. Instability of labor employment and faulty management are given as the major causes of waste and nonproiiuction. The average yearly waste due to avoidable labor turnovers is about $100,000,000, according to the committee. “We find an aggregate of two million workers annually 'separated' and rehired elsewhere.” the report says. The investigation is part of a general report of a committee on its national survey of Industrials wastes and wasln charge of Fred J. Miller of New York, former president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and William B. Ferguson of Philadelphia. The committee found that the major cause 't waste was “unemployment of available labor and equipment due to general business conditions which affect other industries.” FINDS VALUE IN COMPLAINTS Herbert A. Smith Talks Before Advertising Club. That tactful, courteous consideration of complaints can be made the means of bringing buyer and seUcr into more friendly and closer relationship was shown by Ilcroert A. Smith of Eli Lilly & Cos. in bt talk on “Turning Complaints Tnto t.Tiers” at the weekly luncheon of the Ad ertising Club of Indianapolis. on the seventh floor of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce building yesterday. “We believe,” he said, "that it is an advantage to have complaints come directly to u It not only relieves the wholesaler who is our customer, but it gives us a good opp.-tunity to get In touch with the trade and make friends with the retailer. “After all. what is a complaint? To us. it is a signal whose warning or message we are eager to investigate. In adjusting a complaint, we try to keep four things in tnir.d: That we must act promptly: that we must express the high-st courtesy: that wo must retain or estableshed confidence: that we must educate the trade.” The Advertising Club, by the way. is breaking al! attendance records for summer meetings—there was another big turnout yesterday. rEEFEtT A HERO.

RHINE TROOPS START INQUIRY Borah and Johnson Want to Know When Americans Will Return. WASHINGTON. July 29.—Inquiry as to why American troops are being kept In Germany at a cost of virtually $1,000,000 a month will be made in the Senate within the next few days. The Inquiry will be along these lines: Why are the troops not brought home, now that peace with Germany has been reestablished? When will they be brought home? What steps are being taken, or will be taken to obtain from Germany the $240,000,000 now overdue for support of the American Army of Occupation? Senator Borah said he would seize his earliest opportunity to discuss the question in a speech. Senator Johnson, California, is expected to follow Borah's lead.

Its A Great Life, ButA Trifle Difficult to Live Through It Every five minutes of the day somewhere in the United States, a man, woman or child is killed in an accident. Every other minute in the day twenty-one persons somewhere, somehow, are accidentally injured. Your chances of being killed in an accident are twice as good as your chances of dying of old age. The above statistics compiled by John J. Crowley, who, during the war, was commissioned by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to establish a department to indemnify against accident, men of the army and navy.
