RAILROADS Census Shows Feminine Workers in Transportation Service Growing in lumbers. WASHINGTON. July 30. Women wotkers now are flocking to the em ploy of the Nation's railroads. Nearly 100,000 women now are helping to build new lines and maintain and operate existing systems, a forthcoming report of the Interstate Commerce Commission is expected to show. Women constituted in 1320 nearly 3 per cent of the Nation's 2,000,000 railway employes, according to a census taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission. And the number is increasing daily. The commission now is preparing anew census of femnle railway workers for 1921. The 1920 census shows that women are going in for all kinds of rail work, heavy as well as light. They are cleaning engines aud headlights in round houses, keeping watch night as well as day at dangerous grade crossings, operaring telegraph k<-ys. carrying messages of train dispatchers, and even doing carpentery and other heavy work in the railroad shops. In some Jobs women, the railroads are j learning, are more efficient than mate workers. Lafayette Tire Firm Gets Large Order

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1921.

ORMAN TALKS OF AUTO SHo\y Association Manager Declares Prospects Look Fine. The twenty-third semi-annual fall automobile show of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association will be held lu conjunction with the Indiana State Fair, Sept. 5 to 10. The show will be held In the Manufacturers’ Building, which has undergone improvement since the spring show. The State Fair board has equipped the building with anew ventilating system, one operated by huge fans that keep fresh a'r constantly in circulation. The Manufacturers’ Building also i 8 being equipped with flag staffs that will carry the pennants of all the automobiles exhibited in the motor show. Although It is more than five weeks nutil the State fair, the reservation charts of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association show that more than GO per cent of the exhibit space has been applied for. The dealers, distributors and accessory firms recognize the State fair motor show as one that brings much new business, particularly from the rural communities. FARMERS NOW MOTOR WISE. The farmers of Indiana have become motor wise, for most of them own cars and they had sufficient experience to be shrewd and calculating buyers. The result is that the motor dealers and accessory men give double zeal to their efforts to meet the demands of the rural buyers. “it is a notable fact,” said John B. Orman. manager of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, “that the crowds attending the Indiana State Fair constitute the best buying brains in Indiana. The farmers, through their experience with gas engines, electricity and complicated farm machinery, have lecome expert mechanics, many of them taking spec al courses to get proper training. Therefore, when they go to buy an automobile, they make the dealer hustle to provide them with an tlie facts they want when they are car buying. It behooves the wise dealer to be 'loaded' with Information for them. CROWDS LIKE Al TO SHOW. “State fair crowds always like the automobile show. From 15,000 to 26.000 persons pass through our show aisles every day of the fair and they examine every exhibit carefully. That's why l say to the members of our association -get ready. "Here's another thing—pessimism is vanishing from the motor world. We are In the midst of good business now, ns every dealer will admit If he will present the plain facts. I have visited the three motor rows of Indianapolis and I want to say that the gloomy ones are few. I believe the fall motor show oi our asoelation is going to be one of the biggest, busiest ami best in our history.”

The Well Dressed Woman By GLORIA SWANSON, Star In I’nramount Pictures.

Os course there are coats, plenty of coats and coat wraps, also there seems to be a strong teudency to replace our much loved sweaters with informal gay little jackets for sports wear. Still, the shawl, the cape uud the shawl wrap are in the spotlight. I saw anew summer play last night, and one of the features was a charming bit of Spanish dancing, with two wonderful shawis very much in evidence. And, do you know, the audience began to clap and wax enthusiastic the moment they laid eyes on the first shawl. I'm sure it was the shawl, for the play is much too new and the part much too small to explain the outburst of handclapping on the theory of the dancer’s admirers, though she certainly deserves an enthusiastic coterie. No, I’m not going on to add that T went straight out this morning to hunt the counterpart of those shawls, though, goodness knows, it is hard enough to restrain myself when passing a window full. 1 am going to tell you about my new black canton crepe wrap for summer afternoons. To begin with, it is a cape but has evidently borrowed several points from the China made shawls, most noticeably the heavy silk fringe, which borders the points of its hem. Then It has a shawl collar of gray astrakhan, which is very popular tills summer, perhaps because it fits in so admirably with the gray schemes with which we begun the season, or because it is very practical and sane fur for summer wear, though we are not often sane or practical In the matter of our fashions. However, my new cape ie both, anil the Joy of my life beside,

Offers Tires as Tough as Meat He Once Sold Special to The Times. COLUMBUS, Ind., July 30—“ My tires are as lough as the meat I once sold you,” advertises Charles Lawson, of this city, who has closed his meat market and opened up an automobile tire store. He expresses hopes his old customers will remember the long mileage they got out of some of the steaks he sold them and think of him when they need products in ; which toughness is more desirable, i “iMy reputation for dealing In tough goods should be valuable to me in the new business,” he explains, remarking that after the experience of his former moat customers with his puncture-proof meats they would na- | turally come to him when in search . of something durable.

AMERICANS ON GREEK SHIP FRET Captain, to Meet Immigration Law, Delays Landing. NEW YORK, July 30.—Just outside the three mile limit, where cooling breezes blow and clinking glasses need never be empty, 130 American citizens, passengers aboard tbe Greek liner Megallhellas fumed and fretted and got themselves all hot under the collar today. To no effect. The skipper, wise to the new immigration law. Just won't bring his ship in until the first of the mouth. Greece had reached her quota of immigrants for July. But Captain Hyapis knows that If he can delay his arrival until Aug. 1. he can land all of his Greeks under the August quota. The American citizens among his passengers claim that this business of Greek meeting an emergency is all very well, tiut they want to go ashore. Wireless bombardment of Ellis Island and Washington lias proved futile. Authorities say it is up to the line. So Captain Hyapis swings in his hammock and lets t lie in rave. And the bar is open all day long. GLARE OF LIGHTS ACCIDENT CAUSE Bicycle Rider Injured When Struck by Auto. William Menning, 50 North Hamilton avenue, was Injured last night when he was struck by an automobile driven by James H. Snow. The accident occurred on Masaehnsetts avenue, near Arlington avenue. Menning was riding a bicycle southwest on Massachusetts avenue, and Snow was driving his car In the same direction. ' Snow told Sergeant Burk that an auto mobile approaching from the other direction failed to dim its Ughta and he was blinded by the glare of the light and did not see the man riding s bicycle. Menning, while badly injured, refused to go to a hospital and was taken to his home in the police emergency automobile. An automobile accident occurred at Capitol avenue and Pratt street. When Motorpollce Finney and Mueller arrived they found no person there, but an automobile that appeared as if It had been upset was standing In the street. The ear had license 2V12630, and the secretary of State's office record* show this license was issued Irvin L. Johnson, 706 Fletcher avenue The police did not learn if any person was injured.

AMENDMENTS PLAN LONGER OFFICE TERMS (Continued From Page One.) people, and that they should give frequent accounts of their stewardship. This was applied especially to legislators, a two years limit being fixed fur national representatives, mid generally for State representatives. Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi have lengthened the representative term to four years; but Massachusetts. New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island retain their ancient custom of a one year term. An unsuccessful attempt to Increase the term was made in the New York constitutional convention of l g !M; anil one of the opponents made the controlling argument in these words; "You take away the dread that the average member of the assembly has, that his constituents at home are watching his nets and will pass upon them at the coming election, and you will take away one of the greatest Incentives to right acting.” VIEW OF JACKSON. Between these two extremes lie the great body of administrative offices, as to which there are two main conflicting views. One may lie called the civil service idea, that the Important thing is to have officers who understand the duties of their offices; and it always takes some time for anew official to learn them. The other Is the Jacksonian doctrine of “rotation in office,” which is perhaps best expressed in the following words of President Jackson, himself: “There are, perhaps, few men who can for any length of time, enjoy office and power without being more or less under tlie influence of feelings unfavorable to tho faithful discharge of their public duties. Their Integrity may be proof against improper considerations immediately addressed to themselves, but they are apt to acquire a habit of looking with indifference upon the public Interests and of tolerating conduct from which an unpractieed man would revolt. Office is considered ns a species of property, and government rather as a means of lu-. muting individual interests than ns an instrument created solely for the service of the people. Corruption in some and in others a perversion of correct feelings and principles divert government from its legitimate ends and make it an engine for the suppore of the few at the expense of the many. The duties of all public offices are. or at least ad-

Acid stomach causes awful misery which Eatonic quickly gets rid of by taking up and carrying out the acidity and gases which prevent good digestion. A tablet taken after meala brings quick relief. Keeps the stomach healthy and helps to prevent toe many ilia so liable to arise from excess acid.

Old L. E.&W. Freight House, Landmark, to Go

. ■ • . ,* , , ■■ ■ . . * mi— —d

Old L. E. & W. Freight Office.

Modern progress, the elevating of the railroad tracks in the downtown district, will cause the disappearance of one of the oldest landmarks of the city, the Lake Erie & Western freight office. Today is moving day. On Aug. 1, the present L. E. & W. freight house will have, been abandoned, and the C., C., C. & St. L (Big Four) Railroad will take over and perform all freight house and city yard team track work of the Lake Erie & Western Railroad. The present office building of the L. E. & W. Railroad hns been used as a freight office by railroads for more than fifty years It Is located on the east side of South Alabama street, and from the front door and windows a view looking westward on Maryland street may be bad. The new location of the L. E. & W. freight offices will be at Delaware and South streets, in the same offices as the Big Four freight depot offices. All less than ear load freight, botti in and outbound, will be handled through the Big Four freight house. Mr. T. A Connor, freight agent of the Big Four railroad, will after Aug. 1 represent the take Erie A Western in that capacity.

mit of being made, so plain and simple that men of intelligence may readily qualify themselves for their perfotmance; and I cannot but believe that more is lost by the tong continuance of men in office than is generally to lie gained from their experience.” GOOD BEHAVIOR WINS RENOMINATION. It will probably be commonly conceded that officials are usually not lacking in independence, so far ns the public is concerned. On the other hand, fherp is a very common understanding in Indiana that two year officials are entitled to renominntlon. and they usually get it unless they have been specially obnoxious. But renomination depends more on the favor of political bosses than on popular favor, for they can usually defeat anybody by bringing out a strong candidate against him. Four year terms would do away wit i this dependence, and at least allow the officials to devote the time to his duiies that he uses in working for renomination. Dn the whole, the prepon derance of reason would seem to be In favor of four year offices: but it is a twosided question, and not a matter of life or death in any event. There is an impression more or less prevalent that these changes would do away with biennial elections. If that were correct it would present a substau tial argument for these amendments, but it is not correct. We would still have to elect legislators every two years, and also occasional supreme judges, whose terms are six ypars These might be disposed of by additional constitutional amendments, but we should still have to hold elections every two years for representatives in Congress: so we are hopelessly tied to biennial elections. In this connection, it -nay b mentioned that there is a practical consensus of opinion that we could improve our courts by making Judges appointive; at least that is the opinion of those who have made nny study of the question. Our Federal Judletary Is appointive. and everybody is familiar with its high rank. Holding office for life, or good behavior, gives the judges real Independence; but once in a while It makes one arbitrary and offensive in manner. Os the State eotirts. none ranks higher than that of Massathusetls. and Us Judges are appointive, hut with powers both of impeachment and Tcnll in tho I/eglslature. The term is for life. The power of Legislative recall is deserving of greater consideration than it usually receives from reformers. Impeachment is a remedy of last resort, because It is equivalent to criminal indictment and conviction; and no right-minded American would favor impeachment of a Judge for anything less than crime. But a Judge may he completely Incapacitated by mentul failure, when there is no way to get rid of him except by impeachment or an insanity Inquest. There used to be occasional eases of judicial Incapacity from drunkenness, but prohibition appears to have disposed of that, although the large amounts of confiscated liquor in the hands of court officials might be thought to hold out special temptations.

L. L. Hyde, general freight agent of the L. E. & W., explains, however, that this does not mean a consolidation of the Lake Erie & Western Interests with those of the Big Four, hut only that the business of the T.ake Erie & Western Kailroad. insofar as the accounting and other detail station matters are concerned, will be handled by the joint agency. The office of L. L. Fellows, general agent, L. E. & W. railroad, 212 Saks building, will continue us formerly. With the moving of the L. E. & W. freight offices of course comes changes. W. L. Werts, local freight agent for the L. E. & W., who has held th.it position j for three and a half years in Indianapolis, [ will be transferred to Kokomo, where he was local freight agent four years be- ! fore being assigned to duty in this city L. R. O Haver, chief clerk, at the L. E. I & W. freight office, an dother members | of the clerical force of that office will j transfer their desks to the Big Four freight office building at South and Delai ware street, CITY’S OLDEST FREIGHT BUILDING. The Lake Erie & Western freight office building is the oldest building used for that purpose in the city of Indianapolis. and one of the oldest in the State. ; For more than a bait century the building has been used by various railroads, i It is a two story brick building, somewhat resembling a residence of the type built many years ago. At one time the t general offices of the old Wabash Rail- ' road occupied one part of the building and the other part was occupied by the Monon Railroad offices. Those were tne days when the Jay Gould interests eoni trolled what was then tho Indianapolis & Michigan City division of the Wabash. Before that time the old I. T. & C. Railroad, in which tbe late Volney T. Mal- ! lott was interested, used the building as a freight office. There are eight rooms in the old brick building. Four are on the first floor and four on the second floor. Bestdes these rooms there are two heavy steel-lined vaults with walls almost three feet thick 1 These vaults have two sets of doubla i steel doors. One vault is on tho first floor and the other on the second floor. VAULTS ARE BIG AS ROOMS. The vaults are as large as most rooms ;In a modern home. In these vaults the ; records are kept. The modern heating plants have never found a place in the : old freight office.

GLANDS DIRECT WILL AND MIND Amazing Contention Advanced at National Osteopathic Convention. Special to The Times. CLEVELAND, July 30.—Psychological standards were upset in the National Osteopathic convention here today, when Dr. Ernest E. Tucker, the New Y'ork endocrinologist, declared flat-footedly that "personality Is more a matter of ductless glands than ot education.” “Such an interpretation would not be so far illogical as it seems,” said the speaker, "however far it may be from current concepts. Are our thoughts mere tennis balls, volleyed back and forth between the external world and the ductless glands? The tennis net represents the technique of brain function. “Psychologically, the brain is the least important part of the body and the pituitary body (one of the ductless glands) is by far more important. The mental function of the will is dependent upon the adrienal gland, which is located on the kidney; the mind is dependent upon tho thyroid, and the intellect upon the pituitary. The mind really then is the action of the body rather than of the brain. The body is represented by these glands. All modern sciences are beginning to be affected by these amazing new facts relative to the endoorines or ductless glands. “Perfect intelligence requires perfect order of the body framework and body mechanism in order to produce the normal output from these ductless glands. Osteopathic adjustment removes mechanical Interferences, which irritate these glands and make them secrete too much or which dam the flow of secretion. “Should we advocate a return to the Greek civilization of the clasic period, to the Greek ideal of a broader consideration of the body ns the foundation for education and culture, but with this vital addition, that it be based upon understanding of tho body rather than mere control of it? Could not the osteopathic profession make its greatest contribution by popularizing the knowledge of the body as the beginning of all art, as the summary of ail science, as the essential foundation of all considerations of health, efficiency, longevity, happiness and Intellection?”
