SHANK ought not to object to personalities In this campaign- It vas personality that won him the nomination! FRANK WAMPLER, head of the telephone company, always was an optimistic gentleman! CANDIDATE Shank believes in fewer arrests, doubtless on the theory that Jim Collins’ nationally noted probation system is overworked! THE GOVERNMENT reports that Indiana has 80,810 negroes among its population. A considerable part of them are on the public pay roll in Marion County! OF COURSE the Janitor who supported Mr. Thomas C. Howe for the Republican nomination for mayor was a better janitor than the one who supported Lew Shank! THERE ISN’T sufficient uncertainty about the money market to excuse further delay of the swimming pools promised annually for three years by the park board,- however. WE CAN UNDERSTAND how a man might stand on a street corner and not see. one of Jim Tretton’s street cars but it is more difficult to explain how it was possible to fail to bear it! FOR THE REASON that it is sometimes easier to control an appointment than a nelection, it is not hard to understand why certain interests wish the State superintendent of instruction appointed. Let the Taxpayer Do It! It is very difficult, if not impossible, for one whose investments and commercial activities are tied up in corporations, to appreciate the standpoint of the health offioers, government doctors and Surgeon General of the United States, regarding the alleged famine or plague in the South. A short time ago official announcement of pellagra and famine startled the United States. Denials were made in Congress and in various Slat* capitals and it now developes that a sentence in the report was omitted, wrhich said the situation was no more serious than in previous years. But the health officers nevertheless urge “A w'ell trained, alltime health officer and public health nurses, to carry the leadership which will insure longer, happier and more productive lives to all the people.” Recently the Federal Senate appropriated over a million dollars for a maternity measure, to employ people to instruct prospective mothers in the care of themselves and infants, which funds, a mere million, could be used when the various States gave sufficiently more. The measure is up to the House of Representatives and there are several similar bills pending, all of which appropriate mon->y to meet personal conditions. The corporation which pays State and Federal taxes assists in meeting these expenditures. Exceedingly few are bothered with maternity problems. The large industries, railroads, banks, and in fact everything that pays heavy taxes but the individual can only get a very indirect return, if any, at all. And the person who is expected to hire a physician or a nurse, when sick, pays little or nothin'/ and gets all the benefit. It is sought In the new State Constitution Amendment on w_ 'eh votes will he cast September 6rn, to permit tie Legislature to adopt any system of taxation without any limitation on the Legislature- If it carries, perhaps the railroads can be made to pay maternity fees at hospitals. It surely would not be a long step from the way corporations are now mulct to defray nurse and medical expense for someone else. Measures of this kind, however, do not well associate with corporate matters.

Our Volcano! Stay at home vacationists and mountain climbers may now cheer up -and enjoy Hoosierdom, for the State geologist announces that part of the State is sleeping over a volcano, and he proves it, too, from rocks in his possession or to be pointed out by him. It appears that worthy officer has discovered a great arch of rock, known as the Cincinnati arch, extending underneath the surface, from Kentland, near vhieh Governor McCray has his farm, to Huntington, home of Attorney General Lesh. It goes through Delphi and Wabash. The discovery was revealed by little hills or domes of rock, projecting as though they were once forced up by volcanic pressure. One place the mound consists of dark brown granite, in small pieces, other places it Is limestone, now used in road making. What Is under them, or was a limited number of million years ago, just a few thousand feet, is the cause of scientific and State speculation. In places the stratum has been blown so it is practically perpendicular and it is thought these rocks come from at l°ast a thousand feet below the surface. This would indicate that in any search for volcanic fire, it would be necessary to descend much further. All this is comforting in hot weather, for assurances are given that there is no immediate danger of a blow out at either Kentland or Hurtington. It may be assumed, too, that if anyone wants a volcano in his yard, he will have to make preparations for it, in sufficient form and time to permit the neighbors to move if they do not like It. Since the timely discovery of this condition, it is suggested that the Governor and attorney general being vitally interested, as citizens of those communities, may get together and frame some law which will afford protection both against nature, by establishing a system of watchers and signals, and also by regulating any proposed hunt for volcanic vapors or hot waters. The Governor might appoint a board and they, with his advise and consent, could employ custodians who would stand, or sit guard, to warn the populace to See upon any recurrence of activities. Electric signals could be installed, under State supervision, to sound the alarm- Then if a real volcano appeared, its reception would be properly done by the State. \lain Lying An anti-prohibition organization endeavor in the East, makes the. statement that “lab' hibition and the majority of good American Everybody knows, of course, that the ~e. The question that is hard to figure out is e to get anywhere by such methods. The United States has many different kinds 01 peopie, including a few who still have the idea that this country may again stand for the booze traffic. This element is keeping up propaganda to encourage defiance and repudiation of the law, in the belief that if enough weak-minded and tuiAmerican people can be induced to join in the effort, Congress may conclude that prohibition must be modified in favor of so-called "light wines and beer." However, the majority cf the people of th’ United States favor the acceptance of the will of the people as a whole, with square and full enforcement of the law. It is true *hat the enforcement so far has fallen considerably short of success, particularly in the huge cities of the East, and it is true that there aremany rich bootleggers. But public sentiment will eventually win; the stocks of old-time Looze are limited and diminishing and nobody can drink bootleg poison very long and live. Although prohibition has hardly had a fair trial, as yet, the country ras already seen the benefits. As to the future, the big, outstanding fact is that the young people are not drinking or learning to drink and a generation from now the population will not know the taste of booze and will have no interest in the subject.—Saturday Blade, Chicago. The Difference! Down at Evansville Benjamin Boss© thinks sufficiently of the honor of being mayor to give his entire salary to charity. In Indianapolis Mayor Jewett thinks so little of the taxpayers’ money as to be willing to use in his personal business a city automobile, driven by a city employe. There seems to be a great diversity of opinion regarding the honor of being mayor of Indiana cities. In one part of the State the position appears to carry with it a sufficient recompense that the incumbent does not care to profit personally by the incumbency. Here, the incumbent not only enjoys the largest salary afforded with the title but in addition finds Its desirable to utilize his executive power to afford himself and members of his family convenient transportation to a neighboring farm it public expense.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of are. living in a suburoaa town, on a limited income, will teu tue readers ot tins Dally Times now tile many present-day problems or the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper hs* evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an Interesting review of tneir home lite and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost or living with them.) MONDAY. Mrs. Hooper's interest In scientific housekeeping method® had crown to r.ew heights during tne last week. Since the first meeting of the lii tie group of women, who had expressed themselves as sincerely desirous of discovering what was wrong with the way they had been running their homes; she had been formulating a number of plans lhat she hoped might eventually lead to the determination of every woman In Mayfield to put her honsehoiu on a paying basis. At the mooting on Friday ea-'h one of those present acknowledged that she was most deeply concerned about the spending of her monthly income, and the cosenstis of opinion hid been that if they could regniate their expenditures so that they could give their families the necessaries of life together filth a few luxuries suet, as present-day living demanded and still keep within their Incomes, their problem would be solved. But Mrs. Hoop, r knew better.* From her own experience she had learned that there is much more to the scientific management of a home than that, and while she knew that the six women who were to meet with her on Trlday afternoons until the end of the season were anxious to get at once to the mapping out of their rer.pect’ve budgets, she intended to persuade them to begin at the foundation and make their reorganizations prove thorov.gn. The discussion last Friday had concerned itself mainly with income* and budget*. But Il >opr had made up her .mind that when they assembled this week she would insist that they begin by considering tbe importance of scheduling their time in relation to their housework and come later to the budget that would regulate their incomes. While it would si-em that the condition* were different In the home of Mrs. Campbell, who tad a husband and three small children to eater to on a salary of $35 a week, and those in Mrs. Chapin's, v here there war* a husband, two grown children and a maid, with an income of *IOO a week, Mr* Hooper intended to point out that the ord'nary household tasks are the am*. r.o matter what the size of tbe family may be. Every day there must be three meals cooked and served, the dishes and pots roust be washed, the beds mutt bo made, the sleeping rooms put to rights and trio living room, stairs, ball, kitchen, bath and porch must lie cleaned Then, bo sides, there are the special tasks for the week—the washing and Ironing, mending and sewing, a thorough cleaning of the house, windows, alirer and metal clean, special cooking and baking, Ice box. pantry and closet-cleaning and the shopping and ordering of supplies. From her own experience Mrs. Hooper knew that tho planning of a schedule that would keep them to a regular routine In their work, that would Indicate the order In which It was to bo done, and how much time was to be gtron to each task, was of as much Importance in runu'eg a well-regulated home as was the arrangement of a budget that would take care of the finances. For thla reason she Intended to make n very strong point of the time schedule taking precedent of the budget when the women met with her again this week. As she went through the house on her regular Monday Inspection, Jo’ting down in her notebook, everything that would have to be replaced or repaired before next Monday, she knew that she had a very good working plan that she had thoroughly tested. t offer for their consideration. But in the light of her new 'Merest she seamed to be discovering ; laces where even her schedule could bo improved and as a result of the thought •he Intended to put into the whole matter for the benefit of her neighbor', she felt convinced that her own housekeeping standard would be raised. As she camo downstairs on her way to tho basement, whero she Intended to do a little canning before luncheon, the telephone rang. It was the Bride inquiring why she had not been asked to join ihe group that she had heard was meeting 1 at Mrs. Hooper's on Friday afternoon*, j “Why I thought you were going away | for part of the. month of Stpember,” re- ! plied Mrs. Hooper. “And the little group j is made np of those of us who are plan- j uing to stay In Mayfield all summer.’’ “But I've decided to stay homo after 1

CITY CAMPAIGN FUNDS MAY NOT FALLREADILY Republican Leaders Say $45,000 Needed to Carry on Work. Politicians today expressed the belief that both Republican and Democratic city organizations are going to have some difficulty in raising the campaign funds they desire. Republicans began their money raisin in earnest this week, while the Democrats have had their financial plan working for several weeks. Republican leaders at city headquarters frankly admitted that they will need between $40,000 and $45,000 to carry oil their work. The ns-essment of candidates was fixed at, 4 per cent of the amount of tho salaries they would receive during their four-year terms In case they ure elected. A published story to the effect that the Republicans hope to raise a fund of SOO,OOO was denied, party officials asserting that that much will not be needed. DEMOCRATIC GOAL NOT DIVULGED. The goal of the Detnocn is has not be 1 come public. Republicai s claim they have heard their opponents claiming they could raise SIOO,OOO If necessary. Democrats say they will not spend this much. Republicans claim their expenses will not be so heavy as that of the Democrats because they have so many volunteer workers available from the primary organization of Shank, Howe and Robison and because they arc not taking u ninety day poll, the cost of which if accurately done, they say, is approximately $5,000. On the other band, Democrats point out the fact that the Republicans are carrying two separate organizations and two headquarters la the regular machinery and offices in the I.emcke Annex and tho Sh.mk-for Mayor Club with its hom- In the Indiana The Democrats refuse to admit that the Republicans have any more volunteer workers than ti'-inselies and point to tho enthusiastic Ralston for-Mayor clubs they say they nil! form in every precinct.

REPORT LARGE POEBTFTL VOTE. rrcliminary reports from the Democratic poll-takers show a tremendous doubtful vo'e In gome precincts. It Is Bald, more people refuse to state thoir politics than i xpres* preference for Shank or Ralston. Democrats have been cheered by this fact, assuming that those who do not came their party or candidate for mayor art Republicans 1n many inglances who intend to swing to the Democratic ticket. Republicans, however, have a different explanation. They say that the challenging of several hundred Dcmocrasg who asked for Republican ballots In the last primary has had the effect of causing mipy pooplo to determine n-vrr again to publicly reveal their political inclination. Many persons have stated, tbe Republicans assert, that IF will be a long tlmo' before any poll taker ever gets them on re ord again. One Republican ward l-ader sad that lio doe, not believe R will be possible to ever get a poll as accurate as that of past bays for many years. Others say that tho silent vote has been growing rapid!; during the last two elections, claiming lhat In the presidential campaign there wore about 27,000 persons marked doubtful on the Republican po.’l books on elm tlon morning.

The Noah'S Ark shive rid from bow to stern, and ail the animals were thrown off thoir feat. Little Puss Junior awoke with a start. It was Just daylight, and far off in the East the rising sun was tinging the sky with pink and gold. - Puss hurriedly pulled on his red top boot3 and ran out on deck, where he met Captain Noah and his sons. “Whiles and porpoises 1” exclaimed Captain Noah, "Mr, Jonah has been asleep at tho switch again, l’U bet!"

She had hastily thrown a kimono over her night dress at the first warning and had hurried on deck. “Don’t worry,” said little Purs Juntos bravely, “Captain Noah will stop the leak: - ’ “I hope so," he said. Then turning to the passenger*, he asked “Who will volunteer to go with me below deck?” "I will.” shouted Puss. ‘ And so will 1,” said the Eii.ph.int. “Come along then," said Captain Noah. “Throw me down the tarpaulin and some planks,” he caIKJ up a few minutes later. “But, oh, dear ns-!
