IT APPEARS that no one would enjoy a tax on bank checks except the fellow who doesn’t believe in banks, anyhow! NOR did Mayor Jewett feel that West Indianapolis contains any citizens sufficiently qualified for a place on the city planning commission! FORTUNATELY, the ambitions of the burglars who entered twentyeight different place In Indianapolis did not run high enough to make the loss excessive! Why? ’ Inspection of the tentative budgets now being prepared by the various branches of the Jewett administration for next year reveals that the administration has been exceedingly extravagant this year qr that it proposes to handicap the next administration by the provision of inadequate funds. Curtailments of estimated expenditures for next year are subject to considerable scrutiny in view of the fact that while the funds will oe established by this administration, another administration will expend them. Every effort that Is made legitimately to curtail city expenses will meet with general approval, but no effort to handicap the next administration should be overlooked in the zeal for economy. Slashing of budget Items to one-fourth the amount made available for this year 19 likely to create the impression that an attempt is being made to embarrass the next administration. If such is not the reason for the slashing and there is sincerity In the belief that only one-fourth of this year’s fund will be necessary next year, there immediately arises the question of why this administration required four times as much money as it expects its successors to spend. Particular care should be exercised in the compilation of the municipal budget for next year insomuch as the State board of accounts has announced that next year the law limiting municipalities to the expenditure of funds for the purpose for which they were raised will be enforced. Economy 19 much to be desired but the Incoming administration should not be crippled under the guise of an economy program. Primarily. Indianapolis wants good government. Cement , Sand and Gravel A little meeting of sand and gravel dealers at Cedar Point. Ohio, has recently called attention to the important position occupied In the community by handlers of those commodities. Without thm business would cease. The use of stcne has been revolutionized by concrete, made from cement which may be shipped in. and mixed with gravel or stone found locally. All has occurred within the memory of the present generation. The old stone mason who cut and shaped with mallet and chisel no longer patiently plods away. He is probably laying concrete or concrete blocks. The use of concrete has grown by such bounds that it is indeed won dered how former generations did without it. And in it all, the bulk of the volume was furnished by mixing cement with sand, or gravel, on a ratio of from one part of cement to three to seven parts of sand. The manufacture from cement of almost everything except breakfast food has been attempted by inventive ingenuity. Even ships have been made of it. This city has been particularly blessed by nature in deposits of sand and gravel. Some is taken from dry pits but the bulk is lifted from the bed of the river, dumped into trucks and delivered for use without any handling, as soon as dug- Then a freshet comes along and the hole gradually refills with the sand or gravel and In a few years tbre river shows no signs of having supplied such a want. There was a time when muscle and brawn were required to mine this product, or at least to shovel it about, but machinery under direction of skilled mechanics, now lifts it, separates stones from gravel, according to size, sifts the sand and places it ready for delivery. A sand or gravel pit is of real value to a community. The growth from the clearing away of the forest,’to the development of an article made from the abundant sand marks the trail of progress.

Gifts That Develop If ever there was really a romance which ended as kappi y as did that connected with the Chapin Iron mine on the Menominee ridge. It has not been made public. The truth of that mine is stranger than fiction. Recently the settlement of a claim for $200,000, held by a minister who took a deed for forty acres of land, as a wedding fee, calls it to attention. Years ago the clover ridges of northern Michigan and Wisconsin were a drug on the market, and it was scarcely worth while to record a deed for the property. Perhaps if one purchased a forty acre tract another forty acres would be slipped in the deed, unless closely inspected. The site of the original Chapin mine was deed in payment for a security debt to the person who gave it the name. It was not supposed this land had any real value. Today is may be purchased, excepting the mineral rights, for a nominal price, but the mines of iron ore are the richest in the world. On the royalty of a dollar a ton, over fifty millions of dollars have gone to the Chapin owners from the one mine at Iron Mountain, Mich. Then there are other Immense mineral deposits throughout the entire region. The story is told that the owner of the land could not pay a note and his surety made it good. The owner begged the surety to accept the northern Michigan land as a part remuneration, and the result is known to all the world. Perhaps it was a joke to give a minister a deed for forty acres of this land as a marriage fee, but the Joke was like the surety debt and resulted differently from expectations. The consolation is that those who accepted deeds for supposedly worthless lands got more than they expected. The Playgrounds The growth in city plaj'ground activities from eighteen fields when first started to over fifty certainly shows that young Indianapolis Is Indifferent to heat and sometimes worse company. The color *4xne is not drawn and all the neighborhood kids are invited, so long as they behave. Two incidents recently noted on one crowded field illustrate the spirit that may prevail and they do justice to the management, from Walter Jarvis down to the assistant instructress, whose watchful care contributes so much to the success of the ground. In arranging a mass game, wherein many tots fell in line and circled, I one little girl who refused to cooperate was ruled out. A boy expressed his satisfaction and said he "just hated her.” This remark was promptly corrected by the instructress, who secured the boy’s promise neither' to hate any one nor use the term. She impressed upon him that Joy and love should rule the grounds. The second incident occurred at 9 o'clock, when a policeman blew his whistle for all children to go home. It was followed by a good night reception and the big officer w„s frequently kissed by the little ones as he bestowed his nocturnal benediction on each by name. The presence of the police Is necessary to preserve order, but the spirit of happiness rules. It is far better to have this recreation organized for children then to turn them loose upon the streets, to seek such diversion as is possible, with opportunities for mischief. The daily attendance is larger now than ever before. Discrimination ! There Beems to be something about the holding of public office in this vicinity that warps men’s Judgment of propriety. The tragic disclosure that Mayor Jewett has been using a city owned car driven by a city paid employe to transport members of his family and himself to his hog farm at public expense recalls that when James P. Goodrich was Governor of Indiana he made an inspection trip of State institutions in a State car driven by a murderer whom he had paroled from the Michigan City Prison for the express purpose of acting as his chauffeur. Goodrich did not transcend propriety as far as Mayor Jewett, howeverHe used the State’s property and the State’s convict on State business. Mayor Jewett uses a city car and the city's employe on private business. Which also recalls that while a touring car and a city paid chauffeur are a part of the perquisites of the office of mayor under the Jewett regime, the State of Indiana does not furnish Governor McCray with either car or chauffeur. Evidently there is discrimination against the Governor which is hardly compensated by the difference in the salary of the two officials.

Symptoms: Short, coat looks as if it were too tight over his husky little breast He is fond of clothes and yet never indulges in a comfortable suit. He sits on the edge of chairs, and he is always on the edge of telling you he loves you He doesn't stutter, yet he is nervous. As a lover he is very amusing, especially when he pretends that he isn’t your lover. In most cases he tries the platonic, bvt his saccharine smile gives him away and his terrific effort never to be late is a fearful tell tale.

j KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living In a su bJ}.*S town, on a limited income will teu tbe readers of the Ditily Time* how the many present-day problems or the home are solved by working on the budget that Mr*. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an Interesting rev.ew of their home lire and learn to meet the conditions of the high coat ol living with them.) TUESDAY. “Well, at least laundry work isn’t tempernmenlal." announced Mrs. Hooper to the Bride .■ she made her appearance at the door of the Hoop-r laundry with the remark "Vm glad every one doesn t bate washing the way I do.” "But. really, when you think of it said Mrs. Hooper, "it is the simplest of all our household tasks. Once you have any kind of a method established with washing it never changes After you ye learned how to wash flannels properly vou go on doing it that same wav forever It isn't like cooking, where yon have to keep changing th dishes to suit the taste of your family and the require mente of the various seasons. "Well I know it is the last household task that 1 shall accept gracefully." said the Bride as she put on her apron, and dr-’w up a chair beside Helen who was busily removing the stems from the currants that her mother was putting P while the washing machine was doing Us work. “One of the greatest hardships we have to endure in Mayfield with regard to doing our own washing is that the wa ter In this town is so hard. It has so much lime in 1t that It is difficult to soften.” “What do your do about it V asked the Bride “Well I always use washing soda because It is the cheapest and most effective if you are careful uot to put in too mnrh." answered Mrs Hooper. “J had great difficulty in regulating the amount even after I learned that you couldn’t Just throw the washing soda in by the ’handful’, and have it soften the water, without ruining the clothes at the same time. I finally went to the lce-ai water department at and asked them if they would tell me the degree of hardness of the Mayfield water and how much soda I ought to use according to a scientific formula." “And did they tell you?” asked Helen. “Certainly,” answered Sirs. Hooper. “A very friendly man explained it to me, although he seemed surprised that I had taken the trouble to come around and ask him Two-thirds of an ounce of washing soda for a hundred gallons, for each degree of hardness ho said was the correct amount. And us the hardness of the Mayfield water is 20 degrees and my tub holds ten gallons of water he figured it out for me that one and onethird ounces would soften a tubful of water. And after measuring it a few

times. I can tel! the right amount now by just taking it out in my hands.” T suppose the satisfaction of haring It Just right pays you for all the trouble you took to look up the water com panys man," observed the Bride. "it’s not ouly the satisfaction," replied Mrs. Hooper, “but I don't have to be worrying and speculating every time I ns© soda, as to whether 1 am going to strike it. right. T just know how much to put in and there is an end of it for all time and iny clothes never suffer from an overdose of soda.” “I thought people used borax to softer water,” said th© Bride, as she emptied the pan of currants into the preserve kettle; “I always put It in when I wash my hands.” “Oh. you can use borax, of course,” replied Mrs. Hooper, “but it is mot© expensive nnd has less softening power than soda. One ounce or about two level teaapoonfula to ton gadons of water Is the proportion of borax I Would use If I were substituting it for the soda.” “I want, to copy that list of atain remove/} that you bsve pasted up over the wash tuba, ’ said ti e Bride as she was preparing to leave later. “Although I don't do any of my washing at home, 1 "ant to take all the sraina out of things before I send them to the laundry.
