PHACNIDER SAYS [MAN’S RELIGION I DOESN’T MATTER Commander Replies to ■ Charge of Protestant ■ Publication. H “now a man worships his God in his Hvn business," declared Hanford MacHlder, national commander of the AmerHan I.egion, today in a plea for religious SHlerance in America. Commander MacHider’s appeal was mad‘> in a letter to Hie editor of "The Protestant,” published Hi Washington, I>. C., replying to a recent fcA ;icle In that journal entitled "Rome the American Legion.” This article in question, it was explained, misstated the religious affiliations of the legion commander. “This country was formed by men who sought religious tolerance and it is that spirit which has made it free, fine and worth living in,” said the letter. “I happen to be a Protestant and attend a Protestant church, but as a member of many Masonic bodies, which I have taken a more or less active part, I have great admiration for that institution, the Roman Catholic Church. Its stand and teachings for the preservation of the integrity of our Government were well exemplified in the heroic deaths of men who served in my own command. And. might I add, the chaplains of that faith gave a human touch to their plendid service that made them beloved by all, Jew, Protestant and Catholic alike? ‘The American Legion Is an organization of return service men and women holding together in an endeavor to continue their service to their country in peace as well as in war as constructive citizens. Religion in legion membership is no more a question than it is in American citizenship, nor can it be brought into legion affairs. It was not a question when a man stepped out to join the colors and to defend his country. It never will be a question in our service as legion men. propaganda as yon are spreading to America and America's inMyMions. Iluw a man worships his God iaipK- own business and not yours.”

After All Is Said and Done

By VOLNEY B. FOWITR. Science, the great aim of which is to make life more livable, has come out with another boon to mankind. Now comes John L. Elliott, city civil engineer, with the announcement that somebody has invented a noiseless manhole cover and that he is going to have the board of public works buy half a dozen of them for experiment upon the streets of Indianapolis. The style of cover now in use becomes loose so that there is a resounding clank every time a motor car crosses it. The engineering department frequently receives complaints from citizens objecting to the irritating sound in front of their homes. One light sleeping woman living on Meridian street reported that during a certain joyous convention not long ago motor cars kept the cover at,her corner agitated so that she could not close her eyes all night. The new cover is noiseless, its producer claims, because it requires a twist- to loosen it. There used to be sm'l| a thing as a "holy-of-holies” at the city ball. Before Samuel Lewis Shank Invited the whole town to come up and put its feet upon his desk mayors could shut themselves up Inside luxurious private offices and ponder problems of the day or confab with confederates to their heart's content while the mayor’s secretary and messeui ger worried along with the crowd awaltl lng admission outside. But not so since Shi nk’s private office Is about pr vate place in the city hall. with he lets his secretary adpeople to the inner chamber Sjfbably than any executive In private or publb. life in Indiana. Two do. tectives, the mayor’s messenger, his secretary and another employe weave in and out from the outer to the private office bearing the names and usually the desires of those who wish to see Mr. Shank. If he is in the office there are few who do not get admitted. During the first two weeks of his administration Mr. Shank seldom left his desk, except to attend board meetings. The time came, however, when it was necessary for him to talk to people one at a time. The private stairway leading upward to the board of public safety suite and downward to the back room of the board of public works provided the means of escape. Now when the mayor wishes a moment’s peace he goes up or down the stairs. People are quick to find out means of looking behind the scenes. One of the green curtains on the heavy doors leading from the second floor corridor into the private office does not fit tightly. Almost any time of the day two or three inquiring citizens can be found peeking through the crack to catch a glimpse of what is going on Inside. The crack has been there for a long time but the mayor never had it closed. .Commissioner Martin J. Hyland to f n nr for the permanence of •JIM-of his new cinder streets. Not that they will wear out, tint that Hr is afraid they will be burned up. The Mother day Assistant City Attorney William T. Bailey was interviewing a needy woman, who had applied for help. A basket of groceries was ordered for her and Mr. Bailey asked if she had any coal. She had none but she did not care for any. “Why not? How are you going to keep warm?” inquired the attorney. ’ “I’m ashamed to tell you,” said the woman. “Well, why?” persisted the official. “I guess I might as well tell the truth," replied the housewife. “You know they spread some cinders on .our street the other day. Well, those 'Hinders are the finest coke 'weever burned.” Cityißullding Commissioner Francis L. Hamilton is trying to find a way to ado

a plan reading clerk to his staff. The building department must minutely examine plans for every structure upon which a building permit is sought. AmoYvg other things the building commissioner must know whether or not the construction is substantial enough U prevent such disasters as the theater roof collopse in Washington. It takes an expert to do It and the commissioner—ls about the only official competent to do it. So many large building projects are about to be launched that the commissioner now fears he will have no time to attend to the administrative duties of his office, such as supervising the constant search for dangerous structures, if he does not have some help on the plan reading. Practically all building departments of cities in the class of Indianapolis have employes who do nothing but study plans. BRITISH TO PAY PART OF DEBT Harding Prediction of Payment in Full Appears to Be Wrong. LONDON, Feb. 23. —The amount of the British debt to the United States which is to be funded through bond# guaranteed by the American Government, may be under one billion dollars, it was learned this afternoon.
