THE FAILURE of controls has resulted in the smash of other machines than those which use the air. THE FEDERAL BOARD has confirmed the general impression that business is improving from a serious illness. WHY this difference of opinion between the friends of Pendleton-end those of Carmel over the desirability of a. reformatory? JULIUS £AHN s.ays the Nation must “keep up experiments in the j air.” A method of keeping them up seems to be very' much to be desired. | Traffic Rules Students of traffic problems who examine the proposed new ordinance now before the council will find that it tends toward proper regu- j lation, but Is disappointing in that it does not go far enough. For example, only a small part of the traffic congestion in Illinois street is relieved by the no parking zone. The fire hazard and congestion there will not be relieved until parking is forbidden between Ohio and Maryland streets. Stops are required before entering certain preferential streets, but this regulation 'should be extended to cover all the boulevards of the city as well as the preferential streets. With these amendments considerable relief from the present unpleasant conditions could be exnected from the adoption of the flat-to-the-curb parking rule and the limiting of parking to one hour. After all, the big question is enforcement of the rules, no mattet what they are- Some of the most elemental requirements are now almost unknown to motorists. Recently an observer counted seven cars parked in j Broadway between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets without lights at 8 o’clock on a foggy night It is not uncommon for an observant driver, to note six to ten cars without tau limits on Meridian street between the Monument and Fall creek. Apparently, enforcement of the motor traffic . regulations ends wyhen the confer policeman gathers up his standard and i departs at about 6 o’clock in the evening. j Downtown motor traffic is as dense at 7:30 p. m. as at any time in the day, but our traffic department shows no concern over it Traffic regulation is abandoned at most corners at 6 o'clock and from that time on it i>a case of “use your own judgment,” regardless of the large number of autoists thjß fight for space about the theaters and at other places. No matter what kind of traffic regulations may_be enacted, there will be no traffic regulation until the police department ceases to be governed by traditions and fits its working hours to the motor traffic. Result of Internal Differences? An interesting viewpoint of the reason for the extraordinary action of the United Mine Workers in overriding their scale committee and demanding a six-hour-day is presented by the Philadelphia Public Ledger, which says: “The Lewis administration and the Howat-Farrington insurgents, who have been fighting each other for months, are both dazed and troubled by this action. Their feud has stirred animosities and passions that cannot be controlled. ‘While Lewis and Howat were fighting for control, the delegates got away from them. Both groups have understood they would be lucky to hold what fhey now have against the rising tide of public resentment against labor arrogance and wage Inflation. They come out of the fighting daze of their own feuds to find themselves facing this. “The dullest labor leader in the pack shudders over these demands, knowing they cannot be gained. They see that an aroused public opinion that shattered the national rail strike before it could start will smash this set of demands and that labor will not only lose but will shiver and crack to its foundations in losing. “The mine chiefs do not wfent a strike; it is the last thing they want. They never expected -Jo call one. They wanted a club, and they ha\e been handed a bludgeon that may crush them, and they know it. Labor has not won a' strike of importance in months. “The next job for the miners’ chiefs Is to regain-control, if they cap. Meanwhile, the country may console itself that now is as good a time for ts strike as any. There is no sudden business revival to be checked. Warm weather is only a few weeks ahead; there no freezing women and children. “There is also a certain sa|isfaction to a harassed nation in recalling that there are nonunion coal fierds and great ones. In the face of threats and demands, it is gratifying to remember that the effort ‘to shoot union-, ism’ into West Virginia failed; that ‘bloody’ or not ‘bloody Mingo’ will go on digging coal that a nation needs.”

Grand Jury in Contempt x * x It is a leng long way from the theory of the administration of the law that was expounded~by the earlier settlers of Indiana to the present day contempt rulings of the courts. Yesterday the Supreme Court of Indiana sustained the judge of Delaware County in fining the members of a grand Jury wbt> made a report in which the court was soundly criticised for alleged bias and prejudice. ' 1 The constitution of Indiana and, in fact, the whole judicial system of the State bear unmistakable evidences of an intent on the part of the framers to retain among the people of tfie several communities the right to administer the laws they created. Apparently there was a jealous regard for judicial power and recognition of the possibilities of a judicial oligarchy, else why the provision that the jury shall be the judge of the law and the evidence when it is well known that the average jurorris poorly qualified to judge law, even if, by chance, he is a fair judge of evidence ? In the Delaware case the grand jury, acting under the theory that its conclusions as to law enforcement in the county -were privileged, embodied in the report thereon some observations and conclusions that were both personal and repugnant to the judge. He fined the jurors for contempt, thereby presenting the interesting spectacle of a court assessing a punishment on an official branch of Itself. The degree to which these particular grand jurors over-stepped their rights was a matter for the court to determine and it cannot be denied that it is possible for a grand iury to place Itself In contempt, but for all that there is serious menace in what appears to be established as a certain control over grand juries by th*?. presiding judge. Does it not include the possibility that a court may at some time feel itself offended by the return of an indictment or the_fai!ure\to return an indictment? Dot s not the jeopardy thus extended to the grand jury as a collective body deprive the citizens of the community of the assurances of unbiased consideration by a body of their peers without influence other than that of evidence properly presented? \ What Prohibition Does Avery convincing document on “How Prohibition Works in American Cities” has been prepared by Beets Pickett, research secretary of the board of temperance of the Methodist Episcopal Church. 'The booklet jieals with a number of cities from which' it presents irrefutable proof of improved economic conditions that followed the abolishment of the bar. Peril ape none is'so qgnvincing as the data presented concerning Boston, which, in the days of licensed saloons, had the best regulated and most thoroughly restricted saloons of any city in the United States. The Boston police departments reports 16,487 arrests for drunkenness in 1920 against 62,682 in 1919. The Boston city hospital reports 684 admissions for alcoholism from July 1, 1918, to July 1, 1919. and 221 for the following year. The total admissions that could he traced to alcol|)lic poisoning for the liquor period were 702 as against 522 in the prohibition period. The Boston hospital experienced the game tiling as most*of the hospitals of the country—an increase in tap number of wood alcohol noison cases, froth 33 to 128, and the addition of 113 cases resulting from the use of Jamaica ginger, which is almost pure alcohol. Facts and figures gathered from other cities all tend to show that when prohibition L judged by what it does do rather by what it fails to do, there la no question of its lasting benefits to the several communities.

THE MANY-SIDED MARGARET ANGLIN Is Revealed in Many Interests of the Star

Recent, biographers have titled their books “The Many-Sided 'Washington,” “The" Many-Sided Franklin” and “The Many-Sided Roosevelt.” The future biographer of one of the most distinguished actresses of the day may well follow this precedent and write “The Many-Sided Margaret Anglin.” No other woman on the stage today has followed "o ‘many activities and achieved such brilliant results. As' an actress, first of all, Miss Anglin’s range is that of the great artist. She playa the classic Greek roles, like Medea or Antigone with compelling tire. As Rosalind, Viola and Katherine she is splendid. Tier’s was the tlrst Roxnne in “Cyrano de Bergerac,” in tills country with Richard Mansfield. These are all roles dt the first magnitude. Yet Miss Anglin achieves Her greatest utoments in “The Woman of Bronze,” which comes to the Murat the first three days next week, with Wednesday mat- j lr.ee. in a scene of mingled emotion. While maintaining an air of lightness and j gaiety before he* guests in the play. ; Miss Anglin conveys at the same time ;<• j her audience the intense mental and I spiritual anguish she is enduring in tlie I great crisis through which she is passing. It Is this mastery, not only of great emotional and tragic moods, but of the lightest comedy as well, which gives Miss Anglin her dominant place on the stage. The actress who can enact Medea end also present with light and deft comedy the modern complexities of the heroine of “Green Stockings” is surely many sided. * Tne actress, however, is only one side of Miss Anglin’s character. Asa pro- j ducer record places her lie- ; yond any other woman of today. Within! ten years she has appeared in twentyseven plays and nearly all of them were produced under her own direction. The Greek dramatists and Shakespeare dominate the list. The Harvard School of Dramatists is represented in it. Fa- ! mous modern dramatists, like Henri 1 .Arthur Jones ewd Oscar Wilde, are included. Unknown and well-known American dramatists have had their chance and have had the advice and cooperation of Miss Anglin in their work. Even the modern continental dramatists are represented. Miss Anglin’s energy is indefatigable. At this moment, with a,big success to her credit in “Tho Woman of Bronze, the actress is planning further productions of “The Eiectra” and “The gone.” Best of all. Miss Anglin is what Badrie calls “a very woman." It is this inherent womanliness that shines through j all her activities. There is nothing of tne blue stocking or the so-called strong-minded female about Miss Anglin. In her own drawing room the portrait of the awakened Helena Ritchie by Ivanowski smiles from the wail and the woman who posed for the portrait sits smiling beneath it, the most charming of hostesses. 1 ■ M : ss Anglin, on the stage, is the magic working Medea, the vengeful Eiectra, the

Do not confuse the Z% c / 0 Victory bonds w‘lth the 4 \'"c Victory bonds. Interest on ail other issjits of Liberty bonds and Victory bonds is exempt from the normal Income tax. The interest above the exempt amounts is. however, subject to the surtax and excess profits tax provided your income Is sufficient to put you in those brackets- In the case of an individual the surtax is not applied until the net Income (before the personal exemption Us deducted) exceeds $5,000.

(Does not include Victory notes.) Note—Coupons on Libetty bonds and Victory bonds not clipped or cashed ip 1921 are treated as income. For instance, say you clipped on Jan. 12, 1922, all your coupons covering interest payable in 1921—the fact that F o ' l did not actually receive the cash in 1021 does not excuse you from not including it in 1921. Os course, if your holdings are hot sufficient for taxable purposes, then it makes no difference.

MEN, AND BUSINESS B$ RICHARD SPILLANE

Special to Indiana Daily Times ' and Philadelphia Public .Ledger. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23. —Salesmanship, says \he head of a large sales organization, will not be placed on a sound basis In this country until the drawing account is abolished. “If I had all the money the drawing account has cost me,” he adds, “I could start a bank. The system is wrong. Why should I finance a salesman any more than a manufacturer should finance a pieceworker in his factory. It has been made manifest in the last year tha,j the number of salesmen is small in comparison with the number of persons who pose as salesmen. 4

“Any one tan sell stuff when the public is eager to tuy and distributors are scrambling for goods., but it takes real salesmanship to effect sales when the public Is coy about buying and the merchants are doubtful about the market. "Confidence and, conversation will pot sell goods. You need something more. You- need knowledge of your,--business and faith in the' articles you have to sell. “I have no etui of applications from salesmen. * They arc chock full of enthusiasm. They re sure they can sell the stuff. They only ask a chance to demonstrate their ability. I must say they talk well. up VERYTITINO looks good until they •Li spring the question as to what drawing account they are to have. When. I tell them I’m off this drawing aecount business, they grow suddenly cold. No drawing account? Why, how are they to live ? “I used to ‘fall’ for that. bi\t not now. I’ve allowed drawing accounts until I’ve almost wrecked the business Look at this list. Here’s one case. Three months drawing account, SSO a week, and the gentleman didn't bring in ordcr| averaging $lO a week. Here's another a bird who didn’t, do a thing ia a month lut draw his pay. Here’s another. I’ve got stacks of them, some good, some fair and many of them bad. X/f Y observation Is that the average lvl salesman knows little of thrift, lie assumes that he has selling ability but isn’t willing to prove it except at your'expense. “When you give a drawing account to many of them they go out blithely and confidently, but when they don't produce and you ask them why they tel! you business is bad Now you knew that before you started.” •What angers me is the attitude of the so-called salesman looking for a Job. Yon -may question his ability and he will flash up and tell you he can sell anything that ever was made but when you tell him if that is so thnye is no reason why ho should have a drawling account he’ll tell you he is not interested and when he says it you know he considers you a piker. o A MERIOAN salesmanship will be on -ix- a hotter basis when the drawing account is abolished.

OUTSIDERS BUY HOOSIER FARMS Records Show Indiana Folk Prefer Michigan Land. Indiana farms apparently are more attractive to people of Illinois than they are to the residents of Indiana, Judging oy farm sales recorded laat year. Conversely. Indianians, Becking farms in other States, showed a decided prefer•m,'v for the farms of Michigan over vh o of any other State. Nevertheless, the records show an incteasing demand for Indiana farm homes in 1921 us compared with the previous ye.’r. These inferences are drawn from a report just issued by the E. A. Stout Farm Agency, Inc., which sold forty-eight Indiana farms last year and a total throughout the country of 5,114 with a total value of $20,000,000. Twenty-six of the buyers of Indiana farms reported by the' agency last year came from Illinois, while eleven Intliflnians are recorded as having purchased farms in Vhoir home State. Michigan, Minnesota and furnished two buyers each to Pennsylvania, Maryland, Missouri t icky and, Mississippi one each. ' Fifty residents' of Indiana purchased -’arms in other States. Os these, twentytwo went to Michigan, six to New York, four to Wisconsin, three to Ohio, two each to Pensylvanin, Maryland, Missouri and and one each to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Illinois nnfl Virginia.

counts. Today there are lots'of them who don't think it Is any use to hustle. “There has to -be anew deal In salesmanship in this country. One of thh first things a salesman must learn is that It is poor busines to sell goods unless the buyer is reasonably sure of a profit Heretofore he has gone along, with the idea that if lie ‘struck’ a buyer with more than he could.dispose of for a long t irne it was nor of any concern of his oi mine- or anybody but the misguided buyer. He didn't appreciate ‘hat he was making it difficult for others to sell to tnai buyer' beciwise of the amount of ’dead’ stock created and that‘ultimately no one profits but many are injured by such salesmanship. TOD salesmen can sell goods today. There is a good market for a hustler and an honest qpstaliding worker. But It is not a g-od market for the drawing account salesman. He has not the Incentive to hustle. And you have to hustle now. The hustler of today will be the master salesman tomorrow. These are the times to try out men. I wish I were thirty years younger. If 1 were I’d be out, on the road. There's where men are getting the experience today that will make leaders out of them later yn.”—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

The President ia charged with having ignored the rights of the minority party t q participation in the Government and "as reminded ol Republican attacks on President Wilson for denying adequate presentation sot tile Republicans. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, rapping Democratic member of the | Finance Committee, to which HarI ding nominations were referred, prevoked tiie debate. He said he La\ no criticism, whatever, of the personal character of any of the five Republicans chosen by the President, nor would he seek to block their confirmation by the ; Seuate. But Mr. Simmons said he was disappointed keenly*, and be felt a ma- • Jonty of the American people would share , his disappointment, that Mr. Harding bad , seen fit to ignore the Democratic party in naming the commission. SHARP CONFLICTS OF (Pinion developed. “It was .well known that the discussion here developed sharp conflicts of opinion,” Mr. Simmons said, “especially with respect to the extension of the Time for payment. When it came to a vote this chamber divided on lines. Under these circumstances, in of that clear division, i‘ does President ought to bare seen the f ar.d ;r. : .•l’iowh.g-the "1 Stal'd to have at l-ast one representative I i commission.” fXH The President having named Cabinet officers—Secretaries Hughes, 100, and Hoover—and two members of - Congress—Senator Smoot jt Utah, and | Representative Burton, of Ohio —Senator | Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, following ' Simmons,* raised the issue of the constitutional right of Messrs. Smoot and ; Burton to serve. "Ac Senator from Montana contended that passage of an act of Congress providing for appointment of two members of Congress did not affect the constitutional prohibition against their j eligibility. He expected to have sornej thing more to say on. that subject when | the question of their confirmation came ! before the Senate. CANNOT SERY'E when POLICY VESTED. t \ “The subject was considered in detail ! by a committee in the House of which Mr. Speaker Henderson was chairman.” | Mr. Walsh said. [’They laid down'what always has seemed't© me the correct rule, j that there was no constitutional objqci tion ttr service on a commission whose authority did not extend beyond investl- ! gation and report to Congress nor did it j cover appointment on commissions to negbtlate treatiesfefterward to be approved by the Senate. But, the rule was estab--1 Ushed they could not serve when Congress vested in' a commission power* to j bind the Government to any policy as j they then became executive officers.” ! Senator Borah. Republican of Idaho, 1 drew attention of Senator Walsh to inquiry and conclusions of former Senator j Iloar of Massachusetts, -who took the position members might be appointed as a matter of policy, but they could noy ; serve under tho Constitution. The sacs that no Democratic the Senate voted f -r passage of t eign debt funding bill was < Senator Kellogg. Republican oi nesota, as justification for the at by the President in appointing none * the commission created under authority j of that act KELLOGG EXCUSE DRAWS | FIKE OF WILLIAMS, i The Kellogg argument drew fire from ! Senator Williams, Democrat of Mis|issippl j who declared he had been ad active supj porter of the legislation and had urged | the Senate to give the executive broad | authority to conduct the funding nego- . tiutiona. "If 1 had known the matter was to bo committed exclusively to the Republican party Instead of to the whole country, 1 would not have beqn so llberhl in my at- ! titude toward the Administration,” Mr. Williams stated. Senator Heflin, Democrat of Alabama, declared “if Woodrow Wilson had sent such a commission ss this to the Senate you Kepublieaim would be bobbing up *,nd down around here like a Cuckoo on a clock.”—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
