Borah Calls for Division of His Party—A lot of Republicans will agree that he is well qualified. The thrill of the first pair of long trousers is nothing compared to the thrill of the first short dress. The old-fashioned woman who used to wish she could drown her sorrow has a daughter who shoots him. “I’m going to clean up Europe,’’ said Jack Dem sey as he set sail for overseas. But he is about four years too late. Thirty-four thousand dollars additional salari's for deputy assessors in Center township comes in mighty handy on the eve of a primary election. If Miss Esther Kathlsen O'Keefe, one of two Hoosier women candidates for Congress, is permitted to carry her "kitchen economy” theory to Washington there is no doubt it would solve the taxation problem. The League Grows Popular Senator Borah, Republican and irreconcilable opponent of the league of nations, believes tl*e number of people who favor United States participation in the league is constantly increasing. A few days ago he replied to Senator McCormick’s statement that only an "invisible remnant” of Republicans retain lingering love for the covenant in the following language: "I’m afraid the Senator is wrong, and further, I think the number of pro-leaguers is increasing.” This assertion, coming from a man who is generally credited with hav- j ing been sincere in his opposition to the Versailles agreement, is an in-; teresting admission. And, too, there is little doubt that the Senator is i entirely correct in his premise. The ratification of the four-power Pacific pact—a miniature league ! —by the very Republicans who had opposed the entrance of the United • States into the world pact has done more than any other one thing to j * i pßove conclusively to the public there was a surprising absence of sin- 1 cerity in Washington, when the Senate declined to approve the League of Nations. The bogey of international committments, held so glaringly j before us while the league was being debated, were not in evidence' when the four-power pact was ratified and the people have not been slow to to see that both agreements have as their fundamental principle the banishment of warfare. Another thing that is making the league more popular and which is making American non-participation more untenable is the fact that the j league has been instrumental in stopping twenty-one different wars that ■ raged in various parts of Europe following the World War; that end-; less international controversies have been settled through the good i offices of the league; that it, through the Red Cross, has established the ( first line of defense against pestilence and famine that has swept portions of Europe, and that it has been responsible for a great moral awaken-! ing in creating agencies to stamp out the white slave evil. v The league, contrary to much we heard in the last campaign, is functioning and Senator Borah, opposed as he is to international agreements of any sort, is still statesman enough to sense the trend of public opinion.
A Good Investment High water has come and gone again. This time it was a little higher than usual, but Indianapolis suffered virtually no loss. No one was even very seriously inconvenienced. Only places where little or no damage could be done were inundated. This pleasant situation is due just to one thing. That thing is a great wall of concrete and earth extending for miles along the west bank of White River. No flood that has come since a record has been made could have overtopped that wall and It would take unheard of high waters to wash it away. The water recently was not high compared with 1913, but with the meager protection in existance in that year, the city would have been in serious danger if not in the path of actual disaster. Indianapolis is lower than most other Indiana cities and without adequate protection would suffer more. No one who was in Indianapolis at the time will ever forget the 1913 flood, when West Indianapolis was entirely under water and other parts of the city were flooded, when bridges were washed away and when school houses, churches, and public halls were filled with refugees taken from the homes in boats. Out of that flood came the great flood wall, the most monumental civic improvement in the history of Indianapolis. It was a case of locking the bar;: after the horse was stolen, but we are assured the horse can not be stolen again. The construction of the flood wall, the dredging of the river and other flood prevention work cost the city millions of dollars. It is not paid for and it will be many years before it is paid so-, but this, with track elevation, is the best investment the city has ever made. Without the flood wall damage amounting to many times its cost might be done in a single hour. The Speeder Elsewhere The police department has announced another crusade against the speeder, and the careless or indifferent driver, and it is to be hoped that something may come from it. These anouncements are periodically made. The daily papers announce the list of accidents almost every day due to the anarchy of the Ft. Wayne streets. The coming of warm weather means that unless something drastic is done to put an end to the anarchy and to find a place in jail for the anarchists we shall probably have a few funerals as usual in this city before the summer is over. The fault may not be due to any lack of effort on the part of the police. They manifestly cannot be everywhere at once. Tho vigilance committee of citizens has ceased to be vigilant, if, indeed, it ever was, due in large measure to the hesitancy of men to proceed against neighbors and acquaintances. Possibly the law is not stringent enough. Certain it is that mild fines will not end the anarchy of the Ft. Wayne streets. The man who commits an offense of this character, which calls for any punishment, deserves the heaviest fine that can be laid on, and it :s a pity that more are not sent to jail. In other and larger communities the sons of the millionaires, like Swift and Dodge, have known the atmosphere of the jail for speeding and all the millions of their fond and doting papas were not sufficient to save th m from the sort of com osnionship they deserve. Throughout the winter in Ft. Wayne we have had collision after collision because of speeding or reckless driving, and with the coming of summer we shall have them multiplied unless the drivers can be convinced that it is the intention to enforce the law. If it cannot be enforced it should be repealed, it is wrong to threw people off their guard by holding out the ilea that they are protected when vey are not.—Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette

Washington Briefs
Vi ASIIINGTON, April 13,—Two giants of Versailles, Woodrow Wilson and Kleutherlos Venlzelos, will meet In Washington this week. The “Bismarck of Greece” has reached the captiol on the homebound leg of his journey through the Americas and wiil remain here until next Monday. Today he paid a private call of re spect upon Mr. Hughes at the Spctray of State's residence In Eighteenth street. M. Venlzelos and his wife expect to said for Europe aboard the Mauretania on April 25, after a sojourn of roughly six months In the Western Hemisphere. Genoa, of course, dominated all thought In Washington today, at least In those quarters which are not ashamed to be Internationally minded. Comment on the opening days tempestuous proceedings was strictly withheld both at the White House and the Sta*e Department. Occasion was found to emphasize that American officialdom's studied taciturnity Is not to be Interpreted as 111 wishes for the Genoa conference. On the contrary, the genuine hope of the United States Government Is that It will bring forth a mountain in the shape of effective results . Inquiry was made in an exalted official quarter today concerning recurring reports of big America ! loans to Russia. "We’d like to look at the collateral before we discuss such a proposition.” was the sententious and significant rejoinder. Sir Auckland Geddea, who reached Washington tonight from his month's swing around the circle extending to the Pacific coast of the United States and Canada, celebrates his second year of ambassadorship on April 20. To start him on a third year, the Pilgrims of the United States wil honor the British envoy at dinner in New York on the evening of April 21. His New York address to the Pilgrims doubtless will ileal with present-hour international conditions, and perhaps n Genoese note of direct Anglo-American Import will be struck.

How to Make Your Vario-Coupler
DETROIT, April 13.—The first and largest Radio Exposition in the Middle West will be held in the Exhibition Hall of the General Motors building, April 19 to 26. It will be staged by the American Radio Exhibitors’ Association, Inc., with Detroit offices In 1009 First National Bank building. Mayor James Couzens will open the show by a radiophone address from a local broadcasting station. Thousands of radio enthusiasts from I Michigan and neighboring States will | be given an opportunity of studying the latest developments and newest devices of wireless telephony, of hearing lectures by experts and of inspecting the exhibits of the great electrical manufacturers and prominent radio dealers anu distributors. Many radio delegations from the neighboring States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York and Wisconsin have announced their Intention of attending. The demand for exhibiting space has b&en very heavy, but due to the fact that i larger quarters have been secured in the General Motors building, a few booths are still available nt a nominal figure. The show will be of great value to radio amateurs who have already delved Into the realm of ether waves and to the novices who are anxious to become members of the radio family. The latter will be afforded an opportunity of viewing collectively all manner of radio equipment, making it possible for a proper selection of an instrument for their individual use. Those in attendance who consider an entry into the radio business will have the wireless market ot their disposal. The exhibits will represent all phases of the radio Industry. The products will range from contact points to complete receiving sets of the latest and most efficient type, finished In such manner as to grace the parlor of any home. Asa wnique feature of the show, the management is endeavoring to secure an exhibition of radio freaks and novel radio adoptions, the products of amateurs with an inventive turn of mind. If at all; possible, receiving sets that can be car- j ried In a vest pocket or on a woman's ' ring and other midget apparatus will be I on display. Special lectures will be given by Thom- j ss E. Clark, a pioneer of wireless since i 1900, and one of the oustanding figures in the radio field. Mr. Clark designed the wireless apparatus for the Detroit and Cleveland lines, and for the Revenue Cutler Service of the United States Navy in 1012. -His exhibit will show the evo-i lution of radio telephony. The lecture will cover Installation, operation, amplification, maintenance and many other subjects, knowledge of which is indispensable to radio fans. Many radio engineers will be on duty during the show to give expert advice, answer questions and help beginners to avoid mistakes common to those who are new to wireless communication. Concerts from the big Eastern broadcasting stations and others throughout the country wil! be heard by means of high-powered receiving gets, and It Is even hoped to pick up the San Francisco station, thus establishing anew reception record for this district. It is planned to have two miniature houses completely equipped with sending and receiving apparatus showing the latest and most effieent methods of erecting antenna.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY It Is not good for man to be alone.— Genesis 2:IS. Would we codify the laws that should reign In households, and whose dally transgression annoys and mortifies ns, and degrades our household life, we must learn to adorn every day with sacrifices. Good manners are made up of petty sacrifices. Temperance, courage, love, are made np of the same jewels. I.isten to every prompting of honor. Ralph Waldo Emerson. *

Since the secondary coil must rotate for tuning, the ends must be long enough to allow a 180-degree turn. These ends are brought to two binding posts mounted through the primary tube.
