"Chuck” Wiggins, boxer, having lost a d-cision to the State of Indiana, will now fill an engagement at the Penal Farm. IF THE woodshed and a slipper had been judiciously used, perhaps the State would not now be in a quandary over the disposal of a S-year-old murderer. B"T DOESN’T Albert J.'Beveridge, who wants the Sherman law repealed" remember that Senator Watson specially defended that statute before the Republican State convention? The Tide Is Rolling In Smith W Brookheaft’s victory in winning the Republican senatorial nomination in lowa over a field of six contenders, one backed by the G O P organization, is another one of those political upheavals started by the Indiana primary that nominated Albert J. Beveridge. First the wave of progressiveism-or rather revulsion against machine tactlcs-went East and swept Gifford Pinchot into the gubernatorial nomination in Pennsylvania. Now it has swung back West and nominated a .man who says It "is ac even greater victory for the Progressive cause than the Indiana and Pennsylvania primaries, because the platform on which I ran was more progressive.” The surviving defenders of old guardism may well look at each otaer in consternation, for in every test in which they or their adherents have gone before the voters after a year of the Harding Administration they have been rebuked. It is useless to say that each of these victories has been preu.cated on personal issues entirely. The results have been the protests of the people against machine tactics and at the first opportunity permitted they have registered an unmistakable voice against political manipulation as exemplified by the stalwar. leaders in charge of present-day Republican doctrines and policies. The School B ard's Action It is to be hoped tnat the school board is correct in assuming *he attitude that the revolutionary changes decreed yesterday in the Indianapolis educational system will tend to greater efficiency in the schools, but the precipitate action with which it acted leads to (fcubts that may linger until the innovation proves a success or a failure. We sincerely trust that Mr. Barry is correct in predicting that a tremendous forward step in school affairs has been taken, yet we are assured with equal emphasis by Brandt C. Downey the action sets back education twenty-five years in this city. If Mr. Downey is right In his assumption the decapitation of fifteen administrative heads was an unfortunate incident. Doubtless much argument can be advanced on either side of the question whether greater efficiency can be obtained through the official positions just abolished, or by means of the new trio of assistant superintendents. It would seem, however, that the board rushed into the revolutionary change without sufficient investigation. At least the lack of evidence to the contrary would indicate that the matter had not been fully discussed by all parties concerned —the board, the officials affected by the order and last, but not least important, the patrons.
High Explosives Do you know that ordinary flour, the kind that is used to hake bread, is highly explosive? Government chemists, after seven years’ study, tell some Interesting things about it. Since 1860, at least thirty-(He flour mills have been wrecked by explosions of flour dust. CLd-timers will reca.l the record explosion of ISTB, when five separate flour mills were blown up In Minneapolis with a loss of eighteen lives. In 11*17 a similar explosion in a grain elevator destroyed enough grain to feed 200,000 people for a year. David J. Price, engineer in charge of Uncle Sam’s investigation of dust explosions, says that dust in general Is a high explosive. Combustible dust is an unavoidable by-product of about 21,000 manufacturing plants in our country. Terrific explosions lurk in the dust of coal, cork, aluminum, cotton seed, rubber, sawdjist, sugar, starcli and spices. Many far tories have been burned to the ground by Are started by spontaneous combustion in dust accumulated deeply on rafters. The housewife, however, can go ahead baking bread and swiping dust disrespectfully after sweeping, without fear. For dust, while explosive, is hard to “set off." The thing that appeals to the scientific side of your mind is the enormous power that must be locked up in everything. Some day the stupendous power locked up in tiny atoms will be released and utilized by man. Search for this atomic power utilization is keeping many a scientist working overtime in his laboratories. For years it has been one of Sir Oliver Lodge’s main goals. The fact that flour or the dust of such things as cork and rubber contain explosive powers like dynamite suggests that a generation or two from now people may he using entirely different kinds of power than at present. For all we know, gasoline, coal and electricity may become, obsolete. their place taken by a small machine that will release the thunderbolts locked up in tiny atoms. This is visionary, but possible. Indiana Scenery The warm days create a desire to tour about and see what nature l as to offer in scenic beauty. In the minds of most Hoosiers the word scenery is associated with some far off place like Yellowstone Park, Colorado Canyon, the seacoast, Hawaiian Islands, Italy, California, etc., but those who have not heretofore known that Indiana has some very picturesque places have a pleasant surprise before them. Many of these beauty spcts are in secluded locations and are therefore not generally known. Before automobiles were used extensively tourists seldom wandered far from the railroad station. Nature has a wav of hiding her most precious loveliness far from the highways and the nature lover must show fidelity by willingness to seek her grandeur. Indiana scenery emulates on a minor scale almost everything in a scenic way offered in other States and countries.* The canyon at Tut key Run, more than a mile long, is a miniature of the great Colorado Canyon. At Clifty Falls, just outside of Madison, all the thrills and dangers of mountain climbing may he experienced in ascending and descending the high cliffs and when viewing the quaint old town of Madison from hills along the Ohio River, as ore tourist said, the panorama is much the same as when looking down from Lookout Mountain, except that the distance is not so great. One of the hotels in Madison, the oldes n the State, was built more than eighty years ago and is still being used. Evidently it was a grand and prominent place when in its prime, and no doubt the fiames of many celebrities of the past could be found on Its register. At his particular time of the year, the profusion of roses in the old town is uggestive of Oregon or California. In the wooded hills of Brown County one may occasionallysse as is common in the peasant disirict cf France —a cart drawn by oxen lumbering along, and ore could easily imagine himself in an oasis while resting under the trees in the dunes of northern Indiana. Indiana may boast of her springs at Martinsville and those at French Lick compare favorably with Hot Springs in Arkansas. Hoosiers may even taste of ocean life by stepping from Indiana soil directly on to one of the huge steamers that sail into Lake Michigan. Some of the many other places of natural beauty are Wyandotte Cave, Shades of Death, Crooked Lake. Cataract Fails, Lake James, Blue River, Tippecanoe Lake. Brandywine Creek (dear to Hoosiers because immortalized by James Whitcomb Riley), and irjfc .i other beautiful creeks, rivers and placid lakes.
Want to Bea Movie Actress? Blue Eyes May Prevent' You
Have you blue eyes? And do you want to be a picutre player ? Maybe your eyes won't let you. Moving picture directors and experienced cameramen will tell you blue eyes are "tricky." Not Infrequently a pretty miss with “movie” aspirations has her fondest hopes shattered when she faces the clicking picture cumera for a "test.” Face, figure and mannerisms all seem to prophesy a moving picture career, and to unskilled observers even the big blue eyes look promising- -but alas! the unfeeling and unsympathetic picture machine again; for often even the prettiest blue eyes refuse to "camera." Only recently, in careful search for n picture actress to play the wonderfully dramatic role of the vampire in a screen version of "A Fool There Was,” at the big William Fox west coast studios in Hollywood, one beautiful young woman, otherwise admirably suited for the part, wag eliminated because of blue eyes that would not "camera." "If the predominant color pigment in the Iris of the eye—the blue part—ls indigo, blu© eyes will camera,” says Laden Andrlot, expert clnematographist, who grinds the fast-revolving lens shutters on William Fox specials directed by Emmett J Flynn, and most recently, in the making of “A Fool There Was." ‘‘But,’* continues Mr. Andrlot, “if the pre dominating color pigment Is yellow, then blue eyes will photograph flat and be more or less without expression—depend lng upon the quantity of yellow In the blue. • "In motion pictures yellow photographs white—table linen and maid's caps and aprons used in picture tnaklDg are alwayß yellow because they register a purer white than white Itself. This explains why the yellow-blue eyes register dull and expressionless. Asa rule, dark-hair- young women with blue eyes reglttec well, for with them Indigo

is usually the dominating pigment and the eyes photograph dark. ‘,‘AVith blondes, particularly of the Scandinavian type, yellow is apt to be the underlying color iu blue eyes, although often we find a type of pure, perfect blonde with deep indigo eyes. Unless one has had years of experience in motion picture photogruphy, it Is all but impossible to tell from a casual glance whether the predominating color pigment is of the desired indigo or the deplorable yellow. The ordinary photographic lens, such as Is employed by commercial photographers, is not sufficiently penetrating to show which of the two colors dominates in blue eyes, but the lynx-eyed motion picture camera quickly ami finally decides the question. I know today several talented and • very beautiful young women, content to play small roles In the -studios, and who, bur for ‘yellow’ in their blue eyes, would be in demand by casting directors for Important leading roles, and perhaps stardom.” It was mainly because of the impor- j

Sixty per ceDt of the high schools have not more than seventy-five pupils and 75 per cent have not more than 100 pounds. A seventy-five pupil school ought not to have more than three teachers, but four teachers is a conservative average for this type of school in Indiana today.” • “One way to get on your feet,” observes the Kansas Gazette, "is to sell your motor car.” And a good way tp keep on them, one might add. is to practice the standing broad jump.

U. S. PLAYING SAFE ON GOLD RESTORATION Stabilization Program to Be Submitted at Conference in Europe. WASHINGTON, Juno 7.—While European centers seethe with financial unrest and disorder, America waits until some safe moment to jump to the fore with a program that will mean complete restoration of the gold standard over the world. America’s best card may be played at the forthcoming conclave of financial giants, who are to gather iu Europe as representatives of the world’s chief banks of issue. The Federal reserve system will be represented. It will have one of its strongest exponents in the person of Benjamin Strong, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank at New York. While certain political questions in Europe, chiefly the Russian puzzle, still force economic problems to hang in the balance, Government financial authorities believe America should step Into the situation abroad without further delay and lead the way out of financial chaos—but not through any compromise that would Involve straight-out American loans to impoverished or improvident countries that refuse to help themselves. It is the firm opinion of the fiscal experts of this Government that international trade upon a safe basis cannot be restored until the leading nations get together and put through an agreed world plan that will mean tho convertibility of currency into gold or the equivalent of gold. This Government expects on this basis to bring about a revaluation of currency in foreign countries, with the cooperation of Great Britain, Japan. France and other countries where gold Is recognized as the standard. Few recognized authorities in finance expect that the broken currenebts of some foreign powers wilt be restored to par very speedily. It is expected, though, that stabilization can be effected, and a stop will be placed on reckless printing of notes of constantly diminishing value. In all the parleys abroad financial visionaries have been doomed in their efforts to find a credit substitute for the gold standard. Foreign proponents of tho idea have abandoned their theories. There is still much doubt what will happen to the eonutries which have been swept clean of their gold by war and post war operations—by restoration of the gold standard within their borders. The United States, leading champion of the gold standard, as the custodian of' one third of the world's entire supply of, the precious metal, is now looking con- j fidontly upon the Industrial situation abroad. In that there is hope that fls.-al conditions can be righted gradually. Gr-atest confidence is aroused by the fact that th re are signs of genuine recovery from depression in a number of leading European countries. Europe Is showing
We Believe in Indianapolis Wood Paving Blocks Indianapolis now has the largest factory manufacturing wood blocks in the entire world. A roadway fifty feet wide could be built between this city and Kokomo, Xnd., with the yearly Indianapolis production of wood paving blocks*. The value of the wood blocks used in this roadway—based on the estimate of the state engineer—would exceed three and one-half million dollars. 1 Wood blocks for street paving, as well as for factory flooring, are shipped from this city to all of the principal cities in the United States.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 7.—Bernice Reddick, 20, ward of the State bureau ! of juvenile research, who several months I ago periodically lapsed into the person- , ality of “Polly, aged 4,” taking on all ! the characteristics of a small child, ia ' sufficiently recovered to be placed on tUa ! State pay roll. Bernice hasn’t changed to Polly for ! several uicuths, says Dr. Goddard, director of the bureau. Before she ceased her occasional existence, “Polly” was educated to the age of 13. Unable to read or write when she first appeared as the result of a strange lapse In Bernice's memory, “Polly” learned to do both before she ceased to appear. The baffling change in the mentality of the girl appeared almost Invariably after exertion or excitement, but she has : been doing clerical work for the bureau for several months and has been allow'd to visit briefly with relatives and there have been no recurrences. i STREET SWEEPER TO ALDERMAN Representative of Armour, Swift, in Chicago Suburb. 1 CHICAGO, June 7—Jim Gannon, & month ago, was working on the streets of the exclusive little town of Lake Forest, a suburb of Chicago, sweeping or repairing the pavements. Today ho is alderman of the Third ward of the town and is the political representative of such men as Laurence H. Armour, Louis F. Swift, Delavan Smith and John A. King, whose motor cars rumble down the winding pathways which Dot long ago were swept by I) -a lowly broom. Gannon did not slide into office on the nicely greased skids of a political machine. Far from it. He worked harder to get votes than ever he worked on the streets. William J. Quigley was the aldermanic candidate of the “regular" ticket., which was headed by Henry Rumsey, candidate for re-election as mayor and head of Rumsey & Cos., Chicago grain brokers. Gannon won over Quigley by fifty-oue votes. Now he has given-up his work on the streets.
