A BACHELOR Is a man who had no auto when he was young. PEOPLE who sleep on sleeping porches should get up first. IT BEGINS to look as though Lenin is not as bad as a lot of people hoped he was. THEY ARE selecting the twelve greatest women in America. Any June groom knows one. WHAT'S iff a name? A Georgia girl named Lotta Cheek has won a national beauty contest. THOSE quakes are about the only shock St. Louis has had in many years—and they were 1,500 miles away. OUT OF twenty-one Americans presented at court in England not one forgot and said, “Good morning. Judge.” A BRIDAL couple may escape the old shoes and rice by stealing away in an airplane—but they don't always live happily ever after. IRELAND may be compared to Cuba, but the American army of pacification in Cuba and the British army of pacification in Ireland met totally different receptions. TWO MEN have been seriously injured by a Nebraska posse se- king a kidnaper. It is a question whether the fugitive or the posse at large Is the greater menace. MAYOR SHANK has shown commendable wisdom in not adding to his duties by attempting to regulate women’s attire —for instance, in not entering the lists against knickerbockers. The Used Goods Business Continued revelations of th- method of disposal of surplus war material through the agency of the Indiana highway commission show a disregard for the law and regulations on the part of both the F- drnal and State bureaus involved. In the first place, the bureau of rea ls, under the Department of Agriculture, violates the law that directed the Secretary of War t.* turn over surplus stocks to the Department of Agriculture which were "suitable for use in the improvements of highways." And presumably the War Department is the original transgressor for turning over ar’k-ies not "suitable for use." By no stretch of the kr.3gina*' a con'd such tier gs as balloon winches, trench spades, khaki cloth, bicycfi sand refrigerators be con.-true ! as proper implements with which to t ti'd i ads yet thousands of dollars’ worth of these things have be* n ship; -••: * end the ichway enmiriL-'lon has paid the freight bill totaling thousands c ’ dollars. In the second place, the commission, having received this material through a strange conception of sir, wav needs in Indiana maintained by Federal officials, has no right to dispose of he unavailable material. Under Federal regulations the only thing the highway commission can do with the surplus war material sent here is to use it until it is useless and then auction it off for junk to the highest bidder. Stock, valueless for road purposes, might be considered junk by r. libera! interpretation of this regulation, but even then there is noth:: that would permit a private sale. That the public has not been incited •<-> participate in the sal* of useless goods is demonstrated by a gian ~r the highway commission records, which disclose that one junk dealer ha obtained $30,119.79 worth of material out of a total sale of $35.263.14 in seven weeks. The officials under whose direction these sales were made should explain to the public why one man has been permitted to have a monopoly on Government surplus goods, while other dealers either have been denied a similar privilege or have not been made aware of the ; argons. The head of the highway commission raak s a poor defense when he asserts that he must accept whatever the bureau of roads elects to send him for fear of punitive retaliation that would halt the shipment of material badly neede 1. It is difficult o conceive of a department of goxeminent, either Federal or State, that would adopt retaliatory methods such as those implied. The Indiana highway commission has a big task on Its hands in building and maintaining roads, and is performing creditably. Its officials have no time to embark in the second-hand business, nor should it be male the agency throuch which the Department of Agriculture is allowed to dispose of a lot of surplus war material. The Federal Government should handle Its used goods business in its own way and the highway commission should he permit! and to give its entire attention to roads. There is too much waste, too nuu h temptation, too much of a chance that somethin? will go awry, for the present method to he continued.

A New Era in Japan Those who have displayed unfeigned fear over the growing military power of Japan will find their apprehension allayed by Admiral Baron Kato's acceptance of the premiership. He represents and is the leader of the element in the island empire that believes in commercial penetration and expansion by peaceful rather than by for-eful means. One of the qualities that commend Admiral Kato to the United States especially is the fact taat he headed the Japanese delegation to the Washington conference and was one of the signatories to the naval limitations Treaty. His assumption cf the premiership will mean Japan’s strict adherence to the terms of that pact—an adherence that, it is doubtful if Japan would have maintained under the old military regime that has given way to the new statesmanship. Admiral Kato is one of the strong men of the island. He cr-ated the naval expansion idea that “placed his country among the rankin' sea powers, and now to demonstrate his sincere desire for peace he is in favor of ending the armament race and wrecking the navy along with the other nations that signed Jthe treaty. He has become convinced, according to Tokio dispatches, that Japan's pace in the armament race was slowly leading it toward bankruptcy, and he is going to devote himself to building up Japanese economic and trade resources, rather than expending his country’s energy in a mad military competition. Aviation Still in Its Infancy The failure of Eddie Riekcnbaeker, America’s premier ace, to complete a transcontinental flight from New York to San Francisco and his comment that ‘there is not a piano in the United States lilted to make such a long tour,” demonstrates that there is still much to be done in the field of research and mechanical engineering before long-distance aerial trips can become successful. Captain Rickenbacker declared the plane he started In was the nearest approach to perfection, "and it fell short.” “I am through with commercial aviation for the time being.” he said, and continued his trip to the coast via rail. Many long distance flights have been made successfully, but more have failed. ‘On man negotiated a non-stop aerial journey across the Atlantic, but others who essayed the trip either came to grief or made it in comparativeiv easy stages that allowed frequent stops for repairs. Transcontinental aviation cannot be said to be uccessful until an airplane can depart from one coast with readable ass ranee of reaching the ct*.: Yithu’tt unnecessary delays or repairs.

EVEN THE ELEPHANT AT KEITH’S IS A MIDGET Thin Ice Often Cracks—Blanco Makes Sleeping a Pleasure

Ton can't tell the age of an elephant by its size or the wrinkles in the hide. The elephant with Sternad’s Midget-/ may be a "baby elephant,” but tbe n rinklos seem to Indicate that he is an aged midget. And there are twelve clever little people, known as midgets, who are frolicking on the stage of 15. F. Keith’s Theater this week. These little people in addition to a "wee” elephant and some well trained ponies are being presented under the title of Sternad’s Midgets. I think I am correct in stating that this act Is the largest and the most expensive act ever offered at Keith’s as a summer vaudeville attraction. I don’t knew what this act costs nor do I care, but I am sure of one thing that Si**rltad’s Midgets Is the kind of an act which increases one's confidence In popular priced vaudeville. Let me make flits remark right now before I forget It : If an Indianapolis father doesn’t take his children to this carnival of fun at Keith’s this week I am ready to recommend to Judge Collins of the Criminal Court that he put the grand jury to \\--rk to find the "lm attest man in the world " Here Is an act which will cause the children to veil with delight. The ehlldrcu hit. -anted yesterday while l was it) tbe lonise reviewing the show. Keith’s is going to be a children s para disc this week as far as Steruad's Mid go’s are concerned. The act is nicely staged and the little people present a "full grown rev e The midgets rid-- the ponies, one is trainer of the little elephant, two ... • good modern ballroom dancers, one midget is a cute littio to*- darner, two arfunny downs, one little miss is a comb mind reader the truth Is that every member of the organization is talented Such acts as S’eru.-td ■> Midgets elevates the vauit.die stage and justifies the name of vaudeville.

Paul Conchas, Jr., does some difficult Juggling stunts. Ho is assisted by- a pantomime comedian who Is really funny. An act termed ‘Shadowettes” opens the bill with something new In shu4°'wgraphy.

They’re wearing ’em longer at r.avenswood —at least they will if the town marshal enforces the laws printed in bold black letters on big yellow carls and posted on al! the big trees along the beach. Paris, of course, has been trying to get them down for some time, Indianapolis has declared that a fewextra inches would not be amiss, on a miss—or Mrs., eitli-r. But it remained for Ravenswood actually to adopt an anti short slfirt regulation which says that "all skirts of bathing suits must extend fourteen inches below the hips.” Os course, it all depends on where your hips are just how long your skirt Avilf have to be, which may bring about the discovery that, in rids tmcottfined age, if la a difficult matter t" know- xvh.-re the waistline ends and the b p begin-*, but the question hits to be tl*-.J somehow, declare the Ravensw• and authorities", even If t’e* town marshal has to measure pers-q ally aeii .-it,-’ every unit (No nptpliea! ot - for lb - in-, s-iai's Job will fie cotisfii.-red, either, it is understood i.
