HARDING IN LETTER URGES SUBSIDY LAW president Virtually Asking Popular Support. CAMPAIGN SOUND Document Indicates Purpose to Avoid Dictating. Special to Indiana. Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON. June 21.—President Harding has virtually appealed to the people to let their Congressmen know the sentiment of America is whole-hearted In favor of the maintenance of the American merchant marine. The presidential word went forth In a letter to Representative Mondell, Republican House leader, In which Mr. Harding gave his full approval of the House proposal to postpone consideration of (ship subsidy legislation until Congressmen could lay the question before their constituencies. House leaders had urged upon the President a delay on the subsidy bill of at least a month, so that members, availing themselves of the summer recess, might sound out folks back home. BELIEVES PEOPEE WILL BE IN ACCORD. ‘•f cannot but belieTe the American people will be in accord," wrote the President, “If they appraise the Immediate Mft liters through our .'resent operations ■and sense the situation as it relates to r America's future. 1 believe Congressmen will return from the contact with the people confident that the merchant marine bill Is no less appealing than relief to agriculture in distress or to the railroads in their necessity." Throughout the letter the President made It plain that the Administration, although not seeking to urge the merits of the pending bill or dictating to Congress a course of action, requires speedy and definite decision on the question of American shipping. Existing conditions cannot continue, the President asserted, and if America is to remain self-contained she cannot afford to permit her fleet, badly balanced and war-built as it is, to fall into disuse. MANNER NOT INURE CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT. “There was an expression of the popular mind in 1920,” continued the letter, in a manner not nniike that of a campaign document.” the party now charged with responsibility spoke in no uncertain terms about the promotion and maintenance of an American merchant m.arine. “The question was not made paramount, but the pledge was covenanted, and it was well understood, because the people knew in a general way that vast tonnage In shipping was a Government possession as the result of war activities, and a practical Government must turn this one war ■asset to permanent, peace-time advantage.” ■ Until house leaders had made it plain ■that they feared to proceed with ship ■subsidy legislation without consulting Ffheir constituencies, the President had demanded immediate consideraBn of suosidy bill. His acquiescence in proposed brief delay, -however, does not budge him from his insistent stand that ship relief legislation should be considered at the present session. The President's reason for this is two fold: First, the Government is losing $50.OO'.OOO annually on present operation and the situation is becoming intolerable. If American shipping is to survive it must be put on anew basis and that in the immediate future. Second, it 'will be impossible to pass general legislation of the type and importance of a ship subsidy bill at the short session beginning in December. That session, at which nothing is done until after the holidays, gives Congress hardly more than two months to enact the necessary money bills. REMOVES THREAT OF EXTRA SESSION.

The letter to Representative Monde.l, which the President said was to give formal confirmation and to express the satisfaction with which he contemplated having this measure'taken directly to 'b? people, will remove, at least for the time being, any threat of an extra session of Congress for consideration of the bill. Il House members within a month or six weeks, p-roceed with the legislation, the President apparently will be satisfied. Much as be desires the passage of the bill, he insists only upon its consideration with action one way or the other, confident the word the congressmen will get from “back home," wiU cause them to enact the legislation. In summarizing the situation, the President explained the futility of the "old and worn-ont cry" against subsidy, f The people should know, he said, the j Government now was subsidizing the L merchant marine by $50,000,000 a year in the deficit in operations piled f2 by the Shipping Board. How to handle ships of the American fleet without • continual loss to the public treasury is I manifestly an important problem for disposition by Congress. Another, is the establishment of an efficient marine as an agency of commerce and an avenue of influence in peace, and on indispensable element of defense when the Nation is involved in war. "No argument is needed on the last essential other than the reminder that we tuilded our vast tonnage as a war necessity," said the President. The importance of a merchant marine to America's pretensions of being a seifcontained Republic, was emphasized by the President. •'No nation,” he said, “has ever raaintjnned enduring prominence, or abiding ijood fortune, except in proportion to its "Vseinence on the sea. It does not become us world, wiieii our righteous purposes in ’ trade are better promoted by serving our- i selves In making our tenders in the j piarts of the world.” SNARES TURTLE MARKED IN 1908 Man’s Name Still Visible— Grew Inch in 14 Years. LONDON, Ontario, Canada, June 21. j That turtles grow less than an inch in i fourteen years, has been demonstrated by J. M. Hellems of Brant County, who | in 1908 scratched his name on the shell j of a young snapper, slightly over nine i inches in length, and liberated it again iu i a drainage canal in P.urford Township. | Donld Robb.a Burford high boy, bunting for zoological rnarerial, found the turtle again, the name of Mr Hellems plainly diseernable on its shell, and found it Is now Just ten inches In length. The reptile Is an unusnal species to be found in this part of America, properly belonging to the State of Indiana. Only Sn one or two other recorded instances has it been discovered north of the Great Lakes. Possibly were this particular specimen restored to the Hoosier environment and happier climatic conditions of its ancestors, its growth might (*tiU be accelerated, according to the naturalists, who state that it is not much more thsn fifty years odi, or still in the •pen of life.

BT NORA KAY. Has the siren song of the summer which goes, “Ice cold lemonade, five cents a glass:” yet been heard In the neighborhood In which you live? If it has not. the younger generation in your part of town is less enterprising than that in Irvington, for already the youthful, but alert, young business men, by name Young, Baumgartner and O'Connor, havo erected their stand in a shady corner at Washington street and Emerson avenue and are doing a thriving business in dispensing cold drinks. According to Coiiier Young, of 5009 East Washington, president of the new lemonade distributing company, the Washington street and Emerson avenue crossing was selected as a logical business location because of the fact there are no drug stores around to lure away their trade. Then, too, young Mr. Y’onng explained, Emerson avenue carries all of the north and south traffic that goes across Washington street from Sherman drive on the west to Ritter avenue on the east, which means that there’s a prospective customer in sight at almost any minute of .tie day —and the three young members of the firm always manage to have some cue cn hand to see that no prospect goes by without hearing a persuasive sales talk that seldom fails to sell at least a 5-ceut glass. Mr. Young, being 13 years of age and the most experienced man in the firm, hving been in the business last sum-

mer, gave out most of the Information regarding the establishment of the business, its personnel, the profits that have been made thus far this season, which opened the first of last week and the plans which the members have for using the proceeds of the enterprise at the end ■of the season. According to Mr. Young, the firm started with a capital of sl, contributed by the three stockholders, the other two beiug Norbert O'Connor, 13, of 115 Bancroft avenue and Frederick Baumgartner, 12, of 27 South Emerson avenue. Mr. O’Connor is anew member of the firm, having been taken in only this season, while I'oung and Baumgertner have been in partnership in previous business ventures, but the belief of the majority of the customers seems to he that Mr. O'Connor’s winning personality and captivating freckles will overcome any handicap of inexperience. And while Mr. Baumgartner is the youngest member of the company, he is by no means the least important, for he practically controls the comifaeturlng end of the business, haring a sympathetic mother who mixes up the lemonade in the best home-made style, out of real lemons, sure-enough sugar and the best grade of Indianapolis water, according to the accepted formula for the favorite drink. “And it sells for only 5 cents a glass?” asked a thirsty patron at the stand. “That depends on the size glass yon want," explained the salesman. “The

regular size glasses are a nickel and the big ones are a dime, but they hold more than twice as much as the little ones and most everybody wants another one if rhey only get a small one, so tho big ones arc cheaper in the- end,” “You win,” said the customer. “Make It a big one.” "How much profit do you make on this, anyhow?” inquired the persuaded one, hoping to pick up a few* business pointers from one apparently well fitted to give them. "Well, it wouldn’t be good business to tell how much we make on each glass,” he explained,” but last week we cleared SB, which was s2.fid each, with 2 cents left over. At that rate we'll make S3O each in twelve weeks and.” “Buy a bicycle or an airplane or a radio?” the patron. "Not on your life,” responded all three, almost in chorus, “We’ro goin’ to put cur money in the bank and save it." Which, they say, was the way John D. Rockfeller and most of the other millionaires got their start to plutocracy. LAWRENCE VVITISE YBEKGER DIES. VINCENNES, Ind„ June 21.-Lawrence J.

EGYPT IS FREE OF CRIME WAVE, SAYS RUSSELL President of School in Egypt Tells of Conditions Pre-\ vailing There. CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, June 21.—The crime wave has not hit Egypt to the extent that it has swept over America, according to President Charles P. Russell, of Assuit College, Assult, Egypt, who visited this municipality recently. While many travelers are held up between villages, it is rarely that any one is ordered to p'ut up his hands and forced to pass over his valuables in the Egyptian cities, declared Russell, wakeh In fact, he said, it was an every-day occurrence in Egypt to see persons carrying hundreds of dollars in currency in their hands about the streets. On a tramcar, he stated, he saw a man nsk another to count money for him. The German post-war business drive is invading Assuit, Russell stated. Previously that city never was considered able to afford a piano store. Today a German firm is selling pianos there. In Cairo a barker, or street faker, edn get a crowd Instantly by crying out: “See something new that's Just from Germany.” Prices are much lower on German goods than on those from England. This, said Russell, is helping make them more popular among Mohammedan races. Russell said ordinary camera films of German make could be obtained eight cents cheaper in Europe than is asked for an American-made film. Much dissatisfaction In Syria is found with the French protectorate, Russell declared. Desiring American supervision, but unable to get it, the Syrians spurned British* help and took French, he said. It seems the Frenchmen selected for the work have met with difficulties, for today, looking across the boundary at the improvements the British are making in Palestine, Syrians, it is claimed, are Jealous and want British suzerainty. Parliament Members Smashing Traditions LONDON, June 21.—Members of Parliament aren’t following In the gourmandizing footsteps of their predecessors, according to George Willsher, manager of the Parliamentary restaurant. In the old days ipembers of Parliament were connoisseurs on food and wine, Willsher says, but the modern legislator doesn't seem to care what or when he eats.
