I laid me down and slept; I awaked: for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousand people.—Psalm 3:5-6. The Super-Six The six greatest men in history, according to H. G. Wells, are Jesus, Buddha, Asoka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon and AbrahaA Lincoln. The names are familiar to you, with the exception of Asoka. He was a king who reigned In India 2,145 years ago. Wells includes him in the super-6ix list because “he is the only military monarch on record who abandoned warfare after victory.” Roger Bacon was an English philosopher, of seven centuries ago, who delved in Black Magic. Most of his greatness is based on myth and supposition. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, might be included In the list, though he was not great enough to induce his pupil, Alexander the Great, to refrain from waging vicious wars of conquest No two people will agree on a list of the six greatest men in history. Most Americans weald exclude Jesus, believing him a divinity instead of a man. What list do you nominate? In compiling It, keep in mind that real greatness depends on service to humanity. The most important thing in civilization is the home. And most housewives, after thinking about it, will agree that the most important service to the home was the invention of the cooking stove and its big brother, the heating furnace. No one knows who invented them. But the honor of conceiving the fundamentals of the modern form goes to Benjamin Franklin. Viewed from modern standards, it Is probable that several of history’s six greatest men are living today. Marconi, inventor of wireless, belongs in the list. We live too close to the crude, pioneering, early stages of his Invention to conceive of the tremendous importance it will play in the life of our remote descendants. If people live on Mars or other bodies out in bpace, they will get in touch with us only by radio. Breaking man’s earth shackles and putting him In touch with far-off space would place the inventor of radio in every list of the great The Wright brothers, who flew the first airplane and opened the way for man’s conquest of the air and distance, are among history's greatest Einstein also belongs on the list, for he is the forerunner of man’s thinking in terms of four dimensions instead of three. And how about Watt inventor of the steam engine, without which the railroads would not have been built? At the tip-top of the list should be Gutenberg or the other man. an unknown Chinese, who invented printing from movable type. Nine-tenths of our progress—physical, intellectual and spiritual—is due to printing. Science and Morals The claim of scientists that morality is not a matter for religious control is a play upon word& There is no reason why science should not continue to investigate the .natural history of morals, sim V.taneously with tthe exercise of moral powers by the clergy. Scientists are too rigidly [bound by logic. When science denies morality Is an undeviating law, given to mankind by the Creator, it talks a language not understood by common sense. Materialistic scientists wish to destroy spiritual faith by making morals local to the earth. They are entangled by the very nature of their argument Morality, they say,, is only a human attribute. But what is a human being? The presence of a moral order in the universe is as mysterious as the presence of life itself; . Cloistered reasoning is deceptive. Whoever bo studies life will find in'morals an element directing self-development for other than earthly business.

Suckers or Savers! ♦ Two full-page advertisements come to our attention. Both point the way to wealth—so they say. One advises you to “make the money you work for, work for you.” The advertiser is the United States Government. It offers you U. S. Treasury Becui-ities. “In only five years your ISO becomes $100,” the advertisement says. Not a very quick way to get rich, to be sure, but a good way to get richer surely. The other advertisement is in an oil Journal. “Ten chances at a fortune," it romlses. “Our 50 per cent dividend proves our plan to be a sure winner.” Think of that —your SBO becomes $l2O right off the bat, MAYBE!

Whan the peasant Mabey was shot dead while poaching on the domain of the great noble of Brittany, the MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZTR. a ehudder of horror went through the sensitive spirit of PHILIPPE DE VILMORIN. a young divinity student, who was a believer in the democratic doctrines which underlay the Vraoch Revolution. Philippe s determination to secure justice meets with little encouragement from his triend. ANDRE-LOUIS MOREAU, a young and brilliant lawyer, who is popularly believed to be the son of QUENTIN DE KERCADIOD. Lord of Gavrillac. Andre-Louis looks with cynicism on the new political doctrines, but agrees to accompany Philippe and put the case before de Kercadlou. The Marquis was closeted with the Lord of Gavrillac when they arrived. Philippe goes to join the two nobles and Andre-Louis talks to the young and beautiful ALINE DE KERCADIOU. He Is horrified when the girl tells hun that the Marquis has come to ask her unde for her hand in marriage. Alins drew back from Andre-Louis ft little, with a frown and an upward tilt of her chin. "It surprises you?” "It disgusts me,” said he. bluntly. "In fact, I don't believe It.” For a moment she put aside her visible annoyance to remove his doubts. "I am quite serious, monsieur. There came a formal letter to my uncle this morning from M. de I.a Tour d'Azyr, announcing the visit and its object.” "And will It suit you to be dutiful If your uncle accepts this monstrous proposal?" - - - ‘‘Monstrous:’*. She bridled. "And why monstrous. If you please?" "For a score of reasons,” he answered, irritably. "Give me one," she challenged him. "He is forty-five at least." "But he looks no more than thirty.

It is settled, then? Your uncle is to agree? You are to be sold thus, lovelessly. Into bondage to a man you do not know. I had dreamed of better things for you, Aline.” "You are indelicate,” said she, and though she frowned her eyes laughed. "My uncle will not consent to more than allow my consent to be sought. I am not to be bartered like a turnip." "You have been torturing me to amuse yourself:" be cried. "Ah. well, I forgive you out of my relief." "Again you go too fast, Cousin Andre. I like the look of the gentleman. M. le Marquis does not look as If he were a dullard. It should be interesting to be wooed by him. It may be more interesting still to marry him. and I think, when all Is considered, that I shall probably—very probably —deckle to do so.” "God help you. Aline'.” he groaned.

INSPIRATION

By BERTON BRALEY. I SAT at my desk by the window And gassed at the busy street, And I saw grim Tragedy limping by And Victory, and Defeat: And Age aweary and Youth aglow And love that is blithe sweet. AND a breeze blew In at my window And whispered of restless seas. While a street piano twanged a sheaf Os rollicking melodies. And I said to myself, ”1 will make a song From lyrical things like these!” (( T7IOB. there Is the k* hole great earth fi without And the busy and surging throng. And there is a lay in each sight and eound To make me a lovely song. So it's easy enough for a bard to sing Os Use as It moves along." SO I sat at my desk by the window While the world passed by outside. And I started a dozen different song 9 But my Pegasus balked and shied; And the net result is this ballad here— But you gotta admit I tried! —Copyright. 1922, NEA Service.

Harding Acts To Avert Acute Crisis In Coal

By ROBERT .1. BENDER. United News Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, June 27.—President Harding, confronted with the cold fact that America’s great coat reserves are being so rapidly depleted that her Industries, Including the railroads. will haye wiped them out with in from seven to ten weeks, is preparing to terminate, if possible, the dangerous situation. The railroads reveal on Monday night their total stocks on hand ; amounted to less than 7,000,000 tons, against which they are drawing at | the rate of 145,000 tons daily, and | indicating within seven weeks their ! reserves will be wiped out. 1,1,000,000 Tons Surplus A relatively acute situation faces all other Industries, which are estii mated to have at their disposal how only about 15,000,000 tons In surplus j stocks. With approy'mately 5.000,000 i tons of coal being mined weekly, the I drain on the surplus by all industries i has amounted to approximately 3,500,- ! 000 tons a week throughout the strike. Monday brought Harding’s first | move to meet the approaching crisis through an extended conference with Secretary of Labor Davis and President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America. The President went more into the general situation of the bituminous Industry, particularly with regard to: 1. Overdevelopment of the Industry with Us excessive number of mining operations. 2. The excessive number of men employed. 3. The Intermlttency anil Inadequacy of employment for miners. Stabilizing of Industry. The conference developed the fact that the President is primarily concerned with the question of stabilizing the bituminous Industry as a whole. Mine worker officials voice objection primarily because they are opposed to Government control. They insist upon the following course. 1. The President to set a date for a joint conference of coal operators and miners’ officials and notify representatives of both that he v ill expect them to be present. 2. This conference to sit until It terminates the present situation. 3. Once the present strike Is disposed of. Congress to pass legislation creating a commission with full pw r to subpoena witnesses and records of both sides to the end of making an j investigation that will get down to jthe’ fundamentals of the whole prob- ! lem. HARDINGS _ GOING HOME WASHINGTON, June 27.—President and Mrs. Harding are going back home to spend the Fourth of July. Preparations are going forward at 1 the White House for the return to Marlon, the first visit since the President entered the White House. The occasion Is the 100th anniversary of the founding of Marlon.

I hope I shall know my place in future.” The phrase arrested her. She turned to him again, and he perceived that her eyes were shining now suspiciously. In an Instant the mockery in him was quenched in contrition. "Lord, what a boast I am, Aline!” he cried, as he advanced. "Forgive me if you can.” They were standing so. confronting each other a little breathlessly, a lit tie defiantly, when the others Issued from the porch. First came the Marquis of La Tour d’Azyr, Count of Solz, Knight of the Orders of the Holy Chost and Sa nt Louis, and brigadier in the armies of the King. He was a tall, graceful man, upright and soldierly of car riage, with his head disdainfully set upon his shoulders. He was magnificently dressed In a full-skirled coat of mulberry velvet that was laced with gold. His waistcoat, of velvet, too, was of a golden apricot color, his breeches and stockings were of black silk, and his lacquered, redheeled shoes were buckled in diamonds. His powdered hair was tied behind In a broad ribbon of watered silk; he carried a little three-cornered hat under his arm, and a gold hilted slender dress-sword hung at his side. He was Immediately followed by M. de Kercadlou, In complete contrast. On legs of the shortest, the Lord of Gavrillac carried a body that at forty-five was beginning to incline to corpulence and an enormous head containing an indifferent allotment of intelligence. After M. de Karcadiou came M. de Vilmorin, very pale and self-contained, with tight lips and an overcast brow. To meet them, there stepped from the carriage a very elegant young gentleman, the Chevalier le Chabrillane, M. de La Tour d’Azyr's cousin, who whilst awaiting his return had watched with considerable interest — his own presence unsuspectel—the perambulations of Andre-Louis and mademoiselle. Perceiving Aline, M. de La Tour d’Azyr detached himself from the others, and lengthening his stride came straight across the terrace to her. The Marquis took the hand that mademoiselle extended to him, and bowing over it. bore it to his lips. "Mademoiselle,” he said, looking into the blue depths of her eyes, that met his gaze smiingly anl untroubed, unce does me the honthat. 1 pay my ho mag" to

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Home in ‘Erstwhile Susan '

'....■' j|n| v ' *' - : 'sss&&%

ELIZABETH PATTERSON. Elizabeth Patterson, after trooping about in the Important cities with Billie Burke In Booth Tarklngton’s “Intimate Strangers," arrived “home” last night at the Murat.

The black crepe of the undertaker did not cause Juliet Miller Dreary to discard her flapper appearing feminine attire In “honor’’ of the death of her husband, Emanuel Dreary, whom she landed through a matrimonial agency. Juliet, otherwise known ns “Erstwhile Susan,” advanced the theory' shortly after the death of Emanuel that light and gay colors were more suited to her than undertaker’s black. Oh, Juliet was a modern woman who, admitting that woman might be the “weaker sex,” was never-the-loss the "master of her own soul.” She married not for love, but to lift a ' human clod” Into the sunlight of life. The "clod’’ In this instance was Barnabetta Dreary, the kitchen drudge of a daughter of Emanuel Dreary of a Mennonite community of the Pennsylvania Dutch. | These Are a few of the situations which Marion De Forest has woven into a delicate comedy with brains, called “Erstwhile Susan.” Mrs. Flsko used this vehicle several seasons ago and last night Elizabeth Patterson, long a favorite here, appeared In this comedy as her opening part with the Stuart Walker Company this season. Miss Patterson seemed to Vie the real Juliet Miller, an Independent woman who loved romance and In- ; dlviduality. She caught the spirit I of the author, the result being at j least for two acts a little masterpiece In delicate comedy acting. There were flowers from the audience and several kisses from Miss Patterson tossed in the direction of the ; audience, all tending to make Elizabeth Patterson night at the Murat a night of nights. Again we have finished comedy acting revealed by Miss Patterson. —W. IL I).

you. Will you, mademoiselle, do me the honor to receive me when I come tomorrow? I shall have something of great Importance for your ear.” “Os Importance, M. la Marquis? Tou almost frighten me.” "That,” said he, "la very far from me design." “You whet my curiosity, monsieur; and, of course, I am a dutiful niece. It follows that I shall bo honored to receive you.” "Not honored, mademoiselle; you will confer the honor. Tomorrow at this hour, then, I shall have the felicity to wait upon you." CHAPTER 111 As they walked down the hill together, Andre-Louis was talkative. He had chosen Woman as a subject for his present discourse. He claimed—quite unjustifiably—to have discovered Woman that morning; and tho things we had to say of the sex were unflattering, and occasionally almost gross. Opposite the Breton Arme—tho Inn and posting-house at the entrance of the village of Gavrillac —M. de Vilmorin interrupted his companion Just as he was soaring to the dizziest heights of caustic invective, and An-dre-Louis observed the carriage of M. de La Tour d’Azyr standing before the door of the hostelry. "I have an appointment here with M. le Marquis. He desires to hear me further in the matter," said Philippe. Into a room on the right, rendered private to M. le Marquis for so long as he should elect to honor It, the young men were ushered by the host. A fire of logs was burning brightly at the room's far end, and by this sat now M. de La Tour d’Azyr and his cousin, the Chevalier de Chabrillane. “You oblige me by your prompt courtesy M. de Vilmorin," said the Marquis, but In a tone so cold as to belle the politeness of his word3. “A chair, I beg. Ah, Moreau?” The note was frigidly interrogative. "He accompanies you monsieur?" he asked. "If you please, M. le Marquis.” "Why not? Find yourself a scat, Moreau.” “It is good of you, monsieur," said Philippe, "to have offered me this opportunity of continuing the subject that took me so fruitlessly, as it happens, to Gavrillac.” (Continued Ip Our Next Isa tie.) (Ctrir-rl-U 103=.)

“YANKEE DOODLE” TO BE OPERA “Yankee Doodle” may be done as grand opera. Why not? That was the question Deo Flanders of Flanders and Butler asked himself. He saw no reason why It could not be done so he dressed up the good old song as grand opera. He is playing it as opera this week at B. F. Keith’s while Miss Geneve Butler sings it In Galli Curd style. The Idea is going over big this week. Ice skating may lead to the fountain of youth as this sort of exercise seems to keep Bobby McLean, a champion skater, In the pink of condition. Will H. Armstrong and Maudie appear In a sketch called “A Ten-Thou-sand Dollar Ankle.” Moran and Mac, remembered In The Follies some years ago, are again handing out many laughs with their quaint patter. Yes, the soft shoe dance is retained In the routine this season. Grant and Wallace start out like a musical act, but wind up as acrobats. -I- -I- -ICOMEDY IN A RAILROAD STATION. There even is comedy and melody in a railroad station if one desires It. Such Is the case with the Terminal Four, a comedy male quartette, now at the Lyric. Tho action takes place In a railroad station. "The Garden of Melodies'* presents five young women who play a number of musical Instruments. Robb and Whitman offer an act which they call “Back to School Days.” This team Is offering the familar "school kid stuff” with some fairly good songs added. Lucky and Harris, a male team, offer comedy patter and parody songs. Waters and Leo are wire walkers who open the bill. Fhey are fast workers. An act called "Ohio Supreme” has the services of a woman who Bings and three female dancers. The dancers are young and talented. The settings and costumes are pretentious. The best number is a Dutch song and dance. At the Lyric all week. -1- -I- -1HOME MADE SONGS ARE HITS. Two Indianapolis made songs, "Count the Days” and “Sweet Mama,” the former by Harry Bason and Jack Tllson and the latter by Billie Wagner, are being featured at the Rialto Theater this week, in connection with “Paris Flirts.” A musical comedy. Tho bill this week is changed some what from the usual routine, a de tectlve affair being staged. A large chorus Is still a feature of the show. In an effort to help Cupid, the Rialto management are offering to finance, from the license to flowers, any couple who will be married at the theater next Friday night.

THE REFEREE BY ALBERT APPLE. RADIO Marconi predicts that the best radio equipment of today will be obsolete In ten years, possibly sooner. What will the future be? Wireless has extended man's sense of hearing, thousands of times the distance a sound can be r***iHh heard by the ear without J* the aid of Hertzian waves'' Soon radio will be ex- \ 9 tending the sense of sight, \ -?iM by radio movies. *1 Will it also extend other ' senses, notably the sense APPLE, of smell? Will the man in a city office be able, by radio, to smell the fragrance of meadows and woods? It Is not Impossible, save that civilized man has almost lost the sense of smell. PROSPERITY Important news, for all who work. The railroads announce that In the week ended June 10 they loaded 846,002 cars of freight. This was 38,797 cars more than In the corresponding week of 1919, during the big boom. The gain would be around 100,000 cars. Instead of 38,797, if coal were moving normally instead of being held back by the strike. Many are wondering if a business boom really is coming. Coming? It Is here now, in many Industries. And It Is not a false alarm. WORK Frank McManamy, traffic expert, finds that the railroads have 334,000 freight cars and 13,128 locomotives In “bad order’’ —that is, laid up for repairs. Getting this crippled rolling stock Into good shape again will provide jobs for many thousands of men. In every branch of our economic system we have “bad order” equip-ment-building and repairs needed. Everything wears out. Repairing or replacing It is what brings prosperity. The momentum of prosperity is generated In hard times. SCHOOLS Our educational system is not yet practical enough, though better than it was years ago. One proof of this: Thousands of high school girls and boys are seeking work in vacation. Ask them, “What have you beeen trianed to do?” Most of them answer, “Nothing.” “Can you dance'” “Can I? Hot dog!”

A man lay critically 111 of pneumonia, but the nurse kept assuring him that he would recover. The consultant entered the wand and, after a thorough examination of the man, pointed out to his students the symptoms which made recovery’ highly improbable. The nurse, an Irish woman. plain and middle aged, but with a reputation for pulling through almost hopeless cases, noted a change come over the patient as he heard the verdict. When the chief left, she sat down beside the man and. taking his hand in hers, talked to him as a mother would talk to a little child, trying to restore his hope and fighting courage. But the man lay listless. A little later. In the ward office, the nurse urged tho chief —he was one of the greatest of his day; “Go back and tell that man he can get well! You have killed his hopes! Lie if you must, but make him believe he can get well!” The chief looked at her steadily a moment and said, "You are right, 1 will.” A few moments later he returned to the ward with another physician who. going over the case, said he believed such and such things would tide over the condition, and sitting down beside the patient, told him he expected to save him, but not without his cooperation, and he patiently proceeded to rekindle the hope of recovery In the man. He did get well, and the chief told his students that the recovery was due wholly to the nurse’s skill. She did not know she was using psy chology; she only knew she was using sense.
