Last year America, through the Near East Relief agency, sent more than 1,000 tons of wearables to the Belgium of the near east. This year the clothing sent from this country will protect thousands from suffering and save hundreds of children from freezing to death during the coming winter. Every fire station jn the city and nearly all the churches will be opened as receiving stations tomorrow. Clothing of every kind is acceptable. It is our opportunity to give expression to the greatest of the three virtues. '' \ Kinks of the Law Walter S. Ward, who Is very rich, shot and killed Clarence Peters, who was very poor, on a lonely road in Westchester County, New York. He himself says he killed Peters, and nobody is disputing him. But, according to the best legal minds of Westchester County, Ward is technically innocent of homicide, manslaughter or murder in its various interesting degrees, and never will be convicted for the crime he admits. Ward’s attorneys solemnly point out that the only evidence that their J client killed Peters is their client’s own statement You can’t convict a, man out of his own mouth- Furthermore, they explain, if the state ao- 1 cepts Ward’s confession to the murder, it must also accept the second | part of the story, tn which Ward relates a weird tale of blackmailing and self-defense, which is as unsubstantiated as the first part of the yarn. The law moves in a mysterious way its wonders to perform. Bloodless Surgery * Herbert Atkinson Barker, who has practiced bloodless surgery, without a medical education, for many years in England, has just been knighted. The orthodox practitioners in Great Britain are protesting against the honor conferred on the "outlaw." Dr. Axham, a qualified physician, possessing a medical degree, was recently expelled from the register of practitioners for assisting at the Barker operations. The British medical profession refuses to reinstate him. Yet, Sir Herbert Barker has treated successfully great numbers of j cases —said to aggregate forty thousand —without recourse to the knife. He works principally on derangements of knee cartilages, flat foot and other joint abnormalties. His method is to manipulate the injuries with his hands, and so the term “manipulative surgery," as distinct from knife •urgery, has come Into being. ..... ’ Sir Herbert s triumphant vindication ought to be a warning that life cannot be made to go for long by rules. It Is well to safeguard surgical and medical professions from quacks. But, a way should be left open for genius to travel, and for new methods to be tested on their merits. Borrowing Money Rich men play different systems. John D. Rockefeller has been quoted as attributing his wealth to his ability at borrowing money. Henry Ford doesn’t believe in borrowing. t:The Ford Motor Company originally was capitalized at SIOO,OOO. Only about $28,000 of this was subscribed in cash. That was the only money that ever went Into Ford’s business from the outside. Additions to the operating capital have been created by the Ford business—taken from profits. Three years ago, Edael Ford bought out the minority stockholders. They had 41H per cent of the Ford stock, for which Edsel paid ‘‘about 75 millions,” according to Henry Ford, writing in McClure’s Magfizlne. In other words, an original investment of $11,620 sold for $75,000,000. Ford climbed to success without borrowing much. How to make money. It is oonfusing, with Ford advising against going into debt. Rockefeller advising borrowing. Back of this is an important “hunch” for Mr. Average Man. The hunch Is this: There is no cut-and-dried rule for accumulating wealth. A method or system that will work in one industry or situation ▼ill fail financially in another.--No two problems are exactly the same. Nor have any two problems the same solution. Most of us are imitators. 'We select a successful man as our ideal — and try to duplicate his system. Failure i3 inevitable when we back the wrong system. Don’t hitch your wagon to the wrong star.

Praises Dawes’ Economy But Doubts Real Saving

To tile Editor—"Charlie’’ Dawes is to be congratulated for his nine months’ work at the helm of the budget. Asa result of his work the l Government has been able to save I nearly $2,000,000,000, which, otherI wise, would have been spent. It bought to be gratifying to the taxRpayers to hear this, but it is doubtX'd if the saving will have effects Cpther than the original appeal which suits from hearing “$2,000,000,000 ” saved." With General Dawes’ immense saving there has been a corresponding improvement in the service of tho different departments which "suffered” from the budget director's parsimonious knife. After all, the point which really counts is the elevation of Government efficiency. TAXPAYER. To the Editor: Is there any significance in what seems to be the general tendency of publishers to abbreviate news stories which appear, in particular, in your paper? I am not totally fond of the shortened versions of events which appeal to me as being of vast journalistic value. I have noticed no less than a dozen of the foremost papers of the country and all of them seem to be “cramming” the facts. For myself, I appreciate the literary element of a well written story and rather object to seeing it pruned to pieces. As news facts are published today they are so simply told, which may be a virtue 'if you are ' WELL BRED You do nut ask a young man to call upon you after the casual first meettog unless you have discovered common interests and are very sure that he desires the privilege.

TO the Editor: In Friday’s Times "Another Traveler” takes issue with "Commuter” on the rights and privileges of the Indianapolis public on interurban cars within the city limits. His opening paragraph is quite logical, but in the second and last he sums up by stating that if an Irvington man wishes to -ide to and from his work on a T. H., I. & E. car It ought to be at the same rate those from outlying cities have to pay. I heartily agree with him in this. The commuter pays 3 cents a mile (15 cents to Sheridan Ave.) and stands up, while Mr. Irvington Citizen, paying 1 cent a mile, hogs the plush-covered seat.

It is a \'Si Mr w * so move, dovetailing in | \ with similar work carried | on in America, j ' ** Birds are the , antidotes APPLE *°r Insects, which yearly destroy a Dilllon dollars | worth of our crops and forests, according to Dr. Fred J. Seaver, expert on insects. Man has conquered the wild beasts. Our greatest remaining enemy is insect life, now battling us for supremacy on earth. Birds, the natural enemies of insects, also are destructive. But they are enjoyable, not pets. ENDURANCE No gypsy moths in our country until 1869, when a few of them were imported for experiments in the cross-breeding of silkworms. A couple escaped and multiplied into a frightfully expensive insect pest. Insects have far greater powers of endurance and multiplication than any other form oil life. Compared with them, man is a feeble weakling. Physically, before the forces of nature, we are poor machines. Our supremacy and endurance are duo to intelligence, the most powerful force employed by any form of life. Brain development Is many times more important than developing the muscles.

I-e Vino, one of the leading “professionals.’’ He thinks the amateurs j are wasting their time.

COPS The word “cop” originated in London, from the initials ot, “constable of police." This interesting bit of information comes from Enright, New York City’s police commissioner. Enright has ..12,000 policemen under him, 1,000 being traffic cops, i The other 11,000 guard 7,000,000 | people and $10,000,000,000 of treasure. This probably is an average for ! the nation, on which basis each American policeman keeps an eye on 636 people andi $910,000. They are not infallible,, but. they do a lair-, ly good job of it, considering the ground they oover. WAGES Men who drill wells for oil work long hours. A Government check-up shows that drillers average nearly seventy-four hours a week at $1.14 an hour. Tool dressers average seventynine hours at 93 cents au hour. Despite these long hours, you hardly ever hear of labor troubles in the oil country. The pay has something to do with It. Coupled with this is a reasonable probability of "getting into business for themselves." No trouble getting any one to work when there is sufficient inducement.

PerJf , haps you will hear jjv*L /wt-g 1 that terrible cry I once or twice this Bummer - It Is a siknal to scurry 'PH . days,” of summer, bH everybody fears a gjUPi "mad dog." Yet rabies or hydrooften follows the bite of a "mad" or rabid dog is just as "dangerous in winter as during the hot season. For rabies, contrary to popular opinion, is an all-the-year-round disease. The germ that causes rabies Is present in the saliva of a rabid animal and enters the body of another animal or human being through a bite or break in the skin. Generally the disease develops within from fifteen to ninety days in man, though it has been known to develop as early as ten days and as late as a year or more after the Infecting bite. To guard against the danger of rabies, every one should know the symptoms. There are nine which may easily be recognized, by the layman. They are (1) sudden change In disposition; (2) unusual nervousness or irritability; (3) tendency to leave home; (4) change in voice to a hoarse bark or husky growl: (5) difficulty in swallow ing, particularly fluid food; (6) tendency to snap or bite without provo cation; (7) weakness or paralysis of the legs or lower jaw; (8) an increased How of saliva; (9) the desire to swallow abnorml substances such as wood, stones, etc. If a dog has bitten any one; don’t hasten to shoot the offending animal, but look it up in order that a diagnosis may be made. As the first stage of the disease progresses a dog will scarcely touch its favorite food ot will refuse to swallow it even after having it- in the mouth.' Later it will reject all food, but chew objects within Its reach' arid swallow them if possible; i Cauterization of the wound and the Pasteur treatment are de signed to prevent the developtrfant of the disease after being bitten, but should be undertaken only under the supervision of a competent physician.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—Uncle Sam’s water-power fortune Is one item in the public domain which the “interests” did not gobble up before your trustee, the Government, arrived on the job to look after your afI fairs. The Constitution gave the Government exclusive control over the headwaters of navigable streams. That clause Jp now a gold mine to the public. Eighty-five per cent, of the water power resources of the United States can bo controlled by the Government, under that clause. Their potential strength is estimated at 54,000,000 horse-power. That’s enough to light every incandescent bulb now, with one-third left over. In addition to this, there is a lot more horse power In Alaska.

‘Our Leading Citizen ’ Leads Current Movie Offerings

- By WALTER D. HICKMAN. , Corking good entertainment—that’s my verdict on George Ade’a special movie yam, "Our Leading Citizen.” It is chuck full of the genuine Hoosier-Ade humor which made —"The College Widow” and “The County Chairman" successes on the stage. Ade knows how to poke fun at the "big boys” in Washington, and does In "Our Leading Citizen." This Ade story is the nearest approach to the actual reflecting of "small town life” In America that I have bumped into in years of covering the stage and the screen. It Is crowded full of real homespun humor. Ade’s Daniel Bent—ley is a small town gem. He is on ppeaking terms with every grasshopper, in. Winfield. Dan has many clients "both in jail and at liberty." His clients have no mpney, but tons of trouble. But Dan has a real American backbone in him when he decides to wake up. That la where Ade's humor is at its best. The Paramount people decided the oast should contain the right types. The cast Is a Joy because It contains Thomas Me!Khan as Dan. Lois Wilson as Katherine Fendle, Theodore Roberts, a small town political Juggler who hasn’t much time for religion unless it helps the political game; William P. Carleton and others. This Ado story is trie real goods, it is more than a good movie, it is the comedy knockout of the year, i doubt If Ade can do another special story for the screen which will compare with this gold mine of real laughs and chuckle, -

Ade’s Political Insight In "Our Leading Citizen,” Ade has a political insight which is true to life, although he sees the funny aide ! of the problem. I am told that Ade and Meighan worked together on the story at Ade’s Hoosier farm in the northern ! part of the State. It even has the I fragrance of the corn and the clover. ! Even the old flshln’ hole looks like i the best Hoosier spot in the world. Ade talks to Americans in their own language. The episodes of “Our Leading Citizen” showing the congressional campaign fight between the old line statesman and the n*w one who goes fishing between talks embrace great j satire. ! "Our Leading Citizen” is on view j at the Apollo all week. -i- -i- •!• ; The Horse Is the Thing Every novel does not make a good i photoplay. | Zan Grey some time ago wrote a novel which he called "Wildfire’ and I realizing the value of the author's | name on the screen, Goldwyn made a ! movie of it under the title of “When | Romance Rides.” ! The movie director probably thought j the sight of a heroine strapped to the ! hack of a wild Western horse dashing | toward a cliff would give the neces- | sary “punch” to an otherwise tamo affair. The chief fault with “When Romance Rides” appears to be the failure of the director to knit together several good scenes into a big climax. There is one unique scene—that devoted to the capturing and “breaking" of a wild horse. The beginning of the picture smacks of the great out of doors, but the introduction of a “half wit” into the plot reduces the story to a cheap melodramatic basis. The cast is only fair, the best work being done by Claire Adams and Caril Gantvoort. Tod Sloan, a former Jockey, is in the east. “When Romance Rides” Is too plainly theatrical. On view at the Ohio. -I- -I- -IWatch This Landis Person Have a hunch that Cullen Landis deserves to be watched.

He is handy with his fists and the fight he stages with the son of the undertaker of a small town is a bully scrap. It’s no pink tea affair. That’s what I like about Cullen Landis. He looks like the read goods. He even seems "at home" when he is; forced by circumstances to “ride the

She is a great girl. We like) Miss Patsy. “Watch Your Step,” which is the 1 feature picture at the Circle this week, is a welcomed addition to the warm weather crop of movies. The funniest thing that Buster Keaton does in "My Wife’s Relations,” his new comedy, is to put too much yeast in the home brew. The yeast causes the brew to foam enough suds to fill an ocean. The Circle orchestra is playing selections from Pagliacoi. An organist Is playing a popular selection.. "They Call It Dancing.” The words are thrown on the screen and so expert Is the organist that one can “hear” the words. The organ recital program Includes “The Spring Song.” The music is a joy this week. The bill includes a travelog, a news weekly and the like. -|. -|. -|. When Drama Is not Drama The producers must have been hard up for material and thrills when they made “The Bootleggers." This movie Is of the lm.d melodrama type—Pretty girl, in love with revenue officer, kidnapped by the king of the bootleggers; whisked off to some foreign country in the bootleggers’ schooner; secret service lover trails them; ship burrs; heroine and villain find shelter on island; hero arrives, justice at last. The cast doesn’t even rank as fair. If the constitution ’.j amended to prohibit smoking* I tea- that the movie producers will ket out a picture called “Cigarette Nellie, the Queen of the Pill Smugglers." “The Bootleggers” Is on view at the Isis in addition to a comedo called “A Boy, A Bear and A Dog,” in which a Leader George Ade, Hoosier humorist, by writing “Our Leading Citizen” fox j the movie screen, has made himself i the leading screen humorist

Mabel Normand doesn't fit well in so called polite comedy. Why does she attempt it? Atfer seeing this picture, one appreciates the good old pie throwing days of Mabel and Charlie Chaplin. She is at her best in this movie when ehe is being "made over” Into a "lady.” Then she dreams that she is a screen vampire. It may be a dream. but it i3 nearer being a nightmare. The oast is only fair. The photography la splendid, but good photography will not make a good movie. At Mister Smith’s this week. -i- -U-. Eugene Keeps A. Secret Eugene O'Brien keeps a secret in i "John Smith.” It is apparent that the movie director has made a sincere attempt to produce a comedy drama of some merit. The entire picture shows careful direction and the mystery element is well sustained. The comedy relief is thoughtfully maintained by two characters and the blending of the comedy and the mystery has resulted in the making of a satisfactory vehicle for O’Brien. The story hinges on O’Brien's ability to keep still regarding a crime. The court scene is interesting although Judge Collins would never permit a jury to be "blindfolded" as this movie jury is.

Va., July 10.— West Virginia is preparing to launch a nation-wide campaign of vindication. A long series of industrial troubles, dating from the Cabin and Paint Ceek wars in 1912-1913, to the march of miners against Logan County in the late summer of 1921; has brought the little Mountain State into disrepute throughout the coun- : try. The Huntington Kiwanis Club fired | the opening gun of the vindication i campaign when a committee was appointed to prepare an outline of the publicity drive and to enlist the support of civic and commercial bodies throughout the State. West Virginia is spending millions for roads and schools. The development of the country, while naturally difficult because of the rough topography, is making progress, and officials and leaders, in civic work have j expressed th ehope that the State will ! take its place with others of America, | provided some of its enemies from without forget their animosity and | lend, rather than withdraw, the help--1 ing hand. Club’s New Name The American Club, a luncheon club, has changed its name to the Gyro Club of Indianapolis. There are twenty chapters In the United States and nine in Canada.

C., enclosing 2 cents in stamps. Medical, legal and love and marriage advice will not be given. Unsigned letters will not be answered, but all letters are confidential and receive personal replies.—Editor. V J Q.—What is the duty on watches and clocks imported to the United States from Switzerland? A.—Thirty per cent of the foreign value. Q. —Are there any animals now in which the process of evolution is perceptible? A.—Apparently, yes. Among them is the Australian frilled lizard which at present appears to tie trying to become a biped. This animal gets on its hind legs and runs for a short distance. In New Zealand the kea, or Nestor parrot, has taken to lighting on the loins of the sheep, tearing away the fleece, cutting at the skin and gouging out the fat. Parrots belong to a vegetarian or frugivorous stock, and this change in diet has taken place in the relatively short time since sheep ranchen were established in New Zealand. Q. —What does “being on the qui vive” mean? A. —Qui vive is the challenge of a French military sentinel; literally th* translation is “who lives," but the equivalent English meaning is "Who J goes there?" To be on the qui vive TODAY’S WORD Today’s world Is ANTIDOTE. It’s pronounced an-ti-dot, with. accent on the first syllable. The a and i are short and the o long. It is most commonly used as a noun, and means—remedy for poison or other evil. Asa noun, it is used with “against,” "for” or "to.” But it may also be a transitive verb, thus "He could not antidote the poison.” It comes from the Latin antidotum, derived from the Greek "given against.” It’s used like this: "Republics are the antidotes for oppression.”

Primary Fight' Not Without Its Funny Side ■ BY C. e. LYON. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Tha launching by the Old Guard of a na-tion-wide movement to knock out direct primaries apparently isn’t exalting anybody but themselves. At the very outset, the movement Is seriously handicapped by the fact that some of its chief spokesmen are very late victims of popular wrath in direct primaries. Senators New of Indiana and McCumber of North Dakota and various members of the Pennsylvania delegation who are part and parcel of the machine that Gifford Pinchot smashed. The necessity of keeping control over their party organizations is. in the view' of the Old Guard, fully as important as maintaining their voting strength in national and State Governments. Harding Counted On President Harding is counted on to fire more heavy verbal broadsides against direct primaries, with Attorney General Daugherty and Secretary of War Wicks, publicly agreeing with him. The propaganda already launched for a return to the “old system" is not without its humor. Senator Newberry of Michigan is being used as an argument against primaries by the very men who are now being defeated in primaries for having voted to seat him. "Under the convention system,” declares Senator New, "Senator Newberry would have been nominated for one-fifth or less than what it cost him.” In other words. Newberry would have been named for Senator by the convention method in Michigan but it would not have cost him so much, Bad-Tempered Out LONDON, July 10. —An official order authorizes the retirement of such naval officers as have bad tempers or are otherwise unfitted to command men.

means, therefore, to be on the alert, or to keep a sharp lookout as a sentinel does. Q. —How long will it take a letter to go from San Francisco. CaL, to Essligen, Wurttemburg, Germany. A.—lt depends somewhat on connections made in transit. It takes from five to six days from San Francisco to New York and if a boat sails on the day of its arrival in New York it will take about six days to England and about five days longer to go from England to Germany, depending on connections made there. The total time, i in the case assumed, would be about three weeks. Q. —Is carbide gas used at all for i internal combustion engines? Why could it not be used? A. —The United States Bureau of •Standards does not know of any practical operation of internal combustion engines using carbide gas as a fuel, but believes this arises first, on account of its expensiveness; second, on account of the difficulty of safe storage; third, its erratic behavior in combustion under pressure and at high temperature. No doubt it could be used to drive a properly built and adjusted gas engine, but since there are many better, cheaper and safer fuels, its use is seldom considered and little investigation or research has been carried out with ltQ. —How many men were In the Canadian army during the World War; how many were killed, wounded and taken prisoners? A. —There were 595.421 men in the Canadian army during the World War; besides this number there were 21.169 Canadians in the Royal Air Service; 418.062 Canadians actually saw service overseas; 51.674 were killed in action or died from wounds received in action; 41,960 died of other causes; 159,732 were wounded; 3,729 were taken prisoner. Total Canadian casualties were 210.096. Q. —How old was John Jacob Astor when he went down in the Titan in disaster? A.—Forty-eight years old. f — v In the Times’ question and answers department, the Duesehberg and Frontenac automobiles were included in a list of foreign made cars. Both these cars are now manufactured in Indianapolis.
