He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.—Psalms 33:5. An Ounce of Discretion, Now, or—uT AW and order must be preserved, property and life must J~/ be protected, transportation of the mails must not be interfered with and interstate commerce must not be interrupted.” Thus Attorney General Daugherty, speaking for the Federal Government, justifies the mobilization of troops to handle the railroad strike. The troops are called out on behalf of the public, and no one else. They are not the agents of the railroads. It is just as much their business to protect union men from the railroads’, hired strikebreakers as it is to protect non-striking employes from lawless-mobs bent on violence. Disorders have already occurred. Trains have been held up and bombarded. Shops and homes have been dynamited and burned. Men-have been kidnaped and beaten. Into this situation, the Attorney General orders troopers. They can be a force for peace or they can become the fire-brand that will set off one of the nastiest labor-capital conflagrations this Country has ever seen. Now is the time for Mr. Daugherty and other Federal authorities to think about possible consequences. Good Job Goes Begging. WHAT’S the matter with the department of humor at the city hall ? Full twenty-four hours have passed and no one in the Administration has seen what a grand opportunity to laugh adversity into a good $5,000 a year job lies in the fight the council is making on public dancing and theatricals in parks. Lawyers advised the mayor the anti-dancing and show ordinance is unconstitutional because it provides no standard by which “folk dancing” can be told from “public dancing.” The administration needn’t worry about that. Let some expert polish up a politician on plain and fancy steps and appoint him city dance meister. Why not? We’ve got a weighmaster. Or, better still, let the mayor be the judge. He said he didn’t know a thing about esthetic dancing. He could watch the dancers and rule out all the steps he didn’t recognize.

THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE. TASS lONS Detectives check up and find that New York City's most sensational crimes occur during summer. The Thaw, Rosenthal and Elwell cases were staged i during the warm months. \So are nearly all the \ Wz other metropolitan mur- \ ders involving prominent people. * *“ There is no mystery APPLE about this. Nor is it coincidence. In hot weather emotions are stronger and the brain languid. In winter, the brain is keener, emotions more under control. People are blamed or given credit for a lot of deeds that really are due to the weather. Back of the weather is the sun, regulator of the swarm called humanity. The mystery of life has something to do with the sun. WAGES How much money do you make? National Bureau of Economic Research figures out that combined wages, salaries and other incomes of all Americans in 1919 averaged $627 for every man, woman and child. Multiply $627 by the number in your family. Compare the total with your 3919 Income and you'll know whether you did better than the average during the boom. Cards have been reshuffled. TALK For twenty-two years John Hope has been a member of the British House of Commons —and has never made a speech. We need a few John Hopes in Congress, our Parrot House. Congressmen are like the rest of us. The more they talk the less they do. John Hope says he steers clear of oratory because: "A man can do more in life by not talking about It.” BATHING Writer Believes One-Pieee Suit Is for Comfort. To the Editor of The Times Is there some hidden wickedness in one-piece bathing suits which the girls wear so much? Hardly a day passes that we do no't read where the police. In some town or another, have con- j ducted a raid, loaded up a hunch of j girls and taken them to the Jail. Really now, hasn't a bathing girl Just as much right to be comfortable as a bathing man? Anyone who swims knows that a two-piece suit is a hindrance to comfort, so why do so many people object? A. G. To the Editor of The Times As I drove my car into Indianapolis to work yesterday I had occasion through a number of narrow escapes, to realize the general carelessness with which the average person drives an automobile. Between Emerson Ave. and Meridian St., no less than six cars dashed from cross streets into Washington St., apparently unaware that Washington St. traffic holds the right-of-way. In nearly every one of these cases I had to swerve my car violently in j order to avoid a collision. The only safe thing for a motorist j to do in this age is trust nobody but ! himself, and have no confidence In himself above fifteen miles an hour. H. M. S.

GIVE ME ROOM By BERTON BRA LEI’. IDO not see much fun shout A car that's just a runabout; Two seats Is not An awful lot When you have friends to carry. A TOURING car is trig: enough. And furthermore it's big enough To take a bunch And heaps of lunch. And thus make riding merry. A BIG car will take care of you When there is just a pair of you. And three, or four. Or several more. Can ride when you desire it. IF on a trip you bang along And want to take a gang along Your fun to share The space is there Whenever you require it. AND so to me, a touring car Is much the most alluring car. With room therein To take your kin And friends upon excursions. TO ride the folks you like about.

Bv NORA KAY Appearances to the contrary, there are a lot of deep thoughts under the Valentino pompadours and scant tresses of the modern youth according to the head of a popular book department. The young people of the present day are fast getting Into the highbrow class, the department head says. “The sugar coated trashily written romances of ten years ago are a thing of the past,” declared this authority. “Young people these days ask for well written, serious books. They want to read the books that are being talked about because of their literary value." “Who reads books talked about because of their sensationalism?” she was asked. "Two kinds of people—the highbrow class seeking good literature from a iterary standpoint and the carious class seeking a thrill. But I think,” she continued, ‘‘that both classes absorb a little of each.” GUARD AMONG FIRST Indiana’s Citizen Soldiers Organization Ranks High. Indiana’s National Guard ranks among the first ten in the United States, according to Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith. There are 4,922 officers and en- ' listed men, he said. “This is more than twice the num- ! her of men the State ever had except | in 1917, when the men were drafted \ into Federal service during the World War,” Smith said. The State just completed airdrome buildings on its aviation field near Kokomo. New armories have been com- | pleted at Salem, Martinsville and Madison. Armories at Portland, Kokomo, Elwood, Spencer and Graensburg are in the course of construej lion. At Gary an armory Is being erected | on three acres of ground at a cost j of $50,000. TODAY’S WORD Today’s word is HARANGUE. It’s pronounced ha-rang, with the accent on the last syllable. The first Is is as the a In ask, and the second a is ..short. It means when used as a noun: popular oration, a speech addressed to j a large public assembly, a noisy, rant- ; lng speech; when used as a verb: to | address earnestly or noisily. It comes from the French “harangue” meaning literally, a speech before a large multitude. It’s used like this —as a noun: “He delived an Impassioned harangue;” as a verb: "He harangued , the crowd.”

DiRECT PRIMARY OPPONENTS HAVE SMALLSUCGESS Political Leaders Find Governors of States Against Change. CHOICE FREEDOM VALUABLE Henry J. Allen, Kansas, Believes Vote Plan Is a Success. By United "Sews NEW YORK, July 14.—Efforts of political leaders to do away with the direct primary system will meet with small success, Judging from statements made to the United News by Governors of States. Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas says: “The direct primary system gives the public the freedom to act the choice of their official representatives and this freedom is in itself a valuable safeguard. We are giving the primary too much work in most of the States. The ballot should be shortened and the responsibility of the officers, who are chosen in the primary thus emphasized and dramatized.” Harry L. Davis, Governor of Ohio, declares: "I am in favor of the direct primary system, established after the old convention system had shown frequent inconsistency with the popular need or interest." Edward I. Edwards, Governor of New Jersey, emphatically maintains: “It is here to stay and to be ex tended, rather than abolished.” Minnesota Is one of the States that ha3 retained the direct primary system, but has provided for a pre-pri-mary party convention. Governor J. A. O. Preus explains how the system operates: “This convention met in Minnesota, nominated its candidates and adopted a platform. Each candidate is privileged to have the words ’recommended by Republican convention’ on the ballot, or if it is a Democratic convention or Farmer-Labor convention, these words go after the names of those candidates.” UNUSUAL FOLK By SEA Service PORTLAND, Ore., July 14.—Stephen Carver of this city Is the man-power ; for an entire railroad.

GERARD EXPECTS GERMAN PLOTS FOR NEXT FIFTY YEARS

NEWPORT, R. L, July 14.—James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, sees the liberalization of the beaten empire on the way to realization. Just returned from another visit to Europe, Gerard declares neither the assassination of Rathenau ncr the menace of monarchist plots will prevent the success of the task Rathenau foresaw and was engaged in when murdered. “As I was leaving Berlin In February, 1917,” said Gerard. “Rathenau told me his country would be defeated

By PAUL F. OODLEY, America’s Foremost Radio Authority. Build your own super-regenerative set. This type of receiving set, perfected by E. H. Armstrong, can give an amplification of 1,000,000! Extremely small energies—such as those set up in the receiver colls—are magnified into strong signals without evon using an antenna! At distances up to twenty miles a proper combination of circuits gives plenty of colume without any aerial. Using a loop or coll antenna, the same volume may be had at double the distance. To go farther than this—that is, to connect the set to an outdoor aerial—is at present Impracticable. The super-regenerative set Is essentially one which finds Its main eppllctlon where it is either impossible or undesirable to erect an outdoor aerial, j As yet, it does not seem to operate | successfully in covering great distances.

Gerard says Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria is a menacing monarchical factor. “He openly boasts he can get back his kingdom any time he pleases,” says the former ambassador. "There is a tendency of some to be for kaiserism and militarism, because It Is the picturesque side —and perhaps because they escaped the evils or it.” Gerard does not think there will be a financial crash In Germany.

RIVER FREIGHT SYSTEM SHOWS GAINj-OR U. S. Mississippi Barge Lines Set Record in Tonnage. OPERATE GIANT FLEET Profits Have More Than Offset Incidental Losses. WASHINGTON, July 14.—Government operation of barge lines on the Mississippi River between St. Louis and New Orleans has become so profitable that plans are now afoot for extending the service northward to Minneapolis. This will provide a 2,000-mile all-water route from the Northwest to the Gulf of Mexicp, affording service in both directions at 80 per cent of the corresponding railroad rates. The Mississippi River barge line has just set anew record by completing seven consecutive months of profitable operation. Figures show that from December to June, inclusive, It earned $143,359. Freight carried totaled 433,628 tons. Organized during the war to provide additional transportation facilities, the Mississippi River barge line was turned over to the War Department for operation when the railroads were returned to their owners. It now operates a fleet ot eight modern towboats and fifty enormous barges, offering semi-weekly sailings. transportation by water is about as fast as that by railroad. Profits on the Mississippi River have more than offset ’the losses of the Government’s barge line on the Warrior River, connecting Birmingham with New Orleans via the gulf. HAY FEVER * Bv OR. R. H. BISHOP. ————j jje hay fever days are almost here, the days which mean misery for many thousands throughout the United States. Hay fever Is caused by breathing into the delicate passages of the nose, the pollen, or fertilizing .J powder that j grows on wild, useless weeds. Ragweed is the commonest cause of hayfever. Hay fever is a periodic disease | which generally occurs at a fixed dato every year. In general it attacks only the nervous or “high-strung'' type of person and is routed by the first frost. It travels under more than twenty different aliases, among which are rose cold, peach cold, pollen catarrh, summer catarrh, rag-weed fever and nervous coryza. The disease is affection of the upper air passages. Symptoms in the early stage resemble those of a cold, but there is more sneezing than in the case of a common cold. To avoid hay fever, persons should see that all weeds near their homes are cut. Vaccines used to prevent treatment should be begun several weeks before the attack is due. Treatment should be under the supervision of a competent physician.

Defends Primary * jflV 4§nlgk SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER WASHINGTON—Extension of the primary law, rather than its repeal, must be secured If popular Government Is to be perpetuated, says Senator Arthur Capper, Republican of Kansas, head of the farm bloc and recognized as a national progressive leader. Evidences of a careful, systematic propaganda to undermine public confidence in State primary laws with a view to bringing about their repeal and a return to the selection of candidates by party conventions is seen under the recent criticism of primaries by President Harding, Secretary of War Weeks and Senator Watson of Indiana. "I cannot go along with the President, Weeks and Watson,” Capper declares. “Instead of abolishing or limiting the primary, It must be extended. “I hope to see the day when nominations for President will be by popular primary. When that day comes, we shall be getting on toward a really popular Government. The people must have more voice, not less voice, in their Government and in the selection of men who make and administer the laws. National Committeemen First “One of the first steps In extending the primary should be selection of national committeemen by popular vote. That would give the rank and file of the parties a voice. It has none now. PRIMARY By NEA Service WASHINGTON—J us t how the party organization feels its hold on Senators and Representatives slip? ping because of the operation of popular primaries is described by Senator Jim Watson of Indiana, one of the Old Guard engineers of the G. O. P. juggernaut. This lack of control, says Watson, is back of the desire in party organization circles for the repeal of prl- | mary laws and a return to the old I convention system where the or- ! ganization ruled. | “Under the primary system,” says | Watson, “Senators come here with an 1 individual mandate. They do not come here feeling they are under great obligations to the party, because each individual has gone out as an individual and won his nomination and his election. “So he does not come here imbued with the idea of teamwork, as used to be the case when party obligations sat more heavily upon the shoulders of public men than they do now.”

LINCOLN CABIN INSPIRED FOLK TO PLAN HERE* Rise of Memorial Association Came Unexpectedly on Visit to Kentucky. RELICS HAD INFLUENCE Visitors Spent Hours Viewing Emancipator’s Birthplace and Environs. By VOLNEY B. FOWL TR Birth of the Memorial Association to gain national recognition of the fact Abraham Lincoln spent the format! ve period of his life In Indiana, and to spread broadcast the lesson of his rise from obscurity, was dramatic and unexpected. For a long time Dr. Frank B. Wynn, president of the association, held a deep conviction that one of the most important factors in the preservation of the ideals which Lincoln personified was being neglected. He resolved to launch the movement, now under way, at the earliest moment. • The opportunity came July 1 when twelve members of the Indianapolis Nature Study Club Journeyed to Jeffersonville to attend the unveiling of a monument marking the spot from which George Rogers Clark his campaign resulting in the captunlß of Vincennes. The Indianapolis folk motored to Hodgenville, Ky„ to see the memorial marking Lincoln’s birthplace. For several hours they wandered about the beautiful structure, examining the original Lincoln cabin, housed within the memorial building, and relics and tablets therein. Finally the party gathered In the heart of the memorial before the cabin, *• as If drawn- by an unseen fore-.. The moment had arrived. While members of the party, struck with impulse to express reverence, bared their heads, Dr. Wynn read a resolution outlining the plan for the Indiana memorial work. Almost instantly the idea took root and the twelve people signed the resolutions which resulted last Monday In organization of the association. The founders are Dr. Wynn, Kate Milner Rabb, Lucy M. Elliott, Harry W. Glossbrenner, Mary Lucy Campbell, Martha E. Rihl, Edna B. Gearhart, Ruth L. Armstrong, Vivian K. Sowers, Kenneth B. Cohee, Eugene C. Foster and John W. Oliver.

Insect bite specialist, declares, are capable of killing a baby in its cradle!
