For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.. Psalms 84:11. On the Heights THE tragic death of Dr. Frank B. Wynn in the ascent of one of Nature’s mountain fastnesses that he so dearly loved quite naturally stirs in the minds of his countless friends and admirers the question, “Was it worth it?” Dr. Wynn’s was a life not only dear to himself and his near loved ones, but of inestimable value to his city, bis State and his country. Dr. Wynn’s was a life rich and full in efficient helpfulness and patriotic service. He lived up to every opportunity to render loyal and willing public service. He shirked nothing that a good citizen should do. * Then, a misstep on a mountain trail and the city that he loved and worked for is left only the memory of him. “Why, oh why, did he try to reach the mountain’s highest peak?” those who loved him are asking. But Should we not rather believe that from the mountain peaks, with his love of nature and all of the great outdoors, Dr. Wynn gained and kept ever strong the inspiration and lofty, yet practical, ideals which made him an ideal citizen? He was not the sort of man who could look at pictures of mountain tops and be satisfied. He needed to plant his feet fairly upon "the top of every mountain in his path. Perhaps his death is the price that a mourning city must pay for what Dr. Wynn accomplished during his fifty-eight years of well rounded life.* A Chinese Scheme THE largest secret society in the world is said to he disbanding. It is a Chinese organization, understood to have at least 100,000,000 members. Its name, translated, is “The-Save-the-Xation-and-Weep Society.” This gigantic confederation enforced the Chinese boycott against Japanese goods. It was China’s way of making Japan leave her alone. Whenever a Chinese merchant placed dollars above patriotism and persisted in selling Japanese wares, contrary to the boycott, a small mob of the secret society gathered at the shop door, fell on its knees and began wailing and moaning. , You can imagine how long a shopkeeper was able to withstand that kind of assault Japan is “getting out” of China, slowly but inevitably. The boycott was successful. It made hard times in Japan, for China is one of Japan’s big customers. The peaceful boycott probably was more effective than would have been an army of several million troops. The day may come when the trade boycott will take the place of armies, navies and flying squadrons. A nation would think twice before going on the warpath with a certainty that it would be punished by economic isolation. China is “in a bad way” right now, committing the worst form of self-destruction—civil war. But before many years have passed, education and science and exploiting foreigners will make China a mighty world power. The Chinese are* interesting now. They will become increasingly interesting as they flower again into a virile civilization. It will he interesting to watch the effect as the white man’s ways come in contact with the peculiar and mysterious psychology of the Chinese. They write backwards and—to us—seem to do everything else the same way. But they have many ideas worth copying. Ultimately the white race and the yellow race will borrow ideas from each other and blend their philosophies.

A.—At present: Fit-weight. Jimmy Wilde; bantamweight, Joe Lynch’ featherweight, Johnny Kilbane; lightweight. Benny Leonard; welterweight. Jack Britton; middleweight, Johnny Wilson; light heavyweight. Georges Carpentler; heavyweight. Jack Dempsey. Q. —Did Greece present a stone to be placed in the Washington monument? If so, what kind and what is the in scription? A. —Greee presented a stone of white marble, taken from the ruins of the Parthenon. The inscription is "George Washington, the hero, the citizen of the new and illustrious lib erty; the land of Solon, Themisticles and Pericles, the mother of ancient liberty, sends this ancient stone as a testimony of honor and admiration from the Parthenon.” Q. —How may feathers be bleached?

Q —How many important commercial woods are there? A. —About 100. Q. —How can a canoe be made to sail against the wind? A. —A canoe or any other vessel can sail against the wind only by tacking, that is proceeding with the w-ind over the port or starboard bow, and sailing as "close to the wind" as possible. In order to do this, it is necessary for any vessel to have either a keel, as well as a rudder, or a centerboard, which is a keel in effect, or some other similar device. The de vice used for canoes consists of two boards let down into the water on each side on the canoe, connected by a piece across the canoe and properly

fastened in position. They are manufactured by makers of canoes and may probably be purchased at any large sporting goods stores. Similarly sailing rigs for canoes are purchasable. Canoe sailing, however, in any but very light winds is rather dangerous sport, and should not be undertaken unless a competent person Is aboard.

The number of natural deaths in that area for 1920 was 1,080,066; the number of accidental deaths for that year was 62,492. Q. —Is Bolshevism the same as Socialism? A.—Bolshevism is one outgrowth of Socialist philosophy and teaching, but most Socialists would deny that Bolshevism is Socialism. The Bolshevikl of Russia have adopted the name "Communist” and call their government "Communism.” In many countries groups of members of the former Socialist party have split off and formed Communist parties affiliated with the "third” or “Moscow Internationale.” Q. —What are the five greatest wheat-raising countries and how much do they produce annually? A.—The following were the five largest wheat-raising countries in 1920: United States, 787,128,000 bushels; India, 376,884,000 bushels; Canada, 263,189,000 bushels; France, 230,404,000 bushels; Argentina, 214,140,000 b ushels.

There have been no records from her since but, of course, her production has decreased a great deal. Q. —How many head of cattle are there In the United States? A.—According to the latest available statistics. 67,000.000.

‘Chauve Souris ' Promised for „ Three Days in Murat s Season

The first announcement of the 19221923 legitimate season at the Murat comes from Nelson Trowbridge. Indianapolis will be given three days of Balieff’s “Chauve Souris,” the Russian vaudeville novelty which is now in its twenty-fifth week in New York City. A $5 top price is being charged In New York, and it is not known here if the high tariff will be asked on tour. There is a divided opinion upon the artistic and entertaining merits of chis strange company from the Bat Theater, Petrograd. It arrived in this country after escaping from Russia, then to Paris, then to London and finally to New York City. The company is being presented under the management of P. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest. A Movie Creed Billy Franey, movie comedian has written “A Creed.” Here it is: “I am the Screen Comedy. “My mission in life Is to make people laugh; I fear no just critic; neitner do I fear the censor's sharp shears. “When I am placed on exhibition men guffaw, women smile and children howl. "The theater manager loves me because I make his path easier: the people love me because I bring gladness into their hearts. “Sometimes I am even greater than the feature. “Men ship me around the world In a tin box and as I travel from town to town, from theater to theater, I know that I will be welcome wherever I go. “Though I journey alone hundreds of men are slaving day and night to make my comparative short span of life a success. Tenderly I am handled and heavily insured. I come to you gladly and stay until you send me away. “I am the Screen Comedy.” •I* -I- -I* On View Today The following are on view today: “The School For .Scandal" at the Murat: “The Rising Generation” at the Lyric: “Uncle John" at Garfield Park, and musical comedy at the ; Rialto.

CITIZEN Thinks Butler College Should Remain In Irvington. To the Editor of The Timet There recently has been much discussion in the columns of your paper regarding the future of Butler College. All arguments point out that something must be done to provide for the growth of the Institution and no doubt it would be a very wise policy for the proper authorities to take immediate steps for such provision. There ia then one question certainly to be solved—how will Butler’s growth be taken care of? It would be idealistic to make this city a center of education with higher institutions of learning of every kind. Butler is a literary college. We j | cannot hope to establish a center of; | education in Indianapo’is by providing; merely for Butler's enlargement. The program must be broader. The people of Irvington want Butler to stay. They realize that it is an asset well worth keeping, if possible. It will make Irvington grow and the growth of Irvington means the growth of Ind.anapolis. All right, keep Butler there. Do not greatly increase the number of subjects it offers. Then the growth of the institution can be taken care of on the present campus. This will insure Indianapolis an institution that ranks high in the subjects taught. Irvington will be satisfied and the growth of the college will ample. At Fail-view establish the University of Indianapolis. Fairviow would make an ideal campus for a great university. Once started, the people In and near Indianapolis would not permit the project to fall short of the original goal. Irvington wants Butler to grow and is willing to help it grow. The city would feel the same way toward the University of Indianapolis. There la need for a great university here. It is not necessary to take Butler from Irvington. Anew university would be an inspiration to our city and a help to the world. E. L. K.

DEJECTION Bu DR. R. Tl. BISHOP. @NE’S health usually is regarded a phys leal condition. True ! —but did you ever think how much the mind had to de with physical conditions? The abso lute control of one’s mind often can overcome bodily ailments. Fear, for instance, can bring about utter chaos in a person’s health. Then again, sad news will alter the ex pression of a man’s face and eyes lower his physical tone and eliminate the feelings of hunger. So, too, will good r.ews tend to increase a man’s sense of well-being and urge him on to greater activity. Take the case of one successful business man for instance. He awoke one morning to find his business in the hands of creditors and his pride crushed. He formerly enjoyed robust health, but soon after his failure he lost flesh rapidly, became sleepless depressed and hateful to those about him. During the next two years he was examined by one physician after another, but it was not until relatives came to his assistance financially he began to show any sign of improvement. This man since has gained his former physical condition. One should not lose sight of the ideal state at which to aim. namely a perfect capacity for self-control in all directions and at all times. It in surprising what a great deal of sick ness this condition Is able to waylay. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You remember casual Introductions In public are made only as a matter of convenience and courtesy and rarely deserve any recognition later. Should two women meet in a store or at the theater and one be accompanied by a friend who was a stranger to the other, no introduction would be necessary unless the two friends stopped for a prolonged conversation.

LEGION DEMIDS DRASTIC SHIFT INVETSjBUREAU Charge General Sawyer Blocks Every Move to Alter Mode of Treatment. HOSPITALS TWO SMALL Cite Numerous Instances Where Congestion Forces Men Outside. LOUIS, July 28. —Recommendations for drastic changes in the hospitalization program of the veterans bureau in the ninth district will be made soon by the ninth district rehabilitation committee of the American Legion, it has been announced by H. D. Mcßride, chairman of the committee. The recommendations will be based upon an investigation conducted by committee on conditions in vet erans' hospitals of the ninth district, which embraces Missouri, lowa. Kansas and Nebr iska, Mcßride said. Results of the investigation, which was completed at a meeting of the I rehabilitation committee here July 11, were announced recently, following the publication of correspondence be tween A. A. Sprague, chairman of the national rehabilitation committee, and Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, per sonal physician to President Harding, accusing General Sawyer of holding up the rehabilitation program. Conditions Appalling Very unsatisfactory and in some cases almost appallnlg conditions were found to exist in veterans' hospitals of the four States of the ninth dis trict, Mcßride said the investigation revealed. The capacity of hospitals where ex-soldlers are kept are greatly over-estimated, he said. “The veterans’ bureau maintains that there are 1,348 beds In the hos pitals in the district, and that 540 of these are unoccupied. The bureau asserts that 804 of these are in Govern-ment-owned hospitals and 319 in con tract institutions. “Many of these beds are located in Institutions where the treatment is j Inadequate and the building unsatisj factory. At Leavenworth, Kan., there j are 185 veterans in a hospital in j which they cannot receive adequate treatment and 172 are in a hospital at Knoxville. lowa, which formerly was an inebriate ward. Conditions in St. Louis “According to the estimate of the; Veterans’ Bureau, the United States ! Marine Hospital No. 35 at St. Louis j has a capacity of 800 beds, while the ; committee found thar. 650 ia all the j institution can accommodate. “Also all cases are not being cared i for In any institution. There are 1.000 i insane cases in the four States, and ■ only 492 In hospitals. We ask, where I are the other 508” There are 5,000 ■ ! cases of tuberculosis in the four j States, and only 191 In hospitals.” May Appeal to Harding If the appeal made by Sprague to General Sawyer fails to bring relief i In the Ninth District, Mcßride said a i campaign would be waged to bring pressure to bear on the President. General Sawyer is the chief coordinator of the hospital work of the Vet* 1 erans' Bureau. In his letter to General Sawyer, ' Sprngue said: “Four years have already passed j and the veteran is not yet provided for. A belated program is now being held up and changed. It is being changed to meet your approval. I appeal to you, sir, to stand aside and allow this program of the Veterans' Bureau to go into effect, and at once.” STILL CLEVERLY HID Large Liquor C ache Uncovered by Police and Federal Officers. In what local police and Federal of fleers described as the most cleverly concc-.led whisky distillery they have j ever seen, numerous baprels of mash, 1 fifty gallons of white mule whisky, a ; sixty-gallon and a twenty-gallon still were found on the farm of Lee P. Barker, south of Acton. Fresh dirt near the ham aroused the suspicion of the officers, who dug down and found, a hole through the concrete wall of the cellar under the bam. Through this hole an officer I entered and found the stills. Using a J wrench, he twisted three, bolts out of tho lock of the door and a concrete | slab five inches thick swung open in j the side of the wall. Summer Hats.

Radio Goniometer Approximates Direction of Sending Stations

By PAUL F. GODLEY America’s Foremost Radio Authority. Did you ever ht.ar of a "goniometer”—a device which measures angles? In radio, it consists of a combination of coils, which, when properly connected to a suitable receiving antenna, enables the operator to measure the angle from which the radio signal comes. It is a direction finder —although the term “goniometer” is applied only to that' instrument in the operating room which is adjusted in making the determinations. As- usually constructed, it consists of two coils of equal dimensions which are so fixed with respetc to each other that their magnetic fields are at right angles. Witltin these coils revolves a third. Operation The two fixed coils are connected respectively to two fixed loop or coil antenna, which are also supported In such way that their magnetic fields are at right angles to each other. Due to the directive characterise THE RADIO' GONIOMETER. tics of the coil antenna, signals which Originate at points lying in the plane of one of them will set up signal currents in that one only—and not in the other. If the revolving coil of the goniometer is then rotated, maximum signal will be produced in the receiver connected to it, only when the reTHE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE.

MURDERERS A speeding motorist swerves his car and knocks down a motorcycle cop who had crept up alongside the auto and ordered the driver tr halt. The policeman is badly Injured. Such oases are fairly rare. But thousands of drivers daily chortle with glee as they swing their cars and make pedestrians jump. 'Without realizing it. they have murder in their hearts.

He built the first ukulele out of a cigar box, in 1879. The ukulele music, played by native Hawaiians, later swept our country as a craze, made popular by "The Bird of Paradise.” This music is a hash of old-time camp-meeting songs taken across the Pacific by missionaries. Nunnes was a powerful man. His invention swayed the emotions of millions. Too bad we can't set common sense to music. Maybe we could. No one ever tried It.

ENGLAND HINTS, OFFIGIILLY, SHE WILLPAY DEBTS Birkenhead Reiterates Plans to See Deficit Bonds Mado Good. SHOCKED AT STUPIDITY Says Britons Display Woeful Lack of Knowledge About America. By RALPH H. TURXER United .Yew* Staff Correspondent. By Times Special LONDON, July 28.—Every opportunity is being seized by the British government to emphasize that the loans made by the United States during the war will be repaid. Several government spokesmen have publicly declared this in Commons, and it has been reiterated semiofficially a number of times. But the most emphatic statement of the government's intentions in this respect was made at the dinner given Wednesday by the English-speaking union to Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador at Washington. In paying a tribute to Sir Auckland’s work at Washington, Visoount Birkenhead, lord high chancellor, alluded to the "grave and critical pe-. riod in which Geddes went to tha{ United States. “England’s position should not, be misunderstood,” he said. “The United States had dealt with England on equal terms as a great financial power,” and, he added emphatically, ."we have never failed to meet any bond to which we set our hand.” In Hie strongest possible term*, Lord Birkenhead emphasized that England Is ready to meet any charge. Ambassador Geddes replied in a lighter vein, relating as the gospel truth some curious incidents of British ignorance concerning America. The Ambassador said he was astonished and depressed by such extraordinary ignorance of America shown by his countrymen. Bat the ignorance is not all on one side, he added, as Americans know equally little of conditions In England. PROBE WRECK ATTEMPT By United Press BOSTON.
