But whose hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Proverbs 1:33. Booze at the Steering Wheel ADVOCACY by the Hoosier State Automobile Association of legislation which will make the highways more safe for the law-abiding public a commendable move that most folks will welcome and encourage. The association proposes that any person who drives a car while drunk and meets with an accident shall be deprived of his automobile license. But why let the accident happen? Why should the State wait for some dangerous, intoxicated joy Hder to injure or kill somebody before it steps in and takes his license away? It is the duty of the State to protect the peaceable and lawabiding public as well as to punish the disturber or the criminally careless. A drunken pedestrian is arrested and locked up before he commits a misdeed. The person who drives an automobile on the public highways while intoxicated is criminally negligent of the rights and welfare of others and the mere fact that he is intoxicated at the wheel of a motor car should be sufficient grounds for taking his license away from him.

The World’s Debts GREAT BRITAIN has sent a note to the allies announcing that their war debts to the British Government cannot be considered separately from the British war debts to the American Government. That is to say, Great Britain will refuse to cancel the debts owing her as an independent act. The British attitude has been taken after mature consideration. Some British financiers believe T heir Government can best serve domestic interests by cancellation. But, in this matter, international politics enters, and the politicians have decided otherwise. The affair is Great Britain’s in part, and in part America’s also. The plain fact of the British case is that if the United States writes off foreign Government debts, Great Britain will do the same. Such action by America would first necessitate congressional sanrtion. Before Congress can act, American public opinion must first express itself. The American people are not yet ready to cancel the war debts. Whether they ever will be depends on future events. If Europe recovers with reasonable rapidity and demonstrates its ability to repay, America will insist on repayment. But, if Europe continues to suffer indefinitely from the cruel economic effects of the war, the American people may revise their judgment. For America, the affair is a business matter, as it is for Great Britain. It is the most complicated business matter the modern world has ever had to face. There are no precedents. Therefore all prophecies must be mere guess-work.

Jim, the Puddler JIM DAVIS, Secretary of Labor, has taken his pen in hand to out-Horatio Horatio Alger. Jim, who asks us to “just call me Jim,” bas done it with his book, “The Iron Puddler.” “The Puddler” is Jim, and Jim is the hero of the story As Jim says, “the man who tells the story always monies out winner.” So Jim wins victory after victory all through his book, and finds himself “steadily rising in the social world.” Jim beats Alger’s pace by having “The Iron Puddler” whip i the town bully in the first chapter. “I made up my mind that' I would have a fight in the first chapter if I ever wrote a book” Jim says at the start taking the reader into his confidence. That is the spirit of Jim’s book, all the way through. There’s nothing between the lines; Jim puts his intimate thoughts into the lines themselves. Jim’s story is that of the poor boy who had nothing but good health, strength, honesty, courage, ability, personality, an* a mission in life. From poverty he rose by sheer hard work to wealth and influence. Jim drew a lesson from life every day. As he puddled his furnace, separated the impurities from the iron, and drew it out in huge, raw slabs, Jim philosophied. His philosophy he offers, like puddled iron, in huge, raw slabs, yet to be refined. There are lots of villains in Jim’s book. The Russians, Reds and reformers are his villains, and Jim knocks them for goals in almost every chapter. Later Jim tackled the bad Giant, Politics, and killed him, too. The latter chapters of his book deal with the founding of Mooselieart, the city of happy, though orphaned, children. Jim’s story is worth reading, both because it is entertaining, and because it is a happy portrait of a poor immigrant who became a successful and public-spirited American.

SENATE WILL DELAY SHIP SUBSIDY UNTIL AFTER FALL ELECTION; LEADERS THINK BALLOTS MAY GIVE COURSE OF POLITICAL WINDS

Against the Ship Subsidy BY DUNCAN U. FLETCHER Ranking Democratic Member Senate Commerce Committee WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. —The pending bill to amend and supplement the merchant marine act of 1920 involves definite principles of far-reaching importance. The provisions for subventions, indirect subsidies and direct subsidies are presented on a scale never before contemplated. I feel, particularly at this time, it would be a serious mistake for the country to enact them into law. The vision of a merchant marine coming out of this bill is a deceptive mirage. It is a false light. It means wreckage. The Government should not go out of the shipping business. At the risk of being charged with socialistic tendencies, I wqpld have the shipping board, through the fleet corporation, take over and operate the Panama Steamship Line and the United States Line; dismiss political appointees who are simply in e&ch other’s way, close that door to job hunters, time-servers, the inexperienced and incompetent, and then systematize the work, putting it on a strictly commercial business basis. Eventually private ownership and management will come. But careful, sympathetic and intelligent supervision in the interests of American commerce, not a lavish bestowal of subventions and subsidies, must pave the way.

CONGRESS LOOKS TO STRIKE ISSUE IS LEADING OUT! Legislators, Back From Homes, Report Public Appeal Is for Settlement. WILL CONVENE IN TEN DAYS Congressmen Plan Immediate Treatment of Question Before All Others. Bu DEO R. SACK. Times Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—Legislators, returning from vacations home where they rubbed elbows with the people, reach here almost in a state of panic. Tariff, ship subsidy, bonus and other pending measures have been relegated to second place i” their anxiety over the coal and railroad situations. Opinion “back home” they unanimously report, is urgent upon one thing: “Settle the .strikes." All other issues have been subordinated to this, in the public mind, returned Senators and Congressmen declare. Voters are insisting the situation has been allowed to drift too long and legislators realize that a continuation not only will mean physical and economic suffering in the country but will result in political embarrassments. From one end of the country to the other folks are worrying over the winter's coal supply. And the worry is two-edged. First, will sufficient coal be available? Second, will it be available at reasonable prices? Complaints are already causing grave concern to legislative candidates for office. Unless a radical charge comes over the situation, the House is expected to “talk right out in meeting” when It reconvenes Aug. 15. President Hardigg, however, is still hopeful that an agreement may bo reached without pressure of interference from the House of Representatives.

THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE YOUTH Paris celebrates the 100th anniversary of the deciphering of the Rosetta Stone by Jean Champollion. This famous stone was discovered in Egypt in 1799 by a A French officer. A mesM sage was carried on it JK In three different lanASp guages. W Champollion. by deciphering the Rosetta jEJ Stone, gave science the APPLE. key to the mysterious heirogl.vphic writings of the ancient Egyptians. Asa result, we have placed together their history. Young men who are timid about tackling big jobs should think of Champollion. He was only 11 when he began studying the puzzle. He was only 19 when he solved the mystery. W r ise old men had failed. JAIL Young James Marchesani, arrested for throwing stones at a house in West Hoboken, N. J., must serve an hour a day in jail for ninety days. This installment plan system of prison sentences might be applied in numerous cases. Agony is more effective when prolonged in small doses over a long time than when administered in epe short dose. It might do wonders with auto speeders. A western judge some- years ago cured a boy of stone-throwing by sentencing him to throw 1,000 stones. Maybe some auto speeders could bo cured by making them drive 1,000 miles with their ears propped up on jacks. RELICS The Nathaniel Hawthorne homestead at Raymond. Maine, is sold and turned into a community house. In this and similar incidents you see young America getting its first gray hairs—beginning to accumulate historic relics. \ Europe is all cluttered up with these. The final stage is ruins. We speculate a lot about the future. But few of us realize we are living in the best time of our Nation’s history—its youth.

UNUSUAL FOLK By XEA Service HOBART. Mich., Aug. s.—When Howard Mottor, 14 year old, discovered a broken rail on the Pennsylvania track close by his home near here one day recently, he knew the limited train was due shortly, and at first thought it didn’t seem to him as If there was a thing handy even remotely resembling a red flag to stop it with. Then it struck him that the broad red ribbon his mother wore on her hat might be made to do, and hurriedly tearing it off, he really succeeded in saving the train. How serious an accident he averted, of course, nobody can say, but the train was coming fifty miles an hour and the broken rail was held only by the spikes. Railroad men give th.e boy credit for preventing what probably would have been a bad wreck.

By HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. s.—“ Out of the frying pan into the fire” seems, to be the future immediately ahead of the United States Senate. For no sooner will the Senate have concluded with the tariff bill than it will be confronted with the Administration's ship subsidy measure, over wh.ch a b.tter battle seems certain. The House will take up the subsidy bill soon after its midsummer recess. Action by the House before tine middle of September is considered probable. Drags In Senate But there will be no vote on ship subsidy in the Senate at this session. Even if the tariff bill < is finally cleared by the time the House passes the ballots Nov 7 indicate the direcwill balk at any final action until after the bollts Nov. 7 indicate the direction of prevailing political winds. The aim of the subsidy bill is to get the Government’s vast merchant fleet into private hands and into'the business of world commerce. But the Senate, taking the view that there isn't an over-abundance of commerce, but that there is a noticeable volume of political unrest, be-

Competition in Radio Enriches General Quality of Programs

By PAUL F. OODLEY, America’s Foremost Radio Authority. Until the recommendat.ons of the recent conference on radio telephony at Washingon are enacted into law. it seems that we are in for some fric tion between'competing broadcasting stations. There seems to be considerable difficulty in several parts of the country to arrange radio programs without conflicts. Several of the larger stations seem to feel that their claims on the ether should receive first attention. Asa matter of fact, those interests which provide the highest quality of program will eventually wm out over those content to supply the public with canned music. Open competition for ear, without interference or congestion, is the thing which will bring out the best in broadcasting. A great deal is expected from the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which has announced it will enter the broadcasting field from its new station, WBAY. It is understood the A. T. & T. originally failed to get Into the regular broadcasting field as a result of its inability to obtain a license to operate a toll broadcasting station on a wave length of about 435 meters. However, this station, which is intended for commercial broadcasting, has been assigned temporarily, a wave length of 360 meters. Hours Assigned This does not permit simultaneous operating on the same wave length in the New York area. Asa consequence. certain hours have been assigned to the stations in the New York district. While radio advertising has not as yet been prohibited by laws or regulation, it is cons.dered, in the public interest, that applicants should provide programs of general interest. In this way it is expected that considerable publicity will accrue to the renter and a very high-class program will be broadcast. It is doubtful whether any of the great merchandising companies would care to have their names associated with anything other than first-class entertainment. Simultaneous Concerts To satisfy the two larger factions

lieves nothing will be lost by proceeding with caution. What Bill Provides The subsidy bill would provide for the American public, through tribute to American ship operators, paying whatever sums might be necessary to give operators minimum annual profits of 10 per cent. Vessels now owned by the Government would be sold to private operators under terms allowing fifteen years’ payment with 4 per cent interest on unpaid balances. A loan fund of $125,000,000 would be established from which private ship owners could borrow two-thirds of the money necessary to build new vessels. , Such loans would bo made for fifteen years and 2 per cent annual interest. Owners of American merchant vessels, in computing net income for taxation, would be permitted to deduct a sum equal to the income de rived from operation in foreign trade, provided they invest double the amount of the resulting saving in taxes in building new vessels in American yards.

of radio audiences, one that demands classical music and the other that enjoys the popular productions, the Radio Corporation of America is planning the erection of a supers station, from which both kinds of music will bo broadcast at the same time. This station Will have a range of 1,500 miles. It will be atop one of the business buildings in the heart of New York. Two 100-foot towers will suspend a 200-foot aerial 380 feet above the ground. From the same aerial, but from separate studios, both classes of music will go out on different vave lengths. Both programs will be handled separately in the two studios, but modulation will be governed from a central control room.

For the Ship Subsidy BY ALBERT D. LASKER Chairman United States Shipping Board WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. —Whether America is to be potent on the seas for the next several generations will be decided in the disposition by Congress of the pending legislation, proposed by the President, for the aid and upbuilding of our merchant marine. The matter is not merely one of subsidy or no subsidy. It involves: 1. What shall be done with the Government’s vast war-built merchant fleet. 2. What shall be done to end the large losses of governmental operation. 3. What shall be done to insure the overseas carriage of -America’s surplus products. 4. Whether America, through an adequate merchant marine, shall be self-sustaining and self-sufficient on the seas in war. There have always been two schools of thought in connection with Government aid to shipping, that which stands for direct aid in the form of cash subsidies, and that which stands for indirect aid through preferences given the home flag. But we must do enough or nothing. Until the indirect aids have proved what they can and American ships have a larger volume of business—we must have some measure of direct aid.

FUN By BERTOS BRALEY. THE ordinary boy believes That life is chiefly lived for play. He most reluctantly receives Advice that points the other way. His lessons pain him to the heart, His tasks annoy him, one and all. He wants to iet 'em so, and start A fame of bail. HE reads his books because he must. He does his chores with raneor grim. They fill him with a dull disgust. Because he wants to go and swim. In duty he will take no pride. His labors give him quite a pang. He’d rather toss them all aside And join ”th’ gang.” BUT we of older growth contrive To teach him nobler, higher aims. We fit him properly to strive For something Bigger than his games: Yet. spite of all that we advise. In play alone he takes delight 1 (And in our hearts we realize The kid is right!)

To the Editor o 1 The Tim's Permit me, through the columns of your valuable paper to pay a tribute to the splendid statesmanship of our Governor, the Hon. Warren T. McCray. Although there has never been any occasion to question the broadmindedness of the State’s chief executive, I think you will agree with me that he has risen to new heights in the handling of the problems incident to the coal strike. His patience was indeed commendable, and his courage, now that patience is no longer a virtue, marks him one of the foremost Hoosiers of all time. It is a serious matter to seize private property and declare martial law, even in such an emergency as obtains In the State and Nation. But Governor McCray certainly realizes the gravity of the steps he has taken, and he should know the public will back him up in anything he does to break the treasonable dead-lock that deprives the community of fuel. I desire publicly .to proclaim my loyalty and approval of such leadership as we have today at the Statehouse. J G. BURKHARDT.

To the~Editor of The Times State fair comes the first week in September—just a month from now. Indianapolis is the lucky, or unlucky city where all celebrations incidental to the fair are held. Indianapolis prices itself, as a city, on the opportunity and extends a broad welcome to the citizens of the State of Indiana. Most visitors to the State fair come by automobile. Indianapolis streets are in the worst condition they have been the entire summer. People who visit the fair won't get to see Indianapolis, thougl)—they’ll have to detour to get to the grounds.

W/ S dandruff In earj / 5 lier years. For I j s/ 3 numerous cases of | j y baldness are due i ■ .—II*" to dandruff. There are two forms of dandruff. One is attended with scaling or crusts and drying of the scalp. In the other form, the scales unite with oil from the scalp and form a crust over the head. This is the form that causes baldness. Dandruff is “catching,” usually being "spread by promiscuous use of the comb and brush. Debility, constipation aod other conditions that undermine the health are future causes of falling hair. As baldness Increases, dandruff lessens. The disease is one of early life, coming usually between the twentieth and thirtieth years. Both sexes lose their hair from dandruff, though women rarely become bald, as do men. Heredity also has something to do with baldness. One does not inherit baldness, but an individual often inherits a weak-muscled scalp. With men the shape of the hat has much to do with the shedding of hair. Stiff hats should be blocked to the exact shape of the owner's head so as not to press too tightly at any one spot. Scalp massage is effective in preventing baldness. It must be done at least once a day and two or three times will do no harm. SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.

SECOND “LOOIES” WINPBPULftRITY WITH UNCLE SI

Congressional Pruning Board Desires Fewer .Colonels and Majors. ALMOST 2,000 ARE NEEDED “Shavetails” Found to Number Less Than 100 at Time of Recent Count. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Second lieutenants, the doughboys’ burden and the jokesmith's joy, have come into their own at last. Uncle Sam is throwing colonel-’, majors and captains out of his Army to make room for more of them. When Congress last month looked over the Army’s list of officers, preparatory to making appropriations for their pay, it found that there were less than a hundred second lieutenants in the Army, while there were thousands of officers of the higher grade. Even Colonels Go So it decided that the Army could get along without a few of the upper grades, but needed more “shavetails.” It accordingly pared down the authorized numbers of colonels, majors, captains and first lieutenants and called on the Army to commission more seconds, for a grand total of 12.000 officers for the entire Army. The War Department has just appointed a “pluccking board” of five generals to go over the records of every officer in the Army to see who shall be released to make room for the required second lieutenants. It has designated the number of officers in each grade who must be released. The board’s selection must be made and the officers picked be released before Dec. 15. Process Lengthy In the meantime examinations are being held at various points of the country in the search for second lieutenants. Approximately 1,900 must be found to bring their strength up to the number required by Congress. When the process is completed, the upper ranks reduced and the second “looies” inducted into the service. Uncle Sam’s Army of 125.000 men will be officered by one general, twentyone major generals, forty-six brigadier generals, 420 colonels, 577 lieutenant colonels, 1,575 majors, 3,150 captains, 2.967 first lieutenants and 1,771 second lieutenants, all officers of the line, and 1,477 officers of all ranks In other branches, such as the Medical, Dental and Veterinary Corps.
