II Timothy 6 : 17. The Descent of a Man AX Honest Man was called as a Juryman. The Lawyers accepted Him. But, being Honest, he said to the Court, “Your Honor, Ido not think I should sit on this Jury. I have a Suit Pending in Which I am Interested in the Identical Question on Trial here. I would be Deciding my Own Case if I should Sit as Juror in this Case.” “You may Stand Aside,” said the Court. “You quite Correctly say that you are not Fit to Try this Case.” The Honest Man was elected Judge. Finally he was Elevated to the Supreme Bench. A Case Came up as to* the Validity of some Bonds. Said the Honest Man, “I Own some of These Bonds. Therefore I am Interested. I Cannot as an Honest Man sit as Triel Judge in this Case.” And he did not Sit; for he was an Honest Man . He was Elected to the United States Senate. A tariff Bill was Under Consideration. He Owned Sheep; but he voted on the Wool Schedule. He has Stocks in Railroads, and Steel Mills, and Many other Concerns; but he strove for, voted for, tariffs on all their Commodities. ' You Wonder at this, Children. You Marvel that the Man who acted so Honestly as Juror and Judge could do as this Man did as Senator. You want to have it Explained. We will now Explain it. Th§ Man Had Lost his Conscience. Ireland Coming Through LONG brooding over wrongs makes some men so insane that even righting the wrongs will not effect a cure. That is the most plausible explanation of the mischievous damage Irish rebels are working against their fellow countrymen. Not content with inciting mob violence in DuhMn, Cork and other populous centers, the rebels have destroyed cable communication between their own country and America. The purpose of this latest act of wauton rage is to try to demonstrate to the world that the Irish government of Ireland is unable to keep the peace. That is the stock excuse of guerilla bands for senselessly destroying their neighbors’ property. But no such excuse will hold in Ireland’s case. The Free State troops, without any assistance from Great Britain, have driven the rebels from every corner where they have chosen to make a stand. All damage eventually will he righted—though the Irish taxpayers will'have to pay the bills. Irish anarchy is being beaten. The Dublin government is giving an impressive demonstration of its powers. It is proving it has adequate ability to exercise i sovereign rights and is shouldering all the responsibility of office. Ireland is passing through melancholy times, but the show of military efficiency by the Irish home army means happiness and prosperity arc being won back for the Emerald Isle against Ireland’s final enemies. 9 Barbarous Mexico IF you have ears to hear, open them now to anew shriek from Mexico. There’s no doubt that that barbarous country is going to "the devil with twenty-league boots. Here’s the legislature of Chihuahua state passing a law that no one individual may hold more than 2,300 acres of eultivatable land. If you have more than that, the surplus must be sold, under state supervision, to such little j fellows as want to farm but have no land. That probably means farm hands. The law gives them twenty years to pay. About 200 Americans will have to reduce to a measly 2,300 acres, or about four square miles, of land. M’hat’s the world coming to ?

ANSWERS Ton can ret an answer tc any question of fact or information by writing to The Indianapolis Times Washington Bureau. 1322 New York Ave.. Washington. D. C.. enclosing 2 cents in stamps. Medical, legal and lore and marriage advice will not be given. Unsigned letters will not be answered, but all letters are and receive personal replies.—Editor. Q. —Where is the Tuskegee negro school located and is it conducted entirely by negroes? A.—The Tuskegee Normal and Inti ustrial Institute is located at Tuskegee, Ala., and is conducted entirely by . negroes. The object ot the school is \ to provide agricultural and industrial training and to fit men and women for the ministry and social and religious work. The tuition is free. Q. —Can a tallow candle bo made that will hold its erectness under all climatic conditions? A.—The United States Bureau of Standards says they do not test candles, but from the available date on the melting points of tallow and stearin,-they can see no reason 'why a genuine tallow, or still better, stearin, candle should not hold its shape j at 100 degrees F. or a little higher. Q. —Is the electric weld better when i the arc is allowed to play on melted I metal or when barely allowed to fuse i and deposit the metal? A. —In electric arc-welding it is ne- | cessary to form an intimate union between the base metal and the weld, J also between the various layers which constitute the weld. This can be most readily accomplished by the first con- | dltion mentioned. If carried to ex-: cess, howe\-er, a very porous and brittle weld will probably result. Q. —Is “Bob” a diminutive of Robert? A. —It is so considered now, but the j word “Bob. Bub. or Bube” appears in j the early Teutonic, signifying boy. j Q. —In the name of the poet Percy i Bysshe Shelly, how is the middle name pronounced? A. —Bysshe Is pronounced as if it ! were spelled “Bish.” A reader of this column asks for information and suggestions on the correct methods of introducing people and acknowledging introduc- j tions.

CONSUMER Sees ‘Agonizing Consequences” Os “Strike Victory-” i To the Editor of The Times I observe officials of the mine j workers are claiming a victory in the j ! settlement of their dispute with the i coal operators. “What a victory!” | In this victory I see pictured the \ homes and happiness of the miners 1 lesuming jobs they were were loath to leave. I see thousands of shopmen, 1 organized and unorganized idle for weeks. I see clerks and small tradesmen unemployed and without .funds! I see business men wearing a haggard look of anxiety over credit at the banks! I see thousands of State ttoopers separated from their homes j and from their businesses for weeks! j And in the background I see re- | tiected the “agony” of the coal j operators who find themselves forced j to pay the 1921 wage scale! I see j them recoil in terror at the prospect of financial bankruptcy and moral | responsibility to the public! I see i \ them pauperized. In rags, begging i j along the highways of business, soon j j again to reflect the favorable lnj tluences of peace in the mines and on ! the railroads! And before tne I see a statement for | domestic fuel which ordinarily Is re- ! tailed at $7.25 per ton, calling for $12.50! A great victory, indeed, and one to be proud of. COAL BURNER. To the Editor of The Times In yesterday’s issue of the Times I read a very interesting story of ! an accumulation of underground gases and the subsequent! which acorn pan ied the release of the j charge. Accompanying the story is j an ' explanation by Prof. Bruner, of j Butler College, of the causes of the j phenomenon. By your paper one would be led to j believe such an explosion was new to ! I science. In reality, there have been a j number of such cases, one in pap- i ticular which is mentioned in one of | the closing chapters of Charles Major’s "Bears of Blue River,’’ a i much read boys’ book. In this j | account the story is told of a similar j accumulation of gases in a cavern, j somewhere in the vicinity or Shelbyville, Ind. A prefatory note to the book points to the authenticity es the catastrophe, as it was in this case. HAROLD M. PARSON.

PRESIDENT If FORCE ABANDON OF MANY MINES Investigation Commission, if Appointed, Will Attempt to Reduce Waste. SOFT COAL CROUP GUILTY Government Report Indicates Full Time Labor Could Be • Restored, Possibly. By C. C. LYOX. Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—1 t is almost a foregone conclusion any Federal commlss.on appo.nted by President Harding to investigate an 1 j "stabil ze” the coal rmning industry j will recommend the clos ng, througn J Government act.on, of thousand* of h gh-cost, unprofitable bituminous mines. The main idea behind the proposed j Government .nvestigatton is to br.i g j about conditions in the industry so j miners w.ll have full-time employmen and coal can be m ned and marketed at the lowest possible pr.ee con- I s.stent with fair wages and fair re- j turns on cap.tal invested. Government experts have some !m- j pressive figures showing present-day | wastes .n the\b.tum nous industry. For instance, during the recent war more than 4,000 new mines were opened, the operators being encouraged and attracted by the h,gh, wart me profits in coal. In 1917, when the United States entered the war, 10,634 bituminous i mines were in operation, but this nurn-! ber increased to 14,766 by 1920. In 1910, the average production of ail bituminous mines was 71,549 tons a year, in 1917, an average of 51.554 tons and an average of only 38,512 in 1920. “Overhead” Ke.sponsible. The significance of the abnormal increase in the number of mines in the ten-year period and the equally , abnormal decrease in the average production is the higher “overhead” ex- j penses resulting in increasing produc- | Hon costs and also more idle days per year for the miner. From 1910 to 1920, the number of "first class" bituminous mines, which average more than 200,000 tons a year, increased from 618 to only' 701, while “fourth class” mines, with an average annual production of from 10,000 to 50,000 tons. Jumped from 1.568 to 3,160, while “fifth class” mines, with production of less than 10,000 tons a year, skyrocketed from 1,909 to 6,595. According to government figures all present-day mines, operating full time, would produce 40 per cent more coal than thq country could use. This means about 40 per cent idleness for

; the miners. i Loss in wages from “too many | mines* amounts to $280,000,000 a year ! I in normal mining times and an addi- \ tional loss to the coal mine owners of j $124,000,000 In interest charges, mainj tenance on "idle days” and various | overhead charges. Government figures place the total j number of bituminous miners in 1921 ;at 600,000 and anthracite tinners at \ \ 160,000. In 1910, the number of bitu- j ; minous miners was 565,000 and anthracite 170,000. UNUSUAL FOLK By EE A Service WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 17.

British Daredevil Airmen Will Compete in 900-Mile Derby for Coveted Trophy

By UILTOX BRONXER . LONDON, Aug. 17. —Britain’s most daring flyers will compete Sept;. 8 in a 900-mile aerial derby for the king’s aviation cup. The course of the race will be a giant circle drawn around the Interior of the British Isles. The derby is the climax of a series of races encouraged by the government with a view of keeping aviators in the game and testing to the fullest extent their endurance and the rellj ability and speed of various makes of machines. Attention of every European interested in flying is centered on the poming event. The circuit wdl Include Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool and Bristol. Start at Croydon Competitors will be started from the big aerodrome at Corydon in accordance with the proportion of their handicap allotted for the first section and will be timed from the given i signal to start. At the end of the first section, the j airplanes will be housed for the night. | Landings between the controls are alj lowed. j Among those who are having raa- | chines built and who will enter them, | Just as wealthy men build yachts and | enter them in races, are the Duke of | Sutherland president of the Air ; League; Lient. Col. Frank McClean, vice chairman of the Royal Aero Club, and the heads of nearly every airplane factor yin Great Britain. All Types of Planes The entries will include all the best I known types of British airplanes, ranging from big twin-engine machines to little single seaters. Some of the best-known fliers in Britain wfll man the machines. Capt. A. F. Muir will fly a D. H. 9 which, j Is the property of the Duke of Suth ] j erland and J. H. Janies will race in a I

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR FROM MEREDITH NICHOLSON

\ To the Editor of The Times I am aware that It la considered I rankly unethical for a newspaper to j brag of the personnel of its staff, but j I am moved by the Times' change of j ownership to say a few works to its j readers about two of the gentlemen j who have assumed responsibility for ! the destinies of the paper. To those ! of us who like to think of Indianapolis I as a big cheerful family of folksy pooj pie it is a pleasure to know that both ; Mr. Roy \V. Howard and Mr. Earle E. Martin are thorough-going Hoosiers, | who know the traditions and speak j the language. These gentlemen are not carpetj baggers stealing into town to exploit it but sons of our own soil, who began their newspaper careers right, here at homo and have made themselves known wherever typo la set and newspapers are printed. Both have had unusual training and experience. Mr. Howard's dallyings with printer’s Ink I began while he was still a student In ' the Manual Training High School. As I somewhat instrumental in a very small way in th£ founding of this ! splendid Institution it pleased me the other day to hear Mr. Howard speak jof Manual gratefully, not merely for ! its sound instruction but as a great and inspiring center of American democracy. Mr. Howard, after leaving Indianapolis, served as a reporter, staff correspondent and editor until he became finallXpresident of the United Press, one ofriie world’s greatest news collecting agencies. His work as a press association correspondent and exeeu- ; tive took him to every part of the world During the great war he had varied and inter‘sting experiences on both the allied and the German fronts in his search for news. He is a Cosmopolitan: he knows the large world even as the much-traveled Ulysses. He I has beer in personal contact with j j most of the political, military and'

On the right, you see the national commander of the American Legion flying from Tacoma, Wash., to Bremerton, Wash. Than he flew to Seattle for the third speech. AS IT SEEMS By BURTON BRAIffY WHEN Uncle Sam was running of the railroads There was quite a lot of kick ing at tho job. For some people would forget war conditions must be met. And the air with many protests was a-throb; All the knockers in the country made a tumult, So your Uncle Sammy made his little bow, And. admitting all his boners, gave tho roads back to their owners, * And—you see how muen improvement there is now. WHEN Uncle Sam was running of tho railroads, He lost a lot of money, it is true. And the private operators posed as rehabilitators, ' Who would doctor up the roads and puli ’em through. All they asked of Uncle Sam was half a billion. With another half a billion now and then; Then they added to the rate on the passengers and freight, SO the public paid ’em half a-s much again. WHEN Uncle Sam was running of the railroads, He didn’t do as well as we might ask. But they helped to win the war (which was what we took ’em for), After private owners bungled at the task. Still, we rated private ownership a blessing, • Though at present It seems rather the reverse. For It surely seems .to me, viewing matters as they be, ’ That your Uncle Sam could hardly run ’em worse. (Copyright, 1922, NEA Servicb)

I economic leaders of his time. I doubt I whether another man of his age anywhere lias been on the Inside of so much history in the making. Os Mr. Martin I can speak with all the pride of n discovrger He does not s'-eni to hold it against me that I am guilty of having launched him in the newspaper business. When I dis- ■ covered him he was a bright-eyed student in Moore’s Hill College, down near the Ohio River. Nothing could keep him down. He was first a reporter and ultimately the managing editor of the Indianapolis News. Later It was under his editorial leadership and direction that the Star was launched and brought to mircess It was while yet under thirty that ho transferred himself to Cincinnati where his Identification with the Scrlpps-Mcßae league of Newspapers began. Mr. Martin’s energy, vision and extraordinary news sense brought rapid promotion until he became the editor-in-chief of all the papers In the Scripps League Latterly he reorganized and became the president nnd one of the principal stockholders of the Newspaper Enterprise Association, one qf the most important of the Scripps journalistic institutions. Wherever he lands anywhere in tho United States Earle Martin Is at borne. Tie is not only at home bu{ in a few hours' time he has found Just the right people to give him the tr ie state of local opinion Asa .Judge of news values and in his ability to sense the news interests of plain every day folks he Is probably without a peer in American journalism today. But what has particularly endeared Mr. Martin to me is his understanding of the origin, the history and !h* temper of the Hoosier people. He knows that we of_xhc Hoosier tradition i can not be fooled driven or pushed. We are a thinking people. We philosophize from tho best facts we can

francs for successive winners. The cup this year will not be awarded except to a competitor who makes an average speed of at least 175 miles an hour. The first holder of the cup was Emmanuel Helen in 1912. His average speed was 82.6 miles an hour. Iu 1913 Gilbert won it with a speed of 102 miles an hour. In 1920 the famous Sadi Lecointe won it. his speed being 165 miles an hour. France has thus won three times in succession.

get. This man Martin has a passion I for facts. He collects and devours ! facts with the avidity of a starving man. With two such men conducting the \ Times the people of the State may be sure that when it cornea to news they will get what an Indianapolis poll- | tlclan used to call "The God's truth ; of the whole business,” whatever tho I business may be. We must ail bo conscious—we who know and love Indianapolis—that the town has changed mightily in the last twenty years There used to be manifest a disposition to v!<-w a little guardedly. if not suspiciously newcomers who came to throw ir, their lot with us Tills, fortunately for the city, has ceased to be true Too many young men of brains and pluck have come in from the outside and demonstrated their ability in every field for any old-timer to back up against the city gates and look askance at anew man who is lent on getting his name in the cltv directory. I hold in affectionate regard many 1 friends who are of the old order: but not less interesting are those who have Injected new life Into the currents of home affairs I should far exceed *h4 reasonable limits of space if I attempted to enumerate all these far seeing men who have contributed -o largely to the cltv advancement —• the Carl Fishers, the Hokes and IIol- ; combs the Henry Campbells, the I Stutzes and the Hasslers. who have | made two chimneys to smoke where | one or none had darkened the sky before Tn extending the right hand of fellowship to my old friends of tho Times, T merely want to assure them that in assuming their task of m Jtlng a great and useful public servant of their newspaper thev could hardly have an- | neared at a more fortunate hour. Old nnd new are working together in perfect harmony Indianapolis is a city that has mme than fulfilled every prediction ever made of it. It has just begun: it couldn’t stop no\y if it wanted to. Ts three hundred nnd twenty thoui sand why not half a million? There’s

no reason why not. There arc things Indianapolis sorely nc<sls And what it needs it will get! Most of all it nerds to be aroused to the Importance of an enlightened municipal government. The old partisan idea which opens the mayor’s office to anv adventurer who can get himself elected is a dead thing. It’s dead in the minds of people who are capable of sober-thinking. The practical politician will die in the last ditch before ho will relinquish his hold upon a | city as big as Tndiananolis. that colors the politics of a whole State. But the present system must go. And it Is to the vigorous new element that has come to the city that we may look with the greatest assurance for a change. No mayor shackled to a political party can administer a city’s i business as it should h administered. | which Is just as th* affairs of a trust j company or a great Industry are managed.—in the interest of the stockholders. And the stockholders o f a city are its citizens, entitled to dividends in the highest type of service. Many renders of the Times no doubt feel that tho eitv needs something or a lot of things that it hasn’t got. Perhaps these reflections of mine will move many readers to write to the Times the|r views on the subject; “What does Indianapolis need?” Certainly not knocks hut boosts; not destructive criticism but ideas that can be built on by the thousands who love the city and seek its prosperity and the happiness of the whole population.

JERSEY PRIMARY RINSES IN FICRT OVER WET ISSUE Governor Edwards, Candidate for Senator, Adopts Lone Argument. AIDED BY DRY AGENTS Strict Enforcement Causes Public Clamor for Beer and Light Wines. By FRANK J. TAYLOR. Times Staff Correspondent JERSEY CITY, Aug. 17. “How dry I am, How dry I am, Nobody knows How dry I am.” The stra ns of this tender old dirge ring forth from a soulful band, when Governor Edwards of New Jersey, opens a polit cal meet.ng to tell voters why he should be the Democratic nom nee for the United State Senate. Edwards .s very serious about it, as is the wet and dry Issue in New Jersey. Two years ago Edwards, pres dent of the lead ng bank of Jersey C.ty, promised to “make New Jersey as wet as the Atlantic Ocean” if we were elected Governor. For a time Edwards made good his prom se. During the last few months, Commissioner Haynes’ Federal dry agents have descended upon New Jersey in various formations and more or less dr ed up the State. Proves Boomerang In so doing they have given Edwards ammunit on for his present campaign. Activity of the dry agents, |he thinks, has aided him materially in attracting the votes of thirsty and protesting Jerseyites. The strange thing in New Jersey is that wh.le the Republ can can&dates for senatorial nomination are fighting it out on almost every problem confronting the Admnistrat.on, the Democrats are making prohibition the r sole campa gn issue. Th.s ads Edwards, against whom no serious opponent has yet appeared. Edwards’ strictly wet cam- : paign, as analyzed by an old hand at i politics, in effect, means this: If Edwards should be elected to the ! Senate it would give the wet issue a new lease on life and keep it popping. If he is overwhelmed It is a Waterloo for light w ne and beer, and all the wet plunks for good—that’s sure. BLEMISHES BY DR. R. H. BISHOP i ~1 OES that mole or wart on your face B bother you every S time you look m J 5 WT ’’E the mirror? I I B If you are young, : |gU a wart or mole :jg v Cj will not harm you, * W ymV. ~ /£§ except as an un~Z- sightly blemish. 5 * n a ” e . however, it may turn .nto a m.l g nant growth. A cancer sometimes manifests itself in the form of a wart | or mole. It is for this reason, perhaps more 1 than because they are beauty spoil- ; ing marks, that people have them re- ' moved. The electric needle is used to re- : move small moles. For the larger ones the X-ray, radium and “dioxide. snow” have been employed successfully. For a large mole an operation, which is not as bad as it’ sounds, is that of cutting out the blemish and drawing the edges together. Sometimes a wart may be removed by use of salicylic acid. Cleanliness has often been found useful in getting rid of warts. An abundance of soap and water, followed by the use of a powder, such as boric acid or alum, often will do where other tilings are of no use.
