Blessed are they that seek His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart. Psalms 119:2. Short Words INDIANAPOLIS students may or may not know that the longest word in our language is “disestablishmentarianism.” If you think it is not a jaw-breaker, observe that it has nine syllables. A student of languages has just discovered a Sanskrit word of 152 syllables. Yet neither of these two words is as important as our little “if,” “no,” or “yes.” "We withhold the lengthy Sanskrit word for fear some political speaker might try to use it in the coming campaign. World Salvation and Christianity FORMER Chancellor Michaelis of Germany spoke before the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America the other day in New York. He is president of the Student Christian Federation of Germany. The great opportunity of the future, he said with emphasis, lies in the development of the spirit of Christian unity. This was the burden of his message to the nations of the world, in this, the darkest time the world has seen for ages. To say that the world would be saved from its present crisis if it were really Christian is a truism. In the mere matter of forgiving each other our debts, the greatest burden of all would be lifted from tlfe nations. And Christ taught that. And “all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them,” said He. That the so-called Christian nations of the world fail even to think Golden Rule as related to national policy is exactly what is the matter with us. And we might well ponder on the question as to whether or not the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount would not be in every way more practicable and salutary in international relations than the present policy of exacting an eye for -an eye and a tooth for a tooth. May not the trouble lie in our hearts rather than in our heads; in the fact that Christendom has become positively unchristian and non-Christian in the coming true of the text: “Ye are the salt of the earth r but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.” Certain it is that Christendom is being trodden under foot, both of men and beasts, and it appears to be going deeper into the mire day by day.

It Touches You for sl3 THE coal mine war is about over. The public, however, will be paying for it throughout the Uvelong winter. The bullheadedness of the coal operators in refusing even to negotiate with the miners before the old wage contract expired will cost YOU and the rest of us not less than $1,500,000,000, or more than sl3 apiece for every man, woman and child in the United States. Think of that, every time you throw a shovelful of coal on your fire. Between now and next April 360.000,000 tons of coal must be mined to meet the Nation’s demands. That coal will cost us at least $3 a ton more than it would have cost us had there been no shutdown. That alone means a gouge of $1,080,000,000! The country has already been fleeced of some $400,000,000 the difference between what coal sold DURING the strike would have cost us had there been no strike and what it actually did set us back. Besides saddling this $1,500,000,000 extra coal bill upon us, just what was accomplished by the shutdown? Nothing. The situation today is PRKCISUIA what it was twenty weeks ago when the coal mine tie-up was visited upon us. The miners go back to work at the same wages, under the old conditions, everything. Whereas, before the strike* they worked only part time, they will now work full time to make up the coal shortage. In the end they will lose nothing. The mine owners, of course, will not lose. To the contrary. Higher prices mean they will make a colossal killing. Only the public loses—’i OU, ourselves and our neighbors. And the worst is yet to come. For the same thing will happen again and again and again—every time the operators think the time ripe for a clean-up—unless steps are taken to stop them. It is up to the Government to find a way.

STORAGE By DR. R. H. BISHOP . - OLD storage is the modem way of f Y\ saving up one j f \** season’s suiplus /IK 'I against needs of / the next. I m >1 To some, coldI J 5 / storage chicken, 1 lv\for instance ,is \ \ jL / viewed askance, V \ S/V but to those who have givVn intelligent study to the subject, the method’s real worth is clear. The effect of cold storage on food has been the subject of deep investigation in the last few years and the results have upset popular theories to some extent. Also there are laws on the subject. Nevertheless, cold-storage food still is blamed for many illnesses. Every housewife who uses a refrigerator is in the cold-stdrage business on a small scale and certain rules enould be recognized by her, just as in great cold-storage plants, to insure the best results. For instance, no food should be placed in cold storage unless mature, fresh and free from disease or deterioration of any kind. Sound, fresh food put in cold storage can be kept in good condition as long as twelve months. There is no necessity for keeping it longer, as by that time there always is anew year’s supply. Investigation has proved that coldstorage foods do not in any way injure the public health. There have been cases of alleged injury, but these have been due to the poor quality of the food at the outset—and cold storage can not make bad food good. With cold-storage warehouses guarded by our boards of health, the public should fear no danger.

Wilson of New Orleans, has a conscience. Police Justice Raymond Clay of Meri- ! dian, Miss., made the fact known. He says that Wilson wrote him that he had given a 25-cent tip to a porter in Meridian. His conscience hurt him so badly since he knew it was against the law that he wanted to know the punishment. Clay said $17.50. Wilson sent the $17.50.

OLD LINERS NEED 111 HOUSE WHIP, LEADERS ASSERT Knutson, Present Republican Boss, Fails to Show Up at Reconvention. NO ONE WANTS THE JOB Anderson of Minnesota, When Proposed, Plans Journey Back West. By XEA Service WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.—Discipline in the G. O. P. has gone to the dogs. Republican leaders in Congress are looking around for I a new Simon Degree who can whip obstreperous Congressmen into line. Tlie trouble is that so many statesmen are back home fixing their political fences and building cyclone cellars for November that party leaders can’t get a quorum in the House. Even the official whose duty it is to round them up—a party official called the whip—jumped the reservation himself! When the House reconvened after its recent recess there was no quorum. And even Harold of Minnesota, the G. O. P. whip, was delinquent. Immediately there was talk of ousting him and naming anew whip. Sidney Anderson, also of Minnesota, was suggested. “Nothing doing." said Anderson. Anderson felt he couldn't discipline others when — "Fve got to go out to Indiana in a day or two," he said, “and I think I'll Just go on out home while I’m about it. Anyway, there’s nothing we can do here in a legislative way that will help our chances in November. We may as well go home and look after our own campaigns." That's the. way four-fifths of House members feel about it. They used to toe the mark when the whip cracked i.he party lash. But now they fear the folks at home more than they do party discipline. “The party can take care of itself in .Washington,” they say. “We ve got our own worries back home." Leaders say the House has never been as split as it is now over important legislation. Meanwhile statesmen's minds are not orl the Job of legislating. They're more afraid of

SOCIOLOGIST Disputes Apple Comment Regarding Shortened Infancy. To the Editor of The Timet Before me is a series of clippings from the Times. Moat interesting of all are those written by Albert Apple for his column. lam exceedingly fond of Mr. Apple's terse comments on daily events and, in general, agree with him to the very detail. But not always— In one of these clippings, Mr. Apple, parenthetically, suggests that with the growth of modern civilization the period of infancy in humans has been shortened In proportion. Which leads us to believe Mr. Apple is less sociological than he should be. It goes without saying that the greatest characteristic of man's intellect is that quality which is nurtured by close association of parents and offspring through the stage of infancy and well into the later period of adolescence. Mr. Apple evidently Is forgetful of the fact that humans remain dependent on the parent well nigh the time of majority. The higher the level of civilization the longer a child Is obliged to depend on its parents for educational fundamentals. The higher a civilization reaches the greater and more expansive become those fundamentals—ones which | even the schools do not teach. A fly emerges from the egg soars away and Is free—but a fly is uncivilized. Man is born, cared for probably two decades, and even then has no assurance he is capable of matching civilization's demands. Mr. Apple weakened the ordinary richness of his daily comment —with me. at least —by saying that the time of infancy had been shortened. SOCIOLOGIST

To the Editor of The Times Seeing an old woman assisted across the street the other day reminds me of a cartoon which appeared shortly before (ho war entitled "Somebody’s Mother." It was one of the most wonderful human appeals I ever saw and by all means ought to be placed somewhere so that everybody could see it. Nearly every day we see old persons. crippled and Infirm, treading the streets, but scarcely ever do we see a helping hand offered. Apparently, it Is the public desire that the old should be forgotten as soon as possible—actually ignored. As the forefathers and mothers of today’s generation they need our aid and assistance. Instead, they are smiled upon, passed by, and left to plod. Because they are poor they have to walk and because they have to walk they are never assisted. OLDTIMERS’ FRIEND.

LEARN A WORD TODAY Today’s word is—RAPPROCHEMENT. It’s pronounced—according to Webster, ra-prosh-man, with the first syllable lightly and the second syllable more heavliy accented, but in its original French form the last syllable is pronounced about hilf way between “mawnt” and “mong,” with the “t” barely, if at all, touched upon, and with the syllables equally accented, a pronunciation lacking an exact equivalent in English. It means—the act or fact of coming or being drawn near or together; the establishment or state of friendly re latlons. It was "lifted” into the , English language directly from the French, “rapprocher," to cause to approach again. , It’s used like this —“Some French leaders believe they have a chance to get their money more quickly and easily by a rapprochement with Germany than through the use of force.” Jersey Jersey, both silk and wool, is very popular for fall. It is made into coat dresses of the straight line type and has very little trimming.

By NEA Service PORTLAND. Ore., -Aug. 28. —Representation in the governing bodies of the Episcopal Church by women will be one of the chief topics of the fortyseventh triennial general convention of the church to be held here Sept. 6. A partial report of the joint commission on women’s work has declared that “a vyy decided weight of opinion that has come to the commission does not favor the establishment of a national house of church women.” The report further sets out that "in many quarters the clergy and the laity .including the womanhood of the laity, have not as yet made up their minds, but are awaiting light upon the matter before expressing an opinion." Offerings Will Be Given This despite the action of several State conventions, which went on record or actually gave women places as deputies.

Government Instrument Making Genius Retires After 35 Years Steady Service

Bo HARRY R HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Tom Edison is a great man, but— Over in the Coast and Geodetic Survey Department you'll find a? lot of folks who'll tell you that E G. Fischer is Just ba great. Fischer lias just retired after thirtyfive years us mechanical engineer anil instrument maker for one of the most exacting and technical bureaus of the Government On the pay roll at a comparatively small salary, he has saved the country untold wealth by his various inventions. During his period of service he has invented, developed or improved every type of scientific apparatus used in the marine and coast surveys. Predicts Rise of Tides Probably Fischer's noted invention is tho United States tide predicting machine No. 2. With it. officials are able to predict the helghth the tides will reach in the year 3022 as accurately as they predict them for the present year. An idea of the accuracy and precision of the machine is shown by the fact that it recognizes the es feet upon the tides of thirty-five component influences —the motion of the moon and sun, the periodic variations of other heavenly bodies, the position of the earth on its orbit around the sun, and similar other astronomical changes. The pull and haul of these Influences in the tides are reflected mechanically in the motion of dozens of

pal ports, for two years in advance Another recent invention of Fischer’s is an artificial sextant, which enables mariners to make observations to locate their latitude and longitude when the horizon is obscured. Signal lights for use of surveying parties, developed by Fischer, have made new records for long distance, low-powered illumination. With an auto headlight as a reflector, and with three dry ceils furnishing the current, the light was seen for eighty-five miles. “The secret is the filament," says Fischer. “We concentrated the maximum filament into the smallest possible spot for illumination. The result is that all the light rays are directed parallel, Instead of radiating out. One man read a paper by one of these lights two miles away." Other inventions of Fischer include: a highly accurate geodedic magnetometers, transit micrometers, pressuresounding tube for ascertaining ocean depths accurately, tide gauges and much other technical equipment.

iILCAHY LOOMS CAPABLE LEADER OF IRISHAFFAIOS National Sentiment Favors Commander in Chief for Collins’ Post. / MINISTRY CHOICE WAITS Cosgrave Being Considered as Probable Dail Eireann Spokesman. By MILTON BRONNER Times Staff Correepondent LONDON, Aug. 28. —Island looks to Richard Mulcahy to be a second Michael Collins and William Cos grave to be a second Arthur Griffith. Mulcahy, already named command-er-in-chief of the Free State army, ie generally believed to have been Collins’ own choice for the post. Cosgrave will likely head the ministry when the Dail Eireann meets Sept. 9. Short in stature and spare oi frame, with the youthful smoothshaven face of a scholar rather than a fighter, Mulcahy is credited with having organizing brains in mllitary affairs. Cosgrave is cue of the few Dail members having a wide knowledge of public affairs. Both men supported the treaty with England negotiated by Griffith and Collins. Was Postal Official Mulchay is the son of the postmaster of Clare and himself began life as a postal official. In 1916 he joined the uprising and was the real leader in the fight at Ashbourne. Dismissed from the postal service, he became a student in the medical department of the National University. Later he was admitted to the inner councils of the Sinn Fein and rose to chief of staff of the republican army. Mulcahy became minister of defense in the provincial government and remained chief of staff of the army. Cosgrave Ex-Alderman Cosgrave for years was an aiderman in Dublin. He participated in the 1916 uprising and when the British stormed South Dublin workhouse he was in command of the defenders. He was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to life imprisonment because he had merely taken command when his younger brother, his superior officer, was killed. Granted amnesty in 1917, Cosgrave was elected Sinn Fein member of Parliament for Kilkenny City. He was sent to Mount Joy prison by the British and took part in the famous hunger strike that resulted in the death of Thomas Ashe. Released From Jail He was released in bad health and became minister of local government in the first Dail, devising the plan whereby town boards refused to turn ever books, papers and money to British government representatives. Jails were soon filled with Irish town clerks, but the local government was paralyzed as far as the British were concerned. Cosgrave was one of five in the Dail cabinet who sanctioned the peace treaty. Like Mulcahy, Cosgrave is below middle height. He is fair, with gray hair and mustache, and his face chows indellible marks of prison suffering.
