Blank’s O thè man!” goes thè veli with which one Indiana college eheers its football warriors when they are injured, brought out of or sent into thè game. Right, boys and girls. He’s thè man. And it’s a fine thing so manv people recognize it this year. It’s a healthy indication that thè he-vamp or thè happy-go-lucky souse is not thè hero of modera youth. The growth of interest in amateur sporta—sport for thè sheer love of it or patriotism for an institution—has been remarkable since thè war, but this year has broken all records. Never have such crowds turned out for golf and tennis tournaments, high school and college basket-ball and football. There are some unhappy folk who think thè thing is going too far, that sports are interfering with education, but they've missed thè point altogether. We have a splendid college president in Indiana who repeatedly has told his students that education is knowing how to live happilv. And there’s no better insurance for happiness than to know how to plav thè game with all that’s in you, fairly and squarely, with due respect for thè other fellow’s rights. Indiana is peculiarly fortunate this year in thè type of men who are coaching thè college football teams. Without exception they seem to realize that while they are building gridiron machines their first duty is to make men. What finer tvpe is there than Ilerron of Indiana, Phelan of Purdue, Ashmore of De Pauw, Yaughn of Wabash, Rockne of Notre Dame, "Wagner of Franklin, who made a star player turn in his uniform because he struck a referee ; Mowe of Earlham, our own Pat Page of Butler and all thè rest of tliem? Signs of Election THREE men and a bucket. You may have seen them. There were 6everal sets of them yesterday going about thè city. And they were inspecting and oiling thè city sire plugs. Each of thè three carried some useful arti eia. One had thè wrench, thè second a hammer and thè third toted a small bucket containing grease and a small paddle for applying it. Each had a duty. The wrench wielder unscrewed thè cap of thè sire plug. The hammer man stood by ready to go into action should thè unscrewing process prove too difficult for thè wrench man. The third fellow took thè paddle from thè gTease bucket and applied a bit of lubrication. Each set of three was accomplishing what could have been done more quickly by one man. But mavbe there were three in each set of workers on thè pay roll of thè city because next Tuesday week is thè first Tuesday in November, and votes will be needed on that day. Meridiani Bumps DESPITE thè jFell-advertised fact that thè city of Indianapolis is notorious for always having work done on its streets, a certain section of N. Meridian St., that strip between Fall Creefc and Thirtv-Eighth St., has been let fall into a sad state of disrepair. It need not be said that Meridian St. is one of thè chief arteries of travel and that literally hundreds of motor cars pass along it every day. Furthermore, it goes without saying that who-

"We hear that Street work is soon to be closed for thè winter season and many North Side commuterà are wondering whether thè city is longer going to tolerate such a condition. Perilous Sparking THE open season for lonely road hold-ups in thè vicinity of Indianapolis The initial ceremonies incident to thè fall and winter highway robbery functions were started this last week-end, with three robberies reported and probably others that were not reported. The easiest victims of lonely road Robin Hoods are thè couples who drive outside thè city limita for thè purpose of finding an isolated spot where they can park and “spark.” Doubtless many “sparking” parties are interrupted by amateur robbers that thè police never hear of. These modera times that bring us automobile pleasures and other up-to-date advantages also furnish opportunities for today’s highwavman. Helping Chicago CIIICAGO takes water out of Lake Michigan through thè Chicago River, which she makes to run up stream. It goes out into thè Illinois, and down thè Mississippi, carrying Chicago’h sewage with it. Not onlv other lake ports, but Canada is interested in this; for every gallon of water taken from thè lake by Chicago makes thè border rivers and thè St. Lawrence just so much lower. Probably this diversion of thè water by Chicago lowors thè levels of all thè lakes except Superior and Eric, something between six inahes and a foot. And now Dean Hayford of Northwestern, has shown that, because of thè lack of water in harbors, every tenth of a foot subtracted from thè harbor depths cause* an annual loss of revenue to ship owners of $090,000 a year. This loss, of course, is charged up to trafile, and thè country pavs it in higher cost of living. If Chicago’s diversion of water lowers thè lake levels six inches, it costs thè country at large something like $30.000.000 a year. This is what thè country chips in to help Chicago to maintain what is a crime in itsolf —thè pollution of streams and thè wasting of hundreds of millions of good fertilizer. New Parking Works FOR many dava we have heard nothing about parallel-to-the-curb parking in thè downtown district. It would indicate thè pian is suocessful, and will be even more successful aster our present torn-up pavements aro replaced along Washington, Meridian and other business thoroughfares. This parallel parking idea was advanced by a Washington St. business man. At first blush it would appear to be contrary to good business thè thought being that thè more automobiles that could be parked in front of his sture, thè more folks would enter his doors and make purchases. It does not seem to work out that way, however, and it does seem to be helpful to some autoist shoppers to bo compelled to park their cars a few blocks north or south of Washington St. and walk to thè Stores. They get exercise that they need—exercise they wouldn't get If they could drive right up and park In front of thè storo they want to visit.

Women Leaders See Partisan Split in Femmine Vote at Corning Election
By NBA Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—The woman vote —how will lt go? That's thè biggest of all questiona In politicai circles these days. If that could be there would be little need of walting for thè bulletins election day to know thè outeome of tho day’s ballotting. Women, unlted politically, would hold thè balance of power. Their favor or disfavor would seat or unseat senators and congressmen. But no unlted action by women in thè Corning elections ls discernable, as election day draws near. Instead, even women leaders ire urging women voterà to align them sei ves definitély with parties. How Republlcans and Democrats are appeallng to thè feminle voterà for their help Nov. 7 ls shown in thè followlng statements wrltten for NEA Service by tho leaders of thè women’s wlng In each of thè two partres. By MBS EMILY NEWELL BLAIR Of Washington, Committeewoman, Democratic National Committee. How will thè Democratic party get thè women out to thè polis? First of all by offerlng thè women an opportunity to rebuke thè present Congress for Its high tarlff with a vote for Congressmen who will oppose thè present lniquitous rates on evcrvthing 1 that women buy for thernseìves and | their families. Women are thè buyers of thè I*nm- , lly and they eannot, as buyers, face thè tremendous lncrease in thè coat of what they buy, without alami. They will flock to thè polis to express this alami In a vote agalnst a Republtcan Congress which has voted for an lncrease in everything they buy. In thè congresslonal debates, Reptiblioan Senators contended th.at this tarlff would lncrease thè cost of artlcles "only a few cents.” But women know that a few cents on every arttcle adda into a big suin on thè whole. Object Is Tarili They will not agree with thè Repub llcan paper which sald that thè new tarlff on wool would "only” lncrease overcoats $6.50. To thè majority of voterà In this country an lncrease of sf,6o on tho price of overcoats never can bo quallfled by "only.” We have attempted to bring this sttuatlon homo to women through publlclty.

The whole trend In polltìcs today ls for men and women to work together, to attend thè same meetings, to hear both men and women speakers, to work on thè same committees, to have offices in thè same headauaiters. During thè last several weeks I have personally met women voters in Ave different States —Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Maryland and Massachusetts. Everywhere I have sound keen, intelligent Interest in thè issues. During thè whole campalgn, through reports recelved at national headquarters, I have kept closely in touch with thè politicai situation as lt affeets thè woman’s vote throughout thè country. Here and there it ls reported women do not understand thè protective tarlff, and lt is asserted this will cost thè Republlcan party their votes. Woinen More Parlisan These reports do not frighten me. I am convinced that thè mlsle-ading statements made concerning thè effect of new tariti rates on prices will have a negligible influence on * thè woman’s vote. The wonien of America as a whole know well that a protective tariti means prosperiti' for thè country. They know that lt will mean that all thè factories will be open and that all thè workmen will be busy. The present campaign shows two thlngs clearly. First: Women are becomlng more partisan. Becond: The women who voted for President Harding In 1920 are continulng their afflliatlons with thè Republican party. Tho conference on limltations of armaments has nullified thè feeling many women held for thè League of Natlons. It showed America could play a great part In thè peaee of thè world without making any dangerous entanglement3 with other natlons and without thè sacrifico of this country’s fndependent posltlon.

She has come to recognize, however. a repellant factor In thè sewing-clrcle plety of too many mlnlsters of thè present day. ‘‘A3 for Colonel Georg Harvey, who represents thè Unlted States Government at King George’ Court," sald Miss Rogers, "at flrst thought lt is too bad he has taken advantage of his prominence to glve Buch loud voice to those doubts of his concem ing thè ten commandmentn. But on second thought maybe it was a good thing to get such matters into diseus* slon sq that thè forces of religlon. might say their say with thè oppor* tunity of equal prominence. Applles to Women "Mr. Harvey says, I see, that women may infer that they have carte bianche to do all thè thlngs forbidden by thè ten commandments because thè commandments apparently were made for men only,” sald thè woman pastor, reviewing thè account of Harvey’s speech in London. “Of course thè commandments do apply to both men and women. The tenth commandment speciflcally forblds covetlng thy nelghbor’s wlfe, but wa naturally infer that lt likewlse torbida covetl ng thy neighbor’s husband. The only reason why husbands weren’t mentioned, too, ls that men are polygamous whereas women, In thè past at least, were monogamous." But lf there be any doubt about lt —considering thè day’s divorces and small-arms practice—Miss Rogers ls wllllng to be practicaL Let religlon speak out and say that women must not covet their nelghbor’s husbands. That would be a slmple way of al* laying thè confuslon which seems to possess thè minds of some women. "The trouble is," she sald, “that there are a lot of foollsh, insincere women who overeat and overdress and have not enough to do, and who flutter around thè men of thè mlnlstry. They regard them almost as goda. They harm thè mlnlsters. In Dangerous Posltlon "Take that New Brunswick minI ister. thè Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall. ! He was In a dangerous poslton and i there are many clergymen who. In i making pastoral calla, usually pick j out thè women of their congregntlons. Unless a mtnlster’s noblllty ls very broad and deep he is in danger. He causcs thè world to look on thè church with suspielon. "And thè clergy ls honeycombed ivlth such men. They make little | talks at strawberry festival and rum- ■ mage sales. wherees they should bave i women assistants for such duties, j which are not matters of religlon at j all.

SPEEDERS Outrun Flivvers By l nited Ne ten DES MOINES, lowa. Oct. 28. —• Chief of Police John Hammond ls slck and tired of humping over highwuys 'in police flivvers and pleading with i them to catch twin six and elght oyUnder cars. “I asked thè city councll for speed cars and they gave me flivvers," Hammonii sald. “Speeders have no respect for us now. They pass our cara without even slowlng up and soon outdistance us w'hen we try to catch them. It simply can’t be done.” Hammond ls more than 50 years old and thè idea of straddllng a motorcycle does not appeal either to hlm, or his speeders squad. The chief Insista on regular four-wheeled automobile capable of high speed. and thè city council can’t bear thè thought of parting with thè money. So lt looks as if Hammond would have to continue his campalgn agalnst speeders on a fllvver baals, trustlng to hills, chuck holes and sandy stretohe to coach thè offenderà, whose tallllghts have so often glven hlm thè bird.
