Sing praises to thè Lord, whlch dwelleth in Zion; declare among thè people Hls dolngs.—Psalms 9:11. Unreported Hold-ups -T IS a startling fact, and, Troni another point of X vlew, a sad commentary on tho morata of thè community, that numeroua hold-ups are occurring in Marion County without belng reported to thè police. This was brought out clearly in thè request of Captain of Detectives Jerry Kinney that persona who have been held up furnish descriptions of thè hold-up men to thè police. He promlses no questiona will be asked. There is no question that thes© hold-upa he ve occurred. The police know these thlngs, but they can t prosecute without prosecuting witnesses. Persona held up under embarrassing circumstances only in rare instances report thè fact to thè police. With this condition existing, thè police are handicapped immeasurably. Their hands are tied. It is a problem that must be solved, but thè solution is far from apparenL There probably always will be automobile parties, and as long as there are automobile parties there will be hold-up men who will take advantage of thè situatlon. Twenty Years of Good Work , n HIS week has brought wlth it a notable anniversa ry. jL It is thè twentieth annlversary of thè double-barred Red Cross, that emblem of thè anti-tuberculosls associatlon whlch has meant health and happiness to countless thousands. Th© association has heen celebrating thè anniversary of ita emblem. In this connection it is pointed out that since thè organization has been in operation in Marion County, som© nine years, thè death rate from tnherculoeis has been decreased nearly 60 per cent Much of this decrease has undoubtedly been brought f.bout through thè efforts of thè Marion County Tuberculosis Association. What enterprise could be more worthy than one which saves human lise? The Christmas seal carapaign will soon be opened in behalf of thè organization. It certainly deserves thè hearty support of thè public. Who Gets thè Money? XCHANGE of goods between nations is commerce, K and that is thè end and aim of thè building up of a merchant marine, which in turn should be thè only aim of a ship subsidy. Great Britain is thè best example of a great merchant marine. Her historical supremacy lay in thè ownership of vessels called “tramp ships.” They dld not run on regular routes, but sailed thè seven seas, keeping moving all thè time, and picking up cargoes wherever possible. Normally, about one-half of thè carrying power of j British ships is employed in Service between foreign ; ports, and wholly outside thè United Kingdom. Only about one-half of thè entries on and clearances at British ports are ships under thè British flag. The other half being taken care of by ships flying foreign fiags. The Lasker ship subsidy bill would not give on© penny of assistance or subsidy to any merchant ship which thus traded between foreign ports, for thè subsidy bill says subsidy shall not only be paid on mile-. age on “a voyage of which one of th© porta is a port of thè United States.” Also, thè shipping board may require that subsidized ships be run on regular linea. So thè subsidy does not go to “tramp ships” nor to ships that ply between Atlantic and Pacific ports of thè United States. And it goes only to such ship owners as thè membera of thè shipping board may elect. Regular ccean liners —passenger ships as distin* guished from cargo ships—and thè ships owned by great shippers, such as Standard Oil and thè United Fruit Company, would get thè subsidy. But thè $30,000,000 annusi subsidy that Mr. Harding tells of is thè lesser part. The owners of thè subsidized ships do not pay income tax on thè proflts of their ships. More than that. Standard Oil and thè United Fruit, etc., may deduct from their Federai taxes 5 per cent of thè freight they pay themselves on their own goods. Loaning $125,000,000 —as thè subsidy bill provides—to subsidize ship owners at 2 per cent will cost thè taxpayers an additlonal $2,500,000 a year because thè treasury pays 4 per cent when it borrowa thè money and it will save thè subsidized owners $6,000,000,000 as against thè government loan rate of 6 per cent which farmers have to pay. The eubsidy is a “cost plus” arrangement, since thè subsidy runs until a vessel earns more than 10 per cent proflt over expenses. In a word thè subsidy bill is for thè benefit of big passenger liners and big trusts which ship their own goods in "ir own ships. The $30,000,000 subsidy paid out of thè treasury is only a starter, to which is added corporation, proflts and income tax exemption and 2 per cent loan of $125,000,000 out of Uncle Sam’s cash box.

Marriage and Suicide GET married and decrease thè number ot suicides in your professions, is thè advice of doctcrs and lawy3are, by Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, nationallv known. “Suicide statistica always reveal that unmarried men are more susceptible than married men," says Dr. Knopf. He’s right. Suicide usually resulta from self-plty—-thinklng too much of one’s self. Less time for tbat when you have to think about a family. A Tip to Investors THIS editoria! is addressed to folks who have money to invest. Have you been invited to join thè Jim Casey or thè John Smith oil pools whose gusher fields “are thè best, safest and quickest chance for fabulous wealth within thè reach of man?” Maybe you’ve recently received an invitation through thè mails, but you have failed to grasp thè idea conveytd in thè advertisements that these pools are “thè master-key which unlocks thè secret chamber of success." Maybe you don’t appreciate thè fact that John D. Rockefeller has made a billion out of oil and is stili going strong? The country is being flooded with salesmanship literature paint Ing thè untold riches that stili await investors in “oil pools.” Before you send in your money, gentle reader, try ont thè following “acid test” that thè vrriter of this editorial followed thè other day. Answering one of these invitations he wrote thè chlef promoter: “First, give me thè names of ten persons for whom your schemes have made money in thè past “Second. fnrnish me a swora statement shovlz>< hovr

much of your own money and that of your immediate associates you have put in your enterprise. "Third, furnish me statements from reputable bankers and business men that you have made your money honestly, if you have made any. “Fourth, if your ‘o!l pool' is so .fabulously rich,’ why don't you ask Standard Oil to help you develop it, instead of sollciting my poor $25 subscription?” We wagered we would never hear from thè oil promoter again. We dldn'L

Letters to thè Editor

LIFE RUINED BY WHIPPING. To thè Editor of The Times: I can say thè rod has spoiled my whole lise, and I car. say I had thè most brutal beatings of any girl I ever heard of. I am now 22 years old, but I never will forgot I have mother and father stili living. They were very strict but very cruel, I hate to say. They would beat me at times i nexpected, and I wondered what I had done. Nobody knows what a torment it is unless they have experienced it themselves. It drove me mad and into hysterics and convulsions, and w r hen I was at th(? hospital they wondered what was thè matter with me. I was then 15 years old. I then wondered, too, but now I know. My nerves could not hold out any more, and I experienced thè worst nervous breakdown for a few years, so that I thought I never would get well. Aster I got out of th© hospital I must say I was worse than ever. When they would beat me I thought I would go Insane. Many times I would pray to die, locked In a room by my people all day long and nothIng to ©at. I would have Jumped from thè window, but 1 might havé suffered more by doing so, and not die, either. I would nearly crv myself to death to think that my own father and mother could treat me so cruelly. I always had some black and blue marks on me. Nothing would have suited me better than death. I could stand it no longer and was driven away from tome when 15 years old. Nobody knows how I have suffered. I only hope that other parents will not beat their children lnto hysterics or fits so it will min their lives, as I am considered one of thè worst criminale now, but will have to make thè best of it, now. Had I been treated klndly I could have been something, as I always had ambltion to be something, but now I ani nothing only to be slandered about. M. F.

GIVE CHILDREN FREEDOM. To thè Editor of The Times: I have reared a large family and I flnd that some children are better to understand than others. I flnd that whipplng does no good, but thè children must know that they should mind. All children should have a ( little freedom just as grown people. What makes children disobedlont Is to be always flnding fault with them. H, r. r.

WOODRUFF TOWN BECAUSE OF UNINVITED COW HERDS

Wodruff Place ls Woodruff Place beì cause a herd of dairy cows insisted I upon making pastures out of tbe front | yards of nine originai residerts in 1876. W. W. Lowry, who was attorney for ! thè town board of Woodruff Place for many years. told thè story today as follows: "Woodruff Place pccupiea thè half ; of a quarter section, elghty acres and : was purchased by J. H. Woodruff from i thè late Col. Mose McClain and others, j except eighty acres in thè south-east I corner which was owned by Dr. Coni- | ingore. Woodruff and Comingore joln ed in platting of thè Place and this was done In 1873. Mr. Woodruff expended a large sum of money In streeta, sldewalks, sewers, fountalns and other betterments as this vicinlty experienced a great “boom” In reoal estate at that time. “Ùnfortunately for Woodruff, thè panie of 1873 carne along and thè lots that he was expecting to sell for from six to elght thousand dollars, wont to S3OO and a little above.

At that time there was a dairy somewhere east on Tenth St., then Clifford Ave., and thè dairyman sound thè grass just thè thing for his stock and he got into thè habit of opening thè gates and pasturing his stock in thè place. A few hoiìses had been built and thè occupants objected to thè cattle. The idea of incorporating was broached and thè nine votes had an election and Incorporated, thus being able to liandle tho running at large of thè cattle. “At thè time cf Incorporating, thè city dld not approacb Woodruff and there could not then be annexation. Woodruff Place kept up thè flowers, fountalns and other improvements. and went its way; however, thè city grew to thè east and in timo surrounded' thè place. It ia not thè fault of thè place that it was surrounded: it was there flrst. “The fear that thè place would be neglected if annexation took place has caused thè citìzerm to desire to keep their own organization and not be putto thè expense of paying city tnxes and at thè same time be compelled to beautify thè piace.
