LET'S forced closing of a school because the HAVE I ’ wind threatened to lift a portable building SCHOOLS .i. filled with children from its foundations has served again to call attention to the deplorable school situation in Indianapolis. The Times has no criticism for the personnel of the school board. Neither has it any fault to find with those who are criticising the personnel pf the board. It seems to be a purely pei*sonal fight and The Times is not interested in personal fights. This paper is interested in obtaining adequate school faeili-! tics for the children of Indianapolis. If the tight between the board and some of the citizens is holding up building operations, hostilities should cease. If the school board is responsible W'e should have a school board that will devote its i ttention to building. The question of taxes should not be a serious one. Tbe State is building a reformatory that will cost $3,000,000 or more. It : s buying a State park that will cost $1,000,000. It is increasing expenditures along a number of other lines. Indianapolis will bear its proportionate share of these expenses and that proportion is a big one. These projects are not{ to be condemned, but it is noticeable there has been no general protest against them. Then why should Indianapolis citizens object to erecting a few school buildings? What do you say, you parents whose children’s lives were endangered in a miserable frame building during a storm?
FARMERS OYERXOR McCray is right when he says BLOCKED I some form of cooperative farm marketing is AGAIN needed in Indiana, but his suggestion that a conference be called in a great hurry to draft a bill to take the place of the vetoed marketing measure appears rather futile. The Legislature will not meet again for two years. The slump in agriculture will not wait two years. It is present right now. The cooperative bill vetoed by the Governor might have done a great deal to relieve the financial situation of the farmer. At least a trial could have done little damage during the next two years. If the farmers were dissatisfied with it at that time it could have been repealed or amended. That there are combinations of producers and dealers other than farmers can not be successfully questioned. These combinations are helping to keep the farmers poor and some means is necessary to compete with them. The argument that it would be poor policy to permit— as did the vetoed bill—the cooperative associations to borrow money in unlimited quantities is weak. The association would first have been required to find someone who would lend them more than ordinary business prudence would dictate. Cooperative organizations might ha\e put some elevator operators and middle men out of business, as opponents of the bill have stated. If these people could be put out of business without damage either to producer or consumer, then they have no place in the economic scheme and should be put out of business. KNOWING *T”X yinr don’t our public officials leave the traffic TRAFFIC V ! rules alone? New rules have iust been estabRULES f 7 lisbed and now the city council is being asked to change them. A fundamental thing wrong with the traffic situation in Indianapolis is that the people do not know the rules. Most of the traffic confusion in the city is caused by this ignorance. The rules change so often few drivers have an opportunity to learn them. Let’s adopt a set of rules and keep them in effect long enough for drivers to find ont what they are all about. It is a ten-to-one shot most traffic troubles would disappear. RUSSIA "1 freighters steam from Petrograd, load* AND ed with Russian wheat for Germany. Grain WHEAT JL.

Unsigned letters cannot tie answered, but all letters are confidential, and receive personal replies.—EDlTOß. How did the American soldier first come to be called "doughboy?" The historical division of the War Department eays that the origin of the term has never been definitely decided. What is tfie origin of the saying: “Misery Loves Company?” Asa common proverb it found its first literary expression in Maxim 995 of Publius Syrus (B. C. 42): "It is a consolation to the wretched to have companions in misery.” • Syrus himself puts the same thought in another way in Maxim 144: "Society in shipwreck is a comfort to all." The phrase is also sometimes used to express the idea that “misfortunes never come singly.” Which is the world's biggest circus? The combined Ringling Brothers and Baraum & Bailey's circus. What does “Mizpah” mean? “The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from the other." The word is found in Genesis xxxi. verse 49. It is of Hebrew origin. , Is there such an animal as the “mnle-foot hog,” and what is if? This animal has a rounded unsplit hoof like a mule. The United States Department of Agriculture says that there are not many of these animals in the United States. Can you tell nte something about the pope's ring? There are. in fact, two rings. The one the pope wears on ordinary occa sions, is known as the ring of the bishop of Rome, one of the officers of the r*fpe. The other is worn on spe-
cial occasions and is known as the fisherman’s ring. This is the true papal ring, It is a seal ring with a design of St. ePter fishing. It is used to give authority to papal ordent, and the seal is Impressed on all Such papers. The ring is not buried with the pope, but on his death the seal Is broken. The ring of the Bishop of Rome, however, is burled with the pops. The actual design In detail of th epapal ring may change from pope to pope, but the subject of the design, the fisherman, always remains 'the eame. What are the economic advantages and disadvantages of International trade? Briefly these: International trade makes possible the exchange of products between peoples, and enables one country to obtain products not possible or profitable to be produced In the homo country. It also enables a country to get rid of its surplus prod- | ucts of one kind In exchange for the surplus of other countries, thus benefiting both. Economic disadvantages of international trade have been stated to bo the competition of products I made abroad at low cost with homemade products which must be produced at higher cost, thus lowering the living standards of workmen in the countries which can only produce at high cost things which may he made abroad by low-paid workmen at low cost. On this theory tariffs have been justified. Who invented the fir’s! vacuum cleaner? David T. Kenney of New York is credited with having installed the first vacuum cleaning system In 1902. About 1905, Dr. William Noe of San Francisco constructed the first portable vacuum cleaner: Can you give the name of one of the largest telephone companies in South America?

Ancient Classic Credited With Aiding Prohibition, Hv XKA Service NEW YORK, March 13.—The man who wrote “The Face on the Barroom Floor,’’ the ancient classic that is credited with having: helped bring prohibition, has written another poem —to make amends. Hugh Antoine D'Arcy is 80 and an antl-prohibitionist. When be wrote that first poem thirty-six years ago he didn’t know there was reverse English on It—that it would slap back and help make the nation dry.' “A joke on me—and on America.”’ he said, with a rueful grin, “I’m really a wet, and I've written another poetn as penance.” The new verses—D’Arcy’s last shot at the Volptead law—ls published today for the first time, as given exclusively to Nea Service. The aged writer, mournful over what he thinks was the misdirected energy of “The Face on the Barroom Floor,” which after many years Is one of the most popular recitations in English, hopes his latest effort won’t he misunderstood. "For forty years I bad a glass of sherry before breakfast, and now the Volstead law stops that.’’ he said, giving one of his chief reasons for hostility toward pro lilbition. IVArcy’s well-known poern was re ally called “The Face Upon the Floor,” hiit a publisher inserted tbe word “barroom.'' It wan written, be said, in August. 1887, as he sat with a group in .Toe Schmidt's saloon In Uni6n Square. "The place is Rtlll there,’’ he said, “but .Toe’s retired now and lives on his country estate. I got the inspiration when a shabby man came in and asked for a drink. Joe had a waiter throw him out. tioine of us went to help him as he fell and he told us he had been an artist. That night T kept thinking about him—and the poem was the result. ‘ Soon it was being recited everywhere Sam Bernard made It popular in a vaudeville show. Pomebodj took it to Australia and it became a hit. Then to Europe Thousands have recited it: millions have heard it.” D'Arcy has been a newsboy, actor, and theatrical manager.

jfdlotosfjip ot Prayer Daily Lanten FUbl* and meditation prepared for Ocmunfwsion on Evangelism of Federal Council of Churches. The Peril of Riches
“How hard It is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God." Mark 10:24. Read Mark 10:17-31. “God has made money a part of His W’orld. He has ordained a prominent part in all human life." MEDITATION: Money by Itself is neither good nor bad. The use to which it is put determines its moral value. The rich are in peril lest they come to believe that money can buy all things; and forget that the best things are beyond price. What is my part in making and spending the world’s wealth? God created all for good. HYMN: Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow iti ceaseless praise. PRAYER: O Lord Jesus, give us more charity, more self-denial, more likeness to thee, teacjji us to sacrifice our comforts to others, and our likings, for the sake of doing good. Make •us kindly in thought, gentle in word, generous in deed. Tench us that it is better to give than to receive; better to forget ourselves than to put ourselves forward; better to minister than to be ministered unto. And unto thee, the Lord of love, bo glory and praise forever. Amen>
farmers and agricultural economists for many years. Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, in voting against the bill, voiced the sentiments of some other* besides himself w r hen he said that the m, .-is,:re would give the farmers “too much credit,” and added: "That will be the ruin of them.” Suppose someone were to propose some change in the laws which would take from merchants and manufacturers ft large part of their present ability to borrow: and would add that they can now borrow too easily, and that this will be tho ruin of them. What a howl of protest would go up: Chambers of Commerce and such men as Burton would shout, "Don t you suppose merchants and nianufao•urers have sense enough not to borrow except when it is good business to borrow? Adequate credit can do nothing but good. No man of sense will borrow unless his Judgment tenches him that It's good business to I borrow' He's got to pay, and knows ’ It! The law doesn't force him to borrow. Oive him more credit facilities instead of leas!*' The proposal would be deservedly j nughed down.

LLOYDS DRAWS LINE ON INSURANCE OF i Making of Movies Is Gamble From Start to Finish, Thl* ; tha third of Randan’s ferlus ot artl<'to on tho movta industry. Herein he vivo you (ome Instde view? on the production end of the if*:no. BY CARL A RANDAU NEW YORK, March 13.—Lloyds of London will Insure almost anything from tho State of the weather to the ending of a war. But even they draw a line. They draw It at Insuring motion pictures | productions. Lloyds would regard It j as safer to guarantee that the Prince I of Wales’ first son will have n cleft j chin that a film will make money. ‘ Production of motion pictures is a | tremendous gamble. Half dozen successful pictures will ! make the fortunate producer fabulously rich. One unsuccessful production Is apt to put him down and out. For the independent producer, who i doesn't possess a strangle hold on a j string of film exchanges and movie I theaters, production is highly specula tlve. The movie producer must spend large sums of money in buying the story, in hiring the cast, and in filming the picture. The risk Involved in production has couse<b most bankers to be wary of movies. There are several score large motion j picture producers in the United States j nnd literally hundreds of little producers. The big producers turn out anywhere from three to seventy pictures a year and the little ones anywhere from one or two pictures a year down to a picture every two or three years. There are also many producers of one and two-reel pictures—comedies, travel pictures, -etc. the speculative phase of the picture ! making business has attracted people ! who are Interested In the big, quick ! returns on their Investments. As these profits usually fail to materialize, producers are constantly falling by the wayside. It is a difficult business in which to gain a foothold. Though it cannot be denied that picture, producers—both large and small —have been trying to counteract the indictment of tJupidity by produc- | ing better stories, they are still, for j the most part, much more interested j in tha “stars” than in the story. I The making of stars is similar to i popularizing anew brand of soap j There Is just ono way to do it. Ad j vertise. Hence the motto for prospective ! producers; Get a bankroll of from | $100,090 to $150,000 (the average cost j of producing a feature picture), get ,i j Big Name, preferably with a pretty face and figure—never mind ability or brains—and any old story, and you can't go wrong. p
