WELCOME -y T is evident that every year basket-ball obCLEAN I tains a tighter grip on Indiana. Young and SPORTS X old forgot their troubles and their worries during the tournament just closed and got out and rooted for the home-town team. If the home-town team lost they literally, or figuratively, slapped its members on the back and proceeded just as hard to root for somebody else’s home-town team. There can’t be much wrong with a State that can do that. Pessimists are forever insisting that we are headed for the bowwows, but just such a demonstration of clean sportsmanship claiming the attention of almost an entire citizenship indicates they are wrong. It indicates a healthy and normal condition of the minds of the people. Those who are forever harping about a decline in the morals, the mentality and the physical condition of the younger generation, would, if they had taken one look at those lusty youngsters who filled the coliseum and those hardy boys playing game after game under the most exhausting physical strain imaginable, have been forced to change their minds. Such an event goes a long way to disprove the seemingly popular theory that the younger generation is a generation of weaklings and incompetents. The Times congratulates the winners for their success, the losers for their sportsmanship and the rooters generally for their attitude toward the .tournament, an attitude which is a credit to the State of Indiana. SHEEP- YTE read a book because we want to or beLIKE I ) cause we are led to? Has the term “browsREADERS J ' ing in literary fields” died in these fleet, modern times? Is there no such thing as sitting down to an hour or so with the printed page for the sheer love of it? Robert Cortes Holliday, an Indianapolis man, evidently believes most of us read like we vote —the way somebody tells us to. In the March Bookman, Holliday writes of finding a learned professor who “sits down and revels in somethnig because he wants to —something that there hasn’t been a word about in the 'literary’ news for goodness knows how many years." He sighs: "Aye, reading in general has got most deplorably to be a very stereotyped proceeding. Literary opinion is very largely manufactured, like political sentiment. A President and a best seller may come about in ways not altogether dissimilar. And it may be strongly suspected that the seemingly popular judgment on a book is rarely a really honest expression of a taste.” Wonderful, this power of advertising—marvelous.

Spring is on its way and it will be time to plant, seeds before you realize it. Remember those gardens springing forth from even vacant lot in Indianapolis during the war? They did a lot to solve the economic problem. This year, for the first time the war, the Patriotic hardening Association, the semi-public institution that listed vacant, lots and employed plowmen, is not going to operate because it has not been given an appropriation. But this should not prevent any citizen from getting out and raising a few onions and radishes and beans. Better start looking for that vacant lot now. There is more exercise in a hoe than in a golf club, and it is more profitable.

Ancient Egyptian Method of Embalming Is Fully Known

T *; i -nc.t letters cannot be answered but ail lett*-.--are confidential, and receive personal replica.—EDlTOß. Are the methods of tnakinp: mummies used by the ancient Egyptians known? The ancient Egyptian methods of embalming are fully known. There were three methods, the method chosen depending on the rank and means of the family of the deceased. By the first, the brains were removed, an Incision was made, and the intes tines removed, the abdomen cleansed With palm wine, sprinkled with pound ed perfumes, the cavity filled with pure myrrh, pounded, cassia and other perfumes, and the Incision sowed up. The body was then steeped with natron for seventy days, washed, wrapped in bandages of flax, smeared with gum. By the second process the intestines were not removed, a solvent being simply injected into the body before the natron bath to dissolve and remove the intestines. For the poorest people the abdomen was simply rinsed with "smyrnao" before the natron bath. Other methods were used by various peoples of antiquity. Who were the members of George Washington’s Cabinet? Secretary of State, John Jay and Thomas Jefferson: secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton: secretary of war, Henry Knox; attorney general. Edmond Randolph; Postmaster general. Samuel Osgood and Timothy Pickering. I hear tliat Isadora Duncan, the dancer, who a few months ago married a young Russian, came to this country, and then went back to Europe only to quarrel with her new husband could not get back to the United States except as an alien. Is this true, and why? Isadora Duncan is a native born American. Had her marriage taken place subsequent to th® passage of

the Gable woman’s separate citizen ship bill, she would have retained her American citizenship, but since she ! lost it prior to .Sept. 22 1922, she ran- j not become an American citizen again ! without filing a petition In the manner provided for any other alien. What do the different colors of discharge papers used by the Li. S. Army signify? White, honorable discharge; yellow, dishonorable discharge; blue, ordinary I form of discharge. Are there any brothers, or Other near relatives of Lincoln living? Lincoln lias no living brothers. The only near relative Is one son, the old i est Robert Todd Lincoln. W hat is the nationality of I’ola Negri? Polish. "fiat is meant by squaring a circle? The finding of a squaro In area equal to a given circle. This is nnn of the three famous geometrical problems of antiquity, the others being the j duplication of a cube anti the ti isec tion of an angle. The ancient geometers sought for a solution by means of a geometrical construction involving the use of straight lines and circle. 1. e., by Euclidean geometry. It was recognized that the area could be ascertained if the circumference could be determined in terms of the radius. The ancients failed to solve the problem in this way. However, the problem has since been solved by higher mathematics. Can you give me the addresses of Eileen Sedgwick, Frank Mayo and Elmo Lincoln? Sedgwick, Boulevard apartments, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mayo 7018 Franklin Ave., Los Angeles, Cal.: Lincoln, 2719 Sunset Ttlvd.. la>s Angeles. Cal. i Is Canada dry?

But none the less we took a chance, we found a irail well tramped in it, And when the desert darkness fell we pitched our tent and camped in it. No centipedes disturbed our sleep, no rattlesnakes xnojested us, Beneath a clear and starry sky we cooked our meal and rested us. The desert road was not so worse, I’ve traveled lots of tougher onos. It had some soft and sandy spots, and other chucky, rougher ones. But not one pingle mile of it would worry or would scare a son Os Mississip’ or Alabam’.

‘SOPH’AS MAYOR SEEMS LIKELY AT KANSAS CITY University Student Boosted for Honor by Fellow Students, Hu X i:.\ service KANSAS CITY, March 19. —A university sophomore of 24 may become mayor of Kansas City, Kan., a city of more than 100,000 population. It all -darted an a prank, but now seems likely to become a real race—the candidacy of “Tub” Wyatt, student at Kansas City University and captain of la-< season's football team. “Tub" -more properly called T. Lambert was put Into the primary race by students as a university joke. Newspapers and voters took up the matter and soon Wyatt became | p- I *, © T. LAMBERT WYATT the most widely discussed of a half dozen eandidat* s. It happened that each of the many candidates had a following that divides Ibe vote many ways. In Kansas t’liv. Kan., there tire no party lines. The two candidates receiving the most votes in the primary become the candidates in a second and final election. His Fh.tncew Good Predictions are made that division l among the other candidates may | make young Wyatt- one of the sue- j cessftil men in the primary, and j followers of other unsuccessful candidates may turn to his support in j the final election. The position pays J 4,000 a year. When the formalities were gone through to put Wyatt, football star of the small university into the race, it was expected the matter would j bo dropped. But politicians grabbed at the pos- ; silde chance to strike at their enemies. The students were encouraged. Next, students declared a holiday and staged ;> down town parade to boost their fellow student.
