?0R -r~w' makes a man or a woman a good citi3ETTER \/\/ The Roosevelt Memorial Association, CITIZENS ff which is raising a fund with which to present gold medals to citizens who render distinguished public service, has attempted to single out the seven most important qualifications of good citizenship. They are: First, administration of public office; second, development of public and international law; third, promotion of industrial peace; fourth, conservation of national resources; fifth, promotion of the welfare of women and children; sixth, the study of natural history and the promotion of outdoor life; seventh, development of the qualities of courage, initiative and patriotism. There may be other fields in which a man or a woman may demonstrate the qualities of good citizenship. The average person finds it a lifetime job to achieve success in but one field. Roosevelt excelled in all these seven. If the Roosevelt Memorial Association can inspire citizens to choose any one of these Rooseveltian characteristics as a goal, it will be doing good work. WHY NO T*OMEN do not sit on Marion County juries beWOMEN \f\/ cause the Courthouse was built in 1874 and JURORS f i there are no facilities. This came to light when an attorney attacked an indictment against his client on grounds that the grand jury was not legally formed because women were excluded—women taxpayers and voters. It developed that the proper time to protest is at the time the grand jury is drawn. Probably next time one is drawn some women will protest, and then Marion County will have to come up-to-date whether there are facilities or not. If not, some can be put in. Apropos of the situation Judge Collins of Criminal Court stated that he would have liked to see a woman jury try some of the murder cases in his court this past winter, as he thought the murderers would have gotten more than manslaughter. NOW a THOU SAND married women all over the OWN UP /\ country get a questionnaire from a snoop TO IT ± JL society founded by young John I). Rockefel- ■ ler. The idea is to make a scientific analysis of the ancient institution, spooning before marriage. It’s a secret nose count, answers mailed without signing, so they can’t be traced back to the sender. Protected by this mask of secrecy, the women can answer freely, truthfully. Some of the answers arc rather sensational, enough so that sociologists “view with alarm.” But we notice that 38t> of the 1,000 claim they didn’t spoon before marriage, never even kissed their fiances. If the rest of the answers aren’t any more truthful than this better consign the whole inquiry to the waste-basket. WHO’S CHICAGO recently completed a city election.

Does the heart ever rest? How often does the heart each each minute? Tes, it rests and recovers between each beat. When a healthy man is resting the heart beats seventy-two times a minute, but when there Is some sudden call to action it beats much faster. When ono is sitting, the heart pumps five pints of blood into the arteries every minute; during a quick walk, it pumps seventeen pints a minute, and the person who runs upstairs is asking his heart to pump thirty-seven pints a minute. * What is the tlieory of Freud on the subconscious mind? That in the unconscious part of the mind there lie dormant memories of the past and especially "repressed" impulses. These repressions represent the resistance we make to a wish or impulse which we think we ought not to satisfy, because it conflicts with some other interest; or they mean the efforts we make to put out of our mind ,?ome unpleasant memory. The effort to repress may not be deliber-

ate, it may be unconscious repression. In any case there may be a repression to such an extent that the memories pass entirely from us, or as it is held, they are pushed deep Into the unconscious. where they continue to exist. We are asked to believe that "the unconscious Includes many Impulses and ; memories which remain buried in the depths of the mind,” and that they persist in trying to return to the living mind. Further, It is said that to i some extent they do so, influencing the mental life even although we are not conscious of the Influence at work. In this way repressed tendencies are supposed to get a partial satisfaction. What was tho first book printed?

READ THIS IF YOU WANT GOOD LAWN

The establishment of a lawn, however, la not an easy matter; In fact, the lawn often often has to be "made" right from the start. The top layer of earth around the dwelling usually consists of the clay or rough, stony material taken from the bottom of the cellar. This material could hardly be dignified by tho term of “soil.” and while It may be "soil In the making,” It requires considerable making before anything will grow upon It. The first step in making a lawn Is to grade and level the ground and re move or deeply bury all rocks. The top three to five inch'-s should bo made Just as fine as possible. Fertilization The second step Is to provide something In the soil on which grows can grow. Tho Ideal method Is to put on a top dressing two or three Inches thick of good soil or loam. A heavy application of stable manure. If It oar. be obtained, will add organic matter of humus rind supply plant food Heavy clays may be lightened by mixing In sifted coal ashes or sand But lime applied to the surface at tho rate of twenty five to forty pounds to the square rod and mixed with the top three inches of earth is undoubt odly the best treatment of heavy clays.

Shortage of Men in Europe May Produce Better Race

WASHINGTON, April 10r—Europe's shortage of 12,000,000 husbands—that's the figure set by scientists—as the result of war, famine and disease, Is not a loss without competisa tlon, .Stronger generations may ooma of It in the future: certainly it will not mean weaker ones, thinks Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, anthropologist of the Smith sonian Institution, who probably knows more alx>ut the human breed than any other man. “The effect upon future progeny may tend to be good, rather than had,” Dr. Hrdlicka said, "for tho excess of women will give the men an opportunity to select better mates.” The keen-eyed, iron-gray scientist sat in his office, surrounded by glass cases containing hundreds of human skulls. Some of them were of men who had been dead 4,900 years when King Tut was born. Busts of primitive cave men, with strong jaws ami sharp teeth, carried ono still farther hack toward tho dawn of human history. “Asa rule,” said Dr. Hrdlicka, "tho tendency of the fewer men will bo to select the best women. The more feeble women will bo left single and will not produce a progeny. O? course, the benefit will bo somewhat counteracted by the fact that many strong men were killed In the war, but. on tho whole, I believe this will lie compensated for.” So much for the quality of tho breed, but won’t the decreased number of parents bring about a shortage of children? "Economics will take care of that," smiled the scientist, with a negative shake of his head. "With fewer men, husbands can command better wages.

Nicolai Krylenko, Public Prosecutor, Has Charge of State’s Cases, BY MILTON BRONNER V I'A Staff Cerrespondcnt LONDON, April 10.—Workmen and women of Russia are the chief obstacles hindering the Avar on all organized religion declared by the Soviets. The Avar against the “denizens of heaven”—as the Reds themselves call it—goes on despite world protests. Most Reverend Dr. Tikhon, former Patriarch of All Russia and Metropolitan of Moscow, is the next to go on trial for his life. It will come as a sequel to the trials of Roman Catholic prelates and priests, in which Monsignor Budkewicz, vicar general of Potrograd, was executed, and Archbishop Zapliak, Metropolitan of Potrograd, was first condemned to death and the sentence was later commuted to ten years imprisonment. The massed pressure of the entire civilized world against what witnesses of the trials call a travesty of justice has not swayed the Soviets in their anti-religion war. This is what “Pravda,” official Soviet paper, says: “AVe must carry on our agitation against religion Just as systematically as we do In political questions, but with even more determination. “Although we have declared war on the denizens of heaven, It is by no means easy to sweep them from the household of the workmen. The women especially ar Intractable. "With an iron sweeper, the workmen must clear their homes of the last vestige of all that Is ‘holy.’ ” In conformity with this policy, the

All fertilizer should be well mixed with the top soil.

One method is to go into-some Hold! where there la a good covering of grass, cut the sod In sections and relay it where the lawn Is wanted. This Is expensive, and besides it Is not always possible to get good sod. All things considered. It is generally best to how a good grade of lawn grave seed mixture and then give special attention to watering and caxo of the young grass until it is ready for tha lawn mower. The mixture of seed will vary with bmailty, but Kentucky blue grass, rodtop and white clover Is a common mixture. Four or five pounds of this mixture will seed a iawn 50 by 100 feot In size. To keep the lawn In trim a little seed and some fertilizer should be sprinkled over the surface every spring Crabgrass is the common enemy of lawn grasses and it means a fight to prevent it taking possession.

all-powerful Cheka—the Soviet secret service—is acting against all religious sects. Buildings of :h Orthodox Russian Church hava been secularized. Tho Jewish synagogue of Minsk has been turned into a Soviet lecture hall. Many Roman Catholic churches have been'seized. Charges against the prelates already tried and executed, or sentenced to prison, are the same ns those pending against Dr. Tikhon —"persistent and organized opposition to the decrees of the soviet for the separation of church and State, and opposition to the se qusstration of church treasures.” This means that they prevented the government from seizing gold and diver vessels belonging to the churches.
