IiOAH'S -pv R. C. W. STILES, of high standing amongj RECORD 8 1 professional biologists and as a lecturer, aniTANDS 1 J nounces that Noah was not only a capable I ship captain, but the world's first, successful i ■ealth officer. I lt is difficult to wholly agree with the good doctor as to loth of these attributes of Mr. Noah. As ship captain, Noah feidn’t know where he was going, didn’t know where land lay Ind made use of a erow-bird as pilot. His sole job was to keep Ihe ark afloat and that ship was of such remarkable beam that It would take nothing less than a cataclysm to tip her over. ■Moreover. Noah had insurance papers from the Almighty. A canal x>at cook could sail a ship like that ark. But as health officer, Noah wears the crown, sure enough. Picture a eax*go of .a pair of every kind of creature, including.die germs., of. typhoid, smallpox, foot-rot, sleeping sickness, fits, Faints, etc., with all sorts of groans, grunts, growls, yells, crows md singing- Forty days of it. with women aboard, too. Any fellow who could land that cargo in shape to restock the world was some health officer, to be sure. BETTER ppil IE board of pub lie safety and the board of AMBULANCE I health are finally on the right track in the SERVICE X matter of supplying ambulance service to the city. They propose to establish a down- j town station to which calls for emergency service may be made. The police department would not think of establishing its only station far from the center of the eitv. The fire department would not establish stations in sections where there are no houses. No more should the city keep its ambulances in a locality from which they must travel a long distance to nearly all accidents. It is to be hoped that plans for a central ambulance station will be carried without loss of time. Sometimes alt that is necessary to correct an evil is to call attention to its existence with sufficient force. GOING /NXE hundred Indianapolis business men have .AFTER ~ I 1 left on a three-day trip to towns in Illinois TRADE for the purpose of advertising Indianapolis. The business sphere of the city is growing. No longer is it confined to a small section of surrounding territory, but it is spreading tlirough the Middle West. Os course, Indianapolis has been sending certain manufactured products all over the world for many years, but recently other lines of business, wholesale and retail, have been drawing trade from greatly increasing territory Courtesy trips are one of the things that are putting the city on the business map in a larger way than ever. A C ALL y | 'IHERE has been too much loose talk and too i FOR 1 little action concerning law violations in In ACTION - dianapolis. The latest is the charge that sixty-three places at which gambling is per- i mitted or bonze is sold are operating in Indianapolis with the knowledge of the police. If this is true, names of the operators and addresses of the places should immediately be placed before the grand jury, as Mayor Shank has demanded. Prosecutor Evans has said the grand jury will hear this evidence “at the proper time.” He should get busy and subpoena persons who say they possess this information and sift the charges to the bottom immediately. The connections of the persons making the charges should have do effect one way or the other on the investigation. UNSAFE A H ELL-TO-DO citizen of Indianapolis leaves GRAVE /\ orders in his will to spend $20,000 for a YARDS JLjL. monument over his grave in Crown Hill. About the same time the Legislature and courts together give a traction company power to buy and build a terminal station on old Oreenlawn Cemetery, burial place of Indianapolis pioneers 100 years ago. A century from now. will some aerop’ane company have the Legislature deed rt Crown If ill Cemetery on the theorv that there is no other open space downtown bier enough for a terminal —or cheap enough? Judging from history, the only yardstick of the future, we should say it’s not improbable. Tutankhamen was a mighty man 1 man in his time, but not powerful enough in our time to prevent; his tomb being opened.
