WHEN 0 you ever get up in the morning * v out of NERVES I | the wrong side of bed” and find everything LET GO I J goes wrong during the day? Buttons come off. Shoelaces break. Breakfast toast is scorched. The street car is late and packed to the doors when it does come, so there’s no seat for you. As the day progresses, it seems that there's a conspiracy afoot to make you irritable. All the trance walkers and halfwits in the world manage to get in your way. The jinx follows. Fingers are clumsy, refuse to obey your brain readily, and you break things from dishes to pencil leads. The mailman apparently has joined the conspiracy. He brings the wrong kind of letters—disappointments, bills. Everything is out of sorts. Like the Irish soldier, you Jecfde ‘‘everybody’s out of step but me.” Most of us have enough of the superstitious lurking in our brains to make us believe that bad luck is shadowing us on the days when everything goes wrong. The simple truth is, our nerves are on edge, probably due to something we ate the day before, or to our blood pressure being too low or too high. Life at such times seems more aggravating than usual But the trouble is in ourseives. not in life or the people we encounter. They average about the same, day in and day out. For instance: We saw a man rush into an office building. As he went through the revolving door, he decided that the party in front of him was a slow-moving moron, so he swung the door viciously in an obvious attempt to knock down the stranger in his path. Nerves. Meeting the same stranger under similar circumstances next day, the man (if feeling normal) probably would trail the stranger placidly through the door and maybe pause to borrow a match and exchange the time of day and home brew recipes. There is nothing quite as cranky as a drunkard or other dope fiend recovering from a debauch, with nerves on edge—a hangover. All of us at times feel the same wav. without any preliminary debauch. We have simply lost control of our nerve force. The pipes are leaking, eager to explode. What can we do about it? Well, for one thing, we can keep ourselves under control by a determination to maintain a placid and easy-going state of mind. Ruination of the whole day dates from the first yielding to anger when the hutton comes off as we start to dress. The more we yield, the more we allow ourselves to become irritated, the higher the pressure mounts in our internal mechanism. A good motto, when nerves are on edge, is: “Oh. well, nothing or nobody is worth getting mad at. A hundred years from now, what difference will it make?”

FORTY A /TTY is as great as its citizens make it. InYEARS dianapolis has become a great city because ACTIVE jL Jl its citizens believed and still believe in its future and with that confidence behind them they have been and are active in protecting its interests. One ot the most active boosters the city possesses is the . of Trade. That organization is celebrating its fortieth anniversary. Quietly amd with little show the Board of Trade is working continuously for the best interests of Indianapolis commercial and civic life. Tt does things and the city as a whole reaps the benefit. The Board of Trade was founded in the days when Indianapolis was not so significant among the cities as it is today. It was founded by men who did much to make the city great. Some of them are still working in the interests of Indianapolis and those who have taken the place of the members whose names have been striken from the rolls of the organization by death are worthy successors. The Board of Trade, like almost everything else in Indianapolis, has grown rapidly. Now that it has reached the maturity of forty years it is among the first of the business and civic organizations of the country. It is an asset to the city. WHY WE | 'll!F, housing shortage has been reduced a FAY’ HIGH I fourth in the last eighteen months. So esriRLNTAL _jL mates the business experts of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Gradually the shortage will be wiped out. Then rents will smash. It’s the, law of supply and demand'—the average landlord demanding all he can get. That’s human nature. Most of us would charge SI,OOO a day for our work—if we could get it. New residences contracted for in March in the United States involved $164,000,000. A big sum , hut only about $1.50 for each woman and child. People seem to prefer to put their money into autos rather than homes. High rent is the natural penaltv.

SOLONS TO CURB POWER OF COURT j Borah, Owen, La Follette and | Frear Lead Onslaught on Supreme Body, By JOHN CARSON Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 7. How are you going to keep the I Supreme Court from declaring a child labor law or a minimum wage law or any other law unconstitutional? Senator Borah of Jlaho, Represen- ! tative MeSwain. South Carolina, and | Senator Owen. Oklahoma, propose the i short method of passing a bill i through Congress. Senator Ivo Follette and Representative Frear, both of Wisconsin, have proposed constitutional amendments. Convinced now that the people are aroused to the court usurpation of power, leaders in the fight to curb the court and restore control by the people through Congress are asking what method should be used. Senator Owen, one of the first of the present-day opponents of the court's tactics, has a joint resolution in Congress which forbids Federal judges declaring a law unconstltutionaj and provides they may be judged guilty of bad behavior and discharged. But suggests Jackson Ralston, attorney for the American Federation of Labor, the court might declare that joint resolution unconstitutional, null and void. Representative MeSwain has a bill in the House which provides a maoritv of at least seven of the nine members of the Supreme Court must be had to declare a law unconstitutional. Senator Borah later Introduced a similar bill in the Senate and Representative Fees of Ohio now advocates this policy. Senator T,a Follette suggested that a constitutional amendment should be passed giving Congress the right to repays n law declared unconstitutional by the court, thus giving Congress a veto power over tins court's work.

Every Part of Globe Is Pressing for Short Cuts for Commerce

By HARRY W. FRANTZ. riAiill small boy who dreams of a I tunnel to China will thrill to the news that a Peking professor has proposed In nil seriousness that a tunnel be dug under the Bering Straits to enable railway communications between America and Asia. in every part of the globe commerce is pressing for short cuts and the Ingenuity of engineers Is absorbed over the possibility of more direct routes by land and sea. Tin* economic advantage of shortened waterways haa been tremendously revealed at Suez, the road to the East, and at Panama, the route to the West. Suez still remains the world's greatest short cut. In 1922 It was traversed by 4,345 vessels of ft net tonnage of 20.743,000. In the same year the traffic vlr Panama was 2,097 vessels of 12,992.000 net tons. Through the Kiel Canal went. 39,210 vessels of 12.575.986 tons. The Increasing traffic of Panama has caused discussion at Washington of anew canal at Nicaragua. United States already has diplomatically safeguarded Its right to this route. New York reports tho great success of the Buffalo to the Hudson barge canal, completed a few years ago: Chi cago talks of anew and deepened waterway to tho Mississippi: New Or leans plans a short cut from lAiko Pontchartraln to tho sea. The great, dream of Central Europe' is the short cut to be afforded by the Rhine-Main-Danube route to the east. This was first planned by Charlemagne; twelve centuries ago.

New Empire With House of Hohenzollern Ousted Is Seen by Military Leader —Monarchists Await Reparation Settlement, By 808 DORMAN NEA Sei-vice Camera Correspondent, Just Returned From Europe Where He covered the French Occupation of the Ruhr for The Indianapolis Times. NEW YORK. May 7.—German censorship prevented this story from being sent out while 1 was >.till in Germany. I had luncheon with a famous general of the German army at his home, and on condition thut his name be withheld he gave me an interview heretofore unpublished.

This general, occupying a powerful and commanding position during the. World War, made these predictions for Germany’s future: OVERTHROW of the present republican government the moment allied claJms are settled. ESTABLISHMENT of a German empire with a Wittelsbach instead of a Hohenzollern as emperor. CROWNING as the next kaiser of ex-Crown Prince Rupprecht of Baxaria, or his son, Prince Albrecht. The former general received me in the garden of his villa. He spoke, hesitatingly, in English. His tail figure w;us clothed in a gray civilian suit. “Officially,” he said, “I do not give interviews.” I asked him about ntonarchiei plans of the Nationalist party. ”Yes,” he said, "Germany will be a monarchy again—soon. An overwhelming majority of the German people want a kaiser not a president. Monarchists Waiting “Loaders of the Nationalist party know that they can seize the reins of government now with little or no bloodshed. But they prefer to wait. “We realize that a permanent set- [ tlement. of the allied claims must be | reached, and it is obvious that the party arranging and signing such a 1 settlement as the allies can and ■Rill force them to sign, will be condemned and hated by all Germany. “T.et the renublieans now in power in Berlin perform this nasty job. That will be our opportunity. On the rising of anger we—and a monsrchy!—will be swept into the saddle. ‘‘No, we will not repudiate the terms of settlement made by the republicans. That would b suicide, for the allies would overthrow us. We wifi faithfully carry out whatever reparation terms arc made, providing !it- is humanely possible. The blame j will rest with the republicans, not wilh us. After the first rage has spent itself, th German people will be satisfied in rhis vindication of Ger--1 many's honor.” Rupprecht of Bavaria 1 asked the general about former Kaiser Wilhelm. “Not Wilhelm,” lie said, decisively. ! "There is no denying that a certain number of Nationalists wish for th return of the former kaiser and a greater number favor Frederick Wilhelm, the former crown prince. But the majority of the German people cannot forgive them for fleeing at ti,e time of the. revolution, in Germany’s hour of need. No member

of the Hohenzollern family will be acceptable. “Rupprecht of Bavaria is the choice of the majority. Rupprecht, the former crown prince, i.s now rightful king of Bavaria. Failing him, the next choice would be his eldest son, young Prince Albrecht. “We believe we can reconcile the north of Germany to a Bavarian kaiser. Such a solution would unite the German people as never before. It would forever render hopeless the French aim to separate the south of Germany from the north.” The famous general’s tone carried, no hint of question or uncertainty. He" spoke as if a monarchy was Inevitable, and he and his Nationalist partisans were merely waiting for the republican rulers of Germany to bang themselves in the noose of compusory reparations. JOURNEY TO MARS ONLY THRILL LEFT NEW YORK, May 7.—After making two round-the-world trips. Miss A. Herald Lindsay of Johannesburg, South Africa, has returned on the SS. Homeric. She said her next trip probably will be to Johannesburg, as her parents have written her that they would like to see her. The voyage on the Homeric completed a journey of 78.000 miles. Miss Lindsay, who is 24 years old. Sac's a woman can travel safely anywhere in the world. “If someone would take me to the north and south pole. I would go there.” she said. ’ i have seen much of the globe.” and she exclaimed, "wouldn't it be great if we oouid fly by airplane to Mai's? The old earth is getting somewhat tiresome.” Miss Lindsay said a woman’s personal conduct is her assurance of safety wherever she may go. She thinks women should travel and see th*| world, even if it should be through' the “wild and woolly.” Screens Pried lose A burglar was frightened away after attempting to fqrce an entrance to the home of Frank Walcher, 2019 N.
