SPEAKER LAUDS RECORD OF UNION TRACTION CO. 'Autoists Should Use Greater Precautions, Luellen Says. By Timet Special ANDERSON, Ind., June 12. —"If automobile drivers exercised as much csre on streets as men who operate cars of the Union Traction Company of Indiana, collisions with traction cars would be almost unheard of.” said Ross Luellen, safety engineer, addressing the semi-annual banquet of the safety committees of that company, Monday night. "On the thirteenth of this month the men who cperate our cars will have operated them four years and will have made a total of over thirty-one and a half million miles without a single passenger's death being caused by any train accident. "Too many automobile drivers take chances unknowingly,” Luellen pointed out. Nir.etenths of all collisions occur on city and town streets and that is where fche utmost care should be taken by ™he auto driver.” POLICE FORCE GAINS ONE ‘Captain’ John White Jr., Arrives From Storkland.

Irving Bacheller Holds Mirror Up to Modern Society in ‘The Scudders’

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Holding the mirror up to nature was the task of Shakespeare. Today, Irving Bacheller Is holding the mirror up to modem society and the reflections are not masterpieces. Bacheller knows his society and he is not afraid to put into plain language what his mirror reflects. That is the highest compliment I can pay to his new story, "The Scudders," Just published by the Macmillan Company. Right in the beginning, let me tell you that "The Scudders” Is not only going to be near at hand In my little library, but I am going to keep it nicely dusted in my memory box. If you are not afraid of reflections in mirrors, then read "The Scudders.” Bacheller is not afraid to bring modern society—Dad. Mother. Sis and Bud right up to the mirror, and he permits each one to look at the reflection. This book is not a sermon, but It certainly has the kick of the author's conviction. There is lot of honest thought in this little book and how rare is honest thinking these days on the printed page. First let me Introduce you to a wise old owl (a great character.) His name is the Hon. Socrates Potter, a lawyer of the village of Poirtvlew, Connecticut. He was generally known as “Sock” Potter. The author paints him as follows: “Sock” Potter was like the rain. He fell upon the just and the unjust—the just for their follies, the unjust for their crimes. With the former he was kindly, with the latter “like the wrath of God,” as Erastus Baker had put It. He was not only the distinguished judge and arbitrator of Pointview; he was also its museum and public library- People went to him

for Information, advice and entertainment. He was a storehouse of facts, philosophy, history and fiction, the latter mostly whimsical and mirth-pro-voking. It was said that “Sock” Potter and his Intimates spent half their time laughing. Now wouldn't you trust a character like that to hold the mirror up to society for the author? "Sock” is highly important in this story because It is he who relates the story of the rise and fall of the Scudder family. "Sock” Points Out Moral of HLs Story on Page 12 Right In the beginning, "Sock” gives you his moral or theory. Here it is: “Now this is the moral of my tale: 'Unless children learn to honor their parents they will honor no one. not even themselves.’ ” And you will love “Sock” when he remarks: "First, what's America?

Important New Book Is Out Anna Viroubova, the intimate friend of the late Empress of Russia, has written out her "Memories of the Russian Court and the Revolution,” and her story will be published by The Macmillan Company next fall. Anna Viroubova’s name has been prominent in most of the published accounts of the Russian revolution, and In telling her own story of her relations with the voyal family, and with the Siberian peasant preacher, Rasputin, and of what she saw during the revolution, she throws new light on the most famous characters and events of Russia’s recent history. The story holds some startling revelations in regard to the private life, the friendships and the policies of the emperor and empress, as well as the character of Rasputin, and the methods of Kerensky and his successors.

children. There was the great issue The girls were like the family plate and linen. They were looked after and kept spotless. All eyes were upon them. It was not meanees. It was a God-given instinct. They were the priceless treasure of the House of Life. Why? Because they were to be the keepers of the young. The golden key of the future was to be committed to them. * • * The Scudders were a sudden rich family. Mose Scuddcr and his wife were "modern.'' He ran his brass works and made millions and his wife ran a daughter, a son and a household of servants. It was an institution, not a home. Mother generaJly kissed her daughter with a cigarette in her hand. This family had the "new manners." Cady Scudder, the mother, defined new manners as "they are practiced by the best people." Continuing, she said: “They give to women the same liberty that men enjoy. They are honest manners. They allow greater frankness between men and women. They stand for truth and l°sa concealment.” I can say one big thing for the author, he gives the "moderns" and the old school their complete say in this book Everybody talks. A Few Index lines Tells Many a Truth I am picking at random a few wise observations of "Sock:" “The thing she (Cady) stood for would cut religion out of life and turn It into a business enterprise. It made marriage a contract, like one calling

Ten children and not one servant. How often these days we see ten servants and not one child.” "When ministers began to indulge in pillow fighting with evil, men began to drop out of church.” Don't get the idea that this is preaching, but sandwiched in between hundreds of wonderfully keen observations on life, the author has related the rise and fall of the Scudders. I tell you frankly, this story is not to be missed. Leave it "around on the library table so the whole family may read it. "The Scudders" sure does hit home.

Special Coal Bulletin—June 12 Issued by the Commercial Credit. Audit and Correct Weights Bureau, 708 Merchants Bank Bldg., Indianapolis. Wise Men There are lots of wise men in Indianapolis—men who look ahead, men who read and think, men who appreciate sincere advice from those who know, men who realize the serious shortage of railroad cars and have seen the wisdom of following the suggestions of Federal Fuel Distributor F. R. Wadleigh, Secretary Herbert Hoover and others who have secured themselves against next winter’s worries and Have Put In Their Coal Many others have placed their orders and would have their coal in their cellars if their dealers had had the coal. There are already evidences of local shortage. Almost every day, there are reports of individuals who ordered their coal two weeks, three weeks and even longer ago, and deliveries have not yet been made. They are not worrying because their orders are in and they know they’ll get their coal in time, but how about you—if you haven’t even placed your order yet ? It stands to reason that you’ll have to wait your turn. Reliable Coal Dealers are booking ’W? IrP orders for immediate or future delivery. W e urge you to place your orders NOW
