Ind., July 7.—More than 2,000 acres of tillable land in Jackson township, Clay county, are lying idle this summer, according to a survey completed today by the Clay county farm bureau. The farmers who own these lands are going to the city to work in factories, where they can get good wages. Many have taken up mining, the report shows. The situation will become even more grave next year. If the threats of farmers who are now harvesting wheat, with a pace of 85 cents a bushel and prospects of a still lower price, come true. Many farmers have openly said they will sow only enough wheat for their own family needs this fall. They will not raise wheat until the price gets to a point where they can make a profit for their work, they saidWIFE KILLS WOMAN ON CHICAGO STREET Slayer Declares Victim Alienated Affections of Her Husband.

IRENE' CASTLE AND ROBERT TREMAN.
By United New* PARIS, July 7. —Irene Castle, whose charm and beauty brought Robert, Treman, her millionaire husband, chasing across the ocean to attempt reconciliation, refuses to discuss the report of her projected divorce. She spoke freely and forcefully, however, on the question of American dancing which, despite tiffs and reconciliations with friend husband, holds a big share of her heart. The brazenness of Yankee dancing made an extremely bad impression on Irene when she was In America last month. In fact, she says it’s so bad Paris dancing looks like a snail marathon in comparison. Dancing Is Scandalous “In New York, Chicago and many other American cities much of the dancing is scandalous—positively Indecent,” said Miss Castle. “I’ve been at hotels and cabarets and couples have actually stopped near my table and subject us to a regular hootchie kootchle while dancing the Chicago or something just as bad. “And they are so brazen about it. Some of the actions should not be allowed In public at all ands certainly, the people who do not care
Many Churches Discard Sunday Night Service
By THE VISITOR MANY INDIANAPOLIS CHURCHES I has dispensed with the services on ! Sunday night during the months of July and August. All churches have the regular Sunday morning services, but many have given up the Sunday night preaching service. There are some churches holding to the regular schedule of both morning and night preaching services on Sunday. The All Souls Unitarian Church is closed during the summer months, as Is the regular rule of the church. In this week's edition of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin the following idea is printed: “We would urge our people to go to our sister church next Sunday morning and hear Mr. Cunningham of the Universalist Church. Dr. Wicks attended last Sunday and heard an excellent sermon on ‘Men Like Gods.’ “We especially commend to our people as preachers of power, and who have shtiwn a liberal and fraternal spirit toward our church, Dr. Fifer of the Central Avenue Methodist Church and Dr. Philputt of the-Cen-tral Christian Church. In all the churches he has attended Dr. Wicks has received a cordial welcome from pastor and people. ”W 4 commission you to represent our church, and after the service, introduce yourself to the minister and extend to him our good wishes.” The masses^of the Catholic churches of the city are held in the morning, as usual. • • * ROSS D. DAVIS will speak on “The Disease of the Christian” at the morning service Sunday at the Brightwood Church of Christ, which meets in a tent on Station St. near Thirtieth St. The night subject will be: The Marathon Race.” On Tuesday night preceding the evangelistic sermon by B. L. Allen the Central Indiana Christian Institute will convene in regular session. B. W. Bass, pit sident, will preside. • • * “THE WAY OF BLESSEDNESS" will be the Sunday morning subject of the Rev.

for that varlet yof entertainment should not be forced to witness it while out for an evening. “Those who participate in such performances do not seem to mind at ail when a dance inspector comes up and warns them in public.” Miss Castle thinks the fox trot has come to stay. “It's an easy dance to do gracefully and that’s the reason that every one here is doing it,” she explained. Second Baker Epilc Irene’s hectic “second honeymoon,” with Rottsrt Treman. promises to become a second Mary Landon Baker epic. The “second honeymoon" broke off when after going to Deauville, France, most exclusive bathing beach, with Irene. Treman returned to Paris alone Friday. The mystery surrounding the Castle romance has deepened. Captain Treman had declared he was going to spend “two or three days" with Irene. He spent less than twentyfour hours before wiring for a room at Claridge’s. It was said Treman is sailing for America on July 23, but it Is not known whether Irene is going with him.

MORE SUGGESTIONS IN TRAFFIC CONTEST Readers Favor Car Line Changes to Keep Pedestrians Off Certain Downtown Streets. .
You may win SSO and by so doing you may save lives. Does that interest you? All you have to do is THINK. Traffic has cost twenty-two lives in Marion County this year, not |to mention more tnan eight hundred accidents in which autoists and pedestrians have been injured. The Indianapolis Times is seeking a solution of the traffic problem. For the suggestion declared to be the best and most practical a prize of SSO will be awarded. If one or more readers offer the same remedy the first suggestion wins. The contest closes next Thursday night. Get busy. Address your contribution to the Traffic Probleip Editor, Indlanaplolß Times. Here are a few of the additional suggestions received: Elevated Crossings for Use of Pedestrians Elevated crossings for pedestrian traffic at congested street intersections would solve much of the traffic trouble. Beside® eliminating all danger to pedestrians, this would tend to speed up vehicle traffic. There should be a gentle slope with no stops to climb, reaching the peak with barely clearance at street car tracks; the width of sidewalks and with arms down Into street car loading plat-

Bowlers all over the country are mourning the loss of J. Fred McCullough, prominent local bowler and member of the American Bowling Congress, who died at his home, 2539 Park Avo., Thursday. In a letter to McCullough’s father. F. C. McCullough,' A. L. Langtry, executive of the American Bowling Congress, says: ’’The congress and officials tv-ill miss him greatly as he was one always willing to advance Interests of the common bowler.” MORAL OBLIGATION^ SEEN IN CITY DEBT Park Board Attorney Says Interest Must be Paid. The city council has full power to appropriate $7,500 to the park department to pay interest on park funds July 2, according to Newton J. McGuire, park board attorney. The council also is under a moral obligation to do so. McGuire said in a prepared statement. He took issue with J. Clyde Hoffman, attorney for the city plan commission who said that "the city’s general fund does not stand behind the treasuries of separate talcing units of the city.” Last Monday night the council refused to appropriate $7,500 for interest paying purposes.

By Times Special LINTON, Ind., July 7.—Seventy-five men are out of work today as the result of a fire which destroyed machinery and two coal cars at the mine of the Sherwood Coal Company cf Illinois, ten miles west of here Friday. .

forms, these elevations would handle a constant stream of people with no morts physical effort and less mental strain on their part. One traffic policeman would be needed. This plan could be placed in operation at small cost and would prove a saving to the city. Separate the two great branches of traffic and the minor problems will care for themselves. JOHN P. COOK, 2902 E. Twenty-Second St. Tunnels for Foot Passengers Favored Construct tunnels for people only under Illinois and Washington Sts., Meridian and Washington gts., Pennsylvania and Washington Sts., Illinois and Market Sts., Illinois and Ohio Sts., Meridian and Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ohio Sts. as well as any other crossings where the police may think necessary. Have each and every tunnel well supplied with "ads” of the firms close to each tunnel, which Will attract the people and make business good, and in return have these firms pay certain rent for signs, which will help pay for constructing tunnels, If not paid for altogether in that way. This tunnel idea would keep the people out of the dangerous parts of the city. Consider Ohio St., Dela,ware, Maryland or Georgia and Capitol Ave. as a belt line and have each and every car that enters the belt line go clear around the belt line and back to the point where it entered said belt line and there return to its individual line and go out and back again to the city. | This would cause each and every car I to travel over the belt line and let | the public have full service. Then | take up all tracks inside this belt line and use the space as parking space for autos in center of each street and leave the rest of the street for traffic. With the people walking out of the way in the tunnels and cars off these streets you would save many a life. If you think the ads in the tunnels | are Impracticable. F refer you to the New York subway stations. ALBERT WOOD ROBBINS, 116 McLean Place.
Street Oars to Turn As Traffic Moves Have all traffic move north and south at the same time and then all move east and west at the same time, and all street cars turning in or off Washington street* should turn with the traffic north and south. No automobiles should turn left or ; right on Washington St., between I Alabama and Captol Ave. All auto- ! ists should stop at least twenty feet behind street cars. Pedestrians should move with the traffic. This, J. think, would give all a chance to cross with safety. L- U., 2423 Coyner Ave. Take Away Licenses, v Is Suggested Remedy My suggestion is to take the license away from instead of giving them a fine. It would be a better lesson for them to be careful. I have heard them say, "What do we care for a little fine so long as we have the money to pay It,” Those kind of drivers are not fit to drive a car and are endangering other people's lives. We have been hurt by one also. MRS. EMILY HYNES. Five Miles An Hour At All Intersections speed should not exceed five per hour at all street intersections. Prohibit autos and trucks from passing each other when by so doing they, are compelled to Use southbound side of street when passing northbound traffic, and westbound traffic when passing eastbound traffic. Violations of these can be daily observed at Kentucky Ave., Missouri St. and Senate Ave.; also at Kentucky and Capitol Aves. and Maryland St., from 5 p. m. to 5:20 p. m. Gumption at the wheel is right. W. W. WOLF, 450 N. Walcott St. Railing Is Urged in Center of Street. In the center of the street, running parallel with the same, construct a railing, which would be opened at every street Intersection. This would prevent the pedestrians, or so-called Jay-walkers, from crossing in the center of the street. Between 10 and 11:30 a. m. on Washington St., between Illinois and Pennsylvania, 104 persons crossed in the middle of the block. This means these people were unprotected and exposed to the mercies of the motorists. Shall this continue? DAVID AUGUSTUS, 2170 N. Pennsylvania St. Brain Test for All Drivers Suggested. I would suggest that drivers of street cars and interurbans be compelled to drive at all intersections so that they could stop within four feet if necessary in all parts of the city and also In the country. Every driver should know and does not know that pedestrians have the right-of-way at ah times. When we had nothing but horsedrawn vehicles there was no such thing as accidents. Approach all standing cars and street cars with caution. Compel all drivers and chauffeurs to answer fifty questions as brain tests, as there Is no doubt that one-third of the people now driving should be in an asylum. J. E. TATE, Connersville, Ind.

CONSERVATIVES IN NEW THIRD PM BOLT CONVENTION Repudiate Leadership of R.uthenberg and Foster in Federation, By United Press CHICAGO, July 7.—Hope of merging political minorities of the country into a harmonious third party faded today. After C. E. Ruthenberg and William Z. Foster, liberals supported by the "communistic” workers' party, “raided” the coalition conference and organized the “Federated FarmerLabor party,” the conservatives of the Farmer-Labor party who fathered the minorities merger idea refused to join. John O. Fitzpatrick and Robert M. Buck, Chicago, led the conservative fight within the Farmer-Labor party convention that ended in a vote repudiating the new federation. This was after “liberals” leaders announced delegates from a dozen States had bolted the Farmer-Labor party to join the Foster-Ruthenberg group. Chester C. Platte, Madison, Wis., declared this desertion by the “communistic group wijl strengthen the Farmer-Labor party.” Fitzpatrick, long a friend of Foster, definitely broke with the steel strike leader. “Foster knew we couldn’t stomach his third Internationale stuff,” he said. J. C. Samuel, twice Governor of Idaho, who refuses to poin the new federation, declared: “I am a farmer and I know the farmers in my State will decline to take dictation from representatives of the third Internationale, just as I have done."
