JOHN HERRON ART INSTITUTE (Writen by Evars Woollen President of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company at Request of the Editor.) THE Art Association of Indianapolis has received $95,000 from the executor of the estate of the late Mr. James E. Roberts. This was in payment of the largest bequest the association has received since the bequest of John Herron. This benefaction, together with bequests by Mr. Delavan Smith, Mrs. James V. Sweetzer and Miss Alice Finch, all coming this year, clearly indicates an enlarging interest in the John Herron Art Institute, which is conducted by the Art Association of Indianapolis. This interest comes opportunely at a time when the new director, Mr. J. Arthur Mac Lean, is entering upon a program of enlarged activity. The citizens of Indianapolis, and indeed of the State, should understand that a museum of excellent quality and an admirable art school are being conducted in their behalf. Admission to the museum is free and in the school much free instruction is being given both to public school pupils of this city and to selected pupils over the State. It is to be hoped that the bequests are the beginning of an increasing support for this public institution. VACATIONING IN INDIANA THE Times vacation guide published Saturday may have come as a revelation to many Hoosiers who have been in the habit of taking long journeys in search of vacation pleasures. Indiana has a lake district unexcelled by any other State. Within the confines of Hjbsierdom can be found places for swimming, boating and fishing to suit the fancy of any one. The State, considered by many as being flat and uninteresting, really has many places of real scenic beauty. The conservation department has turned many of these places into State parks for the benefit of the public.

TO AND FROM YOUR WORK HOW many miles a day do you travel, to and from work? How many miles a year? Figure it up. It may surprise you. But would you trade places with John C. Emmons? He lives on a Maine farm and rides by train ninety-six miles every morning, to work in Boston, then ninety-six miles home again every night. To accomplish this he has to leave home at 5:20 in the morning. Reaches his Boston office at 9:45. Leaves the office at 3:55 in the afternoon. Gets home at 7:45. In all, Emmons spends over eight hours daily, getting to and from work. His an exceptional case. But the average city inhabitant devotes at least an hour to traveling back and forth between office and home. Sometimes it makes us wonder if we shouldn’t get paid for this time—like, for instance, the plumber starting out on a job. Emmons has to be in Boston Daily. For Boston is headquarters of three corporations of which he’s treasurer. He’s willing to travel 192 miles a day, devoting over eight hours to the trip, in order to live at his boyhood home and sleep nightly in the room where he was born. A lure more powerful than steel going to the magnet, is home. Another phenomenal commuter is Joseph C. Beck, 62, of Goshen. Ind. For thirty-six years he has heen a railway mail clerk on the New York Central, always on the same run—between Chicago and Cleveland. Soon to retire on pension, Beck reminiscently gets busy with a pencil and estimates that in the thirty-six years he has traveled Close to three million miles on his mail run. How would you like to have to travel the same distance, year in and year out, repeatedly over the same territory? And still some of us think our work is monotonous. Twenty or thirty years ago the person who planned a long railroad trip was the talk of the neighborhood. Now he shows ap missing, after an absence of a few weeks, tells how many thousand miles he covered—and his listeners yawn. We have .become a nation of tramps. The auto is largely responsible for all this; also prompt and speedy train service. At that, though, we’re stay-at-homes compared with our descendants who will hop into their airplanes and take week-efad journeys to the far corners of the earth. By stretching the imagination a trifle, we can picture future picnics scheduled for 1,000 or mqre miles away. How long until we weary of earth travel and head our planes out in space to the other planets and the moon ?

The coal commission notes that the railroad-anthracite coal combination “has been declared illegal by the courts within the last fifteen years, although investigation of the effect of the combination began under a legislative committee appointed just one hundred years ago.”

AGENTS LAX AND BOOZE EASY TO GET Randau Visits Detroit Immediately After Officers ‘Clean Up’ City. C. A. Randau author of the following article, ia a member of this paper's Washington staff. He was assigned several weeks ago to And out how prohibition Is being enforced, and to report the liquor situation generally, without trying to prove anything, other than t<y .resent the facts. This is the fifth of a series of six articles. By C. A. RANDAU ON the first page of the Detroit News of June 23 there appeared this item: “An agent of the Federal prohibition department from upstate found Ecorse and downriver wet spots dried up today. Royal E. Decker, assistant Federal prohibtilon director for Michigan, said he sent the out-of-town agent there to investigate the effectiveness of the dry navy’s blockade, which has been In force a week. “This man looked as thirsty as anybody you have ever seen, and he looks that way all yie time," Decker said. “If anybody could get a drink, he could. The bartenders told him they had no booze, didn’t know when they would have any, because the bootleggers were stalled." I had gone to Detroit In the hope of finding a large city where liquor was hard to obtain. Only ten days earlier E. C. Yellowley, chief, general prohibition agents, and a staff of assistants had invaded the automobile capital and after a few days announced they had “cleaned up Detroit.” Haig & Haig at $lO Though I had been in Detroit only three hours when I saw the above item regarding Ecorse, I hod already been offered a bottle of Haig & Haig 6-Star whisky for $lO, and had seen whisky sold openly at 50 cents a drink over a bar on Woodward Ave., Detroit's principal business street. Walkling along the street looking for the next bar I decided tc make my second trial with my coat over my arm and my hat in my hand. In the same block I came to a barroom which had removed the typical swinging door and replaced it with a screen door. Along the bar were seven or eight men. They were leaning over the 1 bar to such an extent that I could not make out. without too close examination, Just what was being consumed. I went to the end of the bar. sev- i eral feet from the nearest customer, and asked for a drink of Scotch, at the same time placing a hai/ > dollar on the bar. Glass of Scotch Without a word, the bartender took an unlabeled bottle from the cabinet behind the bar and poured out a glass and placed it before me. "Set ’em up over here,” was a command from along the line before the bottle had been replaced in the cabinet. I don’t know what the other customers had been consuming, but I do-know four of them bough* drinks of the same kind I had obtained, and mine was whisky, poor, raw stuff, but hard liquor none the less. I put my hat and coat on and tried still another bar. “Scotch." I requested, without further ado. and out came a bottle labeled “Vat 69 " This brand Is a high class Sanderson whisky, very popular In Scotland, but little known In America. "Much stuff coming across now?" I asked the bartender. He seemed surprised at my question, but said. "Sure, It’s the same as always." An hour after I had arrived in Ecorse. an absolute stranger, I had obtained whisky in two places. The town may have been dry in the afternoon. but it wasn't dry for patrons who came in coatless or with whisky breaths.

Exposes Lax Enforcement This experience In Ecorse is important for one reason only. It makes a direct exposure of the desire of the prohibition enforcement personnel to give the Impression that their work Is completely effective. Perhaps the most effective method of prohibition enforcement vet discovered Is that in effefct In Ohio. Under the State enforcement acts, mayors of towns are given Jurisdiction. Insofar as prohibition cases are concerned. throughout the entire county in which their town o? village is located. This makes it possible for one mayor to arrest violators in anothet town or city. Where large cities are within reach this means easy "pickings.” Points Made by Poets And I think, in the lives of most women and men, There’s a moment when all would go smooth and even. If only the dead could find out when To come back and be forgiven. —Earl of Lytton.

Heard in Smoking Room

ONE BY A MISSIONARY. THE Cape-to-Cairo Railway runs through South Africa and up to the copper fields of the Belgian Congo. In the center of the dark continent. On this railway the "smoking room” is wherever you smoke. Everybody in our car on the southbound train was smoking, except one of the travelers, who was down with malaria, and a doctor who had been summoned from another car to do what he could for the fever victim. This doctor was a big, vigorous, good-natured chap. We lfearned he was an American on his way home from the wilds of the Congo. "What on earth could a medical man possibly hope to do up there among those benighted hlacks who believe demons are the cause of all sickness and whose only doctors are fetish priests preying on their superstition?” someone asked. "Well,” answered the doctor. "I managed to find plenty to keep me busy. The fetish men have great influence over the natives, as you say. Some of these Ngangas. as they are called, are very clever. Naturally they don’t welcome a white doctor, but usually it is possible to show them up. "For instance, at one village where I hung out my shingle there was a

Heart Hunger

Poor Joe Burke starved to death. Not because he was penniless. Not from lack of nourishing food. No. He starved to death for want of the food of love that comes with a fine companionship. Dan Palmer tells the pitiful story In the Toledo News-Bee. Joe Burke lived on the third floor of a rooming house in Toledo. "Had ho sought the forest Instead,” says Palmer, "where bird voices and the Incessant fiddling of insects break the primeval silence, he need not have been lonely." But Joe did not do that. He sought the city of men where lonesomeness and heart hunger often are accentuated by the very presence of humans. * A night or two ago, hunger overpowered Joe and he plunged from his little bedroom window. After they had tenderly lifted his broken body, they entered his room. There they found a note that he had penciled Just before he went away. “I have been alone twenty-six years, and since my mother died I am always lonesome for someone I can call my own.” Thus he wrote. Short, but it was all—the whole pitiful story. The Hired Man’s Wife "Malachi. can your wife cook as well as your mother did?” “She cannot.” replied Mrlachl; "but me friend, I nlver mention It. for she can throw considerable betther.” —Argonaut.

powerful fetish man who told the natives I was no good. He had them convinced for a while and they kept away from me. Then his favorite wife became ill. He tried all his charms, concoctions and incantations on her, but she kept getting worse. She was in a dying condition when he brought her to me as a last resort. I found she had appendicitis and proceeded to perform an operation which saved her life. The fetish man •was overjoyed until he went hack to his tribe. Tl. y threw him out. A man who could not save his own wife was no fetish priest, they said "At once I took on great popularity, which continued to the time I went away. But I hardly knew whether to feel honored or Insulted when I discovered they had elected me as successor to the discredited fetish priest.” "That was your chance, doctor." somebody remarked. "From that job you might have made yourself king of the Congo.” The doctor smiled. "Perhaps so." he said, "but neither the nor the king business is in my line. You see, I’m a missionary.” And we looked at his card and saw: Dr. R. J. Dye of the Christian Church, Los Angeles, Cal.

THEORY OF EVOLUTION DEFENDED Herbert Quick Says Bible Account of Creation Is Not Scientific, By HERBERT QUICK AN eastern clergyman recently said in a sermon entitled “Shall the Monkey Theory be Exploited as Truth in the’Public Schools,” “If ibis doctrine (evolution) is true, we should have no hesitation in accepting i It, for truth is a sacred thing." Also, he said. "The strongest evidence of the monkey theory is the antics of some of its enthusiastic advocates. They display a zeal worthy of a better cause in their frantic efforts to prove their simian ancestry.” This clergyman protested against teaching of the doctrine of evolution because It is a speculation unsupported by history, science or philosophy. Theory Is Dignified No one acquainted with the literature which supports the belief almost universal among biologists that the theory of evolution is a true explanation of life, would charge the evolutionists have ever cut any monkey-like capers or perpetrated antics In their efforts to prove their simian ancestry. Beginning with Darwin and Wallace, the evolutionary theory has been put forth and supported oh the whole with a perfect dignity and restraint. The spirit has been that of a patient search for that Which we agree with the clergyman, is sacred. They have gathered together a great mass of facts, all of which, after being carefully examined, seem to prove man is the product of evolution from a lower form of life —not necessarily lrom monkeys, but from a lower form of some sort. • • - If the facts relating to life are pre sented to students in schools and colleges. the pupils wijl necessarily be impressed with evolution as their explanation! Race of Ignoramuses Firing evolutionists from the teaching bodyJKvill not change the status of the matter, and the suppression of the facts will jpnly produce a race of Ignoramuses. The Scriptural account of creation is not a scientific document. It does not xplain the facts. It was not intended to do so. And unless facts which have produced our race of evolutionists are otherwise explained, they will make evolutionists every day in the future, in spite of all the pulpits and fundamentalists in the world. If this result Is not to follow, those opposed to evolution must face the facts For evolution Is now the onlj' explanation there Is. Not to accept this challenge is to follow a doctrine of darkness.

Robbing Babies

The hand that rocks the cradle does not rule the world. ’Cause why, there Is no such hand —no such cradle. Appealing to our army French, we’ll say that they are passe—gone, dumped. A writer for the Boston Transcript has been investigating. He finds as above —ajid much more. Not only are babies not rocked, these days, but they are not cuddled. Thus, exit, also mother’s knee, you see. And baby, under present-day "scientific" methods, is robbed of its inalienable right to cry- Think of that! When we thoroughly digest these revelations the world doesn’t seem as good as It did and It isn’t going to be so good in the future. The infant of today is being robbed of the right to a happy, normal and sentimental past. Once grown to full stature he and she will find themselves unable to say "All that I am I owe to my mother.’’ Nor will either have any basis for saying, "I learned this or that at my mother’s knee.” No. Big men and big women,,in all our history, have cherished and nourished such memory values as these mentioned and always have our hearts responded to the sentiment. Now, they are gone—lrreparable losses.

What Editors Are Saying

In Fields ("Lafayette Journal-Courier) Tippecanoe County is not the only county to feel acutely the farm labor shortage. Women and girls on the farms have gone to the fields here and elsewhere over the' State to supply the capable and willing hands needed to handle the harvest emergency on time and with adequate speed. The spirit of other times survives splendidly in the -womanhood of today. Our women and girls are Just as strong and wholesome, and in a thousand ways are more efficient as workers, thanks to new knowledge, scientific instruction and modern equipment, than were the pioneer mothers and daughters. c|- -I- -I'Safe and Sane’ (Huntington Press) The Fourth of July has passed, but its memory lingers, and with the memory is the thought of the future. . “Safe and Sane” is the slogan adopted a number of years ago for celebrations of , Independence day. Each year measures are taken to cause celebrations to approach near the ideal. The recent Fourth of July saw many interpretations of “Safe and Sane.”. In a. number pf cities, some of them among the largest in the United States, the- shooting of firecracker* was prohibited. ‘Economy’ (Richmond Item) Why pick out Wayne County for the brunt of government “economy” |in Indiana? This county ranks eighth : among the ninety odd counties of InI diana in the number of residents paying an Income tax. Even more sig nlficant. Richmond ranks ninth in the 100 and odd communities of any size. Muncie. for example, ranks below Richmond. But they didn’t abolish the Muncie office—not so that anybody can notice. No, at Muncie they have no "deputy” but a real district colleotor, and there’s no talk of ‘’economy" there. At dozens of other places of far less Importance and far lower standing than Richmond there’s no talk of economy. Not a bit. But then they possibly haven’t n national representa tive who is meek and submissive enough to be a political doormat, without anv but the faintest yelp of protest.

Why a Congress? The precedent set by Federal Judge Knox of a New York district has been taken up by Federal Judge Bourquin of a Montana district, who decides Congress cannot dictate the number of liquor prescriptions a physician may prescribe or the quantity thereof.

Will we next have the chief attorneys of the Standard Oil, United States Steel, the kept railroads of Wall St. and such telling Congress what it cannot do?

Animal Facts

Moos-wa. the moose, is not always as dignified as he appears on the trail, Lloyd Roberts tells the Boston Transcript. Sometimes he and his ungainly friends get together and have a dance —that is, they chase each other around as If playing tag, and a good time Is had by all. Rudyard Kipjlng cnce wrote of the elephant dance. Rabbits cavort of a moonlight night. Rtjffed grouse and prairie chickens have a Virginal reel all their own. Oh. yes, the social instinct was not. left out of animals and birds, but they have not yet taken up Jazz. The boll weevil is an insignificant Jlttle insect In appearance, but it has frightened half the country into fidgets, driven a whole State to prayer, and compelled the national Government to chase it with airplanes as well as expend thousands of dollars for special laboratories In which the measly little cuss may be studied and a means found of putting It out of business. Some insect, you’ll say.

Luckhardt and Carter discovered the remarkable new anesthetic called ethylene. "Scientists of this type,” says the Journal of American Medical Association, “display the greatest attribute necessary for the successful research worker—the vision to see beyond the facts. They make practical the materlai worked up by the masters of theory.”
