BLUES m OUR BLUE SKY LAW mNDIANA, which with other progressive States passed legislation to prevent sale of blue sky stock in the State, has been awakening these days to the fact that thousands of stockholders in one large financial company—the Dollings Company—are now holding what they regard as practically worthless paper. The spectacle of a financial bubble, breaking under the very shadow of the State Capitol, where machinery had been created to safeguard interests of citizens, has been sorry proof that laws alon9 can never remedy evils nor prevent them. If the State has a securities commission to protect the public from sale of fraudulent stock, the public has a right to expect th't protection will be given. A.nd by licensing companies, responsibility is assumed by the State. Statements of former Governor James P. Goodrich at a meeting of Dollings stockholders in Winchester are interesting. “There never was a time six months after the International Note and Mortgage Company (a Dollings concern) was formed but that its license to sell stock could have been revoked had there been an examination by the securities commission,” Goodrich charged. Protection of the public from stock schemes is a function that the State assumed in the creation of a blue sky law. Investors have the right to demand such protection. Many aged folk, widows and others are dependent upon their savings for comforts in old age. The loss to the American public every year is estimated between ONE AND TWO BILLIONS through stock schemes. That is more than the whole country spends each year on education. It is nearly three times what it loses at the hands of burglars and professional thieves. The Department of Justice at Washington recently announced that since the war $1,200,000,000 has been taken from the people through the sale of spurious oil securities alone. Millions of dollars have been lost by Indiana investors in recent years. And the pitiful thing is that the swindler’s victim is not of the rich, who are wary in financial and corporation matters, but the POOR MAN. Indiana industries and business demand that a clean-up be made at once. If Indiana has a blue sky law, the people have a right to expect that it will take the “blues” out of stock investments.

MORE SMOKE, THAT’S CERTAIN mHE new smoke ordinance plan, “revised” by the city council, has been sent back to the Chamber of Commerce, its sponsor, with radical changes. As the first snappy cool waves come along, and smoke again rolls out of chimneys, citizens are wondering what it is all about. For abolishing an evil that causes a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, the new “revised” ordinance provides for a smoke inspector with annual pay of SI,BOO. Citizens since 1904 have had a faint memory of a smoke inspector connected in some way with the city hall pay roll at that wage. “An inspector would have too many bosses with a technical committee that the Chamber of Commerce suggests,” political wiseacres of council say. Civil service commissions, wL.ch pass upon qualifications of candidates for technical offices, are then, too, only “bosses.” Strange indeed! The office of smoke inspector should be filled by a man who knows his business. That Mayor Shank, who led an anti-smoke nuisance crusade during his former administration, is perhaps favorable toward the popular movement now, is no sound reason why the public should not he safeguarded in the future. The present “revised” ordinance of the council provides for the continuance of the political plum system for awarding some office seeker with the job of smoke inspector. True, it pays only SI,BOO, the wage of the present inspector. But that’s cheap to get an expert, of course. Jobs cannot he sacrificed, it seems, to civic efficiency. The old system would be continued. And the public, weary from repeated attempts to obtain relief, can mutter: “More smoke.”

RECALLING SOME THRILLERS yr l OV many Hoosiers remember the old-time blood and thnnll der novels about the exploits of Deadwood Dick, Frank Merriwell, Young and Old King Brady, Nick Carter, Fred Fearnot and the Liberty Boys of ’76? Dr. Frank P. O’Brien spent twenty-six years rpunding up the largest collection of these thrillers in existence. He has 2,400 different specimens and these recently have been triumphantly touring the country, on exhibition in various cities. They’ll probably be preserved as historical relics in the library of Deland Stanford University. Historical relics? Decidedly. The nickel novels, with their famous colored covers, thrilled the American youth (and more grown-ups than would admit it) from 1860 until about 1910, when the movies began putting the paper-backs out of business. The height of deviltry, for a boy in the old days, was to “hang around” a livery stable, read nickel novels and smoke cubebs. A lad who read nickel novels was supposed to be going to the dogs. Yet, now that we have a little perspective, the nickel thriller has become respectable. It was morally clean. That was the inexorable rule of nearly all the thriller publishers, from Beadle on. Virtue always triumphed and the villain was punished. “Big stakes, desperate chances and the feller gits th’ gal”—this was the formula. The sophisticated youth of our jazz generation would roar with laughter if he read the old-time nickel thrillers. Youth’s heroes now are the Jules Verne sort, using radio and airplane where a former generation’s fiction heroes used horse and buggy and a phone that had to be cranked to get Central. * * • Later comes jazz and sex fiction, disreputable successor of Nick Carter and The Dude Desperado.

MUSSOLINI ACT DID NOT KILL LEAGUE Italy’s Repudiation of Faith Makes World Body Stronger, Quick Says, By HERBERT QUICK ,u t| HEN the Italians seized Corfu yy and w ent back on Italy’s agree—_J ment to submit such Issues as the killing of the Italian commissioners In Albania to the League of Nations, Italy's act was certainly a stab at the heart of the league. Did It reach that heart? Did Mussolini destroy the League of Nations when he broke Italy’s plighted faith and repudiated the league as a tribunal In the quarrel between these two nations? We have now had time to begin to come to a correct decision as to this. The answer seems to be that Italy struck a vicious blow, but that the league survived. The stroke of Mussolini did not reach its heart. Yields to Opinion Italy refused to accept the good offices of the league and the league did not press the -matter. But even Mussolini was Impressed by the eruption of public condemnation of his falsehood and brutality all over the world. He yielded somewhat. He allowed the matter to go before the Council of Ambassadors. This is no part of the League of Nations, nor is the League a part of the oouncll; but after refusing the arbitration Italy had agreed upon in the treaty, he did accept arbitration. The public opinion of ihe world forced from him this concession and saved Europe from a war which would have been raging by this time. But was the League paralyzed by the repudiation by Italy of Italy’s own word and of the authority of the League? Most people seem to think so. Yet. as a matter of fact, the council of ambassadors really acted as a substitute for the League in making the decision. Still Powerful Force The fact is, the Mussolini attack did not kill the League of Nations. It still was the greatest force in settling the very question which Italy refused to submit to It. And It now seems likely that this survival will make It stronger than ever. It has received the severest punishment it ever had In this contest: but it is still on its feet and dealing as well as ever with the every-day International problems of the world. As for the Mussolinls of the world, they may not as lightly challenge Its claim again as did their chief in Italy. He found there is a world opinion with which the repudiator of treaties must reckon, and this world opinion Is what keeps the League of Nations alive and enables It to survive such daggerthrusts as his.

Home Wreckers To the Editor of The Timet I read In The Times of the increasing number of murders, delinquency of children, divorce proceedings—and all were laid to fathers and mothers by a reader. I believe he Is right. Nearly every case I have investigated started through a home. Young girls commenced by riding In machines with married men. He asked the girl to ride, later he asked for a date, next he was late for supper, and wanted an early breakfast so he could stop and get her. Result, a home broken up. A wife stood over a hot stove, waiting with supper while he was taking some girl home. Another home broken up. A mother’s children at school, while she was out playing cards or at a club or show. The little ones came home without any one there, left to the mercy of the public. Father finds out. Another home gone. Every married man caught riding with some woman other than his wife, taking them home in the evening and going to shows In the afternoon, should be arrested and given a sentence. We would have less divorces if private detectives were placed In shows and factories. ONE WHO SEES. Observations A man Just arrested for bigamy says he can't remember whether he had "married 100 women or not.” Many a man will envy him his capacity for forgetting. The signs of the times In Europe must all be detours. The cost of living has dropped threeeighths of one per cent In New England. But even at that it Isn’t worth It. A Boston boy stole and sold his mother’s $6,000 diamonds for 6 cents. Not a bit like a Pilgrim father. It Is claimed the reduction in the price of gasoline saved the motorists of the country $40,000,000, and that is enough to make them caresless of traffic laws.

Heard in the Smoking Room

“j HESE circus men are sometimes hard pushed to keep ■ their animal acts going good.” said the old-time advance man, os he pulled at his pipe. “Animals die at inopportune moments, men get hurt or quit and other things intervene to put a good act out of business. “I recall the case of the circus man who had an act wherein his Hon entered a tiger's cage and the latter animal quailed in fright before the king of beasts. But, as luck would have it. the lion died Just before one psrformance. The circ is man thought quick and he said to an Irish applicant for a Job, ‘Yes, I’ll hire you. My only lion died this morning and we have Just! skinned him. If you’ll wrap the skjn around you and lie down In the qorner of the cage there.

UNUSUAL PEOPLE Business Start at 46

By NEA Scrrice rpTj AN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.—At 46, I O when many men consider them I I selves fit candidates for “the shelf,” John H. Leighton stoood amidst the ruins of a business venture, offering his last $2,000 to his creditors. That was in a is the head of the Leighton Industries. a $1,600,000 string of twentyone cooperative enterprises, including eleven different activities, and employing one thousand men is between labor which labor shares a jonsidernblo porLEIGHTON tion of the profits. The business lneludes a line of eating places in this' city, Oakland and Los Angeles, besides a large department market, a laundry, printing' plant, packing plant and tailor shop. Yet, at one period of his life, Leighton was bitter against employers as oppressors of labor, while at another he considered labor's demands unreasonable and unfair. The two Ideas blended Into the one of cooperation.

FARMER IS SOUND IN HIS THEORY Conscious of Vote Power and Will Use It to Get 'Square Deal,’ Thia ig the last of six articles by Harold C. Place, editor of Deg Moines News, on “What s the Matter With the Farmers?’' By HAROLD C. PLACE HE farmer for years had been | content to take whatever was 1 handed him In the way of governmental pap. He was like a sleeping giant, unconscious of the power and Influence he possessed. Suddenly he discovered he had a mighty weapon in his hands in the shape of the ballot box and he has been using it with ruthless determination ever since. He is not through. He will continue to use It until he is sure he Is being given the “square deal” he talks about. The farmer isn’t a red-shirt, a communist or a violent radical. He Is sound in his political theories and governmental loyalty. He realizes the Government Is not going to solve the problem alone without some help from the farmer, and that legislation, at the most, is but an aid to remedy. But he does feel the Government haa not protected him as it should. Vote Was Protest The farmer voted for Frazier, Shipstead, Johnson and Brookhart as a protest against conditions. He voted for these men because they talked his language, sympathized with him, seemed to understand and heed when no one else would listen. They were different from the ordinary candidates for office, with whom the farmer was thoroughly disgusted. That appealed to the farmer because he was tired of bosses, tired of the pledges and promises made and not kept. He wanted anew deal, an opening to register his feelings and make known his demands. All Behind Brookhart The situation in lowa Is typical. Senator Brookhart will come up for re-election next year. Nothing short of a genuine catstrophe can prevent his re-eloctlon. Practically every farmer In lowa is behind him to a man. "Wo’re afraid a corporation man will be elected.” they told me again and again. "We know Brookhart, where ho stands. Why change? We might get fooled on the next fellow.” Bitter and scurrilous attacks on Brookhart, FYazier. Johnson, et al., only strengthen the farmers' faith In them. The farmer Interprets such assaults as a personal attack on him and assumes a defensive position. Only Ijeartership Offered If there are some who harbor the opinion the farmer la following strange leaders. It must be remembered this is the only kind of leadership offered him with any semblance of sinserity or effectiveness. Outside Minnesota, farmers of the Middle West are not disposed to make a hard and fast alliance with labor. They feel, fundamentally, the Interests of the fanner and laborer are inimical. The farmer wants to sell for aa high a price as he can get and the laborer wants.to get the products of the farm at ns low a figure as possible. Even In Minnesota, the farmer-labor party, while strong at the moment, Is bound together more or less loosely and It is doubtful if it can ever be established on a pemamont basis. The fanner Is normally an Intense partisan and he would very much prefer to work through the old parties, rather than pioneer in anew political field.

A dirty thief broke into tho Kellenberger grocery at Columbue recently. Although he stole a quarti’y of rolled cats and several pounds of benns, soap was the principle article of merchandise taken. The two prisoners in the Bartholomew County Jail say that the Jail Is a ‘cooler” all right. Sheriff Arbuckle says that it will be three weeks before the heating plant is fixed. A profusion of blossoms appeared recently on a cherry tree on the farm of D. E. Welch, who lives near North Manchester The cherries are probably frozen by this time. Keep your family pet at home or he is liable to turn up missing, instructs the chief of police at Tipton. The city became overrun with surplus dogs on which no taxes were paid, and ■when they began holding daily gatherings on the courthouse lawn Chief Loucks went gunning. Hundreds of honey bees were attracted to the business district of Warsaw during the annual county free street fair and swarmed about the stands where candy and other sweets were exposed. They almost caused a ilot several times, but the bees did not seem aggressive. Science Dr. H. H. Rusby, of Columbia University, returned recently from South American Jungles, broken in health, but with the solution of a mystery that will mean life for many persons. During flu epidemics doctors tried desperately to And something that would allay the serious cough that generally was part of the disease. CoeiUana finally was found to be of great value and It came Into general use. But sometimes it worked and sometimes It didn’t. Tho medicine Is made from the bark of a :ree growing in South American forests. Further investigations showed that there wa-s a difference in the bark from which it was made. This accounted for the fuot that it was sometimes ineffective. A large expedition, under the leadership of Dr. Rusby, was sent to find out Just which trees should be used. The expedition encountered many hardships but it was successful. It brought back samples of the medicinal trees as well as similar ones not having the necessary properties.

I mean under the Bok proposition? American Peace Award, 342 Madison Ave., New York City. How did the term "doughboy" originate? It Is said that a certain “classy” regiment who wore gold stripes on their uniforms during the Civil War were known to keep the stripes shining when they became a little discolored, by rubbing them over with a mixture of flour and water called “dough balls,” hence "doughboys." What Is the area of Japan? 148,766 square miles; with island possessions, 260,738 square miles. Where do we get the word “silo?” From the Latin "slrus,” or the Greek ’’siros," which meant any air tight chamber or structure in which grain was stored. Is there any Federal law regarding the Intermarriage of whites and negroes? No. but there ore many State laws on the subject. What Is incorrect In the statement "universally used by all?” The statement is tautological. "Universally" Implies that it Is used by everybody. Omit either "universally” or "by all.” Can a henhouse be made suocessfully from a piano box? It Is better to use two boxes. Farmers' Bulletin 1331 tells how to conhouse at small expense by placing two piano boxes back to back and covering them with tax roofing paper. Was a monument ever erected on the United States-Canadian border to commemorate the 100 years of peace between the two oountrles? Yes. at Blaine, Washington, on Sept. 7, 1921. From what nationalities are the following descended: Walter Johnson, Benny Leonard, Johnny Dundee, John McGraw, Tllden, Jess Barnes, Tom Mix and Dougles Fairbanks? Johnson, Swedish; Leonard, Hebrew: Dundee, Italian; McGraw, Irish; Tllden, English; Barnes, Mix and Fairbanks are of old American stock. Is coffee produced In the United States? Not on a commercial scale, though coffee plants have been grown with slat-house protection in Florida. There seems to be no prospect of successful commercial production anywhere in the United States, as this plant is a native of tropical countries and can not withstand frost or continued spells of cold water.

Who Supplied Chaos A doctor, an architect and a bolshevik were discussing as to the priority of their occupations. The doctor said: “When Adam’s side was opened and a rib removed to make woman, there was a surgical operation—medicine was the oldest trade.” The architect said: “Yes, but when the earth was made, out of chaos, there was the building process, the use of materials according to a plan. The architect’s is still older.” The bolshevik smiled and said: "But who supplied the chaos?”— Farm Life. Son Scoops Dad “After sending your son to college it must be disappointing to have him run off with a chorus girl.” “I should say It was disappointing,” replied the old millionaire. “I expected to marry that little dame myself.” —New York Sun. Where Wifoy Goes in “I hear the club has been raising objections to the costumes worn by women tennis players. You’ll go in for the game now, I suppose?” “I won’t go as far as that, dear; but me for one of the costumes!”— •Ridge.

Where Money Talks

Modern Architecture Unsuited to Quake Infested Countries

By DAVID DIETZ Science Editor of The Times EIVERPOOL, England, Oct. 9. The style of architecture adopted by the modem Japanese probably contributed the most to the loss of life and property In the S London and secretary of the geological section of the British AssoAdvancement of Science, declares. “The Japanese have made the mistake of followln western styles DAVID DIETZ In architecture,” Professor Gordon told me. “Architecture should be a purely local matter. Western styles in architecture are adapted to lands where the ground Is firm.” Pagoda Ijeft Standing "It must be remembered the dispatches from Japan that a very ancient pagoda remained standing while modem buildings were toppled over. "It must be remembered the amount of damage done by an earthquake does not alone depend upon the severity of the quake but also upon the man made conditions where the quake occurs. "In a crowded city, a quake which lowered the surface of the earth an eighth of an inch might do untold damage If It happened suddenly enough. "That la because the breaking of gas pipes and electric wires would start fires. That was the cause of the great damage In the San Francisco earthquake. “I think Japan would do well to work out a style of architecture of It own. rather than to follow Western styles. “Earthquakes and volcanoes occur Fragrance By BERTON BRALEY There’s a pleasant smell to roses And to various other posies, And I like the smell of spices oriental; And the tresses of a maiden With a subtle perfume laden Have a scent that always makes me sentimental; But I’m frank enough to whisper That when days are growing crisper And I’m glad to add a vest to my adorning, Then the smell which greatly thrills me Then with zest and gusto fills me Is the smell of eggs and bacon in the morning. When my body I have laven (Bathed, in other words) —and shaven, I still suffer, oftentimes, from semicoma; For it takes me long to waken, But the eggs and sizzling bacon Have a tonic and a kick in their aroma, So though percolated Java May, and certainly DOES have a Joyous fragrance which I’m very far from scorning.

on the earth’s surface along definite lines which mark lines of weakness In the formation of the earth’s crust. "Japan is situated upon an earthquake line and upon a volcano line, and la, therefore, liable to either sort of disturbance at any time. “The weakest portions of the earth’s crust are sea coasts backed by high mountains. Ti-emendous Pressure "Japan Is an island with a great mountain range running right through it, consequently the greatest possible strains are set up In the rock formations In and around it. That Is because you have the tremendous down ward pressure of the mountains and nothing to counterbalance It. “Most Japanese earthquakes originate in a falling or slipping of the sea floor off the Japanese coast. The shock travels across the sea floor to the island, where the damage Is done. "The great mountain ranges dampen the shocks and prevent them from reaching the mainland on the other side of the island. "The fact that Japanese earthquakes originate on the sea floor explains why they are accompanied by tidal waves. "I believe that it Is probable that the loss of the American naval destroyers was the result of this tidal wave, which probably caused an exceptionally high tide on the American side of the Pacific.”

What Editors Are Saying

October (Decatur Dally Democrat) Its worth your while these bright October days when the skies are so blue and the foliage so beautiful to make a few runs out in the country where nature holds forth and where you find the purest air and the grandest flew. Walton (Milroy Press) Gov. Walton of Oklahoma syraboV lzes the puttie mentor in action. Poking as the champion of the people’s rights he strips them of their most valued possession, the freedom of expression, and places them In shackles. Men like Walton, In our Judgment, should be kicked out of office and the newspapers should see that it is dons. Democrats (New Castle Democrat) Suppose the Democrats of Indiana were to have added $40,000,000 to State expenses In four years and to have had all the scandal that has been connected with the Republican administration, does anybody think they could succeed again In the next generation? Citizens (Marion Leader Tribune) An Interest in the student and his work means a partnership In the future generation. The creation of a wholesome recreational and athletic program. In which the parents and older friends give their moral support, can not help, but wield a potent influence on their character and life. If the city is made attractive for the young people while they an young, when they get older the desire to leave will not be so strong, but instead there will be manifest a disposition to remain In the community which has odne so much for them.
