WHEN WINTER COMES SHE SMOKE abatement ordinance is to be voted upon by the city council tonight. The measure, which is far reaching in value and importance to business and human lives, seems to be favored by the members. One of its best arguments has been the pall of smoke that has settled over the city during the past ten days. Renewal of fall heating is partly the cause. If Indianapolis suffers from a soot sewer in the downtown district in early October, what will it be when WINTER comes? That a competent engineer will be obtained seems assured. Councilmen seem to favor a $3,000 a year salary and a selection of the inspector by the mayor and a committee of technical engineers. This feature is very important NOW. It is only to be regretted that a permanent clause cannot be included to safeguard FUTURE appointments. An advisory committee, to back the smoke inspector, may be adopted. Councilmen are growing in favor of this body, it is understood, following success of the plan in many other cities. The statute is designed to be educational, not punitive. This protects the public against over-zealous and unreasonable enforcement that would make the law a nuisance. Such is not likely, however. What will the council do? Watch for the “score.” It will be more important to you than any of the World Series. “OURSELF DAY” VERT American is entitled to a liberal education,” says President Coolidge, and thereupon he sets aside the week beginning Nov. 18 as “National Education Week.” That’s fine. We should grab‘the opportunity. After that it will be our own fault if we haven’t a liberal education. There’s no use talking. We Americans are efficient. To see our duty is to do it, no matter how much it hurts. Realizing nothing can be accomplished without system, our years are plotted out for us like the housewife’s week: Monday, washday; Tuesday, mending; Wednesday, ironing; Thursday, bridge; Friday, general cleaning; Saturday, marketing, and Sunday, touring. We have a “Safety Week,” when we abstain from killing a “Better Baby Week,” when we give some attention to i he baby; “Thrift Week,” when we do our saving; “Clean-up ‘\Veek.” when we remove the year’s tin cans from the back yard; ‘'Cancer Week,” when we try not to contract cancer; and so on until we have exhausted the fifty-two. It's all so practical. We don’t have to go around all the time wsth a jumble of worries running through our heads —anxious abnut the baby, blue about not having anything laid by for a rainy day, careful lest we run over somebody with our flivver, fearful lest flies bring in typhoid from the garbage heap in the backk yard, and so on. No, sir. We set aside special weeks to worry over these things and forget about ’em the rest of the time. It saves wear and ’.tear on the nervous system and lets us enjoy the movies more. The extra day in Leap Year seems to be the only day they’ve overlooked. We hasten to bid for that. llet’s call that day “Ourself Day,” and resolve that once everyjfovtr years we won’t let anybody do our thinking for us.

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD RJEQEIPTS from our national forests last year totaled $5,8345,818, of which sum $1,321,423 has been or will be turned back to the individual States in which national forests are located, four the benefit of school and good roads funds. In addition, the sum of $528,659 will be used by the Government in btuilding trails and roads within the forests. The balance of the receipts, some $3,500,000, will be turned into the general treasury of the Government. ( Out of the first named fund, California will get $445,675, Oregon $235,000, Colorado $162,000, Washington $120,000, New Mexico $64,C.'00 for schools and roads. Yet there are high officials of the Government who still hold to the idea of private exploitation of the public domain. How mucfo do you think the plain people of the country would have got out of our forests in 1923 if the ideas of these officials had prevailed, as they did in former times? AS TO PINCHOT | IHEY are n<i>w giving Governor Gifford Pinchot, not the onceA 1 | over, but tfie manv-times-over, with the hope of uncovering Bwhere and why the presidential bee did, should, or will sting him. First pop, it is developed that he “reduced 102 tax-eating agencies of government to 21, abolishing and consolidating offices with a stroke of the pen, established a budget system, and reduced appropriations thirty millions of dollars. In these days <f easy-going money, this record is sufficiently pregnant to make Pinchot stand out from many of his fellows. If, in proportion, he could do even half as much were he President, he would find a grateful people ready and anxious to acclaim him. The question is, could he do it in the face of the tremendous power for reckless, unbridled expenditure that has intrenched itself at Washington? No doubt Pinchot would try. He is a fighter. He is fearless. But he could not, in tihe face of the grand army of public plunderers and administrative spendthrifts, fight alone and win. Those who talk him up and who believe in his capacity to do big and necessary things, would have to go all the way with him, for it would be a battle royal. And there is the difficulty. We talk economy of government and howl dolefully about heavy taxation, but we only talk and howl. We, ourselves, by indifference and let-George-do-it spirit, take all the punch out of the promises we exact and support at the polls. We never do a complete job of helping ourselves. DISAPPEARANCE of coal will occur in 3,000 instead of 6,000 years, as formerly stated. Begin saving for your last ton. RETURNED traveler says the two Americans best known in Europe are Henry Ford and Volstead. Same here. LLOYD GEORGE says he comes neither as a missionary nor a bootlegger. That makes him twice welcome. MARY GARDEN says all women “wish to reduce sooner or later." Name him, Mary, name'him 1

U. S. HOLDS NO HATRED FOR JAPAN Quick Urges Orientals to See Immigration Laws as Necessary to Friendship, BY HERBERT QUICK mO the People of Japan: Your history and ours have been strangely intertwined. The future is certain to bring us even more closely into contact, for good or 111. For good, if we understand and respect each other; for ill, unless we each see the position of the other and try to respect it. You have just been sorely afflicted by earthquake, fire and storm. You are grateful to us for what little we have done to help you. We have not done too much. We make no claims for what we have done. We shall be satisfied if you will regard it as proof that we are your friends. No Hatred Held You have been hurt and angered in the past because of the attitude of the United States toward the immigration of Japanese to America. You felt it meant an official act asserting the inferiority of Japanese and of our hatred of them. We ask you to take our acts recently as proof that it was not hatred. And as to which race is inferior, our common people’s feeling is exactly like the common feeling of Japanese toward us. All peoples feel themselves superior to ail others so far as the common man Is concerned. The average Japanese feels superior to Americans. The average American feels superior to Japanese. This is quite natural and Inevitable. Thinkers in America regard the Japanese as racially the equals of Americans. Not Based on Inferiority Our exclusion of Japanese is not based on your inferiority. It is based on the differences between us. Our nation is a democracy. We cannot let In great numbers of people who cannot mingle with us racially and combine into one race with us. This must be in the main by intermarriage with our people. The Japanese cannot do this. Japanese anl Americans of the educated and cultured classes can successfully intermarry, but it cannot be done among the commonalty. The reason lies in our great physical dissimilarity. Prejudice rules in matters relating to marriage, and prejudice asserts itself in voting and controls government. Therefore, if there were very many Japanese in America, it would be sure to cause trouble between America and Japan. Would Make Friction Please dismiss from your ninda that notion >f inferority. We don’t Iqt you in because we know better than you can know that if you came in large numbers it woilld produce an impossi ble situation which would produce international friction and perhaps worse Try to understand this at this time when the hearts of the two nations are so drawn together by the sympathy of giving and receiving, and remember it in the future when the immigration question shall arise again as it Is sure to do.

To the Editor of The Times: On the steps at the city hall is a bench on which is painted “Make Indianapolis the Most Beautiful City In America.” My suggestion is that they hire a janitor, probably an extra one, to wash the filthy globes which illuminate our own beautiful city hall building. ONE WHO WANTS INDIANAPOLIS BEAUTIFUL. Science One hundred years ago, a son was born to a peasant couple in Silesia who was destined so bear the greatest name in biological discoveries. This son was Gregor Mendel, who became Abbot of Brunn and one of the world’s most noted scientists. In the garden of his monastery he made experiments with peas, bees and certain weeds and, through these expert-) ments, he evolved what Is now known as “Mendel's law.’’ This law is the authority on matters of heredity and Mendel is considered the founder of the scientific study of heredity. It ranks with the wor that laid the foundation of the atomic laws of chemistry. Mendel published the results of his experiments in 1865, but it was lost sight of until 1900. Darwin was puzzled by certain things that would have been clear t 6 him, if he had known of the work of his comtemporary, Mendel. The latter died in 1884, before his work became fiunous. Profits Big office buildings, five to thirty stories high, earn an average of only 4 to 7 per cent on the money invested in the building, according to an architectural magazine. For the smaller skyscrapers, the land or site is usually worth more than the building. When it comes to thirtystory buildings, the land Is generally worth a quarter as much as the building. The value of land, of course, usually is created by people who work on it or nearby, not by the land owner. It’s an interesting system of the public being taxed by individuals who got there first.

Heard in the Smoking Room

His pre-emptory order to the colored barber gave ua all a thrill.

W. G. Conover, Philadelphia: “The general public and newspaper cartoonists have the wrong idea about laundries. It Is wrong to ridicule them so much. Laundrymen have done much to advance civilization. Congressman Martin Davey, Ohio: “The farmer is the only one I know of who pays the freight both ways. It is unjust to force him to pay the higher prices for the thinrs he needs to buy, which are the direct reeult of high tariff on such articles.’ Rev. Dr. Howard Field.

Can you imagine Jesus Christ seeking to wage opposition against any people who love Him and seek to bring their lives into harmony with His will, whether they be Cath olio or Protestant?

CHINA WILL HAVE U. S. WIRELESS Greatest Station in World Will Bring Two Nations in Direct Communication, By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Timet Staff Correspondent fTyrl ASHINGTON, Oct. 15— Contracts are now being let In this I _J country for the greatest wireless station in the world, to be built at Shanghai, and which will open up, for the first time, direct communication between China and the United States. Blocked by the Japanese and the British for years, the scheme now has all the necessary official signatures, and what is regarded as one of the most important diplomatic victories In recent years can be marked down for the State Department. Hitherto ail China has known of the United States and vice versa has come to them principally through subsidized British and Japanese agencies. Now all this is to be changed. Trade Will Increase This means, among other things, the volume of American trade with China will increase tremendously, and this, in turn, means money in the pocket of American workmen. It means better relations between the two countries, increased shipping, quicker, more reliable ands greater volume of news. The main station will be Just outside of Shanghai. It will consist of seven towers 1,000 feet high. In other words, each shaft will be higher than Eiffel Tower in Paris. It will be of 1,000 kilowatt power, capable of direct communication with the United States and other principal wireless stations of the world. Four other stations will go up simultaneously, of 600 kilowatt power each—at Pekin, Canton, Hankow and Harbin. Other stations will be added at the discretion ot the Chinese government. Will Cost $4,620,000 The stations will take some two years to complete and will cost $4,620,000. The principal stumbling hlock in the way of the federal wireless concern was Mitsui & Cos., the great Japanese house, which had secured from the Chinese a monopoly for wireless exploitation in China for thirty years Japanese diplomacy left no stone unturned to make this monopoly stick, but the American Government persistently, and for years, insisted upon the application of the open door in China, or equal rights for ajl, regard less of nationality, and finally won out. The British government pressed the claims of Marconi, Ltd., which purported to have a monopoly of its own for a period of twenty years.

Tramping on the accelerator until the floor boards crack can't get enough speed out of Bloomington's police car to overtake alleged rum runners, Police Chief Campbell says. Several have escaped because the machine Isn’t as fast as the alleged booze cars, Campbell says. Bert George, Muncle, dropped a dime In the dark at his home and attempted to find it without turning on the lights. Pawing upder the dresser he yelled as though he had been rewarded. He only found a mouse trap. Twenty years ago Mrs. Elmer Cary, Sullivan, lost her wedding ring. Several days ago the ring was found in the yard of her home. And it haupened on her twenty third wedding anniversary. A magician was performing in Ft. Wayne. A horse was used In the act and was kept ■waiting In the alley with an attendant. The curtain went up. Mysterious rites and violent efforts by the orchestra failed to produce the horse. The attendant thinking the act was over had disappeared with the animal and the show was delayed until It was again procured. Animal Facts Badger cnoe lived all over North America, but civilization has driven him at last to the far West and North. At first glance this chap looks as broad as he Is long, but that’s because he parts his hair down the middle of his back and it sticks out on each side like Kaiser Bill’s mustache. In science of zoology, badger family Is rated as half way between dog and bear. . Porcupine’s a dull, sleepy, slow boy except in one thing—his tall is greased lightning. Keep your leg or hand from that tail, If you don't want It to become a pincushion of quills quicker than your eye can see. Woodchuck originally lived only In New England, but It was so much fun bothering the Yankee he followed him when he emigrated to the West. It was always a question whether he or the Yank farmer owned that clover patch. Woodchuck Is no more an animal of the woods than the field and he’s first cousin to the prairie dog. Dr. T. Wesley Mills, noted Canadian naturalist, thinks gray squirrel Is the most brainy rodent. How about the rat? Fewer, but wiser, game laws are making Pennsylvania a hunter’s paradise. State Is now full of deer and wild turkey again abounds. Gunners are no longer permitted to ruthlessly slaughter harmless, playful black 'bear. Most luxuriant tall extant is the giant ant eater’s. He uses It for a tent at night and as an umbrella In the rainy Amazon country where he lives. After one eyeful of that tall, whiskers are a joke to you. Negroes The death rate among negroes is h}gh. Seventeen out of every 1,000 colored people die each year, according to the government. This Is a death rate seven-tenths higher than among whites. Number of negro undertakers Increased three-fifths in a decade. Whites are more adapted to stand the wear and tear of civilization, being longer removed from the natural state of outdoor life than the negroes.

All other questions will receive a pergonal rt ply Unsigned requests cannot be answered. All letters are confidential.—Editor. How does on® rid a garden of snails? Sprinkle air-slaked lime over the pants affected and around tne garden. When the lime gets on the snails they throw off so much slime that they become weakened and die. Other remedies are soot, road dust and sifted wood ashes. When is the best time of the year to plant trees? Between the middle oC October and the middle of November. When were roller skates Invented and first used? Patented in France as early as 1819. About 1864 the mania for roller skating appeared in Austria, and in 1866 the “rinklng" fever broke out in Australia and spread thence to England and the United States. Os what nationality was Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone? By birth he was a Scotchman; he was ar. American by adoption. What doos the abbreviation “mo” in books mean. These designations date back over 100 years, when print paper was made only in one size, say 24x24 inchee; this folded twice made a quarto, 12x12 Inches: printed so as to make eight pages on each side of the sheet it formed an octavo, 8 vo. Printed to make twelve pages on each side, duodecimo, 12 mo; 16 pages, 16 mo; 24 pages, 24 mo; 64 pages, 64 mo. Later these designations were valed. as cap quarto, crown octavo—the latter being a fraction larger than the old 12 mo and smaller than the old octavo; however, they mean nothing in these days, when the size of the sheet is limited only by the capacity of the press; Indeed, some of the cheaper books are printed on webb presses. The dimensions mention above are approximate. Where is the “sunshine center” of the United States? It is situated in the extreme southwest, near the mouth of the Colorado River. According to the National Geographic Society, Yuma, Ariz., furnishes the dot on the map on which to place a compass and draw the circle into which the sunbeams pour almost ceaselessly during daylight hours. Only eighteen days in the average year can be called cloudy in Yuma and in a rough circular area about 100 miles from the city In every direction. What is the origin of the name “Letchworth” ? It Is of Scotch origin, the letch being e. stream running through a swampy soil. What is the Harvest Moon? The full moon nearest to Sept. 21. This la because the moon then rise* for several consecutive evenings at nearly the same hour, giving an unusual number of moonlight evenings, most noticeable in the higher latitudes. It is not true at the equator. Is butter ever made of fishes? Yes, the natives of British Columbia make a butter substitute of the eulaehan, a fish from 6 to 8 Inches long and almost all pure oil. Do bedbugs have lungs? No. They breathe by means of air tubes. Will you give the meaning and pronunciation of the word “shedk” and who is tho author of the book by that name? The word is pronounced shlk, sh as in ship, 1 as In police; or shek, e as in prey. In countries the name applies to the head of a tribe or the chief. The author of the novel by that name is Edith M. Hull. Is it correct for a gentleman to take a lady’s arm when walking across a dance iloor? No. This is one of the few times when it is correct for her to take Ills arm instead.

What Editors Are Saying

Courts (Rushjville Daily Republican) Now it is proposed that in every community there shall be a separate court for children who are offenders against the law. It would seem that if Judges in courts now maintained ar6 not fit to try children’s cases, there should be a overhauling of Judicial personnel. Besides, if we are to have a separate judicial system for children, why not another for women, another for old malda, another for old bachelors, one for sihort-haired women, one for long-haired men. and so on to the end of multiplicty of officialdom? Gambling (Unionn City Evening Times) Don’t lntvest in any stock that your banker is not willing to or at least to take as security for ■ loan, unless you do so purely In a gambling Spirit and can afford to lose. Economy Clfewcastle Courier) Loceyl chambers of commerce, taxpayers’ leagues and other civic organizations that believe in retrenchment, economy amd reduction of taxation should ados>t resolutions commending the reductions that have been made in the pasg three years and calling upon their Senators and Congressmen to continue! that policy. Speak now or forever after hold your peace. Partnership (Hartford City News) Many parents find it difficult to get children to do any work about the home unless- they are paid for it. It is a gpod idea for children to feel at an early age that they are a member of that partnership which is creating a home, and that every member of that partnership ought to make some contribution to the work of carrying on that home. If this ldqa is shown them in a reasonable way, they usually like to cooperate and often get great satisfaction in performing some task in whose completion they take pride.

Observations

It will be awful If that Chicago church shooting proves to be a precedent. The crack of pistols will fill the land, wham wives go to shooting up folks who accuse their husbands. Mrs. Bergdtjfll says her son Grover “will take his medicine.” showing that Mrs. Bergdoll has an unusually strong motherly grip* on her boy. A wise map says we are on the wrong track when we try to change the home-cooßclng of Immigrants, but he will have to admit we are on the right scent. If King Soiymon cam*/ to the old world now he would ur.doubtjdly decide the wisdom busineas has its limits. Flasks Sllversmithsi report a decided falling off in demand for small liquor flasks to be carried lii ladles’ handbags. Before prohibition there was a big market for them, svhich’ll surprise many. However, th* flask Industry in general Is busy. The demand Is for the larger sizes. "We wonder how many times a flask nan bs filled before some of this high-power bootleg eats through the glass. Shooting About forty-five million dollars' worth of firearms and ammunition were manufactured in our country lna 1921, according to a census report* This year, probably more. The figure doesn’t Include the product of Government establish) nents. It’s the wholesale value, so the public pays considerably more for killing Instruments. Not much wonder there are so many murders and other crimes of violenoe, considering tbe millions of dollars’ worth of shooting apparatus available for the criminial world. One way to check crime suid check it quickly: Curb tha sale qf • firearms and ammunition.
