“FORGET-ME-NOT DAY” J p VERY man, woman and child in this city will have an opML port unity to be a part of the nation-wide movement to assist wounded and disabled American veterans of the World War on “Forget-Me-Not” Day. It will be observed throughout the United States Saturday, Nov. 10. You remember—or have you forgotten?—how all of us promised when the boys marched away to war that never, never, would we forget them. If you wear a cloth forget-me-not flower, to be sold on the streets on the day set aside for the colle'ction, you will show outwardly that you have not let thoughts of our heroes fade from your mind. Proceeds of “National Forget-Me-Not Day” will be used for relief, welfare, legislative, hospitalization and rehabilitation assistance of the Nation’s wounded and disabled veterans of the world struggle. James A. McFarland, national commander of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, has received a letter from President Coolidge warmly indorsing “Forget-Me'Not Day” and landing the veterans’ organization for its constructive work. WRONGS OF THE COURTS mUDGE MICHAEL L. M’KINLEY of Chicago is writing a series of articles in which he dilates on “what is wrong with the criminal court.” He admits many of these wrongs and seems to believe the only remedy may be found in an aroused civic consciousness and the better conscience of better judges. These two purgatives, administered together, would go a long way toward correction, but they would not entirely cure the disease. Justice must be divorced from party politics. That is the only cure—the only preventive—not only for the evils of the criminal court, but for the evils of all the other elective courts. There can be no justice where the power of party affiliations and party pull rise superior to the written law. There can be E" justice where the court and its officcft are subjected to any pressure or are influenced by any attachment that is beyond the law and the evidence. These are facts as plain as the average no<e on the human face. Judicial and court selections and elections could; by several means, be secured outside and apart from party, if we did but seek those means. We will, in time, appeal to them. We will get better consciences and better judges then, and not until then, and justice in its true meaning will have its inning. And. furthermore. we will gain much in that the new and cleaner order of J judicial administration will influence the bar, as a whole, to regard the law as something other than a trick animal. Speed the day. z

THE U. S. PRESIDENT AND YOUR SON . LITTLE ceremony will be held tonight by members of A Troop No. 45 of the Boy Scouts. In honor of a friend—and such is the basis of the Scout creed—the youths of the troop will pay tribute to Warren G. Harding at the Gentral T niver c alist Church. Today is the birthday of the dead President. Scouts will worship at his shrine of patriotism. The position of President is oddly different from the high official position of any European peer. No better illustration can be found than the fact that every President of the United States serves as honorary head of the Boy Scouts of America. To have leadership in spirit, if not actively, over the ideals and living of 618.000 youths in one country is, indeed, a rare privilege. “I wish every boy in our America could have the advantage and honor of being in the Boy Scout organization. Harding had said. Woodrow Wilson, whose ideals have stood the test of political criticism and persecution, made this tribute: “The Boy Scouts have not only demonstrated their worth to the Nation, but have also contributed to a deeper appreciation of the American people of the high conception of patriotism and citizenship.” Roosevelt thus paid homage to the movement : “The Boy Scout movement is distinctly an asset to our coun try for the development of efficiency, virility and good citizenship.” To intrust in one organization the “makings of a Nation in producing virile manhood with clean ideals and strong characters is more than an asset. Is your son among the 1.600 Scouts in lnd‘anapolis? Think ii over. GOOD SAMARITANS OF FOUNTAIN SQUARE rpnEW stories are as old or as familiar as the one of the Sa } r maritan. Lending a helping hand is as old as civilization itself. The giving of aid is one thing, yet society should not attempt to rely upon the wandering Samaritan for aiding the sick and the needy. It is much better to have the “Good Samaritan” remain on the job in living his gospel of good will. In this spirit the Family Welfare Society announces the establishment soon of a branch in the territory tributary to the Fountain Square district. Aid will be ministered by those who are friends to the needy people—those who have a personal, neighborly interest in them. That’s much better than a commercial basis of merely giving money. It’s the heart that counts. A genuine smile is worth more than a mere dole of charity. APPLICANTS for Federal employment are advised by the civil service commission to tell the truth. Why wouldn’t that be good advice for candidates for elective offices? PROHIBITION seems to have furthered the cause of the single standard of measurement. Corn, grapes and apples are all three being estimated at so many gallons per acre. NAVY will sell the battleships lowa and Massachusetts and the cruisers Ranger and Constellation to the highest bidders. Purchasers must take their ships with them, either by water, on freight cars or in boxes. “ONE of the favorable results of the coal strike last year has been the thorough investigation of the coal business in all its pbaser.” chortles the American Society. Will they please tell us about the profits of the individual operators?

WIDOW OF CROKER TO ‘CARRY ON’ Tammany Hall Will Be Guided by Voice of Dead Chief From Beyond, ! By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT NEA Service Staff Writer N* EW YORK, Nov. 2. —Richard Croker is dead, but Tammany i L— l Hall, the country’s most power ' ful political machine which he helped 'assemble, wiH be'guided in its cam : poign this fall by his voice. Croker’s voice speaks through his ; widow, Bula Edmondson Croker. She ] sits in council with Tammany chiefs, j She holds out the Croker millions for I Tammany to 4 do with as it wills. Behind this is a story of loyalty undying even in death —of double loyalty. “All that I have I owe to the boys at Tammany Hall, and what I have is theirs.” That is what Croker told his young wife shortly before he died. Spirit Is Heft “When he died a part of me died,” says Mrs. Croker. “His spirit was ' with me after he died. It is with me j now. And so now I am doing what 1 j know he would do. “Before my husband died,” Mrs. j Croker continued, "he told me that the most desirable quality in any man ! was gratitude. ‘The boys in Tammany I fought many a hard battle for me and I with me,’ he said to me. ‘Go back 'to them. Tell them that they can comI mand you as they would command me. I I would rather have them think of tme as loyal than to think, of me as i great.’ ” And so Croker’s widow has offered j Tammany her money and her services. ' "I shall do anything except run for j office,” she says. If A1 Smith, New York's governor, should gain the Democratic nomination for President, you’ll probably see her as a campaign speaker throughout the country. Croker met Bula Edmondson in September, 1014. In her veins nun the blood of the Cherokee Indians. She was studying music and public speak ing. They were married in November. Destiny Guides Us “Destiny guides us," said Mrs. Croker. “Years before he met me Mr. Croker had built a shack on some kind in Florida. He called it ’The Wig warn.' Little did he think that one day he would bring an Indian woman there to live. “I do not know how much my hus band's estate Is worth, but that land in Florida Is now valued at a million and a half. Tammany can have It. for the spirit of Richard Croker is with me still and I cannot help but be loyal to his loyalties.” Mrs. Croker. still young In years. Is wearing yet the mourning she donned at her husband’s death. “I haves had such happiness as few women know,” she sold. "I do not j need the fortune that was left me I can live under a tree If necessary, j Perhaps, some day, I shall adopt a child—but I shall never marry again." |

It is found In the Bible: Proverbs j XXV, 22, “Heap coals of flre upon his I head,*’ and again In Homans XII, 20. “If thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire ori his head." The meaning of the ex pression is to shame by returning good for evil the inference being that as metal Is melted by heaping hot coals upon it. the hard heart is melted In the same manner. In what countries are chestnut trees found? In the United States, Canada. Asia and Europe. When was Louis Philippe of France in the United States? From 1706 to 1800. How many boats pass through the Suez Canal and ths Panama Canal? In 1021, 3,975 boats passed through the Suez Canal For the fiscal year j ended June 30, 1922. 2,726 passed through the Panama Canal. How many were rejected under the Selective Draft because of defective vision? Approximately 20,000. What is sandblasting? A device for cleaning, engraving cutting and boring glass, stone, metal, or hard substances, by the per cussive force of a rapid stream of sh,arp sand driven against them by artificial means. The device was in vented by Gen. Benj. Tilghman of Philadelphia. To whom is Lila Lee married? To James Kirkwood. How many bakers are there in the United States? 97,940. How may lead be removed from rifle barrels? One Way is to remove powder fouling first by means of sal soda solution, and then, having closed one end of the barrel, introduce a small amount of mercury, close the other end of the barrel, and let the mercury come In contact with all parts of the inner surface of the barrel. Remove the mercury and mercury-lead alloy, and clean with a swab. Another way is to thread a' piece of cloth through the cleaning rod as usual; then run a piece of copper wire through above the rag; twist the wire back over the rag aind you will then have a cleaner which will take out small flakes of lend from your rifle barrel and will greatly improve its shooting qualities. This method of removing lead wili not injure the rifle on account of the soft nature of the copper. To secure the 1*- rsiil* th cleaner should fit . • ■ • -.1

French experts have invented a way to mix aluminum and bronze for use In gold coins, thereby makii.g a metal that cannot be duplicated by counter felters.

It is still a most fertile field for criminal ad venture, and those engaged in It generally are of a high type of Intelligence because of the education and technical knowledge required in the making of Imitation money. Ancient Greek coins have been unearthed recently showing cleverly molded counterfeit coins, ihe core of copper and the coating of silver.

MILLIONAIRE I CRIPPLE IS CHARITABLE Sets Up Hospital and Home for Afflicted Children — Employs Experts, ! Hu XEA Her rice Mi INNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2.—From the purse of a hopeless cripple comes a magnificant gift—a gift measuring $1,000,000 in money but priceless in the measure of its aid to a stricken humanity. William Henry Eustis. former mayor of Minneapolis, helplessly lame since boyhood. has saved and struggled through life in order that he might prevent other children suffering as he has suffered. Affliction and cites pair have made no misanthrope of him. He is a warmhearted old bachelor, happier now j than he has been for more than threej score of his seventy-eight years, in I the realization that at last he has ful filled his wish despite the terrible handicap fate imposed upon him. Gets Noted Surgeon Eustis has set apart a million dollars from his savings for the erection and perpetuation of a hospital and convalescent home for crippled chil ' dren to be administered by the University of Minnesota. And he also makes it possible to have the hospital placed in charge of Dr. C. F. Pirquet, world famous pe diatrlc specialist, who has ‘resigned from the University of Vienna to come to the University of Minnesota and look after the Eustis enterprise. Eustis hasn't always been a crip pie. He, too, has known what it Is to run and play. The huskiest of twelve children, his father once entertained hopes of his becoming a blacksmith. Suddenly Stricken “And blacksmith I would doubtless have become,” says Eustis. “had I not been struck, as though by a bolt of lightning, when I was 15.” It was not lightning, though. It was necrosis. It confined him to a couch for the better part of the next six years, leaving him permanently 1 crippled. Later he was able to get around on crutches, and then he went to school, although his father figured , he was wasting his time. His father by that time wanted him to be a cobbler, since his affliction prevented him from following the blacksmith's trade But young Eustis taught school In the spring and fall terms and went to the academy In winter. Then he went to Wesleyan College In Connecticut and took a liberal arts course, selling life insurance to keep going. After getting a diploma, and, Incidentally, a Ph! Reta Kappa key, he went to New York for a law course at Columbia. One of the conditions of Eustis’ endowment is that all children, regardless of race, creed or color, may ; Lave the advantages of the hospital and the home. Those who can pay will be allowed to. but the treatment for rich and poor will be the same.

What Editors Are Saying

Picturesque (Goshen Daily News-Times) Mayor Shank of Indianapolis is the latest entry’ into the race for the Republican nomination for Governor next year. Being a picturesque sort of a fellow It was natural that his campaign should be based upon some thing a little out of the ordinary, and this touch of originality is found in his proposal to light the main public highways of she Stale with electricity. This would require considerable “juice.’’ to say nothing of necessary equipment, but the mayor is never daunted by little things like these. It is also inferred from his announce ment that the Ku-Klux Klan expect to have undisputed sway Indiana should the mayor be elevated to the governorship. Shank is convinced that a pillow case and a bed sheet are not essential to 100 per oent Americanism and he promises to make it uncomfortable for those who are trying to establish this standard of citizenship. Anyway. Samuel Lewis Shank will add spice to the gubernatorial scrap and his opponents will do well not to overlook the fact that In past political battles he has won oftener than he has lost.
