THEBE’S A REASON, IT SEEMS EOWERING the high cost of living is a universal problem. Catting coal expense is not only good efficiency for a manufacturing plant, but for the household. That this can be accomplished with the result of saving Indianapolis many thousands of dollars in fuel cost is the contention of the Scientech Club and the Indianapolis chapter of the National Association of Stationary Engineers. Does it work in practice? That is the test, whether a professor from Purdue or a Cincinnati expert insists or not. Eli Lily & Cos., Indianapolis, saved $16,000 in one year by installing smoke abatement devices, officials declare. Other plants have experienced similar success. Abolishing soot is not merely an aid to civic beauty and health. It is a practical 100 cents industrial economy. HOSPITABLE WELCOME NO. 979 rr-J NEWS item states “General Haller was taken to the top |/\| of the Monument, where he attempted to view the city covered with smoke.” That ought to have made the Polish army hero feel right at homo. We Hoosiers pride ourselves on hospitality. Certainly a general who is accustomed to viewing a smokecovered battle field should find Indianapolis a pleasant place to visit. SOLUTION FOR “LOVERS’ LANE” Ty/JHILE the State is boosting good highways, farmers of HenW dricks County have filed a petition asking that White Lick Creek road be abandoned. “Petting parties,” mostly by Indianapolis young people, are blamed by irate residents along the road who are willing to do without the conveniences of a highway if these wooers can he kept away. Since Indianapolis is blamed. Indianapolis may well offer a solution. Maybe Hendricks County farmers would find a solution in Lew Shank’s plank to install electric lights on some of the State highways. Electric lights would outshine “sparklers,” anyway. MONUMENT TO PURE FOODS P"f ~\T)I ANA POT JS' Pure Food Show is on at Tomlinson Hall. I J To some, that means merely curiosity to taste the many samples of foods given to visitors. Mrs. Housewife, however, finds the -.how quite different. She perhaps remembers the day when her grandmother prepared all the dishes, tended a garden, kept cows and chickens, churned butter and canned the fruit. Now foods are assured cleanliness and quality by Government regulations. The year 11*28 rinds manufactured food pure and clean.

MINISTER VS. JUDGE ON MARRIAGE rTTjARRIAGE and divorce— -two problems of modem T tfe. The |J\i| minister creates the one; the judge the other. Hence similar opinions of Dr. E. A. Robertson. East Park M. E. Church, and Judge Sidney S. Miller, Superior Court, are of more than casual interest. In a “plain talk” Sunday to bis congregation, here’s what the minister advises the girl: ' admonish you not to marry a young rnar. vitli a short or limited acquaintance. .Make inquiry about his family, their tioral ami social standing. Ask yourself how doe* he treat his parents, his sisters aDd his neighbors ” Those who rush into marriage often rush out That’s the judge ’a tip to the men. “The two biggest events in a man’s life is Aoosing a life job and getting married,” he says. “It either rtkes or breaks him. Most men give no thought to either—just irift into marriage and into a job. and many just drift out ag-tin. Many persons who marry have not the slightest idea of wj/at is meant. It is serious business. Twenty-one divorces were granted one dr i last week. The total for the week was nearly 100. In October only 400 marriage licenses ’ ere granted in Marion County. The total in October, 1922, v*s 450. GOVERNMENT of New Zealand has ceat 4 to control sugar. The Government of the United States lost consol long ago. ONE-THIRD of Czechoslovakia is in ihe woods.

Even the holes are not exempt, th< ax being by the box and not by the pound. RUDYARD KIPLING’S “Light Tha, Failed” has been revived and is in the movies. The climax m where the hero drinks a lot of booze, then goes blind. Writ m in the nineties, Rud used a prophetic pen. NOT a single Californian reported a millicm-dollar income in 1921. Yet, Charley, Doug and Mary .ave solemnly testified to several times that amount annual net jeeipts. How the income shrinks when the tax man comes! JAPANESE are returning to Tol > in large numbers. After the earthquake Kobe and Osaka look- as if they might become the real centers of Japan. But meir. ry is short and sentiment long. “BILL” WRIGLEY, gum manui icturer. called on President Coolidge. “Bill” is one of the big est contributors to the Republican campaign fund. Coming -om Southern California he lias hitherto been rated as a Johnsot progressive. But that White House visit looks suspicious—eh, B 1? AUSTRIAN savings-deposits c Sept. 1 were fourteen times the amount they were eleven moi ths previously. Any banker will tell you that savings accounts are a good barometer.

SUPER-RACE OF HUMANS IS DREAM Head of Foundation Says We'll All Be Perfect By and By. By SEA Service OCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 7. Birth of anew race of superior V__J beings, perfect men and women In every sense of the word, Is about to come to pass— If the thirty-three-year-old dream of Dr. Alzamon Ira Lucas, founder and head of the Super-Race Foundation of Rochester and New York, comes true. The method of creating this superior race is really a complex matter. Dr. Lucas, in a long and earnest interview, explained everything, which, for the purpose of dissemination to the public, may be stated as follows: This January the work of the SuperRace Foundation will find concrete expression in a convention called “The American Congress of Superior Caucasians.” Dr. Lucas believes only the pure-blooded Caucasian should rule the United States, just as only the pure-blooded Mongolian should control the reigns of government of China Selecting Super-Parents At this congress he hopes to have, besides the delegates, a group of about sixty men and women, equally divided. These will have been selected in various States of the country and at the congress will receive testa of intellect, body and morality. He believes that out of the supermen and women thus found, probably 10 per cent will fall in love with each other and eventually marry, although he will not in any way try to force useh a tldng. These six persons, three couples, will go out into the world, teaching the doctrines of the superior man, multipling themselves, and In that way eventually wipe out those diseased in body and mind. ‘‘l hesitate to say how long this will take. Probably ten generations. Probably twenty or thirty. But why rush?” Dr. Lucas says. “There is no hurry. “Granted that the man and woman, found to be superior, are in complete harmony, they can beget children whose sex they not only can determine before birth, but whose vocation as well they can forecast. “There must be a mutual, soulful undemanding. They must l>e able to project the picture of the type of child they wish. Many say that if the sex and vocation of a child can be predetermined, that all parents will wish for doctors, lawyers, writers and such. Women to Choose Husbands “Pome say that everyone will want a boy. But I believe that tbs woman should have the first choice and that should be a girl. “The woman certainly should choose her husband, even if it is necessary to propose to him. "Certainly, when the superior nice comes into existence there will bo no disease, no worry, no trouble, no hatred, no w * rs.

UNUSUAL PEOPLE One Man’s Play Bv SEA Service S" T. LOUTS, Nov. 7. —Fred Myers, song writer and dramatist, is i___J working day and night to fulfill at bet by Jan. 1, which may mean fame and fortune for him.

It is the production of a musical comedy without a single dollar of outside expense and without any aid. which means that Myers must write the book and lyrics, compose the music, design the scenery and electrical effects and attend to all production details up to the premier pert or mance.

If ho’s successful, the New York producer who laid down these conditions offers to accept the play and put it on Broadway, with a bonus and royalties for Myers. < Myers is confident he'll succeed.

Indiana Sunshine

Sunday is rapidly becoming a Hoopier market day. Watch the automobiles coming In from the country laden with good things to eat after the Sabbath clay drive. Many homes are also pleasantly decorated with fall flowers and foliage brought in from the country during Indian summer season. Some of the homeward bound cars resemble miniature forests. William H Moeller, Ft Wayne chief of police, spent three hours of his honeymoon In a Chicago Jail. He even offered to turn his bride’s diamond ring over to the police If they would release him. When aid appeared and posted $2,000 required for the chief's relief, the lrrate bridegroom learned the affair was just a “little" Joke. Two Lafayette hunters, Ivan Amo* and Charles Gushwa, bagged some unusual game. They saw that they thought was a racoon sunning Itself In a tree and flred. When It. came tumbling to the ground they found they had killed a monkey. They were unable to account for their until it was learned the Animal'had escaped from a circus several months ago. Real estatV transactions are listed in a Frankfort newspaper as "Deals in Dirt." We wonder why "Dirty Deals” wouldn't be a better caption?

Not Alone It was in the middle of the night when Smith, returning homo late, was bowled over as his neighbor, Jones, running at full speed, collided with him. "What’s your hurry?" he demanded. “I’m—ugh—ugh—going for the police!” par.ted Jones. “We’ve got a burglar In our house!” “But surely you haven’t left your wife alone?” "Oh—ugh—ugh—she isn’t alone.

HI JOHNSON BOOM HITS G. O. P. HARD Millionaire ‘Angel’ Is Against Both Coolidge and Pinchot. BY W. H. PORTERFIELD —ASHINOTON, Nov. 7.—A puhVY/j lie statement forecasting the * * I Hiram Johnson boom of 1924 hurled by one Ralph Beaver Strassburger of Norristown, Pa., has thrown the Republican national camp into something approaching panic. Strassburger is the millionaire owner of Normandy stock farm, Gwynedd Valley, Pa., and also owner and publisher of the Norristown Times-Herald, as well as being a member of the finance committee of the Republican State committee, friend of the late Senators Knox and Penrose, “regular of the regulars,” and open and avowed opponent of Gifford Pinchot. Financial “Angel” But it is as chief financial contributor to the Hiram Johnson campaign fund of 1920 that Brer Rtrassburger coyly admits his importance in the scheme of things, for it was he, Strassburger, who underwrote the entire $200,000 which was spent by Albert. Lasker and his associates in that campaign for Hiram. It appears he was one of the chief financial “angels” of the anti-League of Nations movement and in this way, he says, drawm to Hiram because of Johnson’s fight against ,‘he League In the Senate. Victory in Defeat Strassburger recounts the “victory in defeat” of the irreconcilables who, while they lost their candidate, wore able to write an anti-League plank in the Chicago platform over the protest of W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, chief sponsor of Calvin Coolidge at the same convention. Hiram will make his announcement in a few days, according to Strassburger. and he can count on all his old-time financial support, “for times like these demand the kind of a President that Hiram Johnson is destined to become,” he adds.

Science

Efforts are being made by persons and organizations interested in stopping the slaughter of salmon to have all fish wheels abolished. These appliances are large revolving wheels, carrying nets. The wheels are installed in riveis nod when the salmon visit th< rivers in swarms the wheels turn and th< nets scoop them up. Ttiis method of commercial fishing has been abolished in most countries. It is still used in some sections of the Pacific coast. .Study of the salmon has occupied scientists and fishermen for many years. In 1919 the CkUifornia fish and game commission marked 25.000 salmon and liberated them in the Klamath River. These fish had been raised from eggs that were taken from the Sacramento River. In 1921 and 1922 the marked fish returned from the sea to the Klamath River This experiment indicated that, no matter where the eggs come from, the salmon return, for spawning, to the river in which they were liberated.

Til F. train had stopped at a lit t H depot on the Virginia Central and a country brass band was rruiking cheer for a parade, the arrival of a distinguished citizen, or something. The trombonist was at least six feet eight inches long, lean and muscular. The way he worked the piston of his horn made ail the smokers roar, and as the train started one of them spoke. “That fellow out there with the pump-horn reminds me of the Mogadore band that did the music at the Seville, Ohio, county fair, ope time, 'way back in the 80’s.

And modestly begin agatn To let their ears come out again For quite awhile it’s been the style, A fashion most particular. Not to disclose to vision those Appendages auricular By which a perfect lady hears — Not to disclose, in brief, her ears. She might reveal from knee to heel Her legs in silken hosiery. Or wear a gay decollette Which was a bit “exposure-y,” But though her ears were pink and small, She couldn’t let them show at all. For they amid her hair were hid, And in the best society To show a mere tip of an ear Approached gross impropriety; And hard-boiled flappers fainted quite If any ears appeared in sight. But now at last that day has passed When ears appeared a crudity. Now fashions urge that ears emerge In bold triumphant nudity; At first, of course, we’ll blush a bit, But soon we shall be used to it. Kars are coming in again And women go about again And modestly begin again To let their ears come out again. (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

The Standard of Compariatm

A Buick for Business With its roadsters for 1924, Buick has again created anew standard of roadster utility and attractiveness. Nor can the appearance of this four-cylinder two-passenger model convey in full its story. The famous Buick valve-in-head engine provides even greater flexibility and acceleration than before. The proved Buick four-wheel brakes assure more than ample safety for any emergency. Business of today demands a sturdy, pcrwea> ful, safe and dependable car —one that remains constantly in service.

What Editors Are Saying

Fathers (Richmond Palladium) The intimate relationship whioh should exist between father and son Is to be stressed during the week of November 11th. Richmond and Wayne County have already made their plans for a general observance. The father and son movement is a protest against the apathy of many fathers toward the interests of their sons, and at the same time an inspiration to induce them to enter into the spirit of youth and become real companions to their boys. Success in dollar and cents is failure if it involves parental neglect ot a son, who. lacking a father’s lore and attention, strays from the straight road and becomes Involved in the mire of immorality and perhaps criminality. The father and son movement 1 hasizes a correct parental relatiotH ship and invites fathers to be true to their calling. • Trees (Crawfordsville Journal) Are you going to plant a tree this fall?
