UNKNOWN SOLDIER SMILES B**"" "1 REARING his long silence, former President Woodrow Wilson Saturday and Sunday delivered two of his old-time "fighting speeches, lampooning those responsible for America’s "dishonorable,” “cowardly” and “humiliating” isolation since j the war. J ' After lifting the world to lofty levels by our high ideals, he • said, and after having paid the fearful price in blood of Amer;iea’s “incomparable soldiers” for the right to help make a just ;aud lasting peace, “we turned our backs and withdrew into a isullen and seltish isolation.” ,il But, he said in his Sunday Speech, “I have seen fools resist * Providence before and I have seen their destruction. I have not the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood ;£?r. That we shall prevail is as sure as God reigns.” Many is the time the spirit of the Unknown Soldier, whose ■ shattered shell is buried beneath the marbles of Arlington, must have wept bitter tears of irony as it listened to platitudinous delivered about its tomb. For the very object for which Mhat soldier gave his life was tossed away by selfish man to gain ;political end. It was a war to end war, was the unknown soldier’s, and Saturday and Sunday afternoon America’s war-time President, the lUnknown’s own former commander-in-chief himself, wounded • nigh unto death in the same great war, renewed the promise that •the unknown had not died in vain. As the former President stood before his house in Washington, like a soldier sorely wounded, it was as if he spoke with his ,’hand on the shoulder of the unknown’s spirit, and to the un--known and all America’s “incomparable” fighting men. living ’and dead as he said: II “That we shall prevail is sure as God reigns.’’ •; Today the spirit of the unknown must be smiling. t 4 LET’S PRESERVE OUR WILD LIFE jTnXTINCTION of game bird and fur bearing animals in InIXL I diana is a possibility that should interest every citizen. • The quail season opened Saturday with beginning also of the period in which fur bearing animals may be trapped. . Quail are more scarce in Indiana than ever, according to State officials. This seems to be only a local proof of the report by T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Association of Audubon Societies, that America’s effort to preserve her game, btrd supply has proved a complete failure. Many species of birds are declining so rapidly they are as sore to pass as have the antelope and bison. Tabby may be a good household pet, but she is blamed for the destroying of 10.000,000 song birds in this country annually. E. IL Forbish. New England ornithologist, is authority for this . estimate. Fur animals, too, are decreasing in numbers. * The head of the American Museum of National History, Prof. • Henry Fairfield Osborne, declared recently that recent ravages if the fur and hide trade have not been paralleled in history of cfeation. Asa result, he declared, the animal kingdom is tottermg and may soon be faced with total extinction. ■ Game preserves are one solution. In this Indiana has taken •forward steps by the creation of the Kankakee preserve and I others. The problem is one which well may be taken up by the public, ; the State and the Nation.

A Calexico (Cal.) newsboy was run down by a Standard Oil Com[ any truck while delivering his newspapers and crippled for life. He got a judgment for $25,000. The case was appealed and the California Supreme Court decreed that $25,000 was too much to pay for wrecking the boy. A second trial of the case resulted in a second judgment for 46J5.000, And now the Supreme Court has again decided that the judgment was excessive and has ordered the Standard Oil Comjjflny to pay the mutilated boy $12,000. .

RED TAPE MILL TAKES VET LIVES Weak Hearts Sent to High Altitudes —Insurance Man Doctors Lungs, By C. A. RANDAU, Timet Staff Correspondent mT is a melanchoy story—the tale of the sufferings of war veterans in hospitals throughout the nation. How many of the thousands of deaths might have been avoided had the victims received the treatment they were entitled to, will, of course, never he known. No Senat * committee can bring out such facts. But death, with its finality, also brings an end to sufferings. The men who have hung on to life, despite the lumberings of the Government red tape mill, are perhaps the greatest, sufferers. Tearing aside tlie curtain which statistics and Government reports always tend to form, George Looms, a war veteran, a writer on the Denver Express, has turned a bright light on the mai-administration that marked one of these veterans' hospitals. Instead of spending their t' tie largely in digging into the number of dollars and cents the Veterans' Bureau wasted in buying unnecssary plots of real estate, It might be welt for the Senators to pause an hour and read the parts of “John-No-Brawn” that depict the inside of a. Government hospital. Information for Senators Herd's a paragraph that will inform Senators Walsh, R“ed and Oddie what the “vets” themselves think of Government administration of the hospitals: Cole chuckled "There's one xuy pulled a (rood one on the board they tell me—yesterday They were arguin' like hell in the next room whether to five him total permanent. or not—that's to civ- him his in- , surance. you know." he added. "Seems as ] thouch you have to have all five lobes or , cavities or somethin? Well.” he went on j "a they were argutri whether or not this j guy was totallv and personally disab’ed. | damn it he <ltdn t. (lie on 'em One of the! doetnrs came walktnc back into his room ‘Well. Lieutenant.' he says, 'we've decided to five it to you.' The ruy was dead. First time the board ever guessed right, they sty' Cole was an old-timer in the hospital. He told Brawn about things In general, and then inquired as to Brawn’s ailing. “I don't think there’s much the matter with me.” said Brawn. "Mightn't be now. Just wait till you've been here a while,” said Cole. Cole's prophecy was all too accurate. A month later he gave Brawn another bit of information. Brawn had expressed the hope that he might soon be shifted to the ambulant ward, E 2 "Don't know as how it helps much to get over there.” said Col*. "One of ’em bumped off ever In F5 2 this mornin’! Found him in his room, in j a rocking chair. Heart went had. thev say. Never thought of looking at his heart. This is a hell of a place for a bad heart. Pflooey! Off you go." He grinned. "Ever had your heart examined?"

\Yo.l cj in Indianapolis Captain Parker was the examining nhysician in the t. b. ward He told Brown, a Loulsvjlle man. that he had studied medicine in Louisville before going to Indianapolis. Brawn asked a question, merely to appear friend iy"No,” said the captain slowly. “I a—as a matter of fact, I did not follow medicine when I went to Indianapolis. I was with the Northern Mutual Life Insurance Company there for six years.” “Oh, I see,” said Brawn. "Medical board? "No.” He paused a long time. Then he closed the bbok and shoved it in a drawer of the desk "I was on the street.” Men with weak hearts were sent to high altitudes in Colorado and insurance salesmen were entrusted with men's lungs! And all the while politicians in Washington rave about “everything for the disabled men!” Looms paints a picture of governmental red tape and lack of understanding that is appalling. He knows whereof he speaks. He himself went through the milL

Family Fun

Father’s Advice. Having been carefully brought up, a young man wrote home to bis father from a distant city, asking advice about marriage. He had left the parental nest early to seek his fortune, and now had found not only that, but a girl to share it with. The answer came promptly: Dear Son Charles—Marriage is a wonderful institution if you find the right mate. The best advice I can give you is to compare your girl to your mother, with whom I have been so ideally happy for the past thirty years. If she can even approximate your dear mother's home-making, housekeeping, and always even temper, you are a lucky young man, and I give you my blessing and advise you to grab her at ronce. Your loving FATHER. P. S.—Your mother has just left the room. Don’t be a damn fool. Stay single!—Everybody's. Father Believes It. “I believe that for every’ single thing we give away it comes back twofold.” “That's just my experience. Last December I gave away my daughter, and she and her husband are nowback w-ith us!” —Passing Show. Doctor Might Push. “Doctor, my mother-in-law is at death's door.

Science

Many new and intersting theories are being advanced as to the poesihll ity of other worlds than this being inhabited. Since science began to understand the conditions surrounding the plants of solar system—this system Itself being a mere speck in the universe—it has been conceded that there Is a possibility of one or two of these planets being Inhabited. For many years it has been believed that con dltions were more favorable for something approaching or superior to human life existing on Mars than on other planets. The “canals” of Mars have been supposed to be of human origin—great engineering feats to support life on a dying world. Recently the planet Venus has attracted more attention than Mars and now takes first place in the spceula tions on this subject. According to these theories Venus Is more liable to support life, a* we understand It, than Mars. Venus is nearer the sun than the earth. This closeness to the sun w-ould make it. too hot for life, but. Venus is surrounded by dense clouds. Ts these clouds are water vapor, as now- advanced by the new theories, then there is a cha.nce that Venus is inhabited bv beings similar to those of this earth. Ts the clouds are dust clouds, then there is little chance that life exists on that planet.

GRAND-DAD WILSON AND KIDS PLAY White-Haired Old Gentleman 'and McAdoo Children Have Great Times, By ROBERT TALLEY Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Nov. 12.—Just two kids and their grandfather have been having the time of their lives in the big red brick house out at 2340 S St., this week. The old gentleman with silky white hair is known to most folks as Woodrow Wilson, but to Ellen Wilson McAdoo, 8, and little Mary Faith McAdoo, 3, he is just plain "Granddaddy.” Ellen and Mary know little and care less about how lie feels on the German reparations claims and other weighty problems that vex' a troubled world, but they admit as a limerickteller, he is there in more ways than one. Fo r instance: "A fisherman people called Lou Went Ashing- in the ocean blue: In the midst of his lark. A seven-foot shark— Made him and the fish all skidoo!” Mr. Wilson delights in limericks and he had dug up a lot of new ones to tell to Ellen and Mary. And, whether you believe it or no'', he got as much fun out of it as they did. Have Great Time

The youngsters, who came here from California with their parents, lost no time in getting out to "Granddaddy’s” house. When their train pulled in at the Union Station, his waiting auto was purring impatiently at the curb and it didn't take long to whisk them and their nurse out there. Nearly every morning since then the Wilson auto has called for them at their hotel and taken them out to his home for an hour or more with their grandfather. Stories, limericks, paper dolls and—well, you can guess the rest. Mr and Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo, their parents, visit the Wilson home nearly every year. And although this is not a political story, It might as well be said here the rumore of serious political friction between Wilson and his son-in-law are the bunk—nothing more. McAdoo is a prospective presidential candidate who stands on h!s own legs; stands as McAdoo. and not as Wilson's son-in-law. If he makes the rare for (he nomination, it will be as such. McAdoo doesn’t even know if Wilson looks with favor on his candidacy or not, and If not it makes no difference with their Intimale family relationship. And that’s that. Children See (ooiidge Quite by accident, the McAdoo children chanced to meet President and Mrs. Coolldge. Their nurse had gone to the White House to see an old friend employed there and they were waiting when Mr. and Mrs. Coolldge learned of their presence. The President railed them in, and so did Mrs. Coolldge. and there was a warm handshaking all round—all except little Mary Faith, laboring under the terrible burden cf three whole years, who didn’t quite understand what it was all about. "You must come back to see us." said Mrs. Coolidge in parting. "Oh, we will," chirped Ellen, who’s 8 And Mary Faith, when pressed, said she supposed she would, too.

Is there anything to the story of pouring oil on troubled waters and quieting them? The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey says that a very small quantity of oil, skillfully applied, may prevent much damage both to ships (especially of the smaller class) and to boats by modifying the action of breaking sas. The explanation of this is that the oil spreads and forms a skim over the water which prevents the waves from breaking. The heaviest and thickest oils are most effective. In cold weather, the oil being thickened by the lower temperature and not being able to spread freely, will have Its effect much reduced. It is useful In a ship or boat, either when running or lying, or in wearing. A small quantity of oil sufflees, if applied in such a manner as to spread to windward. In a surf, or in waves breaking on a bar, where a mass of liquid is in actual motion, In shallow water, the effect of the ot! is uncertain, as nothing can prevent the larger waves from breaking under such circumstances, but, even here it Is of some servioe.

The Key to the Whole Situation

The Same Old Moon BY BERTON BRALEY The moon looks down on you and me And we look upward at the moon; It is the same old, moon we see Beneath which lovers used to spoon, With silly words and tender kisses, In days of Circe and Ulysses. The same old moon is looking down, But all those lovers, where are they? Princess and Prince, milkmaid and clown, "The wind has blown them all away"; They lived and loved, knew woe and laughter. Died —but more lovers followed after! The same moon looks down from above, But. it is up so high and far It see& the lovers making love, Yet can’t distinguish who they are, And thinks that still, the ages through, The same old lovers bill and coo. And if the moon, by chance, could hear, It still would hold the same opinion; For age by age and year by year, In all love’s magical dominion, The words and kisses are the same As when the first pair felt the flame. The same old moon is in the sky. The same thrill in each lover’s breast: Except, of course, that you and J Are different from all the rest! Was it my fancy made me think 1 saw the old moon slyly wink? (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Tnc.)

Astounded at the supposedly bold theft of their heating plant they wondered if the roof was left on their house. But later it was learned that a trucking company had called at the wrong address. A dusky youth was called to the witness stand at Ft. Wayne in city court.

Animal Facts

How any animal cam intrigue a crow into falling prey to him is not understandable, but a fox does it. some times when dinner’-* very late. The shrew, smallest of American animals and taken by most everybody for a mouse, starves to death in six hours without food so fast do the functions of his tiny body work. If he were as big as a lion, he’s eat a steer four times a day. That’s what makes him so fierce in his hunting for mice, bugs .and such. White tail deer have appeared again within a few miles of Washington. Also they come to the very edge of the city limits of New York. Largest meat-eating animal in the world is the brown bear of the Alaska pennlnsula and his very existence was unknown until 1898. He'll run at the sight of man, but when wounded, becomes a terrible antagonist, with his 1,500 pounds of bone and muscle.

Good Roads To the Editor of The Timet I notice In your paper of Nov. 1, that certain farmers in Hendricks County have petitioned to close White Lick Creek road. If some farmers would spend some of their time repairing this road and building good fences to keep their i stock on their own premises, they would be busy for the next few years, instead of chasing over the country getting petitions signed by disinterested parties who do not realize the Injury they are doing other farmers by closing roads. Many of the parties who signed this petition to close White Dick Creek road do not live within one mile of this road and some of them live in town and own farms along this road and have no buildings on their Their land has stood idle for yearn Good roads are a benefit to every” body and good fences make good neighbors. I hope the persons who signed the petition to close this road will read the opinion of those farmers who were benefited by this road. It is commonly known that half of the office holders in the Danville courthouse are related through their ten million step aunt and all their relation are entitled to this benefit; so the public can plainly see what chance a new-comer has.

To the Editor of The Times If Police Chief Rikhoff would have his police watch the handsome men in gray suits instead of suspicious characters, they might catch a few more bandits. Have the authorities enforce the “stop law” signs at cross roads and we would have fewer accidents and the police might get to see more suspicious looking characters. A TIMES READER.
