THE MARKET CONTROVERSY HERE is considerable good sense in tjie contention of the I 1 Indianapolis market commission that the city should erect anew market house and hall to supplant the present structures instead of repairing them. The commission has worked out an arrangement whereby it believes the proposed new building would pay for itself in forty years. The financial side of the arrangement, of course, would have to be worked out in minute detail, but on the surface it sounds reasonable. It is too much to expect that, regardless of how much money is spent on improvements —and the city proposes to spend nearly $200,000 —the old buildings could be made into a modern and satisfactory plant. , Another consideration in favor of the plan of the commission is the proposed new assembly hall, which, according to plans, would seat 10,000 persons. The city, everyone is agreed, needs just such a halL Tomlinson Hall does not fill the bilL There seems to be no immediate prospect of having a downtown coliseum of which Indianapolis has dreamed so long, unless something along the line of the suggestions of the commission is done. At any rate, the city council should study carefully the proposals of the commission before it plunges into an expensive program of improvement.

WHEELER ON TRIAL IHOEGH fully exonerated of any wrongdoing by a bipartisan Senate committee. Senator Burton K. THieeler of Montana is shortly to be tried on charges brought by the Department of Justice. Wheeler, though now candidate for Tice President on the Progressive ticket, will be defended in court by a Democrat, Senator Thomas J. Walsh. Another of Wheeler's defenders is the most able Republican in the Senate, William E. Borah. Senators Walsh and Borah have examined with minute care the record of the Wheeler indictment. Borah was the chairman of the Senate committee which investigated the charges against Wheeler and the means whereby the indictment had been obtained. It so happens that the Progressive candidate for Vice President thus finds his long list of defenders headed by the two men who were most urgently begged to become the vice presidential candidates on the Democratic and Republican tickets respectively. Borah, beseeched by the Republicans to run with Coolidge, reported “the committee wholly exonerates Wheeler.” In conversation Borah said it made him “positively sick” to think of the depths to which the Republican party had stooped to obtain the indictment. Walsh, on whom the Democrats almost forced the vice presidential nomination, reported that “the indictment was obtained solely in order to hamper Wheeler in his investigation of the Department of Justice.’’ It is not Wheeler, it is the Republican party that faces trial in Montana. That party obtained the indictment, and yet it was not courageous enough to confess its error even when exposed by the man it attempted tv use to bolster up its national ticket. ,

IT CANNOT BE JUB your weary eyes and read. Later you may scratch your head in perplexity, if so inclined. Knoxville, Tenn., recently startled the country by declaring a dividend of 10 per cent to taxpayers. Now a city official of that same town has asked to have his salary cut for the second time! "Whew! Can you beat it? But there isn’t—there cannot be—any such place as Knoxville, Tenn. It is the figment of a dream. It is a myth. It Is Mars signaling. Dividends to taxpayers! City official demanding two cuts of his salary! The wildest imagination can conceive nothing like that. HER HUSBAND \Y/ °^ ten wondered how it must seem to be the husband * * of a celebrity. We must even confess we’ve wondered particularly about Dr. Rinehart, husband of the famous Mary Roberts Rinehart, novelist, playright, short-story writer and indorser of many royalty checks for the same. That’s why we got rather a kick out of a recent review in medical columns of a book called, “The Commonsense of Health, ’’ by Dr. S. Rinehart. Says the reviewer. “He writes about all the familiar plagues and problems of the body—from catching cold to cancer; nor is their any trace of sickroom smirk nor of professional \ strut in the way he does it. His style, in fact, is colored with a . richness of literary allusion * * • ” N And who is this Dr. Rinehart 1 “Dr. Rinehart, now known to the medical world as a specialist in tubercular trouble, took his degree at the Allgemeine Krankenhaus, Vienna. He began his medical practice in Pittsburgh, where in 1896, he married a trained nurse, Mary Roberts. “During the war, he was in charge of the tuberculosis work at Camp Sherman, and afterward of all the United States Army tuberculosis hospitals. This is his first book, but he once helped to write a play, ‘The Avenger,’ which was published in 1908.” There you are. It’s a sermon in itself on how to be happily married, though famous. “FOLLOW YOUR nose” must have been the inspired admonition of some hay fever addict. THIS SHOULD be a healthy age.

HERE IS A CHART OF THE SKIES It Will Help You Find Constellations of Summer Heavens, By DAVID DIETZ, Science Editor of The Times. ,y r| E have now surveyed all of yy the principal constellations to be seen in the night sky of summer.

pied the attention of men for thousands of years. A sky map is printed in the accompanying illustration to aid you in finding the various constellations. Due to the fact that the earth rotates on its axis and revolves about the sun, the sky does not appear stationary. The stars appear to rotate about the imaginary celestial sphere, and they seem to gain four minutes in their journey each night. We have already discussed the reason for this. Accordingly, a sky map must specify both the time and the day a*, which it represents the stars. This map represents the appaaranpe of the sky at approximately 8 o’clock tonight. In order to see the stars on the map as the stars actually are In the sky, face north and hold the map over your head, with the part of the map marked ’‘north” held toward the north As we have said before, the appearance of the sky changes with the seasons, due to the fact that the stars which are above the horizon at night during one season will be above the horizon in the daytime in other seasons. Consequently, nojr that you have gro-wn to know the stars, you will be interested in watching the seasonal change in the sky as well as upon the earth about you. As summer begins to disappear and the leaves turn red and golden with the coming of autumn, so will the summer constellations begin to disappear from the sky and the autumn constellations rise to take their place. I am sure that you will want to know the autumn constellations when they arrive and so I will have something to say about them later on. Meanwhile, I hope you will enjoy to their utmost the beauty of the summer constellations. Bryant, the American poet, sang the beauty of the stars when he wrote: Glide on in your beauty, ye youthful spheres. To weave the dance that measures the years; Glide on, in the glory and gladness sent To the furthest . wail of the firmament— The boundless visible smile of Him To the veil of whose brow your lamps are dim. .

Tongue Tips Dr. Henry Van Dyke: “How dangerous it is to develop a good mind without regard to what it shall be used for." Cyrus Dallin, sculptor: “Where you see billboards defacing highway views, it simply means the people of that locality haven’t been educated to appreciate beauty.” The Rev. Allan, chaplain Leafvenworth prison: “Fifty p4r cent of the men and women behind the bars today are there because of habit-forming drugs. And the drug criminal is the worst criminal in prison. Once a drug addict, always a drug addict.” Dr. Raymond Pearl, biometrist biologist, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore: “Native American stock in the United States is on the increase and indications are that the maximum population of this country, estimated at 197,274,000 in 2100, will be more distinctly of American stock than the United States of today.” Well, What Does it? It was a villager who sent a note to the doctor, saying: “Please send me some fizzic for a headache.” Next time they met the doctor said, “F-i-z-z-i-c doesn’t spell physic, you know.” “Well, what does it spell, then?” asked the villager. The doctor gave it up.T-Pearson's.

End of a Thrill By HAL COCHRAN It’s nice to look forward to vacating time and it’s bully to plan on a rest. You need recreation when hot is the clime ’cause a loaf gives you back used up zest. The day that you start on your week or two trip is like shootin’ the chutes, one might say. Your mind is at ease and it’s dippin’ the dip, like a youngster of 5 at its play. You start.at the top of the vacation ride and you skim through the air, downward bound. The world at its best is just casually eyed as the trip takes you ’round and around. Os course you hang on as you’re spinning through space for you know that the ride will be short. You’re takin’ no chances on losin’ your place in the wonderful vacation sport. And then, one more curve and you feel your ride jerk and the ending just gives you a spill. You fall down through space and you land back at work. It’s the end of a wonderful thrill.

Science Plans for power, water, etc., for cities cannot safely be made for a period of over twenty five years, according to a modern engineering authority. The reason is that science is making such rapid advances that a plan that looks like the most efficient that could be devised may be entirely obsolete before the twentyfive years is ended. Therefore, a citv should not be saddled with an expense of many millions for something that may be ousted in a few years. Scientists*now believe that use if the sun’s energy is more likely than anything else to be the answer to the problem of power, heat and so on. It may even be used to solve the problem of water supply in cities and agricultural regions that are in semi-arid districts, for it may be used to operate devices that extract the salt from sea water. Marcel Moreau, a French invent >r of San Francisco, has obtained heat from the sun sufficient to melt steel. His device consists of twentytwo mirrors and twenty-three magnifying glasses. All, of the sun’srays collect are focussed on a spot just under the central mirrror where they, are concentrated. This shows great power possibilities. Nature Nature does amazing things in Anstralia.

SHOCKLESS AUTOS ARE IN MAKING Car That Will Cure Fatigue Is Ideal of Engineers, By ISRAEL KLEIN NEA Service Writer If autos, as som > say, have made nervous wrecks of us, automobile engineers are tryi.ig to cure us. At least they’re concentrating on a means to prevent our going further td the dogs. Their plan for our redemption lies in designing a car that will be really comfortable, vibrationless, shockless, smooth, silent and secure —hallelujah! Spring suspension has been studied most assiduously, but that is only part of the program to help settle our nerves. Besides “springing,” as engineers term it, other factors that make for comfort in riding are accessory control, tires, wheels, chassis frame, seating, body, engine and transmission, steering gear, brakes, heating and ventilation system and even lighting. How heating, ventilation and lighting, or even some of the other factors mentioned, have anything to do with riding comfort and nerves may be beyond the lay mind to understand. But engineers maintain that improper vision affects the comfort of motori.’ts, especially the driver, that a stuffy car slumps their bodies and that lack of proper ventilation might make them dizzy. Includes Everything So they must direct their attention not only to better springs, but to better headlights and better body design. Not only that, buUthey have their eyes on the engine and brakes and almost every other part of the car, eten to the dash board, to make riding easier and more comfortable. The question of mental and nervous fatigue offers quite a problem to the engineers. To study it effectively they are beginning with research * imo the actual niotiors of an automobile. These are vertical, longitudinal and transverse. "According to general belief.” says John A. C. Warner, assistant manager of the research department of the Society of Automotive Engineers, “the vertical accelerations are responsible for the greatest drg’- PP of discomfort and fatigue. It is possible, however, that the change of acceleration and its duration rather than acceleration .rself may be most important. Sm<x>tliiiig Bumps "Verical accelrations caused by Irregularities of road surface or otherwise are felt by the passenger as pressures, the characteristics of which depend upon the type and duration of the acceleration. “Closely related to the straight vertical motions and perhaps equally severe in their effect are those due to pitching or rotation of the vehicle about a transverse axis.” Horizontal motion, that is, the motion of the car as it moves forward or backward, has comparatively little effect on the passengers —except when a driver slams on the brakes nr starts with a jerk. Yet the engineers have that to study in Its relation to striking obstacles along the road. Several methods are employed in studying these points related to riding comfort. All seek the same goal. % .

In New York By STEVE HANNIGAN NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Schoolboys who missed many a baseball game and trip to the ol’ swimmin’ hole in boyhood because they were forced to practice music lessons, are reaping rich harvests today. Music pays. Still boys who have a bent for music are bullied and teased by other boys. Mischa Levitski, Russo-American pianist now in New York, offers an interesting observation. “We used to think that the wristwatch was a mark of effeminate taste,” he says, “and if a man appeared in a street ca r or subway wearing one he was immediately the cause of undisguised merriment. The war proved the wrist-watch a convenience and the national attitude changed. “But music? The American attitude has a long way to go before it will find Itself In the good graces assumed by the wrist-watch. Music, according to the average business man who has a smattering of culture. Is for women. “We've progressed far enough to believe that the wrist that holds the wrist-watch may have a terrific punch behind it, but that the same wrist may help to interpret the works of great masters and retain its strength—that is a matter for doubt. “Music just isn’t considered | a virile occupation for a college man in this country."

Sets Example V\ Tv. • - Mrs. C. T. Yang, a Manchu lady of old nobility, has set anew style —not a whim of luxury, but a necessity born of poverty. For centuries Manchu women shopped discreetly in their own courtyards, paying a higher price. But with money hard to get, Mrs. Yang startled her social set by bargaining in the public markets, carrying a bag of coppers. Now others are following her economical example. .

That’s What Makes ’Em Wild

SAP BUCKET FIGURES IN CAMPAIGN Strange Turns of Previous Contests Are Recalled, Times Washington Bureau. IM2 .Vote York Are. rrrj ASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—1 t is \Y/ still too early to determine which will play the more important part in the 1924 ampaign—a sap bucket or a tar pail. But if the present contest for the White House follows the trail of many of its predecessors, either may become a big vote-swaying issue. No sooner had Coolidge presented Ford with a sap bucket than writers and cartoonists, both those opposed to the President and those supporting his candidacy, made use of the incident in articles and illustrations. Candidate Davis’ challenge to Coolidge on the Klan, in which Davis followed in La Follette’s footsteps, may readily lead to the evolution of the sap bucket into a pail of hot tar —at least on the part of "enemy” cartoonists. Ever since the party system became well established in American politics a century ago minor incidents have grown into great issues in almost all campaigns.

Billiard Table Issue One of the earliest examples was that which occurred during John Quincy Adams’ attempt to stay in the White House in 1828. It developed during that campaign, when Jackson and Adams- were giving the country a real treat in the way of fiery recriminations, that among the White House furnishings there was a billiard table. A shocked country heard of this with amazement. Adams was charged with misappropriating public funds, with wasting Government money on amusements and with setting a bad example for the youth of the Nation. That the charge was seriously hurting the Adams campaign was admitted by the President’s managers. who attempted to explain that the table had been placed in the White House without Adams’ knowledge. and that he had not played on it. Furthermore, the table, disappeared from the White House. Patch Important Another little matter which grew into ah issue of national importance was the 50-cent trouser patch which Governor William L. Marcy of New York included in his expense account. Marcy’s regime as Governor, from 1832 to 1838, had been marked, so his opponents claimed, by great extravagance in the use of public money. On a trip away from Albany Marcy tore his trousers in getting off a train. He paid 50 cents for repairs, and on his return to the capital entered this item on his voucher. His opponents took the position that the State was not obliged to buy the Governor’s clothes, nor to keep them in repair, and cited this as a typical example of the Governor’s misuse of State funds. Though cartoons w r ere used only in a limited degree at that early date, effective use was made of the patch on Marcy’s trousers throughout the campaign, in which Marcy lost out. The ill-fated Governor later returned to favor, and served as secretary of State from 1553 to 1857 under Franklin Pierce. Log Cabin Familiar The “log cabin” issue is perhaps more generally remembered. It first entered into national politics in the campaign of 1840, when opponents of Harrison, hoping to point out his shortcomings, scornfully called attention to the fact that the general lived in a log cabin and spent his time drinking cider. Harrison’s friends took up the erv, distributed handbills with pictures of the cabin and its cider keg, and by keeping the matter before the pub lie, used the original charge in such a way as to make it the most pronounced "boomerang” in the history of national campaigns.
