ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER ONEASY LIES the head of a President who also is a candidate. In other words, life is becoming just one dern thing after another for Calvin Coolidge. In the first place his secretary of the Navy refuses to stay put. Secretary Wilbur, according to a statement by Senator Caraway, which has not been denied, planned to express in Denver his approval of the League of Nations.. Whereupon the President found it necessary to recall Wilbur to Washington on pressing business before he had an opportunity to speak his mind. So pressing was the business that the Cabinet member made part of the trip by airplane and a train was held for him. Now, right on top of this annoying circumstance, the Law Enforcement League of Philadelphia has called on the President ;o settle a squabble between Mayor Kendrick and General Butler, who is acting as the head of the police department. The mayor threatens to fire the general. The league is protesting. The President will be condemned if he attempts to settle it either way or if he takes no part in it at all. Truly, life is just one thing after another for Calvin. WORLD OWES DEBT TO WILSON “Truth crushed to earth shall rise again: The eternal years of God are hers." OLL THAT was mortal of Woodrow WilsoiJ has returned to dust, crushed under the hobnails of an unscrupulous foe. But his immortal ideal of world peace goes marching triumphantly on. The League of Nations, founded by the great American, .is just concluding its annual session at Geneva, the most successful and the most virile in its history. The torch that was torn from his dying hand and flung down by Henry Cabot Lodge and his stupid zealots, was caught up by Edouard Benes, the Ramsay MacDonalds, the Edouard Herriots and the other lovers of mankind, and not left to sputter and go out in the mud where Lodge threw it. “The most embittered opponent of the league must today admit,” says P. W. Wilson, an English observor, “that at Geneva the Parliament of Man foreseen by Tennyson, is here and is now legislating for the end of war. “With France and Britain acting together the league is unlikely to fail. Its suAess means a turning point in the history of mankind, for it aims at nothing less than that war is to be outlawed and that aggress'ive war is to be restrained by force. “It is no wonder that at Geneva the hotels are crowded and the halls of the league packed with spectators of a drama so momentous —spectators among whom are thousands of Americans.” After a detailed survey of this, one of the most important conclaves in the entire history of civilization, the British critic ends with this pointed observation: “It is impossible to conclude wtihout a reference to the fact that at Geneva the United States has no seat. From so great a transaction she is an absentee. “It was her Army, her Navy, that helped to break down the military system in Europe. It was her President, Woodrow Wilson, whose idealism, as it was then regarded, has, within five years, proved to be the only practical statesmanship. “It is to Woodrow Wilson that the Old World will owe its renewal and the New World its security.”

SHOCKING, BUT PROFITABLE Ky/ HOLE shiploads of German, French, Italian and Japanese Imakes of rifles, machine gufis, artillery, airplanes and even armored ears are being delivered to the various armies at war in China, with John Bull and Uncle Sam on the sidelines protesting that it is a great tvrong. It seems that John and Uncle are about the only ones tvith a “national conscience.” To be sure, Sam’s conscience backslid, a while since, in respect of arming Mexicans, but he has evidently reformed. How long that fine old tradesman, John Bull, will pass up the splendid Chinese war profit is to be seen. ALL ABOARD for Clay Center, Kansas. Shaves 15c, haircuts 25c. No bobs to interfere. Clay Center is Normalcy. THE CHINESE war is all pi lines for the intelligent linotype operator et al., as we say in the law offices. POLITICIANS SAY the campaign is moving slowly and it may be due to the quality instead of the quantity of the gas, THOSE JAZZISTS who were expelled from France say they have no place to go, which is probably true insofar as this earth is concerned. WITH THEIR laundrynien all over here, we can easily understand why those Chinamen dislike to get their clothes all messy by fighting in the rain. A GERMAN scientist insists that he saw something awful happening on Mars—so awful that he doesn’t want to talk about it yet. Probably the opening of the Martian football season.

Life Saver

urTT" M’NEIL, Jockmaster K of the city pier in New York, is a champ life saver. It is estimated he has rescued some 200 people, said rescues ranging from accident to attempted suicide. He has medals galore, one of them a diamond one given him by the city of New York. His greatest feat was rescuing two men from under a swiftly moving paddle-wheel of a ferry boat.

Unsigned requests cannot be answered. All letters are confidential.—Editor. What are the fastest growing shade trees? Poplars, willows and aspens. Why does milk in coffee placed in thermos bottles curdle? Because milk sours -at a high temperature, or if kept even moderately warm. When put in a cup of coffe? the milk is not allowed to stand long enough to be affected, by the warmth of the coffe", but in a thermos bottle, it is generally held some time. If coffee is taken on a picnic, the cream or milk should be kept in a separate container, as it will Invariably sour if put in the coffee. What is the best kind of food for goldfish?

Crumble It up and put In the water, then feed each fish a little meat three or four times a week—not much, but just enough (o put on the end of a penknife, and chopped very fine. Do not give them pork, however. During the summer feed each of them three or four dead flies each day. Can beos c-et enough poison into honey to kill a person? It is possible but not probable. Therp have been a few such cases, where the bee has sipped poison nectar, but such cases are very rare. What will cause a brick of ice cream to shrink in volume? If the brick has been continuously in a frozen condition and has not been crushed there should be no noticeable shrinkage in volume. If the ice cream has melted, partially or completely, some of the air or carbonic acid gas incorporated in the frozen product would escape with a consequent shrinkage in volume; a similar shrinkage may be brought about by mechanical manipulation which forces out some of the included air or gas.

Pete, the porter, has an atvful bump on his head because, when he stopped to tie his shoe, he forgot to stick out his hand to warn traffic. A man in the end chair this morning told about a deaf and dumb girl who worked three weeks as a telephone operator before -he was found out. Blondy the manicure ran into a telephone pole on her way to w'ork while trying to figger out whether or not a cross-eyed man was trying to flirt with her. One lunch counter combination I never could learn to relish is spinach and gravel. Next! Nature Professor Von Luschan, Germany’s greatest student of man—anthropology—has demonstrated to the satisfaction of science that, in mixed populations, the original human types w r ill continue to appear century after century, instead of all individuals being presently leveled to a uniform blend. For instance, when round-headed people mix with longheaded, many medium heads -will result, but long heads and round heads wijl continue to appear, probably forever. Sahara desert, not much north of the equator, has been so often represented as a fiery furnace that foreigners perched on their camel’s humps are amazed to find themselves numb with cold on mornings between November and March.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Under Miss Indiana’s Torch I By GAYLORD NELSON Heart cripple boy, was attending a i movie. Outside was his bat- | lered pushmolpile. It was stolen. It wasn't much of a loss —in money. But to Nick it was a calamity. It was his only means of conveyance. And Nick is poor. To him the loss of the old pushmobile was more serious than the loss of a RollsRoyce would be to some. Disconsolate, he wrote a letter to Chief RikI hoff recounting his loss. That letter was printed in The Indianapolis Times. Yesterday Nick received a velocipede—a finer vehicle than he ever dreamed of owning. And a dozen more velocipedes and pushmobiles were offered for him. At the same time of Nick’s misfortune, six small, dirty children were abondoned by a drunken father, and were taken in charge by the juvenile court authorities. The story found its way into the papers. And dozens of good homes —where j big, maternal hearts will give them all the love and attention possible—have been offered for the children. Does a city have a heart? Ask Nick Matesick and the Lynn children. They know that Indianapolis has a heart that is easily touched and quickly responds to the call of the needy and afflicted, when the appeal is made. They know that fairy tales come true. T>r. Crash is a dentist on \V. Washington St. Ouch! Doctors ONIGHT, in Cadle Tabernacle, hoary tradition gets another j jolt. For there the Indiana Medical As- ■ sociation, now convening, will hold j a health session, to which the pub- I lie is Invited. Wouldn't the old time practitioner shudder at the thought of discussing i professional topics before an audience of laymen? The old physician was secretive, j He permitted the layman to know nothing of medical practice except to open his mouth and swallow upon j command. He even screened himself from the public behind a thicket ■ of whiskers. Often, despite this exaggerated! sense of professional secrecy, the only preparation he had for the practice of medicine was a barrel of ealo-1 mel and a rusty frock coat —with a j sprinkling of dandruff. The modern doctor has come out ! into the open, both professionally j and facially. 11° no longer avoids discussion of’ medical subjects in public. Not that j he seeks publicity. But he realizes j that the wide dissemination of health knowledge and medical progress is good for both physician and layman. He has found that it doesn't hurt his practice to deal openly and frankly with the general public in open meetings. ctf course he makes mistakes and buries them, just as the old timer did. But exaggerated professional secretiveness is not one of his mistakes. Albert Jennings, 824 W. TwentyFifth St., went to sleep in rity ! court. Yes, some go there to sleep and some to lie. Deceased With his passing Indian- j apolis loses one of its out standing figures; a man who not i only achieved a phenomenal success in his private business but one who contributed much to the upbuilding of the city. His business career In this city began in ISSS when ho, together with Daniel W. Marmon, formed the small and struggling Marmon-Perry Electric Company. At his death he was president of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company, a dominant factor iu the public utility field. His success was not an accident, achieved by spectacular coups or lucky plunges, but resulted from the steady application of the old copy book precepts: honesty, hard work, and square dealing. To Mr. Perry these unfashionable precepts were the ideals and actual daily guides during forty years of active business life. Rugged honesty, hard work and square dealing are not spectacular. But on them is built enduring success. Horatio Alger, In his books for boys, would tell the story of the poor messenger boy, who by steady application, truth, and unswerving honest became president of the bank. The career of Charles C. Perry was an Alger story In real life. For he, too, attained success not by short cuts, but by character. Terre Haute man, 94, takes bride, 64.

CANDIDATES DRAW BIG A UDIENCES Many Pay to Hear Candidates of Third Party, Times Washington Bureau, 1322 yew York Ave. TYra VSHINGTON, Sept. 25.—The j VX/ campaign fund of the ProgU__J ressive party is being considerably enhanced by receipts from the sale of tickets at meetings where La Follette and Wheeler are making campaign addresses, according to reports reaching La Follette headquarters here. When Senator La Follette addressed a packed house at Madison Square Garden, New York, ho spoke to 3,168 people who had paid $2,20 each to hear him, 1,640 people who paid $1.65, and 836 people who paid sl.lO and more than 2,000 who paid 55 cents. Altogether almost $12,000 was collected. In addition there weie seats for 7,000, for which no charge was made. The seats placed on sale a week before the Senator's scheduled address were all sold out a day before the speech. S. R. O. Sign Appears From cities farther West where Wheeler Is drawing capacity crowds reports of a similar nature are being received. The usual price of admission to the Wheeler meetings is 50 cents. Frequently the standing-room-only sign has made its appearance at these meetings-despite the w i unusual practice of collecting funds i to hear a political speech. The success of La Follette and Wheeler in collating hard cash from voters who are interested in hearing their message, is being contrasted here * with President Cool-i idge's , recent experience in obtain-I ing a Labor Day audience of "labor leaders." Expenses Paid On that historic occasion, the ex- i penses of the spurious “labor leaders” to and from Washington were underwritten by friends and political | appointees of the President, notably T. V. O’Connor, chairman of the [ shipping board. Free lunch was provided at tile White House, i The Progressive party is obtain- ! ing almost all its funds with which j to conduct the campaign in very small contributions. Over 70 per cent of all contributions to date have been for one dallor, while nv-st of the remainder have varied from Ji to $lO. By thus financing its campaign, the Progressive party intends to re-i ; main entirely free from obligations i to “Big Business." which usually j finances the campaigns of both the ' Republican and Democratic parties and then demands special consid- ra- > tions in the way of favorable !■ gelation.

If every night was a moonlight night there would be uo bachelors. Time cures everything except whiskers. Home is any place you hang your hat where you please.

Now Comes Enlightenment

Know Indiana What was the forerunner of the National road? In 1804 a memorial was presented to Congress asking construction of a post road from Dayton, Ohio, to Vincennes. The purpose was to extend it to St. Louis, thus connecting the capitols of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. What was "Hines’ raid” on Indiana soil? Thomas H. Hines, leader of a small force of Confederate cavalry, started a plundering party in June, 1883, from Kentucky. He had advanced only a few miles until Union Troops closed in on the force as It attempted to cross the river again to Kentucky. How much did Congress allow for damages by Morgan's raid? Ten counties were given $413,599.48. Marion County got sl.661.97.

Covers By HAL COCHRAN When the night time arrives and the kids go to bed, you will tuck them away, good and tight. The ol* sandman hovers around by the covers as little ones bid you good-night. They’re resting once more as you near close the door, and you tell them to get a good sleep. They fuss like the dickens; your nervousness quickens. Then, finally, there isn't a peep. Then mother and dad are at ease for a spell. There’s really some rest to be had. Retirement of youngsters the home noise will quell, and the solitude makes you feel glad. Then, after a while, it's your own bedtime, too, and you quietly start to turn in. And then you will peek, it’s the last thing you do, just to see how the youngsters have 4Sfc r n. The scene is the' same and just habit's to blame: the covers are most on the ground. When the tots are asleep. Just why is it they keep always kicking the bedclothing down?
