——CARLET paint was smeared C on buildings and walks of De Pauw University at Greeneasile Thursday night. It will cost S 1,000 or more to remove the daubs. Os course the act was pure vandalism. And senseless. It was prompted, though, not by malicious desire to mar or destroy. Today tiie traditional rivals —De Pauw University and Wabash College—meet in their annual football game. And some partisan prematurely boiled over and splashed red paint on the De Pauw campus Thursday night. We may smile at the intensity of a student over the outcome of a football game. We marvel at the depths to v hioh a defeat plunges him. And deprecate the destructive vandalism that college rivalries provoke. But there is something back of it all. Colleges educate. But education can be sec::" ! by correspondence However, colleges do more than that. The tradition and spirit of the campus is a living heritage to every student. For there is bred unselfish loyalty and affection. Forces which move the world. college ttadltions are worthy of preservation. But not necessarily In red paint. Poultry OL COIIX. S. Meridian St. Ii poultry dealer, lost about five I ' hundred chickens and geese the other night. Burglars kidnaped them. Thanksgiving approaches and poultry is in demand. The normal reaction on hearing of his loss is to smile Involuntarily. For. through a queer quirk of psychology, chicken theft is associated mentally with humor, not crime. It has become standard equipment with jokesmiths. The story of a hen roost robbery provokes mirth—l.ke a banana peel. Xo boy feels he lias really lived until he has participated in one foray against a neighboring poultry yard. And has cooked a fowl over an open fire. Usually the blaze only chars the surface without moderating th“ chill of dea'h in the bird’s interior. So that eager, boyish teeth can scarcely dent the carcass. But the experience is delicious. Men who would explore in wrath r.nd apoplexy if the honesty of the r lives was questioned remember anil recount with glee such youthful es ea pa des. for somehow poultry has never taken on more than a thin veneer of civllzation. Despite its domesticity, it is still classed as wild game Lawmakers Bs2T'j HE membership of the next | I J legislature will include foriyL. I five farmers and thirty-five lawyers. With the other twentyfour occupations listed on the roster hopelessly trailing. “A Hoosier lad who would be a statesman has his course mapped out. He can stay on the farm or study law. In either event he may ctnrrr—or be elected State Senator. With power to repeal the laws of nature. If a drought shrivels up the landscape. if the wheat market swoons, if there is an epidemic of red-headed babies in Posey County, the lawmakers are importuned to do something. But attorneys, farmers and the rr-'n of other vocations in any Legislature are ordinary men with the average outlook on life and its problems. They are fairly representative of the citizenship that elects them. They do their best to serve intelligently and faithfully. But they are not supermen. And legislative panaceas to cure all economic and social ills turn out to be mostly harmless broad pills. Work ARE KRUGER. E. Thirtieth S’t., wanted his wife to stay home. She insisted on work ing in t store. So a couple of days ago—after following her to her place of employment—he swallowed poison tablets. And another belated protest against the woman in business is registered. Man has ever cherished delusions of grandeur. The role of provider has nourished his vanity. So long as his mate remained chained to the greasy hearth the caveman could pretend, when he sallied forth, he went to slay dragons in order to bring home hunks of rawmeat. A pretty fiction that he has tried to keep alive in his Journey from prehistoric caves to apartment houses. So he hasn't encouraged woman to wipe the dishwater from her hands and grasp a slippery cash Income. But she now earns a livelihood without men of her family—evn to second cousins—being rated ne'er-do-wells. Still there is occasionally a man—who believes that vocation is determined by sex. Who w-ould rather die than see his wife work —for money. Some times he does expire. Then she has to work—or starve.

Motor Cops They Are Supposed to Catch Speeders, but't Can't Be Done on Foot —Money Gone,

TANARUS" "|HE motorcycle division of the police department is near demoralization today because: It's broke. Five of its thirteen men are on the disabled list from injuries. Out of thirteen machines, only eight are fast enough and only five of these Rood machines are in working order. And there s no money to repair them. Its joh is to watch the speed of automobiles without motorcycles. ’ And for the first six months this year 0.510 licenses were issued in Marion County for pleasure cars and 10,632 for trucks. Four of the motorcycles are out of repair—need new handle bars, new parts. And there's no money to pay for the repairs. Only hope is that Mayor Shank on Monday will sign an ordinance, authorizing the transfer of SI,OOO to the division from the electrical department. Shank has been out of the city and has delayed the authorization of the much-needed money. Lieut. Earl Halstead states th motorcycle division needs twenty men to cover the city properly.

Already there have been anxious consultations between departments located on the same floor as the legislative halls. “Can we move in with you?” “Xo! They’re shoving us out of our threo office rooms into that comer over there. We got to hang our desks out of the window, as it is and there isn't going to be any place even for the water cooler.” The Supreme and Appellatecourt judges alone maintain t’neli quarters against, the oncoming horde of legislators.

Operators Want Power Vested in Highway Body Traction Men Argue for Public Service Board Regulation Certain. BLOOMINGTON SENATOR HAS BILL READY TO INTRODUCE Indiana Chamber of Commerce Plans Impartial Study of Problem to Protect Best Interest of Public Committee Is Named. Shall motor bus traffic regulation be placed under the jurisdiction of the public service commission or of the State highway commission? This question is an issue which will be fought out m the next General Assembly. Both bus operators and those opposed to them desire bus legislation. Motor bus companies object to being placed under the public service commission, charging that body is dominated by traction and railroad interests.

According to Tod C. Brown, secretary of the Motor Bus Operators of Indiana pedis, motor transportation ciunp.ini* s are fighting to be placed under the State highway commission on the ground they use public roads and State highways exclusively. Powerful lobbies are being formed. Busses in Infancy Motor bus transportation is in its Infancy, according to G. 11. Mosser. general secretary of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and questions arising as to regulation are numberless, similar to those which faced the interurban companies when they first invaded the field of the railroads. Among questions arising, according to Mosser, is interstate bus transportation, both passenger and freight. Another question is dual control of companies like the Interstate Public Service Corporation, which operates both traction and bus lines. Should busses be placed under the State highway commission, this company would be under Jurisdiction of two state commissions. Joseph A. McGowan . secretarytrt. *:rer of the T. H.. T. ,1- E. Traction Company, declared busses should be placed under the public service commission. Problem Is Studied The Indiana Chamber of Commerce has named A. M. Glosbrenn< r, Indianapolis, as chairman of a committee to be named next week, to survey bus transportation business and to report on legislation. Public interest will be regarded as paramount by this committee. Mossier said in nearly all States where bus traffic* regulation has been placed under the public service commission. He said traffic experts contend this is the proper body. In a recent public safety council called by Governor Emmett F. Branch at the Statehouse. resolutions were adopted over protest of delegates from bus transportation companies, to place regulation under control of the service commission. Payne Has Bill State Senator-Elect Earl W. Payne, Bloomington. Democrat, declared today he would introduce a bill for its control by the public service commission. A bill introduced In the last session of the Legislature passed the Senate, but was defeated in the House during the last week of the session. “Busses, without a doubt, are and will be a big factor in Hoosier traffic problems,” Payne said, "and I believe there are too many bus lines operating for the best interests of the public.” “I would favor giving one large company a franchise to operate over such routes as Bloomington, Martinsville, Indianapolis, allowing the company to charge $2 instead of $1.50 and compelling it to give much better service.” HOMILY TEMPERATURE 6 a. m 39 10 a. m 39 7 a. m.. ..

also had his own protective sources within the police praesidium, but the most remarkable factor about him was his easy access to the Prussian State Bank, which lent him, on flimsy or nonexistent securities, at least twenty million gold marks, some of which Kutisker lent out at exorbitant interest.

The scandal is likely to cause removal of the socialist police president. Richter, who, while apparently honest, seems not to have been extremely efficient. When the Reichstag convenes after the elections, the whole affair is likely to be discussed, with the prospect of involving prominent politicians and office hold ers in the shady dealings. Meanwhile the Prussian state finance minister has ordered the stricteet investigation of the state bank.
