INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

EjEXLY T. HOTTEU secretary j of the Indianapolis Real Es- ! tate Board, states the city has met its housing shortage. There are approximately 3.000 vacant houses and apartments out of the 125.000 in the city. Before the vrar 2,000 of the 72.000 houses wore usually vacant. So conditions are again normal. The erection of an ordinary house Is rot a conspicuous event—except to the family that will occupy it. Xo corner stone Is laid by illustrious dignitaries wielding silver trowels. New residences may sprout all over town without receiving as much notice as the installation of one pla’e glass front In a downtown pawnshop. Yet evert' new residence is an event of surpassing importance. Hotels, commercial edifices and sky piercing public debts, breaking out all over the business section, give an air of bustling enterprise to a city And impress transients. But real stability and prosperity live In the comfortable frame houses that pquat quietly amid the foliage of residential streets. For where a house is there is a home—a family. And families make communities —instead of civic boarding bouses. Limiteds Ts" 'jllE town council of Carmel recently passed an ordinance requiring the T'nion Traction to stop all ■ s cars—passing through the village— to receive and discharge passengers. The company has petitioned the public service commission to nullify the order. For Carmel is a sched ulel stop for twenty-e:ght of its thir-ty-four daily cars. The others are "limiteds.” Every town wants limited service —and to he one of the props. Although its transportation facilities may already suffice it Isn't additional service the town craves. Only gratification of its pride. And town pride is militant. On* 1 may hur. some e-pithe?s at a hamlet with impunity. But If a stranger calls It a whistling post, or a water tank, the insulted > itizenrv will run him ragged. Those arelighting terms. There are many insignificant burgs in America. But they are on the main line to future greatness, believe their Inhabitants. They are potentially "no mean cities * A*nd town pride makes ’hern so—sometimes. Then “limiteds ’ gladly ■top. State Police r | RESIDENT f. m. m whirI p I TKIt of the Peoples State I * i Bank yesterday was named to head a committee of the Indiana Bankers A■ oelation to work in the next legislature for a State police department. Increasing frequency of bank holdups In Indiana has accelerated the movement. For Hoosier bankers fee! they arc forced to do their daily dozen on the floor too often while bandits loot the asse’s. In 6°ven eastern States, with State police, there wore forty-six hank robberies in three years. While here there were forty-nine— su< ressful or attempted—ln the last two years. Perhaps a State constabulary Is the answer. Dick Turpins afoot or ahorseback were local eruptions. They didn't command large chunks of time and space. An active sheriff, if not frostbitten. caught them before they passed beyond his official horizon. But then crime was leisurely. Now criminals drive “high-powered automobiles." Frequently all local officers can do to suppress them is to gasp: “Here they come! There they go!” And there is no trail but scorched miles. Life has speeded up and Indiana bankers believe fast moving bandits nc checked by fast-moving police systems. Lottery IL FREDERICK E. TAYLOR of the First Baptist Church L. delivered a sermon Sunday evening on “What Kind of a Young Man Does the Modern Girl Want for a Husband." “Don’t marry a man to reform him. Don't think you must marry money.” “Don't go to lunch with your boss.” And other matrimonial don'ts are stressed. All good wholesome advice. The divorce courts would be full of aching void if the admonitions were followed. But marriages don't spring from copybook maxims. Irresistible impulse, not congealed reason, push young people's necks beneath the yoke. When they reach the state of emotional frenzy that the world swims in a luminous haze they are impervious to advice. The selection of a .husband is risky. For very few prospective husbands have all the virtues tagging around with them. Some are bandits end others merely frames for clothes. But if an average young man Is analyzed in a test tube he will yield a residue of character and manhood. A husband is a lottery. But the winning numbers exceed the blanks.

SIOO EVERY DAY Here’s Limerick Larrv Righ on the Job With More Prizes for Best ‘Lost Lines’—Let’s All Get Busy,

Bv LIMERICK LARKY. -THAT. WE CERTAINLY opened this Limerick season with a iJ ban Monday. Everybody in Indianapolis and vicinity must have been waitimr, all primed, to take a crack at that first “Lost-Line” Limerick with its SIOO in cash awards. By Monday night, most of the population had the Limerick hucr just as had as 1 have. The only difference being that 1 give SIOO a day away and you get SIOO a day. This is surely one “Lost-Line” writing cit.v. Ilow these Hoosiers did pound out those “Lost-Lines.” No wonder with that SSO first award for inspiration. Just wait until Mayor Lew Shank reads some of those lines when the winners are announced next Monday. But now we come down to another day. And another SIOO which is more important. Because don't forget that I'm giving away SIOO EACH DAY for a lot of days to come. Plenty to Work On That’s why you should start at once getting the hang of writing “Lost-Lines” because if you don’t win an award on fine Limerick, there’s plenty more coming. I’m chock full of my four-line jingles, and my pocketbnok is bursting with cash that I’ve got to get rid of in return for snappy “Lost-Lines.” Here's a little inside tip on how to cash in on two Limericks at the same 1 ime. If you didn’t send in any answers on Limerick No. 1 Monday. get a Monday's copy of The Times and send some in now at tin same time when y -u dash off your lines for Limerick No. 2 of today. You've got until Wednesday night to get your answers in oil both Limericks, so take plenty of time, make your lines as original as possible and send in as many as you can dope out. Doesn t that SSO in gold first award bring any bright thoughts into your mind? Just think of all the things for which SSO would come in handy right now. then sharpen up the old lead pencil, think up a bunch of rhyme words to correspond with the first two lines of the Limerick and then strut your Limerick stuff and shoot them into me. Don't Forget Second Prize And then that second award of sls each day on each Limerick isn’t anything to be sneezed at. And if any of us saw in the gutter one of those three $5 bills which go daily to three other lines, we'd at b ast lake the energy to stoop over and pick it up. Writing Limerick “Lost-Lines” doesn’t involve much more work and is a lot of fun Then finally, don’t forget the twenty (Turn to I‘age 2>
