If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.—Ps. 139:9, 10. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.—Bible. Here Is a Real Idea JHAIRMAN O’CONNOR of the United _____ States shipping board seems to have thrown a constructive idea in the welter of scheming that has marked consideration of our merchant marine problem. It remains to be seen how it will be taken. Briefly, O’Connor proposes that any subsidy that shall be paid by the American Government shall be paid directly to the seamen. This payment, of course, would be made only to American seamen on ships owned by Americans and flying the American flag. Twenty dollars a month is the figure he proposes the Government should pay, in addition to the wages paid by the shipowner. The total cost, if every government ship is bought by private ship owners, would be $6,000,000 a year. The response of the ship owners will be interesting to hear. Their great complaint has been that American ships operate at a disadvantage in competition with foreign ships because American seamen demand higher wages They concede that American seamen are among the finest in the world, equal to the best, superior to most. At the same wage cost, they have said, no American ship owner would wish to employ any other than American seamen. The matter of the common language of officers and crew is in itself a great advantage, they admit; from the passengers’ standpoint, in time of danger, it is more than an advantage, it is sometimes the difference between life and death. At one stroke, Chairman O’Connor’s proposal, if adopted, would equalize wage costs for the ship owners. It would enable them to man their ships with the best seamen that American ships could have and their part of the payment would be only what they would have to pay for foreign seamen. In the days when America had a merchant marine that held its own with the rest of the world, American boys went to sea. are ready to go again, but not at the wages paid coolies and other orientals. The seamen’s act has improved living conditions for sailors, especially for Americans. The forecastle has ceased to be the hell-hole it once was, thanks

TRAVEL CHEAPER THAN STAYING HOME

Times Washington Bureau , 1.122 New York Avmue. rrraASHINGTON, May 2.—Thirty. \X/ five thousand well-dressed American citizens will go to Europe this summer in the whitecollar steerage quarters of ‘he United States Shipping Board boat.*. They will be comfortable, they will be well fed. Their trip over and l ack will cost them only from $155 to $175. Travel on cabin boats or second class accommodations on large ships cost about double this. “If we had the ships, we could handle double this number,” says the passenger office handling bookings for the Shipping Board. When immigration fell off, due to enforcement of our quota laws, the company handling the boats for the Shipping Board began to ponder what they could do with the room going to waste on their ships. Towne Nylander of the United States Lines began to think of the thousands of Americans who weren’t

Oillett has served sixteen continuous terms in the House of Representatives beginning his service March 4, 1893. lie is from the Second Massachusetts district. What is the origin of the game of lai-eball? The origin is Somewhat obscure, although authorities are strongly of the opinion that it is a development of the old English game of rounders. The first appearance of any game similar to baseball in this country was in the early 19th Century. A game known as "One Old Cat" was popular with schoolboys In the North Atlantic States. It was played by three boys, each fielding and batting in turn, runs being scored by batsman running to the single base and back again wtihout being cried “out.” There were also modifications of this game with four, six and eight players. As the game dev' loped it became known as townball, and in 1833 the Olympic Town Ball Club was organized In Philadelphia. The first actual matches between organized baseball clubs took place about 1840 and In the neighborhood of New York. It was in that the Washington Baseball Club was prganized, but not until two years later were the first regu•

to Andrew Furuseth and Senator La Follette. It may be that O’Connor is offering the next step forward. His plan deserves' the study of all those who wish to see a real American merchant marine. It is likely to appeal to advocates of an adequate naval reserve, for, in effect, the proposed S2O government bonus would make naval reservists—and the best of naval reservists —of the American sailors thus obtained. Chairman O’Connor has given the country something useful to think about.. Pensions For Old Folks | t-i l VERY once in a while conservative old | il< 1 England puts something across that would make our political old guard yell its outraged and scandalized head off. The latest proposition is an old age pension for workers, a scheme whereby every wage earner in Great. Britain, man or woman, affecting some 30,000,000 people or 70 per cent of Britain’s total population, would receive a weekly pension from the age of 65 on. The scheme has been proposed, not by ti e Labor party, but by Chancellor Winston Churchill, speaking for the Cabinet of Premier Stanley Baldwin, admittedly the most stronglv intrenched conservative government Britain has had for decades. Briefly, each male worker would pay 8 cents a week while he worked updo the age of 65, and every female worker 4 cents a week. The employer would add 8 and 4 cents a week respectively, and turn the proceeds over to the government, which would make up the balan;i of the “premium.” The expense to the government would range from $20,000,000 to $100,000,000 annually until about the eightieth year, when the system would become self-supporting. The pension would begin at the age of 65 whether the recipient kept on working or not. When a man died, his widow would receive an annuity for life, plus so much additional for each child under 14. Orphans would be given small pensions. And so on. In short, the project aims to remove the specter of poverty in old age from the ken of even the poorest British laborer. ‘ ‘ Socialism ! Communism! Paternalism! Bolshevism!’’ And heaven only knows what we would hear in this country were such a scheme proposed. We boast of being the premier land of liberalism, progress and ideals. But are we?

as rich as Europeans think all Americans are, but who would probably like to travel abroad if the> had the price. Many, he believed, were hanging off because they couldn't quite stanu the stigma of going any other way than first, or possibly second class. So last year he organized what he called “Teachers', students’, veteran.)’, and artists’ tours." He had the third class accommodations done over, cut down the number to be assigned to one room, improved the food, and put in a bigger staff of stewards and stewardesses, and then did some advertising. Eight thousand teachers, writers, a i lists and World War veterans fell for it. They became enthusiastic about the idea. This year the only trouble seems to be to get anyone to go either first or second class. A number of other big lines ore having to meet the shipping board competition and

lar rules drawn up by the Knickerbocker Baseball Club. The first National Association was organized in 1858, and the first entirely professional baseball club, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, was organized ten years later. What were the exact words used by President Monroe in his annual message to Congress in 1823 that have become known as the “Monroe Doctrine?” ”... We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. W r ith the existing colonies or dependencies of any Europena power we have not interfered, and shall not interfere. But with the governments who have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great\ consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than in a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States. What, was Michael Faraday? A highly distinguished chemist and natural philosopher, born at Newington Butt*, London, England. He received a meagre education, and at 13 was apprenticed to a booksel'er, but devoted his evenings to chemical add electrical studies and became a student of Sir Humphry

have also put in special third class tours. One big company advertises as follows: “One hundred and sixty dollars (tax included) will take you over and back. True, if you want luxury you will be disappointed. What we guarantee is that the accommodation will be clean and neat and the food good and wholesome, and most important of all, as far as it is ever possible to be sure, you may l>e sure of congenial fellow passengers.” On some of the larger, faster ships such as the “leviathan,” such a trip costs $167 to Southampton and return. The shipping board has also made arrangements for listing low-price accommodations in Europe, particularly those used in the winter by university students, and securing options on them. They say many of these cost as littlo as eighty cents to one dollar a day.

Davy, who, quick to detect his ability, installed him as his assistant. In 1827 he succeeded Davy as lecturer to the Royal Institution and became professor of chemistry in 1833. He made many notable discoveries in chemistry, while in electricity and magnetism his achievements cover the entire field of these sciences, and are of the first importance. He died in 1867. What is the best method so putting away woolen clothes for the summer? Brush and beat them clean, cleaning off all grease and other spots thoroughly. Hang them on the line in the open air In the sun for several hourcf. Tie them in sacks or bags i lade of newspaper tightly sewed together so that no moth cap get in. If mothproof paper bags Or a cedar chest is available it is best to put them in these. Why is Ohio called the "Buckeye State?” “Buckeye” Is a common name for horse chestnut and the nickname given to Ohio is due to the large number of horse chestnut trees that abound in that State. Who was the first Pope of Rome to change his name on assuming the Pontificate? It was Pietro Osporca or Peter Hogtsmouth. Some authorities attribute'the change to the Pskparent arrogance of assuming to call himself Peter 11., but the general lpv pression is that he was glad ‘to rid. himself forever from all associations with his family nanie by assuming the title of Sergius 11. This precedent has been followed by all, his successors.

TRAILING THE SMOKE NUISANCE

SHE women’s smoke abatement committee has sent questionnaires to all candidates for mayor and city council asking their stand on smoke abatement and enforcement of the city smoke ordinance. The questionnaire may embarrass aspiring office seekers, who hope to ride into office on roseate generalities, not concrete promises. But

they can't dodge the smoke nuisance.* Despite the campaign of education to which It has been subjected for the past six months by city smoke in b p tcor, the smoke nuisance is still in the public eye, the private ear—and on the household

linen. Education doesn’t feaze it. It has been abated one-half of / one per cent, or some such amount, this winter through the activities of city officials. But that didn’t even bleach our chocolate colored winter mornings to a dark tan. A chimney here and there was tamed. That was all. With the passing of cold weather and reduction in coal consumption the nuisance goes into semi-retirement. But it isn’t dead; it is merely resting for a busy fall and winter. Consequently abatement agitation should not abate. Indianapolis either has an effective or defective smoke ordinance. During the next few months while smoke is at a minimum the ordinance should be put in shape, so that in proper season it cant bite the smoke nuisance as well as bark at it. THE CURFEW RINGS AGAIN ITy-aARSAW (Ind.) children under 1(5 years of age must I be off the streets and out of public places after 10 p. m. in summer and 9 p. m. in winter. ■ The mayor has announced that he will enforce, at the request of women, the city’s curfew law. Too many boys and girls frequent the streets and gad around nights, complained the women. So the musty, old ordinance —passed thirty years aso, but long a dead letter-—is resurrected to save the morals of Warsaw youth. Probably it will fail to achieve its purpose. No curfew law ever succeeded in being anything but a bogeyman for tiny tots, without power to frighten older children into paths of rectitude. Yet for many years no community would think of getting along without its curfew. It was a mark of civic progress and culture just like a volunteer fire department or a bonded debt. Now. however, most communities are sufficiently distinguished for cultural purposes by their bonded debts. Undoubtedly boys and girls under 16 are better off at home in the evening than running the streets or congregating in public places. But parents.,ought to be able to handle the situation themselves. Children of that age are not too old to be spanked. The heavy hand of parental discipline is more effective than a decrepit curfew law.

A FREE VACATION

IAPTAIN H. W. WEBBE, in .charge of enrollment for the citizen's military training camp at Ft. Benjamin Harrison—July 6 to Aug. B—states that Indiana lags far behind other States in the sth Corps area in applications. Young men between 17 and 24 are eligible to the camp. They are given military Instruction, plenty of recreation, food, clothes, and transportation—all at the expense of the Government. To the young man the camp offers a free vacation—all he spends is his time. Yet despite its obvious attractions young Hoosiers are slow to take advantage of the offer. Only 60 per cent of the State’s quota of enrollments has been received. From ten Indiana counties there has not been a single application. What is the matter? Has the younger generation suddenly become so pacific that the thought of a brief period of military training amid pleasant surroundings is abhorrent? Probably not. In spite of wide bottom trousers and other handicaps the young Hoosier this year possesses a full assortment of red corpuscles.- Pacifism has never done well here. No doubt the State will produce when occasion demands its customary crop of the flghtingest young men who ever wore uniforms. Failure to fill the training camp quota simply means that many eligible young men have not been Informed of the opportunity it affords. If they are informed' before May 16—the time limit for applications—lndiana as usual will stretch it quota all out of shape. CARE OF INSANE ty clerk, appealed to Govi—__l ernor Jackson recently to assist in aolving the problem of caring for persons who have been adjudged Insane in Marlon Oounty. The State hospital In this district is crowded to capacity and beyond. No more patients from this county are being received. Because of the State administration's economy policy, no provision was made by the last Legislature for enlarging the Institution’s facilites. Julietta, Maron county’s hospital, is full and no more will *>e received, assert county authorities. Anyway, they declare, care of such unfortunates is properly the duty of the State not the county. So in the interest of economy they pm pose to close, the Julietta institution—and turn its inmates over to the custody of the State. No doubt from the standpoint of strict Justice to the taxpayer this course is proper. Marion county alone in the State maintains’ its own insane hospital—and also supports the State institutions. Meanwhile a young man, an Incurable mental cane, has been confined in the Jail for , two months. It has been nearly a year since he was ordered committed to the State asylum, but was refused admittance. Other cases are similarly awaiting admittance. Governmental economy is desirable. But neither the State nor county administration can preen itself on economy practiced at the cost of humanitarianism. If that’s true economy why not clone all public asylums and save a lot of public money?

SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925

Hurdy-Gurdy By Hal Cock ran I heard an old time song today, that runs in sweetest rhyme. ’Twas years ago we used to play, "The Gcod Old Summertime.” And. too. an ancient member that, of old, made dancers sway. Why, surely, you remember it, that tuneful "Moonlight Bay." How easy one can backward drift, and in the old days be. Your mind can take the journey swift, to tunes like "Sweet Marie." Old “Alexander's Band" was played; the tune was changed, and then, the strains of “Annie Lauriee" made me feel real young again. I closed my eyes, and drifted through, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” and then a song we once all knew, came forth, "Sweet Adeline." They all may ring tln-panny, yet they make us want to sing, for mystic and uncanny are the mem’rles that they bring. There’s quite a thrill to listen to this music on the street. You don't know what you’re missin’, if you’ve missed this summer treat. It travels through the airway and to years ago ’twill span. Give credit, in the fair way, to the Hurdy-Gurdy man. In New York By James W. Dean EW YORK, May 2 —She worked long hours at the lunch counter in a skyscraper on Eighth Ave, making sandwiches for stenographers and busy business men. She knew how to make just about all the tasty combinations of meats, cheeses, fish, tomato and lettuce that were ever put. between two slices of bread. She was as much an artist in her way as GalliCurci or Pavlowa are in theirs. She was middle-aged, but up-to-date. She had a matronly waist, but she wore her hair in a boyish bob. She appeared to be at once sensible and modern. And she had a wholehearted laugh such as Is not often heard in this town. Also she had a way of calling the attention of the male waiters to men customers being neglected for giggling flappers. Never a man came into that busy place but what she saw that proper attention was given to him. Whether they were old or young she assumed a maternal attitude toward men. And that, too, is an attitude little found in skyscrapers. % So it was that the two of us frequently chatted about common subjects such as how tomatoes can bo kept fresh until past Thanksgiving by hanging the plant by its roots in the cellar, and how beautiful orchards are in the spring, and so on. She told mo about her boy, her only one of three marriages, who had enlisted when he was still In his teens and had gone to sleep forever among the poppies of Flanders. And so I missed her yesterday when I went to the counter where she made tho succulent sandwiches. But today I heard what became of her and I am happy. • • • Now please don’t think I am manufacturing a bit of fiction along the O. Henry line.
