Our Own Back Yard “pri UCH is the perversity of the human U mind that “the grass is always greener in ilie other fellow's yard.” This feeling is the cause of Florida's “gold rushes” and similar moving about of those who would better themselves. Sooner or later, after looking over a lot of other fellows’ yards, we come back to our own and realize that ours is just as green as the other fellow’s and greener than some. All c £ this merely leads up to the fact that the Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring an expedition tomorrow for the express purpose of looking over our own back yard. "We refer to the trip around the Belt Railroad to be made by some 800 business men. The guests on this trip won’t pee much green grass, but they will see a lot of flourishing industries. They will see smokestacks puffing smoke —to the disgust of smoke abatement enthusiasts, but nevertheless spelling prosperity. The backyard of Indianapolis may not be as well mowed as that, of Miami, for instance, but it will be considerably more active in producing wealth. Industry and not speculation is the basis of prosperity.

School Bells “qICHOOL BELLS don't ring l as thev used to. Much tooting of horns, ‘grinding of cars, blowing of whistles and whirring of machinery has made us bitter toward noise, so we repress the musical sounds. But the clock ticks just the same, and if anything more dictatorial^. At such or snch a minute, the kids must be in their seats, warned by raucous little buzzers in place of the old-time, deep-toned bells. YTe are efficient, if not artistic. The system is precise, with its marchings out and in, its fire drills, its scientific classifications, its card indices, its automatic exercisings. At such or such a minute, thousands of kids open their books, each hook like every other, and read the same lesson. The lesson may give them a wrong impression as to the importance of a city in Texas, or an erroneous conception of modern China, but they must take it. It is part of the system. They all learn to figure interest alike, and the same rule for factoring. They learn history, paragraph by paragraph, able to remember it, at times, because of a picture on the opposite page. This is education in its modem, efficient seDse, typified by a "Western Union clock setting hundreds of gongs going at precisely the same moment, where the janitor, or sometimes the principal, used to ring a bell, perhaps a minute early or a minute late. It’s the best we can do under the circumstances. with our crowded cities, our drift toward organization, our desire to take everything apart, not only to see what makes it tick, but to make it tick in time with everything else. But for the mischief and laughter of the kids, it would be terribly monotonous. The mischief and laughter of the kids, however, expressing, as they do, a sense of humor and individuality, will not be downed. We can take the old bell away and string electric wires through the building. We can make 1C)0,000 kids jump up like automata, change rooms or jaiarch forth like grenadiers, by pressing a button in some downtown office. But we can’t make the color of children’s eyes uniform, or make them like the same things. Individuality will rise above any system, even if it has to break the system. Our task is to devise a system that individuality will not have to break in order to express itself. IT IS worthy of notice that no cave women appeared in the controversy of cave men over the Collins exhibit at the State Fair. * • EVEN a flask toter could hardly skid at the corner under guidance of the new street signs, sketches seem to indicate.

TOM SIMS SAYS

So few ladles and gentlemen drive their autos like ladies and gentlemen. News from Bulgaria. King shined his own shoes. About the only king left who really knows how to shirie. Stone age man had a hard time keeping his wife at his feet. Modern man keeps her at his heels. A snail travels a foot in four minu‘e&. That's a fact. And believe it or not, this isn’t as fast as a street car. Most people are disappointed because they are disappointing. Tou have to step on a rounder to make him be square.

Registration SHE weakness of the present system of registering voters as compared with the old system is becoming more and more apparent as the date for the city election approaches. This year voters were registered when they voted in the primary. If they did not vote in the primary they were not registered. In order to vote this fall they must register before Oct. 5. This is not generally understood, as no registration days are provided and no places for registration are specified. Os course, party workers are doing their best to register the unregistered voters before the time expires, but it is entirely probable that because of the new system many men and women will lose the franchise this year. As an example of what is happening the fact is cited that only 101,000 Indianapolis voters are registered as compared with 160.000'in the last election. Os course, the present registration system is supposed to result in more or less permanent registration of voters. However, there is. a constant moving from place to place in. the city, necessitating re-registration and resulting in c( nfusion. The old system of having two registration ' days before each election was more satisfactory to the voters, although more expensive tothe community.

How to Keep Cool Repairing a Puncture mF you own a ear. or ever ride in a car, this will interest you. Between now and next spring 39,000,000 trees will be planted in Great Britain as part of the government’s program for restoring tho rapidly disappearing forests of England, Scotland and Wake. “Good for Britain!” you say. “But what’s that to do with me if” This: There are some 251.610 miles of highways in the State systems of this country. Last year a total of 23,000 miles of new roads, graded or surfaced, were added. For some years to come we will probably add new roads at about that rate. Recently we made rather a long journey over some of these roads. ,F° r the most part they ran through a treeless country. At any rate the roads themselves were seldom shaded and when we stopped to fix a puncture, as we sometimes had to do, the summer sun fell on the back of our neck like a house afire. Even in motion the sun was blistering, peeling the paint off our car. Now we need trees in our country as badly as they do in Britain. Our Government, almost without policy with regard to forest conservation, or too niggardly to spend enough money to protect what we have, has allowed lumbermen to cut down any and every tree they wanted and hundreds of thousands of other acres have been burned or otherwise wasted. Suppose, therefore, we planted trees along our highways? Suppose we planted a tree every fifty-odd feet on both sides our roads? This would give us about 200 trees per mile, or more than 50,000,000 shade producers along our State system, not counting the lesser roads. The new roads would add some 2.000,000 more trees every year. Not only would this be the equivalent of whole new forests but you’d bless ’em every time you went tcuring—with a double blessing at each stop for repairs. Think this over. Get behind the idea. The Federal Government pays part of the expenses of roadbuilding. Suggest to your congressman that one of the conditions of this help should be a tree every fifty feet along both sides of the road. THE anvil chorus halted a moment when the news came that a Florida bandit was given fifty years in prison. • • • i EMERSON’S law of compensation went into action when California had an earthquake but sent a native daughter to victory in the Atlantic City beauty contest.

A young lady tells us she unpacked her fur coat and moths were making the fur fly. There is no sign of relief from the cold weather shortage. Lost sleep Is hard to find. Some of these pensive girls are just plain lazy. Taxes may be reduced next year. That’s only natural. They can’t raise there, if we can’t. An idle rumor can cause as much trouble about the house as an idle roomer. Why shouldn’t the weather be discussed more often than any other subject? It's the closest to us.

Working too hard has one advantage. Tou don't have time to realize you don’t want to work too bard. Some young people may not go to church Very often, but just the same they love one another. When you see two men in, the front seat and two women In the back they are married. Arrested a man while he was playing golf in Nashville. Tenru More of this should be done. Bear attacked a prohibition agent in Arkansas. He should have known there was something bruin. In St. Louis, a woman kicked out a shop -window. The prices on some hats really are terrible.

ANGLERS! FISH ARE FOUND IN THE DESERT OF SAHARA

By David Diet* “T-IRTESIAN wells recently dug in the northern part of the Sahara Desert have been found to contain fish, small crabs and a number of varities of shellfish. The most surprising thing about the find was that the fish possessed normal coloring and normal eyes. Asa result scientists Ua-ve a puzzle on their hands. For the bright colorings and the possession of eyes mean that the fish were not the type which had always lived in subterranean or pools. The pools in caves yield fish which are sightless and some which do not even possess eyes. French scientists who ha<e been investigating the subject think that the desert was not always as dry as it is today. Comparatively recently, as time is measured in geology, they think that a number of rivers flow through the Sahara.

RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA By GAYLORD NELSON

LET’S ORGANIZE A SOCIETY 'GTJFFEYITES of Indiana—an organization composed of those who used the old McGuffey readers In their far-off school days—held their annual convention in the Statehouse last week. The society has 245 members. Probably it is natural that those who happened to study the same

series of textbooks In their distant youth should feel a common bond which should impel them to formal organization. The purpose of 6UCh association Is, of course, laudable. Americans are first and always joiners. More lodges, clubs, societies, business, social and cultural associations flour-

lsh to the square foot In this country than anywhere else in the world. Organizing Is a national hobby. “Let's organize a society” is almost a national refrain. If two persons ride the same hobby, chew the same brand of gum, patronize the same barber, or use the same multiplication table they Immediately form an organization, elect officers and hold annual conventions and sundry meetings. One not a member of various associations is regarded with suspicion by his neighbor and of questionable credit at the bank. All these! organizations no doubt serve useful or ornamental purposes. Nevertheless, contemporary society Is being organized within an inch of its life. If America ever expires It may not be from senile decay or causes that have worked ,the downfall of other nations but from being clubbed to death.

A BOY BURGLAR rpn RANK JARDINA. 613 I r I Stevens St., twice within ULJ a week had money stolen from his trousers' pockets while he slept. Police caught the villain —a 9-year-old boy. who confessed to these burglaries as well as two other "jobs” in the neighborhood. The lad—one of a family of thirteen children —is now in the detention home awaiting juvenile court action. Perhaps the fact that he came from a large family had nothing to do with the criminal activities of the Infantile burglar. Possbily there is a connection. Proper Individual training of thirteen children. under distracting present day conditions, requires unusual parents. Children are not born with instinctive understanding of the difference between mine and thine. The impulse of the child Is to take any article that attracts his fancy without considering the abstract principle of ownership. He has to be taught the difference. So with other ideas of morals and conduct. Conceptions of right and wrong, honesty and dishonesty, veracity and lying, have been established by society- as the outgrowth of custom and experience, varying with different races and different ages. People have to be taught them. Adam and Eve knew neither good nor evil until the apple educated them. The job of teaching moral principles to the child must be begun early—it's one of the heavy responsibilities of parenthood. It is not how large a family they have but how well their children are reared that measures parents’ contribution to society. BAN ON DANCING HE ban on student dances ill at Pauw University f will stay for another semester at least, announced Dr. Murlin, president of the institution. recently. • Ministerial bodies, of the denomination maintaining school, oppose lifting the ban. The student body wants to dance. As De Pauw is a sectarian institution, founded and supported by private benefactions, determination of its policy and program, educational, athletic and social, is a matter for the sect not the general public. But isn’t the question of student dancing taken too seriously by its opponents? Dancing is as old as the human race if not older. It is natural for man to express his emotion and feelings by gestures, genuflec-

But with the change In conditions, these rivers began to dry up. Other geological changes caused some rivers to disappear underground. When this happened, it is believed that the fish life was carried underground at the same time where It has managed to survive. • • * T""1 HE longest • suspension bridge In the world is newring coml- pletion. It spans the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Camden. The total length of this triumph of modern engineering is 2253 feet and four inches. The main span is 1760 feet long.

They have their foundations in large steel and wood caissons filled with concrete.

tion and rhythmic movements. That’s dancing. It is no more inherently wicked than sneezing or twitching the ears. In fact dancing formed an important part of the religious ritual of .ancient peoples. Egyptians. Babylonians, Greeks, Romans. Nordics and Hebrews worshipped their gods with dances. David “leaped and danced before the Lord" as an act of devotion, not of sinful Indulgence. ' The modern dance has lost Its religious significance. In truth it has lost most everything but a wiggle. It Is paralyzed from the waist down, and Is more reminiscent of Salome before she got a sliver in her foot than of King David. Still even modern forms of the terpsiohore art suffer more from the saxophone than from moral degradation. Probably student dances under proper regulations and oversight are no more harmful than other social gatherings where young people of both sexes mingle together. PASSING FREIGHT TRAINS I j IOCAL freight trains on the ILi I Madison division of the I 1 Pennsylvania Lines, Indiana’s first railroad and the oldest line west of the Alleghenies, have been discontinued. A box car attached to passenger trains will hereafter serve the dozen towns along the road. Residents in the communities affected regret the change—they dislike curtailment of their shipping facilities. But what alternative has the railroad? On this line, freight business has almost, vanished and passenger traffic has declined 50 per cent in the past year. Competition of busses and motor trucks is given as the reason. What has happened on the old “Pan-handle" road is happening on every branch rail line in the country. They are rusting away Into nothingness to the dismay of the towns dependent on them for access to the outside world. Perhaps eventually all except the big through rail lines will he superseded by busses and trucks for the transportation cf passengers and all freight. But. at present the ambling freight trains on steam roads can not be dispensed with conveniently. Certain bulky and heavy commodities, wheat, coal and basic raw materials of industry are moved more cheaply on rails than In motor trucks. To every’ aspiring town a railroad Is still necessary. Abandonment of service by steam roads may work hardship on the residents of communities along branch lines. But such residents really have no very valid grounds for complaint. They are responsible for the condition. If they’ give the cream of their transportation business to busses and trucks they shouldn’t be surprised If their rail lines starve to death on the skimmed milk. The Old Straw mT S just about time to be sayin’ good-by to the lid I've been wearin' all summer. It’s been a good friend, without battin’ an eye, but now it has gone on the hummer. The straw that I purchased when hot days began, was brilliant and shiny when new. But now it has picked up a nice coat of tan, and quite frankly, I feel that it,’s through. The brim is rough edged and the lining is torn; there are plenty of nicks on the top. No wonder I feel that It’s lookin' forlorn. Why, the band's about ready to drop. To toss it away and forget it for aye, I have many a sensible reason. But shucks. I'll just bet. It’s the hat that I'll get to start out with the next summer season.

Movie Verdict The general verdict is that the Circle. Colonial, Ohio and Apollo have never given Indianapolis better entertainment at the same time than they are giving this week. Colonial—ln “The Goose Woman” you have one of the ten best movies of the year. Apollo—" Wild Horse Mesa” should be seen by everybody from ten to sixty'. Splendid. Ohio—“ The Ten Commandments”—needs no more praise. Stands on its own merit. Circle—" The Lost World" as novelty entertainment is the best that the screen has ever reflected

if ‘Lost World’ Monsters Walk Off the Screen Yell Out Loud For An Airplane

By Walter D. Hickman mF those prehistoric brutes should. I say should, come to life on the screen at the Circle this week, just yell for an airplane and trust to the navy depaxtment that the plane wdll not run out of gas. Am just starting to rave about “The Lost World,” which Is First National's as well as Watterson Rothacker’s best gift to the amusement world. Am telling you that this “Lost World” movie Is so bloomin’ differ-

ent from anything that has been done on the screen, that I have the hunch that nobohdy will dare to copy it. The director had to create the first “tanks” In the world. Meaning some animals that are so large, fiery, fierce and strong that they existed “only" in the days when brave knights wore armor and had a magic sword. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle knew that It would be wild fun to mix up

these prehistoric brutes with the modern man. And he did that very little thing when he turned out "The Lost World." Am not going to try to name the monsters in this los world affair because I wouldn’t be. sure of the spellin; but I sure am telling you that these hugh babies of other days move about with tails to strong and so big that one little swipe of its tail would make the biggest building in this city look like a sandpile. And one of these prehistoric brutes gets loose in London and what it does w*h its tail and its snorts — well, not much was left of London town. And all this happens right before your very eyes when this monster gets busy in London. I want to see this picture a second and maybe a third time so I can study the mechanics of the animals. I do know that these wild babies move right before your eyes. From the standpoint of novelty there is nothing in the history of the movie world that has approached "Tho Lost World.” It took years and years of study to assemble and bring back to "life” these monsters. Some way or another they got out of the brain box of Doyle and then the movie man got busy, “captured” a bunch of ’em and made ’em act. Frem a mechanical standpoint, tho guy who made these brutes walk about, eat and fight was some little guy himself. It will keep you guessing just how this marvelous effect was obtained. They have a right to yell their heads off about this picture being the wonder movie. To my mind It is the most wonderful bit of technical movie artistry that I have ever seen. As Mister or rather Sir Doyle tells the yarn, a scientist in London got the raspberries or the old tomatoe can when he told his fellow scientists about prehistoric animals that used whole trees as toothpicks. , To prove it and to make possible a 1925 romance between a boy and a girl, an expedition starts out to find this strange land. And oh, boy, they sure do find the querest animals. After a volcano turns Itself loose, one of these Brontosaurus (hope that thing is spelled right) falls into the hands (that sounds funny) of the scientists who ship him to Loudon. But the old boy breaks and makes a wild dash through London. And not much was left of the old town when "Bront" stopped wagging his tall. The principal human parts are played by Lloyd Hughes. Bessie Love, Lewis Stone. Wallace Berry (new sort of a role for him) and Arthur Hoyt. These humans are splendid, but the animals, they sure are the thing. Here is a picture that will make yoju talk out right loud in your sleep. This sure is some picture. At the Circle all week.

when a child was born, a boy. she sacrificed her voice. It left her and she settled on a little tract of land. In this dirty place she dreamed of her glorious past as she sank deeper and deeper into despair. She hated her son because it was he who caused her golden voice to leave her. She drank gin and hated all men. She longed for front page space. So when the murder happened she framed up a yarn that she was au eye witness to the tragedy. So the district attorney, to make the story stick (because nobody would attach any importance to this dirty creature), decided to clean and dress up the old hag and introduce her as the famous prima donna of twenty years ago.

ttao murderer. Then comes the terrible realization of the lie. Os course, the real murderer turns tip and happiness seems just around the corner for the goose woman, her son and tho sweetheart of the son. To my way of thinking, "The Goose Woman” is one of the ten best pictures of the year and I will include it. in my list. The realistic work of Louise Dresser as the Goose Woman will stnndput as one of the finest accomplishments of the year. As the ditry old hag who Is sinking deeper and deeper into the dirt. Miss Dresser is gigantic, powerful, cruel, weak and cunning. She makes herself the most hated Individual in the world. And when she blossoms out as her better self, you again see genius displayed. Here Is acting that makes you want to sink down on your knees and be thankful for real artistry on the screen.
