ENFORCEMENT APPEAL MARE BY NICHOLSON Anti-Saloon League hhad Says Bootlegging Is Disgrace. An appeal for the strict enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment and enlistment of more persons in upholding prohibition was sounded Thursday night by Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Detroit, Mich., president of the Anti-Saloon League of America, in an address at Central Avenue M. F. Church, Central Ave. and Twelfth St., under auspices of the Marion County \V. C. T. U. "This whole bootlegging business is a nullification of the Constitution and a, disgrace to the country,” said Bishop Nicholson. “What has become of the sacredness of public officials and public offices of trust?” asked Bishop Nicholson. "They tell us conditions today are worse than they were before the Eighteenth amendment.” Saloon Replaced Bishop Nicholson declared the old Adood bucket saloon is now replaced suitable rental sites. Prohibition mas given the average person more buying power, he said. Nicholson cited Danville, 111., which had fifty-five saloons and very poor conditions before in. “'onstitution was amended. Today the in habitants have s4!iG,ol>o in bank savings and own most of their homes. He said there is very little, ir any, bootlegging in the town. "What’s the duty of the hour?" asked the Bishop. “Arouse the churches of their alarming indifference. get them in their harness and tackle their task," he replied. Report Not Sentiment Bishop Nicholson denied 'at the recent report of a cornmi of the Federal Council of Churches rapping prohibition was the sentiment of thirty six Protestant denominations which comprise the council. He said he is a member of the council's executive committee and that the 'port was never submitted nor approved by -he committee. "The report does not represent the sentiment of the Frotestant Chris tian Churches and is not correct,” declared the bishop. The bishop closed his address with an urge that every young woman in America be enlisted in the \V. C. 7\ U. anb educaled to help light its cfe.use. HOW DUMB WE ARE MONTREAL. —The average per,attains his mental growth at Hie age of 14, says Dr. C. E. KelRgg of McGill University. He admits that a man knows more than a boy of 14, but says experience with army recruits show that his thinking ability is no greater.

Grasshoppers Inflate Themselves to Hop, Says Head of New School Museum

Secrets of Nature Are Bared by Microscope of Local Expert. If man were as good an aviator as a grasshopper the troubles of American aeronautics would vanish. This conclusion, and other interesting ideas, was reached after an interview with Roderic H. Rae, 4812 College Ave., Scottlsh-American artist, who makes microscopic studies of plants and animals for the children’s museum which is being developed for the visual instruction of Indianapolis school children. The secrets of nature are revealed by Rae’s work. He dissects insects and plants, makes lantern slides from the parts, draws the animals and plants and writes lectures to accompany the slides and pictures. data on each insect or plant assembled into a carrying case and the cases are to be- taken from school to school to instruct the children in nature study, geography, history and science. Pictured above is the '‘running gears” of the grasshopper, looking very much like the chassis of a “speed bug” at the Speedway. The five large sacs on either side of the “back-bone,” the two large ones in his “neck” and dozens of small sacs in his head are inflated when the grasshopper gets ready to jump. Filled with air in this manner, Mr. Grasshopper is able to jump about I fiO times his length, Rae says. If a man could do that he could jump about 600 feet, or about three times as high as the Monument. Mr. Hopper has air cushions in his head to protect him when he bangs up against a brick wall. Besides these accomplishments he* can sing, with his legs. He rubs his legs .gainst his wj.ngs to make a noise. The Katy did, being original, rubs her wings together. A Katj*> did has ears in the "elbows" of her front legs, while the grasshopper's ears are in his abdomen. The difference between a grasshopper and a "locust” is that in the antennae, or horns, on the locust there are no more than thirty-six joints. More than this brands the insect a grasshopper, Rae points out. Rae took the gizzard out of a grasshopper and photographed it. gizzard has 1,600 grinding he said. studies of flax, wool, silk, cotton, pottery and any other objects which can profitably be used in teaching the children are mado by Rae.

New ‘Charleston ’ Dance Step Makes * It Easy to Dislocate Your Knee Cap

By Elolse Walton mF you want to learn to dislocate your knee-cap in a jiffy, take up the “Charleston,” the dance that’s swaying the country—and swinging the feet just Aow. Some folk: can do It in one lesson—dislocate the knee cap, that is. But about the best thing the "Charleston” dislocates is a sour disposition. \ou can t be interested in this sprightly new hop, skip and jump and nurse a grudge. You can't hold your tongue between your teeth either, so be warned. I tried it. Upon the slippery ballroom floor at ‘Jlti’/a N. Meridian St., Miss Mae Berry, who has just returned from a dancing teachers' convention in < Cleveland, Ohio, where the “Charleston” was put through all its paces, turned on the electric player piano and glided away in a special exhibition. One, two, three, four walking steps she took, and then —now lessee, how was that—she put her left foot behind her right foot, with the toe of

her left shoe touching the heel of her right. Then, presto, and her toes turned in toward each other and her right foot wafted ceilingward for the space of about a hundredth of a second, and closed rapidly with her left, the heel of which was right smack up against the toe of her right. Figure it out. That's the first movement in the "Charleston” for the feminine half of the partnership. Tne man uses his left foot for the assault and battery on other dancers. In the pictures above, Mis3 Berry is demonstrating the man’s obligations, and the pictures are numbe.-efl in illustration of each move of this "movement.” She says the exaggeration of the Charleston, as shown here, Is taught at first (so that we poor dumbbells can got\the hang of it), but that for proper ballroom dancing only a modified movement is used that just suggests the flippancy of the dance. The next little movement has a

partment, in gathering data and products for the museum. Miss Frances assembles, for instance, a flax exhibit. The exhibit Includes the flax, itself, as ; t grows in the field. Then It is carried step by step through the various processes by which it is made into linen. S.milar object lessons are carried out with silk, from the silk worm to the fin shed piece of goods; pottery from clay, through the mqulds and glazing process to the finished piece of pottery, and paper, from the trees in the woods, through the pulp mills to the finished stationery. The museum will be one of the most complete in the United States, Dalman said. It is being developed with the greatest care for accuracy and for Its educational value. The child’s Interest is attracted by the interesting features, and as the 3tory is unfolded the valuable educational truths are inculcated easily.

ber. He has been engaged by the Indianapolis school board for the year 1924-25. Rae was born in Aberdeen Scotland, and came to Indianapolis in IPO6 after winning high honors in England as a scientist. He was assistant manager of the Edison & Swan Electric works at London. His Interest in entomology was aroused one day when he was making a microscopic study of a small piece of wire. Through the miscro&eope he saw a small bug crawling along the wire. He be came interested in insects from that time and began making microscopic slides. Assisted by Mrs. Rae, who is enthusiastic over her husband's work, Rae has made more than 30,000 microscopic slides. One of his greatest pieces of work, he said, was making a .lantern slide from a microphotograph of a tiny speck of living cells from the bottom of the ocean. The tiny enimals, enlarged, show beautiful diagrams, similar to snowflake-,. when photographed.

partner's shoes you should get some sort of prize. foot crosses in front of the right foot, and somehow or other the right foot scoots out and does a j shenanigan in the air. The movement is reversed to fit the left foot and then you go on. This is called See-see Charleston. You can do it doubly or singly. The “Charleston” is certainly a false-tooth loosener and is admirably suited to very young people since the "Toddle” forms a good part of it. But there is no Bunny hugging about the Charleston. The bleu that the dance is "wicked" certainly has been shot wide of the mark. Font! parents needn't become excited over their little chicks flying off to flap this new step, because the only couple that could do the Charleston, and dance cheek to cheek, would he a pair of cranes or flamingoes or storks. If your mind isn't on your feet and what you’re going with them, you might as .well get off the

floor and out of other enthusiastic persons' way. The Charleston as a gloom disperser takes first prize. It has that joyous spirit of action that accompanied the old-time dances, it brings a sparkle to tho eyes—and certainly n twinkle to the toes. It loosens up old joints and keeps young ones supple. If you're blue or jaded take a course of "Charleston." Sounds like a color scheme combiner, but if it is it combines only the brightest colors. Perhaps it IS only anew step bark to the old steps that are more and more in demand. Among oldtime familiar dances to be seen on Indianapolis ballroom floors this winter will lie the old square dances, the lancers, the heel and toe polka Rnd contra dances. They all fill a long felt need for sociability at dances and balls, and the young people are just as fascinated by them as the older couples. Perhaps Henry Ford really started something that will spread nation wide when he ordered old fashioned fiances for his employes, who sent their instructor to Cleveland last week to show the dancing teachers some dances that were still new, though I old.

FREIGHT QUIZ REPEAL ASKED State C. of C. Committee Launches Movement. Freight and traffic committee of the Indiana State chamber of commerce at a meeting Thursday, launched a movement to repeal the Smith-Hoke resolution adopted by the last Congress, which ordered a wide spread investigation of the freight structure of the entire country. The committee resolution was presented by L. R. Martin, of the Oliver Chilled PI w Works, South Bend, and received unanimous approval of the twenty-eight managers of industries and secretaries of chambers of commerce who were present. R. B. Coapstick, of the 4tate chamber of commerce -said he believed the Investigation as carried on under the Smith-Hoke resolution was a waste of time and money and would never resuit in complete readjustment. The freight and traffic committee went on record as being opposed to the general freight rate increase proposed by the carriers. The committee is not opposed, however, to Increases in specific cases when necessary, according to George H. Mosser. State chamber secretary. HEAT WAVE RETURNS Indianapolis today experienced a partial return of the heat wave which gripped the city earlier In the month. The mercury registered 88 at 11:30 a. m., the highest since Sept. 11, when a mark of 90 was recorded. Cooler weather is predicted for tonight by the I'nlted States Weather Bureau.

PEACE SEEN IN TANGLE OVER LIEBER SALARY Satisfactory Readjustment Is Expected to Be Made Saturday. Developments in the tangle between members of the conservation coltimission over reduction of the salary of Richard Lieber, director and two other department heads today indicated a satisfactory readjust ment will be made at the regular meeting Saturday. William A. Guthrie, of Dupont, chairman, who, It is said, has long sought control of the department, and Everett L. Gardner, of Montirello, Democratic member, voted the calary reductions last Friday night at a special meeting In Guthrie's office. E. M. Wilson, of Anderson, opposed the cut and Dean Stanley Coulter of Lafayette w r as absent. Gardner favored cutting Lieber's salnry liefnuse the director had opposed needless expenditure of money by the commissioner. Talk Quilting Wilson and Coulter have threatened to resign if such political activities are continued by board members. Governor Jackson, although he has | issued no statement, has indicated jhe disapproves of the action of Guthrie and Gardner It was thought likely that the Governor will call th commissioners into conference With hbn Saturday. ' Individual expenditures of the commissioners from Oct. 1, 1924 to | Aug. 31, 1925. are: Wilson, $l3O per I diem, and $32.82 traveling expenses; j Coulter, $65 per diem, and $27.06 expenses: Guthie. $195 per diem and $133 94 expense*, and Gardner (for only five months) $3lO per diem and $532.73 expenses. It was said there Is no reason for the expenses of the members to vary go widely. Friends of Lieber charged Gardner considered the post as a chance to earn a living while It j was intended only as honorary. Lieber hna headed the department since its inauguration Aug. 1, 1919. The departm°nt has six branches, geology, entomology, forestry, lands and waters, fish and game, and engineering. The branches have sev-enty-five ramifications. Balance Is Shown Total appropriation for the year is $102,089. On Sept. 1 the department had available for the remainder of the year $28,164.17, while only $15,150 was required. The expected balance of $13,014 Is to be used as a pre payment on the debt on C’llfty Falls Park. Besides the appropriation the department has an annual income of about $23C.000, which is expended through an internal budget. In five and one-half years the department has invested $70,000 more than received. Holdings of the department in State parks, fisheries and reserves are estimated at $2,000,000. Ninety-four employes are on the pay roll.

Pelted With Egg* Mulcahy was stoned, beaten, pelted with rotten eggs. hissed and booed by a mob of his countrymen and women as he stepped from the steamer at Hoboken. The air was filled with missiles and cries of "murderer" and "perjurer.” It was a mob of Irish and IrishAmericans, enemies nov/ of the Irish Free State and supporters of the idea of an Irish republic, that made the attack. Four years ago this same "Dick" Mulcahy was esteemed a "broth of a lad" in the south of Ireland and he led a thin rebel line In incessant guerilla waifare against the "black and tans"—until the British and the Irish made ponce. Some of the same men who mobbed him upon his arrival here were in the ranks with Mulcahy in the war for Irish freedom. Women Aid Assailants When the fighting ceased, Mul-c-ahy’s prowess had won him high rank In the army of the new born Irish Free State, lie became commander in chief and ns such had to withstand the assaults of the Irish Republicans who turned against, their own leaders once the English withdrew. Mulcahy had to order the execution of rebels, and had other unpleasant jobs of this sort. It was his performance of these that brought on the attacks. Thomas Johnson and Michael Hayes, members of the Dull, were with the general at the time of attack. The trio came to attend the international parliamentary congress in Washington. Police Rescue Him Mulcasy was struck in the face by one of the mob and another kicked his legs. Women took part In the attack. Reserve police were called out. They formed a flying wedge and heat through the moh and rescued the three men. Police accompanied Mulcahy to a ferry and the ride across the Hudson and to the hotel was made without incident. The attackers carried Inflammatory posters comparing the general with Benedict Arnold and Eamonn De Valera with George Washington. They said they had planned to have a hearse on the landing stage, but the steamer arrived ahead of schedule. Mulchay’s assailants vowed further attacks today. Mulcahy spent the morning ready for trouble, but when nothing happened he and his companions slipped out a side entrance and were swallowed up In the busy streets. Mulcahy said he had no definite plans, other than to avoid being the subject of hostile demonstrations, until October, when the inter-parlla- ] mentary meetings start at WashingI ton.
