Boosting the City OUCH has been accomplished during the past year by the Chamber of Commerce to make Indianapolis greater, according to chamber officers at the annual meeting of the organization Wednesday. A brighter future is indicated. Thirty-four new industries were brought to the city the past year. Two hundred and seventy-nine conventions —of which 62 were national and international—were held here, bringing 325,000 visitors from outside the city. • Very gratifying. Chamber of Commerce reports and other incontrovertible evidence prove that Indianapolis is making substantial progress outward and upward. But much of the development is due to accident and the logic of location rather than concerted effort. A lot of our city boosting consists of vigorously patting ourselves on the back. Many months ago a proposal to raise a large fund to be expended in attracting new industries to the city was discussed. Nothing came of the proposal, although one prominent banker offered to subscribe $25,000 for the project. The matter was side-tracked in the debate as to the proper method of handling such industrial development fund. A couple of months ago a municipal Halloween celebration was promoted ostensibly to boost Indianapolis and add to the city’s fame. The promoters talked volubly of the magnificent S2OO cup to be awarded to the best out-of-town float in the parade. The cup turned out to be, at the most liberal estimate, a S2O article —spurned by the winner—our neighbor "city, Franklin. Asa city boosting enterprise the Halloween affair has a kick-back that dislocates our civic shoulder. Indianapolis will continue to grow in size and commercial importance. But its development would be startling if city boosting was taken up as earnestly and whole-heartedly and with, the spirit that it is by every insignificant Florida village.

They’re Booing Red Grange rriND now the grand stands are beginning to I.4*J boo Ked Grange. In one city after another it is happening. A dispirited young man, after thirty or forty minutes of ordinary football playing, during which he fails to demonstrate any of the qualities that made him the country’s athletic hero, walks unevenly across the field and huddles himself in a blanket on the sidelines. “Boo ! ”' moans the crowd. "Boo! 800-oo! 800-00-oo ! ” The bruised and weary, but still stouthearted, young redhead draws his blanket more tightly about him and wonders whether after all it is worth the money. He may work out the answer for himself. If he does he will learn more than the university from which he comes was able to teach him, and so his experience will be profitable beyond the money he is making. There was much criticism of this hefty half back when he left school to take up professional football. Some seemed to think it was 'a highly unethical thing for him to do, this turning of his college reputation into cash. \fith that view we have not sympathized. If Red could give value for the money received, value in the form of entertainment to the public,, there seemed little reason to oppose his following in the footsteps of Walter Johnson and other famous persons who are paid well for performing in their own line better than other men. A practical question has now arisen as to his ability to give his expected performance once a day. Football cannot be

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESON Paul Arrives in Rome as a Prisoner to Preach Gospel |

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 13: Paul in Meiita and Rome.—Acta 28 : 16-24. 30By William E. Gilroy Editor of The Congregationalist R n " OME at last! It had long been the goal of Paul’s longing ■ BUt under what strange circumstances he has come! And under what even stranger cit-cumstances is hh established In that city! He has turvived the perils of shipwreck and oilier dangers, but he is in Rome as. an“ prisoner; and yet as a prisoner ifndor surprising circumstances. *We associate with Rome a certain sfense of justice, for much of modern l&w has developed through Roman law and practice, but in all ancient justice we are disposed to see accompanying elements of cruelty and ior Humanitarian sentiment. It is all the more surprising, therefore, to find Paul, though a prisoner, allowed a large measure of freedom; permitted, for instance, to gbide in his own house with a soldier appointed to guard him, and apparently allowed full liberty to re belve his friends and communicate With them. | For two whole years we are told lie lived thus in his own hired dwellng, and apparently his place of abode was' the center of a large concourse of people This arrangement

played as frequently as baseball. This question rests entirely between Red and his manager. It may mean a change in his schedule ivhereby he will play only as often as he can play well. But of his right to play for money, so long as people want to pay to see him play, there can be no doubt. We hope an ethical sense may be born in Grange as a result of his present slump in popular favor. Then what his great university failed to do for him life itself will have done. Modern American Universities have not a great deal to be proud of on this score. From president down to the hired trainers who give the boys their alcohol rub before and after the games, they are so busy capitalizing brawn for the glory—in other words, advertising—of the school (to say nothing of the stadium gate receipts), that they have little time to spend on either brain or character. They train the boys to win gridiron battles and leave them to train themselves for the battle of life.

Is Love or Hate Our PortiQn? ITH all due deference to the Nation’s W Chief Executive, we cannot subscribe to President Coolidge’s belief, stated in his message to Congress, that there is now “a fifmer friendship between America and the rest of the world than has ever existed at any previous time.” In many respects our foreign relations have seldom been more embroiled, under the orderly surface, nor contained more elements of uncertainty and, yes, even of menace, than they do today. Figuratively speaking, the entire world is standing off watching us. The love-light is conspicuously absent from its eyes. Instead, there is envy, suspicion and fear. Suddenly, from a Nation which the great foreign powers were not inclined to take any too seriously, we have blossomed forth into the richest, mightiest Nation on the globe, and —let us not forget this —the creditor of them all. The signs are not wanting, even at this early stage of the game, of a certain tendency among foreign powers to form some sort of combine against us, economical I}’ 1 }’ at least. In Europe one hears the charge openly made that America is "buying up” the world. The other day, in Brussels, the Belgian Cabinet tottered, and almost fell, over the accusation that it was allowing "Wall Street” to dictate even its domestic policy. And not the least odd thing about the incident was that the Premier acknowledged the corn to a certain extent and came back at hi.; accusers with: "And what would YOU do? Accept that, or suffer financial disaster to overtake the country?” This is merely one of many similar episodes happening all over the world almost every day. Nor do we recall them in any critical way. We merely wish to make it plain that we Americans are far from being the objects of the world’s unalloyed adoration. We cannot escape, even if we would, the consequences of our position—unless, indeed, we give away our .riches, make ourselves poor again and sink back to the obscure place we used to occupy in the community of nations. Towers are measured by their shadows. The biggest men have the bitterest enemies. The greatest nations are the most disliked because the most envied. What America must do is to recognize these things and face the music, striving, at the same time, with all her might, to give foreign powers as little real cause for their dislike as she possibly can. Which is why we need the biggest, brainiest foreign minister, or Secretary of State, possible to procure.'

allowed him great opportunity for missionary activity. Not only is this opportunity reflected in the tradition that the soldiers who guarded Paul were brought under the power of his preaching and were so strengthened in'character apd purpose that th/ey became known as the "Thundering Legion,” but Paul also came speedily into touch with the Jewish community in Rome. ■ They came to his house apparently in great numbers, and Paul told them the story of his arrest—assuring them of his complete innocence. News traveled slowly in those days and Paul’s accusers apparently had not as yet sent word to Rome concerning the grounds for their hostility to him. The Jews in Rome were, therefore, ready to have a somewhat open mind in response to his preaching although many of them were evidently prejudiced by the fact that they had heard of the Christians as u sect “everywhere spoken against.” Paul's earnestness and their willingness to listen are shown in the record that when they came in great numbers to his lodging, he spoke to them “from morning until evening” expounding his conceptions of the Kingdom of God and seeking to per-

suade them from the Jewish scripture concerning Jesus of Nazareth. * What wonderful discussions have taken place In that little lodging house in Rome! One catches glimpses of the spirit of this ministry in Rome and of these gatherings through our Golden Text: “As much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also, for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Paul had written this to the Romans long before he had ever seen the “Eternal City.” If he had any unholy pride It was perhaps his pride in the fact that he was a Roman citizen. There was something about the imperial splendor and power of Rome that dazzled his Imagination, but might against might, power against power, Paul was not ashamed to preach the gospel In Rome Itself. What inspiration there ought to be to us of this modern day to live nobly when we see a man who was a prisoner thus rising above all circumstances and difficulties and turn ing an unfavorable environment Into an occasion of glory and triumph!

A Sermon for Today

Text: "Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.” —Rom. 12:15. rpi HIS text is A good definition i | 1 of the word sympathy. >■ i ■ J Sympathy in its broadest sense means rejoicing with them that rejoice and weeping with them that weep. The word means literally a fellow-feeling with others in whatever befalls them, whether it be sad or joyous. f There are some who are glad enough to rejoice with them that rejoice, but never turn aside to weep with them that weep. There are some who make a great show .of their fellow-feeling for the man on top, but never show any fellow-feeling for the man down and out. Those kind of sympathizers usually have an ax to grind. While a fellow-feeling for the prosperous man is entirely appropriate, it should not denied to

RIGHT HERE

IN INDIANA

By GAYLORD NELSON

A CHAMPION READER jARROLL WORTIIINGTor of Noblesville, ’tis said, hat i___ read 500 books during th< past year. He is the best patrol 01 that city's public library— ant Is probably the champion readei of Indiana. That record ought to make a lot of so-called bookworms cuTl up. Yet reading is only his avocation. He works daytimes and reads evenings for recreation, entertainment and amusement. Os course, many of the volumes he reads must be pretty light literary fodder to he devoured at that speed. Some eminent authorities claim there aren't 500 worthwhile books in the world. Dr. Eliot thought a five-foot shelf would hold the books really necessary for a liberal education. Lincoln —said his law partner—probably ne%’er read a book clear through. Outside of Bums, Byron anti Shakespeare his knowledge of general literature was limited. But he did very well despite his lack of acquaintance with books. Other men who read only the Bible and patent medicine almanacs have achieved enviable distinction. So perhaps reading 500 books doesn’t mean much from an educational or cultural standpoint. It Us not how much but how well one reads that matter. But one who has a taste for reading and spends every evening with a book finds Enjoyment and entertainment at nis own fireside. He isn’t holding up filling stations or pedestrians or loafing around poolrooms planning a white mule escapade. Indiana would be better If It had more book-an-evening young men. auto thefTdaV IN COURT SHIRTEEN young men—ranging in age from 16 to 26 —faced Judge Collins in Criminal Court Thursday on charges of vehicle taking and drew sentences from one day in jail to one year in the State Reformatory. It was truly auto theft day In Criminal Court. The average age of the thirteen offenders was 21 years and the average sentence six months. Which would indicate that the judge doesn’t look with favor even on those who simply surreptitiously borrow an automobile for an evening’s joy ride. Certainly vehicle taking is one of our most serious as well as popular crimes. An overwhelming majority of hold-ups, bank robberies, bandit depredations and all the new and fashionable crimes are performed in stolen automobiles. With monotonous regularity press reports of crimes contain the phrase “the machine used was stolen from So-and-so.” Just as theater programs always state, “Gowns in this production furnished by John Doe.” Consequently stealing an auto is not only debilitating to the owner, but to society. It is the preliminary maneuver for further acts of outlawry. It may be impracticable to hang all auto thieves after the manner of treating horse thieves in the old days of the West. But if some inventor would perfect a nonstealable automobile, or If all machines could be trained to run screaming to their owners when approached by a thief, hold-ups, bandits and hank robbers would pretty near go out of business.

ABATING THE SMOKE NUISANCE 1 ING AN & COMPANY was found guilty and fined $25 in city court Thursday for violation of the city smoke code. This is the second large IndianapollH Industrial concern to be convicted this fall under the smoke ordinance that was to give power to the city's smoke abatement campaign. Both verdicts were appealed. So at best In the only two cases brought Into court the city scored nothing more than a moral victory. Hasn’t even collected the $25 fines assessed In each case. If the new ordinance has ferocious teeth, as asserted, it hasn’t displayed them. Two arrests and two appeals in four months won't have any effect visible to the naked eyo on our city atmosphere. This fall the Indianapolis morning sun has had a chocolate brown complexion Just as In past yeans. The smoke nuisance still crawls In the public eye and the private ear. At the present rate’ of abatement the nuisance won’t be bleached to an albino before the nation’s ecu.! reserves are consumed. For years city smoke inspectors devoted themselves assiduously to writing warning notes to offenders. •The® only improved the stamp

the man who has fallen Into adversity. It is all right to stand In with those who are high up, but It is better still to stand ioy the fellow in hard luck If anybody needs your friendship and sympathy, that man does. Human sympathy Is the secret of all happy human relationships. It Is a secret business men need'to learn. I do not believe the man in business needs to be cold and hard. He loses nothing by a sympathetic consideration of others. If your competitor, or a fellow-citizen in any other line of business, Is prosperous and successful, don’t be envious of him, but give him the glad hand of congratulation and rejoice with him in his rejoicing. If any fellowbusiness man meets with adversity and failure, don’t turn your back on him, but give him a helpfuj hand of encouragement and weep with him in his weeping. Copyright, 1925, by John R.

A couple of conpicuous corporations cited to court >ut no attempt to arrest apartnent house owners or the numer)us small private offenders. If the city smoke inspector isn’t roing to make any more use of the new, heavily fanged smoke ordinance than that, he might just as well go back to the note writing of yesteryear, and let the smoke nuisance enjoy Itself.

MR. FIXIT Reader Says Stopped Sewer Causes Water to Stand in Street.

Let Mr. Fixit present your ease to city officials. He is The Times' representative at the city hall. Write him at The Time*. There are quite a few water drops gathered together* at Twenty-First St. and Sherman Dr. because a sewer is stopped up, Mr. Fixit was advised today. DEAR MR. FIXIT—One of the Street Car Company busses got in a side ditch at Twenty-First St. and Sherman Dr. a few nights ago. To get it out they gathered all the rocks, bricks and railroad ties they could find and left them in the ditch. Now they have stopped my private sewer and the sewer that crosses TwentyFirst St. I lave waded water boottop deep, shoveling mud off the top of the manhole to this sewer. BARNHART FILLING STATION. W. P. Hargon will inform Walter Monroe, who has charge of sewers, and repairs soon will be made. Similar action will be taken about a blocked sewer in the alley back of 2119 N. Illinois St. Mr. Fixit has bad news for A TIMES READER. Lack of money in the present administration has caused all workmen on streets to be dismissed. Therefore, there is no relief for citizens near Belmont Ave. and W. Ohio St. Write Mr. Fixit early next year.

Is there such a thing as colored snow? Yes. It has been seen in Greenland and on the mountains in southern Europe. The usual color is red or green, the coloration being due to minute organisms known as protococcus nivalis. A yellowish deposit has also been precipitated from snow, which examination has shown to be the pollen of pin© trees. What 1s papyrus? It was the writing paper of the ancient Egyptians.

To Care for Begonias

Easy to Get Booze in Ottawa

Editor's Note: This Is the eighth of a serlos of articles by Mr. Gardner reporting the operation of liquor laws in the various provinces of Canada. By Gilson Gardner ; TTAWA (By Mail>—How hard fll Is it to get a bottle of liquor in this "dry” capital of Canada? "In five minutes and for 5 cents we will be where you can get your bottle and slip it Into your pocket. In fifteen minutes you will be back here and may drink it at your leisure. Will you come along?” My new acquaintance, a long time resident -of Ottawa, was cordial. “Is it safe?” "I will pay the fine if It turns out badly.” For the pufrposes of this article I -will say that I was convinced, but will not say whether I was a party to a violation of law. Apparently nothing is easier. You step on an electric car, You are at once in Hull. You step into the Quebec liquor commission’s government store. You buy your little bottle for $1.40. You remove the wrapper and put It Into the capacious waste paper basket provided for that purpose. You slip the bottle into your pocket, walk around the block, if you need the exercls.e and get the next car back.

When the Indian speaks of “a sleep” what does he mean? Indians refer to a night as “a sleep.” They often speak of “three sleeps” for “three nights.” Can you tell me something about French Lick and West Baden? The springs at French Lick and West Baden are only a few hundred feet apart, in a small valley that has every appearance of having been formed by some convulsion of nature. The valley is surrounded by hills of a uniform height and looks as if at some time the ground had sunk a hundred feet or more, and from this sunken ground the health-giving waters flow from many springs, all having medicinal properties. The valley Is almost always surrounded by a heavy mist. Great hotels have been erected and hundreds of invalids annually resort to them to drink of the waters. The altitude of French Lick Is 524 feet above sea level, and that of .AVest Baden Is 330 feet.

No effort is made —so it would seem—to Inspect, or In any way check up the stream of traffic across the little bridge. Hundreds of street car travelers, hundreds of automobiles are going and coming day and night.' The two stores maintained in Hull do a land office business. If caught it is a SSO “and two" fine for a first offender (the “and two" is costs) and S3OO, with possibly jail term, for a hardened offender. Or you may drink without bootlegging, beer at 20 cents or excellent wine at 60 cents a bottle, at "Onrys” as the French call it, meaning in English Henry’s Case, a very treasure of a place in Hull. It is clean, quiet, respectable and as yet undiscovered by the American tourist. Its French cooking is something to think about afterward. Fish done as at Margeries in Paris or Marconi's in Baltimore, at half the price; or a steak with French fried onions to color the dreams of an epicure. Between provinces It is quite impossibihe to check the flow of drink. Trains ryn in three hours from Montreal to Ottawa. No pretense is made of inspecting the baggage of passengers on them.

The liquor comes over in rowboats across the Ottawa river.

Os course, there Is no corner saloon, and no public serving oti drink in hotels or restaurants in On- ’ tario cities. • In sentiment the cities are all "W'et.” Each election has cut down * the prohibition majority until a margin of something like 180,000 was last fall reduced to 31,000. But the vote of the rural sections has so far prevented a "wet" majority. There has been talk of an effort bw the “drys” to try* to get the "Unite® States” brand of prohibition by a Federal law; but In view of the strong drift of public opinion lately in favor of the "Quebec plan” of government monopoly and control,, such a plan Is hopeless.
