Checking Up the Fire Laddies With the i:\nnounceraent that engineers of the National Boaro of Fire Underwriters are coining to Indianapolis soon to make the regular survey of (Ire fighting facilities and personnel the city 'will have another opportunity to observe In black and white what effect politics has upon municipal service. The underwriter engineers, Indianapolis knows after a four-year struggle with them over insurance rating eiuliug two years ago, do not care a tinkers dam whethe r the city administration is Republican or Denyoera lc. What they want to know and what they lVnd out is: "Are the insurance rates high enou£h? Not low enough. High enough. The engineers are lemployed by the insurance companies and if the fire department is honeycombed with incompetent men, if equipment is obsolete and worn out. they soon vian tell. Naturally, the insurance companies want to know this. Indianapolis wants to know how the fire department is getting along, too. Every one who cares whether the roof stays over his head or burns off will be interested in what the engleers find out. Os course, almost every citizen would he pleased to have the engineers find things in tip top form. Lower Insurance rates would be welcomed. The average taxpayer remembers that it cost quite a lot to get Indianapolis in its present rating as a class one and one-half city. Ho remembers that the Jewett board of safety, A. L. Taggart. Felix McWhirter and Henry L. Dithmer, listened patiently to the long list of recommendations for a better fire department which the engineers submitted about six years ago and then set to work. This board motorized the tire department, relocated some fire stations, rebuilt some, put the two-platoon system into effect and did a lot of other necessary things which cost well over $500,000. But the underwriters kept finding other things wrong with the fire department so that, it was not until four years later, after the Shank board of safety—Ernest L. Kingston, Jesse S. Sisloff and Elmer l' - . Gay—had 1 carried on the work, that the underwriters advanced the city’s rating. Certainly the present hoard will not only want to keep the present rating but go after a higher. Now that wo know the underwriters are coming to look us over everything possible should be done to make the fire department shipshape. Can Yon Trust Men? You don’t know’ whom you can trust these days, do you? Every fellow out for himself, willing to cut under you for his own personal gain. Well, let’s get out of here. Go somewhere where you can trust your fellow man. But it's a bad night to go out. Dark, stormy and windy. What's that big line overhead? Oh, merely a high tension wire with enough electricity in it to kill hundreds of persons. But you didn’t think a thing of walking under It. You knew that the lineman had made it safe. Now we’ll get in a taxi and ride to the station. Got to hurry, if we’re to catch the train. This fellow certainly knows how to drive. Takes a steady hand to keep out of a crash, but we’ll not worry about that. Bump! Big bole in the street. Terrific strain on the springs and the car. But nothing breaks, men at forge and lathe had done their work well. The others who fastened the nuts and bolts w’hen t.he car w r as assembled did their w r ork. We trust our lives to them whenever we ride in a. fast car. Well, here we are at the station. We crawl into our berths and go peacefully to sleep. The train plows on through the dark and storm. One man at the throttle holds the lives of hundreds in his hand. Water streams against the glass through which he peers out at the right of way. One signal missed and destruction awaits. But we sleep on. Yet some other man. a nonentity in the cosmic scheme, has seen to it that all signal lights are bumnig. And other obscure toilers who have repaired the track that day have gauged it and fastened It in its proper place. Our lives have been held in their grimy hands. And so it goes. Every day we trust our lives to our fellow men, men in far-off places, men whom we never see, men who in the routine of their breadwinning are their brothers’ keepers. Oh, yes, there are some men you can trust!

Example of Tolerance The Near Bast., cradle of religions, and breeding ground for racial and religious hatreds, has just turnlshed an example of tolerance from which the western world might well profit. Jews, Christians and Moslems by the thousands thronged Jerusalem at Easter tide, the cables tell us, all bent on the glorification and worship of God. They came from Jaffa and the Jordan valley, and across the plains of Sharon, by train or auto, on animals, and afoot. They mingled together in peace, and each worshiped in his own way, without hindrance. The Christians gathered about the place of the crucifixion and other spots hallowed by the Saviour. Moslems prayed where Mohammed had raised his voice to God. The Jews wept beside the walls of their ancient temple. Jews, Greeks, Turks, Arabs, Europeans, Americans, brushed elbows throughout the holy week. The climax came on Easter Sunday when thousands of visitors in the city Jammed the Via Dolorosa and In the sepulchre held lighted candles and cried, “Christ is risen!'* The angels must have smiled. One Benefit of War Nearly all the angles of the World War have been exploited, but here is an entirely new one—the kwar saved many lives. ■l That is upon the authority of Dr. Charles M. H|yo. Discoveries in medical surgery during the Hp*. Dr, Mayo says, has resulted in the saving of

as many lives as were lost upon the battlefields. When It Is considered that 45,000 doctors from America were drawn to the fields of action, and there took their "post-graduate” work, the statement does not seem strange. The best medical thought of Europe and America met and cooperated during the war, resulting in a wonderful advance for the profession as a whole. The King Washes Beggars’ Feet King Alfonso and his queen got into the papers Just before Easter by washing the feet of a couple of dozen beggars. Afterward they stuffed the fortunate wretches with food, paid for by the grandees and the ladies of the court. The king could get a lot more publicity if he’d say, "This war of ours in Africa must stop. I will no longer countenance sending ignorant conscripts from the provinces to be butchered by the Riffs. Our airplanes must stop dropping bombs on Riffian women and children whose menfolk, after all, ask nothing more than the right to govern their own country themselves. Our cannons must end their bombardment of Riffian towns.” But the king won't say that. Maybe he couldn’t if he wanted to. The foot-washing performance is a pleasing enough Christian gesture of humility, hurting no one and amusing many. But Christian philosophy, somehow or other, won’t dictate discontinuance of a futile and unjust war. And, of course, the king and his grandees don’t have to march in Africa.

The surest way is to leave no food lying about on shelves or in open places where ants can reach it. They go where they can find food, and if the household supplies are kept in metal containers and tightly covered jars, or in ice boxes, the ants can not feed and therefore will not stay. Cakes, bread, sugar and meat are equally attractive to ants and should be kept out of their reach. Stray crumbs and bits of food on the floor also attracts ants. Frequent sweeping helps. Tartar emetic and powdered sugar in equal parts moistened with a bit of water and placed near their haunts will drive them away. Where the house is badly infested, the legs of tables, ice boxes and cupboards should be set in sahliow pans of water. Are cats found in all parts of the world? How long have they been household pete and domestic animals? Cats have been domestic animals and pets of man since before the beginning of human records. The ancient monuments of Egypt abound in relics showing tha* they w r ere prevalent as house pets when those monuments were built. In the Egyptian gallery of the British museum is a painting of a tabby cat that seems to be assisting a man in catching birds. The origin of the domestic, cat, however. Is little known. They are found in all parts of the world and although they vary In minor characteristics and in habits they are generally the same everywhere. Besides being pets they also have been used by man as guardians against, rats and mice in houses and granaries, and to protect the fields from birds that rob them of their seed. In Egypt cats were an object of worship in some of the temples. It was an emblem of the sun and its eyes were supposed to vary In appearance with the course of that body.

THE SOCIAL REGISTER Indiana is to have its social register, containing the names, etc., of the socially prominent in the State, a sort of lloosier F.lue Book, Burke’s Peerage and Who’s Who. Incorporation papers of the company that will publish the book were filed with the Secretary of State Tuesday. Now the effete East has nothing on us. We have all the trappings of high, correct and formal society. Our social register will prove that w r e have smart society, as well as butter-and-egg men and the ordinary garden variety of lloosier. No doubt the new publication will fill a long-felt want and will be a notable contribution to Indiana books. The absence of an authoritative list of those of recognized social standing has seriously handloappeu the State and inconvenienced folks. The register will save much embarrassment. When Mrs. Up and Up now invites you to dinner, you can find out whether she Is a mere nobody, with whom It would be a waste of time to associate, before you accept. If your neighbor's name isn't in the book you can assume a more haughty attitude than you w’ould otherwise. You can tell them what you really think of their radio. O, the publication will add greatly to the joy of living. But If your name isn't lisiert there, don't be despondent and end it all by Jumping in the river. There’ll boa lot of respectable, hardworking I-Tooslers who won't be listed. Abraham Lincoln never had his name in a social register; Kip Rhinelander did.

Harry Langdon Does Some Movie Talking While in the Big City

l Harry Langdon, comedian, who arrived in New York recently with the completed print of his feature length comedy, "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp." has some interesting ideas on the psychology of the laugh. In an interview he said: “In the first place the laugh Is the reflection of one's own frailties—of everyq one’s weakness. We think that we are laughing at the screen character, but it seems to me that we are laughing at ourselves. All children at heart, we know subconsciously that when we laugh at a pour boob, the victim of circumstances, -we put ourselves in the position of the poor boob. “To be successful in winning laughs one must be sincere. I can’t fool my audience and say, ‘I am funny and I’m going to make you laugh at me.’ I must feel my part. I must be wretched, and consequently ludicrous. Above all things. I must be a supreme optimist, suffering dumbly any harsh fa'e that may come my way. My optimism must, be so all-embracing, though pitiful, that nothing can ever rock it. When I do a part in film I must really Buffer. “Moreover, I like to have the audience in on what I am not in on. Things must be spontaneous during the making of a comedy. I write my own comedies and, so far a.s possible, the scenario is complete, but 60 per cent of the laughs are, nevertheless, bulit on the set.” “Mr. I/angdon, by the way. uses five “gag” men, and much of the fun consequently Is engineered by them during the making of the film. Stressing the idea that all persons are In some degree children at heart and unknowingly comedians, he said: “Suppose you were to interview a bank president in his office. You ( find him austere, dignified, unapproachable. He apparently is a cold individual with little of heart and no sense of humor. Yet on Sunday you run over to Coney Island and find him throwing baseballs at the dolls, riding the roller coaster, eating hot dogs and generally having the time of his life. He’s nothing but a big kid. Asa matter of fact, we are all nothing but big kids, only some either don't realize it or else refuse to admit it. The comedian simply capitalizes that side of human nature.” In a period of two years Mr. Bangdon made twenty-six two and threereel comedies for Mack Sennett.

badge of honor. Wear long skirts and win a badge is the plea. Maybe in Chicago there will be a concerted rush on the part of high school girls to earn badges. But we doubt it. And we know by casual observation that few such badges would be distributed in Indianapolis. No doubt those who devised the scheme of rewarding girls, who measure up to their specifications of maidenly modesty, mean well. The scantiness of attire now affected by maids and matrons is the subject of much distressed comment. Something must be done about it, declare the critics, or the foundations of society will crumble to dust. It is doubtful, however, if short skirts and silk stockings really are responsible for the unseasonable weather, the mad dog scare, the shooting of Mussolini, the failure of the League of Nations, bootlegging or any of the other ills that now afflict society. Clothing never had much to do with public morals or the rise and fall of civilizations. Why try to bribe the high school girls to lengthen their skirts? Most high school girls have ablebodied parente. And most of us are content to leave it up to the parents to prescribe* the length of skirt their daughters shall wear. MORE BUS ROUTES The Peoples Motor Coach Company has petitioned the public service commission for authority to operate four now bus routes and one feeder line connecting with one of its existing lines. The new routes planned would run from the Circle north ort Meridian and serve north side territory at present without transportation facilities. To say the least the bus company is a persistent optimist. It counts that day lost In which it doesn't approach the public service commission with an application for anew route. And almost

invariably it gets nothing but experience for Its ‘tftouble. - f * Every application it has presented has called forth protests and counter proposals to establish bus lines from the Indianapolis Street Railway. In almost every case the bus company has been denied and the street car system granted authority to establish the bus route petitioned for. Perhaps that's unintentional. . Presumably the public service commission decided each case solely on its individual merits. And it just happened that the Street Railway Company was uniformly successful and the Coach Company uniformly unsuccessful in being granted permits to establish new bus service. The public is not much interested in the fight between the independent bus company and the street car system over the establishment of bus lines. What the public wants is speedy comfortable transportation at a reasonable rate. It wants transportation facilities extended to sections of the city now’ inadequately served. It is significant that the street railw’ay company showed no inclination to improve its service, to extended its lines by rail or motor bus until It felt the prick of Independent bus competition. Consequently the entrance of the bus company Into the Indianapolis transit field has benefited the public. Such competition is worth encouraging. A FEW OF "HE MILLON Robertson MacGregor, executive secretary of the Real Estate Board, says: "Indianapolis is growing steadily." Since Jan. 1. according to figures compiled by the board. 355 new families have moved into the city and only eighty-seven have moved out. And this In the winter months, when normally the movement is out rather than into the city. So the 355 new families, while they don’t mean an astounding addition to a city of 375,000 population, are gratifying. They indicate city growth. They are a few of the million we talk enthusiastically about getting. But really the important thing In connection with the arrival of these newcomers is not that they add to our population. Are they glad they came? Do they find In Indianapolis advantages and opportunities they didn't have elsew’here? Do they like our schools, churches, recreational and cultural features and all the other complex factors that add or detract from the life of a community? Do they find Indianapolis a better place to live and raise a family than the towns from whence they came? The million population idea arouses enthusiasm. It is a mark for city boosters to shoot at. It means more business, more people. blggger buildings, more money In circulation. But more important than the size of the city’ Is its character and the soit of population It attracts. A most desirable place in which to live, not a million people, is the real goal.

As it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man. the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him But God hath revealed them unio us by his spirit: for the spirit search eth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is In him? Even so the things of God knoweth no' man. but the spirit of God. Now’ we have received, not the spirit of the world, hut the spirit which Is of God: that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak; not in the words which*nmn’s wisdom teaoheth, hut which the Iloly Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Thoughtful people will see in these words from Paul the reason for the spiritual blindness which so often beclouds the minds of the world's socalled intellectuals.
