KNOW-YOUR STATE INDIANA usles annually approximately 2,500,000 tons of fuel mined in this State for the production of electric current and energy. The proximity of the finest quality of coal, more than any other factor, has contributed to power rate low enough to interest Industrialists from all over the country.

THAT FIGHT TONIGHT It takes a spectacle such as will be enacted at. Philadelphia tonight to give us a perspective on our/ selves. 1 , More than one hundred and thirty thousand men and women will pay nearly two millions o£ dollars to watch-two pugilists engage in a boxing match. They pay the money in the hope that one or the other will land a punch that brings unconsciousness. -'The courts of the great State of Pennsylvania, investigating a. charge that Dempsey was a slacker on his private contracts, asked what would happen to the people that bought tickets, if they should stop the fight by injunction. They were not interested in the sacredness of private contract^. The profits from the fight will ffelp out a bankrupt celebration of 150 years of independence, in the city Adhere the great Declaration was signed. But Dempsey, champion pug, is not interested in that fact. He will get more so- his hour in the ring, if it lasts that Iflpg, than will the centennial committee. So will a promoter in New York who manages the affair and succeeded in getting Pennsylvania officials enthusiastic and tractable. The thou-ands who go to see this meeting will be respectable and law abiding. But tomorrow if any moving picture exhibitor carries a fight film across a State line, *he becomes liable to arrest and punishment under a Federal law. Tonight the radio and wires will carry news of the matter, blow by blow, apd every one will be able to use imagination and supply the mental pictures. N Carrying the actual moving photographs is a cilme. v In every State there are laws against prize fighting and if any encounter ought to be considered a real fight, it is this one. J But in every State the laws permit boxing matches and so we turn our attention away from these events and call them by a milder name. Incidentally, it is because of the Illegality of prize A fights that promoters are able to charge as high as SSO for admission. That distinction peynjitp bootleg prices fflT this sort of entertainment'. Some day we may become honest and logical enough to say that we like to see men contest for physical supremacy, cut out the bunk and the fake morality behind” the regulatory laws, and perqHt legislation to really reflect public opinion. WHEN ‘ ‘ HERB ’ ’ WENT HOME Into what strange currents our lives are carried! How far we progress from childhood's association, early halfiormed dreams, from those shadowy visions of the great world that lay beyond our youth! Herbert Hoover must have had some such thoughts a'S these when he recently revisited his old home at Newberg, Ore. What did the "average boy," Herbert Hoover, think of the great outside world in which his name was to become a byword, in which he was to take control of about the greatest bhsiness it had? There is some sentiment in us all that leads us to cherish the memory%f childhood HooVer admits he has it, and that he made the trip for no other sake than to indulge that feeling. / He came unheralded, the secretary of commerce, with no more hurrah than a man with a gripful of Sidney pills. It was as he wished his return to be, with no unheaval except that of his own heart. Old friends met him. He spent three hours with a teacher of his boyhood, a teacher to whom he was known as just "a boy who was a great reader." He had been orphaned when quite young, and there were those who had been kind to him. He communed with his friehds, but his most important meeting was that inner encounter he must have had with his boyhood dreams. It doesn’t take much to bring memories flooding back—an old tree, a rickety fence, a house, a room. We wonder if Hoover, looking back into the far off past, found some inkling of'those ideas of his youth which led to his vast success in the world outside Newberg. A day, perhaps, when he had gazed on a long freight train, carrying its tiny part of the ' commerce oil which was Yo become a ruling power? Tj’here is a common touch in the memory of youth. An old scene, a forgotten rendezvous, must have brought back to Hoover a realization of how small the world is, after all, for- a Newberg boy to , go out and master the leadership of its puffing trains and boats that carry the products of the earth from one corner to another. Hoover muqt have felt then, keenly, that life, after all, is not so far removed from Newberg, Ore., as the great concerns so the /world woirtd make it seem. - - , , ** / RADIO AND THE FIGHT' ' who are not in' Philadejphia tonight will visjjimze the big fight, blow by blow, amj we probably will have a better mental picture than thousands of those in the big stadium—thanks to the radio. We at least will be sitting comfortably and we won’t have to be yelling constantly, “Down in front!" But me won’t owe Mr. Tex Rickard any thanks. Riakard's surprising commercialization of the broadcasting gives a sort of sour taste to the proceeding. The this spirit in radio heretofore has been one of its attractive features. The air is free and the radio-public has profited theTSby. World series, big football games, presidential speeches and other big events have come to us through air and no one ever has thought of forcing broadcaster** to pay. It is not like selling seats for an event at which a limited number of seats are available. The stadium is filled anyway, and obviously the,entire population cart’t be transferred*tq thq> fight. Mr. Rickard s eagerness ta add additional thousands to his profits—and his 'ultimatum that newspapers cannot broadcast the returns despite,the fact that he owes his success to free publicity in newspapers—will not establish a precedent, it is to be

hoped. The radio public would be the chief sufferers in such case. , t • THE PRESIDENT APPOINTS Within a few days President Coolidge will have another vacancy ttj fill in the Federal Trade Commission. , The term of (Commissioned Huston Thompson will expire. His reappointment is out of the question, since he has been in confliot with Coolidge policies from th.e time that Coolidge first began to mold; llie trade commission nearer to his heart's desire. It will .be interesting to the President now appointees. . * • About six weeks ago he named Abram Meyers to succeed Commissioner Van Fleet, resigned. Who is Abram Meyers? April 7, of thiA year, the Federal Trade Commission dropped an of the Continental Baking Company. A few weeks earlier the Department olVffusMce had begun an anti-trust suit against the Continental company. April 8 Attorney General Sargent dropped' this suit, making himself party to a "consent decree” entered in the Federal Court at Baltimore. The rea•son given to the court —onp trade commission investigation had been dropped—was that the Continental was then being investigated by the trade commission. \ The attorney general knew the investigation had been dropped. He had been informed by special messenger the day it was done. He knew in advance it was going to be done. The “consent releasing the Continental company from further prosecution or investigation, was drawn up after a conference b'etween certain members of the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. , Who is Abram Meyers? At the time this strange performance was being enacted he was an attorney in the trust division of the Department of Justioe. And he is the man who drew up that notorious “consent decree." . U. T | UNTIL THE NEW DAY “If the millennium were here or the Golden Rule were the universal guide, therefwould be no need of either a league court.’’ One of the arguments made against the World Court and the League of Nations by its opponents is the old animosities, Jealousies and selfish in terests still survive in the world, particularly In Europe. Man is not yet sufficiently advanced, according to this theory, for an institution like the league. Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, offers the answer to this view in the sentence quoted above. The Senator seems to put the case in a nutshell. If the opposite view were Sogical, then we should abolish our courts, police and other agencies of adjustment and protection, leaving mankind to settle its private disagreement with brickbats, knives guns. v GIVE TODAY The appeal from Florida for immediate aid should be given a generous answer, especially in this city. • Among those who are in that unfortunate area of devastation are many from Indiana. The need there is immediate and great. The Red Cross announces five millions of dollars are necessary t save hitman life and prevent untold misery which always follows a catastrophe of this sort. ' / A month, or three months or six months hence, this unfortunate district will be on its way back to happiness and prosperity. But today there are human beings who need food and medidlhes and decent drinking water and clothing. The dollars for which the Red Grqss asks mean the saving of human lives. I Tomorrow tliat contribution which you intend to make may be too late. For beath does not wait. Give today. The road to success leads in/the opposite direction from the road to excess. A big blotter pad protects the top of your desk aT* most as much as rubber heels. IT’S NO USE TALKING TO A ' HUSBAND By Mrs. Walter Ferguson ■ A man got a divorce the other day because, as he charged, his wife had nagged at him for eleven years. Surely he deserves freedom. If there is anything worse under heaven than a persistent nagger we have not yet encountered it. t Many women ruin the happiness of their homes by this fpolish habit. They fondly imagine that by talking to a man they can make him over, when the truth is that nobody can (jo this save God, and He never attempts it. Nagging is a form of nervous disorder. It is usually the women w'ho are not strong physically who are best at it. They start the minote anybody gets in the house arid if their husbands are not there, they take it out on the children. A boy who is continually being admonished finally gets so he doesn’t even hear what is being said to him. Husbands are the same. Asa matter of fact, you can db more with a man by keeping your mouth shut than in any other way. No word has ever been created that will really influence husbands. They always-do about as they please regardless of wifely admonitions, and the only thing you can do if you have a man whom you wish to reform is to pray. Prayer may help some, but talking never will. Silence is undoubtedly golden w-hen its corned to* managing families. Say little, and when you do speak people listen to you. Aryl men will never be greatly changed so far as habife are concerned by anything a woman does. Oply old age or illness ever really makes them over. v And as this fact is true in individual instances, it is not false regarding mankind/ collectively. This if the reason why loud-mouthed reformers littlq, headway upon their vociferous pathway, jr or personalities run true to form, and wMte it Is possible for man to improve himself whille upon the earth, in the main he'goes Vo his grave w'ith the same characteristics which he brought with him into this life He bears w ithin himself the possibilities of his destiny and j mily he is able to have dominion over himself. You i y be married to a man, but this wilj not give you ; power to change his nature.

Tracy i x , . Pugilism,Has Gotten Into Society's Front Pew, ‘

By M. E. Tracy Pugilism has gotten into society right. The bcYt~botels and attorneys stand ready to entertain it, hat m Have they grown suddenly tolerant, qr have the gate receipts made a favorable impression? Mr. Dempsey will receive $450,000 and Mr. Tuinney nearly half as much tor a few moments of fisticuffs tonight. providing judge doesn't \ John L. Sullivan never dreamed of such a purse. Neither did his'neignj bors. They might have felt differently toward tiim if they had. ! At that, Jbhn L. was a pretty man, and lived to be better loved after his defeat than before it. If he had won more moiyy he might have had to do with less affection and respect. v _ -I- -I- -I- . Do Brains Count Much? * It is a great thing to tip champion of the world, even though It ‘can't last more than a few years. A man can be a -great statesman at 80, or a £reat general, but not a great fighter. , Thoge who go In for physical glory land onThe scrap heap young. Why is this so if it takes so much brains as some say? -I- -I- -I- v Glory and Gore It is a great thing to a rham- ! pionship bout, even though you have nothing to cqtry but some bruLsal memories. * . Men hayg enthused over it since the world began the thud of- fist [against flesh, tbe sweat and snort of exhaustion* the gray pallor of defeat, the Hush of victory. Tradition schools them to the thought that the conflict brings out the best, and that a human being .can’t re;J*r climb unless he crushes somebody. Triumphs of the mind are still regarded as too academic to be interesting. The competition of thinkers has few victims and we cannot seem to see glory withput pain. If we could, we might all liecome cowards, and, that would he had, since Civilization can never,, hop" to become so intellectual, or spiritual, as not to need courage. • -I-”-!- -I-. Daring Counts | Courage is the basic element of .progress. It Is notytnly what men [think, but what they dure that cariles the world niiead. It took no courage, jterhaps, for Columbus to dream that the world was round, but it took a lot forjiim Jo tell that dreaitf, and It took tixot mdre to prove it. And don't think for one moment that science does not require courage. with its conflict of theories, its experiments and tests. Thousands of 'men have died that vve might fly arjd more thousands have ‘faced 'the risk of dying. There Is hardly an invention or | discovery of note but wtgit took life in the making. •i- -I- + Pioneers Still Here is Fonck. still planning to cross the Ajlantica though his Jirst attempt proved a dismal failure and I resulted in two deaths. Here are prosess 3rs at' Leland Stanford Univer.dty playing with electricity by the million volts, a power that would kill them instantly if anything went wrong. Here are no less than 250 expeditions going to the far corners of the earth for knowledge facing all kinds of discomfort and disease. •I- 'l* + Bravery Must Be Tested Call the Dempsey-Tunney tight by the worst names you can think, of and still it stands for courage. Boys who read about it may be a little coarser for the time being, but they will be more courageous in the end. Men who paid their good dollars to see it may feel a touch of the brute temporarily, but they won’t be quite so timid. Those who think we can be brave without some form of physical expression, without struggle and test -by which to set standards hold an impossible ideal.

I ' 'Roosevelt’s Secret Lack of courage la one thing that makes politics corrupt. There* are too many men on the job that cannot handle their bodies and that tlbn’t dare handle their minds. Roosevelt was unafraid morally, largely because he had schooled himself to be unafraidnhysically. The sarae Is true of Governor Pinchot. Pinchot-says his father made him learn how to box. and that it had a lot to do with developing his character. i A boy who doesn't know how to fight may thy it once, but after that he is likely not to. There is a definite relationship between cdurage and skill. -|- -u.|. Practice for Life We may be getting too much money into this game of prize fighting, just as we are into some other sports, but that has nothing to do with the value of the thing itself. We simply eanpot tie our boys to an apron string, or a textbook. expect them to become men. VThe real battle is with nature, of course, but how are we going to learn to fight nature, without a little practice on each other, and where will we get the inspiration to practice If strong men are not given the chance to show their prowess. How can I find out if a certain man is serving in the United States Army? t 0 Information ohncerning enlisted men can be obtained by applying to | the Adjutant General, War Depart-1 ment, Washington, D. C. As there are hundreds of names in the War I Department files it is necessary to ! give. the man’s full name, date and i i place of enlistment, and ajl available | details concerning his A l rmy service.

Looking at Most Expensive Hands in the World at the Sesquicentennial

By Walter D. Hickman Hands! Never have I seen such expensive hands! >. Where? In the Fine Arts Building at the Sesquicentennial Exposition at Philadelphia. Probably the greatest maker of hands is responsible for this collection of hands. 4 Hands! Hands with big sounding titles. Hand3 that invite respect and fear, \ * , These are all Rodin hands. Hands sculptured by Rodin and a part of the Rodin Museum of the Jules E. Mastbaum Foundation. The exposition introduces them to you as Studies of Hands. The titles reflect the mood of Rodin. Such titles as "The Hand vof the Devil,” “Hand of the Tomb,” “The Hand of God," "Two Hands," ‘The. Cathedral’’ and “The Secret.” •> I stood for minutes before “The Hand of Qtjd.'' I felt as if my very •gpirit as well my body was reflected in the hand. It took me some time to absorb the spirit and the Intent of'this study. Hands. Hands. Hands. In- daily life we obey the signals of the hands of police. • the highway we look for hands. And so in the art world there is a profound respect for the work of Rodin. of people linger many mlmnes, some even for hours before the collection of Rodin, which is valued at $150,000 and then some. At that I am convinced that Rodin speaks a universal language. It may take a little time to understand him. but this exhibit alone is worth the ticket to Philadelphia. Indiaqr. is represented in this really big exhibit of works of art. I stood for minutes before “Firenza" in gallery forty-two. This is the work of Randolph La Sallq Coats of Indianapolis. It bas been placed in a commandi%g position and am sure that every visitor to this gallery will mentally recall with pleasure the beauty of this canvas. You will recall that I reproduced “Firenza” In this department some months ago. Here In Town Have received the following items 1 of interest fVom J.
