MOKE PAY FOR SERVICE MEN Army, Navy and Coast Guard to Petition Congress. WASHINGTON, July 6.—The War. Department, Navy and Coast Guards are combining forces to ask Congress to make the triple service more attractive financially. A meeting between representatives of the three branches has been called for July 13 to prepare a legislative program for presentation at the next congressional session. Four distinctive changes in present military and naval regulations will be sought: 1. Family allowances for enlisted men up to S6O monthly such as were effective during the world war. 2. Compensation for death and disability. 3. Vocational rehabilitation for disabled service men similar to that given World War veterans. 4. A bonus of SIOO to be given each enlisted man at the expiration of his service. Congress also will be asked to enact legislation providing for a separate insurance policy for all service men, enlisted or commissioned, up to SIO,OOO, which will be distinct from and in addition to the World War insurance.

J am not sure that the chances are in favor of the patient, but neitier do I think the case is hopeless. “The question is whether civilization can generate from itself an anti-toxin which will get rid of the poison in its system before death overtakes it. “This anti-toxin must be of the moral and spiritual order. Nothing but anew heart and a 'new spirit can save us. * , GRAMLING RITES TO BE HELD FRIDAY MORNING City Tailor Was Trustee of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Funeral services fo* Eugene C.

A SATIRE ON MODERN Lin THROUGH THE UN Os TMC ANCIINtt TH€ PRIVAT6 LIF€ OF M€L€N OF TROY JOHN 6RSKIN& - %bhthcJ bn monomer} wiih notional PlcturoA Inc*.

The Characters HELEN, an ancient lady with modern ideas. NtENPILAOS. her husband while she stayed at home. HERMIONE, her daughter and severest critic. ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer; old enough to have bitions.ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling; philosopher by Instinct; moralist by observation. , ADRASTE, handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody else. CHARTTAS, the lady next door. DAMASTOR, a boy who strayed from the family doorstep. Helen has had a talk with her daughter, Hermione, and is a bit disturped about the yo un g 'ady’s ideas on love. Mother, of course, has had considerable experience in that particular phase of the human emotions, and. in fact, might pass as somewhat of an authority. At any rate, Helen feels tTTfr\ situation calls for a consultation with Menelaos. Now go N on with the story. PART TWO v The Younger Generation CHAPTER I “Menelaos,” said Helen, “I want to talk to you about Hermione—we must act before she cotnmits herself too far.” “Commits herself to what?” “Well, for one thing, to a husband.” “Oh—Orestes. Fine!” said Menelaos. “Why shouldn’t they marry? I thought we all agreed to that long ago.” “Exactly. Long ago. We’ve learned a good deal since. What’s experience for? Orestes is no husband for my child.” “Helen, you’ve made up your mind to do something or other and you’re breaking the news to me,” said Menelaos. “I’ve had my advice asked before. Nov/ please understand, once for all, that Orestes suits me, if Hermione wants him. And I haven’t heard of any rivals. “Come to think of it, you and I haven’t seen him —since when? Hermione knows him much better

“There you go!” exclaimed Menelaos. “Now the madhouse begins.”

than we do—they’ve been somewhat thrown together, I understand, by common interest in absent parents. Don’t condemn Orestes before we know him. “Why not send for the boy and lqok him. over? Or wait till he happens along—Eteoneus says he has been coming at regular intervals, and he may be expected shortly.” “So Eteoneus has been encouraging this affair when my back was turned?” “You wouldn’t think so, to hear him talk,” said Menelaos. “He seems Orestes less than you do. He fears that Orestes too much resembles you—in ideas, that is.” “That’s his mother in him,” said Helen. “Eteoneus never understood me. I’m sure the boy is Clytemnestra all over again; children usually take after the parent of the other sex. “Nonsense!” said Menelaos. "You can’t account for children so simply. Besides, that amounts to holding them responsible for their parents, and it isn’t fair. Asa matter of fact, they usually behave much more prudently.” “That’s rarely a virtue on their part,” said Helen. “It should be laid to their immaturity or to improper bringing-up.” “There you go!” exclaimed Menelaos. “Now the madhouse begins. How are you expecting to make a sane person believe that prudent behavior is the result of a bad education?” v “They shouldn’t be prudent so young,” said Helen, “it’s a bad sign. It’s beginning at the wrong end. Youth should begin by loving life. Prudence is a form of caution, it’s a control of your impulses but you must have the impulses before you can control them. Or it’s a kind of foresight—but how can you have foresight until you have accumulated some knowledge of the world? Menelaos, Hermione is in danger. If we don’t prevent it, she’ll marry Orestes, and that marriage, I’m sure, will bring her nothing but misery. She’s seen no other man of her age but Orestes Damastor—you know, the Charitas boy, and he’s not much. By contrast Orestes must seem a god. It’s usually by contrast. Some day she’ll meet a real man, and be sorry she married prematurely.” “Upon my word!” said Menelaos. “Upon—my—word!” “What she needs is experience—experience,” Helen went on, “and as quickly as possible!” ' “Oh, that’s what she needs, is it?” said Menelaos. “Well, perhaps I can arrange for someone to elope with her without marrying her, and after a while she’ll be able to pick the kind of a husband she won’t want to run away from. Let’s consider it settled. Have you any one in mind for the trial flight?” “You’re not serious now, of course,” said Helen. “But do you know, that wouldn’t be a- bad idea, if it could be carried out. It can’t, I suppose, and it does go rather beyond what I thought of. Besides, it wouldn’t do any good, she wouldn’t learn anything, unless there were somebody she wanted to elope with and I don’t think there Is.” “On the whole, isn’t that a weight off your mind?” said Menelaos. “The way you talked, I thought she was eloping this afternoon. My own

idea of Hermione is that Ashe’s steady and sensible and trustworthy. Why don’t you let her live her life, as you’ve lived yours.” “Menelaos, can’t you see? That’s precisely what I want for her, but it’s what she’ll never do. She’s full of convictions and prejudices—what the world expects of her, as though the world cared—what she owes to herself, as though life were collectig a debt. “All her ideas are shallow and sentimental, purely formal; she has picked a scheme of things out of this little neighborhood, and she thinks she knows the universe. Poor child! Her heart is asleep. When she wakes up some day she may be terrible. “I don’t call her prudent-—she is blind. If she weren’t so like her aunt, I shouldn’t worry. A girl without any latent force of character might as well marry now as she wishes, find out her mistake at leisure. and take refuge in a comfortable, self-stifling career, like Charttas; the world’s full of them, and at least they’re safe. “But if I know my child she'll find out her mistake by discovering a great passion, and she won’t know what to do with it—she'll simply be violent. It’s bad for that type when the love of life gets hold of them and they think it’s too late.” “I’m not sure I understand what the love of life is," said Menelaos. “It has a critical edge which seems to cut my way. I fancy you refer to something you think is lacking in me. Yet I really believe I love life as much as I ought to; I’ve hever wanted to die. “I've loved my people, and my home. I’ve loved you, Helen, in my poor way, for some time. I’m very

fond of Hermione. Is there anything I’ve overlooked?” “In your own way you have loved me, I think,” said Helen. “We’ll agree it? more than I deserved. But I don’t thank you for it, Menelaos. Love is something that happens to us, we can't help ourselves; it isn’ta sign of generosity in the lover. Your kindness and your patience when you haven't understood me—that’s what I can thank you for. “We’re not farther apart than most husbands and wives. I dare say, and when we get to the end of our days we’ll remember chiefly how long we have been companions. But, oh, Menelaos, I wanted Hermione to know the real thing! To have the passion and the heartache when she is young, when her body and her mind are undulled, when the ecstasy is in the senses and yet seems to be in the soul! “And then, when the body flags and grows old, to find the ecstasy indeed in the spirit after all, their two souls melted in that fiery happiness! Or if she missed that joy, at least to come so near it that she’d know it could be, and she’d always think of it with yearning and measure .life by it. \ “It must happen to some people, Menelaos, and I wanted it for her. Those who have it never grow old, I think, never lose courage, nor lose interest.” “You are frank,” said Menelaos. “I’m glad you told me—l suppose I’m glad. I suspect it’s not the younger generation you are Talking fff. Well! So that’s what you mean by love of life?” “No, that is love,” said Helen.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DIME TROLLEY FARE IN EVERY , CITY IS URGED Street Railway Association to Conduct National PriceBoosting Drive. WASHINGTON, July 6 —Attempts to increase street car fares to 10 cents in all parts of the country will be made during the coming year by street railway companies. This Is indicated by Lucius S. Storrs, managing director of the American Electric Railway Association, writing in the monthly publication of that group. Storrs expresses the hope that the public is ready to pay higher street car fares in return for good service. Improve Service “A large number of companies are now preparing to provide the best possible service, gambling on the inherent fairness of the public to go along with them,” says Storrs. He Adds that to produce the same net profit ak in 1912, passenger fares should average 8.22 cents each. However, since a slump in travel usually follows an increase, “sound business judgment would require- a 10-cent flat cash fare.” The average fare now paid, including city and 1 interuban lines is 7.1 cents. This is an increase of 35 jjer cent since 1912. 83 Cities Playing Dime The latest compilation of street car fares in 288 American cities, made by the Electric Railway Association shows that 83 cities now chargea 10-cent street car fare. There are three cities with 9-cent fare; 31 charge 8 cents; 67 charge 7 cents; 47 6 cents, and 28, 5 cents. The remainder have zone systems with various charges depending on the distance traveled. New York and San Francisco are two large cities that still retain a 5-cent fare. The New York lines are operated under an arrangement which amounts to a partnership between the city and private companies. San Francisco has a municipal railway system which has kept fares down by competition with the private company. Expect Auto to Aid , Storrs believes that the private automobile, which has been the most serious competitor of the railway companies, will eventually aid the companies to get a higher fare. “Traffic congestion is becoming so bad that every day private car owners are abandoning use of their machines and returning to puljjjc transport service,” he says. “The private car owner has learned to pay a dear,price for his riding and he is not likely to quibble over paying a penny or two more of fare. He measures street car service by speed and comfort rather than by cost.”

ASK AUDITOR FOR SSOO Examiners Find Fault With Pro- \ cedure in Wayne County. Harry Thornburg, Richmond, Wayne County Auditor, was ordered to pay back SSOO charged ior carrying delinquent taxes forward and his methods of handling finances and awarding contracts criticised by examiners of the State Board of Accounts. The report points out that county commissioners paid the auditor $3,317.16 for copying names from poll books. This averages 12 cents a name, while in 1924 the work was done for 2 cents a name. More than $2,300 was spent for the county infirmary and $40,000 for highway materials without advertising for bids, it states. Adjustment has been made and warrants will not be issued, according to the examiners.

When the army went home the mules were left behind. The French peasants, greatly In need of livestock, faced peace without horses. They couldn’t buy them, but they did the next best thing. They bought the American army mules. And these mules have been carrying on ever since. Americans who tour the occupied with the Legion will find old friends hauling barges along the canals, drawing plows through fields, and dragging carts along the quaint country roads, now Tree from enemy sniping. For Jack and Jenny don’t know the war is over. Most of these mules now are expatriated Americans. They even won’t flap an tar to honest American cussing. They have been taught French, and they respond only to the French manner of speaking to such animals. So veterans who want to converse with them will have to “parlez vous.”

GERMAN COTTON FIRMS PROSPER More Looms Whirring Than in Pre-War Days. Bu Unit'd Pre*s BERLIN, July 6.—Approximately 11,000,000 looms, as many as there were at work in the pre-war German Empire, are whirring in the smaller German Republic of today. No other European country can boast of a similar increase in cot-ton-looms. The latest industrial census in - Germany showed that the cotton industry possessed 10,400.000 looms. Compared with previous census In 1924. that meant an increase of over a million looms. During the corresponding period England increased the number of its looms by 536.000. France by 152,000, Italy by 236,000, Poland by 274,000. Belgium by 113,000 and Czechoslovakia by 108,000. In other words the increase of lodms fn Germany was higher than that in the last five countries combined and almost twice as high as in England alone. All these 11.000.000 are whirring 'at high speed. The German cotton industry is employed to its full capacity and the exports of manufactured cotton goods from Germany are still increasing. There is. however, some apprehension as to whether this favorable situation will continue. Artificial silk is becoming a serious competitor of the German cotton industry. Meeting this rival through cutting down prices is out of the question, according to German cotton manufacturers. They claim that they have already shaved their profit margin as closely as possible.

BAD PLANES ' . CAUSE MOST i AIR CRASHES Pilots Are Not to Blame in 55 Per Cent of Accidents. BY ALFRED P. PECK United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 6.—Faulty airplanes cause about 11 per cent more crashes than those which can be blamed on the pilot, according to a survey conducted by Lieut. C. R. Brown, submitted to Edward P. Warner, assistant secretary of the Navy In charge of aviation. Brow’n's figures cover a period of five years. For three more years he will probe into causes of air accidents in an endeavor to eliminate as many as humanly possible from aviation. The greater portion of crashes in which the pilot can be blamed Is - caused by bad judgment, the survey shows, while engine failures are re- „ sponsible for the greatest number of crashes due to the aircraft. Fire Causes Few Accidents Inexperience caused the second greatest amount of accidents in flying. Brown discovered. Carelessness was declared responsible for but slightly more than 3 per cent. Fire, the dread of all fliers, caused but 1.5 per cent of accidents. “From the records in the bureau, the number of crashes due to any one reason }s greatest in landing land planes,” Brown told the United Press, “but this is but slightly more than those occuring in landing seaplanes. This fact is rather unusual when it is considered with forced landings it is admittedly harder to get down in a landplane. "For 1926, the Navy had 197 crashes, in which 20 persons were killed. Considering the time spent in flying this is 4,857 hours for every fatality or approximately 560,000 miles covered for every person killed, which, in itself is a remarkable record. j Death in U. S. Service Less “Crashes in the American military and naval services are much fewer in number than those in foreign countries.” Brown lists the causes of crashes as follows: Total (or pilot 44.3% Bari Judgment 33.7% Carelessness {. % Disregard of orders 1.3% Inexperience 18.3% Miscellaneous 1.1% Total for aircraft 81.8% Engine failure It. % Structural failure 14.3% Miscellaneous 18.9% PI re 18% Unknown 4.8%
