MISSPELLING IS COSTLY TO U. S., BRYSON STATES Times Bee Is Viewed as Valuable by City Postmaster. Poor spoiling costs Uncle Sam huge sums cadi year. The United States Government has a vital interest in the National Spelling Bee sponsored by The Indianapolis Times in Ifidiana, according to Postmaster Robert H. Bryson. “Interest aroused by the spelling bee should result in improved spelling among our young future citizens,” Bryson said. “Thousands ot letters a year canhot be delivered in Indianapolis, bocause of poor spelling and incorrect addresses. In some instances the name is spelled wrong and goes to the wrong person. Other times the street name is misspelled. “This trouble is especially noticeable at Christmas time, when as high as 30,000 or 40.000 letters and greetings are delayed, if deliverable at all, for various reasons. “It takes a large staff of clerks to go over these letters and attempt to find the addresses, all of which costs the government money. “In addition to misspelling names and streets, many people spell cities and State abbreviations incorrectly.” There are seven Detroits, for instance, and unless the State is ■spelled out legibly, the letter may go to Detroit, Maine, instead of Detroit. Mich. “When in Rome do as the Romans do,” applies not only to Rome, Italy, but to fourteen other Romes in the United States. There are fourteen Rochesters and Ashland, Wis., has twenty-four sister cities of the same name. Marion, Ind., is not the only city named after Gen. Francis Marion of Revolutionary fame, as nearly half of the States in the Union have a city of that name. Indiana also has a Merom, frequently confused with Marion.

LAWYER BEFRIENDS BOY SENTENCED FOR THEFT Tells Judge at Gary Job Will Replace Jail Term. Bi) United Brest GARY, Ind., April 4.—Just when things had begun to look the blackest to him, James Meldon, 17, Canadian youth, found a friend in need who came to his assistance and saved him from a jail term. He had been in jail since Dec. 10 for possessing and transporting a stolen automobile. Meldon said he left a home in Canada because the folks who took him in “had mistreated me.” He said he went to Chicago on freight trains and found no w’ork. Unable to leave the city by another freight, Meldon said he finally stole the car. Judge Slick sentenced him to thirty days in the jail. Lester Ottenheimer, East Chicago attorney, volunteered to take Meldon under probation until lie could find work for him. The judge granted Ottcnheimer's request.

Three Boy Scout Forests to Be Planted in State

Three Boy Scout forests of fifty acres each arc to be started this year by the Department of Conservation with the hope of not only stimulating reforestation in Indiana, but interesting Scouts in the importance of taking part in their State Government. One tract is at Jasonville, one at Clay City and the other at Linton. The three areas arc in strip coal mining fields. The Scouts will plant and care for the trees and endeavor to restore the unsightly terrain into living, luxuriant growth. Trees, land and tools will be furnished by the Maumee Collieries Company, together with the quarters wherein the Scouts will live while doing the work. The first plantings will include 1,200 spruce for later marketing as Christmas trees. The boys will be given half the proceeds from the sales of the spruce. Shovel pits in these areas will be stocked with fish from the Conservation Department hatcheries and

it is hoped that within a short time the waste lands will be converted into places of real beauty. This work is a part of the Conservation Department’s effort to put the bare land back into the earning column of the ledger of the State. A comprehensive program for reforestation is being mapped out by Richard Licbcr, director of the department. During the past few weeks tiie Conservation Department has purchased 142 acres of land at an average price of $5.28 an acre, bringing the total land area of the Clark County State Forest to 4.750 acres. About 120 acres of the last purchase are in second growth oak, hickory and pine and twenty acres consists of abandoned fields which will be planted with pine and spruce. The State forest land purchased several years ago and valued then at $9 an acre is today worth from twice to three times that price. Reforestation work of the Conservation Department having greatly improved it. Liebcr said.
