ILLINOIS BOYS TAUGHT TO BE HOMEMAKERS Cooking, Sewing and Care of Home are Part of School Course. BY DON E. CHAMBERLIN ' l'niU>4 Prat, Staff C&rrrspondent SPRINGFIELD, HI., Sept. 20. Man’s ability to manage a home is just as important to the success of his domestic life as ‘’bringing home the bacon,” according to Miss Adah H. Hess, state supervisor of home economics taught in Illinois public schools. And because of this' philosophy Miss Hess is pushing plans for expansion of the teaching of “home appreciation” to boys' classes in high schools of the state. The ‘ home appreciation” course takes in all phases necessary in the care of a home and includes cooking, sewing, eating manners, how to dress and now to talk. ‘‘There is nothing effeminate about the idea,” said Miss Hess, and regular he-boys take to the course ’easily. Boys Need Training It doesn’t mean we want to train boys to be housekeepers when they become husbands and fathers and let the wives go to work. Far from that. ‘‘So many homes would not go on the rocks as at present if the husband had been trained as a bov lo the responsibility of a homemaker. ‘ Take the matter of financial upkeep. Few men know little about how much money is needed to run :t hou.-e. We're trying to teach the boys from the standpoint that they ; ,re going to be husbands and fahers some day, not from the standpoint that they are going to be housekeepers.”

Classes Are Success Home making classes for boys have been opened in several Illinois high schools for several years and so successful has been the experiment that the plan now is to expand it to many other schools and make it a regular course. It had a four-year trial at Palestine high school, a year’s trial at Pekin. At both places the course had to be limited because of the large enrollment. It, also was experimented with at Carlyle high school, where girls took the course along with boys, though pecial provisions were made for tire boys’ work. Many Boys Enroll At the other schools the home making classes were segregated, the boys being given a course different from that given girls.

Most Fall Falls Occur in ‘Safety' of the Homes By Science Service NEW YORK. Sept. 20.—’The worst place to fall is at home. Life insurance statistics show that almost half of the tumbles that end fatally occur on domestic premises. A third of the fatal falls in the home were on stairs and every tenth one was out of a window. Only about a fifth of falling accidents that ended fatally occurred in public places and even less, 15 per cent, were incidental to employment. Slipping or falling on floors caused one of every eight household falling disasters and falling out of bed or over chairs was charged with being the cause in one of each twenty instances. Statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company arrived at these figures after a study of the fatal falls reported to them in the last three years. Fatal accidents are expected to take a toll of 100.000 lives in this country each year and the inquiry into fatal falls was undertaken to obtain information which will aid in identifying and preventing the most dangerous causes. A tenth of the fatal falls incidental to employment were in connection with building construction, while a fifth were from scaffolds and staging.

GRAND TRUNK WILL ELECTRIFY ITS LINES Mammoth Project at Detroit to Include Motor Speedway. Bu Tina x Spec ial DETffclT, Sept. 20.—Plans for electrification of Grand Trunk lines between Detroit and Pontiac, involving the erection here of a modern terminal station and office building, and the construction over the electrified railway lines of a motor speedway to Pontiac, were announced today by C. G. Bowker, general manager of Grand Trunk western lines of the Canadian National Railways System. Multiple unit electric cars will be used, similar to those in use by the Illinois Central system at Chicago and the Pennsylvania system at Philadelphia. Ultimate cost of the terminals and speedway development is $100,000,000, of which an immediate outlay of $25,000,000 is proposed. Work will start at the beginning of the coming year and plans call for completion of the project some time during 1931. PRISON DISPUTE LOOMS Divergence of Opinion Forecast for Session Sept. 26.

FIFTEEN years after his graduation, Dr. Caldwell became one of the best-known members of his profession. A single prescription made him famous. _ And for forty years it has continued to make friends. As fast as people could tell others about the marvelous way this prescription corrects constipation and relieves other troubles caused by sluggish bowels, demand for it spread until Dr. Caldwell was forced to have it filled in quantities; bottled and distributed through drug

stores. Today, Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is the world’s most popular laxative. Millions of people would never think of using anything else when they’re headachy, bilious,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PUBLIC UTILITY TACTICS SCORED BY GRONINGER Private Corporations Have Bought Political Power, Charge in Speech. Bv TIMES SPECIAL WASHINGTON. Ind.. Sept.- 20. Inherent monopoly privileges and right of eminent domain are being misemployed by owners and operators of public utilities to gain power and control of state politics, Taylor E. Groninger, former Indianapolis corporation counsel, informed the Municipal League here Thursday night. Municipally owned public utilities, said Groninger, under present conditions, can be operated successfully at lower cost to consumers than those run by private corporations, and with legislative protection could function more cheaply and abolish the graft which he charged was

practiced by many large Indiana public service companies. With profits derived from exorbitant rates, the private corporations have purchased political power, he charged, citing among others, the following instances: 1. One member of the public service commission was transferred to a minor commission after he refused to approve a petition for merging two utility properties because the claimed merged value was inflated; one of his colleagues completed the merger order and later resigned to begin buying utility properties. A corporation counsel who filed suit against the merger was asked to resign before he could introduce his evidence of inflation. 2. Another commissioner became a member of the legal staff of one of Indiana’s largest utilities: a chief accountant was made counsel for another group of operators: a chief engineer resigned to make appraisals of utility property; and still another accountant formed an accounting firm with a large clientele of public utilities. 3. The chief counsel for a large utility was named by a Marion county political committee as candidate for the state senate when a state senator died a short time before the election.

he voted against the “Holding Company Bill,” which was unfavorable to utilities. 4. One representative who voted against that bill in the house last winter now is seeking a city commissioner’s berth in Indianapolis, Groninger said. 5. The public service commission, reorganized last May, recently authorized a large utility to sell $15,000,000 long term, 5 per cent securities at 88 cents on the dollar, allowing 12 cents, or $1,800,000, brokerage fees and discounts to investors on supposedly sound securities. 6. Recently the president of a utility telephoned the city attorney of a northern Indiana city to ask why the city fought the utility on a rate case hearing. “Didn't we do our part in the last election?” he is said to have demanded. “Did you ever hear of a public utility operator asking for a reduction of rates?” Groninger queried. “Would it not be more equitable to cut off expenditures incident to 1 trucking in politics; cease carrying pay roll parasites; and apply the money thus spent in reducing rates for service? “It seems that the only way the public can protect its interests in certain services is to serve itself

through municipally owned and operated plants,” he said. Through figures of private utilities in Indianapolis and municipal plants in Richmond. Washington. Anderson, Logans port, and other cities, he indicated that the latter furnished service at lower rates, paid off their debts, supplied funds for civic improvements, contributed to the general fund, and periodically lowered the cost of service. “Richmond is contemplating another cut this year, while the manager of the Indianapolis Electric company, a few months ago. posted a large bond. $500,000. that his company would not, ask for another increase within five years,” Groninger declared. “There is no sound reason why Indiana cities and towns should not be restored to control of their intramunicipal utility properties and removed from the restraints of the public service commission," he concluded.

Sick!" Again the disappointment of a date that can’t be kept. Its always the day one would like most to go. Midol means freedom from these days of inactivity—days of suffering. You have probably tried other things for periodic pains, but so had thousands of women who today bless Midol. Try these wonderful tablets and be convinced that the normal process need not be one bit painful. Midol is non-narcotic and harmless, but it does bring complete ease in five to seven minutes. Or prevents the pain even starting when taken in tidne. Every drug store has the trinA h*tle ” case to tuck in your purse, and Midol costs only 50c.—0. • ment.
