| MORE MEMORABILIA for the book. | | Item 1: When David V. Culley moved his family to| Indianapolis in 1838, they lived for a while in a house on the point of Indiana Ave. and what is now Capitol. To get to the house from the north one had to cross a ravine which had a bridge for the accommodation of pedestrians. When it rained, the ravine was full of water. When it poured, the Culleys were more or less marooned. In other words, they lived in a pretty damp place. One day, in a wet season, Hannah Culley (the daughter of the house who later turned out to be Mrs. Mansur) went down > / cellar for some preserved p aches, and while there the cellar caved in, burying r to her neck.

Some New-found - Friends f

~The closest friends we made on the whole trip were Mr. and Mrs. Scollay Moore. He is division sales manager for West India QOil, Mves in Panama, travels a lot, and knows these countries like a book. He is almost the only American I know who says frankly that he likes the Latins, likes their ideas, their way of doing things, likes to live down there and mingle with them, likes everything about them. We and the' Moores seemed to fallow each other around. We were with them almost constantly for two weeks in Managua, for a spell each in Honduras and Salvador, and for another two weeks in| Guatemala. Mr, Moore is from Parkersburg, Ww. Va. ,4and knows people we know, and Mrs. Moore is from Nassau, in the Bahamas, and knows people we know. Furthermore, we like the same things, hate the same things, and talk the same language. So the Modres and we got mighty sympatico. Mrs. Moore's name is Gerry, and That Girl's name is Jerry, and since both names are pronounced alike) we had to speak to'them as Jerry No. 1 and Jerry No. 2. The Moores are back in Panama by now, and here we

“This, sir,” replied Frank, shoving the package into]

the editor's hands. Whereupon he walked out of the office acting as if he was awful mad. When Harding opened the package, he discovered somewhat to his amazement that it contained a box of cigars and a bottle of whisky, the brands of ‘which were just to his liking. The next issue of the Herald contained a brief paragraph—something to this effect: . “Frank MecDonald certainly knows how to heap coals of firewater on the heads of his enemies.” The story is significant because of the historical fact that, all of a sudden, Harding stopped saying mean things about Senator McDonald. 2 ” ”

Thtiving Whisky Business

Item 3: The Journal of Oct.” 1827, reported that there had been 213 barrels of whisky purchased by Indianapolis merchants from outside and 71 barrels of home product, within the past year. it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that all of it was consumed that year. All right, let's see where that brings us. The sum of 213 plus 71 amounts to 284 barrels or 8948 gallons or 35,784 quarts or 71,568 pints

the equivalent of a fair-sized drink. To pursue the subjeet still further: A census of inhabitants of whom 454 were under 15 years of age thus| disqualifying them as drinkers. Let's be gallant, too, land suppose that the women didn’t like whisky. Well, that leaves us no-alternative but to believe that once upon a time every man in Indianapolis had pretty close to 2500 drinks of whisky a year. It works out somewhere around seven a day. My only reason for going so thoroughly into this today is to clarify a more or less cryptic sentence in Jacob Dunn’s History which says that “there was probably as little drinking in Indianapolis in the early days, as in any place of the same size in the country.”

and the tentative consideration of trying: 16. cut off Sweden’s iron ore shipments to Germany, an operation which would not only be difficult from a military point of view but which might involve some unpleasant trampling upon neutral rights. Not one sign in the sky points to an early peace. The Allies have taken their stand for the destruction of the Hitler regime which they consider a menace to their security.. The Allies consider that Hitler's objective is to crush them, particularly to smash the British Empire, and that his position has become so strong that he must be defeated to remove the danger. This leaves the Allies little room in which to compromise and their is no indication that hey are

ready to compromise. ” os 2

The Political Outlook

At any rate, the only intelligent basis upon which

assumption of a long war and one in which the Allied side will be dependent upon the United States for vital supplies, particularly airplanes. Repetition of the pattern of ‘the previous World War appears tq have begun. It is unlikely that there will be any change in this country’s keep out of war policy during the Presidential campaign. The Republicans have a simple course already laid out. Thev only have to keep saying that the Administration is trying to involve us and that its pledges to keep us out of war, cannot be depended upon. The Democratic position is more difficult, for it must justify the Administration's moves to help the Allies while at the same time'trying to reassure the country that it does not contemplate our going to war, and that its policies will not involve us. There is no large pro-German sentiment to be taken into account by the political parties this time, but there is an ‘even stronger anti-war sentiment

to satisfy it.

Humble Origin of Order in Local Drugstore Is Recalled.

By TIM TIPPETT Its tower bathed in floodlights and its neighboring streets lined with automobiles five blocks deep, the Scottish Rite Cathedral last night was the scene of the gala opening of the Indianapolis Diamond Jubilee of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Last nignt's celebration in this beautiful temple was a long way from the humble birth of the Scottish Rite Masonry in Indianapolis —in a pharmacy on Washington St., at the close of the Civil War, It was at this drugstore just 75 years ago that the move for the Valley of Indianapolis, Scottish Rite, gan. ‘Caleb B. Smith, at that time, was the only Scottish Rite Mason in Indianapolis. He had resigned in 1863 as Secretary of the Interior under President Lincoln to become judge of the United States Court for the District of Indiana. He played a prominent part: ‘in encouraging the growth of the organization in the Hoosier capital. Last night in the Cathedral, dedicated Sept. 20, 1929, .the hopes of Mr. Smith and other founders of the local Rite found realization. More than.1500 people; attired in formal clothes attended the opening of the five-day celebration. The Rev. Roy Ewing Vale, newly

racy which not only permitted but encouraged such organizations as the Scottish Rite. . “One could not participate in such a worthy movement as this in some European ‘tountries,” he told| his audience. Following the welcoming address, numbers by the Scottish Rite quartet, a solo by Mrs. Francis Wallace Strickland -and a reception line of

Scottish Rite officers greeted those attending. Dancing in .the two-story-high

ballroom followed. Ritualistic work began today at a luncheon meeting in the main dining room of the Cathedral. J. Raymond Schutz will speak at the first class reunion tonight, Arthur R. Baxter will speak at the reunion Wednesday night and Bishop Titus Lowe Thursday night. Climax of the celebration will come with the jubilee banquet at 6:30 p. m. Friday. The first degree to be conferred today will be those of the Lodge of Perfection. Council and chapter degrees will be conferred tomorrow, the consistory degrees Thursday and the 32d degree: Friday.

It Isn't Legal,

IF THE WORKS BOARD is, going to issue plrmits for pigeon trapping, the City Council must amend a 1925 ordinance which prohibits man from molesting

birds, but not vice versa, city officials said today. - City Corporation Counsel Edward H. Knight, who looked into the legal angles of the. pigeon situation at the request of the’ Works Board, said in an opinion that the 1925 ordinance still is in force: and that the Works Board has no power to issue permits for trapping pigeons. He ‘said the Legal Department could [prepare an amendment except pigeons from the ordinance and giving the Works Board power| to issue trapping permits. So Board members unanimously approved a resolution for preparation of an amendment.

NEW-TYPE SIGNALS

Trial of a new type traffic signal Was approved by the Safety Board oday. The: Board agreed to permit S. P. Haines, 2403 N. Pennsylvania: St., to install the circular signal devices invented by Dr. Walter E. Beyer, Indianapolis dentist, on N. Meridian and W. 16th" Sts. The device consists of a circle of 12 green lights, with seven red lights in the center... When the light is about to change from green to red, the circle of green begins to flick out at one-second intervals, giving the motorist 12 seconds of warning before the light changes. The lights will be synchronized on Meridian St. from Ohio to St. Clair, and will extend unsynchronized to 16th St. The Same type light will be installed on 16th St. from Meridian St. to Norihwestern

THE STORY OF DEMOCRACY

CHAPTER 20

EAL struggle for that form of , Democracy which is now being challenged by the totalitar-

been based upon agriculture and introduced the use of capitalism. It is true that a moneyeconomy had already been known in the Italian city republics of the. 15th century, especially in Florence where the Medicis had established the first big international banking house. But in the Low Countries, where the small independent peasant - landowner . had never been as completely ahsorbed by the feudal lords as in the rest of Europe, there was an ideal breeding ground for a small-scale sort of capitalism.

These countries, while essentially Christian, had become more and more resentful of being ruled by a hierarchy ‘which to them was of foreign origin and which, being

+ | foreign, failed to understand the

“temperament and the prejudices of a race alien to themselves.

There followed that widespread attempt at reform of the Church from within. ‘Rather to the sur-

the Portuguese, with the apptoval of the Papacy, were the only legitimate owners of all the newly - discovered {erritories in Africa, Asia and America, the people of the Low Countries an of England had been obliged t eTéspect the wishes of their spiritual master. A The moment they ceased to recognize his authority, the whole of the planet was theirs, provided they had ‘the strength to help themselves to whatever they wished. Until then, they had never played any particular role ‘in international affairs. |

They were young and eager. Being without any experience in

, such matters, they most chee!
