Hoosier Vagabond
ABOARD S. S. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—This luxury-liner trip from San Francisco to New York is even more high-class than I had been led to believe. For do you know we hadn't been in the cabin 10 minutes when a man in uniform walked into the room and said the captain wished us to sit at his table. Now I've traveled on about 40 ships in my life, in practically every capacity from coal-passer to tourist, but this is the first time a captain ever knew I was aboard, let alone asked me to sit at his table. For you landlubbers who don’t know about such things, I'll elaborate a little. On every sea voyage, a certain number of people are picked to eat at the captain’s table. This is the highest position any passenger can attain (and I suppose I'm being a louse in telling that half the time they have trouble filling the captain's table, since many people would rather be free and eat where they please). But I am the kind who will try anything once, so we bowed from the waist, expressed the wish that our compliments be conveyed at once to the captain, and accepted with alacrity. We have now been two days at sea and we haven't laid eyes on the captain yet. But, as a thorough reporter, I assure you that we'll have this captain down for dinner some fine evening, even if we have to tie him up and carry him down.
Following Traditions
It is an old sea tradition on luxury liners that nobody dresses formally for dinner the first night out of port. Somebody tld me about it just in time. The second night out, we were lying in the harbor at Los Angeles. So nobody dressed then, either. In fact, almost nobody but us stayed aboard for dinner. Our third night out will be the first night out of T.os Angeles, if vou follow me, so we won't dress then, either. If this thing keeps up and I get cheated out of wearing my new double-breasted cantilever-lapeled tuxedo, I'm going to sue Bond Clothiers for my $25. Qur cabin is on A-deck, which is the highest of
Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town")
r
PROFILE OF THE WEEK: DeWitt Schuyler Mor£an, the boss of Indianapolis’ big public school system which moves into operation on Monday morning. The EBuperintendent of Schools looks and acts more like a business executive than an educator. Just 50, he stands about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, a sturdy, well-filled man with a round, good-humored face and keen brown eyes. His hair is still dark, although it is thinning slightly in front. At his office, he has the habit of teetering back and forth in his swivel chair as he goes through conferences. He has an infectious laugh and he uses it often. In the middie of an important session on a difficult problem, he has a way of throwing his head back and chuckling heartily and somehow managing with the act to clear the atmosphere and bring a quick solution to the problem. DeWitt Morgan fits well with any gathering you can assemble. If the crowd is in a story-telling mood, he’ll make himself right at home always with an amusing anecdote that's apropos. If you take him fishing (he likes to fish, too) he'll just take rod and reel in hand and maintain the silence of the sphinx.
He Likes Automobiles
HIS GREATEST RELAXATION driving an sutomobile. Even if he has to make a long trip in extremely bad weather, he'll go by car if he can. His friends josh him and say that he ‘learned to drive in England” because of a tendency to steer right down the center of the road. Good music is one of his hobbies and he likes to stimulate the interest of school children in it. As a vouth in college and later in the old Fourth Presbyterian Church choir he sang a pretty fair tenor. He

Washington
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7T—It is easy to understand why Congress is tempted to give the volunteer system another trial and delay conscription until after elecgion as contemplated by the Fish amendment. Undesirable as this arrangement seems, it may go into the law. The Senate defeated a similar proposal by only two votes. Therefore, pressure will be strong for it when the House and Senate conferees meet to adjust discrepancies between the House and Senate bills. That Congress is reluctant to introduce conscription, especially just before election, is understandable. Politics aside, the reluctance still is understandable because not many men can, without a twinge, decree such a compulsory sacrifice for our young men. Yet other @onsiderations seem overshadowing. First, it is no more sensible to relv on volunteers to fill up large Army requirements than it is to rely on volunteers to shell out taxes. It is better to allow the burden to fall impersonally alike upon the just and the unjust. Furthermore, we should be spared the horrors of the old-fashioned hysterical recruiting drive, with charges of slackerism, and sneering at voung men who may not be able to volunteer, and with cuties shaming young meén into uniform.
Will Our Nerve Fail?
Those Republican politicians—including Rep. Joe Martin, national committee chairman—who think that immediate conscription might be a political liability should think what their situation will be when President Roosevelt, at the peak of a political campaign, takes the lead in a national recruiting drive. They are handing him the best possible weapon with which to roll Willkie into a cold pancake. He'll make the campaign non-political all right. Second, since the conscription issue has been mised, it becomes almost a matter of national selfsespect to follow through with it. The votes are there to pass conscription in prin-
My Day
HYDE PARK, Friday.—We had a picnic lunch yesterday for the second group of boys from the Woodstock, N. Y. National Youth Administration project. These boys are learning quarrying, masonry
work, stone carving and even the making of their own tools. I did not have a great pp deal to show them, but out on F my porch, they looked with a great i F deal of interest at the big stone Ed fireplace which I have for broiling. After a swim and lunch and a visit to the pewter shop, where they were interested in the making of salad bowls and pewter articles, I took them over to see " the new library. They were much % 3 interested in the stone used in ig that building. The ship models ©#¥ and the other collections, which can be seen at present, thougn they are not as yet arranged. seemed to interest them also. They have a great appreciaiton for anything which is handmade and seemed a group of young people with keen and varied interests. I hope they enjoyed my lunch as much as I did the one they gave us the day that Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr. and I visited them. 1 induced Mrs. Morgenthau to drive up from Fishkill to be with us today and we talked over

the four passenger decks. This ship is so big that, in height, it corresponds to an eight-story building. So we're on what you might call the sixth story. Above us is the deck with all the public rooms, and above that is the boat deck, where the lifeboats are. Our cabin is a little bigger than a one-room, kitchen and bath apartment—which as ship cabins go 1s pretty big. It has two portholes, and two beds, and a chiffonier and a dressing table, and an immense clothes closet, and a table in the middle. It is paneled in dark wood, and there is a heavy red rug on the floor, and there are two big deep chairs. There is a curtain at the door, so that when we get down in the tropics you can hook the door open, pull the curtain across and just let her blow. Our cabin has an anteroom for our luggage, and a full-fledged bathroom with tub and everything. It has a telephone so we can talk all over the ship. It has push buttons all over the place, because when vou're luxury travelers you don’t think of doing anything for yourself. You just call the steward or stewardess to come and do it.
It's Pretty Heady Stuff
The steward straightens up your room both morning and evening. He must have had a shock the first night when he saw those blue pajamas I bought in Tucson two years ago. Perhaps I should have told him 1 wanted to sleep in my tuxedo. . When you go into the dining room a boy in uniform opens the door for you and calls you by name. Half a dozen assistant stewards speak to you as you walk toward your table. When you get there, somebody pulls out the chair for you. It's a heady feeling, my friends, and will do a man no good in the long run. The dining room is the only air-conditioned room on the ship. It is immense, and the captain's table is right in the middle of it. It is a big oval table, and seats 11 people. The first few trips into the dining room, the passengers all stare at you, because they want to see who is sitting at the captain’s table. The ship at present is abuzz with conjecture over how that guy (me) ever got invited, and everybody is so disgusted about it that I predict not a single passenger will speak to me the whole trip.

A Memory Like an ‘Elephant’s’
WHEN HE TOOK OVER the Superintendent’s job | his assistants learned that he has a memory like an | elephant’s. When he began handing out assignments, they carried out those they liked and hoped he'd forget about the rest. He didn't. And whenever he goes off to a convention or takes a vacation, his staff knows better than to think they're going to coast. Because it won't be many days before the mailman starts to bring a lot of suggestions
By Tim Tippett JYDIANA'S “Atlantic City”—2000 acres of shifting sand and natural splendor. That's Dunes State Park, wind-swept and surfstabbed Hoosier wonderland along the rolling-
shores of Lake Michigan.
A year-round vacation mecca, it has drawn nature lovers from all over the nation. In the spring and summer, its beaches draw thousands of swimmers. During the fall and winter, its wild beauty attracts thousands more. It’s a favorite with Indianapolis travelers. Just 170 miles north, two routes are recommended for motorists. One is Route 31 to South Bend and then Route 20 to the park. The other is Route 52 through Lafayette, off on Route 41 at Kentland. A battleground in the relentless war between vegetation and wind and water, the park 1s a mixture of desert, forest and swamps. High winds and hammering waves have thrown up barricades of sand, twisted trees and ironstrong vines which bar auto travel. Foot trails wind past the swamp lands with their beds of great ferns. They cut through the forests of oak, elm, maple, tulip, popular and other trees, skirt the dune hills and cut through the densely-grown lowlands. Great “live” dunes, shifting incessantly at the insistence of the winds which whistle off the lake at amazing speeds, constantly alter the landscape.
n MA trees, after fighting the moving sand for a year or more, are stripped by death and throw fantastic shadows on the white sands. Many are buried up to their boughs. Cottonwood trees,
it is said, defy the onslaught of the sand by converting their branches into roots when they are covered. There are groves of twisted pines, one near a glade laid bare to the bright lake sun. A slug-

ciple. But to hedge and crawl by adopting the trick | delay until after election would be a demoralizing confession that our nerve failed us in the pinch, a tip-off that we didn't have the determination to do the thing we admit ought to be done. For Congress to flinch thus would be a revelation of weakness that | would not be good for us as a nation. Democracy is | suffering somewhat from an inferiority complex at the moment. British morale under the gun is beginning to revive the self-respect of democracy. A clean-cut follow-through now by Congress would truly | invigorate us. Nothing could be more enervating than for Congress, in this pinch, to reach for the soft | decision. The hard decisions are the ones that make us strong.
Other Nations Watching Us
Third, there is the matter of the respect of other nations for us, which is most essential to our posi-
tion now. When Secretary Hull went to Havana, there existed among some of the Latin American representatives doubt that we meant business, and doubt that we had the strength. These Latin Americans threw back at us some of the testimony of our naval officers before Congress regarding the weakness of the Navy. They were still wondering whether it was safe to tie to us instead of looking toward Hitler. Not only ic South America eyeing us closely, to read from our actions whether we have the steel and the resolution that will make us a strong and reliable protection, but Japan is studying us closely, to see how much is talk and how much is real stuff. From now on the United States must assume increasing responsibilities, particularly in the Western Hemisphere, or find itself hemmed in by other powers which are not afraid to use their strength. Smaller nations gravitate to the strong power. To hedge on conscription now would be a revelation to the world of our internal weakness and lack of nerve. To follow through will inspire confidence that will bring us compound interest. In these times a nation must make it clear that it means business or it will be pushed around by other nations that do mean business.

various plans, for she and I are to meet in New York City today. It is most satisfactory to do anything | with her, for she has such a quick grasp of any | situation and an esthetic and cultured appreciation of many things which is not given to us all. There was some little accumulation of mail and a number of things to be gone over and arranged. Christmas shopping must begin and I am glad to say I went over all my lists yesterday and am able to start with a very well planned list of what must be bought in the course of the next few weeks. You will probably say that it 1s early to be planning Christmas shopping, but I am rather horrified at not having more laid aside and marked for this busiest of seasons. From now on it is going to be busier and busier, and we have learned that preparation well in advance makes it possible to enjoy the Christmas spirit. . I write you little about the war because it seems to me that you must feel as I do, that it is hard to free your mind of the news which comes over the radio and which screams at you on the front page of every paper. The horror grows worse and the feeling that you never know quite what is happening, or mav happen, is very hard to bear. The weight of suffering in the world is so great one cannot be happy these days, but at least I think it is incumbent upon ail of us to be grateful for our lot and show it by as much cheerfulness and willingness to give to others as we possibly can.

Budget High.
By RICHARD LEWIS » On the third floor of City Hall's number of people have been doing a heap of heavy thinking lately about the role
fense. Boiled down, the question facing the Recreation Department is “to play or not to play.” One school of thought holds that recreation facilities panded to relieve nerve tension. This would involve a greater em-
phasis on adult recreation.
The other school, viewing recrea- | tions as a luxury, would shrink the
{budget on the theory that taxpayers
can't afford to pay for war preparedness and recreation, too. It would call for the elimination of juvenile programs and reduced
ladult athletics, on the grounds of | g (day probably will be devoted prin-|
economy. Officials admit, however, that all this speculation borders on a bit of fantasy. Right now, they can turn from it to the realities of the present which include the biggest recreation program in history, financed on one of the biggest budgets.
School Starts Sept. 16
On the morning of Sept. 40 City and WPA recreation employees will assemble at the Brookside Community house to begin the second phase of the Park Department's merit system. They will start going to recreation school six hours a day, six days a week for two weeks, The employees, all permanent personnel, will learn how to supervise community house recreation programs for the fall and winter. They will be ready to open the fall-winter program the first week of October, according to plans. The first phase of the merit plan was the training school for summer recreation workers, who have just finished their season. The course was held last spring.
Off to Chicago
Promptly at 10 a. m. yesterday, Russell E. Campbell, secretary to Mayor Sullivan, put on his hat, jumped into his car and headed for Chicago. The secretary's mission wasn't revealed, but there was some hint of a baseball game in his itinerary. Promptly at 2 p. m., yesterday, Mayor Sullivan collected his papers and went home to pack his grip in time to make the Chicago train. His mission wasn't disclosed, either, but there was some hint of a baseball game in his itinerary. The Cubs play the Cincinnati Reds at 2 p. m. today at Wrigley

General figures as to -yield per acre are not yet available but local yields were reported good. Present harvesting had already equalled last year’s total harvest, it was said, indicating that intensive field work had compensated for a lag in planting due to the unusually severe winter.
