MOTORISTS INVADING Indianapolis from the north may get the idea it has a disgruntled citizenry. A carload of people coming in fiom Noblesville report one of the first things that greeted their eyes’ driving-in was a large neon “Shell” sign. You guess what letter was burned out... . Here's an egg-citing {tem. Mrs. Ella Ward, 1664 College ave., brought

- some .add shaped eggs back from Monroe, La. One's

shaped something like a gourd, another resembles

-a bomb. Some Plymouth Rock and some Rhode

Island Reds are supposed to be responsible. .. An agent who overheard the conversation.of two women in a nylon line set us to wondering. about line-stander-inners in general. One woman was" telling

" the other that she waited and waited in what she

thought was a nylon line, only to find out it was rayons that were being sold. THe other countered with an’ even better story. She'd stood in the line waiting for nylons and got to the counter where they were selling not nylons, but men’s underwear. . « « No wonder the Indianapolis Railways say fares must be boosted. The newest busses no longer have a buzzer that sounds when a passenger wants off, No sirree! Pull a cord and you get a real classy soundIng chime. . . . That reminds us of a cryptic note some patron penciled on a placard on the outside of a city bus. The card said something to the effect that no other city has good bus service for a 6% cent fare. “Neither does Indianapolis,” wrote the heckler.

Arch * Bobbitt, city corporation counsel, has his ups and downs, not the least of which was his experience in the elevator at the Canary Cottage. The city lawyer stepped into the selfoperating elevator to go to thé Press club but held the door open a minute for some women who were on their way in. Holding the door must have made him look too obliging, because one woman commented to the other: “Isn't it nice to have an operator?”

The Loyal Zombie By Nat A. Barrows

SHERWOOD FOREST, England, March 5.—As old miners always do, this old miner was grumbling suspiciously. The particular complaint happened to be Britain's

“paye” (pay as you earn) system and he wouldn't 4

work overtime at the coalface and have most of it go in taxes. Not ’'im, “The war's- bloody well over and thee'd think I'm a ruddy fool to work for nought,” whined the old collier. . “Can't buy nothing in the bloody stores, not a sweet Fanny Adams, so why break my ruddy back for nought. Aye, Yank, I've done me blinkin share, I ave.” . “Does ‘ear me, Yank: Me blinkin’ share. That's

“wot.”

We had another light. ale and then, in a crusading mood, I told him about Leif, the man who did his share, too. It's the kind of story the “soft peace for Germany” advocates don’t like to hear.

Once Handsome Giant LEIF is a zombie. He is an apparition that moves like a robot. You speak to him and he stares blankly. You recall old wartime memories in Scotland and London and Stockholm and he grins, only half comprehending. ’ In those days the Leif T knew was a tall, hand some, blond giant, with a sparkling laugh and a gay personality. * ”

Science

THE BIKINI ATOLL test of the atomic bomb against naval vessels is scheduled for next summer, but the navy -has already brought in its plans for “the kind of establishment it wishes to maintain.

Secretary of Navy Forrestal and Fleet’ Adm. we need also to know the trend of developments &in|

Nimitz have presented the senate .naval affairs coms-"

mittee with a plan that calls for a navy greater in surface vessels and airplanes than the combined navies of the rest of. the world. It likewise contemplates a greater number of bases than any other single country—33 in the Pacific and 20 in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. The bill for this will be $5,073,000,000 next year and $3,500,000,000 per year thereafter. By comparison, it is interesting to recall that our navy cost us $1,000,000,000 in 1939 but $30,000,000,000 in the last year of world war IL As the war against Japan ended, one of the admirals was quoted as saying, in essence, that the atomic bomb was all right, but he would" take a fast carrier force for his money any day. z

Ideal Is Fantastic

THE LINCOLN DAY speech of Adm. Nimitz seems to have been somewhat in the same vein." The burden of his remarks was that while many people would interpret the atomic bomb test to mean that navies were doomed, such an idea was fantastic in the extreme. ' * Now, I think, in all probability, that it would be fantastic in the extreme for the nation to think that *it could scrap the navy at any time. But I think it would be a swell idea to wait until after the Bikini, Atoll test before we tried to judge the results of the test. I think that is one reason why many people are glad that President Truman has decided to appoint

SECOND SECTION,

THE FATHERS ASSOCIATION of Broad Ripple high school is looking forward-to March 13 with the same enthusiasm it devotes to

{all the activities in which it has be-

me engaged in the three years of

"| its existence.

On that date the association will take over the Parent-Teacher association program. Dean Louis H. Dirks of DePauw university will speak on “Horse Sense.” The lecture, however, will not be intended for members of the association if achievement .is any criterion. » o ” 4 EVIDENCE of that fact is the long string of successes behind the young organization. Outstanding accomplishments are the new east wing for the school which the. school commissioners have promised and improvements to Compton st. between 59th and -63d sts, which have been approved by the works board and the street department, Construction of the east wing, which is to house. 15 new. class rooms, will begin as soon as a bid’ has been selected from those submitted by construction companies. . " » “ THE STREET department will go to work on the street repairs “as soon ag weather conditions permit.” Compton st., which carries the bulk

many fields.

Bigger Atomic Bombs

WE HAVE BEEN assured by the scientists who worked on the atomic bomb project that ever bigger and bigger atomic bombs are within the range of possibility. We must remember also that there will be a constant improvement in all sorts of radar-| controlled rockets and other guided missiles. Every | guided missile can become the carrier of an atomic |

bomb. Granted that we do need a navy, what kind of ships do we need? The Prince of Wales and the Repulse proved sitting ducks for the Japanese divebombers. Radar, electric gun-pointers, new anti-air-craft guns and the radio-proximity fuse transformed our ships into the powerful task forces that sailed up to the very shores of Japan. But what of the future? As the war ended we were using fockets on landing barges which were said to deliver at close range the firepower of a battleship. Even without the atomic bomb, it may be that our battleships would have been in for some drastic overhauling. ¥ , Much has been made of the fact that it cost $2,000,000,000 to develop the atomic bomb. But this is less than the proposed navy plan will cost annually. How much ought we spend next year on the study of atomic energy? Let us be certain that when we: spend billions for security that we are getting what we think we are

buying.

Immigration Quotas . I AM TOLD there is a bill in congress which proposes to cut our immigration quotas in half. I understand that it is supported by many people on the ground that it would help to prevent unemployment in this country. Our immigration quotas are small now but, to many people, being included ‘in the quota means the difference between life and death, between hope and despair. ; : If we would give more thought to getting into full production and producing the goods which the world needs, so:that other nations could be our customers five years from row, I think we could use the new labor. And as a result of the new. purchasing power which that labor would create, I think we would find ourselves better off. I found myself, the other evening, sitting down to reread in & book my own answers to questions which have appeared ‘in a national magazine. To my surprise, the answers seemed quite new and almost as though some-one else had writtery them! Even though the book is ely only a reprinting of what has already appe in a magazine, still

It's 4 to | Odds

You Didn't

Have a Proper Breakfast

Here's a tip for the autocrats of | the breakfast table. If your eating habits are normal, the odds are about four to one you didn’t have a proper breakfast this morning!

Facts released today by. the Indiana State Medical association of a survey recently made among schopl childrén in an eastern city showed that only 273 out of 1028 had an adequate breakfast ,.. and the survey. was made among all income levels. Authorities, basing their recommendations on the fact that the body's fuel system needs some re-| plenishing after the 12 or 14 hour fast sincé dinner the night before, say a good ‘breakfast should include fruit — preferably citrus —a whole

grain cereal, enriched bread, an egg and milk. ; Only 50 per cent of the children studied had milk for breakfast, while 39 per cent had citrus fruit. More than 32 per cent had a cold reakfast and 16 per cent had none at all. Nutrition experts frown on the fact that many had chocolate milk or cocoa. These beverages, they say, produce over stimulation.

Many of the children reported that they had sweet breads which are deficient in value because they are usually made with flour that is not enriched. Les§ than 25 per cent had a whole grain cereal for breakfast. The pro and con battle of breakfast is an old one. But doctors say you should eat it. .

which collected them in the eight

states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota and part of Indiana.

Blue Tokens Sold

For two months, by parcel post land railway express, millions of the red tokens were shipped here. As they arrived they were weighed and stored in a big warehouse, where they rest today. : The 30 tons of tokens occupy 432 square feet of floor space, on which rental must be paid. By day they are guarded by a watchman, by night. by an electric burglar alarm. A short while ago the OPA got rid of some blue tokens it had recalled. Some bright manufacturer bought some of, the blue tokens, thinking he could find a use for them. But the bright manufacturer found out he wasn’t so bright, after all. He couldn't’ think of a thing to do with the tokens. Suggestions Invited “The OPA has promised congress it will destroy or deface the tokens. But this presents problems: Apparently, judging by the manufacturer’s experience, they can't be reprocessed. They don’t burn ‘well. To dump them in a lake would entail trucking and boat charges. No slot machine company wants them, because the slot machine business is conducted in cold cash, The OPA still is looking for the most economical way to dispose of them and would welcome sugges-! tions.

THE ‘NERVOUS system is the connecting link between the various parts of the body and between the body and: the outside world. The central nervous: system, consisting of the brain, sping] cord, and nerves, controls voluntary acts. There is a separate.nervous system for the control of the automatic actions of the body. Glands of internal secretion also play their part by helping both these nervous systems handle their jobs. The brain, which is located In

by a firm case of bone, It is covered by three membranes called] the meninges. The ‘brain is the place in which we record impressions we receive from the special senses of sight. hearing, taste, smell, and feeling. The sensations of pain and temperas
