As teacher and pupil become better acquainted more effective work will be the result. Teachers must have checked carefully with the thought of being helpful. Conferences concerning grades and check marks are invited. Much tardiness can be avoided if parents and pupils bear in mind the changes in the time schedule for this year. Pupils must be in their rooms before 8:35 a. m. and 1:05 p. m. . The state board of education has named October 24 as Americanization day in the public schools of Indiana.

AUTOMOBILES

Oct. 18, 1919. Dear Sir: Climbing eight torturous miles to height of nearly 5,000 feet in the amazing time of 19 minutes and 4 seconds, a stock Essex just recently defeated all competitors in the light car class Ini the race to the “Rim-’o-the-World” at Sian Bernardino, Calif. But, not content with this victory, the same Essex won second place against the entire field, the only car making better time in the contest being one costing nearly twice as much and having more than double the piston displacement. The terrifflc punishment, of those 19 crowded minutes probably represent years of ordinary usage. And while you may never wish to accomplish such a feat, it is good to know what your car can do ff the emergency arises. The demand for the Essex has far- outstripped the supply. It is only by placing your order now that you can succeed in getting one. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.

Hines Urges Return of Roads. Indianapolis, Oct. 17* —With sharp division of sentiment In respect to the future of the nation’s railroad apparent In the ranks of utilities experts amending the sessions of the National Association of Railways and Utilities Commissioners, attention of the convention was turned to the electric carrier situation, admitted to be almost as serious as that confronting the steam lines. Means of keeping the electric lines solvent without boosting fares to a prohibitive rate —a question that confronts practically every regulatory body of the country—was one of the problems threshed out at a special conference on electric railroads. Differences of opinion regarding action relative to the return of the steam carriers to private ownership January 1, which marked divisions in the convention Wednesday, cropped out again on the heels of an address by Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, at a dinner for the commissioners. The railroads of the nation face collapse next year unless congress takes steps by December to relieve the owners of the roads of the uncertainty under which they are laboring and pave the way for their release from federal conrol, declared J the director general. Legislation should be enacted before the opening of the new year.
