BIG Ben, wake me early, for tomorrow is the first of May. WB shall not even be polite enough to say 'good bye-' to Miss April, whose shameless lingering in old Winter's lap is town's talk. SINCERELY hope we're not dalled on to introduce Gen. Joffrc at any public gathering, for despite our French at college we simply can't pronounce his honor's name.

WE'LL bear high prices without a murmur if it's for the good of the war, but if they are due to food speculation can't see why the government doesn't enlarge the prisons.

IF the cost of provisions keep up it will become so that the burglary insurance companies will quit soliciting business from jewelers and diamond brokers in order to take in fatter premiums writing policies for grocers and butchers.

New Mexico sliding into the water at launching at New York navy yard; Miss J)e Baca, its christener. The battleship New Mexico, which was launched at the New York navy yard last Monday, compares favorr ably offensively and defensively with any fighting ship aboat. She will have a displacement of 32,000 tons, a length of 620 feet over all, a mean draft of thirty feet, and a speed of twenty-one knots. She was designed to carry a main battery of twelve 14-inch grins of the latest naval model, together with twenty-two 5-inch guns, four 6-pounders, four anti-aircraft guns and four torpedo tubes. The vessel was christened by Miss Margaret C. De Baca, daughter of a former governor of N;ew Mexie.

with the dignity and solemnity that fittingly characterize the making of a rigorous but righteous war.

NOW, when our little town, which is half made up of foreigners, can enlist in three weeks more soldiers for the army than were obtained in the proud old states of Maryland, Vermont, Delaware and New Hampshire combined, we wonder what blue blood and colonial ancestors are worth anyhow.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION DELEGATES-AT-LAEGE. The editor of the Covington Republican suggests some of these men for the list of fifteen delegates-at-large: Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, than whom no better man Ci"uld be suggested to preside over the ronvention. Samuel M. Ralston, former governor, whose recent knowledge of tile state government and its needs would be invaluable. Albert J. Beveridgre. former senator, one of the world's keenest students of constitutions. John W. Kern, fornior United States senator. whose ab;i;tes would indeed be useful. .1. Kmnk llaniy. former g-overnor. who. while of late devoted solely to the prohibition lisjlH. is bv no ni"ans a one idea man. Will 1 T.

Stout, editor of the Indiana Paily Times. a Hoosier newspaper man with ideals and an intimate knowledge of the institutions and people of the state. Arthur It.

The list is good, but it. could be improved considerably, tt lakes in no one residing in the Calumet steel belt, which contains the industrial center of the slate and its fastest growing district.

LADIES' SPORT BLOUSE. By Anabfrl Worthington.

of these smart-looking sports blouses in her wardrobe. They are indispensable for the womaa who enjoys ontdoor life, as they always look trim and neat and at the same time allow freedom of movement. The one shown in No. 8310 is the newest fad in blouses and sweaters a slip-on, which goes over the head and has no other opening. It is perforated for two yengths, the 45 inch, which suggests the Russia style, and the 32-inch, which many will prefer for sports wear. It may be made with or without the collar and sleeves. Slash or patch pockets r.re a matter of choice. A narrow sash is loosely tied at the front These blouses ere being made up in wool or silk jersey, pongee, sport lilks or cotton materials. The sport blouse pattern. No. 8310, is cut in five sizes : 34 to 42 inches bust measure. As on the figure the 32 inch length in 3G-ineh size requires yards of 36 inch plaia material, with lg yards of 88 inch contrasting goods.

is not close enough in touch with sta'e affairs any more. Ex-Governor Dnrbin would be better. Ex-Governor Ralston just out of the statehouse should know its needs. Either Kern or Hanly could be supplanted by others. The

Judge Eichorn of Bhiffton, has br-en a keen student of social comii tions and would make a good delegate. Editor Lock wood of Muncie. should !be in the convention by all means and Editor Stout of Indianapolis has ! qualifications as stated. John H. Stoll of South Rend, has been an Indiana ! editor for years and knows the state. Mr. McGill is capable, but if it is a manufacturer to bp chosen why not select him from the heart of all injdustry, Lake county? There are any number of executives in Hammond.

TIME FOR A CHANGE. We do not fear the impending culinary contretemps. The kitchen may come to be a' lonely place, but it is a cinch that the path to the garbage pail u, not going to be trod so heavily. It is a time for sacrifice in little things. We have been living, as a people, on an extravagant scale. We have, wasted our food as if there were an abundant and never failing supply, though the world is facing another crop shortage. Our government estimates are portentous. Hhe outlook for The wheat harvest Is darkv And yet we are expected to furnish more wheat this year than last, year for the allies our allies. Higher prices confront us. Shall we go on -with elaborate dinners and banquets as if the granaries of the country were filled to bursting and the cattle ranches overstocked? A season of plainer living and thinking would do us good. Our bodies and minds would he the better for it. The last few years have been a time of physical and intellectual overfeeding. Our "literature" and "art" have suffered from dyspepsia and nerves. We need a diet of simplicity and seriousness to put us in trim again, declares the Providence Journal. The war has wrought just strh a change in Europe. It has compelled men to slough off the unwholesome superfluities of life and turn their thoughts upon the realities that count in the end. It is a tremendous tragedy that has overtaken the belligerent countries beyond the sea; it is a solemn hour for us who stand at the threshhold of the great conflict. Let us meet our new responsibilities not with mere emotional patriotism but

POTATO REGULATORS IN ENGLAND. Here is some potato news from the Indon Times: "A number of summonses were heard at Birmingham and Handsworih yesterday for overcharging for potatoes. "Frank Wells. College Farm, Oscott, was fined 100, with 5 os. costs, for selling potatoes at ffil 10s. above the legal price. "Samuel Fisher, a market gardener, was fined 10 for selling potatoes above the maximum price, and George Snape was fined 40c. for purchasing them. Snape said he had to supply a munition works where 200 dinners were provided daily and he sold the. potatoes at cost price. "The Constitution club has decided that no potatoes shall be served at the club and that there shall be two meatless days instead of one Tuesdays and Fridays."

AN ILLUSTRIOUS OFFICE. Adjutant-General Harry B. Smith of Indiana, occupies no small office.

(it is an important one at this time and for the rest of the war will rar-k next to the governorship itself.

With a capable administration of the office General Smith, who has already shown considerable ability and who has won attention from the men in the guard for fair decisions, may figure in the state's history- The office and the opportunity affords U. All Indiana, not to count a grateful nation, remember with affection the name of that distinguished adjutant general of Indiana who served during similar times of stress, Lew Wallace. A responsible position, a man's po-

jsition. is occupied by General Smith.
