' HOW LONG MUST WE STAND IT? A Chicago father permitted his fifteen-year-old girl to come into Indiana on Sunday driving a high-powered engine of death, and pick up a load of Chil How the girl and her human freight of twelve ever got as far as they did. Tvhen to drive into Indiana from Chicago hy way of Hammondis a job that takes iron nerve, is inexplicableBut at Ridge Road the- car was overturned, twelve children under it, one of them ten months oldNow that father ought to be in the penitentiary. How a human being in full possession of his senses could ever permit such a deed is a mystery He must be either crazy or a fool. It is just such ignorant Ch'icagoans who either come into. Lake county, or permit their dependents to come, who caused three-fourths of the motor accidents In the region. . " Are the roads made for Chicagoans, or have Lake county people any rights on them at all? Must we remain home to escape drunken Chicago joy-riders and children-drivers?

THE BIBLE, THE MIRROR OF HUMANITY. Bible study will soon form a part of the regular credit work of all the high schools in the state if plans now contemplated by the University are adopted. What the average high school graduate of today knows about the Bible is confined to the legends of Adam and Eve, the age of Methuselah, the story of Moses perhaps, and the coming of Jesus. He has merely hit the high places and knows 'little of the rich treasures between its lids. Yet, without a thorough knowledge of the Bible, real culture is impossible- Read either as a divine revelation or for it3 literary value, it is easily the greatest of books- It is both The Book of Life and a book of life, for nowhere is life treated with more of candor and courage. Human nature moves in naked pageantry across its pages- Virtue and vice, love and hatred, simplicity and cunning, greed and goodness, go hand in hand. -It hides nothing, speaks plainly, and affords scant comfort to prudes and purists, who. while they know in a vague way what somebody else thinks about the Bible, know little about that blessed old book itself- Its style is rich and varied, it3 narrative the most concise and complete in the world. There are broad highways running through it along which moves the spectacle of the whole ancient world at its best and worst little bypath3. wandering down which one meets the most human of men and women. In fact, no book in the world is comparable to it, either in substance or treatment Education without it is impossible. Paris (Mo.) Mercury. SOME one has started movement to supply local soldier boys with Bibles. Plan Is all right- And when that's done see that they have enough tobacco. OF course, that $10,000 reform fund they want to raise in Gary is not to .be known as the W'.'F. Hodges mayoralty campaign fundST. LOUIS is almost ashamed to death of East St. Louis- But Chicago views with pride her little sister. East Chicago. WITH the war only three months along, all that Judge Gary and tne other eminent steel magnates have done is to raise the price of iron only S3 per cent. Just wait until we are at war six months.

BEHOLD THE STARS. Occasionally more often than occasionally we should withdraw, as it were, from the thousand and one terrestrial problems around us, and again stand beneath the open window of the wide, star-lighted firmament. And what a firmament It is! how stupendous, majestic! A darkened firmament where trillions of miles seem like a cipher, whose breadth is may be measurable but whose depth is absolutely incalculable- Trillions and trillions of miles! a sidereal gulf into which we might imagine ourselves to fall, with a velocity of nearly 200,000 miles per second, fall, and fall for more than 34 years before we reach yonder blue and beautiful star Vega of the constellation Lyra. As we stand beneath the open window of the wide, bespangled firmament it is indeed difficult to believe that blue, brilliant, beautiful Vega is so very remote-" Like a veritable sky diamond she sparkles clearly, not far seemingly from where the Northern Cross shines conspicuously against the dim and distant background of the Milky "Way. And still deeper amid this depthless depth of celestial space, now glowing and gleaming like some vast, fiery, firmamental beacon, we behold Arcturws of Bootes, descending night by night, further and further towards the west In the southwest, below glowing and gleaming Arcturus, we see white ' Spica so remote from

CAMOUFLAGE. Camouflage is supposedly the new French art of concealing objects by means of painting. It is employed for military purposes, to deceive the other side. Thus the skill of an artist may be used to give a perspective that looks like a barn, whereas it may corceal & battery of artillery; or the painting of bushes set across the road may enable troops to pas3 behind it, quito unconcealedBut camfoulage is not new around here. The French know only of military camouflage. In Gary political and industrial camouflage is used. Thus the world is shown the picture of a great corporation rendering a service to a community by controlling the public utilities as they concern water, gas and electricity. Camouflage covers up the high prices charged Thus the people of Gary think that they have a park, deeded by a great corporation. Yet if one brushes aside the camouflage It is seen that the deed only holds good as long as no rival concern gets a utility franchiseThu3 the clergy and others who adhere to prohibition get a perspective that the chiefs of a great corporation are for "dry" efficiency, yet they control what is probably the most profitable siloon site in Indiana, set opposite the mills, obtaining the beer and whiskey patronage of the workmen before any other saloonkeeper has a chance to g?t the money. Thus, too, at times the impression is given, out that certain satraps of high war profiteers are behind a reform clean-up crusade- Yet penetrating the guisa of camouflage, it is seen that if the move isn't for political purposes it is to sequester fat contracts. Camouflage at this minute covers the real purposes of the "Committee of- Fifteen," which springs into being on the eve of a city political campaign. Indeed, camouflage is so extensively employed at Gary that the French are shown up as mere amateurs in the art of using it-

THEY ARE HARD TO PLEASE. Will H. Hayes, chairman of the State Council cf Defense, finds how hard it is to please some friends of the present administraticn. If Republicans offer to help in the war with Europe, they are accused of doing it for political effect; if they criticize, they are unpatriotic. Evidently the only thing for them to do is wait until they are commanded, and then obey without asking any questions. Mr. Hayes has been working like a Trojan to help the national administration, and now the Democratic press of the state pays it is simply because he want3 to be the next govert or or president oi something like that.

The Cost of Glasses When you think of having your eyes examined and of the possibility of wearing glasses, the matter of cost naturally arises- As in everything else, "good work, careful, skillful work is apt to cost more than work less goodThere Is nothing you buy for your personal use that you ought to be more careful about, than these glasses that you are going to depend upon to preserve and assist your eyesight. The reason that we have succeeded so well and that our optical business has grown so satisfactorily is that the Best Work Is given in every case and a reasonable price is charged. John E. McGarry JEWELER OPTOMETRIST 599 HOHMAN ST., HAMMOND.
