ABOUT THAT $25,000. It is proposed by a Group of Hammond men in thesee hard times to spend $25,000 in getting at the physical valuations of certain public utilities that operate in this locality. Just "why, we. wonder, is it necessary to spend S 25,000 in acquiring information that may be obtained for notbing by simply writing to the public, service commission of Indiana and enclosing a two cent stamp.

It will be good politics to let the French, for instance, reflect a bit on the implications of the British course with us. Convinced that they will have to pay not only the United States but their chief ally, they may be expected to frame their poitico-economic policy with this duty in mind. Britain's readiness to negotiate with us will smooth the way to an arrangement with France by both of her great creditors.

SETTLING OLD DISPUTE. President Harding's conciliatory intervention in the controversy between Chile and Peru over the provinces of Tacna and Arica as well timed. The ministers of the two South America countries at Washington have been carryng conversations on the subject but apparently have not nearly reached any conclusions. Chile is not

willing to concede anything more than a plebcscite in the disputed territory to determine to which country it shall

belong, or arbitration of that point alone, while Peru demands that the whole questions of interpretation of the Treaty of Aceon be arbitrated. The Peruvians contend that since the treaty was entered into almost 40 years ago Chile has diluted the population of Tacna and Arica so that now she is assured of a favorable vote if the question of allegiance is submitted to plebiscite. If President Harding's offer is accepted the American aim will be to bring about agreement on what sabject shall be arbitrated. It is apparent that both the disputants are disposed to listen to reason which gives ground for hope that they may fee Induced to adopt a course assuring peace between ttem.

A MID -WINTER COGITATION. In the course of a day's leisure hours an ordinarily active mind runs into many avenues of reflection. For what is apparently no reason whatever, we find ourselves suddenly wondering about things which before that moment we had always taken for granted. On the instant the commonplace may become tha fantastic, and the obvious may become mystifying. But when someone asks, "Why aren't barber shop ceilings put to proper use?" he raises a question that is not merely whimsical. It is a practical question: as tangible as the plaster and stucco of. which the ceiling is made. It is as wide and impending as the combined area of the ceilings of all the barbershops in the world. Why should this space be left blank and unused? Think of the number of eyes that gaze daily on barber shop ceilings: In practically all cases the owners of these eyes are in a receptive mood. Lying flat on their back they could give their minds over to observation and reflections such as could be stimulated in no other way. One wearies so quickly of even the most intricate pattern of design worked into the plaster of the ceiling, nd it is seldom that such contemplation is useful. . But a barber shop ceiling inscribed with suitable suggestions, with hints and comment of all kinds could be made of the source of much profit. Infinite is the number of suggestions which spring to that mind as suitable for this purpose. By a happy combination of material placed on tha ceiling in the direct line of vision of the victim in the barber chair we could suggest thoughts on the higher life, on morality, on politics, and on social and individual problems of all kinds. By an ingenious device of slides we might even give the customer a choice of topics to be displayed. As a final inducement to promote this use of barber shop ceilings' it is suggested that it would relieve the barber of the necessity cf entertaining his reclining and helpless guest. That alone would make it worth while.

BRITAIN TO PAY SOON The demonstration at Washington cf America's intention to require repayment of the loans made to 'Allied nations during the war has had the effect of stirring' the British to consider means of discharging -their obligation. It is reported from London plans for paying overdue interest are in the making and a treasury representative will soon come to this side to negotiate the contract. Presumably he will be empowered also to take up with the refunding commission provided for in. the pending bill arrangements for securing the principal of the indebtedness. As far as Great Britain is concerned it may be assumed the negotiations will preceed to a mutuaally satisfactory conclusion without a hitch Such, an outcome will be as much to the benefit of Great Britain as to the United States. It will put the English In position to call upon their Allies to make arrangements for paying what ia owed to them. The example Britain is prepared to set they will find it difficult to decline to follow. However, it is understood in London there will. be no demand for immediate payment.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Th most practical type of public ownership of public utilities is that which the Bell Telephone Is now urging upon its subscribers. "Put stock in the concern, and have a voice in the control and share of the earnings of the corporation that is serving yon," advises tha Bell, which sounds like good common sense and certainly is a sign of the times. Not so many years ago public service companies

were trying to corner outstanding stcck, herding straying shares back whenever possible into the hands of a few controlling factors. That wa-s the era of "the public be damned," which has given pace to the more modern thought, "the public be served." Doubtless, this sort of thing is due to become popular among organizations of the kind. No surer way could be fund to overcome the demand for Government ownership. It is as certain as night follows day that th owner of a few shares of profit-earning public utility stocks will be adverse to exchanging them for interestbearing bonds of low earning power that never can be expected to srrow in value.

Is Backache Making You Miserable?

Why put up with that nagging backache? You can't be happy when every day brings morning lameness, sharp, shooting pains and that dull, tired, all-worn-out feeling. You want to be well and the way to get well

correct it. Have you given any thought to your kidneys? Very likely a cold, chill or strain has slowed up your kidneys and that's why you have those racking backaches, stabbing pains, and that weak, depressed feeling. You may have headaches, too, with dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities. But don't worry! Just take things easier for awhile, and help your weakened kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. Assist the medicine, too, by drinking water freely, eating lightly and getting plenty of rest, fresh air and exercise. Doan's have helped thousands and should help you. Ask your neighbor! Read How These Hammond Folks Found Relief:

E. Thorn, Prop., furniture store, 328 N. Hohman St., says: "I sufierecJ from rheumatic pains in my back and limbs, I had no ambition to work. When I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills I did, and they soon drove away the pains and fixed up my kidneys.' Nearly three years later, Mr. Thorn said: " I am just as pleased to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills now as when I endorsed them before. My cure has remained permanent and I enjoy the best of health now."

Mrs. J. G. Hesterman. 335 E. State St. &ays: "I suffered from backache and kidney complaint. When I was washing, I had an awful pain right through my kidneys and it seemed to run up my spine. I had that awful misery in my back all the time. I was so nervous that the children speaking to me made me fly to pieces. I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills so I got a box. I noticed relief right away and the one box did me lots of good. I felt much better after taking them."

A. F. Robinson. 443 E. State St., says: "I can't use words strong enough in praise of Doaa's Kidney Pills, for I believe they saved me from an operation for gravel and bladder trouble. I had terrible pains in the lower part of my abdomen. I noticed a retention of the kidney secretions. When the secretions did pass, they were accompanied by a scalding sensation. I passed a good sized gravel stone and got instant relief. I had used about six boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills before this stone passed. I am now enjoying good health and give Doan's the credit for curing me."
