OUESTIOIIS TO BE EXTREMELY HARD

Man, to Pass State Accounting Board Quizz, Must Be Well Versed. WILL TEST HIS ABILITY EXAMINATIONS TO BE HELD FOR THE APPOINTMENT t OF FIELD EXAMINERS FOR INDIANA ACCOUNTING BOARD. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Sept. 25. The man that can pass successfully the examination that has been framed up for l him to test his fitness for appointment 'as a field examiner by the state accounting board will surely have a Tight, to congratulate himself. The i members of the board had a final conference with Governor Marshall and. they went over the list of one hundred questions which will be asked of the applicant Nothing was given out, of course, as to the nature of the questions, but W. A. DeHority, chief accountant, said that the questions will give a fair test to a man't ability to fill the position. The examination will be held in this city beginning next Tuesday and will continue two days. The board has re ceived applications from about 275 men who wish to be appointed field examiners, and it is expected that by the time of the examination the num ber will reach at least 300. They come from all parts of the state. To Name Thirty Men. It is understood that the board will appoint about thirty field examiners at the-start, and it is the intention of the board to have these thirty men at work In December. Extreme care will be exercised by the board in the selec tion of the men. as it is the purpose to get the very best men obtainable for the Jobs. John C. Billheimer, auditor of- state, has called attention to the necessity of getting the best men for the work. He says that if an examln er goes Into a county, for instance, and Investigates-the treasurer's office and finds the treasurer $10,000 short it is not likely that the treasurer will allow the shortage to stand, or the report to be accepted without a fight This will mean that he will come to Indianapolis or go to some other city and employ an expert accountant of his own at $35 a day to go over his books and accounts to see whether the report of the field examiner is correct. If this expert makes a different report and Shows - that the state examiner " is wrong it will mean a lawsuit : Then in a lawsuit If the court finds that the state examiner made a mistake it will be a serious matter. Billheimer points out that a few instances of this character would give the accounting law a very black eye. For this reason the board will try to get the best men for the places, men whose testimony would stand the last of the law and the courts. Speaking of the use of oxygen in the fast illness of E. H. Harriman, an officer of one of the largest concerns that manufacture oxygen said that little of the gas had been used, com pared with the amount not infrequent ly consumed in cases of desperate sickness. "I understand that not mora than twelve hundred gallons were used at Arden," he said. "Oxygen whole' ales for 2 cents a gallon and the druggists through whom private consumers have to get it sell it for about 5 cents. That would make the Harriman bill only about $00. I happen to know that the oxygen bill for the last illness of Bishop Potter was $1,500, and a year or so ago $5,000 was spent In oxygen to assist In saving the life of a well-known steel man. In sucn cases, however, they do not use an in haler, but keep the room filled with artificial oxygen." i Tea was cultivated In China 2,700 years before the Christian era and in that country was first used as a bev erage.

He Says Fleas Infest FlatRefuses Pay Rent: Gets Sued

Chicago, Sept 25. The wicked flea in battalions has so seriously Inconvenienced the family of A. S. Mitchell, treasurer of the Consolidated Casualty company, that Mr. Mitchell, the fleas, Mr. Mitchell's landlady, Mrs. Frank L. Smith, of 1425 East Sixty-third place, and Mr. Mitchell's lease have gone to the mat about It Mr. Mitchell declares that one bright warm morning last August he plucked from his person fleas to the number of 110. Forty-five of the agile ramblers Mr. Mitchell discovered on his Immaculately groomed and perfectly tailored person after he had dressed for the street and was about to depart for his office. In consternation he took a freshly laundered sheet, spread it on the kitchen floor, carefully, disrobed and separated the remaining fifty-five fleas from his apparel. Mrs. Smith, when asked about th)3, expressed wonder that Mr. Mitchell could catch so many fleas all at once, and also how he had managed to count them without a previous capture. The Mitchell family leased from Hopkins & Luther, agents for Mrs. Smith, a four room flat at 1423 East Sixty-Third place, at a rental of $57.50 a month. Oct. 1 the least expired and Aug. 28 the Mitchell family Is said to have left, leaving the September rent TEMPLES FOR LABOR They Exercise a Salutary Effect on the Movement. A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. Permanent Homti Give Fere and Solidity to the Unions Possessing Thorn Aid In Cementing tho Bonds of Fellowship. It should be the aim of unlojn labor In every city of our country which has a population of union men exceeding a thousand members to build a home, writes M. Grant Hamilton, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor. This question has been agitated in a number of industrial centers, but as yet only a few have built temples devoted exclusively to organized labor. On the other hand, in practically all the cities that make any pretense in the oemmercial field buildings devoted to the uses of chambers of commerce and boards of trade have been erected. This represents the in terest manifested by business men in the commerce of their respective cities, and there Is no reason why organized labor should not build for itself a home wherever union labor is suffi ciently strong to maintain a permanent abode. Buildings devoted to the exclusive use of organized labor havh had a salutary effect In bringing closer together the members of our various organizations. In Seattle organized labor built a temple three stories high and upon its completion found It to be inadequate to Its needs and Immediately added another story. This enterprise is paying 6 per cent interest on the Investment, and the rents of the various organiza: tions making use of this building have been materially reduced. San Francisco also has a labor tem ple of its own, and I am Informed that It also is a profitable investment. Kansas City is Just completing a labor temple. In the latter city they have been trying for some twelve years to build a temple which when completed will be entirely free of debt, which win be some time In the near future. They will have a build ing that will be a credit to the labor i cause. There Is no reason why the members of our movement should not make an effort in every city and town where unions are in sufficient number to erect for themselves a place where all members of the various crafts might find a common meeting place. It not only advances the best interests of unionism as a whole, but gives the individual members a stimulus in their efforts to further build up the movement. In every city where a home has been erected for organized labor it is found that it Is more effective than In places where the organizations are scattered throughout the various parts of the city. So far as the investment is concerned, It Is Indeed a profitable one to all organisations participating. In the temples of labor which have been erected we find reading rooms where are to be found practically all of the labor press, both local and international, a large number of our members taking advantage -of the same. Our efforts have been expended along the lines of education, and in the reading rooms of the few temples which are now being conducted we find that -much attention Is being paid by the members to the current literature of our cause. : It Is also true that where a common meeting place Is provided you will always find the active members of labor unions congregated, and it necessarily follows that discussions are entered fnto beneficial to our movement as a result, of the mingling and commingling of our affiliates. It is not a very difficult undertak ing for a body of men to commence the building of a structure which would be necessary for the use of organized labor, but it does take some persistence and good Judgment. In some cities It might be advisable to incorporate in the building of a structure a commercial enterprise. The lower floor could be fitted np for rent. This entails a larger expenditure of money than would be necessary to construct a building devoted to the exclusive use of our unions. Every central body tn the United States should take this matter under consideration and appoint committees for the purpose of making investigations and instituting a campaign to further this worthy pro, est Fraternity In labor onions can be Increased greatly by providing adequate and comsfiOdkMis meeting halls. - At stated : Intervals, provision could be

unpaid. Mr. Mitchell claims he did this merely to fulfill his threat made months previous that he would move unless the landlady or her agents did something to exterminate the fleas. The agents retorted by filing suit against Mitchell in the First District

court for $57.50, the amount of the unpaid September rent Mrs. Smith, it is alleged, says she stands ready to expend $5,000 in order to force Mr. Mitchell to pay that one month's rent Mr. Mitchell is equally emphatic in his assertion that if necessary he will pay out $15,000 in order to fight Mrs. Smith. Mr." Mitchell says that when he returned home at night, instead of enjoying bis evening paper in peace and quiet he had to get up and .. chase fleas. All night long the wicked flea pursued, he alleges, and sleep was a nightmare. Breakfast he claims, was but a mockery, thanks to the fleas. Promises to eradicate the pest were plentiful as the pest Itself, according to Mr. Mitchell. Both Mrs. Smith and her agents are positive in their statements that there never were any fleas in the flat; that no tenant ever moved out because of them, and that Mitchell is merely seeking to avoid paying rent made Tor " uic us&ions tn fne various topics In which organized labor is represented. The member would become interested in the activities of the general movement If opportunities which are afforded by a temple of unionism were presented to him. The acquisition of property by the labor organizations in the shape of a structure dedicated to the use of the movement would not only be an object of pride, but give to the, owners a firmer foothold and higher standing in the community. Our movement is not only Interested fn the welfare of Its individual members, but in all public agitation which has for Its purpose the betterment of existing conditions. The force of our organizations would be greatly Increased in every locality where we maintain a permanent home for our unions. Our opinions in civic matters would be given greater consideration, and from every point of view the movement wonld be adequately recompensed. WALKEH ISSECURED Judge of Marion County Probate Court Will Speak In This City. ON MUNICIPAL RESEARCH Judge Merle N A. Walker,, for a number of years judge of the Marion county probate court, has accepted an invitation to speak on the subject of municipal research, at the open meeting of the Commercial club, Monday evening, October 11. He will discuss the subject in a general way and not on any specific cases. This will be the first meeting of th? club to consider Municipal Research work. The club's committee on the subject has had the matter under con-, sideration for several months, but has made no report. It probably will make a general report at this meeting. Such matters as the water worUs franchise, and other questions pertaining to mu nicipalities have been considered. The reputation of Judge Walker as an interesting and instructive speaker is well known to many of the professional and business men of the city. As judge of the probate court, he has had ample opportunity to investigate the subject. Howard was only twenty months older than the baby. He had somehow come to realize that Elwood, who was creeping, was moor likely to be in mis chief when quiet. One day he called to bis mother with a great deal of anxiety in his little voice, "Mamma, 1 hear Elwood keeping still." The Delineator. : FISH FRY. Tonight, Waldorf Genuine Blue Gill Fish.

Of Course You Can When Your

Chicago, Sept 25. Were you an elephant a dog or a cat or simply a common Western coyote, before your last reincarnation? If you have any doubts about the matter attend a new series of lectures by Mr. C. Jlnarajadasa of Colombo, Ceylon, before the Chicago Society-of Theosophy, at which he promises to explain all these questions. ' "I'll tell all about this tranwnieration of souls business at these lectures of mine," confidently remarked Mr. C. Jlnarajadasa last night The Ceylon lecturer was passing around posters explaining how at the coming lectures in Assembly hall. Northwestern university building, he would tell all about clairvoyance, the laws that govern the soul's appearance as man or woman in the various reincarnations and the types of evolution in Mars and the other planets, i He refused to say whether in some past incarnation he was Mark Antony or Socrates or to make any statement BEVERIDEE WILLBE THE BUSIEST MAN III INDIANA (Continued From Page One.) in the best of shape to attend to hard work. But with scores of place hunters on bis trail, and more scores of delegations calling on him in the interest of certain rival candidates for positions and all it the other 'duties that constantly crowd upon him his life for the three months is not likely to be one long sweet song. Some one asked Senator Beveridge as soon as he lit in the city, whether he had anything to say on the subject of President .Taffs Winona speech in which he scolded the insurgent senators who opposed the Payne and Aidrich tariff bills. The senator declined to say anything whatever on that subject. Of course, it was not expected that he would discuss the speech right off the bat as soon as he arrived home. Whether ho will have anything to say about it in the future only he himself knows. Most people believe, however, that when he does speak, if he speaks at all on the subject, he will confine his comment to the mere statement that he made the fight that he believed was right and the kind that he believed the people "wished him to make, and that he is not convinced that he was wrong. A Good Deal of Talk. There is a good deal of talk to the effect that the speech of President Taft in which he practically read the insurgent senators out of the republi

Going to be President, Boy? Chicago School Man Says No

Chicago, Sept. 25. E. O. Cooley, former superintendent of the Chicago public schools, declares that the idea that every boy may some day be president of the United States is an exploded one and that schools should no longer train the youths of the country along that line. His utterances on this subject and several others are contained in an ar ticle In the October issue of the Educational Monthly, issued from the Chicago Normal school yesterday. He also utters some mild criticism of the "reformers" who managed to keep Mr. Cooleyvs administration of the city's educational institutions In the limelight most of the t'rae. "Most educator appreciate the fact," he says, "that there must be changes in our system of education to suit the changed conditions of time, and some, like Rousseau, are for turning the car absolutely around and heading it the other way. These reformers seem to think that the farther we get from the paths of our forefathers the surer we shall be of doing the right thing for our sons. "The leisure clas3 theory of society has dominated the educational theories of the school." "The privilege of acquiring the social heritage has been given to certain selected members of society who were planning to follow the professions. While we have talked glibly about giv RELIABLE

-Remember Soul Was Elephant

regarding Mrs. Annie Besant's assertions that during various periods her soul inhabited persons of world-wide prominence. "Most men and women evolved from elephants," said Jlnarajadasa. "They are the most sagacious of beasts and on the transmigration of their souls they nearly always become men or women." j "What sort of man do you think old Tom, the Lincoln park elephant would make?" he was asked. Without replying to the question Jlnarajadasa continued: "Now,- you find a good-hearted, loyal man and you can know that at one time he was a dog. If you know a person to be a secretive sort of fellow who always keeps to himself, he was a cat But I must not talk any more. I'll explain everything In my lectures." These lectures start Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock and will be continued each Sunday afternoon until Nov. 30. can party has made a great deal of trouble in the party in Indiana, but it is pointed out on the other hand that the party will not allow any difference of opinion on the tariff question to cut any figure In the next campaign. The party, it is pointed out, will not allow any differences . to arise along that line to mar the chances of success at the next state election. To do so would mean certain defeat of the party at the polls, and it is not to be expected that the leaders of the party will seek such an end.,. Mrs. Beveridge and their little son will arrive . from the east next Tuesday. ' Senator Beveridge has accepted several " invitations to sneak during the next few weeks. He will speak at Washington next Sunday night; South Bend, September 28; Lagrange, October 8 and Indianapolis, October 7. HVENTS A POWDER ' Frank Flora, a druggist, at New Castle, has invented a new kind of powder according to accounts in the New Castle papers. The powder a said to be the most powerful of any on the market and is also smokeless. He has been working on the invention for a number of years. Flora says that ne has perfected it and will place it on the market. He says that Instead of cleaning out the barrels of guns with oil after using the powder, that water is the more effective to cut the residue left from the discharge. Piinu: Be sure to use Gold Medal Flour. Isabella. ing everybody a chance to become j president of the United States, every; one knows that the chances of this ; happening are only one in several mil- j lions. These chances hardly justify; keeping the training of all children along the lines that seem likely to profit the few. Such a theory of opportunity as this can hardly be called democratic "It is evident that this so-called democratic opportunity of becoming president is not a real opportunity to get the kind of education demanded by the conditions of modern times. "We seem to be ready to care for the fortunate youth who is able to remain in school until he is 18 years of age, giving him Inetruction that will fit him for the professions, with all the advantages of our splendid high school equipment. We seem to grudge the poor boy, who is compelled to go ;to work .the opportunity to attend an evening school for more than four or five months.'

Anty Drudge Causes a Panic in Washbeilers. 'Anty Drudge "Well, well, well ! So my work is beginning to show even in tho store windows. When I see) washboilers offered at half price, I feel just as though the -women were thanking me for releasing them from the slavery of the old-fashioned washday, with its back-breaking rubbing its ruinous boiling and its sickening smell. For Fels-Naptha changes washday to play-day."

Modern progress hasn't forgotten the ( woman at the tub. Fels-Naptha proves that. Time was when medicine wasn't considered good unless it was strong: enough or tasted bad enough half to choke the patient. Some folks who don't know about that new way of washing think that washday must be a day of seething suds, scald ing water, perspiration and general misery But Fels-Naptha is converting these people who have been tied to the not-good-enough method. You see there is a way to wash clothes summer or winter in cool or lukewarm water, a way that saves your strength, your time and your temper, and preserves the garments from the ruinous fibre-destroying boiler. That way is the Fels-Naptha way. Look for the red and ffreen wrapper.
