Council voted down the resolution presented, asking for the improvement of the Peacock road from West Fifth to Eighth street, north of Chestnut street, and Chestnut street, from Eighth to Fifth, under the three-mile gravel road law. All of the councilmen present voted "No," when the roll call was made. They explained their votes by saying that they did not believe the improvement was necessary and that it would benefit but a few people. As it is customary, complaints about sewers, streets, alleys and gutters were heaped upon the board of works by the councilmen last evening. Also, as usual, the city fathers in "defending the rights and making the kicks for their constituents" blamed the board of works. "That's all right, just knock the board," the mayor replied to each of the complainants. "We can stand our knocks. You get yours and we get ours, so we're about even. Everybody's doin it." Complaint was made about property owners having shingle roofs on houses located within the fire limits. Referred to the fire chief. Complaint about contractors occupying too much space on the sidewalks, when erecting buildings was made by Councilman Kaufman. Referred to city attorney. A Few Complaints. Councilman Von Pein reported the bad condition of South Seventh street and South L street. Referred to street commissioner. ' Councilman Waidele reported that the Light, Heat and Power company has not repaired Third street and Richmond avenue; that the hedges on West A street have not been trimmed; that the Second street alley crossing has not been repaired; that Kinsey Btreet, from Third to Fifth is in bad condition and that the gutters on West Fifth street, from the Peacock road to West A are too low, allowing water to stand in the street. Referred to street commissioner. Complaint was registered by Councilman Waidele that the alleys in the Seventh ward and over the entire city in general, are uncleanly and unsanitary, because residents throw trash, garbage and grass in one box instead of having separate boxes and cans. ,The printing committee was instructed to have placards printed requesting the residents to exercise care in this matter.

The mother cannot do better for her children than to train them, from infancy, to regularity of the bowels. Chronic constipation in later life can be avoided if the child learns early the need for a daily evacuation of the poisonous stomach waste. There will, of course, be times when the little one will become constipated and bilious. In hot weather, especially, immediate attention is necessary, as much serious illness results from inactive bowels. Salts, cathartics, purgatives, and similar drastic irritants are harsh and violent and only bring temporary relief while disturbing the whole system. A" gentle, pleasant bowel stimulant like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable. Syrup Pepsin contains no narcotic drug, being composed of simple laxative herbs combined with pepsin, and acts gently In a natural manner, on stomach, bowels and liver. By thoroughly cleansing the bowels and removing the foreign matter that irritates and Inflames the tissue, it will quickly check the summer diarrhoea that is so .'weakening in its effect.

"We're on our way to Columbus, O., to attend the 1912 convention and meet of the Federation of American Motorcyclists and if we have one-half as good a time at Columbus as we are having on the road it will be a recordbreaking meet;," said E. G. Baker, of Indianapolis, the tour master, when a fleet of motorcyclists chugged into the city today. "Columbus will entertain the F. A. M. for five days, beginning Wednesday,.

But, let me say this: The four national tours to Columbus are giving the riders a world of pleasure, and Columbus will have to hurry to show

FORMER STATE GEOLOGIST W, BLATCHLEY OFFERS EXPLANATION OF TREE LOOSE

INDIANAPOLIS, July 16. Leaves of Norway maple trees in the northern part of the city, especially those between Eleventh street and Fall Creek, are at the present time shedding many of their leaves, and many property owners whose trees apparently are being ruined, have been at a loss to understand the cause of the strange condition. Yards in some places are literally covered with the fallen leaves of the maple trees. W. S. Blatchley, former state geologist, says he has been called by telephone dozens of times a day lately and that many persons have asked him on the street for an explanation of the trouble. He prepared a statement giving the explanation as follows: "This is due to a plant louse or aphid, which occurs in large numbers on the under side of the leaves. These plant lice are very small and mostly wingless, the young being a translucent pale green, the older ones striped with dusky. They exude great quantities of a clear, sweetish, viscid liquid, known as "honey-dew," which falls down and covers the upper surface of the lower leaves of the trees with a shining coat, causing them to appear as if varnished. This . honey-dew is only the sap of the maple leaves, pumped out by aphids and rendered so sticky in passage through their bodies that the fallen leaves become attached to shoes and clothing. A few days ago a squirrel was seen running wildly to and fro and shaking its tail vigorously, trying to free it from one of the maple leaves which had stuck fast to its tip. Production Rapid. "These plant lice passed the winter in the egg stage,, and the plentiful rains and cool nights of the last month have been especially favorable to their production and growth. Not all of them are hatched from eggs, as the wingless females of these summer broods have the power of producing young by a process of "budding," or giving birth to living young without the intervention of the males. Thus myriads are formed in a few days or weeks when the climatic and food conditions are favorable. In the latter broods both sexes are found, which in time mate, the female laying the eggs which survive the winter. "More than one hundred kinds of plant lice occur n Indiana, and each one has its particular species of plant to prey upon. The one on the Norway maple is probably Chaitophorus aceris Linn., which, as the second part of its name indicates, is a common species on maples, though the hard maple of the city do not at present seem to be affected by them in any number. Food For Bees, Etc. The honeydew when fresh is fed upon by bees, wasps and ants. Each species of Aphid produces it in varying quantities and some are attended regularly by ants which at intervals tap the aphids with their antennae and cause them to give forth the liquid. Such aphids are often called "ants' cows." Certain kinds of aphids are known to be kept in the nests of the ants during the winter and in the spring are taken by the ants to their special food plant, so that they can the more quickly and readily produce the honeydew in quantity. "It is very probable that the plant louse now so abundant on the Norway maple will disappear as soon as we have several days of hot dry weather. In the meantime it can he readily destroyed by spraying the trees with kerosene emulsion or strong solution of whale oil soap. How to Make Emulsion. The emulsion is made by dissolving one-half pound hard soap in one gallon of rain water. While still boiling

the boys more fun than they are having on the way. "We are just loafing along, enjoying the scenery and the fresh air. We start each morning when we get ready and we stop at any point along the route that proves of interest. That's better than riding on a train, isn't it? "The 'motorcyclist knows what freedom means. He can go anywhere at anytime. His machine is always ready. It costs but a trifle to operate it. It is simple and above all it is comfortable. It doesn't take a skilled engineer to run it. Anyone who can ride a bicycle can ride a motorcycle. "The increased interest in motorcycling is shown by the wonderful increase in membership of the Fereda-

hot, remove from the fire and add two gallons of kerosene (coal oil). Stir the mixture violently by driving it through a force pump back into the vessel, until it becomes a creamy mass that will not separate. This requires usually from five to ten minutes. The emulsion is then ready to bediluted with water and applied. For soft bodied insects (plant lice, etc.) use one part emulsion to fifteen or twenty parts of water. "For the whale oil soap solution use one pound of soap to three gallons of water. Be sure that the soap is thoroughly dissolved and then apply in the form of a spray." Stories of Wellington and Blucher. I once met Wellington at dinner. He was then much aged, talked gravely and with great distinctness, ate but little, drank no wine and left early. He was a member of the Union club when I joined it, and I have heard a story that he became a member of Crockford's, the famons gambling resort, that he might blackball his sons if they became candidates. I remember the touching anecdote of how he and that old Prussian warrior Blucher met upon the field of Waterloo and mingled their tears over the bodies of the slain. The well known and much more probable story Ls told of Blucher that, having been entertained at a city dinner and thoroughly enjoying its gorgeous hospitality, he delighted his hosts by hi admiration of London, concluding, Lcwever. with the startling exclamation, "What a splendid city it would be to sack!" From Sergeant Ballanline's Experiences. "I Don't Think." Many correspondents have traced "I don't think" through many writers and speakers. But this writer, who has the habit of reading the Bible in bed the last thing at night, suddenly came upon the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke and the parable of the servant who merely did his duty: "Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not." Now, the Greek words are simply these in modern characters, "Ou doko," which mean just "I don't think." Anyhow we cannot get better authority for the use of the expression which Christ employed iu one of those lightning sketches he threw out as he walked and talked. London Chronicle. Tolstoy's Thoughts on Death. The fear of death is unnatural. The fear of death is the consciousness of sin. The fear of death emanates from the fact that people regard as life only a small part of it. limited by their own erroneous conception. Just as the owner of the fig tree knows the time when the fruit is ripe, so God knows when to call the righteous from this world. Strive to keep your life at a point where you neither fear death nor desire it. Tolstoy's "Cycle of Readings. The Helpful Waiter. Contemptuous Waiter (who can .land it no longer) Sense me. sir; you don't seem hable to get all that soup hup with your spoon. Shall I get you a piece of blotting paper? London Tit-Bits.

tion of American Motorcyclists. It now has more than 16,000 members. It is gaining approximately 750 members each month. The Federation encourages motorcyclists to use and not to abuse the motorcycle. Its influence is bringing the public to realize that a motorcycle already conceded to be convenient, comfortable and inexpensive is also clean, silent and almost a modern necessity in business or pleasure. And we believe the four tours to the F. A. M. meet at Columbus will do much to demonstrate these facts ot the public." The above cut shows, some of the F. A.

Did Mr. John C. Eberhardt, When He Evolved "Optometry," Which Is Now Included in All Leading Dictionaries. Tree Spraying.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Something new every day." So said a reporter in reply to a question asking what he found so fas-i cinating on a newspaper. It is this that holds the newspaper man, or woman, in its grip. No matter how dull the "assignment" it will develop some phase that will interest. The world is a stream which flows through a newspaper office in a slow or quick current. Sometimes almost stagnatingly. Again furiously. But it flows. And action, is, after all, the natural habit of man. We must move. In some direction. But we must move. And we thus fit into the flux of the universe. For all life, as has been said here before perhaps, is fluid. Like the tide of which it is a part it ebbs and flows. And we only live as it sways and eddies. When sensation ceases, life is gone. Sensation is life. Life is sensation They act and react. It is because of the variety of sensation, therefore, that once drawn in to the newspaper whirlpool, no egress is possible. Possible, perhaps. Rather undesired While seething round in the froth and foam you get many points .of view. And every time its the point of view of the other fellow. No-one can be long connected with a newspaper without acquiring a catho lic outlook. Without becoming able to see all around an object and sometimes through it instead of merely a surface. And you get, as nowhere else, the relativity of all human activity. Yesterday, in instance, the writer attended a meeting of the Indiana Optical Society which met here for one all-day session. Very few people, it is probable, give this branch of scientifc business, if it may be so termed, much attention. They will have their eyes tested and glasses fited, giving little thought to the professional training necessary for the successful treatment of the eyes. And yet this profession has its own literature, its authorities, its peculiar nomenclature, its societies, both local. national and international and its scientific investigators. In a clever and entertainfng postprandial talk Mr. Jordan of the Commercial Club stated that the optom etrist was one of the greatest benefac tors of society. That it was his study and his intent to give a perfect physical vision to the world. And that it was a noble pro fessional ambition. Sight Is the most superlative and the most important of all the senses. And that which gives the greatest pleasure. For its repertoire, so to speak, is far more varied than that of the other five sensational conductors. But the physical vision of the world is distorted. Very few persons have perfect eyes And it is a question whether any two see an object or a scene, or a col lection of either, alike. Persons suffering with myopia, or what is commonly termed "near-sight edness," do not see with the normal. ordinary vision. They get effects. Not details. They are, if it could so be put, im pressionists. They see a thing in masses. And, since the theory of the impressionists is that the thing itself is not seen at close hand but only takes shape and form through the medium of the transfusion of light, the near-sighted may, after all. get the best view, the real, the actual. If this may be thought to be a somewhat fanciful idea it can be pointed out thaj it has, in substance, been entertained by some distinguished persons, among them Lafcadio Hearn who, himself, wa's myopic of vision. Be that as it may, the optometrists are doing a humane work in the practice of their profession and in seeking to evolve it into some far more perfect system. The unfamiliar word "optometrist" is scientifically and linguistically accurate. "Optician" is a mis-nomer. It is applicable more to the pure mechanics of the profession and it is not inclusive. of tlie tatter's science. It is interesting to know that this word was originated, or, rather, "coined," by John C. Eberhardt, of Dayton, one of the profession's most distinguished representatives in the United States, who yesterday addressed the convention. Mr. Eberhardt, in a short after luncheon talk, gave an interesting account of the way it originated In its present application and use, stating that it was not of such recent origin as might be thought by the average

layman, entering Into its etymological significance and stating that it was now included in the Century and the recent edition of Webster and would doubtless be found In all the later editions of all the other dictionaries.

Time was when anybody could set up for an eye-fitter. But nowadays requirements are quite as rigid as for those of other professions. In Indiana as in twenty-six other states, special legislation has been en acted governing and controlling the practice of optometry, there being In this state a Board of Registration, which passes upon and examines all applicants for a license. It Is. in truth, becoming harder and harder every day, for the faker and the bluffer tp operate in the professions. Whatever his talents may or may not be he must have certain educational and legal qualifications. And it is interesting to know, by the way, that every optometrist must have a high school education before he can qualify in Indiana. There is no professional class that is doing more for the physical regeneration of society than these since the condition of the eyes is apt to affect the entire physical system. "How can we get our trees sprayed?" is a frequent inquiry. So far as this column knows only by calling on Mr. Pat McKinley who has the material and apparatus. The tree-lice, as pointed out by Professor Thompson, are still with us. And work all sorts of harm. They are small and black and. in one case reported, ruined the weekly wash of a certain household, by dropping from the leaves of over-hanging trees. Falling to the side-walk they constitute a danger in that they make the cement slippery. One woman slipped, sprained her ankle and was housed up for two weeks in consequence. They attack both flower and kitchen gardens, vegetables in the latter having been destroyed and flowerbeds made waste. In fact the tree lice are a constant menace and will be unless trees are sprayed wherever they are discovered. Because these insects are not as big as caterpillars and do not operate in the limelight is no reason why they Purified My Blood; "No Sign of Trouble Since" Monnett's Kan-Do-Its, the Liver and Kidney Remedy.
