TEACH PEDIGREE TO YOUNG FOLKS IS ADVICE GIVEN

'Teach children pedigree" was the advice which Mrs. Felix McWhirter, Indianapolis club woman, gave 200 members of the Federated clubs yesterday afternoon in the high school auditorium. She declared this is the only way to prevent undesirable alliances. Her subject was "Girls." Busy fathers of today are falling behind in the influence they should have- on their daughter's character, character of either boya or girls Is the most difficult task. in a parent's propram, she said. The basis for character must have been made before the child is 12 years old, the age when children pass from the age of formation of ideals from impressions, into a "new-thought" age. Always Show Appreciation. Never fail to show appreciation, she ad vised mothers. Appreciation is certain to spur children to greater efforts, she sajd. She warned mothers to permit daughters to associate with boys only In a general way and to eliminate sex distinctions as long as possible. Many problems would never present themselves if children's lives were directed by schedule, she said. Applause greeted her statement that children under no circumstances should be permitted to arise late. They should be dressed and a regular part of the family at every breakfast table, she said. Children should be trained to return home from school at an appointed hour and should be given only certain evening away from home, according to their age. Knowledge Imparted. Knowledge should be Imported to children as "a secret between mother and daughter" and the daughter should have had honesty and fidelity Instilled in her before she reaches the age of 12. The influences and impressions understood before that time usually ren,wvi Yiar an 1 Hon la Inter, she said.

Mrs. McWhirter called women frivol

ous who refused to accept the unnorm dress idea for school children, even where the children have been enthusiastic about it. The "moving picture nhow" problem should not be serious 'n a city of this size, she said.

De Vinney was convicted in city court of operating a blind tiger but filed an appeal to circuit court and was then released on $400 bond.

Continued from psge One their individual rights. Men realize that there are no moral laws which can make them live with women who will not get their meals and who do not keep their houses clean. Women Realize Rights. "Women are coming to the right which are naturally theirs. They are becoming more independent and they no longer will stand to be mistreated by their husbands. "Laws are becoming more liberal to women. The new status of women in the business world is also teaching them to stand up for their rights and take advantage of the laws which have been made to favor them. "Taking all into consideration, I believe the world is justified in laying aside some of its traditions about marriage. There is no reason why people should not be separated if they cannot live together happily." The judge said, however, that before he grants a divorce, he always trys to make sure that it is entirely impossible for the couple to live together happily, and that the cause of the suit was not a trivial matter which could be settled.

FOULKE TELLS OF DEBAUCHERY IN CIVIL SERVICE

Just at the time Rep. Flnly H. Gray is opening, in Wayne county, his campaign-, for re-election on the Democratic ticket William Dudley Foulke of ,' this city, former U. S. civil service : commissioner, opens his bombardment on the "debauchery of the rural mail service," an offense he has repeatedly charged Gray with being one of the principal perpetrators because of Gray's activity last winter in the movement which drove out of the Wayne county service every Republican carrier. Foulke Reviews Case. Writing in an Indianapolis newspaper Mr. Foulke tells of the decision of the postoffice department last year , to motorize the rural mail service and relates how examinations were conducted for the purpose of selecting carriers for the new motor service after the civil service board had consented to the post office department's request to conduct such examinations. He writes: It seems remarkable that the commission should have acquiesced with-

HOOSIER BELLES

Continued From Page One. Nicholson; 1910, Miss Josephine Wilson; 1916, Mrs. Carl Bernhardt Fred Lemon, chairman of the pageant committee, has arranged with David Hoover, great-grandson of the original David Hoover, to enact the role of Hoover in the centennial pageant The original David Hoover was intimately connected with the early history of Richmond and Is said to have selected its name. Committees have arranged to enclose the industrial and commercial exhibits with a canvas cover, stretching across A street to protect patrons from Inclement weather. To save expense for decorating the following has been addressed to the business interests of Richmond: "The decorating committee of the Richmond Centennial and Exposition has entered into an agreement with the St. Clair Decorating company of Syracuse, whereby they have contracted to decorate Main street with

out any cost to the exposition, pro

vided they secure $400 worth of decorating on private buildings. "It will materially aid the committee if you will faor the St. Clair

company with your decorating pro

as others engaged in the same line.

out a protest remonstrance In this request for a new examination for places which obviously ought to be filled by promotion from rural carriers since the duties were precisely the same except as to the vehicle employed. But if an examination were to be held one would suppose that if all the difference consisted in driving an automobile instead of a horse that the new examination would have reference to this new duty, and that some tests would be made in running an automobile or at least some questions calling out the applicant's knowledge as to how the machine was operated. But no, not a word of this, the examinations were precisely the same as those for ordinary rural free delivery carriers! There were no competitive tests of any kind as to running, the machine, nor were anv questions asked in regard to it except that in the preliminary and declaration sheet (not the examination paper,) the question is asked: "Give below a full statement of the experience you have had in the operation of motor vehicles." But no weight whatever Is given in the rating to the answer to this question. The man who furnishes the best machine and who can show, he is most competent to run it has no advantage over the man who furnishes the poorest and who is least competent to operate it. The actual competitive examination announced by the commission is in spelling, arithmetic, letter writing, penmanship, copying and reading addresses. That is all. What sort of an examination is this to test the capacity for delivering mail of men who have been working six, eight, twelve years in that particular line of duty? How do these things test their ability to do the one additional thing required of them, the operation of an automobile? Does it not clearly appear from this absurdity

that the ffeal object of the examination is to get the old men out and put new men In?

The city administration has no desire to avoid compensating Mrs. Little and Mrs. Stephenson but the city declines to make payments to the two women until the industrial board rules that the city has legal authority to do so.

It is understood that the water works company will be obliged at the next collection period to reimburse every one who was Illegally charged for meter rental. Former Rules Stand Mr. Bond states that the water works company officials informed him that they believed they were entitled to collect meter rental under the provisions of one of the concluding sections of the recent water rate order, which provides, in effect, that all former rules and regulations governing the company's service not specifically altered or modified by the new order remain operative. The company contended that the latest order did not

direct the company to withdraw Its meter rental chorges. As a matter of fact the commission's most recent water order, which increases the rates for the small consumer, through the minimum monthly charge, and taxes the large consumers

for fire protection, is quite vague on the question of meter rentals. Whether the company intends to contest the action of the commission in ordering the removal of the meter rental charge was information not obtainable today.
