NATIONAL PLAYGROUND FROM INDIANA DIMES URGE TO LEGISLATURE

(Hy Afoclated Prea) INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 3. Preservation of the sand dunes, lining the Indiana shoreline of Lake Michigan, by the creation of a great national playground at the expenditure of $2,000,000 is planned by the Indiana department of conservation. The Indiana legislature, meeting in January, "will be asked to appropriate $1,000,000 and an appeal also will be made for the public subscription of a similar sum. Iess than a score of years ago. the dunes semed doomed as perpetual waste, peopled sparsely by farmerfisherman squatters but visited frequently by nature lovers and naturalists. Within that time a great industrial region, centering about the steel city of Gary, has arisen, the onward march of industry having carved away many of the dunes. Meanwhile, scientists and others also have strived to have the federal government set aside the dune-land as a national park, but without apparent success. Now Richard Lieber, director of the state department of conservation, is championing the new move for the state park. Recreational Center. "The dunes are the only real outlet for the people of Chicago, and of Indiana on Lake Michigan," says Mr. Lieber. "They are the one big and last opportunity to furnish a great recreational out-doors for the millions of America's second largest city and of the northern Indiana industrial centers. "The health value of the dunes is enormous. Millions of people are limited to two weeks' vacation with little money to spend. Two weeks spent in the open air of the dunes, away from the city, means a complete rejuvenation. Here the great numbers of foreign born laborers of the industrial region may be taught what the primitive America was. It will give a new sense of proprietorship not only to the recent immigrant but also to the native-born children of the city and by establishing this great common playground of the people we will make a center for the getting together in this international citizenship Buch as nothing else can accomplish."

QXlj entieth- CD .entur y-Pr overb s "by Claire lane

Therefore my Son, shirk not thy duty toward humanity, by being a slacker in Matrimony, for to that destiny and purpose all things are created. TO LOVE OR NOT TO LOVE, THAT IS THE QUESTION

1. Verily, I say unto you, my Son, rejoice In thy heart, for of all the Animate there are on the earth and which Is in Heaven, thou art the most "coveted by Woman; she wilt pursue thee in divers ways and many; and thou wilt at times be sorely tempted to say 'Vanity, Vanity all is Vanity'; for some there be who wouldst angle for thee, with a phony bait, which defies detection and they wouldst make thee to believe, that all they desire is thy heart, while all they seeketh is maintenance; and Man like unto a collie Pup, getteth not his eyes open until nine days after; so heed wise counsel, my Son, and beware; but know ye also that a righteous woman will seek thee for her Divine rights, wbSch is Love and Marriage, for this is the highest aim of every normal Man and Woman. 2: Therefore, my Son, shirk not thy duty toward humanity, by being a slacker in Matrimony, for to that destiny and purpose all things are created and the man who looketh for a cheaper substitute belongeth to the primitive savage, who would eat his meat raw and abandon his young. 3. Verily, I beseech thee my Son, become thou not a He-flirt, for he is like unto a bumblebee that flitteth from flower to flower gathering unto himself the sweets thereof, until his taste i3 distorted, his judgment biases and his manhood gone; he is more to be despised than the Kaiser's olive branch and is a "wart on the face of Destiny. 4. Beware ye, and take heed my Son, to consider well the Price of food and raiment, before thou emulate Solomon in the number of

thy affinities; for in the progress of civilization, Man hath attained both a physical and a financial limitation, of which Solomon kneweth not, and today the wherewith to satisfy the demands of One Affinity, in the name of Love hath often proved a Man's finish. 5. And heed this warning, my Son, after thou hath Loved and Married (he 'one Woman in the World', there shall come times when thou wilt remember with longings, thy single miseries and thou shalt desire to go forth and smear with Carmine and touch the high places; for be it known that fifty million years of civilization hath not yet entirely eradicated from Man all his aboreal habits, which are stronger than Social laws, Ethics or Religion; but take heed, my Son, when thou do goeth forth to spend thy evening 'at the Club', go thou not home with Rouge on thy coat, nor a Hair-pin in thy pocket, for caution saveth suspicion, which, from a Woman's mind is harder to eradicate than wrinkles, and peace offerings are an added expense to the high cost of living. fi. But again Verily, I say unto you my Son, whatsoever course in life a man .pursueth, whether it be a Bachelor or a Benedict, he escapeth not the ever charming presence-of Woman; for lo, she is with him always; now she invadeth even his sanctum at the Poles, everywhere he be, there she be also; and it hath come to pass that without Woman, Man hath neither reason nor excuse for existence; he would have neither joy nor sorrow, motor power nor anchorage; he would attain a loneliness like unto a Dog from which the Fleas had all been exterminated.

HONOR FOR FIRST

SOCIETY MAY

S LITERARY

GO TO MADISON, IND.

CBy Associated Press.) MADISON, Ind, Dec, 4. The distinction of-having the first women's literary society in the United States, which for sometime has been conceded to New Harmony, Ind., may bo transferred to this city as a result of the discovery in the files of the Madison Banner of 1846-47 of articles concerning a woman's club here. Mrs. Frederic Krull of Indianapolis, whose grandparents were residents of Madison, reecntly found among her inheritances an essay written by her grandmother. Miss Georgianna C. Moore, by maiden name, which was read before the Indies Literary club of Madison, in 1847. Mrs. Krull came to this city and upon searching through the files of the Banner found several articles giving accounts of the meetings of this club.

Navy Recruiting Here Makes Excellent Showing Recruiting in the navy is progressing very favorably here, according to reports given Thursday. Richmond was second in numbers for the entire Indiana district, and third in the Central division. Following are two recruits just enlisted: Max Davids, 207 South B street, hospital school; and O'Neil Rhodus, Hagerstown, machinists mate, second class.

McGOORTY FINISHES WORK. (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 3. Eddie McGoorty today finished training work for his boxing match with George Chip at La Salle, 111., Monday night. The two middleweights are to box ten rounds.

So far only the newspaper articles have been discovered to give authenticity to the existence of the club and attempts are being made to locate th constitution and other documents ir order to give defjnlte proof of the claim as the first women's literary society. The organliation, which has been credited with being the first waa tho Minerva society. This club was founded in 1859 at New Harmony by Mrs, Constance Faunterloy Runcie, granddaughter of Robert Owen, the founder of the social experiment colony at New Harmony. This club wa3 followed nine years later by tho famous Sorosis of New York City, the founder of which was Mrs. Jennie C. Croly, known to readers of that time as "Jennie June." Both of these organizations have documents supporting their claims as pioneer literary clubs and giving def-. inite dates of their formation. The society at Madison, according to the newspaper files was in existence as. early as 1847, 12 years before the Minerva society, but so far nothing definite has been found to establish the date of its foundation. Mrs. Krull and residents of Madison are continuing their search for the records of the club.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE. Decidedly above the average is the bill at the Murray which opened Thursday evening. One or two mediocre acts are to be seen but the "Rainbow Cocktail," a gorgeous display of costumes and scenery, makes up for this. The "Rainbow Cocktail" is big time stuff and in any other town but Richmond it would go over bisr. That it did not do this Thursday at its initial appearance is no fault of the act, but of the audience's judgement. Probably next best, on the list, is the series of rag paintings presented by Mile. Lizette. This ad is a real novelty based on a clever idea. Willie Smith, with a series of comic songs and a monologue, pleaded tho audience as did Conway and Fields, the man and woman team who revealed some of tho standard subjects for family quarrels during their few minutes on the si nee. WASHINGTON Victor Herbert's greatest musical

comedy treat and Casino theatre success, "My Golden Girl," will be the attraction at the Washington theatre on Tuesday night. If you will remember this Is the same show that created such a sensation in New York with its wonderful Herbert melodies, its clever storv. and the eorsreous Paris-

j ian hand-painted gowns, each one a

creation in itself. Mr. JOstin brought back many creations from Paris to be used in "My Golden Girl, and each dress, gown or frock is finished in some wonderful hand-painted design. The attraction could be styled a fashion show de luxe, but when you stop to think of the delightful melodies, the clever story, excellent cast, great singing and dancing, magnif cent production, beautiful girls, augmented orchestra, you will agree with the New York Globe, when they classified it as "A Golden Entertainment." WASHINGTON. Young Homer Cavender had tried

every job in Mainesville without seem

ing to fit into any of them. Just now

j he was helper for Old Man Tracey

down at the garage and his boss thought he was "the darndest young feller'' he'd ever seen. Homer, it

j seems, was always dreaming great j schemes for getting rich quick and

neglecting his work to monkey with foolish inventions that never came through. Right at this moment Homer was going around mysterious-like and predicting, "Just, wait 'Mil it. rains!" He'd stand around at the entrance to the garage and look up at the sky for signs of black clouds. And then it rained! It was on t lie night when Old Tracey was all dolled up in his best bib-and-tucker and on his way to the big party out at Silas Proufy's. Homer was driving him in the only limousine in town when

But you'd better see Charlie Ray in "Homer Comes Home" at the Washington Theatre today to discover what happened next. The picture is another of those small town comedies in which Mr. Ray is at his best. Thomas H. Ince produced it for Paramount Artcraft release. MURRETTE The filming of a huge forest fire is not without its dangers as members of the cast of "Nomads of the North", now showing at the Murrette Theatre, will testify. Twice during her attempts to find her way out of the maze of roaring flames which entirely surrounded her during the moment the motion picture cameras were recording the scene, Betty Blythe's skirt caught afire. In both instances Lon Chaney sustained painful burns on his hand in smothering out the flames. "It looks pretty on the screen, but I

must say it was about the hottest job I've had since I made my bow in the movies," Chaney remarked after he had recovered from his experience.

The Mennonites derive their name from" Menno Simons, formerly a Catholic priest, who became a teacher and leader of the Anabaptists about 1537, and published his "True Christian Belief" in 155G.
