A systematic effort to raise funds for the relief of 3,500,000 starving children of Europe
will be made in Wayne county. Preliminary steps in the work of organizing the relief campaign were made Sunday afternoon.
Sporadic collections and appeals for this pur
pose, made by some of the churches and organizations of Richmond, are in excess of $2,000, but this sum is far below the amount that Wayne
county is expected to give for the alleviation of
sufferers. The public has been advised of the situation and should realize that the only chance which
these starving little ones have for health and
future happiness is through the generosity of t he American public. If this aid is delayed, long rows of graves will tell of our neglect or unwillingness to extend a helping hand. Herbert Hoover is directing the campaign smd has enlisted the co-operation of relief organizations. The assurance is given that money donated for this purpose goes directly for the purchase of food and clothing. Units of $10 will provide a warm overcoat, a pair of boots, wool stockings, and one meal a day until the next harvest. The appeal asks for $23,000,000. The sum will not feed all the starving children of the war-torn countries. Only those irhose condition is critical are eligible to relief
from this fund. Many a child will go hungry for months and be forced to satisfy itself with a meager ration. Only those who are in dire distress and whose condition would soon become hopeless are served in the relief stations. It will readily be seen that the $23,000,000 is a small amount of the sum that would be required if all the hungry boys and girls of Europe were abundantly supplied with food. But the $23,000,000, it is estimated by those who made a survey of conditions, will take care of the most abect and hopeless cases. Wayne county has never yet failed to respond when a call has been made for a worthy cause. Here is one that should appeal to every heart, and impel us to raise a quota that will be in keeping with our established practice of doing good whenever an opportunity presents itself.
Answers to Questions
The National Guard Company With the opening of the old armory of Company K of the Indiana State Militia tonight, a call is sounded for the enlistment of men in a proposed company of the National Guard. Richmond still has an opportunity to obtain a company in the state organization. Much missionary work has been done by the men who are interested in the formation of a company, and they believe that enough persons will come forward to enable them to organize a unit. The advantages of a National Guard are not to be underestimated and the presence of a contingent of Richmond men in this branch of the military service will be a form of commendable advertisement for the city. Company K of the State Militia performed the service for which it was intended during the World war, and it is to be hoped that many of its members, as well as former service men, will find in the National Guard company an opportunity for the continuation of their interest in military affairs.
Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton
Methylpropylcarbinol is a new sort of nerve medicine, and we believe you have to take a dose of it before you have nerve enough to try to pronounce it. May we express the hope that the crime wave is not one of those permanent waves we see advertised so much. Personal Prejudices. I am not madly enthusiastic over a man who uses perfume. I believe a woman should say "thank you" when a man gets up and gives her a seat. A great many women do not share my opinion. I don't believe Dempsey is down and out nor that he will be for some time. I have great respect for a man who can keep a fountain pen in order and carry it every day. I always like for a man to give me advice because I can think of something else while he is giving it to me. I believe every man is entitled to a salary in keeping with the service he performs, and if he doesn't get it he is a chump. I don't see how the Japs have the courage to talk about war with us while they know Newt Baker is still s-ecretary of that department. I never pass things to a man who 1 keeps his hat on in a restaurant I have no doubt Mr. Harding will make good plus, but he will do it in spite of a lot of punk advice. The Buffalo Blade tells this one: A Buffalo girl took the Missouri Pacific for Yates Center the other day. The conductor called "Tickets," vnd the girl gave him her ticket, and then the news butcher came along, called "Chewing gum," she gave him her wad. Girl of 15 weds twice in six months, but she will know better when she grows older. Well, you are lucky in one way. You have not been mentioned in Margot Asquith's diary. We consider Baron Rosen the six day bicycle racer of literature. He is now in the thirty-ninth lap of his "Forty Years of a Diplomat's Life."
VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE
L, H". B. Relative to your questions about the Greek Catholic church, we suggest that you write to the Rev. Nicholas Velonis, 213 North West street, Indianapolis. Ind., who is a priest of theschurch. He will be able to give you authoritative replies. Reader Please tell me how many persons immigrated to the United States between 1821 and 1330. Tho government report gives 143,349 persons. M. P. Where was the first permanent Christian settlement in the western hemisphere? In Santo Domingo. Woman Reader How many children were left orphaned by the World War in Europe? The best available statistics place the figure at 11,000,000. Probably this number is less than the actual number of children who lost their fathers and mothers directly or indircetly as a result of the war. Investor How many persons hold shares of common stock in the United States Steel corporation? When the books were closed to send out the December dividend checks the number was 95,776, the largest in the history of the company. The previous high record was in September, 1920, when the number was 90,952. Rradera may obtain unrrr qaeatlona by writing the Palladium Questions and Aniwen department.

By ED HOWE The late czar of Russia was lazy, and trusted everything to experts in efficiency. And you know what they did to the czar. Peter the Great was a worse tyrant, but he worked hard and watched all the corners, and died a hero and tyrant.
Not only the wicked suffer; the weak suffer, as do the inefficient, the careless, and the impolite. The notably wicked go to jail; the notably careless go to the poor house.
There is no man so poor or foolish that better conduct and more industry will not help him. The best conduct and most persistent industry will not make any life entirely agreeable or successful, but these simple virtues never fail to help: they are always better than idleness and viciousness. A loafer never works except when there is a fire; then he will carry out more furniture than anybody.
In the business of baseball, scouts travel over the country looking for young players who are promising. In your business as well as in baseball, if you can do anything particularly well, a scout will call on you, and offer you a better job. Seven-tenths of the big men of today, in every calling, have been picked up by the scouts in small villages or on farms. Don't say you haven't a chance, because you have: a scout is watching you every day, and you are promoted as you deserve. A good clerk in a country town is fought for by the merchants; a good farm hand is fought for by farmers, and he Is soon picked up by a scout who has a farm to sell at a low price, on long time. And the more modest and capable you are, the more apt a scout is to find you. But you can't fool a scout; he knows good work.
An absent-minded traveler was asked to stay r. few days at a country house. His wife, realizing that he was to be the lion of the party, told him to be sure to put on a clear shirt every evening. She packed him one for each night When he returned she said: "Well, I hope you remembered to put on a clean shirt every night." "Oh, yes," he replied. "At this moment, counting the one I went away in, I've got four on." Aunt Mary had been introduced to all the friends of the family while visiting her brother. Now, woman like, she was trying to discover if her niece "favored" any young man specially. "That young Mr. Smarte, who comes here, feems a clever sort of a man, Maude," she began. "Yes," replied Maude, "he is clever." "What is he by profession?" "A bit of a lawyer and a bit of a musician." "But what is he, really?" asked aunty, puzzled. "Well," explained the girl, "the
lawyers say he is a musician, and the
musicians say he is a lawyer."
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". FAME I was looking at some lovely colored prints in a gallery the other day. My attention was called to an unusually beautiful one. It only bore a date 1816. The artist was unknown. And I was informed that not even the experts of the British Museum were able to discover who the artist was I studied that print. A peasant girl stood In a street with a broom. The buildings about her, tinted In wonderful tone, the light bathing the entire picture, the sense of peace in it all, in fact everything about the picture suggested genius of the highest artistic order And the price was $1,500. Yet nobody knows who did it! I hava an idea that the artist died hungry as Meryon, Rembrandt and others have. What a small thing Fame is! But how important it is that every man and woman does his best. For names after all serve only to Identify. Whereas the work of the great can hardly die. It is quite enough that excellence is immortal that we gain pleasure and happiness from the hardships of others, even as those who come after us are in turn inspired by the best that we are able to do It is far better to be helpful and be appreciated than to be famous. For one reason at least I hope that there really is a Heaven. And there is one reason, too, why I would like to go there. This is so that I can walk up to a lot of the wonderful characters whom I havo never seen, but whom I have learned to love and appreciate, and thank them for what they did. But since we know so little, let us live as though Heaven was right here and do all that we can to make happy the efforts of those who help and inspire us. Let us get the "tell" habit tell people when they do us good and make us happy. You don't have to have a college education to get this habit.

GERMAN CITY OWNED GARS SHOW BIG 10SS nnnnanaannninnj, (By Associated Press) BERLIN, Jan. 3. Street railways in Berlin have been operated at a loss of 49,000,000 marks during the first nine months of municipal ownership, and in spite of increased fare it Is estimated this loss will reach 60,000,000 marks before the end of the first year Fares already have been increased from 30 to 80 pfennigs and it is proposed to further increase them to on? mark. Increased wages and higher costs for power are given as the chief reasons for the large deficit. Although employes have been given several wage Increases, demands for more pay have been always pending, with the threat of strike if they are not granted. In view of the financial situation and ever-increasing wage demands It has been suggested that a committee be created to keep workmen informed about the operation and cost of the street railway system, in the hope that well-informed employes will be more moderate. Some of the supporters of municipal plan is being discredited by workmen who make unusual de-
manas ana threats.
They also demand a
cLeck on the management of the street
railways, particularly with regard to expenditures.
A Helpful Hair Hint A lady visiting friends says "Parisian Sage is the best thing I have ever used to make my hair wavy, lustrous and abundant. It keeps away all dandruff and stops itching." Quigley's drug stores sell it with guarantee of money back if not satisfactory.
that is the worst; among the gold bricks it is first. Its working parts will break like glass; it is a swine for oil and gas." And so this omnipresent ay has knocked the pleasure from your day, pulled a cloud across your sun, and spoiled your little slice of fun. In every street of every town there is a Pumpernickel-Brown, who can't be satisfied or glad unless he makes another sad. His cheap remarks should not destroy the cheerful neighbor's honest joy, but joy's a thing that soon looks sick when some one hits it with a brick. And so this Pumpernickel-Brown distributes sorrow up and down.
Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Year -Ago Today
. An unusually small number of appeals for help were received from the poor of Richmond by Wayne township trustee, James Haworth. The general prosperity of the community was cited as the cause. Trustees of other
townships in the county reported but
little suffering. With the temperature in Richmond registering 13 above zero at noon, and with between four and five inches of
snow on the ground, prospects were that the mercury would drop to below
zero within the next 12 hours.

v THE KNOCKER. You buy a car you think is great, a buss that's strictly up-to-date. Your breast is filled with wholesome pride when you go forth to take a ride, for you have saved a long, long while to buy a boat that's quite in style. You feel, while gliding down the street, that life is sumptuous and sweet; you are bubbling o'er with genial mirth, good will to men and peace on earth. And when you park your car down town, up comes J. PumpernickerBrown. "Great Scott!" he cries; "Jehosophat! I wouldn't own a van like that! Oh, why in blitzen did you blow for such a .cheese the hardearned dough? Of all the lemons.

IF petroleum were wiped out today, factories would close their doors, agricultural machinery could no longer be made or operated, food could be raised only by primitive methods, and the transportation of food would be confined to horse power and water, for railroads could no longer run their trains, and before any adjustment could be made our great urban population would literally be starved to death. The prosperity of all industrial nations is based upon petroleum. The peak from which floats the flag that symbolizes the prosperity of the Utitecl States arises from a basic foundation of crude oil. The underlying foundation of this prosperity is lubricating oil, for without this essential product of petroleum, the machinery of the world would stop and the world's reserve of lubricating oils, though vast in volume, would last but a few weeks at our present rate of consumption. The next essential factor is kerosene and gasoline, for without the first, one half of the population of the world would be without light at night, and without the second, all types of internal combustion engines would be useless, and the automobile, tractor, truck, marine and aviation engine would be mere curiosities. If lubricating oil, kerosene, and gasoline were available, but the hundreds of byproducts made from the residue of petroleum were wiped out, many industries would be closed and unemployment general, for in nearly every industry one or more of these by-products are necessary in the manufacturing processes. Thus is visualized by an extreme presentationpurely imaginative of what might happen if petroleum, or any of its major derivatives, were wiped out over night. Also it shows the importance of the work the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing in helping supply one of the basic, economic needs of the nation, and emphasizes the importance of the service the Company renders in promoting the comfort, health, and happiness of the individual citizen.
