Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, aa Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER or THE ASSOCIATED PRESS . . rThe Associated Press, la exclusively entitled to the use for -republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not " otherwise credited in this paper, and, also the local news published herein. A!! rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. ' Organized Recreation Success has attended the organization of the recreational and athletic phases of community life,, elsewhere. The same result will attend the
work that is now Demg done here to develop a
community spirit along with recreational features of our life. ' r 7 The average citizen usually takes an individual interest' in. his 6wn recreation, but seldom believes that he may join forces with his neighbor-; to. develop a. general participation in sports and other amusements.
The movement now under way here seeks to
develop a community , interest in recreation in
many-parts of the city,; on the theory that all will benefit by a participation in the form of
amusements that are available.
Although the playerround movement is of
comparatively recent origin, it has attained such proportions in a few years that it is recognized
as an important factor in community building,
Its scope is not confined to children only, for the average adult requires recreation to keep his
mind alert and his physical system in trim. By placing playground facilities in easily ac
cessible parts of the city, men and women are offered an opportunity to obtain both recreation
and to cultivate closer acquaintance with their neighbors. The social effect of participation in games is generally accepted as one of the great contributions to the development and expansion of community spirit. . Keen, interest is being manifested in the plans that have been outlined for Richmond and their practical application is only a question of a few weeks. Vacant lots, advantageously located, will be used as centers where competent instructors will direct the work and competition between teams will keep alive interest. As an indication of the general interest which is manifested in the maintenance of playgrounds all over the country attention is called to the successful effort of the Parks and Playgrounds association of New York city to prevent the board of education from taking over a playground on East 101st street for the erection of a new schoohouse. It was shown that it was the only playground in the neighborhood and that its condemiiatiorf for school purposes would work a genuine hardship on hundreds of boys and girls who used it for recreational purposes. The board has withdrawn its decision to acquire the site. Strenuous opposition has developed in that --v.il y against a proposal of the federal government louse part of the Jacob Riis park at Rockaway Point for a naval air station. Part of this land
was used for this purpose by the government j during the war, but citizens "of New York contend that the government should now seek another site in order that the children might retain a place in that part of New York city for their amusement. Open places for playground purposes have always existed in Richmond, and the presence of creeks, within easy walking distance, have created
ideal conditions here. Nevertheless, the public should guard zealously any effort to deprive the children of their right to places where they may play and enjoy themselves. The proposed plan to develop the playground idea will be a boon which we must not value lightly but promote to its fullest extent. for present enjoyment and for the welfare of the future.
When a Feller Needs a Friend
Excessive Appropriations The five billion dollar mark in appropriations for the next fiscal year has been passed by congress. This sum represents expenditures ' for which the people must supply the money. Five billion dollars for the administration of the federal government is a staggering sum even in a country where we figure in millions. It means that every man, woman and child in the United States must pay on an average of $40 each to keep the federal government operating, to say nothing of the state and local taxes which must be added to the $40. The increase in our taxes has almost reached a critical point. The cry of the public for curtailment of expenditures by the legislative bodies seems to have been unheard invthe clamorous demand for expenditures for various purposes. The five billion dollars in appropriations does not include the retirement of a portion of the heavy war debt upon which the country is paying interest semi-annually in the form of coupons clipped from Liberty bonds. The money is to be used for paying the running expenses of the government.
Some point to the unparalleled wealth of our country, to our developed and undeveloped nat
ural resources, and to the many other points of our national strength and stamina ; but this does not remove the fact that we are steadily increasing our tax burden, thereby making it more difficult for an individual or a company to utilize these advantages fully. A heavy tax burden means increased costs and prices, and that the individual must annually pay to the government money which otherwise would be diverted to the savings bank or used for the expansion of business. The welfare of every individual will be served by a reduction in governmental expenditures and a consequent lowering in the tax rate. An individual who is heavily in debt restricts his expenditures to necessities and denies himself luxuries in order that he may reduce his obligations. The government should accept this policy for the benefit of its taxpayers and not wait until a real crisis develops.

MORALE One of the words that during the course of the late war assumed greater and greater importance, and toward the end took on almost magical significance was MORALE. ... There were times when both sides appeared so evenly matched it was a toss-up which would win any particular battle Morale always determined the victory. There were other times when one side appeared to have such decided advantages over the other, it seemed it simply must win the engagement when it did not, as frequently happened, it was usually because its Morale was "low", while that of its antagonists was "high". Morale has always been will always continue to be a dominating factor at home, in the office, behind the counter, in the sanctum, in the factory wherever men live, work, produce. Perhaps nine-tenths of domestic catastrophes are caused by the breakdown of Morale. Who knows how many times, disheartened and discouraged, you have stood on the line between failure and success, a line so fine, we scarcely know when we pass it, so fine we are often on the line and do not know it Morale would have taken you safely over and beyond. What is Morale? Where does it come from? And how can we acquire and benefit by it? Morale means being fit not alone physically fit; but mentally, spiritually, joyouoly, exuberantly, buoyantly and aggressively fit. It means enthusiasm. It means soundness not merely physical soundness; but mental, spiritual and emotional wett-being as well. Morale means that the body and the mind, the head and the heart, the ambition and the will are properly attuned are all focused upon the great goal. It means all-round balance physical, mental and spiritual good health animal and human spirits and impulses at top-notch and under control every fiber functioning normally and efficiently, and therefore functioning effectively. Morale is born of confidence not the confidence fathered by wish or conceit; but the confidence created and fostered by faith and determination, by enthusiasm and unflagging energy, by the feeling that you have given the world a square deal and therefore rightfully expect it, by the unshakable philosophy that what others have done you too can do can probably do better. Morale is the product of practice the practice of thinking straight, being straight, talking straight and living straight being honest and fair with yourself as well as with the rest of us. Morale is an attitude the constantly nurtured attitude that the world is good to look upon, good to live in, good to work in and that it stands ever ready, indeed eager, to yield a worth-while return for worth-while effort. Morale is what enables men and businesses to climb its absence makes them automatons. Morale makes it possible for a man to accomplish and to stand out its lack condemns him to a rut a small-sized grave. Morale is the oxygen in the atmosphere of success without it a man suffocates into mediocrity or failure. Morale drives men on to do-. Men have suffered disappointment, disillusionment, defeat, even disablement; but morale has kept them up and swept them on to the heights. America and the rest of the world are passing through a crucial period provided we do not lose Morale, we will yet gain everything. You may be penniless, friendless, without any of those things for which men fight hard and long; if you hold fast to Morale, you may still win them all and some more.
Answers to Questions

Mrs. P. P.,. Eaton Please give a description of the human skin? The skin consists of two essential elements the scarf skin or epidermis and the dermis or true skin. The epidermis, the upper skin, consist of five layers. The outermost layer is known as the stratum corneum, composed of several strata of drv.
j horny scales, without nuclei. Beneath
this lies the stratum lucidum, a thin, clear, transparent layer of horny cells with faint nuclei, and next beneath lies the stratum granulosum. The fourth layer is known as the stratum mucosum or stratum Malpighii. In it the cells are polygonal and are connected together by delicate pricklelike processes. The fifth and deepest Liyer of the epidermis is the stratum germinativum. The dermis, or true skin, is "divided into two layers. The superficial or papillary layer lies next to the epidermis. The other is known as the reticular layer. The dermis consists of a closely woven network of connective tissue, from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of an inch thick, within which are embedded blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves, glands and hair follicles. On the outer surface of the dermis are innumerable elevations about one-two-hundredth of an inch in length, called papillae (from the Latin word for pimple). The papillae fit into tiny pits on the under; surface of the epidermis, so that the two layers are firmly molded together. i The papillae are especially well de-

RENTED HOMES
' I hear men saying every day, as I loaf round the Tillage square, "Oh, pay. ing rent has made me gray, and filled my life with carking care. The rented house, in pre-war years, was something people might endure; but later came the profiteers, who raised !the price and made men poor. I live in yonder dingy shack whose shingles flop in every gale; the rent I pay has sprained my back and used up all my hard-earned kale. And now I plan to build a home, however humble it may be. and life therein will be a pome, a picnic fraught with harmless glee. Long years I'e trod the same old rut, which rut I shall no longer tread; I'll build myself a lowly hut. and bid the landlord soak hi head." Methinks
a million weary guys, from whom the rent-hogs drew a groan, will in the near-by future rise, and put up shanties of their own. The1 bitter years have made them long to own their rooftrees and 'their homes, wherein to chirp the evening song, and swat the flies upon their domes. The tenants in disorder stand, for they've been charged and soaked to death, but they will build throughout the land when they've had time to get their breath. And they will spend long peaceful years in their own shacks of tin or wood, and so the crimes of profiteers may in the end bring lasting good.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It". "Up". FRIENDSHIP'S KEY-NOTES The sap, coming young and unconcentrated from the maple tree in springtime, has only a suggestive value. Not until it has been put to the boiling process does it achieve its real delights of flavor. Like the echo, which is an expression of pure tone no matter how harsh the sound in he first place. So In friendship must we look for the refined qualities, far out and removed from the petty faults and shortcomings which busy themselves about us all. . "What means the fact," says Thoreau, "that a soul which has lost all hope for itself can inspire in another listening soul such an infinite confidence in It, even while it is expressing its despair?" .Friendship's key-notes are made up of the echoes and soft undertones of our better natures. There is no room in genuine friendship for caustic sayings and intricate criticism. We are for our friend, or we aren't. Either his fine, sound soul touches ours, or else it has no part 6r parcel in our affairs. Friendship's key-notes have roots and each smallest one reaches to and touches every responsive element in our make-up. We can love our friend, forgive him, overlook his stumblings, and be with him in his hardest fights to help him win. In our capacities are we really found! And not in illusions, but in every word that comes from our hearts and through every deed that follows our best impulses, are we to stand or fall. In those things which bind us forever to the ones we love, are to be found friendship's key-notes.

The rule of the , school was that during the holidays-each boy .must get his report indorsed by his father. In this case the report came back with a brief comment attached. "You should hear his mother." A certain young lady with clicking high heels and generally dressed to the mode appeared at a school for
