THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

All: rights of republication of special dispatches i herein arer also reserved. 1 ;2: Helping the Blind r Articles niade by the inmates of institutions for the blind will be sold here today and tomorrow. The public is asked to see the Articles and to purchase them. Persons who have suffered the loss of their eyesight are at a marked disadvantage in their effort to maintain their financial independence. Appreciating this fact, the state maintains institutions where the blind are taught work by which they are able to earn money. The sale of the productive output of these persons will benefit them, as the money is not used by the state, but is returned to the makers of the articles that are sold. Encouragement will be given to these men and women if the public buys generously of the articles that have been sent to this city.
Americanization Day The celebration of Americanization day on Sunday, May 1, will confirm and solidify the loytalty of the citizens of Wayne county to their trepublic. We owe a duty to our government in -times of peace as well as in times of war, and a celebration that keeps fresh in our. hearts our Jlove for the flag is proper and in order. .. The ending of the war has not removed the necessity of a vigilant care to check an insidious propaganda directed against the republic. Mass sneetings of citizens, in which the glorious principles "of free government are enunciated, constitute a method whereby the effects of the 'poison can be neutralized. j New impetus toward the indoctrination of pur citizens with the principles of Americanization followed a meeting in New York City in Vrhich our : government and the allied nations Were criticized ' by. speakers whose loyalty had been questioned during the war. Patriotic societies and the American Legion at once took issue with the sentiment, and scores of Americanization meetings, held in vari
ous parts of the country, testified loudly to the!

abiding iaitn or tne people in tneir repuDuc Indiana will testify to its loyalty on May 1, when meetings will be conducted in many cities. The whole state will be organized for a militant expression of its patriotism, and thousands will return to their homes inspired with a new love for their country and a new pride in its institutions.
Automobile Accidents on Sunday A cursory survey of automobile accidents involving the loss of life and limb shows that an overwhelming majority of them happen on Sunday. More automobiles are used for pleasure purposes on this day than during the week, increasing the number of chances that are taken in crossing railroad and interurban tracks. Drivers have not been impressed with the necessity of exercising caution and care by. the large number of crossing fatalities that are grewsome records of negligence. They approach crossings at a fast speed, taking for granted that the coast is clear, or believing that they can beat an approaching train across the right of way. Railroad companies are combatting this negligence in many ways. They have issued many appeals to motorists, cautioning them to remember that a crossing always is a potential place of danger. Flagmen of some roads take the numbers of cars rushing over the tracks without checking their speed to see if the crossing is clear. These cards are then mailed to the offender. A Richmond man has suggested to the safety committee of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad that a cartoon, showing the danger of speeding recklessly over a crossing be prepared and sent to the newspapers for publication on Saturday, with a text urging motorists to practice "Safety First." The suggestion is a good one. Automobile drivers who see the picture on Saturday may have it flash through their minds on Sunday when they are approaching a crossing. It may induce them to cut off the gasoline, look to the right and left, and exercise caution. The list of Sunday automobile accidents on railroad crossings will not be reduced until automobilists learn that crossings are danger points. It seems strange that a vigorous campaign of education must be waged to drive the lesson home, for prevention of these accidents can be accomplished very easily. All that is necessary is that the driver reduce the speed of his car to the point where he can stop it instantly to avoid being run down.
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
!
r THE NEW ERA it . . J Two ladles by the western sea shot ;up two geezers so they died; and when I heard I said, "Aw, chee. they'll be acquitted when they're tried, for they are smooth as dames can be. so fair of face and starry-eyed." For I grew up in ancient days when rain thought women free from guile; and If they murdered" vagTant jays, 'twas just their harmless, giddy style; as jurymen we met their gaze and wilted in their genial smile. No man could hope to make a hit who'd put a lady n distress; we always voted to acquit, e'en though her crime she might confess; we were such knights, you must admit, as used to ride in sheetIron dress. Alas, the world has ehanged since then, our attitude no more survives; the women go and vote like men, men are but equal with their wives; and these two females In the pen must spend the balance of their lives. And they are not old shriveled crones, all out of date and down at heel, not hanks of hair and rags and bones, but of an age to dance a reel; and yet in fierce and strident ones the jurors sprung their "Guilty" spiel. The jurors all were weary guys to whom the suffrage stuff was new; they thought, "We've seen our wives arise, demanding everything in view: they're bound to have their share of Oies. and they must take the soupbones, too."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" THINGS THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY I was talking with Dr. Frank Crane one evening about things and folks. In the course of the discussion he said that mere money-making was "the cheapest task a man could put his energies to." Because, said he, "everybody seems to be able to make money to some degree or other. Everyone seems to be at It!" Here are just a few things that money can't buy respect, love, decency, happiness, friends, appreciation, sympathy, health, beauty, nature, ideas, incentive, imagination, desire, smiles, honesty, success, expression, personality, likeableness, kindness, service. Money is merely a material thing of exchange. After we have been able to et "more money than the other fellow," of what benefit is the gain? Still he may hold much that we have missed, and could never buy. I must confess that I liked Andrew Carnegie's idea of dying poor. But he had spent so long a time accumulating his great fortune that he didn't get the time to spend it all or to give it all away. He should have begun earlier with his plan. 1 would much rather be known as the man who built the great Woolworth building than the one who owned it. I have never heard much about the wealth of F. Hopkinson Smith, but there are some great lighthouses out in the Atlantic that he put there to stay for a long time, and he was a fine artist and a splendid writer of books. We must get the purpose of money into our understanding and then we must use it only as a means for the enlarging of our chance to render service. I live in a nest of books. But I know of no writer of any of them who ever boasted of his ownership of money. I want to leave just enough money to usefully help after I have gone away. I would like to have the newspapers say that my wealth was "neat, but not gaudy," as Shakespere once wrote about one's dress. Robert W. Service puts it better than I could possibly hope to, in the following lines: "I wanted the gold, and I sought it; I scrabbled and niuched like a slave. Was it famine or scurvy I fought it; I hurled my youth into the grave. I wanted the gold and I got it Came out with a fortune last fall Yet somehow life's not what I thought it, And somehow the gold isn't all."

John Robinson, the old-time show man, knew how to conduct a ring show, but his musical education had
been neglected somewhat. One day i
he was listening attentively to his band, watching each player closeiy. There came a place in the selection where the clarionet player had a twenty bar rest, and when he came to it he sat back in his chair and dropped his instrument to his knees. John said to him: "Hey, what are you doing? This is an important piece. Why do you loaf like this? The clarionet player explained that he had a twenty-bar rest and didn't have to play. "Well," said John, "I guess you do have to play when you're in my band. Go ahead and get busy. You can rest when you get through."

The plan of advertising the new medicine Dreco is so open and above board and shows such honesty of purpose on the part of the owners, it is small wonder that Dreco has sprung into such popular favor everywhere it is introduced. You frequently read the testimonials printed by medicine companies from persons living in distant cities but with Dreco we print the testimonials from persons residing elos-e by many right here in the city, giving their street address, so if every word you read about Dreco was not true, we would soon be exposed. Here is one of the recent statements received from a responsible home town man. He is Mr. J. Gregg, who lives in Richmond, Ind., and says: "Dreco has surely done me a lot of good. My liver is active again so that I don't have that tired, drowsy, noaccount feeling nor dizzy spells. The
I pain? in my limbs, arms and back are
all gone. My stomach is acting tine, digesting everything I eat without causing gastritis, pains or uneasiness. I sleep all night long and awake refreshed and full of energy. No medicine ever helped me like Dreco has and fcr that reason I recommend it to others." All good druggists now sil Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Thistlethwaite's Drug Stores.
