THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building. North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER Of THE ASOCIATEU PRESS ' Th Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the us for republication of all news dispatches credited to 1t or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Standardization in Home Building ' Standardization of materials and processes is proposed by the administration to revive and cheapen .building operations. The deficiency appropriation bill transfers $185,000 from a previous appropriation for the census bureau to the bureau of standards for investigation along this line. A senate bill provides for the creation of a permanent division of construction and housing. A Washington dispatch carries the following statement, prepared by the department of commerce : Standardization of structural units and material has already been undertaken in England, but is in it3 infancy in thi3 country. Standardization does not contemplate the greater uniformity in the exterior or in the interior arrangement of buildings, but rather the adoption of uniform methods and the elimination of useless types and sizes of parts, the adoption of interchangeability of parts, as well as the adoption of clear and uniform definitions of terminology. Standardization should be considered as an aim or disposition of the industries to co-ordinate their work rather than as a definition of perfection. It is urged that economy in material may be effected at an early date through the revision of building codes of many" municipalities, and that such a revision toward uniformity may be brought about without impairing the usefulness, safety, or durability of the structures. Flagrant variations now exisiting as to thickness of walls, floor loads, allowable stresses on timber, concrete and steel, if eliminated, might save, according to some authorities, from 5 to 20 per cent in the use of some of the materials, and might save, according to other authorities, from 5 to 20 per cent in the total cost of certain types of construction. The country will gratefully receive any method to reduce the cost of erecting homes. The housing shortage cannot be attributed to a disinclination to build, but to the excessive cost of constructing a home. Millions of dollars are ready for investment in homes so soon as the cost is sufficiently reasonable to lure the money

from the savings banks into this form of investment. If the government succeeds in greatly reducing costs by establishing a standardization of materials and processes, without creating a- uniformity of exterior and interior design, it will effectively solve the housing problem. Many building authorities, however, doubt if the cost of construction can be lowered materially by the adoption of standardized materials, for other factors, including labor, are much more expensive than the materials which enter into the building of a house. Unless a reduction can be effected in these particulars, the cost will not be lowered enough to make much difference in the amount of money required for the investment.

Keep on Learning The average graduate of a high school or a

college is prone to believe the necessity of learning has ceased as soon as the school door closes behind him. The exceptional graduate keeps on studying and learning. It doesn't require " a prophet's vision to tell who will become a leader. The reason why many so-called self-made men distance college graduates is because they are constantly on the quest of information to be used in their callings. They are insatiable in their thirst for knowledge, derived from books, observation and experience. Their very lack of early training intensifies their desire to overcome the handicap by study, and so they reap the tangible reward of their diligence and industry in continuous prosperity and honors. If the young men and women who are leaving the schools and colleges this month would remem-

i ber that the school of life never closes until the

tombstone covers the pupil, they would bring to their new tasks an earnestness of purpose which would make them real strivers in this world, shunning mediocrity and seeking knowledge about their calling and profession. Self-made men and college graduates who have attained prominence, honor and wealth, are students. They never reach the point where they know everything. They are constantly learning, and that is why they are constantly making progress. The self-satisfied man, who deceives himself into believing that there is nothing new to be learned in his trade, business and profession, is hopelessly lost and in a blind alley from which there is no escape. Keep on learning, for knowledge is power.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

HELPFUL EXERCISE, I used to sit in pomp and 6tate and took no exercise, and I achieved such grievous weight I pained the doctor's ryes. 'Twas very little grub I ate, my appetite unsound; but every bite increased my weight three quarters of a pound. And then I heard the doctor fay, "You surely lard the earth; roull have to walk twelve miles a day. and thus cut down your girth." So I put on my nine-league boots, and walked till I was lamie, althoueh I never cared three hoots for walking as a game. But one must heed whatever rules the doctors, may invent whatever sort of 'pathic schools thoso docs may represent. And so I walked along the shore about a hundred miles, and then I walked a hundred more, in all the ragtime styles. The first result of all this toil was appetite renewed; the women had to fry and boil large quantities of food. My appetite was bt range and weird, it. clamored still for more; the loaves and fishes disappeared, and all the larder's Btore. My weight increased by leaps and bounds, by bounds and leaps it grew, and where I used to cain two pounds, I now gained twenty-two. The fat man fails in all be does, in all the schemes he tries, and alecks always round him buzz, and talk of exercise.

WHEN THE ELEMENTAL CALLS The gentlemen who know everything tell us that there is more of strikes, domestic infelicity and general human cussedness and rumbunctiousness in the summer than during any other season of the year. They point out that most holidays celebrating revolutions and such, July 4 for instance, occur during the prickly warm weather period of the calendar. When nature gets hot. irritated and testy, human nature it seems, is only too glad to take the tip and quickly follows suit. Scratch most any one of us in the good old summer time and you are more than apt to catch a savage. For the summer is the time when the aboriginal in us fights desperately for a way out. We want to get outdoors. We want to spend our days looking into the limitless sky. We feel the irresistible urge to live in and drink in the breath of the open. And it upsets our thoughts, slows up our works, and usually gets on our nerves. - With summer comes the deep-rooted primitive hungering for field and for farm, for sea and for mountatin. And we are miserable till we find ourselves In the woods gathering dead branches for the crackling camp fire; or digging WTiggling worms for wary, elusive fish; or breastting life-giving breakers at Mother Nature's Fountain of Eternal Vigor; or recklessly challenging sunstroke in roasting, broiling bleechers; or doing any of the hundred and one things that for a while at least takes us back to the elemental. And it is strange what a few weeks or even a few days intimacy with nature does for a man's disposition, for his mental and physical resources, for his outlook upon life and humanity. A man finds himself healthier, saner and better for having for a short time indulged this bottom-most, instinctive craving of the human race. Most of us have many depths well worth tilling. And that is why the rieht kind of a vacation is a sort of sub-soil ploughing that answers surely

! and truly when the elemental within us calls, and that fertilizes and enriches ! i - 1 : f . l . in n

OUT OlQluai v lllf ui llivr ,iai o luuuur. A periodic reversion to tempered savagery makes most of us fitter to endure "Civilization". Here's wishing you "the best vacation" you ever had.

An Indianapolis resident went up to the sidewalk news stand to buy his regular weekly magazine. "Police stopped us sellin' anything but newspapers. Drug store and hotel news stands made a kick against u?," Uip attendant told him. "You mean no one is selling magazines from the street newsstands?" atked lie would be purchaser. "Nobody- efcrept the stand on the next corner. He s? bootleggin' 'cm."

A certain railway official has preached economy, in and out of season, until it lias rather got on the nerve? of the employes. He likes to talk to the men. putting questions which he thinks. will bring out their special abilities and demonstrate their fitne for promotion, and recently he cornered a locornoti e fireman. "What would you do." the official asked, "if you saw that your train was heading into an unavoidable collision that promised to be an utterly destructive wreck?" "Why." th? fireman responded promptly. "I'd grab a lump of coal in each hand. ell to the engineer to bring the oil can and jump!"

CHINESE WISDOM. There is always danger that the mind, concentrated upon certain things will fall short of others. Stop looking on those ladi?s with the short skirts. He who prides himself upon wealth and honor hastens his own downfall. Let 'em fall: All that the senses perceive is unreal. The modern steak is unreal except the check! Our knowledge is all second hand. We accept credit-worthy inferences of others. That means the newspapers. FRESH MEAT. Sign in Brooklyn: FOR SALE Cheap, on account of discontinuing of fresh meat business, two horses, dead or alive. If the gunmen had to pay an income tax thp national debt would soon be eliminated. FAMOUS LIES WE HAVE HEARD. "Plenty of room up in the front end of the car." Just to show the cheerful trend of the times, one of th New York cemeteries now has a press agent. How's this: "Those who use this cemetery will never use any other." Harvard business school will recommend personally attractive young men to prospective employers. Which makes us pause and wonder how many knock-kneed, bald-headed, red-nosed and generally homely bank president, railroad presidents and corporation heads there are in this country. Maine has repealed the bounty on bears, but Wall street has not yet taken a similar action.

Answers to Questions

L CURIOUS To settle a dispute, please inform me where the first street railway was laid in the United States. The first passenger street, track in the world was laid In New York City. It was the Fourth avenue (Harlem) street railroad, which was chartered in the City of New York in 1S31. It. was built on the Bowery and was opened for travel from Prince street to the present site of Union Square in November. 1S.'!2. The vehicles were drawn by two horses, and were fashioned somewhat after the style of the stage coach of that time. On the day of the opening, the Mayor and the city councilmen and other invited guests made the first trip over the line. A large number of people gathered to see the new cars make their start and even the most skeptical of the number were obliged to confess that the new horse cars were a success and designed to prove a great convenience to the public. The road was extended to Murray Hill In 1S33. and reached the Harlem River in 1S39. Fares were paid in silver sixpences of the old Spanish currency then in circulation.

GOOD FOR WOMEN, TOO Foley Cathartic Tablets have long been a favorite physic with men. "Women suffer as mu'cli as men do from Indigestion and constipation, and they also require a scientific remedy to keep the stomach sweet, the liver active and the bowels regular. Mrs. Geo. Powers, S4 Winthrop Ave.. Revere. Mass., writes: "I have taken Foley Cathartic Tablets and I recommend them to everyone." They banish biliousness, headache, bloating. A. G. Luken and Co., 628-628 Main St. Advertisement.

On Road To Bpneyard "I have Just finished a treatment of your wonderful remedy and can say it has done wonders for me already. For the past five years I have been unable to eat any but the lightest food and that but sparingly, as any food caused me to bloat with gas. I was reduced to a skeleton of ninety pounds, and was on the road to the boneyard. A friend in Birmingham sent me a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which I took, and I am sure it will entirely cure me of my trouble, judging from what it brought from me and the way I feel." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflamation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Op" THE REIGN OF IDEAS One of my life-long idols has been "Wendell Phillips. America has not produced in all its history a man so ruled by ideas. All progress he ascribed to ideas. He believed in smashing Institutions in order to make way for ideas! And those ideas he believed should come from the masses. "I go out with no faith whatever in institutions," he once said. And on he fought presenting ideas to the people. A half a century later finds them doing business. "The great question of the future," he long ago Eaid. "is money against legislation. My friends, you and I will be in our graves long before that battle is ended." Had this great man but lived, he would now observe that truth only just beginning to creep under the skin of the masses. But what sha'.l this great battle be fought with? What weapons? The answer is ideas! j Ideas are what make democracy possible. Inertia may be' tempararily throttled but ideas will inevitably sieve through the thickest tyranny. And if this world is to be made a very good place in which to live, ideas must rule. The things that we seem the most alarmed about are usually those affairs which are invested with the largest number of impregnated ideas. And yet within them lies the greatest source of latent power. The pulse of the world is felt in ideas. But with ideas you must risk much. Y'ou must at times become merely a "lonely truth teller." After one of his great and stirring addresses In which he had not minced words. Henry Ward Beecher was met at his hotel by a man and told that if he did not take back what he had said the man would shoot him. "Shoot away I" replied Beecher. "You must look down the mouth of a revolver." once wrote George Edward Woodberry, "to learn how often it misses the mark." Travel with ideas and you may be lonely but you will never be insignificant!

A rapid extension of the system followed ad towns in different parts of the country increased in size. Street railways were established in Philadelphia and Boston in 1S57.
