THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except . Sunday by t Palladium Printing Co. Palladium" Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to th usa for republication -of all news dispatches credited to H 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. Questionable Economy Why the size of the army should be reduced in the name of ecenomy and $15,000,000 more be added to an appropriation for river and harbor development is a question that an ordinary taxpayer of this country would like to have answered. And in the same connection the man who pays the bills wonders why some recommendations of the budget committe have been ignored by congress. The contrast between the willingness of the

0 house to increase the appropriation for the river and harbors projects and the ease with which it reduced the army last week, shows that the real lesson of economy has not been learned by congress. " In the face of this inconsistency it is gratifying to learn that congress has put an end to a number of useless publications which various bureaus and commissions have been issuing to boost themselves. More than 200 of these non-essential publications have been killed, and the opposition of congress to this form of self -exploitation is expected to put an end to others. Propaganda of this kind has no place in our government. It develops a bureaucratic government and a desire to exercise authority in ex

cess of that which has been placed in a commission by statute. If congress is eliminating propaganda sheets of this kind, it is serving the nation not only for the sake of economy but also because it is ending an abuse of privilege. ,

Eating Less Meat "The average American is eating each year a little more than his ownveight in meat, according to figures given by Thomas E. Wilson of Wilson and Company, packers," says the Galveston Daily News. "The average per capita meat consumption in 1921 was 156 pounds. In 1900 it was 181 Vi pounds. Mr. Wilson considers the dwindling meat appetite of America a serious menace. But it is probable that there is no dwindling of the meat appetite of America. On the other hand, it is highly probable that something quite different is the cause of the reduced consumption of America. The fact is that meat

is consumed in proportion to the demand, or

appetite, subject to the very important limitation of the consumer's financial ability to supply that demand at current prices. "Since 1900 there has been some reduction in the per capita eating of meat due to vegetarian

ism, perhaps, though it is likely that this factor

is negligible. There has been considerable pro

gress in the manufacture and preparation of

meat substitute dishes and of substitutes for

meat by-products, particularly lard. This has

had its influence. But the principal reason why America buys less meat per capita is because America can't afford to do otherwise. "Take your stand at any butcher shop today and wait for the customer who asks for a dime steak. He won't come. -If he did he would get precious little steak. In" 1900 a dime steak would supply a family of four or five, with trimmings enough for the family dog."

ROSWELL MILLEF: When Eoswell Miller, aon-in-law of the late Andrew Carnegie, set about looking for a life profession It was expected that he would choose a path

that would lead him to the leaderchip of some great industrial or financial house. And when he completed his studies in engineering it was of course expected that he would accept one of many flattering offers from companies which had learned of his thorough lrnrnwlpds-a of the

.ROSWELL Ml LIES profession. But, now, Mr. Miller has spurned all these offers and has accepted the position of instructor in the engineering school of New York university at a salary of $2,000 a year. His wife, heiress to the Carnegie millions, Is heartily in accord with his step. It is said that he was offered a position with the Bethlehem Steel company and with J. P. Morgan and company. Miller is the son of the late Roswell Miller, a former president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. It is said that the son cherished a desire from early childhood to study engineering and then teach it. He studied at Princeton university and would have graduated in 1919 had not the war interrupted his studies. Ho left school to serve with the ambulance corps in France. Later he entered the navy and became an ensign. He returned to Princeton after hostilities ceased and received his diploma.

After Dinner" Stories Little four-year-old Margie, whose big rister brought her chum home to tpend the night, thought it would be a great treat to sleep with them; and, having gained permission, she took her place in the center of the bed. She soon found it uncomfortable, and not wishing to appear selfish, asked: "Sister, have you plenty of room?"f

les, dear, was the reply. Then to sister's chum: "Have you plenty of room. Miss Manning?" "Sure, dear!" "Well, then, both of you move over!" Discussion on Ireland In the club was becoming acrimonious, and an Englishman remarked lightly: "But you must really not forget that Irishmen are Irish! The only Irish member of the group rose with an offended air and exclaimed: "Surely you need not have said such a bitter thing as that." - : -

No. 1S1 To Puss .Yourself Through a . Card To pass a person through a playing card sounds like a mere "catch," but it can actually be accomplished after attending to the playing card. Out a lengthwise slit up the center or the card, not quite to either end. Bend the card along the slit and cut crosswise Blits alternately, first from the lengthwise slit and then from the outer edges of the card, taking care that each slit does not quite sever the card. If the cutting has been carefully done, as soon as finished you can open the card out into a long rig nag band, large enough to pass a tumbler and other objects through, and if you have made plenty of slits, and cut them neatly, you will have a band large enough to step through.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matfhew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" THE THRILL OF PERFECTION "The man who has never learned to strive and to reach beyond his grasp, has not known one of the greatest secrets of happy achievement. We in this world shall never understand the full meaning of perfection. But we may all set our hands and brains- and hearts to its attainment. I believe it was Browning who said that our reach should exceed our grasp or else what was Heaven for. How we are. thrilled at the first sensations of realization that we ar on the right track and that our study and desire for mastery is beginningto bear fruit. The artist who sees his figures and landscapes taking real form is encouraged to go deeper into his art and to study more. If none of us could feel progress as it comes, there would be little incentive to go ahead. It's because we get the flashes of perfection as we work for It, that we assure aurselves some day we will excel. The child has to be taught its first lesson in conduct and in the acquiring of knowledge. No one will ever reach perfection but if we didn't have it to aim toward, we would never accomplish anything. A noted writer told me the other day that he intended revising a book which he had written 30 years ago, to perfect it, from his viewpoint, so that it might stand as an expression of the best toward which he had striven as a .writer during his lifetime. I admired his ambition. To set our eyes on the goal, and work to attain it, keeps alive the ' two most powerful factors in success incentive and' interest. You cannot fail in what you undertake if you daily feel the thrill that only striving for perfection can give.

which were Illegal, I do not know," said one of the realtors. "One thing is certain: the huge total that Hiatt rolled up in his trading was caught in the business slump and it could not be kept on the move right now."

THE SPARTAN The Spartan, sorely smitten, kicked up no anry coil, but murmured, "Ic was written that I should have a boil : and now said boil is growing, its throbbings never stilled, to all the people showing, a prophecy fulfilled. I maw not like a kitten nor whinney like a mare; things come as they are written and man must grin and bear." I have a boil that's throbbing with zeal beyond compare, and you may he?.r me sobbing around a city square. I have no Spartan training to cope with such a plight, and, bitterly complaining, I walk the floor all nighL Ai'u neighbors come and chide me, an.l protests wildly make; they hate to live beside me I keep t their cows awake. And peelers como and teh

!mo I'll have to can my wail, or with

their clubs they'll quell mo and run me off to jail. I'm civilized so vastly, in cotton wool so reared, that every ache teems ghastly and makes me rend ray beard. And so I view the Spartan with something like disdain, though nothing can dishearten that martyr in his pain. Oh, he is sorely smitten, with boils upon his brow but. says he, "It was written, so why kick up a row?"

Musings for the Evening

THE CITY Dawn breaks upon the great city, Grayness succeeds blackness, Earthly flames are kindled. Celestial fires are banked, Chimneys belch forth turbid smoke, Industry tirs, then rises. Wheels turn, feet stir, ' . . The Gods of Light, Heat and Power ' arm. A babel of many tongues starts, Millions of two-legged ants move, They pour Into holes and ditches, They climb lofty towers. Old faces die, new ones are born. They succeed the old and are suc

ceeded.

Darkness comes and then another dawn. Thus the grftit city evolves, Taking its millions with it Along a path which-leads to Nowhere? M. K.

One of the Chicago apartments which Mr. Hiatt owned at the last was said to have been received in trade for a -defunct colonization farm scheme near New Era, which in turn had been received in trade for other farm lands of less value. Whether the farms originally traded had belonged to the Trust company, which was holding, the apartment house, could not be learned.
