C. OF C, LIQUIDATION & IS DETERMINED UPON BY DIRECTORS' BOARD Directors of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce kave decided to discontinue the organization. Efforts to reorganize the chamber . have been in progress for several weeks, but; disagreement as to the method to be used in the reorganization caused the board to decide to liquidate. Three plans have been considered but local business interests have been unable to unite upon any one plan. A suggestion that a number of representative men form a civic club -with dues of $100 or $150 a year met with opposition and the plan -was discarded. Members who favored this plan said the money would have been used to hire a secretary of high class execu- ' tive ability and that the men who would have composed the club would have given freely of their time and effort to boost Richmond. Labor Interests were said to be opposed-to the club plan although it was suggested that the labor organizations buy a seat and appoint a delegate to represent them. In view of this feeling of opposition, the board decided to liquidate-the affairs of the chamber and let the matter be worked out in some other way. No Membership Refund Members who have paid their dues in advance will not receive any refund, as many members have not paid their dues and the money will all be needed to liquidate the affairs of the organization. Members of the board stated that little interest was being shown in the Chamber of Commerce by the members generally and that the brunt of the work and responsibility had to be

borne by a few members. In view of this feeling, it was felt best to dis continue the organization. The board of directors Saturday issued the following statement: "WHEREAS, after an aggressive attempt at reorganization of the pres ent Chamber of Commerce, covering a period of about thirty days, it has been conclusively demonstrated that it Is impossible to bring about an agreement among the various business interests of the city, regarding a plan for the financing of the organization, and through lack of interest on the part of the present membership to render service or financial support, Therefore: - "BE IT RESOLVED: By the duly elected board of directors that in order to eliminate any further possible indebtedness against the Chamber of Commerce, the organization be discontinued after April 30, 1922.

Delegates from Indiana university, Purdue university, DePauw university and Indiana State Normal school were in attendance. After opening remarks of welcome by Charles Robinson, president of the aajnHMrm. the meeting' was ad dressed by Luther Feeger, managing editor of the Richmond Palladium. The subject of Mr. Feeger's talk was "News Values." Mr. Feeger defined news as "a record of action" and spoke in an interesting way of the importance pf character in determining news values. He said, "By far the most important asset that any newspaper can possess is the asset of public confidence." . Mr. Feeger showed how the profession of journalism has changed in the last decade from one of ill-trained men to a profession calling for as highly specialized talent as any in the entire country. He pointed out that from a position comparatively low in ideals and yellow journalism tactics general newspaper policy all over the country has been raised to a higher standard of moral character which more adequately fills the demand for clean direction of public opinion. At the business session of the Indiana Intercollegiate Press club, held at Earlham Saturday morning, the following officers were elected; President, Hazel Pigg, State Normal; vicepresident, P. Talbott of Purdue; secretary, H. Boyle, of State Normal, and treasurer, Charles Brackburn, of Earlham. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the association at State Normal. Reports were made Saturday morning of the work of their press clubs. It was also decided that yearly dues of $5 per college were to be levied. CONCERT BY LITTLE LADIES AT ST.

DANGERS OF BICYCLE RIDING CAUSED CITY DADS GRAVE CONCERN IN DAYS OF 1896

Bicycle riders had their troubles back in the nineties, when the sport of cycling was. in its heyday.' That bicycle riders of that time encountered; many of the same difficulties that later confronted the man who would drive a motorcycle or automobile, is evidenced by a glance at an ordinance passed July 6, 1896, and now on the list to be considered bby the ordinance committee of the council for repealing. ' " It starts off mildly enough, by prohibiting the use of wheels on sidewalks. It reads: "It shall be unlawful for any person to ride any bicycle upon or along any sidewalk of the city, except in crossing same by way of ingreBS or egress to or from private premises." . Speeding was mildly indulged in then. It went by the general name of j "scorching" at times, and it grew toL be such a popular diversion that Cen-tervilte-Richmond records were a matter of debate. The man who could pedal his "safety" from Centerville into Richmond in the shortest time was the herot)f the hour.. ' Takes Serious Action. Finally after due deliberation, the city council decided to regulate the practice. Solemnly it issued the following ukase: "No persons shall ride a bicycle on any street or avenue, or other public highway at a greater speed than 10 miles per hour, and this speed is to be reduced to six miles per hour at intersections." "Those were the days of the scare headlines in the old Sun-Telegram," said one citizen Saturday. The Sun would come out in screaming type with something like this: 'Serious Bicycle Accident! Reckless Rider Injures Citizen! So and so collides with so and so!" "It was discussed just as seriously?! in those days as we dismiss the auto-1 1 mobile question now. They didn't;! seem to think that it was almost impossible to injure a man by hitting him with a bicycle, even if you tried.1 to run him down with one. No. indeed! A bicycle was considered a dangerous- piece of furniture then." Conduct Regulated. The' conduct of cyclists was care- , fully regulated. In the same piece of ' legislation passed in. 1896 which laid down the restrictions given before, we find, this section: "Not more than two persons sha-'il ride bicycles abreast of each other an any street, avenue or public highway:" And this: "No person shall rid; any bicycle on any street, avenue or public highway without a suitable beu attached thereto.". The penalty for violating any one o f the above provisions was a fine up b j $25. Prohibit Carrying Children Apparently the provision on which the council laid the most stress was that one prohibiting th carrying of si child on the handlebars Of a machine.

IND., SATURDAY, APRIL 22,

GLEE CLUB CONCERT IS MOST SUCCESSFUL IN HISTORY OF BODY The Earlham Glee .club gave the most successful concert in the history of the organization Friday night in the chapel , before a large audience. All the numbers, those by the club and the special features, were enthusiastically received. Perhaps the most popular individ ual glee, man present was Allan Wallace, who sang two selections and an encore. Hurford Grossman scored a hit with his reading, "The Foxe3 "Tails." . "The Tale of a Tack." sung by the quartet, Dale, Stanley. Arbaugh and Kirk, was well given. The other quartet of the evening, composed of Pitts, Wallace, Welty and Thornburg, showed remarkable harmony in their number, "Liza Lady." Cyril Pitts and Allan Wallace provided the merriment of the evening with a farce entitled "P. U. P." in which the college men were given ample opportunity to display their natural talent in solving "deep mysteries." Mark Heltbrink, pianist for the club, played as his individual contribution to the program "The Rustle of Spring." Carl Welty also played a piano selection, "The Fourth Barcarolle," by Goddard. "KNOCK WOOD" IDEA OLD SUPERSTITION It seems like slang. Yet it can scarcely be considered in that classifi cation, because the nhras nf ennd luck comes from an old Danish myth. n.nocK wooar- we say it often. But few people know how the byword came about. Here is the authentic origin: According to Danish tradition, when ever an old" Danish sea captain was about to start on a lone iournev in his wooden vessel, he would tap on the iue or nis snip and stand silently by. It waB a superstition that the elfs of the forest would come out to bless his ship because it held millions of their kind in its timbers. Whatever the cause, Danish ships submitted to this quaint ritual seemed to acquire immunity from the perils of the sea. So the superstition became a custom. And the old idea has come down to us in modern times. That is why we do not want our luck to desert us. Suburban CHESTER, Ind.

A total of $269,268 has been collected to date, as compared with $257,118 last year at this time. Ten thousand dollars had been collected up to 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and indications were that $50,000 would be taken in by nightfall; The largest amount taken in for any single day this season was $19,000. last Wednesday. : - The collections for this year art not only less in amount but less in proportion than last year, it was stated. This is seen in the fact that the tax rate for last year was lower than that of this year. May 1 is the final day of grace for taxpayers of the county. In order to take care of the rush before that date, announcement was made that the office will be open Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
