ttmas must ruis: A few weeks ag. striking shopmen wre fla-d In th outlaw position of defying tha government and the people, of the United State. Today a few railroad executives, fighting to crush collective ba.rsralr.lnff. ar on strike agnlnet the government and against the people. Whn President ILardlng outlined h!i plan of c;ratirr the railroads And ent word to these presidents that "The nr th terms upon which you will agree," they evidently read hi statement a they misjht glance, at the latest Joka in Puck. For the annver of the men, who represent the ownership of the reads, 1 that they will NOT agree to the trm which the president and hl advisers have tola them Is a Just hasis for a peaceful settlement of what 1 no lonrT & private quarrel. Were the content simply between the owners of a few etrfflfcB of eteel and a bunch of enrlnes on the rm hand and a group of obstinate "workers on the cthr. the exchange of letters would be Interesting and nothing more. It has rone beyond that. The coverr.ment knows that the roads are not operating their lines and that even' Industry, every huslr.ee and every Job In this country In threatened by this strike quarrel. If the strike was ft senpeless. useless, unnecessary itrupfile, the refusal of the owners of these lines to yield to the presidential command Is more than that. It i.s sahotage by Iollar a sabotage that strikes At the pocketbookg. the wealth, the llvinr Of every e;tizr-n cf Arnerica. Transportation I the very life of our present civilization. All other industries are built around It. All life depends upon It. The men who control the operation of thete lins Inherited obligations as well as right? from the original builders. The nation. In granting them franchises and In giving many of these lines public bounties, recognized the public character of the roads. The.e men now place their prejudices, their blase, their hltternctn above the demand of tho r.-opl volred hy the president. , When the workers In the coal mines made a similar stand om few weeks ago, they lost every claim to public sympathy. V.'hy phould the owners of roads ce Immune from the eame ostracism? Ono thine: Is certain: The railways must be kept !n operation, not with a few traln for malls, a few passenger eervlces, but must be run on a basis that -.111 meet th demand of the industries of this t ountry. That means they must run trains to carry coal to the factories which will oon be lflle. if the available supply Is taken over by the federal dictator for Jublic utilities. That means that the farmer of this country muet have a means of getting his crops to market and the goods he desires In return. Xo group of men can be greater than the government. No bun;h of men, no matter how rich, can be Permitted to defy the necessities of the nation. It was easy to call upon the secretary of war for an Army to prevent the strikers from committlnr lolence. What army will President Hardlnf call uron to eubdue the greater violence of these railway presidents when they refuse to run their trains? Or wiil the 5-me man who called for his troop ill en, educate these others into believing that the president meant what he said?

BRITAIN REPUDIATES. The mlRhty empire of Great Britain, very valiant lr. lnsletir.sr on the principle that countries which tlo not pay their debts are entitled to no recognition, tonJs word that fhe will not pay her debt to this cour.tr' until fhe can collect from other countries. Of course the Ocll "brand of diplomacy doee not permit her to make the statement openly and boldly. Instead, ehe sends notes to these countries to which she loaned money during the war to nable thm to help her in the war with Germany, that she cannot pay the United States until they pay up. Many billions of dollar are due from Great Britain. Vcder the law by which theo funds were raised through the enl of liberty Ponds In this country, this money was to be used to ray back to the purchasers of these bond the dollars they f.ive.i through unusual sacrifice. The statement, eominc at this time, might have l-een expected when Congress. ome months ago. placed the collection of these debts in the hands of a commission named by the Interests which advise tH.- present administration, a commission that might from Its personnel be expected to accept as n-as.-ir.afcle the pa. that before the public debts rre collected the other billions borrowed In this country, tefore we went to war, from bankers and th ir dient, b- repaid. When these ether loans were floated In this country the big Wall etreet tanks made many hundreds of millions In ccmm'.eslor.s by raising these funds to keep Ung-lar.d In the war. Th'y rave. In rr.ot Instances, their endorsement to the loans eo that the -".:rchasers expect them To ccl'.eCt. Now. with Congress no lor.jrer able to direct any action which would tend to f tiffin the bickbones ff public collectors. TJr.gland comes along with her pub!:' acknowledgement that ?he doe? not expect to p.y until ehe can make other rationalities pcy back the lt:5h lar.a which she herself made. It 1 an indirect repudiation of a debt. It Is the devi--:.- method of diplomacy cf dodging payment. In the meantime Great Pritaln finds funds for her many purpc-js of war and commercial supremacy. ?h hi money for a very considerable army. Fhe bis rr.or.ey to reich out and grab oil fields and romrr.f rc: 1 alvantae under government subsidies. She has fur.. Is for her pensioned soldier, which this country, richer than any other, finds itself too poor to : ay her ferice nu n because cf the huge Interest charges that fhculd be paid by the empire. Were ihm nation one of the lesser powers, Mexico,

for Instance, ther would he an Insistent demand that the custom houee be seized until the debts are raid and that this country b allowed to examine the manner In which public funds ar spent by a nation which refuses to pay. Perhaps a new Congress, elected next November, may see fit to take back the power It gve this feml-seret commission and will dirover Just why hc.e billions of the people's money, loaned to this great nation, should not be paid regardless of its bad debta fjue from others. e TIME TO HURRY. During-. the month of July, building permits were Issued for the construction of IS new dwellings, almost a record, in the history of the city. Before you t..M too much with pride about this gTowth. read the statement issued on Tuesday by the mayor's housing expansion committee that the city will need 4,00 new homes before March. 1?2H. If you will look at the calendar and multiply the lumber of permits by the number of remaining months, wise citizens will have an answer. Two hundred houses a month will not be enough, If this committee has correctly estimated the number of house that will be needed by those who will come here to live and be a part of the growing and expanding Industrie. This city cannot afford to overcrowd. It will Fardly consent to small quarters, lack of sanitation, inconveniences that breed ill health and evil conditions in themselves. Nor will this city ever let It be recorded to its !ating discredit that it failed to have the courage, the vision, the initiative and the push to take advantage of a condition which few other cities have had for greater prosperity. The building record, great when looked at from normal standards, ahould be the signal to every alert man who wants to profit and who wlshca to help in a great civic enterprise, to figure out what Jot he intends to build upon. There will be a need of homes. The renter will profit by ownlnr his own. The man who builds to rent can be assured of a food return. South Pend should speed up. The demand i greater than the supply. - o FAME YOU DESERVE. The world vnows nothing about Its greatest men. Our greatest men are not etars who live by exhibition of themselves anrt abilities but quiet people who think and work In modest seclusion. Walkley, brilliant dramatic critic of th London Times, makes this observation. It Is true. History "will remember the "great" men who plunged- the world into the World war. History will paint in bright colors the men who carried on the work of destruction for more than four years. Put history will be strangely silent about a greater than thee-e the plodders who now are latlently repairing the damages tolling to rebuild a civilization burned out to its very skeleton. The men who really are repairing the war's dameges are not the Prominent Gentlemen who get their names in the newspaper headlines. The real builders are the farmers tolling to restore food supply to normal, the, mechanics furnishing the materials to replace what was destroyed, and the unadvertlsed millions contributing their dally mites to the war debt. A peculiar thins; lsj fame. And always it Is unfair, the lucky individual getting more than he deserves. Watt is famous for Inventing the stesm engine. Yet his discovery of the principle would have been worthless if it had not been for the unknown thousands who patiently had worked out mechanical movements and methods of converting iron ore into steel. Ail Watt did was gather up these loose ends, put them together, add a new Idea and march into history with credit for the whole thing. All famous men "borrow" nine-tenth of their invention, skill or art. Men work many things from farm soil to metals and chemical magic. In proper combinations, thejse bring fame. Hut the greatest material man works with Is man himself his character. And the greatest men are those who emerge with the greatest character. Character, by Its example and contagion, Is the only thing a man can build with permanence. It outlasts the Pyramid. And you, as you look back over your life, probebly will agree that the greatest person you ever met was some individual who never rose above obscurity. Yet he made a success of his lffe. Fame is futile. Crave It not. What counts most Is personal satisfaction with what we have made of ourselves and our life's work. We leave thi world aa we enter It alone and In the last analysis each man is his own best Judge. o LEGACY TO A CAT. A will of three words bequeathed a small fortune to a Maltese cat. You are wrong. The will was not made b a bachelor maid, a spinster or old maid, but by a widow. She directed that the few thousands, which were hers, were to be used after she had gone to her last fleep In the feeding of her pet. It is true that the lneret on the money would provide much more food than the cat could porlbly eat, that under no stretch of luxury would It be possible to expend the Income upon the maintenance of the animal. The legscy was foolish of course, although there "rvill be many who may sympathize with the last wish of this) woman who desired that the companion of her lonely hours be provided for. What she could not give the cat was the same affection and kindness which had endeared it to her In her life time. All that ehe could do was to provide for Its existence. Whatever else of comfort in life a cat can have cr get. It will have to find through its purring attachment to some other person. Possibly the will of this woman may. when closely scrutinized, be found to provide about all that f.ny will ever does give to its beneficiaries. Comfort, freedom from want and hunger, a certain security may be handed on. After that, life whether it be of a cat or a human being, rests with the individual. The real things of life come from other source than bequexts. o The hand that rocks the cradle is too often the hired hand.

OthQrEdtforsllianQtg DOOMED (Indlsna Times) For years we have all been moaning about "the old oaken bucket that hung in the well." Quartets have advertised the famous old bucket until most cf us have it Indelibly In our brains as a symbol lor pure, refreshing drinking water. Now comes the Connecticut state board of health and warns that most wells with an old oaken bucket are germ-polluted, and abou; as lit to drink from aa a swamp. Most of our sentimental ideals would be unmasked the same way if we gave them sound ana-

lytical thought.

CARL HIBBERD. Dr. Claude Geyer, the prominent local dentist, has returned from Wisconsin, -where he was hunting water dogs. Mr. Ersklnc has announced another cut in the pr.ee of Studebiker cars.

Perhaps he changed his mind When he pot down by The New Times office and sold ihe fish to Charley Brenfleck instead. I believe I would put the matter In tho hands of Detective Hamilton. NOR IN ADLER. It tooks very much to us as if America's foremost roofer was practising some deception on Ye Editor. When Dave RoswrCi goes on a motor trip, you can always depend on

getting at least two letters from him, one from a police station ar.d j the other from a hospital. ' ' an iivunkst sei:ki:u rou TUIT1IFIL STATISTICS. According to the Howell County j (Mo.)

You learned in phyeios that light consists of a l:t of rays and that these rays differ in their effects. Somo cause heat. Some Illuminate. Others have magical, chemical effects. These last rays are called "actinic" rays. They are made use of ry the photographer to make possible the impression of the pic ture upon the plate. Whon you go on a picnic, tho actlnio rays paint pictures on your face. They burn redness Into tho tip of your noe. They burn your neck and back. They have no re spent for bald heads and the go'fer come home with a red and shining dotme. Sunburn and tan are due to the action of these special rays. But it does you no good to know why you fuffer this way. You want to know how tu escape it. It is hard for some or us to learn that everything we undertake should begin temporately When we play tennis we have to learn to "go easy" at first. When hayln? time begins It Is well to pitch hay modestly the first day. Otherwise, when next mornlr? dawns, thero wit: r ore m uncles and acning Joints. If your complexion is light and especially if you are inclined to De "car.dy." you mujt be careful about exposing your face and arms to the "sunlight. Go at it by easy st.iges. Pretty soon your ?kin will adapt itself to the sunlight and then you will not have to eivdure the dreadful burning you would have experi

enced if you had not been careful, at first.

One may be ill as the result of J sunburn. Fever and other constitu- I

tlonal symptoms may follow. Certainly your efficiency will be lowered for several days If the sunburn Is excessive. Wear a hat. with a wide brim if possible. Women get a lot of protection from the thinnest sort of a veil. It Is surprising how much good this does. If you take pa ns like this for two or three days, you will probably escape severe sunburn. Quinine is a useful drug used iocally to protect the skin. It may be prepared as a powders-one pirt to 15 parts of talcum powder. Thia may be dusted on the skin. Or the quinine may be dissolved in petrokum oil and applied to the bare skin. If the skin has been burned, cold cream may be used. This is preferable to water, which should not be applied to the skin after exposure to the sun. After coming in from a drive, a few hours on fh

or anywhere In the sunshine, do'

not apply water, but clean the skin with cream, gently rubbed off with a soft cloth. Treat your skin as carefully is you do the veneer of a piano and you will have a beautiful complexIon. Harden yourself to the sunlight, because you need its healthful ..f-fec-t. It kills) germ.?, enriches tho blood and makes you lit for life.

An Indian girl who livts on the banks of the Anwzon river in Drazil does not look forward with Joy to the day when she will be considered a "grown-up baby." For that day is no doubt the most pain-

iu, one or ner iiie because of ai

cruel custom still existing among the natives. When the Indian girl : about 14 years of ase her parents decide it is about time she should have a heme of her own. Rut she in still only a littl girl, so they decide to "make a woman of her." Sending a messenger with an Invitation to all of the relatives and friends the parent prepare a feast. They continually remind the girl that fhe is to be made a grown-up woman at the big ceremony, and that all of her people will be there to see how brave and strong she Is. Knowing what this means', having taken prt la ceremonies of the sort herself, the !itt girl looks forward with fear and dread to the day of the feast. She must not show her fear, but nv.'st grin and fei?n much Joy at the respect her relative are going to pay to hr. Have they not paid her th tribute of considering her wise

enuugh ar.d big enough to become a vcman and have a husband? Tough switches are prepared for tho relative?. Calling the little girl to the centre of a big ring which they have formed, they raise the switches as she marches bravely to her place of initiation. Then the relatives each file pastier, .striking her until he falls prostrate. The parents must strike as hard as any of the other relatives or they ar tfi'monis'hed to be more severe. After the ceremony, pots of meat are prepared, and the great switches are dipped in them. These are (g.ven the girl to lick, and when this is finished fihe r hailed a "woman." However, even after shl is considered a woman she must submit to more beatings before her relatives are sure she is brave enough to be A wife. The beatings are repeated four time?, six hours apart. Each ia more severe than the other. If the girl shown great courage and rcTue.-ts her relatives to btat her more severely, she Is considered Quite a wonderful woman, and the braves of the tribe vie for the hand
