General Mitchell doe? not believe that the navy is a sacred thing, or that an army is the "whole cheese.” He unqualifiedly asserts that the further construction of battleships is an evidence of governmental senility—and, strange to say, he is endorsed by a vast army of observers and students of the world’s movements.

MANY BASKETBALL TEAMS HAVE ENTERED

Bloomimgton, Ind., Feb. 23. — An invitation to compete in the annual state high school free throw basketball tournament has been extended to the Syracuse High School. Many basketball teams throughout the state are entered in the contest sponsored for the second year bv the Department of Physical Education of Indiana University. Last more than 600 individual players competed. Probably twice that number* will be entered this year, according to advance reports. The contest will close February 28. Both individual and team trophies are awarded the winners by the Indiana University deoartment of physical education. The Logansport boys’ team won the cup wih highest score last year and the Michigan City girls’ team won the prize for girls. A team winning a cup retains it for its school for the year following the contest. Herbert Havens, of Lebanon high school, hst year won the grand individual championship with a perfect record of 50 goals out of 50 trials. Miss Ethel Mandel, a pupil at the Indiana State School for the Deaf, won the girls’ championship with 33 Successful attempts out of 50. Each team of 10 bovs or 10 girls for any school is allowed 50 trials, for each member. Practice before the trials Is unlimited. The actual comuetition consists either of two "throwings’’ of 25 shots apiece, or of 50 successive throws at one time. The record of each individual/competitor must be attested both the high school principalXnU basketball coach of each school. 1 The results for each high school competing are tabulated from reports furnished the state university and will be anhounced shortly after the close of the to’imament. The contest is for the purpose of stimulating a state-wide interest in accuracy among high school athletes.

MORE MILEAGE PER CAR ON PAVED HIGHWAYS Tests conducted by a number of State highway commissions of the nation show that for fuel alone, the driver of a Ford car who travels 6000 miles & year can save slightly better than $lB a year if all driving is on paved roads rather than gravel roads. To operate the same car 6000 miles on earth roads costs $4 more in .gasoline at 20 cents per gallon, than on paved highwaya So when an occasional protest is registered against paving Indiana state roads, highway officials suggest the car owner get busv for a few minutes with pencil and paper and determine to his own satisfaction if there is not a huge saving to be had between the two tynes of roads. Indiana highway officials pave a read when traffic on it reaches a point of density that it is cheaper to nave than to longer maintain with gravel or stone. So far they have not gone to the trouble of figuring up for the individual owner hc-w much he benefits and the amount actually S’ved when he operates his machine over pavement. Tests conducted over five and six year periods in all parts of the country by highway commission, tire companies, fuel stations and expert engineers, are authority for the figures that, uring the Ford car ms the basis of calculation because more of this make are on the roads, it is .31 of a cent cheaper per ton mile with gasoline selling at 20 cents a .gallon, to operate over a paved road than a gravel road. This is on fuel alone, and does net estimate the saving on car depreciation and garage bill between the various surface types. And cutting the gasoline bill in tw%can be further augmented by a saving on tires. It recently came to the attention of the Indiana state higbwav commission, says John D. Williams, director, that a bus operator owning lines on the National road land on State Road 32. was obtaining twice the mileage with a 30-passenger bus on the paved national road than he is with a 7-passsnger touring car on the gravel road. Both distances traveled daily by bus and touring car are the same. In other words, higbwav officials say, the bus operated altogether on a paved road gets 26.000 to 30,000 miles on a set of tires, while the touring car operated altogether on a gravel rOad, gets 12.000 to 14,000 miles on a set of the same kind of tires. Saving in tires alone, Indiana highway officials contend. should be sufficient argument for every car owner to wish Indiana's principal traffic lanes paved. BREMEN FARMER SUICIDES Believed to have been despondent over financial affairs, Walter Bellman, 36, a farmer, residing one mile south of Bremen, shot himself to death in an outbuilding on the farm belonging to his brother. Charles, near there Monday. His brother found his lifeless body a few minutes after the man had sent a bullet through his head. A wife, two children, his mother and the brother survive. o The Ford Motor assembly department is to be moved from Detroit to a new plant at River Rouge, a one-story structure! with 525.400 square feet of floor space, and a capacity for 9000 completed motors every-16-hour working day. o General Wood’s son successfully beat the Wall Street game, but Lady Luck failed him at Monte Carlo, and he will now have it all to do over again.

“THE THIEF OF BAGDAD” Douglas Fairbanks, in his remarkable pictorial fantasy, made from the Arabian Knights, “The Thief of Bagdad,” which made such a tremendous hit at the Majestic theatre , Ft. Wayne, in December last has been engaged for a return run at the same theatre, starting Friday, February 27 for one week, continuous shows, 1:00 p. m. to 11:00 p. m., daily but at popular prices, adults children 25 cents instead ot*HJMUjmd $1.65 at its former showing. This “most extraordinary of all moving pictures” will be presented with the original musical score. It is the expressed opinion of all critics, where this picture has been shown, that it is something entirely new in moving picture developement. It is perhaps the most spectacular production ever made; its texture is woven of the slender threads of dreams, its people move in the fairy land, where everything rests upon the light and airy foundation of fancy. More nationalities were employed as actors than in any picture ever produced before. All of the old races and a few of the Caucasians had to be represented to give it the oriental coloring necessary: Chinese, Nubians, East Indians. Persians, Syrians, Arabians, Turks, Jews and many

I others. To see something really ! worth while see “The Thief of J Bagdad.” o INDIANA IS THIRD ' According to a reports of the .
