SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Items of Interest Concerning Onr High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. Miss Hamman gave a prognosis latin test to the sophomores Wednesday, as an aid in an experiment being carried on by the Educational Department of Indiana University. All parents who are interested in buying a band instrument are requested to meet in the school building Thursday evening at 7:30. Mr.'V. Q Finnell gave an illustrated talk to the high shool Wednesday afternoon. His subject was, “The Brown God and His White Imps.” The high school boys are working in earnest now, to develop into another winning team. They still have hopes of having a gymnasium for this year. —o SCHOOL LUNCH SURPRISE Think back to your own school days, and recall how delighted you were when you opened up your lunch basket and found a "surprise” there. You will immediately want to pull your "thinking cap" on a little more firmly and see what you can do to relieve the monotony of the same old sandwiches Johnnie's or Mary’s box. The United States Department of Agriculture has a few suggestions to make that may help you. To begin withl you can’t do entirely without sandwiches, for they are the most convenient method of combining several substantial foods in a small space and they are easy for the children to handle without tableware. But you can make sandwiches of different kinds of bread—graham, rye. raisin, nut. date, prune, or fig bread and breads made from cooked cereals with combinations of dried fruit and nuts. Then there are the quick breads—rolls, biscuits, corn bread, muffins—which are not necessarily served hot, although we are apt to prefer them that way. Once in a while use one of these different breads either for sandwiches, or without filling so they do not seem, like the same old thing. Save all the little jars that have tight lids—peanut butter and salad dressing jars, and jelly glasses. Fill these jars with such favorite foods as honey or preserves, apple sauce, stewed fruits, cottage cheese, or anything that can not be spread in the ordinary way. ROUND TABLE CLUB The Ladies of the Round Table Club enjoyed the first meeting of the fall season last Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. W. G. Connolly. Fourteen members were present and from the interest displayed at this meeting the season for club work will surely prove a busy one. Business matters were attended to and the program for this particular meeting was carried out to the letter. Mrs. C R. Hollett read an article on the subject of ’The Other Wise Man." After the program was finished dainty refreshments were served. —o LICENSE PLATES On the basis of the number of license plates already issued this year, Indiana will use 680,000 pleasure car licenses and 110,000 truck license plates in 1927. according to an estimate by Mark Rhoads, manager of the automobile license division. The new plates are being made by a firm at Anderson and will have a black background with white letters. They will be of the same design as the present plates. REMEMBERED THE EDITOR S. D. Lung brought some fine specimens of peaches to the Journal office on Wednesday. These peaches were grown on trees from seed which was planted by Mr. Lung several years 'ago. %

STATE TO ACQUIRE THE SHREWSBURY HOUSE In the opinion of Tom Wallace, chief of editorial staff of The Louisville Times, the Indiana Department of Conservation should now acquire the Shrewsbury house at Madison, for this mansion, with the famous Lanier Home recently acquired, represent two distinct and notable types of ante-bellum domiciliary architecture, and each have an historic interest in Hoosierland that should be preserved. In a recent editorial in the Lobisville paper, Mr. Wallace, known as one of the foremost conservationists of the country, writes as follows: "The Indiana Department of Conservation, in acquiring the Lanier residence, in Madison, to dedicate as a period museum, has done public service which should be recognized in Kentucky. "The Lanier house is an excellent example of the dociliary spacious grounds, reaching the Ohio, its pillared portico commanding a view of the river and the Kentucky hills, make it a surperb example of the grand mansion of anti-bellum days. Its plan and its mileu, although it is on the north side of the Ohio, make it racy of the south. Its builder was a Southerner, yet was a Union sympathizer. While he loaned Indiana $1,000,000 to finance its participation in the war, his neighbor, two blocks down the street, on the same side of the street, his mansion by the architect of the Lanier house, sympathized with the Confederacy. "The Laniers and Shrewsburys were not mere embroiled Montagues and Capulets. They divided upon a question which divided brothers in Kentucky. A mere notable illustration of this division. between families of the same social orbit, hardly could be cited. That it occurred on the north side of the river adds to its historic interest. "The work of the Department of Conservation will be but half done till it gets the Shrewsbury house. It is not procurable at present because it is valued by its occupants, the Walkers. Mrs. Walker, nee Rogers, is of a Lexington clan. Mr. Walker was a nephew, and in boyhood, a protege, of one of the Kentucky Crittendens. “Not only because both houses are good examples of the work of a remarkable architect, Costigan, who left his impress upon Madison, and left his name engraved in a circular silver plate upon the newel of the circular staircase of each of the two residences; not merely because the unsupported circular stairway in the Shrewsbury house is the better example of Costigan’s art, but also, and mainly, because the picture is incomplete, historically, without the Shrewsbury house, the Department of Conservation should look forward to procuring it."

ANKLE SPRAINED Miss Hermione Wilcox, who Is a student in the Post Graduate hospital in Chicago, met with a painful mishap last week. She was descending a flight ofstairs when her ankle turned over, badly wrenching her foot and ankle. An X-Ray was taken to determine the extent of the injury, as it was first thought her foot was broken, but the examination proved the injury was only a bad sprain. However. Hermione has been confined to her room and part of the time to her bed, but her friends will be pleased to learn she is improving. o BAND NOTES The Syracuse Band will give another open air concert next Wednesday evening, September 22. and as often thereafter as the weather permits. The name of the band has been changed to the “Syracuse Chamber of Commerce Band." October 1 and 2 have been set aside as tag days. The band boys are in need of new uniforms and by these means they hope to collect enough money to buy them. Boost the band! MARKET The Ladies of the United Brethren church will hold a market at Strieby’s seed room on Saturday, September 18, commencing at ten o'clock. 20-pd - - -o --. “The Waning Sex’* with charmtag Norma Shearer.

COMMUNITY BUILDING Bonds are now being sold for the reconstruction of the old lumber building to be used as a basketball court and community building until such time when the township advisory board sees that it is their duty to build one in connection with the high school. _J. C. Abbott, the promotor, gave us briefly the layout which he intends to follow: An arch roof to replace the present roof making it 21 ft high and having no posts at the sides. The building to have public retiring rooms, dressing rooms, stage, and a seating capacity of about 1100 people. The heating will be by the blower system which will also be used for ventilation as well. Floor plans showing basketball floor are now in the Electric Shop window. It should be the duty of every booster to hunt up a subscription list and sign up for at least the purchase of one bond, face value being SIO.OO. The present owner of the building has agreed to sell the building on a term contract which makes it possible to put this over. It is understood Milford’s high school games are such that it would be impossible to play ours there, leaving this our only chance.

MONEY GONE! # Milton Rentfrow was ‘cheated’’ out of about fifty dollars a few days ago. l,t happened this way: Mr. Rentfrow returned home on Saturday from his route in the country gathering up chickens and farm produce. He had the money in a bag and when h|e got home he took a few things from the car into the house, and thought he took the money with him. However, he cannot recall whether or not he took the money in the house or left it in the car, but did not miss it until Monday when he was ready to start out on his trip to the country. When he looked for the bag of money it was gone! Mr. Rentfrow feels that some one was snooping around the barn and got the money out of the car before he had time to take it to the house. o_ — DIED SUDDENLY Mrs. Harry Borchering, aged 34, died very suddenly on Saturday afternoon at three o’clock at the Sargent Hotel, on Wawasee Lake. The deceased was the head waitress at the hotel and had been employed there for a number of years. She was on duty on Friday evening and was taken ill Friday night, dying on Saturday afternoon. She had been ill about twenty-four hours, suffering with peritonitis. She is survived by her Husband. The body was shipped to Cincinnati, Ohio, on Monday for burial. o PYTHIAN SISTERS The Pythian Sisters will hold the first meeting after the summer vacation on Friday, September 24. Every member is urged to be present.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1926

UNWARRANTED ARRESTS OF HOOSIER MOTORISTS To warn the motorist against being arrested and fined at Ingalls, The Hoosier State Automobile Association had two employees at work during the busy traffic hours one Sunday recently stopping traffic as it approached the town of Ingalls, hhnding them a warning card reading as follows: “Warning against arrest. The Hoosier State Automobile Association wants you to have a pleasant trip free from constable interference. There have been many arrests here for the stop sign violations, but the signs themselves are unwarranted. This is just a friendly warning.’’ State road No. 37 at a point about twenty-five miles northeast of Indianapolis passes through the edge of Ingalls where all told there is said to be not in excess of a dozen buildings along the highway. The town board of Ingalls has had two automatic overhead STOP and GO signs zuspended over the roadway at thjs point and erected closer together than the average street is to the nearest alley. The Town Marshal and his assistants in conjunction with the Justice of the Peace have been making life miserable for the traveling public, with the result that the automobile association has put up speed traps signs on each side oLthe town, calling attention to <nese “trick stop signs” and in addition has been passing out warning notices. One of the parties arrested was J. J. Brown of the Board of Tax Commissioners. Mr. Brown saw the warning sign but did not see the overhead signals. He passed under these signals at less than ten miles an hour, and even though he did not see tlhfe signals and was going at that slow rate of speed, in no wise endangering anybody, he nevertheless was arrested and fined. Mr. Brown has notified the Town Marshal that he feels such practice is a miscarriage of justice and lhas the tendency to cause disregard for our courts generally. The-automobile association has placed it’s legal department at the services of Mr. Brown and is ready to take action against the Justice of the Peace to recover the fine and have the entire incident expunged from the records.

W. C. T. U. ELECT OFFICERS Mrs. Edna Niles was hostess to the W. C. T. U. on Tuesday. There was a good attendance, and new officers were elected for the coming year as follows President—Mrs. Emma Mabie Vice-President —Mrs. Sadie Hire Secretary—Mrs. Edna Niles Assistant Secretary—Mrs. Evelyn Strock. Treasurer —Mrs. Lena Bauer Corresponding Secretary—-Mrs. Alice Dolan Mrs. Emma Mabie, Mrs. Emma Bushong and Mrs. Josephine Woods were chosen as delegates to attend the aonvention in Laporte in October.

ENROLLED AS STUDENT (Special to The Syracuse Journal.) Indianapolis, Ind,, Sept 13.—, Miss Thelma Eiler is among the Syracuse students who enrolled at Indiana Central College, Tuesday, September 7, when the year’s work began with a twenty per cent increase in the enrollment ,jn the main branches of the curriculum-liberal arts, teacher training, science and premedic courses, music, public speaking, journalism, and religious education. This record attendance of I twenty per cent increase is adequately handled with the completion of a new dormitory which the rapid growth of the student body demanded. Student capacity is now five hundred. There are all indications that this capacity will again have to be increased. Among the above standard and fully accredited courses, the largest growth is seen in the schools of liberal arts and education. A department for the training of primary teachers was added September 7 to the establisbed coursees of teacher training for high school, intermediate grade, grammar grade, and rural school. Enrollment shows tha,t the premedical schools and the department of music are also popular. The new course in journalism opened with a good enrollment. The registering of many athletes from the various high schools also gives promise of a splendid year in athletics. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The members of the Syraecse Commercial Club met in regular session Tuesday at the Sign of the Kettle after the noonday luncheon. Twenty members were present. The minutes of the last regular and special meetings ' were read and approved, after which the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President—W. T. Colwell Vice-President—W. G. Connolly Secretary—H. A. Buettner Treasurer —Stephan Freeman O. A. Bach of the Bach- Service Bureau, Rockford, 111., was present and made a proposition to put on a “Home Talent Chautauqua," consisting of lectures, playlets, reading, etc., by trained people. The musical program will be made cp from home talent. The Chautauqua program will be made up from body. A large tent seating 750 people will be erected. The i dates selected are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 1, 2 and 3. • 1

SERIES OF ADDRESSES The pastor of the United Breihern church offers to the people of Syracuse and vicinity an unusual treat in Bible study for the coming fall weeks. He has outlined a series of addresses on the Mountain Peaks of the Bible which will be delivered at the evening services of the local church, beginning with Sunday evening. September 26. It is the plan to make these Sunday evening services just as interesting and instructive as possible, and to that end attention will be given to the music, congregational and special. 4 Special music will be rendered at each service, accompanied by illustrated slides and other features. The first address will have as its subject Mt Ararat, the mountain upon which Noah’s Ark rested after the Flood. In attending these services one will be assured of good music, an atmosphere of worship, and an interesting and illuminative address. o ' FINE LOT OF FELLOWS Says the Cromwell Advance in its last issue: The Syracuse band furnished a splendid quality and quantity of music on Labor Day and at no time laid down on the job. They are a fine lot of fellows, and we were well pleased with their services. — o OVERLAND PRICES REDUCED As announced on another page a big cut has been made in the price of Overland cars, sold by the Syracuse Auto Sales. The prices are reduced from S4O to $l2O. • ; o PUBLIC SALE Saturday, September 25, beginning at 1 o'clock p. m M the household goods belonging to the estate of William McClintic, deceased, will be sold at public auction.

POULTRY AND SWINE SPECIALIST TO BE HERE Farmers and poultry raisers of this section who have been losing chickens or pigs, are going to get an opportunity to find out where the trouble is, for arrangements have been made whereby Dr. V. C. Fretz, a member of the Research Department of the George H. Lee Company, Omaha, Nebraska, and a specialist on poultry and swine troubles. will be here on the above date to conduct a post-mortem demonstration clinic on poultry and hogs. This meeting will .be held in the Strieby Seed Room, September 20. This is part of the campaign being waged to assist farmers and poultry raisers in reducing the tremendous loss on farms every year among these two branches of live stock. This clinic demonstration is really a short course school, teaching producers how to correctly diagnose, treat and prevent diseases and other troubles, which are common causes of much loss among poultry and swine. Everyone who has been losing any chickens or pigs, or who has cluckens or pigs that are not doing well, is invited to bring in specimens for examination, and receive free instructions on the cause, treatment, and prevention of the trouble. Plenty of specimens are needed to bring out the full value of this demonstration, and it is hoped every farmer in this community will take advantage of the opportunity to learn some real facts about disease prevention. Every poultry and hog raiser should hear this man. There will be no admission charge, and nothing offered for sale at the clinic. Come, and learn how to s*op your losses. Remember the day, date and place: Monday, September 20, at the Strieby Seed Room. RAYON

What is rayon? The word is not in the dictionaries, but a large manufacturing concern defines it as “A lustrous textile fiber made, by converting pure cellulose into thread formation, by means of chemical and mechanical processes." The origin of the new fiber’ts somewhat obscure, but it is known that French chemists experimented in making a similar material some 60 years ago. In 1900 what is called the celluloseacetate, process was discovered and was utilized for making a plastic compound of cellulose. Soon afterward another inventor perfected an apparatus for twisting and coiling the textile fiber from cellulose. While cotton cellulose was first used, wood pulp is now the chief source of supply and the fabric will outwear cotton. It is a chemical, rather than an agricultural product, and is not classed as imitation silk. The public has adopted a word that is not slang and. put it into common usage before the dictionary makers discovered it The fabric itself was worn long before it was properly christened.

THINGS TO THINKABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them <m the Surface. The Wee Small Hours Down in gay N’Yawk they hfcye been having a little argument as to Whether a s>o-called curfew regulation closing some late night resorts at 2 o’clock in the morning, shall be allowed to run until 3 o’clock. It is represented that it will be a hardship on many of those places to close up at two. ♦ The great majority of tfiie American, people, who go to bed around 10 o’clock, and occasionally treat themselves to some blow out that keeps them out an hour or two later, can not see why people need continue their celebrations until two or three in the morning. It would look to them as if these folks would not be in very fine shape next day. There are some to whom the world seems to grow more interesting the later it gets. They remark, about the time when the folks are getting sleepy, that it is “just the edge of the evening." This is nothing new, as the previous generation used to sing "We won't go home until morning," with equal ardor. Some people in these gay circles feel, after they have spent an evening at the theatre, that the job is only half done without some elaborate dinner, and then they must take a turn at dancing, all of which will take several hours. They may get along very comfortably provided they behave themselves, and can sleep the next morning until well toward noon.

But if people have vzork to do that requires them to get around at the usual hours wtlien places of business and industry open, they must learn to be careful about the nigiht stuff. The two things do not go togetflwr. When people cut short their sleep right along, the result soon shows in their health and in the quality of work tlhley are able to turn out Evolution Mary had a little lamb. Into a sheep it grew, The sheep tunned into mutton, And the mutton into stew. If you are interested in 4the welfare of Syracuse subscribe at least for one bond for the proposed new auditorium or community building. Th is will help to put the proposition over big. A good deal is said about juvenile delinquency, but we should not forget there is still muchi of the adult variety abroad in the land. It’s getting to be about time to get the old overcoat out, and see how much fun the moths bad with it this summer. Not so long ago tfciey predicted that “women would eventually support men.” Well, don’t they on election day? Woman’s place used to be in the tome, but this summer it seems to be in the English channel. Baby girls don’t require much clothing. Not even after they’ve long quit telling their age. The way of the transgressor is hard. It has to be to stand up under th|fe traffic. Every new short skirt Ma gets —makes Pa’s bank account a little shorter. Hie man who doesn’t profit by his mistakes will go on making ’vorse ones. The man who knows it all will tell you even more than that. ' The best way to rise in this world, is eat a lot of yeast.
