Kaplan reached Syracuse Saturday, for a two weeks visit with Mrs. Kaplan’s brother, and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Preston Milesi Mrs. Kaplan will be remembered as the Syracuse girl who went to New York City as a linotype operator on the New York Evening Post where her work was so unusual that the paper carried a half-column story about her. The former Marjorie May Miles met Mr. Kaplan who at that time was a fellow worker on the Post. They were married last November 19. Mrs. Kaplan is combining a career with home-making, just coming to Syracuse on a short vacation from her “career.” She enjoys each equally, she said. Mr. Kaplan, no longer with the paper where his wife is employed, but is now connected with the New York Law Journal. When questioned about no longer working in the same composing room with his wife, Mr. Kaplan said:

“Well, the men working with her there, now bring her flowers every day.” The following is part of the story the New York Evening Post printed about Mrs. Kaplan, under the -Mack headlines which stated that a Syracuse girl was excelling as “Post” Linotype operator. “Almost totally shut out from the world of sound and hardly able to speak, a young woman of 28, nevertheless, has been able to take her place and hold her own beside men workers —and what is more, to earn the same rate of wages. “Her name is Miss Marjorie Miles, linotype operator in the composing room of the New York Evening Post where she has worked for a year. “Her only formal schooling has been a year in an institution for the deaf, where she learned to read lips. “From a brother, Preston H. Miles, and three other sisters, however, she also learned much, and in time she asked her brother to help her find a useful place in the world. This was when she was just twenty years old, and he had become a publisher of the Syracuse, (Ind.,) Journal. “He started her on a linotype machine in his own print shop and for five and one half years trained her in the care and operation of the typesetting machines. Anyone who has worked in a good country print shop knows well enough that the training is thorough. “Miss Miles found a job for herself with the Midland Typesetting Company at Kansas City, where she worked for a time. Then she moved to Indiana Harbor, Ind.-, where she worked in the shop of the Calpniet News, livings with her sister, Mary, who was a school teacher there. “A year ago she came to the New York Evening Post.”

SYRACUSE. INDIANA. THURSDAY. AUGUST 15. 1929

Big Time Here Street Fair Week AH cars will be hfcaded to Syracuse during the week of Aug. 26 to 31 because of the big time in store for everybody when the big street fair with the J. Harry Six attractions, under the auspices oL the local Commercial Club, start things to moving. This company will show in Cygnet, Ohio, next week and will make a trip of over two hundred miles in .order to play Syracuse and it is only because of having played here before and the pleasant relations experienced with local people at that time, that they consented to bill the town in this schedule. The company is bigger and better than ever and are carryingtwo free acts which alone are worth going miles to see. The feature of these two is Capt. Earl McDonald in a 100 foot water high dive. This act is supplemented by Elaine Lee in high and fancy diving. These two acts will be of especial interest to the people of this community in so far as the people around here are more or less interested in such sports and no doubt some of the younger generation will be trying the stunts afterwards. Along with the free attractions they carry eight big shows, among them being the Athletic show, Hawaiian show, Brown Eyes show, Deep Sea, Mechanical “Ha rivemTts te enhoetaoishrm “Harvest Time on the Farm” and several others. Four big rides will be on hand to keep the kiddies and some grown ups who still enjoy being young entertained. On Friday afternoon will be Children’s Day, at which time all children un’der twelve will be admitted to all shows and rides for 5 cents .admission. There are some predictions that Friday will be-the big day while others say that Thursday is always the big day, but judging from interest displayed at this early date, our opinion is that every day wil be a big day. There is another rule to measure this by, and that is the fact that the Commercial Club never does declared themselves that this is anything by halves, and the Committe in charge of affairs have going to be the biggest week Syracuse has ever had, and one that will be hard to equal in the future. —o Mrs. Ervin Wogoman was most pleasantly surprised last Thursday evening when a few of her neighbors and friends walked in on her with well filled baskets to help her celebrate her birthday. A pot luck supper was enjoyed and the evening spent in a social way.

Journal Under New Ownership With this issue of the Journal, your present, or rather, past owner and editor, hands over the keys to the printing plant to Harry L. Porter, Jr., who comes into possession of the business through a deal which was closed Wednesday. This deal may surprise some, while to others it has been known that a deal was in the mak'ng f or the past week, Mr. and Mrs. Porter appeared on the scene last week, at which time negotiations started and the sale was made yesterday. We do not hesitate in saying that the readers of the Journal will benefit through this deal insofar as Mrs. Porter, who v i’J take charge of the news end pf the paper has had extensive experience in this field, having been connected with some of the larger newspapers in the larger cities, and our predictions are that you will be served with a real newspaper in the future. And judging from our experience with Mr. Porter in this deal, we feel sure that the patrons of the advertisng columns and job department will find him a congenial and fair-minded business man. Whle our “stay in Syracuse has been of but a few months duration, we feel that we had made many good friends and wish to thank them along with the supporters of the paper whom we have not been able to meet personally, for the co-operation ard help they have given us to pu j ’ish the paper as we have, and trust that this same cooperation will be extended to our successors.

During the final, free-for-all handicap. Friday, the two brothers wil be racing against each other. With, more than $2500 donated by Syracuse business men and summer residents about Lake Wawasee. for cash prizes for winners of the speed boat races, entries in the Second Annual Wawasee Regatta were eager this l morning to get under way in the Thursday and Friday contests. The referees of the races, A. T. Griffith, is secretary of the Mississippi Valley Power Boat Association. He is assisted by >' r. John 11. Newcombs, Imlianpol s who has been chosen as official starter, and Odis Porter. Indianapolis has been named as official timer.

This no doubt will necessitate adding more people to their force in the near future.

!THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things b.v the Editor As He Sees Them on the Surface. Tariff Hearings Close Conclusion of the tariff hearings left the protests of foreign nations and the decisive testimony of Henry Ford as the highlights of the session. An outstanding feature of the investigation seems to be that where there is trouble it comes from excessive production. Reliable estimates declare that the country’s requirements could be turned out in nine months of full operation. Industry is fixed to produce one-third more goods than there is a market for. The yearly output value is 62. UOO millions. This meant that millions more of goods night be made if plants were operated at a steady gait. Imports, including necessary raw materials, do nut represent onefifth of this sum. Henry Ford asserted that it vquld be cheaper and cost the consumer less monpy if all industries were subsidized in cash. Senator Borah ‘inclines to the same thought. iwo remedies are apparent. .One is increased exports and the other is increased consuming nower at home by plowing back in wages a larger percentage of profits. Nearly all leading economists endorse the latter method. We have 4 millions of people living from hand to mouth on incomes averaging $11(1 per month >f they work full time. One-sid-ed prosperity cannot long exist. Men are born with a sense of equity and justice. A child understands the principles of the square deal —so does the mongrel dog. Because of this sense of justice and equity we rebelled against a tax on tea and asserted our freedom. While the petty bootlegger is punished and the rich rum runner unmolested — while the poor man is hanged and the rich killer set free—while Jry agents kill without fear of punishment—while the officials, drink beverages denied the common citizen—while we preach t>eqce and prepare for war —just so long will the people think the government a tyrant and an enemy. Some day they may again rebel and upset the apple cart. Only one thing can break up a home quicker than a designing woman and that is the painters and paperhangers. Roped and Branded A Scotchman called up the doctor in great agitation. “Come at once,” he said, “Ma wee child has swallowed a saxpence!” “How old is it?’’ asked the doetor - “1894,” replied the canny Scot. Maybe the girls don’t wear ruffles on their dresses any more because it would look too effeminate. . The burning issue among the girls nowadays is whether to bob it again or let nature take its course. A woman never gets really old until she quits worrying about whether she has her hair combed in the proper way. He killed his car on the crossing. His eyes were wild with terror; The train bore down upon him, No runs, one hit, ope error. —B. &O.R. R. Magazine.
