Hoosier News Briefly Told lim— Frankfort. —The state highway police war against motorists who use the Jackson highway for a race course has begun. N. A. Gibson of Illinois and H. H. Miller of Indianapolis were arrested by William F. Kussmaul, motorcycle policeman. They were taken, before N. W. Cosner, justice of the peace, and each was fined $8.75. The placing of a state motor policeman on the highway near Antioch Is the result of efforts of Howard Cann of Frankfort, who recently took the natter up with state authorities. Antioch residents complained that the lives of motorists and pedestrians alike are menaced by reckless driving. Wabash. —Mahoney & Stepp, contractors on the J. L. Sutton road in Liber- 1 ty township, filed a bond with the county auditor and appealed the claim for final payment for work on the road to the Wabash Circuit court. The firm alleges that the work on the road has been completed, but that local officials refuse to accept it or make payment. A report from an examiner from the state board of accounts sets out that part of the material used on the road does not meet the specifications. It was after this report was filed that the county commissioners refused to accept the work. Terre Haute. —Charles M. Lee, county auditor, received notice from the state noard of tax commissioners directing him to revise the assessment rolls of townships in Vigo county In compliance with the recent order of the board increasing the valuations on certain items.

250,000 JAPS DIE IN OOIKE, TIDAL WAVE AND FIRE Bodies of Victims Fill Streets and Parks of Yokohama. SEA SWALLOWS UP ISLANDS Shanghai Reports New Earthquakes in Nippon — Martial Law Is Established as Capital City Burns— Looters Are Shot—Naval Bases Are Destroyed. Osuka, Japan, Sept. 4. —The dead in She earthquake and fire in Japan num>er at least 250,000, according to latest istimates. The fatalities in Tokyo alone are 150,01*0, according to an estimate by Jie minister oi marine. From Yokolama comes the report that there are note than 100,000 casualties there. In addition there has been an enormous lumber of deaths in the other cities vithin the affected area. The number of casualties was greaty increased by a new earthquake, oc- ' :urring at 7 o’clock Sunday evening. Iccording to a correspondent of the Osaka Mainichi, who has arrived here from Tokyo, the first shock occurred at noon Saturday. Ten others followed Ji rapid order. 200,000 Houses Destroyed. The correspondent declares that at least 20U.0UU houses in the capital were destroyed by fire. Not a dwelling escaped either complete or partial damage, he said. The capital was still flaming as the correspondent flew to Osaka. Keiji university at Tokyo, the higher technical school; the Kurnamae women’s higher normal school, and the first high school have been burned. Yotsuya, a ward of Tokyo east of the Imperial palace, was burning at flve o’clock yesterday afternoon, no further advices thence having reached the radio station. The island of Oshima, sixty miles southwest of Tokyo, and which had an active voicaniq cone, is reported to have sunk beneath the sea, observers having been unable to see anything in Its direction but water. Palace Burned to Ashes. The Takanawa palace has been reduced to ashes. Fire which bad spread from the central section of Tokyo to the Aoyama district still was burning Tuesday morning. The government has established a relief office for earthquake sufferers in Tokyo, and troops are marching into the capital from many directions. Buildings reported destroyed, beside those listed in earlier dispatches, include the patent office, the building occupied by the board of audit, the Chinese legation, Nicolai temple, the residence of Prince Shimazu Arisugwa, the temples of Tsukiji and Asakusa, the latter said to have been founded about 6UO A. D. Six hundred thousand “koku” of rice, nearly 3,000,000 bushels, are being sent from Osaka to Yokohama for relief work. The transport is being accomplished on two naval vessels. Many injured and homeless Europeans were taken aboard the passenger steamer Dongola at Yokohama today, a message from the Tamioka wireless station said. According to the Osaka Mainichi. the calamity topples Japan from her place as fourth power of the world. The paper points out that the largest firms are bankrupt; that industrial interests are ruined; that banks and insurance companies probably have been made penniless. Reduced to Minor Power. The country has no financial reserve and consequently is reduced to a minor power, according to the Mainichi. The wealth gained and elaborately organized by the new Japan in the last generation is no more, the newspaper declares. The airplane correspondent said thht 600 workers were killed in the collapse of the huge factories of the Nibondenski electrical works. Hundreds were injured when the government printing office collapsed. The Specie bank and the Grand hotel in Yokohama have been demolished. Especially serious is the damage to buildings in the foreign settlement, Yokohama reports say. The bodies o’ the Yokohama dead are scattered in the streets, according t to an officer of the steamship London i Maru, who landed in the city. He de- i dared that the public park was filled 1 with tens of thousands of refugees. । Almost all of Toklo is in ruins. The j districts saved are the Ushirome ward, ' the north side of Asyamaderi ward, . nearly al) of Yetsuya ward and part of Koishiguwa ward. The tidal wave flooded Fukagara ward. Plans are being considered to transfer the capital to Osaka or Kyoto • because of the vast damage in Tokyo. I Martial Law Established. Martial law has been established in an order of Acting Premier Uchida. The premier also established a relief bureau and put the emergency commandeering act in effect. The populations of Tokyo and Yokohama are on the verge of starvation. Efforts are being made by the hungry people to catch the carp in the pond in Hibiya park. Where Rubber Is King. A traveler can ride for seven hours by railway train, or more than 300 miles between Singapore and Penang, in the Federated Malay states, and Dot once lose sight of the rubber plantations. Sign of Disaster. Among the German peasantry, should a mother lose the heel of one of her « shoes, she takes that to be a sign that one* of her children will die before the year is uut.

Frantic efforts are being made to collect supplies to ship to the capital. At least 1,000 tons of rice are needed in Tokyo alone, according to estimates. The fire in the capital has destroyed large stocks of food. The emergency has caused the price of rice to advance. The prince regent has ordered the opening of the Imperial palaces for the use of the refugees. He is active in the relief work. Messages have been received here from the United States and other countries asking about the safety of the foreign diplomatic representatives and of foreign residents of Tokyo and Yokohama. No answer to these questions can be given at present. Osaka has been unable to obtain any information as to the safety of the foreigners. Islands Swaiowed Up. San Francisco, Sept. 4. —The island of Oshima, 60 miles southwest of Tokyo, which had an active volcanic cone, is reported to have sunk beneath the sea, observers having been unable to see anything in its direction but water. There has been no news received in Japan from the Bonin islands, on which is located a cable relay station, and it is feared, the advices declared, that the land there was submerged by the tidal wave following the trembler. The advices also confirmed earlier reports of the submergence of the island of Enoshima, “Picture island,” one of Japan's most beautiful spots. The Island, the message said, was swept away by a tidal wave, as were also Honomuku and Isoko, villages in the vicinity of Enoshima. Many Europeans, visitors and residents of that section are missing. jO.OOO Trapped in Fire. Shanghai, Sept. 4. —A dispatch from Iwaki tells in a few words oue of the Japanese tragedies. Ten thousand fugitives, fleeing the falling walls and flames of the Honjo ward of Tokyo, took refuge in a military compound. It was surrounded completely by a moat. Then came the waves of fire, burning every bridge leading to the compound. Within half an hour the 10,000 humans crowded Inside the compound were Incinerated and the island was a smoldering furnace. Not a man, woman or child escaped the holocaust. U. S. Ships Speed With Help. Washington, Sept. 4. —Six American destroyers, the destroyer tender Black Hawk and the cruiser Huron were steaming toward Yokohama bearing food and medical supplies to the sufferers in the Japanese earthquake zone. In the meantime hurried preparations were being made in Manila for two army transports to take all available supplies from army headquarters in the Philippines to the scene of the disaster. The American Red Cross swung Info action with an appropriation of sllO,. 000 for relief and an appeal for funds throughout America. The Red Cross appeal was emphasized by a communication from President Coolidge calling on Americans to contribute to the relief fund. 1,000,000 Pounds of Rice. The Black Hawk, which sailed from Chefoo on orders of Admiral Anderson, commanding the Far East fleet, who did not wait for instructions from Washington, carried 1,000,000 pounds of rice. 500,000 pounds of beans and other nonperishable food. The destroyer flotilla comprising the destroyers Stewart, Smith. Thompson. Barker, Tracy, John D. Edwards and Whipple sailed from Darien Monday and will reach Yokohama Wednesday. Some of these boats may go directly to Tokyo, on the inland Sea of Japan, as rail communication between Yokohama and Tokyo has been destroyed, it is understood. Coolidge Pleads for Aid. President Calvin Coolidge Monday afternoon issued the following proclamation to the American people: “To the People of the United States: “An overwhelming disaster has overtaken the people of the friendly nation of Japan. While its extent has not yet been officially reported, enough is known to justify the statement that the cities of Tokyo and Yokohama and surrounding towns and villages have been largely If not completely destroyed by earthquake, fire and flood, with a resultant appalling loss of life and destitution and distress, requiring measures of urgent relief. “Such assistance as is within the means of the executive department of the government will be rendered; but. realizing the great suffering which now needs relief and will need relief for days to come, I am prompted to appeal urgently to the American people, whose sympathies have always been so comprehensive, to contribute in aiding the unfortunate and in giving relief to the people of Japan. “In order that the utmost co-ordina-tion and effectiveness in the administration of relief funds can be obtained, I recommend that all contributions. i clearly designated, be sent to the chairman of the American Internationa] I Red Cross at Washington or to any of ! the local Red Cross chapters for transmission to Japan.” Image Made From Human Bones. A new image of Buddha made entirely of human bones, is soon to be dedicated at Joheranji temple in Tukagawa, Japan. These bones are from the bodies of more than 2,600 persons who died during the past ten years and were stored in the temple’s charnel house. Bronze Very Old. Bronze is very old, but brass was unknown to the ancients. An ingredient of brass is zinc, which is one of the few metals extracted from the ore by distillation, and it has been available for only about a century. Chance for a Bachelor.

|> A Wedding Gift i By MARTHA WILLIAMS if <©, 1823, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) “Oh. de Shanghai chicken he slewed so high Couldn t git er quarter ’tween his back an’ de sky! (Case why? Didn’t hab de quarter)!” This is h a lay caroled by Thomas Mcßean Grady as he leaped the party wall separating his home domain from that of the Elmores. He was in away a child of the house there—the Elniores being childless, yet avidly fond of youth. It was the youth irrepressible of Thomas Mcßean that h J made captives of them in his very first day at Elmholt. With all the nice college slang and songs and things, said Madame Elmore, he was just the sort she had hoped and dreamed Little Gustavus might be. At that she had sighed tenderly, her husband the while looking far above her head. Little Gustavus, the child of their hopeful fancy who had never existed, was real to both as though they had nurtured him to manhood. "Sing on. Tommy, I like that Shanghai chicken," rnadame entreated, after a quick look behind her. “And then sing something Irish. I'm musichungry today." "She shan’t be—bless her heart!” Thomas Mcßean half chanted, dropping the ghost of a kiss upon her still smooth brow. But instantly he started upright. Stooping, he had seen, in the window behind a girl's face of merry mischief, laughing of eye, with a mutinous, small mouth and the dearest of all chins. He looked reproachfully down at madume, saying loftily: “So you’ve broken sanctuary. Here at least I felt safe from snares and pitfalls, ; all the hidden perils that lurk in the path of Innocent youth.” “Oh, pshaw! Why did you turn. Peeping Tom? I wanted Wleve to hear you before you saw her—so she’d 1 know the love you're so good at sing- j Ing had nothing persona) about It." ! "How do you know?” Thomas McBenn demanded. “Who gave you leave to think, to say, I’m not the victim of hopeless passion?” “I did! Me, myself!” Mr. Elmore called from within. Then, advancing through tne door: "It stands to reason a boy with so much love In his thront can't have any left in his heart.” "Get thee behind me. Pap Elmore!" Thomas Mcßean Intoned. Madame chuckled, calling over her shoulder; “Come out, ’Vleve! Tommy Is a gentle lunatic, warranted harmless." "That Is, If not crossed," Thomas Mcßean supplemented, striding toward 'Vleve, taking both her hands and staring down *ntc her eyes n long, silent minute. Dropping the hands, he murmured as though to himself: "The ■ substance of my dreams! Say. oh. say, I when* do you come from?" “Ah, ha! I knew she’d take your breath," Madame Elmore erh-d In delight. "Where she comes from doesn’t I matter; nor her name, nor anything; ?xcept that she Is here." "I will not be a mystery," ’Vleve i cried. "1 am very material ; an every- I day, workaday working girl; a little , reduced in circumstances to be sure, ’ but ready and willing to prove my worth as a maid. Which these good people won't let me be, no more than they will let me be Sarah Lou Kelley. Here 1 am Genevieve Deforest, for life or good behavior. Don’t you tell anybody else. I tell you only because I know you're In the family." "Does it happen that you know NewOrleans?” Thomas Mcßean asked. The girl nodded. "1 was born there,” she said. “1 wish I had grown up in a world so quaintly beautiful." “You see. we took her back to a convent school there after we found her," Mme. Elmore explained. "That is how you have not seen nor heard of her. We wanted you two to meet wholly without prejudice." “I am the soul of unprejudice,” Thomas Mcßean commented. Madame smiled. "But your people! Oh, they simply bristle with them. Think of them spending so much money to trace descent from Irish kings and finding themselves cheek by jowl with the prettiest girl in the world who hasn't a single ancestor.” “What a lovely jolt they would have!” Thomas M< Bean ejaculated. Mr. Elmore broke in seriously: "Nothing wrong about our girl. Tommy —her father wits lost at sea in a great storm coming over, her mother died when she was born —so the good sisters took care of her She was adopted before she could walk by wealthy people, who gave her their name and no doubt loved her dearly. They were killed in an auto wreck before they had made more than the scantiest provision for our girl. Then coming fourteen she went in a shop—cash girl. It was there we found and rescued her. We told nobody—changed her name, but made her our legal heir after a year. Now we shall show her to our world as a young relative. It

A VARIABLE CLIMATE IS BETTER

Uniform Temperature, Though It Has Been Called Ideal, Is by No Means So Healthful. 1 The v e Is nothing in the world more ' plentiful than air, and nothing more ■ vital to our lives, writes Floyd W. Parsons in the World’s Work, ] But remarkable as have been our . discoveries relating to the handling and use of air, such ad- ; vances as we have made will never , equal in value the benefits to us in , comfort and health that will result from the intelligent control of the , temperature and humidity of the air in which we live and breathe. Already we know that there is a ■ direct relation of the death rate and of health to the wet-bulb temperature. It has been found that fairly moist weather is more healthful than dry weather of the same temperature. It has been proved that cold waves, unless of extraordinary severity, are beneficial to health, while a rising temperature, even in the winter, is harm-

w-ill doubtless accept her for what she is—but we wanted you to know the whole truth.” “Thank you both more than w’ords can say,” Thomas Mcßean replied, not taking his eyes from ’Vieve’s face. "I hope lam worthy your trust. I shall try to be worthier before I ask you for a greater one." Thus the stage was set for a lovely Idyl of summer. Thomas Mcßean and ’Vieve played at the game of lovemaking like adepts, but somehow’ Madame Elmore was not sure there w-as anything real under all the froth and sparkle for a full month. Then, coining upon the young pair, locked in each other’s arms, with eyes that seemed to be looking straight into heaven, she was happy Indeed. Even though Tommy, suddenly coming to earth, said in lofty reproach: “Now see what you have done, fairy godmother ! Turned a poor young butterfly into a family man!’’ “Furnish the family—l’ll see It handsomely endowed,” rnadame said roguishly, though her eyes were dim. Little Gustavus seemed to hover in the midst. Her husband coming behind her laid his hands upon her shoulders and moved her gently aside so he might seize Thomas Mcßean and shake him hard, saying: “Game in spite of everything, sonny. Now, the rest Is easy." He thought he spoke truth—but the wisest may be mistaken. Next day the course of this true love ran plump on the rock of family pride. The Grady pedigree had grown into an obsession with its possessors, since by much liberal spending it had been anchored to Aird, king of Clonmel back in the year 1000, and on the way downward got itself so plated with coat armor, and enriched with newer royal crosses, it was an awesome thlAi. Thomas Mcßean, sole son of the house, needs must match with a person of descent, said his elders — though he might not hope to find one matching tits own! 'Vleve was. they admitted, utterly lovely, utterly delightful—but they had the future to 1 consider —with so many millions to I prop and shield It. that family tree ' । must flourish as though it were a green bay. Truth would be fatal —but how evade telling it? Mr. Elmore was In dej spair when his wife took the helm—oddly enough by asking down for a w<*ek-end a venerable bachelor friend whose hobby was genealogy. A fortnight later he wrote a letter that ought to have won him an ambassador's post—ln effect It ran that 'Vieve's beauty had so Impressed him he had ventured to look up her family history —and research had confirmed his suspicion tlw’ she was nearly related to the highest aristocracy English and Trish, and notably the beautiful Ladies ’ Duncome, one of whom had become Duchess of Leinster. Thus encouraged j he kept on his delving, with a result , of discovering that few American girls hnd claims to long descent. He in- ' closed h!s r<>ugh notes —allying her tn | eminent families, either through cadet branches or main lines unhappily now ' extinct. She was not to know any- ' 1 thing about it —but his wedding pres- I I ent would he the full pedigree, with , crest and lozenges—albeit as a good I I American lie held such things far from vital ; there was a certain satis- I ' faction in owning them.

Embarrassing Question. He had an invariable way of asking the wrong question or making the wrong comment. At a dinner party, his neighbor, a pretty girl, said to him: “I think, Mr. Smith, that men’s clothes should ; match their hair: a black-haired man ; should wear black clothes and a brown-haired man should wear brown clothes. Don't you think so?" “That may be," bungled Smith; "but suppose a man is bald?” Elephant More Intelligent Than Dog. Some idea of an elephant's capac- ' ities may be reached by comparing I him with the dog, with whose intelli- } gence we are familiar. Making allow- | ance for the dog’s “opportunities” under man's training, science has come to doubt whether the most exception- ! ally intelligent dog possesses compre- | hensive faculties equal to those of the j adult wild elephant fresh from the jungle.

ful. In making this statement, the investigator carefully distinguishes between a drop in temperature and the continuance of low temperature. Then there is the further fact that a variable climate is in general much j more healthful than a uniform climate, even though the latter has an almost ideal temperature. With such truths before us, and in the light of the fact that we can manufacture Indoors practically any kind of weather we desire, at a moderate cost, it would seem that we have a solid basis on which to develop an intelligent ventilation practice that will make us happier, longer-lived, and more prosperous. It’s Much Better to Go Away. If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. —Solomon. Why is an unmarried woman only thirty on her fortieth birthday?

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ <By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©, 1923. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 16 LUKE, THE BELOVED PHYSICIAN LESSON TEXT—Luke 1:1-4; Acts 1: 1; Acts 16:9-15; Col. 4:14; II Tim. 4:11. GOLDEN TEXT—“A friend loveth at all times and a brother Is born for adversity.”—Prov. 17:17. PRIMARY TOPIC —Luke’s Story of the Great Physician. JUNIOR TOPIC—Luke. Paul's Friend. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How Luke Helped Paul. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Luke's Contribution to Christianity. I. Luke the Historian (Luke 1:15; cf. Acts 1:1). Luke was a writer of great distinction. His style is clear and picturesque. The pieces of writing left us are the Gospel of Luke and the Acts. According to Acts 1:1, the gospel was written to set down in order the things which Jesus began to do and to teach, and Acts 1:3 to show what the risen and ascended Lord was continuing to do and to teach. While here on earth He only began to do and to show certain things, but from His place of glorious exaltation. He is continuing His mighty work by the Holy Spirit through the disciples. Concerning the contents of the gospel, he asserts first, that the source of his information was recorded statements of eye witnesses. He assures us that these statements have been verified by him. Second, that he had made a systematic statement of these facts in order to strengthen the faith of his friend, Theophilus. 11. Luke the Beloved Physician I (Col. 4:14). He evi<h*ntly was a skilled physician ns his descriptions of the diseases which Jesus cured shows. His description of the symptoms of the diseases shows his capability. It was left to the physician to portray with vivid exactness the virgin birth by means of which the Eternal Son became Incarnate. He was not only skillful but tenderly sympathetic. This sympathy Is shown in his portrayal of the Great Physician in His compassion for the poor, helpless and suffering people. What untold good a skillful and sympathetic Christian physician can do! No one gets so closely Into touch with human life as a doctor. 111. Luke the Companion of Paul (Acts 16:9-15). 1. Paul's Need of a Physician. There Is dear evidence that Paul had some physical ailment which made the serv- ' ice of a skillful physician most desir- ; able. When the call came to go to Europe with the gospel, Luke joined Paul and became one of his most helpful companions. This is one example of what a faithful Christian physician can do. 2. Luke’s Fidelity. “Only Luke is with me.” He was no mere faraway friend. He stood by Paul in storm and calm. Paul was now in the cold jail awaiting execution. What a great comfort it must have been to know that this faithful physician was with him. He was with him at Philippi, Miletus, Jerusalem, Caesarea, before Felix and Festus, on the voyage to Rome, with him in the Roman jail, through the Roman trial, and perhaps a spectator of his execution. It cost Luke a great deal to do this, but he no doubt considered it a labor of love, even feeling the call of God as really as Paul. Nothing is known of Luke after Paul's death. Tradition has some interesting things to say, but no word of certainty. The World. No scene is continually and untiringly loved, but one rich by joyful human labor; smooth in field; fair in garden; full in orchard; trim, sweet, and frequent in homestead; ringing with voices of vivid existence. No air Is sweet that is silent; it Is only ! sweet when full of low currents of ; । under sound —triplets of birds, and i murmur and chirp of insects, and deep-toned words of men, and wayi ward trebles of childhood. As the art of life is learned, it will be found at last that all lovely things are also ; necessary—the wild flower by the way--1 side, as well as the tended corn; and the wild birds and creatures of the : forest, as well as the tended cattle; ; because man doth not live by bread | only, but also by the desert manna; ■ by every wondrous word and unknowable work of God. Happpy, in that j he knew them not, nor did his fathers I know; and that round about him reaches yet into the infinite, the amazement of his existence. —Ruskin. Courage. Fear God, a»d take your own part. ■ There’s Bible Li that, young man; see how Moses feared God, and how he ; I took bis own part against everybody ; who meddled with him. And see how David feared God, and took his own part. ... So fear God, young man, and nev-ar give In ’ The world can bully, and is fond, provided it sees a man in a kind of difficulty, of getting about him, calling him coarse I names, and even going so far as to , hustle him; but the world, like all bullies, carries a white feather in its tail, and no sooner sees the man taking off his coat, and offering to fight its best, than it scatters here and there, and is always civil to him afterwards. —Borrow. Permeates Whole World. We are enjoined to see whatever there is in the world as being enveloped in God. I bow to God over and over again. Who is in fire and in Water, Who is in the annual crops us Well as in the perennial trees. —Togore. Value of True Religion. While just government protects all In their religious rites, true religion affords government its surest support —Washington.

Queensland is leading the way thoroughly apd well In this matter. Expert and “official opinion holds that a large portion of Western Australia is as suitable for cotton production as Queensland. Queensland is setting the pace. Last year 7,000 acres were under crop; this year the area is estimated between 80.000 and 100,000 acres. In two of its subtropical districts 3.000,000 acres are being opened up under the cotton prospects and 200,000 acres in another. The government 4s guaranteeing a minimum price of 5%d (11 cents) per pound for seed cotton. If cultivation responds the guarantee holds good for three years.
