Tell us about Pogue’s Run.
It takes its name from Ge?tge Pogue, one of the first two settlers.
His cabin was built on its banks. This beautiful little stream wan
ders from the country into the northeast part of the city and adds
charm to Brookside park, Spades park and Arsenal Technical High
school grounds. Entering the congested district after crossing Mich
igan street, it loses its country freshness, and begins to look ugly and
unkempt. To overcome its persistent habit of overflowing its banks
frequently during wet seasons. It has been confined in a double-celled
concrete and steel storm sewer.
Where Is the aqueduct and for what purpose was It con
structed?
The aqueduct carries the water of the canal over Fall creek. It is
located northwest of the city and Is maintained by the Indianapolis
Water Company.
How does the Y. W. C, A. help her girls educationally?
The educational department provides every year approximately thir
tv-two classes In twenty different subjects. Some of the most interest
ing results are obtained from the high school courses for credit by
means of which a girl who is working may complete her high school
work, preparatory to entering college. From twenty to twenty-five
courses in Bible study are given each year.

purposes and to restrain the half-civilized
countries, the other pressures of the
league would be final, although it Is my
belief they are in the end effective even
against aggressively armed states.
“The first and foremost duty flf the
league Is, therefore, the reduction of an
armament that is now on a greater scale
than in 1914.”
Hoover suggested that a time limit be
placed upon this disarmament and that
the United States should provide that
continuation of its membership in the
league should be based on success of
this effort.
He said this country could well afford
to loan money to Europe If It saved the
taxes necessary for maintenance of huge
naval and military programs
Hoover said it was not generally real
ized that the treaty Is now in effect and
can not he scrapped.
“Europe has regretted, but it has not
waited upon the divided mind of the
United States,” he said.
"It Is the guarantee of the disarma
ment of four great autocracies, and no
European nation Is going to risk their
revival.”
COVENANT ESSENTIAL
PART OF TREATY.
Hoover said the covenant was an es
sential part of the treaty.
“There is, therefore, a primary fact:
That all talk of making anew treaty Is
bunk; to revise the functions of the
league In the prevention of war Is pos
slhle.
“Therefore, my suggestions are:
“First, that it is worth considt - atlon
by the present members of the league
whether immediate revision of the parts
mentioned should not be undertaken in
