IF THE STREETTS of New York are as full of chuckholes as those In
Indianapolis th* policemen who are giving expert mechanical advice to
automobilists are having a busy time.
COMMISSIONER HAYES' PLAN for a chain of county parks served
again to call attention to the waste that results from the dual government
of Indianapolis through separate city and county administrations.
THAT SUPPLEMENTAL GAS CONTRACT appears to be nothing
more than a legalization of the methods heretofore pursued by the gas
company. It neither insures more gas nor the quality of the gas for
this winter.
THE INDUSTRY with which the State board of accounts is uncovering
shortages among county officials charged with safeguarding the people's
money looks as if it is searching for candidate timber for state office in
the next election.
A Period of Change
The American people are undergoing many changes in thought and
one of the great changes now occurring is the introduction of an economy
which permits the doing without many things heretofore thought essential.
In other words, from the period when supplies and when many material
things were laid in for future use, the American people have gotten to a
place where they live largely from hand to mouth. It is true a few of the
older residents carry large supplies and have many conveniences, but
that is almost in a generation past.
There has been an evolution from the old-fashioned medicine supply
of the grandmother to a drug store on every corner; from the laying in
of much canned fruit by the individual to the immense canning factories;
from the having of special facilities to the hiring of a person of special
skill, like the window cleaners and polishers of hardwood floors and Indeed
the caterers, now established institutions.
The old-fashioned woman who rejoiced in her possession of so much
table linen and so many hand sewed supplies for her house is compara
tively rare today because her efforts are more valuable and her time is
more In demand and the other essentials can be supplied by experts. Be
sides, her flat is small. Thus we have swung from one extreme to the
other and until prices are very low again, the great American people will
continue to learn to do without.
Helping Europe
It is noted that in the program of reconstruction since the war, the
American cow has been very useful. Not only has her milk been evaporated
and transported and sold for the purpose of nourishing the children of
Europe, but now the cow is being taken by the ship load over to Germany
and indeed to all Europe to replace the stocks which were exhausted dur
ing the war.
It is a known fact that the fat conveyed to Infants in cows’ milk is es
sential to the life of the infant and at the same time there is no way of
feeding it equal to the use of milk. Then, of course, the beef and the hide
are always useful.
If the waste of war and Its desperate effects In their multitudinous
manifestations could only have been known to Europe or to Germany in
particular, the war never would have started, but after it is over we And
that we must help Europe in every regard.
She needs moral help, she needs financial help, she needs cattle. Those
countries which sent us every breed of cattle are now delighted to have
in return such as we can spare to them and possibly in years to come
the development over In Europe will be such that again we will want to
import cattle. The same is equally true of horses.
America indirectly suffers from the war by reason of the fact that
all of our supplies which Europe can possibly afford to procure are in
such demand that really we are suffering at home. How long this will con
tinue no one can tell. The fact, however, that the milk of the cattle will
be used to nourish children who are in now ways accountable for this war
and who are in desperate need soy this nourishment alleviates any com
plaint in that regard from America,
On Stockings
The affairs of the world have' now approached such a state that it
appeals to the conservative person that something may be said of stockings.
The subjects are open to such review and such demonstration since the
war that it is not amiss nor indeed is it immodest to comment upon them.
If they are not exposed for comment In this latter day and age, for what
are they presented to the public and why is it that ladies* skirts contin
ually grow shorter and thereby do present this subject?
It can now safely be said as a fact that there are three kinds of stock
ings, straight, carrot shaped, and a comblnatioon of the two. The propor
tion of each cannot be given at the undeveloped state of permanency In
the length of wearing apparel. Neither can it be stated whether the stock
ings shall expose the knee or not, but it is probable upon the advent of
warmer weather that this will also be a matter of observation, in the
fashionable set at least.
To the layman who is old-fashioned enough to regard the skirts as a
protection against weather it is Just a trifle difficult to reconcile the awful
exposures that occur; but men have been wrong many times in their
ideas of women and have often utterly failed to understand the gentler sex.
There is, however, another matter that should be regulated in some
manner. Possibly some different styles of stockings or different color or
borne different way of wearing them should be invented and worn by
older persons, for it is a shock to see an old lady who is a grandmother
rivaling some handsome young lady In the matter of dress, and particularly
it is a shock to the younger generation who from their viewpoint do not
see the face and do not know whom they are admiring
There is a point to which prudence should carry on this uplift move
ment in skirts, but that should be determined by fashion experts and not by
any mere man.
Foolishness
Tourists who have had occasion to pass through Indiana in the last
year and observe the road work which is being done by the State high
way commission must be impressed with the peculiarities that mark its
progress.
For example, between Seymour and Columbus there is a stretch of
cement concrete highway, recently opened. It begins several miles from
Seymour and ends several miles from nowhere. It is a great help to the
traveler and it is a wonderful road, by comparison.
From the end of this cement road to the liver, which must be crossed
before entering Seymour, is a swamp. Through this lowland there is a
stretch of highway most difficult to maintain. At all seasons it is wet
and in the wet season it is almost impassable. Eventually, this stretch
of road will have to be paved. The traveler cannot help wondering why
the highway engineers, in their infinite wisdom, did not select it for the
first unit of the connecting road between Seymour and Columbus.
With a hard surfaced road through this swamp land the traveling
time between the two cities could be materially reduced. As it is all the
time saved by reason of the hard surface where a gravel road could easily
have been maintained, is lost in traversing the swamp land where it is
almost impossible to maintain a gravel road.
Perhaps the fact that few houses abut the swamp road and several the
part of the highway that is paved accounts for the selection.
Eventually, of course, the whole road will be paved. But in the
meanwhile the foolishness of paving the better stretches and ignoring the
worse is the most noticeable thing about the whole enterprise.
Where Is the Coal?
The State fuel control commission announces that coal is being sold
at greatly reduced prices outside of Indianapolis, yet the newspapers are
full of plaintive appeals from municipalities for relief from the fuel famine.
Huntington, for example, the commission said, is one of the places
where coal Is being sold cheaply. At the time of this pronouncement, how
ever, the commission had on file a request from the civic and industrial
bodies of that city demanding ten car loads of fuel at once.
In the face of continued colder weather it is doubtful if the public is
so much concerned in announcements of price cutting activity as it is in
getting the actual fuel.
Where Families Disagree
In-the old days, when father and son came to the polls and father had
always been a Democrat or Republican, it was known there were two
votes for that party. But when the women got the vote mother’s opin
ions differed from father’s, as generally is the case on any question, son
and daughter were left in a bad fix, not knowing which to follow. Asa
rule they “ducked” father and tried to get pointers on whom to vote
for from outsiders.
A man was telling the story of his experience with his family this year.
There are five in the family. His son used to vote with him, but when
the wife and daughters got the vote they said dad had been so
many times before, and they didn’t believe he knew much about what
was the best thing for the country anyway, so they would decide for
themselves and would not vote with father, although not a single one
of them whs capable of making a living for themselves. At the break
fast table on election day they were discussing the Issues, advancing
different opinions and telling how they were going to split the tickets,
when father remarked there was one ticket they would be sure to
vote straight. All demanded to know what ticket he referred to. He
said it was the meal ticket. Then they all left the table and he finished
breakfast in silence-—W. D. Boyce in the Saturday Blade, Chicago.
HOROSCOPE
“The star* incline, but do not come*:”
THURSDAY. NOV. 18.
This is not a favorable day, according
to astrology. Mercury rules strongly for
evil and the Sun Is adverse.
The evening Is a roost unpropltious
time to associate with superiors who msy
have It in their power to bestow favors.
It is particularly unlucky for those who
seek appointments to political office.
Again startling new discoveries are
foreshadowed. The power of spiritual
forces will be demonstrated In a sclentiflc
way.
Progress that Is exceedingly rapid Is
forecast for all that pertains to national
development. • Education will benefit
greatly.
Persons whose blrthdate It is may have
rather an eventful year. They should
be careful about contracts or leases.
Children born on this day should b#
carefully trained In all practical lines nt
work. They are likely to be gifted but
not natural money-makers.—Copyright,

plays written for amateurs; he re
ceived more mail than J. P. Morgan or
many‘other famous inen; he did nil his
work in a bod of pain, and yet he was
the most cheerful man In all New York.
Mr. Douglas came to this country In
ISSB from England, where he was a
moderately successful actor. He passed
through the various theatrical vicissi
tudes arid finally found himself playing
the role of a villain In a melodrama.
This particular villain had to make a
heavy fall In his death scene and it was
not long before Mr Douglass began to
