JUDGE COLLINS appears to believe that no guilty forger should escape
without a suspended sentence.
that lawyer who w'as forced to disgorge fees in Judge An
derson's court will not have to pay income tax on them!
THE FEDERAL prohibition law may allow beer to be prescribed by
physicians, but it continues to be an offense to prescribe any other intoxi
cant than grain alcohol in Indiana.
THE BOARD OF WORKS has staged another farce relative to exten
sions of street car lines. Attendance was good and the audience was al
most as well satisfied as the actors.
Essential but Hard
The general upset condition of the world. not onl> mentally but
mentally, may be seen from a picture of the chaos in the cry of central
Europe for more freight equipment Any American or English firm which
will give credit may sell an unlimited amount of goods. Nothing is said,
however, of how to realize on the credit extended.
In some of those war-ridden countries the enemy carried away all
the railroad equipment on which hands could be laid. Then what was
left was used overtime and was not kept in repair and it is of little value.
So there are now grains and minerals awaiting transportation and no
equipment available.
Involuntarily the question arises, why not repair at least what is on
hands? Labor in Europe today is plentiful, and there has elapsed suffi
cient time to make or repair essential machinery.
If the determination to arise out of the ruins and devastation were
present in the minds of the people, a way would be found for the repair
of the damage.
One of the fciany obstacles to bo overcome is the mental attitude of
the people in general. Some have been told and believe that a change
of government will cure all evils. The Bolshevist propaganda is present
there as in America. Others who have undergone a desperate war strain
cannot get back to normal, while still more let down all responsibility;
surrendered to the military domination and have not yet “found them
selves.”
The effects of strife are long-reaching and very insidious. War is
unnatural, or if fighting is natural, it is not the order of society from
which the good to the greatest number comes. This has always been evi
dent and Europe is but reaping what it has sown.
* The condition in America is to a small degree similar. However, the
American is more of a thinker than the average European and he did not
get as far from his bearings as did the Europeans, particularly the ones
who did the work with their hands.
It is essential to work back to normal, but it is a long and hard road
after so much war.
X-Ray Possibilities
Because of the discovery of a quick method of taking X-ray snap
shots whereby the plate is twenty-five times more rapid than anything
heretofore known, Paris scientists assert that everything in surgery will j
be revolutionized. Heretofore, it sometimes required an expert to read
an X-ray picture, as the motions of the heart and other parts of the body 1
during the process of taking, left only a blurred image. Now this will be
eliminated.
Advancements beyond the dreams of the Arabian Nights have been
accomplished already in the use of the X-ray, and it seems that this was j
all in the infancy of the art. First came the startling announcement of:
the possibility of photographing the interior of an opaque body, then the j
surgical -use was announced, and now the discovery' of a more rapid and
practical method is announced to make the industrial application quite
common.
This discovery will make possible the photographing of flaws In cast
ings of machinery and motors; it will also make medical diagnosis of
internal disorders almost an exact science. In other words, the experts
can see through the subject In a flash. All of this will contribute to the
well being of society in general and those who need It in particular.
The question arises whether or not the X-ray snapshot will be welcome
by the bootlegger who carries his wares about on his person, or whether
it will be used by the footpad to discover if the prospective victim really
has anything worth taking. Some law should be enacted forbidding the
pointing of a camera at one, whether it is loaded or not.
It is not announced by the scientists who made this discovery what
can be done photographing the brain. Assuming that all men have brains,
possibly it may be determined by an X-ray to what extent, if at all, some j
use them and whether they are asleep or awake on a job. Possibly a
rapid thinker could give proof of his ability by showing the action on a
plate or movie screen, or some specialist could show brain action in the
bump on his head, where such action is required, and thus demonstrate
his ability in advance. There are wonderful possibilities in this art.
Impractical Windows
Certainly the greatest efficiency, to say nothing of common sense, has
not yet been uniformly attained in the planning and use of the ordinary
windows of the average American house. Half of the value is lost in the
upright construction, for only about half of the window is used and the
rest is kept curtained and exposed on the outside to the elements.
It is safe to venture that not one window in ten is ever lowered from
the top, while ninety-nine out of a hundred are covered with the "blind”
so as to exclude the light The upper half is useless. On the other hand,
glass will retard the passage of different temperature only about one
-1 third, so the unused half of the window Is constantly wasting heat in win
ter and Inviting heat in summer.
* All this could be obviated by study of the way European builders have
met this problem. The windows are on side hinges, the frames are not
large and when air or sunlight is wanted, the entire benefit of the open
ing is utilized. Jf the house Is to be built of glass, and that is the most
popular manner, then fix each window so it can be swung entirely open
and shut, so it will admit a required maximum of light and a minimum of
exposure to temperature changes.
This might do away with the curtain on rollers, though that change
would not be necessary. If it did, the side curtains of softer hues would
reaHy be an improvement. It is said that in building houses the second
can always be constructed better gud more reasonably. Why not include
a change in the windows, for the sake of variety, and watch the result?
Or at least inquire into the waste from long, impractical windows?

Riches Take Wing!
This is almost an article on life insurance, though it is no invitation
for any agent to camp near, nor need any start a mailing list on account
of it. When Henry C. Frick, the Pittsburgh multimillionaire steel manu
facturer died, he left, by his will, certain legacies and the balance of the
estate was to go to Princeton University.
The gift to the school was a magnificent one—still is such—but the
moral lies in the amount the school will receive. Instead of $15,000,000,
it will not get over $6,000,000. Under the law the special bequests must be
paid in full, then what is left goes to the university.
Mr. Frick died some years ago, leaving an estate in industrial securities.
His fortune was very large. At this time, however, the value of the se
curities has shrunk about half, and as the bequests are being paid, it cuts
down the remainder desperately. Os course, $6,000,000 is a wonderful
gift to any school, but the figures of two and one-half times this would
make it that much more acceptable, especially as the donor intended to
give that amount.
It must be admitted, as the life insurance seller says, by way of a
final clincher to all his arguments, tlat after death riches soon take wings.
Had the rich magnate left a policy of life insurance to the school, it
would, beyond doubt, have received the full sum In good dollars, of stand
ard value. That is one port of a man’s estate and perhaps the only part,
which does not shrink when he is gone, be the owner rich, Frick, ot

STATE HEALTH
\ BOARD IS SUED
Manufacturer of Devices Asks
$50,000 Damages.
Damages of $50,000 were asked today in
a suit filed in the Marion County Circuit
Court by Clarence C. Shipp, of C. C.
Shipp & Cos., manufacturers of heating
and ventilating devices, against members
of the State board of health.
The ctse is specifically directed against
John N. Hurty, secretary of the State
board of health; William F. King, as
sistant eecretary, and the following mem
bers : Frederick R. Hensbaw, Charles
B. Kern, John H. Hewitt aud Hugh A.
Cowing.
The plaintiff claims that the State
board of health "wrongfully and un
lawfully pretending and asserting to act"
pursuant to an act of the Legislature,
adopted certain rules concerning heating
and ventilating schoolhouses.
Jt is alleged in the complaint that un
der the rules of the board, public of
ficers and architects are required to "dt
close and to submit in advance’’ to the
board all recommendations and propo
sals, plans and specifications in respect to
heating and ventilation. The plaintiff
claims that the board, by such knowl
edge, “nnlawfnlly ben <irwi evnii,d from
the plans and specifications any and all
patented articles wuicii arc sum unu man
ufactured by the plaintiff.”
Sblpp claims that the board furnishes
his rival firms with letters and data
which are denied him.
In addititon to asking for $50,000 dam
ages, Mr. Shipp asks that the court set
aside the orders of the State board of
health and that a restraining order be
issued preventing the defendants from
carrying out the alleged order which re
sults in discrimination against the plain
tiff.
Attorney W. F. Rooker filed the suit
for the plaintiff. The complaint numbers
twenty-seven pages.
