Hog Detectives
One thrills with pleasure when the march of science is observed. Two
facts recently given out appeal strongly to the layman. The first is the
prediction that within a few years individual stills to produce fuel for
their operation will be attached to automobiles. This is by Thomas A.
Edison. Jr., while the second fact comes from Florida.
It is not that anew bug from the tropics, named the xylostodoris
luteblus is found, nor that William Jennings Bryan goes to the State of
balmy winter to reside, but in that locality the usefulness of the pig in
locating moonshine stills has been demonstrated and made practical.
The process Is simple and the wonder is that the enterprising northern
police did not adopt the method long before this, in the enforcement of
prohibition.
It is now learned that a still is any arrangement where fumes are
.condensed, whether it be on an automobile or in a cellar. It Is further
{Observed that a hog, razorback or broadback. will smell the fumes and, if
hungry, go to them, wherever located. They arise frdm the mash of
corn, the hog likes the coni, hence the hurry to find it.
There may be some confusion in the future. If anew propelling
liquid is to be distilled—the gas being all exhausted, and if the hog.
which is bound to become popular as an adjunct to the machinery of
law enforcement, be it police department or Government prohibition
officers should, by error of Judgment or mistake of hunger, get the smells
crossed and pursue an honest and respectable automobile, which is quietly
distilling fuel, great embarrassment might result.
On the other hand no citizen wants a Government prohibition agent,
who is really looking for moonshine or home brew, to parade up and
down the city with a hungry and possibly squealing hog, to the disturbance
of the quiet hours of night and the invasion of fashionable neighborhoods
from which pork, excepting in the form of chops, has long since been
taboo, all in quest of mash and moonshine.
A race between some automobile in the' habit of distilling its own
fuel, and properly functioning, according to the prediction of Edison, Jr.,
and a police pig, accompanied by the prohibition officer, on a mistaken
scent, up the village street or around the Monument Circle would humiliate
and almost ruin a municipality of any However, science leads
to strange reforms.
Party Chairmen
It would appear that the dissatisfaction of the victorious wing of
the Republican party with Chairman Lemaux is only equaled by the
dissatisfaction of a majority of the Democratic party with Chairman
Meeker.
This serves to recall that in the primaries the two chairmen were
unusually friendly, taking lunch together at the Columbia Club and being
in close touch through certain friends.
_ Neither, however, succeeded in fulfilling a mutual desire as t.o the
nominee for mayor and it now appears that the intensity of that desire
was bo completely expressed that it has left a very bac taste with a
considerable part of both the old parties.
Under the election laws of Indiana the chairman of a political party
appears to occupy a dual role. In the primaries he is pref umed to be a
sort of a referee over a contest between candidates. In tha actual cam
paign he is presumed to become the manager of a successful candidate.
The dual role has proved to be no much for either of the present chair
men. In fact, the performance of the first role proved too great a task
for either chairman.
Mr. Lemaux's dissatisfaction with the nominee of his party disqualified
him from action as the political manager of Mr. Shank. Meekers bi
partisan activities disqualified him from acting as the chairman of his
organization.
Under these circumstances it is folly to accept the theory that neither
may be relieved of his duties. It certainly was never intended by the
lawmakers of Indiana that a political pa. Ly should be handicapped by a
disqualified chairman. There my be no specific method prescribed for
the removal of a chairman, but in its absence common sense would dictate
a proper course.
Both the political organizations consist of precinct and ward com
mitteemen, presided over by a chairman. No one has ever questioned
the right of a chairman to remove, for cause, a committeeman, and such
removals have not been infrequent. Why, then, should any one question
the right of the organization, as a whole, to remove its chairman for
cause?
The Real Fight
Before the campaign for the election of school commissioners gets j
under way it might be well for the voters of Indianapolis to realize that
no matter how much effort is made so to discribe it, the campaign cannot |
become a fight either for the reinstatement of George C. Hitt as business j
manager, or for the abrogation of the several contracts between the
school board and L. A. Snider.
Mr. Hitt has severed his connections with the city schools and the
time will never come when he will be invited to resume them.
The contracts with Mr. Snider are now subject to scrutiny by the
courts and their legality will be determined regardless of the election.
The real question of the school election is solely whether the school
system will be brought up to a standard commensurate with the require
ments of the city or whether it will be allowed to etrograde, as it did
during the incumbency of Mr. Hitt and the control of fiis ever faithful
newspaper friends.
The majority of the school board is seeking re-election in order that
it may carry on the program of rehabilitation of the school system, which
it courageously started in the face of powerful opposition and fo* which
it has undergone, and doubtless will continue to undergo, a considerable
tirade of abuse and misrepresentation from a rather dubious source.
There may be other candidates for the school board whose intent/ons
are equally as good as those of this majority; but Mrs. Tutewiler fir.
Gadd and Mr. Crippin have been tried out and are known to be proof
against all efforts to make them deviate from a constructive course.
Accordingly, they are fairly certain of receiving ths solid' support of
those citizens who are more interested in seeing our schodl children i
wroperly housed than in obtaining public jobs for their friends.- I

A Word of Defense
I am going to share with you a letter
that came to me this morning, because
perhaps what I have' to say about It wtli
help you to get the point of view or
those who are on the Inside of the motion
picture Industry.
•'T have tried and tried to get Into
pictures,' 1 a girl wrote, “but I couldn’t
get into any of the studios. I got as
far as the easting directors’ offices In
three of the Studios near New York, but
on of these three was Just being closed
down and though I left my came and
photograph at each of the other two,
I never heard anything from them.
“Now, I WRnt to get Into pletnres; I
know I could make good. But how can
I do It when I don't get any coopera

to me that the big companies ought to

prove what they can do.”
Well, I can see how she felt about it.
of course. But It s time people realised
that the motion picture Industry Is Just
like any other Industry. The people In
It are working for their livings. Just
as If they worked In department stores
of offices or factories. You don's hear
a girl say, “I know I’m a good stenog
rapher and I think the manager of the
go and So Company ought to give me a
chance to prove that I am.” Not at all.
She tries to get a position with some
company of that type and prove her
ability.
Now why should those who are mak
ing motion pictures be under obliga
tions to those who want to make pic
tures? Os course, they depend On the
public for their success .So do those
who net on the stage, however And
people don’t demand that theatrical
managers give them a chance to act.
They get on the stage If they can. that’s
all.

who have ability. We need them. But
most of ns are working so hard and so
steadily that we have little time to
think of anything else. We can't go
about creating opportunities for those
who want to work as we do. We're like
people in any other line of work. When
we need someone. we try to get some

one who can fill that need. But the de
mands of our profession are so great
that, much as we would like to, we
can t set them aside In order to help
the people who feel that they want to

It's the same way with scenario writ

read about three hundred manuscripts
a week, in addition to doing a great
many other things, can write a per
sonal letter to each of the authors of
those manuscripts, explaining w-hy his

tics. 1 have never been a suffragette, but

When the women asked to organize them

TUESDAY.
‘•Well, I hate to tear myself away and
go to the office this morning and leave
you people still gossiping about the gar
den party',” said Henry. “I feel cer
tain after all the talk I’ve heard since
Saturday that I don't know half the won
derful things that happened, though I
was there from the beginning of It to
the very end and aimed not to miss any
thing.”
"What did you think was the very best
thlngr”” asked Helen as she sprinkled
sugar over her fruit.
•'Well, I liked Mr. Jackson's speech
better than anything, Helen, because it
meant so much to the people of the town,"
answered her father; "but if you mean
what I liked best of the fun—well, let me
see —oh! yes,—lt was what the Bride told
me when she read my palm In her for
tune telling tent.”
“Oh. what did she say, dad?” asked
Helen breathlessly.
“Well she told me that someone was
going to leave me some money and that
w were going to take a Journey,” an
swered Henry solemnly.
"All of u?” questioned Helen ex
cltedly.
"Don't be silly, Henry," Interrupted
Mrs. Hooper. “The Bride told every one
that in her fortune telling. Besides, I'd
like to know who'd leave ua any money.
We'll Just go tn saving our three dollars
a week toward vacations.”
“What did you think was the best
thing, mother?" again questioned Helen.
"Well, the fact that I had $5lO tn ray
cash drawer, when we counted our money,
was Just as exciting as anything the day
contained for me," replied Mrs. Hooper.
"The people ate up everything and drank
up everything on the premises and ail
their 25-cent pieces went into my cash
box."
T think that was a fine idea of yours,
my dear,' 1 said Menry, "to sell the tickets
for all your refreshments at one place
and have the money handled by one per
son. So that there was none of the usual
confusion of making change and fussing
rt each separate booth."
"Yes, H worked out very well," re
plied Mrs H oper. "and the high school
girls and boys were a wonderful help
about leading people to my booth to buy
their tickets and then waiting on them
so beautifully when they ordered tbelr
refreshments."
"Well. I know what Roger thought was
the nicest thing that happened without
asking him." said Helen, impishly. She
had evidently been leading up to this
climax, though no one had suspected
her.
"What?" Inquired Mrs. Hooper inno
cently,
"Edna Jackson." announced Helen
gleefully. "She danced with him seven
times. I know because I counted "
"Well, you're wrong. Miss Smartr."
retorted Roger, flushing. "It was only
six. and she danced with every single
fellow In my bunch rfs well as with me."
"Just once—not seven times—” per
sisted his sister.
"I tell you It was only six.” Roger
flung back hotly. "Mother, I wish you'd
make her attend to her own affairs. Why
should she tp snooping around—"
"I wasn't snooping," snapped Helen in
dignantly Mr. Jackson and I were eat
ing ice cream on the porch aud he
said ——"
"That will do, Helen," interrupted her
mother; "It isn't polite to count the
number of times a person does anything
In order to tease them about it. I
thought Edna Jackson was very nice to
every boy and girl at the party—and I’m
sure she danced with every boy wbo
asked her."
"I 'spect she did." persisted Helen—
"and I Just 'spose Roger asked her
seven times which 1 don't call very
polite. Anyhow, the teacher at dancing
school said It wasn't ”
“Mother, make her stop," Insisted
Roger, ns he rose from the table with
his father, looking indignant enough to
beat Helen.
"I will Roger,” promised his mother.
"I’ll talk to her while we are making that
cherry Yum-Yum you tike so much. I'm
going to put up some of It after I finish
the washing this morning."
With the cherry season at its height
and with sugar only 7 cents a pound,
Mrs. Hooper intended during the week
to add the fruit as well as some straw
berries and pineapple which were also
at their best anil cheapest In the market
to her preserve closet. The small tart
Cherries were selling at 20 to 25 cents a
quart basket, strawberries at 25 cents
for the same quantity and the pineapples
she found this week were 35 cents. These
fruits probably wouldn't be any cheaper
than they now are so she bought as
much of each as her budget would per
mit. She had a delicious recipe for
strawberry and pineapple preserves that
she and the Bride were going to try to
morrow' and on each day this week she
planned to do a little preserving. Like
the ballots of married women marked
by their husbands, who will "resent”
any politics in the family that they do
not control, and let the precinct com
mitteemen name some man to mark the
ballots of the single women.
If the Democratic leaders think the
women have been enfranchised to be put
in the position occupied by the negroes
in the Republican party, they have an
other guess coming. A political party is
not a compulsory organization. Women
are under no obligations to vote a ticket,
even if they prefer It, and the sooner the
men learn it the better. I suppose that
women who have some political aspira
tions may be whipped into line, but self
respecting women who have nothing to
gain from politics but social improve
ment will miss their opportunity if they
do not put their heels on the serpent’s
head whenever It comes within reach.
That Is what will be done if Meekerism is
not quicklv abandoned by one—

PARK SERVICE
CHIEF AGENCY IN
SAVING TREES
(Contlnned From Page One.)
having the fee simple on the land to the
center of street. For this reason, ac
cording to James H. Lowry, superintend
ent of parks, the matter of planting,
spraying and trimming of trees has been
handled through r permit system. The
department merely has undertaken to
protect the property owner from having
his trees butchered by wrong trimming
and spraying. This is accomplished by
licensing all men who do work con
nected with trees.
During thegpast year the special service
has been conducting a campaign for the
elimination of dead and dangerous trees.
The city has been zoned an<) all bad tim
ber is being ordered removed in each
district as fast as Inspectors can make
the rounds The department has power
to do this under a city ordiuauce.
FORESTRY
DEPARTMENT.
This ridding of the city of dead tim
her l s the first step toward the estab
lishment of anew division of the park
department, the forestry department. In
dianapolis will have to have a distinct
organization working ail the due for
the planting and maintenance of trees
along streets on the public lawns space
if it is to take care of its forestry prob
lem properly. Mr. I.owry believes.
Not much additional legislation will be
required to operate the new division be
cause the park board already has con
siderable powers In this direction.
The big reasons for having a forestry
department, according to Mr. Lowry, are:
To Insure uniform planting of trees
throughout the city instead of the pres
ent haphazard way; to care for trees
once they are properly planted and to
rid the city of several types of tree
diseases which are practically denuding
some streets.
An existing law gives property own
ers the right to petition for tree plant
ing uuder the city's supervision on the
lawn spaces between sidewalk and
street in front of their homes. Those who
favor a forestry department believe that
this should be extended so that the for
estry department be primarily responsi
ble for the planting and would set out
trees along streets which need shade
without waiting for property owners to
act. The city could do this compara
tively cheaply because it can raise the
saplings at the city nursery at River
side Park. The nursery Is one of the
largest, if not the largest, municipal tree
and shrub plants in the country.
OYSTER SHELL SCALE
TREE MENACE.
It has been estimated that a forestry
force could be maintained for approxi
mately .SIO,OOO per year. Most cities
which have such a branch appropriate
from $25,000 to $30,000 for It. The most
expensive feature of the work of such
a division here would be in spraying
because of the very serious infestation
of oyster shell scale and other tenacious
tree diseases. Unless something on a
city-wide basis Is done to combat these
menaces, such as the giving of power
to some department to require property
oxvners to spray trees on their private
ground, as well as citizens or the ci'y
to work on these In the public lawn
space, Indianapolis is going to lose thou
sands of trees. In fact, it is losing hun
dreds today. Every year the trees of
Indianapolis die faster than they arc
planted.
Fighting tree disease Is only one of
the concrete services a forestry depart
ment could render. Some specific in
stances of what Intelligent supervision
of planting and maintenance might have
avoided will be discussed later.
ATLANTA GETS
FALL MEETING
OF FARM BODY
Third Annual Convention of
Bureau From Nov. 22 to
25 Inclusive.
CHICAGO, July s.—The third annual
convention of the American Farm Bureau
Federation will be held in Atlanta, Ga.,
Nov. 22 to 25, inclusive. This was de
cided at the executive committee meeting
in Chicago.
Members of the executive committee
say that this will be the greatest meet
ing of farmers ever held In America.
Invitations have been extended to agri
cultural societies in foreign lands.
Harry J. Sconce reported for the com
mittee on foriegn guests at the annual
meeting. Through the American embas
sies Sconce has already heard from
eighty-five farmers' organizations in
eleven nations. It seems probable that &
large delegation of the most distin
guished farmers' representatives from &
number of foreign countries will La
present at the next annual meeting. It
Is thought that the coming of representa
tive farmers from abroad to fraternize
with farm bureau leaders in America wllh
do much to clarify the foreign sitnatlon
and to promote friendly relationships to
the benefit of both agriculture and com
merce.
Governors of several southern State*
have signified their intention of attend
ing this meeting. It is estimated that at
least 500 delegates and visi*ors will bo
in attendance.
The subcommittee of the executive com
mittee in charge of arranging the an
nual meeting program announced that
steps had already been taken to secure
some of the speakers.
A National Farm Bureau referendum
will be taken preceding the convention
in order to obtain complete information
as to the farmers’ desires in regard to
matters that will be acted upon at the
Atlanta meeting.
Seven other cities besires Atlanta made
strong bids for the convention. They
were St. Paul, Chicago, Louisville, St.
Loulr, New York, Buffalo and Minne
apolis. James \V. Morton, Athens, Ga.,
executive committeeman from the south
ern, region presented the Atlanta Invita
tion. The meeting was held lasi year
in Indianapolis.
‘COUNTRY NEEDS
MILLION HOMES’
Forestry Head Opposes Tariff
on Building Materials.
WASHINGTON, July s.— Pointing out
that the “country Is in vital need of a
million homes ami as many more farm
buildings," Charles Lathrop Pack of the
American Forestry Association, in an
open letter to President Handing de
clared that ‘‘any tariff which would add
to the cost of construction would result
In serious delay in solving the housing
problem and the equally vital need of
, buildings for agricultural purposes.”
"Our own forests are being depleted at
such a rate that it will be false economy
to adopt any pressure which would in
crease the demands upon them when
such demands can be supplied by impor
tation from other countries,” Pack said.
"The time is now here when he have
awakened to a realization of the Rerious
-ituation brought about by our dimlnlsh
‘ ing forest areas and our failure to pro
vide means for perpetuation of our for
ests so that they will provide for our
present as well as our future needs."

cat, believed to have been suddenly mad

on its mistress as she was motoring
through Bay side, Queens, and had to be
strangled before its teeth relaxed their
hold. The victim, Mrs. Marjorie Forbe*
