IF the authorities are bent upon preventing the brewing of beer in
Indianapolis homes they will have to do more than raid Pat Roach'B
home!
WITH TAMPICO on a rampage agatn "watchful wai ing' probably
does not sound as bad to President Harding as It did when Wilson waa
in the White House.
CONDUCTING public business secretly Is a task the magnitude oi
which will be better realized by W. H. Roberts, president o' the humane
society, in the near future!
GOVERNOR McCRAY is understood to have left strict orders against
ihe painting and graining of any other part of the Statehouse before
leaving on his vacation!
WITH that payment of J 500.000.000 to the railroads perhaps the freight
rates will be lowered to a point where business can resume to a sufficient
extent to make enough money to pay the taxes to raise the J 500,000.000.
DR. KEENE apparently recognizes that In calling for a referendum,
for which the Legislature made provision, citizens of Indianapolis have
not expressed themselves as either for or against participation in the war
memorial!
PERHAPS the engineers will learn that the so-called taxpayers
league is not composed of members who participate 'n defining its policies
for the simple reason that Mr. Alfred Potts believes himself entirely
capable of attending to that detail for them!
Another Poor Argument
In this controversy over the erection of school buildings for t
children of Indianapolis we have heard much concerning the high cost of
building and the supposed advantage of postponing building until price*
reach a lower level.
The theory is as fallacious as the others that have been advanced
by the opponents of decent schools for Indianapolis children.
The conduct of schools is continuous. They cannot be suspended
pending an adjustment of prices. To conduct schools we must ha\e school
buildings.
Two courses are open to the school authorities. They must either
build permanent school buildings at once or establish temporary build
ings of the so-called "portable type!’ in order to house the children who
will apply for admission this fall.
Whatever saving might be effected by delaying *he erection of perma
nent school buildings until building costs drop would bt. more than counter
balanced by the cost of the temporary structures that would be necessary
in the meanwhile.
Those obstructionists who are now standing in the way of a school
bond issue do not want permanent buildings erected at all..
They are now advocating the erection of temporary schools in the
hopes that next year the affairs of the school city will fall into the hands
of reactionaries, who will continue the use of temporary structures and
thereby relieve them of contributing their share of the cost of permanent
schools.
The Smiling Servitor
Once upon a time there stood a man at a window, selling commodine*
such as cannot be mentioned, for if they were told he would be known,;
as he still stands and smiles and his little stunt for a daily livelihood.
This man Is a hero and no one bothers about it. not even himself.
Never in his life did he possess the physical constitution to make him
pre-eminent. His mind Is good, but not superbrilliant. The marks of
care are upon his face and the triumph of his ideals over the sordid
drudgery of life may be read in his honest countenance. As though marked
to occupy such place only in life, fortune has not smiled on his efforts, his
exertions are lost in the whirlwind of a common day b events.
This man may be a strange kind of hero, yet a common one. Every
body knows it and nobody cares. His fortitude in life has made him
such, for through all the stings of outrageous fortune he has kept gentle
and sweet. He realized that his was the common lot of all, and he
accepted the defeats and stings and was neither unpleasant nor made
others unhappy. He held faith through the years, though it cost man>
an effort.
To meet the common things of life and to smile requires a hero or a
heroine. Perhaps some great thing is easily done —real heroes say they
are unaware of greatness. But to suffer the pinpricks of time and be
sweet is hard. To meet the public year in and year out with happy coun
tenance indicates battles fought and desires disciplined, perhaps some
very grave and great.
This hero fills a humble position in life. Almost any one could be
trained to do his work. But ifr* he is gentle to the public, he is kind at
home; if he 13 faithful to his dull work, he is loving to his family. Some
one must do the routine things of life, which tenaciously wear and grate
and rasp. He does it with a smile. Heroes could do no more. Sometime,
somewhere, a fitting reward awaits him and his recompense shall be sure
and abundant.
Roads
In Indiana a country road thirty feet wide is officially sufficient,
although the director of the State highway commission asks for at least
fifty feet. In various places along State roads, where there is plenty of
out-of-doors, efforts are made to widen thoroughfares for the good of all
concerned.
In the good old days, when Dick Turpin robbed and followed the
footsteps of Robin Hood, highways did not exist. Some were built to
facilitate the mails or posts. Woods were cleared to a proper width and,
strangely enough, the highwaymen and robbers ceased their activities
there. The wide thoroughfares presented little opportunities for surprise,
as had the paths through forest and underbrush.
Out of these circumstances grew the post roads, the king’s highways
and the ordinary highways, to be followed with .the less dignified roads,
lanes and paths. The use of the automobile and the trucks today,
emphasize the necessity not only of clearing, but of draining and surfac
ing the road. Concrete or crick have taken the place of mud, while chuck
holes and mire places have given place to smoothness and utility.
The path to good roads has been a long one. The old corduroy, the
pike guarded by toll gates, the hard surface roads, even the graveled tops
have each slowly and expensively had their day and been discarded. They
fitted In the age fairly well and were not to be despised when used.
The coming of automotive transportation changed everything.
If the millions of dollars which are expended yearly for good roads,
are so used that an honest return is made, the investment is an excellent
one. In the past, however, the most expensive frauds were conducted
under the guise of road making and upkeep. Yet every nation that has any
life necessarily must have good facilities for transportation.
Wise!
The American Federation of Labor, in its recent Denver convention, dis
played good sense and fine moderation in two things before, it even though
it refused to make an Indianapolis man, John L. Lewis, president.
The convention, on resolution, expressed sympathy to irish people
who are sufferers from the discontent in that land. It went no further.
It refused to be a party to any boycott of British goods, though urged so
to do.
The boycott is a double-edged sword, and while it might prove very
drastic in the hands of labor, as an organization, it might, in turn, be a
most severe instrument with which punishment could be administered
when least wanted.
The difficulty with the boycott is its lack of reason. There might be
occasion for a movement, when citizens all unite for common good and
with one opinion some action or inaction is taken —a protest against high
prices is recalled in this regard. But such a movement requires some
means of controlling it arid of stopping it. The boycott is too dangerous
to be used, excepting in extreme cases, and then it will naturally arise.
Instead of being confined to any particular organization or being fostered
by one.

people liked what types of pictures—
which isn't putting it very we!!, but

I don't know whether their idea was
to make an attempt to further the idea
of presenting pictures before specially
selected audiences, or not. However, they
did tind out some amazing things
They say that the results prove that
people really go to the movies to see
themselves—not themselves as they really
are. of course, but as they like to be.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS
(The Hoopers, a a average American
family of five, living in a suburban
town, on a limited income, will tell
the readers of the Daily Time* how
the many present day problems of
the home are solved by working on
the budget that Mrs. Hooper has
evolved and found practical. Follow
them daily in an interesting review
of their home life and learn to meet
the conditions of the high cost of
living with them.)
MONDAY.
Doing a little canning each morning
if possible was to be Mrs Hooper's plan
front now till the end of the season, for
gradually filling the shelves in her pre
serve closet Even If she only put tip
eight quarts a day, which just tilled the
rack in her holler once, the result at
the end of the week would he more sat
isfactory than if she tried to do It all
in one or two days This plan also made
It possible for her to buy each day at
the market os large a quantity of fruit
or vegetables for canning ns her budget
would permit. The gsrden furnished
very little surplus for canning, although
there almost always was a quart or more
of “something" to be put up that came
from the garden. But the principal value
of the backyard vegetable plot was that
it kept the table bountifully supplied
and released the "fruit and vegetable
budget for the purchase of bargains in
the ronrket that could be preserved for
next winter.
Peas and spinach were now plentiful
and Mrs. Hooper had planned to put up
eight quarts of peas before luneheon and
the same amount each of both spinach
and peas every day during the week.
The Bride joined her in the middle of
the morning to take her first lesson in can
ning vegetables, having gone home en
thusiastic nfter seeing Mrs. Hooper pre
serve her strawberries. She intended to
start a little preserve closet of her own
Ht once, even if there were only two in
her family. When they went downstairs
to the laundry the grocer had already de
livered the pens that Mrs Hooper had
ordered on Saturday, and they began at
once to shell them.
"You must handle your peas very care
fully from the very first," said Mrs.
Hooper, "if von want them to look fresh,
and not cloudy after they are canned
"I suppose that means I have to shell
them with my mind on what I am doing,"
answered the Bride, "and separate the
old discolored peas from the young ones."
"Yes,” replied Mrs. Hooper, "and when
! dip and blr.nck wil be equally
careful, because if the skins are broken
some of the starch of the peas r-.mes out
and make* the liquid look milky.
The large sauce pan for blanching and
another for the cold dip stood handy and
the boiler with its rack in place and
plenty of hot water for processing was al
ready on the gas stove These with the
large square of oheese o]ofh for blanching
and the Jars and spoons were all the Im
plements needed for ti e work
Mrs. Hooper put the peas Into the
cheese cloth and plunged them into boil
ing water for five or ten minutes. The
object of the blanching is to bring the
color out. to elimlnste the n'-ids and to
help harden the IDene She then dipped
the blanched peas cloth and all. in Ice
cold water for a few seconds. This is
done to set the color and to shrink the
vegetables before parking The Bride
tljen brought her the sterilized Jars
which she had removed from the boiling
water t'slng a sterilized funnel and
spo- ii they filled them Just to the top.
One level teasponftil of salt to a quart
was added and then boiling water poured
In till it overflowed. The rubbers (that
had beeu standing in hot water) were
then put on and the glass top* with the
spring adjusted, but not clamped down
was attended to last.
The jars were then lowered to the rack
in the boiler, allowing the boiling water
to cover the tops for about two inches.
“The time for processing Is counted
not from the minute the Jars are put in,
but after the water begins to jump," said
Mrs. Hooper as she put the lid of the
boiler on tightly.
"How long do you leave these In? In
quired the Bride.
Three hours," answered Mrs. Hooper.
"They will he done right after lunch
eon : then I'll take them out, clamp down
the wire fasteners on the covers and
leave them standing inverted for twenty
four hours to test leakage, being careful
not to place them In a draft or stand
them too near together,"
Well, 1 11 run along home now and
try some of my own," said the Bride,
"and come back tomorrow and see how
you handle the spinach."

day is: :

10 GIRAFFES IN
NORTH AMERICA
SA YS HERD HE A D
Ringling Brothers Circus,
Coming Here, Has Eight of
Almost Extinct Tribe.
"Soudan*," one of Eight Giraffes Ex
hibited by Ringling Bros, and Barnum
& Bailey Combined Show*.
According to Andrew Zingaro. keeper
of the giraffe herd with the Ringling
'Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus,
the long-necked quadruped will shortly
become extinct. The pits of trappers
and the hunters rifles are responsible for
approaching conditions, says Zingaro, and
declares that the only sure way to per
petuate the species will be to breed them
In specially arranged parks of spacious
size.
At present there are but ten giraffes
in North America Eight of these are
owned by the Ringling Brothers and two
are exhibited in eastern zoos. Six of this
total were born at the Ringling winter
quarters in Bridgeport, Conn They were
raised by Zingaro No giraffes have been
Imported since 1910. Those who have re
cently Tisited east Africa, the home oi
the giraffe, report a great scarcity of the
splendid animals.
Soudana. who is nineteen feet high, and
easily the tallest member of North
America s entire animal kingdom, is
worth much study. The giraffe corral has
been specially placed In this season's
menagerie arrangement and Zingaro. who
is recognized as the greatest living au
thority on the habits of this exceptional
animal, will gladly answer all questions
that circus patrons may ask. He will,
for instance, tell you that the giraffe
cever perspires, never utters a sound of
any kind, that its hind legs are exactly
a* long as its front legs, despite an op
tical illusion that suggests the contrary,
and many other interesting things.
Vast congresses of every known wild
animal are specially featured by the
Ringling Brothers this season. More than
a hundred of them are presented in great
steel arenas constituting a trained ani
mal exhibition such as has never before
been seen in America
When the circus comes to Indianapolis
on Friday, July 22, the eight giraffes will
be on exhibition.
HOROSCOPE

TUESDAY, JULY 13.
Astrologers read this as an unfor

Jupiter are all in malefic aspect.
It Is a rule that is most stressful
to all who bear heavy responsibili
ties, making th<jm restless under
burdens of state or financial power.
This Is a most unfortunate time for
applying for appointments of any sort.
The stars that guide political destinies,
which depend on the favor of those who
hold high place, warn against pushing
claims to recognition.
Persons whose birthdate r is should
attend strictly to business and avoid all
temptation to specniate. Those who are
employed should be careful.
Children born on this day may be
subject to ups and downs In life, but

the Judge of the Criminal Court said, he
would prefer only women as jurors.
"Our sons were not slackers during the

slackers when called to jury service. Dis
regard of man's and God's laws run
hand In hand. There never was a good
Christian who was a poor citizen.”
