NOW PROPOSED
Author Regards Measure
Would Insure Conviction

NEW YORK. Aug 22. —A Congressman
from New York has been approached
with the following proposal for anew
section of Article XVIII of the Federal
constitution:
“Liquor prohibition amendment, sec
tion 4. In clew of the estimated $500,-
000,000 annual profits of those engaged
In the Illicit profession of •bootlegging.’
and the purse-emptying hardships there
by falling upon all law breaking citizens
to the detriment of their creditors and
others, the following maximum schedule
of prices is fixed as fair and reasonable: j
Scotch, $7 quart; rye, $5 quart; gin. $4
quart and beer and light wines at pre
Volstead prtces plus no more than 10
per cent. The penalty for failure to '
comply with the foregoing maximum
schedule of prices, subject to annual re- j
vision, shall be imprisonment for not
more than ten years and fine of not more
than SIO,OOO, or both fine and Imprison- ;
ment for each offense."
The Congresman said: "The point
made by my constituent was that under
proposed amendment there would be i
no difficulty In obtaining convictions
from juries in prosecutions against boot- ;
loggers. ■*

Arsenio N. Lux. manager of the Phil- j
ippincs commercial agency, commenting
upon the intimation that the United ;
States Government bad an “Irish" ques
tion In the Far Fast, said: “The Moros
are Mohammedans and number about !
200.000. The balance of the Philippines 1
population, some 9.500,000, are Christians,
chiefly Roman Catholics. Inasmuch as
the problem in Irelaud is a religious one. !
the analogy is not altogether wrong |
However, there are fewer Moros In the 1
Philippines than there are Ulstermen in
Ireland. At any rate the overwhelming
majority of the inhabitants of both Ire
land and the Philippines desire inde
pendence."

CORNER STONE OF
NEW CHURCH LAID
Bishop H. H. Fout Conducts
the Services.
With the formal placing of the corner
stone for the new $125,000 United Brethren
Church on the northwesl corner of Park
a venue and Walnut street yesterday aft
emoon. work to rush the completion of
the structure is under way.
The service* were conducted by the Rev
H. II Font, resident bishop In charge of
the Indiana district of the church.
Others assisting in the ceremony were
the Rev. J. W. I-xke of Warsaw; the Rev.
J. B. Parsons of the Brookslde I'nited
Brethren Church and the Rev. C. H.
Winders, executive secretary of the !n
---dlenapolis Church Federation.
Bishop Fout in his sermon said in part:
“No man In this city can afford to rear
his family without living In the very
shadow of the church. There are things
material that he needs, but the church
always will be the foundation for the
sevnrity of society. It was the philo
sophy of George Washington, the fore
leader of the fathers of this Nation, who
In his inaugural address declared that to
the church must mankind always look
forr guidance and without the teachings of
the church the Government was unsafe
and not dependable. It was Abraham
Lincoln, who said. The church—God
bless it—tho corner stone of the Nation.’
And it has been said that the germona of
Sturgeon did more toward stabilizing the
Nation than did any statesmen of his day
“Wo have heard the story of Midas,
whose touch turned the baser metal into
gold, but the touch of God Chang*-* even
gold into the coin of heaven. The church
with the touch of God is a plai-e of great
est vision and vows. Without the back
ing of the church and God onr own oaths
of tite <-ourts of justb-e would be hollow
mockery. Churches may fall into decay
long a'Yer man has ceased to function in
them, but the results of the church will
live forever.”
The services were attended by a large
number of church workers and members
of the new church as well as of other
churches of ths city.
IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS
KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS
(The Hoopers, an average American
family of five, living in a suburban
town, on a limited income, will tell
the readers of the Dally Times how
the mauy present-day problems of
the home are solved Dy working on
the budget that Mrs. Hooper has
evolved and found practical. Follow
them dally In an Interesting review
of their home lire and learn to meet
the conditions of the high cost of
living with them.)
MONDAY.
Mrs. Hooper had prepared a hearty
breakfast several hours before the usual
hour for the morning meal, as the camp
ers were eager to get an early start.
Everything had been packed ship-shape
In the automobile and while every crack
and cranny had been filled with some
article necessary for their comfort.
While on the trip, Roger and Billy had
plenty so room on the front scat and
Henry and the two girls fitted nicely
into the roomyy one In the back. Mrs.
Hooper and Betty waved good-by ta
them Just as the sun wrs beginning to
peep over the horizon, after Helen and
Roger had promised faihtfully to write
alternately every other day, and nenry
had said that he would w rite bisnself on
the days that they didn't.
“Then if we keep our promises he
won't have to write at all,” laughed
Roger as Billy prepared to start, "so
we will Just take turns. Pad can write
the first letter. I'll write the second and
Helen the third and then well begin
over again.”
"Well. I'm glad we didn't promise to
write any letters." said Billy. "Our
family will Just have to wait till we
get home, for the news. Isn't that so,
Anna ?”
“Oh. I think you ought to send your
mother a line." exclaimed Mrs. Hooper.
“She will be so anxious to know how
you are faring. It isn't much trouble,
for all the pleasure it w-iii give her."
“No street" exclaimed Billy. “This is
a vacation trip and I’m not going to write
letters to any o” .
“Well. If you'll send a message in Rog
er's letter I'll give it to your mother,"
answered Mrs. Hooper, "because I know
she will want to hear from you quite as
much as T do from Roger and Helen."
“Oh all tight." Billy said carelessly, as,
If his mother's snxlety were a matter of
little moment, "but she never expects any
thing like that when we go away from
home."
“Well, I certainly do" was Mre. Hoop
er's last word ** they glided away from
the gate with Betty jumping about and
waving her small bands excitedly, over
this departure.
The house usually so orderly, looked as
If a cyclone had struck it, and as Mrs.
Hooper put things In their places she he
gan to plan what she intended to do dur
ing the next two weeks when she would
i have no one to think about but herself,
j She hadn't said anything to Henry about
all the canning she proposed to do in the
mornings, because he would only have nr
guei against It and insisted that she wa*
, doing extra work instead of taking a va
| cation. But w ith her housekeeping and
i .-nokin g out down to tho needs of one
she reasone 1 thst the time devoted to her
canning wnnld not in the least Interfere
with her enjoyment of the remainder of
' the day. and that she wouldn't be crowd
jed as she sometimes w as. when other
household tasks demanded attention he
: fore a particular batch of fruit or vpge
tables was quite finished.
Her mother was leaving on a late after
noon train for the seashore and after
Betty had her luncheon and had been
settled in her bed for her nap Mrs.
Hooper packed a hamper with her
' clothes, so that she would he resdy to
start with her grandmother as soon ns
she was awake and dressed. While the
greater part of the assortment of clothes
were gingham and percale play dres.-es
! and rompers, they were all daintily made
and each one was trimmed a bit differ
netly from the others sos hat they h and
! an Individual touch that could be credited
solely to Mrs. Hooper's taste and deft
fingers. A number of sheer white dresses
for occasions when her mother would
i want the child "dressed up were In
i eluded and these had all the apparance
! of being tremendously expensive because
there was so much handwork on them
and they were exact copies of the small
garments one sees in big city shops. A
a matter of fact the cost of each little
dress had been !e-s than a dollar, in a I
most every case and scvcrnl of the pret
tiest had been made from pieces of
Helen's old white dresses. but when
pretty little Betty with h-r dark curls,
big brown eyes and pink cheeks, was
dressed to go with her grandmother in
. the outfit her mother had made for her
and which included everything but her
seeks and sandals, she looked like the
small well dressed daughter of a million
aire instead of the child of fifty-dollar
a week bookkeeper.
1 "I don't know how yon do it Mary.
said her mother approvingly ns she
1 looked at her little granddaughter when
she was ready to accompany her on her
trip. . , .
"Well, nenry is always fussing be
cause I put so much time and work on
Betty's clothes.” answered Mrs. Hooper
“He savs it is all nonsense, but I love
to sew and make dainty thing*, and
when I ran take 50 cell's' worth of ma
serial anil make it look like a $lO dress
i 1 reallv enjoy the achievement.”
| "He may be afraid that bringing up
Betty dressed as you seep her will even
I tunliy len.l to her having extravagant
! ideas about clothes that later in life
I she can't gratify." observed tier mother.
I "Oh. no, it isn't that." laughed Mrs
Hooper. “Henry doesn't think ahead
that far. He just believes it is unneces
sary work. If I were putting in the
same number of stitches on an embroi
dered sofa pillow, like those we used to
make when I was a young girl, he'd
thick 1 was just amusing myself "
"Well, you know Helen has so many
absurd notions about being 'stylish' that
seem to worry yon very much at times."
continued her mother, "that I was just
wondering if hr ideas of grandeur tnny
not be traced to the rather superior wav
you've always dressed your children in
relation to your means."
I “I don't believe so," replied Mrs.
Hooper, thoughtfully. "I think Helen
gets her opinions of what Is ‘stylish’
from her Auntie Belle and has no idea
that her clothes or Betty's are expensive
looking. They are far too plain and sim
pie in appearance to impress her 9he
much prefers the loud colors and flashy

EXPERIMENT TO
PREVENT ROLLS
IN NEW ASPHALT
Assistant Engineer Suggests
It Is Caused bg Top Layer
‘Slipping' When Heated.
Prevention of rolls in the new as
phalt pavemi-nt of Ohio street between
Alabama and Delaware street* is the pur
pose of an experiment suggested by
John L. Elliott, assistaut city civil en
gineer, and being tried out by tbe In
I diana Asphalt Paving Company.
Rolling of the top layer of asphalt is
one of the most disastrous faults In this
kind of payetnent. engineers say. When
the roll or waves develop they cause
j the top surface to become shallow in
some places and thlek in other*. It is
not long before the thin spots are worn
through, to tlie eoncrete base Patehing
of sueh holes never is completely success
fill.
Recently Charles Underwood, city
‘ chemist, had several sections of an old
and verj wavy asphalt t. which was
i being resurfaced, cur out aud brought to
the city hall for study. It was discov
ered. according to Mr. Elliott, .that tile
points where the asphalt rolled the
worst were where the concrete base l.e
jneath had been rolled the smoothest.
Believing that a slick surafee on the
, concrete base permits the asphalt top
layer to slip during the warm weat.br
When traffic is heaviest. Mr. Elliott has
been trying for s"veral months to get
some contractor to try the plan of rough
ening the concrete base surface before
laying asphalt. The Ohio street im
provement is the first upon which the
experiment has been tried. The entire
, base lias been roughened with slight
furrows at a distance of about every six
I inches.
Contractors are watching the experi
ment with much Interest.

PUSS IN BOOTS Jf6.
1 By David Cory *
Well, it didn't rain very long in the
last story, so little Puss Junior and the
slork folded up the Japanese parasol and
looked about them. And not very far
away they saw a little green island w Itb
lots of palm trees and a nice white
beach.
“Lat’s land on tho Island." said Puss.
So the stork steered the boat up to the
beach, and then they both Jumped out
"Maybe It's a desert Island." said Puss
“Ob, no," replied the great w hite stork,
"It's a corat island. Perhaps we ll find
some lovely coral ue.-klaeos If we look
about.
But they didn't, and then they looked
into the deep dear water and saw the
pink and white coral growing like flowers
at the bottom
"But how does the oral grew Into
an Island?" asked little Puss Junior.
“Why, the coral insect fastens It* little
body to some rook under the water, way
down deep, a id by and by part of its
body turns to stone. An dthere are
thousands of these little coral Insects,
and by and by. they keep on building
until tho coral bed comes right out of
the water."
"You're a very wise bird." aald
Puss.
"I'll tell you some more," said the
stork, who aoemed very pleased at Puss
Junior's remark. "When tho little coral
Insect's body Is pretty thoroughly turned
to stone, little buds, looking like the
smallest leaf-buds of the spring time,
begin to grow out of the edg* * The***
are its children. And il has sill! other
kinds of children, coming from eggs and
floating off into the water Th are
the free children or the wanderers. But
even they come back after a short time
and settle beside their parnta. and after
thousands of years they all together
make a coral Island."
“Whew:" gasped Puss, “that's a long
time.
"Come." said the learned stork. "I see
cocoa nuts growing on the palm trees
Let us get one." So he and Puss went
up to the palm grove, and. would you
believe it? Puss threw a stone up into
one of the tree* and knocked off a cocoa
nut.
And just then a pretty parrakeet flew
down from a palm tree. He had a blue
head, a green breast and scarlet wings.
"Cawk: rank caw rr r! What are you
doing ?
That cocoa nn t grew on my very own
tree.
This island of coral belongs all so me.
Why should a cat, whom I never have
known
Dare knock my cocoanuts down with a
stone.
If It wer n’t that you're with an old
friend ts mine.
I'd have you tossed Into the wild ocean's
brine "
"Come, come, Mr. Parrakeet." said the
big white stork. Don't tie disagreeable.
I'm only showing this famous little cat
your beautiful coral island.” And this so
pleased the parrakeet that ho gave Puss
a little corul necklace. And in the next
story you shall hear what happened after
that. Copyright. 1921, David Cory.

Government during the next fiscal year of
around three hundred million dollars.
In other words, the War Department,
under the Harding Administration, will
ask probably about one-half of the
amount for running expenses for a year
as was asked by Newton D. Baker, former
Secretary of War. Mr. Baker estimated
the expenses for the current fiscal year
would require about six hundred million
dollars. The estimates for the next fiscal
year will be due this fall.
In addition, Mr. Weeks points out that
when the new Administration came in on
March 4, the War Department returned
| $13,451,440, previously withheld from ex- i
i penditure by Mr. Baker, to the Treasury
I Department "notwithstanding the fact
' that after the beginning of the present
| Administration, an estimate was made
, based on previous expenditures from
I this appropriation that a deficiency of
$15,000,f00 would be created.”
The savings made, according to Mr.
Weeks, were in spite of the fact that
Congress required the reduction of the
enlisted personnel in the army from
242,000 to 150,000. This reduction, he
said, cost $6,000,000 due to statutory re
quirements regarding the payment of
bonuses, travel allowances, and such.
CIVILIANS DROPPED
FROM ARMY PAY ROLL.
Among the important measures of
economy effected in the War Depart
ment. Mr. Weeks names the reduction of
transportation or personnel and supplies
and the reduction of the civilian em
ployes. In the last five months, he said
i 14.156 civilians have been dropped from
j the pay roll of the War Department.
By an exhaustive survey of real estate
under the control of the War Department,
he said, ninety seven parcels of land were
determined as surplus and already part
of it has been disposed of. Some port
properties hare been rented to the Ship
ping Board, he said, and anew system of
peace time storage has been inaugurated
resulting in the saving, among others, of
$212,164.12 at the New York general in
termediate depot for the quarter ended
June 30.
The sale of surplus declared since
March 4, Mr. Weeks said, has amounted
to $23,304,693.18 while by lengthening the
tour of duties for officers in Panama and
Hawaii, $306,561 will be saved during the
present fiscal year.
Several millions will be saved by the

abandonment of cantonments, he said, at
Camp Devens, (Massachusetts, Camp
Sherman, Ohio, Camp Pike, Arkansas,
Camp Grant, Illinois. Camp Jackson,
South Carolina, Camp Bragg. North Caro
lina, and all but a small part of Camp
Meade. Maryland.
Other savings have been effected, ac
cording to Mr. Weeks, by ths basic
allowances to officers and men centraliz
ing the operation of all army printing
plants under quartermaster corps, sud
etituting army for civilian Instructors
In the vocational training camps, and the
organization of a patent section In the
office of the judge advocate general in
the settlement of claims, 1919, $108,223.14
has been saved.
Additional costs have been incurred by
the carrying out of large projects suen
as the transportations of the bodies of
19.000 American soldiers to this country,
Mr. Weeks pointed out. Describing the
system by which the army was reduced
to 150,000. he said the plan of reorganiza
tion already has been completed.—Copy
