made a motion to have the Federation
endorse the bill prepared by the Ev-
ansville Commercial club providing
for relieving congested conditions in
tenament houses and requiring good
ventilation and sanitation. This bill
has been endorsed by the Indianapo-
lis club and the Federation unani-
mously approved Of it.
Mr.. Hanna, Of Fl. Wayne introduced
a resolution that it was the sense of
the federation that the public roads
of this state should be improved and
kept in good condition. There was
considerable debate in regards to the
recommendation of the constitution
committee, that the Federation should
hold another meeting within sixty
days. A motion was finally adopted
that 1t was the sense of the federation
that the executive committee meet
within sixty days and draft bylaws
and consider matters of Importance.
Favors Better Waterways.
At the meeting held yesterday after
noon r. G. Mcclure of Indianapolis
was elected temporary chairman of
the meeting and w. v. Dixon of Ev-
ansville was elected temporary sec
rotary.
Chairman Mcclure appointed H. S.
Norton of Gary, A. E. Letter of Con-
nersville and Sharon E. Jones of Rich
mond members of the committee on
permanent organization. To the COM
mittee on constitution he appointed
G. M. Kimbrough of Muncie, George
H. Knollenberg of Richmond and A.
w. Brady of Anderson.
Prior to the appointment of these
committees Mr.. Brady, who is presi-
dent of the Anderson Commercial
club and prominent throughout the
state as a traction magnate, read an
excellent paper on Cooperation in
Commercial Club Work" Mr.. Brady
emphasized the necessity of improv-
ing the waterways of this state He
said that the completion of the Pan
anna Canal would usher in a new bust
ness era for Indiana; that new mar.
kets would be opened to the business
men of this state and that trade would
be stimulated, but, he said, to obtain
the best possible results from the op-
ening Of the canal it would be neces.
sary for Indiana to follow the exam
pie set by Illinois and use all her in
fluence to have the federal govern
ment improve the navigable water
ways this state borders.
Mr.. Brady said that the Federation
should not actively engage in politics,
but should look after the commercial
interests of the state with a jealous
eye and exert its influence to promote
sane business conditions and discour-
age LEGISLATION which would be detri-
mental to business.
Mr.. Brady said that despite the mum.
Der of mines operated in this state
the large number of manufacturing
plants within its boundries, Indiana
was not known to the world as min.
ing or manufacturing state. He pre-
dicted that the state would soon be
classed in the first rank of these lines

Everybody Had q Look.


A bu2eau with a large mirror in 1t
stood on the sidewalk about half an
hour the other day while somebody
was moving, and every person who
passed took notice. The children play
ed all around it, of course. making
faces at each other in it. Women
looked conscious as they approached,
and some tried to keep from glancing
that way, but it was no use. They
wanted to see how their skirts hung
and if their belts were all rigb. - the
back. The men adjusted thc.r hats or
felt their ties as they walked by with
a frank stare. Even the movers stud
led their own countenances, and a lit.
tie dog ran up and barked at himself.
Everybody had a look. - New York

favorable circumstances one of diff
Guilty, hardship and discourag cement
When the Indians had been goaded
into state of chronic hostility
freighting over the trail became any
thing but holiday pastime. In later
years, as the traffic grew in volume
and Importance, the dangers and diff
culties were lessened by the establish
ment of military posts at intervals,
but these could not afford perfect Sc
curity- 1t was not until after the In
dams were corraled on reservations,
about 1870, that travel became rea-
sonably safe, and even after that oc-
casional war parties left the reserva-
lions and returned to their old trade
of murder and plumber 1t was the
custom of traders to outfit at indie
pendence, Mo. From there the wagons
travelled singly to Council Grove, on
the Cottonwood, where they waited
for others to form caravan of suffi-
Gent strength to be able to repel any
probable attack. Often 200 men or
more were thus banded together. Each
wagon was drawn by eight mules or
horses or by six or eight oxen, the
white canvas covered Conestoga
wagons made in Pittsburg, being en-
ployed.
After the first tentative years of the
traffic oxen were the preferred
draught animals. For better protec-
ton against the Indians, it was Gus
tomary for four wagons to travel
abreast In addition to the drivers,
number of horsemen always accom-
panied the trains, their duties being
to kill buffalo, antelope and other
game to supply fresh meat to the COM
pany, and to keep sharp lookout for
signs of Indians. Before the start was
made a captain was chosen, and the
long journey was made under his or
ders, under something like military
organization Camping places were
selected by the scouts in advance,
with view to securing plenty of wa
ter and good pasturage for the stock.
At night the wagons were arranged In
form, to serve as a fort in
case of attack Watches and guards
were posted and relieved at frequent
intervals. Cooks and scouts were en-
ployed, and everything possible was
done to obviate danger and to expedite
the trip. But in spite OF all precau-
tons, attacks by Indians were COM
mon, and it is sometimes said that
every rod of the Santa Fe Trail is
marked by a grave

Ready to Pay Fine.

Il know where $4,000, 900 in cash
lies concealed, said a New York law
yer. This vast sum lies concealed in
the inside vest pocket of the 10000
automobilists of New York state. Each
man carries 500 of it in one crisp
note, ready to be paid out in a fine, if
he should be arrested for speeding.
Fines, though, don't appear to stop

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
