is OF STATE INTEREST
COURT RULES THAT THE MAN is
ENTITLED TO REcoMPENSE BE.
CAUSE HE WORKED PRIOR TO
SUPREME DECISION.

Muncie. Ind. Dec. 1.-The first le-
gal step following the declaration of
the unconstitutionality of the three
mile road law by the State Supreme
Court was taken here yesterday when
Judge Joseph G. LETTER, in the Della
ware Circuit Court. issued an order
for peremptory writ of mandate COM
handing County Treasury Ralph H.
Clark to pay s17.0644O to George w.
McCray of indianapolis, who holds a
contract for the construction of
brick highway on Walnut street, south
from near the center OF the city to the
township line The road was uncom-
peted at the time the ruling of the
Supreme Court was made
Is of Much Interest.
The question involved is one which
has caused widespread comment and
which has given rise to many and var
led opinions. The gist of the question
is whether road uncompleted at the
time the law was declared invalid NAV
be legally paid for with money derived
and sold and money received prior to
the declaration of the unconstitution-
atty of the act
Contractor McCray brought suit for
writ of mandate, both peremptory
and alternative, to compel the pay
ment of the amount (S17.O64.4O) said
to be due. The sum is said to be an
unpaid portion of an estimate based
on so per cent of the highway COM
pleted to date. The original estimate
was $67,773.2S and the amount paid
prior to the ruling of the Supreme
Court was $5O,7O6.SS. The contract
price of the road was s94,9S2. The
length Of the Improvement will be
practically three miles.
Treasurer Pays Amount.
The money was Immediately paid by
Treasurer Clark following the order
of the court, and John Hayes G. Sons
Co.. having the contract for another
brick highway here, also received it's
pro rata share on it's estimate. Work
on the two roads mentioned. as well
as another held by John Gubbins, will
be continued at once.
The decision handed down by Judge
Leffler is based almost wholly on the
question of estoppel. A ruling of the
Supreme Court is cited by the court in
the decision made by him today. 1t
is pointed out that, if after the SUI
preme Court considered the law and
declared it unconstitutional. it proba-

to legaliZe that which has been done

court was decided almost solely from
a standpoint of estoppel.
The ruling reads:
In the case at bar the township has
the benefit OF the work done by the
contractor under his contract with the
Board of County Commissioners. The
contractor has expended his money
for construction or incurred his obi
cations therefor. The money sought
to be recovered is for work already
done for the benefit of Center Town
ship. II the Supreme Court on rehear-
ing, should finally determine that the
act in question is unconstitutional, still
the plaintiff in this case would be en-
titled in the courts opinion to recover
the money which he seeks to have paid
him for work done in this case"
II is generally understood that no
attempt will be made to take the pres
ent litigation to the Supreme Court.

Editor of Palladium:
If our school board wants to do
something for the betterment of our
children attending the public schools,
why not have the sputum of every
teacher examined by the Bacteriologic-
al Department of our State Board of
Health.
During the present school year a
teacher in one of the district schools
has died from tuberculosis
1t does seem to me that our city
and county health officials should ge.
busy and at least see that our schools
are free from infection.

Since It's Introduction into the Unit

Partisan Sage is the quickest acting
and most efficient hair tonic in the
world.
1t is made to conform to DR.. Sang
erbond's tof Paris, proven theory that
dandruff, falling hair. badness and
scalp itch are caused by germs.
Partisan Sage kills these dandruff
germs and removes all trace of dan
druff in two weeks: it stops falling hair
and itching scalp and prevents bald
ness.
And remember that badness is caus-
ed by dandruff germs, those little hard
working, persistent devils that day and
night do nothing but dig into the ROO 5
of the hair and destroy its vitality.
Partisan Sage is a daintiiy perfum-
ed hair dressing; not sticky or greasy.
and any woman who desires luuriant
and bewitching hair can get it in two
weeks by using it.
Beware of limitations look for the

The great majority of people have to
work, and work hard, to earn living. There
is no escape from this stern reality. Inevi-
tably along with this, however, there arises
preliminary question, namely, to earn a
living for what? For his mere physical sub
sstence? imperiously necessary as this is.
How about earning, along with it, a
living for his soul, for his sense of self, re-
spect, his integrity, his pride in his calling,
his felow-feeling with others!
How, on the contrary, about earning
or rather getting-a living in ways that CEN
fer in self alone; that ignore the claims and
