the various aggregations of capital.
Applying this rule to the question in
hand, there appears to be no valid
reason why the railroad companies
should be compelled to bear the entire
cost of elevating the tracks either in
Indianapolis or in any other city of
the state or nation. The real question
is what part of this total cost the
corporations should pay and what part
of the expense should be borne Dy the
city. The question is a bit difficult
to answer.
Up to date there has been spent in
the city of Indianapolis a little more
than ane million, one hundred thou
sand dollars on track elevation. This
sum has been expended at twelve diff
ferent points in the city. This expen-
diture has extended over a period of
five years. OF this amount the COM
panies have paid 70 per cent and the
County and City the remaining % per
cent. OF this latter portion, the city
has paid from fourteen to seventeen
per cent. There seems to be no le-
ultimate reason why the people should
not assist in this work to this limited
extent. 1t is safe to say that 16 per
cent of the total benefits to be derived
from track elevation in a city like In
dianapolis will accrue directly to the
people themselves in increased facil-
ity for travel and in safety to life,
hitherto sacrificed on grade cross
ings."
Hurry on Sanitation.
DR.. J. n. Hurry of the state board of
health spoke this afternoon on the
question Of sanitation and sewage dis.
posal under commission government.
DR.. Hurry is of the opinion that SAM
tation fares best under the commits
sion plan. He says that in all cities
which have the commission plan the
cause of sanitation has been advanced
rapidly In all of them the death rate
has been lowered. DR.. Hurry says the
commission plan had it's beginning in
the problems of sanitation developed
by the Galveston disaster.
The discussion of DR.. Hurty's paper
was lead by the Hon. A. J. Hammond
ex-city engineer, South Bend.

S ART A LITTLE
HOME FACTORY
A New Book Creating
Widespread Interest

This new book is being circulated
widely throughout the country BY The
National Home Products League, an
organization for the promotion Of the
welfare Of the home, advancing plans
and ideas whereby women may earn in
the home without seeking employment
i'll mills, factories, stores or shops.
The purpose of the book is to familiar
ize women with such methods as they
are now using to earn livelihood. 1t is
creating widespread interest in the entire
subject.
Mrs. Alden tells women how to earn
money in wonanly ways One is struck
by the number of original and novel
occupations mentioned. Its value in
/ every home from Maine to Oregon will
, be more than transient. 1t is breezy and
inspires confidence and women will find
it comfort to have in the home. There
is hardly a woman who may not some
/ day be called upon to earn and this book
may save many an anxious hour.
| The first efforts of this organization is
! to deal with home manufacture of goods
which can be sold by the maker i'll her
own locality. without the aid Of the
selling organization Of the League. Later
the manufacture of articles in the home
to be sold widely through the League
is to be taken up.
| Those who are Interested in earning
who wish to cor the making and
/ selling in their II locality, articles OF
! home manufacture. will receive full
information by writing to The National
Home Products League, 277 Broadway.
New York City.
If the book. "Women's Ways of
Farming Money is of interest. the cloth
edition may be secured by mailing 81 90
to the League.
| One of the profitable lines of manu-
facture advocated by the League, is the
treatment of any inexpensive cotton cloth
with waterproof fluid, then making in
the home waterproof aprons. overalls,
rain coats, hay covers. wagon covers, rain
curtains for carriages and automobiles,
folding water buckets and bath tubs
The cost of waterproofng cloth by such
methods does not exceed two cents per
yard and produces material superior to
any other to be had and very light weight.
There is great local demand for suct,
goods. especially when they can be sold
at only fraction Of the cost of rubber
material or rubber substitutes. which are
usually very heavy in weight and last
but short period of time.

MRS. JOHNSTON SPOKE.
Her Address Was One of the Features
of the Meeting Last. Night.

Her Address Was One OF the Features
of the Meeting Last Night.
1.-The Place of Beauty in Civic Life"
by Mrs. NJ. F. Johnston was the prin-
cipal address at most interesting
meeting of the league last evening.
Mrs. Johnston in her characteristic
way pointed out that the movement
for more beautiful cities is national.
not local. The women's clubs and civ
ic associations have been the leaders.
The new movement stands for ideals:
for better culture. It is spiritual
movement. Eut the thing, says Mrs.
Johnston, cannot be accomplished
without the backing Of the city gov
ernments. She said that merely being
the best Democrat or the best Republi-
can in the world would not help men
to build beautiful cities. These men
must be directed in this work by a
man who knows.
In the next generation" said Mrs.
Johnston, there will be new kind
CT man-the scholar He will be the
man who burns midnight oil; the man
who knows In Richmond, a few
years ago we lost our most beauti-
full treasure because somebody did not
know that an old mill, with its mill
race winding through u valley, Is beau
tiful. We did not have the man who
knew. Last year our park was dis
figured almost beyond repair because
the men who had it's destiny in charge
did not know that the utility of park
depends upon its beauty. 1t is usefu!
because it is beautiful and pleasant
place to be-
/ A Lecture on Trees.
! Mrs. Johnston was assisted by Prof
J. F. Thompson, of the local high
school. who gave stereopticon views
of places made beautiful. He also
gave part of his own lecture on
| Trees" showing that the most beau
tiful trees are those that are never cut
| He said that tree should be beaut
full in winter as we'll as summer This
| is not possible if it's branches have
been hacked and cut away. The bes,
trees for city streets are the oak, elm
hickory and sugar maple. The sof,
maple is not a good street tree
The Hon. Findlay Mount of Craw
louisville in a short but vigorous
speech seconded the thoughts ex
pressed by Mrs. Johnston. He said
! This idea of civic beauty has more
in it than appears on the surface
Greek civilization reached it's highes
point because of the devotion of it,
people to the idea of beauty" Mr.
Mount said there lis no excuse TO-
giving companies which place wires
overhead on the streets a right to des
trop in half an hour what it has taker
half century to grow"
The speaker also touched on thu
smoke nuisance. saying that it ha:
been eliminated in Charlottesville
This he thought a complete REPUTATION
of the argument made by manufactul
ers that the nuisance cannot be avoid
ed. He said, also, that the day is fas
coming when the billboards will be re
moved from the prominent corners ant
the residence districts.

from the pavilion He must have a
loud voice like a brakeman, and his
own code Of pronunciation. This
tempts people to attend the game full
oft, in order to learn the language.
Not frequently an umpire will make
an excellent decision, but this will
not always placate the raging. He has
the disadvantage of not being affiliat-
ed with either team, nor with the
spectators, and therefore has no
friends to lean upon but his beloved
ones at home.
In spite Of all this, nearly every day,
an upright umpire will essay TO do his
detegtable task, hewing to the foul
line and letting the base hits fall
where they may. although no doubt,
ne could gain prime segar by telling
an untruth. | have also noticed that

blind partisanship on the part OF those

urge that all visiting teams play their
games on their home grounds.
