THIS ROOM CLIMBS
SAYS LIBERTY MAN
BOARDING ELEVATOR

Evidently there are no elevators in
Liberty, according to the elevator man
at the court house. He was greatly
amused by the Union county residents
and the Lee county, Kentucky citizens
brought here as witnesses in the An
derson Thomas murder case
First they laboriously plodded up
the two long flights of marble steps
to the court room on the third floor.
These trips were frequent. Finally
a 30-year-old kentuckian ventured on
the elevator with his mother while it
stood on the first floor. He examined
1t with curiosity.
'Lookee here, mama" he said.
They move this whole room upstairs.
Say, how much did this thing COST"
he asked the elevator man.
While the elevator arose two stories
at what is regarded as a slow rate of
speed. the two held their breath, and
as it stopped with a jerk at the third
floor, sighed with relief. Then they
emerged triumphantly before their
neighbors. Envy soon overcome fear
and they all took a ride. After that
the elevator worked overtime.

CHANCES OF LIVING
FOUR SCORE AND ten
.SHOW NO BETTERMEN1

NEW YORK, May 26-"While the
been greatly extended during the past
century, there has been no material
addition to the span of human life, "
said DR. Eugene L. Fisk, director of
the Hygiene Life Extension Institute,
in speech before the delegates to the
convention of the National Association
of Manufacturers here today.
1T is true that in certain countries
such as Sweden, England and Wales,
Prussia and Denmark there has been
gain in vitality at every age period
OF life during the past quarter cen
fury, but in this country, SO far as we
can determine from our exceedingly
unsatisfactory registration records,
there has been not only a failure to
lengthen the span Of life, but posi-
tive loss in vitality at middle life and
later, notwithstanding the fall in the
general death rate.
Faulty Living Habits.
This conquering Of death, in the
earlier age periods of life is due to
mans success in meeting the massive
frontal attacks of such enemies as
diphtheria, tuberculosis. typhoid fever
and diseases Of infancy.
But we have been less successful in
guarding against influences, agencies
and infections which may be compared
to submarine attacks, or to sapping
and mining operations that reveal no
enemy until an explosion occurs I'm
der this class of agencies we include
faulty living habits which tend to dis
turb the functions of the body and i'm
pair the efficiency of our organs, ulti-
mtae!y causing them to break down;
also chronic infections, which pass un-
noticed often for years until announc-
ed by illness and physical failure

ordered that the paving be OF brick,
but, of course, the decision of the
property owners is final.
While the property owners have
been considering the kind of paving
they desire certain city officials have
been making an investigation to de-
termine the desirability of asphalt as
a paving. The result has been that
they are more than ever convinced
that the brick paving is by far the
most serviceable and hygenic of the
two.
Ruts Wear in Streets.
Here are some of the facts concern
ing asphalt paving which have been
reported:
Director of Public Works c. A.
Proctor Of Detroit, has urged that
automobilists "be trained or COMPEL
ed to avoid following precisely in one
another's tracks," on asphalt streets
to prevent wearing ruts in the paving.
In Indianapolis city officials repeat
eddy urged the Barber Asphalt COM
pany, which controls the Trinidad
asphalt market in this country, to re-
pair Caldwell street, even threaten
ing legal action, but no repairs were
made despite the company's guaran-
tee. The pavement was finally taken
up and relaid at the expense of the
taxpayers.
The most frequent objection to as
phalt paving is that it is hot and dusty
in the summer and noisy at all times,
The dust is produced by wearing of
the gritty surface. Physicians have
asserted that asphalt dust is particu-
larly injurious to the throat and
lungs.
Municipal authorities Of Cincinnati,
New York and Washington have plac-
ed the ban on Trinidad asphalt, which
is the kind specified in the petition
which has been circulated among
North Astreet property owners.
Prof. Ira Osborn Baker, an authority
on asphalt, has assigned thirteen
causes for the failure of asphalt as a
paving material:
Improper refining, leaving too great
an amount of volatile oils, which
causes disintegration.
When the sand is too course or too
fine, or contains too much clay.
When there is too much oil in the
binder, which may be absorbed by the
top coat.
When there is faulty manipulation
in the heating and mixing. causing
disintegration.
When the paving cement is mixed
too hard, causing cracks in cold
weather.
When the binder is too rich to work
up, causing the top coat to go to
pieces.
When the mixture becomes chilled
while being transported from plant to
street.
When the sand and asphalt separate
while being transported.
When the asphalt mixture is spread
upon a damp or dirty foundation.
When there is in adequate compress
ion.
When the concrete foundation is
made too weak
When the foundation is porus,. let
ting water through, and freezing be-
tween the concrete and top coat.
When ordinary illuminating gas
leaks and is absorbed by the asphalt
1t will disintegrate and go to pieces.

THE USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, If you want to keep
your hair looking its best Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless),
is cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
err, which rinses out easily. remov-
ing every particle of dust, dirt, dan
druff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluf.
fy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.-Adv.

HIGHER SALARIES
ASKEDBYPAST0RS
AROUND DISTRICT
General Advance Will Place
Ministers of District on
Level With Others in M. E.
Conference.

Increased salary for every pastor IN
the district including Dr. Som ervllie
Light, the new superintendent, was
given hearty endorsement by the dis
trict stewards at their meeting dur
ing the annual session of the pastors
and stewards of the Richmond district
of the North Indiana Methodist Epis
copal conference which came 10 a
close yesterday afternoon in the First
NJ. E. church.
A general advance OF remuneration
was advocated to place the salaries OF
the Richmond district pastors more
nearly in accord with those OF pastors
in other districts OF Indiana. Inc SUI
perintendent's salary will be approx
imately $4,000 based on nine per cent
of the cash salaries OF the ministers
Ask More BenevoIences.
The recommendation of the stew
ards included a similar enthusiastic
endorsement Of an increase in benev
olences and this will be given con
sideration during the meetings OF the
First Quarterly conferences beginning
under the leadership of DR.. Light.
The purpose OF the stewards in en-
dorsing the proposal Of increase in
salaries, was based upon the belief
that more efficient services would be
secured.
The program for the afternoon
session consisted largely of addresses
by ministers regarding the new financ'
ial plan and its relation and value to
the Methodist church. The speakers
who discussed this subject were Z. S.
A. Bridge, R. C. CroXall, o. A. Trabue
and DR.. Light.
Other speakers were Leslie ]. Naftz-
ger who spoke on The New EVange-
listic Forward Movement for World
Methodism," and J. w. Zerbe whose
subject was, Richmond District and
Methodism's Worldwide Task

based on the true cash value instead
Of at forty, fifty and fifty-five per cent
the present rate Of assessment
Another suggestion made by Mr.
Bowman which has been talked and
wanted by private citizens, is the
exemption of household goods to a
reason amount which is $3.50 to $500
Mr. Bowman said.
There is no return from an invest
nient in household goods" said Mr.
Bowman, but there is the expense OF
depreciation, the insurance, repair and
other items Of expense. Then If this
exemption were made, the county
treasurer could consistently levy for
delinquency on such personal proper:
ty, a thing which public opinion does
not now permit because it probably
would work hardship on many whose
sole possession is household goods"
Tenure Of Office.
Mr.. Bowman recommended that
county treasurers be elected for a term
Of four years out Of eight instead OF
for two two-year terms out of eight
years. This would permit more Wig.
orous pursuit of the collection of taxes
remove the timidity such an officer
has in his first two years in office and
partially remove politics from the
office.
recommendation was made that
the county assessor, whose power now
is merely advisory. be placed in gen
eral supervision of assessment, that he
be a resident of the county and that
he work under the direction of the
state board of tax commissioners
would mean state control Of assess.
ment. Mr.. Bowman also recommend
ed that assessors be decreased in mum.
Der with increased territory, increased
length OF service and ligher pay.
Wants Special Assessors.
He recommended less power and
initiative Tor the individual assessor
and more for the so called higher pow
ers which are now possessed of no
more than advisory power. He recon.
mended that special assessors be hired
in large enough counties for the i'm,
portant classes of property, factories,
corporations, retail business and real
estate.
One of the most important changes
in the equalization plan, as recon-
men0ed by the county auditor, is in
the power of the state board to make
sweeping increases in certain local
tiles. Now empowered with the right
to increase only counties, hardships
are worked upon the smaller taxing
districts such as townships. Mr.. Bow
man recommended that the board be
authorized to increase assessments by
township as the county board Of re-
view now does.
Increase Classification.
Another plan Of making increases
was also suggested. Mr. Bowman said
in some cases, it is found that the
assessments on some specific class of
property is found generally lower than
the standard of assessment on other
classes, for instance, real estate, cor
porations, automobiles, horses, person
al property or other classes. He sug-
gested that the state board be author
lied to order increases by such CLASH
fication.
Many smaller weaknesses in the
state laws were pointed out, by the
auditor who testified for more than
an hour on the needs of Indiana for
assessment and collection.

TO STEAL TO LIVE

MINNEAPOLIS, May 26.-Caritable
residents of Minneapolis today were
trying to obtain funds to send Mr.. and
Mrs. Clyde Delaney, both "a years old,
to some place where the young hus-
band could receive treatment for tu-
berculosis.
The couple walked to Minneapolis
from Chicago, when the husband was
discharged from a restaurant where he
was chef. because of his illness. He
could not find employment here, and
when the last of their money was gone
Mrs. Delaney sold her hair. which
hung nearly to her knees, for $3.50.
This money was soon gone. and the
couple found employment on a farm
near here.
They were arrested accused of the

leased. The funds which were be-
ing raised today will be used to send
them to Colorado.
