Origin ot Felt.

Many centuries ago poor monk was compelled to travel upon a long and arduous journey. His road was rocky, his sandals were worn, and he suffered agonies as he trudged grimly upon his holy errand. One day as he sat by the wayside resting a sheep came up to him. bleating in the most friendly fashion. The good monk pet ted the sheep and was grateful for its dumb friendliness. when suddenly he had an inspiration. He took out his sheath knife. sheared two handfuls of wool from the sheep and placed one in the heel of either sandal. That afternoon as he trudged along his feet seemed light. his step springy. The wool took the jar from his spine, the impact of the stony road from his aching, swollen feet.
 The next morning as he started out he thought to rearrange the wool pad ding and discovered that the friction and the movement of his feet in the sandals had reduced the wool to a sort of cloth. Thus was discovered felt, which to this day is one of the most effective suMtances ever discovered for padding purposes.

Marines and Their Fingers.

Men with long. tapering piano fin gers are apt to desert after short serv- ice. while those having stubby digits. denoting stability of character and ut ter lack of the artistic temperament. usually stand by their oaths and make the best marines. according to finger print experts at headquarters of the United States marine corps. Although assertions from the corps are light at all times. it has been found that ac- tors. sign writers and, strange to say. walters furnish the largest number of deserters. Records, including finger prints, of all men enlisted in the ma rine corps are kept at headquarters for purposes of Identification. and there are cases on record where bodies with finger tips intact have been positively identified through the finger print me dium.

How Saceharin Was Discovered.

Saccharin is the most valuable sub- stitute for sugar we know. Yet it. like many other present day inven- tions, had a rather unlikely beginning It can be taken with impunity by dia- bette patients, to whom ordinary sugar is death, and it is many times sweeter than that commodity. And. strangely enough, it has only been known to science since 1887.
 That year Dr. Fahlberg was employ ed upon the all important subject Of coal tar derivatives at the Johns Hop kins university. Sitting one evening at tea, he was surprised to find how sweet his bread and butter tasted. He traced the sweetness to his fingers. then to his coat sleeves and finally to one of the bowls of derivatives in his laboratory. Experiments upon himself and animals proved alike the harmless ness of the compound and it's extreme sweetness. And saccharin was dis covered" ."-Exchange.

LEVEL BRIDGE
men TO FIGHT
REPORT MADE
BY ENGINEER
Lindemuth Indicates Opposi-
ton Policy to Be Formed
at Meeting to Be Called
Soon.

Report of James l.. Harrington on
the Main street bridge problem will
not be accepted as final by the level
bridge faction of the recent bridge
controversy.
In his correspondence with Mr.. Har-
rington, F. l. Cabell, chief engineer of
the c. & o. railroad declined to state
definitely the company's attitude on
the change of grade proposition.
Therefore, Mr.. Harrington based his
report on the assumption that the
railroad would not permit it's grade to
be changed enough to accommodate
the erection of level structure.
A. C. Lindemuth, attorney for the
level bridge advocates, said today that
Mr.. HarTingtpn's report contains moth
ing that the citizens of Richmond do
not already know
Will Call Meeting. f
A meeting OF the level bridge men
will probably be called within a few
days to consider the report" said Mr..
Lindemuth today 1--WE will consider
carefully the advisability of the coun-
ty making the proposition to the rail-
road that it will stand the expense of
the change of grade necessary to
make the railroad grade suitable for
the erection of level bridge"
Mr.. Lindemuth said that the level
bridge men would also consider the
possibility of the c. & O. railroad be-
ing forced to alter it's grade by order
of the public utilities commission.
Harrington expresses the opinion
that the railroad could not be forced
to change it's grade.
All factions of the bridge contro-
versy had pledged themselves to
abide by the Harrington report The
level bridge men claim that they are
not bound to abide by the pledge be-
cause the report was not based on a
definite reply from the railroad.
The commissioners favor accepting
the reply of Harrington as final and
will probably not grant any requests
which call for further expenditure of
money or for longer delay

1877 CONVENTION
ON CONSTITUTION

Walter McConaha of this city, who
represents Wayne county In the state
senate, today expressed approval of
Governor Ralston's decision to recon-
mend to the 1917 legislature, when 1t
convenes in January, the adoption OF
a resolution calling for convention
for the purpose Of revising the state
constitution.
Senator McConaha had first been
informed that the governor intended
calling a special session Of the legis-
lature some time before the first OF
next year for the purpose of author
izing the calling of state constitu-
tional convention, plan which he
did not approve Of because, he said,
this question could be left to the new
ly elected legislature.
Approves Of Plan.
~ understand now that Governor
Ralston has no intention OF calling
n special session OF the legislature
and that he contemplates recommend
ing the calling of constitutional con-
vention in the message he will send to
the 1917 legislature. Such action on
the part of the governor would meet
with my entire approval Senator
McConaha said
Senator McConaha says that the
present constitution of Indiana Is not
"up.to-date" and stands in need OF
modernization.
"As I understand it Governor-elect
Goodrich, who assumes office about
n week after the convening OF the leg
islature favors a revision Of the con-
stitution as much as does Governor
Ralston and would not be surprised
If the next legislature decided to call
a constitutional convention the SEN
ator said
viii Elect Delegates.
In the event constitutional con-
yention is called the various counties
In the state would elect their delegates
to the convention. Political leaders in
Wayne county were predicting the
election of a convention delegate from
this county would center about the
temperance question. ..-..
"Of course one Of the principal am
endments which would be considered
at the constitutional convention would
call for statewide prohibition and 1t
quite probably would be the paramount
. question before the convention" said
a Richmond politician today. u pre-
sumo that Wayne county candidates
for delegate to the convention would
have to place themselves seuarely on
record on the prohibition question"

BERLIN, Nov. II, via London, Nov.
lS.-The movement for peace negotia-
tions, according to reports from "the
Swiss frontier" which were printed
by the Koelnische Zeitung, Is about
to assume definite shape In the form
of joint call from various neutral
governments to the belligerents ask
ing them to send delegates to a peace
conference.
The reports assert that several Eu-
ropean neutrals are already in touch
with the American government and
that various belligerents have been
sounded on the proposition Of con-
ference.
According to this story the confer
ence would necessarily open its sit
tings without an armistice being pro-
coming only after it was established,
that the negotiations were apt to be
crowned with success.
In authoritative official circles here
It is stated that no facts are known
upon which the Koelnische Zeitung's
story could be based while 1t is con-
sidered not impossible that neutral
governments may be considering some
such step. @H

GRADE OF TRACK
Engineer Of Corporation Re-
ports to ]. L. Harrington,
Bridge Expert Employed
by County.

In part, the reply of F. l. Cabell,
chief engineer of the c. & o. railroad,
to the inquiries of J. L. Harrington,
Kansas City bridge expert, relative to
changes in the ccmpany's tracks
through Richmond which would be
necessary to alter bridges follows:
Relative to the bridge at Main
street, We understand that the county
commissioners have decided to re-
place the highway bridge at Main
street on its present grade, which will
not affect the C. & o. tracks. (This
was based on the action of the COM
missioners in asking for an appropria-
tion for slanting bridge at the Sep
tember session. The letter was dated
November s. 1850
Regarding the proposed bridge at
North D street, it would be an expen-
sive proposition to eliminate the grade
crossing at this point, and in view of
the fact that we can operate at a
slow rate of speed at this crossing,
due to the nearness of the station, we
would not feel justified in expending
the money. You will please note that
the grade on the connection between
the c. & O. and the p, c., c. & St. l..
is already excessive"
Mr.. Harrington in his letter to the
railroad had pointed out that in low
ering the tracks so that level Main
street bridge could be erected, the
dangerous crossing at the east end
of the Doran could be eliminated.

1t is cheaper, especially in the case OF

PENNY TIPS
FROM CITY INSPECTOR

Here are two more "penny-saving'
tips for housewives from their friend
the city food inspector, George Nc
Kinley, tips which are useful during
this period of high living costs.
Tip No. When you buy lard bring
your bucket with you. If you buy lard
already in a five-pound bucket you lose
four cents. The bucket weight is
counted in by the dealer as a part of
the lard weight. Such bucket weighs
approximately half pound and lard
now sells for Is cents pound The
dealer only reimburses you five cents
for each empty bucket. A five-pound
bucket is equivalent to half pound of
lard, and half pound of lard is worth
8 cents. You only are reimbursed
cents for empty bucket returned to the
dealer, so the net loss is cents.
Tip No. 2-When you buy apples do
not buy sights unsen" unless you are
willing to receive a goodly number of
rotten apples.

Industry has supplanted the auto
mobile show in Richmond and with
every part of the old Rumley plant
occupied this year by scores of work
men. it is doubtful if a repetition of
last years success can be given.
When the automobile show closed
it was expected that there would be
such a demand for another automo-
bile show that it could be given with
out great difficulty. But apparently
there was only one suitable building
in the city for a show of such mag
nitude in the winter, and it has been
converted into foundry.
Members of the committee which ar
ranged the show last winter have not
