early!
If you want to buy a bargain in
the form of a complete manufacture
ing plant or an entire shipyard or
q drydock or a ship or a half-built
ship, or anything ranging from
monster cranes down to scrap metal,
get in touch with the United States
Board Emergency Fleet Corporation.
The material which will be sold
at stations throughout the country
at some future date. comprises an
accumulation resulting from the ex-
tensive war activities, and is avail
able now because of the adoption of
the restricted shipbuilding program.
Industries especially interested in
the sales are chiefly the shipbuild-

WOULD ABOLISH
SCRIPT WRITING
London Plan Is to Replace 1t
With the Print
Style

London, July 9.-To abolish script
writing and replace it by print
writing is the purpose of an infiu-
entially supported movement begun
in this country. Advocates of the
change contend that the present sys-
tenn fails to stand the test of COM
mercial life in England and causes
a great loss of time and labor.
The characters used in the pro-
posed system are the ordinary
printed letters. known as Roman
block letters, with the exception OF
the "a" and "g'' which are simpli-
fed into their script forms. The
print characters were employed by
monks long before scriptwriting
came into fashion and can still be
seen in ancient manuscripts from
which, in fact, they were first copied
by the printer.
Advocates of ~printwriting claim
1t possesses many advantages over
ordinary handwriting, especially to
the teacher that. the same charac-
ters being employed both for writing
and reading, the child learns much
more quickly, n it is further as
serted that his spelling and his edu-
cation as a whole are correspond
ingly benefited.
Many British educational author
tiles favor ~printwriting n 1t is
taught in numerous British SCHOOLS
No time is wasted in the new system
on innumerable Jennings. Superhu-
GUS loops and Furnishings are aool-
ished.
One big London firm has adopted
the system and other concern are
said to be considering its USE.

The "Peace Hat" Now
Offered to London Men

London, July s.-The Peace Hat"
is a new kind of headgear about to
be offered to London men. Mystery
wells its shape and material and
hatters thus far have managed to
keep the secret strictly guarded, but
they have limited enough about a
revolution in mems head covering
to stir up a lot of curiosity.
Men are tired of the old time
honored bowlers (derbies), toppers,
straws and Homburgs," said one
haberdasher, land they want some
thing new. The need is urgent for
a new hat-the Peace Hat"
A London milliner said she favor
ed an innovation.
It's quite time" said she. MEMS
hats at present are undoubtedly the
dullest things in life."

FOOD RULE IS

INDIANAPOLIS,I Ind. Jan. S-"Somc
food dealers seem to have the impress
sion that all restrictions and regula'
lions of the United States Food Ad-
ministration have been Withdrawn.
Such, however. is not the case.
said Dr. Harry E. Barnard. federal
food administrator for Indiana today.
so long as the food control bill is
in force, and that is until II Is with
drawn by executive order OF the pres
ident or when peace is proclaimed.
certain very definite limitations are
provided and the only modification
Of it is possible through the presidents
decision that the operation of the law
is not needed. Up to this time there
has been no such action Of the presi-
dent in that direction.
Il want to give notice at this time
that the authority vested in the food
administration to investigate all licens-
ed dealers, to the end that they keep
within permissible annual net earn
| ings, will be adhered to. We will
make investigations and where the
circumstances seem to warrant re-
quire that the dealers give figures
showing their margins. The penalties
for taking excessive profits are just
as certain as they were at any time
since food contol began.
"A well known and clearly defined
rule of the administration limits the
| wholesalers Of food to four per cent
| on their gross sales and limits the re-
| tailers to six per cent. These dealers
are licensed, and can do business only
by virtue of this license The food
administration desires to avoid the ne
cessity of closing up any establish
ments, but this penalty is inevitable

The late Theodore Roosevelt in his
roughriding days, as a big game
hunter in Africa, and the most re-
cent photo Of him.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-(SpeciaD-
Probably nothing concerning the
death Of ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt surprised the world more
than the fact that he passed on while
peacefully sleeping.
The whole life history of Teddy"
was a story of fighting overcoming
odds with will power that was in
domitable. His late years especially
were a series of battles to keep his
health. Operations on his ears and
his throat, drastic measures to drive
out the sciatica rheumatism which
finally brought the end, failed to halt
him. Theodore Roosevelt had the
most eventful career of any man who
has ever figured in the nations his
tory.
Here are the high spots in his life
history. They tell graphically of the
wide range of his activities.
He was born in New York City
October ~, 1858.
In his early Loyhood he was sickly
was forced to seek the country air
to relieve his suffering from asthma.
Made trips to Europe with his par
ents when he was ten and fourteen.
Studied under tutors until he en-
tered Harvard at eighteen. Gradual
ed in 1880.
Entered politics as member of
Twenty first District Republican as
ISOLATION in New York City.
Spent three years in assembly and
then refused nomination and de-
cided to become a western ranchman.
Mother and first wife died within
a few hours of each other in February,
1884
Became deputy sheriff in Dakota.
Lost race for mayor of New York
in 1886
Became civil service commissioner
in 1889 Served six years under Pres
idents Harrison and Cleveland. Helped
obtain beneficial civil service laws.
Became police commissioner of

The General Assembly

The Forthcoming session of the General As
sembly will have an important effect on the
future of Indiana, for the attitude which the Leg
isature takes on some of the vital problems that
are pressing for solution will be of more than
passing significance. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that the General Assembly will for once in its
history surprise the state by quickly sweeping
aside consideration of bills that have only local
significance and devote most of its time to the
really vital measures that are to come before it.
The statute books are cluttered with amend
ments to laws, inserted by legislatures at the re-
quest of a member who seeks to crafty the whim
Of constituent. Purely local matters, such as
laws pertaining to bitches, drainage systems, and
other matters that may be of great interest to
one county but not to another one in Indiana, take
up the time of the legislators to the neglect for
instance of consideration of problems of taxa
ton, state finance, administration of our public
institutions, the primary law and registration
laws, the supervision and regulation of our utili-
ties whether municipality or privately owned, pub
lie education from the primary grades to the uni
versities, the improvement Of our city govern
ments the necessity Of revamping our state con-
stitution to permit the introduction of modern
methods of governmental administration.
The 1919 General Assembly could make itself
the most remarkable legislature of our state his
tory by announcing on its opening day that it
would devote no time to petty and paltry bills
but would resoutey undertake a study and solu-
ton of measures that would give Indiana better
government based on laws scientifically drawn
up to meet the conditions of the year 1919. We
have enough laws on our books now without hay
ing to expect the General Assembly to add be-
tween 200 and 800 at this session. Better by far
that the state legislators take up two or three
comprehensive measures and enact their findings
into law than jam 100 bills through the two
houses for the governors signature

While waiting for train home
from the city one night Jones grew
restless and looked about for some
thing interesting. His eye fell upon a
