WHEN AN AMERICAN BORN
WOMEN CAN'T VOTE

When is an American born woman
a legal voter and when is she not a
legal voter?
sity of the recent election and which
caused many bitter argument at the
registration and voting places.
A woman born in the United States
who had married a on-citizen-Can-
adian, Scotchman, German or what
not-often found herself denied the
ballot while, following her into the
polls and accepted as a voter, might
have been foreign woman who had
lived in this country only year or
two and who could hardly speak a
straight English word
It appears that this is the law. pas
sed by Congress in 1907. A woman
becomes automatically what her hus-
band is. If he is an American citi-
zen and he marries her the day after
she lands in this country, she instant
ly becomes an American citizen and
can go from the altar to the polls. On
the other hand, an American woman
whose ancestors may have come over
in the Mayflower, and as a spinster
even may have voted one or more
times, becomes expatriated the in
slant she marries a recent arrival in
this land. If, for instance, he is a
Canadian, she Immediately becomes a
Canadian and has no right to vote in
her native country.
No doubt there are very good argu-
ments for this law, but surely it isn't
justice.
What do YOU think about it?

Alloy Stronger Than Steel.

An Italian engineer has discovered
new alloy of zinc and copper which
is stronger than steel and less cor
roSive than copper. says the Scientific
American. The most important charac-
terisiics of the new alloy, which has
been named BLACK Metal" are the
highest known breaking point, the high
est limit of elasticity, perfect homo
geneity and higher resistance TO both
heating and chemical action. II has
been stated that it can successfully be
cast. machined. rolled, forged. drawn
and stamped. II is expected that il
will prove an acceptable substitute for
steel. brass and aluminium.

He Knew Its Use.

An Indianapolis family a few years
ago took a boy from an orphanage.
Now. of course. everything at the new
home was different from the place he
had just left. Still he tried to make
himself at home and help all he could.
One day the woman Of the house
told her grown daughter to 60 up
stairs after a box. The orphanage
youngster offered 10 go instead But
you don't know where to find it,
protested the woman.
"Oh, yes. l do" the little boy in
sisted. He had gone TO her closet he
fore after things and had seen the
boxes. "They are in the little pantry
that you keep your clothes in"

describes the occurrence Of ground Ice
in that region and reviews the liter

By the burial Of river ice by sediments

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
THOUGHTFUL

l rise each morn at five o'clock, for
that seems good to me; but when
around my place l walk, I'm quiet as
can be. 1 know the folk who live
next door expect to sleep till nine;
they won't be bothered, as they snore,
by any act Of mine. They may be
sluggards, thus to sleep, when l am
wide awake, and I may think their
slumber deep a most profound mis-
take; and they may hold that I'm a
nut, whose flywheel backward goes,
because l roam around my hut when
other men repose. But while I do not
bother them, and they don't bother
me, our joint existence is gem, a
thing replete with glee. I used to rise
at five o'clock, just as I'm doing now;
and l would whistle, sing and talk,
and boiler at the COW. l wanted all
the world to know that 1 had left my
bed; and all the world would rise and
throw steel boot-jacks at my head. I
used to see the windows rise in all
the houses near, and angry men, with
drowsy eyes, would throw the knick-
knacks near. And bricks would hit
me as I sat beneath my tree and vine !;
they often spoiled my Sunday hat and
telescoped my spine. This happened
often and again, until my lid was
wrecked; and so / learned that other
men have rights l must respect

The Start of the $5oo,ooo Drive

Richmond and Wayne county began their
campaign to raise $500,0oo for Earham college
today.
This money is to be an endowment fund to
enable the institution to maintain its high scho-
astic standing, prevent annoying annual deficits,
give to it's finances stability, and to prove the
loyalty of the community to the college.
By public demonstration and Individual as
surances, the community has attested to it's SYM
pathy and support of the enterprise If the full
advantages accruing to Richmond from the pres
ence of Earlham college have been unappreciated
underestimated in the past, pleasant and
genial understanding of it's worth has been evil
denced in many ways lately.
The solicitors will receive warm welcome
wherever they go. The city wants Earham col
lege, and Earlham college wants the loyal and
enthusiastic support of Richmond.

To Help Nature Shed
a Bad Complexion

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic
over the rejuvenating qualities Of or
binary mercolized wax. Nothing dis
covered within recent years accom-
plishes so much. SO quickly, without
harm or in convenience. The prfn-
cipal reason for it's wonderful merit
is that it works in harmony with ply
Biological laws. Instead OF hiding
complexion defects, it removes them.
1t actually takes off the aged, faded,
sallow, freckled or blotchy surface
skin, gently and gradually. This is
Natures way of renewing compilations.
When the natural process is retarded
because Of defective circulation or
nerve tone, mercolized wax comes to
the rescue and hastens the skin she'd
ding. The new complexion which ap-
pears is natural one, youthful,
healthy, exquisitely beautiful. If
you've never tried mercolized wax, get
an ounce of it at the drugstore, use
nights like cold cream, washing it off
mornings-and have the surprise Of
your life!
Another natural identifying treat
ment for wrinkled SKINS to battle
the face in a lotion made by dissolv-
ing an ounce of powdered saxolite in
a half pint of witch hazel. This is

Home Rule for Cities
Oct. A..

The presence of Mayor Zimmerman in a sani-
tarium to take treatments points again to the
necessity of a drastic revision of the Indiana
laws pertaining to the government of NUM-
cipalities ~ a@a@
Richmond believes home rule for cities should
be made possible by legislative enactment at the
next session of the general assembly. Authority
would then be placed where it belongs-in the
hands of the electors.
Mayor Zimmerman has claim to his office
until the expiration of the period for which he
was elected unless he is removed by impeach-
n1ent proceedings before that date. An immedi-
ate change from present conditions to another
form of city government is impossible.
Sentiment here and elsewhere has been thor
oughly aroused in behalf of home rule. Indiana
cities want change. The legislature has the
right to give it to them That body should not
delay long in passing bill.
Indiana cities also want good home rule bill
They know that some home rule measures are as
niquitous as is the present system But there
have been enough measures of this kind enacted
into law to enable the Indiana solons to elimin-
ate Objectionable features and to incorporate
sound and wholesome principles.

Answers to Questions

Reader-Who was Mrs. Grundy, or
was there ever Mrs. Grundy? How
did her name become associated with
gossip?-"Mrs. Grundy" is just
mythical person whose opinions on
social topics are deemed of such i'm
portance that when anything unusual
happens in society the question is
asked: What will Mrs. Grundy say?"
In Thomas Morton's popular comedy,
Speed the Plow", which was original
ly produced Feb. s, 1898, at Covent
Garden, London, there is reference
to Mrs. Grumpy. although she is not one
Of the characters in the play. The al
fusion is to farmers wife and a near
neighbor to Dame Ashfield. also a
farmers wife, who is jealous OF the
good fortune of the Grundys. In the
play she says to her husband: "If our
Nellie were to marry a great baronet.
| I wonder what Mrs. Grundy would
say?" To which her husband replies:
why don't thee let Mrs. Grundy
alone? I do verify think when thee
goest to t'other world the vurst thee'll
ax'll be if Mrs. Grundy's there" 1t
has also been said that the use of the
phrase followed the appearance in
Washington of Felix Grundy and his
wife. Grundy was first a member OF
the House of Representatives and then
a United States Senator. He was a
loyal supporter of President Jackson
and an opponent of Henry Clay. His
wife became leader of the social sci
and her opinion naturally carried grea,
weight. Hence arose the comment or
any particular occurrence of What
will Mrs Grundy say?" However, the
first account Of the origin Of the query
is probably the correct one.

TO BE SPIRITUALLY RICH


The person who is spiritually rich
doesn't have to worry about posses
sions.
What is 1t to be spiritually rich?
Well. IN the first place, it is to appre~
ciate life and the chance to be and do
Not FOR gain-but TO gain.
The fine and dominant characters Of
the world have always been those
with minds set upon spiritual things
such as adding beauty and gladness to
barrenness and unhappiness to go
out of the way for the other fellow
and count it a grand privilege-to see
the God in everything, and good in
the midst Of wrong.
The one who daily comes through
who does the normal, natural best
that is in him, taking the bitter with
the sweets hourly on the road to
spiritual wealth.
He who stands unself1shly by while
the storm is on, and then moves with
quiet concern to the places where
there IS need, while everything looks
bright about him, is building a struc-
ture more grand than the finest tenn
pie. You can open the doors of such
a life at any time and there view real
serenity of soul.
You don't have to be rich in money
or fame or in anything material to be
spiritually rich. This is the kind OF
wealth that grows inside mana
we'll of water springing up into eternal
life"
The boy who blacks your boots may
be very rich this way-or the one who
drives your car. You see, the sphere
of the spirit is no respecter of persons
in any way, shape Or manner.
Your spiritual wealth may be kept
