TRANS-0CEAN PLANE
PLEASES ITALIAN KING
(Rv Associated Press)

ROME, Dec. liking Victor EN-
manuel was keenly interested today
when he was told by Gianni Capronl,
the airplane inventor, of projected
giant plane which would carry 800 per
sons across the Atlantic in about 80
hours.
Plans for the machine are now be-
ing completed, and provisions are be-
ing made for dining and sleeping &C
commodations on board the aerial
liner A smaller sairplane designed by
Signor Caproni will make its first trial
trip in January near Lake Maggiore.
This airplane will be canable of car
rying 100 persons a distance of 500
miles, it is said.
Work on the transatlantic plane
will be started as soon as this smaller
liner has been tested. During his con-
versation with the king, Signor Cap
roni told him of his plan to return
to New York next spring and begin
the construction of a new airplane fac
tory near New York City. Several in
terviews between Signor Caproni and
Colonel James CLANCY, aerial attache
at the American embassy here, have
ben hid, and tn inventor has met other
officials of the embassy.

The Social Service Bureaus Report

The wide scope of the activity of the Social
Service Bureau, it daily executes it's mission of
thoughtful betterment of unfortunate men and
women, was revealed in report which was pub
lished a few days ago. One could see at glance
that the work of the bureau is comprehensive
one and yet so well organized that efficiency is
attained in the application of benevolent service
to those who need it.
The bureau has been in existence long enough
to Danish all thought of reverting to the old sys
tenn of indiscriminate charity which was admin
istered by the various agencies and overlooked
the indispensable factor of educating the recip
lent to become self-supporting unit of the social
structure.
Hand in hand with many of the departments
of the bureau goes an educational process which
tries to teach the individual how to avoid the
causes of poverty and to attain independence
Therein lies the real strength of any social serv
ice program. Unless it is able to reach unfortun-
ate men and women with a message that will in
duce them to forsake wrong methods of living
and to adopt those that lead upward, social serv-
ice defeats it's own purpose
This does not mean that the principle of
benevolence and kindness is relegated to the rear
and that every application of charity follows a
hard and fast rule. True charity appreciates the
agony of misfortune and grief, and relieves it
forthwith.
This phase of the bureaus activity is nicely
illustrated by a condition in the Whitewater
school, where undernourished children are sup
piled with milk at the morning and afternoon
recess The need of food for these children to
enable them to carry their schooling is recog-
nized by the bureau. and one of its commit
tees cooperating with the board of education, is
fulfilling a highly important mission.
Another phase of the varied activity of the
bureau is seen in the assistance and counsel
which it gave to former service men and their
families. Fifty veterans had occasion to consult
the bureau for services which it gives.
study of the report will furnish interesting
reading to persons who have doubted the salts

Peoples BANK URGED
BY OHIO ENGINEERS

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 14.-Brother-
hood of Locomotive Engineers mem
bers and officials OF the>new Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers Coop
erative National Bank here are trying
to interest members of the next Ohio
general assembly in legislation max
ing it possible for Ohioans to organ
ize peoples banks" patterned after
credit unions in New York, Massa-
chusetts and North Carolina.
The draft of a proposed uniform
law, creating peoples banks" has
been prepared by Walter F. McCaleb,
vice president and manager of the
brotherhood's bank, assisted by DR.. II.
Parker Willis. professor in Columbus
university and attached to the re-
search division of the federal reserve
board.
"a peoples bank or credit union is
cooperative organization formed
by a group of working people," Mr..
McCaleb said. Each member buys
shares, which usually are SO par
value, paying for them in cash or in
stallments. Thereafter he is free to
make deposits or to borrow from the
institution for emergency needs.
Personal credit is tho essence of
the proposed banks. Character is in
disputably the ultimate asset un whic n
banking credit rests, but the small Dor
rover, whatever his character, has
always had difficulty in approaching
the source of credit. The fault is not
with the banks, but with the credit
mechanism in general, which still is
but poorly developed"
Shareholders in the proposed banks
Mr. McCaleb explained, would deposit
their surplus funds periodically and
the earnings of the association would
come from interest paid by borrowing
, members and from such investments
as the association may make.

factory working of the system. 1t is surprising
to note how many phases of social work are dl-
rected and handled by this bureau, which IS
based on the principle of improving the city,
1t has been doing it's work quietly but ettec-
lively for many months The results which 1t
publishes from time to time in its reports speak
for themselves They tell of families that have
been educated to see the happiness that comes
from being self-supporting, of men and women
who have been helped out of temporary distress
and trouble, of children whose physical growth IS
being stimulated by proper food, of girls and
women who are learning the various duties OF
housekeeping and domestic economy.

The Municipal Christmas Tree

The municipal Christmas tree will again blaze
in holiday coors this year. The idea of having
Christmas tree originated a few years
ago in an eastern city, and was quickly copied
elsewhere Richmond being among the first lndi-
ana cities to follow suit.
1t will be a reminder to residents and visitors
that Christmas is a season of universal JOY and
happiness, in which all who will may partake.
1t may also call our attention to the appeal
which has been sounded for the relief of millions
of starving children in European countries.
Christmas will be bleak and dreary for them, not
because they lack toys and playthings, but be-
cause they are starving. A generous nation
should not overlook their plight.

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
THE REST DOESN'T MATTER

The other day my attention was
called to long article in prominent
Daper from a "critic" who didn't seem
to like these little Talks of mine at
all.
He said that as "literature" they
were far below mediocrity, and when
it came to style" they were vulgar
Well, when it comes to CHASING them
as literature, l suppose he is right,
for they are not written to be bound
in books that find places on shelves to
play hide and seek with dust and
time. These little Talks are written
soIely-to help people.
If they don't do this, they are not
worth appearing anywhere.
But when my unknown friend call
ed the style of these daily Talks 'vul-
gar" ! am sure l do not know what
he meant. C'Critics" are prone to
such TALK
After one of Henry Ward Beecher's
stirring sermons, man stepped up to
him and said: MIR. Beecher, did, you
know that you made grammatical
error in your sermon this morning.
ga grammatical error" exclaimed Mr.
Beecher, I'll bet my hat that l made
a dozen!"
And that is. the way I feel about
these brief Talks that you honor me
by reading from day to day. l do not
aspire to make them literary classics
want them to help you. l want them
to inspire you-to make you think.
want them to suggest something tC
you that will help to make your day
brighter and better.
If l am able to do this, l am sure
that the rest doesn't matter.
We are SO very much alike-we hui
mans. We like pats on the back.
Somehow life seems so much finel
when someone has told us that we
are able and helpful and worthy :
Try to get the spirit of these lit/i
Talks in this light, will you, please
Thank you!

Easthaven's Profitable Farm

The report of the state accountants showing
that the farm of the Eastern Indiana Hospital
for the Insane saved the state SAT Alb proves the
value of competent administration of public in
stitution. This was net profit to the state.
DR.. Smith has been the leader in many move
ments for the improvement of conditions in in
stitutions such is the one over which he
presides. The farm colony plan .wh ch has been
in operation at the institution for number OF
years marked distinct advance in the treat
ment of patients who were able to work. The
system was based on the theory that manual
work to engross the attention of the patient
would rebound to his mental welfare.
By careful and painstaking supervision of the
big institution which is under his care DIR. Smith,
according to the report of the accountants, has
been able to save the state large of money
without working hardship on the patients or
permitting necessary improvements to lag.

INDIRECT WAR THE WORST

They are asking for truce in the
Irish trouble, thereby admitting that
they are at war. When the trouble
started each side was going to ignore
the actions of the other. They were
too civilized to fight.
1t reminds me of the trouble be-
tween Jim Hopper and Bill Daniel
Starcher, the blacksmith on Half
Moon. Bill Daniels goats ate up Hup-
rer's turnips. Huper said: It's a
mighty cheap man that keeps flock
of goats in world where real men
keep CATTLE
Bill Daniel replied: ITS a cheap
man that doesn't build a real fence
around his turnipS.
Both men were "tol'able het up" by
these digs, but they were too civilized
to fight. SO Hopper smashed Bill
Daniels fish trap in Red river, and
pretended it was joke. Bill Daniel
took the taps off Hupper's wagon and
when Hopper started down the noun
tain the wheels came Off. the wagon
turned over and Hopper got broken
leg.
Hupper got hold of the piece of gas
pipe that Bill Daniel used in pokins
up his forge fire. Hopper filled it
with dynamite, and when Bill poked
the fire, his whole blacksmith shop
went up tire flue.
They had both got enough of this
indirect warfare. Where we made
cur mistake" they said, as they patch
ed I'D a truce, was in being too civil
lied to fight In a way we would have
only lost our dignity. This way we
lost a leg and blacksmith shop"
And so it is with England and Ire
land. If they hadn't been too civilized
to fight they wouldn't have committed
all these atrocities on each other.

Golden Sovereign is
Gone from Circulation
(By Associated Press.D

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE golden SOW
ereign has, almost vanished from circu-
lation in most parts of Great Britain
since paper currency has been issued,
but in the west of Wales gold is as
plentiful as it was before the war,
says the Daily Chronicle.
There the British sovereign causes
no surprise at all when change is CIV
en- and both the sovereign and the
half-sovereign are passed frequently
from hand to hand until the banks get
hold Of them.
With the exception of Spanish cur
rency, it is probable there is as high
a standard of gold currency in Wales
as in any part of Europe today. Welsh
farmers have earned big profits in the
last few years, and boarded them. It
is these boards of gold which are now
making their appearance.
