Can This Skull Cap

"When the Creator had made all the
good things there was still some dirty
work for Him to do, so He made the
Beasts and Reptiles and Poisonous
Insects When He had finished He had
some scraps which were toe bad to
put in the Rattlesnake, Hyena, the
Scorpion and the Skunk, so He put all
these together, covered it with Jeal-
ousy, marked it with Yellow Streak
and called it a Knocker."

an advantage, as Coach Longely was
saving some of his best men for the
relay, who surely would have scored

counted towards the cup.

in the running of the mile, when the
judges declared dead heat between
Martens and Stein. One of them top
pied over in dead faint as he crossed
the line in the tie.
AS the score of 41-40 indicates, there

although the alumni was represented
by better built and better trained men,
they found the undergrads worthy op-
ponents.
The baseball game scheduled to be
played with the alumni was called in
the second inning because of rain.
The varsity baseball team defeated
the alumni team 9 to at the High

they scored five runs in the first in

GARVIN SURE OF
HIS CANDmACV

Mr.. Garvin told his audience that as a
result of the muddle over the Republican
candidate for city judge he claimed the
honor of being the candidate for Judge
In this election.
81 don't know who my opponent Is.
he said, 'and I left downtown thirty 1--WE
minutes ago. A lot Of things can happen
in Indianapolis in thirty five minutes.
don't know who my opponent is and
have no particular reason to care"
Mr.. Garvin was informed when he had
completed his speech that the Superior
Court had ruled against J. Herbert Hart
man. who received a plurality Of the votes
In the primary.
'sWelI 1t appears that I am to have an
axle grease salesman as my opponent"
was his comment.
Mr.. Baker In his talk pointed out that
Mr. Shank had promised cross-tOwn car
lines and better street car service and
that he had promised to stand against Ell
croachment on the part Of public utility
corporations. He said despite these
promises Mr.. Shank declared In the last
primary that he had been controlled by
public service corporations and stated
that the street car company had not a
string but a rope attached to him.
DISCUSS SHANK
AND PROMISES.
"Mr Shank admitted he had broken his
promises and betrayed the city into the
hands Of the public service corporation"
Mr.. Baker said. HE believes that =.
promise to the citizens is Of no force and
effect but that he cannot free himself
from a promise to a public service com
pany. A man who betrays US once will
betray US again"
Mr.. OrbisOn spoke largely on Mr..
ShsA KS record as mayor from 1910 until
he resigned In 1913. He said he was
preaching a sermon on two texts:
Weighed in the balance and found
wanting" and If a tree bear not good
fruit 1t shall be hewn down; wherefore,
by their fruits shall ye know them"
"a man who could not save the city
from disgrace eight years ago is not
worthy to be mayor now" he said.
He told of the circumstances surround
iEg the resignation Of Mr.. Shank under
fire and quoted newspaper stories con-
corning immoral conditions prevailing in
the city under the Shank administration
In speaking Of Mr.. Ralston, he declared
that the Democratic nominee, If elected
will help West Indianapolis to be a
part of the city Of Indianapolis He
declared that citizenship should be placed
before partisan consideration and that
Indianapolis should not be known as
a vaudeville center"
Mr.. Orbison said that while an argu-
ment for party regularity is being made
by the Republicans, Mr. shank has not al
ways been careful about his regularity
He said he was first a Republican, then
Independent, then a Democrat, and now
Republican.

grave danger to the little boat upon which Mrs
Webb depends for earning her salary in looking
after the light Having no one to help her, she.
herself, had TO protect her boat from the floating
ice and for many hours she had to take her position
on the boat, ard fend off the grinding ice foes,
which threatened the destruction of her property.
Although almost exhausted, she stood fast until fine
danger had passed, and that same night the light
was burning brightly in the spot near the danger
GUS bar, where it had burned continuously for 50
many years
Life in the Webb cottage must be pleasant
indeed, when Mr.. and Mrs. Webb are both at
home Mr.. Webb, however, being railroad man,
Is often away, and so two large dogs protect the
place in his absence There is plenty of work for
a good home-maker around the little cottage ior
Mrs. Webb keeps a COW, grows vegetables and
flowers, and keeps everything Spick and SPAN

taking her "John-boat" on a trip to town. where
she can do her shopping and perhaps drop In, f1
an hour or so, at the movies.

RAISTON GIVEN
WARM WELCOME
ON WEST SIDE
Tells Audience He Will Work
for Better Conditions
There.
ASKS SHANK TO EXPLAIN

II Will take the stink out Of West Indi-
annapolis if am elected" Boyd NJ.
Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor,
declared in a speech at River avenue
and Norris street last night. The can
6idats was greeted with q parade and
an enthusiastic demonstration on his In
vasion of territory claimed for Samuel
Lewis Shank. the Republican candidate.
There was every indication that all Of
the old Democratic spirit Of the Four
teer.h ward Is not dead
Mr.. Ralston recalled that in his pri-
mary campaign he promised the improve
ment Of conditions In West indianapolis
and he said he wished to assure the
voters that this premise will be carried
out.
PROMISES TO W0RK FOR
BETTER CONDITIONS.
81 will work 20 make conditions In West
Indianapolis better" he declared. 1.-The
obnoxious conditions here must be re-
moved. You need elevated tracks and
other improvements. These things shall
come to West Indianapolis. We shall
have those tracks as sooD as it is ex-
pedient under the laws governing track
elevation. Your sewers are not in the
proper condition and you do not have
proper street car service. These things
must be improved"
The candidate again protested against
accusations that as a real estate man he
is a rent prohteer, declaring that the
owners and not himself fix the rents. Mr..
Ralston also reiterated his statements
concerning the ordinance abolishing open
vaults and declared that he will arrange
a manner in which the cost of improve
ments made necessary under this ordi-
nance can be paid at long time loans.
In referring to Mr.. Shank, Mr.. RalSton
declared that II has been necessary for
the Republican nominees friends TO apol-
egize for him and he added that MT.
Shank himself has been deliberately tell
ing untruths in his campaign.
DEMANDS REAL REASON
FOR sHANK'S RESIGNATION.
Mr.. Ralston again demanded that Mr..
Shank give the real reason why he re-
signed as mayor eight years ago.
"If Mr.. Shank doesn't give his reasons
for resigning within the next few days,
arr going to ask Mrs. Healing and Mrs.
Ruckelshaus to explain what they were,
and II they don't explain, I'm going to
ask Sarah" he declared.
The speaker referred to statements of
women concerning Mr.. Shank's home life
and declared It is far more important
to study his political life.
Mr. Ralsten made a bid for Republican
voters, declaring he did not criticise the
Republican voters, for they are stock
holders in the city corporation the same
as the Democrats.
Other spea kers included Thomas r.
Garvin, Democratic nominee for city
fudge: Frank 2. Baker, former Marion
County prosecutor. and Charles J. Orbi-
son. who attained some fame during his
administration as prohibition agent by
dispensing 90 quarts Of whisky through

first lighthouse known to history.
Today there are so many lighthouses, all over
the world, that we have come to look on them as
commonplace and without much interest Only the
hardy mariner realizes their value as he strains his
eyes to look for the saving light through the storm
and fog.
In 1852, the Lighthouse Board of the u S. was
organized by Act of Congress, and the Lighthouse
Service of the United States Government is now
part of the Department of Commerce.
Mrs. Vernie Webb, lghkeeper at the conflu-
ence of tle Elk and Kanawha rivers, near Charles
ton, VIVA, is one of the comparatively few women
rghtkeepers in the employ of the u. S FioYen-
ment While on journey through this part of the
country, made the acquaintance of this interest
ing woman and learned many facts about her
work and daily life.
Some lighthouse keepers have to live In stern,
forb;dding, lonely structures, rising perhaps on
rock, out at sea, where fog almost continuously
obscures the view, while wind and storm render
the lonely spot true prison, place where strong
men have been known TO lose their minds; but this
little woman has pleasanter home, nestled on the
bank of the river, looking down on a neighborly
colony of Households clustered on the stream, in
a nearby nook, brightly painted, fitted with lace
curtains, comfortably furnished, and decorated
with flowers and supplied, in brief, with
all the comforts of more solidly built homes.
Into this coy little nest was cordially invited
by Mrs Webb and spent some pleasant hours of
bright, CHEEKY conversation with her, taking away
with me vivid remembrance of the personality of
one of the most earnest workers and conscientious
people with whom have ever come In contact
For II or II years, Mrs VERNE Webb, who
loves the river, has lived here in comfort and hap
piness, part of this time having been spent in one
of the pretty households. The beacon light that she
tends Is simple but serviceable, being composed of
