Children Under Is E,
Must Attend School

Children of Indiana will be required to
attend school until they are sixteen
whether or not there is a high school in
the school corporation in which they re-
side, according to an opinion submitted
by U. 5. Lesh, attorney general of In
diana, to r. J. Burris, State superin-
tendent Of public instruction.
The ruling is contradictory to a deci-
sion given recently by Judge Clements
in the POsey Circuit Court in which a
charge Of violating the State law against
Henry b. knight was dismissed on the
ground that knights son, while under
sixteen and a graduate of the eighth
prade, was not attending high school be
cause there is 10 high school IN the cor
pOration in which he resides
Mr.. Lesh's opinion states that there is
nothing in the law to excuse a pupil from
attending school on account of the fact
that this corporation has no high school,
but that the pupil must attend high
school in some other corporation.

Kansas City Seeks
Exposition Secrets

The large record book of the activities
in promoting and carrying to a successful
finish the Indianapolis Industrial Expo
sition will be shipped to the Kansas City
Chamber of Commerce by John B. Reyn-
olds, general secretary of the Indian
apolis Chamber of Commerce, in answer
to an urgent request from that organi-
cation for complete information as to
how the manufacturers committee of the
indianapolis Chamber of Commerce han
died the exposition.
AS the book is three feet by four feet
by one foot in diameter, a special ship
ping case is being prepared for it. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Reynolds, the Chamber
values the volume at $1,000. The Kan
sas City Chamber will be allowed to keep
the book for ten days, when 1t is sched-
uled to be shipped back here to be re-

merce, which contemplates following the
example Of Indianapolis in staging en-

Judge G. NJ. Eberhart of Huntington
who has been selected to succeed
Frederick Van Nuys, United States dis
trict attorney, probably will spend
several weeks in the office Of the dis
trict attorney beginning about Dec. Il
familiarizing himself with the work OF
the office, according to statement made
today by Mr.. Van Mugs
Il understood that Judge Eberharts
court calendar runs until Dec. r. Mr..

he will take a few days to arrange some
personal affairs and that he expects to
come to Indianapolis about Dec. 10 to IA
miliarize himself with the duties of
the office he viii assume officially Jan.

According to the Federal Court
calendar no criminal cases are set for
trial before Judge Albert B. Anderson
after Dec. u, so it is hardly probable
that Judge Eberhart. will have an oppOr-
tunity to see Federal Court in operation
before he takes office.

GARFIELD PARK
SHELTER HOUSE
FINEST IN STATE
Structure of Attractive De
4 sign and Will Protect
$500 Persons.
READY FOR USE JAN. 1

Garfield Park, with its magnificent
gardens and beautiful, rolling scenery
will be further enhanced when the new
shelter house, erected at 4 cost of S63, 0OO
is opened about Jan. 1. Exterior work
was completed this week and the interior
will be finished within few weeks.
The building, which is 225 feet long by
forty five feet wide, contains facilities
which make it available the year around
as a community center, athletic club
house or park shelter. In case of sud
den summer shower $500 persons could
find refuge in it. 1t will be the finest
park shelter in the city and probably in
the whole State. Its construction came
as the result of several years of agitation
by people OF the south side.
STRUCTURE OF
COLONIAL DESIGN.
In design the structure is Colonial, be-
ing patterned after a photograph of an
old house in Georgetown, Va, taken by
James II. Lowry, superintendent Of
parks, several years ago. 1t has one
story and ~ basement with deep,
cOlumned porticos ON both faces.
The building lies lengthwise north and
south, few hundred feet from the pres
ent small pavilion. 1t overlooks the
Pleasant Run valley where the play
ground now is situated 1t is so placed
that it will be convenient for bathers
who use the swimming pool the park de-
partment plans to construct IN the valley
near the playground.
There are two wings in the building,
separated by large assembly room To-
Gated directly in the center. This room
is sixtyfive feet long fly forty-fve feet
wide. The floor is to be finished for
dancing. The room is intended for gen
eral shelter and community gathering
purposes. There are large fireplaces in
both ends.
Along the west side of the north wing.

THE CATHOLIC RELIGION
AND THE HOST OF HUMAN DEAD
r. sanhOpe yesterday Professor EschatolOgy,


After all the question of paramount
Importance, and the question that has
harassed and appalled, humanity
throughout almost 5000 years of his
tory Is, Where are the dead? 1t has
been specifically answered by the
proponents of various religious faiths
in one form or another of hopeless
superstition. Purest sophistry has
been resorted to and specious argu
ments have served to blind the
willingly receptive minds OF the be-
reaved of all ages into a credulous
acceptance of false comfort, so that
it has long been paradOxically true
that men believe death. the very
cause of which is a belief of separa-
ton from God. Life, to be the gate
way to the divine presence. Thus
people try to believe that the de-
parted loved ones are with their
Lord" Tin modern times we seldom
any more presume to cOnsign any to
the presence of his satanic majesty,
except it be facetiously) or that they
are "ip probationary state or that
they disport themselves 'in the spirit
world" Our friends of the Roman
Church are more logical when they

consign their dead to "purgatory"
and believe that prayer will help.
And all the time the simple truth
about the estate of the dead is patent
though appalling.
The Great Teacher, the man who
went into and through death and
came out of the grave in triumph in
the experience known as the Resur-
rection, taught so plainly, by precept
and by telling example, that the dead
are but asleep. On one occasion He
said, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth;
but l go that l may awake him out
Of sleep" He then went to the tomb
wherein lay the decomposed body of
Lazarus, commanded that the grave
be opened. and then called with q
loud voice" to the dead man within,
and the self same Lazarus, healed of
the decomposition of extreme disease
called death, walked forth whole again.
A careful study of the psychology in
volved as we'll as of the physiology
and anatomy incidently to be consid-

Hope of Immortality" logically sub

able contention for Immortality. The
essential fact must not be lost sight
of, however, that death is to be over
come in individual experience before
the ESTATE after death" can be expert
enced, and there Is nothing to indi-
cate that any who have died, with
the exception of the Man Christ Jesus,
has ever so overcome the last en-
emy," and we must therefore conclude
that the vast host of human dead are
still in the sleep of death in their
graves, awaiting the revivifying in
fluence of the benign atmosphere Of
spirituality which will ensue at the
second coming Of Christ, approximate
ly at the end of this century.
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, known as
the "DiseOverer and Founder Of
Christian Science" or Of the Science
Of Christianity, gives to the world
the only key to the solution Of the
great mystery OF Death and the
Resurrection in her published works
on Divine Metaphysics, and we will
continue our discussion of the sub
ject Of death later in the light of
some of her statements. In the mean
time we do solemnly call humanity
to repentance, for no man knows 1.-THE

In allied conferences when Ameri-
can ambassadors sit as observers
and merely report what is going
on without taking action that can
possibly commit the American gov

Power Limited.
Even official representation in
allied conferences wouldn't mean
commitment of the American gov
eminent. All the other prime min
listers and foreign ministers can
pledge their governments to courses
OF action but an American ambas-
sador can do no more than the
state department tells him to Go
and the state department can do no
more than congress permits when
anything looking toward expendi-
tare Of finds or military action is
involved.
The senate has refused to per-
NIT American representation on
European commissions because Of a
feeling that such action would lead
to the ratification of the treaty
which provides for such represent
attves. The president doesn't need
to appoint special representatives
! however. as he can use American
ambassadors who already have been
confirmed by the senate. Never.
theless, Mr.. Harding is inclined
to consult the senate and proceed

UNION STATEMENT

and all these concerns are under
the same financial control is alb
surdly untrue.
Even II they were under the
same control, this would not prove
that the railways pay excessive
prices, and indisputable facts re-
garding almost innumerable trans
actions Of the purchasing depart
ments Of the railways could be pre-
bented to show that they do not,
and have not, paid higher prices
than other purchasers Of the same
things.
1T is charged that the railways
have wasted immense sums by not
undermining" their locomotives.
Figures given by Mr.. Lauck him
self show, however, that improved
devices have been installed with
remarkable rapidity on locomotives
within the last 10 years. consider
ing the difficulties the railways
have had in raising capital for i'm
provements. The best measure Of
the increase in the service obtain
cd from locomotives is the average
trainload. In 1915 it was 1893 tons.
while in 1920 it was CAB tons, an
increase Of 81 per cent
Mr.. Lauck cites other alleged
wastes, which, even II proved to
exist, could be remedied only by
making great improvements involv-
ing the expenditure Of large
amounts Of new capital. This new
capital could be obtained only il
the railroads were enabled to make
enough operating income to pay q
return for it. The railways are
trying to increase their net oper-
ating income by reducing their ex-
cessive operating expenses. With
in recent months the prices Of ev-
erything the railways buy except
labor have been reduced.
Contradicts FaetA
1T Is claimed that while the
arrangements have been efficient,
the productive efficiency Of the
employees, as measured by the
amount of traffic handled per en-
ploye, has increased. This claim
Is in direct contradiction to the
facts. In 1915 the number of tor
miles Of freight handled per EN-.
ploye was 243.21S. and In 1917
ESQ., 1897. The latter was the high.
; est figure ever reached. In 1915
J The average ton miles per emplOyt
: was only 241,541 and in 1919 only
208,026. In 1920 it had increased
. 10 221,9 21. 1t declined under gov
eminent control, and increased I'M
der private operation in 1920, bu
even in 1920 was much less thar
that in 1916 or 1917.
"The railway managers are try.
, ing to effect every economy that 1,
practicable under present coidi
tons. They realize that II they
: could raise sufficient new capita
10 make needed improvements they
could effect very large economics
by reducing the amount Of labor
fuel and materials used. Until
however, they are allowed to carr
