throughout the State, which viii result
in a larger attendance of out-of town

improvement, above all others, was goin z

before the elevation Of the railroad

Shelby street were not opened at once
the elevation might block such move
ment for all time.
A day Of hearing was fixed and a dele
cation OF south siders. happy in the
thought that the board Of works actually
was going to do something that the south
side citizens desired. attended.
A delegation Of manufacturers with
factories in or near the district through
which Shelby street would be cut also
attended. They objected to the improve
ment on the ground that II would make
1t impossible for them to have switches
into their plants after the tracks
we're elevated. Much TO the surprise Of
the south siders the board postponed
final action to take under consideration
the objections.
Another hearing was set and the south
siders who attended this discovered they
faced another serious set back.

STATE TO SEND CROWDS
By HARRY X. sroRMoNT.

1.-THE sound Of the saw and hammer
are heard in our midst"
Who remembers when the country edi-
tor used to print the above local in
his columns regularly every spring?
This was the "eds" way Of telling his
little world that spring activity in the
building lines had been resumed in his
community. The led" wasn't very To-
quacious about it. He didn't go into
details. but rather left lot to the mag
nation.
He more than likely had to stick"
his own type and this was a tedious
process at best, and he had little time
to pad or fill. His conception was that
this told the story-business was re
Stunning and the carpenters were hustling
up new houses, new sheds or whatnot.
Nowadays the matter OF resumption of
business is more important news, espe-
cially since business in general has been
more or less playing 'pOssum or doing
the grounding act OF crawling in hole
and pulling the hole in after it
That longed-for general resumption of
activity is 'in our midst" once more,
and it is only just to state that it is
the buzz Of the automobile men which
typifes this renewal of activity in bust
ness.
Particularly is this true in Hoosier-
dom. with the members Of the Indian
apolis Automobile Trade Association get
ting into high" with the final details
Of their spring automobile show to be
held in the big exhibition building at
the State fairgrounds March 7-12, day
and night.

BIBLICAL SENTIMENT.

Faith without works Is vain" Quoth
the staff correspondent to the Ephesians
or some of the other old timers in the
Good Book-and the / A. T. A. fully i'll
dorses that sentiment by action Of the
Iiveliest kind and backed up by good
hard dollars TO boot. The works" they
are. putting forth will take the form OF
a greater display of motor cars. trucks
and accessories than ever before st
tempted in Indianapolis, surrounded by
decorations more elaborate by many
thousands Of dollars and illumination OF
the same caliber to make the night
shows more brilliant than ever before.
The automobile activities also include
statewide advertising such as never he
fore attempted and a greatly increased
appropriation for newspaper space gen
orally.
These automobile men are not figuring
on throwing away their hard earned
lucre. They are full of fighting spirit,
and 1921 will reward lighters accord
ing to the Chicago Tribune's very apt
business slogan. The auto men feel 1t in
their bones that there will be a reward,
that the reaction shown TO other big
automobile shows in the country held
this spring will follow the Indianapolis
show just rs truly as night follows day.
That react has been orders in guam
tity; and besides. prospects galore have
been obtained for future dotted line
action

DRY FORCES
REDUCED HALF
------------
Bootleggers Cheerful;
Anti-Saloon League
Pessinistic.

Washington, May 1S.-Federal pro-
hibition forces will be reduced more
taan two thirds for period of 40 days
beginning Friday because Of lack of
funds with which to pay them. In
making this announcement Wednesday,
Commissioner Kramer said it was OBJ
vious that the government could not
proceed to a rigid enforcement of the
dry laws with staff 80 depleted, but
that he was hopeful that there would
be little increase in illegal liquor traffic
Anti saloon league officials were not
SO optimistic. Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel for the league. de-
clared that "a large increase in liquor
lawlessness was to be expected to fol-
low reduction of the federal enforce
ment agents from 1000 to 500. He
said it was "very foolish and bad
policy. Congress. he added, "can yet
right the wrong if they will do So"
Commissioner Kramer said that of
the 500 men who would remain in his
force after Friday, only $50 were ac-
tual enforcement officers, the others
being office clerks. he said that in
February the treasury asked congress
for deficiency appropriation of ST.
100000. but received only 81 100000.
The 100000 denied by congress, he
said, had to be saved. and the only way
was to cut the staff. When the ap-
proprfations for the next fiscal year
are available on July 1, he added, how
ever. an even stronger prohibition force
could be built up, as the new allotment
Of $7.5OO,OOO was greater than formerly
given the bureau.

Premier Lloyd George and Premier
BRAND are debating the Silesian stu.
alton through the newspapers and the
strong words they are using is creatins
great stir in England. II :,
Apparently each has chosen. the plan

most effective against his opponent
NJ. BRAND will have the next word in

there is great interest in London wheth-
er he will maintain the same high KEY
of controversy which Mr.. Lloyd George
started upon in his recent speech In
the house of commons.
The prime minister's unexnected
statement Wednesday is popularly in
terpreted as a warning to M. BRAND
not to go too far in his pronOuncement
before the chamber of deputies.
1t is possible that the meeting Of the
supreme council to consider the 0ues-
ton Of Upper Silesia may be post
poned few days beyond the week end,
chiefly due to the shortness of the in
teryal between the assembly Thursday
of the French parliament, before which
Premier BRAND will make an import
ant speech, and the tentative data for
the council conference.
