WILLIAMS SECRETARY
OF STATE COMMITTEE

c. o. Williams, superintendent of
schools in Wayne county. was ap-
pointed secretary of a committee to
meet with special constitutional
convention of teachers of Indiana
State Teachers association some time
in March, at a meeting of teachers in
Indianapolis, Saturday.
During the past meetings of the
Teachers Federation in Indiana, it
has become apparent that there are
too many teachers present at the con-
vention to make it as personal as
planned. This large body of teachers
is unwieldly and defeats the purpose
of the state meetings. In order to
make changes it is necessary to
change the constitution of the associa-
ton. 1t is for this purpose that the
meeting was held Saturday, and per-
sons appointed on committees.
H. l.. Smith, of Indiana university,
was selected permanent chairman of
The convention. Mr.. Smith also was
chosen chairman to consider changes;
it is this committee to which Mr. Will
liams was selected secretary. Two
persons were selected to represent
each congressional district.
Although it is not known just what
constitution will be, it is believed that
those in charge are considering divid
ing the convention of teachers into
two parts; those of graded schools and
those of high schools.

hoard, stated that he had been ap-
preached by different individuals in

had talked to him about the city fur
nishing the site for the building.

ing the offering Of the market space.
He stated that the old building there
now was an eye-sore, and that a new
one should be erected which would
provide facilities for public gatherings
and act as community center. He
stated that farmers would be interest
ed in this as it was one of the oldest
congregating places in the city, being
near feed barns and stores
1t was stated that the county had
power to issue bonds to meet their
part of the expenses of the build
ing.
Government Pays Half.
Plans now in operation provide for
the government to furnish half the
money for the building if the city and
county furnish the other half. These
armories are provided with an assem-
bly, room large enough for the drilling
of a company, gymnasium, showers,
lockers. reading rooms, pool rooms
and athletic equipment, it was stated.
II suitable arrangements between the
city, county and government can be
made, local men expect the armory to
be built here within the near future,
providing the guard company is re-
cruited.

100000 PERSONS ARE ON
THE GOVERNMENT PAYROLL
Congressman Flags Waste and Scores
Duplication of Effort.

LINCOLN, Neb.-Congressman {.
F. Reavis, of Nebraska attacked what
he termed the inefficiency of the led
eral government in an address today
before a joint session of the legisla-
ture. He charged that government bu-
reaus, boards and commissions have
been piled up on each other at Wash
ington until there now exists a COM
plexity and duplication OF official ma
chnery with total of 100000 persons
on the federal payroll throughout the
country.
Congressman Reavis told the Ne
braska legislature what was being
done under congressional iniative to
eliminate tremendous ineficiency and
waste of the system, which he said
has burdened the backs of the Ameri-
can people to an extent unprecedented
in the history of the world
1--WE can save the people OF the
United States $1,000,000 day by
wedding out the overlapping and use
less activities" Congressman Reavis
declared, "if the program that is being
worked out by a joint congressional
committee of the senate and house is
adopted"

ISLAND OF YAP is
KEY TO THE ORIENT
TINY SPOT IN PACIFIC is SUB
IECT INTERNATIONAL DE-
BATE. MANDATE TO JAPS.

The controversy between the Unit
ed States and the council of the league
OF nations resulting from the mandate
given to Japan over the island of zap
brings before the public another one
of those little known spots discovered
at times to be of tremendous strategic
importance,
The league of nations, attempting
to include zap in the group OF former
German islands over which Japan is
given the mandate, has been rebutted
by strong note from the state de
partment at Washington. The Ameri-
can contention is that zap must be
internationalized The island is located
directly east of the Philippine islands
and southwest Of Hawaii
Communication Key to Orient.
The islands greatest importance is
that it is a link in the communication
chain with the Orient. 1t has a strate-
gic importance in that it lies not far
south of the direct line from Guam,
the American Coaling station, and
Manila, 1900 miles away.
One OF three cables landing at zap
comes from Guam. The three cables
are the only means of communication
with the Orient, if the other lines fail.
Bound to Support Japan,
By the terms of secret treaty made
before the United States entered the
world war England was bound to sup
port Japan's claims for all the Ger
man islands north of the equator, pro-
vided Japan supported Australia's
claims for German islands south of
the equator The treaty has not been
recognized by the United States.
The military Importance Of the little
island is unmistakable, according to
Washington officials. zap stands at the
gate of the Philippines and the Orient.
Americas route to the Philippines lies
200 miles from San Francisco to
Hawaii, 1887 miles from Honolulu to
Guam and then 1900 miles to Manila.
zap stands half way between the two
last ports. AS a Japanese naval base
it would seriously menace both Guam
and the Philippines the American ma
val experts believe.

NO "LOvE AT FIRST
SIGHT," HE ASSERTS
WHAT'S MORE, NO FORMULA
FOR WINNING LOVE. BEAU
TY NOT INDISPENSABLE.
By Roger Batchelder.

There's no such thing as love at
first sigh Love just happens
There is no formula for making
love"
Beauty is not Indispensable"
Those are the maXims for lovers
formulated by DR.. Halbert H. Britain,
professor OF philosophy at Bates col
lege, Maine, who has just attacked
problems OF the heart from a scientific
point OF view.
The principal reason why people
fall in love is because they are so con-
stituted, both mentally and physically,
that it is the normal thing to do" he
declares There are two aspects to the
question-the mental susceptibility Of
individual and the stimulus that calls
forth the mental reaction"
According to the professor, the
awakening Of true affection is like the
preparing and combustion of high
power explosives. In other words, one
must tread softly and use extreme
care lest the entire affair go up in
smoke. All unsuccessful lovers will
probably agree with that; for many
no doubt, have walked into the arena
of love with spiked shoes and found
themselves some distance outside
shortly afterward, wondering what
had happened.
In love" DR.. Britain continues
scientifically, though not graphically,
nature has prepared the elements,
combined them through countless
years, and guarantees the result when
some vision of loneliness, some heroic
deed, or some insignificant word or
act unlocks the storedup energy OF
the emotional life"
There is no such thing as love at
first sight, he declares. Moreover, and
this is the sad part of it, there is not
one single formula for arousing love.
A beautiful face by no means has the
power often assigned to it. It is by no
means indispensable, nor does it add
to the intensity of the affection tclt for
its owner. In man beauty is almost
wholly subordinate to other attrac
tons"
That news must be indeed cheering
to the maid who is not SO Comely as
her sisters, She needn't worry a bit
more about it; she can get the right
man without a pretty face.
hardly serve to focus attention and
awaken interest; after 80 the sediment
of prolonged experience has settled
over the instinct and often so solidifed
ii that top tools will seldom suffice to
break through to the mountaineering
stratum OF human nature, After that
age falling in love is no longer mat
ter of instinct. Common sense, good
judgment truer perspective OF life,
tend to discount the enthusiasm of
loves young dream and demand firm
er basis for the happiness to be won
So, after all the professor hasn't
solved the problem, though he has
proved scientifically several interesting
points. Primarily, "it just happens"
But may he continue his research until
he finds the secret. Think of all the
time that men could save if they didn't
have to wait and hunt around for the
one and only, but could step right up
and say, PLEASED to meet you. The
mental reaction is doing we'll this
morning. Shall we go down to the
municipal building this morning or
wait until after lunch?"
