CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING SEPT. 10th, 1921
 11,285
SAFETY FIRST WEEK.

Nothing Is more timely than the proc lamation by Governor Lake in designat- ing the week of September IS as safety first week and calling upon the people Of the state to take precautions to avoid accidents and correct dangerous conditions
 When 1t Is realized that there were 223 fatal accidents in which motor ve- hic'es were involved resulting in the death Of 250 people during the year 1920 it is certainly time to ge. the state aroused to bettering conditions. The fatal accidents of course represent only a small proportion of the sevan thousand traffic accidents in the state .n that time where damage was done 10 property or injury was caused. Ap- Qarcntly there Is need for giving more thought to the responsibilities that rest upon each and every user of the high way and in no way can that be better Secured than by laying stress upon the conditions during a particular week. calling attention to the deplorable con- ditions that exist and the constantly increasing number in working for more instead of less safety.
 There is great opportunity for giving more thought 10 the rights of the other fellow. Nothing Is gained by such a great and needless loss of life. Those who disregard regulations and safety measures invariably have no legitimate excuse for so doing.
 Highly commendable therefore Is the educational movement which the coni- missioner of motor vehicles and the highway commissioner has set on foot and the appeal which has been made by the governor for the purpose of in- c-easing the safety in the highways.
 Wen can all highway users devote such time as is needed for improving their knowledge of legal requirements enacted in the interest of safety. Coco effects are also sure to come iron whatever efforts may be put forth 1T the schools while those who are di- rect-v concerned fn the handling of mo tor vehicles can well lend their CO., operation. not only for the week but for all time that there may be a per 11ane1t improvement shown in behalf os safety in spite of the fact that mort machines are being added daily to tht quota of the state.
 Safety first week should be of grea benefit but that will accrue in propor -5o1 70 the degree in which those mos vitauy concerned give their sincere co operation.

Armenia's Sono2.

Armenia has a distinctly national collection of songs, some of which have come down from prehistoric times. Through melodies transmitted from parents to children great na- tional events and the heroes and sages Of centuries are familiar to each gen eration, preserving in songs a vast amount of historical facts that other wise would have been lost.
 Prior to the Fifteenth Century Ar menia's literature is entirely in the form of religious verse and prose. The record of secular events is entirely in her songs. The desire for freedom and patriotism is the theme of her many old songs, just as her modern music Is the expression of intense struggle against oppression. The period of national greatness, when as na- tion Armenia was free and prosperous is told in songs sung by shepherds ant

REASONS FOR ANXIETY

''Does she purr?" asked Reginald. I'm most always thinking of something else and 1t never made any impression. Why you act as though I was likely to get in- terested in her. I tell you I haven't seen a girl for years that l could care the least thing about"
 Tt doesn't matter whether you would care or not" his sister explained
 Well, what can we do?" inquired her argumentative husband We can't move because there isn't any place to move to and, anyhow, much as I admire Reginald. my affection does not encom- pass the cost of moving vans and break age I am in favor of disgusting Reg inald with red nose or rope whiskers and staying right where we are and let ting the boy take a chance. Now, if only you didn't hate Cyclamena so-'
 "Oh, my goodness" said the young married woman. Laying it to my self ishness, when all that I have in mind is Reginalds own good If he deliberately had picked out Cyclamena and announced that she was his choice I would have been perfectly nice to her and hoped for the best, though In my heart l would have known that he had wrecked his life but when that girl designingly trails his footsteps and tries to ensnare him the way she does l shall save him if l can! I am not going to let any brother of mine be taken in by the wiles of a girl who knows she's got to get married pretty soon or let the public into the secret of the gray hairs that she manages to tuck underneath her marcel No, know you never noticed that Cyclamena had any, but that just shows They may be premature, but they're there! Why the way she lays on fattery a foot thick"
 'Td like to know where I've been,' said Reginald with more interest. q de- clare I never observed that any of this was going on Indiana! I have noticed that Cyclamena was an 1wfully well got up girl and had sweet voice and dis cretion as to rouge, but the idea that she likes me especially Is utterly new, Not that she interests me at all but ] guess I'll run up there after dinner and call-'
 'Nowr' cried the argumentative hus- band to his crushed and despairing wife now see what you've done It's all on your own head, every Ut Uf it-"-Ex- ] change.

ODD iNCIBENrs IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
JOY AT THE FIRST SHIP DUEL

JOY AT THE FIRST SHIP DUEL
 It was novel experience for the Am ericans to have the pleasure of celebrat- ing a victory at sea, after the British navy had been considered it's master for so many years This first ship duel was fought between the Constitution and the Guerriere on August 10, 1912, and came at time when the country was thor oughly discouraged at it's failure to stem British success
 The news of the victory was hailed with delight by every true American printed as it was side by side in the newspapers with the surrender of De- troit. As the engagement took place off the British coast of Novia Scotia New England was the first to receive the glad tidings of the outcome.
 When Captain Isaac Hull, the victori- ous commander of the Constitution sailed into Boston harbor after the victory he was given a reception the like of which had not yet been accorded to any man. Every ship was gay with bunting. The whole population stood on the wharves and crowded the windows and house tops overlooking the bay. and as Hull stepped ashore he was greeted with a salute fro mthe artillery and with deaf ening cheers, and the crowd escorted him
 
 to Coffee House, where he was received in true republican syle.>
 As the handbills spread the news southward the pleasure of the people was expressed in 1nnumerable ways. Al New. York money was raised to buy swords to be presented to Hull and his officers. At Philadelphia subscriptions were asked for 8 fund to purchase two fine pieces of plate for Hull and Lieut. Morris When the news reached Balti- more salutes were fired and every ship in the harbor ran it's flag. That same day, September T, the frigate Eessex en- tered the Delaware and took part in the demonstrations of joy going on in every town along the river band. The saucy Dacres, commander of the Guerriere, was no doubt, very much chagrined at the loss, not only of his vessel, which was sent to the bottom | but also his prestige as a naval officer But he had invited in most audacious way, his humiliation.
 While cruising off the northern coast of our country he hailed a merchant man and sent a challenge into New York l offering to meet any frigate in the Am erican navy off Sandy Hook. This chal- lenge did not reach New York unti some days after the battle was fought and read as follows:
 Capt Darcres, commander of the Britannic Majesty's frigate Guerriere of forty-four guns, presents his compli ments to Commodore Rogers of the United States frigate President, and vii be very glad to met him or any othel American frigate of equal force, of Sandy Hook, for the purpose of having a feW minutes tete-a-tete." He haC his wishes gratifed even before the! reached the point tO which they were being conveyed, but the naughty Brit isher had not the remotest idea the ter mination would be so discom1ting t him,

T don't know what I am going to do about it." said the young married woman with the attractive brother who resided at her home. -'sThe way that girl from the top fiat chases Reginald is just out rageous! Regularly every day at about quarter of when am all tied up get ting dinner, she runs down for some thing"
 ''Why should you do anything at all?" asked her argumentative husband. 'Why can't Reginald fight his own battles?"
 That's what I say" Reginald con- trfbuted to the symposium. ~>~She doesn't worry me bit. so why should you bother your head. Indiana? I'm in no danger. !"
 You are in frightful danger" con- tradicted the young married woman with distracting frown. '"The biggest, strong est, most independent man on earth ought to send out frantic s. o. S. signals when any girl makes up her mind about him and lives near enough to>run in every day to borrow 8 cup of sugar or some blackheaded pins or a hair net. There are Se5 days in the year and that girl has never duplicated yet. I simply can't count up 565 things I'd like or must have or am out of. Aud when the lamps are lighted and you look at her real quickly she seems almost pretty"
 Kitty, kitty 7! remarked her husband. Why, I've always thought Cyclamena quite some girl. Why shouldn't she mar " Reginald?"
 My goodness graciousI'' moaned the young married woman. Cant you see that she is not Reginald's kind at all"
 What kind of a girl Is my kind?'' asked her attractive brother with interest.
 Most anybody who isn't like Cycla- mena,' his sister, explained fervently. 'Td just die if I had to have that girl for my sister-in-law am broad minded and hope you will marry some day, but you must marry the right kind of girl to be happy. And Cyclamena-' 'T never noticed her much" the at- tractive brother said "Just why isn't i she in harmony with my soul?"
 This Is & serious matter and I wish you wouldn't joke" his sister objected putting salt in her tea in her agitation I.thought she'd never go tonight and I Bs glad you were late and she had tc gohome without seeing you! I should think you could tell from the way she purrs over you and exclaims what she Is up to, but you men are so dense"

IN THE VETERANS, BTTREAu.

For a long period of time the war risk bureau and the veterans bureau have been under fire. Ineficiency has chzract erized their work and as the result of the investigation conducted by the Dawes commission there was an early port that brought about a read 5ustu1ent by which the new veterans bureau has succeeded to the duties of both agencies. The change has been made for the purpose of overcoming the delays and criticisms of the previous organizations. The purpose Is to do away with the waste and red tape that failed to accomplish what was desired and get down to the actual business of meeting requirements.

Won't you ask them to play 1t at one of my evenings?" The two great art ists did not have to be urged. Then an unheard-of thing happened. As he never had a written program on such occasions. Rossini managed so that they believed that the duet was his own. It is easy to imagine the success of the piece under these conditions. When the encore was over, Rossini took me to the dining-room and made me sit near him, holding me by the hand so that I could not get away. A procession of fawning admirers passed in front of him.

EXPERIENCES ARE SIMILAR.

Many are the communities that have gotten the impression that they could get along without the tro1leys just as well as not and that the jitneys would give them adequate service Almost as many have proceeded to give them a trial Figures are not available to show just how many have done so or just what the result has been in each case, but there are plenty of instances showing the disappointment that has been experienced and the haste has been made to insure the permanent re- turn of the trolley service.
 Out in the city of Indianapolis this matter has been undergoing a test
 The jitneys are still doing business but there is an insistent demand for the regulation of the jitneys in accord with the practice which 1t has shown has been followed in other cities, a mum Der of which were investigated by a spec's' committee named for that pur- pose That city is crying because in the heart of the business district traf- fic congestion is daily becoming worse and that situation Is complicated by the presence of the jitneys.
 That jitneys are making 1t impos- sible for the troleys to render ade- quate service is indicated by the state ment of the News of that city to the effect that "the sooner there is some sort of regulation and some means by which the service of the street cal company can be properly established the better 1t will be for the public"
 The situation there is as in other places. It is unjust to attempt to reg | ulate trolleys and not the jitneys ant | it cannot be expected that adequate service is going to be rendered by the former by permitting the latter tr engage in unjust competition.

There were children and fappers in the gathering of boys and girls on Su- sie's front porch, some of the chill dren wearing socks and the fappers had their stockings rolled down. Susie was a flapper and was recounting to her delighted hearers the story of how she had gone down town a night or two before with her parents to take in a show, and with giggles and titters was explaining how she had managed to squeeze herself between her mother and father when boarding the car so she would be inconspicuous and as un- exposed as possible.
