Solicit Funds in
Schools.


Declaring that in justice 20 the
work of the schools of Indiana the

support of organizations other than

Superintendent of Public instruction.

In both his letters Mr.. Burris quoted
a resolution adopted at tha recent cOnven-
tion Of the State Teachers Association.
which says:
I'VE wish TO discourage the practice
Of various organizations OF the State
in instituting financial drives in the
schools, believing that such are III
advised and tend to disorganization
in the work Of the schools, and to
create a spirit Of discomfort among
both patrons and pupils
Mr.. Burris declared that this depart
ment is in sympathy with this resolu
ton"
In discussing the proposed purchase
of Foch medal and the erection Of high
schools in France Mr.. Burris says:
This department is at once impressed

that II should have the support If the

HARDING ASKS
SOUTH TO ALLOW

President Suggests Equal OPP

SHOW NO SOCIAL FAyORS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct 26.--straight
into the heart Of the Democratic South
with its millions of negroes, President
Harding came today with frank and
stirring message dealing with the race
problem.
The time has passed. the President said
when the problem OF race is of concern
only to the South, or even TO the United
States. 1t has now become world
problem, he said. and he suggested that
1t can be best dealt with by recognizing
these fundamentals:
l. That the negro be accorded equal
opportunities of politics, business
and education, and,
2. That there be absolute divergence
racially and socially, each race with
its own traditions, ideals. etc.
Surely" said the President" we shall

followed parade through the city and
dealt entirely with the industrial South
aud it's problems.
Men Of both races" continued the
President, may we'll stand uncompro-
misingly against every suggestion of 30
cial equality. 1t would be helpful to
have that word equality eliminated from
this consideration; to have it accepted on
both sides that this is not a question of
social equality but question of recog~
nizing a fundamental eternal and ines
capable difference.
Politically and economically, there

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 26.-
The Crescent City has its hat in the
ring. 1t is after business-big busi-
Ass-and is going after it in impress
siye form.
Once the Louisiana metropolis was
known as pleasure loving, gay, in
souciant. The visitor was regaled in
the famous Gin Fiz, had breakfast at
Nine. Bogue's, looked in at the
French market and the Absinthe
House, was introduced at the Boston
and Pickwick, went to the French
opera, or saw the Mardi Gras, and
when he departed had pleasant mem
ories of New Orleans-but didn't
think it was up to snuff in business
way.
Now it's different. The gin fzz and
the Absinthe House have closed. Nine.
Bogue has passed on. The opera house
has burned down, and the Mardi Gras

EYES GROW KEENER IN DARK
Why the Sight Then is Moro Sensitive
Than in the Light, Explained
by Scientists.

On entering n dark room after a
stay In the outside daylight the eye at
once begins to increase In scnsitiviiy.
At first this Increase appears to be
slow, but after five minutes the in
crease is quite rapid, the eye acquiring
n sensitivlty several hundred times Its
initial value, says n writer in the
Journal of General Physiology.
After 30 minutes soJourn In the
dark the sensitivlty still increases, but
more slowly than before, and inter 40
minutes or an hour the maximum sen
sitivity Is reached. The final scnsitiv'
ity varies slightly with different peo-
pie. but In fully adapted condition the
eye Is easily 5000 or 10000 times more
sensitive than 1t was ut the beginning.
These facts are obtained from II
study OF the scnsitiveness OF the eye
In the dark made by Selie Hecht Of:
Creighton university. Omahn. Mr.
Hecht's study goes to show thnt the
increased sensitiveness is due TO re-
versible photo-chemical reaction with

Two thousand Years ago the RO.
mans built roads, some of which nre
still In active service. These roads
have lasted through the centuries sim
ply because of their massive construc-
ton. The Romans built four success
i've courses or layers on an earth sub
grade carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or founda-
ton. then the rodius, next the nucleus
and finally the pavimentum or wear
ing surface. The statumen and paw
mentum consisted of large fiat stones,
while the two Intervening courses
were built of smaller stones laid In
lime mortar. To carry the chariot
and packhorse traffic of Roman times,
these roads were seemingly ridiculous
