No doubt there is good ground for
such n fear. but also there is reason
for the contention that the existence
Of this fear is Germsny's fault. From
the first the German government has
failed to display a spirit of fairness in
meeting the obligations brought upon
that country by an unprovolSed war on
Europe. With amazing indifference
she has seen her financial affairs
thrown into chaos. without taking any
measures for reform. Her currency
imitation has been shameful. as well as
naturally disastrous in its effects. but
she has encouraged and aggravated

WHEN THE BABY CRIES.


There are mysteries profound

Is il teeth or stomach pains
When the baby cries?
Men have learned . me curious th.ng'
Since the world was started.
Solved the mystery 81 wings.

Where the trouble lies.

Scientists may de.ve and probe

They may strip the ancient globe
or It's hidden glor!es.
But they cannot answer this

But the graveet. wisest brow
Ever this defies:

Why those fearful signs.

BRING
Section From New York North
to Sixteenth Proposed for
Improvement.
Improvement
THAN 100 TO KICK

More tina one hundred of the $50 resi-
dent property owners in Illinois street
between New York and Sixteenth streets
VIII demonstrate If the board OF public
works attempts to widen and resurface
the pavement, in compliance with an an
nouncemsnt several weeks ago. Frank C..
Cutter, 1910 North Illinois street, said to-
day. The board has ordered the city
civil engineer to prepare plans for re-
surfacing with asphalt and widening the
street 70 sixty feet.
Mr.. Cutter told the board OF works he
had made a canvass Of the property own
ers and wished to report their sentiment
before a resolution for the improvement
was adopted.
OWNERS OBJECT ON
SEVERAL GROUNDS.
The property owners object on several
grounds, according to Mr.. Cutter, among
them being that the present pavement
with patching viii serve well for at least
two or three years, the present width,
which varies from forty-hve to ftty-1Ye
feet. Is sufficient to handle the traffic
with safety and dispatch, the street never
can be q heavy traffic street like Meridian
street or Capitol avenue, because Of the

Many fire trees which now soften
harsh outlines Of the more |utilitarisn
business buildings along the section OF
street would have to be cut out to make
room for the proposed widening. Mr..
Cutter said. In addition practically
every catch basin, fire, c~istern, water
plug, telephone, trolley and electric light
pole would have to be moved back. Some
buildings are now set upon he side
walk so that Il would be necessary in
widening the street to put the fire plugs
n poles IN the sidewalk, or else cut
OF part OF the already narrow side
walks, he argued.
The board took the matter under ad-
yisement.
Street Commissioner HyIand submitted
a list Of 16S ~unimproved streets and al
leys he believes should be permanently
improved. He turned in seventy-two last
week. The board win look them over and
order plans upon those it deems advisable.
The street commissioner action is in
line with Mayor Shank's movement to
pave all ~unimprOved streets so as to
cut the expense Of street repairing.
Contracts were awarded as follows:
For the permanent Improvement with
asphalt OF Parker avenue from New
York to Michigan streets, to the Marion
County Construction Company for $500
q lineal foot; total. SO ,613.19.
For the permanent improvement with
asphalt OF Eighteenth street from Rural
street to Parker avenue. to the Marion
County Construction Company for S5o4
= Iineal foot; total, S6,5O2.O1.
Eleven resident property owners Of
GuilfOrd avenue from Forty-Ninth to
Fifty-First street, who, Sept. "A, 1921.
petitioned for the permanent improve
ment Of their street, even though the
cost is IN excess Of so per cent Of the
assessed valustion," were given attention
when the board ordered plans prepared
for the improvement.
