AUTOMOBILE HERE TO STAY
Foolish to Compare It TO Popular
"crazes" That Merely Bloomed
for a Time.

to capacity on nice Sundays, and it is
Common knowledge that downtown
streets are so jammed at times that a
man can walk on the sidewalk faster
than a car can travel in the street.
Shall we have to double-deck our

Possibly" replied the Man Who Re
members. But the use Of automo-
biles is not a craze. 1t is too endur-
ing for a craze. The roller-skating
epidemic that swept the country in the
middle eighties was a craze. Remem-
Der how Kinks sprang up in every
town? Bicycle riding ten years later
was a craze. The Williamsburgh
bridge was built while it was at its
height, and plans for the bridge called
for a space devoted exclusively to
bikes, but the craze passed before the
bridge was completed.
%"Ping-pong was a craze that bloomed
in the morning and died at night,
though while it lasted there were
ping-pong clubs. tournaments and con-
tests. But baseball, politics and the
motorcar are not crazes. They are in

Is there a dope problem in Amer
lea? Is it true that there are from
one to four millions of people in all
stratas of society that are narcotic
slaves? Tie narcotic drug traffic
has almost tripled in the past two
years. We use as a nation forty
times more narcotic drugs per capita
than any other white nation, and II
times more per capita than the Chi
nese, who have always been con-
sidered the drug drenched nation of
the world. Washington state has
from the first been the most active
in a great movement looking to the
suppression Of narcotics and is lead
ing the states in demanding Of con-
gress action which will really sup
press the drug evil. A special SER
mon will be preached on Sunday
evening on this evil that receives
$685. tons of narcotics that are
not legitimately accounted for, that
spells ruin and degradation to mind,
body and soul of American citizens.

been tremendous, and those who
thought the jungle would belong ex-

now come home sooner than planned.

the head of young cattle, so that they
may be weaned without having to

them to eat and drink while 1t pre-

CORN MOST VALUABLE CROP

Corn is the most important crop
in the United States, both in acreage
and in valoe. The quantity of yield
is greatly influenced by the quality
of the seed planted, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture
A practical way of decreasing the
cost of harvesting the crop if it is
to be fed to hogs is to let the hogs
do the harvesting or ''hoggin down"
by turning them into the field in the
fall.

for each ward.
Two poll books for each ward.

One ballot stamp for each ward.
Two lists of persons challenged

they expect that the Clark cylinder
will be satisfactory until next fall.

HOLIDAY POWER

to Set Aside Day.

While the bill prohibiting the Speed

Of indianapolis the right to declare a
legal holiday.
The measure. introduced by Sena-

intended to effect a compromise in
the Speedway dispute. Senator Eng

the measure was intended to give the
mayor the right to designate a hon-
day at any time and not necessarily
aimed at the Speedway race"
Senator Bait opposed the bill, say
ing he could see no reason for it, since
the Memorial Day bill passed. Sen
ator Durham said it would crowd
the calendar with holidays in Indian

working"
