Brutal unfairneSS

Lafayette Journal and Courier
Tho indianapolis city school board
has just put through a program Of
hostility and brutal unfairness to.
ward women principals in the schools
Of the capital city. Not long ago the
indianapolis press solicitously pointed
out the wrong and unwisdom Of the
systematic attack made in Lafayette
upon certain tried and true. eXcep

cipals in the local sChools-an unwar-
ranted attack on womanhood by a
school board majority oil
rected by the mayor Of this city.
Lafayette people now will offer con
to indianapolis. The same
sort Of unreasoning. unfair and crude
ly foolish attack upon women prin-
cipals which recently shocked and
disgraced Lafayette, is now arousing
the hot indignation and vigorous pro
test OF Indianapolis school patrons.
No attempt was made either in
Lafayette or in Indianapolis to ex

South Bend News Times
The announcement that the corpor-
alton which furnishes electricity for
this section of the country intends to
invest few millions in new water
sites and a larger power plant means
much more than the expenditure Of
that money in this city.
The men who own this company
have learned to think in percentages
and have succeeded because they are
able to meet the demands made upon
them.
They know. or are reasonably GER
tain. that there viii be customers for
that electricity when it is produced
from streams or coal.
They are investing their dollars
upon the one belief that this city will
require more power for factories,
more current for domestic use.
These men are not gamblers. They
are investors and operators Of a great
industry. which meets the demands of
other industries.
Wise persons who know that the
creates prosperity is to be found in

INDIA ARE
OLD AT IS


NEW YORK, June 2o.-Just see
what happens to women who spend
all their lives in beauty parlors:
Mrs Lily Strickland, just back
from India, says the temple dancers
Of India. who put physical beauty
ahead of everything else, are old
women when they're 35.
Yes. and often they're old crones
at 40." says Mrs. Strickland. who has
just returned from India, where she
has been doing research work.
"Ninety-nine per cent of the women
there are educated exclusively along
physical lines. Mentally they are
children. Such interests as politics
are closed books TO them.
"F1guratively they spend their lives
in beauty parlors. Care of the body
IS an art. They battle daily in olive
or mustard oil. They perfume them
selves heavily with the essential oils
Of jasmine and altar of roses, sandal
wood and pungent amber.
yet with all this care and the
lives of ease that they lead, these
women begin to age before they are
30. They are old women at IS. and
at 40 they have lost every trace Of
attractiveness."
Mrs. Strickland is well known as
one of the leading women composers.
Her bayou songs. an original combi-
nation of art and jazz rhythm, are
on the concert programs of many
famous singers.

After relating all the stories they

such information as the Government
has regarding the high sugar price
conspiracy. They then asked some
pertinent questions, as follows
who is responsible for high sugar
prices?
Are the New York banks vitality
interested in high sugar prices or is
any one of them?
did the loan Of $50 600 900 made

When the loan was made was IT

Did Ambassador Crowder have any

Street car fares in American cities
today vary from eleven rides for so
cents to 10 cents per ride. Before
the war 3 cents was the standard
charge. Now the average is about
6h cents.
Despite this 30 per cent increase
in the amount Of single fares, and an
annual increase of 80. 1000, 900 passen-
gers, street railway officials manifest
little satisfaction with the situation.
and for the most part send forth
walls of distress
Billion Paid in Fares
One billion dollars is paid In street
car fares each year by the people
of the United States That sum is
approximately one.sixth the total CAPT
talizaton of all the car lines. and
fully one-third as much as some ex-
rerts declare all the car systems and
their equipment are worth.
Al the "takings" of the street cars
represent ready money. There are
no bad accounts. No stats Of collect
crs are required. Car companies are
practically the only important bust
nesses that send out no bills.
Consequently It is an easy matter
to determine actual income. Only an
adding machine is necessary. Current
expenses may be easily ascertained.
The difficulty enters when an eff
fort is made to arrive at the capital
value Of car lines
Suffice ii to say in cities where the
valuation problem has been solved or
temporarily side-tracked. the price of
car ride is being determined on a
cost of service" basis. This is the
case in Cleveland. Cincinnati. Dallas
and a few other cities.
In Cleveland. where a more extern
sive study OF traction problems has
been made than In almost any other
American city. the plan is working
very satisfactorily.
City Supervises
The Cleveland street car company
is privately owned. and the stock hold
ers are guaranteed 6 per cent on their
stock, The road is operated under the
supervision of the city. through the
street railway commissioner.
In the cOmpany's franchise operat-
ing expenses of IS cents per car mile
and maintenance charges Of Il cents
per car mile are provided for. After
interest. taxes and operating allow
ances are paid. the balance Of the
monthly revenue is placed in an in
terest fund" When this fund reaches
500 600 fares are automatically re-
duced: when the fund falls to $500 coo
fares go up.
The highest fare permitted is 6 cents
plus / cent for transfers, and eleven
tickets may be purchased for so cents.
Baltimore traction officials maintain
free transfers are more equitable for
the reason they place no penalty on

BY HERBERT CLICK

It is not in war only that life calls
for heroism.> The courage which
faces the sacrifice of happiness at
the demands of duty; the rejection Of
tempting rewards when their accept
ance calls for treason to honor
these are the things which we usually
think of when the heroism Of peace
is mentioned. But some times the
same sort of courage must be exer-
cised as that aroused in the strife of
battle.
