To Brighten the Home When the Family Gathers
at Evening to Rest
By KATHLEEN D. MANNERING.

~ ~ 57E ARE all tremendously affected by the ever changing light
II of any climate During a day of lowering clouds our spirits
WW likewise droop. And during a day of clear sunshine WI stride
over the ground with a buoyancy that is only partly physical
The sunshine plays upon our moods like a deft player on a harp.
Probably nowhere a o the farm is there need Of better home light
ing. The homes ire set at great distances apart, with the intervening
spaces shrouded in darkness at nightfal, save for the htfu light OF the
stars and an occasional full moon.
At times it is a lonely hfe-that Of the farmer. The very fact that
the surroundings are dark at n~ightal-whch has a tendency to depress
the spirits-is the more reason that every effort should be made to light
and brighten the home when the family gathers in the hush of evening to
rest, to read and to enjoy the pleasures of home.
In the days gone by there was no remedy for such a situation. But
today farm electric lighting plants, at very moderate cost, bring the
glowing lights of the city to every farm home. These plants cannot only
make the farm home a haven of rest but a haven of cheerfulness. They
light the home and the barns and supply the force that pumps the water
and in other ways tighten the labor.
But the big fact is that they light the home, making it a place of
sunshine for the young folks to dance to music records and to bring their
friends, to read and to feel contented. Probably it would not be amss to
say that much of the discomfort of the young men and women on the
farms is due to a lack of appreciation Of the vital fact that bright lights
in the home make for contentedness
Surely, the farmer today who does not give this subject serious
thought may be missing a means of keeping his children conhnted and
giving his wife and helpmate some of the fine convenences Of life that
she deserves.

Biggest Disappointment of My Life in Visiting
South Sea Islands,


In fongkong l met many American and English women stranded
without a cent, whose real reason for going to China was to get married.
Most Of them were more than thirty years old and more or less unattrac-
tive. They had heard, incorrectly, that there were so many more Eng
lsh and American men than women in China. Once there they couldn't
return. Java should have been their goal.
l received the biggest disappointment Of my life in visiting the
South Sea islands. The scenery is beautiful, yes. but nothing startling.
Java is more beautiful. Those beauteous maidens one hears OF, they are
fat, nearly all of them, and sloppy. Voluptuous. yes, but, oh, SC broad
There are dereicts of every race and nation, gone to seed. Of course,
there is quite a colony of writer's and artists, but even q large number
of these have gone to seed. What struck me particularly was the num-
Der of white men, educated and cultured, many 0. them successful writer's
and painters, who have married the native women.

Chief Difficulty in Reconstruction of Europe Is
the State of Mind


1t Is my opinion that the chief difficulty in the reconstruction of
Europe is the state Of mind Of the people in the various countries
through which l passed. They are all doing much better than they did
before the war, but do not realize it. Their prosperity is covered with a
froth Of hysteria, of discomfort, Of suspicion, envy and hatred toward
their neighbors. In some countries they hate other people 5 o much that
they have got to hating themselves.
Yet under that artificial surface there is an economic recuperation
that the masses Of the people cannot see. Farmers who two years ago
had only one or two COWS now have three or four cows. and the grain
and fruit production has increased in the same ratio unnoticed by the
owners Of the soil.
The state of mind is perhaps more serious than anything else and
little Roadway has yet been made toward curing it.

a Good Living Too Easy


have investigated or talked with thousands of mendieants. l have
found men and women of extraordinary intelligence and talent. My SYM
pathy and confidence have been given to many Of them-mistakenly, [
admit. Looking back on it all | have to confess that have yet to uncover
a single deserving case.
Three years ago my department sent out Investigators who carefully
followed up 800 cases Of street begging. Not a single case was genuine.
In every instance the mendicant was a professional.
Reforming a confirmed beggar-cant, apparently, be done. A good
living is too quick and too easy. A welltrained professional need not
work mo- e than three or four hours a day, and in that time he may, if he
is at all apable, take in from Sis to $25. We have struggled with hun
dreds of beggars, trying to rehabiitate them. We have cleaned them,
clothed them, fed them, and gotten them jobs-and within a month they
are back on the streets again.

The Orderly Communist Becomes a Disorderly
One at the Point of Hunger


So long as there is a possibility of bread the German Communist is
likely to keep at work and behave himself. But the orderly Communist
becomes a disorderly one a. soon as he reaches the point of hunger. Once
the tide sets in strongly enough, there is nothing to hold it in check.
The government continues to pour out paper money as fast as the
mills can print it, and the confidence in suh money is reflected in the
comparative rates of foreign exchange as well as in the rising prices.
What one notices in particular is that the restnssness is never a
local matter. When the torch begins to glow in one place, it breaks out
suddenly into fame in another.

AND SHANK WINGS
HOLD CONFERENCE
Union of G, 0, P, Factions
Might Not Last After
Primary.

The union Of the Jewett-Lemcke
faction Of the Republican party in
Marion County with the Shank group
appeared to be more Of a certainty to-
day following conferences between
leaders Saturday afternoon.
Shank workers at the city hall to-
day appeared eIated over developments
at the conference, although it was
said nothing definite was ready for
public announcement.
I'VE suggested working together
for the coming primary and election"
said Mayor Shank today. While
permanent union depends on condi-
tions, we believe that agreements can
be reached for next year at least
Leaders of the two factions are
looking forward to the race for mayor
in the city These two factions have
been bitterly opposed in every cleo
ton. Shank has refused up to this
time to commit himself in favor of
any candidate.
Permanent union of the factions
may depend upon advice of Republic
an party leaders at Washington.
Ralph Lemcke is understood to be in
Washington comforting with Post
master General New. who is a friend
Of the Lemcke-Jewett faction. Senator
James E. Watson is regarded as
friendly to the Shank faction.
Watson and New are not close.
The mayor made it clear today that
the factions might not be united when
the race for Senator in Indiana comes
up in four years.

Walb has been pictured as the
leader in the general effort to retire
McCray. But the story here is that
Walb has merely carried out the sug
gestions of others, and that he was
left-more or less--to hold the bag
after criticism Of his actions began.
Preach McCray Reputation
Whether Watson gave any complete
instruction to Walb is not clearly set
forth. But that Watson's closest
friends preached the gospel of repu-
dating McCray is known. That Wat
son wrote Walb one letter Is also
known and the story is that he en-
couraged Walb. And then Walb acted.
Immediately ruction began in the
Republican ranks. Representative
Wood of the Tenth district was par
ucularly critical OF Walb and Walb's
action. Wood drove his point home
that McCray should be tried first and
that after the court decided. the Re
publican party should act. With
Wood forcing the issue, Walb's sup
port weakened.
Woods Position Voiced
Then came the informal conference
and a telegram from Representative
Elliott. one of Watson's closest friends
in the delegation. Elliott's telegram
voiced Wood s position and Walb was
out on the limb
New, on the other hand IS a pretty
bold and blunt worker lie was for
Walb from the start. He was Walb's
friend. He felt that Walb was encour-
aged to start the fight to retire Nc
Cray, and New supported Walb. With
Walb out on ,he limb. New will not
desert him and see him suffer. So
New is going to give Waib all the sup
port he can give him, and II New suf-
fers, then he'll suffer.

A voice from the dead, emphasizing
the need OF obtaining accurate knowl-
edge of mental condition Of prisoners
in institutions, came to the Indiana
Conference on Mental Health at the
Claypool today when a letter was read
written by George A. II. Shldeler, late
superintendent Of the Indiana Reform
atory.
It was written Oct. IL and ad-
dressed to Amos w Butler.
"The problem Of divorce is a prob
lem Of mental hygiene. Crime Is also
a pl oblem of mental hygiene" said DR..
Charles P. Emerson. dean OF the In
diana University School of Medicine.
Emerson urged a psychopathlc clinic
be established at the school.
we should move away from insti-
tutions and toward greater community
organizations in care Of mental de-
fectives," DR.. Frankwood z. Williams,
New York. director of the National So
ciety for Mental Hygiene, declared.
Institutions take away from the COM
munity valuable social units"
Visions Of the old prisons where
nothing was done for the uplift of
prisoners. were recalled by DR.. P. H.
Weeks. State prison. Michigan City.
He showed that the idea Of the In
diana institution was to treat cases
indiidually and to reform the pris-
oner. But don't get the idea we are
