The Indiana Democratic Club is con-

but nothing definite took place at its
building committee conference this
week.
The new Elk's Club at Meridian and
ST. Clair Sts., viii be completed in sew

as yet. The First Baptist and Second
Presbyterian churches. whose prop
critics were not purchased by the
county, have not yet reached a de-
cision.
Besides three large apartment build
ings, a few small stores and brick
residences will be RACED. Local and
State headquarters for various
soldiers and war organizations in
buildings on the site probably will be
accommodated in the memorial build

ANCIENT LAW STILL STANDS
Edict Issued by Roman Praelor 1920
Years Ago Held to Be Enforce
able in Scotland.

Roman praetor's edict of 1890
years ago still affects innkeepers and
ostlers in Scotland. A Drainie farmer
handed his horse to an ostler to be
stabbed, and the ostler placed it into a
double stable, where, shortly after, a
second horse was placed. These two
horses had previously shared d stall,
and were known to be quiet and not
quarrelsome. The farmers horse was
sound when it was put into the stable,
but when he returned for it, it was
found to be lame on the off fore leg,
and two days later, on the advice of a
veterinary surgeon, was destroyed
The farmer sued the ostler and the
judge dismissed the case, which was
appealed. The appeal judge held that
in law the Praetorian edict of 367 B.
G. applied and that the injury was
not due to "the act of God" The
lord justice-clerk said the case raised
questions of Importance and difficulty.
The first question they had to decide
was whether a stabler fell within the
praetor's edict After carefully con-
sidering the arguments adduced and
surveying the authorities cited, he was
unable to find in modern law any war
rant for the suggested discrimination.
He was of the opinion that stablers,
as well as inkeepers, according to the
law of Scotland, fell within the edict.

CONDOR GIANT AMONG BIRDS
California Species Believed to Have
Exceeded In Size Its Cousin Of
South America.

Naturalists have determined that
the California condor exceeds in size
It's cousin, the condor of the Andes of
South America, and is larger than the
giant or wandering albatross which
travels the ocean lanes of the Pacific,
south of the equator. The extreme
wing expanse Of the California condor
IS close to twelve feet. Through care
full measurements, the naturalist
learned that the condor of the south
ern countries Is smaller in all respects.
One of these largest birds that fly
is on exhibition in the Natural His
tory museum at San Diego, Cal. Be
side the condor, the turkey buzzard, a
smaller relative, appears to be a
dwarf. Both birds are carbon eaters,
fact which has contributed substan-
TALLY to the near extinction of the
condor. Naturalists of earlier years
record that the condor was once fairly
common In California.
Ranchers and settlers have been in
directly responsible for the killing of
many condors through the placing of
poisoned meat intended for consump-
ton by coyotes, bobcats and panthers.
Large numbers have also been wan
tonly killed through the indiscriminate
use OF firearms.

NEEDS OF ''Y0UNG AMERICA"
European Critic Thinks That Youth
Of Great Republic Suffers From
Too Much Freedom.

George Santayana, famous philoso-
pher and writer, in an article written
especially in the Forum on Americas
Young Radicals" says:
II have made severe effort to dis
cover as well as may from dis
lance what these rebels want. l see
what they are against-they are
against everything-but what are they
for? l have not been able to discover
it. This may be due to my lack of IN
Outstanding or to their incapacity to
express themselves clearly, for their
style is something appalling. But per
haps this scandalous failure in express
sion, when expression is what they
yearn for and demand at all costs,
may be symptom Of something deep
err; of a radical mistake they have
made In the direction Of their efforts
and aspirations. They think they need
more freedom, more room, a chance to
be more spontaneous. I suspect that
they have had too much freedom, too
much empty space. too much practice
in being spontaneous when there was
nothing In them to bubble out. Their
style is sign Of this: 1t Is not merely
that they have no mastery of the Eng
nsh language as hitherto spoken, no
clear sense Of the value of words, and
no simplicity; that they are without
the vocabulary or the idiom Of Guilt
waited people. No, it Is not
more freedom that young America
needs in order to be happy; 1t needs
more discipline"

HOW FIRST LOCK WAS MADE
Development of the Key Reveals an
Interesting Story of Ages Long
Passed Away.

The modern lock Is a development
of the horizontal bar placed across
the inside Of the door. This was
good substitute for a lock when one
remained inside, and to adjust it so
that it would fall into place when the
door was closed from the outside was
comparatively simple, but to lift the
bar from the outside when one wished
to enter, was the problem. This was
accomplished by fitting hole into the
door post, through which something
designed to lift the bar was inserted.
This was the first keyhole and the
instrument used in lifting the bar
was the first key, says the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle.
The simplest idea for preventing
the bar from sliding was to bore a
hole in the top of the bar, which
would also penetrate the staple on
which it rested, and drop peg into
the hole through the Staple. The un-
locking problem could be accom-
plished by any instrument which would
lift the peg and permit the bar to
slide back. Then If a series of pegs
were used, all of which had to be
lifted, unlocking would be more diff
ficult. In our modern locks, the pegs
have simply been replaced by "tum.
blers" on which the key acts in the
same way. The key originally had
wooden pegs fastened to correspond
with the pegs holding the bar in place
on the inside, and these pins developed
into the notches which are on our
modern keys. As there were no
pockets in those days the other end
of the key was made into ring and
worn on the finger. That is why the
keys Of today usually have a ring at
the end-just a relic Of the past.

Wild Bears Become Plague.

From the few swine that were let
loose on the island of Santa Cruz in
l547 have come q race of ferOciOus
wild boars. They have lost virtually
every trace of their original domes-
ticity. and have become powerful wild
beasts as fleet of hoof as deer. They
mature enormous tusks. long hoofs
and bristles that are like wire, and
are the plague of the ranch people
who have sought to develop the island
for sheep and cattle raising.
The boars tear down fences faster
than the ranchers can build them,
they root up garden stuff as soon as it
springs from the ground, and not in
frequently they have been known to
gore horses, sheep and cattle. Young
lambs are one of their favorite foods,
and in the killing and eating of them
they show shill and cunning and
carnivoreus traits comparable to the
tactics Of wolves.

GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives Gift
of Robe That Belonged to Found
er of Methodism.

The Wesleyan Methodist ConnexioH
has just received from one Of its lead
ing laymen a gown that belonged to
the founder Of Methodism, according
to the London Daily News. John Wes-
ley died in 1871, so that the garment
10 more than 130 years old.
Time has, of course, left its marks
upon the gown. Some parts are dis
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material is heavy, and
upon it, worked in black, are flowers
and prancing horses. As the great
preacher was a little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was q
preaching gown, but it is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records
John Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and,
generally speaking, it seems to accord
with the style Of a black study-gown.
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented pair of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are in good condition,
and are of the kind that he would
wear in his study.
Wesley, of course, Travelled through.
out Great Britain and Ireland in all
Weathers on his preaching tours, and
1t was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as a protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains q
large number of interesting relics Of
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study chair of John, and presently,
as q gift from the donor Of the gown,
Charles Wesley's study chair will be-
placed there.
A large proportion Of the visitors to
the museum come from the overseas
dOminions and the United States.

How loads Hatch Young.

The Surinam is the name Of a
thoroughly aquatic toad that inhabits
South America east of the Andes and
north of the Amazon, and which is
rendered famous by its method of re-
production. The eggs are carried on
the back by the mother, and the
skin thickens and grows round the
eggs until each is enclosed in a der
NAL cell, which is finally covered by
a horny lid, believed to be formed by
a secretion of the skin or else TO
represent the remains of the gelati-
nous capsule which at first surrounded
the eggs. These, which may number
about 100, and measure five to seven
mllimeters In diameter, develop entire
II within these pouches, and the young
hop out in the perfect condition. with

A BIT OF THE SCOUT SPIRIT

A bit of true scout spirit, an ap-
preciative onlooker, and his letter to
the national Office are the basis of the
following account:
''At the third annual Northeastern
Iowa Boy Scout exposition there
were several scouts lined up in the
contest of Fire by Friction The
scouts were all in position awaiting
the word go when the judges discov-
cred that the scout representing
Waterloo, Ia, was disqualified be-
cause he had pencil shavings, instead
of natural material as required by
regulations. Three towns, Waterloo,
Waverly and Cedar Falls, were all
crowding close to first place at this
point in the exposition, and valuable
prizes were at stake.
'SThere was nothing for the judges
to do but to rule out the scout from
Waterloo and this was about to be
done. Allen Brown of Troop /, Cedar
Falls, Ia, was next to the Waterloo
lad, and seeing his predicament,
Scout Brown said: IF it is satisfac-
tory to the judges, will gladly share
my finder with the scout from Wa
terloo.' The judges agreed that this
would be satisfactory and the scout
from Waterloo was thereby enabled
to enter the contest, and he won It.
"The more I thought Of this" con-
tinues the writer, "the more it
dawned on me that Scout Brown from
Cedar Falls was the greatest victor
In the contest. He was master OF
himself and would not take advan-
tage of a fellow scout, even though
it might mean his losing.
"For the sake Of this good old Q.
s. A. may we have more real scouts
for the men of tomorrow"

BEST TO FACE FACTS BRAvELY
In the End, Nothing Possibly Can Be
Gained by Dodging the Recog-
nized Truth.

People who deal in true facts often
get the reputation of being cynics. 1t
is an almost universal human railing
to dodge truths which are unpleasant.
The tendency Of most of US is to color
our facts to suit our own pleasure or
convenience, and we are apt to be an
moved with the person who offers an
opinion at variance with our own. Ii
his portrayal of facts is not favorable
to our interests we put him down as
a pessimist Later on we realize tnat
it would have been more to our ad-
vantage to have accepted the truth
even If it was unpleasant.
Pooling oneself is a dangerous pas
time which can lead one into serious
trouble. 1t serves to tighten the MIND
of worry in regard to some impending
disaster. but the trouble is apt to be
more complicated when 1t does arrive,
because by binding ourselves to the
truth we have missed the chance OF
trying to do something to relieve the
situation. II is like an engine plunging
into danger because we did not heed
the warning signals.
The only sound foundation on which
to build your life is not only to face
and accept the truth, no matter how
distasteful 1t may be, but also to dill"
gently seek it. 1t is not necessary to
Join the list of those who always seem
to take pleasure in announcing un'
pleasant facts and who feel that the
truth should be uncompromisingly
spoken at all times. 1t would be dill
cult to argue that there are not occa
sions when it is best to deceive people
for their own good, but do not allow
yourself to get into the habit of doing
1t to yourself. Face facts; don't bluf
yourself.
