But their cot ton stuffed bodies kept him from being injured, and of course the fall did not hurt the Raggedys in the least. Just as the Raggedys and the hobby horse touched the ground, Minga and Munga Witch grabbed them it was the magic of the witches which had overturned the little boat.
 "Here!' a loud voice cried, "who's to blame for smashing this boat?" and there stood policeman, very big and brave.
 These two witches did it." the hob by horse told the policeman.
 "I thought sop the policeman cried as. he dragged the two witches away. II shall just lock them up for while, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy !" he said, "so that they will not bother you again !"
 And, as the nice poor man came up just. then, the Raggedys thanked the policeman and they were soon in the house on wheels rolling along in search of adventures in the deep, deep woods.

 And, as there was a large sign at the gate saying, Everything Free 7" the Raggedys and the poor man and the hobby horse went inside and rode on the merry-go-round and the other amusement things.
 They ate peanuts and cracker jack and pop corn and sandwiches, all free. They had ice cream sodas, ice cold lemonade, oranges and bottles of pop.
 And 1t was while they were all n one of the little boats which slid from the top of a high chute down an in- cline into the water and the poor man had just said, Letter gop when the little boat turned completely upside down and jumped over the rail to the ground way down below. It made a very loud crash.

INDIANA POWER PLANS
Utility Companies Propose 50 Million
 Dollar Projects

INDIANAPOLIS.-"Superpower" is an established fact in Indiana, accord ing to Harry Reid, head of the Inter- state Public Service company and chair man of the Indiana committee on pub lie utility information.
 Indiana power companies, says Mir. Reid, ''are spending on projects under way last year and this year, in the neighborhood of 50 million dollars to make 'superpower' a reality. By the end of this year, it is likely that no indus trial community of any consequence in the state will be isolated as regards power facilities.
 With the network of traction power lines as a starting point, the state in the last few years has made remarkable progress. To complete the interconnec- tion of the principal industrial centers the big electric power companies are now actively at work building great power plants and long transmission systems. Projects are now under way by ten or a dozen companies"
 The aim of the so called superpower plan, MT. Reid said, is twofold First to provide ample and reliable power facilities needed for industrial or do- nestle consumption. In the second in stance, it is expected to effect consider. able economy for both produce and consumer of current, at the same time conserving coal.
 New developments include several that are noteworthy. One Indianapolis com pany, serving practically that city only is spending 3 million dollars to increase it's generating capacity thirty thousand kilowatts. Another is building a power plant on the Wabash River in the coa fields, and erecting a transmission sys tenn to cover the central western part oi the state. A third with big hydro electric generating station on the Tippe canoe River, in the northwest part oi Indiana, also is tying up a number oi communities.
 The same interests are planning ( tremendous power plant on the OhiC River, near Louisville, and another ir the Calumet region, near Hammond anC Gary. The St. Joe Valley, including tn,

"My ] How the two witches, Minga and Munga, howled when you thumped them so hard ]" Raggedy Andy said to the poor man as they, with Raggedy Ann and the hobby horse sat inside the house on wheels. as it sped through the woods.
 q could thu m D them a great deal harder if I wanted to !' the nice poor man said. They did not know that I was i'm side the house here, just waiting for them to step upon the porch !! I 'spect they won't bother us for some time !" But the nice poor man was mistaken ! The more thumps and bumps the two witches received the more they desired to capture the Rag gedys and own the two magic books, the house on wheels and | h e magical hobby horse to ride upon.
 And so, when their heads quit hurting, they stopped. and sat down. Just you wait until I get my hands on Raggedy Ann '" Minga Witch howled.

I can remember the time when daily newspapers were carefully kept and stored away. (The habit survived long est in Scotland.) Today many persons having read a magazine from cover to cover, having got all they could out of it, and having not the slightest inten- tion of ever looking at it again, will still hesitate to rid themselves of it. You will find piles of forgotten period ical literature in obscure corners of tens of thousands of ahomes; baggage utterly useless-but collected.
 As for books, the majority of us de- cline to part with any books, however worthless, dull, exasperating they may be. Nearly everybody likes to own books. Even persons who would as soon think of eating book as of read ing it will hold grimly to any books which destiny sends to them. And yet,

More than 1 million dollars is being spent in the Ft. Wayne territory to improve power facilities, and Evansville, which is the only considerable industrial community in the lower Wabash and Ohio River territory, is witnessing the investment of 1-2 million dollars.

PRISON IN OPEN AIR
Holland Makes An Experiment II
 Treatment Of Offenders

In Holland successful experiments were made with outdoor prisons early in 1923. Sixty prisoners were drafted to the town of Veeenhuizen, to serve their terms there. Their task was to convert mOorland into cultivated field, and they showed themselves very in dustrious in the undertaking.
 They are divided into gangs, each con taining a few persons, but are not su- pervised or watched by any sort of war den or official, where prisoners may live in common and advance their so- cial sense, unsubjected to supervision.
 The foreman of each gang is, however not prisoner, but a workman who joins voluntarily. It would not be diff ficult to escape under such conditions but no one has attempted to do so. The environment is much more favorable than in an ordinary prison, and the Dutch government is about to set ur several centers of this sort.-Manches' ter Guardian.

The WeU-Dressed Man

z Styles Af0Ot

THE venerable Darwinian theory
 applies as aptly to style as to
 anything else. What, in the course of experience proves to be the fittest for its purpose is ultimately ac- cepted as the standard of it's type. For many years silk hosiery was look ed upon as the ultimate of elegance for both day and evening wear. Today silk is largely reserved for formal dress, because it is not so suitable for the rub-and-scuff of daily use. Lisle and silk-and-wool socks have stepped into vogue with lounge clothes and wool alone is preferred for the sports, be- cause it Is so absorbent.
 Perhaps the smartest hose to pair off with the Tuxedo suit is the sheer black ribbed sock which clings closely to the ankle. Another one is the silk sock with narrow open clock. Then, of course, there are the black silks with either black or white side clocks ar various shaded and Jacquarded effects. Only black hose are permissible with evening clothes, although very dark

 To Accumulate.
 It is notorious that many persons possess valuable objects. They learn by sheer accident that the objects were valuable. They themselves have mo interest in such objects. They cannot appreciate, and do not pretend to ap- preciate either the rarity or the beauty of the objects. They might sell them for large sums and employ the money to obtain other objects which they could enjoy. But will they? Not they :! The objects are theirs, a part of their collected baggage, associated with them selves, and money cannot tempt them to let go. .t'
 And persons will adopt a similar at titude toward objects which have no monetary value, no value of any sort.

"NoAH's AGE' WAS FAXED.
Ancient Historians Hid Ignorance byI
 Stretching Life Span.

PHILADELPHIA- that the Hebrews and Babylonians faked" the ages of Noah, Methuselah and other personages to disguise their ignorance of history are advanced by Dr. Howard Chiera, professor of Assyriology at the University of Pennsylvania, in paper submitted to the Crozer theological seminary.
 Dr. Chiera told of the discovery of a four-sided Babylonian prism in which the age of Noah was given at 64,SO0 years. He declared that the Babylon ians did not actually believe that their legendary heroes lived to such ages, but that they were certain the world was far older than they had definite know ledge of and consequently forced to in+j vent new heroes or to make the life of such as they had stretch over the whole period of which they had fragmentary records. In this manner, Dr. Chiera said, the lives of eight kings before Hammurabi were said to total 241 200 years, while ten other monarchs were credited with a span of 432,000 years.
