s. Main St, you may n the girl,
Mrs. William Nye, busy with her
endless tasks. She looks as young
as her age. Her clear blue eyes, her
cheerful smile, and her 1axen hair
Dobbed in the latest cut, make her
a pretty girl. Perhaps she will be in
the backyard hanging up clothes.
Or she might be gathering eggs
from the chickens.
or feeding the four pigs.
Or picking vegetables from her
garden for the evening meal.
Or s%crubbing floors.
Or preparing food for her chill
dren-
Any of these and an almost count
less number Of daily chores that are
hers.
She won't admit the praise that
has been given her, but she won't
hesitate to tel you that she is as
proud as she car be, hat she is con-
tented and that she wouldn't trade
places with anybody.
Her children, Earl, 6; Florence, a;
Robert, 3; Kenneth, 2. and Gordon,
II months, are fat and r~ed-cheeked.
They smile shyly at visitors, but soon
are friendly and telling about how
their dog, Sport, fell down the stairs
and cut his leg, or about the twenty
four new baby chicks. When their
mother calls them or corrects them
they obey willingly.
Remarkable? Yes, if you look at
it hat way Mrs. Nye laughs.

family, but they are more frightened
at the idea than at the experience.

The girl-mother was IA when she
married. Her first baby came in a
year.
II loved children and wanted
them. Why should 1 complain? 1
have what 1 want" she says.
People ask me if 1 realize what
a remarkable thing 1 am doing and
I tell them 1 usually realize it about
10 o'clock every night" She laughs
at that and quickly adds, but 1 am
not complaining. Things are getting
better all the time.
But you mustn't forget my hus-
band" she urges. "He gets up at 5
o'clock every morning, too, works
around here and then sets out to
walk nearly four miles TO the saw
mill-you see, the car is being re.
paired nwo. And then he walks
home at night and works until 10.
How do I make the $40 enough?
Well, it takes care of itself. No.
nothing like a budget. We buy what
we need and don't buy what 1 can
get along without. The house and
land is clear so we have no rent.
That makes it easier.
I'VE aren't saving anything right
now" she explains, because the car
is costing something, but soon we
can put a little aside each week"

THE NEW TELEPHONE RATES

m He Indiana Bel Telephone Company, having obtained the
l privilege of fixing its own rates, naturally is putting an
increase into effect. The public, out of whose hands the right
to regulate public utilities has been taken, can do nothing but
grin and bear it-or do without telephones.
Here is a case of a monopoly, dealing in what has become
a necessity of life, operating without check or hinder, fixing its
own rates and telling the users to go to the neither realms.
AS wesaid Friday, it is to be hoped that the attorney gen
eral and the prosecuting attorney push their receivership suit
against the company in Superior Court to the limit.

In Nee York

NEW YORK. June 2S.-The Demo
cratic national convention. with the
thousands of visitors it brought, isn't
making a dent in New York.
On the streets, in the subways, on
surface and elevated cars there is
no noticeable jam-no more than the
everyday rush-hour maelstrom-
True, in the hotels, there is an
added rush and the loobles are un-
usually well packed with human sar-
dines-but a convention Of shoestring
statesmen always does as much.
Flirtatious old Fifth Ave, which
was the Avenue of States for the
convention parade. is often as gaily
bedecked for the frequent gigantic
parades in which New York takes
little interest. unless halted in a
traffic melee caused by the parade.
Were it not for the screaming
newspaper headlines the Democrats
would come and go as noiselessly
as a buyer for a midwest department
store.
During all conventions in New
York there is noticeable increase in
attendance at points Of alleged pub
lie interest-art galleries, museums,
Coney Island, the Statue of Liberty.
the Woolworth Bldg, the Aquarium
and other places. : New Workers sell
dom visit these places which are Of
so much interest to visitors. They
follow the beaten path-much as you
follow a routine in YOU city. There
are few adventurers here.
The theaters, always crowded, are
packed. That's one recreation New
York takes up seriously.
When l first came to New York, a
few years ago, one Of its ardent
champions piloted me about.
"You can't see anything like this
in Indianapolis he would say.
On a Saturday afternoon the
streets were thronged. He was revel-
ing in it as he guided me along.
Some crowd, eh?" he suggested
enthusiastically.
Yes 1 answered casually, ere
minds me of Indianapolis on circus
day. Is there a show in town?'
He never had been West. He took
my word for it. Never again did he
compare New York to any place
at least to me.
Whether because fashion has de-
creed it or because there was a sale
some place, a large number of New
York girls are appearing in high
neck shirt waists-as accessories to
the stylish tailored suits being worn
All winter their necks were barred,
despite modish furs. Now that sum-
mer is here they imprison their necks
in silken stocks.
They appear rs uncomfortable as
a high school boy in his first full
dress suit.

Is Pola Negri the real name
of the movie actress?
She may have assumed it By

AppollOnia Chalupez. Pola is a con.
traction of her own first name and
Negri she took from Ada Negri, an
italian poetess, whose works she
read.
Is there a word that means
neither optimist or pessimist, but
midway between the two?
Such q word-'pejorist"-was
manufactured by De Morgan. AS
yet it has no place in dictionaries.

who has taken personal charge of
the big Chicago hold-up, there were
sixteen mail hold-ups in 1921;
eighteen in 1922, and six in 1928.
So far bandits have been appre-
hended in Sc per cent of the old
ups and $780, 600 of the $11.217. 600
loot recovered.
Of the sixteen hold-ups staged in
1921 only two remain without ar
rests. A similar record holds for
1922, while all but one of the 1928
hold-ups have been solved.
Gets Its Man
And that's only a starter, Sim
mons explains. For, according to
records, the department is even more
inexorabIe than the famous Canadian
Northwest Mounted, whose get
your man" has become a byaword
in police-and movie-circles.
1.-THE p~ostofice inspector never
quits a trail until the crook is dead
or behind the bars" Simmons stated.
THE criminal world has a whole
some fear of the department because
of the reputation of the inspectors
for keeping at it long after most
officers Of the law are willing to
quit and forget"
To illustrate, Simmons cited the
case of James Johnson, alias Port
land Ned, one of the most famous
safe crackers in the business.
Sixteen years after Johnson blew
the safe OF the postofice at Plym-
outh, n. c., he was arrested and
convicted.
Raking Graveyard
81 didn't think you fellows wers
going to rake the graveyard" he
exclaimed when an inspector clamped
a pair of handouts on him.
THE department contains some of
the cleverest detectives in the world
today" Simmons proudly stated.
Rihings of registered letters in the
Southwest had bafHed the depart
ment for months. By process of elm
ination the thefts were finally mar
rowed down TO one of six postofices.
but the question as TO which one
Of the six it was was not easy to
determine.
One feature of all the thefts was
that the letters were resealed after
being opened, This gave n of the
inspectors at work on the cas- an
idea.
A few weeks later when this in
spector was handed another letter
that had been opened, riled and re-
sealed. he moistened the mucilage on
the ffap and held the envelope to
his nose. He gave a whoop.
Violet" he exclaimed. III have
the thief within a week."
What he had done was to prepare
six lots of mucilage, each with a
different perfume-llac, violet. lily
of the valley, m~ignonette, rose and
heliotrope-and distribute it among
the six offices under suspicion. It
was now only a matter of watching
the office and the thief was soon
caught red-han6ed and convicted.

Because two years ago to-day.

While in this world we stay,
