TARvIA AND TRIBULATION

Just why the Valley Turnpike
should have been made the Nemesis
of motorists is beyond the ken of
owners of sport models of Henry's
and those who possess limousines.
Anathema has been heaped on road
experts who may be entitled to a
halo, and all because the great
arteriaf highway from the Potomac
South has been trimmed with coat
ing which has increased the dividends
of tire manufacturers and made the
dealers in tar-remoyer sit up at night,
counting their additional shekels.
Just why the whole roadway should
have been plastered with the stygian
sickness which tests mems religion,
and almost makes tourist hate affiu-
ence enough to possess a car, can only
be unravelled in the brains of those
who have made the Valley Turnpike
a nightmare to travellers and source
of sourness to the strangers within
our gates.
Just as easy could the roadway
have been tarvied on either side,
leaving a decent pathway for car
owners. and now that the damage is
done. an order has gone forth to 'tar
one side at the time"
Then. why should there be spread
on the spray, spalls of limestone
which fly through the air like the
small shots which tickled the jungles
in the Argonne?
Is it a matter of especial engineer
ing knowledge that after the spread
ing of the highway molasses, a coat
of fine gravel could be laid and rolled
holding the binder and preventing
the ruin of cars?
They do it in other states.
Probably a thousand or more cars
pass through Woodstock each day
and travel between the barricade. 1t
is more than probable that the dam
age to tires, enamel and cleaning
costs would average two dollars a
car. This would mean $4,000 a day,
due to negligence.
and travia one side at the time, along
the Valley Turnpike
Let's hope that the damage done
will teach a lesson for the future.

WRIST BROKEN IN MOUTH
OF ENRAGED BEAR

Manuel Gallegos, a sheep herdeI
of Del Norte, Colo. met a grizzly bear
in a hand-to-hand encounter last
Sunday and lives to tell the tale. Gal
legos limped into town yesterday with
a broken wrist, severe body bruises
and fractured cheekbone.
While searching for stray sheep,
Gallegos stumbled on a sleeping fe-
male grizzly.
He was severely cuffed by the en-
ragged animal before his dog distract
ed the bears attention long enough
to allow his master to escape.
Gallegos' wrist was broken when
he plunged his hand into the bears
mouth in attempting to ward off the
attack.

Call OF THE TREES

said, Indian build small fire; sit
close by; white man build big fire;
sit far off. Both all right, but how
about wood SUPPLY"
The primitive suggestion passed
unheeded. The cutting, burning and
clearing went merrily on.
Today we have about two-fifths
OF the standing timber that our fore
fathers found here. and 1t is not
such good timber.
Admitting that we needed to use
what we have, and that the raw
ages Of fire could not be prevented,
we Right have done more replant
| ing.
It is a general rule in China to
plant a tree whenever one is cut
down.
The forests of China remain fairly
well intact after 1000 years.
We Americans can not pursue the
policies we have in the past without
exhausting our forests in less than
400 years.
Common sense suggests that we
change our course.
Trees have made, and they car
break, nations.
This is spring. when ell Nature is
astir and replacing her lost life.
Why not help Nature. especially
with reference to the trees?

Old Man Joy
BY Hal Cochran

Say, want you to meet a friend
of mine, for a regular guy is he. He
always is springin' classy line, and
he's cheerful as he can be. You'll
never regret If you shake his hand
and feel that he's well worth while.
for after a time you'll understand
that he teaches you how to smile.
Just where does he live? Well.
any place, where the people will let
him in. His entrance fee is a smiling
face, or at least it's a cheerful grin.
You can't go wrong If you tie to
him and just make him lifelong
friend. He'll help you to keep your
pep in trim, from the start to the
very end.
Lou'll never admit that you like to
frown or get caught In case Of
blues. Your spirit gets suddenly up
side down If the bright side of life
you lose. So. stick out your NIT and
shake the hand Of this all-time
regular boy. Just give him a chance
to show his sand--be friendly with
Old Man Joy.

"A 'Tree-Crop' Law

fT HE United States is the only major coun-
IL try in the world without national for
est policy, says Charles Lathrop Pack, presi-
dent of the American Tree Association, COM
menting on Forest Week." which begins
April 81.
President Byram Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway, says one-fourth
of the lumber cut of 1922 came from five States
served by his road, F." said Pack, ''Those States
are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Idaho Washington
and Montana.
tThis situation brings forcibly to mind
that the public is now paying $25OOOO,OOO a
year in freight rates to get forest products
from distant points to the points of greatest
consumption
The consumer cannot stand this situation
much longer. The Architectural Forum has
just issued statement that says the building
program for 1925 means an expenditure OF
$50,000,000,000 Alot Of that is going to be
spent for lumber.

such crop coming along every year just as
we depend upon the annual crop of wheat OF

THE CONVENTION
INDUSTRY PAYS

-~7NDIANAPOL entertained
264 conventions last year
I large small and medium.
So declared Chamber OF Commerce
officials at dinner Monday night
to promote interest in the activi-
ties of the convention bureau.
Already 1853 conventions are
scheduled here this year, including
such large gatherings as the Ma
tional Education Association and
national dairy exposition. The
reputation as a convention city is
deserved.
Doubtless this gratifies civic
pride But there is. more sub
stantlal gain than fattening of To-
cal pride. Such meetings, draw
ing visitors from far and near,
advertise the city most favorably.
These may be intangible profits
good ~ the community, but not
Instantly negotiable. However,
bringing conventions to the city
is pleasing for another reason.
They ring the local cash registers.
1t is estimated that $10,OO0,0OO
to $12,OO0,OOO will be spent in In
dianapolis this year by convention
visitors.
Every visitor thus drawn hither
brings, besides his ebullient en-
thusiasm, a bank roll. He must
eat, sleep and satisfy physical
wants in intervals between ses-
slons and parades. He takes away
pleasant memories Of the occasion,
but he leaves hard cash to circu-
late in civic veins.
So delegate, with bit OF RIB
bon on his lapel, is more than prey
for taxicab drivers and hotel
clerks. He symbolizes the conven-
ton industry, which is worth cul-
tivating in Indianapolis.

A PROFESSIONAL
JAIL BREAKER

~7ALPH LEE, awaiting trial
TX for murder of an Indian
0 apolis grocer, escaped from
the jail at Franklin the other
night. While the law" slept he
sawed through two sets Of bars
and vanished.
Two months ago he escaped
from the same Jail by picking a
lock and dashing over the pros
trate form of a deputy. He was
recaptured a couple of days later.
He is Indiana's champion Jail
breaker. In a hectic criminal
career of fourteen years he has
escaped from penal institutions six
times before the Franklin cpl
sodes. Bars do not make a prison
for him-just a resting place be-
tween jumps.
Despite this record, however,
when held in this county for muir
der he was removed on a change
of venue to a small town jail.
Probably It is a good Jail, where
reasonable precautions are OBJ
served, but an enterprising villain
can pay, himself loose from aver
age county jails with a can
opener.
In olden days desperadoes OF his
caliber. were adorned with balls
and chains and thrust into dun
geons. There they stayed until
trial-and afterwards. The Count
of Monte Cristo didn't escape
every few minutes.
Perhaps our present bumanita-
rianism is better. However. in our
anxiety to give desperate criminals
fair trials we give them every adj
vantage and abundant opportuni-
ties to escape. There's not much
use in capturing desperadoes If
they can't be held.

NO MEAN POLITICS
1. BILL ARMITAGE GATHERED INTO
THE FOLD

TAIMONG the numerous problems at present
lEAI confronting various factions in the city
campaign is that Of what to do with Bill Armi-
tage. Bill, you know, is gentleman who has
had very considerable to do with the Shank
administration. 1t also is reliably reported
that Bill can answer such weighty questions
as that of whether straight flush beats four
Of kind.
Bill didn't fare so well during the Jewett
administration There were other favorites
then and he was given to understand that he
was extremely unpopular with Charlie Jewett,
Ralph Lemcke and the Indianapolis News.
Nevertheless, Bill continued to wear his dia-
mond tiepin and his striped suit and to go
about generally in the city
But when the Shank administration took
hold Of things, Bill proceeded to blossom out.
His next-door neighbor. Herman Rikhof,
tailor, was made chief of police. Bill went into
the asphalt business and made desperate but
somewhat, unsuccessful effort to have his
particular brand specified exclusively for street
construction.
Bill did not have ali Office in the city hall,
although he could usually be found there. His
office was next door to the city hall, where he
was on call for any emergency. The asphalt
business, proving not quite so profitable as it
might, Bill went into the business Of selling
stone for curbing. The city, of course, puts
In lot Of curbs during the year
All of this did not set very we'll with
Charlie Jewett, Ralph Lemcke and the Indian

IA will when city is governed by political
factions.
Cap Coffin arose the horizon, got him
self elected one Of the two Republican. city
chairmen, picked himself out candidate for
Mayor and set out to run things his own way.
Charlie Jewett and Ralph Lemcke didn t
like the idea. Neither did Lew Shank. CAP
had a faction of his own all framed up and
running before Charlie and Ralph and Lew
were fairly aware Of it. Caps faction was
threatening to become more powerful than that
Of Charlie and Ralph, or that of Lew.
So Charlie and Ralph and Lew got to-
gether and, as matter not of choice but of
Belf-defense, decided to combine their two
factions and run Ralph for mayor.
All this was lovely, despite thesfact that
Charlie wore silk socks and Lew continued to
