A Sermon for Today
BY Rev. John &. Gunn.

Text: "Why art thou cast down,
o my soul"-Ps. 43:5.
- CALLED one day to see a
man in his Office, and found
~ him in high glee. He seemed
to be walking on the mountainous.
Another day I called On the same
man, and found him down in the
dumps" He seemed to be cropping

will do it?" l asked one of his
friends. The reply was, 1T depends
on his mood"
There are many such people, who
are subject to varying moods and
whose course of action Is determined
by those moods. Not motives. but
moods. govern them in everything
they do. They are ruled by the pas
sion of the moment, rather than by
a fixed principle or policy. You can
never be sure Of what they are go
ing to do about anything. They live
a spasmodic life.
Such people are to be pitied. Life
is bound to be a disappointment to
them. They do well when in high
mood. In their better moods they
are responsive to the best things,
and successful enough in whatever

Glands
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

RRE you paying enough attention to your
- glands'
It's imperative these days, and all sensi-
BILE people are taking up the study Of this lat
est medical fad. We're all reading and talk
ing and thinking about glands and such glands
as, up to a short time ago, few of us knew were
in existence.
1t seems that ali over our bodies and es-
pecially in our throats there are innumerable
very tiny, but extremely important, glands
which, like small interchangeable soldiers, must
be functioning just exactly right, or there will
be something wrong with us and that some
thing will be radical
Some of these medical experts are always
finding new menace to keep us worked up
about. Not so long ago it was your appendix
This hitherto unknown danger had slumbered
in our vitals for generations until the doctors
started to cutting them out and there was then
the most terrible epidemic of appendicitis that
has ever been known before or since.
Then we, had the tonsils. Nearly all our
ailments were traced directly or indirectly to
these insignificant bits of human anatomy, and
tonsils by the thousands were dug out.
And after that it was our teeth. At our
slightest pain we rushed to the dentist and had
all our molars yanked out, and the assiduous
D. DIS relieved us of our rheumatism and our
angina pectoris as they pulled our teeth.
We have been saved from the grave over
and over again, but just as fast as we begin to
feel secure and think we have a chance to live
to ripe old age somebody else announces that
we are in imminent peril from new source.
Now these glands-its really alarming
what an influence they exert over you whether
you know it or not. If you suddenly start to
put on flesh or if you begin to pine away, it is
as likely as not that some gland has gone on a
strike. If you are too crazy about the opposite
sex, or utterly Indifferent to amorops over
lures, something is almost certain to be amiss
with gland. If you are coarse and vulgar, or
bit of moron, or inclined to want to beat
your mother-in-law, some one of these pestifer-
GUS glands is only hitting on one cylinder
Whatever you do, don neglect to study
this new menace to mankind. Get one of the
numerous books upon the subject and after you
have read about the dangers that hang over
you, go right on being carefree and happy, if
you can.
But if you do, after all that, you may count
upon it. You have gland trouble.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-12-04

they may be engaged in doing. But
soon they fall into a low mood. and
then everything changes. They be-
come irresponsible. and whatever
they touch seems to go badly. The
result is defeat and failure, and
oftentimes the loss of all that was
gained during the period OF their
more favorable mood.
There are some who try to justify
these changes of mood. They say
nature has her moods, and so have
men. 1t is not always summer in
the fields, and you can't expect 1t
to be in the soul. There are days
Of sunshine and days when the sky
is overcast with clouds, and so Is
must be in the souls OF men. But
it is not so in all mems souls. 1t
need not be so in yours. You have
the God-given power to control your
moods, II you will but assert 1t and
make the effort. "Why art thou
cast down, o my soul?" cried the
psalmist. He knew there was no
excuse for it. Neither is there any
excuse in your case. Put your trust
In God, use the power He has given
you, and you will soon find yourself
a victor over all your fits and moods,
instead OF being their victim.

AN IDEAL
HIGH SCHOOL

ca. M. AIKEN of st. Louis.
NNI head of progressive
school and educator of
high standing. told an Indianapo-
lis audience the other night that
high schools should never exceed
one thousand pupils and should be
located on sites with ample
grounds for the physical welfare
of pupils
A forty-acre campus and one
thousand pupils. That's the ideal
high school. How far Indianapolis
high schools fall short of the ideal.
They can't even see it with teIe-
scope.
In the three high schools in the
city enrollments are more than
double what the educational ex-
perts believe can be handled ef-
ficiently. And one-Techn!cal-
has student body numbering over
Ave thousand. the population of a
third-class city. With such I'M
wieldy student bodies. there is not
much chance for personal attention
to the development of individual
pupils.
OF the three. only Tech has a
campus At Manual and Short
ridge the buildings cover every
inch of available space. They have
no grounds whatever around them
that might be used In promoting
the pupils physical welfare.
Shortridge, prehistoric pile Of
brick, is so cluttered and crowded
that there isn't room in class for a
student to turn over an idea. And
as for facilities for physical devel-
opment in the open air. a pupil
would have to get out in the mid
die of the street car tracks to wig
gle his ears.
Judged by any modern educa-
tional standards, the high school
situation in Indianapolis is dis
graceful Yet, despite the obvious
need for better school facilities to
make the school system halfway
adequate and decent-not ideal
a handful of anguished taxpayers
makes it as hard to put through
a new high school here as it is for
a rich man to get into Heaven.

RIGHT HERE
IN INDIANA
.By GAYLORD NELSON

year but a quarter OF a million
dollars is tidy sum to come in
to be rung up on the cash register
Of a State department. The con-
servation department gives a good
representation Of a profitable en-
terprise.
However. it is not intended pri-
marily to be a money-making in
stitution. The work of the con-
servation department Is to pre-
serve some OF lndiana's natural
beauty of woods, hills and
streams, including wild life furred.
feathered and scaled. All for the
enjoyment of present and future
Hoosiers.
Twenty thousand more people
visited the State parks last year
than the previous year. Ten
thousand more hunters and fisher
men bought licenses than in 1924
and were drawn out Of doors to
woods, fields and waters.
EXCEPT for conservation work
game, fish and scenery would
soon disappear from Indiana.
So the conservation department,
II it succeeds in saving frag-
ment of our outdoor heritage and
in Turing more Hoosiers each year
out to a closer contact with nature
than they get by falling on city
pavement, is a mighty profitable
enterprise even II it doesn't take
in cent.

Irritating
BY Hal Cochran

mi HEN yer buried in yer labor
and yer tryin' hard Ia think,
1 and lot OF things are run
min through yer mind, the man who
starts to whistle sure kin put va on
tic blink, and set yer daily workin's
far behind.
It's simply irritatin' when a shrill
note rents the air, and plays a dull
tattoo upon yer ears. At times the
sweetest whistle seems a mean
nerve-racking blare. that thrives
upon the trend of thought 1t smears.
The man who turns ia whistlin'
doesn't do 1t just for spite. It's Just
his way Of bringin' out his cheer. A
tune may kinda haunt him and he
let's 1t come to light, forgettin' that
it posters those who hear.
Let's build an auditorium where
whistlers may collect, and let their
whistllng habit loudly throb. Just
give 'em all the chance they need
and then we may expect, they'll be
too tired to whistle on the job.

DuvaII Campaign Fund

GERTAIN corporations did contribute to
NJ the Duvall campaign fund. The same
corporations did not contribute to the, Duvall
campaign fund.
We have both these statements on good au-
thority. In fact they are both the sworn state
ments of the same man; the sub-treasurer Of the
Duvall-for- Mayor Club.
The first of the swern statements was
dated Nov 81 and the second was dated Dec. 2.
The second statement declares that on Dec
the first was found to be in error. The error
was discovered two hours after an indianapolis
Times photographer went to the office Of the
city clerk and Photographed the first state
ment
Regardless of which Of the afidavits we are
expected to believe, the fact remains that GER
tain street paving interests did contribute to
the campaign fund Of Mr.. Duvall. Interests Of
this kind do not usually spend their money
without expecting something in return.
The corrupt practices act has been cited in
connection with the Duvall fund. The act
specifies that it shall be an offense against the
law for corporation to contribute to any
political campaign fund
The question of whether any corporation
did in fact contribute to the Duvall fund is one
that must rest with the grand jury and the
courts. The fact that paving interests con-
tributed seems to be pretty well established.

Highway Department
and the Legislature

"a 7OME Of the Marion County members Of
~ the Legislature, impatient of the long de-
lay in bringing highway department men and
others now under Indictment to trial, are talk
ing about a special session of the Legislature
to investigate the conduct of the highway de-
partment.
This is a drastic step and one which should
be avoided if it is at all possible. The case is
In the courts and should be handled there as
speedily as possible. Of course, politicians are
doing their utmost to convince every one con-
cerned that the trial of the case should be de-
layed.
The truth of the matter is that the last
Legislature was prevented by friends of the
commission from making an investigation.
Members of the assembly who had the interest
of the State at heart were told that the matter
would be speedily handled in the courts and
that questionable acts on the part of the de-
partment would be cleared up.
Meanwhile, the case has not come to trial
and men who are under indictment charged
with conspiracy to embezzle are handling mil
lions of dollars of the taxpayers money. If
the highway department has nothing to fear
from a trial, their political friends are doing
the men under Indictment an injury by at
tempting to delay a showdown.
