Householder
Husbands

CE1OUR or five years from now Los Angeles
u is going to offer to a grateful world the
most remarkable crop Of young husbands ever
raised.
These priceless specimens of young man
hood will know how to cook and what to cook;
they will understand all the mysteries of die
tetics and nutrition; they will be models of Ell
quette, even when confronted suddenly with
an uncarved turkey; they will know how to
take care Of their own clothing and to furnish
a. house artistically. They will understand
about budgeting home finances and giving the
wife a regular allowance. They will be trained
for all branches of fatherhood, including child
nurture and moral education.
A group of Los Angeles high school boys
decided they wanted to know these things and
asked their school to teach them. The result
was home economics course for boys.
Possibly this new trend toward honey
husbands is the solution to the problem of bust
ness wives.
But seriously, isn't misunderstanding a
wise and far-seeing thing! Doesn't it fill a
long felt need?
With such course, the school department
may be doing more for the future Of marriage
and home life than it could accomplish with a
dozen training classes for girls.
Girls should learn home-making, and they
do, but that is not enough. The responsibility
of the home is joint one, and if both husband
and wife approach it with skill and under
standing there is bound to be less friction, less
difficulty and more happiness in married life

Let's Keep Our Industry

KY7O city can grow unless its industries
IN grow with it. The backbone of every
large city is industry. Indianapolis is no ex-
ception.
There is a constant rivalry among cities
for life giving industry. The city with the
most smokestacks usually is the most prosper
Gus and prosperity and wealth of material
things is one of the ends most of us are striv-
ing to reach, regardless of how much we may
sheer at the Rabbits in public.
Indianapolis must take its place in this
contest for industrial supremacy If it is to
progress or even to retain that degree OF pros
perity and standing in the business world
which it already possesses.
A case in point is the Ford assembly plant
on E. Washington St. Although many may not
realize it the making of Ford automobiles is
one of the important industries in Indianapolis.
This plant spends $1,5O0OOO annually in pay
roll alone, and virtually every cent of this
money is spent in Indianapolis by the work
men.
This plant can turn out $4,000 automobiles
every year for sale in Indiana and illinois, 1t
is a tremendous business in itself.
losing this industry-and Indianapolis is in no
position to lose any industry. There is no
need of our fooling ourselves about our situa-
ton.
.rs Ford may move out of Indianapolis be-
cause Of a situation that has in it more of
politics than of common sense

Oriental St. when the railroad tracks there are
elevated. This means Encouragement of the
Ford plant which in turn will meantan addi-
tional expense of approximately $5OO,0OO a
year to Ford. Ford is not willing to stand this
loss and as an alternative probably will take
his factory and go elsewhere
If closing Oriental St. meant the close of
access from Washington st. to those who live
south of the Ford plant, we would not for mo-
ment advocate such action.
But it means nothing of the kind Plans

TWICE MARRIED,
STILL SINGLE

@VELYN CRISMAN. 17-year-
r. / old girl, and mother of a
III child, was freed from big
amy charge by a Jeffersonville
Qnd) judge. Though twice we'd
ded-with certificates to prove it
he held she had not been legally
married-hence no bigamy.
When she was 10 years old, she
married youth of 10 without her
parents consent. One Of Jeffer-
sonville's marrying squires tied
the knot. The matrimonial bark
soon foundered.
Three years later, without the
formality of divorcing her first
husband, she married another 80
year-old youth. Again an oblig-
ing Jeffersonville marrying squire
with eye only on the fee, per-
formed the ceremony. This VEN
ture also was without the par
ents' consent.
Her matrimonial experience is a
fine recommendation of the ro-
mantle possibilities of the mar
riage traffic in the Clark County
Gretna Green!
The girl. scarcely beyond the
lollipop age, has two husbands,
two regular and genuine marriage
certificates and a child. And the
marrying squires have the fees.
Yet she is single.
OF course she is open ito condem-
nation for her part in the matri-
monial travesties. But what about
the magistrates who performed
the ceremonies? Society believes
marriage is a sacred institution,
but to the marrying squires it is
only a sordid scramble for fees.
They tie for price the knots that
the courts and society have to I'M
ravel.

Third, that selective method be
instituted whereby skilled artisans,
for example, badly needed in certain
localities can come to America with
out delay.
"A selective immigration system
should be worked out whereby Mr..
Blank, a manufacturer in Indian
apolis, who needs a dozen or fifty
skilled workmen for his factory will
be able to write the department of
his needs and The department in
turn will notify the American con-
sular officers who will endeavor to
find the men," Mr.. Davis said in
explanation Of his selective plan. "a
selective immigration system can be
worked out with a minimum of red
tape, which 1 am confident will
prove highly satisfactory"
RATIOS TO STAND
Secretary Davis said he will not
recommend any changes in the pres
ent ratios Of various countries
whereby immigration now is limited
to approximately 100000 a year.
Most of the hardships of the
present law" he declared, "revolve
around the separation of families.
Former immigrants who are doing
well in the United States should be
encouraged to bring their families to
this country. Their presence con-
tributes to their happiness, their
love of country and makes them bet
ter citizens in every respect. The
law at present forces long waits and
often much hardship"
The first year of the new law
will close June 80. It's operation
has been highly satisfactory, in the
opinion Of Mr.. Davis.
IF the immigration law is changed
to include the amendments I have
in mind. it will be made a very
humane document and at the same
time will carry out the intent of
the American people,

SAFETY IN
MINING

C~1OAL mining is not nearly
III so hazardous a vocation
~ as it has been pictured,
declared a statistical expert, adj
dressing the National Coal Asso-
citation recently. The Indiana
farmland is a greater insurance
risk than the Indiana miner.
According to the insurance sta
tistics seventy-seven industries in
Indiana rank as more hazardous
than mining.
The statistics indicating the
comparative safety of coal min
ing must be very comforting to
the flfty-one Hoosier miners who
lost their lives in the Sullivan dis
aster a few months ago. Also to
the thirty miners entombed in
West Virginia, and the score in
North Carolina, in the past two
months.
Perhaps filling station attend
ant, bank clerk or a collector
for chain grocery, runs more
risk in his daily job than a coal
miner Mining may compare IA
vorably with preaching in ply

terest only to statisticians.
is mining as safe as it could
be? If lives are needlessly sacri-
feed underground, through failure
to provide every possible safe
guard, mining is too hazardous
regardless of it's ranking with
other occupations.
-Four times as many men, in
proportion to the numbers en-
ployed, are killed annually in coal
mining accidents in the United
States as in England. In no Euro
pean country is coal as costly in
lives as in America.
While that difference exists,
though mining in America may
be a safe vocation, it is not safg
enough.

For years residents Of the

sought to divert the present barn

WI Selective immigration will be

says, that a satisfactory -selective

would fish out the geld money she
has slowed away in old stockings,
the sugar bowl, the baby's bank, be-
hind the clock on the mantel, be-
tween the mattresses and elsewhere,
and set it to earning something, she
could about pay interest on what
she owes to the United States, and
never feel 1t.
She wouldn't feel 1t because this
money isn't doing Europe any good
anyway.
II it were invested and Europe
were drawing dividends on it, yes,
she could say, IN be getting just
that much less myself If hand any
Of this income over to the Ameri-
cans"
But she isn't drawing any divl-
dends on 1t. 1t simply is lying idle.
In fact, Europe actually would be
better off for putting it out at in
terest and letting the United States
have said interest, because then the
interest that she isn't paying to this
country wouldn't be piling up on her,
as at present.
This thought came to the surface
following publication Of stories of the
vast amount Of gold which made its
appearance in England when the
British government proclaimed a re-
turn to the gold standard.
Up to that moment there simply
hadn't been any gold in circulation
from the time the war started, or a
few weeks later.
Up to August, 1914. the bulk Of
England's retail business was trans
acted in actual gold metal. There
were no bills smaller than pounds,
or little under $25.
For everything less than that the
medium OF exchange was sovereign
and half sovereign pieces, respec-
lively about SIS and $3.50. with silver,
Of course, for small change.
With the wars outbreak all this
gold vanished in almost less than no
time. The government and the
banks grabbed all they could get
their hands on and stopped paying
anymore ont. buttons andstons OF

the stuff remained unaccounted for.
People hid it. They couldn't ship
1t out Of the country but they could
and did hang onto It.
But when the gold standard was
restored they had no reason for
boarding any longer. II they let go
Of the gold they had and wanted
more they could get 1t, which they
couldn't have done previously.
So, as suddenly as it had disap-
peared, back into circulation came
coolies Of gold again.
Now, the point tho treasury de-
partment makes is that if this money
had been out at per cent interest
1t would have earned half as much
as the total amount OF It. during the
ten years it's been buried, to all in
tents and purposes.
Well, Britain has uncovered her
hoard but France hasn't uncovered
hers. It's estimated that she has
two billions tucked away, counting
gold and silver.
Five per cent on that much for
ten years would have been a billion,
which Is a quarter as much as the
French debt to the United States.
Another thing. The treasury de-
partment points out that a gold
dollar was good for a gold dollars
worth, when it's owner hid it in 1914;
now It represents only so cents
worth.
While recognizing that economy'a
an excellent thing, the treasury de-
partment argues that the economist
can overdo it, or. at any rate, that
he can, economic injudiciously.

A QUESTION
OF CREDIT

rN1OLICE CAPTAIN ROY A.
III POPE, generalissimo of the
~ special bank guards, feels
sighted. Although he furnished
the information that led to the
arrest of three suspects, another
police officer who slated them
didn't name him as one Of the
arresting officers.
The mayor has ordered the board
of safety to investigate why the
incensed captain was not given
credit for the capture. Another
departmental tempest in a teapot
brews.
Perhaps a horrible injustice was
done. But the ordinary private
citizen who pays the police salaries
won't get very excited over it. He
doesn't care what officer arrests
outlaws just so they are arrested.
Indianapolis has been over-run
with bandits, hold-ups, burglars.
The situation has become critical,
and emergency measures have
been undertaken to curb the law
lessness.
Meanwhile the police depart
ment is torn with internal strife,
factionalism and petty jealousies.
Politics, municipal and depart
mental, consume the time, attep-
ton and effort of high officers. The
rank and file are shifted hitler
and yon and up and down until
it is not surprising that morale
is gone and banditry come.
The plain citizen would be
perfectly satisfied If the police
officers would gel the outlaws and
let the credit go. If the police
officers would bend ali their efforts
to cleaning Up the town they
would find there would be enough
credit to go around. They wouldn't
have to, bible oyersthe crumbs.
