Hemon has written in a brilliant
classical style. His picture of a
great nothern winter is a word
painting that will rank among the
really fine things in modern liter
allure.
The chief character is Maria Chap
delaine, French Canadian girl of
the great cold north in winter and
a girl of the great warm north in
summer.
Maria knew nothing about flap
pers. She was devout N her faith
and she felt as she watched the won
ders of the church and of nature
that some day a great joy would
come into her life.
She lived with her father, mother,
brothers and a sister in one of those
places which gazes out upon raw ma
ture. Her father and her brothers
were constantly fighting the unseen
as we'll as the visible forces of Ma
ture. They had to clear land before
1t was plowed.
Maria was not a simple minded
young woman. She realized that
evil existed in the world but knew
that it would never enter her life.
She knew that by being a good and

POLICE
DISCIPLINE

thief RIKHOFF recently
promulgated a stern edict
- against policemen smoking
on duty. officers violating this ell
ementary rule of police discipline
will have their jobs snatched right
out of their hands, he declared.
A few days before the chief. in
a special proclamation, forbid pa
trolmen to cover their beats in
street cars. Street car patrolling
has been banned under police rules
for years.
Not long before that a special
order was issued to traffic police
men to pay strict attention to bust
ness and stop the practice of ban
tering one another while on duty
Such edicts following each other
in rapid succession indicate that
discipline-the foundation Of an ef-
cient police force-in the Indian
apolis police department is en-
forced by special edicts and spasms
Of activity. After a particularly
fragrant act of banditry, or I'M
usual splash of the crime wave, a
cleanup order goes out. For
twenty four hours Migrants,
DRINKS and crap-shooters are ruth
lessly hunted.
Then comes another furry Of
major crime. another cleanup or
der, and another twenty-four-hour
furry of police activity. And so
on.
When the spasm is on officers
are shifted hither and yon--and
the crime wave continues to roll
merrily. The past weekend there
was such g. shift of assignments.
Sunday yeggmen blew a safe in a
FIT. Wayne Ave. grocery in broad
daylight and escaped with $3.50.
Perhaps the department has in
sufficient men. But lack of men
Is not entirely responsible for the
lack of effectiveness of the Indi-
annapolis police department. Able
bodied officers are assigned to in
consequential duties that could be
performed by women or children.
That and the spasmodic discipline
and spasmodic clean-ups destroy
the forces efficiency.

| FLIRTING
| WITH DEATH

~7HANCE K1NSLEY, Indian
IL apolis automobile race
III driver, was killed Sunday
when his car was wrecked on a
dirt speedway near Hammond.
He had raced on dirt tracks for
ten years.
Automobile racing at best Is
dangerous. An appalling number
of drivers have finished their
careers. their cars and themselves
by smashing through a fence.
Most Of the fatalities occur on the
small dirt tracks that dot the
country.
There is more than speed and
flirting with death in the Memorial
day classic on the Indianapolis
brick speedway. 1t is a proving
ground for testing new ideas in
motor car construction. From 1t
have come Improvements in motor
design Of great Importance to the
automobile industry.
Innovations incorporated in the
construction and design Of the
shooting comets of the speedway
bricks, and found good. are found
in sta1d family BUSES a couple of
years later.
But the automobile races on
small dirt tracks serve no such
useful purpose. They merely
crafty the spectators mania for
speed and give him a thrill as the
drivers flirt with death They
contribute no more to civilization
than a Spanish bullhght or a
Roman gladitorial show.
AS long IS such races are popu-
lar we'll have a hard time proving
we are more humane and en-
hghtened than the old broken-nose
Roman. There is not much
difference between a spectator
who thrills to see an automobile
race driver spatter his anatomy
all over the back stretch and a
spectator who cheers hoarsely at
sight OF a gladiator being hacked
to pieces by a sword.

EV7 HEN President Coolidge s thought is I'M
[Wl hampered by the pressure of political di-
plomacy and he gives free rein to his fancy he
shows fondness for adventure in the realms
of ideaiism.
His address at the Norwegian centennial
celebration in Minnesota was non-political and
his mind seemed to be having thoroughly
good time. Result: An interesting address.
This particular celebration commemorated
he arrival of Norwegian immigrants in 1928,
after the successful American revolution and
the firm establishment of the United States as
an independent nation.
Having discoursed on the motives that
had prompted earlier immigration to these
shores from Europe, largely stimulated from
the other side, the President came to the i'm
migration encouraged from this side of the At
Lantic after the establishment Of our govern
ment
''From the time when their fast-develop-
ing institutions of popular government, reli-
gious freedom and intellectual liberality had
come to take definite and attractive forms, -
says Mr. Coolidge, the people of the colonies
took new interest in inducing their European
relatives to follow them thither. They en-
gagged in an inverted crusade, conquest with
out invasion and without force. The new
country offered not only material opportuni-
ties, but possibilities of spiritual and intellec
tual emancipation which they ardently wished
their friends on the other side to share. Citi-
zenship in the new world meant something
that it had not meant in the DID, 1t was seen
that the new world offered something new.
There was an increasing realization that many
burdensome traditions and institutions had
somehow been shed. Here, at last, THE INDI-
VIDUAL WAS LORD OF HIMSELF, MAS
TER OF HIS OWN DESTINY, KEEPER OF
HIS OWN SOVEREIGNTY. HERE HE WAS
FREE"
President Coolidge can devote himself to
no greater crusade than to lead the fight to re-
store this country to the blissful condition he
so eIoquently describes as existing in 1925
A thoughtful survey of his country today,
