ANN EkATI0N
TO INDIANAPOLIS

FRI IIREE annexation ordinances
proposing to add small
IL tracts of land on the south
side to Indianapolis-were present
60 to the city council Monday
night. Also the Beech Grove an
nexation project.
Probably all Of these projects
are meritorious and desirable, both
from the standpoint of the city and
the residents Of the areas in
Yolved.
The extension Of the municipal
boundaries would add population
and wealth to the city. The sec
tons annexed would get police pro
tection-such as it is-city taxes
and other joys by being an integral
part of Indianapolis.
But, if passed, the ordinances
will make the outline Of the city
more Jagged than ever, instead of
smoothing out the boundaries. Al
ready the line inclosing the munich
patty looks as If it suffered from
delirium tremens. 1t wanders In
and out, without rhyme or reason,
like the coastline of Maine, TAX
ing a slice of territory here, omit
ting a slice there.
University Heights is attached TO
the rest of the city by q single
thread-Shelby st. If a man is
being murdered in that thorough
fare he is entitled to police protec-
tion-he is in the city. If he is off
the road on either side he is out
side Of the city. and municipal po-
lice needn't notice his predica-
ment.
Beech Grove, if annexed as pro-
posed, would likewise be attached
to the rest of Indianapolis by a
single street-Churchncan Ave. On
the map, University Heights and
Beech Grove would dangle from
the face of the city like a pair of
Jet ,vampirish ear pendants.
Such irregular boundaries COM
plicate municipal administration,
and hamper extension of utilities
and public improvements. They are
unnecessary. AS, the city grows,
the boundaries mSst be extended,
but that should be- in an orderly
manner, not in Jagged streaks.

FIGHTING PARASITES ONE
OF NEW WORKS OF SCIENCE

annually more than a millions deaths
among the sheep in Great Britain.
The disease is the result Of a So
called fluke, a parasitic flat-worm
that lives in the liver of the sheep.
Each fluke lays more than a half
million eggs which pass out of the
sheep and fall to the ground.
They are washed by the rain into
streams and ponds where they hatch
into tiny conical swimming crea-
lures.
These die unles4 they find a snail.
If they do, they bore through the
snairs shell and become parasites
in the snail.
Inside the snail, the organism
turns into a sort Of little sac in
which more young like themselves
develop. From these young, yet an
other sort develop. These resemble
pollywogs but are much smaller.
The pollywog-like creatures swim
about until they come to grass
blades They climb up the blades
and become little inert bodies on the
grass, losing their tails.
Here they die unless a sheep eats
the particular blade Of grass.
If he does. they come to life within
the sheep and grow to full-size
flukes, making their way within the
sheep to his liver where they cause
the disease known as liver-rot.
Now that the history of the fluke
is known, scientists believe that It
will be possible to take steps which
will greatly reduce the chances OF
sheep being inflicted with it.

are for the most part farmers, and
originally owned large tracts of
farm land in various parts of the
country as, for example. in Ian

the sons would grow up and marry,
the father would give to each a
tract of land, usually part Of the
original farm. In this way the large
farms have been broken up and in
tensified farming has resulted. The
people are very conservative and
very thrifty.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Like a Dutch Uncle. "

To talk to some one like Dutch
uncle" is to speak in no uncertain
terms. in sharp and uncompromis1ng
reproof. The first part of the term
Dutch" refers obviously to the re-
puted severe parental discipline of
the people of the Netherlands. I'm
cle," however, has an interesting
story.
Synonymous with uncle in Latin
is "a severe guardian" or stern
castigator" Two ancient illustrations
of this shading of the term are to be
found in poems of the classic author,
Horace, as follows: ITO dread the
castigations of an uncle's tongue,
and Don't come the uncle over me.
1t is this classical connotatlon OF
uncle" lost in correct speech, that
has survived in our modern slang to
throw light on a curious detail of
former day.

Making New Shocked Tunic Blouse
BY MARY MARSHALL.

bodices are cut in peasant style
gracefully disposing of fullness on the
shoulders.
In season and out shocking is con
sidered one of the smartest and pret
tiest of trimmings for baby's clothes
The mother who can smock will find
that a little frock or suit of pongee
or similar silk, with shocking at
neck and shoulders, is excellent for
warm-weather wear.
The white crepe de chine blouse
shown in the sketch has shocking in
red, blue and yellow. giving it a touch
of peasant crudeness. In this case the
slip and blouse are both made of white
crepe de chine, but it would be quite as
satisfactory to wear the blouse with a
separate skirt. providing 1t were oi

blouse designed for sport or general
outdoor wear like this would not have
had long sleeves. but there is per
sistent movement on the part of the
dressmakers and designers to launch
long and sometimes complicated
sleeves at once, and many women
have given up entirely the sleeveless
frock and the frock with very abbre'
waited sleeves save for evening wear.

When packing away evening
gowns for the Summer. sprinkle
pieces of white wax between the
folds of paper they are tied up
in. IL this is used YOU will find
they will not turn yellow.
When sponging or removing
spots from 4 serge dress rub
with a solution of boiling water
to which a little ammonia has
been added Keep adding fresh
boiling water as you use it.
Don't throw away the white
part of asparagus stalk. Cut off
tops and use the rest for soup
stock
If you wish to remove white
wash from a ceiling dissolve
one pound of alum in one gallon
of strong vinegar. Apply with
a brush, let the mixture soak in
well, Scrape and wash.
If milk boils over on the stove
sprinkle the spot with salt. This
will at once remove the disa-
greeable odor.

much that was obscure and doubtful
will with Il little thought become clear
and positive. All the signs denote
that operations related to the profes-
sons or mining will be especially IA
vored 1t is an auspicious occasion

as the indicat tionS. are that there will

A child born tomorrow will be err

good constitution. and though it may
fall sick with frequency and sudden
ness. it will recover just as quickly.
In disposition it will be at times most
charming and attractive. and with
out any apparent cause will quickly
change and become despondent and
moroSe. It's character at times will
be distinguished by great strength of
purpose, while at other times it will
reveal deplorable weakness, during
which periods it will do things to
cause regret and anxiety. In it's af-
fections it will love demonstratively
at one moment and the next will be
cold and Indifferent. 1t will lack
steadfastness and continuity of pur-
pose unless steps are taken in time to
eradicate these Kaleidoscope changes
and measures adopted to insure con-
sistency.
If tomorrow is your birthday ami
verSary. you are too little self-asser.
tive and too submissive to ever attain
any great measure of success. You
lack the essential of self confidence
You possess exceptional ability and
considerable intelligence, but an eX-
cess of diffidence often forces you to
step aside or causes you to be pushed
aside for those with inferior qualifica
tions. Not much can be gained by
blatant self-advertising. On the other
hand. all efforts lead to Guide sac

Your charm of manner endears you
