various services. Those who "opt" for avia-
ton are sent to flying fields for further study.
Our naval cadets, however, henceforward
will study aviation right along with their
other majors, learning Gamblers, aspect ratios,
pressure %centers, observation and plotting, pre-
cisely as they absorb construction, navigation,
tactics and ballistics.
Nothing could be more important or more
helpful. Not only will our future naval officers
be able to coordinate, ~valuate, and assign to
their respective stations the various types of
warcraft, whether on the sea, under the sea, or
in the air, but they will be in a position ever
to build better and better machines.
Thus the art of flying has received it1 big
gest boost.
West Point might well follow Annapolis

OF course the system must be

APPLICANTS
FOR PAROLE

"OVERNOR JACKSON re-
Gently paroled thirteen pris-
III oners in Indiana corrective
and penal institutions upon recon-
mendation of the State pardon
board. Clemency to eight other
petitioners was denied.
Included in the list freed were
four lifers sentenced for murder.
They regained liberty after an
average of fourteen years.
Probably in every case in which
a parole was granted the action
was justified. That such a small
percentage of the petitioners re-
ceived favorable consideration
would indicate that the pardon
BOARD diligently winnowed the
chaff from the wheat.
But despite the few out of many
applicants receiving leniency, pris-
oners are not discouraged from
seeking liberty. Already eighty
five petitions are before the pardon
board for action this month.
Three lifers-after serving an
average Of ten years-want out.
Eighteen prisoners in for short
terms-from six months to two
years-have applied for paroles
after two or three months con-
finement. One burglar, who en-
tered the reformatory less than
three weeks ago for a two-year
term, is already among the appli-
cants for clemency.

'Fo' Me-
BY Hal Cochran

There's a wee little fellow I want
you to meet. Just a regular ty5s
Of a boy. Behavior is good, and his
manner is sweet, and he knows the
full meaning Of joy.
His name is jes' Jack, and he's
CROWN on three. He's q picture OF
health, he's so ruddy. When mothers
around he's her helper, you see, and
with dad, he's a pal and a buddy.
You never would think that a wee
tot like this would be usin' his mind
every day. But Jack never let's any
chance go amiss-you can tell by
the things he will say.
For instance, when daddy comes
home every night, little son is as
cute as can be. He'll pat fathers
pockets; then say, in delight, Say.
what have you got TO- me?"
That's just like a youngster-ex-
pectin' a treat; then, takin' what
comes with q smile. But tots are
so spirit-inspiring and sweet, that
they make wee surprises worth
while.

Indiana Justice

The fine quality of wisdom dis
played by the assembled solons OF
the Hoosier State appears in a COM
parison of the penalties provided for
infractions Of their brand-new, bone
dry" law and the consequent inn
plication Of their conception Of de-
grees Of turpitude.
Thus If a man flies across a corner
Of the State with a bottle Of beer
in the cockpit of his airplane, or
if he motors over into Illinois, gets
two ounces Of brandy on a ply
sician's prescription and carries it
back to the sacredly arid soil Of In
diana, he is guilty of a felony and
may be punished to the extent of
81 900 fine and two years imprison-
ment. On the other hand, If he gets
boiling drunk and in that condition
scorches up and down the highways
with his racing car, ~endangering the
lives of hundreds, he is guilty of a
mere misdemeanor, for which at
most he can be punished with only
$500 fine and six months in Jail.
We should expect legislators
capable Of such discrimination
presently to enact an amendment to
the criminal code providing a fine
Of not more than $3.50 for willful
and premeditated murder, and de-
creeing that any one found guilty of
mispelling the name Of Mr.. Volstead
should forthwith be put to death in
a manner humorous but lingering"
with melted lead or boiling oil, and
without benefit of clersy.-Wash-
ington Post.

FOR THE SAKE
OF ART

m HE John Heron Art In
stitute has received a gift
- OF $1,000 from the Indiana
Poster Advertising Association.
The money is to be used for
scholarships and prizes for the en-
couragement of art students.
OF course some might say the
poster mems donation is in the
nature of a conscience fund"
Art has suffered many indignities
at their hands.
Billboards and posters generally
commit high crimes and mis-
demeanors against art. They do
not soothe the souls of viewers
but arrest their attention. A
chance glance at a poster may
paralyze the optic nerve Of the
beholder. However if it indelibly
impresses "carnation milk from
contented COWS" and similar
messages on him the poster man
IL plSdSSu.
Anyone who has unjointed their
vertebrae peering around these
strident billboards to catch
glimpses Of the beauties Of nature
along the highways might be sus-
picious Of the poster mems de-
votion to art.
Nevertheless the association is
to be commended for its gift. Art
is not a basic industry on which
life, health and economic prosperity
depend. It's just a fiourish-but
love Of beauty is a characteristic
human trait and its expression
affords much pleasure.
Consequently any gift in support
or encouragement of artistic
efforts may mean as much to a
community as a contribution for
some purely unitarian civic pur-
pose.

NEW YORK. October S.--Eoldine
that the mission of the church Is
purely spiritual. the Lutheran Church
of the Synodical Conference, through
the American Lutheran Publicity Bu-

fusing to support any movement to-
ward the enactment of blue law legis
lation.
I'VE deplore the activity so openly
displayed of q large part of American
Professionalism III secular and political
affairs. the statement SAYS "and hold
that such activity not only l. a di-
version of force from the exclusively
spiritual mission of the Christian
church, but is likewise a violation of
that basic principle of our American
Constitution, the separation of church
and state.
Mentioning the Lords Day Alliance
and similar orga niZations as being in
support of such a movement, the
statement says:
The Lutheran Church teaches that
no ecclesiastical body worthy of the
name Christian has the right TO call
upon the state for assistance in carry
ing out the mission of the church.

of the Augsburg confession. the his

erau Church. to the effect that ''aS the
power of the church or of the bishops
confers eternal gifts and is exercised
and exerted only by the ministry, it
cannot by any means interfere with
civil policy and government"
Relative to the activities of the Lu-
therans and the Lutheran Church in
public matters, the statement says:
THE Lutheran Church Is in no
sense Il political organization and her
pastors are not called to represent
their congregations In matters of pol
ttics. Their business as pastors is to
teach the gospel of Jesus Christ"
