changed and the volume of business
considerably reduced. There were
very few features among Individual

distinguished themselves for while

some of the ground gained.

fixed at an extraordinarily low level
when Lee Heights was placed on
the market and before the installa-

The low prices for land with fine

Theater as the star Of very

Evelyn comes George Leon, a

Evelyn sings, dances and other

he put it across In his usual witty
style.
THE Gang are a collection Of
clever performers in their differ

an enjoyable ono from the curtain.
There is some very good singing
by several female principals.
Nifty daNcing Of the Jazz variety
and one or two comedy situations

scene effects are pretty, the
music is tuneful and catching. A
good singing and dancing chorus
help out in the big numbers and
contribute a generous share to
the good things OF the show.

pupil cost of the schools will only
be about $140.
Apparently he public schools of
the city are not conducted with
unnecessary extravaganza.
Throughout the State the aver
age cost per pupil of maintaining
city school systems is less than
the average cost per pupil in the
rural schools.
Perhaps the rural children get
more and better education for
the money expended on them
than their city contemporaries
However that is open to question.
A lot of the alleged superiority Of
the little red schoolhouse and its
hneal descendant over the more
elaborate city school plants is
mostly sentiment mellowed by
years. Basketball and football
scores reveal no such superiority.
Probably now country and city
children enjoy about the same
educational advantages. yet each
city child has less spent on his
education. There is something for
the indianapolis citizen to re-
member when he SHES and tears
off across lots at sight Of high and
higher school levies.

Careless
BY Hall Cochran

Whatever you're doing; whate'er
you're about, you'll find that it pays
you to always look out. To stuff
through the things that you tackle
each day is wrong, though of course,
it's the easiest way.
The little word, careless, means
more than you think. To hardfelt
disaster it's often the link. You
pay pretty dearly to things that are
wrong. And things go that way
when you blunder along.
There ne'er was a man who could
really find fun in calling tasks fin
ished when only half done. And
cen though your carelessness rides
without blame, the fact that you
sluff's on your mind, just the same
You may get away with it day
after day. but add it all up and you'll
find it won't pay. A check on your
self, by yourself, should be KEEP
Shun carelessness alwaysl Keep

Raising Babies BY
Book

c OLOMON was failure as parent He
IL spanked his kids and laid down the rule
for future fathers: "Spare the rod and spoil
the child"
But Mrs. Sidonie Mastner Gutenberg, of
the Child Study Association, says spanking a
child is g confessing your failure as parent -
Mrs. Gutenberg makes allowance for Sol
ONION, however. He had SO many wives and so
many kids around the place that it "would be
too much to expect such father to use persua-
sion instead of the rod Solomon, Mrs. Cru
enberg thinks, didn't know the names of half
his children and possibly didn't know which
were his and which were the neighbors.
If Solomon, Jr., broke some of the royal
dishes, he shouldn't have been spanked Mrs
Gutenberg argues. He should have been sup
piled with something he could break.
Doubtless Mrs. Gutenberg and the other
modern parents are right. But there are mighty
darn few of the present generation who
haven't been turned upside down and soundly
warmed-and it didn't seem to hurt them very
much. At least it didn't hurt them so much
that it has become necessary to carry on a ma
tional propaganda and have national confer
ence to end speaking.

BIOLOGISTS look forward to
Xxi a process developed at the
University of Leyden, Hol-
land, to throw much light upon our
knowledge Of the growth of living
creatures.
For the first time in history, the
development of an embryo Of a
warm blooded animal can be watched
and studied continuously.
DIR. J. P. NJ. Vogellar and DR.. J.
B. Van den Boogert of the Univer-
sity of Leyden have worked out a
method by which the shell can be
removed from the egg of chicken
and the egg kept developing in an
incubator.
Up until the present, biologists
have been forced to place a large
number of eggs in an incubator and
then open them one at time at
intervals.
While this enabled the biologist to
obtain embryos at all stages of de-
velopment, it made it impossible to
compare different stages in the same
embryo.
This new method makes such a
comparison possible.
N RI ETHODS for detecting school
IM children who are emotionally
0 unstable and for giving
special training to such children, are
among the greatest needs of our

SeIfishness

fit is heartening to observe that the Amer
| l lean Federation of Labor is keeping the
eradication of child labor at the top of the list
of things it is seeking to accomplish.
Organized labor has a selfish reason for
fighting the system that exploits children
but it is enlightened selfshness Organized
labor naturally does not desire to compete with
the children of the poor. 1t knows the effect
of such competition on wages. But it is only
asking, on its own behalf, for the privileges of
doing this work for the children, the privilege
of supporting it's own children, of saving for
them the playtime of life and of giving them an
education that will help them to make the most
of their adult years. That may be selishness
but it is the kind that is needed in this peculi.
arly mercenary moment in our national history.

KINDLlNG
KITCHEN FIRES

NDRS. OTTO MART1N OIL Bed
IWI ford, Ind, and her 4.year-
@ old son We're burned to
death Monday morning, when she
tried to kindle the kitchen fire
with kerosene. The oil can ex-
ploded. Her husband is in the
hospital in a critical condition and
the house went up in smoke.
A couple of days before a Gary
woman attempted to coax a recall
citrant blaze in her cook.stove
with gasoline. She succeeded, only
she was propelled hence completely
and suddenly leaving a husband
and five small children to mourn.
The domestic oil can cut a
couple Of more notches in its
handle and awaite another fool
hardy victim.
Kindling fires in obdurate cook
stoves while time flies and matu-
final hunger gnaws in the bosom
OF the family is a nerve-racking
task. Sodden wood and cracking
temper do not form sufficiently
combustible combination to fry
bacon. Something is needed to
expedite matters.
So the ready oil can becomes
the handmade of harassed house
wives. And domestic explosions
and cremations multiply. Familiar
ity with the battered can leads tho
users to take unwarranted liberties
with it.
Kerosene and all petroleum
products are not only combustible
but as explosive as dynamite, ard
more unreliable. They may
placidly start a cheerful blaze or
If used incautiously may erupt
like an untamed volcano and blow
a neighborhood to splinters.
Yet morning after morning they
are used in many households to
start fires. AS long as the oil
can is thus used there is the ever
present possibility that some morn
ing the kitchen fire will be kindled
with the whole family tree.
