BABY'S IMPROVED
BATTING AVERAGE

AJL l.. KIRBY, director of
II the child hygiene division
IL of the city board Of health.
stated Saturday that in Indianapo-
lis baby's batting average i'm the
game of life is now 1924. instead
Of .9l6, the average for the past
six years.
That means the mortality rate
of infants less than one year old
has declined from eighty-four per
thousand during the six-year pc
Rod to seventy-six.
Increasing attention to child
hygiene by public and private
agencies-with free clinics and
similar aids-is producing results.
Because OF them. indianapolis
babies have better chance to
live than ever before.
1t took a long time for the idea
that raising babies is a science to
make Roadway. Mothers felt they
knew all there was to know about
raising their offspring. They had
Deen babies once themselves and
had survived-therefore they had
practical experience in the art.
Consequently many babies were
raised on bacon rinds, soothing
syrup and striped stick candy.
Doctors and nurses were seldom
summoned unless the infant had
commissions. AS a result until re-
cent years the death rate was
high.
But it is not only a private
tragedy but public loss when a
baby needlessly dies because of ig.
norance and lack of proper atten.
ton. So now public health agen-
cies are devoting themselves to
reduction of infant mortality.
Probably indianapolis can be
prouder over the declining infant
death rate than over some more
boasted civic accomplishments
It's most invaluable resource is in
the cradle. There is the future of
the race and the hope of civiliza-
ton.

The Game Ends

FRI HE city primary campaign comes to an
II end today Tomorrow part of the
voters will go to the polls and express their
choices. Two men will be nominated. One Of
the nominees will be elected next fall
And after the election the city will go
along pretty much as it does now, and no one,
except few hundred or few thousand poll
ticians will be affected.
To the vast majority of the voters of Indi-
annapolis the outcome will make absolutely no
difference.
81 In the city hall we shall have the same or
new political ring. All political rings are pretty
much alike. The affairs Of the city will be con-
Quoted for the benefit of the few. The majority
will walk up to the treasurer office every six
months and pay their taxes; they will expect
police protection, but they will not expect very
much in case of fire they will expect the fire
department to show up; motorists will continue
s. to bump along through the chuck holes In
other words, nothing much will be changed.
Politics as it is played in Indianapolis is
simply game. 1t is contest, just as a horse
race or a baseball game is a contest. Each con-
stestant has his hackers and many of these
hackers shout themselves blue in the face-but
the majority goes on about its business of earn
: ing living and pursuing happiness-just as it
/ always has done
The chief difference is that in the game of
spolitics the stakes are higher and everyone con-
tributes. But contrbl ting has become an old
pastime and we are hardened to it.
In the campaign just closing we have seen
a half-hearted contest between two Democrats,
Walter Myers and Adolph Emhardt. 1t makes
little difference who is nominated. Democratic
4 success, in the minds Of nearly everyone but
the Democratic politicians is too remote a
possibility even to excite comment.
In the Republican game, we have seen a
livelier contest. 1t has been four-cornered
affair with most of the attention centered on
John Duvall and Ralph Lemcke, but with Del
bert Wilmeth and William Frye also-kicking up
\ the dust The principal feature of this contest
has been singing of the muddiest kind of mud.
Z We have seen otherwise level-headed men stand
on platforms and hurl epithets-some of them
almost unprintable-at their opponents
Il One of the principal differences between
(, the game of politics and other games is that the
4 element of craftsmanship rarely enters the po-
itical game.
But after the contest is over the opponents
who called one another names will meet and
shake hands and join together to reap the harv-
est of party success.
q All of these things have happened many
* times before. It's old stuff. Wonder how long
the Indians will stay in the first division.

where the motor bus business is

capital. Small individual lines are
soon consolidated into larger

In the beginning the taxicab

But they were soon superseded
by corporations operating ibig

Perhaps the tendency will now
be toward consolidation-with a
fight for control between existing
transportation agencies and large,
independent corporations.

GERMAN WAR
TROPHIES

HuI LILLIAN A. KERSHNER,
Wl adjutant general, has re-
I ceived notice from Wash
ington that German war trophies
cannon, guns and other military
equipment-will soon be sent to
Hoosier towns which have applied
for them. Indianapolis is not on
the list.
Indiana is not the only State
that has made application for most
of it's allotment of war material
captured from the enemy.
To the Romans a war was not
a success unless the victorious
army and general trundled
through the capital in triumph
with it's spoils of battle-the cap
tured standards, arms and legs of
the vanquished. The trophies
were displayed with pomp. cere-
mony and public rejoicing.
So among other nations that
esteem war as a glorious occupa-
ton. disposal of the trophies won
is important.
Evidently the American people
are not truly militaristic. 1t is
enough for the ordinary citizen

wars with his own arms and legs.
without mementos wrenched from
the PROSTATE enemy. Consequent
ly the Government has difficulty
in disposing of German war ma
terial even when it offers to pay
the freight.
OF course a captured cannon is
nothing but II chunk of steel of
no particular economic value to a
community.
Still it makes a very suitable
ornament for a courthouse square
Perhaps it is no more permanent
and immovable than the home
grown loafers with which most
public squares are adorned-but it
is fully as artistic.
In future years such a trophy
will be mute reminder of brave
daye. 1t is surprising that the
available supply was not snapped
up long ago.

SUGGESTING DOG BISCUITS
FOR ANOTHER TYRANT TYPE

Biting mothers should be fed dog
biscuits.
One of these biting mothers is
found in The Price of Pleasure. 3"
And she was served dog biscuits
either. She was allowed to live on
and on.
These unnatural mothers are not
convincing upon the screen. They
have chance to get by better upon
the stage but on the screen they
show up even more cruel than they
could actually appear.
Virginia Valli in this picture is
cast as a shop girl, who marries a
rich man. The wedding takes
place when the mother and sister of
the groom are out of town. Gee.

becomes below zero.

gets off to q fun start and Dix car

Doug Fairbanks did in some of his

And Dix is growing in leadership

because he puts a laugh and pep
into his work. We are past the day
when we howl at mud pies striking
the face of a sad creature. But we
do laugh when Dix puts comedy into
a fight.
