OF course the indianapolis park
system must be extended in time

percentage of it's area set aside for
park purposes than the average

Right now there are enough

ly be left for future administra-
lions without endangering the
average citizens life, liberty or

Foot Power
By Hal Cochran

It's nice to go riding in automo-
biles. It's lovely to journey on four
rubber wheels. No matter what type
Of an auto man owns, he just likes
to ride cause it's ,restin his bones.
The whistle of trains sends a man
on a RICE to hop right aboard and
go speeding through space. There's
always a lure you're unable to kill.
You know as you ride, that you
move, though you're still.
Why Is it we all, when we're 60
ing to lunch, will often encourage
that lazy-like bunch to hand out our
fare SOS to ride on a car, when,
frankly, we know just how foolish
we are?
1t seems we've FORGOTTEN our legs
and our feet. eyre robbed of
their chance when we purchase e
seat. Where, formerly, all sort of
hiking was tried, today it's too easy
for people to ride.
we talk about health, but we
don't do our bit. The. exercise
thought makes us all throw a fit.
Let's stick to the health gag, but
cut out TIE talk. The best aid to
health is % get out and walk.

A STIFF
SEN TENCE

UDGE ROBERT G. BAIT
ZELL. in Federal Court
GJ Monday. sentenced Morton
S. Hawkins, head of the Hawkins
Mortgage Company swindle, to
fifteen years imprisonment and
fined him $4,000. It was one Of
the stiffest sentences ever inn
posed in the Federal Court at In
dianapolis.
And all Hawkins did was to engi-
neer a blue-sky scheme that took
some millions of dollars away from
elderly widows and other unim-
portant persons. Yet he was
punished just like a common
felon who had stolen an automobile
or a loaf of bread.
Perhaps the judge was harsh.
But apparently he looks upon slick
swindlers with unfriendly eye.
A short time ago he sentenced
the young promoter of a work at
HOule lId uu--WilO NlCltullEtu HOGS6-
wives, cripples and shut-ins-to ten
years in the penitentiary and
fine of $4,000. The fraud netted it's
operator $4,000. -
No matter how stiff the SEN
fences of such swindlers they fall
short of pure justice and can not
be made commensurate with the
crime. The swindlers' victims are
still losers.
When a bandit robs bank there
is no serious loss to anybody. An
insurance company is gouged. Per
haps even the victim of murder
is not a real loser by the crime.
His advent to the realm of bliss
he ultimately hoped to attain is
merely fastened.
But one whose savings are swept
away by the fraudulent scheme of
some shrewd rogue is permanently
injured. The loss-is irreparable-

7HE Marion County board OF
education recently upheld
- corporal punishment as a
means of disciplining school
children. It believes that .appro-
pirate use of such corrective meas
ures should be left to the discre-
tion of teachers.
The board takes a cafe and sane
view Of corporal punishment.
Some squeamish souls hold that
lickings are relics of harbarism.
that refractory human twigs
should be, bent in the proper di-
rection by love. caresses, frozen
suckers. and bribery.
No doubt the old maxim spare
the rod and spoil the child has
been overworked In the old days
1t was the excuse for a lot of sheer
brutality to Youngsters in and out
of school In many schools the
hickory switch was the whole
curriculum. Education was a sys-
tenn of painful welts.
II is doubtful if youngster is
permanently improved by being
knocked lopsided for every pecca-
dillo.
But the primary purpose of
child training is development Of
character. The child must learn
discipline as that is an essential Of
character. One Of the surest
methods 10 instil a wholesome re-
spect for discipline is to punish
for trangressionS.
one wouldn't attempt the train
ing Of a bird dog or a lion without
whip to enforce authority and in
still fear of punishment
Usually now teachers don't
whip for exercise-but for cause.

they have enough judgment to

sionally they have to do il from

STREET CARS
AND BUSES

mi HE Indianapolis Street Rail
way Company has protest
IL ed to the public service
commission that it plans estab.
lishment of such transportation
service itself, in conjunction with
its Broad Ripple line.
The need of better transporta-
ton facilities to Ravenswood has
been obvious for some time. Resi-
dents have appealed for bus serv-
ice. But the street car company
made no move to provide service
until an Independent bus line
threatened TO enter the field.
For two months the street rail
way company has been fighting
before the commission against
granting certificates to the Peo-
pies Motor Coach Company. 1t
seeks authority to operate bus
lines on all the routes now served
by the Peoples Motor Coach Com
pany.
Last wint@ feeder bus lines
were established by the traction
system on Capitol and Central
AYES, covering sections long in
need of better transportation
These buses were not put in serv-
ice until Independent bus lines
were proposed for the territory.
The street railway company
claims it is able and anxious to
furnish adequate transportation
to every section Of the city, by
trolley or bus.
Perhaps it is. But it is remark
able that it never discovers the
need of additional facilities until
some independent bus line appears
on the horizon. Apparently the
street railway company is less
concerned with providing bus serv-
ice than in throttling bus compe-
tition.

@H, FOR a good old-fashioned
Il } hero! ], know that we grin
nowadays at those honorable,
self-sacrificing, long suffering men
who pranced through the books of
yesteryear-the Northwest Mounted
Police type. who would be boiled in
oil before they would sully a wom-

I have just finished reading three

Want to Write
These modern heroes don't give a
darn about their country. or their
friends or their families. They
usually have but one aim in life
to write a book. Perhaps this is
because TO the dullOIS u lItli bt-

In order to write a book 1t seems
necessary that he should express
himself without restraint, that he
should taste life with a capital l.,
and experience all those emotions to
which men in books are subject
Well, nobody would object to that.
