Statutes Passed by Indiana Legislators.

to compel you to pay for them, de.

little point overlooked by $50 eau,

The funniest OF them all, so the
lawyers say. is an act empowering
the State entomologist to close build

Indiana's lawmakers must have
their Jokes, and many bf Indiana's
laws have "jokers," but the real
Jokes come when some Of the I'M
Intentional legislative caprices find
their way into the statute books.
Here Are Some Examples
Everybody likes to fish and most
fishermen like to use cork, its
easier when you're tired. But you
can't do it. It's against the law
and the fine ranges from SIS to $50.
Can't "Riot or Quarrel
Nowadays, it's a common thing
on Sunday to see the creek and
river banks lined with nimrods.
That's against the law. Further
more, If you are more than IA years
old, it's against the Sunday law to
riot, quarrel. labor or engage in
the usual avocation." The fine
ranges from SIS to $50.
The fishing laws all are funny.
For instance, when you fish through
the ice, don't build house or pitch
tent over the hole. That weighty
question was decided in the negative
years ago, by the lawmakers. 1t
made things too comfortable.
Always get the landowners per-
mission before you post any notice
or handful on his premises. Other
wise, he can make you pay the
county clerk anywhere from IS to
$50 for the act.

Lost in the Woods.

Lost in the Woods" is news

Mass. says: "Kneeling in prayer, two
women and three children who had

huddled under a tree today. They
had been lost for twelve hours and
were four miles from where they had
entered the woods"

THINK 1T OVER
The Value of Word
By William Mnther Leuns,
President George Washington University

No matter how habitually thrifty
we may be. we are prodigal with
words. Only when we write tele-
gram or a want ad" do we con-
slider word saving. And we then dis
cover that we can express clearly in
10 words an idea which we usually
conceal in 80.
We are utilizing the greatest time
saving device in existence when we
school ourselves in the art of terse
expression. We are at the station
with only five minutes before the
train leaves. It is necessary to get
word to our Office about a matter i'm
portance.> Buzz, buzz, buzz, goes the
signal and buzz, buzz, buzz goes some
one in the Office occupying those five
minutes in transmitting what should
be a one-minute message.
1t is said that President Coolidge
has many words in his vocabulary
were followed, business would be
>speeded up tremendously and every
one would be happier.
How often in busy day would we
like to exclaim with the. distra cted
Hamlet, words. Words! Words"'
How many hours and how many dol.
lars of stenographers' pay do we
waste each week by writing worldly
letters.
There Is famous slogan to the
effect that 1t pays to advertise. Per-
haps part of the truth of this state
ment lies in the fact that when we
bury advertising space we are forced
to, conserve words. This causes us
to think carefully just what we wish
to say and how best to say it. Too
often our vocal apparatus begins
functioning shortly before our mental
apparatus gets into action

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

O. How many caddies are there in
the United States?-G. r.
A. There are about 100000 caddies
in this country
@. When will the Harding Memorial
be completed?-M. r.
A. 1t has not been started. SO 1t is
impossible to state when it will be fin
ished.
Q. DO many people cook on electric
stoveS?-A. r.
A. Electric ranges have been in
stalled in about 900 900 kitchens in the
United States.
@. Are New York automobile license
plates made in prison?-R. e. l..
A. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles of
the State of New York says that all
New York plates are made at Auburn
Prison.
Q. When was the game of cribbage
first played?-J. =. G..
A. Little is known concerning the
history of cribbage. 1t appears to he
of English origin and was formerly
known as ''noddy." 1t was mentioned
under that name in an epilogue by Sir
John Harrington in 1916. The earliest
description of the game is found in the
"Compleat CANISTER" 1914. The place
and time of the first game of cribbage
are not recorded.
@. Are horses losing their place in
this country?-J. H. B.
A. The American horse was for 200
years the sole means of inland travel
and the great essential to all business

of the country. Improved roads have
made him a driving horse and none of
the inventions of modern times, from
the introduction of railroads to biCy-
cles and horseless vehicles generally,
has affected his popularity or his val
ne. To the superficial observer 1t
would appear as if improved means of
vehicular transport would diminish
the breeding of horses as we'll as de-
crease their value, but thus far such
has not been the case. Good horses
have a higher value than ever, and
as the demand for cheap or poorly
bred horses diminishes, the better
bred ones survive.
@. What is the rank of a graduate
from tie Naval Academy"-A. NJ. s.
A. Upon graduating from the Naval
Academy the graduate holds the rank
of ensign.
@. Who was the first broadcaster?

A. Amateur experimentation by
Frank Conrad, now assistant chief en-
gineer of the Westinghouse Co., led
to the establishment of Station KDKA,
which was the first broadcasting sta
ton.

Virginia considered as slaves?-F.

Arthur E, Seymour.

In the death of Arthur E. Seymour,
secretary of the Chamber of Com.
merce, that organization lost q most
valuable official and Washington loses
an active citizen who has contributed
greatly to its development and ad-
vancement. Mr.. Seymour, a native of
New York, came to this city thirty
years ago and during all that time he
has been interested in local affairs.
Nine years ago he was elected secre-
tary of the Chamber Of Commerce.
He was chosen for his special apti-
tude for the administrative capacity
and his wide knowledge of District
conditions. He was an indefatigable
worker, diligent in attention to detail
and yet broad in view regarding the
fundamentals of the Capitals welfare.
He studied thoroughly every question
under consideration by the Chamber
and he co-operated in all works for
the attainment of the goal of a great
err Washington that inspires the peo-
pie of this community. 1t was charac-
teristic that he should literally die on
duty. Though not in the best Of
health for some time past, he did not
spare himself. but remained at his
post and was in attendance at a meet
ing when he was stricken fatally yes
terday. Mr.. Seymour's kindly nature,
his tact. his highly intelligent under
standing of all matters with which he
dealt and his faith in the development
of the community rendered him Of
passing is an occasion of deep regret
and sorrow.

Youth and Crime.

A young bandit yesterday morning
held up huckster in this city and
wounded him dangerously. Pursued
by the police, the youthful gunman
fired several shots and for a time
escaped, but was finally arrested. He
frankly admitted the shooting. say
Ing IF the poor simp had thrown up
his hands as others have done, I
wouldn't have shot him. He has
been identified as having been in
volved in a shooting affair here in
1924. for which he served a term at
Occoquan.
This case will bear watching. There
is no question, apparently, of the fact
that murderous attack was made
upon a peaceful citizen in an attempt
at robbery. There is no doubt either
that the assailant has been punished
already for a breach of the law. Now
will leniency- be shown to him on the
score of his comparative youth?
Drastic punishments are needed to
bring the lawbreakers to a realization
that crime is a dangerous practice or
pursuit. The other day in New York
four young bandits who attempted to
hold up a bank were upon conviction
given sentences ranging from seven
teen and one-half to thirty-five years,
with other penalties hanging over
them in case Of conviction on addi-
tional charges. These sentences were
given by the court in the hope that
they would serve as warnings to the
underworld that the law, as far as
he is concerned, is to be enforced to
the limit.
Much dangerous sentimentality is
manifested toward young malefactors
who are given short sentences and
early paroles and pardons on the
score of their youth. In this particu.
lar case the boy had had at least one
experience with the law, which does
not appear to have cured him Of his
criminal propensity. He showed no
contrition over the wounding Of his
victim, but put the blame upon the
unfortunate man for refusing to hold
up his hands upon command.
It is not in order, of course, to con-
vict an accused person before trial or
to prescribe the punishment, but the
circumstances in this case are surely
such as to suggest that If this young
gunman Is found guilty the court
should treat the case with the same
severity as that manifested in the re-
cent New York trials Of the bank
bandits. giving the maximum penalty
as a warning in the hope that may
deter precocious pistol wielders from
crime as a means Of livelihood.

The Twenty-Five Per Cent Limit.

In response to an appeal by the
National Capital Park and Planning
commission for more liberal inter-
probation Of the law which imposes
limitation upon the prices that may
lie paid for land purchases for public
purposes in the District, the Con-
troller General has ruled that the law
must be followed to the letter. Con-
~gAess has enacted this law in terms
that impose limit of twenty-five per
cent above the assessed valuation of
hny property that may be taken for
school or park purposes. The Con-
Stroller General has now decided that
81 applies to the expenditure of funds
remaining over from earlier appro-
priations. He has, as stated, just
Informed the planning commission
that no laxity can be permitted as
long as the letter of the law remains.
1t is, he says, for Congress alone to
grant relief.
This situation undoubtedly will call
3or reconsideration at the next ses-
sion. The imposition of the twenty
five per cent limit narrows the field
of possible sites for public purposes.
il adds to the ultimate cost of lands
acquired for such purposes. Already
it is indicated that it will entail a
serious delay in the execution of the
.f1veyear school building program.
Tn the selection of sites for parks
and schoolhouses the first considera-
tion is suitability of location. 1t is
not case Of ANY piece Of land" big
enough for the purpose, but Of the
right piece of land, situated with ref
erence to the public convenience. A
site. selecting commission should not
he limited in any manner. It should
have a free hand to find and take
The best available. There is no econ
pmy in poor selection Of sites for
such purposes.
Assessed valuations in Washington
ere high in comparison with other
cities. The law requires one hundred
per cent valuation for taxation pur-
HOSeS anu Tue lUCtt dSS0SSfIGIlS 6Q-
proXimate more closely to that re-
quirement than those elsewhere. The
stipulation Of twenty-five per cent
margin should not be regarded as an
imputation that the assessments are
only at seventy five per cent Of real
value. Nor will it result in an in
crease of the assessment.
The power of condemnation runs in
PHI site-acquisition work. 1t is posi-
hle to submit every piece of property
chosen for building or park needs to
the test Of expert valuation. Should
o. condemnation verdict be limited to
twenty-five per cent above the as
sessed valuation? Would the con.
lroller reject an award in condemna-
ton in excess of such figure? Those
questions remain to be tested.
