Let There Be Light

rv=1ALF of the street lights aleng Indian
lf1i apolis main streets were turned off at
midnight last night. And the system will be
fol wed henceforth, perhaps, as a means of
keeping the city's street lighting bill within
the budget for the year.
According to the estimate of the city engi-
neering department, turning off all lights on
one side Of each street at midnight will save
the city $4,000 annually. Quite likely. Cut
ting off the other half would save twice that
sumf-and no street lights at all would effect
real portly saving.
But expense ism t the only factor to be con-
.sidered in street illumination after nightfall.
The chief function of street lights is utili-
tartan, not ornamental They are not merely
species Of community advertising comparable
to the electric signs used by business houses
They are provided for the comfort, safety and
protection Of citizens-especially the latter.
Burglars stick-ups and providers prefer to
operate in streets where darkness is thick
enough to cut rather than brilliantly lighted
sections To discourage such gentry, street
lights are as necessary after midnight as be-
fore They don't cease their activities at IL
o'clock sharp.
More light rather than less light is the
answer to much of the nocturnal lawlessness
that disturbs Indianapolis. If the city must
economic it might turn off half the police
force as well as half the street lights Then
each citizen could hurry home at twilight and
barricade himself in his own domicile, remain
ing there until dawn. And the city would save
a lot of money.

KeIIogg's Loud Silence
on Mexico

TT1ECRETARY Of State Kellogg seems to
. have adopted brand new policy with
regard to Mexico-a policy Of secrecy, silence
and shush.
About month ago he sent what purpert-
ed to be stiff note to Mexico warning her
so it is said-that if certain of her new alien
land and petroleum laws were not modified to
suit, relations might be broken off:
Just what the note actually said, how
ever, is still one of the mysteries. The Ameri-
can public has not been let in on the secret
Next, on JAN a. Mexico's Foreign Minis
ter Saenz gave out declaration Of principle
underlying the laws complained of, claiming
his country was not only clearly within her do
nestle rights, but that similar laws in the
United States, are even more drastic than ths
Mexican.
Step No. came on Jan. 19 when Foreign
Minister Saenz delivered to Ambassador Shelf
field, in Mexico City, formal note replying
to the American protest. This note reached
Washington, Jan, 90 And if press reports
were correct in characterizing Secretary Kel-
logg's note as strongly phrased," the Mexi-
comeback appears to have been none the
less SO.
But again it must be remarked that no.
body knows. Still it is quite apparent the
Mexican note was not to be sneezed at, for

U from the fever of fear that has put hun
dreds of political prisoners into her jaiIs in
the last few years, and has set her apart from
other States of the Union.
A California jury has acquitted Richard
Ford.
Ford is the man who was organizing hop
pickers on ranch twelve years ago when a
sheriff's posse broke up the meeting. In the
riot which followed two officers were shot and
killed. and although Ford had no weapons, he
and fellow organizer were convicted of the
murder and served eleven-year terms. AS he
emerged from prison, Ford was rearrested and
charged with the murder Of the man for whom
his companion had first been punished
1t took the jury seventy-seven hours to ac-
quit Ford Yet in the end old prejudices and
hatreds were cast aside, and verdict on the
evidence was given.

CONSTITUTION of


dor to Mexico, was called into consultation.
Hurrying to the capital, he took part, dis
patches tell us, in series of conferences with
President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg" rel
alive to the controversy.
On JAM 80, after ten days of hesitation,
Secretary Kellogg finally got reply off to
Mexico City. Like the rest, its contents are
still secret.
Secretary Kellogg began the present row
with Mexico last June when he took thesuni-
verse into his confidence, placing her on trial
before the world and telling her, in effect
that if she did not mend her ways we might
have to withdraw recognition and let possible
revolution take its course.
Why the secrecy now2 Mexico we are re-
liably informed, is not only willing, but is
actually doing all in her power short of COM
hitting diplomatic discourtesy, to have the
whole series of documents made public Is
America, with all her boasts Of democracy,
open diplomacy and what not, to be outdone
by backward Mexico9"
Strange indeed is this contrast between
Secretary Kellogg's reverberating thunder of
last June, which echoed from Point Barrow to
Cape Horn, and his present silence. True, he
came out second best in that exchange of bolts,
but that is no valid excuse for secrecy It
may, however, be an explanation.

RIGHT HERE

p nAvT npn Nrr COW
By GAYLORD NELSON :
LADIES WITH
THREE inch HEELS

F1PRING styles in ladies'
footwear, according to ex-
- hibits at the meeting Of the
Indiana Shoe Travellers
Association now in session in Indi-
annapolis, will include heels three
inches high--no larger than a dime
at the base-on ultra-smart walk
ing shoes.
The spike" heel they call II.
How the dears can walk in such
shoes without a preliminary course
in walking on stills is mystery
to mere man. But they'll do 1t,
you can bet, If fashion says so.
Certainly it will be interesting
to watch a stout lady with lumpy
ankles and so shod attempt the
Charleston. She will need a couple
Of crutches to maintain her equi-
librium and her feminine dignity.
But the new heels won't bring
any Joy to Mr.. Henpeck, who is ac-
customed to being walked upon by
his wife. The spike heel will per-
forate him like train conductors
punch does a ticket. He is in for
a bad season.
Why a 3-inch heel anyway? Old
Louie the Fourteenth used to
clurnp around on heels of that
height. But Louie was king
whom God made short and for the
sake of dignity he sought to add
TO his stature. Louie is now a
long time dead. Yet his heels go
marching, on.
Perhaps they are detrimental to
health, absurd and illogical. 1t
won't make any difference, If they
are stylish. Logic and feminine
styles were never on speaking
terms. They can't be expected to
get chummy now. Some women
Will wear the new spike" heels
If 1t kills them.
