The American University Union,
in the boulevard Saint German,
is swamped with demands for cata-
logs, syllabuses and other univer-
sity literature, as well as appeals
for help in finding rooms, engag-
ing tutors and the like.
The influence Of American auto
motive practice is becoming more
and more apparent in the French
industry. This is shown particu-
larly in the growing favor for six
cylinder machines. Twenty new six
cylinder models are on the market
this year. The French automobile
bilist demands above all economy,
high speed and as much comfort as
is compatible with those conditions.
Consequently all the new six
cylinder engines are small, varying
from 1900 cubic centimenters to
$500 in capacity, with engine
speeds up to $500 revolutions per
minute. These machines will carry
four passengers at speeds ranging
from SO to IS miles an hour and
cover from 20 to % miles to the
gallon of gasoline. Although the
largest Of them is smaller in en-
CINE capacity than the smallest
American automobile, yet they are
so we'll designed that they will &C.
complish almost as much.
A police officer at Versailles, on
his beat about midnight noted a
convict holding forth in the booth
near the main gate of the prison
generally occupied by the keeper
on duty. Sixty prisoners slept
soundly within.
"What are you doing there -
asked the policeman.
Looking after the Jail so NO
prisoners escape" replied the con-
vict, who proved to be a regular
serving five years.
"Where is Mallet, the regular
keeper?" queried the cop.
"Across the street." replied the
burglar, pointing to a cafe.

JUST FOR FUN9

In a number of precincts in this city, the ar
rangements most patiently had been made to change
the results of the primary by fraud.
The prosecutor has some evidence and Mr.
Remy can be counted upon to prosecute vigorously
and inteliigently.
There is evidence at hand that the number OF
votes counted bear very little relation to the actual
number Of votes cast IN 200 precincts.
There is evidence also that the old trick OF "re
peating' used literally
Does any one presume that those who took the
chances Of prison did this because Of their
interest in any candidatei
Is there any one guileess enough to credit any
explanation that these contemplated and actual
frauds had their inspiration In the minds Of the men,
easily cassed as undesirable citizens. who were to
commit them7
There was, Of course. deeper reason and a
much more respectable source of these activities.
No one who has watched elections has any other
idea than they carefully plotted and planned
in order to change results of the ballot II there was
either necessity or chance In this election there
was no necessity and no chance.
The integrity of our government depends upon
honesty In elections
Fraud at the ballot box is the highest form Of
treason and the violent form of revolution
1t strikes not at person, but at institutions the
big Institution of enlightenment
Before November there should be an organiza-
ton of men, preferably young men who risked their
lives for this country during the war pledged to
prevent frauds and to absolute honesty at the
polls
The Incidents OF this primary prove the neces-
sity Of such organization.
For no one believes that frauds and crookedness
are mere expressions of humor on the part Of minor
election workers.

life In prison the hardest sentence The severity
of the law has, apparently, no effect
When society took over the matter of punish.
ing who take the life of others, removing II
from the realm of private vengeance, its excuse
that its punishment would brighten and deter
others from committing the same sort OF crime.
It's purpose was not to reform the killer, but to
make human life safer through the power of exam
pie.
Had it merely desired to crush the particular
murderer 1t could have left the Job to mobs to in
dignant relatives to individuals who were impelled
by personal motives
The truth is that society has not punished those
who kill
The chance of any punishment is remote. Even
more probematical is the length of time which must
be spent in prison under life term.
The man who receives life sentence can be
reasonably sure of obtaining his freedom in about
ten years. That is above, not below the average
If every who takes life were confronted
with the certain confinement behind bars for the
rest of his life, without hope OF release the punish
ment would mean something
There would be fewer youths who brazenIv DUR
chase a mail order revolver and go on killing and
robbing expeditions if they knew that being caught
meant an end to all liberty as long as they lived.
Until we decide to make punishment certain
sure and definite we can expect nine thousand muir
ders year.
There is pity, of course, for those who have
made mistakes and repent
But there should be pity, too for the nine
thousand who will die this year at the hands of
killer.

LET'S HAVE A LAW
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson -

Peggy Joyce, ETC.. Is taking unto herself fifth
or is it a sixth?-husband. Peggy herself says she
can't quite be sure to the exact number and be-
sides what's husband or less to a person ac-
customed to large figures?
The most of have become so rnodernized that
little things like third fourth marriages. and d.
vorced husbands running all about, do not excite us
much, but isn't Peggy getting bit extreme? There
Will never be any satisfying her II a woman can't
settle down after she has had half a dozen men, the
chances are good that she will do So
And we must remember that Peggy is young vet
If she is not cut off in the flower ardent prime
she will have time to get in a lot more marrying
Congress ought to look into this matter. We have
a rule regarding third presidential terms Couldn't
we have about seventh husbands? It seems only
fair to the rest of that after Peggy has tried
out her sixth-lets finish the half dozen-some pro-
tective measure be passed.
Anyway, at that point 1t would be almost an in
suit to clergyman to ask him sanctify the union
and rare joke justice to be required to legalize
something so soon to be declared illegal.
These national publicity do a great deal to
put marriage into disrepute. How can we expect the
generation to anything but humor In mat
rimony If few permitted to carry on like Henry
the Eighth? Peggy and others with similar matri-
monal fever do not chop off heads, it is true but
they do lop millions off bank accounts,
If Peggy goes on for the next forty years like
she's started there won't be enough men in the coun-
try to round It's high time that she secured
her publicity in some other manner, than by marching
to the altar. Write your Congressman about IT,

A WORD FROM HELEN

Helen Maloney speaks her mind The Brook
Ign girl thinks the young ladies are not getting
square deal from the Government So she addresses
letter to President Calvin Coolidge that reads like
this:
81 represent girls with grievance. We are dis
satisfied with the way the Government treats girls
We think girls are just as important to this country
as boys and they should receive the same opportun
ties from the Government that boys do.
"But they don't get them the way things are
now The Governm ente takes and trains thousands
of boys every summer at citizens training camps
free Any boy can go there and learn to hike, camp
swim and shoot.
What does the Government do for girls?
Besides, these boys at college are kicking at
something they get for nothing, while girls in the
same universities go out and practice rife shooting
on their own time and expense without any encour-
agement or instruction from the Government what
ever.
still II seems girls not worth bothering
about After showing their desire to deMlop them
selves they find that only the wonderful young men
are given the chance to go to G. M. T. camps this
summer
lis that square, Mr. PRESIDENT"
1t was just like White House secretary, OPEN
ing the mall to observe that judging from court
ords, women already have shown remarkable pro-
nciency in shooting.

WHY THE HURRY9

Were there no other reason the haste ana
methods used by the five members OF the CITY
council In repeating the part Of the coming ORDINANCES
relating 10 the establishment of cemeteries would
arouse suspicion
Surely no member of that body who favors re-
mova Of all restrictions would dare to suggest tnat
any emergency is about to arise
None Of them would dare to suggest that they
believe the death rate in Indianapolis in the next rev
months will be so large that present cemeteries
will not furnish final resting place for the departed
The present ordinances forbid the establishment
- new cemeteries within specified distance of bou-
1avards That ordinance has the approval or the
mark hoard and commissions of citizens VINO nave
studied city planning.
II ia their opinion that cemeteries. because OF
their purpose, should be away from the BUSY tnor-
ouabfares in more silent surroundings in more
placid environments.
Nor are they unmndful that cemeteries defect
the growth of cities and are likely to prevent the
highest development Of desirable sections for resi-
dence purposes.
It is an open secret that the repeal of this
ordinance has but one purpose 1t is to permit one
projected cemetery to be financed and established
near the Kessler boulevard.
II is no less a secret that very many citizens In
terested In that part of the city and many others In
terested in the entire city believe that the selection
Of this site Is unwise and harmful
Knowing Of that protest the action of the five
councrmen in calling special meeting to let down
the bars has rather sinister aspect
Their own haste invites criticism and suspicion.
Their method of rushing through legislation to avoid
protest or the chance OF protest is more than de-
plorable.
Why the hurryf
That If not the reasons for their action needs
explanation.
