BACK IN
THE MIRE

The new Shortridge High School
project is back in the mire. For
a moment is seemed the sugges-
ton that the new school he
planned TO accommodate 1900 pu-
pills and be located on the Thirty
Fourth st. site would prove an
acceptable compromise to CON
tending factions.
That seemed to satisfy the ma
jority faction OF the board. But
at the board meeting Tuesday
night the question whether the
new building should have a ca
pacity Of 1900 or $500 students
caused as much controversy as
the fight over location which the
compromise proposal was brought
forward to settle.
There may be an honest differ
ence OF opinion as to the advisa-
bility of erecting a building with
capacity of 1900 students. A larger
building may be moro suitable to
present needs.
Also there may be an honest
difference OF opinion as to the
merits Of the Thirty-Fourth st.
site. Some other site may be more
ideal.
But the most pressing question
Is not finding the ideal location
for the new school or the ques-
ton OF whether the new building
shall accommodate 1900 or $500
pupils. The most important thing
is providing a new high school.
While the controversy flares and
SINNERS, Shortridge pupils are be-
ing compelled to attend classes in
a building much more inadequate
than is proposed by either side of
the new Shortridge squabble, To-
Gated on the worst possible site.
A new high school of any size
located anywhere on the north
side would relieve the situation.
The school board and those ac-
lively engaged in the present CON
troversy all proclaim themselves
heartily in favor Of pushing the
new Shortridge to completion. But
the net result of all their efforts
to date is zero. The whole project
is an almost perfect example OF
perpetual motion. 1t Tevolves
round and round but doesn't get
anywhere.

THE TIME TO KICK

Next Tuesday is the time for all men and
women who do not relish the idea of government
being controlled by a few bosses to register their
protest.
The direct primary furnishes the weapon for
those who wish to defend their own interests.
1t is a weapon which is always used by the
selfish groups who know exactly what they want
The political machines which want jobs and pat
ronage and power will be certain to have every vote
they muster at the polls.
They will write their states OF candidates who
be relied upon to sacrifice principles or the
public good when the interests of the machine de-
mand.
They will have their lists of men on whom
they can rely to either soften the punishment for the
guilty or grant special favors to the Bosses
The booteggers will vote as unit as usual
for candidates for prosecutor sheriff who will be
blind and lenient and for legislators who will con-
tinue the extreme dry laws. They understand that
the more stringent the laws the greater their profit
The bosses will make their deals with those who
know what they want.
They rely the fact that the good intentioned
are divided or Indifferent.
They hope for small vote, because the larger
the vote the greater their own danger. They want
the men and women who stand for decency to stay
at home and let them do the voting and the fixing
That has happened so often that they have come
to rely upon it in their political plans Some of the
shrewdest make no public appeals They simply
make all the secret deals they think necessary
If you do not like the candidates of your own
party this fall, you will have only yourself to blame
if you neglect to so to the primary election and cast
your ballot.
You may wake up next Wednesday morning and
discover that the candidates both tickets are such
to invite only your contempt
They quite likely to be if you continue to
let the bosses and the ward heelers do your voting
for you.

NOT ENOUGH
SLEEP

Nearly 40 per cent OF school chill
dren are getting too little sleep,
DR.. Ada r Schveitzer. Of the
State board Of health told the
Parents Institute at Indiana Uni
versity extension headquarters
yesterday.
Why limit your statement to
school children, Doctor? They
aren't the only ones who do not
get enough sleep Most city
jewellers are in the same boat,
especially If they live in apart
ments on carlines. in radio infested
neighborhoods.

comes the milkman, the paper boy,
the early morning trucks and
another day.
The gent who invented sleep
was n public benefactor-but he
certainly wasn't a city man.
We are often told we sleep too
much. we are frequently urged
to emulate such geniuses as
Edison. Caesar and Napoleon, who
on three or four hours sleep a day
carved out notable careers. That's
a mistake, says DIR. Cabot, OF Bos-
ton. one of the country's author
tiles on social hygiene. The aver
age person requires eight hours
sleep.
Don't emulate Napoleon, Caesar
and other celebrities" he warns.
"Be sure you get the proper
amount of sleep. And don't get
out Of bed until you are fully
awake"
If one followed literally that
author1ty's prescription, he would
not get out OF bed at all. And If
one lives in the congested ssection
Of town there is not much use in
going to,bed. What to do.

If WAR, WHY NOT BOIL
WEEVTLS?

Now comes the simplest plan OF all for doing
away with war: Just prohibit it by constitutional
amendment.
Senator Lynn j. Frazier OF North Dakota is the
author of the project Here it is as introduced in
Congress:
War for any purpose shall be Illegal and
neither the United States any State terri
tory, association or person subject to It's iurisdc
ton shall prepare for, declare engage in or carry
on war or other armed conflict, expedition inva.
sion or undertaking within or without the United
states, nor shall any funds be raised, appropriated
or expended for such purpose"
1t is another prohibition amendment and every
body knows what a success that amendment is It
is estimated that today there are a bare 100000
stills operating in this country.
IL the Frazier amendment goes through how
ever new day will dawn plague-weary world
Having made national defense unconstitutional. we
can safely scrap our Army, Navy and air force and
rest easy. For what country, however powerful.
would dare be party to violation Of the Constitu
ton of the United States?
The amendment would naturally lead to world
wide disarmament For if we made it unconstitu-
tional to attack US, what good would armies and
nayies do other countries? None whatever Realiz-
ing their utter hepfulness against u.s. foreign coun
tries would automatically dsarm.
The only thing we would have to fear would be
oootlegged wars. There is the one faw. Pre-prohi
bition wars were bad enough but bootlegged war
would be simply awful
On the other hand if we can prevent war BY
constitutional amendment the secret of all things be-
comes an open book. We can amend the Constitu-
ton to abolish galoshes and stop the snow Abolish
traffic cops and stop speeding. Abolish fire depart
ments and stop fires. Abolish safes and stop bank
burglaries. To make husbands stay in at night abo
lSh rolling pins. Potato bugs cockroaches and boil
weev1ls would curl up and die with the fftyseventh
amendment abolishing insect powder and SQUIRT
guns. And ad infnitum.
There is simply no limit to the thing To pra
vent disease, abolish doctors. To do away with
death. make 1t unconstitutional to manufacture i'm
port, sell or transport collins
Write your own amendment and abolish your
own pet hate. Don't be bashful. Chip in and help
make our world Utopia. Your idea is as good as
any. We've been overlooking good thing too long
already.
