The Meriden Endees would bo able to last about 10 minutes with Dick" Dillon on the floor, Red" lingner would be able to do very little "babying' about the fouls call ed on him with Dillon at the wheel, This, of course, would be all right because Dillon is recognized as the best in the state.

What the Meriden fans didn't like about him last night was the fact that Hayes slapped technical fouls onto the players when they talked back 10 the referee after having touar called on them. It is evident that they can do just about as they please with their own referee.

DEFENSE OF
ROAD COM MISSION

r. ARL CRAWFORD, member
III Of the State highway COM
L. mission. in a speech at
Huntington, Ind, Thursday, meta
phorically pinned wings and haloes
on the commission. He declared
the acts Of the road body to be
above reproach and it's critics to
be actuated by base, sordid political
motives.
Much has been said about the
State highway department selling
$4,000. 900 worth of war surplus
equipment for a little more than
s500,0G0," he said. Nothing of this
kind over occurred. Any one MAX
ing such statements as these is
manufacturing lies out of whole
cloth"
Perhaps the highway commits
sion is pure as the driven snow,
the noblest and ablest board that
ever served the people OF a great
State. Any criticism OF it may be
wicl1ed--sacrilege trimmed with
lese majestic,
But for four years ugly rumors
have been afloat regarding the
manner in which the commission
disposed Of surplus war material
given it by tho Federal Govern
ment. The State board of accounts
investigated. Its report was sup
pressed. The rumors continued to
float. The State Legislature threat
ened an investigation and was
tearfully' persuaded to desist.
Then the Marion County grand
jury investigated. Indictments
against Commissioner Crawford
and Director William were re-
turned.
For a year those indictments
have slumbered, while charges OF
something rotten in highway af-
fairs have continued to circulate.
II the transactions OF the com
mission are pure and undefiled. the
body's best defense and vindication
would be speedy trial on those in
dictments before a jury, not
speeches before luncheon clubs up
and down the State.

thought disappears as Jesus links
this goodness with service and sacri.
flee.
1t is in love and in the willing
ness to give that the greatness of
Christ is revealed. Note how often
in this lesson he makes this refer
ence to laying down his life Note
also how Jesus emphasizes the mu-
tual aspect of this relationship be-
tween shepherd and sheep. II know

Other Sheep
What does Jesus mean by the
reference to other sheep which are
not Of this fold? We have inter
preted it to mean that there are
many who have the spirit of Jesus,
who would desire to know him and
follow him, who have never heard
of him and who have never had the
opportunity or who have never un-
derstood the meaning of his teach
ing and appeal.
These words have constituted
great missionary impulses in the
life Of the church. but the response
to these impulses have been entire
ly Inadequate. Suppose that we who
have known Jesus were to speak
and tell Of him more freely and
widely as the good shepherd, can
we not believe that many who are
now drifting about as sheep without
shepherd would welcome a place
in his fold?

A Wotnan'S Viewpoint

OF women who have thrown over
their own and selected the mans?
In every middle class and poo.
home there inevitably comes a time
when 1t is almost imperative that
the man OF the house lend hand
with the work, time when the wife
and mother is i'll and needs rest and
consideration il she is to 60 on
efficiently with her work in the
future. And it degrades no man to
give this assistance when it is
needed, while undoubtedly IL he
knows how to do it things will run
more smoothly and the task win not
be so hard for him.
Few women want their husbands
to do much housework. but a little
knowledge of this fine art would not
only contribute much to the
happiness OF the wife. but would
also help the husband to understand
that this business Of home.malxing
and raising children is no SLOUGH Of
a job.

A Sermon for Today
-eY Rev. John 3. Gunn.

ferred to by my fellow.minister quot.
ed above.
Edward w. Box said, in a maya
zine article some months ago, that
there is today "a tremendous spir-
itual longing among the people
that is very close to the surface and
needs only, the voice and the mo-
ment to break forth at clarion
call" This was the wind Wilson
heard blowing through the world.
This is the spiritual significance of
"the sound Of going in the tops
of the mulberry trees God is NOV
ing in the hearts Of men. In the
deeper heart Of mankind there is
today an undercurrent Of religious
feeling near to the point where it
is ready to break out.
Truly this Is favorable omen
from Heaven. The time is indeed
propitious for spiritual awakening.
1t behooves us. therefore, to bestir
ourselves. "Then shalt thou bestir
myself: for then shall the Lord go
out before thee" This was the
command and promise upon which
David was to act when he heard
the sound in the mulberry trees. 1t
is for us now, in view OF the mani
fest tokens Of divine moving in
mems hearts, to act upon this same
command and promise. Only let US
do this. and very soon the armies
of the Lord will be marching forth
to battle and victory in the might
est spiritual conquest Of all ages.

SMOKE A MATTER
OF EDUCATION

@ SBORN MONNETT. Of the
I'M United States Bureau of
~ Mines, an authority on
combustion problems, told the
newly organized Indianapolis
Smoke Abatement League recent
ly that elimination Of the smoke
nuisance Is no longer an engineer
ing problem. but only a matter OF
education Of the public.
Smoke from all soft coal plants
can be cut down. he asserted.
Even smoke from heating and
residence furnaces can be reduced
from so to 80 per cent without
any additional cost. People can
get rid OF smoke whenever they
decide to do it."
That's cheering news. For we
in indianapolis have come to re-
gard the smoke nuisance some
thing like the plaques of
locusts, flies and boils inflicted

unavoidable. IT is encouraging to
learn that 1t will yield to educa-
ton.
But for twenty years a success
sion OF city smoke inspectors have
sought to educate the nuisance.
They have written innumerable
notes to smdke ordinance
violators. They have expostulated
and threatened arrest.
The net result OF this long cam
paign is that the smoke nuisance
in Indianapolis is worse this
winter than ever. The atmosphere
of the city leaves a smudgy auto
graph on everything II touches.
And our sunshine, whenever IL
can bore through the swirling
SCOT, has a more pronounced
brunei tinge than usual.
Perhaps the nuisance can be
educated. But if the newly formed
Smoke Abatement League hopes
to achieve results this, side of
eternity it had better prepare to
educate the husky nuisance with
a club.

What Is Education?

r UST what is an education? The Univer-
IL sity Of North Carolina had made prepa-
rations to study conditions in the State S tex
tile industry. Various protests were raised and
the project was cancelled. member Of tex
tile manufacturers association protesting
against the proposed survey, gave voice to the
following:
1t may be the function of college to in
vestigate the social and economic evils of its
State and set the student upon the problem of
curing such evils; but we fail to see why it
should be considered college or university
function, and we know that such Investigations
breed radicals"
An educated man, we take it, is one who,
by study, observation or otherwise, has broad
ened his horizon, lifted himself above petty
prejudices and gained something of an under
standing of life and its values. If he is to be
considered educated at all, he must know some
thing of all aspects of the civilization in which
he lives; he must appreciate its merits and
realize its faults so that the merits may be per-
petuated and the faults corrected.
That being the case, why, in the name of
common-sense, is it not function of college
or university 'to investigate the social and
economic evils Of its State, and set the student
upon the problem of curing such evilsg"
The plain fact of the matter obviously is
that such course most emphatically is a col
lege's proper function
Very well, then; why does the textile gen.
tleman wall?
His concluding remark tells you. "Such
Investigations breed radicals. I"
And what of that? Many estimable Amer
leans have been labeled as radicals; among
them one Thomas jefferson, one Theodore
Roosevelt, one Woodrow Wilson names not I'M
known in our pantheon of the great Indeed,
it is just barely possible that truly educated
radical is of more value to his country than a
dyed-in-the-wool conservative who happens,
alas, to be blockhead.
Be that it may, however, there is this
much consolation for the textile gentleman;
there is one certain way to rid the country of
radicals. 1t happens that there is only one,
but it is sure.
Eliminate all injustice, all black poverty,
all soul-destroying toll and all of the suffering
that is not grounded in the very bases of life
land you will have no more radicals.
For the existence of the radical means that
there is something wrong somewhere. Often,
to be sure, there is something wrong with the
radical, as we'll lut the very fact tkat there are
radicals means that some part of our civiliza-
tion is out of gear.
This is not to say that the solution the rad
zeal offers is always right. 1t is often wrong.
But at least he has open eyes and wants to do
something to make the world better place to
live in-which is better than cruising through
life with closed mind, seeing and hearing
nothing that is disturbing.
It's the college S task to discover the evils
in present-day life and set It's students to the
problem Of curing them If this makes radicals
$50 be it.
