ObtOn1etTiStS
IndOrSe Neze,
Times Type

The new type face Of The Indian
apolis Times officially was endorsed
and praised by the Indianapolis
Optonetrical Society at its monthly
meeting Tuesday.
The optometrists are interested
in saving the human eye. They are
experts on the causes of eye strain
They are alert in matters that will
help everyone to retain vision and
escape the ordinary ills.
The Ionic type of The Times came
to the attention of the society as
a great contribution to its continual
battle against impaired use of the
eyes.
New Type Endorsed
The resolution which these scien-
fists adopted reads:
WHEREAS, The Indianapolis
Times has In the interest of its
readers seen fit to adopt a new and
distictively superior type, decidedly
favorable to the retention of good
and comfortable vision, we as a So
ciety are extremely appreciative of
this move and desire to endorse the
same by our hearty commentator
and a sincere vote of thanks.
We feel that the clear-cut defini-
ton of the individual letter adds
materially in the completed word to
admit of its being readily and COM
fortably read, which is certainly
step in the right direction.
AS a society and profession being
interested in the prevention of de-
fective vision and its i'll effects, we
realize the magnitude of your eff
forts. Readers for comparison need
only read for a short time matter
set up with new type and then
quickly to revert to similar reading

Seek Harmony

GENEVA, June 22.-Japan is un-
able to accept the 5-5-3 ratio of
naval strength except as applied to
capital ships, Admiral Saito, Japan,
told Hugh Gibson, head of the
American delegation, in a con-
ference they held today to begin
harmonizing their conflicting views
Japan must be strong in cruisers,
destroyers, and submarines, Saito
said. He intimated Japan would
consider making concessions in
other directions.
Leans to United States View
1t was understood Japan accepts
the American viewpoint in op-
position to Great Britain's argu-
ment that armed merchant ships are
not of great value as warships.
The executive committee of the
conference, composed of the heads
of the three delegations, will not
meet again until Friday, when it
will consider a report of the tech
nical commission.
The intimation of Admiral Jellicoe
of the British delegation that
Britain is more dependent for her
existence on protection of trade
routes than any other nation, with
Japan standing neXt-which seemed
to connote belief that Britain and
Japan required the greatest
strength in cruisers for guarding the
routes-will be opposed by the
American delegation. The Ameri-
cans will insist that protection of
trade routes is quite as important
TO America as to Britain.
Arnored Merchant Ships
The Americans also viii instist
That armed merchantmen are one
of the most vital factors in modern
warfare. The British delegates said
in statements to the press that mer-
chant ships equipped with six-inch
guns, as envisaged in the American
proposals, would have little value as
hghting craft.
The Americans contend that the
great number of naval bases owned
by Britain makes it possible for her
to patrol the seas with small cruis-
ers Of low steaning radius, whereas
the United States, with compara-
lively few bases, requires cruisers of
the 1O,000-ton class. That is the
basis of American opposition to the
British plan of specifying how many
cruisers of each tonnage each ma
ton may have.

Celina Reservoir Torrent
Sends River Raging Over
Rich Land.
JACKSON ASKED TO SUE

Possibility of another interstate
war between Ohio and Indiana,
rivalling the motor truck fight of
several months ago, developed to-
day, when Governor Jackson was
asked to sue Ohio for food damage
suffered by farmers near Geneva,
Ind.
w. D. Cross Jr., Geneva business
man, asked the Governor in the
letter to start the damage action on
behalf OF Indiana, to cover loss
suffered when 1000 acres of Hoosier
land were flooded about May Is.
He charges the flood OF the
Wabash River, near Geneva. was
caused by opening Of the flood gates
OF the Grand Reservoir, near Celina,
Ohio.
Farmers Lose Heavily
Farmers lost stock. suffered dam
age to barns and homes and were
delayed in planting crops in rich
bottom lands, because of the high
waters, according to dispatch from.
Geneva.
Jackson referred the matter to
Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom.
Gillion is out of the city, but is ex-
pected to take it up as soon as he
returns.
Jackson said he did not have
much hope of obtaining damages,
but steps should be taken to pre-
vent repetition OF the flood.
The grand reservoir is huge ba-
sin constructed in 1840 to supply
water for the projected Ft. Wayne
to Terre Haute canal and the Erie
canal.
Overflow Into Wabash

1sar the reservoir. Last month,
when the reservoir became so full,
due to incessant rains, that its walls
were endangered, the overflow was
directed into the Wabash.
AS a result, the farms in eastern
Indiana were flooded worse than
at any time since 1918, according
to Cross.
Part of the territory flooded is in
the Limberlost, made famous in
Gene Stratton Porter's novels.
