Sketches

When the World War broke out,
Tony could not yet talk like an
American-but he could fight like
one, and did. When he came back,
he went to work again at his old
job in factory. He was industrious
and thrifty and his savings grew
steadily greater-for very special
reason: he intended to send for his
sweetheart in Italy as soon as he
could.
This great day came at last. All
the plans were made and the BRIDE
elect was due to arrive. Then
suddenly across the bright skies
came clouds apparently with silver
less Innings. From Ellis Island
came a message that Corda had
arrived and that she was to be de-
ported on the next boat because
there was already an excess quota.
Frantically Tony sought help
from the only source he knew-the
Red Cross. He made inquiries at
the home service department for
ex-service men. Could they help
him? They could.
A telegram sped to Ellis Island
stating that affidavits regarding
the adequacy Of Toneys resources,
together with his honorable dis
chage from the army were on the
way to the Department of Labor in
Washington, and that everything
was being done to bring the girl to
her Tony.
A months parole was the result
of this timely service, and Corda
came to Indianapolis. A few days
later a pretty wedding took place.
AS Mrs. Tony, Corda did not have
to return to Italy. Again the Red
Cross worker was able to help Tony.
She arranged to send his marriage
liscense to the proper authorities
and Tony and Corda are now
happily situated and are very CRATE
tul to the Red Cross, and in turn,
to YOUR. COMMUNITY FUND. =

iInCurabIe' in III-RepHe

DR.. Ernest P. Boas, director of
the Montfaero hospital of New
York, is right in denouncing the
word "incurable."
There are many diseases to
which this word may truthfully be
applied, but there are many doc
tors who fail to recognize them.
AS long as the medical profess
sion shows such a poor average
in diagnosing diseases, it has no
right to blast the hope of patients
and relatives.
There is scarcely a middle aged
man or woman in this country but
u1-o knows of cases that have re-
covered after some doctor has
pronounced them ''incurable."
Loose employment of this word
not only causes useless pain, but
frequently brings the medical pro-
fession into disrepute.

A Fine Example


The Real Estate Board has shown the way
1t proposes to send committee OF It's Leading
members to impress Mayor Duvall with the
necessity of his standing aside for the good OF
the city.
They have discovered that the mayor in
stead of recognizing the seriousness OF the SIT
uation intends to hang on as long as possible,
although he is under sentence to jail and a
jury has said that because Of his crime he
was never eligible to the office he has usurped.
These real estate men believe that the time
hes come for some respect for law and the
foundation of all government.
It seems absurd that any city should be
driven to such lengths as is Indianapolis IN
order to get rid of an administration that is
now judicially decreed never to have had any
right to take over the powers of office.
The real estate-men will march upon the
mayors office and try to see whether he, can
face them when away from his very bad adj
visers
~ His one hope seems to be that he can profit
by arousing waves of religious antagonists in
this city and still control a great city under
cloak of hate
- That will, of course, fail. The people of In
diana and Indianapolis will never again lend
their confidence to the leadership which be-
trayed them and the State.
Marching on the city hall is,a fine example.
Then the same delegations, formed into
battalions of determined citizenship, should
turn to the State House and tell the Governor
that indianapolis demands that the State,
through special session of the Legislature,
give back to this city the right of self-gov-
eminent which the Legislature took away
through bill which prevents immediate
effect of the city manager system.
The old right of petition is being restored
and men are being aroused to the Importance
of using it.
Petitions in person have been effective in
the past. The time seems to have arrived when
such petitions in person are needed here to
impress officials, indicted or convicted, with
sense of public duty.
The Governor can have no real reason for
refusing to call special session Of course,
the Black Boxes of Stephenson might reach
the light through public investigation and
such revelation might prove embarrassing,
not to the Governor, but to some Of his friends
and associates
There is every reason for special session.
There is none against it. The delay in the
city manager system in this city, which has
voted for it, is costing the people every month
more money than would the session. *
In money, special session would profit the
State as, whole many times every month
whatever the cost of the session might be.
Let it be hoped that other civic bodies, not
only in Indianapolis, but throughout the State,
will follow the fine example of the Real Estate
Board They believe that the way to get
thing is to ask for it.

Houses of Steel

If a Pullman car or an ocean
liner can be constructed of steel,
why not a house?
Steel cars and ships are water
proof, fireprQof and comparative
ly free from depreciation. Cost
ing more at the outset, they rep
resent saving in the end. Steel
houses offer the same advantages
Of economy and safety.
Robert Tappan apparently has
invented one.
Lumber houses not only rep
resent a fire hazard and other
risks that ought to be avoided,
but a destruction of forests that
ought to be stopped.
We can use iron for long time
without making dangerous in
roads on the supply. The supply
Of lumber, however, has reached
such a low point that further in
roads on it may cause serious
trouble at any moment.

Oregon Ends Revolt

Barring accident, the election in
Mexico has been decided and Gen.
Alvaro Obregon will be the next
president. That is the outstand-
ing result of the abortive revo-
luton just concluded.
Hours of fighting on a noun
tainside, a few follow-up skir-
mishes and few picturesque
careers brought to an end by a
firing squad served to remove all
the opposition.
The Mexican government will
go through the formality of bal
loting, but only to. confirm what
the folly of Seranno and his as
sociates have made inevitable.

Hoover Gains Strength

Whether they realize it or not,
western Republicans are pouring
water on Hoovers wheel. '
Senator Norris cannot be nom-j
mated, Senator Borah would prob
ably not accept the nomination if
he could get it and Ex-Governor
Lowden has shot his bolt.
When western Republicans come
out against all the eastern appli-
cantS, therefore, they virtually
eliminate everybody but Hoover.
Perhaps that is what they have
in mind.

filing PROTEST
Sends Appeal to League Of
Nations Today

Picking. China, July 10 LF-The
Picking government. following g
verbal protest by the foreign office
to the japanese legation on Monday
has sent a note to the league of ma
tions in which it demands the imme-
date withdrawal OF troops from
Tsinanfu and Tsingtao in the
province of Shantung.
The note also demands the recall
OF any further troops sent to those
cities and expresses the earnest hope
for a satisfactory early reply.
The Japanese government has
been sending troops to Tsinanfu and
Tsingtao in both of which cities the
Japanese have extensive interests.
Both cities, for some time. have
been the object Of a drive by the
nationalist who seek their capture
as part of the larger plan to take
Tientsin and Picking itself.
A Reuter- dispatch from Tsingtao
yesterday said that 1000 Japanese
troops had arrived here from Dairen
an that Liz oltuuliOll was duiCt'
The note. which was made public
this afternoon. expresses astonish-
ment that the protests of the Chinese
government regarding the dispatch
of Japanese troops to Tsingtao have
net received due attention" by the
Japanese government.
On the contrary. the note alleges.
the japanese took advantage of the
detection of some of the troops of
General Sun Chuan-F Fang. the north
ern commander in Shantung. to dis
patch Japanese troops to Tsinanfu
from Tsingtao and to replace them
with fresh troops from Dairen.
The note declares that the jap
anese government, which has con-
stantly professed friendship with
China, has thus ignored Chinas pro-
tests and has committed acts of vi
olation on Japan's treaty obligations
and Chinese sovereignty. The dis
patch of troops, the note says, has
created intense indignation through
out China.
