URGE PURCHASE
OF PARK LAND
Civic Club Delegates and
Schmidt Make Request.

North side civic club representa-
tives and Gustav c.. Schmidt, city
plan commission president, urged
the park board to purchase a 300
acre tract of land for a north side
park this afternoon at a public
hearing.
The body recommended the pur-
chase Of the property, to be de-
veloped into huge park project,
after DR.. H. II. Wheeler who owns
100 acres between White River and
the Canal and Boulevard Pl. and
Delaware st. petitioned the city to
plat the ground. DR., Wheeler
agreed to sell the property for APP
praised value, Schmidt said ES-
timated cost of the project is
100000.
Schmidt objected to plating the
property, declaring it would be built
up with small houses out of har-
mony with the surrounding fine
north side homes.
He pointed out that the city
should acquire the territory along
the rives as development of a resi-
dental district would entail heavy
expenditure by the city for a flood
prevention program and additional
sewage system.

Lie down, Simba!" A rumbling

Simba lies 6oWn-or always has

What the population of Vantage

Simba ever definitely decides not to
lie down. Particularly the postman.
who has to visit the house three
times a day.
Simba is a half-grown African
lion, with a fondness for buffeting
persons with its paws and taking
nips out of their legs. It's Just his
playfulnesS, his mistress. Mrs. S. w.
Silver, racehorse owner and big
game hunter, says.
Mrs. Silver has such great conf
dence in her pets tractability that
she not only let's it run around the
house, but even leaves it on the lawn
of her garden when she is out. She
chains it to little stake which she
drives into the lawn with a croquet
mallet. remarking, between strokes,
that Simba never can intimidate
her.
Semi-official representations have
been made to Mrs. Silver on behalf
of the villagers that Simba ought to
be either in a zoo or in some place
more nearly approximating his ma
tive haunts than an English village,
but Mrs. Silver SCOTS at them.

reporting that the missing French

THE mewing of Sherlock's vio-
H lin and his resolute football
no longer will be heard along
Baker ST.. where, since Sherlock
took up his famous lodgings, there
has been an invasion of giant motor
buses and jamming of traffic.
So crowded has the street become
that it no longer was suitable, any
way. to the contemplation and
modest delights of a man who
delved in the mysteries of crime.
Sherlock, fittingly, had two lives
and it was his second Sir Arthur
took from him today. The first
time Sherlock died with his boots
on.
He long had pitted his skill
against the criminal cunning of DR..
Moriarity, one of the basest of viii
lains. and finally the pair met In
combat on the edge of cliff,
Before the eyes Of Watson. of
course you remember Watson, the
pair fought and fell to their deaths.

-UT SHERLOCK'S friends had
III not had enough Of him. Sir
y Arthur was besought to res
urect his master character. And,
finally. Sherlock came back to life,
having escaped death on the cliff
in miraculous manner common to
Super-human sleuths.
He continued his career as the
terror of wrongdoers and the envy
Of the slow-witted gentlemen from
Scotland Yard.
Now Sherlock has died again,
rather, he has been murdered and
by the hand of his creator. Per-
haps his violent second demise was
a final gesture OF defiance to the
yard; let them solve it if they can.
But even in death. Sherlock will
not be idle. Resting comfortably
in his pages or thousands Of library
shelves, Sherlock will be with us
forever, peering through his glass,
rolling a bit of cigar in his palm,
or smiling O. long-suffering smile
as he arrives on the scene of a
crime to find that the stupid OATS
from the Yard have obliterated the
real clues in their clumsy search of
the premises.

vice PRESIDENT or the united states.
The idea that few men, through
personal pque can punish not simply the majority of
the Senate but the people Of the United States by de-
privng Government Of money to its machin-
cry unless special session is called, is monstrous.
The who prevent the Senate from con-
sderng and thereby defeat it u.s. of course
exercising greater power than when he votes
upon the passage of bi-a right given him by
the Constitution
Over all the deliberations of the Senate hangs as
a cloud the of the selfish Of this great
power. Time and time again its deliberations
interrupted by the threat of its Time and time
again do the representatives Of nonpartsan majority
unsuccessfuy plead with and beg individual Senators
block the proper transaction Of necessary bust
because of their dissatisfaction with other matters
often entirely personal and trivial.
At times the whole Senate waits while the leaders
of both majority and minority parties negotiate with
two recalctrant Senators for the right OF the
Senate itself to fix time for vote important leg
islation. Such situation would be absurd if it did
not matters of such public import to make
it tragic.
In my judgment public opinion realizes the alb.
surdity of the rules allowing unlimited debate and
curing a two-thirds vote to stop it, but in as
Stunning that the right of fbuster for the purpose of
obstructing general business is used simply to kill
bills obnoxious to the minority.
The public Indifferent for that rea-
for it realizes that suffer from many laws

vduals and minortes, to modify for personal po

kinds.
And people commonsense people. They
have not been impressed with the claim that prvi
lege to any individual Senator unlimited time
to talk at the expense Of the rights of others either
to talk or act is necessary safeguard of American
liberty.
There is one particular reform in the which
IS so vastly important to the public interest free
from general objection, that it should poss.
bic of accomplishment.
This change would take from individual and
minority Senators the sinister power of compelling or
threatening to compel extra sessions of Congress by
fbustering against and appropriation bills in
the short session of Congress. 1t would apply ma
orty cloture to and appropriation bills in the
short session.
If majority cloture We're applied to them in the
short session the general right of buster precious
to Senators, would not be lost. They would not be
stripped of the of minority obstruction save and
alone the power of threatening beat appropriation
bills in the short session and compelling the calling of
extra session.
