the support of the Indianapolis press Most of the
time he has been openly attacked Such attacks have
been made almost since his term OF Office began, and
have grown in fury as time progressed They reached
fever heat about the time of the investigation by the
grand jury and the subsequent indictments of the
mayor and some of his administration. The mayor
has bitterly resented these attacks AS Is common in

defends his record and since he has found it difficult

guiding hand behind the paper.

Rescue Flood Fish

The receding waters of the Mis-
sissippi have left jnnumerable ponds
and lakes which now swarm with
fish, but which eventually will dry
up.
This seems a small matter COM
pared to the wrecked homes and
ruined farms in the wake of the
flood, but it is more important than
one might think.
Thousands of people make their
living by fishing in the Mississippi.
The fish which were carried in
land on the bosom of the recent
flood, and which now are threatened
with destruction represent one Of
the rivers assets, and the Govern
ment is right in taking measures to
rescue and restore them.

A man and his wife engaged room in hotel. Be-

things stolen, 1t not established that there
was sign in the room advising guests to deposit

brought against the hotel proprietor to recover the
amount ofthe stolen property on the ground that he
was negligent in not providing safe lock for the
door. He contended that the guests were guilty OF
contrbutory negligence and should not be allowed to
recover because they had careessy left the vauabes
lying around the room instead of hiding them under
their pillows or in some secret place.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of the
State of Washington decided that the proprietor was

Where They Cannot Hide

Federal court has ruled that Albert B. Fall and
the Dohenys not hide behind the tomb of Warren
G. Harding They must stand trial on the charge OF
bribery-Fall, charged with receiving bride; the
Dohenys charged with giving its~
The ruling of the court will appeal to the COM
sense of the American people.
Fall and the Dohenys are under indictment in con-
nection with the leasing C.: the Elk Hills naval oil re-
serve 1t is charged that Fall received 100000
from the Dohenys in return for this very valuable
lease.
Here is how attorneys for Fall and the Dohenys
sought to have the indictments quashed:
Fall, they said granted the lease after President
Harding had issued an executive order giving him. as
Secretary of the Interior authority the naval oil
lands This authority heretofore had rested with
the Secretary of the Navy.
But, said the attorneys, President Harding had
no legal right to transfer this authority to Secretary
Fall and Secretary FALL therefore, had no right to
grant the lease. This being SO, they argued Gin eff
fect) Fall couldn't be charged with receiving bride
and the Dohenys couldn't be charged with giving him
one. He couldn't be bribed under this theory, unless
he did, in return for the brbe something he had a
right to do.
Interesting theory isn't it?
Nothing in it, said the court. And that's that.
1t happens to be the fact that President Hardings

course is not pertinent to the present case. You
can't send man to Jail for ingratitude or for dis
loyalty to the memory of dead benefactor.

A Prospect st. resident today re-
quested Mr.. Fixit to do something
to eliminate the use of air whistles
by Indianapolis g. Cincinnati Trac-
ton Company cars within the city
limits.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: I would like to
have the Cincinnati cars discontinue
use of air whistles in the city lin
its. It is annoying and I believe
they could use bells just as we'll.
They usually start blowing at
keystone Ave, and continue until

your complaint. Miss Readon said
it is necessary to blow the whis-
tie at the elevation, but if motor
men are using their whistle un-
necessarily she will order them to
stop.

All Want to Ely

The hold which aviation has taken
on this country since the trans
oceanic flights began is illustrated
by the fact that the commerce de-
partment literally has been swamped
with applications for licenses.
More than 1000 of such applica-
tons have been filed by pilots and
nearly 1000 by mechanics.
The point is, of course, that we
have been emancipated from the
idea that aviation was peculiarly a
government enterprise.
Lindbergh proved that a trans
Atlantic flight could be staged with
out Government support and that
was what really captivated the pub
lie mind.
America suddenly has walked up
to the fact that John Smith or Bill
Jones can fly on his own account
and for his own pleasure.

LIBRARY
y washington is a city OF libraries.
Besides the huge Library Of Con-
gress, there are special libraries.
many of large size, devoted to vari-
GUS branches of knowledge. Books
on meteoroly and climatology, gath
cred from every part of the world.
are assembled in the library OF the
Weather Bureau, which contains
about $4,000 volumes. 1t is the
largest library of its kind in exist
ence.
A considerable part of this litera-
ture is not duplicated anywhere else
in the United States. For example,
the library has complete bound Mes
of the daily weather maps published
in all countries. Some Of these files
run back sixty or seventy years.
There is a vast collection Of works
containing the detailed records OF
weather and climate for all parts OF
the globe. Some Of these are the
publications of foreign meteorolog-
ical services and some come from
variety of other sources. A be-
wildering assortment of languages
is represented.
OF course the library includes all
the treatises on meteorology and its
various branches that have APP
peared anywhere in the world, so
far as the bureau has been able to
secure copies Of them. The Oldest
book in the collection is a black
letter edition of a Latin work on
meteorology by Albertus Magnus,
published in 1894.
About one-third of the collection
consists of the bound files of scien-
tific journals devoted to meteorology
and kindred subjects.

Fall and the Dohenys must stand
trial for bribery.
This is just another chapter in the
scanNialous oil case which has been
in court for three years, and the end
of which is not in sight.
The Government has recovered
the oil reserve which Fall leased to
Doheny and Sinclair, but has, con-
victed no one.
Worse than that, it has recovered
the Teapot Dome, only to find that
there is about 80 per cent less oil
than any one supposed.
Up to the present writing, all
parties connected with this case
seem to have lost, except the
lawyers.

Gains BY Research

Some years ago DR.. Harry Steen-
book of the agriculture department
of the University of Wisconsin dis
covered that foods could be treated
with violet rays in way that
made them helpful in preventing
ricketts,.
The Importance of this discovery
soon was revealed by the fact that
he was offered 100000 for the pat
emf rights.
Instead of selling the rights and
pocketing the money, as he might
have done, he turned them over to
the university This promises to
change the policy not only of the
University of Wisconsin, but OF
other universities with respect to
scientific discoveries.

Junk Old AirpIaneS

The two New York National
Guard aviators who lost their lives
on Wednesday were flying in plane
that was more than ten years old
and that was type which the Gov
eminent has decided to scrap.
Too many Army and Navy flierS
have lost their lives in the same
way.
The policy of keeping obsolete
airplanes has not only cost a lot of
lives, but it has helped to keep avia-
ton back.
The Government not only ought
to abandon the use of such planes,
but it ought to junk every one of
them.
The scheme of selling them to
civilians at secondhand prices is
about as bad as employing them for
military practice.
The only sensible thing to do is to
put them completely and irrevoca-
bly, out of every ones reach.

Inventors forgotten

Meanwhile, let us not forget that
it is the machine, not the f1ier, that
makes aviation possible.
There always have been men
brave enough to fly, but they lacked
the mechanism.
The inventors and engineers who
have worked hard and successfully
to perfect the airplane, and who
have grown too old in their work
to take actual part in its triumph,
are getting too small share of the
glory.
