ing which he was single. and one-half

liar exemptions. In case separate
returns are filed, the joint exemption
of $1,45S.33 for the period during

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January II:
Old ideals. old customs and old be-
liefs have tumbled before the Skep-
ticism and scoffing of the present age,
O. r. Keller of the Macmillan Publish
ing Co. asserted today before the third
Indiana conference on character
education.
Science has enabled us to conquer
nature, but by means of her lavish
hand has blinded our eyes to forces
more powerful than MATERIAL Mr..
Keller said I'VE are blinded and
choked in the dust of things. Rank
materialism is with us. And, strange
to say, that while the great scientists
were those who have gathered facts to
support a faith, we have been taught
TO collect facts in doubt
Open Minds Demanded
Our great universities and colleges
have demanded of us open minds
critical minds and unbelieving minds.
Agnosticism, honest agnosticism
walks the land, while the spiritual
emotions chill and atrophy.
Everywhere, Mr.. Keller declared.
educators. philosophers, parents and
legislators are scussing youth and
how to mold it to a routine that will
give it character.
Youth. wild and reckless. seems
ignorant or unmindful of the price
paid in human suffering and sacrifice
that made it possible to bring this
nation into existence" he continued.
Prudery Laughed to Scorn.
Facts of the physical life once held
secret and taboo now are in common
knowledge while this youth laughs to
scorn the prudery and superstitions
of it's elders. Youth assures us it can
live its own life. in it's own way and
that it is fully able TO take care of
itself"
The situation can only be relieved
by teachers with convictions, Mr.. |

THINKS Coolidge
OUT OF PRIMARIES
Jurist Says Statement Will
Eliminate President

Washington, Aug. 4 Pl-Whether
President Coolidge would be elimin-
ated from states having presiden-
tial primaries has added new de-
batable phase to the speculation of
political leaders and observers on
the situation created by his an
nouncement that he does not
choose" to run in 1928.
That the presidents statement
eliminates him from the primaries
was the viewpoint of a Washing
ton jurist, associate justice ]. A. Van
Orsdel, of the district of Columbia
court of appeals, expressed in an ad-
dress at Beatrice, Neb. Mr.. Coolidge
by his announcement, would pre-
lude him from filing acceptances of
nominations in such states, accord
ing TO the jurist.
Cursory Interpretation of this
angle. however, among congressional
leaders here found little concur
renee with Justice Orsdel's view, but
it was expected that politicians to-
day might devote some attention to
the question.
Opinion of the Interpretation of
the presidents pronouncement as to
his political future continued to re-
main divided. AS a result of the
varied views some leaders expressed
the possibility that Mr.. Coolidge
would make a more definite state
ment about his wishes, at least
privately. But others who have OBJ
served the presidents deliberations
were dubious that he will make an
amplification this time.
While the political situation con-
tinued in an uncertain state because
of the views that the presidents an
did not mean he would
not accept the nomination If draft
cd, some analysts Of political affairs
pointed out that supporters of other
possible candidates would deter the
of campaigns for their
favoritcs until assured Mr. Coolidge
had eliminated himself.
