The Rules

1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and do
it in par, a given number of strokes.
Thus to change COW to HEN, in
three strokes, COW, HOW, HEW,
HEN.
2. You can change only one letter
at a time.
8. You must have a complete word
Of common usage for each jump.
Slang words and authorizations don't
count.
4. The order of letters can not be
changed.

CHALLENGE to Gossin

No matter how broadminded we
may become, blackmailers and scan
dial mongers will pursue their trade
in the same old way.
Where is the mother who thinks
she can place daughter under the
handicap of such deliberate and
widely published illegitimacy and
still protect her from their wiles?
If she has a right to select and dis
miss the father, has, not the father
a right to reveal himself at some
future time, and if he is man enough
not to do so, what assurance is there
that gossip will not do it for him?

Helping Addicts

Congress soon will have before it for considera-
ton bill to establish national hospital for the
cure Of drug addicts convicted in Federal courts
1t is bill that Congress might well study closely,
and one chat, we believe should pass
The drug addict is often criminal but he is
always greatly to be pitied. At present an addict
who runs afoul Of the Federal law has to go to a
regular Federal penitentiary, where there are not
suitable facilities for his care He is not cured of his
afliction; indeed he often spreads it to others.

and enlightened answer to very vexing problem

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION -
Cultured Rome City of Contrasts
Written for The Times 6y VIII Durant

merely a modern Rome, destined tC
be rich and powerful above all other
States at once, and yet coarse and
crude and half savage to the ends
producing comforts and luxuries
which even Nero never dreamed of
but no more able than he, or all
the Romans, to bring forth new
goodness, new beauty, and new
truth?
1t is not probable; our people
hunger for knowledge, and are
already disconnected with idle
wealth. But let us understand that
it is a possibility hanging over our
heads.
Greatness is never inevitable, and
it is a possibility hanging over our

Greatness is never inevitable, anc'
it is forced on no man; every inch
of it has to be won.

CICERO

A ND now we are in the law
L N courts and Cicero is speaking
At the end of the room sits a judge,
but no jury, he is a senator, or
otherwise a man of dignity and re-
pute, who has been chosen by the
Praetor to conduct the trial.
The hall is filled, for when Cicero
speaks, literature is created and his
tory is made. What eioquence
What passionate invective and fiery
denunciation! Who could survive
this molten torrent?
No wonder Catiline falls before 1t,
proved guilty of conspiracy by
Cicero alone when no other man
dareS assail him. There is some
courage after all in this proud and
lofty figure, this sensitive and wor-
ried face, this man so hesitant in
action and so swift in speech.
Here is oratory different from that
of Demosthenes; his was blunt and
powerful, and almost crude in its
ferocity; but this is as smooth as a
woman's flesh, as graceful as her
movements, and as feline as her
strategy.
The Latin tongue is made perfect
in this mans phrasing; it becomes
an instrument of delicacy and yet
Of strength; never again in its long

Your story Of recent date regard
Ing Henry Romine is at variance
with the facts.
1t so happens that I am well ac-
quatnted with all the parties con-
nected with this crime for which
Henry Romine is now serving a life
sentence, or, if + recall correctly.
it was a determinate sentence which
was thought would amount to the
same as a life sentence owing to
Romine's age.
This crime was committed in Jen-
nings County and instead of being
IN some kind of a saloon brawl,
Henry Romine, Rufus Clark. and
q believe), James Tyler drove out
from North Vernon some four or
i've miles on dark, rainy night
to the residence of two old bachelor
brothers and an invalid maiden sis
ter, called the brothers out and shot
and beat these old men to death.
expecting to rob the house, as the
brothers were supposed to have had
considerable money about the house.
1t developed later that Romine did
the shooting and Rufus Clark did
the beating with a policemanS
billie" as Clark was on the police
force of North Vernon at the time.
The man Tyler turned States evil
dence and got a sentence of, be-
lieve, two to fourteen years, the case
was taken 70 Columbus on a change
of venue. Rufus Clark received a
life sentence and is at this time in
Michigan City prison serving that
sentence, If I remember correctly
Romine received a twenty-year SEN
tence and it was thought that he
would not live to serve that time.
I very naturally suppose that
politics has nothing to do with this
case. But, Tyler was and is a
staunch Republican, Romine was a
saloon keeper in North Vernon, and
regular Republican "henchman,"
while Rufus Clark and all Of his
people were and are staunch Demo-
Gratis.
Will say further that these men
even cut the telephone wires to pre-
vent anyone calling for help, but it
SO happened that neighbor heard
the shooting and the old sister
screaming, and ran to their assist
ance and frightened the men away
and prevented the robbery.
The name Of the brothers who
were killed was McQuaid, and were
highly respected citizens.

both received life sentences.

you can take your choice Of prizes out

Miss Jane was young and very much
alive to her duty. The training school
teachers had made q point OF this morn
ing inspection, the principal had stressed
the cleanliness Of pupils, the inspection
each morning. The nurse had en-
phasized the necessity for immaculate
skin and hair and nails Miss Jane was
determined to see that her class was up
TO the standard, and even above 1t. II
stars would do IL, stars they should have.
Hands, feet, up tall" said she, and
so pairs Of hands were extended at
chest level, so pairs Of feet turned out
to the aisle. Up and down between the
rows the teacher went. scrutinizing the
little hands and the stubby little feet
thrust out for her inspection. So In
tent was she upon them that she did
not see the look OF pleading, or prayer
that came into some of the eyes that
gazed solemnly up at her.
Not so good. Nails aren't very
clean. A little more soap. Benny Brush
your hair q little more tomorrow
Becky. No, no. Max; those shoes
haven't been touched in week"
AS she neared Louis seat he
squirmed. He turned In the ends OF his

a smudge OF gray.
why, Louis, you never washed your
hands. Or your face. And look al
your shoesi ! can't have such a dirty
little boy in my class. Go stand over
there by the window on the bad line"
Now. Miss Jane did not know. She
did not mean TO be cruel No training
school leader, no text book. no expert
ence had ever taught her that Louis had
nobody to wash his hands or To see that
he did l.. She had never thought about
who prepared little boys for school OF
what happened when there was nobody
TO do IT, Louis was mess, ana shf
didn't want him spelling the appear

bad line. The cleanest children each
got golden stars, the next cleanest got
blue ones. Louis had 10 sit In the back
