CHAPTER II

It was a pleasant Eouse, the old
brown Methodist parsonage at Red
Thrush, Iowa. While it was old in
point of years. it was not called the
old parsonage for its age, but because
q new one was in projection.
1t Is true that it boosted all modern
improvements. but they were i'm.
7rovements so obviously added to cater
to a progressive generation that they
fitted but inharmoniously into its gen.
eral contour. The bathroom had been
painstakingly installed In a corner
bedroom. Electricity had been wired
in, at as little expense as possible. A
furnace had been introduced into
cellar room, and at that time, to ia.
cilitate the piping, the partition be-
tween parlor and sitting room had
been removed to make one large liv.
ing room, in strict conformity with
the style.
1t was the living room which boosted
the second charm OF the old house,
in the form of a circular staircase ris,
ing grandly from the back of the
room. Perhaps, in the most technical
phraseology, II was not altogether
circular staircase, but it curved grace.
fully upward, and gave the same
effect. The girls loved it.
But where the Old parsonage was
merely of a drab pleasantness, the
new one was to be mouel of modern
architecture. 1t was to have electric
refrigeration-a parsonagel Only five
houses in Red Thrush had electric re.
frigeration-the new parsonage would
be the sixth.
In the true sense of the discipline"
the old parsonage was no parsonage at
all. 1t was merely house, owned by
a member, and rented to the church
for its pastoral use for ten dollars a
month. The Methodist church had
thrust its small spire above the sur
rounding naples wlen there were no
more than dozen houses in the
township, a sraunch little testimony
to the interchangeable determination of
early Methodism. The building Itself

Reveals Simple Method of "Invisible" Writing

An ex-convict who spent Is terms
in prison, recently visited the office of

letter purporting to reveal a Sc ret
method of invisible writing by means

who committed suicide. when, as stated
at the time, they were able to send
request to friends to forward them

Selection Expected to Be
Made Within Next Few
Days.

County commissioners are expect
ed to select the site for the new
Juvenile detention home within the
next few days.
Action by the board has been de-
layed due to the presentation of
twenty-one sites by Indianapolis
persons and real estate firms for
consideration. County officials orig
inaIly were given four to inspect,
but this number was increased to
twelve, to sixteen and now to tWen-
ty-one.
The most recent sites submitted
for commissioners approval are:
1109 North Delaware street, 604 East
New York street and 605-09 Locker
bic street, $4,000; southeast corner
New Jersey and North streets,
S87, 800; 224 East North street. and
southwest corner of st. Clair street
and Capitol avenue.
Before it became known that COM
miSsioners we're looking for site,
they had picked one at Walnut and
Alabama streets for $4,000 The
council passed an ordinance appro-
priating 100000 for purchase Of a
site to replace the one at 225 East
Michigan street, now leased by the
board.
County officials plan to erect a
two-story fireproof building in which
will be included the detention ward
and juvenile court room.
