INsTALLMENT v.
Realizing that they must recover their WIND,
the two boys turned over on their backs ana
began to float treading water just enough to
keep their noses above the surface. Harry,
gazing upward, saw the moon about to emerge
from behind the clouds.
Good night" he groaned Now they can
see to shoot at us!'
But Ted turning over let his eyes sweep the
surface of the water. And then he uttered
joyful exclamation.
There's our boat! 1t just drifted little way
down the shore, dragging the anchor
Nor had they found the boat a moment too
soon, for from somewhere on the shore the
already showing off from land. Heartened by
the sighting of the Skiddoo, Harry and Ted
made for it at once as fast as they could swim.
It was a race between them and the boat COM
ing out from shore, and the boys won, but with
little to spare AS Ted clambered aboard,
second ahead of Harry, he saw that their pur-
suers were drawing perilously close, and several
more shots cut the darkness with flashes of fire.
weigh the anchor and get up sail" he cried
as he drew himself over the gunwale and
scrambled down into the cockpit. III try to
get this motor started"
For a horrible moment he was afraid that
the motor would fail them, but at last it gasped,
faltered and began to chug hopefully. With
an eXultant cry, Ted threw in the clutch and
felt the boat move beneath them. Meanwhile
Harry was putting up the sail as fast as he
could CO. eager to take advantage of any slight
breeze that might be blowing.
The rowboat of their pursuers was still hum
dred yards away as Ted, his hand on the tiller,
swung the Skiddoo about and headed it back
down the shore. He could not suppress taunt-
ing shout as they pulled away for safety, but
he quickly ducked into the cockpit as their
pursuers fired again.
And now for Lakeville and the police" cried
Harry. I'VE ought to be there in couple of
hours"
Aided by the slight breeze, and with the
motor chugging away at top speed, they moved
back toward the little town, and the evening
was still young when they finally tied up at
the dock there. Inquiring their way to the
police station, they rushed in upon startled
officer and poured out their story. From their
description Of the stream, the officer was able
to determine its location at once, and while he
was gathering a posse to descend at once on
the gangs hangout, Ted got in touch with
Thomas Harbor by long distance telephone.

his duty to enforce prohibition whereas his duty is
only to enforce the prohibition law Prohibition and
the prohibition law not the thing.
Suppose we get down to fundamentals. The pro-
hibton law in America results from the burning con-
vction Of part Of the populace that drinking is an
evil and that 1t should be made crime or INSIDE
meanor These people do not consider selling per Sc
an evil
They wouldn't make selling crime or INSIDE
meanor Selling why that's business; that's all there
is to business And as nation we certainly have
nothing but respect for business Selling things for
profit whether seds to little boys whatnot is the
basis Of our whole economic structure.
Yet our congress, pushed by those who believe rum
is demon, goes and passes law against selling Not
against drinking or buying drink which really is the
evil if there is an evil but against selling drink.
What could be more absurd?
We want to punish the drinker so he won't drink
any more we want to correct him for his own good,
but we don't do it, we punish the seller We don't do
that for the sellers own good Selling isn't bad for
him. 1t helps him to have an automobile his wife
to have nice clothes his children to have college edu
cations 1t helps him to meet our best people.
OF course, we may harm him through providing too
much prosperity, but that is contingency the law
cannot undertake to handle
Logcal9 Hardly.
What should we do then? Simple enough. Pass
law against drinking liquor. Pass law aimed at the
real offense Make us stop using the stuff whether
we buy it or manufacture it in kitchens. Go
right to the heart of the matter and quit running in
rings around it.
Do that and the courts won't have to stretch other
criminal statutes out of shape to cover the holes left
Intentionally in the prohibition law.

The War on Crime

The active and vigorous campaign against crime
and criminals now on in New York City means tnat
some of the criminal element will migrate to other
cities where the citizens not aroused and ponce
departments are going along as usual and making no
determined campaign
So what is New Yorks gain is compensated IN
the general field of crime by losses in other commune
ties.
That means that the war on organized crime must
be national in scope with no sanctuary elsewhere Tor
crooks who are flying from the wrath of one city.
The underworld expects periodical outbreaks Of
official wrath with vigorous drives by the police cut
every such drive is regarded temporary something
which will blow over in time. And even though
spasn of official virtue may decrease crime temper
arily in one community, there probably is no material
decrease in the sum total of crime throughout the
country as a whole.
Such a situation in the everlasting war between
crime and law and order can be met and overcome
only by concerted and continued effort in all cities all
the time When professional criminals are driven
from New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia or
any other city, there must be place for them to
90 where they will feel safe from the law
If we Judge the future by the past, there is no
reason tn exnect any such concert of political action,
for POLITICAL inclined to take things easy
and to be too tolerant of the underworld unless driven
to action by powerful and insistent public opinion
Public opinion will be powerful and insistent only
when organized. So it may become necessary Tor q
nonpartsan business anG professional organization IN
each community to make the drive permanent ana
then cooperative action in national war on crime
by these various organizations.
In short there must be continuous pressure on
organized politics by organized business II the war
on organized crime is to be successful

amount of mineral matter. Two-thirds of the
weight of some bones composed of mineral salt
calcium phosphate.
But if bone is treated with acid, the mineral
matter can be dissolved out leaving the bone in its
original shape. This proves that the bone is an
organic structure through which the mineral matter
is distributed.
There are two types of bone known as compact
and canceated
The outer surfaces of all bones made of the
compact type. This presents smooth, hard surface
like ivory The whole of the shaft of the long bones
is formed of compact bone
The interior of most bones is formed of the cam
cellated type particularly the heads of the long
and the interior of the ribs
The cancelated type has Spongy structure which
is filled with fatty tissue. This fatty tissue is rich
in blood vessels
The cavity of the shaft of long bone is filed
with a fatty tissue known the bone marrow.
Under the microscope, it can be seen that bone is
made up OF little circular structures units. Each
structure is known as Haversian system.
Each structure consists of a number of coneentric
rings Scattered among these rings are a number OF
small open spaces cavities In each Of these small
spaces is a cell. known as the bone corpuscle.
An intricate system of openings connect up the
various cells and in turn the Haversian systems.
Two kinds OF bone marrow found in the bones
They known red marrow and yellow marrow.

Yell for innovation

TIME resulting frame of mind has
l. its risks The hope that we
can accomplish certain things often
grows into a conviction that they
always have been accomplished.
The knowledge that we have rea-
lized so many dreams frequently
leads to the notion that dreaming
does the trick. Out of it all there
develops a disposition to underesti-
mate the difficulties OF a given situ-
alton, to accept a task as completed
when it is barely begun, to minimize
the time and education required for
great undertakings.
The conservative ed radical have
changed places. The multitude yells
for innovation, where it once yelled
to stand still. The exceptional leader
today is the one who advises to
"look before you leap"
Formerly, the serious side of life
centered in efforts to preserve the
past, whether from physical, in
telleetual or spiritual standpoint,
and men tolerated novelties, inven-
tions and discoveries chiefly as a
matter of recreation
Today the serious side Of life cen
tiers in efforts to do some = ng new,
something different, something star
Ting while old works, old ways, old
theories and old practices are ex-
hibited to entertain the curious.

Consider the federal court decision uttered by
Philadelphia judge. that has all the vets and drys
talking this battered old year draws to a close
The court has found guilty and fined New
Yorker who bought liquor from Philadelphia and
had the latter deliver it to him in New York Charge:
Conspiracy to commit offense against the United
States"
The ofTense was not the drinking or buying of
liquor there being no law against drinking or buying
but the sale of liquor. The New Yorker said the
learned Judge, conspired with the bootlegger in the
sale of liquor
Now listen for legalistic wrangling over that de-
cision There will be plenty of it from this time on
Eventually the United States supreme court win give

A Fine Record

Retiring from public Office after five years OF
service as attorney general Arthur L. Gilliom will
carry with him the esteem of lawyers and the thanks
Of laymen for setting new standard in that office
It is something in these days to administer
public Office In behalf Of the people, without regard
to politics and POLITICAL considerations. 1t is some
thing more to show fine courage and deep con-
sideration for the fundamental principles of govern

easily have shrunk
No one would believe that Gilliom acted from any
hope of political reward when he challenged the
superpower OF the Anti-saloon League, which he
charged was threatening the integrity of courts.
The practical politician knew that such cha-
enge could have only disastrous political effect in
the immediate future

But custom has made it the milestone at which
men may and communities may pause for a moment
on the way and looking back over the path, take
new resolution and new courage
Men may make new resolutions They may know
that even as they make them, they will break them
But it is better to set higher goal and fail than
not to try.
Communities may make new pledges They may
take new hope, They may find new courage.
The pledges of communities can only come from
citizens No citizen is too obscure or too humble to

What would you do for Indianapolis during the

What would you give to it in the way of material
things that would bring more of happiness. less of
poverty more OF content?
What would you give it in spiritual outlook that
would make it a better place this year than it was
in 1928?
You do not necessarily have to be dictator. For
community effort comes only from suggestion And
only upon suggestion our citizens act together.

one can make is that each will think OF indianapolis

Growing Too Connected

IF our forefathers had a DISPOSE
4 ton to exaggerate the wisdom of
their ancestors, we have a DISPOSE
ton to belittle it. If they were too
hunnble for their own good, we may
be- growing too conceited.
There is a definite relationship
between the past and the future.
While each generation can add some
thing by specializing, experimenting
and thinking, it cannot add very
much.
Slow as the old boys we're, and
scared to go ahead, they learned a
lot as they went along. False as
some of their notions and supersti-
tions may have been. they were not
wrong in all respects. What we
know does not consist wholly, or
even in large part, of destruction.
The bulk of it is derived from
what they knew. To a measurable
extent, modern progress rests on the
expansion of principles and ideals
which are almost as old as human
consciousness. Though democracy
is supposed to be of recent origin,
men dreamed of it two or three
thousand years ago.

\ chief claim to distinction is the
ruthless manner in which it sweeps
aside ancient landmarks, customs
and theories. They need not be so
ancient, either.
The works and ways Of last year,
or even yesterday, are likely to be
swept aside If they block the path.
Nothing interests lis so much as the
possibility Of change and Improve

lutionary such an attitude is, how
completely 1t has altered the hui
man outlook, how differently men
have come to view life than they
did only three or four generations
back.
For thousands of years the pre-
dominant human motive was abid-
ing faith in existing customs and
beliefs. Men hoped for little except
to perfect what had come down to
them from their fathers. The car
penter had no aspiration except to
be better carpenter; the lawyer
had no object except to make a
nicer Interpretation of presidents;
the preacher had no conception of
his duty except to keep hammering
on time-honored dogma.
IT change occurred, it was by ac-
cident or unconsciously. Men not
only refused to seek it, but actual
ly had a horror of it.

Change Is Human Destiny

TEE viewpoint of this generation
\ Is diametrically opposed to that
net only of ancient times, but to
that of fairly recent times. We
have come to look upon change, in
novation and improvement as hui
man destiny.
That, more than anything else,
explains the rapid progress we are
making and the revolutionary ideas
we are entertaining toward systems,
conventions, and institutions that
even our great-grandfathers re-
garded as irrevocably established.
Men have come to the conclusion
that little is impossible if they think,
that most obstacles can be over
come, most problems solved and
most mysteries explained if they
but put their minds to it.
The time-honored notion that
fate has surrounded them with in
surmountable barriers is practically
dead.
