Don'tP PAY

Events are proving that whatever purpose
the legislature had in mind in forcing every
operator Of an automobile to get a drivers
license, those who have been named to dis
tribute them believe that it was designed to
give them notary fees.
From various sections Of the state come
complaint that some agencies refuse TO accept
any application unless the notary fee is paid
to them.
That Is high-handed aad Of course, illegal.
But is Illustrates the attitude.
The law is framed to force as many as pos
sible into the Offices of those named by the sec
rotary Of state Every inconvenience is thrown
in the way of those who object to paying good
money for bad politics
In many counties the Hoosier Auto Club,
which has been most active in legislative lob
bies for higher gas taxes has the privilege In
some counties this club gets free office rent. 1t
IS apparently fast becoming a part Of the gov
eminent itself, except that it is beyond the
reach Of the people.
In other counties the privilege has been
handed to political workers, many Of them
county Republican chairmen.
The Times is giving free service to all who
call at It's office There should be similar offers
all over the state.
The time has come to teach all political
puppies to quit sucking eggs.

A similar proverb substitutes the word thunder
for rainbow This proverb is also pretty generally
true.
A thunder shower early in the morning usually in
dicates the presence of a large quantity Of warm
humid air and therefore may mark the beginning Of
a period Of Showery weather.

that it took the maximum air movements Of the whole
day to produce it and hence is sign that the atrno

These are known technically as "crepuscuar rays. "
They caused by the sunlight making its way

But It is obvious that the rays can not be seen

Venezuelan Revolt

TOO much significance is not to
I be attached to the Venezuelan
revolution. 1t is merely one Of those
outbreaks which generally occur
whenever a Latin dictatorship
ceases.
President Gomez resigned last
month after holding the country in
an iron grip for several years. This
resignation appears to have been
accepted by more than one political
faction as a signal that the lid is off.
Three or four hundred would-be
revolutionists, thinking that the
time was ripe to grab the govern
ment, but lacking arms and ammu-
milton, raided the Curacao capital
of the Dutch West Indies, carrying
off the governor and the chief of
police as hostages, and Selling an
American ship in which to make
their getaway.
1t was a bold, if not original, step,
but probably will not accomplish
very much.
The Dutch already have dis
patched a torpedo boat to the scene
with a cruiser in readiness to fol-
low, while our own state depart
ment is prepared to act if occasion
requires.

Avocado Tastes Good, Is Healthful

ergy value is high as compared with
other fruits. The avocado is, there
fore, not only an exceedingly pala-
table fruit. but a valuable addition
to the diet.
Miss Graves points out that the
American who tries a new fruit al
ways begins by seasoning with sugar
or condiments and later eats the
fruit in the natural state.
That was the story Of the grape
fruit and the banana. Today the
connoisseur in avocado eating cuts
the fruit lengthwise, removes the
seed and arranges the halves on a
salad plate, garnishing it with let
tuce leaves.
Then he eats the fruit like can
taloupe or apple, but if he is less eX-
perienced he is likely to add dash
Of lemon or lime juice or some high
ly seasoned dressing.
The avocado may also be COM
bined with cucumbers, tomatoes or
sandwich filings, or it may be mold
ed with all sorts Of fruits and vege-
tables in gelatin.

a Victim of Intolerance

Write it not that Edward FOgarty, humanitarian
rebuilder Of broken lives died by his own hand.
List him, rather, with the victims of that wave OF
intolerance bigotry and hate which translated itself
into political power and shamed, as it ruled.
The fine record of Fogarty as warden Of the, peni-
Tertiary won for him the respect and confidence Of all
good citizens His success in retaining and rebuild
ing the hotsam of humanity which cast into his
care brought him the admiration Of the nation and
especially of those who make a scientific study OF the
care OF offenders
He had served under Governors of both parties and
knew no parsanship his aithfulness to his trust
His work and especially the Michigan City institu-
ton, had become his life.
When political hates had been aroused and needed
to be appeased Fogary forced to leave the work
he loved the institution into which he had bulded his
personality.
That intolerance to a most tolerant man, ingrati-
tude to one who gave smile for smile should bring
brooding depressions and darkness to the mind is
most understandable.
The state will mourn the tragic passing of this
kindly man. and it may well repent the hour when it
permitted wave of hate, intolerance and bgotry to
blot out reason and sanity from its public life

who said this we're not fish. I am
afraid their blood is warmer than
the angler imagines, and that they
very much want to live.
Still. I've yet to get a fish on my
conscience this summer and by now
I am coming around to a belief
there is far more malicious mischief
among dumb beasts than generally
is supposed.
I suspect the fish have fun out
of their trick of biting into my bait
and riding to the surface, only to
dismount at the instant I think I've
got one landed, and I'll bet they
boast about it and pretend I am

disdain. He never batted an eyehd.

Refuses 10 lake Hint

z WAS mistaken. Hardly thirty
L seconds had elapsed before the
snake rose to the surface and start
ed back toward the rock, using a
snappy overland stroke.
It wasn't funny any more, and
I slugged at him and splashed
water all over my new suit. Again
he sidestepped. and a thrilling chase
across the lake began.
Now. understand I am not blam-
ing the snake for getting out Of the
way of the oar when it was swung
at him in anger, but escape was only
one Of his motives. He also was
bent on provocation.
The nature Of the chase made it
necessary for me to kneel in the
prov of the boat and use the oar as
a paddle. The boat didn't winter
very well, and in addition to me it
contained a foot Of water.
The snake could have taken a lead
of a couple Of lengths at the very
beginning and made the race a pro-
cession. Instead he jockeyed with
me and led me on.
When I hit up the stroke he let
out a few more coils and went a
little faster. And always he re-
NAMED within an oars length.

NEW YORK CITY
June II

June IL
ON June 10, 1868, New York City
~ was incorporated. A year be-
fore it had passed from Dutch con-
trol-under the name, New Amster-
dam-to the English.
Under the original charter, which
went into effect 264 years ago today,
the mayor and aldermen were to be
appointed by the Governor Of the
province. 1t was many years before
the municipal officers were elected.
New York City offers an interest
ing study of early efforts in this
country toward efficient manage
ment of city affairs. As early IS
1867. while the city was still under
Dutch rule, local tax was levied
10 purchase fire ladders, hooks and
buckets. It was one Of the earliest
instances Of taxation for local i'm
provements in America.
A year later, in 1853 the first
street paving in the modern manner
was laid. It. too was paid for by
assessing abutting property, after a
plan to let each lot owner along the
street DO his own work was rejected.
In 1878 the province Of New York
passed again into Dutch hands, but
England regained it the following
year and held it until the American
Revolution.

L so well known to Americans as
is the term alligator pear, which is

The last term is contraction of

THE corner stone of the new De-

This structure has been described
not only as the worlds largest Of

the public service of Herbert Hoover.
1t was undertaken as a part OF
the 1868 100000 program inaugu-
rated by ex-President Coolidge,
Sis, 100000 of which will be eX-
pended for buildings at Washington,
while $248,00O00O will go for build

of a careful survey and designed to
cover ten years, it spoiled the old

THE sight Of the rainbow always has attracted the

proverbs about them. One which is true, goes as
follows:
Rainbow in the morning, sailors take warning
Rainbow at night sailors delight
Two facts must be kept in mind to see why this
proverb is true One is that the changes in weather
usually set in from the west The other is that the
