KINCAN & co.
ONE OF CITYS
BIG INDUSTRIES
Firm Started 81 Years Ago
in ireland, Came Here
in 1862.

Kingan & Company. pork and
beef packers, has grown from a
small start to one of the leading
industries of indianapolis. with
branch houses throughout the
United States and selling connec-
lions in practically all foreign cotln-
tries.
The company was started eighty
four years ago in Belfast, Ireland,
by three brothers, Samuel, Thomas
D. and James Kingan.
The custom, at that time, was
for the packer to buy dressed hogs
from the farmer and cure and pack
the shoulders, hams and middles.
The special cure used by the King
an brothers became popular and
their business grew rapidly
They opened their first branch
house in the United States at
Brooklyn in 1851. Within a short
time they removed to Cincinnati.
When business continued to ex-
pand, it became necessary to seek a
location where more and better hogs
would be available, resulting in re-
moval to Indianapolis in 1862.
Artificial refrigeration applied to
cutting, curing and packing of meat
was invented by Thomas Kingan a
year later. This development was
of great Importance to the farmer
and stock raiser, making it pos
sible to conduct slaughtering and
packing all year, instead of dur
ing the cold months.

compilation as business, One-Story

AL SMITH AS AN AUTHOR

Those who have worried about what A Smith would do for a liveli- hood following the late political un- pleasantness never gained much sympathy from the Happy Warrior. Al has given no evidence of being hard up for cash since those hectic days, and his expenses have not been exactly slight. either. Few. however, expected that he would turn author. Perhaps the experience Of Calvin Coolidge as an author taught Al something He, too, could write; or at least, could dictate fluently. Though he is not command ing s2 a word, there will be plenty of words to his autobiography. for it will start at or in the vicinity Of the Fulton fish market and end with the late campaign.

\ BID FOR VOTES

With 5,000,0O0 additional women possessing the right to vote in Great Britain for the first time, the pres ent political campaign revolves itself around an attempt to impress these new voters with the advantages of the three parties making bid for their votes. The Conservative party which is in power and anxiously en- deavoring to be returned to power has played what it thinks is a trump card in influencing the women by announcing, through Winston Church. ill, chancellor of the exchequer, that the tax on tea would be eliminated entirely. Thus tea-drinking homes in Great Britain will save &S0,00O.0 900 a year in taxes: and as virtually every home consumes tea, every woman is supposed to be vastly pleased.
 The tea tax, which has been in eX- istence since the reign of Queen Eliza beth, which ended in 1903. thus is utilized through it's elimination as bid for votes. It is as if the eovern- ment handed the voters s30,000,0 ,000 for their support.
 In considering tea tax politics Americans will be reminded of the Revolutionary war

the Volstead Act is all that is re- quired to void the prohibition law.
 The 18th Amendment, according to Darrow, merely authorized Congress to act on prohibition. The action subsequently taken was in the form of the Volstead act, which has functioned as the enforcement act of the amendment. There can be lit tie doubt that without the Volstead Act prohibition would have been existent in theory only.
 Repeal the Nolstead act" in ef- feet says Darrow, and there will be no law against liquor, and the amendment will have no force"
 Everything points to the outlook that repeal of the Volstead act is to be the first objective of the anti prohibitionists. The state referen- dums so far held. and those which are contemplated, have this object in view-the gradual specialization of sentiment against the enforcement act.
 The claim of MT. Darrow that congressmen are more interested in .l~.I one of those happy thoughts that defy denial. But so far as the Sen- ate is concerned that still leaves a grievous difficulty for the vets to contend with: The numerous slight ly populated dry states are as we'll represented in the Senate as the we'll populated wet states.

THE ClRFEW IN NEW YORK

During the early years of Mayor Walkers administration it was brought to the mayors attention that men going 10 work frequently were confronted with sad sights as night clubs disgorged themselves during the early morning hours This, the mayor held. tended to make the workingmen dissatisfied with their lot Men who went to work early in the morning were not elevated by seeing merry makers in a state of ultra merriment vending their way somewhere to obtain day time sleep. The sons of toll might think too much; they might begin wondering why they should toil while others spend their substance in riotous living; and they might in- quire as to where they got the money. and how. So the mayor had law passed that night clubs must close at 3 a. m.
 After all, however, law is only law. If it isn't enforced it becomes so much black ink to clutter up the books. That's all that happened 10 the three o'clock curfew law.
 Police Commissioner Whalen, however, who has a way of going from one thing 10 another without batting an eye, has hit upon the law as something else to enforce. Fairly well done with driving the underworld elsewhere, smashing 100 speakeasies and announcing 32,00O remained, regulating traffic until the merchants objected. and giving out statements between efforts, he has concluded that the curtew law is the next thing needing attention.
 That done, something else will have to be trotted forth to public gaze In a city as large q New York there can scarcely ever be q paucity of things that need fixing by the police missioner.

UNCLE BENN'S NO-WASTE
 GAMES
By Paul Dexter

And now come. boys and girls, it's play-time. PIay-time. Play-time!
 First Of all We must remember that play In itself, is waste of time. And who remembers what We learn ed yesterday about Wasted Time? The boz or girl who wastes time, or anything else, is just as naughty as the boy or girl who steals. for. after all, wasting is stealing. isn't it? And play. just for the sake of play. is stealing time which belongs right fully 10 our parents. our teachers or our country. And we don't want to be known as thieves, do' We?
 So the games which Uncle Benn is going to teach us are games which will do us good in one way or an- other. And. as we play, We must keep thinking: "Is this helping me? Or am I wasting time which I ought to be dcvoting to my lessons or my work or my country?'
 The first game that we are going 10 play is called

 Q. Where do red or bush dogs come from?
 A. These animals are native in the dense swamps of interior Brazil. Their existence has been considered legendary, and even the swamp h. dians seldom see one of them. This animal is almost entirely nocturnal and inhablts only the denser tangles of the jungle swamps. Nobody goes into the swamps at night, so it escapes all contact with men. It probably spends good deal of time in the water. The only specimen in captivity died at the National Geological Park in Washington, D. C., February IS, 1929.
 Q. On what day does spring begin?
 A. The time varies. Sometimes it begins on March % and some times on March 21, at different hours.
