The greatest weakness of our edu-

The Mad Mullah Loose

It is inconceivable that Candidate Gloss
brenner can refrain from repudiating Charles
Jewett and his rabid statement by which he
tried, if his speech was correctly reported in
the Star, to arouse feeling of race hatred
in this campaign.
In addressing meeting of Negro citi
zens, Jewett is reported to have declared,
"Why, the name of Reginald Sullivan alone
ought to be enough to fire the red blood of
every Negro in Indianapolis"
Just why that ought to happen he did
not specify. But certainly every honest Re-
publican will repudiate such a SANDER upon
one whose reputation for honesty, integrity.
and tolerance are so firmly established.
Certain it is that when Coffin was at
tempting to organize white hatred against
the Negro four years ago, Sullivan had no
part in it. Certainly he was not consorting
then, nor is he consorting now, with those
who raised up that wave of hate which
landed Duvall and the Four HorSemen in Of
fetal power.
If the Negro remembers the political
past, he would inquire more deeply into the
anetecedents of those who, under the name
of the Ku-Klux Klan, captured the govern
ment of this city and of this state. He will
not find Sullivan among them.
What Jewett says may be of 10 impor-
lance and not binding upon the candidate.
The unfortunate part Of the situation is that
the candidate had just left the meeting and
stood sponsor for JeWett who appeared as he
left.
Certainly, if there is to be any of that
"cleanness" in the campaign for which Mr..
Glossbrenner asked when he made his first
speech, he can do nothing short of publicly
repudiating Jewett at the first opportunity
which will be at a meeting where both ap-
pear tonight.
This city has paid huge enough pen
atty for its race and religious hatreds. It
has paid in shame. 1t has paid in money. It
has paid in hate.
1t is within the power of Mr.. Glossbrenner
to stop this Mad Mullah, who apparently in
the zeal of new convert to Coffinism, is en-
deavoring to arouse race hatred in this city.
Four years ago when Coffin was electing
Duvall and the Four Horsemen, the appeal
to race hatred was open. 1t was organized
1t was known and triumphant.
No Negro will, of course, be influenced by
this mad and misguided outburst of Jewett
They will know better They know the men
who obtained power by arousing hatred
against them. And Sullivan was not one of
these.
A public apology by Mr. Glossbrenner for
the vicious appeal by Jewett should be essen
tial to his own self-reSpect and as guaran-
tee of his own promises of fairness and fit
ness for the honor.

Doubt Salt Effect in Blood Pressure

If during this period the salt is
removed from the diet, the removal
of the salt may be credited with the
lowering of the blood pressure.
If the cases actually are con-
trolled, some being allowed salt in
the diet and some deprived of salt,
the drops in blood pressure are like
ly to be the same in both groups.
Several investigators have given
large amounts of salt to patients
under these conditions to find out
if the giving of the salt would
raise the blood pressure, and they
report that it did not have this
effect.
At the present writing those
who feel that the deprivation of
salt in people with high blood pres
sure is not warranted seem to have
most of the evidence on their side.

SCIENCE
Chemical Experts Turn At
9 tention to Hating Great
Waste in Worlds Coal.
By DAVID DIETZ-

THE time probably is not far dis
l. tant when the present habit of
Shoveling coal into furnaces will be
regarded as the relic of a day which
ruthleSsly squandered the worlds
natural resources.
For the world Just is beginning to
realize the implications of the fact
that the demand for both coal and
oil increases annually, while the
supply decreases annually by the
amount used during the year.
AS a result, chemical experts In
every nation are turning their at
tention to the problem of utilizing
coal with less waste than is enta.led
in the process of throwing It d.
rectly into a furnace or flreoox.
A summary of the situation, pre-
pared by Arthur D. Little Inc, Of
Cambridge, Mass, shows that four
main lines Of research are being fol-
lowed.
The first is to improve the quality
of low-grade coal, thus making pos
sible use of certain grades of coal
which today can not be mined eco
nomically.
A number of methods have been
suggested to improve the quality OF
coal by decreasing its content Of
mineral matter or ash.
Little reports that public service
corporations are particularly inter-
ested in this because clean coal
makes for more efficient boiler OPP
Grafton and since freight costs would
be saved If the incombustible part
Of coal was removed before the coal
was shipped.

favor the method, but there are
some who have insisted constantly
that the giving of salt does not
affect the blood pressure in any
way.
Recently another study has been
added to the previous work on the
subject, the Investigations being
carried on in a Cleveland hospital.
The most recent investigation,
which concerns thirteen patients,
seems to show that the deprivation
of salt affects the height of the
blood pressure in only a few ex-
ceedingly rare cases.
When people with high blood
pressure are put to bed and kept
quiet and given a soft diet over
period of from ten to fourteen days,
the blood pressure is likely to be
lowered.

METHODS of removing ash from
1V1 coal require that the coal be
pulverized first. One method de-
veloped in England uses an air blast
to separate out the finer dust par
ticles.
The pulveri3ed coal then Is al
lowed to settle on a solution of cal
cium chloride. The ash or mineral
matter sinks in this solution while
the coal particles float on top.
3 Pulverized coal is being used to
operate the S. S. Mercer, n $500
ton vessel. 1t also is being used in
few German locomotives In
regular service.
German experts also have devel-
oped an internal combustion engine
which uses powdered coal instead
of liquid fuel. The motor is known
as the Rupamotor.
The other three general lines OF
research are based upon altering
the coal chemically. They are the
production of new coke-like sub
stance, the conversion of coal into
Edi 'lllC any Sl4lllldI 41qulQSp dilN
the conversion of coal gas into
liquid fuels.
Coke is produced by heating coal
in ovens or retorts, driving off the
volatile or gaseous, matter con-
tanned in the original coal. The
new process uses less heat than that

is of higher quality.

When I was in Boston this spring,
I got hot under the collar, when I
read an editorial about Indianapolis
being too much of a hick town to
adopt daylight savings. 1t said.
Sixty years ago this week, the larg-
est church in Indianapolis was di-
vided against itself as to whether OF
not the. church should install a
stove. One faction held that it was
a modern instrument that would not
meet with the principles of religion.
The other side thought 1t would.
Finally, after one years controversy,
the modernists won, and installed
the stove. The following Sunday
those who were opposed took off
their coats and shoes and sat there
grunbling and constantly raising
protests that they were being roast
ed by this modern device.
AFTER church was over. 1t was dis
covered that although the modern
lists had won, they did not have
courage to build a fire for fear they
would burn the church down, and
the opposition would sue them fol-
damages. The temperature at that
time in the church, was said to be
10 above zero. No one would take
the responsibility of starting the fire
resulting in no fire being built In
the stove that winter.
