OUR LANGUAGE

 Why shouldn't the plural of

 But though we say mother we never say methren. So the English, l fancy you all will agree,
 Is the funniest language you ever did see.

PASS SCHOOL BILLS
Levy for State Aid viii
Raise S35O,OOO Yearly.

Senators who spent themselves
debating state school aid when two
house bills were up for considera-
ton Saturday, said not a word when
the bills were passed in the senate
today.
One Of the bills was amended so
that it provides a 2.8 cent levy and
will raise about $350,OoO. Originally
is provided for levy of 3.5 cents
and raising of 100000. 1t will be
sent back to the house for concur
renee.
The other bill gives the state aid
examiner a $4,000 fund to employ
investigators on state aid requests.
The examiner remains in the Office
of the superintendent of public in
struction, despite efforts to put the
fund back under the state board Of
accounts.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, March
H. o. D. Segrave, Eng
lish automobile driver, this after
noon expects to attempt to break
the worlds automobile speed record
OF 2o7.55 miles an hour now held by
J. M. White, Philadelphia.
White, or a driver to be selected
by him, also viii, try for new rec
ord with his Tri-plex car.
Segrave will drive the Golden
Arrow, the Irving-Napier car, which
has theoretical speed of 24O miles
an hour. The rivals for speed hon
ors mutually have agreed that Sc
grave will have the first hour upon
the beach speedway, made hard and
smooth by northeast wind.
He will be followed by White, if
the latter elects to drive today.
The British driver estimated he
would Lave about one chance in ten
of coming out of the speed attempt
alive.
II have become a fatalist in this
game" he said. That is, after I
have taken all possible precautions
with the car, its construction, and
condition, and have taken all pos
sible precautions as to beach and
wind conditions-after that I am an
absolute fatalist. If everything is
right, I will try. If I win, win;
if I fail, fail"
The Golden Arrow is more of a
hazard than the Sunbeam, with
which he exceeded 200 miles an
hour here in previous competition
with the White Tri-plex, Segrave
said. He said the new Irving-Napie
IS much lighter than the giant twin
motored Sunbeam.

Since he first entered the senate
in 1917, Senator James j. Nejdl,
Whiting, has been an ardent sup
porter of all bills designed to in
crease public education oppcrtuni-
ties in the Hoosier commonwealth.
Saturday he introduced to his SEN
atorial friends two tangible results
of this support. A son and a daugh-
ter who are both seniors.
Miss Daisy Nejdl will graduate
this spring from the home town
high school. The senator's son, Lam
bert, will be twice a senior Four
years ago he graduated from Pur-
due university as a chemical en-
gineer. He was then 20. This year
he will receive his M. d. degree from
Northwestern university medical
school, Chicago.
Miss Lucille Witter, also a Whiting
high school senior, a friend of Miss
Nejdl, accompanied her.
Senator Nejdl, as a youth, came TO
America from what was then Bo-

slight, but in his years here he edu-
Gated himself by the aid of little

He is considered an authority on

ASSEMBLY IN
LAST DAY; "a
BILLS PASSED
113 Measures Still Are to
Come UP for Third
Reading.
SLASH APPROPRIATIONS
Boost in Levy From 23 to
81 or 80 Cents May
Be Necessary.

The seyenty-sixth Indiana legis-
lature went into the closing hours
of its session this afternoon with
the providing of funds for the oper-
alton of the state for the next two
years its major business.
Thirty-four bills were passed this
morning, twenty-five by the senate
and twelve by the house of repre-
sentatives, leaving 113 measures still
to come up for third reading. Most
OF the measures were regarded as
lInimportant, however.
On conference committee agree
ments hinged final approval of the
$55,000000 appropriation measure
and the store licensing bill-only
revenue raising measure of any Inn
portance to win legislative favor.
The joint committee on the ap-
preparation bill slashed 100000
from the measure at conferences
this morning and were considering
cutting off another 100000.
Strike Out Armories
The 100000 slash definitely de-
cided on will be made from the
Governors contingent fund, reduce
ing that item to 5000 900 yea1
from the $250,00O a year to which
senate amendment had raised itl
The house originally set the amount
at $4,000 year.
The 100000 provision for building
two new state arnories was the
slash under consideration. After
announcement that it has been de-
cioed to make the cut, striking out
all provisions for building new ar
mories, the committee decided to
reconsider the matter this after
noon.
Meantime, committees of the tMs
houses were trying to reach agree.
ment on senate amendments to the
store licensing bill. These amend
mentS increased the license fee for
stores singly operated from So to SIS
and reduced the maximum license
fee for each store in large chains
from $3.50, as fixed by the house, to
$25. The senate further amended
the measure to bring filing stations
within its provisions.
License Bill Hangs Fire
All hope having been abandoned
Of eriacting a tax on the capital
stock of corporations doing business
in Indiana, the legislature was re-
signed to a substantial increase in
the state tax rate. Budget COM
mittee members have estimated thu
present 23-cent rate must be boost
ed to 81 or possibly 33 cents. Be-
cause there is no certainty what
amount Of revenue may be OBJ
tained from the store licensing bill,
If approved by the Governor, legis-
lators were not prepared to estimate
what reduction might be effected in
the potential 8 or 10-cent tax rate
increase.
One revenue raising proposal has
been advanced to the Governors
desk. 1t is the house bill, passed
by the senate Saturday, placing q
tax Of SO cents on each 500 osfs9e
annual volume of business of for
eign finance corporations. 1t is ex-
pected to produce approximately
100000 annually.
