rier, he would think nothing Of coming home
Of an evening, washing out towels, helping
drape one of his daughters into half made
party dress, or assisting with the dinner.
False pride? Poppycock. Nonsense. No
reason why q man shouldn't do whatever
chores present themselves. Silly convention
that certain duties belong to one sex or the
other. He who hesitates is lazy.
As gradually his brood began to marry of,
those household chores automatically grew
lighter. At 4S, Kester was grandfather. At
IS, his last child had left the nest.
Life of course was simpler now. Financial
responsibility lifted, sons and daughters well on
their own, his own vigorous health unimpaired.
there seemed future and good future ahead for
KeSter.
Father win marry again, now, the girls de-
cided among themselves and affectionately
set about scouting for timber worthy of him.
As a matter of fact, Kester's thoughts did
turn that way. Even with their devotion, his
children had their own interests now. Life
was no longer the hurly-burly affair growing
family had made it. He had done good job.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-09

It was astonishing, the equanimity with
which KeSter took this mortal blow to his pride
AS the wife Of Myron put it, there was some
thing actually heart-hurting about the way in
which the grandfather Of MyrOn, r., walked
with the child out Of court, hand IA hand,
quietly, and with sweetness Of manner that
seemed to hold at bay the threat OF violent
hyyteria which had lowered oversthe child dur
ing the court room procedure.
No doubt about It, father Is simply . genius
with childrenl
Kester himself evidently believes 50. My
ron, jr., lives alone with his grandfather In q
small house they have taken on the outskirts
of town. He is serious difncult, sometimes
vicious little problem. There are some days
when Kester cannot even report for his work.
Myron jr., is one Of those special cases that
can battle physicians, parents, teachers alike.
Kester is sometimes bafhed but secure in the
confidence that he can cope with his problem.
Father win never marry now his daughters
agree, little sadly. His genius with children
won't let him.

STATE READY
TO START WORK
ON DROUGHT AID
Highway Department VIII
Launch Work at Once,
Says Hinkle.

Indiana state highway depart
ments drought relief program is to
be launched at last, according to
announcement made today by Di-
rector John J. Brown of the state
highway department.
The program, which was talked
about last August, has been made
possible by the congressional APP
preparation of s2,o45,soO Of federal
highway funds for Indiana nem-
ployment and drought relief. The
money is to be deducted eventually
from federal allotments for 1888
34-35, Brown explained.
Work to be launched at once will
be done on fourteen secondary
roads in the southern Indiana
drought-stricken area, he said. It
will be under direction of A. H
Hinkle of the maintenance division.
About 100000 is to be expended
in putting gravel or stone on the
roads and in grading. Several
hundred drought-Stricken farmers
are expected to be employed. The
money will be taken from state
funds and will be replaced by the
federal advancement, which must
be used only in qualified construc-
ton work, according to Brown.
Since these roads are in the
southern section of the state it is
expected that work can be COM
menced at once and in most in
stances continued throughout the
winter. Hinkle declared.
There are rock cuts and other
grading to be done that will be
little effected by weather condi-

OF Mine CASE
Attorneys for Union viii
Discuss Future Steps in
Suit Juggling.

Juggling of the injunction order
which Superior Judge Linn D. Hay
issued a year ago against District
Eleven of the United Mine Workers
Of America to quell rioting at the
Bicknei mines of the Knox Con-
solidated Coal Company. was to be
discussed today by John Riddle
Vincennes, legal counsel for the dis
trict, and Henry Warrum. Indian
apolis, general counsel for the in
ternational miners organization.
Riddle, when informed the shift
had been made more than four days
before interested parties were told
of it, branded the change IAN act
of legal anarchy" He was to con-
fer with Warrum in the latter
Office sometime today.
Questions Explanation
Riddle, attorney for William
Mitch, secretary Of the Terre Haute
district, said that overcrowding of
Hays court docket apparently was
not a reason for the shifting.
There probably are statutes that
provide for transfer of a case from
one court to another of equal juris-
diction if one court is congeSted.
do not believe the docket of Hays
court was overcrowded, Riddle
stated. Hay venued the case to
Harry o. Chamberlin, circuit judge,
who after Jan. will be the only
remaining G. o. P. judge.
Il do not doubt the ability OF
Judge Chamberlin to act justly in
the case Riddle said, but I do
feel that the case should have re-
manned in superior court for action
by Judge-elect Joseph R. Williams
Hays successor. I agree with Will
liams in his statement that cit is
Q most unusual procedure" Riddle
declared.
Protests Prohibited
Williams, Democrat, was the
successful candidate-opponent Of
Hay who was criticised locally and
nationally for his stringent order.
Under it, union miners were pro-
hibited from holding protest meet
ings against other union members
who chose to work in the mines for
less than the union wage scale.
Rioting and disorder had &C
companied labor difficulties at the
mines under the receivership of Ed
win D. Logsdon, who was appointed
by Hay.
