Fits Nicely

IF it we're Watkins 7 couldn't do a
l. thing about it. But Chickering
fits in very neatly.
It seems that whenever Chester
Beamish gets into comical mood,
and he is generally the life of the
party, he refers to his wife as Mrs.
Chickering.
This is a rather personal joke
and Mr.. Beamish would never think
of using it except at times when
one or two of his old friends are
around. The Hemingways, for in
stance, Joe and Leatrice.
You see the point of it is that
Mrs. Beamish has legs which are
not particularly thin and Chickering
is the name of a piano.
When the Beamishes were married
the short skirt had not been in
vented and the legs of a lady could
feasibly be kept within the limits OF
a purely local joke.
Even in later days Mrs. Beamish
never went in for extreme styles.
I've heard her say she'd just feel
naked if she 5obbed her hair. And
she never did. That is, not up till
last Thursday, when dined with
the BeamisheS.
So you see in this very simple
way, by the creation of a little
fantasy, I have fixed Chickering
TOTO in my mind so that viii never
forget it? But curse it all, who is
it that lives there? Don't tell me.
It'll come to me. What's the use
of remembering the number if I
can't remember who it is that lives
there?
Will you excuse me just q minute
while I call up and find out. And
come to think of it, wasn't that
Chickering $3.50?

stock or the holders of their bonds.
How does this come about? Not, of course be-
cause profits are larger this year than before for they
are not Indeed profits for the first quarter Of this
year are considerably smaller. the whole than they
were for the same period last year.
But it has become recognized a sound financial
policy for the corporations to lay aside large amount
their surplus profits in good years in the form Of
cash or easily quidated securities, so that they will
be able to pay the of industry usual when
profits fall of. . Payments to labor come last; no
funds are accumulated in good periods wherewith
to remunerate the workers when depression arrives
The only remedy for this is, Of course, unemploy-
ent insurance. We need not accept the Socialistic
contention that labor produces all value. But it is
true that labor is certainly important in industry
as capital and is far less capable of meeting periods
of unemployment or seriously curtailed income. AS
the above writer continues
This is one of the most telling arguments for
unemployment insurance. With proper foresight
funds might be built up from contributions by en-
poyers and employees to furnish at least some COM
pensation to those who furnish the labor in produc-
ton, which certainly is not less important than
capital"

THE American Civil Liberties
Il Union reports that the first
five months of 1880 have been
characterized by more activities in
the nature Of repression, censorship,
and denial of constitutional rights
than any similar period since the
war.
Surveys by correspondents in forty
states show that conditions are
about the same in thirty one, worse
in three and better in six.

remember the six in which they

PASCAL'S BIRTH
June 10

.ON June 10, 1923. Blaise Pascal,
~ noted French philosopher,
mathematician and writer, and
one of the first to attempt a phi
loSophy Of mathematics, was born
at Clermont-Ferrand, France.
His mother died in his infancy
and his father moved to Paris
eight years later Educated by
his father here, Pascal showed re-
markable percocity in mathematics
When only IS, he wrote a work
on the geometry of comics, most Of
which is lost, though part has
been restored from his correspon-
dence with Leibnitz. It contained
two important theorems, one of
which is known as the famous Pas
calls theorem.
When his sister and father re-
moved to Rouen few years later,
Pascal engaged in scientific studies
there.
A great change occurred in his
life in 1854, when he gave up the
study of mathematics and philoso-
ply and embraced the austere re-
ligiouS life of the JanSenists at
Port Royal near Paris, where he
spent his remaining years.
The subsequent controversy be-
tween the Jesuits and Jansenists
led Pascal's publication of the
Provincial Letters" in favor of the
latter. These letters are said to
be the greatest masterpieces in the
literature of irony.
PaScal's decision to devote his
time to religion is said to have
been caused by a carriage acct
dent.

Why? A READER.
Editor Tirnes-Last Sunday I was
at Crown Hill cemetery and I no
ticed that James Whitcomb Riley's
grave, the grave of the great lover
of children, is surrounded by flowers
and vacant ground. Why is it that
Riley should be on the highest place
in the cemetery, his grave alone?
Why can not the small children,
from infants ages to the age of
10, be buried about him until the
place is filed with these children
he loved, instead of wild flowers?
One of his poems that won the
children was:
Little Orphan Armies come to our
house to stay,
can wash the cups an saucers, an
brush the crumbs away.
"An' shoe the chickens off the
porch,
can dust the hearth, ard sweep
"An' make the fire an bake the
bread,
"An' earn her bread-an' keep.
"An' all us other children, when the
supper things is done,
I'VE set around the kitchen fire an
have the moStest fun,
"A-list'nin' to the witch tales, that
Annie tells about,
"An' the Gobble-uns ill git you, ef
you don't watch out"

Times Readers Voice Niezcs

Editor Tinles-A constant read
err Of The Times, I do not think
there is a better paper published
in Indianapolis. But all one can
read is about some one being
knocked on the head and robbed,
or some one leaving babies on the
road. Why is all this going on?
Here is my opinion. If all mar
ried women in the city would stay
home and wash dishes and scrub
floors and make homes for their
husbands and babies instead Of
working for cents less an hour
than men, there might not be so
many men walking the streets and
babies crying for bread.
I am married and have two chill
dren and love them better than
anything else in the world. How
could any mother leave children on
the roadside as the honorable Mrs.
Breedlove" did? 1 expect Mrs.
Breedlove wishes it had been three
or four babies she left at the rate
of $4,000 for each. The one who
gave her the money should look for
the mother who left her baby in
the parked car. They sure started
something.

Editor Times--A little girl has

Already Mr.. Kilgore is passing
the buck, by saying that there were

long the poles had been in use. IN
stead of paying such large salaries
to officials who spend most OF their

When YOurC Cough

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home.
1t saves money and gives you the most

born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Amy druggist can supply you with
PA ounces of Pinex. Pour this into q
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gram
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble ut all TO mix, and when
you once use It, you viii never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
goOd-children really like 1t.
1t Is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and
sOothes and heals the intiamed men,
branes. At the same time, part Of
the medicine Ia absorbed into the
blood, where II acts directly on the
bronchial tubes, and helps the system

those severe coughs which follow cold
epidemies, are promptly ended.
Pinex Is q highly concentrated COM
pound Of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent OF creosote, in

MISS DAVIDSON
A SUICIDE.

BLUE HILL, Me-, Nov. IL
dN.S0-Suicide by drowning
was the verdict today In the
death of Miss Alice r. David
son, 81, member of a wealthy
pittsburgh, Pa, family for whom
a search by airplane and posse
of $50 persons had been made
since November 3 and a reward
of $500 posted.
The body was found under q
small boat landing, two miles
from her summer home at Par
ker's Point, by Max Hinckley,
his son and another boy.
Acting Medical Examiner r. N.
v. Bliss declared it was a case
of suicide by drowning. Whether
the body drifted across the bay
from the Davidson summer home
at Parker's Point, or whether
the woman had walked to the
landing and jumped off, DR.. Bliss
could not determine.
Miss Davidson, suffering from
"a nervous disorder, had spent the
summer here with her mother,
Mrs. N. ]. Davidson, and other
members of the family. They
were to have left for Pittsburgh
last Friday.

BA[LOU REPORT
SHOWS GAINS

Thirty-one new buildings have
been added to the school system
within the past 10 years. with a
total Of 366 class rooms and 18
assembly gymnasiums, according
to the report Of DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools.
One Of the most important
movements initiated during the
1O-year period covered by this
report, DR.. Ballou says. was the
attempt to secure more adequate
schoolhouse accommodations. This
movement, began early in 1920,
started with a survey Of the con-
gested conditions in the schools
in 1920 and was followed by Con-
greSsional hearings in 1922 and
1928, which resulted in enactment
Of the five-year school building
program act of 1925.
The tabulation, prepared by
DR.. Ballou, shows the construc-
ton program provided facilities
for l4,640 elementary pupils,
$3.50 students Of the junior high
schools and 6,100 senior high
school pupils.
Describing schoolhouSe con-
struction in this period as sun
paralleled in the history of the
schools of Washington" DR.. Bal
lou attributes the success of the
program to the unified efforts
OF the community and those gov.
ernmental agencies having to do
with legislation and appropria-
tions.

Brooklyn, Sept. 18.-ReEIoping to

the st. Louis Cardinals picked Bur
leigh Grimes to pitch today.
Another defeat today would send
the Robins two games back Of first
place while a victory would again put
them in practically a tie with the

games to play to only eight for the
Robins and the Missourians have lost
two fewer Of their contests and that's

send Grimes against his former

has been coming along fast the last

for someone to fill in at any position.
Wingard by trade Is q southpaw
