There was a crowd outside of her

her mother sitting on some furniture

"Momma, momma, what. is it? Why

"We didn't have money for the

James mother took the little girl in
her arms and Rugged her, rocking
back and forth. But, why are you
here? You should be in school,
"Yes. but MON, I was SO hungry

teacher was saying, and so I was sent

She couldn't. She sat there with

she said to herself. "Her mouth keeps
moving up and down all the time" "
Jane felt the eyes of the class room
turned on her. But she kept looking
at the teacher. Finally she realized
that the teacher was talking to her.
Jane, I've told you again and again

We are the lowly folk. scorned of the earth,
Ours is the wretched hut cold is our HEARTH
You the mighty folk, noble your birth
Foe to the laborer, friend to the rich!
Should we, unfortunate, ask you for bread
Laugh at us, jeer at us, curse instead!
Turn out wandering, cold and unfed-
Foe to the laborer, friend to the rich!
Look to your deeds, o you selfish and strong!
Loosen your strangle hold, lest you go wrong;
Long have we borne with you, witness how long
Foe to the laborer, friend to the rich!
Ours is the cause that shall never be dead
Ours is the ire from which nations have fled!
Ours is the sword that hangs over your head
Foe to the laborer, friend to the rich.
This is our battIe-cry, let it ring out;
This is our battIe-cry, facing about,
This is our battle-cry storming redoubt-
Up with the laborer. down with the rich!

Siege of 1919 to Be Given
at State Playground
by Veterans.

When the "call to arms" was
sounded in 1917, men rallied to the

the state a taste of the war which
they lived.

CITY PAY HIKES
ARE RULED OUT
No Boost for Works Board
Employees, Says Chief.

Salary increases for works board
employees will not be allowed in the
1881 budget, E. Kirk Mckinney,
board president, ruled today.
William E. Holmes, city hall Gus
todlan, requested an increase from
$1,000 to $4,000 year for the "su-
perintendent of public buildings 1t
was said the new title had been
given the city hall custodian be-
cause it was more "dignitied."
Mckinney said Holmes did not
desire the increase for himself be-

applicants.
Holmes, a structural iron worker

Labor Union, has been active in
Democratic politics recently.

BIRTH RATE In
CITY INCREASED
323LAST YEAR
Gain Is Shown in Face of
General Decline Over
Rest of Nation.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25.-.
More babies are being born in Indi-
annapolis, but fewer throughout the
nation. Vital statistics, published
today by the census bureau, report
ed 6,931 new arrivals in Indianapo-
lis during 1929. against $500 in
1928.
Indina, as a whole, reported
decline birth rate, with $3.50 last
year, as compared with 60,289 in
1928. The same tendency was OBJ
served in the nation at large.
In the entire registration area,
which includes more than 95 per
cent of the population. The births
were 2,142,124 in 1929, against 2,220,-
1877 the previous year.
Death Rate Stationary
While the nation as a whole ex-
perienced a death rate practically
stationary, the indianapolis rate de-
clined fractionally, reported deaths
being 1913 in 1929, against 1888
in 1928. The citys infant mortal
ity rate-deaths of children under
one year of age-increaSed from
66.3 a thousand births in 1928 to
ST. in 1929. Infant deaths re-
ported by the city were 438 and
469, respectively.
Despite til slight increase in in
FAINT mortality, however, the city
still boasts rate better than the
national average. In 1928 the rate
for the nation as whole was 68S
a thousand births, while Indianapo-
lis reported 66.3 thousand. The
city rate of GIT for 1929 practically
is the same as the national average
of 67.3 for that year.
One of Lowest
Indiana maintains one of the
lowest infant mortality rates in the
nation-63.6 last year and 62.5 in
1923. The state was one of twelve,
however, which reported an increase
in this rate last year. The census
bureau attempts no explanation Of
the figures.
Eighteen of Indiana's thirty rank
ing cities reported fewer births in
1929. Among those reporting in
creases were indianapolis, Bloom
ington, East Chicago, Evansville,
Gary, Hammond, Kokomo, Marion
and South Bend. Weighed to
population changes, Indianas death
rate by cities shows no change. One
of the most remarkable experiences
observed by the bureau in the en-
tire national survey was the
occurrence of exactly 200 deaths in
Bloomington.

AggreSsiveness of Modern

Railway Chief.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 25.-Modern in
dustry's aggressive search for new
trade worlds to conquer constitutes
a real menace to world peace, Sir
Henry w. Thornton, chairman and
president of the Canadian National
Railways, said today in an address
before $4,000 delegates to the con-
vention of Rotary international.
In discussing "the place of mod
ern industry in improving interna-
tional relations" he outlined the
past causes Of war and pictured
present conditions provocative of
armed conflict. He said in part:
1.-THE fundamental obstacle to the
establishment of amiable interna-
tional relations is our hereditary
contentious psychology, perhaps
generally dormant, but always ex-
plosWe.
"Psychologically, the underlying
motive is competition, expansion and
invasion of international markets,
all rooted in acquisitivenesS.
GAS the armies of trade march
across nations they Immediately
come into contact with the barriers
Of tariffs and national pride which,
though intangible, are just as dis
tinctly Notifications to be conquered
and demolished as the more tangi-
BILE military works which were en-
countered by captains of ancient in
vading armies.
I'm this struggle, which is both
offensive and defensive, lies unques-
tionably the real menace to world
peace. 1t is the field in which mod
ern industry and it's leaders can
play their first part"

PURDUE IGNORES
U. S. RULING ON
! ARMS TRAINING
University to Continue to
Insist on R. o. 7. c.,
Says PreXy.

Compulsory military training will
continue at Purdue university, In
diana's only land grant school, de-
spite the ruling Of United States
Attorney-GeneraI Mitchell today
that military training at land
grant colleges is an optional and not
compulsory course.
This opinion was advanced by
President Edward c. Elliott of Pur-
due. when informed Of the attorney
generals ruling by The Times.
There is nothing new or revolu-
tionary in the attorney generals
ruling" President Elliott declared.
Known 1t for Years
I'VE have known that for twenty
five years. 1 see nothing in the
ruling which would cause our board
of trustees to change the present
Purdue rules governing military
training"
The Purdue rule is that "all stu
dents are required to take military
training for two years"
Purdue was founded by act of the
Indiana legislature in 1885, accept
ing provisions of the Morrill, act of
congress, under which all land grant
institutions Of the United States
were organized.
First money of $4,000 was re-
ceived in 1867 from sale of 800 acres
of federal land grant.
Founded by United States Aid
Indiana university was founded by
the state without this federal aid.
Military training has been compul-
sorry there since the war, but is be-
ing fought by the Indiana Daily
Student, official campus publication
All efforts to fight compulsory
military training at Purdue have
been checkmated promptly. Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie has been a
leader in fighting against the
change at his alma mater.
The Mitchell ruling was given in
support of the ruling of the interior
department that Wisconsin univer-
sity, land grant school, was within
its rights in making military train
ing optional.
During the sixty-eight years of
their operation, most land grant
colleges have operated on the theory
military training is a required
course.
