LIMESTONE BID
is VOTED DOWN
FOR MEMORIAL
State Interests Lose in
Plea; Vermont Granite
to Be Used.
BIZ United Press

By United PTess
FRENCH LICK, Ind, July IA
Vermont granite will be used in con-
struction of the George Rogers Clark
memorial at Vincennes, the federal
memorial commission decided as it
let the contract for the monument
to the w. r. Heath Company,
Greencastle. The Heath company
bid was $773,8 300.
Acceptance of the bid, which was
based on Stansted granite, was in
opposition to pleas of Indiana lime
stone interests that their product be
used. 1t was contended that the
monument could be built for $I46,-
300 less if the local product was
used. Senator James Watson, Rep
resentative Albert H. Vestal and
Frederick Schortemeier, counsel for
the Indiana Limestone Company,
led the fight for the state product.
Senate May Object
A fear that trouble might arise
in the senate over the granite bid
was expressed by Watson. He point
ed out that when the commission
asks for more appropriations, as he
said would be necessary, it would be
difficult to explain why the lime
stone bid had not been accepted
with the $146,800 saving.
A. E. Kemmer, Lafayette, entered
the limestone bid, which was $627,-
0OO One other bid was considered,
that OF the Hegeman- Harris Com
pany, New York, for 1923 500. All
provided for use or some limestone,
but the Heath bid called for only
5000 cubic feet.
Members of the commission vot-
ing for the Heath bid were Senator
Simeon D. Fees, Ohio, president:
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan, Tenn. !:
Representative Arthur H. Green
wood, second Indiana district;
Luther D. Smith, st. Louis; Francis
H. Gavisk, Indianapolis; D. Frank
Culbertson, Vincennes; Lee Burns.
Indianapolis; L. M O'Bannon, Cory
don, and G. j. Richards, Terre
Haute.
Fight to Continue
Schortemeier announced immedi-
ately after the decision that the
fight for limestone would not be
dropped. He said he hoped that
Andrew Mellon, secretary of the
treasury, whose signature is required
on the contract before work can
begin, will not overlook the oppor-
tunity to save money by the use of
limestone. THE commission threw
away his money, but we hope the
secretary of the treasury will be in
tereSted in saving the public inter-
est" Schortemeier said.
Members of the commission at
tackled limestone representatives for
their tactics in seeking use of Their
product. A letter from Joseph w
Kimmell, mayor of Vincennes, as
Surred the commission the citizens
of that city have confidence in the
commission that they will not be in
fluenced by selfish interests and
particularly by material men who
have something to SELL"

A moaning, long whistle.
Dee, her head in her hands on

Tony was smoking another

her loveliness. He did not hear
the whistle.

Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

In selecting a summer camp
for your children, inquire into
! the sewerage system, and
method of garbage and refuse
disposal. The following STAN
dardS were recommended sew
eral years ago by a writer
for the Journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association:
Sewerage System, Garbage
and Refuse Disposal:
"(a) Choice of a System.
81. Water Carriage. Septic
tank followed by intermittent
filtration or irrigation. Grade A.
Use Deep Pits
SO, When running water is
not available, use deep lined
pits with watertight concrete
and covered twice daily with
dry earth in order not to in
terfere with normal biologic
action. Locate pits to leeward
and distant from water supply.
If flies are not kept away,
treat daily with crude petro-
leum. Ultimately burn out pit
against surface washingS and
cave-in. Grade B.
SO. 1ncineration. Use of Hors-
fall destructor providing car
riage through camp properly
supervised. Grade c.
(b) Toilets: Floors clean, of
concrete. Wall about urinals
and toilets of waterproof mate
rial (e. g., slate). Freedom from
odors. Bowls, troughs and seats
secured daily. Room properly
screened. Automatic flushing
where water carriage exists.
Free use of insecticide (borax
or sodium fluoride). Screen all
outlets. Toilet paper only to
be used. In case of pits, use
of automatic closing seat COW
ers; pit to be dark and fly
proof, with urinals emptying at
an angle and screened. Daily
treatment with petroleum.
"(c) Garbage and Refuse:
Incineration (type such as
multiple shelf incinerator of
williamson
The Food Supply
We have discussed the loca-
tion and terrain of the camp,
the water supply, the sewerage
and garbage, systems. The
fourth important question is
the food supply.
The food supply should be
ample, of good quality and va
riety.> We have received many
letters from parents complain
ing that children have come
home from some of these
camps in a half-starved condi-
tion. In some camps there are
supervisors who are diet fad
dists: with elaborate and erro-
neous theories they work on the
children'S minds and direct the
menus. There should be milk,
eggs, fresh butter, bread-both
brown and white-meat, fresh
fruits, vegetables and desserts
sufficient to supply enough pro-
tein, fat, carbohydrates. vita
minis and inorganic salts for
healthy, young, active bodies.

We've all smiled over the un-
conscious humoriSt who tells in

what he must abstain from, etc.
He ~enjoyS" it much more than

joy the best of health but these

Of their miseries. You know
them. you've had plenty of ex-
ercisce ducking down side
streets to escape them. Being
miserable for no good reason is
to go out ones way to court
disaster.
AS a highly successful practi-
toner has said, life is a boom
erang. the thoughts, deeds,
words you put into it come sail
ing back to you, You don't
know why, but they do. If you
think failure, you get back fail
ure; if your thoughts and deeds
are mean, uncharitable, vicious,
these things are returned to you
with interest. AS the greatest
of teachers has said: What
soever a man soweth that shall
he also reap"
A Hard Task
It's desperately hard to think
success when you see about
you so many signs of distress.
But if you hold fast to the
thought of success, it will come
to you more quickly than if
you persist in, holding the
thought of failure. The world
is full of shining illustrations
Of this.
Take the case of Mark Twain,
for instance. Our popular phil
osopher and humorist lost his
entire fortune in a publishing
venture and at an age when be-
ginnings are hard. Did he hold
everyone up with a tale of his
miSfortunes? He did not. He
buckled down to work and
wrote more and more books.
Again he went to the top at
a time of life when most peo-
pie would have huddled in a
corner and turned their
thoughts to past greatness.
A Hardy Soul
Bernhardt continued to play
after her leg had to be ampu-
tated, and it would have been
a hardy soul who offered her
sympathy. The writer met her
at a reception at Washington,
not long after that amputa-
ton. An unconquerable some
thing about her made her

Manners
Are Correct
By Mrs. C. Beeckman
No, Sir! The Rule Hasn't
Changed

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A few of us have had quite
a warm argument as to whether
it is proper or improper to eat
chicken without a fork. That
is, is it proper to cat it hold
ing it in your hands o. fingers.
If it is not proper, why do they
serve a chicken leg with a
wrapping of paper, as though it
were to be eaten with the
fingers? Has the rule changed
lately, that is, in the last year.
JOHN.
No, sir, the rule hasn't
changed a bit. Careful eaters
never take in their fingers
food that can be eaten with
a fork or with a knife and fork.
And the reason iS-obvious,
if you have watched a person
opposite you eating a chicken
bone or anything else messy,
in the fingers.
The fact that there is a
paper collar on the leg of the
chicken or on a chop has moth
ing to do with a suggestion
that we hold either by the
paper collar. The collar is
sometimes placed on the piece
Of chicken or en- the chop to
conceal the end of the bone.

life. Many others. But he
hadn't felt like this about them.
He had liked them, some of
them, awfully well. Kid af-
