Extracts From PreSchoOl Leaflet.
1.-THE Preschooi Association is unit
of the state branch of the National
Congress of Parents and Teachers, be-
longing to the state and National Con-
gsess, exactly as the grade school and
high school parent-teacher associa-
ton.
"This association has been planned
for the parents of children under six
years of age. During this period, from
birth to six years, the foundation Is
laid for all the years which are to
follow. Physical examinations at the
time of school entrance reavel that
many deficiencies could have been
remedied by earlier attention, and
many more could have been entirely
avoided by more intelligent care from
birth.
ITO achieve worthwhile results,
child guidance must begin not only
with the young child, but must con-
Germ itself with prenatal conditions as
well. This means that parents must
be snformed upon all matters which
concern the well being of children
during infancy and early childhood
and that parenthood should be con-
sidcred as the greatest professional Of
all.
1.-The information that mothers give
and receive in study groups where the
many vital problems Of young chill
dren are described is unending. The
preschool association is vitality con-
cerned with the right kind of heredity
and environment for every child. A
study Of child problems reveals that in
order to attain a better balanced
childhood we must first have the
background of a we'll trained parent
hood.
1.-THE children of today are. the citi-
zens Of tomorrow, and must be trained
to meet that responsibility. Whatever
we want for our state and our people
not many years hence, we must lay
the foundation for now, through the
medium that can reach every cnld
and every mother-the medium of the
preschool association"

DAIRY men ACT
TO END PRICE
CUTTING WAR
Disastrous Competition viii
Be Halted, County
AGENT Declares.

Organization and cooperation of
Marion county milk producers and
distributors to stabilize the mar
ket, practically wrecked by a price
war, will be accomplished soon.
This assertion is made by County
Agent G. o. Henry in his monthly
narrative report released today.
Competition has caused dis
tributors to flood the county with
cheap milk in cutting prices to gain
business, according to Henry. This
competition will be lessened."
Meeting Is Called
Negotiations intended TO result In
mutual advantages to all factions in
tne industry were to be discussed at
a meeting today Of a joint commit
Tee representing the Indianapolis
Dairy Producers Exchange, distrib-
uters, milk pool board, county farm
bureau presidents and county agents.
Entrance of many small produ-
GERS into the market during the
price war supplied more milk than
Inc Indianapolis market possibly
could absorb" Henry said.
This price war has not been
easy on producers; his costs have
not been reduced while his profits
nave approached the vanishing
point" according to Henry.
Distributors QUIT Business
Distributors operating in the
county have decreased from 40 to
Il during the last year, practically
so per cent.
Acuteness Of conditions, Henry
states, has led distributors and pro-
ducers alike to see the necessity of
immediate organization and com
plete cooperation.
Several meetings, with encourage
ing results, have been held to bring
the warning factions together.

Reminder of Card Party at St Francis Xavier Par-
 ish Hall
TOMORROW NIGHT

As a reminder of the big card party to be held in Xaverian hall tomorrow night, the fife and drum corps of St Francis Xavier parish paraded through the streets of Washington Hill last night discours- ing airs in charming manner.
 The card party will be big event. It is expected to settle once for all tile dispute question of champion ship t45' players of Waterbury, but whether it will or not will not be known until after the contest is over and probably not even then. Card players have @ way of doubting de- cisions of judges with the result that frequently nothing is decided defin- itely. However, that may be, it is certain that great preparation Is be- ing made for the meeting.
 The women will be out in full force, too. and will try their hand at bridge, and if one can believe what he hears they are likely to have as much rivalry for first place as the men. Anyway. it will be big night.

AMERICA AS SEEN
 THROUGH FRENCH
 EYES, EXPOUNDED
Told 10 International Cham
 Der of Commerce Mem= bers-Business and PrO-
 duction of Wealth Al- most a Religion

washington, May 6 - (UPJ-- America as a land where business and production of wealth is almost d religion, where even the churches breach a doctrine of cooperation in economic achievement. is presented in an interesting study by the we'll known French economist, Professor Andre Siegfried, distributed at the International chamber of commerce convention here.
 Seen through French eyes, the American is highly optimistic in- dividual on the surface with touch of fear and anxiety underneath, who is interested primarily in his job and believes that success awaits every undertaking" E
 He likes. mass entertainment and likes to follow mass styles, which makes him an excellent unit in a mass production era. M
 "The churches themselves-es- pecially the Protestant church, but even the Catholic church-direct their activity toward the rame end, persuaded as they are that the Christian serves God by cooperating in economic achievement" Siegfried said
 "Elsewhere religion is not always allied to industry: in America the religious, spirit, conceived as con- stant action for the greater good of man and at the same time the great CT glory of God, Is practically never in contradiction with the action of acquisitive achievement, that. pre- sents itself every day to man in the new world.
 There exists in the United States an almost religious faith in produc- tion."
 Tt is natural that industry should absorb the best that is in man in the United States" Siegfried said. Politics naturally plays second fid- dle. Elsewhere the individual. dis couraged in advance, may be tempt ed to believe that it is easier to share existing wealth then to create new wealth. s
 Here 1t is just the opposite. It Is or appears to be easier to acquire wealth than to make Q revolutions, Emphasis, in America, is laid not on distribution but on production of wealth. Business reigns supreme
 "Advertising and marketing man. uals read in the United States re- mind one in their unvarnished sim plicity of the advice given to princes by Machiavelli. who also was by no means 'Machiavellian,' but merely matter of fact" the French profess sor commented.
 Siegfried pictures American youth unquestioning of the American sys- tenn, going to college in droves with the principal aim the acquisition of practical knowledge that will. as it were, equip him for life" but with no attempt at "intellectual culture" :"
 "The idea of a university of oppo- sition-such as one sees elsewhere where revolutions are fomented or simply where intellectual currents of protest are cultivated. is almost inconceivable in the United States to-day" he said.

Loyal Citizens Rise To Strangle Strike
 Riots In Kentucky
Many Lives Have Already Been Sacri-
 feed in That Strife Ridden State, 43 With Civil War Threatened

Harlan, Ky, May 6.-(UP)-Loyal miners. citizens, and sheriff's depu- !ties combined forces to-day to put down open warfare which already has taken a toll of five lives and to drive from this strife-torn commun- |ity rowing bands of so-called left wing union workers
 -Four men met death and two |others were wounded seriously if 1.-the latest outbreak in Evarts, 10 miles from here, when mob of 100 linen ambushed three automobile loads of sheriff's deputies and resi- ldents yesterday. A second outbreak later in the day resulted in the at- Hackers being put to flight. No one was injured.
 The dead were James Daniels, 39. land Otto Lee, both deputy sheriffs;
 Howard Jones, 25,. a store clerk, and |Carl Richmond, one of the ambush ing party. Shepheard Purciful, a mine guard, suffered wounds from which he IS lnot expected to recover. He was Ishot seven times. Estes Cox, an Iother mine guard, was severely wounded also.
 Five other persons met death in lthe same region yesterday, three III Ia slate fall in a. mine and two in Q shooting affray, which brought the total deaths to 12 over period of lten days of fighting and disorders. Sheriff John Henry Blair. took stern measures to bring peace to this vicinity. He has deputized about 50 citizens, armed them and lordered >them to shootsto Kill in the leyent their lives are endangered. He lhas scorned all suggestions that the lstate militia be called in to aid his forces, declaring he will stop the outbreaks by armed force.
 Deputy sheriffs and several citi- zens were en route from the Big
 Black Mountain Coal company mines, at Evart, where a similar outbreak occurred ten days ago, when they were fired upon by sev- eral men ambushed behind piles of railroad ties at a grade crossing. The men leaped from the automo- piles and prepared to advance on their attackers. Daniels, who has been detailed to the Black. Noun tain mines during the recent disor- ders, carried a machine gun. He was holding it ready to fire when a burst of rifle shot from behind the |ties cut him down in his tracks.
 Deputy Dawn grabbed the machine gun from Daniels hand and sprayed |the ties with bullets. A man. identi- fled as Carl Richmond, was killed
