IndividuaIiSm Survives

VOU probably think I have
L started out to pan sport,
especially as Illustrated by the fistic
art, or take fling at those hard
working scribes who do such an ex-
cellent job in it's behalf.
Well, that is not my intention.
Even if I were not interested in
sport, which I am, hardly could
fail to recognize the important part
it plays in life. or the utter abb
surdity of trying to eliminate it.
Love of sport is normal, chiefly
because sport is the one field in
which mass production cannot be
substituted for individualism.
If you can make one automobile,
you can build a factory and make
100000 like it, but you can't do
that with champion prizefighter,
wrestler, or tennis player.

What causes the sun to move
north in the summer and south in
the winter?
This is due to the fact that the
axis Of the earth is not perpendic-
ular to the plane of its orbit around
the sun, but is inclined to the plane
of its orbit at an angle of about
% degrees.

What's the Scorer

NTE need to study sport more
w especially from the standpoint
Of its hold on people. Why do they
like it? Why do they take so much
more interest in it than in some
serious activities?
Why does banker run out of
his office every five minutes to see
what the baseball score is? Why
can the average boy make a much
better showing in naming the play
ers on every team in the big leagues
than in naming the Presidents of
the United States?
IT psychology means anything,
this phase Of our life is worth much
more attention than it has received.

A Wage Cut Limit

Bankers having asked for more wage cuts, now
are resorting TO strange doctrines to explain their
failure to improve the economic situation of the
country
The October letter of the National City Bank of
New York says: What has made wage cuts finally
necessary Is the great decline in the prices of agri
cultural and mineral products which draStcally
reduced the buying power of those who produce them
and made it impossible for them to purchase products

Wilson and others like him may
criticise the American Legion and
call DICTIONARIES staggering drunks
who disgraced the uniform because
of the stand they took on prohibit
ton, but to my idea if the legion
sees something wrong with our
country, and feels like it is slipping
from the way in which it should go,
nobody has any better right to
speak out than these boys who
so CALAMITY fought for it.
These same critics were mighty
glad to send these boys across the
seas to stand between them and the
ravishing Hun, but since they have
come home, they must stand with
locks on their mouths while the
country they saved is being raided
by an army of fanatics, to keep
from being called all kinds of
names.
If it stands true that these
soldier boys now are bunch of
staggering DRINKS who have dis

says, then right in the face of
eleven years of prohibition, I want
to ask the doctor to point out
where any of prohibitions accom-
come in.

reaching peak in the winter
months which has not been attained
since the early days of radio broad
casting.
That is the prediction Of DR.. Har-
Ian T. Stetson, director Of the Per-
kins observatory of Ohio Wesleyan
university, Delaware, o.
DR.. Stetson, who is one Of the ma
tons well known astronomers, bases
his opinion upon a study of sun
spots.
He points out that radio reception
was 400 per cent better in Septem-
Der of this year than it was in
March. Radio reception, he says,
has been improving steadily since
last March and at the same time
the number of spots on the sun has
been declining.
He says that there were so per
cent less sun spots in September
than March.
The relation between sun spots
and radio reception was worked out
a number of years ago by Stetson
and DR.. Greenleaf w. Pickard of
the wireless Speciality Co. of Bos-
ton, famous pioneer radio inventor.
Stetson and Pickard made a care
ful study Of the strength of radio
reception night after night.
They compared these figures with
the sunspot figures and discovered
that as sun spots increased, radio
reception grew worse. AS the spots
decreased, reception grew better.

Butler Keyed to High Pitch
for Game Today With
Formidable Foe.

Marquettes Golden Avalanche
may be world beater to its Wis
consin hackers, but it's just another
football team to Butler-one which
the Blue think they can beat.
When Harry Bells Bulldogs take
the chalk marks against the Hill
topperS at Butler bowl today at 2
p. m, it will be fighting eleven,
confident of springing a major up
set, despite Marquette's great record
of but one loss in three campaigns.
A powerful line and half dozen
hard running and accurate passing
backs will carry the hopes of Frank
Murray's Milwaukee FASTENERS.
Although hampered by injuries,
Johnny Chg Train) Sisk, ace of
the Marquette running attack,
probably will see action today.
Eugene (Tufy) Ronzani, husky
youth who hammers the line hard
and flashes brilliantly in the open
spaces, is another Hilltopper who
will get much attention from
Butler.
Captain Kenny Booz, triple
threat leader of Buffers offense,
will get the big test of his career
in Blue moleskins in today's game.
His work this year has been sensa-
tional, and Bulldog victory hopes
today rest on him.

By United Press
PRINCETON, Ind, Nov. IA
Additional state witnesses were
called today in the trial of Thomas
Morton, charged with conspiracy in
mine bombings at Somerville.
Virgil May, Sullivan, former coal
miner, was the first witness called,
after the state made it's opening
statement and the defense waived
its opportunity for a statement.
May testified that Harmon KEEL
ley, board member of the United
Mine Workers of America, who is
also under indictment, sent Nor
ton to see him in regard to a plan
to bomb Somervi1le mine No. 2.
May said Morton told him he would
be paid 1925 if he assisted.
When he declined to aid, MAY
said, he was threatened with death
if he revealed the others plans.
He quoted Kelley as saying, "You
know, I'm a dynamite man and
Morton is a prizefghter."
Morton is one of ten men to be
tried on conspiracy charges result
ing from three Somerville bombings.

MARION. Ind, Nov. 14.-Delayed
by the omission of technicality in
the I preparation of an indictment,
the Grant county grand jury was
unable to present its final report to
Circuit Judge o. D. Clawson when
it adjourned Friday night, and will
hand it to the court this morning.
Foreman Elmer E. Gowing said.
Grand jurors spent eighty minutes
Friday afternoon interrogating At
torney-G General James M. Ogden up
on the basis for his charge that
Marion is "seething in corruption"
On reliable authority it later was
stated that Ogden had no evidence
to show the jury except a brief case
damned with letters, most of which
carried no signatures.
Prosecuting Attorney Harley F.
Hardin, whose office has been under
investigation at the instance of the
encouragement, was excluded from
the grand jury room during the last
twenty minutes Of the jury's
questioning of Ogden. What trans
pired could not bcalearned.

RENO LOTTERY
NIpPED IN RAID
Thousands of Tickets Seized
in SWoop by Police.

Smashing the alleged Reno" lot
tery after several recent unSuccess-
full attempts to halt its operations,
police today held four men and had
confiscated several thousand lottery
tickets and other paraphernalia.
Police raided the headquarters of
the alleged gaming outfit at 324

rancy and improper parking; Ray
Lookebill, $50 North Capitol avenue,

rested Denton on the slot machine
count.
Going to the North Capitol av-
enue address, officers said Locke
bill was in possession of thousands
of tickets and winners lists. In

'STRIKEOUT' OF OGDEN IS
SEEN IN MARION PROBE

The grand jury's report is ex-
pected to contain nothing of
startling nature. There was moth
ing to indicate that Prosecutor Har-
din would be indicted. Some minor
true bills are expected, however.
AS he left the grand jury room,
Ogden said he had been hampered
in his fight to indict Grant county
public officials by the fact that Cir
cult Judge Clawson limited the pow
ers Of Deputy Attorney General
George Hufsmith and Attorney E.
H. graves, special prosecutors.
Had his special prosecutors been
accorded full power to investigate,
Ogden asserted, there would have
been about 1900 per cent more
chance for some indictments"
The encouragement insisted that
he would get an indictment even
tually."
No foundation could be found for
the rumor that a new grand jury
would be sworn in Monday for the
November term, so that Ogden's
representatives could continue their
probe.
