Editor Times-The action of the
recent special session of the Indi-
ana legislature has been one of
considerable Speculation-and sur
priSe-until we reflect upon a rather
common disposition to take care of
oneself whatever else we do. A
large cut in Salaries-aL over 81 200
following the adroit evasion of a
per diem cut, which would have in
cluded in its operations the sym
pathy and kinship of representa-
tives of the people in the world
wide need and share in the sacri-
fees of the people!
Should it penetrate the active in
telligence of so-called leaders of the
populations of the earth that sup
posed followers are very impress
Sionable to example, in fact, are
quite docilely sheeplike, it might
not seem strange to conclude that
instances of Self1shness and ex-
elusive self care would hardly be
effective instruments in promoting
a generous state of civilized ex-
iStence.

Editor Times-When the papers
announced that the pari-mutuel
betting bill would die by the pocket
Veto route, and our dear Governor
left the statement in which he said,
Il am opposed to educating our
children with gangland money"
why, Mr.. Editor, I began to veil
hurrah, maybe four or five times,
and then all at once 1 remembered
that Illinois and Kentucky are
right up against us, so to speak.
So I got mad at him for allow
ing them to be that close to us,
communicating our citizens, and un-
less he moves them away from us
and substitutes Kansas and North
Dakota, SO our people can't go into
those bad, bad states so often, I
am to vote the Democratic ticket
this fall. S. r. AKIN.
Editor Times-May I express to
you my desire that we have such
a radio broadcasting station in our
city as is described by Rev. Morris
H. Coers of the Thirty First Street
Baptist church? A Golden Rule
station!
I have been listening to Mr..
Coer's messages every Sunday after
noon that he broadcast and en-
foyed them very much. Surely our
city will be better off to have God
exalted more in our listeners ears.
Every convenience we have today
is traced back to God, who made
the heaven and the earth and also
created man.
Trusting and praying that per-
nit will be given station WED and
may Gods work be carried on or
derby and reverently, am sincerely,
NORVILLA REYNOLDS.
Editor Times-I wish to thank
you for the interest you have shown
in the Thirty-first Street Baptist
church and the radio station which
our pastor has worked SO hard to
get.
He is very deserving and I am
eager for him to succeed in this
venture, as well as all others that
are spiritual
We take The Times and like it so
well we would not, if we could help
it, do without it.

Study Revealed Truth

4 STRONOMERS made little
IA progress until they abandoned
the idea that argument would give
them light. AS long as they con-
tented themselves with disputation,
with merely asserting that such or
such a theory was right, they
learned nothing of value.
Only when they quit talking to
one another and got down to quiet,
purposeful study did they begin to
discover the truth. The same thing
is true of medicine, chemistry and
mechanics.
Wherever humanity has made real
progress, it has been led by students,
by men and women who had a
nobler object than to steal each
others thunder, or get each others
job.
We need the same spirit in poll
tics, business and the administration
OF justice, need to realize that trial
by combat, whether physical or
mental, proves nothing.

Sun Spot Observation May

Weather Forecasting.
INCREASING attention is being
l. given by many scientists to a
study of the sun, and particularly
of sun spots, in the hope that it
will lead to method of long-range
weather forecasting.
Among pioneers in this field of
study is DR.. G. G.. Abbot, secretary
Of the Smithsonian institution.
The Smithsonian institution main
tains three obServatories at which
daily measurements are made of the
total radiation or energy output of
| the sun. These observatorieS are
located at Washington, D. c.; Table
Mountain, Cal, and Montezuma,
Chile.
A fourth station at Mt. Brukka-
roS, South Africa, was occupied for
five years, but has been abandoned
because of difficulties caused by
haze and high winds.
Plans are under way to relocate
this observatory in Asia. Studies

While Mt. Sinai usually is &C
cepted as the one which Moses as
cended, the biblical account is
rather vague and many scholars
think that Mt. St. Catherine is the
one indicated by the biblical ac-
count.
DR.. Abbot and his associates are
attempting to work out a method of
forecaSting weather based on varia-
tionS in the amount of heat ra-
dated daily by the sun.
Other scientists are attempting to
work out a method of forecasting
weather based on variations in the

Science Aids PROGRESS

DURING the last two centuries,
II science has wrought tremend-
Gus revolution in human affairs, has
persuaded people to work differently,
live differently, and think diff
ferently.
The best part of it is that science
has accomplished all this without
precipitating war, or causing even a
major disturbance.
Why can't we take the same calm
view of study and initiative in
politics that we do in chemistry, or
transportation? Why can't we give
our best minds opportunity to
function?
Why can't we make experiments
on small scale and let the result
speak for itself?

Then she lost her job.
For time the grandparents cared for the boys
but money became scarcer. There were too MANY

the mother, with no work, could not support even
herself
1t was a friends advice that sent her to the pro-

will care for her children.

than to send her to JAIL surely the challenge can not

Archaic and cumbersome legal machinery should
not be allowed to stand in the way.
Prison walls not the answer for this problem
Unemployment insurance, old age pensions, enlght-

are helpless-these point the way out.

Editor Times-At this time when
we are in dire need we are imposed
upon by the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company. Our rates on a private
line is $2.75. Residence phones
have not come down one cent; in
fact, they are trying to make peo-
pie pay storage fees for their own
negligence in not taking phones out
when called on to do so.
Help has been cut and service is
not first-claSS as it should be. Our
business phones are $3.50 or pay
station, which is more graft for the
company. Why don't some of our
officials take this matter up?
Our city building and courthouse
have twenty to twenty-five phones.
This would be great saving if the
prices were made at a reasonable
amount, not sky-high, as at present.
Two dollars is plenty for a private
line phone in a residence and $3.50
is plenty for business houses.
Each and every one of us would
like to have the telephone service
we are entitled to, and not have
fines imposed on us when we can
not pay promptly as a half-second
to turn a switch is not worth so
cents, and the individual is not paid
in this measure.
When corporations of this kind do
not treat men as dirt, then we will
all be better off. But if corpora
tons we're forced to decency, pres
ent conditions would not exist.

Radiation Not Constant

DR. SETH B. NICHOLSON, one
- of the experts of the Mt. Will
son observatory, recently discussed
Sun Spots and the Weather at a
meeting of the Astronomical Socie-
ty of the Pacific.
"a comparatively casual study of
the sun is sufficient to demonstrate
that its radiation is not constant
DR.. Nicholson says. Examined
with telescope, its surface is found
to have a notified appearance, ow-
ing to small variations in tempera-
ture over areas a few hundred
square miles in extent. These fine
details are called granulations.
Much larger dark areas known as
sun spots usually are also visible, in
which the temperature of the radi-
ating surface is hundreds of de-
grees less than that of the sur
rounding regions.
Accompanying the sun spots are
bright areas, called faculae, where
the radiative temperature is higher
than the normal.
1.-The granulations, spots and
faculae are continually changing as
a result, we may safely assume that
the integrated radiation is not con-
slant"
Sun spots appear and disappear
on the suns surface with an aver
age life of but a week or two, al
though the largest may remain visi-
BILE for weeks or even months.
Since the period of solar rota-
ton relative to the earth is nearly
one month, the monthly mean num-
Der of spots observed daily gives
an index Of the spottedness over
the whole solar surface.
THE spottedness of the sun varies
in a somewhat irregular fashion
with fundamental period Of a lit
tie over eleven years.

Into the cave they went. Dudley's caution made her smile. He flashed the light into every crevice and along the ceiling and walked with wary tread. Dona fell into his mood and moved soundlessly after him.
 They entered the main room and Dudley stood flashing his light all around the walls. Pretty nice place for a cave man," he said finally.
 The cave was about as it had been when Dona had first seen it. The cooking things were lying in a neat row beside the fireplace and the blankets were still on the bed. Dona imagined them to be just as she had tossed them back on the morning when she had awakened as Stan Balls prisoner.
 Dudley began poking around the flood and walls. Dona crossed to the stone bunk and sat down. For a little while her eyes followed the circle of light from the fiashlight. Then she gave herself up to a queer feeling of desolation. The place seemed to breathe the pres ence of Stan Ball. Dona wished she had not come. All the old long ing with its wild and gustly fiurries of emotion swelled up in her heart.
 Dudley was examining the ground carefully. He strengthened suddenly and called to her. "Here Is where Swergin stood when he got the drop on Ball."
 "Right there." Dona agreed ab- sently.
 His hobnails cut right into the floor of the cave," Dudley went on.
 His fiashlight continued to bob along and halted before the fire- place. Dona ceased to watch, los

WOMAN SEEKS PARENTS
 AFTER 60 YEAR SEPARATION

Chicago GU. PA "very fair baby girl with blue eyes" is seek ing her parents, from whom she was separated more than 60 years ago during the great Chicago fire of 1871.
 Mrs Louis Haring of Rochester, N. YA has appealed to Chicago police to help her find her father and mother, if they still are liv- ing. Separated from them when she was but few weeks old. they would remember her only as a very fair baby with blue eyes, she wrote authorities.
 She was picked up, she believes, in the street during the panic which followed the fire. The couple who rescued her and raised her as their own child were William and Martha Large, who moved to Rochester shortly after ward. They never would tell her the name of her parents but ad- mitted they were good people," Mrs. Large is dead, and was sepa- rated fromh her husband many years ago.

 OF HER PLANS
 When Phil had gone and Joan was alone once more she came back to the fire and sat quietly for a little while.
 "Tomorrow!" she said at last. "I'm crazy! can't marry him to- morrow or next week or the next! have a tea room on my hands. And there's Sally. There isn't any, one else to look after her. Unless Sue does and that wouldn't be fair. She and Jack shouldn't be bur- dened with her."
 She sat still watching the flames go down, not replenishing the fire.
 She was remembering the sor- did manner in which Sally Bradley had conducted her romance with Hal Prichard, who had recently been divorced by one wife, @ pro- cedure which Sally had supposed left him free. He hadn't been free, though. There was another mar riage and no divorce. So when he had been arrested as an accomplice in holdup the other charge had been brought against him, too. SAl- ly was automatically free. But she dispised him so. She hated him forithe humiliation of the few days when they had taken refuge in q lodge that belonged to Dale Court ney, her sister Ruth's husband. She hated him for the added torture of the day when Jimmy Halden, shot by some men who were laying for Jack, had been brought to the cab in, and her whole world had discov- cred she was married to Hal Prich- ard.
 Jimmy was recuperating, still at the lodge. Jack had exposed tho trickery of the men who were try ing to make him rob his own fath- er's safe of some legal secrets.
 Sally was left alone. She had been popular, lovely desirable, Now her own family ignored her.
 "I'll wait a week." Joan told the empty room. But she smiled as she said it. The room didn't seem lonely. Phil's voice was there. The laughter of his eyes. the tenderness of his voice.
 "Joan, you walk as though you are happy" Sally called to her as she passed her door.

CROCHET IN VICTORIAN MANNER

Victorian charm is the keynote of this winters fashions as evi- denced by this smart little bed jacket with crocheted edge. It is easily made.
 You will need s-4 yard of fiat crepe, ball No. 30 Clarke's O. N. T. (125 yard ball) or J. & P. Coats (150 yard balD mercerized crochet cotton. Milward's steel crochet hook No. 8.
 The bed jacket is cut in two straight pieces 19 1-2 by 27 inches with the selvedges running the long way. These can be used for the bottoms and so avoid extra hems. On the other three edges of both pieces haste hems as narrow as possible. The first row of crochet will hold them in place.
 First Row: Working right
 into the material over the
 narrow hem, make a row of
 1 sc and oh 1, around the
 three sides.
 Second Row: oh 8, turn

 When the edging has been fin- ished, lay the two pieces with the wrong sides together and with the se]vedges even. Along what is to be the top of the bed jacket, meas ure out 6 inches from either side of the center and join the lace with a needle and thread.
 This should make an opening large enough to slip on over the head. Then join the lace at both ends of the top edges.
