yelling are people who don't go any,

There never was as much drink

Editor Times-In your Questions
and Answers" column of March %
you explained the properties of
Selenium. May take the liberty of
making few corrections.
Selenium, used for its light
sensitive factors, always is a con-
ductor, regardless of light intensity.
Selenium, having been annealed
has a very high resistance which
changes as the light intensity varies.
The selenium is spread very thinly
on a insulator, which is not affected
by moisture, then two lengths of
platinum wire are wound around
the inSulator coming in contact with
the Selenium and forming the two
leads.
When exposed to light, it lowers
lfG resistance oil v,o@e&
with some lag. When it is used to
operate machinery, some sort of
sensitive relay must be used, as the
change in current flow from dark
to bright light is but few thou
sandths of an ampere.

Editor TineS-I have lived in In
dianapolis all my life, and I have
been Times reader ever since the
paper began its existence, and don't
regret it at all.
I sometimes wonder If we have a
Governor in name only. What has
this man done to better conditions
In Indiana? It seems that the In
dianapolis Power and Light Com
pany, the gas company and the In
dianapolis Water Company really
are running this city and state.
We have mayor, too Is that
news? Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Leslie
should both take a nice trip and
forget to come back. I am almost
sure the people in general would not
miss either one very much. Thank
God we soon win have another
chance to voice our opinion of
them, but there can be lot of SUI
fering before that time comes.

are lot Of things that the tax
payer might investigate, but it
surely isn't the guild.
ANOTHER T. Der.
Editor Times-I would like to ask,
Is Mr.. H. K. Cuthbertson a state
official, drawing a big salary from
the taxpayers of Indiana, or an
agent of the utility corporations? If
he holds his position by the appoint
ment by our Governor, he should be
fired instantly.
notice in his last outburst
against Mr.. McNutt, he uses con-
siderable space in writing quite a
sermon about God, and the Divine
Masters relations to the actions of
men. Possibly Mr.. Cuthbertson has
some knowledge of divine equip
ment, but has he made it manifest
in his actions as an administrator
of justice between the common
wealth of Indiana and the utility
corporations?
The very first official act of our
next Governor of Indiana should be
a very radical change in the person
mel of the public service commission.
Will Mr.. Cuthbertson offer a single
instance where the commission has
shown any regard for the taxpayers
of Indiana in their relations with
the utilities corporations?
JOHN ROBBINS.
Editor Times-I notice that a
taxpayer said our police chief was
no fortune teller. That probably is
true, but what is wrong with his
sight when bootlegging is run wide
open like it is in the 500 block on
West Washington street? Some
thing is wrong some place. They
don't even try to hide what they
are doing from the police. Makes
a taxpayer wonder what he is pay
ing taxes for. Half the time you
can't walk for the DRINKS and I am
afraid that more than five would
lose their jobs If the right people
got behind the wheel and investi-
gated. TAXPAYER.
Editor Times-I would like to say
a few words in answer to Charles E.
Town of Logansport. I have lived
in England, Ireland, Scotland, and
Wales. The breweries and dis
tilleries in those countries employ
more than one million men. Now
suppose they should enact a pro-
hibition law and forbid any in
toxicating liquors to be made, what
would be the consequence?
There would be one million more
added to the unemployed. 1t is a
well-known fact that when the
eighteenth amendment became a
law, five million men lost their jobs.
1t is supposed that there are ten
million private breweries and dis
tilleries in the United States. There
would be no need for sales tax If
the government was getting a
revenue from the beer and whisky
that is being made.
The liquor industry in the United
States was one of the greatest. It
brought into the United States
treasury more money than anything
else and now liquor is being made
by two-thirds Of the people without
any revenue at all. I think it would
be the best plan to repeal the pro-
hibition law and let the breweries
and distilleries open and put all the
unemployed to work.
1t would cause other industries to
open. If the people could work,
they could buy. If five million men
went back to work. they could buy
five million suits. shirts, shoes. etc.

MORE than 100000 pounds
4VA of fresh, frozen and smoked
fish were produced in the United
States in 1880. 1t is estimated that
2OOO00,0O0 pounds of raw fish were
necessary for preparation of these
products.
A report before the American
Public Health Association en-
phasizes the fact that fish 'and
shellfish have not occupied impor-
tant places in the American diet,
although forsome peoples and races
they are the fundamental dietary
substance.
In this country, fish usually is
used on days that are meatless be-
cause of religious observance, and
shellfsh, such as oysters, clans,
