RdIstOn Monument Fund
Stays for Years in Bank

dianapolis in 1907, Claypool and
Martindale, two of the contributors
to the fund, went to the city park
board and offered the money to the
city if it would add $675 for erection
OF statue to RalSton.
1t was suggested that the statue
be placed in University Square. The
squares name had been a matter
of contest among early settlers, for
they always thought it should have
been called Ralston park.
Model Was Rejected
Claypool and Martindale had a
model for a statue made by Rudolph
Schwartz, one of the Sculptors who
worked on the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument.
The model was criticised because
its general dress was not in keeping
with the mode of Ralston'S day. The
park board declined the 1925 gift,
on the ground that the face was
not a good likeness of Ralston.
The park board suggested, as an
alternative, Dunn's history says, a
tablet of bronze with memorial
fountain honoring Ralstons plat
ting of the city to resemble Wash
ington, D. c.
The fountain never was built.
Fund Left Stationary
Failure to place the fund out on
interest kept it from multiplying,
for the original 1925 would be
S4,129 in 1888, compounded semi
annually at per cent.
In 1890 banks did not have trust
departments and many funds &C
cepted in this manner were for the
major part recorded on the cuff"
or in the note book Of the execu-
tives of banks.
Court action would be necessary
to release the money, it is said.

DEBT FOE MAY
HEAD MISSION
Chamberlain Considered as
Chief of British Group
in u. S. Conference.
BY FREDERICK KUN
United Press staff Correspondent

LONDON, June Is. - Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, and in the past bitter
opponent of the war debt payments
to the United States, is being con-
Sidered as the head of debt re-
vision mission to be sent to Wash
ington soon, the United Press
learned today.
The treasury confirmed reports
that the $lO,OO0,OOO silver payment
on the war debt annuity due today
would be shipped to New York
shortly. The treasury is negotiating
for a ship and expected to complete
transport arrangements today.
Chamberlain's appointment de-
ponds upon whether he will be &C
ceptable to the United States gov
eminent If Washington prefers
the British delegation to be led by a
treasury expert the choice probably
will be Sir Frederick Leith-Ross,
economic adviser to the government.

Miss HOLSTER prefers to talk of
the scientific side of her work
rather than the adventuresome
side. Charting the evolution of
fish by their skeletons, studying
the mysteries of life as it has
been lived these millions of years

such things are the salt of her
life.
1T is an adventure to study the

Among her scientific achieve
ments was the perfection of an
old German formula by which
the body of a fish is made trans
parent and the skeleton stained
bright red. This allows study
OF the skeleton without dissection.
In the laboratory at the Zoo
logical park there are 5000 speci-
mems of deep water and shallow

pared in this way during the last

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Amputated Arm
Any truth In the belief that an am.
putated arm or leg will pain q person
unless 1t Is burned or carefully
Strengthened out and buried7 &C. g..
e.
Answer-No. In some amputations
the ends Of severed nerves become In
volved In scar and may give discom-
fort, comparable with the tingling Of
little finger when you bump the
funny bone"-the ulnar nerve Just
inside the tip Of the elbow.
Altophobia
For years have been afflicted with
fear Of high places. Looking out from
top Of tall building am 50 Ohsessed
with the fear that I'm going to Jump
that can get no pleasure from such
visits. But the other day I went up
In an aeroplane, and was troubled not
in the least by the fear. &C. o. M
Answer-Perhaps the explanation is
that when flying you are floating on
the air as tho In q boat.
Castor Beans Drive Mice Away
I planted q castor bean tree near my
house and scattered the beans about
the place. Soon the mice and gophers
vanished and we haven't seen one
since-this was 10 years ago. BY

DESTROYING a Fable

One Of the things which the re-
turn Of beer has done for the aver
age American Is to give him more
information about the beverage and
the processes by which 1t Is made
and transported than any previous
generation has had.
Before prohibition people took beer
as matter Of course. There wasn't
. great deal Of public interest in the
processes Of mailing. The average
customer, knowing only that 1t was
sold in bottles or wooden kegs, came
to the conclusion that the oak used
In the larger containers had some
thing to do with the flavor.
In this, as most Of them now know,
they were mistaken. The kegs were
lined with pitch to keep the beer from
soaking into the wood and making
the container sour and unfit for
further use. The idea that the oak
contributed to the flavor was Just
idle fancy.
This information became generally
known when modern brewers began
shipping their product in steel kegs
and met with protest from consum-
ers over the fact. They were forced
to make public explanation that the
only reason they hadn't done 50 In
the old days was the impossibilty of
making the pitch lining stick to
metal.
In the time between prohibition
and the return Of beer that difficulty
was overcome by advances in metal
lurgical and chemical science.
The result has nothing to do with
the flavor Of the beer but it does have
tendency to make the product
cheaper. since the metal kegs last
longer and are generally lighter in
weight, with q resultant saving In
shipping costs.

LIFE is ONE NUISANCE AFTER
ANOTHER


II the actual cost In labor and
thought and money could be accu-
rately determined we should probably
find that we spend as much for pro-
lection against and suppression Of
such nuisances Is vermin, pests and
parasites as we do for war and peace.
Consider the cost Of the damage done
by rats alone, and the cost Of our
efforts to prevent their depredations
and to protect ourselves against the
diseases rats spread-plague, infecti-
Gus jaundice. rat bite fever, trichinosis,
relapsing fever, and probably typhoid
and dysentery in some instances.
It would take too much Of our re-
stricted space to discuss all of these
nuisances. We can discuss only few
Of them here. At the present time
perhaps some suggestions for the
treatment Of the bites of various IN
sects and methods of repelling the
pests or avoiding their bites Will be
useful.
Mosquitoes. Breed only in standing
water, never under weeds or IN dry
places. Eggs become larvae or "Wiggle-
tails" in from five to ten days. Wig
gletails suffocate II the water In which
they live IS covered with q thin film
OF oil which prevents them from
breathing. In four or five days the
larvae (wiggletails) develop into pu-
nae or "tumblers," and in two or three
days the .'tumblers" become tull
fledged mosquitoes. Old cans or bot
ties lying about, open barrels or tuos
