COMEHOW. one doesn't expect to
~ hear philosophical reflections
when Joe E. Brown opens his
mouth. Nevertheless, his recent
public pronouncement that a home,
wife and family are necessary for
making man happy is as wise as
any proverb by Solomon.
Children" he adds, would put a
stop to many divorces in the film
colony"
Heartily as agree with his first
opinion, the second, I think, needs
looking into. Without doubt, 10

children are often the brakes that
prevent smash-ups in the divorce
court.

amid surroundings that seem firm
and fixed to him. Children need
sense Of security and Of that kind
Of serene continuity that only nor
nal family life can give them.
Nothing hurts them so much in
their inner beings as the fear of
impending upheavals. To a little
child, his home is the world. And
when the home falls his world ends.
Much as it may be regretted,
therefore, it seems to me those
members Of the movie colony-and
OF any other group who change
husbands and wives as casually as
they do apartments had best leave
the begetting Of children to some
body else. Because the first quality
Of the good parent is a sense Of
responsibility toward the preserva-
ton Of. the family.

majority Of the Hollywood clan do
not make good parents. Being emo
tionally unbalanced, they are
necessarily immature in their ap-
proaches to life and therefore es-
sentially unfit to train children.
=
OF course We find it very hard to
~ think intelligently on this
subject. 1t has worn halo so long
that to question the tradition about
parental love blanketing all faults
is still considered almost as evil as
the deliberate designation of a
sacred image. Yet We all realize
that undying alteration is not the
sole quality that distinguishes the
excellent parent.

is reared properly must grow up

would like to tell J. w. do not think
the institution is so badly managed.
The present attendants working for

Gent and capable. Any place you
go, you will find two classes, good
and bad. Why should man who is
honest and will work not be treated
better than a man who is so mean
that his relatives won't help him,
and as result spends one-half his
time at this institution and the re-
naming time at the penal farm? I
hope j. w. reads this and explains
it to the taxpayers and likes it.

After trying in vain to reach E.
F. Maddox, a former contributor to
The Times, through letters, I will
appeal through the Message Center,
hoping to get in touch with him.
I do not have the time or inclina-
ton to handy words with Mr.. Mad
doX in a long drawn-out argument
nor would impose upon the good
graceS of The Times to devote space
for any controversy in that line.
Relative to couple of letters to
The Times by Mr.. Maddox wherein
he threatens that he was going to
stamp out everything socialistic in
our public schools, and proclaiming
himself as doubly patriotic and
making fool of himself in general
and since it is my delight to take
some little nin1- conf poop pate-rot
and use them as an illustration to
show the public just what silly and
inconsistent drivel they have been
listening to. Therefore I issue this
challenge to the Mr. Maddox for
open debate on the topic: Re
solved, that with the purport of the
Declaration of independence and
the fulfllment of the Constitution
Of the United States we can have
scientific socialism without changing
a word in either one"
Now, Mr.. Maddox, if you are sin
cere in your ideas and still persist
in trying to foist them upon the
people Of this country you will avail
yourself OF this opportunity to be
heard.

All red blooded Hoosiers will COM
mend Booth Tarkington's defense
Of his young nephew as one of the
six greatest short story writer's in
Einstein's universe. Too often we
Hoosiers have been Indifferent in
awarding glory to our fellow Indi-
anianS before they die. We hardly
notice them till they swamp the
magazines. This young writer now
has opportunity to wear the laurels
on his beetling bows while he still
is young enough to tote them. I
also think it is nice in Booth not to
neglect the family when he has a
chance to hand out the honors. Too
many folks nowadays are so prone
to forget kinfolks. 1 have Just
taken my Bible back to the circulat-
ing library, otherwise I would like
to quote somthing I saw there about
ones duty to his family.
AS an ancestor of Bill Herschell,
I would like to pass my humble
opinion to the newspapers that Bill
may not be as big a poet as William
Shakespeare, butt would rather
read "Aint God good to Indiana"
any day in preference to Romeo and
Juliet which I think was written by
the big shot from Avon-on-the-
Stratford
Anyhow, III say Bill is entitled to
rank among at least the ten great
est poets, dead or living, who are
Shakespeare, Milton, Robespierre
next the fellow who wrote Poppies
in Flanders field whose name I
forget, Tennyson, Will Herschen.
Dante, Homer, Will Rogers and
Mary BoStwick. Miss Mary may
have no uncle to speak for her in
this connection, so I will lust in
clude her without anybodys sugges-
ton
I would like to see some more
uncles come forward in Indiana.

BY Perry Rule.
Contributors to Times columns
have pointed out that the state adj
ministration machinery was top
heavy with commissions and boards.
Governor and legislators were stig-
matized as moral towards for not
fearlessly enacting remedial legis-
lation. This condition in the state
government doomed large and ugly in
public view. The McNutt admins
tration'S inconquerable fidelity to
duties brought about the needed
reformation. In place Of deserved
praise, sarcasm, satire, ridicule and
inexcuSable scorn and unjust criti-
cism were heaped upon the admins
tration. When the present state adj
miniStration becomes history and is
then more fully understood those
reorganization acts will be concurred
in and the administration accom-
plishments in the reorganization
work will be recognized as neither
excelled nor remotely equaled by
any previous state administration.
The salary of the Lieutenant
Governor has been a point of attack
on the reorganization program.
Formerly the Lieutenant-Gov
drew $12 day while presiding over
the senate. After that session the
Lieutenant Governor did not work
for the state, receiving for this idle
ness a gift of $1,000 year, requiring
total disbursement of $1,720. Un-
der the new setup the Lieutenant
Governor is performing the follow
ing duties:
Executive office of the department
of commerce and industry; COM
missioner of agriculture; executive
manager of the state fair board;
member of state board of education;
member Of state board of public
works; member of state board Of
commerce and industry; member of
state board of the department of
state and secretary of the state fair
board.

CEMENT BIDS
AGAIN HELD UP
AS TOO HIGH
NoncoIIuSion Order by State
Fails to Break Up
Unity.

Despite readvertising and the new
requirements for posting bonds and
taking oaths Of conclusion, bids on
100000 barrels of state highway
department cement were about the
same again today.
The price of $120 a barrel formed
the base, as n the former BIDS, which
were rejected.
AS in the former bidding, only one
Of the seventeen companies offered
lower price q to 5 cents a barred
on 100000 barrels to be delivered in
nine counties in northeastern In
diana.
This was the Aetna Portland &C.
ment Company of Detroit.
Chairman James Adams of the
commission expressed disapproval of
the bidding, and predicted curtail-
ment Of the state paving program
Previously, he had said that con-
tractors may be called on to furnish
their own cement, if the state can
not break what appears to be a
combine.
Last year bids ranged from 68 to
70 cents a barrels. The 1881 price
was 81.
Today's bids were taken under
Amusement and Adams issued the
following statement:
'Inasmuch as the bids were Sc
much higher this year than last, il
naturally. will result in a curtailec
road construction program.
The averge base price at the mil
was 10 cents or less a barrel. In 1881
it was 81. We had felt that the price
this year should not exceed that OF
1881"

nothing of it. A battle-not of

Englishwoman energies triumphant
over the flabbergasted racketeers.

Contract Bridge

His natural play is to win WI,
let us say, the queen. When you
have again entered your hand, your
proper play is the king, and when
the jack falls from your left-hand
opponent, go right up with ace in
dummy.
In other words, making this type
of play, you have fifty fifty chance
TO win. Tou will win any time that
there are three cards 70 an honor
in the hand of your right-hand OPP
ponent. and you will also win any
time that the queen and jack are
alone.
You do not decrease your chances
of winning on the play, but you in
crease them with this particular
combination and in making plays
that is the thing you want to give
most thought-what percentage OF
chance you have to win.
This is a really important play
in bridge and hope that my read
ers will lay this combination OF
cards out. Remember that you are
to distribute the remaining five
cards of the suit by putting two in
one hand and three in the other.
There are about eight combina-
tons that you will be able to build
up in that manner, dealing Of
course, with just the honor cards.
You will find that by playing first
the small card, finesSing the ten,
and then playing the king and over
taking with the ace, you will win
four out of the eight times.
The remaining times the play
would lose whether you played the
king and then the small card X
played the small card and then the
king.
1t is mastering plays like this, and
knowing how to handle them when
the situation arises, that makes you
a successful card player.

Sand Friction Is Met
We approach Mars and enter the
atmosphere of the plant. Our in
tention is to land upon the surface
of the planet. But we find our
rocket ship travels badly in the
atmosphere of Mars. The air is full
OF sand and the tiny red grains beat
angrily upon the sides of our ship.
The friction is so great we fear
the ship will be destroyed. In adj
dition, the friction is developing a
field of static electricity. Inside the
ship we feel the electric tension.
Miniature streaks of lightning play
around the exterior Of the ship.
We must leave closer inspection of
Mars to another journey. And so we
turn back into empty space. But

mains to be seen in the solar sys-
