BUY IT NOW

NOV is the time to buy" is the slogan
Of a drive beginning Monday and gen.
eraled by Recovery Administrator Hugh John
son.
Behind this campaign is faith in this
countrys future faith that the recovery pro-
gram not only will raise prices substantially in
the near future, but also will increase buying
power proportionately.
So far the midsummer boom has shot pro-
duction far ahead Of buying power, but the
gap is narrowing. From March to July pro-
duction rose IS per cent, the workers buying
power only IL per cent. But by September
production had dropped to A per cent above
MARGINS and and by August the workers buy
ing power had advanced to II per cent above
Marchs
Further such healthy gain in pay rolls oc-
CURED in September.
To make the Buy Now campaign a con-
tinuing performance, the gap must be closed.
This will be done if industry holds prices down
to reasonable levels and shares it's profits with
the workers in better pay and shorter hours.
In the meantime the shelves are grooming
with goods produced cheaply under pre-code
conditions. The governments credit expansion
plans are almost certain to raise prices
Buying now will move these goods for the
producers and distributors, save money for the
consumers and give the recovery program the
push that it seems to need right now
To American business, General johnson
says: In order to increase sales at the pres
action are absolutely essential. They are:
First give the public attractive up-to-date
merchandise, fairly priced, and, second, ag-
gressively promote your products to the public.
The modern method is advertising"

A ND I, too, have a song" con-
L n tinued the boatman as his
anger mounted at the effrontery of
Holy 10. ut runs something like
this
In a husky baritone, for he had
been sore beset, the boatman piped
up, You say you'll love me in No
vember, out amt had no loving
from you since April, January, June
or July"
And in final burst of rage the
boatman shook his fist in the face
OF the maker of willow wands and
cried aloud to the high heavens:
Holy Joe may once have been your
name, but from this time forth
you'll be Jumping Joe to me. You
are no better than a bank walker,
and you leap only when a net has
been spread and soft cushions con-
veniently disposed to catch you
gently if you land upon your plat
form! Take with you your willow
wands and dispose of them as you
will, for I have no urge to see your
face again!"
And from that day forth Holy Joe
was known to all the folk of Tur-
kestan as Jumping Joe, and his
prestige with the citizens was dimin-
ished greatly.

~ House and Building Wreckers
The wrecking companies of In
dianapolis form an integral part Of
the industrial and civic life of this
city. The companies are long es-
tablished, have large investments
in their business, and steadily en-
ploy large numbers Of persons.
The owners of these companies
help support the local newspapers,
churches, utilities and other indus
trial and commercial enterprises.
Their record of their treatment of
their employees and of protecting
them against injury is remarkably
commendable.
When the NRA movement was
initiated, substantial majority Of
the wrecking companies were among
the first to sign the Presidents re-
employment agreement, and formed
the Association of House and Build
ing Wreckers of Indianapolis. These
actions deserve appreciation and
reciprocation by the citizens of this
city, even to the extent of grant,
ing concessions in favor Of these
companies as against companies
from other cities.
But what is the response? The
Denison hotel building was to be
wrecked and RACED by its owners,
and it was probably the largest
building to be wrecked for long
period of time. Many of the local
Wrecking companies placed bids for
the contract. But this prize job and
contract was awarded to an out-of-
town concern, the Cuyahoga Wreck
ing Company of Cleveland, o.
Certainly this is not an expression
by the owners of this property of
an interest in the civic and indus
trial welfare of the city of Indian
apolis. For it will be impossible
for the indianapolis wrecking COM
panies to prosper, if on the large
wrecking jobs are Haunted signs to
the effect that the contract has
been awarded to an out-of-town
concern.
Furthermore, this Cleveland con-
Germ now is using the site of the
old baseball park to store the lum-
Der and materials obtained from
the wrecking, and it does not re-
quire a stretch of the imagination
to observe that the money and prof
it's obtained from their sale will go
to Cleveland.
This is a direct challenge to the
Indianapolis Chamber Of Commerce
and to the civic clubs and all other
organizations and citizens who have
in mind the prosperity and devel-
opment of the city of Indianapolis,
and it is hoped it will not go unan-
sWered.

TINE smartest thing the modern
l. business woman does is to fib
about her age. And the way she
gets by with it is a JOY to see.
It is safe to say that two-thirds
of all professional and business
women are from seven to ten years
older than they write themselves.
And let a 35-year-old woman re-
peat often enough that she is 81
and she will become 81 in her mind
which is all that matters.
She will assume the mannerisms
of youth, acquire more elastic men,
tai attitudes and will fight harder to
keep herself looking, acting and
thinking young. Thus she will be
young. And will remain so for
years. although she may get wrinkles
and gray hairs like every one else.

the hands of bootleggers and gang
sters, as there is no industry which
can survive without profit and a
legal, well regulated business will
not try to do so. A condition of
this kind will just throw the matter
right into the hands of the people
that the population of our country
have been trying for sixteen years
to eliminate.
The liquor industry does not want
an excessive profit, and will not
stand for prohibitive taxes, so let's
use some common sense in taxation
so that the laboring man can pur-
chase his supplies and get the same
materials at the same price as the
millionaire.
Let us forget the political ring
setup, such as they have in Can
ada, and such as they apply here
in Indiana on beer regulations,
eliminate the so-called importer or
distributor, the designated whole
saler, and let the business flow
through regular business like indus
trial channels, in order that the
political grab bag dealers can look
around and find some actual con-
structive work to do, in place of liv-
ing off Of the taxpayers of the state.
Fair and square taxes, common
sense license fees are welcome, but
the present grating system is not.

Full Recovery Needed After Illness

IN its survey of the physical con-
i ditions Of athletes with q view
to prevention of many athletic in
jurieS, the committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate Association en-
phasizes particularly the desirability
for a coach who must combine with
his functions those of trainer, to
watch carefully over every one of
his men.
Special care must be taken to
prevent a boy who has been i'll
from returning to athletics until
he has made a complete recovery.
The committee stresses the fact
that any player who has been Ill
enough to keep him out Of practice
should be given at least simple
test Of the heart functioning, pref
erably by a doctor, before being
permitted to practice again.

fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts.
and enough fresh fruits and vege-
tables to provide all necessary vita
Minis for a good diet.
A low protein and a high carbo-
hydrate diet tends to be most de-
sirable, containing always, however,
a reasonable quantity of fresh fruits
and vegetables. Any food taken just
before a game or practice should be
easily digestible. Athletes prefer
ably never should take food less
than two hours before engaging in
any sport.
Certain foods which tend to re-
main long in the stomach, such as
pork, veal and certain kinds of fish,
should be avoided before engaging
in any athletic competition.

they repel the demands, even the
lures, Of domestic life.
Say what you will in our kind of
a world, where women have to be
young to get jobs, where they must
play the maid though they are
wives, where their livelihood often
depends upon their ability to look
younger than they are, you are sure
to have many who will repudiate
marriage with its rubber stamps.
I grant you it's silly. Just the
same, something wonderful hap
pened to women when they found
they could live as independent spin
sters, or even as wives without chill
dren, and making life stand still
remain comfortable IS for fifteen
years.

cal Association and of Hygeia.

If a player has been compelled
to be away from sports for any
considerable length of time, due to
illness or from any other cause,
he should take calisthenics and
graded drills Of pre-seasonal period
before joining a squad for regular
competitive athletics.
In the old days the training table
was quite a fetish with athletic
coaches. Much emphasis was placed
on certain articles of food which
were supposed to have special viz
tues in certain sports.
Today it is recognized that the
well-balanced diet contains proteins,

A Local Application

1T is quite a coincidence that there
L should be a legend in far-off
Turkestan, which corresponds so
neatly with the present situation in
New York City's municipal cam
paign. Joseph v. Mckee happens
himself to be holy man and val
liant knight in battles with dead
dragons.
Perhaps he is following that
scriptural parable which sets forth
the fact that those who arrived at
the eleventh hour, every man re-
ceived a penny" But the Bible
does not say that any of these late
corners claimed a right to the entire
jackpot.

A Woman'S Viewpoint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Upon this fact hinges the Ill fate
Of many homes. 1t is responsible
for the disintegration of households
and for the vanishing Of many a
dream menage. Because the home
woman is so irrevocably dated, espe-
cially if she has children.
Unlike her professional sister.
~ she can't escape the conscious
ness Of her years. If she has been
home-maker for ten years, her
household goods will shout the fact
to every conner, and her children
mark her as a matron, no matter
how glibly she may lie about her
birthdays.
Plenty of girls realize this. Sub
consciously they fight against it.
Desiring to remain a perpetual 20.

bering the boatman with assistance.

rage and answered Holy Joe with
Scorn.

he cried. while I struggled in the
stream you whitfield willow wends

Rev. F. S. Wicks, on his article in
your issue ~ef Oct. 2 in connection
with the liquor industry.
I feel that he is perfectly correct
in his idea to keep the question out
of the crooked political setup of
the Anti-Saloon League. 1t also
should be kept out of the hands of
the narrow minded grafters called
the Prohibition party, which is as
we all know from experience the
breeding farm for bootleggers and
gangsters.
Above all keep the liquor traffic
free from political control of any
kind. The liquor industry, is what
one might say new industry, just
starting up, it is starting clean and
as an industry has the thought in
mind of remaining clean, and does
not and will not favor any given
faction.
The idea of the elimination of
profit, however, will carry it into
