rented overnight. The Stewart
Junior High and Edmonds
Schools are within walking
distance and I noticed the
Public Free Library just a few
blocks away. This would be a
convenient location for Navy
Yard employees as the Navy
Yard car is just at the corner.
Your inspection is solicited.
200 BLOCK OF MAssACHU.
SETS AVENUE N. E.:
There is a certain dignity in
living within the shadow of our
Nations Capitol and truly this
apartment I am about to deS-
cribe is in accordance with
these ideals. A suite Of two
rooms, kitchenette, dinette,
bath and reception hall is avail
able now and it is one Of the
roomiest small apartments I
have seen. While you might
call the dinette by that name,
it is really more the size Of a
junior dining room and would
easily hold a small size dining
room set. The kitchen with its
many shelves was also spacious
and one would have plenty Of
working space. An entrance
hall connected the living room
and bedroom, both of which
rooms were quite large. Switch
board and elevator service, and
a large laundry room with
electric washers were all part Of
the inducements offered. This
apartment rented for $3.50
and believe you would be
overly pleased if you would see
it.
200 MASSACHUSETTS
AVENUE N. w.:
Continuing my journey up
Massachusetts Avenue I went
into a very attractive brick
building. Here they had a one
room, kitchen and bath and
dressing closet for a very small
rental. This apartment would
especially appeal to those who
work at either the Union
Station, Post Office or Govern
ment Printing Office as it
would only be a five minute
jaunt. Plenty of roomy closets,
big windows and elevator SER
vice, this unit would make a
very comfortable home.

"WOMEN'S RIGHTS"
VAIL BELITTLED
BY a Husban nd.

BY Husband.
w. B. Hawkins recent letter about
the feminine vail for equal rights
contains many good points.
Too many women want equality in
taking mems jobs, usually at less
pay, but otherwise they expect the
same old gallantry from the males.
Back in the days when the equal
rights campaign was just getting
under way, a man, discussing the
custom of giving up street car seats
to women, said:
They want equal rights. Let 'em
stand up and enjoy them"
The career craze, which takes
women from their homes, their hus-
bands and children to dabble in
some useless activity, probably will
end some day, just like short skirts
went out of fashion.
To say that woman's place is in
the home Immediately brings the
cry of "old fashioned" But there
are quite few old fashioned ideas
that are pretty good-like two and
two make four.

STILL UNSOLVED

MARION countys May primary was a
A'A tangled mess. Not only was it a mess
in the usual sense, but to this was added the
apparent juggling Of votes in Republican
Office contests.
The retiring Marion county grand jury has
recommended revision Of the election laws to
provide means to block such manipulations.
Such recommendations are fine. But the
grand jury has failed on two points. In the
first place. the jurors fail to find the violators
Of the election laws who managed to control
this years deal and. in the second place, they
fail to produce any guaranty that the 1885
legislature. which, as usual, will be swamped
with many bills, viii heed the plea.
Since the recent grand jury failed to pro-
duce anything tangible, the responsibility OF
solving this springs vote outrage rests square
II with Prosecutor Wilson and the incoming
grand jury.

FREE PLAY SPACE

CTTY officials have been asked to insure
~ the establishment Of a playground on the
uorth side within the next year. To Gate
the only answer has been that the city does
not have the money to provide such recrea-
tional facilities this year. with absolutely no
guarantee Of what might come next year.
With the early part Of the summer passed.
IL seems that some one on the north side is
missing a bet AS heavily populated as the
north side Is there is no question but that
there are vacant lots here and there. These
lots. surely. provide sufficient room for
few swings. slides and sand piles
Certainly these lots are owned BY some
one. And If they are not being used for hab-
itation or commercial purposes why shouldn't
they be turned over 10 the future generation
for legitimate recreation?
The park board and recreation directors
could not afford TO turn down the offer OF free
play space. II such tract were offered, it
should BE equipped and supervised.

Lovely Annie
BY ALYS WACHSTETTER

Lovely Annie was woodcolt child,
With glittering eyes and black hair
wild.
Never knew her father and her
mother died.
She was left alone to roam the hill
side.
Some folks said she had an evil
charm,
And wouldn't let her near, afraid
she'd do them harm.
Said they, Child enchanted, child
of sin,
Our doors are closed, you can't come
in"
One still summer night, from over
the dale
I family heard her solitary vail.
1 was distressed for her lonely soul,
And went to see her in a friendly
role.
I came to her wood hut, visit to
pay,
In some odd manner she witched
my heart away.
Now long for Annie, and her lips
like wine,
She has cast her spell in this blood
of mine -.
Forever, must follow after a burn
ing in my breast,
Till I am loved by her, shall hav
no rest.

BARREL-CHESTED BUNK

CKINNY youths who aspire to the barrel
- chested bulk of a heavyweight wrestler
might Just as we'll forget all about it, says DR..
C. A. Harper, state health officer of Wisconsin.
1t looks impressive on the bathing beach, but
it doesn't necessarily mean thing.
The barrel-chested man may be just as
susceptible to tuberculosis or other pulmonary
diseases as the flat-chested one. says the
lconoclaStic doctor.
Lung space and expansion is important,
but the man with a long thin chest may have
Just as much lung capacity as the one who
looks like pouter pigeon, and the thin-chest-
ed fellow. if well proportional and well nour-
ished. may be just as strong as the big fellow.
SO there you are, and don't worry if you
don't bulge.

AUTO DRIVERS SHOULD
UNDERGO EXAMINATION

BY ]. T. S.
Despite the warnings Of police and
the newspapers, automobile acci-
dents in indianapolis and Marion
county continue. Several years ago
the police conducted safety tests in
various parts of the city, at least
determining from these the perfec-
tons or imperfections Of the me-
chanical devices the driver had in
control.
1t would be we'll to repeat that
performance again, think, and it
would be well for the neyt legisla-
ture to pass some laws that would
require drivers to pass physical and
mental tests. The most perfect
automobile is nothing but a tool Of
death in the hands Of a moron.

WHENEVER the brand Of POM is

Alvah J. Fucker, former prosecutor and
special investigator IN the collapse Of the
Washington Bank and Trust Company, sat-
urdsv fled in Marion county court series
Of charges that uncovered another chapter
in indianapolis banking.
There is no need to go into the details Of
Mr.. Fuckers report. His action was Just an
other IN the series Of revelations which make
the citizens. shake their heads as though they
have been dazed. And the worst part of it is
that these allegations apparently have filtered
through the fingers Of prosecuting authorities.
Mr.. Fuckers report deals only with infor-
nation ne has been able to ascertain in his in
vestigauon It does not deal with the years
past when officers Of this same institution sent
their employees into the homes Of indianapolis
with the plea that earnings be placed in the
care Of this institution.
Mr.. Fuckers report does not relate to you
the hundreds OF instances Of human interest
that we're touched upon in these years and in
the last days Of this banks life.
He does not tell how depositors of the bank
were laughed at the Saturday before the bank
closed because they insisted on drawing out
their deposits. He doesn't tell you of the scores
who we're heartbroken when this institution
failed to open its doors few days later.
His report or the report of any other bank
investigator does not bring to light the feelings
OF hundreds of other persons who were the
victims of this and other banks which closed
suddenly in indianapolis
These facts will be written some day.
But. in the meantime there Is a period for
action That action must come from the
courts. the grand jury and the prosecuting
authorities.
Continual delay makes the situation worse.

UPHOLDS AUTHENTICITY
OF HISTORY IN BIBLE
By B. B. Green, a pastor.

By B. b. Green, a pastor.
To Mr.. Cummings and others who
question the authority of the Scrip
lures, I know you "have not both
cred to find out" Strange that you
know the Egyptians of 1000 years
ago so well and Bible characters or
prophecy not at all.
The Bible history is of greater an
tiquity than any other record, but
where secular history begins it sup
ports and proves the Bible record
and prophecies.
Could any reasonable mind sup
pose Moses could have persuaded
the Israelites they had passed
through the Red sea if they had not
known it to be true?
Bible reference to Gods dealings
with its characters never waited
centuries to impose some cooked
up fable as modern guessers are
doing, but it was to eye witnesses,
we yourselves know" The Jewish
and Christian services today show
the institutions of the prophets and
no man can fix their origin other
wise.
You state Adam was not the first
man. Equivalent to a man was not
the first man. What was? Then
you reason since Adam was not the
first there was no transgression and
no need of a redeemer. Know any,
thing Of sin?. When did it begin?
You say the fable Of a redeemer
was cooked up during the dark ages
$50 to 1850 (year of our Lord a
latitude of 600 years is about as
definite as ever knew you fellows
to be.
If you had known Jewish and Ro-
man history you would not have
been betrayed into your absurd
statement. If you knew JoSephus
(37 years A. d., you must accept
Bible characters including the
Nazaren and Christians of the first
century. If you accept the Roman
rulers of the first century you can
not reject their contact with Christ
or Christians.
Tacitus, a Roman historian, 81
A. D., pronounced by unanimous
voice OF his contemporaries and OF
posterity master historian, wrote.

Nero inflicted the most exquisite
fortunes on those known as Chris

FRLICITATES SISTER

Mrs. Hancock I appreciate your
letter to The Times Message Center.

but you are a brave woman and
you don't need the sympathy as
much as the narrow minded, litter
ate persons who have criticised your
every movement.

gossip monger may say. He is your
brother, and would do far more for
you than any one else. At least, that
is my opinion of him.
AS for Mrs Calendar, I would
trust her about as much as l would
any nosey person.
I would like TO meet you, but you
probably would think that I, too,
am nosey, so I will wait, and wish
you and John both the very best
of luck. May he never be caught.

CONDEMNS PRACTICE OF
SELLING ACCOUNTS
By Tn stuck.

BY Tn Stuck.
Several indianapolis business con-
Germs, among them some Of the Old
est in the city, are resortlng TO
what seems to me a practice OF
doubtful merit.
I am referring to sale Of accounts
to finance companies which tack on
carrying charges" in exorbitant
amounts, adding to the troubles Of
those who with lessened incomes al
ready are having a hard enough
time in meeting their obligations.
There are instances where pa
irons Of good stores have enjoyed
cordial relations with the merchants
over long periods who are becoming
disguised with the sale of accounts.
and not little part of that disgust
is being directed at the stores.

CHALLENGES CRITICS
TO SURPASS BIBLE

BY G. J. C.
I noted in this column a critic
doesn't like the story of Jonah and
the whale. Well, God said He pre-
pared big fish and no critic ever
did or ever will change Gods plan.
I think these critics are foolish
for not writing another book that
can equal the Bible, for it is the
best seller among books and the
critic could certainly go well heeled
through the depression. Prophets
foretold the coming of the airplane
and said horses would fly like
eagles. God knew man would invent
engines and would fly.

Doubtless some motion pictures

that hiding truths is the way to

From more than one reliable

Youth today is merely less hypo-

DILLINGER SEEMS TOO

John Dillinger, we see, is blamed
for another robbery and either he
or member of his gang is blamed
for another killing. If all these
charges against Dillinger are true
and if all the police in the nation

Crime News and influence ON Boys

BY F. Vernon Smith.
You have an opportunity to
right some of the wrongs the
newspapers of this country have
done by pushing an honest-to-
goodness fight for the divorcing
of politics and penal institutions.
I organized two clubs at the
Indiana Boys school as leisure
time projects, and you would be
surprised at the number of boys
who got their start in crime from
your sheet and others like it.
You must put yourself in a
boys place. Don't analyze your
crime news from the point of
grown-up, but an altogether diff
ferent viewpoint. A boy is i'm
pulsive, quick to act and thought
less, where a grown person would

think, go slowly and act accord
ingly.
DR.. Dill, at the Indiana Boys
school, is a wonderful leader and
worker, but the Democratic ap-
pointees who really have the boys
under their care are about as fit
to have charge of boys as am to
run an editorial page. He can't
help it.
Most of these boys come from
orphanages, broken homes and the
poorer districts. There is the
place to start a crime war, not
after some dunno political judge
sends a boy up the stepladder Of
crime.
You can do it. Give some
facts and curtail painting crime.

By L. r.

AS an enthusiastic Times reader I
have read with interest the service

If a large corporation continuous
ly issues new stock to its employees

WARNS AGAINST IMPROPER
USE OF FIREWORKS

BY Reader.
With the annual Fourth of July
celebration coming again Wednes-
day, let Indianapolis hope that its
toll of casualties will be reduced far
more than III years gone by. Every
year the mothers and fathers of this
city have had to endure the expert
ences of seeing their children in
jured.
1 hope that the police will con-
tinue their drive to keep children
from buying and using fireworks
until the very last minute. 1t will be
well for parents to stress the dam
gerousness of the explosives on the
youngsters, so a holiday will not be
one Of tragedy or bad luck.

Surely Dillinger has hiding out

in South Bend Saturday, then he
had some nearby place to conceal
himself. Is he so successful in find
ing and using hiding out places
that some member of this vast law
army can not locate him? If he is.
then it is time for the state of In
