Postpone That " ar!

THE entire tenor of the agitation for the bonus
Il adjusted compensation suggests however
that that was the last great bargain which this
country may expect. Hereafter the man under arms
will be likely to demand scale of pay which takes
into consideration the greater risks, longer hours,
restrictions of liberty living conditions and the i'm
portance Of his service compared with that of the
workman in the armament plant, the shipyard and
the office.
At that rate adopting SIS day minimum
figure fol an Army and Navy Of four million in war
lasting four years, it would cost 81 billion, 500 MIL
lion in military wages alone to the country from
conquest by the japanese.
1t seems good plan to have all this thoroughly
understood in advance that the citizens may con-

The next war should be postponed until the need
of new one is such that 1t can't be postponed an
other hour and even then if the cost Of defending
the country is going to exceed the inventory there
would be no use fighting to win, at the very best,

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

IF man or woman developed softening of the
i brain general paresis around 1910 the out
look was Invariably bad There was the possibility
of fatality and if life persisted. the likelihood OF
years of confinement in an institution Tor the
insane.
Stree that time great advances have occurred.
The famous Japanese investigator Noguchi, found
that this condition was caused by the organism IhdI
produces syphilis.
Then a German investigator showed that the
injection of such persons with the organism that
causes malaria brought about fever which tended
to stop progress of the paretic condition.
Since that time other methods of producing fever
have been developed, including use Of heat brought
about by passing an electrical current through the
body, and heat developed through devices for rails
ing temperature of the air and controlling humidity
MOREOVER, certain products have developed
wi which act specifically against this disease,
including various notifications of arsenic, such as
salvarsan COR $685., nesalvarsan and tryparsamide.
The outlook for such person today is not hope
less For example, in 1909 Is per cent Of men with
this condition who admitted to institutions in
New York died in the institution within four years
and 81 per cent died within IS years
Studying the figures from 1925 through 1881, we
find a tremendous improvement OF 1856 patients
admitted to the institution n 1928 ! per cent we're
discharged as recovered. 1877 per cent as much i'm
proved. and 1919 per cent were discharged as con-
sideraby improved.
OR. contrasting more specifically the patients
" with this condition who could be discharged
from the hospital one-haf Of per cent recovered
in 1920 whereas in 1881 about per cent recovered.
In 1920, 10 per cent improved whereas in 1884,
26 per cent improved.
Naturally the tendency to recovery and i'm
provement lowers the death rates that those adj
mitted 10 institutions with this condition who die
promptly are much fewer than those who used TO
die promptly.
OF particular interest is the fact that the num-
Der OF men with this condition coming into insttu-
tons in New York State seems to be slowly de-
Ginning while the number of coming in
seems to be rising rather steadily.

cause of lengthy litigation the OPP
orators OF the 20 restaurant stands
had paid no rent at all for several
years. Acting on instructions from
the Safety Board, Mr.. Lindemann
cracked down on these delinquentS
with orders to pay up or get out
Most of the Shareholders pre-
ferred to pay up on a basis of one
months delinquency with eacn
monthly rental payment. Delln-
ouencies dating as far back as
1892 are being paid off with the
result that the total collection OF
current and delinquent rentals in
the first three months Of this
year amounted to approximately
10000 more than in the same peri
cd Of 1884
Many stands which have been
vacant for several years now are
occupied and report a thriving
business. Surplus restaurants have
been weeded out and the Safety
Board this week is considering
bids for the construction of three
modern restaurants on the Wa
bash-st side of the building which
will replace the older outmoded
stands.
Bids for the drilling Of a 100
foot well already have been tlled
with the board and will be award
ed within a few days.
This new we'll will replace the
old one used in the refrigeratlng
system. BY providing colder water
from a deeper source it is expected
thai the new well will require
much less power and thus less eX-
pense in producing refrigeration
for the meat and fish stands.
MR.. LINDEMANN hopes even
wi tually to bring about a COM
nlete modernization Of all the
stands with the cooperation OF
the individual stand holders.
Meanwhile all the stands are be-
ing repainted, white with the
same Shade of green for trim
ming. High partitions between
the stands are being removed ana
in many instances new and uni
form showcases have been in
stalled.
Another innovation sought by
Mr.. Lindemann and the Safety
Board is an inside parking space.
They hope to set aside a section
on the Alabama-st side OF the
building to accommodate about
40 cars which may be left there
for a period of 80 or 40 minutes.
The proposed widening of Market
st with the removal of the trolley
tracks between Delaware and
Alabama sts also would improve
greatly the parking facilities in
the neighborhOod and add TIC the
accessibility of the market to the
motorized shopper.
The countless boxes and hamp-
ers which formerly INSTRUCTED the
aisles to the peril of the Gus
toners have been removed and
easy circulation around the build
ing is assured. Several weeks
ago a crew of exterminators took
over the building one Sunday
with the result that the rats
which once threatened to take
possession of the building have
all but disappeared.
Tomorrow the same crew will

MIR. LINDEMANN has many
Iva other plans which he hopes
to put into operation within the
next few years. He, too, feels that
something was lost when the old
outdoor stalls were abolished and
he hopes that the Market-st wall
of the building can be replaced by
sliding steel panels which will
leave one row of stands open to
the street when weather permits.
This, he believes. will help ad-
vertiSe the market and attract the
attention Of paSsersby who might
otherwise believe the building to
be an abandoned stable.
Meanwhile, in order to correct
this erroneous impression he plans
to place large neon signs on the
sides Of the market house in order
to attract new customers. Once
they form the market habit he is
confident that they will remain
satisfied and faithful patrons.
They will be delighted Mr..
Lindemann feels, with the quality
and economy of the market pro-
duce. their appetites will be
whetted by the fresh wholesome
foods served in the new modern
restaurants and they will be
charmed by the courtesy and de-
sire to please on the part of the
SHAREHOLDERS.
They will find their favorite
stands, as their parents had be-
fore them, and many new custom
ers will find the very persons
who once waited on their parents
and grandparents still there and
anxious to serve.
They will sample the choice teas
Of Harry SaSaki, the japanese
who has operated his booth for
nearly 40 years, and they will
stop to buy spring flowers at the
stand of Mrs Mary Hepler Okey,
who has had the same location for
43 years.
Perhaps the majestic old dowa-
gers who formerly drove to mar
ket in their electrics each Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday never
will return, since most of the
grand old ladies and practically
all the electrics have gone for
ever. New generations of shop
pers, however, male as well as fe-
male, are growing up and learn
ing to appreciate the joys and
convenience of shopping and
proving around the fascinating
aisles of the Market House.

The market house has
been recognized by genera
tions Of indianapolis house
wives as an ideal source Of
provisions, supplying the
finest quality Of groceries
and meats.
Longer ago than most persons
now can remember a common
market was established on the
approximate site Of the present
market house and farmers from
nearov communities drove to town
in their wagons to dispose Of their
produce in improvised stands to
early residents of indianapolis.
The present structure was built
in the 1905. but the old outside
stands continued in operation I'M
til recently Many old-timers
mourn the passing Of the pic
turesque open booths. with their
stacks Of scrupulously scrubbed
fruits and vegetables gliStening in
the morning sunlight.
Romantic persons were reminded
Of the Paris halles and thrifty
buyers preferred it because there
was less Standardization of prices
and more opportunity to drive a
good bargain by astute haggling.
THE rise of the chain stores
il and the difficulty of finding
a place to park within easy walk
ing distance cat least within
distance easy for a housewife to
walk with two days provisions in
baskets on each arm), caused
many once faithful patrons to
forsake the old market in favor Of
neighbOrhood chain groceries and
the more modern "drive-in" mar
ket.
The old building for while was
allowed to fall into a state of dis
repair stands we're not kept as
clean as they might have been,
dirt accumulated, odors became
more pungent than fragrant. rats
and reaches took over the place as
customers and stand-hOlderS dis

Things are different now and
the market is taking a new lease
on life. Instead of being an al
most forgotten child in the city
family the market is now receiv-
ing the treatment of a prodigal

THE unusual freedom from

fact that this is one of the rare
