ratlfying the Child Labor Amendment
gives hope to what once seemed a waning
cause. It is the fourth state to ratify this
yesr-following Wyoming. Utah and Idaho
and the first industrial state.

Credit for Indiana's action goes to a de-
voted group OF public spirited citizens. headed

In this New Deal era, opposition to ratif-

PEGLER'S SERIES DRAWS
FIRE OF TIMES READER

By r. E. Baur.
On several occasions we have
seen the editors notes appended to
letters to the Message Center stat
ing that Peglers column was an
uncensored expression of his own
opinion. In a recent column Pegler
calls Mooney a labor Slugger, which
is a typical LOS Angeles Times, Chi
cago Tribune, or Hearst label for
any labor organizer who effectively
organizes labor.
When Roy Howard was put on the
spot in California by the financial
interests during the Sinclair scare,
it was Pegler for whom he wired.
1t was necessary that the ScrippS-
Howard newspaper join the braylng
press to stop Sinclair, "Or else" but
Mr.. Howard knew that his position
was built upon liberal-minded read
ers so his contribution to the clamor
would have to be more dignified
than the blurbS in the Hearst papers.
There followed the "Mahatma"
series by Pegler. Then to appease the
anger of the 100000 California
voters who supported Sinclair and
were probably readers of Scripps-
Howard papers, Pegler was given
the cue to write an apologize
column to Upton Sinclair, and we
were fed some Of Pegler's gracious
ness in which he sings his barbs
at the robot Governor Of California
and gives Sinclair the credit for
having forced a political machine,
Mr.. Pegler's choice, into ways Of
righteousness.
Pegler's outstanding character
istic is synicism he gives way oc-
caSionally to pathOs and weeps for
the suffering poor. However, when
the suffering poor organize to better
their condition they will find no
sympathy or support in Pegler'S
column unless he is paid for his
charms. When the VIGOROUSLY over
worked and underpaid newspaper
writer's organized their guild, Pegler
Joined because he lacked the 'guts"
to tell the boys to go to blazes with
their union, but in his column he
lined up with Hearst, where the
big money is.

EXPLANATION Is DEMANDED
ON SEWER COSTS
Bv Bert wilhelm.

By Bert Wilhelm.
The Property Owners Protective
Association desires to correct the
press statements regarding Senate
Bill rs which has been referred to
by some as an attempt to saddle
on the taxpayers Of Indianapolis
some $4,000 for the payment OF
assessments for the Bean Greek
and Pleasant Run sewer.
Isn't it a fact that this sanitary
sewer. built entirely inside the city,
was "saddled" on the farmers?
Farmers as far away as eight or 10
miles were assessed $1,000 and a
few at $500, according to the acre
age. But the sewer would not aid
these farmers.
Please say in your newspaper
that the city has built other SAM
tary sewers under the sanitary dis
trict law and assessed the city at
large including all property inside
the city to pay for them. Why as
sess the city at large for sanitary
main sewers under the sanitary dis
trict law on the theory that the
public health is involved, then re-
fuse to pay this comparatively small
sum?

bles are of paramount Importance in this
situation. We owe the child not merely
place to eat and sleep. but the best possible
substitute We can devise for the kind Of So
cial training which luckier children get in
their own homes.
The present moment is a good one for con-
s.dering that point. It is harder than ever
before to find money for these institutions;
the simplest way is to eliminate the "frills"
and concentrate on food clothing and build
ings. But to do that is to defeat our own
purpose.
These children in orphanages are going to
be grown men and women in a few years.
The kind of men and women they will be
will depend in large part on the wisdom and
generosity with which We approach the mat
ter Of their training now.

Father Coughlin and some of the

DY VIRGINIA WOODAf,F,

As Mir Mckinley watched Sonia Hablni move about the stage durs ing the first two acts of the play he was more than. ever euthralled by the pure loveliness of her young voice, her sweet face. her fresh. slender figure.
 Mir Mckinley had reached that certain age and position of afflu- ence when he fancied himself as a wife. No, she was old--about as romantic gallant. But not to his old as he was--nnd she had lost the last vestige of that glamor0us fascination which belongs only to youth. Of course, he loved her. but she didn't thrill him as the young exquisite Sonia Sabini did, for instance.
 Sonia was youth, and Mir Mo. Klnley saw romance and charm in her because, perhaps, his own youth was gone irrevocably.
 she's quite good, isn't she?" Mrs Mckinley said as the curtain went down for q twenty-minute intermission. Sonia Sabini, l mean"
 McKinley's eyes lost some of their dreaminess as they looked on his wife's rather puffy face and matronly shoulders. What would she say if he told her that as soon as Sonia could arrange time he was going to take her-in all the glory of her young beauty-to the most exquisite dinner his taste could arrange? And after that din- ner-well, his fate was in the lap of the gods.
 "Uh, excuse me, Agnes" he mutt tered to his wife.
 Five minutes later he was back stage standing just outside Sonia Sabbini's dressing-room door, At his knock, an older boy or young man who looked about 19 or 20 came out, closing the door be- hind him.
 "Sonia says she's sorry to keep you waiting. MT Mckinley. She sent me out to entertain you.' He moved his hands awkwardly. "I-I Ido this for Sonia sometimes"
 Mckinley gaZed enviously at this young man who was so close, so intimate with Sonia. But second glance showed him that the boy was ill-at-ease, awkward, unsure or himself and Mckinley smiled rather patronizingly. After all, hel thought, 1t takes age to give man poise and sophistication. A young woman like Sonia couldn't admire mere callow schoolboyish chap.
 Its very good of you, Mr-, he paused questioningly.
 My name is Bob Allen. Uh- sorry. Forgot to introduce myself
 Mckinley smiled again. Very glad to know you, Mister Allen. Are you in the play? don't recog- nize you offstage.

 No, sir. I'm not in the play. q - just sorta hang around. Run errands and other things to help out"
 T see." Mckinley drew out his watch. "I'm afraid there won't be- much chance for a chat with Miss Sabini before the last act"
 "Oh, there11 be plenty of timei"' Allen exclaimed eagerly. "The. mater doesn't go on right away.*
 Mckinley looked puzzled. But -Sonia?"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-28

Allen burst into a raucous laugh that ended In a squeak. Gee, you didn't know? Sonia is my mother. call her the mater. Yes sir, she fools lots of people. Why, I've got a sister older'n me who is married and has a baby!"
 What" That exclamation ot surprise and shock-almost of hoi- ror-escaped Mckinley before he could stop it. "She-she looks so young! never dreamed--s Sonia the mother of this = this gawky young man! And a grand mother! Why, she was old! Maybe as old as he was; even as old as Agnes! You've no idea how Sonia works to keep looking young" Allen went on chattily. "She's in there now with a mud pack on her face. She has to diet, exercise, have her face lifted, get lots and lots of rest-oh, it's a tough racket trying to keep youngr"
 Mud packs - face lifted! Me- Kinley was suddenly nauseated. He had been fooled, hoodwinked by diet. Why, he had almost taken her out to dinner, and he might have fallen in love with her and she was a grandmother!
 ''Uh, tell your m-mother I'm sorry can't wait any longer. Neas- ly time for the curtain"
 He made his way back ami leaned across his seat to his wife, "Agnes, d'you mind if we go home now? I've got--a touch of lum- bago."
 "Of course, you poor dear. didn't care much for the play any way" Backstage in Sonia Sabinis dressing room, Bob Allen and Sonia were wiping tears of laugti- l ter from their cheeks. On the floors | near a huge basket of roses lay card and beneath MT McKinley's name was written For your beau tifu1 youth."
 "Bob," Sonia was saying, "you did that youngAboy act marvellous ly. I was afraid you were laying it on thick about the 'grandchild' - but the mud pack was perfect!"
 ''It was 8 good act, wasn't 1t? Bob Allen smiled in quite the man-about-town fashion. "That old fool won't bother you any more. Say, wouldn't it be great ii got a chance to do my young boy act on the stage? Until I do. I've got a feeling I'll just go on being a butler in your plays"
 And my darling. darling hus- band!"
