CRITICISM DIRECTED AT
DEMOTION METHODS
By Ex-COp.

BY Ex-Cop.
It is interesting to notice that re-
sponsible city officials are still ap-
proving the recommendations Of the
police and fire chiefs that certain
police and firemen be denoted at
their own requests.
Of course this may be perfectly
true in the two cases brought up at
the board meeting Tuesday, but L
happen to know that in the past
some Of these requests have been
made to cover up some scandal or
even a personal grudge and keep the
real reason for the demOtion a secret
except to a few men in the depart
ment.
It seems to me that the Safety
Board is particularly stupid to pass
these recommendations without any
Investigation of the matter other
than to ask few questions Of the
chief. If a cop or a fireman is to
be punished, tn news should be
made public so that the people may
know the sort of officers they really
have.

LEGION BLAMED FOR
VETERANS WOES

BY H. E. Thixton.
Being one of the boys who fol-
lowed the barrage, I was more than
delighted to read that Norman
Glenn, like so many others, would
prefer special distinction separat-
ing the combat veteran from the
rest of the crowd.
Those personal sentiments por-
tray a man of unquestionable char
acSer imbued with the spirit of
fairness and immeaSurable unself-
ish qualities.
While I agree in principal With
Mr.. Glenn, I believe that he is not
i'll full possession of facts concerning
veteran legislation. An eXamina-
ton of veteran administration files
will clearly show the injustices and
discriminating features existing in
our present laws.
In the list of denied claims you
may find records Of combat vet
Grams wounded in battle rated as
below a compensate degree, and
others suffering from disabilities of
tubercular nature and, according
to the findings of the rating board,
not service connected. Contrary to
those injustices you will find numer-
Gus cases Of home service veterans
receiving subsidies in excess of $50
a month.
If any and all who may be in
terested may desire further evil
dence, I will gladly produce a vet
eran who suffered a bullet wound
through the neck and now existing
on public charity. I also will pro-
duce for your approval another vet
eran of combat suffering from pull
monary tuberculosis and depend
ing on his wife for a livelihood
Neither veteran receives government
aid and both are survivors of bay
onet encounters.
Those deplorable conditions have
not resulted from the efforts Of OPP
posing forces, but were the direct
result Of strategy resorted to by the
tenacious American Legion through
its efforts to consolidate its political
front, sacrificing common sense and
fairness-and motivated by the de-
sire for individual and private gains.
Unfortunate it is for the nation
and combat veteran that the un-
selfish qualities which characterizes
Norman Glenn have not been shared
more abundantly by the individuals
who compose the rank and file OF
the American Legion.

PREDICTS RETURN
OF PROHIBITION
BY H. 5. Bonsib.

By H. $. Bonsib.
I see the politicians are at 1t
again. They are trying to patch
up the "unpatchable," and are try
ing to do the "undoable.'
The leopard has not changed his
spots. Nothing is settled until it
is settled right; and as to settling
the liquor traffic, it never has been
regulated nor controlled.
Allow me to reiterate again and
again-what can't be mended must
be ended.
The liquor traffic is not control
able. If it is right it ought to be
free, and if it is wrong it should
never be licensed.
If the Prohibition party we're IN
power it would be dealt with as a
crime and not as a bushes, and we
would have a party in power which
is in sympathy with the prohibition
law. which we have never had.
Christ said, Every tree that my
Heavenly Father hath not p4dAUeu

DENOUNCES JURY FOR
VAUDEVILLE ACT
BH Harriet Drake.

by hafriett Didht'
Is it possible that eight men and
four women can be so utterly low
and degraded as to take pleasure
in the fact that they have sen
fenced a man to death? So great
pleasure and pride in that fact
that they contemplate vaudeville
tour: putting themselves on ex-
hibition for other low minded per-
sons to pay money to merely gaze
upon them.
Possibly it was with this end in
view that the CHASTITY verdict was
agreed upon Who knows?
Had they found Hauptmann not
guilty, or recommended mercy, GER
tainly they would have received no
offer for a stage appearance.
And does the world at large be-
lieve the verdict a just one, evidence
of first degree murder being purely
circumstantial?

Hurrah for Mr.. Blume! BY all
means let us have rugged indlVid-
ualism. If Mr.. Blume has a car
and wants to go to Chicago, let
him build his own road. But
with rugged individualiSm Mr..
Blume probably wouldn't have a
car because he would have to
make it himself.
You say Mr.. Blume's house is
on fire? Well let him put it out
himself. This is an individualiSt's
country Every man for himself
and let the devil keep us if he can.
Why is everybody digging wells
and building outhouses? Haven't
you heard? We are enjoying a
gay return to the rugged individ
ualism Of our fOrefathers No more
police, firemen, judges, sidewalks,
sewers, garbage collectors, streets
no more anything. All, what
life! No more anything!
Mr.. Blume says:
1T takes suffering to make
great men. You would take away
the incentive to better them
selves"
My! My! Mr.. Blume should
preach his profound philosophy
upon the highways and byways.
There are millions who would be
cheered to know of their splendid
opportunities to become great men.
He further states:
1.-THE dreams of idealiSts are
seldom practical"
Now, I wonder where he read
that? Hasn't Mr.. Blume heard Of
Edison, Fulton, Curie, Marconi
and thousands of other idealists?
Nothing is practical until it is
practiced with success. Nothing
is practiced with success until it is
tried. Hasn't Mr.. Blume the rug

DEMANDS ACTION ON
CROSSING INCIDENT

BY A. Stokes.
What is the matter with the Board
of Safety that it continues its pol
lev of inaction concerning the re-
cent arrest Of a train conductor by
policemen who had already violat-
ed a city ordinance by driving
through a railroad warning signal?
What is the matter with Chief
Mike Morrissey that he continues to
report no progress in his 'inVest-
CATION" of the incident?
Are the board members and the
chief doing nothing because they
fear that any public rebuke or pun
ishment might reflect on the eff
cheney of their administration of the
police department?
The people of Indianapolis have a.
right to know the answers to these
questions and the answers should
be made at once.

work and toll made himself what he
is today.
To me a person who talks about
taking the money away from cap
italists is nothing but a loafer and
wants something for nothing. He
should be in Russia or Germany
and not in the U. S. A. Many times
I have been without a cent in my
pocket and starving but I never
blamed the capitalist or the admin
istratiOn then in power; I placed it
where it belonged-on myself. If
others would try this perhaps they
would remedy their faults and have
a little more cheerful outlook on
life.
The present Administration has
been in power little more than two
years and people in their false be-
iefs are beginning to blame the
present conditions and crisis on it.
Give it a chance. You can not
change the entire economic condi-
ton Of a country like ours in two
years or even four. You might in
Bolivia or Switzerland or some other
equally small country, but not here.
1t was the previous AdminiStra-
ton that put the country in the de-
preston and it went in might.
1t will take a long time to get out.
Instead Of people giving destructive
criticism why not make it construc-
tive and speed up recovery instead
of retarding it? The present Ad-
ministration has helped conditions;
give it a chance and let it bring the
country entirely out of chaos. Read
The Times business section and you
can get a good idea of the trend
toward better times and prosperity.
Factories are charging present
quarters and hiring additional help.

security; for brightness, but we walk
in darkness"
There is need for our politicians
to view the whole problem of the
liquor traffic from a different angle.
Until they do this they will &C
complish nothing. The only solution
of the problem is no compromise,
no regulation, but annihilation. Pro-
hibitiOn is coming back.

ged courage to push an ideal
through to practical completion?
For Mr.. BlumeS information,
we have not forgotten that this
is a government of the people, by
the people and for the people"
In fact, two years under an Ad-
ministration which actually tries
to live up to the quoted ideal has
hardly worn off the novelty.
AS for Mr.. Blume's questions, 1
can only say that they are rather
vague. I can not see that they
refer to either principle or policy
Of the New Deal.
But I have a question for him.
Does he believe in allowing preda-
tory interests to so dOmineer in
this nation that they are able to
name wages, prices. utility rates,
manipulate supply and demand to
their own advantage, starve pro-
ducers and gouge consumers, I'M
dermine small business men with
low prices, then shoot prices up
through monopoly, pour worthless
stock into security companies and
banks and leave Mr.. Average Citi-
zen holding the bag? That is not
a rhetorical question. Those things
happened. Does Mr.. Blume be-
lieve in allowing such liberty to
continue?
The object of the New Deal is
not RECOMMENDATION as its opponents
would like everybody to believe.
Through mechanical and econom-
ic revolution we have become de-
pendent upon each other. Rugged
individuaIism, once a driving force,
has now become a conflicting force
against a changed and changing
world. Realizing this, the present
Administration is attempting to
establish in its stead the policy
Of co-Oper9 tive indiVidualiSTn.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK? By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma

"A great many merchants in the small towns still think that advertising is advertising generation ago the small country weekly was given advertising at very low rate per inch not because the merchant thought would really do him any good the theory that he should support the local newspaper The newspapers themselves have aban doned this idea and the first to suggest that they o not want advertising that basis
 Tt works out this way The advertiser who has the complex that an inch or page of space is inch or page and may be measured 1n cost yet to be louo Ill some sections As matter of fact page sold in local commun tv for fifty dollars is always much cheaper than the page of the same size sold in the community for twenty-five dollars The merchant who buys page because o the cheap nrice usually is throwing his money away The value of page of advertising in local paper is exactly measured by the number of subscribers to which that paper goes multi piled by the standing and character n the community of the newspaper itself.

U. s. Factors To Figure In Trip
 Of Normandie
Many American Made Appliances Used on New Liner Sailing
 June 3 For U. s.

ST NAZAIRE, France, Mar. - When the giant liner Normandie, first salutes Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty on her maiden voyage in June, a grand nephew of the monu- ment's sculpture will be in com- mand.
 Rene Pugnet boxer, painter, musi- clan inventor and ranking com mander of the French Lines fleet, will be in charge of the 79,OOO-ton vessel, whose building here he has supervised almost from the mom- ent she first began to take shape.
 American Fittings Chosen
 American materials play a big part in the big liners equipment. Motors manufactured by an Ameri- can company are being placed thru out her enormous bulk. The search lights are American-made. Air-con- ditioning apparatus and electric re- frigerators from the United States have been purchased.
 Details of the liners construction are being carefully guarded. Ex- cept for a few figures, given in an effort to prove the Normandie is big ger than her British rival. Queen Mary, data on her construction is being withheld. Only a few weeks before she pushes her 79,000 tons out into the sea for the maiden voyage to New York, now planned for June 3, will views of her inter- for be available
 The length of the ship says the French Line is 1,030 feet-l2 feet longer than the Queen Mary. She will carry more than 5000 passen- gers and a crew of 2,0OO. Her 16O- 900 horsepower is counted on to

drive her through the waves at 30 knots, expected to send her from Le Havre to New York in four days flat or less.
 Butchers, Beauticians in Crew
 Her crew will include such wide ly diversified members as three doc tors, nine butchers and 20 bellboys. There will be nine hairdressers sev- en printers 16 musicians and 187 cooks.
 Literally enough food, liner and other supplies will be carried for an army. Each of the 5000 passengers for example will have the exclusive right to 43 napkins, two chickens, ten pounds of ice, a,carafe and four knives, as we'll as similar quantities of other necessities.
 Although he has been at sea sin ce early youth Captain Pugnet has found time to accomplish as much as three or four men ordinarily do in a lifetime. The violin he plays was fashioned by his hands. So was the piano, from the pedals to the ivory keys.
 He's Artistic Sea Dog
 It was while he was master of the liner Paris that his talents as a DOT trait painter first became known, for his passengers often sat for him. His experiments in color photography have taken prizes in Paris salons, and he also has been successful in sculpturing a talent he says he in herited from his great uncle-
 Between inventing "Pugnet holes" which allow hre noses to be play Tn any cabin without damaging the cab in structure and deciding where to place the ships equipment and per- sonell, from 10000 bottles of beer to 31 messenger boys, Captain Pug net has found time to keep up his boxing.
 At 53 he continues also to fence, and shoot. On occasion he even pill ots an airplane for in the world war he commanded the French naval av- iation base in Corsica and diSting- uished himself at the defense of Cor flu.
