Nine-year-old Charles Mather,
not worried about the perfidy Of
his canine pal, Toots, who, with
rabies, bit him on New Years Day,
is at home, 1922 Ralston-av, being
given anti-rabies serum as a pre-
caution.
What he is worried about is
That Toots died of his affliction
only after he bit Charles other
dog, SNOWFALL who subsequently
had to be shot by police on the
theory that he, too, would become
rabid.
Having lost both of his play
mates, Charles spends his time
alternately grieving for his pals
and planning the acquisition of
new ones. His parents are Mr..
and Mrs. Rodman Mather.

.INDIANA'S RECORD

TINE people of Indiana have full reason to
Il realize that they can be proud of their
state A recitation of its roster of distinguished
citizens and their contributions to the progress
of mankind along many varied fronts hardly
is necessary.
But Atty Gen. Philip Lutz, in an Indiana
Club address in Illinois, recently disclosed some
little known facts that add to Indianas lustre
The record of Who's Who in America for
the present year, he points out, shows 1914
persons listing their birthplace as Indiana.
making the state stand sixth among the SIS
states and territories.
MI Lutz also noted that during a period
productive of an avalanche of regulatory
measures seeking to control our economic lives,
Indiana can boast that it produced the first
progressive.
He was Robert Owen, who established at
New Harmony a communistic experiment that
failed early in the last century. Although
Ovens plans failed, his lofty ideals lived, Mr..
Lutz declared, and his noble experiments gave
birth to ideas advanced of his time, but now
regarded as commonplace.
The boast that Indiana produced the first
progressive is no small one.

ARMAND THE MAN!

NNE of the eeriest and strangest murder
~ cases in modern criminal history blew
up the other day when a court at Sydney,
Australia ruled that the arm of a dead man
does not constitute a corpus deficit
man named Smith went fishing in the
ocean with a man named Brady, and was not
seen afterward. There were suspicious of foul
play, but nothing could be proved.
Then some one caught shark The shark
disgorged a human arm. On the arm were
certain tattoo marks Smiths relatives looked
at them and said they were identical with
marks Smith had on his arm The police
declared that Brady had killed Smith and
tossed him overheard and that shark had
eaten the corpse.
All this makes up one of those far-fetched
and rather creepy plots that detective story
writer's are so fond of. The only thing wrong
with it is the conclusion. The court held
that this Identification was not sufficient to
prove Smith dead-so Brady was released. and
the case fell fiat.

BOOMERANG

T Asst month farmers of Sonoma County in
IL California formed themselves into a
'vigilante" mob and set upon five alleged
agitators who were trying to organize an apple
pickers' union. They required three of these
who denied they were Communists to kiss
the flag to prove it. They tarred and feath-
cred two who refused this ritual. and ran them
out of the county.
Now Sonoma County is short of cheap
labor to harvest its hops and grapes. and has
appealed or workers. Federal employment
officials say that outrages against workers
have scared transient labor away from So
nomas picturesque hills and valleys. AL
though there is plenty of cheap labor in
California there is none for Sonoma County.

Furnishes its mobs more people Will sympa-
thize with its present plight.

ERRORS IN MATANUSKA

A MINNESOTA farmer recently returned
n from visit to Alaska, where ne in
spected the famous Matanuska valley colony.
Il is his idea that the troubles Of that expert
ment were largely caused by two things-a
government that failed to plan efficiently, and
pioneers who we're too fussy" and expected
too much.
The governments chief mistake, he says,
was in failing to nave the houses built be-
fore the settlers were moved into the val
ley. Some Of the settlers on the other hand
forgot that they were pioneers and looked fol
all the comforts of home, and felt abused when
they didn't find them.
This seems to be a fair summing up of
the much discussed project. 1t is worth no.
ticing. too, that this Minnesotan sees great
possibilities for the colony. The soil is rich,
the scenery is grand and, he adds IF I
had chance at pioneering up there Id take
it with my eyes open and like it."

InteViqence Amonq the CIerqv

A BOUT Noah and the Ark, Mr.. Miner says:
"A LAS a story with high moral teachings it
is magnificent. We do gross injustice to these
ancient people and their Holy Book when We
tasten any such literal ideas upon them"
Again . these things to this day are not
clearly understood by the rank and file of our
Protestant people. AS long as impossible ideas
continue among us on these very elementary
matters the Christian church is bound to be
afflicted with confusion in its thinking and
medieval slOth in its progress
These statements, coming from Well-knoWn
PRESBYTERIAN minister are highly significant
not just because they happen to be true or un-
true, but because a minister says them. 1t is
evidence Of the fact that there is lot OF in
telligence still left in the ranks of the clergy.
Mr. Miner makes no bones about the world
being on the way to the dogs. He has a great
deal to say in THE Sky Is Red" about movies,
books, crimes and other elements for the good
and evil Of western civilization.
