Land of Allure.
But Indiana isn't all farms and
factories. You'll have a good time
in the Hoosier state, which has
rocky canyons, virgin forests, sand
dunes, rolling countryside, attrac-
tive residential areas and more
than 10000 miles of paved state
highways, supplemented by $1,000
miles of secondary roads. There
are IA state parks and IL state
forests. Indiana has rivers and
streams and more than 1000 lakes,
not including the southern shores
of Lake Michigan. There are his

IA years in Indiana, and to George
Rogers Clark, conqueror of the

American, it flexes its muscles, feels
its strength, and faces the postwar
world with all the confidence it has
drawn from rich land. during the
past $50 years.

Florida, TIE Beautiful

Florida may have many things
that other states Lakeland that in

Ponce de Leon helped make famous
has the last frontier of sport, the
most famous 10 thousand square
miles in the United States.
Here, within a brief whirl of the
social softness and glamour of Palm
Beach and Miami Beach, you can
come upon both beauty and savage
wildness, fang and claw, the rattle

and the coral snake, the puma or
what is known here as the panther,
bear up to 400 pounds or more; deer,
alligator, egret, pelican, heron and
crane, almost every known variety
of bird life and fish beyond all ina
gination.
In one days haul in small boat
we returned with IL varieties of fish.
The boat was half full of fish by
2 o'clock. There were wild duck
and geese flying overhead and there
was quail in the dryer spots.
The jungles of India and Africa
have nothing to match the variety or
beauty of the Everglades or its look
of wildness in certain sectors.
There are no tigers, lions, ele-
plants or leopards around. But
the puma or panther, ranging nine
feet from tip to tip, weighing close
to 200 pounds. is replica Of the
Vests mountain lion. The puma
isn't tiger or a leopard, it isn't
even jaguar, but it is still moth

The Romans used a type of

forerunner of modern radiant heat

Managers Need Players

Boudreau, a great ballplayer, has
never had the material to prove his
place. Boudreau might have churn-
ed I'D a mess of trouble this season,
if the Yankees and Reds hadn't
reached out and lassoed most Of the
good floating material.
A fellow can be honest, have an
honest opinion, and still be wrong.
In the opinion Of this restless
roamer, the best manager in the
National league is Billy South
worth of the Braves-possibly the
best manager in baseball today.
Next to Southworth, we put Eddie
Dyer and Leo Durocher on level
terms. Both are something better
than good managers. We like Dyer's
system of handling his men and
working with umpires better but we
can be quite wrong here.
Burt Shotton is one of the great
managers of baseball. Hickey should
have given him SO per cent of every
dollar he took in through 1947.
For all of that Durocher is an able
leader He isn't a Mccarthy, a Har-
ris or a Southworth, but he is good
enough.
Mel OFT has another chance to
prove his place. OFT is one of the
most likeable persons in the game
today. He had the power last year
and he should have it this year.
Charley Grimm, Johnny Neun,
Bill Meyer and Ben Chapman are
all good managers. With better
material, they might be much bet
ter managers. But they will chuck
in a number of grenades when the
Cardinals, Dodgers, Braves and
Giants come along.

Blame for Smoking

The sense of smell probably is re-
sponsible for the original idea of
smoking. According to Encyclopae-
dia Britannica, this sense was much
keener in primitive man, and along
with the pleasure he derived from
aroma, he probably also expert
enced a sense of mystery at the
sight of the smoke rising up into
the air.

Of Hoosiers
(Editors Note: ibis Is snotbsr in the Stories
Of tho States serieS.)
BY EDWARD EMERINE
WNU Features

Indiana is the Land of the Hoosiers.
And the Hoosiers are that particular
breed of people who do things and make
history. 'Hoosier" is no mean sobriquet.
The word embodies the good soil, the
gentle climate, the perseverance of pio-
neers in the wilderness, the courage of
strong men and women in the face of
Indian attack, and the will to win recog-
milton against all odds.
Originally much of Indiana was covered with
4 heavy growth of forests, mostly hardwood
trees. The first hundred years of its history
were marked by hectic series Of events in
volving Indian tribes, wars, French traders
and English explorers. After the Revolution
ary war the Americans pushed farther west
Into the wilderness. They were the first Hoo
siers. They built permanent settlements. They
drove out the Indians remember reading
about the battle of Tippecanoe and General
Harrison?
In 1900, Indiana was made territory.
The state was admitted to the Union 16
years later. Its progress had been rapid.
Lands were cleared, roads were opened,
towns had sprung up, industries were estab-
ished. And the rest of the world began to
hear about the Hoosiers.
William Henry Harrison, first governor of
Indiana territory, became president of the
United States. Benjamin Harrison also was
president Vice presidents of the u S. included
such Hoosiers Schuyler Colfax, Thomas A.
Hendricks, Charles W. Fairbanks and Thomas
r. Marshall of "fve-cent cigar"

Home Of Inventors.
In the field of invention, James
Blake, pioneer Of Indianapolis,
built the first steam mill and fac
tory. Elwood Haynes built the first
"horseless carriage" James B.
Eads invented the diving bell as
well as building the famed Eads
bridge over the Mississippi river at
St. Louis.
Famous HOLSTERS, men and wom-
en- of today and yesterday, are found
in many fields of achievement. John
S. Bobbs was the first surgeon to
operate for gall stones. Eli Lilly
founded one of the worlds largest
pharmaceutical plants. Isaac Coe,
a celebrated pioneer physician, was
one OF the founders of the First
Presbyterian church. John Stude-
baker - and four sons, Clement,
Henry, Peter and John - spread
the fame of Indiana over the nation.
Hoagy Carmichael is a Hoosier.
Paul Dresser and Cole Porter, the
composers, were other Hoosiers.
Such names as Ford Prick, Knute
Rockne, Kenesaw Mountain Lands
and Wilbur Shaw remind sports fol-
lowers of Indiana. George AIDES

IF you will pardon US for pointing,
L big league baseball today has an
extremely high average of leader
ship in its managers now after the
golden fleece.
The 1948 crop can match anything
we have known in baseball. AS they
will figure largely in the headlines
of the new year they should be worth
just bit more space than they have
received to-date.
"Who are they?" Even if you
don't remember, they include Joe
Mccarthy of the Red Sox, Bucky
Harris of the Yankees and Lou Bou-
dreau of the Indians. It might be
Steve O'Neil of the Tigers also be-
longs. We are not SO well acquaint-
ed with his work.
It might be that Connie Mack can
be included in this list-we mean
1948-the only year that matters
now. You can throw out all the
others.
The American league battle will
be a hand-to-hand, throat-cutting
duel between Mccarthy and Har-
ris. It ought to be. They have
most of the good ballplayers.
Mccarthy is a brilliant manager.
But don't underrate Harris, the most
human leader of the lot. Harris can
handle his squad, and, when you ask
him a question point-blank, he an

 The Board plans to ask the City Council to appoint a campaign com mittee of not less than F persons to work with the Beard in soliciting funds and in the planning and car rying out of fund raising activities. If the City Council approves. each of the several organizations will be contacted and urged to offer the services of those nemt CTS of their groups who are best qualified for this work.
 For a period of 20 years or more there have been repeated discus sions among organizations and indi- viduals as to the need and possible methods for obtaining better local library facilities, but the discussions never crystalized into an action pro gram until the above mentioned or ganizations concentrated their ef- forts on the project. The goal is now attainable if there is forthcom- ing a liberal subscription by local individuals and firms and (2) CO., ordinated hard work on the port of those who are requested to solicit donations or to work on fund-rais- ing projects. We of course want to raise the required sum and get the library constructed and brought into use as soon as possible; consequent- ly a revised estimate of the cost as of today is to be prepared as soon
 possible to show how much more money has to he raised, after which the intensive campaign is to be 1tarted immediately. Whether con-
 truction work starts within six months or is delayed for number of years depends on the public res ponse.
 Subscriptions need not be paid in full at once but may be in the form of signed pledges to be paid over a period of two years.

To Voters of
 A'aska. Higher 2 Taxes foF You

It 5 reported over the press news that Democrat DELEGATE BOB BARTLETT has introduced bill in Congress this week to allow the Cities in Alaska to raise the rate ? percent to 3 percent; to tax all these who have Real or Personal property within the Cities and also to allow the Territory of Alaska to tax Prop erty outside of the Cities of Alaska 2 percent. This would mean in Cities that property owners of both Real and Personal property would pay a 50 percent raise in taxes or 50 cents more on every dollar. This is in accordance with Democratic Plat form just adopted at Ketchikan, Alaska, and the Democratic Theory of Spend, Spend, Spend. Tax, Tax, Tax.
 We are opposed to any further taxes and especially more Taxes within Cities. First, because if a Property owner has to pay more taxes he simply must add it on to his Tenant for higher rent. This will be true for Hotels, Apartments md Dwellings. All additional Taxes
 re paid fer by the consumer one way or another. If addi ional taxes are made upcn Mercantile Els ablish- ments they will simply add that cost
 the consumer.
 It's time Citles and the Territory lived upon it's budget like any other citizen. The only relief is to write to a Republican Senator or Con- gressman to stop this bill. Upon re- ceipt of this news, Juneau Real Estate went down in price. Who wants to own property with addi- tional 50 percent tax in sight? ONE THING YOU WILL NOTE IS WHO IS ADVOCATING MORE SPFND- ING. MORE TAXES. MORE TAX UPON THE CONSUMER, THE SALES TAX, REAL TAX, TAX upon your personal belongings. He is a DEMOCRAT office holder. and one who has very little interest III Alaska as to paying any taxes.
