C. Wicks, pastor of All Souls Uni tarian Church, today. However, Hr. Wicks urged the necessity of vigilance to prevent poli ticians from naming the city man ager. “I am most decidedly in favor of the system The Times advocates,” said Dr- Wicks. “I know there was wholesale cor ruption of the negro in the recent election," Dr. Wicks declared. “I know one man who bought a car load of liquor to distribute to col ored voters. I myself saw a white man passing money to a negro. ‘‘The election was carried by the organized religious bigotry and racial prejudice of the community, together with a partisanship which looks only at a party label. "What I most deplore Is the in troduction of the religious Issue. Al though I do not boast of being a. hundred per cent American, I still believe In the Constitution which grants equal rights to Catholics and Protestants, to the white and the colored.” CONFIDENT FUND WILL GO OVER final Luncheon to Be Held Wednesday.

BU limited Prett _ _ WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Testifying under oath beforo his jury of generals, Col. William Mitchell today by example 2ases defended liis criticisms of the War and Navy Depart ments and indirectly reiterated his charges that they are “ut most treasonably” administered, for which charge he is stand ing court-martial for “misconduct.’’ As Mitchell took the stand in hts own defense two orderlies carried into court a huge box containing Mitchell’s 800 pounds of documen tary evidences in support of his charges. Mitchell sat in the witness chair with him arms folded and had ready answers for questions put to him by Representative Frank It. Reid, his counsel. Mitchell said he first learned to fly in 1916. Touching his World War experience, he read a letter he received from General Pershing shortly after the armistice. Pershing asked Mitchell to accept his "sincere congratulations for the successful operations under your command." Mitchell also read a number of citations from foreign governments. Mew All the Time "Did you fly ir. the war?” Reid asked. "I went into the air and over the lines every time I had the chance. I went over during all of the major engagements,” Mitchell replied. Before returning to this country after the war, Mitchell said he made exhaustive Investigations Into I France and England's air power. He said he conferred with virtually all j of the military experts. “From my conversations and stu dies," Mitchell said, “I am positive that future conflicts between nations will be preceded by two things: In tensive activity by submarines and air attacks on the nerve centers of hostile States. Future Wars in Air "The Army will not he called on the way it has been in the past be cause in the future it will only func tion in a slow, laborious fashion that will be costly in the way of lives lost.” “Tell the court if any of the so called nerve centers were attacked during the World War," said Reid. "The cities along the Rhine were just beginning to be bombardod at the close of the war. The small bombardment had a grave effect on the civilian population of these cities At the present time, Mitchell said, the United States Is in the hands of foreign governments when procure ment of airplanes is considered. Touching again on future wars, Mitchell said airplanes “would sweep by anti-aircraft guns. "Airplanes.” he said, "would make feint attack after feint attack to con fuse the anti-aircraft gun troops and the civilian population and then do liver a potent attack. Anti-craft guns In the future will be unable to detect airplanes at night because the planes will have silent motors. "We must have some study made to arrange for the care of civilian population in this country In case It is attacked by air. We must de termine how to feed them in rase our supply cities are destroyed and provide shelter for them during air attacks.” "Pilotless Planes” Mitchell told the court of nearly 100 recommendations he had made for Improving the service while serv ing as assistant chief of the air service, ranging from his well-known policies to minor suggestions for changes. Mitchell testified that It was possi ble to fly airplanes "without any body in them.” He said the Army should make exhaustive studies of the pilotless plane and connect it with the aerial bomb. "Pilotless planes have been flown,” Mitchell said, “but not in this country." JUDGE SENT THE KEY Wife of Superior Court Justice Locked Out of Home. Quick judge, the key! When Mrs. Theophilus J.

2 CASTOR ASKS A BIG QUESTION FROM PULPIT Rev. Fackler Urges All to Do Good Deeds Every Day. I ASING his sermon on the I R I J ues ti° n “What Did You Do?” 1 the Rev. L. C. E. Fackler, pastor of St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sunday urged all present to check up what, has been done to advance the Kingdom of God on this earth. "In reply to this question, many without thinking will say, ‘I did nothing,’ the Rev. Fackler said. ‘‘That really is what many people are doing toward the advancement of God’s kingdom. "It is a disgrace when the Dol'd asks us what did you do and we must confess in shame, shame that We did nothing. "Recall your actions during the past year. Did you think of doing good? Or did good thoughts rarely enter your mind? When you had good thoughts did you, through the power of God, put them into action? Oh how man fights against doing good. We must force ourselves to do that which we know is pleasing to Christ. "That which should inspire us to think and to do good is not unknown to anyone of us. “If we are not influenced by power from without we will think evil. Out of the heart proceedeth evil thoughts. The natural man will not raise above himself, and the result will be that he will think of himself, become selfish and self con ceited. “For that reason Paul tells us in j this thirteenth chapter of Hebrews: ‘Let brotherly love continue, be ye Kansas City Doctor Invents New Truss New Discovery Heals Rup ture Without an Operation Anew discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for healing ef fects in aii rupture cases, is the latest accomplishment of the well known Hernia Specialist.

Are you tired, nervous and dispirited—hardly able to keep going? Then you should know that these ills are too often due to kidney inactivity. The kidneys are the blood filters.

Value of Truth “The truth will conquer an evil, selfish disposition, it will soften the soul of a sinner. An individual, thus Influenced will not be offended when he is asked to offer the sacrifice of praise to God. Look over the past. What did you do when asked to sac rifice unto the Lord the praises of Thanksgiving? “God knows the heart of man— how deceitful, selfish, covetous and spiritually unenlightened it is. For that reason he has given us the instruction. Just recall how often we knew what was good and what the Lord expected of us, but we op posed His will. The instructions from the Lord should have Inspired us to do good, but what did we do? “That which should also have In spired us to do good, is the need of our fellow men. Remember them that are in the bonds Os sin, remem ber them that are in adversity- If we can see our fellow man in need and then close up our bowels of compassion how dwelleth the love of Christ in us. Since Christ loved us ought we not love one another? The Lord says: “Do good and to communicate forget not for with such sacrifice is the Lord well pleased.” Be willing to sacrifice for the saving of souls. “The love of Christ ought to con strain us to do good. If He loved us ought we not love one another. Since He offered the great satcifice without which there would be no sal vation, ought we not be willing to go out of our way for a soul? “Ought we not be willing to sacri fice our time, to use our talents, to give of our means that a soul might be brought to Christ and the kingdom of God promoted? We have good thoughts, good inten tions, but did we carry them out, what did you -do? “Can you picture Christ standing before you saying:: ‘I have done this for thee but what hast thou done for me?’ There are three sources which ought to inspire us to promote the Kingdom of God here on earth, namely: The instruction from Christ, the spiritual needs of our fellow-men and the sacrifice of our Redeemer. To what extent though are you la spired by these?” the Rev. Fackler asked. THREE MEN TO BE SENTENCED And ex-Postmaster Will Be Arraigned in Gourt. Federal Judge Robert C.

TEMPTATION IS TALKED Bishop Is Speaker At Big Meeting of Y. M. C. A. Sunday.

Big Meeting Sunday aft ernoon at English’s theater. He spoke on “I Am the Law.” “We must acknowledge that it is part cf the divine plan of life to put man under moral testing and give him a free will.

Big-Hearted Benito! Washington, where they “settled” I Italy’s war debt te the United States for 25 cents on the dollar, the Italian delegation hastened to New York to be banqtieted by Thomas W. Lamont and other Morgan bankers and loaned another hundred million dollars, That is one news item. Another comes in an uncensored cable from Italy. The Popolo di Roma, organ of Dictator Mussolini, it ap pears, says it was downright “noble” and “generous” of Italy to pay the United States anything at all because if Italy had refused to pay, the United States had no way to collect. That’s certainly a “noble” way of looking at a debt! Americans, however, will find it difficult to understand. The code of a gentle man is that his word is as good as his bond; and he pays his debts not because he fears a cop with a billy will be sent to collect, but be cause it is not in his make-up to be a dead-beat. His code is not that it is “noble” to square up with his collectors but that it is common dis honesty not to do so. We would prefer to believe the Popolo was voicing the opinion of one individual, and he with an extraordinary kink in his brain. But it is a well-known fact that Premier Mussolini promptly squelches those papers which mis represent him, hence we will be pardoned for asking just how much the Italian government shades the Popolo’s views. The question is not without its importance. Italian bonds to the tune of $100,000,000 are now about to be sold to the self-same American people who, just the other day, were “nobly” permitted by “generous” Italy to shoulder a 75 per cent loss on a previously contracted debt of billions. Does Italy intend to be equally “generous” and “noble” in the future? Incidentally perhaps you have observed how European debt settlement have now been reduced to a regular formula. Debtor nations form to the right. Each in its turn comes on to Washington. There it pleads poverty and cries off paying more than a fraction of what it owes—ranging all the way from 25 to 75 per cent. Then it hurries to New York, where a group of foxy bankers tells the world what excellent shape the debtor nation’s finances are in and makes it anew loan far larger than all it has promised to pay Uncle Sam for dec ades to come. “Noble?” We’d say it’s not so “noble” as it is profitable. No Dictatorship, Thanks SHE American Federation of Labor is on sound ground in declaring its opposition to any legislation that would give full power to the President to reorganize Government de partments, uncontrolled by Congress. It is easy to become impatient with Con gress. Congressmen themselves often grow restless becausft of the cumbersome, clumsy manner in which their own machinery works and feel a desire to scrap the whole thing. More than one must have fleeting moments in which he thinks a benevolent dictator in the White House would be a happy solution for all the problems of Government. But benevolent dictators being about the rarest of birds in natural or other history, no good citizen of any country whose government functions at all is likely to exchange that government for a dictatorship on the chance that it will prove benevolent. We doubt that any wholesale reorganiza tion of the system at Washington, by any man or any committee, would produce a ma chine capable of giving universal satisfaction. But reorganization is going forward all the time. The President and his executive assist ants are helping, through the shifting of bu reaus and redistribution of duties, to obtain more efficiency. Congress is helping—certain ly just as much—by compelling the President to get rid of vicious and incompetent execu tives now and then and by telling the Presi dent, when occasion demands, that men he pro poses to make part of the Government do not History of Diamonds You can get an angwpr to any ques tion of fact or information by writing to The Indianapolis Times Washington Bureau 1322 New York Ave..

From where did the first known diamonds come? The small uncut octahedral diamond crystals set in a very few Roman rings of the fourth century, A. D., which are in the British Museum, represent the only positive evidence that the diamond was known to European world in ancient times. Some indirect evidences such as references in literature seem to indicate that small 'diamonds were sent to Europe from India. Prior to the discovery of the Brazilian mines, India and Borneo were the sources from which diamonds were obtained. measure up to the standard the people have a right to ,expect. Fall, Daugherty, Denby, Forbes, Warren. For a lack of a better way, it seems the improvement of the Government’s machinery will continue along these lines. It is unlikely that Congress will vote to relinquish the con trol the Constitution gives it over the other branches of the Government, no matter how impatient an individual member may become. About Face! LMOST as interesting as the final dispo- sition of the Armitage badge collection is what action will be taken in the future about the lavish badge purchases around the polls. The public will be glad to know whether money expended in such manner and for such purchases violates the corrupt practices act. The prosecuting attorney is busy now with an important enterprise, but one of these days he will have the time to consider the Armitage badges, look them over, admire their texture and typography, and—incidentally—compare them with the law regulating the conduct of elections.—lndianapolis News, Nov. 10, 1925. TTIE (Mr. Duvall) was elected at a regular I 1 election about which there has been no complaint of fraud.—lndianapolis News, Nov. 21, 1925. Taking ’Em Young By Mrs. Walter Ferguson f J NATIONALLY known clergyman re cently advised the boys of his congrega tion to marry girls at least ten years younger than themselves, to take them when they were undeveloped, “so that they will be tractable and can be moulded into noble wives and mothers.” Those words have a strangely familiar ring. They are an echo from the Pilgrim Father days when they took them young, wore them out early and remarried four or five months after the funeral. And that plan worked very nicely, es pecially for the men, in the good old days. They had to pick young wives then be cause under the hard work and child-bearing the poor things did not often last past thirty five and many were the grand old patriarchs who boasted half a dozen brides. (You maj’ verify this by looking into any family geneaol ogy.) And many were the poor little fifteen year-old babies tied to men old enough to be their fathers and whose only earthly rewards were the inscriptions upon the ancient tombs, “Mary, beloved wife of above.” Not that there may hot be happiness in a marriage where the discrepancy in age is even more than ten years, with the seniority on the man’s side, but success depends almost entire ly upon the sort of man the husband may be. The world has changed in a great many ways since the days when the men took young girls to raise, but no change has been so marked as the relationship between married couples. Today the best chance for happiness lies in marrying a person who is near your own age. Be young and gay and giddy together; be mature and earnest and sensible together; be old and quiet and contented together. The twentieth century wife does not in tend to he worked to death like her grand mother often was. She can hold her own with her husband when it comes to looks and activ ity and energy. This is because things have been made easier for hpr. No longer must she slave at household tasks too great for her strength no longer is it expected that she shall assume the garb and behavior of old age be fore youth has gone; no longer is she compelled to bear more children than her physical en ergies will permit. And the new regime brings more happiness to both men and women. The former may not be able to mould noble wives and mothers, but they do not have so many funeral expenses to pay nor to be so often on the loolcout for a new bride to do the housework. Do two teaspoons make a table spoon in measuring for cooking? According to information on house hold weights and measures issued by the United States Bureau of Stand ards, three teaspoons equal one table spoon, level measure for each. Os what disease and when did Napolean Bonaparte die? Os cancer of the stomach. He died on the evening of May 5, 1821. Does the United States Civil Service Commission hold examina tions for clock repairers In the Government service? Such examinations have been held, but none are pending at present. Os what particular species of maple tree is the tree from which the wood known as “Birdseye Maple” is obtained? It is not a species of the maple, but a coimition of the tree. It is generally supposed that this form is caused by buds that do not mature. It is rather unusual, and therefore the wood is valuable. It is found wherever maple trees grow. How old is Zane Grey, the novelist? He was born Jan. 31, 1875, and therefore will be 51 years old next January. What would be the duty on a pair of silk hose sent to Scotland?

Jl ii L- i_L> Ajl Vvi-iAO X laU-LiO A Sermon for Today Text: “Jesus said unto them, ‘Fill the water pots wit hwater.” And they tilled them up to the brim.”— John 2:7. mT was at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, where Jesus turned the water Into wine, which was the first miracle He performed- At first thought It may seem sur prising that the beginning a long series of mircales performed by Jesus, should have consisted of turn ing water into wine. And yet this will not appear strange when the symbolic significance of this miracle is understood. To the old Hebrew mind water symbolized the sorrow, sadness and grief of life, while wine symbolized the Joy/ the happiness and the gladness of life. And by this first miracle Jesus taught that He came to turn the saddness'of life into gladness. Whenever Jesus was going to bless generally he first gave a command. Somehow He links up His power not only with human weakness, but with human endeavor. And so on this occasion He first said to the serv ants at the feast, "Fill the water pots with water.” Strange indeed was His command. And yet, without RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA ■By GAYLORD NELSON COULDN’T STAND SEPARATION CUTVLLIAM DECKER of New |\)LL castle, Ind., whose wife had I I filed suit for divorce, set tled. their domestic difficulties Sat urday by shooting and killing her and himself. He had told relatives that he would rather be dead than separated from his wife. Preventing divorce with a gun may be effectual but at best it Is a rather drastic measure. Last June this husband who would rather be dead than sep arated frim hia wife, beat up his spouse so brutally that he broke her leg, from which injury she never fully recovered. That was ths cause of their estangement, the suit for divorce and the domes tic troubles over which he brooded. Whether his final act prevented the separation he feared can't be determined by ordinary mortals who have no first-hand knowledge of what lies beyond the grave. If there be a literal heaven and heaven over there of the orthodox type his attempt to prevent sepa ration may be a dismal failure. It isn't likely that he and his wife will go to the same place- If nothing of the individual— call It spirit, personality or soul —persists after death his methods of preventing separation is still more unsatisfactory. In any event he took a long chance. On the whole it is better for a husband who can't stand Separation from his wife to lavish a little affection and gentleness on her instead of abusing, beating and crippling her and then trying to effect a reconciliation with a gun. It is simpler to make surk of domestic happiness here than hereafter. WASTE IN CITY GOVERNMENT mOHN L. DUVALL, late truant mayor-elect, an nounces that he will ap point a nonpartisan committee of live business men, to serve with out pay, to make a study of the departments of the Indianapolis city government to eliminate waste and secure greater business efficiency in the administration of municipal affairs. Apparently the mayor-elect be lieves our present system of city government is wasteful and inef ficient- So does the man in the street. His unpaid committee is unlike ly to better the situation. Politi cians, who fatten on the status quo, will resist the adoption of any radical recommendations, and the committee will be just a gesture to pacify public opinion. A similar survey of Indiana State government was undertaken last year. The only visible result of the investigations and delibera tions. of the Governor’s committee was the consolidation of the State library, historical commission and legislative reference bureau under one board. All other suggested re forms were deposited In the ash can by the politicians. Not a name was stricken from the State pay roll. The actual saving in the cost of State govern ment accomplished by this attempt to introduce efficiency and econ omy into State affairs wouldn't pave a mile of State road. Is an unpaid committee, with out legal authority to enforce its recommendations however able its personnel—likely to be more successful in putting the manage ment of Indianapolis affairs on a businesslike basis? If Indianapolis city government Is wasteful and inefficient—which no one doubts, not even Mr. Du vall —why try a half-hearted in troduction of business methods? Why not employ a city manager, an expert in municipal administra tion. and turn the job over to him? What Indianapolis needs in the city hall Is a real marriage of business efficiency and city govern ment, not a temporary flirtation. WHERE WERE THE VIGILANTES? SWO enterprising, masked young gentlemen, armed with revolvers and deter mination, held up the bank at Shelby County, Satur day afternoon. They departed unscathed in the gloaming with approximately S2OO of the bank’s funds. Where ware the volunteer vig ilantes organized in recent months throughout the State by the bank ers to prevent just that sort of thing? Despite that system, whereby an embattled posse of Infuriated ■By Rev. John R. Gunn 1 questioning, “they filled them up to the brim.” "Up to the brim.” Here is an example for us. A serlvce rendered up to the brim. The servants did not stop at pouring in Just a little water, but they filled the pots up to the brim. Our service is not up to the brim, if it is half-hearted and we neglect any part of what we can do. It should never be a question of how little we can give and do, but how much. Our only limit should be our best. How grateful we ought to be for those who are gendering service up to the brim in any good cause. And many such there are, and have been in the past. It was sacrifice and service up to the brim when Bennie, the newsboy, urged the doctors to take off a portion of his skin -to put on a young lady whose skin had peeled off after she had passed through a terrible fire. Bennie died, but the young lady lived. All the great blessings we enjoy today are the fruitage of such sacrificial serv ice. When the pots were filled the Lord blessed the water into wine. And so will He bless up and what we do, when we fill up to the brim our place of service. (Copyright, 1925, by John R. Gunn.) citizens was presumed to spring to arms and riddle bank bandits with perfectly good bullets whenever they appeared In the vicinity of a Hoosler financial Institution, the Boggstown Bank was robbed as easily as a barbecue stand. The incident proves there is no special panacea for bank bandirty. Vigilance committees and re wards of SI,OOO a head, alive or dead, for bank bandits may have some influence on the bank rob bery trade. But the effect is slight. Likewise the horsethief detectives may, in a measure, pro tect Hoosiers from being despoiled of their equines. However, all such special panaceas for specific crimes fail to pan out. The suppression of all forms of criminal activity is best per formed by the regular, recognized, public law enforcement machinery —courts, sheriffs, police and full time professional detectives. The amateurs, of whatever character, who merely dabble at law enfprce ment in their spare time, aren’t the answer to any phase of our crime problem. increase”" IN INSANE mOHN A. BROWN, secretary of the State board of chari ties, reports that there are now 6,024 inmates in Indiana State hospitals for the insane—an in crease of 200 over a year ago. All of the five State asylums are filled to capacity. The figures seem to bear out sociologists, mental hygiene au thorities, eugeniclsts and the like, who declare there is an alarming increase in the number of people afflicted with mental ailments. The strain and speed of modern life is raising havoc with human men tal equipment,'it is asserted, and loss of mind Is becoming more prevalent. Frequently is heard the dismal prophecy that the race is going crazy. Perhaps it is. But not in Indi ana. There has been no increase in the asylum population in this State in the last several years that cannot be attributed to the normal increase in population. And though every State hospital is crowded there is only one in mate for each 500 persons in the State. Probably the apparent Increase in insanity Is due to the fact that in this generation mental sufferers who in previous generations would have been' distributed unnoticed through the general population and cared for by their families are now concentrated in State hos pitals. A degree of insanity that would now put one in an asylum would have made one a court jester in olden times. One in 500 is not an alarming proportion of mental derangement. Regardless of pessimists, reason remains tolerably secure on her throne in Indiana. A-Hunting ’Tis late as the Dickens when father gets in. The town clock strikes two, down the street. So soft is his tread that the drop of a pin could be heard ’hove the trod of his feet. He cautiously hangs up his coat and his lid, and he takes both his shoes off his feet. And then he goes tip-toeing, just like a kid, to the kitchen for something to eat. Yea, dad goes a-hunting for that or far this. He searches around with a will. A lot of good grub’s go ing slowly amiss, while his appetite’s getting its fill. The Ice box is ransacked, the bread can is cleaned. No morsel of food is he Scorning. He’s pork chopped, and breaded, and trackered and beaned. Oh, he’ll get the deuce in the morning. The morning arrives and the missus just sighs. The kitchen, of course, is a fright. When dad asks for breakfast, she calmly replies, “You ate up our breakfast last night." (Copyright, 1925, NEA Sendee, Inc.)

It becomes travesty when an American home on Main St. pre pares to entertain the king- This is just plain burlesque. The most human fun in the pic ture is found when the king quits “kinging” for a day and goes unac companied to Coney Island to have some fun. The “shoots" showing the king and a small bay “shooting the chutes," turn out to be corking good fun.

First National, after seeing him In "Sally,” signed him for other pic tures and the first one to come forth is “Clothes Make the Pirate.” Errol is the man is brilliant. Errol Leon Errol knows hia stage, but it will take time before he becomes a leader on the screen as a comedian. This “pirate” movie belongs to that small group which attempts to elevate the comedy business onthe screen to as high a loyel as the stage. Costume or period comedy is something new on the screen, but it is common on the stage. Such com edy has had an important part In “The Student Prince,” “Rose Marie” and “Blossom Time.” First National and Errol have come forward with a very fine pur pose—that of giving the screen some legitimate comedy work. The start, “Clothes Make the Pirate,” proves that "costume comedy” can be de veloped, provided that an audience comes to the rescue. Errol can be come a leader in anew type of screen fun. There is a lot of funny business on Errol's part in this movie. Dorothy Gish is in the cast, but doesn’t have much of a chance. Not her fault because Errol and his pirates are the chief funmakers.

This is apparent after seeing him in “Where Was I?” Denny demands n story with fun ny situations, and that is just what “Where Wll I?” "frames” It so that Reginald Denny Denny suddenly has a wife. This situa tion is used in various comedy scenes. Os course, Denny gets |he girl he loves and then the fun stops. “Where Was I?" gets its title from the fact that the suddenly appearing wife claims that she married our hero on Jan. 9. 1923. He can't re member where he was on that night, and he fails to get witnesses that can answer the question. At last it develops that our hero first proposed to the girl he loved on that date. Denny is a screen star who de mands "different” material, and that he has ip his new comedy. A leader in the comedy movies game must have material that gives him a chance to develop comedy business. Denny has made big strides In ad vancement In the last year, and he looks “set" for a place near the top of the comedy ladder His success, like all others, will depend upon his vehicles.

The modern Jazz is fast passing the experimental stage and in "Mississippi” a tono i journey, a very definite trend and style was apparent. A balance seems to exist, a mid point between the classical and the Jazz as we have known it before. This gives to the melodics played a life or rather a spirit that seems to echo the trend of modern thought in the direction of action and bright coloring. Whiteman’s orchestra possesses a number of soloists of the first rank. Among these Chester Ilazlett on the saxophone gave a very fine per formance, showing what that in strument, in the proper hands, can be made to do. Hazfttt by the way is an Indianapolis boy. An innovation in the manner of introducing the members of the or chestra was the darkening of the stage and then playing a baby spot on the individual players ns they did a solo part.
