Nebuchadnezzar, who viewed Babylon from his palace, would enjoy the picture here, with all its temples, shrines, monuments, and tree-line- d avenues. Here are restful parks and floral displays, quite as satisfying to many as were the hanging gardens by the Euphrates; and here is a war memorial as imflat-roof- ed pressive as any temple raised by Babylonians. No one great city, however, dom- inates Indiana; Chicago pulls at it on the north, Cincinnati and Louisville on the south. Yet Indianapolis, its capital and nearly its geographic center, is the seat of Hoosier power. In 1820 a small spot was cleared of forest here, and the capital later moved from Corydon, in the south. One wagon, two weeks on the wilderness trails, hauled all the young states papers, furniture, books, and money. From the streams men seined fish in such quantities that wagonloads were fed to hogs. Settlers increased ; the national road came through from the East, driving west toward the Missouri. d movers multiplied. Some days saw hundreds pass in covered wagons, freighters, stagecoaches, often with women or girls driving the teams while men and boys herded other animals after the wagons. Crossroads for Highways. Today- Indianapolis stands, a typimidwestern city, cal, intersected by four national highof all ways used by three-fourttranscontinental motorists. High above the city rises Americas largest neon aviation beacon, usually visible from 75 miles away. About the city runs the first belt-lin-e railway built in America, and Union station with the seven-acr- e elevated tracks accommodates 40 trains at once. Every 24 hours, 82 mails by air, rail, and truck-re- ach the city; and it averages a convention a day five days out of every week the year round. One auditorium seats 10,000. What a change since Henry Ward Beecher preached here in his small church, and edited his farm paper! ' Get up early, any morning, and you see some 500 trucks coming into town from all directions, hauling hogs, cattle, calves, and sheep to the largest stockyards east of Chicago. Among world grain markets the one here ranks sixth, and as a cash mart it leads in the United States. Some 840 factories make many things, from insulin and inner tubes, automobiles and canned food, to birdcages and popcorn machines. One shop can make 5,500 bicycle tires every day. Another makes chains rchains that went with Admiral Byrd to the Antarctic; chains for the first Wright plane; for the dirigibles Macon and Shenandoah; for battleship hoists and elevators; chains for 40 foreign countries. Doorbell ringers all over the nation sell silk hosiery made here, while another product is advertised by a singing barbdr who fills the air with saponaceous rhapsody. Armored cars for the shah of Iran; trucks to haul pipes that carry oil from Mosul to the Mediterranean; hams and bacon for the worlds breakfast they originate here. Center for Literature. If wastebaskets gave up their dead, what a place a great publishing house in Indianapolis would be to trace Indianas literary career! It has bought and published many a manuscript which brought fame to West-boun- - well-balanc- ed hs a hitherto unknown writer. Not only Hoosiers, but writers from all over the Union have been launched by this house. Long ago it started Mary Roberts Rinehart, whose first work, The Circular Staircase, other houses had ignored. Lately it published Oil for the Lamps of China, which brought fame to Alice Tisdale Hobart. Look over its lists, old and new, and you are astonished at the millions of books issued from this plant. Charles Majors When Knighthood Was in Flower sold more copies than did Uncle Toms Cabin. This firm, putting on what James Whitcomb Riley called its literary overalls, published every book the famous Hoosier poet ever wrote, and all without ever a written contract! It introduced Harold MacGrath to the world with The Puppet Crown, and Meredith Nicholson duth The Main Chance and The House of a Thousand Candles. Other titles are remindful of days gone by. Here Brand Whitlock brought The Thirteenth District; Emerson Hough his Mississippi Bubble; Anna Katharine Green, The Filigree Ball; George Randolph Chester, Young Wallingford ; Zona Gale, - Romance IsAde, The Slim Prinland; GeorgeDerr Biggers, Seven cess;toEarl Keys Baldpate; Ring Lardner, Gullibles Travels; and Irving Bacheller, The Light in the Clearing. Because of its early conspicuous success with fiction, fiction especially is associated in many minds with the publishers. But its contribution in other lines, aside from its law and educational publications, shows scores of titles on subjects from Backward Children to The Chinese too many to list here. Great Chemical Laboratory. Carved on the stone front of a great laboratory at Indianapolis are the same . chemical symbols used by ancient alchemists who took them from the Chaldean who thought the earths metals were related to the planets! Hence such old planetary names for drugs as lunar caustic and saturnine poison. Yet look into this plant and see what incredible strides chemists have made since the dim, distant age of alchemy, quackery, and .philosophers stones! In this temple of scientific research and in the giant production plant attached to it, where machines roll 500,000 pills a day and grind tons of strange things, from dandelions to bovine stomachs and livers, you meet a thinking brigade of bacterichemists, pharmacists, ologists, and, medical investigators representing the best scientific brains of many lands, from England to China. How to turn new ideas, theories, and discoveries about medicine into practical use is the business of this vast industry. It worked with the Toronto Insulin committee and with the Harvard Pernicious Anemia committee to put their drugs quickly into doctors hands. . Here is not only pure research in many things, from toad poisons to Chinese herbs, but such problems as packing millions of doses of ground liver in capsules instead of vials. In plain English, here in Indiana is an astonishing example of how highly organized, efficient business takes up where science leaves off. Jenner learned long ago how to vaccinate against smallpox, but it takes huge capital and infinite skill to make enough vaccine and supply it fresh to the whole world. But for such mass production of drugs, chemicals, and medicines, we could not check or control infectious disease and epidemics, despite the great discoveries of Koch, Pasteur, Lister, Sir Ronald Ross, Schaudinn, Von Wassermann, and Ehrlich. mid-weste- mass-producti- , ' Colddeck Miss of get Recommends, indorsing through everypractically g.

I always figured the breed was produced by crossing a rat terrier on a German compound verb, and I still believe you could combine usefulness with their natural comedy by training them to retrieve collar buttons from under low bureaus. I indorse the phrase of the mathematical sharp who said a dachshund was half a dog high and a dog and a half long, but I claim Captain Mike Hoggs chauffeur, Mose, coined the best' description yet.

Hunting in Texas. so hard even, the P'seagullsraining were trying to get in the clubhouse. So the ducks went away somewhere, out of the weather. So the hunters, who were less intelligent than the ducks, came back from the blinds dripping like so many leaky hot water bottles. After being bailed out, we sat down to vittles nothing unusual, just the customary club dinner. All we found on the menu was beef hash, duck stew, liver and onions, country smoked sausage and homemade headcheese, also hot biscuits, com pones and rice cakes; likewise turnip greens, rice, sweet potatoes, squash, snapbeans and eye hominy; moreover, six kinds of pickles, preserves, jellies and jams; besides stewed pears, apple pie, papershell pecans and various fruits. Then Mrs. Jacob Smothers, the club hostess, came in to say that, if anybody in the future craved anything special, shed try to fix it up and wondered why such of her gorged guests as werent too far gone uttered feeble laughter.
