i.owr.i.L The Indianapolis Star The Things I Hear! Tuesday, July 11, 19GI Sports Financial Classified VOU PROBABLY knew it all along. But it came as a surprise to me to discover in a historical booklet that we aren't living in the original Indiana. There was an earlier one.

I ujuhi mm The original Indana was recognized by that name from about 1763 to the latter part of the lSih Century. It comprised about 5,000 square miles in a triangular tract in what is now West Virginia It was given by the Iroquois Indians to a trading company as indemnity for It's a most useful liquid, but it never should be used in a closed space. I SEE by the papers where a fellow in Enterprise, lives where we all would like to be on Easy Street. That's nothing. We used to have an Easy Street here, too.

Cram's street guide says our Easy Street now is called the 1S00 block of North Moreland Avenue. And Moreland is the first street east of Tibbs. ARTIST Elmer Taflinger and Park Board employes don't know whether they've been flattered or insulted. For weeks, they've been working in Holli-day Park building an ancient Roman or Grecian-tvpe ruins on which to mount the statues the city acquired when Western Electric's Building in New York was razed. Early the other morning, a man driving a trash-hauling truck stopped in the park and asked John Mullen, member of the park board crew, if he could get a job helping tear down "that old ruins." Told it was just being built, he shook his head unbelievingly, and drove away.

SIGN ON a 3S-foot house trailer being pulled on South Street yesterday by a pickup truck in which a Dalmatian occupied the passenger's seat: "We are an Air Force family." SOMEONE was wondering the other day what had become of all the espresso coffee joints that opened so hopefully a while back. Mayoe they just ran out of beatniks. 1- i damages done by predatory bands of savages. The company named it Indiana, or land of the Indians. After the Revolutionary War, both Virginia and the United States refused to recognize the company's claim to the land and Virginia took it over.

Thus the name, Indiana, ceased to exist. When Indiana Territory was formed in 1S0O, the name, according to some historians, probably was borrowed from the earlier tract. If you prefer, maybe it was recreated, not borrowed. ADD THINGS you might not realize: Carbon tetrachloride, such as is used in cleaning clothes and in some fire extinguishers, packs a lethal wallop and should be handled with great respect. It's not a fire hazard, hut it evaporates completely and mixes quickly with the air.

Breathing its fumes can result in acute kidney and liver failure. Also brain damage. A record 13S contestants in 59 acts performed last night before 1.000 spectators at the Rhodius Park sectional of the 13th annual Amateur Talent Contest. Winners of this and seven more sectional competitions will vie for city championship honors at Garfield Park Aug. 7 and 9 at the climax of the month-long talent contest sponsored by The Indianapolis Star and the Department of Public Parks.

Every town crier, every king's herald, every village gossip thought that he was out of a job. But the crying and the heralding and the gossiping went right on." People have created countless ingenious ma Mr.

JOHN DENSON, the Herald-Tribune editor, stated: "Does the important news of the world and the country have to be presented in such a dull way that no one pays any attention to it? Unless you create a desire to read, you can't make up the national mind and then you're really in the soup. I want this paper read not just printed in type." Interesting newspapers are read. Dull newspapers, are dead. FROM A TRADE paper: "Is it vital for would-be newspapermen to go to a journalism school? These days, some editors believe that such education is essential." Ernie Pyle, Herblock, Lippmann, W. R.

Hearst, Horace Greeley and Joseph Pulitzer did not attend journalism schools. What would journalism be without such giants? NEWSCASTER David Brinkley complained: "What I do object to is the ordinary newcaster who just reads something off the AP wire. He doesn't know what it means and he doesn't care. Five minutes later he can be giving the commercial for a mouthwash." Teevee has too many pretty-boy announcers and not enough hard-hitting newspapermen. They are more interested in elocution than information.

Revamping the distribution formula of state motor fuel tax revenue is the key to solving the problems of county highways systems, a special legislative committee was told yesterday. Holding its first session, the Indiana Highway Study Committee was told that the present formula is unfair to the metropolitan counties. Joseph Harrison, engineer for the Howard County highway system, explained that the county share of motor fuel tax funds is based 65 per cent on the total miles of roads and 35 per cent on the number of registered vehicles. "THE METROPOLITAN counties have high traffic den-sity and low mileage," Harrison said. "And the heavily traveled roads are much more expensive to maintain," Harrison said, explaining why he feels the distribution formula is unfair.

He said he was not advocating a bigger share of the motor fuel tax revenue for counties, but a change in the distribution of the funds that now are divided among the Donald L.

The value of free journalism cannot be measured by the progress of technology but by the ability of the journalist. JOSEPH PULITZER the publisher, declared: "If the editorial opinions of a newspaper are to be sound, meaningful and influential, those declarations must rely on the most complete, unrestrained, accurate account of the consequential events of the day." It's not enough for an editorialist to be a superior sharp-shooter he must aim at the right targets. Weatherman-Says Nights To Stay Cool a i lis?

The study committee, headed by Senator Paul J.

Baker, president of the Board of Public Works, officially opened the $77,521 project that connects English Avenue and McCarty Street via Cedar Avenue. THE FIRST PHASE of the project was completed in the summer of 1959 when Oliver Avenue was widened from Warman Avenue to Harding Street. In 1961 McCarty Street was reconstructed from Kentucky Avenue to Union Street and New Jersey Street to Virginia Avenue. An additional traffic lane was constructed on the Oliver Avenue bridge over White River. int.

An 11-year-old Marion youth died at 4:30 p.m. yesterday in Marion General Hospital of wounds suffered at 1:50 p.m. when he was shot in the head with a .22 caliber rifle.

The victim was James Reeves, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Reeves of Marion. Police said he was shot by 16-year-old John Wayne Fort of Marion, when the rifle accidentally discharged as Fort was loading it. The bullet entered young Reeves' head above hi right ear and came out the other side.

The accident occurred on a railroad trestle off Sand Pike, south of Marion, where the boys were playing, authorities said. "Dr. Crane, what is wrong with me? I try to dress in the latest styles.

GIRLS, THAT IS the time when you can deftly get the boy to enjoy your company and begin to lean upon you for emotional support. Just remember that everybody has this famous tattoo branded across his chest in capital letters: "I want to feel important!" So be lavish with honest compliments. Build up his ego.

Praise his masculinity. Comment favorably on his broad shoulders or masterful handling of an automobile. BUT GIRLS, be on guard and don't forget the role you are playing and thus show boys that you are crazy for a wedding ring. Remain enticingly aloof. Keep them at arms length as much as possible and if they protest they love you, shake your head and tell them you feel you should continue your schooling to become a teacher, nurse, missionary or whatever your altruistic goal may be.

My real problam for four years was gas and heartburn. X-rays showed nothing, but at last the mystery was solved: I am allergic to corn, malt and lettuce.

And so many pastries have corn sirup and malt. If any of your readers i'U'j By BOB COLLINS The old vacation season is jumping and Americans are zooming off to all sorts of exotic places in search of relaxation and bargains. To put the cap of success on any vacation, you must return lugging some monstrosity you picked up as an absolute steal from a curio shop dealer for twice its retail value. Money American tourists lose on bargains every year undoubtedly keeps half the world solvent. But the great desire to haggle with an Arab over a piece of genuine, handmade rug (loomed in Norfolk.

Va.) tn some Far Eastern bazaar is one of the great reasons for foreign vacations. THERE ARE PLACES in the American West as hot and tractless as Africa. Some accommodations in Missouri and Kansas can be every bit as "quaint" as those on the side streets of Rome. And the language in Boston is as perplexing and exciting as anywhere in the Orient. But no bargains.

It must be admitted, there are some tempting Indian curio shops in the old West. But most of us have regarded Indian bargain sellers with suspicion ever since their ancestors conned the Dutch into buying Manhattan Island for $28 worth of trinkets. SO WE AMERICANS, as we fly away to get cheated by blind peddlers in Bombay and sweet little old ladies in Paris, can be proud of the fact the greatest of all such swindles was conceived by our own noble redskins. The chief who pulled off the Manhattan Island caper still is remembered around the Via Condotti, the tailor shops of Savoy and the Swiss watch works as the Babe Ruth of his trade. And there is much evidence to authenticate the claims of his supporters.

Just think. It has been 300 years and Manhattan Island still isn't worth anything to an Indian. The baubles, they probably sold to some tourist for three times their worth. It is doubtful if anybody will nick you that good this season. But, fellow Americans, be careful.

Don't be taken in. Don't let appearances fool you.
