V FINDING that Intellectual pabulum was less appreciated financially" than Just plain, ordinary food, Roy Shenkel of White Hall, 111., has quit his position as educator in a public school there and accepted a more lucrative job as driver of a milk wagon. Well, an old-fashioned formula for making money Is to find what the public in one's community wants most and then sell It to ’em. v * - * . f • - s N ' Christianity Is the negro at Columbia, Mo., who Is charged with passing a forged check to pay his church dues, so very much worse, as far as that check is concerned, than the church attendant one sometimes meets who restricts his Christianity to that one day of the week—Sunday? If Christianity is very deeply seated in a man or woman, it should endure throughout the week at least —Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday and Saturday as well as Sunday; and not be, as in some cases, merely a saving of “one's face" among the other members of one's community. Another Pleasure Banned These are prosaic days. The glory of the “forty-niner” has long since passed. The search for pirate treasure in the isles of the southern seas Is no longer a popular outdoor sport. The gold rush to Alaska has gone with its spirit of adventure. And now, saddest of all, there shall be no more digging by private fleteettves In the estate occupied by Enrico Caruso-at East Hampton, in an effort to find some trace of the $500,000 worth of Jewelry stolen from the Caruso home on June 8. It was an honest work that they were doing—’tis said they dug diligently and well, and that the grounds began to assume the appearance of a great sunken garden, withont the flowers. It was all handwork, for the use of dredgers or ditching machines would have been beyond the pale of professional ethics. But Just about the time when It Eeemed as though the big estate would become but an empty reservoir, Albert Herter. owner of the estate —unsympathetic, unrelenting and utterly opposed to reverting to the of the cave dwellers —wired from Los Angeles that there must be no further excavating. Where the Money Goes The seventy-first annual report of the board of trustees and superintendent of the Central Hospital for the Insane contains some data on the Cost of feeding inmates of a 6tate institution which should be appreciated by the people of Marion county who are allowing 60 cents & day to Sheriff Miller for feeding prisoners in the county Jail. The report shows that for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1919. the cost per meal for officers, attendants and inmates at the hospital was 9.04 cents, or 27.12 cents a day. The report also shows that the entire cost of maintenance per patient was only 8S cents a day. * In compiling the report the board apparently regards this figure as rather high, for it goes to some length to explain the many things that contribute to forcing it to 88 cents. Certainly no apology is necessary if we are to compare the hospital expenses with those of the Marion county jail. For while It costs only 88 cents a day to take care of an Insane patient, and by taking care of the patient Is meant the furnishing of food, rlothing, attendance, medical treatment and proper living quarters, it costs Marion county 60 cents a day for the mere feeding of a jail prisoner. Yet there are politicians in Indianapolis who are so foolish as to think that the public can be'made to regard the present county administration as acting in the interest of good government.

Congratulating Detroi t Among the congratulations Detroit has received on her advance in the last ten years from ninth place to fourth in the ranks of American cities, she no doubt prizes most highly those that have come from her ancient rival, Cleveland. Officially the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce has shown its sportsmanship by extending friendliest congratulations from the fifth city to the fourth, while at the same time promising a continuance of the stimulating competition of the past. True, the Cleveland papers are inclined to be partisan—pointing out that Cleveland has failed to annex its suburbs, with a combined population of 110,000, and asserting that the Cleveland census was short —but that is no more than could be expected under the circumstances. With a growth in population from 456,766 in 1910 to 993,739 in 1920, Detroit has jumped past St. Louis, Boston, Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburg. - - So remarkable a growth must be paid for, of course. Detroit formerly sought to be the most’beautiful city in America. She is no longer beautiful, but on the other hand she is proud of her achievement of the last decade and ambitious to climb higher among the cities; already it is hinted she nurses hopes of overhauling Chicago. And now that the census figures of-jthe cities have been given out, with those that made good- showings Silly congratulated and the others given their chance to state explanations, let us hear something from tbe rest of tho country. What does the census Say about the harvest hands? The New Indiana Guard Indiana is to have anew national guard organization. A slow-moving congress has finally got around to making provisions for such a body. Indiana has been without an adequate guard since th* guard, which was one of the prides o* the state, was called to the Mexican border. The war robbed the state entirely of a home Military organization just at a tim§ wljen pne was most needed. This necessitated the formation of a makeshift militia, which showed the fallacy of anything but a government equipped and directed national guard such as is now proposed. The state militia was of necessity made up of men who were least able to serve the state in case of emergency. The men who would ordinarily have formed the guard were naturally In the army. Consequently, when the militia was called upon for service such service was given only at considerable,cost to private affairs and in some cases it was given grudgingly. Then, as at no other time, was the value displayed of a well-driiled, well-equipped national guard composed of young men who are footloose and ready for service of any duration. When the new national guard is established. It must be an organization measuring up to the military record, of Indiana nd the proud position she holds among the states. V " '' “There will be no politics in the Indiana National Guard,” is a statement made by AdjtoGen. Harry B. Smith and .other members of the conference board. aob. it. x . .

STUART WALKER OBSERVES 400TH PERFORMANCE * Aladdin's Lamp’ at Keith’s—‘Go Ahead' at Lyric—Russell at Rialto

Stuart Walker observed the presentation of ills fiftieth play and the 400tb performance of his company at the Murat last night. j It was a really great night in the tbeater as, the audience, by Its hearty and feunest applause, acclaimed Mr. Walker Sid his players as real friends pals of long standing. At the close of the second act. of the new play, “The Storm Bird," Alfren Potts of this city expressed to Mr, Walker and his players the great friend ship existing in the hearts of the Indianapolis public for him and his players. The modest Mr. Walker was finally located and expressed his deep regatd and love for Indianapolis and, compll inented the players on the splendid way In which they had put over “The Stoma Bird.” .; Flowers went over the footlights for Blanche Yurka and Christabel Hunter and good will of the audience was extended to each of the players. It was a real night In the theater and one that Mr. Walker and those present will never forget. And now for the two outstanding successes of the evening. The “kids.” pardon the expression. Just run away with "The Storm Bir l. ’ We mean by that—Luel Davis and Thomas Kelly ran away with the actin’ honors in brother and sister roles. It's mighty fine to see Miss Davis play the rob* of Imogen • Tetson, the youngest daugher, with all the spontaneity, freedom and energy which the role demands. And what a chance she hsa to dominate the show by the real worth of her acting, especially In a corking good scene In which she attempts to be romantic with McKay Morris. That scene is a juicy morsel and puts spice and dash Into the play. KELLY’S ACTING A GEM OF KF.AI.IKM. Kelly as Garth Totson, the youngest son. gives us one of those rare, natural characterizations of a lad who tfifafca'fce Ts grown up when he-dons bis first evening clothes. He loves;* the character witli a'.! of the natural awkwardness and exagev: ated opinion which such a chap naturally ' possesses. It’s the sort of acting which comes from a thoroughbred anil Thomas Kelly s that, a thoroughbred—lu other words an honest actor striving and obtaining honest effects. We can not refrain from seying again, the “kids” ran away with the .honors. This is not overlooking the splendid work of Blanche Yurka, especially her work In the great third act in which sho suggests the great emotional power which she unquestionably possesses. McKay Morris as Mcrrbhaiop has not had a better suited role this season, although ha does come In during the first act, while a terrific storm Is on, clad in an athletic suit with his knees and limbs exposed. Creditable supporting work is done by Robert McGroarty, Christabel Hunter, Elliott Nugent. Aldrich Bowker In the role of a father, Frank McNeills of Indianapolis, George Sornnes In a role which requires strong acting and that he does in splendid fashion; Judith Lowry at the mother. Donal Colpitts, Oscar Cralk, James Morgan and , John Wray, who contributes a very clever characterization. All In all. from the stage atnrrm to the acting, never has there been a better first night at the Murat “THE ITOIM r.IBD” HAS'KKAL MERIT. At the Murat Inst night “The Storm Bird” by Ifton Calthrop and Roland Pertwee, was presented for the first time on any stage. It turned out to be a very polite affair with sustained Interest from the very first, ending In a surprise situation. The story center* about a stolen p.e.wr! necklace and a nobleman who suddenly enters the Tetson home during a storm. The ending has the needed punch. We predict that “The Storm Bird" will meet with wide approval and will prove easily the most enjoyable and best presented bill so far this season. Opinion. Not to be missed by those who still know how to laugh and iuv willing to laugh. At the Murat all week.—W. D. TL

AT n. F. KEITH'S. To pick a feature out of the offerings at Keith’s this week would he a great deal like trying to decide whether Mary Piekford or Douglas Fairbanks or Charlie Chaplin Is the greatest star of the films. They are all so good ,t depends upon the individual tas’e of the audience which is the best. The bill is opened by the “Royal Sydneys’* In a Juggling novelty. The “Royal Sydneys’’ are so far shore the usual acts of their kind there is no comparison. They are followed by Dalton and Craig in “AJaddtn's Lamp," an amusing little sketch In which the male member of the duet shows what he would wish for If Aladdin’s lamp was a reality today. Tho Clifford Wayne trio are Indians However, that doesn’t mean a bunch of braves all decorated in war paint and feathers. Far from It. On tho contrary, the feminine member wears tho intest Parisian styles while the male would be at home on Fifth avenue. The feature of the offering Is a “brave" scarcely three feet high and apparently 0 or 7 years of age. Mack and Dane In “It Happens Every Day’’ Is one ot ithe brightest spots on n stellar bill. Clever footwork and bright, clean comedy make this act one of the moat worth while seen In a long time. Mack and .Tano have nothing out of the ordinary, bnt even the ordinary enn be made the extraordinary when it Is handled right. Hewitt and Mitchell rail themselves the “two happy hartnonlzers," and we agree with them. .Trhn T.

DUFFIL SPEAKING OF MOTHERS-IN-LAW. How tlie new' bride should address her mother-in-law is a question that is not always to answer. Many young women with mothers of their own do not like to call any one else by this name so rich in tender association*. Sometimes when a very young mother acquires a son-in-law much older than her daughter It is the mother who hesitates at being so dubbed by one almost her own age. Now rest assured if you are one of these. It is not necessary to call your mother-in-law “mother.” Many persons retain the formal "Mrs.” with the name always. And this Is In perfectly good form. Often the mother of a family of grown children has some pet name—sometimes even a diminutive of her own first nam>. The new member of the family often adopts this, though he should be sure that his doing so is n?t regarded as an Intrusion. Remember that a mother-in-law, S'* long as she Is under your roof, should be treated with the same courtesy and politeness that you would show to any other guest. This doesn’t mean, however, that you should relinquish your privilege as hostess, although there are some older women who fee! that they are always heads of their son’s households so long ts

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By ANN LISLE. ”

CHAPTER XX. Getting lunch with Betty started out to be a Jolly intimate affair. We knew that Jim would, want his first dinner to Capt. Winston to be a great success, and when we got the currant jelly out of its glass unbroken in Its rich red translueence, Betty did a little jig. We fairly beamed with housewifely zest when Betty found the melons I had been saving for next morning’s breakfast and started zig-zagging them into an “appetizer.” “Shall I peel the potatoes. Anne, when I've done with the melons? Jim never did like them with their jackets on, you know,” suggested Betty. I didn’t know. And when she continued, In chuckling reminiscence, I began to lose my warm glow of liking for her in a cool spray of feeling “out-of-Ihingg.” “Serving ‘petaties’ in their jackets were the pet vice of the squadron cook. Once when we ate at an infantry mess in the Vosges, Jim almost wept with emotion over the little naked ‘pertaties’ I . . There, the melons are gorgeous! Anne, how are Jim's affairs coming on?” She threw it in casually. But I stiffened at her intrusion into our personal concerns. As well as if she had put

they remain therein. However, this la not the case unless she owns and maintains the home In which the bride and groom have settled. WHAT READERS ASK. “I frequently do business In an office where a young woman who interests me greatly works. May I, with propriety, ask my business friends to introduce us?" This would be perfectly correct unless you know someone outside of business who could make introductions. —Copyright, 1920.

it crudely. I knew Betty meant, Jim a job?” “All right,” I replied almost curtly. H “All right? You said that as If every 1 thing were —all wrong.” Betty came over to my side. She ten* the bread from my hand and swung’ me around to face her. Then she caught me In her arms and gave me a little warm, friendly shake. “Anne —Anne, dear, tell me. I do so want to help you.” Perhaps it was that word “help,” perhaps it was the memory of her knowing how Jim liked his potatoes—but I couldn't respond to Betty. N “My coffee!” I cried. It really was boiling over. I shook off Betty's clinging hands, set the coffee back to keep hot and then turned with a cold reply: “Jim is really quite all right. Ho does an article a month for Haldane's—and he has just accepted a position as inspector in a factory.” “Airplanes?” asked Betty eagerly. “Caps.” j The word came out with a little! explosion. Betty repeated it in uteri astonishment. I ’ “Caps!” 1 “Yes—a very good cap cried, with an air of finality. ” Betty stood staring at me in perplexity. She was holding her right hand against her lips in a way she has—the fire of that red scar against her month. And Betty suddenly seemed childish and appealing as she stood there with her fingers curled out toward me from her open palm. “But, Anne, an inspector has to walk miles. He has to walk all day. Jim’s ankle! It will torture him.” I hadn’t thought of that Betty, pressing her own Bear to her lips, had realized how my boy’s lameness handicapped him. I hated myself for forgetting—l hated her more for remembering!—Copyright, 1920. (To be continued.)
