New Service for Times Readers In its efforts to be as useful as possible to its more than 100,000,000 people, the government of the United States is continually carrying on practical investigations in many, fields. Frequently the investigations produce results of great value, but the people generally do not profit by the stores of knowledge thus acquired until the new discoveries work tueir way into common knowledge by slow processes. Clearly the public is entitled to secure benefit promptly from the work done for it by the government In pursuance of its purpose to broaden in all practical ways the servico which it performs for its readers. The Indiana Daily Times has established an information bureau at Washington from which to disseminate facts about the government and knowledge discovered or collected by government agencies. This bureau's resources of information are as great as the resources of the government, since it is in touch with all government agencies, and its facilities enable it to pass on to readers of The Times the results obtained by the government investigations and experiments. The service is offered to all readers of The Times, without charge. Any one sending a 2-cent stamp for postage to The Indiana Daily Times Information Bureau, Washington, D. C., maw obtain facts bearing on every subject in regard to which inquiry is made. Inquiries will be answered , by personal letter. Questions and answers that are of general interest w ill be published in The Times, with the questioners’ names omitted. The information bureau will also send out pamphlets and other government publications when available. * The Indiana Daily Times offers thi3 servico to its readers in the expectation not only that they will profit by the information thus secured, but that they will gain additional light as to the value to them of the system of enlightened government under which they live. The Federal Reserve Act Nothing appears to be sacred to the senatorial dynasty that wrote the flatform of the republican party at Chicago. Not content with having spilled its envious venom over the misfit and meaningless jfianks that it found might match its hatred of the success of the democratic war administration, the cabel undertook to impugn the integrity of the nation as a whole, to cast aspersions on its credit and promote, if possible, a further selling of Liberty bonds by purchasers who become alarmed at the manipulation of these securities in the speculators’ markets. The republican platform says of the functioning of the federal reserve board: , ‘The results have been a greatly increased war cost, a serious loss to the millions of people who, in good faith, bought Liberty bonds and Victory notes at par, and extensive postwar speculation followed today by a restricted credit for legitimate industrial expansion.’’ It is, of course, silly to deny the very evident false imputation of these ‘‘result*’’ to the functioning of the federal reserve board, under whose gMidance the finances of this nation not only withstood the demands of war, but of accompanying unparalleled industry. But the asserted “results" are so fallacious that it must have required remarkable indifference to truth to set them down as a part of the republican platform. How war costs could have been increased by postwar action of the federal reserve board is too much of a mystery even for the republican senators to attempt to explain.
That there is or has been any depreciation in the value of the Liberty bonds or the Victory note Is, of course, absurd. That legitimate industrial expansion has been restricted is open to the greatest doubt and will not be admitted in financial centers where sound expansion has never failed to attract credit and where a distinction is made between industrial expansion and speculative building. The truth about the republican dictum on the financing of the war is that envy of the federal reserve act's beneficial results has overcome good judgment Tfce federal reserve act is a democratic measure, conceived and written into law by democrats. It has forever ended the ability of the financial interests that control the republican party to produce a panic over night and Its success in the strain of the great war has ma<fe it a pillar u t strength around which the senators may only yap in their chagrin. Will the republican party dare assert a willingness to abolish the tederal reserve banking system? Does the senatorial dissatisfaction with its "results'' prompt the contemplation of its amendment? If so, why does the senatorial!/ dictated platform content itself with a few unfounded criticisms and a final declaration that “the federal reserve system should be free from political influences?’’ Does the fact that it has proved such a boon to this country as to become a strong political argument for the democratic rari' make it so J'i;tasteful to the republican senators? Os Various Kinds There has been considerable comment in relation to the woman who smoked a cigaret in the smoking car of a New York train, but mighty little comment in regard to men in street cars who cross their legs and stick Iheir dusty or muddy shoes into the aisle that they may obtain thereby i free polish from the skirts of the women who are forced to pass them; or of the street car patrons who so spread themselves over the seats as to deprive others of seats to which they are justly entitled; or the passenger who persists in sticking his elbow into the solar plexus of his standing neighbor; or the passenger who holds up a long line of persons because he has nothing closer to a 5-cent fare than a $5 bill. Something New in Peoria The city workhouse and house of correction at Peoria, 111., are to be closed on July 1. I In the "old days” when Peoria was the greatest distilling center in the •orld the workhouse, with an average of eighty-five inmates daily, was a ‘paying institution,” but since the dry law went into effect prisoners have >een dwindling until there was no reason for maintaining the place. The Peoria council has directed city officials to<wUer into a contract vith the county jail for accommodations for such prisoners as the city nay have, and the old workhouse, which has been doing duty for forty rears, goes out of business. \ Slow Long—or How Short? How long are the skirts to be on the fair bathgrs on Chicago's mQch-alked-of public bathing beaches? Assurance is given that there must be skirts, but information apparntiy has not been given out as to whether they shall be as those that grandmother wore or as assumed by the sportive members of soms revues; and likewise there is no assurance that they shall be measured In feet inches or on a percentage basis, so to speak, of \he Individual wearer.
YO-HO-HO, PIRATES AGAIN SAIL THE DEEP SEA Some Lover Is Lew Cody—Doug Is a Riot—Joy Wants Love
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and go to the movie this week. If you want to live your youth over again the place for yon is ‘‘Treasure Island,” with its pirates and bidden treasure, at English's. If you want your funny-bone tickled drop into “The Circle and howl at the antics of Doug Fairbanks in ‘‘The Mg’ lycoddle.” If you feel the need of a little love and a heavenly moon take a seat at the Ohio and see -Lew Cody put on his love scenes. Then if you desire something rather serious go to the Alhambra and see Beatrice Joy in “The Invisible Divorce." .T. Warren Kerrigan also plays the love game In “No. 99 at the lets; Bert Lytell has a thrilling time in “Alias Jim. my at the Colonial, Louis Bennlson has a western role in “High Pockets" and Hope Hampton sacrifices the head of her husband in “A Modern Salome." -J- -!- -!* “TREASURE ISLAND" APPEALS TO YOUNGSTERS AND THEIR PARENTS. Remember the good old days of your youth when you read in breathless haste about Jim Ilawktns, Bill Bones. Black Dog. Long John Silver and the rest of the pirate crowd in Stevenson’s “Treasure Island ?” Gee, that feelln’ which crept over one as he turned the pages of this great story of adventure was the stuff which stirred the imagination and caused us all to dream great dreams of adventure. That same feeling comes over one while viewing the movie version of Stevenson’s novel, now at English's. %'{m PrSi Ip Charles Ogle, as I-ong John Silver, in “Treasure Island.” The picture has been carefully and painstakingly presented and the romantic spirit and sing of the story has been well preserved. Shirley Mason, with her black bobbed hair, makes a nappealing Jim Hawkins, who is so badly handled by the pirate crew. The entire pirate crew from Bill Bones down to Long John Silver, the friend of Jim. looked the part of the demons of the sea and they have a cruel and wicked look about them. The eld “pirate” ship used in the movie may never have carried any real pirates, but It certainly looks like a devil ship in this/ movie. A unique bit of stage setting Is used for the scene* of Benbow tavern and shows the splendid advance being made in movie scenery. Opitdon—“Treasure Island” revives !he

memories of youth and is a noteworthy attempt to film a famous novel. Tt is a compliment to the producing genuis of the Paramount Artcraft people. At English's all week, in addition to “The Sunshine Revue,” a girl act. -I- -!- -!- DOUG FAIRBANKS IN * “THE MOLLYCODDLE.” Here is one pippin of a picture. That's Just what “The Mollycoddle” is with Doug Flairbnnks. To our way of thinking this is the snappiest, speediest and funniest thing Doug Fairbanks In “The Mollycoddle.” which Fairbanks ever attempted to do and will make his position on the screen even more secure. It’has the regular Fairbanks punch to it, as he Jumps from a high clip on to the tiptop of a tree to get the villain; swims the sea and is caught in a :i*b net and imped into a bin with lots of fish and lti content to use a nice little fish for a pillow while Doug takes a snooze in waiting for more adventure. He has chance to use his fists and he not only knocks the villain “cold,” but rams bltn through the wall of a house and then Jumps through the opening right on top of his opponent. Some of the scenes take place on a yacht of a diamond smuggler and then the scene shifts to the great Arizona desert with real Indians aiding the comedian in lots of fun. Tfcls Fairbanks picture is as wholesome and as pure as ■% new born babe and shows that the screen's leadtng fnnmaker does not have to rely on smut or suggestivenesa to give to the film world the best of comedies. We could rave at length at Fairbanks' work in this movie, because It is as refreshing as the ocean's breeze and as original as hotel hamburger tseak. Opinion Undoubtedly “The Mollycoddle” is the funniest snd best movie laughproducer that Fairbanks has ever produced. to he missed. At the Circle all week. LEW CODY IS A FINK LOVER. We wish we could do it as well as Lew Cody Joes it in “The Butorfly Man.’’ Meaning his love making. For Low makes cli the different kinds of love in tills piet'Jie. An be Is s-.i< e.afui every time, for all the women ‘‘fair’ f >• him. “The Butterfly Man” ts a fluttering from one flower to another in the garden of "Society.” never satisfied long with any one of them. He meets the same glad reception everywhere, ezeept from the husbands.
THE WHEN STORE
Nevertheless, he is faithful to his mother and two sisters, whom he loves. An heiress is among those who are in love with the Butterfly, and is not hard for him to win. But her father is more a man of the world, and refuses to give his consent to her marriage to the Butterfly. Cody's affairs become rather tangled, his admirers getting in the way of his marriage, and put him In rather an awkward position. Cody’s -acting here is fine, and he adds to his growing reputation with this production. He has an excellent cast, including Louise Lovely as the heiress, Alec Francis, who admires the Butterfly on account of his love for his mother, and Rosemary Theby, as one of the “conquests." Opinion—This is a good story, worthy of Cody's efforts to make it what It is, his best production . May be seen at the Ohio this week. -i- -!- -!- LEATRICK JOY AT THE ALHAMBRA. Beatrice wants to be loved. She Is cast as a neglected wife in “Thu Invisible Divorce,” and continually waits for her husband to become the lover that he had been. Walter McOrail Is the husband who takes his wife’s love for granted, but cannot see any romance to marriage. The love threads become tangled when another couple appears on the domestic horizon. Grace Darmond is the other woman. She is wealthy, and imagines that she is in love with McGrall. She gives him his chance to become successful, and In return expects his love. He is successful, but he finds that he must make amends for his neglect of his wife. Both couples find happiness after all the threads hnd become untangled. Walter Miller is another member of the cast. Now at the Alhambra. BERT I.YTELL. Before Bert Lytell became a movie fad, he was leading man for Irene Fen wick in “Mary s Ankle," the stage version of that farce. He also had considerable experience in stock productions, making bts screen debate Jn “The Lone Wolf," but his best movie work was done in “The Right of Way.” It was that picture* which probably really established him on the screen. Lytell Is being presented at the Unionist this week in a movie adaptation of “Allas Jimmy Valentine,'* a crook play which was enjoyed on the stage. The story opens with Valentine serving time for alleged safe crackin', hut he refuses to admit to the warden that he can open a safe. For not making the warden a confident, Valentine And* it hard sailing at the prison and even when released prison detectives are placed on his trail. In the big scene of the play, Valentine opens a vault to save the Ufa of a girl who had been locked In tbe vault. A love story Is also woven Into the main theme. -I- -I- -IREGENT. Lon is Bennlson and Katherine MacDonald have the principal roles In "High Pockets,” now on view at the Regent. It is a story of the efforts of an eastern girl who attempts to avenge the death of her brother by a band of lawless cattle tblev.* in tbe west. The bill includes Snub Pollard in "Ail In a Day.” ••A MODERN SALOME." An artist uses fc'.s wife as hi* model of '‘Salome” and sbe become* known un der that name in the Latin quarter. She doe# not appreciate the devotion and love of her husband and sacrifices
her husband’s love in a manner simllaz to the historical Salome who caused a bead to be sacrificed. That is the Story of “A Modern Salome.” Hope Hampton plays the role of the wife, who sacrifices her husband’s love on the altar of selfishness. On view at Mister Smith's. VAUDEVILLE. Meryl Prince’s girls and Johnny Ray ns “.Tiggs” In the cartoon comedy, “Bringing Up Father," make up the double headliner at the Lyric. “Jiggs" i|lso appears daily in The Times.

The Three White Kuhns, a singing act, is the headliner at the Broadway this week. -I- -i- -ITHE MURAT. “The Show Shop,” with Lael Davis in the leading role, is the current offering of the Stuart Walker players at the Murat. -I- -i- -!- THE ISIS . J. Warren Kerrigan has moved over from the Alhambra to the Isis In "No. 99.” a convict story, and Is view at the lllis. The story gives Kerrigan a chance to do some of those pretty love scenes for which he is noted. Spoken of before in this space. Represents Local Union at Boston Thomas M.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life By ANN LISLE. ;
N CHAPTER LXXV. That sweetness didn’t fail her when she bade Betty good night. Never had I seen Betty more distant than she was to Evvy and Carlotta Sturges, but both she and Terry were cordial to Pat Dalton. The man had undoubted charm. And oddly enough I found myself pitying him in spite of his splendid good looks, high spirits and his air of having at least money enough to patronize, the best of tailors and belong to the most exclusive club in town—for, on saying goodby to Capt. Winston, he offered to send him a fortnight’s card to the Patroons! “I wish you hadn’t accepted, Terry,” said Jim, as soon ns we had established ourselves in the captain's ear and were turned on the homeward road. “Why, Jim! The man Is a jolly sort—-well-bred and charming. Os course, if it annoys you I’ll cut him—but he seems a very decent chap. What’s wrong?” Jim’s voice cut through the darkness like a keen knife: "Dalton hnppetis to be the husband of my sister Virginia. She has left him. Virginia is a proud woman—the thing must torture her. She has been in the west for a yfear. She gets back tomorrow or next day. I don't want her flicked on the raw by hearing my friends speak of him." Tb sentences were wrung from him one at a time. Capt. Winston was English enough to be rnther helpless in the face or' so much emotion: / "Oh, by Jove, old chap ” he cried in inarticulate fashion. But Betty saved the day. “Jimmie, old pal, neither Terry nor I would dream of making friends with a man who had hurt you and yours. This Dalton man doesn’t count. You'll let me meet—Virginia soon, won't you, lad?” Betty always knew Just wh'at to say. I could feel Jim’s tense muscles relaxing. In a wave of misery It came over.

me that I hadn’t before known anything about Virginia save that she and Phoebe, youngest of the Harrisons, were traveling In the west. This first intimate glimpse of my husband’s family had been shared with Betty and Capt. AVinston. And he realized my feelings—or, perhaps, better still, because he needed me to share his—Jim reached out and took my hand between both of his. I nestle,-* in against his shoulder and set my lips, with sudden idolatry, on the band that lay above mine. In the course of bitterness and unhappiness—out of the gloom of the night it seemed that a perfect moment had been given to Jim and me.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
