THIEVES took a tank full of gasoline from an automobile on Churchman avenue and passed np the machine. Time may come when gas 1b worth more than car. FROM THE STANDPOINT of the headline writer, C-O-X has a decided advantage over H-A-R-D-I-N-G; four letters to be exact ‘What Is to Be Done?* , “What Is to be done?" County Commissioner Joseph G. Hayes inquires iia.intlvp.ly concerning concerning the Jail situation. Judging from the past performances, or rather lack of performance, the answer is—nothing. The county council was “invited" to meet yesterday to take up the jail situation which under the circumstances could certainly be considered an emergency. * The council didn’t show up. County commissioners and council have been warned repeatedly of conditions at the jail growing from bad to worse. Some time ago they employed an expert to go through al the county institutions and make recommendations. Concerning the jail this expert made some reasonable suggestions, not the least of which contemplates quarters for women In a building other than that in which the men are housed. Now that these and other important recommendations have been made, what can the county be expected to do about them? Nothing, if the past is any indication. _ Twenty-four prisoners have walked out of the jail, overpowering the lone watchman. Now the county officials do not seem even to be In a mood to lock the cage to keep in the remaining birds. In fact they appear to treat the escape of twenty-four prisoners as an every day occurence of no particular consequence. Probably the only thin* that would bring about action would be a kick from the sheriff that he is losing his fees because of a scarcity of prisoners. William Jennings Bryan A man may he th'e most loved and popular man in the hearts of the members of his party and millions of others, yet be a political failure. Proof of this statement was demonstrated In the wonderful ovation given William Jennings Bryan at the democratic national convention, when he proposed several planks or changes in the platform by the resolutions committee. That he is loved by the people was evident to every person at the convention, and so evident to Bryan himself that he stood on the platform and cried. "While Bryan has been wrong on many questions and always has been considered a theorist and not wholly practical politically yet he lives in the hearts of the people of this country as no other man since the days of Lincoln and McKinley. Like Roosevelt, Bryan always has been fearless in fighting on the moral sidq of every question. Up to the last few years the democratic party had been considered the wet party of the United States, but he fearlessly took the side of prohibition and fought until he won, and will go down in history as the father of prohibition in the United States, revered and loved by more people for the good that he has done than any other man who ever lived in America, possibly in the world. To have been elected President of the United States would not have added one bit to his glory, although it might have satisfied his personal ambitions. The mistakes he might have made as president would only >vve detracted from his place In history. He has been a savior to the women and children of America and has followed the teaching of Jesus Christ, who said, “Suffer little children to come unto me." This is possibly the last national convention in which Bryan will play a very active part, but the moral principles for which he baß stood and succeeded in forcing his party to adopt will live forever.

Should They? In view of the fact that the Indians, who are really of the first families in the United States, adorn themselves with paint—lavishly and a bit crudely to be sure —why should not the young woman of the present day paint; or, on the contrary, why should she? Paint, in the feminine sense, herein means the gentle and artistic application of rouge—not the violent swabbing on of more red color like perchance the early efforts of an apprentice scene painter. . Some defend the practice, which really seems to be rather general as far as one’s wife can discern, while others have entered upon a campaign against the use of such cosmetics. The utter futility and lack of taste in painting the lily has been referred to at times; but would the average woman want a face like a lily? Possibly she would prefer a complexion such as has frequently been referred to as “peaches and cream”—a-sort of delicate blending of the pink blush of health and a pale clearness where there should be no color, such as the tip of one’s nose. Some take the position that It Is merely a matter of attire or adornment, like the rose in the hat and the rose in the cheek, even though both be artificial. Some contend that not all the girls who use rouge do their work well But would this same contention still hold good as to the man who persists in wearing his hat when he works? Also is seems as though it might be deprived of all standing if the rouge were so applied that there was no chance of Its slipping. And who can say that It Is not an addition to the beauty of many women, when properly applied, though possibly this does not apply to one’s wife? But anyway it’s a feminine question, to be settled in a feminine way, without the Intervention of mere man who probably doesn’t know tho rouge’s there anyway. Risky It is a happy scheme, in theory, which has been hit upon by the famer near Kokomo, who is getting wives for single farmhands, because he wants farmhands but doesn’t want single ones. He’s been doing it by advertising, it is explained, and now has a list of a thousand prospects, of feminine sex, but if he has worked out any scheme for keeping the fair ones from his farm when it is found that he doesn’t need a thousand farmhands, it has not yet been disclosed. Nor have any explanations been forthcoming as to what qualifications are required. It appears that the wishes of the single man are consulted as to his matrimonial preferences; but that seems rather a weak, futile method. Take, for example, the single matter of the color of the feminine locks deßired —some folk might call that same head of hair, gold, or bronze, or brown tinged with gold where touched by a ray of sunshine — or Just plain sorrel. Possibly after all it’s a safer plan that is being employed by farmers near Petersburg, Ind., where schoolboys are being employed in the harvest fields, and the peril of tromping around in Cupid’s domain is avoided. Sugar-Coated Morals “And then the Prince bravely entered the castle to fight the ogre and rescue the Princess ” Follows a chorus of "ohs” and “ahs.” Do you remember them —the fairy tales of childhood days? You can’t forget them! Nothing is more dear to the heart of the youngster than the little illusions in the form of stories told at bedtime. Strictly speaking, these stories may not exactly accord with the truth, but they have easily as much power for good as some of the weightiest—and dryest—tmths. For instance, a child is told that “honesty Is the best policy.” He nods his head sleepily. He doesn’t understand it. But put it in the fbm of a fairy tale. Tell him a story of princes and tallies and dragons and knights with the moral that honesty is the best policy. He'll remember the lesson much longer, will grasp It much better, will follow it much more faithfully. Proving that all of us —young and old —like our morals sugar-coated I

The Right Thing at the Right Time By MARY MARSHALL 8. DCITIA — (SUMMER TEMPTATIONS. There Is always the temptation in warm weather to let down a little in lujtier* u! rtlquet. It 1* easier to sit pp properly at t! table and manage one’s' knife and fork with care when it ’# cool enough for comfort than when the mercury stands ninety In the eh.ule and you are Talriy fuelling with beat. The beat is enervating and ha* takenfrom you that starch which Is necessary to achieve really perfect manners But remember this summer that miai.ei* are fur less difficult than they used to be. One can now be suitably clothed f#r any time of day and still be jomfortable. A man can wear a Palm Beach suit properly anywhere la extremely warm weather. When he had to stick to his heavy dark woolen 3utts then there may have been reason why he should go in shirt •leevea, but with the Palm Beach coat thia is not necessary. Moreover, it 's quite possible for him to wear an unstarched shirt and a belt strap, thus eliminating the necessity for suspenders, and this get-up passes muster for almost any Informal daytime wear In summer. Remember, too that It la far better to wear a negligee soft collar and to wear It fastened than to wear i stiff starched collar undone ut the neckband. Copyright. 1920.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By DAVID CORY.

In the latest Story we left little Puss Junior In the castle of the Giant of the Beanstalk, and you remember our little traveler was Just about to recite one of his adventures. Well, just wait a minute, and you shall hear what he told that dreadful big giant. The first thing Puss did was to hang up his hat on a peg behind the door, and then he sat down near the giant and commenced to tell him a story and for fear that he will tell one of the stories I have Just told you I won't repeat what he said. And when he had finished the giant roared: “You will travel far and wide, my friend, before yoc find your fortune.” I suppose Puss had aald that he was in icarcb of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, or maybe Captain Kidd's treasures, or a war loan, or something just as wonderfnl. And after the giant aald that he puffed away on his huge pipe, and the cloud of smoke that arose was as big as that from a factory chimney. Ism Puss didn't care. Ob. my, no! He whs used to all sorts of giants and fairies —r-’ T'*' "f " ?— * p j — ~— Out of the Oven Came Jack Himself. and other people, so bo leaned back in bis chair end curled his whiskers and grinned and grinned, and I guess he grinned as much as a famous cat I heard about whose name was Cheshire. And after the Giant fell asleep and anored so loudly that it sounded like a clap of thunder and a bri'.k fell out of the tall chimney and rolled down the beanstalk and broke a pot of geraniums outside the wiudow of Jack's house,

What’s What pgjgpj In Indianapolis fcxj-’til] a Know Your Own EPf Home Town ’ * (ly the Ret trend Dtpar merit, Indianapidi Pubiti Library, C. £■ Rush, Librarian) When was Indianapolis incorporated? Aa late as 1832 the community of Indianapolis had no organization for local government apart from the county and state, governments But that vear the Incorporation ?ook place, five .trustees were elected and five wards created. Several officers were appointed, such as a marshal and a tax collector, tax assessor, clerk, treasurer and a market master. Ordinances were enacted against firing guns or flylmr kites lu the streets, leaving cellar doors open, leaving teams untied letting hogs run at large, keeping piles of wood or shavings in the streets and keeping a drinking house or a show without license. Market was to be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. What three periodicals are published by the high schools of the city? , The Shortrldge Echo is the oldest, having been issued dally since IROK and has the distinction of having been the first high school dally iipwaiißuer In the United States Emmerich Manual Training High school publishes a weekly, The Booster, and Technical High school u weekly, The Arsenal Camion. What does the Salvation Army do for Indianapolis? At 24 South Capitol avenue it maintains divisional headquarters f r the state. There is an auditorium for’meetings and a men’s hotel, where a man may get lodging for the night at a very nominal suiu. \t the Harley Gibbs Memorial building, 1001 West Washington street the Salvation Army keeps n free kindergarten and operates an electric community laundry.

the little boy who climbed up the beanstalk. As soon as Puss thought the giant was sound asleep, he stole softly out of the room and into the kitchen where the giant's wife was baking bread. And when the good woman saw Puss, she was so surprised that she almost gave a scream, but Puss put bis paw to his mouth and whispered, “S-s-sch!“ And then of course the good woman didn’t even breathe. “Ma-am," said Puss, in a very low voice, “I’m looking for Jack,” and then, all of a sudden, out of the big oven came Jack himself, and he was all covered

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A Sew Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER LXXXVII. "Five dollars apd sixty-five ?fcnts! Five sixty-five!” That went galloping through my mind like n hideous refrain. What was I to do? The luncheon check was $5.65, the tip must be at least 60 cents more—aud 1 had less than $5.50. Stealthily, under the table my hands went fumbling through every compartment of my purse—but no blessed miracle had converted the $5 bill and three dimes and two nickels Into one cent more than I had figured It In my first flush of terror. I had no credit at Carlier's. I was unknown there. And I had nothing I could offer as a security for a lean at the desk—-and supposing they would contemplate advancing me ay money. I wore no Jewelry—nothing but the plain gold band on my marriage finger, and aa I wrung my cold hands together In my lap and touched my wedding ring, I spurred myself anew to think of soma way out—some way that would not humiliate my Jim. For hla sake I couldn’t ask Virginia to lend me the money—and In the midst of my desperation I felt relieved because It was clearly not my duty to shame myself before her. Most certainly I didn’t want to. But something must be done. Desperately I stared around the room, searching fo'r sotne Inspiration. All about me were smiling, smartly-dressed men

That is, If I can take the little yellow hen with me.” And Just then the giant woke up and when he found out that Puss had left the room, he gave a dreadful roar, and. Oh, dear me, it sounded Just like a thunder storm, and the great big castle shook and another brick fell off the chimney and broke the bead off a lovely sunflower that grew In the giant's flower garden. And In the next story you shall hear how Jack took the little yellow hen horn* to his mother. —Copyright, 1920. '** (To be Continued.

and women. Probably in all that room there was no one eise to whom one dollar meant the difference between misery and happiness. Suddenly, out of that mess of indifferent, unknown, mask-like faces, one detached Itself and became real. Sheldon Blake s eyes caught mine, as he leaned forward from * distant table and lifted his goblet of water la greeting. A plan leaped Into my mind. I excused myself to Virginia aud Phoebe on the pretext of phoning, hurried to the lobby, gave a page 10 cents and the request to call Mr. Blake from the wall table In front of the third pillar, and then recalled the page and told thnt astounded youth not to call the gen?.’.emeu after all. I had gone to the lobby fully Intending to summon Sheldon Blake, and with a little pretended air of humor to beg for rescue and the paltry missing dollar —but I couldn’t do It. I must return and ask Virginia for the money. However that hart me, II could be managed, and In a way that need not reflect on Jim. And so I went back and told Virginia a little “white He” about my chronic carelessness In money matters, and how It had sent me out with a ridiculously small amount of money that morning. * “We nil do those things now and then. May I lend you $5 or $lO, Anne?” She asked in an even, unruffled voice. Ordinarily that tone of bers froze me. Now it saved me humiliation, as did the careless, matter-of-fact way she slipped a bill Into my hand under cover of the damask tablecloth.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
