MAYBE the board of safety could rent one of those superfluous fire trucks to Green woo®. THE INEVITABLE MISTAKE made by the man who stole bonds in Indianapolis appears to have been in going elsewhere to market them. THE CONSUMER has now become sufficiently familiar with war taxes not to be disturbed by prospects of an additional 1 per cent on all purchases. THE HEADLINE WRITER who attempted to tell where Senator's would be found when the Legislature opens isn’t as unsophisticated as is indicated. SENATOR WATSON is to confer with Senator Penrose before the opening of Congress. Thereafter they wiff be In a better position to tell Senator Harding what to do. UNFORTUNATELY, the suspicion arises there was something other than a desire for justice that prompted the fixing of responsibility for the manual school dissster on three men. THERE SEEMS TO BE considerable difference of opinion as to the amount saved by the joint purchasing committee, but there is no dispute over the impropriety of some of its coal contracts. Cut the Bunk Senator Estes Duncan, member of the legislative Visiting Committee, completes his tour of the State institutions with the time-honored announcement that the State institutions are “well-managed,’’ but are in need of repairs; th'at they are not in exceptionally poor condition but owing to "lack of funds” have been allowed to deteriorate. The pronouncement about the management is, of course, conceded. No administration ever succeeded itself in office and found fault with its previous conduct of the office. To do so would be self-criticism and if there is anything in the world that a politician is not it is aelf-critlcal. Deterioration because of "lack of funds” is another time-honored bit I of sophistry that has been so oft repeated that it ceases to be of much r value. "Lack of funds” implies lenity with the taxpayer, safeguarding of the treasury, and all that sort of thing. It sounds Impressive but it fools few. "Deterioration” is a term that covers a multitude of sins. , The truth about our State institutions is that they have been so shamefully neglected under the Goodrich regime that they have fallen to a point where errors of management are too minor to be decerned. Senator Duncan knows they are a disgrace to the State. Every one else who has visited them in the last four years knows It. What the McCray administration needs most right now is an expose of the condition In which State institutions are as it takes responsibility for them. How will it make a record for improvement if its starts on the assumption that there is nothing about the State institutions that needs improvement?

What's Behind the Whiteside Plea? Prior to pleading guilty in the Criminal Court, Arthur Whiteside, county undertaker who defrauded the county and defamed the dead, sought a suspended sentence. Relatives and friends endeavored to enlist support for a clemency plea on the ground that Whiteside was only a dupe and had been dividing the proceeds of his frauds with certain officials In Marion County. One member of his family’ declared that Whiteside had canceled checks to show that part of the proceeds of his frauds had been paid over tc county officials. Whiteside was reported to the Times to be anxious to make public the offenses of others in order to shift the burden of entire responsibility for his crimes against the law and against decency. Unexpectedly, and almost secretly, Whiteside was hurried into the Criminal Court, permitted to plead guilty to one of several pending charges and rushed to the State reformatory. In explanation of his failure to expose those whom it was asserted had been involved with him. a close relative of Whiteside said that Whiteside had been promised immediate parole If he would keep still and accept a prison sentence. Whiteside did not squeal. Next week an application for his parole will be considered by the State board of pardons and paroles. His parole has been recommended by John Castor, county recorder; Robert Miller, indicted county sheriff, and G. A. H. Shideler, superintendent of the State reformatoryIs this attempt to free Whiteside in conformation with a promise made him before he took his sentence in the Marion Criminal Court? Is it fostered by a sense of gratitude for silence or is it in the interest of society? The State board of pardons and paroles could doubtless ascertain the motive if it desired.

Craps The Times in indebted to an unknown editorial writer for the following, which expresses the truth too well to be overlooked: A correspondent who evidently feels that the Seneg&mbian should be allowed to “roll dem bones" without molestation as an innocent sort of amusement, wants the editor to explain why the police spend ao much of their time in raiding* crap games. Well, in the first place, not much of the police time is spent in raiding crap games. It might be, but isn’t. Secondly, the evil of craps is like the evil of other forms of gambling. Jt is not in the gambling itself, and the shifting of a few pennies from one pocket to another. The psychology of crime proves that along with gambling goes robberies, burglaries, petty and major thieving, for the gamsler is the victim of a mania that leads him to rob and steal and pilfer and murder in order to get money to place on the “bones" or shove across the table or bet on the horse race or other things. The law enforcing powers know this well, and whenever a bold hold-up •or robbery or burglary occurs, they immediately begin a hunt of the gambling joints, and in many cases they find the malefactor betting the stolen gains on the various gambling devices in operation. The crap shooter develops into ths petty thief and pilferer who gradually increases his field of operation until highway robbery and murder are committed. Dope fiends and gamblers are actuated by the same mania. The excitement and the “sensation," while being different, have the same perverting, degenerating tendencies. So in order to reduce the crop of robbers and eventual murderers, the crap games and gambling games are placed under the ban. The old veterans may not be prohibited from continuing their habits, but the young Bellows may be kept from recruiting the ranks. ■ Gambling, dope, robbery, murder are linked together like beads on a bring. I Had You Noticed It? I The Kokomo Dispatch, a newspaper that w r as once congratulated by Governor Goodrich for it faithfulness to the highway commission, prints Home interesting editorial comment on the manner in which the State ■highways are now being “maintained.’’ I The experiences of those who ride over these State highways makes ' the Dispatch's comment exceedingly trite. It says: “A system of highway maintenance similar to that employed by the big railroads In inspecting and caring for their properties is urged by one student of road problems. Thi6 is similar to the system being worked out by the State highway department and Howard County people are already seeing some of the beneficial results."

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CY (Continued.) “Clever!” cried Evvy almost admiringly —then she added in a confidential whisper. “So our little Phoebe likes matching pennies- -and that foolish ‘Vee’ of hers won't permit It ... . Funny how blood will tell, isn't it, Donna Anna? This child is so like—Jim. That's why I understand her.” Her words were a declaration of war between us. But this didn’t trouble me in any way. What wrung my heart, was little Phoebe crouching over the checker board with the intent eagerness I'd first seen Jim show the night he was playing dice with Neal. So Phoebe was a gambler, too! But when a woman is a gambler she's veiy likely to use for counters tilings more vita* than money. And Phoebe looked so young—pouting, petulant, eager to throw off authority, hitter against Virginia and me, wild for life, lonely for Neal, palpitating with eagerness for games of chance—that it frightened me to watch her. From Phoebe my thoughts wandered to Evvy. Why, after the weeks of silence between us, had Evvy come marching back into my life as matter-of -factly as If I’d seen her only yesterday? I couldn’t make up my mind to leave them there alone while I went to wash and freslivn up for the evening—so I sat watching them push the red and black counters over the square of the checker board. Evvy was very gay. She played as if

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Corv.

Now let me see. In the last story " left little Puss Junior In the castle o the great mountain giant who nm .e no mittens and brass belts snd kept a m - lion bees In a great glass house full o. lovely flowers Well, Puss dldn t stay there very long, for he wante.l to see the world, and a traveler must be ever on the go If he wants to g<*t anywhere. So off Puis started down the mountain side and by and by he saw a maiden standing on the meadow. Her face was turned toward the sun and ns the golden god traveled through the high heavens the maiden a eyes followed hts flaming ' har lot. But Puss didn't know that for many days she had stood in that one spot without food and drink. Nor did she s.-ein to see him as he drew near. And then, nil of a sudden, he noticed that her feet and limbs changed into a graceful stem and her face Into a flower which still followed the sun. Anil then from a bush near by that little yellow bird whose name 1 shall tell you some day began to sing: She loved the great sun in his wagon of flame As swift through the sky every morning he cara*. But he turned not to look on the maid In despair. Standing lone on the meadow with windtossed gold hair. But swift through the heavens he rolled in hi* car To the West, where the portals of gold were ajar. Til! at last the sad maiden took root In the mold, And changed to a sunflower glist'ning of gold. “Oh, dear me.” cried little Puss Junior. “1 shall never look at a sunflower without thinking of this sad-eyed maiden.” and then he turned hts footsteps toward a grove of trees where another maiden sat weaving a beautiful piece of erjr“May I look at your work?” naked Puss politely. And the maiden answered yes.

the game were a lark to her. But Phoebe fairly crouched over the board and seemed to become one with the game. “You’ve got me!” laughed Evvy in great amusement nt last. “No trick to that, I’m such a mediocre player—so we shake the chaperon and go out larking alone.” “Goody! Goody!” cried Phoebe, straightening up in her chair and relaxing with a long, laxy sigh, “I played for all I was worth—l like winning and I did not want to go—larking tonight.” There was no stopping them then—and ten minutes later they went trooping out together with a grPat air of delight In each other's society. I gathered up the board and counters and carried them over to the chest. The secret compartment was closed now, and I didn’t know how to open it. So I tumbled the checker game and Tom Mason's duplicate keys in wrlth the blue robe. When I straightened up tnd glanced over at the table where the girls bad been playing a sudden memory assailed me—Evvy playing w-tth Jim, Evvy with a pile of winnings before her. Just now she had said that she wasn't a good plaver— she had let Phoebe have the Joy of defeating her. She had let Phoeb* win her way about going out unchaperoned to dine. . Evidently Mlsa Evelyn Mason had a place for I’hoebe in her scheme of things. What was it?—Copyright. 1020. (To Be Continued.)

and pretty soon she told him that she j was trying her skill against a goddess i -You are doing a dangerous thing.” ; said little Puss Junior, for he had learned ■ a good deal about god* and goddesses j during his Journey through the Country 'of the God*. And so have you, I hope, little readers of this story of Puss in Boots Junior. Well, Just then, all of a sudden, an old woman drew near and in a low voice warned the maiden not to stir up the I wrath of the goddess But the maiden only laughed and kept on with her weaving. And then the old woman dropped her desk and mask and stood there, the very goddess herself. And oh, dear me, now- frightened that maiden was, hut she did not show it, hut kept to her work while the goddess sat down and weaved a most beautiful cloth that far exceeded In beauty that of the maiden. And then the goddess arose and said: • Hereafter you shall be a spider and spin your web upon the buabes.” And at once the maiden became a little black spider and spun s ellver web and a big blue-winged fly flew by and caught himself in the slender threads. And after that the goddess smiled at Puss and disappeared. and little Puss Junior went upon his way through the wonderful Country f the God*. Copyright. 11*20.

As the speed of the revolving record on a phonograph governs the pitch of the piece, why does tne pitch remain the *ame when the needle reaches the inner grooves where it travels slower? j F. W. i. A. The Bureau of Standards says that the pitch of a phonograph record depends upon the number of vibrations per second on the dlsphrngm to which the needle is studied The vibrations are caused by the Irregular depth of the grooves on tbe record. The number of these waves is greater near tbe edge of the record than near the center, for the same sound. The number of grooves
