SURE, one of those Greentown booze-runners was under a suspended sentence! IN OTHER WORDS, Lew Shank does not care to talk now and thinks his opponents should respect his wishes! NOR DOES the escapade of an ex-member of Chief Kinney’s morals squad tend to substantiate the views of those who felt that no shake-ups in the local police department were necessary! BY THE TIME a few more persons lose their lives on the Circle, traffic conditions here may be righted. We s™m to have reached the point where every one is agreed that they ought to be studied. SURE, there is discord among the various Federal departments over the enforcement, of the liquor laws. The Department of Justice believes in enforcing law, the Department of Prohibition in seeking publicity. WHEN PUBLIC OFFICIALS begin to realize that nothing is more important to this community than a restoration of confidence they find plenty of room for action. Action eventually begets confidence. MAYBE the reason Superintendent Talkington wishes to leave the penal farm is that the prisoners do not seem to appreciate his efforts sufficiently to remain thebe even for the period of their sentences. GOVERNOR GOODRICH announced his intention to grant no more paroles and immediately thereafter Sheriff Miller finds saws in the County Jail. It looks like the “pardon-bund’’ was losing the confidence of its former patrons. Good Luck , Mr. Jewett! Much can be forgiven Charles W. Jewett if he succeeded in closing his administration with the accomplishment of his announced plan to consolidate the charity and correctional institutions of Marion County and Indianapolis under one general management. The plan is practicable and wholly desirable. When it is effected it will reduce taxation and insure a better return for taxes to those who must pay them. We have had some shining examples of how our institutions should not be conducted in the last few years. We question whether there is any community in the nation that has been less disturbed by exposure of its own shame than Marion County was disturbed by the expose of conditions at the County JaiL ' Yet, nothing has been done to make a repetition of those outrages impossible, and, in fact, the suggestion of Mayor Jewett that the direction I of all these institutions be placed under one administrative head, is the only official recognition of dissatisfaction with them which has been publicly announced. ( Practically speaking, the consolidation of these institutions under the mayor’s plan will be of immense benefit to the public. Politically speaking, it will relieve the taxpayer of the burden of supporting both a city and county political machine. Because of its political effect we are not certain of its success. But we want to say that we approve of it and wish Mr. Jewett the very beet of success in his efforts to make his plan mature.

Misinformation About Gas In a statement which it is making to a limited part of the gas consumers of Indianapolis, the Citizens’ Gas Company says that much misinformation has been spread in this community concerning the gas situation. This is an honest confession that should be noted by every one. Not a single bit of information concerning the gas situation has been publicly presented to the people of Indianapolis that did not come from the gas company itself at various times. Consumers generally have been unable to reconcile the statements made by the various gentlemen who have attempted to describe the situation, either at the Statehouse or at the city lu^ll. Being unable to reconcile the many direct contradictions and variances in these statements, the readers of Indianapolis long ago concluded that they contained “misinformation.’’ Now the gas company admits it. Fortunately, before the company obtains its 60 per cent increase in rates, the Public Service Commission will be compelled to consider this * ‘m isinf ormation. ** And while the Public Service Commission iB hearing it, the public, also, will get its chance. Is Germany Awakening? In spite of the bitterness which tlie war generated toward Germany, it is nevertheless a matter of pity when one considers the great depth to which this country had fallen before its good thinking people began to sense their true situation. To the millions in the United States who knew Germany as a land of music and sentiment and who remember the good traits of Germany s character, there is a pathos in the complaints that come from that country now. The consequences of war should have been known to Germany and indeed they were known but the country was war intoxicated, with desperate results. Rudolph Dreitscheid, a leader of the Modern Independent League, said in a debate in the Reichstag recently that Germany's burdens were not a result of the infamous conduct of her enemies, but were the result of Germany’s pre-war policy. V “Germany’s collapse was not due to the pacifists, but to the men who Raised war as a fountain of youth and the bath of steel.’’ \There is always hope for an insane person when he begins to realize his condition. There is hope that Germany will come to her senses and realize her defeat and the position in which she placed herself before civilization. When Germany does realize the situation, a good that Is known to the millions who left Germany and are descended from her sturdy stock will become triumphant and will control her policies. It is hoped the day may be hastened. The Legion Responds! The part taken by the members of the American Legion in patrolling the streets of a Kansas town recently to prevent race riots, not only shows a proper spirit, but also illustrates the usefulness to which these citizens can turn their military experiences. No justification is necessary for the quick mobilization, for such act was to preserve law and order and that is always proper and never inappropriate. The spirit back of the action, the ability to think and do, all coupled with the vision of the proper steps in the emergency, commend themselves most strongly to the entire community. Boys may chaff tinder military discipline; may grumble as soldiers do at the Government* may complain of the monotony and failure of opportunity to be heroes, but such action as was shown by these men in preventing a race riot fully compensates, in the mind of citizens, and shows one great lesson has been learned by the ex-soldiers. They respect law and order. Since the war, every concerted act of the returned soldiers has been on the sane and law-abiding side. They have demonstrated that within them is deeply planted the germs of good citizenship, and that the sacrifices they cndured'bave made better citizens of them. It is a sorry commentary that it should require action by these bo; s to uphold American citizenship in any community— especially with older men so abundant. However, where confidence does not exist in a community and where law enforcement has been winked at, some strong and correct element is necessary. During over a generation following the Civil War. the ex-soidlers stood for law and order. It Is possible we must rely upon the American Legion to fight continuously for the restoration of confidence inour eirll Institution* and lor-the preservation

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Mar ried Life \ - ■■■■■ ■■

CHATTER CXII (Continued). “Listen, listen, just a second! Betty was with us last night. You must bellere that—she was! She did get back. And I hate to ace Mr. Norreys today—he's arranged to come to the Canteen. We've planned the fund for the poor boys —and Betty’s going to bundle I he money.” But the door slammed on my words, and 1 couldn't tell how much Jim had heard. ‘•Well- here goes to call on Betty again for chaperon duty,” I told myself grimly. But Betty didn't answer her private phone. And when 1 called her on the apartment house telephone they could tell me nothing more than that Mrs. Bryce had left very early that morning in a taxi, that she had carried a suitcase with her. bin had left no forwarding address. This disturbed me vaguely—the night before 1 had sensed even more vaguely that Betty had a definite and secret purpose In coming back to town so far ahead of schedule, and now 1 began to wonder If she would have confided in me had I been less absorbed in my own affairs. I had no idea whether Virginia and Terry knew of Betty’s return to town—yet I felt that In loyalty to her I couldn’t question them about her. So I filled In the day with routine matters, writing to Father Andrew and Neal, washing and ironing my only uniform and then dressing and going to the Canteen to report with the 2:30 Unit.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By Oavld Corv.

' Well, as the little green snake fanned - herself with the clover I men- | tloned in the story before this, she be- ; gan to sing: I'm a little green snake that glides through the grass. And hurries away when travelers pass. For I dread the heel of slipper or boot, And that Is the reason I always scoot To hide In a hole In the old stone wa.l. For nobody sees me there at all. “Then why didn't you run a way from me?” asked little Puss Junior, and he sat down on a stone aad grinned In a friendly way at the little green snake. "Because I’m not afraid of you,’ she replied, “and. besides, 1 wtsb to ask a favor of you.” , “What Is it?” asked Puss, and he curled his whiskers and gTlnood some more and then ho took off his hat and scratched bis ear, for he thought perhaps that little green snake might n-k him something which he u-ouldu t want to do. And I guess she thought that, too, for she began to laugh, and pretty soon she said: "It’s not much of a favor. Its only to find the little gold ring which I wore on the Up of my tall. I’ve lost it somewhere In the grass near here. "Oh, Is that all," said Puss, and he began to purr, for he was much re lleved. So both of them began to look for the ring, but. goodness me, they couldn’t find It anywhere, and st last Puss took off his cap and touched the grass with the flaming gold feather, snd. would you believe It, the grass burst Into flames and burned up In a jiffy, and •Ight there on the ground, not two steps off was the little gold ring, shining like a star when only one is shining In the

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, l2u.

Mr. Norreys came at flve —and as “tea” isn’t very popular affair with the boys, *e got a splendid idea of the working plans of the Canteen and a bird’s-eye view of the 0 o’clock rush. Our lieutenant and captain were charming to him—but strangely enough It was Carlotta Sturges to whom he responded most warmly. "That girl's real,” he said on leaving. "She's a brick. Under the paint and slang there’s a big nature and a generous heart. She looks like a brave sort—the kind to stand up under fire. A girl like that ought to know a few Anne Harrisons and Betty Bryces—they'd save her a lot.” I didn’t get a chance to ask Mr. Norreys what he meant—what he knew about Carlotta, for the dinner rush was In full swing a.id I had to rush off for tray and orders. Three hours later —st closing time— Carlotta Sturges came swinging over to me. “What do you say we get a hit of dinner together, sister?” she said. 1 thought of Virginia, and was suirrying round In my mind for some decent way of refusing when Terry Winston strode Into the Canteen. With a purposeful air he mn- bed up nnd seized my hand In a vis. ike grip. “Mrs. Jimmie,” he said quietly, but with volumes back of his expression. "Whene's Betty? Tell me you know where Betty's hiding!”—Copyright, 1920. (To be continued.)

sky. So Puss picked It up and handed it to the little grtn snake. “Please put it on my tali,” she SHld, so Puss did, and at once she changed Into a lovely princess with a green silk gown and a little diamond crown. “You bare broken the spell,” she said, patting little Puss on the head. "The ugly witch who changed me Into a snake told me the only way 1 would ever regain my natural form again was when a little cat with red topped boots placed a little gold on the tip of my tall.” "Well, it was very lucky I came along,” laughed Puss Junior. “And do you know,” said the little green snake. “It was many months before I could find a little gold ring. But one day as I was creeping along the highway. I saw something glittering In the dust, and when I looked closer. It was thi little gold ring. So I kept It ever sitae. But It has been weary waiting till n ll:tle cat came along with red top boots,” and the lovely princess sighed, for it had been pretty tiresome being a little green snake. "Now 1 must go back to my castle.” and she Invited Puss to go with her, hut be replied he must be on his way nnd In the next story you shall hear of another adventure which befell him shortly after leaving the lovely princess. -Copyright, 1920, ITo be Continued.
