NOR will turning a bootlegger loose with the advice that he had better cut out the whisky business tend to inspire any more confidence in our courts. THE STATE BOARD of accounts, which originally estimated that the Northwestern avenue bridge muddle had cost the county $40,000 now shows how the board saved the county $26,000. The $14,000 deficient will probably be charged to "experience.” _ * JUDGE COLLINS sentenced some more felons to prison yesterday. Next week it may become known whether he recommended that their prison sentences be served at the penal farm or instructed the sheriff to disregard-his commitments. Up to the Board of Works For many, many years it has been the policy of the board of works of Indianapolis to “issue orders” to the street car company to make certain improvements, forget -the “orders” and tell complaining citizens that the failure of the street car company to do as “ordered” was not a fault to be attributed to the board. The time for a hal* in this method of procedure was when It £rst begun, but no one appears to have taken the trouble to point out to the irate citizen that this was only an easy way for the board to "pass the buck." Os course, the board of works has now and always has had absolute control over the street car company. It can compel the company to pave streets, pave them at the expense of the company, or forfeit the company's bond if it pleases. But it has been much easier to hide behind the stereotyped excuse that “the company will do nothing” when irate citizens appear before the board than to take such action as might offend the legal luminaries who direct the local street car system. As to the ability of the street car company to make certain street Improvements that have been ordered we have our doubts. As to the propriety of certain orders of the board of works we have even more doubts. But there is no reason in the world to doubt the propriety of compelling the company to obey orders. The board of works can do this whenever its members display backbone. And the citizens of Indianapolis ought to know and realize that the street car company is no more negligent than the board of works permits it to be in the matter of improvements. _ ' i Teaching Disrespect for Law The taking of a policeman’s arms and badge from him by a negro employed by the city administration as an answer to a proper demand for identification Is more than an incident of police work. It is a demonstration, not only of the type of negroes that the administration employes, but of the real danger that lurks in the petting and cajoling of lawless black men for political purposes. This negro did not feel that he was in any way bound to respect the law as represented by a uniformed policeman. Was he not selected out of a group of approximately thirty thousand members of his race to receive money from the city as an employe? Had his character not been passed upon by the representatives of Charles W. Jewett, mayor, and was he not a recipient of honors at the hands of a board appointed by the mayor? Os course, the board of safety recently called on the citizens of Indianapolis ter aid the police by submitting to identification at the request of the officers, it made its call general. But apparently it did not intend that mere policemen should interrogate negro voters, or perhaps it only intended to exempt those negro voters who work for the city. The real menace to this community does not lie in the presence of negroes. Asa whole they are law-abiding citizens, struggling to overcome the handicaps of their color. And among the greatest handicaps that are imposed upon them is the policy of the administration in selecting from their number employes who are qualified only to do political dirty work. These negroes are not representative of the race and they have much more respect for political pull than for the law. The city administration has taught them this, and it should not now be heard to complain that its pupils appear to have no respect for the police or the law. Saving Its Face ' A remarkable example of self-conviction of gross Inefficiency is the report of the State board of charities in which it seeks to whitewash both itself and the insufferably negligent officials who conducted the Marion County Jail not so very long ago. The State board, whose business it was to know the conditions at the county Jail, failed to know them, or wilfully permitted them to become unspeakably bad. When its attention was called to the inhumane practices there it did nothing to relieve them. When a court heard testimony from witnesses under oath that revealed an appalling and disgraceful lack of supervision of the institution, the State board fell back on the defense that it did not have enough inspectors to keep in touch with the institutions. Later, when for political purposes the very officials whose neglect was responsible for the disgraceful jail conditions cooperated to protect those who profited by the graft and the poker games in the jail, the board of charities began "an investigation.” Now that the vivid impressions made by the sworn statements of cruelty, abuse, graft and worse have somewhat faded, the State board announces: - “The report of the treatment accorded prisoners was greatly exaggerated. Evidence obtained did not show that the insane were beaten or subdued by use of water through a hose or feet blistered by burning.” Testimony In the court of Judge Albert B. Anderson refutes the statement of the board. The report of the Marion County grand jury brands the board's conclusions as false. . The fact that not one of the men accused of brutality and neglect has ever taken a single step toward clearing his reputation is sufficient evidence of his guilt. If the State board failed to obtain evidence that “the insane were beaten or subdued by the use of water through a hose or feet blistered by burning” the failure was due only to the inefficiency or wilful neglect of the board. Sufficient evidence is already of record to prove these things beyond a reasonable doubt, but again, there are none so hard to convince as those who do not desire to be conx^nced. And in the matter of brutality and neglect at the county Jail, the State board of charities does not desire to be convinced —principally because it Is, itself, responsible for these atrocities. Another Mammoth Cave Down In Kentucky someone has discovered another mammoth cave, almost as large as the one to which all newly married couples had to journey on their wedding trip fifty years ago. It is said that it possesses many wonders similar to those of the famous old cave once so well known. It is in order to advocate the return to see the new cave on the celebration of one of the wedding anniversaries by those who went there years ago when life was young and bore such a rosy hue. It is true the cost might be more, considering that the necessity of travel on a train would add fare and government tax. Again, Kentucky has lost its charm as a manufacturing State, but without doubt a Dear Jerry letter or two from some government prohibition officer would obtain the desired effect if properly used.

The entire trip might be very enjoyable and of vast interest. One conld invest in Kentucky oil lands —there are plenty for sale —or he might spend his time in search of some noted vendetta leader who, with the advent of railroads and good roads, has taken to the mountains and is a rs-e

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CXXX. At the “Salt Water Oil” celebration dinner, not a single thing happened as I had expected, and a great many things occurred which I could certainly never have anticipated. Os course I had thought that I would sit next to Jim at the table, and that he and Tom Mason, as co-hosts, would take head and foot. But it didn’t work out that way mathematically—Jim and I had opposite ends of the table, and between us stretched a sea of faces. At .Tim's right hand sat Doris West, as flashing and Oriental as I had remembered her. Then came her friend, Fred Harper, with Phoebe between him arid Dick West, who sat on my left. On my right, Tom Mason —and next on the way back to Jim was Virginia, and then Sheldon, while Evvy sat on Jim's left. , , An ill-assorted, awkwwd party, it setined to me. Doris West alternated between flashing warm glances at Jim and turning the battery of her long, dark, eyes on her Mr. Fred Harper. Across the table Ewy was devoting herself whole-heartedly to diverting Jim’s attention from Miss West to herself. Virginia and Sheldon seemed to be having a sort of private party of their own, walled off from ours by their indifference.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory

“Roek-a-by, rook-a-by. Sleep till the dawn. When*the red and green rooster Will blow on his horn.” Thar is the song the Twinkle, Twinkle Star sang to little Puss Junior in the last story, yon remember, while be sat behind dear Old Mother Goose on her gander on the way to Mother Goose Country. Well, by and by, after a while, away rtf in the East the first pale streaks of dawn began to paint the sky all sorts of lovely colors, and pretty soon the loosters commenced to crow and the little deer In the forest to walk down to the streams to drink. And after that the farmers opened their tack doors and went out to m’lk the cows, and not \ery long after that the factory whistles blew, and then the big wide world was really awake. And so Mother Goose thought it was time to wake up little Puss Junior, for he was HOROSCOPE "The stars incline, but do not compel!” SUNDAY, JAMARY 80. Evil stars dominate today, according to astrology. Although Vranus Is In berefle aspect in the morning. Mars, Saturn, the sun, Jupiter and Neptune are all adverse. During this sway It is well to occupy oneself with pleasant reading, avoiding any sort of planning or initiative. While Uranus opens the mind to a hospitable reception of spiritual ideas, clergymen may find conditions most nnpropltioua for the presentation of philanthropic or charitable projects. Persons whose blrthdate It Is may have a strenuous year that brings business tests. They shoald stick to routine work. Those who are employed should be unusually diligent. Children born on this day are likely to be restless and fond of change. Boys may have an especial craving for life at sea and girls may have event: ul careers. MONDAY, JANUARY 81. This should be a very lucky day, according to astrology, for Jupiter, Mars and Saturn are all In benetlc aspect. It Is a day in which Initiative of every sort Is well directed and promises much for the growth of new enterprises.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1921.

By Ann Lisle

Tom Mason took possession of me, in a well-bred way. There seemed no escaping, for when I turned from him to Doris West’s brother—whose resemblance to his sister translated itself into the dark, Hashing, alert, American Indian type instead of id her compelling, yet almost insolent Eastern beauty—l got the greatest surprise of all. There sat Phoebe—her littlo heartshaped face flushed, her gentle eyes provocative, her soft young mouth a crimson splash with a certain hardness, in spite of the short, trembling upper lip. And Phoebe was leaning toward Dick West with a challenge in every line Qf her eager face and a fresh lure in every turn of her slender throat. A Phoebe transformed! What had done it? While the dinner dragged through to the demi-tasse, I gave half my mind to holding Tom Mason at his proper distance without snubbing the man to whom my grateful husband was drinking so many toasts. But the other half was very, very busy with cause and effect. What had happened to change Neal's little Phoebe into this girl I scarcely knew? This wasn't “Neal’s little Phoebe” at all, but some brilliant changling, who rose suddenly and, waving her coffee cup In a gesture of command, cried:—Copyright. 1921.* (To l>e continned)

still sound ’asleep on the soft feathery back of the big gander. “Puss, Puss! Wake up!” “Where aru i?” he asked, rubbing his eyes, for he had forgotten all about getting up on tho gander the night before, you see. “You’re on your vray to Mother Goose Land,” said the dear old lady. •'We're almost there!”, So Puss rubbed his eyes and sat up. 1 And, sure enough, there was the Old Woman In her basket flying through tin. I air. And tbftt other Old Woman who swept the cobwebs off the sky. “11a, ha,” laughed Puss. "All iny old friends are here!” And presently, as the gander flew down toward the earth, Puss saw the Old ; Woman Who Lived in a Shoe opeulng the little front door in the toe, and Lit- j lie Boy Blue blowing his horn in the i meadow, and the tnooly cow with the crumpled horn and the House that Jack built. •'Ha. ha,” laughed Puss again. “I'm so glad to be In this dear old country where giants und wicked dwarfs don't try to frighten people to death.” Well, pretty soon the gander alighted In a barnyard, where that famous black hen laid nice eggs for gentlemen. And as she was a great friend of Old Mother Goose, she Invited them both into her little house for breakfast. Now it wasn't a regular henhouse, you know, but a pretty little cottage with white curtains at the window* and a llttla red chimney. And the little black hen knew how to keep It neat and clean, let me tell you. For she had a feather duster that was made out of the tail feathers of her groat great-grandfather, who was a famous rooster in h!s day, and every morning she dusted her little house from garret to cellar. Well, it didn't take her long to get n nice breakfast for dear Old Mother Goose and lttle Puss Junior, and Bhe didn't forget the gander, either. Ana while they were folding their napkins, three gentlemen drove up to jjrt some fresh eggs. So the littlo black hen went to her cupboard and brought out some nice, fresh ones and put them tn a little box with lttle pasteboard partitions In. And whut do you suppooe was printed on the cover of that pasteboard box? I'll tell you, if you'll promise to be good, In tomorrow's story. -Copyright, 1921. (To ll€ C ontJnuKJ.)

Buy a Home —And Prosper

RENT receipts represent money pent. Receipts for payments on a home are money saved. Between the two is the vast difference between money in your possession and money that is gone forever. To buy a home is to turn the normal, regular expenditure for rent into a saving. A home pays dividends in satisfaction, too.

The first payment on a home will grow month by month, until it has increased to the full value of the property. Your payments that would otherwise have gone for rent are saved for you in the increase of your equity. This regular month by month SAVING is the foundation of prosperity. Save—buy a home —and prosper. A home is the opportunity of every man to invest, to save, and to OWN PROPERTY. The first payment is comparatively small —small monthly payments will pay out on it for you. These payments are your savings account. Many complex factors determine the

Mr. Wallace, who was assistant general manager of the Diamond Chain aud Manufacturing Company of Indianapolis, has established headquarters at the council's New York office in the engineering societies’ building. “The world has lost millions of men through the ravages of war,” Mr. Wallace says. “To offset this loss the industrial engineer must devise new plans, new methods, new equipment. “The engineer must give consideration to devising means of using that large army of industrial handicaps—men and women—who, through accident or through miscarriage of the laws of nature, are lacking in some essential faculty or sense. A close analysis of jobs will disclose that in the modern Industrial plant there is an opportunity for men and women with every sort of handicap to do successfully some work.
