JJaily STiroea INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. Dally Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS* fChicaco Detroit. St. Louis, G. Logan Pay no Cos. AdYcrtlalnff Office* York, Boston, Payne, Barng & Smith, Inc, Use of Injunction . There is considerable good arising out ol the use of the injunction b. courts, in spite of the opposition to it which has developed from a feeling of Its abuse in various disputes. Recently a gas company In Cleveland was enjoined from discontinuing its service in Cleveland and surrounding suturbs. The franchise of the company expired and the company Intended to Bhut down, but the court ordered It to continue until the injunction was released. Just on what ground the court could order it Is not known, and perhaps would be uninteresting to the layman, but the fact that the company Intended to discontinue sen-ice In the middle of winter would seem sufficient ground to cause the conscience of any court to issue the injunction —for the writ issues out of a court of equity or conscience rather than a law court. Where the courts go wrong great hardships result, hut where the action of the court is along proper lines, such action has always met public favor and has always been effectual. Licensing Recently a wedding occurred near Noblesvllle, where no license and, Indeed, no minister—was required. It was between Friends, or Quakers and as notice had been given a month prior and the law does not exact the Ucense of members of the Society of Friends, none was present It Is almost safe to say that for the time of the wedding, the brl le alone was without license but probably will never be so again. If any doctors, dentists, nurses, stock salesmen, pawn brokers, plumbers, peddlers, undertakers or automobilists were present they had license numbers, in spite of the maxim that government Is best which governs least. There was a time, crude perhaps, when the common sense of a free people was considered almost a sufficient guide In affairs in general and a license to preach was practically the only one required and the State did not exact that. However, the desire. If not the necessity, to regulate the other man has extended to almost all walks of life. The manufacturer must appl.v to the State industrial board for his license to operate and there Is even a fight continually on regarding the open or closed shop, which Is virtually another form of licensing labor. It is at tithes difficult for a nation to change thought The propaganda of war and Its methods are still invoked even in time of peace. At the present rate it is possible that soon every one will be supplied with a number of some kind or will wear a tag showing his license to live. Star-Heated! Whenever anything relating to astronomy Is approached, it Is with a feeling of awe, for anything astronomical Is so far away and everything about its appearance is so deceptive, that it inspires fear even to think of it. For example, the sun does not rise and set and the stars are not stars they are suus —and they do not twinkle and the milky way is no vay at all; and the moon Is not made of green cheese nor any substance like It. It Is comforting to know, however, that gradually some knowledge is being obtained of the vast space about the earth and at least we can speak of it in figures. The atmosphere is free, generally speaking, when you look up and one Is not trespassing any rights lu star gazing. Some memories of youthful associations are quite dear to the average person In this latter regard. It is pleasing to note that Dr. William W. Coblentz of the bureau of standards at Washington has Invented and discovered a method or determining and actually measuring the radiant heat reaching the earth from stars and other heavenly bodies. The instrument is called a “thermocopule." How this man even happened to discover that there was any heat coming from any star to the United States, no person outside of the bureau of standards could tell. To be able to determine how much heat comes from the north star Is certainly an advancement In science and perhaps this knowledge will be a comfort when It' is published to the public. To go out on a nice frosty night in mid-winter and know that every little star which is shining In the heavens Is lending some of its heat to keep one warm certainly Is a pleasure and when this is demonstrated in science, young people can stay out later than ever.

Misdirected Protests Two items concerning the J. P Morgan homes have recently attracted the attention of the public. One is that the London home, which has been in the family for generations, has been tendered to the United States as a residence for the American ambassador. This is a gift from the owner and it has been accepted by the United States. It means that our poorly paid representative will have an official residence which will lighten his financial burdens and the residence is a very worthy one. The second one chronicled the arrest of a woman who was marching up and down in front of J. P. Morgan’s residence in New York wearing a Bign wherein an attack was made on everything and which ciyised the woman t obe sent to the psychopathic ward of the hospital for observation. These two Incidents both illustrate the state of mind that can be arrived at by an individual. Os course, the house of Morgan, with its immense banking interests, has made colossal fortunes. Probably the London home never wlil be missed. Nevertheless, It is a generous gift to the American people and one which deserves the thanks to the donor. No strings are attached to the gift and the Government is free to accept it without any reservations. On the other hand, here is a woman, perhaps mentally unbalanced, blaming an individual for some fancied wrong or perhaps some real grievance and nursing that wrong to such a point that reason has been dethroned. Then the blame is placed upon a sucessful banker and protest is made against what? Against the individual, against his fortune or against his business activities? In any event, the protest is futile and incorrectly based because the individual has his constitutional rights, which every one has. The wealth has been acquired in legitimate banking business and the business itself is necessary. It is mighty important that the right viewpoint in life be obtained to start with. Otherwise, conclusions may go very wrong. Bergdoll, the Traitor ‘The case of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll grows in Interest since he has been located in Germany and the government of that country now claims him as a citizen. It will be rechlled he was the slacker who escaped guard so dramatically about a year ago. Germany Is welcome to all such citizens from America, if she wants them, but the sensibilities of some who hoped that anew spirit had arisen in that country and who credited their protestations of repentance are considerably shocked. The great poets, scientists, musicians and scholars of the past seem vastly removed from the present German sycophants who welcome this traitor Into companionship and citizenship. Bergdoll was by law in the service of the United States from the time he was registered as a soldier. He became a deserter. Now he has taken citizenship and, of course, sides with a government with which the United States continues, technically, at war. He is guilty of treason and should hang for his last act of desertion, for he deserted to the enemy with which we are at war. The name of Bergdoll will ever be regarded as synonymous with treason and slacker in the World War by Americans. When history finally records its final analysis all the wealth of the man, all the enjoyment he can ever take from life will never cause the heart of his former countrymen to beat faster in admiration, gratitude or honor. His name will go down in disgrace. There is no excuse. Others did not want to fight Germany for vari ous reasons. Their wishes were respected wherever possible and work at home was provided as it would have been for Bergdoll had he possessed the manhood to ask it. In times of stress and emergency character will show, even in animals. The miserable Bergdoll is a pitiable example ot yellow, bnt be did no particular damage to America. Soldiers, after all, are not made of such stuff as composed^Mk^^ior.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life —By Ann Lisle

CHAPTER CXXXIV (Continued). Virginia greeted ine and hurried me to the dining-room. The luncheon table was set for three. “Phoebe had an engagement," Virginia explained, almost nervously. “Evvy," I declared quietly. Virginia nodded and crumpled her napkin in her hand. “Virginia—what's Evvy'a game?” I asked suddenly. "Do you think she’* trying to make Phoebe —different, worldly wise. And Is It to spite you or me or Jim—or Just because she's Jealous of anything ns sweet and young as Phoebe Is? Whatever her plan Is, why can't wo defeat It?” Virginia’s eyes widened to an expression that was grave and sweet and helpless. All her Icy reserve seemed to melt away and to leave a real sister. “Anne, Phoebe isn’t very fond of me. We never got on. She liked you at first, but now she seems to want to avoid you. Perhaps, It’s Just as well she has some one, even if It's only Evvy Mason. Because otherwise she might have taken her little affair with Neal too seriously, and the Indifferent way he accepted his dismissal shows clearly enough that would never have done. Phcebe might have been badly hurt.” “Sometimes I wonder If she isn’t hurt now,” I answered, “and avoiding me Just to hide It. Neal's proud, Jeanle—that may account for his silence." Virginia’s eyes flashed when I said “Jeanle.” I couldn't tell If they signalled Joy at my use of her pet name, or resentment. Her answer had an Intimate tone, however, so I promised myself to go on saying “Jeanle.”

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory

Now as soon as the frog had regained his natural shape and was once more a handsome prince, as I told you In the story before this, the king exclaimed: “What marvelous thing Is this?” And then the prince replied: “A wicked witch cast a spell over me, and until a princess should do me a kindness, a frog 1 would remain.” And then the princess blushed, for she remembered how unwilling at first she had been to do the poor frog a kindness, even after he had rescued her golden ball from the deep sprinf. Well, to makes long story short, a* grown-up people say when all the exeitment Is over and they want to reach the finish, the prince and the princess were married ar.d lived happily ever after. But long before the wedding took place Puss was again on his Journey of adventure. Well, one day as he was traveling along ho came to a neat little house near the forest, and as he stopped to knock at the door seven little goslings looked out of the window. "We can not open the door,” they said. "Mother forbade us to when she left to gather wood In the forest.” “But 1 won't harm you,” said Puss. “Although, perhaps, you had best obey your mother.” And with these words he followed the path leading Into the forest. But he had gone but a short distance when he saw an old wolf dressed up In a suit of goose feathers. <n his left arm he carried a great sack, and In his right paw a club And after he had passed by Puss followed him until he knocked on the front door of the little house of the seven goslings.

“He’s silent because he’s forgotten, Anne. Men do forget. And so very easily. I know you don’t approve of Evvy any more than I do, but she’ll help the child to forget. So Just now I don’t dare Interfere too much. But this morhlng I made Phoebe promise to stop using that horrible lip stick. And now let’s consider the thing we’re both most concerned about now—how to find Betty.” “Have you any news?” I asked eagerly. Virginia shook her head. “Nothing. word from Betty. Nothing from Terry. I phoned Anthony Norreys, and he’ll be here In time for coffee. We three must think up something to do. Except Jim, we’re Betty’s nearest and dearest —and of course, Jim’s absorbed in his own affairs now.” I felt so happily close to Virginia that I ventured to be absolutely frank. “I’m afraid Jim won’t like that vefy well. He almost hates Anthony Norreys.” “Good old Tony! How absurd for my handsome brother to bo Jealous of him. But, Anne, you’re blushing! if that Isn’t amusing 1 My chance shot was right, then—Jim Is Jealous!” Virginia threw back her head and laughed, and in great confusion I put my cold hands to my cheeks—and found them burning. Through my mind ran a confused recollection of the half-dozen occasions I had seen Anthony Norreys. Each time I had felt strangely happy and at peace. Why was I suddenly unhappy now and torn by restless feelings?—Copyright, 10-L (To Be Continued).

"That wolf Is up to mischief,” thonght Puss. “For why should he dress himself up In a goose feather suit.” And when the little goslings heard the knock on the door, they came to the window and said, "Who Is knocking?" “It Is your mother, little web feet,” replied the wicked old wolf. “Your voice Is too harsh to be our mother's,” taid all the seven goslings In one breath. So the wolf went around to the back of the little house and chewed some slippery elm wood until Ills voice was as soft as the coo of a dove. And then he eamo back and knocked again. ‘Who Is It?” asked the seven little goslings, and again the wolf replied, "Your own dear mother.” But the little goslings caught sight of his big black paws, which had no feather gloves on, you see, and they wouldn't open the door. "Mother has not black feet You must be tho wolf,” they said. So he ran around to the back of the house and dipped his feet In a prnll of whitewash. And then he back and knocked on the door, and after that he put bis paws up to the window, and as they were white the foolish little gollngs opened the door But, oh dear me! Weren’t they fright cned when that dreadful wolf ran in! And I guess he would have eaten them up If Puss hadn’t rushed up and hit Mm with his sword And the wolf was so frightened that he dropped his feather coat and ran back to the woods, and after that Puss said goodby and resumed his Journey of adventure.—Copyright, 192 L (To Be Continued.)

HOROSCOPE “The stars Incline, but do not compel I" THURSDAY, FEB. 10. Astrologers read this as an unfortunate day, for Jupiter, Mars and Saturn are all In strongly malefic aspect. All who have large plans to develop would better delay belore taking any Initiative. Uncertainty In many lines of business will retard or even prevent enterprise while this configuration prevails. Persons whose btrtbdate It Is should not make any radical changes In business or domestic affairs during the coming year. Speculation or experiments will be unlucky In all probability.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that the government of any business enterprise should come from within the industry, and that this government should be beneficial alike to capital, labor, management, and the public. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is organized upon a broad base to bring about this desirable condition. The Board of Directors, who are responsible to the stockholders for the management of the Company’s affairs, acknowledge the social obligation which the Company has assumed, and which they interpret to mean the efficient refining and distribution of essential petroleum products of superior quality; to make these products available everywhere, and at prices which put them within reach of all To accomplish this essential task, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has continually broadened the base of its operations, intrusting the administration of its complex and highly specialized business to men of acknowledged authority, ability, and vision.
