THAT SIOO which brought a million in Indianapolis real estate was well Invested. It tempts one to save SIOO some time. ANYHOW, the bipartisan clique that has heretofore controlled city primaries is meeting more difficulties this year than usual. ALEX HOW AT admits he has no respect for the courts, but that does not prevent him appealing to one for a review of the jail sentence imposed by another. IT WOULD SEEM that the mayor’s great interest in the new purchasing plans was like so many other of his schemes —designed for publicity purposes only. ONE MIGHT have more sympathy with the desire ofAhe city administration to retain control over the street car company if that control were ever exercised for other than political purposes. CONTROLLER BRYSON has not yet decided to take the public into his confidence as' to the condition of the several city funds, although the law says he shall publish the report thirty days after the end of the calendar year. To Steady the Nation So much has been said recently that it is scarcely necessary to urge the public to cease waiting for lower prices and to begin to buy now. The inactivity in purchasing has reached a place where bad results to the future production are threatened unless markets turn to the good. It is only human nature for persons to cease to produce if their results are a loss. For instance, the farmer will not raise grain if he must do so without remuneration. Likewise, it is easier to close a factory than to sustain any considerable loss through keeping it in action. Already tomato producers are threatening to reduce crops because they cannot get cost prices for their goods. The public feels that the time of war prices is over and so indeed it is. Values began to fall and wise indeed was the merchant or possessor of any commodify if he accepted the reduction or loss and continued his activity. Large profits had been made by many and now the time has arrived for a return to normal. True values have been reached in practically everything that the public needs. It is therefore useless to wait for further reductions, as they will occur only in isolated cases where someone is pinched. Just as soon as the usual purchasing assumes its proper proportion those thoroughly acquainted with the situation say factories will open and production will return to normal. This will balance trade conditions and abnormal times will end. It is to be hoped that the nation will steady itself at once.
Hog Island There exists some confusion regarding Hog Island and doing? there. Possibly the fact that this city Is so far inland, excuses and Justifies Ignorance. In the first place Hog Island is not an island of hogs nor devoted to them. This island sprang into fame, print and activity as a result of the war. On it was established an immense shipyard and as an emergency war measure its history is remarkable. When submarines were sinking ships. Hog Island was replacing them with new ones, of standard make and assembled quicker than ever was done in the world’s history. Recently the officers of the American International Shipbuilding Corporation, which operated the plant as an agent of the United States shipping board, presented a four-foot key ta a representative of the shipping board and turned the plant over to the shipping board. The confusion to a resident so distant is how that can be done, when the Island represented $140,000,000 spent during the war, and had surplus material which cost $60,000,000 and twenty-eight steel ships valued at $22,000,000. How the whole affair was handled is too panoramic to be followed. The yard, which employed more than 36,000 men at the high tide of Its activity, will be looked after by about 600 men and women. Many of these will be employed in plant protection and in the operation of utilities, such as water supply, heat, light and sewers. Between operating company, shipping board, Charles M. Schwab, auditors, congressional committees and income tax reports which must be made before March 15, It is indeed difficult to determine what Is the status of Hog Island —if it has any status since the war ended.
Sunday Movies It is a question ■where to stand when blue laws are mentioned. Laws are laws, should be enforced without fear or favor and disaster always follows failure impartially to administer them. The average American is •with blue laws like the person reminded that a rolling stone gathers no moss —wants to know who desires moss anyhow. Who really wants a blue Sunday? In parts of Indiana moving picture shows are open Sunday, in others they are forbidden. In Chicago, the board of Sunday schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church approved the moving pictures in Sunday schools recently. The resolution was drawn up by a committee on motion pictures, of which Dr. C. M. Stuart, president of the Garrett Biblical Institution, was chairman, and was adopted unanimously. “The use of the motion picture In the -work of Americanization of aliens and in other Important objects of propaganda leaves us in no doubt as to ite practical value in the field of religious instruction and culture,” says the resolution, which continues: "We heartily commend the use of the motion picture, restricted, as a valid and valued ally of the Sunday school In its work of providing sound instruction and wholesome recreation for our young people. This Is the more easy in view of the increasing number of Biblical and other suitable films now available.” To the movie or not to the movie Is the question, Sunday as well as other days, and it does not seem to make much difference whether the laws permit it. What good purpose do those old blue laws serve anyhow? If the movie is desirable in the Sunday school, why not good enough out of it, too?
Mound Builders Avery worthy work is about to be undertaken by the State department of conservation, in preparing a map to show the location of the remains of the mound builders’ work in Indiana. Dr. W. M. Logan, State Geologist, has charge of the undertaking. This State is rich in archeological lore, in ruins that date back far beyond the Indians and that go into the ages of the mysterious past; of the relics of men unknowm, who lived here centuries ago and are, for want of a better name, called mound builders. It Is the purpose of the State first to gather all available data and then to classify and survey these mounds. Some are supposed to be places of worship and others appear to be built for defense, while others are burial places. All the locations and knowledge eventually will be gathered concerning these mounds. The State asks all the Information available now. It is possible, by surveys and comparisons, to gain gleams of some light from the distant past—at least the'imagination may be quickened and the feeling awakened that something of those long buried people* can be learned. The move to gather this information is certainly in the right direction, as some of the mounds have been destroyed, w r hile others are in danger. Germany Squirms , German authorities refuse to license balls and have restricted entertainments and public carnivals on account of the demand of the entente concerning payment of indemnity and restitution. They thus add injury to insult. It is better to whistle through the woods than to be scared stiff. Germany announced that if she won the war she would exact an indemnity twice as large as the entente has named and now she is trying all the arts within her power to avoid paying the fiddler for her war dance. She even threatens a general strike and some want a plebiscite on whether or not ■he will pay. It would bo better to be Joyful and to pay up quickly.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young" Married Life By Ann Lisle —
CHAPTER CXXXVin—(Continued). | Then strangely enough I found that it wasn’t Betty but Anthony Norreys over whom I was grieving. For he was wounded and maimed, and he had neither beauty nor love to compensate him. So I went over and laid my hand on the wrist above that gloved wooden substitute for the right hand. “What a friend you are! What a friend!” I said. “What a friend you are! Betty is rieh in you and Vee. Whatever comes you girls must make sure that Betty sees nobody can be crippled—except in his own mind. The wounds that have come out of the war are going to secure for life's stepchildren—the lame and the deformed—their rightful place at life's table. Don’t pity Betty, whatever happens. Just love her.” We promised. And then, after arranging to have the car in readiness to start as soon as I heard from Terry, Anthony Norreys took Virginia home. As she kissed me goodby I noticed how tired and wan she looked. “Now what am I going to do?” I found myself asking of space when they had gone. It was only 5 o’clock—and the prospect of the hours until Jim should come home and I could talk it all over with him seemed interminably long. I had so much to tell him, running the gamut from our discovery yt Betty’s whereabouts to the loving farewell kiss Virginia had given me. So it was with a
PUSS IN BOOTS JR. i By David Cory
You remember in the last story that the icebergs on which Puss Junior and the mermaid were traveling was smashed all to smithereens. "That was too bad,” said Puss. “I thought we were going to have a fine trip.” “How would you like to visit the court of the Mer King?” asked the mermaid. "Oh, lovely!" cried Puss Junior. “Come along, then,” said the mermaid. “Follow me straight down, for I think we are not very far from the Coral Palace where King Soaphus holds court." Placing the palms of her hands together, diving fashion, she gave her pretty tail a kick-off, and away she went, head downwards, through the water. Puss Junior followed her example, somewhat surprised at the ease with which he executed this difficult maneuver. In a short time they found themselves on the bottom of the ocean. In the distance could be seen the dim outline of a magnificent castle of pluk and white coral. Leadlhg up to it was a wide highway, flanked on either side with beautiful seagrass and dotted here and there, like milestones, stood columns of beautiful coral. “Why, it’s very much like the earth!” exclaimed Puss Junior as he swam up the broad highway. “Only one doesn’t walk, and it's not dusty, and It’s not hot and sunny!’’ "No, Indeed,” said the mermaid. “But sometimes we have a pest of watergnats that are worse than mosquitoes, and we have to put up netting on our bedroom windows to keep them out." As she finished speaking, they approached the door of the castle, on which she knocked with a flap of her tinny tail. It was Immediately opened by a mermaid dressed in the uniform of a court page, who bowed and said, “What can I do for you, Your Illghuess?" "Why, are yon a Prlnoesg Mermaid?" asked Puss Junior in surprise turning quickly to his companion and forgetting for the moment that they were on the steps of a real merman's castle. The little mermaid only laughed in reply and, taking Puss Junior by the hand, led him through the coral doors into the palace of King Seaphus.

shock like the prickle of cold spray that I remembered that Jim had said he might not be home to dinner. Then the phone rang. It was Carlotta Sturges inquiring for Betty. 1 told her our news. “Weren't you going to let me know?” she asked almost reproachfully. Remembering all her kindly Interest, I assured her that I would have phoned her, and I think I meant It in spite of ray discovery that her 'ather's company had ruined Jim's father. After all, vengeance was not mine. And in spite of her father’s business methods and her own friendship with Pat Dalton, Carlotta Sturges bad won a right to my kindness. A long, lonely interval after Carlotta’s call, and then the telephone again. It was Jim. I blurted out that we had founnd Betty. “Great! Bully! Didn’t I tell you so?” he cried, almost absent-mindedly. “Now you’ll be In a moo’d to celebrate my forming anew firm. Meet me at the Occident Theater at 8:15.” “But, Jim—must 1 have dinner alone?” I cried. “Oh, cheer up; that won’t hurt yen. Just think how happy you are nbqut Betty and cut out the whimpering. Meet me at 8:15. And mind you look sweet. No grouch, now.” “All right," I promised. “But yon haven’t told me who’s in the new firm. Jim —Jim" But Jim had rung off.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

Economy and Selection of Food—ln these days of high food costs, It Is more important than ever to spend money wisely frfr food, tt is vital that we get our money's worth. A good rule to follow as to food expenditures is as follows: For a family of five spend at least as much for milk as for meat and fish, and as for fruit and vegetables. 2. Tho proper care of food at home, on Ice In summer and covered so as to protect t from flies and dust, and un necessary handling at all tmes will help to keep down disease. 8. Attention to diet, especially a qnart of milk a day for each growing child, will build bodies capable of (/.dating •disease. We know that children and adults, too, must have certain things in their diet for normal growth. These vltamines or growth-producers are found in milk and the fresh vegetables. Most people do not get enough of these foods, but an adequate supply will prevent much tuberculosis.
