The Ways of a Jury One of the ways in which the responsibility for the administration of law goes to the citizens is in the duty required of a juror in court. The jury Is to determine the facts of a case —to settle the dispute, as to the truth or falsity of the allegations on which the case rests. It is credited to Lincoln that he said even the Almighty could not tell what a Jury will do. To be a juror Involves no little accountability, for it consists In determining in civil matters how much, if any, of a man's money is to be taken from his fast grasp and given to the other litigant. Two recent dispatches show what is done at times. An Ontario jury awarded $15,000 to one for the alienation of his wife’s affection by his brother. Another at Cleveland gave a like sum against a street car company for an accident which incapacitated a man from dancing during the remainder of his life. In other words, in Cleveland the ability to dance Is as valuable as is the affections of a wife in Ontario —the jury, under instruction of learned court and counsel so determined. So cases could be multiplied without number. Perhaps the old verdict attributed to a Maine jury is typical. In a suit on a note for $75 an answer was made that the note was a forgery, that the person sued never executed it at all. The jury found a verdict of $37.50 against him. If any one has something better than a jury to suggest, in the administration of law, and that improvement has not been tried, let him step forward and explain. Teachers and German An association of patriotic teachers in Indiana is now advocating the teaching of the language of Germany in the schools for some reason unknown to the layman. In the Legislature a bill is pending to permit only native or naturalized Americans to teach. The place of teacher is no sinecure, at best, either as regards remuneration or wear and tear on physical or nerve force; also, this being a profession intellectual in the extreme, it is surprising that such legislation is needed. As the layman cannot see why German should be taught, after discovering that the teaching of the language was the corner stone of Germany’s insidious hopes for the wrecking of other governments, including our own, and the exploiting of her “kultur” on all others, it is useless to try to guess. It is remarkable that teachers can see the necessity of youths spending valuable time on this study. Then the question arises as to permitting aliens to teach in schools. Since thtere is no doubt as to the finished product desired, so to speak, of the teacher; since only American youths are wanted from the schools, and not German or Polish, or Balkans, it appears peculiar that laws should be desired requiring the teachers to be 100 per cent American, and to take an oath of allegiance. It is true that great responsibilities rest on the conduct of those who Instruct the younger element of the community, both for the example and the precept. Impressions are easily made on young minds. Assuming without violence to any fact, the loyalty of the teacher and the knowledge of this responsibility, it Is funny that a law should be required to compel the teacher to be what it is conceded the pupil must be. How Is an alien teacher to make 100 per cent American pupil? Why should a teacher champion the greatest propaganda of a foreign country —that of the teaching of the German language? What product can an alien teacher be expected to produce, with an alien language championed by patriotic teachers, taught as a necessary part of an education? * It is peculiar that so mixed a situation should for one minute follow a war with such sacrifices as those just made, and that teachers who are patriotic and most sacrificing, should be asked to take an oath of allegiance to the United States. Their indorsement of the teaching of an alien enemy's language has led to much confusion.

Costly City Government Regardless of the very evident efforts of the News-Jewett combination to make it appear that the financial record of the city administration for 1920 is an excellent one. the fact remains that $3,354,372 mort was expended by the city in 1920 than in 1919. This sum was an increase of 68 per cent and not by the wildest stretch of imagination can it be made to appear that the cost of government increased normally 68 per cent In the year. With the statement that the city administration met increased expenses and still had an increased balance on hand at the end of the year there will be dispute. There certainly should have been no difficulty In meeting increased costs and still increasing the balance in view of the fact, also contained In the report of Controller Bryson, that the Income of the city from taxation and temporary loans in 1920 was $1,117,222.14 more than the Income from the same sources in 1919. The test of the efficiency of the city administration lies not in the amount of the balance at the end of the year, but in the sum total of the expenditures. The balance of today might easily be the deficiency of tomorrow. It fluctuates just as does the checking account of a private business and is seldom, if ever, an indication of the true financial condition, no matter how much effort may be made to make it appear that it i3. The report of Controller Bryson discloses that the expenditures of the city government in 1920 were $3,354,372, or 68 per cent greater in 1920 than in 1919. Whether or not these expenditures equaled or exceeded the amount of money available for spending is not important. Where this money went and why its expenditure was necessary are the things that will continue to interest the taxpayer and concerning that the Jew ett crowd says nothing. The taxpayer knows that as long as he has any property left the financial condition of the city will be good He also knows that as long as the taxing unit continues to take an increased amount of money from him in the form of taxes, it will be possible for the Indianapolis News to declare truthfully that “Finances of City Show Healthy Gain.” But it must now be self-evident to the taxpayer that an increase in the cost of operating the city of Indianapolis of 68 per cent in one year la utterly different from his conception of “economical administration.” The expenditure of $8,622,718.33 by the city in one year is sufficient to cause 6ome real thinking in Indianapolis. This sum is greater than the total of all taxes of any kind collected in Marion County only a few years ago. Throughout the first two years of the Charles W. Jewett administration no constructive program was undertaken and in explanation the proponents of the administration declared that war financing made an economical administration necessary. They claimed credit for such an administration. , In the third year of the Jewett regime no constructive program was undertaken and its absence was explained on the" grounds that the high costs of construction made it necessary to forego improvements and “economize.” Again the Jewett proponents claimed credit for a businesslike, "economical'’ administration. Now, it develops, the Jewett administration tn its third year, without a constructive program, increased expenditures 68 per cent over the year previous, and actually spent more money than was ever before spent in one year by the city of Indiaiiapolis! And in explanation and defense of this tremendous outgo, the proponents of the Jewett administration say that the "increased cost of maintenance of the city were met fully” and “more substantial balances were left in all the city’s funds than in many years.” We do not know whether Mr. Jewett’s administration is trying to apologize for not expending all the money It had and could borrow, or whether it is merely trying to justify the increase of 68 per cent in its expenditures on the theory that even then there was money left. In either case, the cold figures disclose that the last remnant of its claim to an "economical and business-like administration” has gone the war of all ita other promise*. *

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

CHAPTER CXXXlX—(Continued) Hardly waiting for Jim’s nod of approval, he hailed a taxi and was whirled away. “Might as well chase in and see the beginning of the show,” said Jim. “I’ll leave the tickets in the box office. West'll guess where they are all right.” I managed to swallow all comments, exclamations, objections and questions and meekly' preceded Jim into the theater and down the aisle to the stage box. The opening chorus was already on, but I received my reward for amiability and discretion when Jim stopped swiftly in the shadow of the heavy curtains at the back of the box and kissed me. “The front of the box for yours, little lady,” he whispered. “You look pretty enough to divide applause with the front row chorus.” “How about the star?” I asked, preening myself pertly and making ready with great delight to flirt with my Jim. “Infant, you look as if you might be her granddaughter.” Jim laid his fingers on my shoulder and propelled me to the front of the box. I could feel the magnetism of his touch through the chiffon of my dress, and tingled with happiness. But when I reached to take liis hand he drew it away quickly and busied himself with his progra m. “Want to look like a couple of honeyniooners from the country?” he whis-

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory

King Seaphus waited anxiously as the knocking on the castle door continued. “Billows and breakers,” he exclaimed again, expectantly waiting for the visitor to be announced. Just as his impatience was nearly exhausted, a court page appeared escorting a Polar Bear and a Starfish. Puss Junior at once recognized the former as the porter on the Ice Berg Express. The visitors bowed respectfully to the king, and the little Star fish winked one of his five small eyes at the Princess. The Polar Bear smiled at Puss Junior, but said nothing. “Well,” exclaimed King Seaphus, after a brief silence, “you honor me fiy your • presence, but what do you want?” “I want redress,” cried the Star fish in a queer little gurgle. “You want what?” thundered the king, realizing how that his visitors were looking for damages on account of tile accident. This naturally worried him, ns he was a heavy stockholedsr In the Sea Bottom Subway. “One of my five fingers has been badly bruised,” continued the Star-fish, for which reason I shall sure for damages.” “I have suffered Internal Injuries,” said the Polar Bear, speaking up quickly, encouraged by the Independent maimer of the Star fish. “Internal Injuries!” laughed the King, "infernal fiddlesticks; l have heard that tune before!” ‘Tour Highness,” interposed the Starfish, “my condition is quite serious. As I have but five fingers, to have one of

pered, with an annoyance that was only partly masked. His tender mood had passed. But I couldn’t readjust myself so rapidly. ‘Toil haven't told me a thing about the new firm,” I ventured under cover of a number when the chorus was cavortiiig to its own loud song. “Can’t you wait until the end of the act?” asked Jim with impatience that said clearly, “Let me alone I Don’t you see I want to enjoy the show?” I was hurt and crept Into my shell, making no effort to change Jim’s mood. We sat in silence during several numbers, and I was almost relieved when and stir in the tiny foyer, Just outside our box, told me that Mr. West and the girls had arrived. Jim and I slipped back for a quick greeting and then found our places again. Phoebe sat next to me at the rail with Dick West behind her. Now and then he leaned forward to whisper to her, but steadily from tile back of the box where Evvy had taken her place with Jim there came the murmur of low voices and ripples of laughter. Evidently Jim wasn’t insisting that Evvy “wait until the end of the act.” The ugly old feeling of neglect and loneliness began taking possession of me once again. I found myself wondering almost eagerly whether Mr. West had Invited another man and who the sixth member of our party was likely to be.— Copyright, 1921. (To be continued.)

them injured Is far worse than to have had one of my feet, for of the latter 1 have hundreds.” The King looked at him Inquiringly. Although he was Monarch of the Sea, perhaps he did not know that a Star fish, while he has hundreds of little feet, has no legs at all. Even ms feet do not move as ordinary feet do, one before the other; they can only cling like little suckers, which pull him slowly along from place to place. “Neither am I like the everyday common fish. My mouth is in the center of my body, and I have a little scarletcolored sieve through which I strain the sea water. I couldn't think of swallowing sea water, with everything that •might tie floating in it.” “Holy mackerel!” exclaimed the King, under his breath. “I’d better settle with this Individual ns quick ns possible. He’ll drive me crazy If I don't, and, maybe, cause nie no end of trouble.” Before ho could answer, the Polar Bear began speaking: “Your Royal Highness, I was hit by a large piece of ice In the chest.” “In the ice chest or in the Ice box?” Inquired the King, his humor getting the better of his anger, for he could never let an opportunity go by to make a pun. “Your Royal Highness,” Interposed the Star flh. But Just then the little Princess began to giggle, so you must wait for the next story to hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

TOURNEUR’S ‘INDIANS’ LOOK LIKE WARRIORS Mac Lean Feeds Chickens Rat Poison—The Shower Bath Is Used in ‘Bubble 9 Movie

It’s good entertainment. That is our verdict of Maurice Tourneur’s film version of Cooper’s “The Last of the Mohicans.” It Is indeed a very difficult thing to make a film version of this good old story and not make it look like a burlesque on a wild west show or a travesty on history. In seeing “The Last of the Mohicans” at the Colonial yesterday afternoon 1 realized that Mr. Tourneur has avoided the many pitfalls which other producers of less vision and wisdom would have fallen into If they had attempted the job of making this romantic story into a screen vehicle. Tourneur has attempted, and appears to have been successful, to retain the romantic side of the story In the film version. He has been able to show the evil effect of whisky on the Indians aud when Influenced by "fire water,” Tourneur allows his Indians to massacre the white settlers right before your very eyes. Then quick as a flash, Tourneur permits the Indians to be wiped off of the map because of their terrible deeds of death. He points out that no race of people can live on a murder record. ; Again, Mr. Tourneur has cleverly made up his “Indians” and has as carefully ! rehearsed them In Indian ways. I have | before me some advance information res gardlng the method used by the directoi in re-creating the 500 Indians needed for this movie. The information is to the effect that 500 extra players had their heads “scalped” to look like real warriors and their hair was oiled and brushed down flat, then bronze silk j stocking caps were pulled tightly over their craniums with the result that they looked like bald Indians. Then small scalping locks or tuffs of hair in wig form were stuck to the “scalps.” It is stated that these “Indians” were used as “background” and that the leading actors for the close-up action actually shaved their heads. Regardless of what method Mr. Tourneur used In making his “Indians" look like the real article, the result has been realistic. There are many beautiful scenes, especially the forest scenes and the old fort. The fight episodes have been well handled. The ending Is tragic and it Is In these scenes that the genius of the director Is bo clearly reflected. The pic* ; ture really ends with a benediction. Opinion: “The Last of the Mohicans" is a worthy attempt to transfer from the printed page to the silver screen one of the best stories ever wrlteen. It Is another Maurice Tourneur achievement. At the Colonial all week.—W. D. IL -|- -(- IT MI ST BE FI N TO BUN A CHICKEN FARM. Douglas Mac Lean’s experiences with I the operation of a chicken farm and his \ love affair with a country miss, who is the owner of a flock of Yancona Ylllies, combine to make an amusing comedy out of the photoplay, "Chickens,” which opened at the Alhambra Sunday to continue during the first *,half of tho week. The chicken farm Idea enters the hero's head when his recently acquired brokendown Ford car crashed Into the barn of the owner of tlie Y'lllles, and be becomes acquainted with her. The part is played by Gladys George, who Is Mac Lean's | newest, lending lady. The amateur chicken fancier Is thrown upon his own resources when his dis honest guardian loses his fortune in , stock speculation, and the successful | operation of his ranch seems impossible ' when the chickens refuse to lay any eggs Not until he feeds them rnt poison by mistake does he obtain enough eggs to make the venture worth while. The love nffalr is given an added Interest by the interruptions of a village lad. who’also lougs to marry the heroine, and wtio obtains a mortgage on the ehlek-l

en ranch when the financial affnira of the hero reach a critical Juncture. The girl, however, come# to his rescue by selling the Y'ancona Yillies and agreeing to become bis wife. Throughout the story are interspersed a number of rural scenes with life-like characters that help in making the photoplay a success. The movie was fashioned after the story, "Yancona Y’lllies." by Herachel Hell, which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. The cast Includes Charles Malles, A1 Elision and Edith Yorks. -I- -I- -ITirF. SHOWER BATH 19 AGAIN A MOVIE ASSET, Tlm shower bath with a slightly transparent scree® has besjn used again In a movie. This Mine, It is the form of Oorlnne Griffith wlhph la reflected in the shower. All thin happens In "Tho Broadway Bubble," which is now in a week's engagement at MUter Smith’s. The swimming pool and the dainty shower was first used In "Male and Female.” Common sense directing has prevented theae shower bath scenes from being shocking or sensational. Such scenes aro apparently used as a “teaser.” "The Broadway Bubble” tells a wellconnected story and it la done very well The story concern# Adricnn# Landneth, who U the wife of a wealthy man. Sh# crave# for a stage career and when things do not go right at home she persuade* her twin sister, Drtnn Lynn, who looks like Adrienne, to take her place in her home. The sister does this because She "loves” Adrienne. Much of the film concerns the efforts of Drina to deceive Adrienne's husband. She succeeds In kindling the love spark in the husband. On the opening night of the play, the husband goes to Uie theater and discovers that his wife is the chief actress o-f the piny. Adrienne faluts and falls down a flight of stage Htnlrs. Tho fail lands her, literally speaking. In the arms of her husband. Some kisses and all is forgiven. There is no place like home and your own, hueband, after all —that's the moral of this movie yarn. Corlnne Griffith plays the dual role and gel# away with it in fine shape. Joseph King plays the role of the husband. The scenes have been well handled, the photography is good and the direction Is capable.

SUNNYSIDE Health Talks By Information Bureau of the Sunnyside Tubercular Sanitarium.

HOW CVN WE FIGHT TIBEK€I’IX>IB DISEASE. Personal hygiene (continued!. Recently we dealt with personal hygiene so far as It concerns the home and food. Now- we shall consider a few things of direct Importance to the individual himself: 1. A regular medical examination by your own physician. This, plus a willingness to follow tho doctor's advice, will do more than any other one thing to find tuberculous disease early, to prevent a'ctlve or advanced tuberculosis. An annual inspection at least is as useful for “the human machine” as for the factory equipment. If we are not to he strapped before our time. 2. Recognizing early symptoms. A persistent cough, fever, unusual tiredness, loss of weight, loss of strength, night sweats, blood spitting these may tnenn the beginning of tuberculosis and should be investigated at once! If you have missed your annual medical examination, go at once to your own physician, or to the city board of health clinic, or to your school or factory clinic, 3. A 11 so of moderation. Excess or strain of any kind may open the door for the latent tuberculous Infection which most of us have, and enablo It to become active disease. This applies to excessive drinking, eating, working, playing or dissipation of any kind. 4. Rest. Eight hours of sleep nightly are necessary for most people If they are to maintain health. A few minutes rest each day before meals will help digestion and build strength. 5. Exercise and recreation. Continuous indoor work with no fresh air nDd outdoor exercise greatly encourages tho tubercle bacillus. All work and no play (especially no outdoor play) “makes Jack a dull boy.” and a weak one when it comes to disease resistance. 6. The will to health. We often hear that “good wages are essential to good health.” It Is often more true that good health Is essential to good wages. Ilenlth is the greatest economic asset in work, In play, in life. Health is essential to a full life. A job to do, a desire to mako good—these require a “will to be healthy.” Next time we shall consider the fight against tuberculosis as a cause of death.

THE SHERWOODS MOVE TO ISIS FOR ENGAGEMENT. After completing a week's engagement at the Lyric, where they made new friends aud retained the admiration of the old ones, Bob and Gayle Sherwood and their singing orchestra are now at the Isis this week for a special engagement. The Sherwoods have a unique method in dispensing their melody as they became a part of the audience. By this method melody comes from about every corner of the theater. Their numbers are well selected, both the vocal and instrumental numbers. The Sherwoods aro a solid hit and have marked box office power as judged by the big business at the Lyric last week. The movie feature at the Isis this week is Thomas Me'ghau in "The Easy Road.” He is supported by Lila Lee and Gladys George. This Meighan person is becoming one of the real Interesting individuals on the screen today. He always can be counted upon to give a satisfactory performance. The story of Meighan’s last movie concerns a novelist, who on winning fame and money settles down with a rich wife to enjoy life. Iu his new surroundings he loses his ideals and nearly loses his wife. Meighan is seen as the novelist who rises to fame and fortune amL then becomes a drifter and a* failure a? a husband. The story has the happy ending. Even the movies must leave a good taste with the silver screen patrons. This Interesting bill is at the Isis all week. -I- -I- -IATTILETIC GEORGE IS “DYNAMITE ALLEN.” George Walsh is happiest when he can put into motion his long arms, double up bis fists and land a knockout blow to the bad man In his movies.

The picture is full of thrills, such a Walsh Jumping from the cab of a speeding locomotive. Edna Murphy, Dorothy Allen and others support Walsh. -I- -IGRIFCTTH MOVIE CONTINUES AT MURAT. “Way Down East," the Griffith movie, continues at the Murat during the week.

HOROSCOPE “The stars Incline, but do not compel!”

TUESDAY, TEB. 2?. This may be a day of sinister impulses and uncertain in actions, according to astrology. The Sun, Venus, Uranus and Saturn are all In malefic aspect. Care should be exercised to avoid all Important decisions and initiative in any line of work will be unlucky. Under this direction of the stars personal aspirations and national ideals may coma into conflict. Men may count self aggrandizement more important than public service. This tendency will be apparent especially in the West. Persons whose blrthdate it is may have a year of some changes and anxieties, but they may assure prosperity by avoiding new enterprises. Children born on this day are likely to be methodical, logical and honest. They may be fond of amusement, but able to succeed In business. —Copyright, 1921.
