KOW EVERY ONE will miss those sharp paragraphs about Mr. Burleson’s mail service! THE DOPESTERS will now entertain us with a few more bad guesses as to how many State appointees will be retired by Goyernor McCray. THE TIME is fast approaching when Governor McCray will be called upon to retain in office the appointees of his predecessor on the grounds that “they are such nice gentlemen.” IT IS TIME to shed tears for all the wasted efforts of the Jewett administration on that purchasing agent’s bill that it forgot to introduce in the Legislature! ONE DOES NOT have to go to Sherman drive to ascertain the extent of the Insolence of negro ash haulers. They sometimes visit other parts of Indianapolis. THE HOWL of the News about that bill handicapping independent candidates leads one to believe in the story that it intends to run Counsel Holtzman, independently, this year! THE POLICE are now destroying liquor seized from bootleggers. It was, of course, impossible to do this as long as there was a method of distributing it for “use in this office.” THOMAS STERRETT, another of the convicts that Judge Collins favored, has been captured after escaping from the penal farm, which is a felony under Indiana law. Doubtless the “nationally noted probation system” also Includes a method of dodging that penalty, too! WITH A CONFIDENCE characteristic of this age, Wellesley College women raised §127,479 in less than a week for their school, wholly among women. They hope to get a substantial part of $2,700,000 unaided, yet it was not long that the education of womeif was thought superfluous. The Legislature Hie outstanding feature of the first legislative session of the administration of Governor McCray seems to be the tremendous total of its appropriations from the public treasury. With the end in sight It appears that the present session will hang up a record of approximately ten and a half million dollars —a sum that is staggering and sure to create an unjust Impression of the lawmakers. The tremendous appropriations of this session of the Legislature are the direct results of the so-called business administration of Jame3 P. Goodrich. These millions of dollars will go to the rehabilitation of the State institutions that were starved and neglected during the four years that Goodrichism was in full sway. The deplorable condition of these institutions does not represent the effects of economy or of good business sense. It is a condition that was brought about by a policy of skimping in public and spending in private Indiana did not enjoy a surcease from taxes while its institutions were being starved. Nothing was saved to the State, no good was accomplished The expenditures of the State were at the average level, but the Institutions were neglected. Money that should have been spent to keep Indiana Institutions up to their pre-Goodrich standards was diverted to other uses where its dissipation appears to have been accomplished without having provoked so much as a legislative investigation. For example, one has only to cite the State highway commission’s money spending proclivities to explain why the educational and charitable institutions of the State suffered. A fraction of the 37 per cent overhead which the State board of accounts found to be a part of the cost of each mile of permanent road built under Goodrich, expended on a State institution would have cut down, considerably, the amount of money It was necessary for the Legislature to appropriate for the institution at this session. The record of this assembly is not without its flaws. It has passed some good legislation and some bills that were wholly vicious. Next to its extraordinary appropriation record, probably the most remarkable thing about it Is the manner in which it has ignored the Interests that are represented in the State by the Indianapolis News. Its members appeared to b$ unimpressed either by the propaganda or rebukes" that appeared in the columns of that newspaper from time to time. With great regularity the assembly refused its approval to measures for which the News lobbied harder than aDy of the lobbyists who were open enough to register. Not Infrequently the lawmakers showed their unconcern by enacting laws that the News opposed. It was not ever thus in Indiana affairs. Perhaps this Legislature ought to be remembered more for its independence of the one big combination of bipartisan bosses than for any other one thing!

The Expensive Diamond It Is told that In the days of the pioneer, instead of giving the bride-to-be a diamond engagement ring, anything of value wa3 presented. The effect was just the same and heroes and heroines married and lived happily ever afterwards. This may reoccur If the price of diamonds continues so high. In 18S0 excellent diamonds cost the public SIOO a carat; in 1919 the price was S7OO. They are a trifle lower now. Prices depend upon the size, color, brilliancy and cutting, but the above was the price quoted for a high quality stone. It is further found that the United States Imports almost ninety million dollars' worth a year, in spite of the fact that some diamonds are found in Arkansas. Most of them come from South Africa, while the Belgian Congo fields supply a few and so does Brazil. One company mines 98 per cent of the world’s output and about five million carats are yearly produced. For some reason diamonds have not become cheap, in spite of the continued production. Years of accumulation do not make them less valuable, but quite the reverse. It hT obvious that the average young man cannot begin his married life with an engagement ring of two or three carats, so the custom should go back to the times of our forefathers. A spoon, fork, a silver buckle did win a charming bride then, why not now. The Will to Do The story told Ruth Wagner, a blind Chicago girl, Is most interesting. She lost her sight at the age of 8 yea-s and at 21 graduated from high school on the honor roll. She is a student in the third year university work. The secret of her position in life in her own words "Mother never let it make any difference, so I never got the habit of thinking of myself as blind” contrasts most remarkably with the attitude of fimsa who give up, engage in serf-pity and finally soek alms of friends or the slSite. The loss of a faculty is indeed a misfortune, but life offers so much, if one will blit take it, and such sure compensation exists that a brave heart is fully half the battle. But the greatest handicap is equally open to the person with all his faculties. The habit of self-pity and of depending upon some outside influence is most demoralizing. It is bad for individuals, and for communities Asking State aid for highways or schools is a lazy attitude, breeding shiftlessness to a community and undermining the entire character of its citizens. * ' - ' Many of the greatest successes have been accomplished under handicap. In Indiana the blind have exceedingly notable examples of great development and wonderful achievements by individuals. It all grows out of the mental habit, similar to the Chicago girl, of not thinking themselves blind. It comes from a determination to be useful, anyhow. All must and do live and physical short comings are but relative. We live under a Government which assures each life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and It is very largely up to the individual how much he will ■ccept. Others have made successes of life Jhd it can be done.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CXLV (Continued) •Til have my lunch while you're with her,” said Miss Moss, carrying on the new tradition that the third person singular feminine pronoun could hare no antecedent other than Betty. “That will give you a chance to —visit.” Sire took me to the door, opened it and murmured: ‘Here's Mrs. Harrison, dear.” There I was on the threshold of Betty’s rooms wanting suddenly to run away and cry far more than I did to go In and face Betty all bandaged and pale. ‘‘Anne, Anne —you found me!” cried a tired voice like a little ghost of Betty’s warm, vibrating tones. In another second I was at Betty's bedside. kissing her soft cheeks and her burning forhead and holding her cold left hand against my throat. “Yes, dear. I’ve found you. And I'm going to stay with you as long as you'll let me.” I whispered. Betty snatched her hand to brush away two or three tears that had gotten as far as the ends of her long eyelashes. Then she smiled whimsically. “I’m so brave and self-sufficient," shre said. “I plan well enough to save you from being bothered about me, and then go blubbering for Joy whan you upset my plans and find me out.”

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how tile many present-day problems of the homo are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living | with them.) In the Hooper home Monday was a day of general inspection, as well as of picking up. Because of the whole day occupancy of the house by the entire family on Sunday it had a disarranged look that never marked It at other times. In the living room separated pages of father’s Sunday paper and ashes from his pipe seemed to lie everywhere. Helen's music was strewn over the piano, sofa pillows had strayed from their accustomed places, books were missing from their niches on the shelves and telltale evidence of the presence of the young* friends of Roger and Helen could be traced In the wake of misplaced furniture. This Monday- morning untidiness that always took several hours to clear away, as well as her dislike of spending part of Sunday evening gorting and preparing soiled clothes for the laundry, were the reasons fur Mrs. Hooper's change of her washday from Monday to Tuesday. With Monday entirely free from any set tasks she could use it ns a day of preparation for the well regulated routine of the remainder of the week. As there was no marketing to be done this morning—all three meals being assembled from Sunday's leftovers —Mrs. PUSS IN BOOTS JR* By David Cory. Puss Junior and Ms little friend the Gnome walked for some distance, until they came to a beautiful waterfall, down whose silvery sheen slid numerous water sprites end water falrlee. “Over yonder,” exclaimed the Gnome, "lives the Fairy of the and It ts from her I am going to ask for the pond Illy seeds, which, I am told, upon eating will make you your natural size again.” The Fairy’9 honse was a most enchanting place. Made of brilliant crystals. It shone In\the sun and cast many varied hues, like'the colors of a rainbow. But inside It was even more exquisite, for all her fair subjects, the flower fairies and the woodland fays, had filled It with many beautiful things. Puss stopped at the doorway, and bending down, peeped In. There was a room looking as if made of glass, but really of pure crystal, draped here and there with beautiful laces, no doubt spun by the spiders kept by the fairies for thnt purpose. This room was filled with fairies about as large as your thumb, dancing berp and there and singing a low, sweet song. They began to dance more slowly when they saw Puts looked at them, and in a few min-utes stopped altogether. Then tie largest fairy of all, who was very beautiful, on catching sight of Puss Junior's admiring face, exclaimed: “No wonder you feel so faint, my little elves, and. The hot air Is pouring In upon us from a fiery furnace outside. Look here, my giant friend,” she added, coming up to Puss, “If you want to see how we live, you mustn't hold your mouth open with astonishment. Your breath is very hot to ns little people!" With that the mischievous queen Jumped quite unexpectedly on Puss Junior's nose and gave It a sharp pinch. "Don't cry,” said the fairy In a cheery voice. “I only wanted to let you know what I could do, but I am ready to be polite as yon wish.” "May it please your highness,” Interposed the Gnome, who at this point squeezed himself between Pops Junior’s legs and entered the door, "to give my little friend a drop of your crystal wine in order that he may regain his shape again.” The Fairy Queen looked politely Inquisitive. “Yon see, your highness,” the gnome went on to explain, "he has eaten too heartily of the gnome cake, and that, together with a gobletful of gnome watermellon wine, has caused him much Inconvenience, as well as an entire change of shape.” No sooner had he finished speaking than the queen called the waterfall fairy, the brook fairy and yet another, somewhat smaller, named Violet Water. ’Hasten,” she said to them when they had assembled before her, "hasten to make a draught of crystal wine that little Puss Junior may drink It and assume ouce more his natural shape. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

“No more ‘saving us,’ please, dear! We were scouring the world for yon, Terry and Jeanie and Tony and I —and Jim,” 1 added censcleusly. “Why, I worried you! I’m so sorry, Anne. Didn’t you get the note* I sent the morning we came here? I gave them and the money for the stamps to our laxl driver—special deliveries to you. and Tony and Jeanie, and a telegram for Terry.” I laughed In relief at this clearing up of the mystery of the note I bad received “three days after date.” “Well, the taxi driver decided to spare 6 cents to his conscience fund In the end. He mailed the letters. Now, about you, dear. Are you strong enough to talk? Will you tell me a little bit about It all?” "It was my arm, Anne. It got worse and worse all the time.

Shall I call him?” — Copyright, 1921. (To be continued.)

Hooper sent Betty out to play In the sandbox and put on her bungalow apron over her housedress and began her round of the rooms. She carried a notebook and pencil 1n her apron pocket and Jotted down everything she wished to remember In connection with her tour of lnspectlfiu. When the clothes were being sorted for the wash their condition was carefully noted and those that were hopeless as future wearing apparel were discarded or converted Into rags for dusting or cleaning; or in the case of wornout bed or table linen they were set aside for emergency bandages. Into Mrs. Hooper’s notebook at this point wept the reminder that Roger Deeded some new handkerchiefs and that Helen must have anew j air of bloomers. On her retprn to the kitchen she Inspected the pantry and listed the food staples that were necessary for the week. When her housework was finished and every nook and cranny of the place had been examined, there was no accumulation of waste rags or paper or boxes to form the nucleus off. new week's litter because everything that could not be used again was discarded* her clothes were ready for the wash next morning and In her note book was a list of the j things she needed In every department of her home, as well ae> a reminder of all the repairs that had to be made by Roger, or by the plumber or the carpenter as the ease might be, and of tha various things that Helen would be ex- ’ pected to attend to In the matter of mending before the Inspection day next j week. i When she and the children were havI tng their tea in front of the fireplace in the afternoon, she referred to the notebook from which Roger and Helen always expected to hear her read on Monday afternoons. It was not supposed to be mentioned again, but of course, they sometimes forgot. “Helen,” she said, “there are two sofa pillow cover* to be mended on the living room couch; Betty must have put her foot through them, and a tear in Roger’s rag rug In front of his bed: a stain from a glass of water to be cleaned on the big table and a little hole to be darned In the curtain on the bathroom window We have been a careful family in your department this week haven't we dear?” "I suppose yon found no end of things that I'll have to tinker with though,” growled Roger. “I/et's see.” She peered into the derths of the notebook. ( "Thre’s a loose hinge on the screen door in the kitchen; a broken hook In father's clothes closet ,a frayed cord on the electric Iron and a bent bracket on the electric light In the cellar.” “Oh, that's not so much," said Roger cheerfully. “I’ll do those before dinner.

CURWOOD MAKES ‘ISOBEL’ A GRAND OLD NAME Clayton Appears to Advantage in New Movie—Tearle at Colonial

George Cohan has made “Mary” a grand old name on the stage, and It remained for James Oliver Curwood to make- the name of Isobel as famous on the screen. Mr. Curwood has been successful In using nature for his pictures, and he has made appropriate use of a big snow storm and blizzard in “Isobel,” of “The Trail’s End.” Most of the scenes of this new Curwood movie take place In the far north, where the natives live In snow huts, and where men fight in the open to possess the object of their desires. In this snow-covered country Curwood has staged a movie story. It Is the old story of the love of a good woman for a man. The woman goes Into exile becaus the man she loved Is supposed to have murdered a man. A child Is born. In the meantime the Royal Mounted Police are hot on the man's trail. House Peters >s cast as a member of the mounted police force, and the story show* that the big, strong members of the force <!Un be ns human as an Indianapolis copper on a beat. I do not know the name of the cute youngster used In some of the scenes, but this little trick is as clever and pretty a youngster as one weald wish to see. Curwood has staged his storm and snow scenes In fine taste. There are many beautiful scenes In this picture which proves that Mr. Curwood is a man of vision and understanding. Jane Novak Is cast as the woman who i faces the storms of the great north. She | proves that she is able to put on a hysterical scene with telling effect. This scene is effective because Miss Novak does not appear to overact. She hasn’t as much to do In this movie as Mr. Peters hns, but when she appears this actress dominates the scene. Mr. Curwood has surrendered to the happy ending Idea, and I think the picture would be more convincing If he would allow ns fans to leave the theater guessing If the big mounted police officer and the woman found complete happiness at last. 1 know very well that the public demands a happy ending and Mr. Curwood Is a wise producer. By simple strokes of directing, Mr. Curwood has created a number of big scenes In the land of snow. “Isobel” will linger long in your momery as a pleasing experience In the theater At the Circle all week.—W.

YIELDS TO THE LURE OF THE FILMS

The latest person of note to yield to the lure of the screen and its big “salaries,” is Miss Dickson, the dancer, who was recently prominent in the stage production of the musical comedy, "Lassie.”

some famous players, opened yesterday at the Colonial In “The Road to Ambition,” a movie with an industrial baefc- ! ground. Because of tbe industrial prob- ' Ism considered In this movie, “The Itosd to Ambition" might be termed a man's movie. The movie Is a version of a novel by Elaine Sterne and as usual the producer ha* humped np against the problem of transplanting the printed story to the screen so as not to loose the Identity of the original story, i Mr Tearle Is supported by Florence Billings, Gladden James, Florence Dixon, Tom Brooks and others. There Is plenty of action In the story starting with a fight In the steel mill*. Tearle has the part of a worker In tbe mills who is always looking forward to better things. He labors with an Invention which Is worth ‘millions, and finally completes It. A millionaire has many ambitions and ' starts to achieve them. One of them Is ! to become the master of the steel lndusI try In his town. The other Is to marry the girl he loves, but who scorns him. He arrives at the realisation of both of these ambitions, but thereby hangs a tale. The girl he marries detests him as a brutal fighter In a fight which she witnessed at the mills. Not even the polish of the millionaire can take away her feeling against him. But the unexpected happens near the end of the story, and the road to ambition ends at the gate to happiness. The bill at the Colonial this week also Includes the Lee children in “The Dixie Madcap,” a charming comedy.

SOS S DOROTHY DICKSON.

Miss Dickson is making her movie debut at the Ohio this week In George Fitzmaurlce's “Paying the Piper.” She Is supported by a good cast. Including Alma Tell and George Fawcett.

“LAMP" MOVIE PROVES HISTORY IS INTERESTING. A good Illustration of the use of the moTles In causing the public to appreciate the value of certain Inventions Is well reflected In "The Porcelain Lamp,” a movie showing the development of gasoline driven vehicles, which was shown twice last night before two capacity houses at Engllsh'B. This movie practically opened the Indianapolis automobile show. School children of the city saw the film this morning at the Circle. "The Porcelain Lamp” has been given a good story—a story which illustrates naturally the develop 'snt of gasoline driven vehicles. This movie is Interesting and highly educational. The skill In which “gasoline’ ‘ has been made into a movie is a credit to the producer. i'he fact that romance can be woven about a commercial undertaking, and be presented to the public In the form of an entertaining movie opens up a field to be developed In the future. Mayor Charles Jewett and Senator Van Orman spoke to the capacity crowd which attended the first performance. The picture takes up the history of the evolution of transportation, lta problems and needs, and compares ancient methods with the present development of the automobile. % -I- -|- -II.OIS WEBER ASKS A QUESTION AND ANSWERS IT ON SCREEN. Miss Lois Weber has asked a question. It Is—What's Worth While? After asking the question, she answers it by making a movie called “What's Worth While,” which Is the current offering at the Isis. Miss Weber causes Claire Windsor, a sweet and pretty movie person, to ask the question In the person of Phoebe Morrison. Now this Phoebe person Is one of those creatures who has been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has been Gained to associate with those who are only her equals. Os course that limits girl's choice of a husband. One day she comes across a picture of a man named Elton. He fs just one of the common herd who makes his soup sound like an orchestra and probably would use his knife to eat peas if that vegetable was Berved ter him. Phoebe so arranges it that eho goes West and meets the man of the picture. She loses her head over him, but he understands that Phoebe is not of his class. He tells her to trot back East. It Is then that PhoeDe learns what Is worth while. So they both decide to eliminate the social barrier between them, Elton learns how to wear a dregs suit and control his soup. The climax of the story of course Is developed ns only Lois Weber can do It. Louis Calhern plays the role of the common person. -I- -I- -IMR. MIX AND HIS AUTO TURN OUT TO BE A COMEDY PAIRWhen a daring cowboy “swaps” his horse for a broken-down automobile, It la a snfo bet that something is going to happen In a comedy way, especially when Tom Mix handles both the auto and the horse. That Is what happens In “The Road Demon," now at the Regent. This Is Mr. Mlx'g contribution to the automobile movie comedy. Mix is forced to “tame" tbe automobile as he would a horse, and in the end he turns out to he a speed demon. Mix Is supported by Claire Anderson, Charles K. French, Harold Goodwin and. others. At the Regent all week. -I- -I- -I- . MIGHT BE GOOD REA DIN’, BUT ONLY FAIR TO SEE. Upton Sinclair’s stoiy, “The MoneyChangers,” might be a good yarn. We don’t review the books. Evidently, Benjamin Hampton, movie producer, could see only the “yellow” in Sinclair's story

—a' of underworld life when he mad* th# story Into a movie. After seeing this adaptation of Sinclair’s story I do not care to see any more of his stories turned into movies. X am not wild to spend the time reading his stuff, If the movie producer has truthfully visualized his story. Those who like underworld stuff will find enough of that sort of thing In “Th* Money Changers," which opened a weok’* engagement yesterday at Mister Smith’s. Btories like these give one the impression that the average man has a little “hop” or drug Joint somewhere around the corner and also a victim of the white slave traffic waiting for film. Some of the underworld “Chink” scenes, where a Chinaman attempts to make love to a white girl, could be clipped from the movie and in so doing would make It better entertainment. “If "The Money Changers” reflects life in New York City, it is about time that Noah gets out his ark and gathers in the animals, because another flood is due. We have seen the same sort of stuff on the stage in the past but not lately, as tbe stage seems to have advanced beyond the “dope” era. At Mister Smith’B all week.—W. D. H.
