(Chicago, Detroit, SL Louis, G. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices (New York, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. SENATOR NEW Is said to be prepared to abandon his bear bunt this year for the pursuit of the votes of the women of Indiana! A PRO-GERMAN "feature' that requires four editorial apologies in one day isn’t the kind of newspaper reading that appeals to good Americans! HAVING PROFITED by the leniency of officials in charging him with assault and battery instead of manslaughter, Maurice Bleweis now wishes to plead that "error” as an excuse for a parole! ONE law violation leads Inevitably to another. If Carl Bernauer had not been allowed to escape the penalty of law violation through the kindness of Judge Collins he would not now be on trial for murder. Jake and Clara No one really expected Clara Hamon to be convicted cf the murder of Jake Hamon, with whom she had lived in shame for years prior to the quarrel in which her revolver "just went ofT, 1 don't know how.” Mawkish sentiment is still too strong in our oourts for the infliction of the legal penalty on a girl who has suffered and is willing to lay bare the affairs of her noisome life in order to arouse this sentiment. But somewhere, some place, someone ought to plead the right of Jake Hamon to have lived out his allotted years. Jake violated the moral laws of the country in about every way he could whenever they interfered with his desires, but so also did Clara. For Jake there is no opportunity to Join church and "cleanse” himself of sin, no contract for the movies waiting signature, no proposals of marriage and no glamour. The liaison between Clara and Jake was not without due consideration, and apparently was not hasty, for we read of contract to care for such offspring as might issue and we read that there were hundreds who knew of the couple’s illicit relationship. Os course the law should have interfered before Clara shot Jake. But Jake was a powerful Influence and the officers of the law failed to attack him. The result is that Jake paid with his life and Clara Is now capitalizing what should be regarded as a cold-blooded murder. Just how much of a burlesque on Christianity this whole affair is will be better realized later on than now. Open Gambling Joints In the presentation to the public yesterday of the affidavit of a man who declares he gambled in what appeared to be police-protected gambling -dens in Indianapolis, the Times is only laying out the evidence concerning a fact that has long been well known. Indianapolis is not free of gambling under the Jewett administration, although more than three years have passed since the mayor promised that the city would not tolerate open gambling houses. In fact, there has never been a time in the last three years when certain pets of the administration have not been permitted to operate gambling houses, although there has been many a bluff put forth as to the “cleanliness” cf the administration. Suppression of such gambling joints as are operated by Rufe Page is not unsurmountably difficult. It cannot be done, however, as long as political support Is the paramount desire of the administration. Whenever the officials of Indianapolis cease trading the privilege of running gambling Joints for votes for favorite candidates, open gambling places will be suppressed. The Indianapolis police force contains men who are fully capable of cleaning up Rufe Page's place and similar Joints. It Is our candid opinion that neither Mr. Taggart nor Mr. McWhirter of the board” of safety desires exceptions to the law to be made In these instances. The influence that keeps them open is exerted either around or over these members of the board of safety. And, in the name of common decency these joints ought to be closed.

Basket-ball If the crowds that visited the fair grounds last week to witness the State basket-ball tournament are a proper criterion there is more Interest in Indiana in this sport than in any other one thing. For it is estimated that the Coliseum never before held such a crowd as witnessed the eventual triumph of the Franklin team. Sport followers generally unite in declaring that Franklin Is deserving of the highest praise, not only for its victory, but also for the clean and intelligent manner in which that victory was, obtained. Basket-ball is a comparatively new sport. There are hundreds of staid business men and fond parents who used to boast of their prowess in athletes who do not know nearly as much about basket-ball as they do about draw poker and for them, doubtless, all this enthusiasm over the game appears strange and rather Incongruous. But it has been demonstrated that basket-ball has a great place in the hearts of Indiana people—greater, in fact, than any other Bport. Indianapolis is proud to have been the host to the thousands of fans and the hundreds of players and it tains all Indiana In congratulating the plucky team from Franklin. The Viewpoint While everyone knows that everything in life is relative, at times somethings seem to shock even those best prepared. In matters of age, China, Is so old that America’s ancient traditions are but as of yesterday. It Is said that the spinning wheels used by the Mayflower Pilgrims—and there must have been many of them —are modern affairs compared with some silk looms of the Far East. For twenty centuries China has been using the same methods, the same implements In Us silk culture. It may well be doubted if any merit can be claimed for this unchangeable and unchanging state of industry or indeed state of intellect The Western mind cannot become reconciled to it, any more than it -would be willing to return to the old spinning wheel of as late as a huudred years ago. The American particularly studies to advance. There Is nothing sacred about the way his ancestors worked nor how they generally acted. Some Df their truisms, some of their Ideals are retained, but It is impossible to think of going back, even a generation, in anything mechanical. The wonderful silks of the Orient command the admiration of the world; the great power of the Oriental to absorb any other people inspires political awe; the reverence of the Chinese for his ancestors compels respect, but to the Westerner all this is not worth the price of a year’s progress. Who would do without modern plumbing, forego electricity which its manifold applications to human comforts, and do away -with a thousand labor saving devices for race, creed or past ancestors? The East Is east and the West is west, and the viewpoint of each is obscured to the other. Courtesy A pathetic little incident Is told of ex-Pvesldent Wilson, when the latter was at the Capitol Just before the Inauguration of President Harding. General Pershing called to shake hands with the President, who said, "Excuse me, general, for not rising.” The President -was not able physically to salute this officer as he desired and, of course, was excused. The compliment which can be paid by rising to the feet is so natural where good taste Is used that this little Incident, pathetic enough, shows the habit of courtesy as constantly expressed in places of high estate. There is no reason why such fine courtesy should not exist in all walks of life. The deference shown to age or to the opposite sex by rising to the feet is a sign of good breeding. It Is like all other courtesies, the cost is nothing and even If given -where it is not appreciated, the giver is r.ot s loser. If this alone were observed by men towards their wives and mothers, a revolution in good manners would be noted, for it would be met by graciousness, springing naturally in response to the first movement. If two world characters, on meeting at such a history-making time could naturally observe this genuine courtesy, should not ordinary men at least be equally as considerate -with each other and with their wives and mothers? \

Other Interesting articles on New Zealand written by W. I>. Boyce, owner of the Times, who is leading a “West by Southwest” expedition to the little known lands of the South Pacific, are on the way for Times readers. Mr. Boyce has sent back many pictures, too, and tomorrow, in these columns will be shown some pictures of Auckland, capital city of New Zealand, taken from the air. On the above map of New Zealand Auckland is seen on the narrow neck of land in the north of North Island. On the east, where the city stands, is the Pacific Ocean; on the west is the Tasman Sea. New Zealand consists of North Island. South (or Middle) Island, and little Stewart Island, the total area of the three islands being nearly twice the size of .the State of Florida. The scenic wonders of North and South Islands are remarkably different, as will be seen from Mr. Boyce’s future articles.

WHEN A (URL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CI.XVII. "Hop In, Itiiby.” laughed Sheldon, seizlug PUoehe by the elbows Mini swinging her into the place next to him at the wheel, ns we started on our trip to Chinatown. Again Ilek West glowered, but before long his rum ding laughter seemed to convey ihe idea that Evvy was managing to cheer him up ns they set huddled so far In one corner of the tonneau that 1 had most of the big seat to myself. Suddenly Tom Mason turned from the ohatr seat he was occupying and gauged first the empty space and then tuy face in the semi-darkness. "Always room for one more?” he suggested In a wheedling voice." “Please, no; I hate crowding,” I replied In a matter of fact tone that scotched the embroyanlc teutimeut at once. Tom paid no further attention to me, and when we got to Cheng Filey’s of the sinister hack entrance, and had passed up Into the lantern-hung danrn hall, he swung Evvy out on the dance floor, while Sheldon followed with Phoebe, leaving me to the now saturnine I>lek West. "Dancing?” he asked. “No," I replied as tersely. “AH right I'm glad. I want to talk to you. Phoebe likes you. Why dnu't you say a good word for your husbaud's partner?" “Phoebe's a baby,” I continued. “So Blake calls her but he doesn’t treat her like one." "He's an old friend of Jim's. 1 expect he knew Phoebe in the cradle,” I replied, trying to make light of the situation ‘•'Veil, he knows she's out of the cradle now—and a darn attractive girl. And I'm Jim's partner—-that ought to entitle me to as many privileges— ” Mercifully then the music stopped. Or perhaps It wasn't "mercifully,” for I wns Just on the point of telling Jim's partner In rather plain English Just what I thought of him when our dancers swung back to Join us. "Next, Phoebe?” muttered Dick West, thickly. She nodded. In a moment f was left with Tom Mason, who was very quiet and dignified again. Presently Evvy and Sheldon came back to the table. But no Phoebe. I waited a minute. Then 1 asked anxiously: "Where's Phoebe?” "Oh, they sneaked down the back stairs and disappeared. They often do. Phoebe likes snooping around the funny little shops," replied Evvy with husky sweetness. “And Dick's been saying he had one or two favorite haunts he wanted to show her." X tried hard to make my voice calm as I replied : "Let’s follow them. I*lay detectives. ’ "Better wait here. We eouldn't flud thpru In a thousand years. Dick knows his Chinatown, underground passages and all. She's perfectly safe with West." But somehow I didn't feel thut Phoebe was safe with. Dick West. Wo waited a long half-hour and still no Phoebe. “Let's try to find her,” J pleaded, “Two wail here and two go.” “All right. I’m with you," agreed Tom Mason. “You two wait hero and we’ll slip out the back entrance and have a look see." So, leaving Evvy and Sheldon on

Just as we reached it. two arms caught me and 1 found myself dragged up against Tom's thudding h-art. I broke away finding strength In ray fury. “I trusted you—l needed you!" I heard myself gasping, as I fled out Into the street. Then I stopped and waited. “You may take me down to the front of the restaurant,” 1 said coldly, when Tom caught up to me. “No explanations. please," I said only one—you're a end and I know It now- know It for all time. We'll go in the front way and i'll start off again with Sheldon " Then I stalked on, listening neither to his protests nor to his pleas.

You remember in the last story that Puss, the Prince and the Princess were safe inside the Magic Bubble. But, oh dear me! There was the Faithful Giant to bo rescued. Aud ho was still h pine tree and had to he chauged back into his natural form. “We can't get a pine tree Into the Bubble," said Puss. “Aye, there's the rub!” answered the Gnome, unintentionally speaking the words of the great Shakespeare, "how shall we ever got him Into the Bubble?" "Let me change him Into his natural form first." said the Fairy Queen, "then he can walk across the courtyard to the drawbridge, where he can easily step off Into the Bubble, which can be lowered to the right height above the waters of the moat." “Good!" said tile Gnome. “Do your part and 1 will attend to the Bubble.” Just then the pine tree changed Into the form of the Friendly Giant, who lin mediately strode across tho courtyard. Quickly lowering the drawbridge he hastened over It. The creaking of the chains, however, woke up the Wicked King, who looked out of his window to are what was the matter. In another mo nient he rushed through the gates at the head of his men.

••Quick!” shouted the finome to the Gl.-mt. "'(Jet in.” Itut alas! the doorway was too small. In vain the Giant wriggled and squirmed: in vain Puss and the young Prince pulled upon his great arms, Ms great shoulders could not he forced through the doorway. At last, with u tremendous shove he managed to get halfway in, but no farther, for nt this point his head was against the opposite side of the Bubble. On came the Wicked King and his attendants, who at once fitted arrows to their strong bows to shoot the poor Giant. "Blow the Bubble larger I” shouted puss, a sudden Idea coming into hts head, "Put the pipe 'in the Giant’s mouth and tell him to blow like thunder!” fs'o sooner were the words out of tils mouth than the Gnome placed the pipestem between the Giant’s lips and commanded him to blow for his life! In an instant the Bubbles began to grow larger and larger, and before the arrow left a bow the doorway widened enough to let the Giant crawl lnslae. Slamming the door shut the Gnome cried out exultingly, “We are safe!” Away sailed the Magic Soap Bubble, with the Fairy Queen and her little robin perched safely on the top, and her three ladies in waiting standing close by on their own little feathered steeds. Back to the beautiful Waterfall Lake, where the Fairy Queen bid Puss good-by. back to the friendly Gnome's cave in the woods, where he said farewell to l*nss, back to Big Man's Land where the Giant lived with his kind old mother, hark to the castle where the beautiful Princess and her brother lived so happily before the wicked King had kidnaped them, and back at last to the castle of Lord Carabas, where it left Puss in the easy chair by the window from which he had started out to visit Gnoineland with the King of the Gnomes.—Copyright, Tu-ii.

Mrs. Hooper had been in the habit of carrying h*>r clothes pins in a pocketshaped apron tied around her waist and always complained that it was heavy and tired her back whenever she spent half an hour or more hanging out the clothes.

MINERS WILL HONOR AWARD Committee Will Investigate Alabama Situation. The United Mine Workers of America will abide by their contract to honor th* award of Governor Kilby In the Alabama mine strike. It was learned at International headquarters of the union here today. The Governor as sole arbiter In the strike denied the miners the right to organize and the right of collective bargaining, two of the main points sought by the employes after the operators had Instituted an open shop policy. Governor Kilby's award was still under consideration of the executive board of the union today and it will be until Thursday when the board adjourns. At that time a special committee appointed by John L. Lewis, international president of the union, will go to Alabama to Investigate the decision. The committee also will settle financial matters for the union and will attend to other business. It la not empowered, however, to call another strike in protest of the award. The committee will report back to Lewis with whom rests the power of calling the miners out again. But Lewis has always said the United Mine Workers “does not break its agreements” and It Is understood he Is not contemplating another strike ln Alabama. Purdue Man Will Address Engineers Prof. D. D.

57 Reasons for Aiding Library* 8 Book Fund Drive

Os the books on the required high school reading lists the library found itself ln the fall of 1920 totally without copies of forty-four titles. Os many of the other most popular titles, the central library had only one copy, a number almost as exasperating as no copy at all. It has been Impossible, as yet, to remedy these deficiencies because of lack of book funds. Work with high school students Is exceedingly handicapped by lack of a sufficient number of books on newspaper work and various other subjects, directly connected with the choice of a vocation. Elementary books for the young engineer or mechanic are sadly lacking. The boy* at the technical high schools have good courses in shopwork. ln automobile manufacture and operation, ln cabinet making. etc. When they come to the library for reliable, up-to-date books on subjects ln which they have become interested they are generally disappointed. It seems almost a waste of effort to inspire a student with a definite ambition along a certain lice of work, and to have this ambition nipped in the bud by lack of “follow-up” reading matter. To mention another crying need ln work with high school students, the collection of Shakespeare's plays Is so badly shot to pieces by continued wear and tear that often a student is disappointed three or four days ln succession in finding all copies of a particular play off the shelves. To do good work with three high schools the central library alone should be equipped with at least twelve or fifteen copies of each play. Summary of Special Needs—Adequate collections of historical, classical, educational and inspirational literature of recent date to round out the collection at the central library. The establishment of a well rounded technical collection, including books on the automobile Industry, civil engineeriug, mathematics. Industrial chemistry, metal Industry, machine shop work, electrical engineering, and other subjects which will link the library to the leading Industries of the city. Enough books to bring up to reasonable strength and proper proportion the collections on all popular subjects in sixteen branch libraries. Special strengthening of book collections on subjects needed by pupils and teachers ln the Indianapolis schools. Restocking the Juvenile collection with enough standard and new books to bring it up to normal and efficient strength. All these and other Imperative and important needs Involve the acquisition of 100,000 volumes to bring the library up to ordinary strength, comparing favorably with other libraries of the same Size.
