REFERS TO NEW LAW. The following article relative to hydro power In tlndiann appears In the Bulletin : “The Indiana Senate passed an act which was concurred In by the House and signed by tte Governor, which permits public utilities, subject to approval by the public service commission, to condemn land for the construction of transmission lines, location of dams, head-races, tail-races and overflowage rights. The effect of this act will be to permit public untility companies to develop their properties at the least possible cost and in the best engineering manner which will ultimately be reflected in the lowest possible rate obtainable for public utility service “The people who own the land to be .condemned are protected because the land is not subject to condemnation until the Indiana public service commission has passed upon the necessity for the acquisition of this land, and further, the owner will bo fully compensated for his land, subject to the Judgment of a board of special land appraisers.” $4,000,000 Needed for Policing Boston BOSTON, March 24.—More than $4,000,000 will be needed to run the police department of the city of Boston ft>r the current fiscal year, according to a formal statement issued today by James H. Devlin, commissioner of police.

Now Is a Good Time to Buy a Home Real estate prices are more stable than those of any other commodity. Minor price fluctuations, temporary variations in market prices and values, affect real estate not at all. Real estate is the one permanent investment — it is the basis of all wealth. Extraordinary readjustments, like the great price increases from 1914 to 1920, are reflected very slowly in the price of real estate. Building costs, clothing and food prices, transportation charges doubled between 1914 and 1920. Yet real estate prices went up last—and only a fraction as high. Real estate prices have proved stable in the greatest price fluctuations in history. Investments in real ©estate have been secure, however critical the period may have been for other investments. The Law of Supply and Demand—the housing shortage—is a powerful stabilizing influence on real estate prices. It will take years of redoubled building activity to correct the acute shortage of houses. Demand stabilizes prices. Now is a good time to buy a home. Good real estate is worth what it costs. An investment in a home is protected against depreciation due to a falling market by the natural and fundamental stability of real estate prices and values, and by the Law of SupThis is the symbol of the Realtor. olv and Demand.

HAMPDEN’S PETRUCHIO IS GENTLE And Refined in Taming Katherine

Mr. Walter Hampden’s Petruchio is different from that of Mr. E. H. Sotheru and other distinguished men who have attempted the role. Mr. Hampden’s tamer is at ail times a gentleman, although he carries a whip In his hand while taming the fair Katherine. The whip in Mr. Hampden’s hand Is only a symbol. If his voice becomes loud at times, and that is seldom. It again becomes that of a correct gentleman. He seems to give the impression to Katherine that she will obey him because of his great love for her. All display of forces springs from love, not from the brute. Mr. Hampden's tamer Is very much of a gentleman. His Petruchio loves Kattherlne and Katherine, like all good women, loves to be loved. To use a slang expression, there will be no lovin’ as long as Katherine acts like a spoiled baby. It seems to be the aim of Mr. Hampden to make “The Taming of the Shrew” enjoyable entertainment and that he does, Mr. Hampden probably will never cause Mr. Sothern any worry concerning the loss of the acting honors in this role. Sir. Sothern takes this wife taming business rather seriously. Mr. Hampden does not. Petrgchio In the hands of Mr. Hampden Is a gentle., well behaved tamer. He does not strut like Mr. Sothern does. Mr. Hampden permits his Petruchio to become a brawler In a certain sense when the story demands it and he appears to bo willing to allow the character to become more gentle at the first opportunity. We do not say that Mr. Hampden’s work In this play Is not Interesting. It Is enjoyable, but the writer cannot forget the Petruchio of Mr. Sothern. Mary Hall last night again demonstrated her worth as an actress In the Katherine role. Her Katherine is not a fighter, she is more like a rebellious spirit. She Is a woman who Is capable of loving a gentleman. Iler work fits into Mr. Hampden's scheme. Her work Is carefully and well done. The remainder of the east played In a comedy vein the many scenes. The settings were adequate and pretty. All In all. it makes an enjoyable evening at the theater. Tonight at the Murat, Mr. Hampden and his company will be seen in “Macbeth.” -i. -|. -|- -xoßonrs dire" NOW AT THE ALHAMBRA. Billie Rhodes In a romantic movie, "Nobody’s Girl,” is the screen offering today and for tho remainder of the week at the Alhambra. In “Nobody's Girl” she is cast as a waif who is washed to the shores of a lonely Island, the solo survivor of a wrecked steamer. The island is inhabited by a gang of beach combers and smugglers. The child, given into the care of the wife of one of the band, is reared to young womanhood without her identity becoming known. In time her charms attract the attention of the leader. Her only protector Is killed in an encounter with this ruffian and she is thrown upon the mercy of the criminals who have reared her. After a series of adventures she puts off to sea in a small boat in hopes of being rescued, and in the nick of time she is picked up by an aviator. In the romance that follows Instead of remaining “Nobody's Girl.” she becomes “somebody's sweetheart” in the most approved fashion. -|- -I--ARBI'CKLE IS FINNY IN HIS LATEST COMEDY. “Tho Doilar-A-Year Man,” ty) Arbuckle's latest comedy, now it the Isis, is one of the best stories the comedian has had for some time. It presents Mr. Arbuekle as one Franklin Pinney, a wealthy laundry owner, who chances to be the only plebian mem-

her of a blue-blooded yachting club. The club Is about to entertain a visiting prince and the memlasrs, fearful lest Pinney display undue familiarity toward the royal guest, take advantage of his weakness for detecting plots and fake a kidnaping story so that he will follow the scent and be absent when the prince arrives. It so happens that Tipton Blair, a member of tho club, who entertains Socialistic views, actually instigates a real plot to make away with the prince for the purpose of turning him over to a band of Anarchists. Pinney gels wind of Blair’s designs and proceeds to Sherlock a bit on his own hook, with the result that he sue-

Ah! Epsom Salt like Lemonade Sold in Handy Packages called “Epsonade Salts."

To get all the splendid physic-action of a dose of epsom salts without the awful taste and nausea ask for “Epsonade baits” which is real epsom salts combined with fruit derivatives, giving it the taste of sparkling lemonade. Try it when bilious, headachy or constipated. Costs but a few cents. Warning! Don’t Just ask for “tasteless epsom salts” or you may get a soda imitation. Always ask for “Epsonade Salts” and look for the name, American Epsom Association.—Advertisement.
