Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices (Xew York, Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. ANYHOW, Mayor Jewett certainly writes a beautiful proclamation! CUMMINS says rail expenses must come down and no one realizes it any better than the railroad managers. IT IS a remarkable day when one of Indianapolis’ poor utilities is not pleading an "emergency,” the only remedy for which is Increased rates! WHATS the matter with accepting Mr. Robison's suggestion for a clean primary? Or doesn’t the News-Jewett combination care for that kind? AND NOW a suit to recover SIOO,OOO spent in the Wood campaign throws more light on that “spontaneous demand” that was "not a manufactured sentiment’’ MR. FORREST, of the gas company, takes the attitude that he does aot wish to move the coke he says must be moved if it is necessary to get it to the consumer at a lowered price! Mr. Howe's Task The Times has considerable sympathy for Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, In his manifest efforts to educate the voters to a proper conception of the ability of a college professor to fill an elective office. For several years the Times, and every other decent paper, strove to offset the propaganda of the Republican party against President Wilson because he was a former college professor. The efforts were, in the main, unsuccessful because the Republican organization of which Mr. Howe is a part, went to such great lengths to Impress the voters with the fallacy that a college professor could not possibly be a good executive that it fairly well established the point. However, we did not agTee with the Republican theory as to President Wilson and we do not now agree with any attempted application of it to Mr. Howe. It is not the former profession of Mr. Howe that disqualifies him for mayor of Indianapolis, but his present professions. Mr. Howe is, as we have frequently said, an estimable gentleman with a personal record as clean as could be desired. In the mayor’s office he would doubtless be as satisfactory as any one who could be selected weie it not for one thing—the influence of those who are seeking to make hiio mayor. We cannot believe that any man whose campaign for nomination Is entrusted to such men as Claris Adams, the weak-kneed, flowery-talking exprosecutor who made the State of Indiana a joke in the Criminal Courtroom for two years, can ever show any strength In any office to which he might be elevated. We do not want the same mayor that Is wanted by Rufe Page, the negro gambler who operated a gambling place In Indianapolis with the knowledge and apparently the consent of the authorities. We do not want a mayor who wears the collar of a newspaper, heeds the advice of the present administration and is already measuring "his intended administration by the same micrometer that Mayor Jewett uses in measuring his accomplishments of the last three years. It is exceedingly unfortunate that a man of Mr. Howe's character should seek a public office through the agencies which he is now using to obtain the Republican nomination for mayor. Were he independent of the influences that have given us three years of governmental failure it would be possible for more people Cos reconcile support of him with their consciences. Mr. Howe assured the group of city employes, appointees and their relatives who gathered to hear him at the Marion Club that "this crowd can do what it pleases?” He also told them that if elected mayor ae would not need a larger hat. None will dispute the latter assertion.

The New Commissioners The appointment of George M. Barnard and Maurice Douglass to the public service commission means that a lot of public utilities of Indiana that have succeeded in educating the board members that were to their point of view will have a lot more educational work to do before they can rest assured that the commission members "understand us.” It also means that the commission has begun to get out from under the complete dominance of an Indianapolis newspaper and is an indication that its affairs will not, in the McCray administration, be conducted by gentlemen who either are or have been attached to the pay roll of one newspaper. Perhaps, In the near future, the public service commission will be entirely free of this influence that was more often used than any other during the preceding two administrations. Retiring members of the commission, and at least one other who Is expected to retire soon, have found the task of harmonizing the master's voice with the apparent demands of the Job a rather difficult task. Apparently the positions were no more satisfactory to them than was their incumbency to the public. The two new commissioners will start without having the handicap of preconceived ideas to work out, nor the disadvantage of entangling alliances. Perhaps the reorganized commission will be able to conduct its affairs as to avoid another effort to abolish It in the next Legislature. On a New Level The settlement of the threatened packing house employes’ strike with the recognition of the eight-hour day and the reduction of wages by approximately 15 per cent doubtless will tend to stabilize industrial conditions that have been in a chaotic state for many months. There is a great deal of satisfaction to be obtained from the peaceful settlement of this industrial dispute. The workingmen are particularly to be congratulated on yielding to the inevitable reduction in the wage scale, before, and therefore not after, a long struggle by which their losses would have overshadowed the wage cut. It is inevitable that there be a readjustment in wages, Just as it is inevitable that the cost of living be reduced. There can be no reduction in the cost of living without a reduction in the high wages that do so much toward maintaining the high cost of living. On the other hand, none can expect a reduction of wages without a corresponding reduction in the cost of living. The problem is how to reach a lower level without unduly squeezing either labor or capital. The packing house employes have taken their losses Just as the repreientatives of capital have taken and are going to take their losses. The sooner the example is followed by workingmen In other lines and merchants and manufacturers in other lines, the better it will be for ill concerned. Look Down , Also! A Chicago court recently decided that as a policeman is not liable in damages for acts done within his duties, one who Is stepped on by his horse has no legal redress. Probably a man who is run over by a police automobile or accidently hit by a police bullet intended for another Is equally without remedy at law. The duty to the public makes the acts of the officer at law paramount to the rights of the individual. So, if a parade is passing It is necessary to observe the officers, watch the feet of their horses and avoid them. One eye must be kept on the' ground and the other may be used to observe the parade. In Chicago where thugs and pickpockets abound it would be a blessing if nature had provided a third eye, in the back of the head, to furnish a lookout there. It is needless to say every one who ever was in a city knows the danger of going to sleep on the street, literally and figuratively, but the old admonition to look up and look out must be amended. The necessity to look down is legally declared, and this too, without reference to the style of ladies’ wearing apparel which once required considerable more material.

FRIDA'S. “Please, mother don't forget to bring down that old linen you promised me,” said Helen as she started for school. “We want to begin our box of bandages for the crippjed children's home this afternoon when the girls come.” Helen’s six little friends who met with her on Friday afternoons and worked out their small charitable problems by contributing the work of their busy little fingers to the needs of a home for crippled children In the city had decided to get their quota of bandages finished before they started hemming handkerchiefs and napkins and making othrr small : articles that went to fill their Christmas j box every year. So, Mrs. Hooper I searched through her store of old linen | when she went upstairs and brought j down several old sheets and pollow cases and a soft white linen cloth that could be itorn into strips and rolled by the inj dustrlous little group as they sat around I the big table In the living room.

Baby Betty seemed not to have recovered from the excitement and loss of sleep on Wednesday night, when tile Brown's home next door burned to the ground, so Mrs. Hooper left her sleeping on the big couch in the living room Instead of taking her for her weekly visit to her grandmother while she was at the club. She couldn't get out of her mind the terrible predicament of the Brown family because they had no Insurance to tide them over the distressing period of starting life anew with no money and no home. She wondered If there were any of the members of the Woman's Club who might be living thus unprotected against loss by fire. She resolved to speak to the chairman of the program committee and see if It wonld not be possible to have some wellinformed man or woman speak to them on the subject of lnsuranaco—-both life and fire insurance—and to explain how it must of necessity take the place of a savings account where salaries were too 6mall to permit of ae.ttlug aside each '

In the case of fire insurance the premium had to be taken from that portion of the budget devoted to shelter, and where people were paying rent there seemed no margin whatever for even the smallest kind of premium.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

Now as soon as the layer cake and the peppermint stick and the chocolatecoated caramel mouse 1 tolil you about in the last story appeared on the little white napkin a big giantess sat down und commenced to eat. Aud pretty soon the rake and randy were all gone, and if the little chocolate mouse hadn’t run away he would have I been eaten up, too. tail and all. j And then Puss and the parrot went on their way, and by and by, after a while, they r.inie to a mossy cave where grew a wonderful white flower. And as soon as Puss and the parrot opened the little cave door the flower sang this song: “Do not touch my petals white Nor pluck me from my stalk. Or you will rob me of my life And oud my flower talk.” “I won’t harm you,” answered little Puss Junior. “But, tell me. what do you do here all day In your mossy cave?” “I am the Queen of the Flowers,” sho replied, “and all the butterflies are my winged messengers. I send them from flower to flower to bring me news n* my kingdom.” And then she opened her beautiful petals wider and sang again: “Butterflies, hasten upon your wings.

flower queen, “Red Rose is very Tain, and instead of giving her perfume to the wind she spends much of her time gazing at herself in her mirror.” And then the troop of butterflies flew away and Puss and the parrot said goodby to the Flower Queen and hastened on their journey, and by aud by a little girl stood weeping bitterly. And tlie reason she was crying ‘was because her parrot had flown away. And when Puss Junior’s little feathered friend heard this, she said: “Let me stay with this little girl.” So Tuss went on by himself until he came to a pond where a mother duck was scolding her brood of young ones because they wouldn’t go in swimming with her. And. oh, dear me, she would swim for a little while and then she would come up on the bank and try to coax them Into the water. But they were afraid aud wouldn’t leave the land. But as soon as Puss drew near he began to laugh, for the young ones were not little ducks at all—they were chickens; only, of course, the poor duck mother didn’t know that, for nobody had told her, you see. “Madam Duck, you have a brood of chickens,” said Puss. And when Mrs. Madam Duck heard what Puss said she began to cry, for she was dreadfully disappointed. And in the next story you shall hear what Puss did after that.— Copyright, 1921.

These winds are not confined to the spring season, nor to western Texas, though they are perhaps best known In Texas and most pronounced during March. They may be accompanied by rains, sleet or snow, or by dust. W O ELD’S FIRST REPUBLIC. Q. Which was the first country that was a republic? D. U. N. A.

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

CHAPTER CLXX. “Neal!” I cried, "Neal!” As I rushed across the room I saw Phoebe out of the tail of my eye. She was standing like a little statuette, still and Impassive—but the jade necklace shook in her hand and swayed in and out against her slim body. “Hurry, Anne—hurry!” she cried suddenly in a throaty whisper. “He can’t come in here. Hurry. Aud close the door so I can dress.” , As I turned In the doorway she was still standing like a stiff, carved figure, but the blur of the green necklace was gone. Afterward I realized that it lay huddled on the floor at her feet. But then I flew to Neal. And in another moment I was in his arms. •'Well, Babbsle,” he cried at last, holding me off at arm's length and studying me with quiet, steady eyes from which the old boyish mischief and bravado seemed wiped out. "Neal—you're gorgeous!” I cried. "And you got your commission. And kept it a secret. Uh, Lieutenant Hyland—you're splendid!” ' Yeah, I got my commission, Babbsle. Much good it does me. I'm one of those after-the armistice near-soldiers.” “You're whole!” I said fervently. “And here! And I'm happy, happy to have you—untouched.” “Untouched !” echoed Neal with a world of scorn in h's voice. "Whole . Well, the boys who went over aud shoved ’em back across the Rhine are a darn sight more 'whole’ than I am with what's eating me. I was out of luck, all right, Babbsle, when I didn't kick into the business in time.” I pulled down Neal’s face to my lips and rumpled his red curls, then I punched up the pillows, pulled him down on the couch, struck a cigarette between bis'lips and lighted it all before I sank down facing him on the couch. “There,” I said. “Now, Lieutenant Hyland, I salute you." "It's a great salute, Babbs, and you seem like performing it about as well as the average shave tail lieutenant,” sab. N al, rubbing his forehead quite like his old self “How's every little thing? How's Jim and—everybody ?” “Every one'* all right,’’ I Jerked out, wondering how I was going to break it to Neal that l’hoehe was in the other room. “But it's you who have all the news to tell.

He was Father Andrew's boy, and I believed in Neal completely now. The unstable element in the situation was Phoebe. “Are you still In the army?” I asked, as If that were what mattered. “Nox>e —got my discharge a week ago," replied Neal. "But you’re still in uniform and you haven’t any red stripe."

HOROSCOPE “The stars incline, bnt do not compel !**

SATURDAY, MARCII 28. This Is Interpreted as a doubtful day. Astrologers read that while Uranus, Mercury and Jupiter are In benefic aspect Yenus and Neptune are adverse. Men and women should find the day fairly fortunate for business conferences, or for the signing of contracts. There Is a promising sign for men whe write love letters, especially If they happen to be teachers, lawyers or professors. This is not an auspicious wedding day, since it makes for an awakening from blind Infatuation. Persons whose birthdate it Is have the augury of a happy and prosperous year. Business should succeed and ambition should be obtained. Children born on this day should prosper all through life. These subjects of Aries usually are fond of travel. They should be wary In their love affairs.— Copyright, 1921. WHY TANKS ARE SO-CALLED. Q. How did "tanks” happen to b* called that? A. H. C. A.
