Daily Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. a iMptiiui 9 offb-p* (Chicago, Detroit 6t. Louts, O. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising omces ( New Y ort -. Bogton) p aynej Burns & Smith, Inc. Caught! Discloeurea at the tearing of the petition for increased rates for the Citizens Gas Company last week were certainly sufficient to Justify the public service commission in refusing a higher schedule for gas and laying down some operating rules for observance by this “semi-philanthropic” utility that insists on maintaining its 10 per cent dividend rate. The commission discovered that the alleged “emergency" by which the company was able to show “tremendous losses" in operation was created by Manipulation of accounts in a manner that Mr. Forrest says any corporation Aay manipulate accounts if it so wishes. The commission also disclosed that the company has tremendous stocks on hand which it holds out of the local market by the very simple |H>eess of fixing a higher retailing price for it than It values it for Inprices. As Mr. Forrest admits, accounts may be Juggled to produce almost kind of a showing. The wonder is that the estimable gentlemen who Vre as directors of the gas company would permit such manipulation as the confidence of the general public in the company as an instituiJjßru There is reason for the belief that these directors have been deceived ■to the true condition of the company, for only on that theory can their of the rate-raising propaganda be reconciled with their well-known for fair play and public spirit. The commission holds in its hand the power to end this manipulation and this manipulation of the coke market whenever it desires. 81l It may refuse to allow the gas company to charge its paper “losses” to expenses and thereby show that it is in financial straits. It may direct the marketing of coke or any other product of the gas at a fixed price based on cost of production and thereby Insure !■ the people of Indianapolis fuel at reasonable costs and to the gas com■ny a reasonable return on Its actual investment. ■ For the Citizens Gas Company is, in reality, just as much of a public Rllity as any other company of its sort and there is nothing in its organizar ■on or ownership, or city contract that entitles it to any special privileges. jS Asa result of the hearing last week the Citizens Gas Company ha3 ■sen caught undervaluing its assets in order that its operating costs may swelled so as to indicate the necessity of higher rates. It has also been caught holding up the price of coke to Indianapolis during a period when fuel was scarce and the use of coke here at Hmd woultf have relieved the railroads of considerable burden in hauling [Sway coke that could have been used here, and hauling here coal that might have been diverted elsewhere. The public service commission must know now, as the public generally has felt for many months, that the troubles of the Citizens Gas Company center around its management rather than the low rate which Indianapolis pays for gas. It will require a tremendous lot of nerve on the part of the commission to raise gas rates under the "emergency" plea when it has been so well established that the “emergency” is a bit of fiction created wholly for the purpose of forcing Increased rates. For Show , Alone It is impossible for a mere man to fathom either the shallows of the depth of mind of an alleged -Countess Brunette d’Usseaux, an English [woman, or her friend’s mind, in the light of a little news item from Monte Carlo which comments on her five daily promenades, each time in a different gown—and says that for over a month she has never worn the same dress twice. A woman, if she can be so called, who spends her time at a gambling place, parading in an artificial array certainly is missing the essentials of life and has lapsed back almost into savagery and the early days of civilization. Life to the normal person is made up of purpose, achievement, realities and the good regard of mankind, but this person misses all of them, from this distant viewpoint. There is an element in human nature typified by the peacock, which In the beauty of Its plumage struts and poses. Only one step above this comes the useful birds, less beautiful but more respected. The person who. In this age, produces something for the good of humanity, be he a farmer or a bench worker, a common laborer or a banker, blesses himself as well as the world. On the other hand, the nonproducer, useless, a parasite, is a curse. To have achieved nothing In life but 6how Is to confess a dismal failure of existence. It is to acknowledge that the real things of existence are overlooked and not recognized. No kindly regard, no blessing for good work, no sincere friendships nor love can go to one whose Ideals are no higher than the clothes over a skin which is no better than the skin of any one else. Cannot Europe with all its war misery and its confusion find something better to do or some better Iplace to put its money, than on the useless back of a purposeless woman? Lafayette There is absolutely no use to get nasty with your creditor, nor to abuse your banker if you owe him, but such is generally the course of events. Does not the greatest of English poets advise against being a borrower or a lender in Hamlet* And cannot a friend be lost easier that way than any other? The opportunity of some rather severe fllngß in this connection against America arose in the French Chamber of Deputies—like our Congress, when a Senator employed a keen sarcasm characteristic of that cynical nation and said when urging that the United States was Indebted to France, “A course by America such as I have suggested would honor America infinitely and would be more Interesting for us than seeing from I time to time pilgrims come to place flowers on the tomb of Marquis de [LaFayette.” • America has often blushed for some of the political horseplay it has [witnessed in public. Jingoes come and go and nobody cares. However, Keep in the heart of every American is written the name of that gallant n-enchman and for so long as history is read, a tribute of gratitude to him be felt by the red pulse of America. Aj National gratitude Is the most wonderful of intellectual movements seldom indeed is it properly and timely given. Less often Is it repaid The pilgrimage of General Pershing to LaFayette s tomb and his dNTSv e assurance to stricken France of “LaFayette, we are come,” reconEXmI more Americans to the sacrifices of the war than any dollars ever Some old country politicians may be sordid and devoid of understanding the American mind, but all the abuse and sarcasm, all the repudiation of debt and bitterness of speech will not detract from American regard for LaFayette, Rochambeau and those who assisted Washington to gain our national independence. Correcting the Compass So little Is known of the troubles of a mariner, that Indianapolis cannot well realize the Importance of the work of the Carnegie Institution at Washington in sounding with a nonmagnetic ship to determine the variations of the compass throughout the world. Indeed, to the land locked, but little thought Is given to the variation from true north by the magnetic needle. Probably not over a handful of people in the city can tell whether or not the compass really points north, or whether, for some mysterious reason, It is a few minutes or degrees east or west. The. ocean liners have experienced so much trouble and the matter is so important that at the end of each voyage a special examiner overhauls and tests the compasses. Now a chart is to be made of the whole world to determine, from all available data, the magnetic variations on all oceans. Already it Is found that charts regarded as reliable heretofore were radically wrong, and this error, if followed by the mariner, might lead to wreck by striking some little island duly charted but given a wrong location by reason of failure to get the correct magnetic variation. Kipling’s poem says east is east and west is west —to which the Hocsier might add north is north and south is south —and might point to Meridian street as proof, but the careful surveyor will add that his compass is either to the east or the west of the true north pole. So north is perhaps north with a few minutes variation in some directions Howver, to the average resident here without a chart there is no of getting U&t, since prohibition is in force, and/ the north star, the most fixed of the planets, still Is in the northern \

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CLXXII. Only a minute after 1 had conveyed myself into the bedroom and safely out of the way of Interfering with the hopedfor “maklng-up" between Phoebe and Neal, Neal came striding In after me. “For pity's sake, Babbsle—don't desert me. I can’t make out her get-up and this—this tomfoolery. She won’t speak to me. Not a word that means anything,” he said dejectedly. “Neal, what did you give up like this for?” I asked In exasperation. “Why did you go off and leave her to her own devices? I thought you were—a tighter.” 'What can I do? She goes to the phone and calls up some fellow named West. I can't stand and listen, can I?” “Why did you let her? Why didn't you just grab her and make her listen? Oh, Neal, I hurried off and left you together so you'd make her listen.” Neal's face went brick-red. “Slake her listen," he said, sneeringly. “I couldn’t get in a word. It was all: ‘Oh. Lieutenant Hyland, how becoming your uniform is’’ And ‘Lieutenant Hyland, aren’t you Just crazy about the army?’ and ‘Lieutenant Hyland, do excuse me while I explain things to the man your sister cut off so oddly. * * * “Neal.” I demanded again, “I have to know about that—ring, If I'm going to help you." "Well, there's darn little to tell, Babbs,” said Neal, looking down and fidgeting with the buttons of his blouse. “Dad came to camp and gave It back to me. I couldn’t stand hearing him preach, so I begged him to let It go at that, and he did, though he would Insist on saying It was Mrs. Dalton who sent It back.’’ "It was," I asserted, simply. “Yeah, Mrs. Dalton. • • • Virginia always runs Phoebe. Looks like she was doing It now,” sneered Neal In tones Pd never before heard him nse. “And that's all there Is to the story?” I asked, incredulously. "You didn't even write?" “I couldn’t. But I thought she’d write. And when she didn’t I—l felt worse than ever, and after I got over the first soreness I was so darn busy looking for th: officers' camp, and then I hud to hunch myself so hard at camp for fear I’d be busted out. And I kinda forgot—first the soreness, and then Phoebe.” “Poor little kid l” I exclaimed Involuntarily. “Oh, I’m a man—l'll hear It!” said Neal grandiloquently, but gulping a bit on his words. “I mean—poor little Phoebe!” I said slowly. Neal laughed shortly. “Well, she seems to be taking care of

KEEPING MOUSE 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 tbe Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Ilooper 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.) MONDAY. “I don’t see how yon can bother having tea like this every afternoon, Mrs. Hooper, Just for yourselvos ” Mrs Campbell, who lived across the street, had come in to make a call, and Helen was passing her a cup of hot tea ber mother had just poured. “I make it when I have company of course, but it seems like a lot of extra work Just for oneself and the children,” she continued, as she sipped her tea. “We like It very much when we have a friend come In as you have this afternoon, Mrs. Campbell.” said Mrs. Hooper, smiling, “but when we are Just by ourselves It is very pleasant also. It is really the only time I have to visit with Helen and Roger; we all seem to have so many things to do during the day and In the evening they have their lessons, and Henry likes to rood the paper to me and to talk, so T don't have much rbanre to listen to them.” “Not that I don't have my tea e-ery afternoon,” continued Mrs. Campbell, helping herself to another cookie that Roger passed her from the tea tf:ble u “but I usually go out Into the kitehen and make myself a eup and drink It standing up at tho sink. It seems such a waste of time to sit down, and I haven't much to say to the children that I Just can’t tell them while I’m walking around doing my work.” Mrs. Hooper smiled again as she basted th” sleeve of Helen's new organdy dregs which she had cut out after luncheon. "Well, I am usually mending or sewing at this hour anyhow,” she observed, “and we ail enjoy this"half hour around the fireplace or out on the porch In the summer, and It gives me a chance to meet the children’s friends that I could not manage any other time very well. Roger brought that nice Compton boy In yesterday. They have moved here from the city.” “I suppose we will have to call on them soon,” said Mrs. Campbell, handing her cup to Helen, “though I must say I don't like those city women filling up our nice little town. They say Mrs. Compton Just came here to Save living expenses.” “Well, I don’t see how women manage so well as they do in the city," Mrs. Hooper went on as she fitted the sleeves she had basted into place. “The Comptons have three lovely children and they are certainly better off here than ts they wore living in the crowded city.” “It Is hard enough to make ends meet anywhere these days,” sighed Mrs. Campbell, rising to go. “I’d be greatly obliged Mrs. Hooper if yon would give me

herself all right. Not eating her heart out, or missing any old friends, or anything.” “You’ve never been a woman. And nothing I can say will tell you how It hurts—how It must have hurt Phoebe," I corrected myself hastily, “to be treated Indifferently. Why didn’t you write and protest against the return of mother's ring? Why did you Just take It and let her sit and wait and wait to hear from you?” “H’m ! That’s all very fine sounding,” grunted Neal; “but how d’yon know she —sat and waited? Looks like it—doesn't It?” “Oh, Neal, Neal-boy, I told you you couldn't understaand! Bnt women are educated to believe that men tire of them easily. And right unde.r Phoebe's eyes, Virginia had gone through—goodness knows what unhappiness. .“Do yon mean to tell me that’s why sffe calls me Lieutenant Hyland and telephones another chap right under my nose?" demanded Neal. “That's just what I mean!” “ Well, the little mischief I “T'll show her!" Neal took a determined, triumphant stride or two in the direction of the door Just as Phoebe came hurtling in from the living room. And without a word, the boy caught her In his arms and strained her slim little form close against him, burying his face In her massed up curls before be put one hand under her chin and lifted her heart-shaped face for hi kiss. In the second before I turned away, it seemed as If Phoebe were relaxing, giving herself to his arms with the Joy of coming home to her real place. the next second, I heard a resounding smack, and a little wild cat of a girl whirled over to my side. I turned back again. Neal stood with, blazing eyes and face white except for the crimson stain of Phoebe's hand on cheek and ear. He was very quiet, a rueful half smile on his Ups. But Phoebe breached in audible gasps. “Would you mind going out and giving me-a chance to dress. Anne?" sh 4 demanded when she could find her breath. “I've a luncheon engagement with a—gentleman.” Neal turned and strode from the room. “My dear Anne, privacy is so little to k ” So I followed Neal to the other room. With an air of putting behind him everything that had occurred so far this morning, Neal casually inquired: "Anne, do you happen to remember, Evelyn Mason's phone number? —Copyright, 1921.

"Bring me my recipe box from the kitchen shelf Helen, please,” said Mrs. Hooper, ns Helen carried the tea things u way. “Well, you ara the queerest one, Mrs. Hooper, with all your little boxes,” laughed Mrs. Campbell. “Imagine going to all that bother fixing those thing* up that way. Why don't you write them down in an old copy book; that's the way I do.’’ “But see how quickly I find what I want,” said Mrs. Hooper, defending her system. ' and it Is just as easy to' write a recipe on h card and slip It Into its proper place in a box like this as to write it In a book, don't yon think so? Here iu a second is the recipe for steamed fruit brown bread. I’ll write it ou 011a of these cards for you.” "I believe [’ll use this to start one of those boxes of my own," reflected Mrs. Campbell, ns she read the recipe over. “I’ll buy a bunch of those little cards tomorrow and get an pmpty box at the department store. I believe It is a good Idea.” The recipe for the fruit brown bread was one of Mrs. Hooper’s favorites, and was' ns follows: Two cupfuls of sour milk, one teaspoonful of baking soda, and when it foams add three-quarters of a cupful of dark molasses. Mix together one cupful each of graham and rye meal, one teaspoonful of salt, and two cupful* of cornmcal and combine,the liquid with the dry Ingredients. Beat the batter well, add one cupful of mixed chopped raisins and dates and divide into three one-pound baking powder cans. Steam steadily for an hour and a half. The menu for Tuesday Is: BREAKFAST.

HUSH! DOUG WEARS HIS B. V. DJS IN ‘THE NUT’ Murray Wears a Necklace ’Round Her Ankle—Barry Catch s a Greased Pig—Hart Fights

Say, folks, you ara goin’ to have £ dandy good time at the movieß this week'. There are some rip snortin’ good movies on view. • You will see Doug Fairbanks in hia B. V. D.s and with his garters on at the Colonial In “The Nut.” Mae Murray wears a pearl necklace ’round her right ankle in “The Gilded Lily,” at the Ohio. William Shakespeare Hart—that’s our old friend Bill—ls a northwestern mounted police In “O'Malley of the Mounted," at the Alhambra. Wesley Barry, bless his freckles, catches a greased pig in “The County Fair,” at Mister Smith's. Out fat friend, Fatty Arbuckle, hag lots of fun in a dress suit and yacht uniform at the Isis in “The Dollar-a-Year Man.” Charlie Ray recalls memories of youth in “The Ole Swimmln’ Hole,” at the Circle. Harry Carey appears in an outdoor drama, “West Is West,” at the Regent. Take it from us, the movies are offering the real goods this week. -I- -I- -I--XUTB? BUSHELS OF ’EM IN FAIRBANKS’ “THE NUT.” Doug Fairbanks In “The Nut” is a regular nut factory. Ho has obtained a corking good yarn, allowed his brains to work and the result is a high-class comedy which does not rely upon Doug's athletic ability to put It over. Fairbanks is first introduced in the last few seconds of hia morning nap. He stretches himself, pulls a lever which dnmps him out of bed. He touches a but.ton aud Is carried on a moving platform to his bath. The platform dumps him into the bath where automatic brushes do the cleaning act. Automatic towels rub him dry and other automatic equipment puts on his B. V. D.’s, his socks and gnrters, his suit and even a hardkerchlef In his pocket. So dressed he goes out into the sunlight of Greenwich Village to court his girl, Estrell Wynn, who thinks that If all rich homes should open its doors for a brief hour to some poor kid who hasn't a chance in the w-orid the child would get a chance. To win her, Doug lias to open the homes of the rich. To accomplish this, Fairbanks pulls off some of the most original comedy I have seen on the screen. When he thinks he has succeeded In getting a bunch of rich men to bear Mis Wynn's open door policy, he finds through a clever frsmeup that the rich, guys are among the missing. He must hare some rich looking guys. Hut whereas he going to get them so hi* lady love can talk of her pet theory. Doug attempts to steal some wax figures from a show and as he carts them to h!s flat one of the wax figures falls off in the middle of the street. The fig ure happens to be a traffic copper and of course the wax figure causes traffic to halt. It's a great Idea and good for an awful big laugh. Probably the biggest laugh staged In •"l'he Nut” Is when Doug climbs through the hot air pipe* of a house and rescues his lady love from a gambling bouse. Clever photography shows Doug climbing through the hot air pipe*. It Is a screaming Idea put over In great style. As usual Fairbanks has surrounded himself with a splendid company. Marguerite Delnmotte Is the girl In the case. She Is charming Fairbanks hns turned out anew- sort of a comedy for him. It Is Immense. Don’t miss "The Nut.” which is being shown at the Colonial all this week.— W. D. IT. -I- -I- -!- MAE MIRRAY MAKES A BEAUTIFUL I.ILY. Ur to, this hour I never have been a M.ie Murray fan. In the past I always thought she was a much over praised maiden. After seeing her In "The Gilded Lily” I am ready to admit that I hme surrendered and have fallen Into the ranks of the Murray fans. There are several reasons for this. First, the story shows that n smalltown guy Is only human, and is not so much In love with that Home Sweet Home stuff as the story books let on. This small town sport likes the gay lights as well as his city brother. In the second place. Miss Murray hss tho role of a gay cabaret dancer who Is o fthe bright lights and the fluff because It make* her money. She !• not a bad dances In an Eva Tanguay costumelcss costume for those who conceal their liquor In booze canes. Miss Murray has | put a heart and a soul In the painted j Illy. The Illy gives tip the lights when a small town dressed suit person arrive*, i She rube off the paint, takes a cute little | apartment and Is ready to settle down. Not so with the small town person: He ■ has bad enough of the Alb-e-slt by-the-■flre stuff In Ills strict home. Ho wants the ! Hghts. That causes Mae to put on her glad ragß and paint agnln. Shs then realties what a poor simp her smalltown lover is and she is ready to become the wife of a rich club man wbo Is the veal sort and who has a sweet-faced mother at his country borne. “The Glided Lily” is a beautiful picture, and It Is certainly dressed up like a horse on circus day. And Miss Murray does some real acting, for a change. This woman Is learning to act. She wears fine clothes better than any woman on the screen today. Again I say It Is a beautiful picture. May be aepn at the Ohio today and the remainder of the week. W. D. H. -|- -|. -|. HERE IS nTTX HART AS THE FANS LIKE HIM. When a William S Hart picture is on view in the city. I generally receive quite a few letters asking me If Hart is at hi* best. T take It thnt the question means. Does Hart hove a typical Hart role? T will answer the question for those who will probably write this department concerning his latest picture, "O’MaUey of the Mounted.” Yes, Hart Is Hart In (his movie He has one of his most effective screen fights—a bare fist affair. The director hns altowed Hart and Red Jaeger to stage this fight right before the eye of Ihe camera so tho fight 1s really a lengthy “closeup.” It seemed to me that this Is the longest fist fight I have ever seen staged before the earners. It looks like the real goods. That news will bring Joy to the Hart fans. The story eoneernu O’Malley, a member of the Canadian mounted police. O'Malley Is sent to get the man who murdered La Grange. Bud Lanier, who had a pretty sister by the name of Rose, was the man who had murdered La Grange. Bud and his sister find refugs In the mountains with the Hill gang, a bad gang of bandits. O'Malley succeeds In becoming a member of the gang by robbing in broad daylight a western bank. This stunt makes him a favorite with the rhief of the gang. Red .Tneger, a rough member of the gang, insists that he marry Rose, who does not love him. It is then that O'Malley has his big fist fight. The ending of course Is Just as one would expect in n Hart movie. O’Malley refuses to arrest Bud and O’Malley, after reporting the truth to the head boss of the mounted, resigns to go back to meet Rose. The picture is crowded full of the Hart heart throbs aud has beautiful photography. It will bring Joy to the heart of the regular Hart fan. At the Alhambra the first half of the week. W. D. H. -I- -!• -IF kecki.es catches no IN “THE COUNTY FAIR.” Wesley Barry, the freckled-faced kid, is not the whole works in “The County Fair,” but he does brighten up the proceedings In several semes of this good, old-fasbiond play of the stage which has now been made into a movie. Neil BurgeSs wrote “The County Fair” some time ago, and it was for a while

CHARLIE RAY AS BAREFOOTED EZRA

\ - r* J ' ' i ' ' •" /

Charlie Ray has done a very bold thing In his latest movie, “The Ole Swimmln’ Hole,” which was first one of James Whitcomb Riley's beet poems and Is now a silver screen poem. Ray docs not use subtitles and there Is no plot to this movie. That Is a radical thing to do bnt Ray has put it over in splendid shape. That was the Impression of those who saw the picture yesterday at the Circle. Just as the beloved poet

as popular as “Way Down East” and “Tha Old Homestead.” Maurice Tourneur saw Its possibilities and has made a pleasing type story of it for the movie screen. The story centers around Sally, an orphan child who has been raised by Aunt Abigail, a village old maid who has been courtod for ten years by a man who Is too timid to pop the question. Solon Hammerhead has a mortgage on Aunt Abigail's form and the old fraud would have secured the farm If “Old Molasses,” a fast-ateppln' horse, had not won a race at the county fair. Helen Jerome Eddy, a pleasing little body, Is Sally, and she made the part as pretty as a picture. Edith Chapman Is Aunt Abigail. Wesley Barry gets some laughs during a church service in # eonntry church. He 1s very amusing when trying to catch the grtwsed pig at the fair. “Tha County Fair" Ir one of those quiet, raflned and clean pictures which gives one new faith In the movie screen.

You can take yourself and the whole family to see this picture and you will not be shocked by seeing any sex-starved women In this movie. Every school boy and girl in Indianapolis should go to the Circle this week to see "The Ole Swimmln’ Hole.” This movie is a poem classic put into action.

There is every indication that Arbuckle will be able to do this again with “The Dollar-a-Year Man,” which opened last Wednesday and drew big crowds yesterday, In spite of the bad weather.
