Advertising offices ( Kew \ or k, Boston, Payne. Burns 1 Smith, Inc. WE THOUGHT the question of the leadership of the Republican party was settled at the Chicago convention! BUT WHO approved the specifications for that Greentown school that is now said to be insufficiently ventilated? THE BUSINESS RECORD of no opponent can be expected to receive the unqualified approval of Lew Shank while he is running for mayor! PERHAPS the second Bernauer trial will not reveal so many instances of the inefficiency of Marion County law enforcement agents. NO ONE seems to take seriously the oft-repeated prophecy of the collapse of the street car company, whether it comes from Mr. Todd, Dr. Jameson or Ferdinand Winter. HOW LONG has it been since the Greentown schoolhouse, which is now being condemned as unsatisfactory, was held up to this community as a model of economical school construction by the same parties who are now denouncing it? ONE OF THE outstanding characteristics of the late William Watson Woollen was his great respect and consideration for the opinions and beliefs of others. He did not knowingly impose on either man or nature and he enjoyed the love of both. I , Cruelty to Dogs The filing, recently, of a search warrant on information and belie! that dogs are being cruelly handled at the Indiana Medical College laboratories should not be regarded as an attack on the institution or as the launching of an unreasonable campaign against vivisection. However repugnant vivisection is to the layman, much can be said in its favor by the medical fraternity and common sense dictates that there is a meeting place where the demands of the anti-vlvisectionists can be reconciled with the demands of science. Recently there have been many complaints in Indianapolis of the disappearance of pet dogs. These complaints have come from the parents of heartbroken children and from older persons who have suffered through the loss of dumb companions. Circumstances have repeatedly indicated that these pets have reached the college laboratories through devious routes, perhaps without the knowledge of the heads of the institutions. Reports, supported by sworn statement, charging unnecessary and indefensible cruelty to animals in the college laboratory and pens have been frequent. In the face of these conditions there has been a mistaken policy of secrecy, and a failure to pay heed to these accusations that has aroused public suspicion of the college’s practices to a point where it is necessary to air them. No" one is ready to contend that -vivisectionists cannot conduct their operations hu lanely and without cruelty. No one will seriously contend that it is not uetter that such operations be so conducted. The law recognized property rights in animals. The law also prohibits mutilation of animals and cruel treatement of them. If the Indiana Medical College is not trespassing on property rights and is not violating the laws of Indiana relative to cruelty to animals then it is time that reports to the contrary be set at rest by a public investigation that cannot possibly harm the institution. If, on the other hand, credence is to be placed in the sworn statements of reputable citizens, then it is past time for the heads of this institution to put a stop to indefensible practices under the cloak of science. Let the public have the truth relative to the dogs at the college! Are they legally obtained for a legal purpose? Are they humanely treated before and after being subjected to operations? Or is it a fact that they are procured by theft, mutilated in clinics and thrown into pens to die in misery or recuperated for further mutilation that eventually tortures them to death?

Taxing Part for All There has never been a better Illustration of how a part of the community evades taxes at the expense of another part than the fire protection cost to which the public service commission recently referred In its statement concerning the rates of the Indianapolis Water Company. It is a fact that the fifty or sixty thousand water consumers of Indianapolis have been for years and are now paying an unjust share of the cost of fire prevention in Indianapolis. For the water works system is the heart of the fire protection of this city and the payments from the city in the form of hydrant rentals do not begin to cover the cost of its maintenance. The municipality has attached an added burden to the company in the form of additional taxes and is now’ complaining because the public service commission has seen fit to increase the amount of money which the city must pay for its fire protection. The result is that there is borne home to the public the fact that there can be no taxes on utilities which the customers do not have to pay. and the additional fact that those persons who pay water rentals are being taxed for the fire prevention which those who do not pay water rentals are sharing. Fire prevention is of benefit to all the people of Indianapolis. Its cost should be taxed against all the property owners of the city and paid through adequate fire hydrant rentals. Looking Forward If our statesmen keep busy and engineers are not mistaken, it will be a long time before the people of the country freeze, even with the coal all used. The Governor of New York has issued a special message dealing with the development of hydro-electric energy, while scientists assure the public, that five dams in the SL Lawrence River are feasible and will develop each over a million oorse power, and each horse power will do the work of ten tons of coal. Naturally, a few engineering problems will develop and our national debt should be reduced before expenditures along this line are authorized, but the prediction can safely be ventured that before many generations are passed, an immense energy will be developed by the use of w’ater. In contemplating so many things hitherto done by brute force but now accomplished by electricity, the superficial onlooker is appalled at the vast possibilities as yet scarcely touched, and the opportunities for saving human energy through using that supplied by nature. The best part of it is that with the adoption of other and better methods, shorter hours, more comforts and greater enjoyment appear. What .will be the days’ program a hundred years hence? The Janitor’s Wife It is refreshing to know that the question of whether the janitor’s wife shall be permitted to help him with his work will soon be decided by ballot in the'Chicago fiat janitors’ union. On April 2 the result of the vote will be known. It is certain now that if she does help him she must pay dues of $8 a Quarter and under some conditions permission must be obtained of the board of business agents. There is no question of who is who in the Janitors’ camp and if wifey wants to help she must present her credentials paid to date and get the permission of not only hubby, but those who stand by hubby in his labor affiliations. Hifetofore, it was supposed that only the public was bound to obey the rifles and rulings of the flat janitor, but now it appears that he is bigger and .broader than was anticipated, for evidently his wife and family must also do him deference. Then he, too, renders due deference to a board of business agents, but it is not known to whom they pay fealty. The janitor is a mighty man in his little bailiwick, bullying the women of the flat, granting special favors of heat and hot water when be desires and scaring the children into Quietness and awe. It Is indeed refreshing th&t the an eye on him and kis-wifa.

FANNY OFFERS A SPANISH OMELET AT KEITH’S ’Nother Hamlet on View—Local Dancers at "Lyric — Quigg Plays Many Tunes

Here is a secret. You have to be a Spanish omelet to appreciate the bill now at Keith’s. Yells Fanny Steelman: “You have to be a Spanish omelet to get ,by on the stage nowadays.” While she is singing this Spanish song. Miss Stedman is dressed in a shawl. She throws the house in convulsions and rushes off the stage with the tip that she is going to change her shawl. Then A1 Stedman gets busy. A1 is happy as he finds a wad of gum on the piano. “Oh, free gum, this season,” he allows. Then the mad rush of fun starts out. Says Al to Fanny: "See you have been eatin’ bananas?” “How can you tell?” warbles Fanny in reply. •'Because you have skin on your face," replies Al. \ Then between a song or two of the nut variety Al and Fanny stage a turrtble mellerdramer called, “The Poisoned Candy.” Fanny pushes 41 to the footlights and whispers: “Yonjare on a cliff.” Then Al whispers: “You can't fool me. It’s a bluff.” More howls from the audience and the fun goes on as only Al and Fanny Stedman can put it over. Here is real fun and real funmakers. This couple is immense this season. Here is the stuff which brightens up any vaudeville and makes it look like a fortune in laughs. I am sure that I am not over enthusiastic in saying that every number on the current bill at Keith's is of fine entertaining quality. That appeared to be the verdict yesterday afternoon. The Three Weber girls open the show in an aero batic offering which has some comedy. The riot really started yesterday when the Ja Da Trio, composed of three men in sailor uniforms, give the people what they want —pep, speed and jazz. They held up the show yesterday. They are immense. Elsie Pllcer and Dudley Douglas pffer some smart aongs and dances in which Miss Ptleer has some stunning gowns. Thlo act has class. Howard stages ills ventriloquist offering at the headquarters of a regimental doctor during the war. He uses two dummies and he changes his voice with bewildering sreod. Deserved the applause he received. Margaret Young sings some very blue blues. I like my blues less blue, but the audience seemed to like 'em even “bluer.” The Choy Ling Hee troupe is composed of soma oriental wonder wortfers who present a number of clever tricks, Including the famous fire eating number. The Cansinos are expert Spanish dancers. Their work is of the highest order, but the dance omelet was so Spanish that it was hard to determine if they presented all the; dances which were on the program. The program announced five, but I saw them do only three. The act closed before the audience "s aware of the fact. The bill might be called a fun bill at Keith's this week. Nearly every act hands out a big laugh with the Stedman* leading and followed very close by the Ja Da Trio and Margaret Young. W. D. H.

CONCERNING “HAMLET" AND MR. FRITZ LEIBER. Coming as he does on the heels of a large dose of Shakespeare from the hands of Mr. Walter Hampden at thq Murat last week, Mr. Fritz Lelber chal lenges comparison. Last night Mr Lei her opened a three day engagement at English's with ''Hamlet.” Mr Lelber has been seen many times at English’s in support of Mr. Robert Manteil and now Mr. Leiber is heading his own company. It seems to be the aim of Mr. Lelber to make his "Hamlet” a pleasant evening In the theater, as I heard as much laughter during part of the famous grave digging scene as I hear at a Chaplin comedy. I believe that Mr. Lelber’s company puts too much stress on certain lighter scenes in the play, which halts the tremendous dramatic and tragic swing of “Hamlet.” I think that Mr. Leiber places his production too near the footlights. My seats are near the stage and I moved back to near the rear of the house to get away from this too intimate touch with Hamlet. At times al! the players were guilty of chopping their lines off and giving these tragically beautiful passages no poetry. At times the lines were not spoken as clearly as they should. In some scenes Mr. Leiber moves to a high dramatic plane, but there Is generally someone in the company around who insists in V giving a comedy twist. Louis I,eon Hall was a satisfactory Claudius and although he was suffering with a cold, he spoke Ms lines clearly. Irby Marshall was fairly adequate ns Gertrude and Miss Virginia Bronson was a much more satisfactory Ophelia than the woman who played the role with Mr. Hampden last week. John C. Hickey as Potonlus was not suited to the role find he labored In vain tc. give a dignified touch to this tplendid role. There is very little scenery to Mr. Lelber’s production of "Hamlet” and at

/CHAPTER CLXXIII. ‘‘Oh, Neal. p!eas don't call Ewy. Please don’t!" I cried. “Why not?” asked Nenl, curtly, and then, anticipating my reply, he went on hastily: "Now don’t begin thut antlEvvy stuff again. You were always down on her, though I never had a better friend. Now I'm goiug to sea If she, too, has forgotten me.” “Just a minute, dear,” I insisted. "Phoebe wouldn't act so if sbe weren't terribly hurt. She thinks you gave her up without making one effort to hold her. Are you sure she never wrote you a letter —and then waited for the answer that didn't eoine?” "Sure? How can I be any surer? I never got it —so I guess she didn’t write." "But so much camp mail went astray,” I protested. "That's right-blame it on the A. P. O. —that’s easy. But I guess if Phoebe had written, and if the letter had come back to her like they do when they aren't addressed right, know I never got it, and try again—or. something. No, she never wrote. And now, Babbs, give a fellow that number.” “Neal, won't you wait a minute? Let me ask Phoebe.” "All right—go ask your fool question." So I hurried to the bedroom. At the 'fnner door, I paused and knocked. I wish now that I hadn't. After a minute of silence, 1 knocked again. Then a voice called: "Come 1” m Phoebe was standing at the bureau elaborately engaged In taking down her hair. "Suppose I had caught you on the bed —sobbing?" I thought to myself. “You couldn't have been so self-possessed and stand-offish then!” “Phoebe dear—will you do me a great favor?” I asked sidling up to my question. “I'm lunching with Mr. West—and I can't change my plans," replied Phoebe, looking like Jim at his very stubbornest. t “X don’t feel that—l have the right to ask that," I replied with calculated tact. "I only want to have you put me right on something—where my memory's at fault. Will you?” "Well?” asked Phoebe, curtly. “You wrote to Neal explaining about the ring, didn’t yon?” I asked with elabate carelessness.

NOW ON VIEW

# W y. ’

MR. FRITZ LEIBER. Mr. Leiber Is in the second day of a three-day engagement at English's in plays of Shakespeare. His engagement opened last night with '•Hamlet," and “Julius Caesar” is the play tonight.

no time does the production as a proI ductlon compare to that of Mr. Hamp- | den. | Mr. Leiber last night had a very friend- : ly audience and the applause was more than generous. T think that Mr. Leiber will be the choice of the woman matinee fans, as be has the looks and the way which appeals to women. We who have seen his Romeo know that he has a right i to challenge serious conwttlerution in that I role. Mr. Lelber will play “Julius Caesar” tonight at English’s and “Romeo and ' Juliet” Wednesday afternoon, aud “Othello” Wednesday night.—W. D. H. -1- -I- -IDAXCINO ANI) COMEDY FEATURE THE LYRIC'S BILL. Lewis, La Varre and Davis opefi their turn at the Lyric with a very modest beginning. One of the men of the company starts to sing a song. Man No. 2 of the company comes out on the stage carrying a bird cage which contains a cat. * “What are you doing?” asks fcls partner. “Giving the canary an siring." “Where Is the canary?” “In the cat.” Exit. This trio has a number of surprise stunts which the tallest member of the trio puts over to good advantage. The feature of the bill are the Gibson Sisters and company. In which a cycle of songs and dauces nre offered, such as the old fashioned dance, the Indian dance, the ballet and winding up with the modern steps. The act is nicely mounted. Indianapolis contributes to the Mil by furnishing two of Its young and talented dancers—Martha Doris Machaells and Eielyn Kafnnlk, In a dancing novelty. They are being warmly received. The Four Novelty I’lerrots offer a gplendtfi athletic offering during which a woman supports a large apparatus while three men perform on rings. This act has merit and Is a winner. The bill Includes the Royal Five In “A Night at the Club;” Marks and Rosa and the Rt'ff Brothers The Rclff Brother* are comedy dancers and they put a laugh In every step. Their work Is quiet and refined and the brother* cau take care of themselves on any hill. The bill Is Auinded out by a Fox film farce, "The Simp.” At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -I”big ntrriNEss"" ON VIEW AT LOEWS. “Big Happiness,” a gripping film ] drama of English life, starring Dustin ; Earnum In a dual role, is being featured at the Loew’s State this week The plot Is built about a girl who marries an Englishman of wealth to save her father i from financial ruin and Imprisonment and 1* made unknowingly on her part, i the victim of her husband s uncontrolled j desire for wealth, causing him to persuade hi* brother who Is down and out j financially to take his place while he goes secretly on a business trtp.

"Did I ever say I wrote-?” countered Phoebe. “No—but of course I knew you’d not fail to write and explain.” “Did your brother ever get—such a letter? “No, but—” ‘•Hid your brother ever write to me making one protest against the way our engagement was broken?” asked Phoebe. “No, dear. But—" "Then, since neither of us heard from the other, it looks as If neither of us wrote. And, of course, if any one didn't write to any one under those circumstances, ttmt’d mean that he was glad n i\t to be held to any rash youthful promises. So now, Aune, if you and I are to remain friends, will you please drop the matter? It's annoying and humiliating to have It brought up all the time.” Phoebe made the whole of that long speech with the utmost self-possession and calmness—like a young Virginia. And I had to turn and leave her victorious at the end. I knew that I couldn’t bridge the gap between her and Neal. “Well, she didn’t write, did she?” asked Neal as I came back to him In the living-room. "I’m not so sure,” I said slowly. "The Harrison pride”—then I repeated my conversation with Phoebe as well as I could remember it. “No, she didn’t write. It was nothing but—calf-love. She's glad to be rid of me. And now that. I’m back without a Job, it'it probably just as well. Mrs. Dalton wouldn’t have stood for me—yithout a cent. Yes, It’s just as well. Now I'll call Evvy if you’ll give me the number please—wait, I remember it!” Five minutes later Neal turned from the phone lnto-"which he had been speaking in a low voice, and said: "She was glad anyway!” We’re going to a show tonight. So you can keep whatever date that was to go to theater. Evvy’s all right—” But the edge of my "visit” with Neal was off. This was a sad homecoming for my soldier—his little sweetheart was Indifferent, his job was gone. I wondered how Neal would find again his place in the scheme of things.—Copyright, 1021.

times. The brother is about to confess the deception to the girl feeling that it Is the only honorable course when he receives word that the ship his brother was on had been sunk and all the passengers had been lost. However, the husband had been delayed through illness from sailing on the lost ship and returns to find his wife In his brother's arms, which brings a dramatic climax. A clever sharp-shooting act Including several spectacular stunts in marksman, ship by tho Georgalls Trio heads the vaudeville bill. The remainder of the bill Includes an “amusing comicality” of Howard and Lewis, Martin and Courtney, peppy entertainers; Berry and Nickerson, in a blackface musical, act and an animal skit, “Selina's Circus,” with a cast of monkeys, dogs and a pony. -I- -I- -1CALL 'EM OFT AND QUIGG WILL PLAY. One of the pleasing features of "The Social Follies” show which 1$ now at the Park, is the accordeon playing of Mr. John Quigg. He starts out with a set program, but after playing a few sum- j bers he allows the members of the au- j dience to call out the numbers desired. He uses no music and has a wonderful > memory for tunes. He plays the entire number called for by members of the audience, lie holds up the show. “The Social Follies” is a well-dressed entertainment and the scenery is above the average. In the second act, first scene, there is a pleasing fashion parade and a pretty morality number which" reminds one of "Everywoman.” Fred M. Cady carries most of the comedy through the two acts. The “Bagdad" number is well done, both from a voice standpoint as well as from a scenic viewpoint. The costumes are extravagantly vacant in spots, as the gowns are built on the revue type. The color scheme has beeD well handled, which results In some pleasing stage pictures. The women principals on the whole are good looking and the chorus Is above the average. May be seen at the Park this week. -I- -I- -I----AT THE RIALTO. The current bill at the Rialto runs to music- and novelties. Collins and HIU, in a European novelty, are prominent on the bill. Knox and Inman appear in a comedy sketch called “The Collector." The Mast Kiddies are Juvenile entertainers and they appear in songs and dances. They are talented youngsters. Ro'taker and Miller contribute to the: harmony end of the bill by offering a cycle of songs. _ j Memories of the eld school days are recalled by Jules Held and company in [ a sketch called “Fun in a School Room.” j Frank Mayo in "The Hitchen Post" is the znovie feature of the blil. -I- -I- -lAT THE BROADW AY. Marksmanship ts represented on the current bill at the Broadway by the Western Wizards who present a shooting act. The dancing .part of the bill is j taken by Jack Bennett, a singing and j dancing comedian. Rudy Willing, an ! entertainer, 1* on the bill. Thomas and Rose offer a singing and Instrumental novelty. Lovers of magic i will find much to enjoy In the offering of the Great Jensen, illusionist. Fiddler and Perry offer a piano and singing act. The T.upe Brothers are clever hand balancers and gymnasts. The bill includes the regular movie comedies. -I- -I- -I----AT TTIK MOVIES. The movies on view today include: Charlie Ray in “The Old Swimmln' | IT >le," nt the Circle: Doug Fairbanks In i "The Nut.” at the Colonial; BUI Hart In I “O’Malley of the Mounted, ’• at the Alhatn- j bra; “Fatty Arbuckle In “The Dollar-a-Yejir Man," t the Isis; Wesh-y Burry In i "The County Fair,” at Mister Smith's;!

PUSS IN BOOTS ’JR.

’ By I>*vld Cory.

Now, let us put our heads together and think where we left off in the story before this, for goodness me! But now I remember. Puss had been changed into a rat with a long hairless tali by a wicked witch, and tbe Fairy Queen was searching for tne-Magic Flower to change him back once more into ; little Puss Junior. Well, after she had flown for maybe a mile <-r more her little butterfly steed settled on a crimson flower that grew in ! the crevice of a great rock. I “This must be the Magic Flower.” 'thought the Fairy Queen, so she plucked it from its stem and hurried back to Puss. "Now, turn your little ring aronnd your toe three times and a half, while I touch you with my flower," she said, and, would you believe it, in less time than I can take to tell it, Puss was himself

once more. "Not far from here in a hollow tree is a lovely pink and blue bird. But she is really a Princess for the same wicked witch who changed me Into a rat chnngeij her into this pink and blue bird." “I will go with you and rescue her,” said the Fatry Queen quickly. So she and Puss spt off at once Rnd pretty soon, in Just n little while, they came to the hollow tree. Then Puss touched the door with hts magic ring and it sprung open. There in her cage snt the poor, unhappy bird with her head under bor wing, but as soon as abe heard Puss Junior’s voice she locked up. “Be of good cheer," said little Puss Junior, apd he touched the cage and then tbe bird with his magic ring and in less than five hundred seconds she turned into a lovely Princess. And then outside came the sound of a horn, clear aud shrill on the air, and the next minute up drove a coach and four with several outriders on horseback. “Come with me," said the lovely Princess, and then saying goodby to the Fairy Queen, Puss followed her into the coach and drove away. And after awhile they came to a stately castle on a high hill. Here is our Princess, safe and well, Free from the witch's wicked spell; Never again will we let her rove Ail alone in the forest grove. Then she and Puss went up the steps that led to the castle gates, and in the next story, if the bats in the belfry tower don’t ring the bells all night long, so that I can’t write tomorrow's story, you shall hear wbnt happened after that. — Copyright, 1921.

SHANTY CAMP IN KAURI FOREST

Typical .shanty camps In the gum digging season in the kauri forests of New Zealand. Although tho diggers work separately in the hunt for gum they live In gangs in order to reduce expenses. The hours are long and the work tedious but the price of gum, which is constantly soaring, makes It well worth while.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living lu a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home 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.) “My goodness, are you doing your owu washing?” exclaimed Mrs. Campbell, appearing at the door of the Hooper laundry. “What has become of Ellen, and however do you manage i: with all the other things you do?" “I’m getting to rather like it,” laughed Mrs. Hooper, as she poured some boiling water from the kettle, held rather high in the air, through some fruit ’stains on the front of Betty's dress. “Ellen was very expensive for the value she rendered to this family. Os course, washing the way we still do in this old-fashioned manner, is rather tiresome and takes more time than it should, but I'm planning to have an electric washing machine as soon as I can possibly manage it.” “That sounds pretty expensive,” observed Mrs. Campbell, “but I suppose yon will have one before long. You always seem to get things before any one eise In the neighborhood. Will you buy it on the Installment plan?" “No, 1 don’t believe In the Installment plan of buying; I have never done it in my life,” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper. “More people get hopelessly in debt from that method than from any other one reason X know.”

| “Oh, I don't think it is so bad,” Mrs. ; Campbell retorted, sitting down on the [ stool Mrs. Hooper offered her. “I have ! two or three things that I never could t have bad If I hadn't bought them that way. go much down and so much a week i and ever so many of my friends are having the use of labor saving machines and pieces of useful furniture that they never would have owned if they had to save up all the money first.” “Oh, I do know," admitted Mrs Hooper, beginning to rinse the white clothe*, “that If the practice 1* intelligent, and if one thing is paid for entirely be fore something else is taken on, it Is perfectly ail right. But what I mean Is that the temptation to assume more obligations than it is possible to fulfill is constantly before women as soon as they begin to think of buying on the instalmen tpian," “Well, I suppose most privileges like buying on the part payment plan are all right when they are not abused," continued Mrs Campbell, “but I’m strong for buying things that I really want and can’t seem to afford any other way. Now. If I wanted an electric washing machine I'd pay something right down, get my machine and have th euse of It." “But yon get it cheaper by paying cash,” insisted Mrs. Hooper, “and it is really possible for me to save the price of It In a reasonable length of time.” ! “Oh. I've tried saving money for something I needed and then comes along something else and away it all goes," laughed Mrs. Campbell. "That couldn't possibly happen with my system of budgeting,’’ added Mrs. j Hooper, putting the clothes In the basket i In readiness to be hung out. “The i money I'm* snvlng for my washing machine stays right in tny* 'operating ex- j pense' account as a surplus and accuiftu- i lates from week to oi-ek.

Asa result of the combined efforts of the remount service and the salvage branch, unijer instructions from Maj. Gen. H. L. Rogers, quartermaster general of the Army, both the mounted men and the foot troops of Uncle Sam’s armed forces are snapping back to the polish and precision of the days before the war. The “dolled-up” buck private is coming into bla own again. At every big post he can now find a salvage repair clothing shop which will cut his uniform into "a perfect 3C,” and if he rides a horse he can draw a mount that would be a bluerlbboner at any county fair. The Secretary of War added a clincher to this today by Issuing orders which placed a ban on all nonregulation clothing. The remount service has been busy In collecting the finest types of horseflesh for cavalry mounts available throughout the country.
