A DETROIT JUDGE advocates sixty days’ notice of intention to marry, by application and also by publication. Is there a woman who could not change her mind in that time? THE LOUISIANA negro who fell asleep during the argument of his lawyer while on trial for murder was either gassed or doubted the efficacy of the argument. Surely he was Interested. r . THE WORST CASE of insult added to injury recently comes from Chicago, where dwellers in houseboats —for want of better homes —were ordered to move at once —and take their boat with them. Why Not Sell the Coke? In its latest brief, filed with the public service commission in behalf of Its efforts to raise the price of gas in Indianapolis to 90 cents, the Citizens Gas Company continues to argue that inability to dispose of a vast stock of coke creates the emergency under which it seeks to obtain highei rates. This plea would be much more effective if the gas company woulv show what, if any, efforts it has made to sell coke. From Us officers and from other sources the public learns that its ar rangements for selling coke consists of a contract with a foreign companj by which it pays the foreign company an unreasonably high commission for disposing of its coke, and under the terms of which it is practically precluded from selling coke to the people of Indianapolis who wish it, except at a price greatly in excess of what coke is worth and for which other coke may be obtained. The record does not show that the gas company is now or every has been making any effort to sell its coke. It does not show that the gas company desires to sell its coke. On the other hand, it appears from the testimony of Mr. Forrest, who will not be unanimously belleted, that the gas company desires nothing more than to be undisturbed in the present arrangement by which it is not selling its coke. The public service commlssoin has Just as much Jurisdiction over the coke product as over the gas product of this company. It can, if it deems such action advisable, order the Citizens Gas Company to adopt other means of disposing of its coke than those under which the Cincinnati company is sharing the profits with little or no effort. And if commission has any regard for the citizens of Indianapolis whose interests it is presumed to protect, it will not allow the company to increase its rates until such time as the company has demonstrated that the “emergency” it seeks to establish is not an "emergency” of its own creation. When that is done there will be no necessity for increasing rates at all. Marking the Hun's Ruthlessness f The authorities of Pans are to erect 702 memorial stones about the city, each one to mark the place where a German shell fell, shot from over sixty miles. Over two hundred fifty men, women and children were killed and more than six hundred seventy .were wounded under this inhuman bombardment by the Huns. These places tell the high tide in the war; the ruthlessness of the Germans in making war on women and children, and now that they are marked, generations following may note the places of devastation. Many will tell tales to a later generation of how, out of the clear sky, a great bomb dropped; how a church full of worshipers was struck and —how every quarter of an hour there came from some unknown place one of those death dealing missies. On hearing of this at first some denied it, in America, and said it was impossible, but could not explain the situation, until an artillery officer of the United States expressed the conviction that It was possible to do just as the Germans were doing. Later this was confirmed. But to the French, standing the brunt of the war, it became a nightmare, wrecking more nerves and spirits than buildings. Then airmen discovered the guns. Soon thereafter the war stopped. It is well these places are marked, for It will show the visitors who go to Paris for sport and curiosity that the city endured more during the war than far off American could realize. Recognition of Merit The recent issuance of 748 permanent commissions to World War veterans in the marine corps carried more significance than Just the promotions of deserving men. It sen es in a sense to obliterate the ancient line between officers and privates, for the latter never had the opportunity to rise from the ranks as he has today. There is no reason why, among a democratic people, those who show ability should not be recognized and promoted. On the other band, there is every reason this should be done. While America has nothing to fear from its army, the infusion of new blood, with later ideas and renewed ambition, is sure to raise the standard of the army and at the same time to keep it in sympathy with the citizens of the republic. England endured in its form of government, not because of her nobility, but because younger brothers of the nobility became commoners and overcome, in a sense, titles and ancient traditions, in the quest of a living. The Infusion of new blood into the life of the common people thus kept a whole, some respect for the empty titles and forms which have so long endured. So it will be with the army of America. The officer of today was a private soldier of yesterday and a citizen the day before and had nothing in common with any military caste or clique. So he will balance that machine, will carry traditions of peace and citizenship into the ranks and thus be a powerful instrument in preserving American liberty. The Way of Utility The completion of the second Simplon tunnel under the Alps between Switzerland and Italy, which will occur in July, possesses a charm to the observer, even in this level country, for was it not the crossing of the Alps which was supposed to hold back warriors of old —Hannibal and Napoleon, and did they not accomplish what was suposed impossible? The first tunnel is over twelve miles long. It was a great engineering achievement and took a decade to complete. The old road over the Simplon occupied several years in construction and was built by Napoleofi. Now, with the help of modern machinery, the second tunnel will cost much less and will be built in shorter time than the first one. Os course, the wav to go to any place is in a straight line, the shortest distance between two points, but all the romance of engineering can never overcome the feeliug that every one should go over the mountains and enjoy the magnificent scenery and crystal-like air, instead of burrowing as a rat in the ground. ► Utility always has a strange but certain manner of achieving results without regard to the scenery or even the wishes of men. Clean Your Own House “No thoughtful citizen, whatever he may think of the prohibition policy, can possibly excuse willful violation of law by officials sworn to enforce it,” says the Chicago Daily News in an editorial effort to Justify John E .Kramer’s claim that “in view of the many difficulties encountered by the authorities in their effort to enforce the prohibition law the results achieved are remarkable.” Otae cannot reconcile the News’ statement aforesaid with Mr. Kramer’s claim. It is self-evident that one of the difficulties in the way of enforcement of prohibition is the repeated violation of the prohibition law by the very officers who are presumed to enforce it. Mr. Kramer has knowledge of these violations, yet he condones them, and complains of the violations of others interfering with his efforts. If we had less violation of prohibition laws among prohibition officers we would have less difficulty in enforcing prohibition. If Mr. Kramer would clean his own house of violators over whom he exercises Jurisdiction, he would find that there Is less need of complaint of “many difficulties encountered." \

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER CLXXIX. Promptly at six I arrived at the Walgrave. No’Jim. He hadn’t come by quarter past, either, and I reflected with what I tried to make good natured detachment, that he had never —during all tho months of our marriage—been late. But by sixthirty I was neither “detached" nor exactly good natured. Then, Just as I was trying to decide whether I'd better get a boy to page him, or phone the office to see if anything had hapened, Jim appeared and rasped out sharply: "Been looking everywhere for you, Anne. Don’t you know by this time that every one waits in the other corridor?” “This is quieter. And we used to meet here when we lived at the Walgrave,” I protested, remembering those clear, happy days through the mist of the present. “All right, all right! Don't hold me up any longer. I've a taxi waiting.” Then as I Jumped up quickly, a saturnine smile greeted me, “I thought that would start you off, you frugal soul, you! Anne, I'll have to teach you to take luxury as gracefully as you faced poverty.” “If that's a compliment, I’ll make the best of it," I replied, swallowing my chagrin tu amused realization that if Jim hadn’t beaten me to it, I would have acled like the abused member of our party. We drove at once to the fashionable thoroughfare where Jim had found the apartment that suited him so well. There was a magnificent stone pillared entrance hall with a Chinese rug worth a king's ransom on the floor, and Italian stone benches* and very modern American lamps with translucent glass shades, Jim wielded a key with an air of possession. and admitted us to a conventional city apartment. Big living room and dining room darting off from the reception hall at right angles, while a door next the dining room entrance undoubtedly led to the sleeping rooms and baths. Virginia's apartmeur was similar to that, so was Betty’s. 1 couldn't imagine this place ever seeming distinctly and exclusively mine. “Plenty of windows for light and air, and—look at the view!” said Jim with the proud air of a showman, leading me. to the great triple windows of the living room. “Oh, Jim—it's so high! Yon can look out over everything. It frightens me. Suppose there was a fire?” I cried dtsJolntedly. “You'd go over the roofs.” replied Jim, too ahsorbed in his own attitude to react

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

Henry." said Mrs. Hooper at the breakfast table; “don't forget to look for her at the station.” “I don't know why she does not come earlier,” remarked Ilenry with visions of trying to locate his sister in the crowded depot at that hour making him a bit irritalde. “She enjoys the trip out with yon," replied Mrs. Hooper, “and she always has a lot of bags and things she could never munage by herself.” “Oh, I know,” was Henry’s answer; “but it is such an Inconvenient time of the day for her to travel. 1 hepe to goodness I don't miss her.” In spite of the discomfort that Ilenry would undoubtedly suffer, before hts sister and her numerous bags would be landed srfely at home, Mrs. Hooper breathed a little prayer of thanskgiving that her arrival would be delayed until dinner time. The luxury of a guest room would not have been possible if the Hoopers' home had been a rented one. Sscarcely any one in the neighborhood hail this extra space in which to comfortably lodge a friend or relatives who cnine to pass a night or a few days under their roof. Mrs. Hooper took a great deal of pride tn the simple, dainty apartment with Its cretonne hangings, aud chair and bed covers. It was In readiness fur the unexpected guest, and on the few occasions when there had been serious Illness in the family it had provided just the extra quarters necessary to make the Invalid comfortable and insure proper care and nursing. It aiwmys seemed to Mrs. Hooper that the possession of this extra room was sufficient reward for ail the managing and planning she and Henry had done in the first years of their mar-

Two years, with the privilege of five.” I ran my eyes over the long, doubleleafed document Jim presented, but I j didn’t get much beyond the figures. | “But, Jim—how can you pay such an enormous rent? Why, we've lived on less a month than you’re—” | Furiously Jim snatched the lease from : me, folded it and returned it to his wnl- | let. He didn’t actually break in on what 1 1 was saying, but I didn't dare go on. | “Now- listen to me, Anne, and abide by ! what I'm saying.

Put up a front and you get a chance to build one, that’s the way the game is played.” “You mean we're going into debt?

What do you say to that—-you little miser?” “Jim, I know what it is to be always in debt. . . . When I was a child my father gambled, you know. Red vel vet hotel suites—parallel to t ils, one month.

He approved. As we were leaving, he said to Jim: “Who’s going to do your decorating?' Jim hesitated a moment; then he said, in a tone that conveyed his intention all along to employ a decorator; “Oh. my friend Tom Mason, of course.” Not even the n°w extravagance startled me so much as the now phase of intimacy, that I saw approaching.

There were many blessings and recompenses connected with it besides, hut tho little guest room that Mrs. Hooper was now arranging for her sister-in-law was by no mentis the least among them. With the soaring of rents even in the suburbs it Would have been a very Rtnall and cramped cottage that the allotment of $312 a year which was all her budget allowed, would have provided for them. As Henry expected Auntie Belie was quite lost In the crowd when he arrived at the station and by the time he had extracted hr and her bags they had missed the train and arrived homo ucarly an hour late. “Why you lire in this unearthly place, Is more than I can see," she grumbled ns she ate her clam chowder, which Mrs Hooper knew had improved rather than deteriorated in flavor from the long standing on the back of the stove. “We enjoy the fresh sir and space that we couldn’t have in tho city, yt.u know, Belle." said Mrs Hooper "I should think Henry would be worn to a ffaizle, and with the dinner always late, ami trying to keep things warm I should think you'd hate It," commented Auntie Belie. “But I'm never late.” snapped Ilenry, cross because he was hungry. "I'm nl ways home on timo when I don't have to wait for someone.” Mrs. Hooper, wishing to dispel further discussion of the disadvantages of living In the suburbs, urged Henry to serve the braised lamb which she had placed in front of him crisp and brown.

DALE WINTER'S ‘IRENE' IS SEASON'S SWEETHEART Anita Arlis Does a Spanish Vamp—New Policy at Rialto and Broadway

The world’s sweetheart has been found. “Irene” is her name. She was brought to life last night on tho Murat stage by Miss Dale Winter during one of those real evenings tn the theater which one reads of but seldom sees. “Irene” Is a thoroughbred and at times during the sweet melodies the clean and | beautiful dancing, the love sentiment and the wit, I could not help but think that “Irene” was file charming daughter of “Tiie Merry Widow.” “Irene" as a musical composition and as a musical comedy will rank for years to come in the memory of theater goers just as “The. Merry Widow" lias haunted tiie fancy of all for years. I do not hesitate to say that she has the edge on “Tiie Merry Widow” when it comes to melodies. The famous waltz number made the. “Widow” show, hut “Irene” boasts of such melodies ns “Last Part of Every Party,” “To Love Aon,” “Irpne," “We're Getting Away With It” and the best or them ali, “Alice Blue Gown.” Most of us are familiar with the.se tunes of “Irene” and tiie story of how a little Cinderella shop girl climbed down from the fire escape of her cheap tene.ment house and landed in real society. The question is, before you hand over your hard-earned money at tho box of flee—ls the company and production as being offered at the Murat this week worth the price? nere is my answer: It Is the biggest bargain in real entertainment which the Murat has offered this season. 1 am well awaro of the fact that one company Is presenting “Irene" in New York City and Helen Shipman is packing 'em to tho roof in Chicago, but the company at tiie Murat will stack up favorably with the best seen here in several seasons. I would not care to see any one any better than Miss Winter as the little Cinderella shop girl. Her male chorus is the best bunch of masculine hoofers I have seen in many a day and “nature” has been generous with her beauty with file girls of the company. All of the leads are adequately played, even more so in (he cases of Raymond Crane as Mine. I.ncy; Lou Ripley ns Mrs. O'Dare, the mother of Irene; Marjorie Moore ns Helen <'boston aud Gladys Nagle as Jane Gilmoiir. It is seldom that a special company prgnni-ed for Cincinnati. Detroit, Indij anapoHs and other art renters has been | so gifted with real musical comedy talent. The prize winner of them all is Miss Dale Winter. You may license me of raving again. I admit that I am in love, literally sneaking. with Irene end Miss Winter. Irene first lands on the scene ns the shop gill who admits that she has one i good looking waist which makes half : of her look p-etty good as long as she remains seated. In the first scenes of the play she Is Just the shop girl with ideas of how the swell ladies really net. I Stic accepts the offer . f Donald Marshall ; lo masquerade her Identity and become a woman of fashion. She fails to tell fir-r mother that She Is Ivins the grand lady In order to advertise the gowns of Mme. : Lucy, a “he'' dressmaker for rich females. Lucy makes Irene and two of her tenement pals charmers of fashion At night, i.ttle Irene creeps back and 1 up tho fire escape to her home, where her wrtehf ll mother Is waitin’ fur her Mother thinks that her daughter has been posing f. r an artist. It is in these fire escape scenes when Miss Winter puts the real heart in Irene and it is in the beautiful scenes at the home of the rich ones where she dances and sings with, so much charm. Tiie way Miss Winter puts over tho "Alice Blue Gown" number, as well nsl the title number, tie! up the show last night. M ss Moore and Miss Nagle are two splendid eccentric dancer* We have I seen none better this season, although j we have had sme more famous in name, but not ns nimble In their feet. They nil in making the number, “We Are Getting ' Away With If.” one of the hits of the | show. Raymond Crime as Mme. Lucy, I is one of tho laughing tips of the show, j I could write pages on “Irene.” but I I will stop except to state that last night ! was Legion night. Every one had a great | time between acts by taking part in a color paper shower and a balloon battle. Several “stunts” wtro pulled by the legion. Put your money on “Irene." because you cannot loose. It's tiie safest bet of rile season. At the Murat all week. —W. D. H. ! PUSS IN HOOTS JR. ll y David Cory. “New you wait for a few minutes,” sii ! the Giant who kopt the bridge to Lollypop Town, as I mentioned in the story before this, "and as soon ns tiie sun goes down, my son will come and take my place, and then we ll all go to i my castle fur supper.” So tho good-natured p!g drove his team of dogs under a shady chestnut treo, and . tho little bear and monkey Jumped out and played tag on tiie grass. Put Puss ! sat down by tho Giant and talked, for he hadn't met n giant for a long, long i time. And while everyone was busy, I the driver pig gave Ills dogs a bone. Well, after a while the Giant's son arrived. and after giving him the key to tiie bridge gate, the Giant said to Puss: "Follow me and we'll soon bent my castle." And then he started off and my goodness! wliat great big long strides ho took, and tho dog* hud to run as fast as they conld to keep up with him. Well, bye and bye, after a while, they came to tiie castle. So the Giant took an iin- j mouse key out of his pocket and opened tiie gates, and then they all went into the courtyard. Now tho Giant had n very wicked wife and she hated animals. So as soon as she saw Puss Junior and his friends she made plans to harm them. But of course ! slio didn't say anything about that to | her giant husband. Oh, my, no! She j was like a great many wives; she didn't j tel! him anything. Well, as soon as the dog team was I Put. in (he great stables. I’uss, (lie little bear, tiie monkey and the pig driver followed tho Giant into tiie castle, where ills giant wife received them In a very friendly way, although all the time she was saying to herself- “I'll make a fine ro.i-t. dinner out of the pig, and have some delicious steaks f*om the little bear, and tho monkey’s skin will make ine a very nice fur boa. and as for tiie cat in boots well, I'll ttilnk over what I'l! do with him." And then she went down to tiie kitchen to seo the chef, which is French for a cook, you know. And after that, the Giant took them all over his castle, and then he took them upstairs to comb their hair and wash their paws. Well. Just ns soon ns lie went down the great hall, a little poll parrot began to sing in a low voice: “Be careful of the Giant's wife, Site's always stirring up some strife, j She makes believe she's fond of you | And then some kind of harm she'll do. | So please be cart ful of your life And look out for the Giant's wife.” Goodness me! When Puss and his friends heard that, they looked at each oilier, and then they all came close together and whispered among themselves. “Let’s leave at once.” said the pig. “Let's tell the Giant," said the little bear. "Let's climb out of the window,” said the monkey. "Leave everything to me," said Puss bravely. And then he showed them his little magic gold ring and his flaming magic feather. And just then they heard the giantess call in a loud voice. “Come down for supper,” and in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1921. (To be continued.)

PRETTY? SURE, BUT ‘ SHE’ IS A HE

The prettiest “woman” on B. F. Keith’s stage this week is Mr. Karyl Norman, known as “The Creole Fashion Plate” and a performer who has dignified the art of female impersonations. Sir. Nor

CONCERNING MR. SHEA AND OTHERS AT KEITH'S. There are some interesting and deeidely worth while people on the current bill at B. F. Keith's. The honors are nearly evenly divided • between Karyl Norman, a woman Impersonator, and Mr. Thomas E. Shea, an actor who leans toward the classics. Both are more than enjoyable, each is worth while. Mr Shea by a clever introduction of his characters is able to present Cardinal Richelieu, the murderer in “The Bells” and Dr, Jokyll and Mr. Hyde. Two men are seated in a club discussing the topics of the day. The talk drifts to the theater and actors The club members talk of seeing Mr. Shea as the Cardinal |in “Richelieu." As one of tiie men tells of witnessing the performance, the lights are lowered and when a spotlight plays on the stage, Mr. Shea Is discovered in his red robes in one of the big scenes from tho play. After tiiis Impersonation, .Mr. Fhea appears in the trial scene from “The Beils" and follows that with the final s"ene of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” This l- heavy entertainment, heavier than we have had tills season at Keith's and yet the public tendered Mr. Shea a splendid ovation yesterday afternoon which resulted in curtain rails and a real talk by this splendid actor who has taken it upon himself to give vaudeville some worth wiille Impressions. Mr. Shea deserves the splendid reception given him yesterday and I wish that the bookers would give us some more of the serious things on the stage. The “female" likeness of Mr. Karyl Norman will be found elsewhere in this department. He held up tiie show as did Mr. Shea, line of the enjoyable acts of tie* bill opens the show and the honor of making this spot a success fails to Harry and Grace E; sworth. The dancing of the man Is of fine quality. Charlie O'Donnell stages some corking good stage fulls in an affair called “The I'lano Tuner." It Is good fur many honest laughs. Fred Wliiflebl and Marie Ireland offer an eccentric rube sketch called “The Belle of Blngville." Realistic character work Is done by A1 I.ydell and Carleton Maey in "Old Cronies." Selblni and Grouini close tiie show with an offering which Is mostly devoted to demonstrations of the value of physical culture. Yesterday afternoon Earl Christie and Charles U-nnott, who ldll themselves as “Two Boys From Virginia,” were guilty of telling two Jokes at least which should never lie allowed on any stage. It isn't so much what they say, but it is tlie suggestive way in which the audience is allowed to supply tiie meaning. 1 am sure that tile blue pencil lias been used by Manager Eggleston long before this appears. Do not mi's Mr. Shea and Mr. Norman as both are trials of the season ** Keith's a!! week.—W. D. 11.

ANITA AND HER BOYS FROLIC AND SING AT LYRIC. There is a big-time way about Anita Arils and her Winter Garden Boys at the Lyric th's week. One of the men of the company Is a splendid violinist and a pianist is able to make a Jazz selection out of the “Old Oaken Bucket.” She uses an orchestra director in the pit who puts over a clever solo number while directing. Several clever soft-shoe dancing numbers also are presented during the course of the act. Miss Arils sings several numbers, the best being a Spanish affair during which she is aided by her company. The act is nicely mounted and has class. Johnny Neff appears to be the applause winner of the bill. He lias a clever way of telling the Jokes of A1 Jolson, Lew Dockstader aud others while he explains to the audience that be doesn't have to buy his jokes like the other famous story tellers do.

The late Lieutenant Locklear takes the leading part in the movie, “The Skyway-V man,” a movie which he was completing when he was killed in an air accident. In this movie he loops the loop and lands on a roof of a big city building. “The Rkywnyman” was produced in California by William Fox, who saw the opportunity to picture the thrilling deeds of the dare-devil of the air and record his deeds permanently. He has rightly been called "the erusader of the air," for he was among the first who dared to step from one plane to another thousands of feet in the air. “The Skywayman” is a dramatic story which gives him ample opportunity to display his wonderful talents as a daredevil aviator. In It he leaps from a low flying plane to a swiftly moving express train, and repeats the stunt by jumping from the train to the rope ladder that hangs from the aeroplane. A daring landing on a roof from the air is also a feature of this unusual production. Supporting LleutPnnnt Locklear is Louise Lovely, who has been seen in \ many previous Fox pictures in support of well known stars, and who is now to be starred in pictures herself. Ten per cent of the. profits of the “Skywayman" will be given by William Fox to the families of the late Lieutenant Locklear and his pilot. Tt is a picture that does more than entertain and thrill—it will instruct mankind and aid in the future in the great conquest of the air. Th feature of the spoken contribution of the bill at the Rialto this week is a musical comedy called “The Nicest Girl in Town.” A cast of twenty Is used. [There are numerous singing and dayicing j numbers. -I- -I- -1REN \ND “LETTY” MOYTE FEATURES NEW POLICY BILL. 1 Rex. a Hindoo mystic and a movie ver sion of the stage comedy, “So Long Lefty,” in which Charlotte Greenwood made theatrical history in the stage version. makes up the double feature bill of anew policy at the Broadway.
