THE CITY ADMINISTRATION ought to be able to find ways to spend money without the necessity of crowding narrow street crossings with someone's useless substitute for traffic regulation. i . ■ ■■ ■ ■ ■■ ' ■' DOUBTLESS, those Shortridge school authorities realized the uselessness of reporting the misconduct of a negro to the police and that is why they decided to deal with the assailant of two students themselves. STRANGE, isn’t it, how the ownership of that coal stolen by Statehouse employes changed between the time they admitted the theft In the city court and the time they induced Judge Collins to free them in Criminal Court? THE THING about the impending retirement of George C. Hitt as business director of the public schools that peeves a certain newspaper in Indianapolis is that it will not again have the opportunity to offer the place to an ex-employe! Value the Property However they may differ with Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel of Indianapolis, the public service commission and the people of Indianapolis are under obligations to him for a very thorough brief of the street car case now pending before the commission. Mr. Ashby appears to have investigated separately and severally the various phases of this appeal for emergency relief and he presents a very able plea against further increase of street car fares in Indianapolis. On general principles we are inclined to agree with Mr. Ashby that the emergency section of the public utility law was never intended to be stretched to a point where it afforded relief to a company able to pay any dividends whatever. We cannot agree with the company’s contention that the emergency clause empowers the commission to grant rates that would enable it .o accumulate a surplus. On the other hand, we do not deny the right of the street car company or any other utility to rates that enable it to earn a fair return on the true value of the property used and useful in serving the public. Once more we are back to the fundamental error in the commission s method of dealing with public utilities. For years, practically, ever since the commission was born, the street car company has been before it seeking relief. Never has the commission sought to carry out the statutory mandate that the corporation’s property be evalued for rate-making purposes. Asa consequence, Mr. Ashby and the street car company are again, or still, quarreling over the value of the property and until the commission follows the law and makes this evaluation the quarrel will continue. Until the commission determines judicially the value of the property used and useful in furnishing street car service to the people of Indianapolis and establishes rates that will enable the company to obtain a fair return on this valuation, there will be so-called "emergency relief petitions. Every "emergency relief” petition is in contravention of the public idea of fair dealing and each succeeding one becomes more obnoxious.

Disqualified Both Mr. Robison and Mr. Shank, opposing candidates for the Republican nomination for mayor, are agreed that the city administration is attempting to force the nomination of Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, by coercing city officials and employes into sup.parting Howe. In fact, the evidence is so plain that it Is not even denied by the Howe backers or the members of the administration themselves. We submit to the people of Indianapolis that a candidate for mayor who will sit supinely by and permit this misuse of the public money in an effort to grab an office for him is not a fit man to be elevated to that office. Mr. Howe cannot lay claim to being the choice of the people of Indianapolis even in the not likely event of his nomination. What support he has so far obtained in this campaign does not come from the belief tiiat he is fit for the position, nor from any desire on the part of the people of Indianapolis to have him as mayor. It Is, of course, disappointing to see a man who once sat as the head of one of our State’s greatest educational Institutions now standing forth as the automaton! for a crowd of self-seeking politicians whose sense of honor is so stultified that they revel in the opportunity to use what should be a public organization for a private purpose. The only thing that makes the campaign of Mr. Howe, as it is now being conducted, a presentable one, is the respectability lent it by the participation of such men as Walter Marmon. We cannot believe that Walter Marmon approves of the use of such tools as Rufe Page, Joker Young and other negro gamblers in the nomination of a mayor of Indianapolis. The only plausible explanation of the seeming acquiescence of Mr. Marmon and others of this type in the methods that are being used by the Jewett administration in the furtherance of Mr. Howe’s campaign is that they are not acquainted with the “practical methods” of the crowd with whom they have been associated. Be that as it may. It remains a fact that Indianapolis is paying too ipuch for the doubtful benefits to be derived from the primary. No man who is nominated for public office by coercion, chicanery or fraud is capable of giving a proper administration even if elected. Standardizing Tobacco All of the boys and some of the girls will be glad to know that the Government is finally to take some action to standardize the sale of the tobacco crop. Over a thousand million dollars are paid yearly to cultivators of this great commodity—it is the fourth crop in value in the United States, being exceeded only by corn, cotton and wheat, yet no standard exists for the payment to the tobacco farmers. The buyer gets the tobacco under all kinds of conditions, and often the transfer is at a great sacrifice, for storage, classification and grading are generally wholly neglected and the sale sometimes occurs before it is matured. Thus people who think they are smoking tobacco when really it is cabbage or mullen leaf, will soon be where they are as safe as though the pure food law covered the aromatic nicotine. And their friends who tolerate the smell of rope or gunny sacking under the belief it is some special tobacco need no longer be punished. A great interest will follow this classification and standardization, for thereby may the 5-cent cigar return —if there is enough poor tobacco left. Another result may be that society will possibly go to chewing tobacco and using snuff, as was done in days passed, for surely the delightful blends and shades will no longer be piled on the common heap of burley. A certain justice of the Supreme Court once offered $25,000 for a chew of tobacco as good as it was when he was a boy. A tobacco magnate doubted the amount for a taster as good as in youth but both were disappointed. Possibly now with proper and scientific standardization someone may realize those dreams. • Wireless Blessings With the statement that an engineer has perfected a clock that is corrected by the radio wireless impulse sent out from Washington, comes the question as to what is the limit of new and good things about to happen? Already is the statement taken in earnest that before long every house Will send up its receiver and get wireless energy for cooking and heating, while tomorrow may find a little telephone carried in the pocket for wireless use and soon there will be no excuse for failure to come home promptly for dinner and to bring bread, for the wireless will go anywhere. If the radio activity can regulate a clock what is to prevent it from regulating the going and coming of mankind in daily life, and rocking the cradle from the office? May not the banker send a little tingle to the wrist for a warning that a note is coming due and follow it up stronger and stronger until the debtor is glad to settle on any terms? A warning could radiate that soon it would be church time and indeed no more tardy pupi's would have excuse of forgetting the hour of day. Likewise could newsboys be furnished with musical wireless oUtfitSi- so as not to disturb early morning slumbers of a tired world. The doors of possibilities are so broad that it is useless to commence the enumeration of benefits to bless mankind via the wireless rpute.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life

CHAPTER d’LXXXII. ‘‘What time is the woman coming to help you pack?” asked Jim, when the last day in our little home rolled around. “I only hope she comes,” 1 replied inoautionsly; but at sight of Jim’s face I added hastily, “Now don't call me a ‘miser’ again! I w-ent to several agencies, but none of them had any one in. But, finally, at the last place, they said that they’d try to have a woman here this morning.” “Well, you’d better ‘phone and see," ordered Jim in great annoyance. But when the agency, couldn't promlso me any one he decided to stay home and help me, and 'phoned the office to say he wouldn't be down till after lunch. “Now you start with the bedroom and I’ll take the living room, and we’ll work toward each other,” said .Tim, with a great air of efficiency: adding jovially: “We ought to meet about halfway between the gas stove and the ice chest.” So I Immersed myself at once in stowing our wearables in the wardrobe trunks and piling our other possessions in Jim's big suitcase and some bags. I was working away so busily that 1 didn’t hear the doorbell ring, nnd had a real surprise when Jim came to the door and announced that it was getting on toward noon and Mrs. O’Callahan had come from the agency to see if we wanted her for the rest of the day. "We don't need her now"—l began, but Jim interupted: “Don’t we Just! I left her out their finishing the living room and I’m going to beat it for tho office.” “Jim, we haven’t any beds or anything; where are we going to sleep tonightY” I asked suddenly. “You funny kid!” laughed Jim indulgently. "I wondered when you were going to wake up and ask about that. Well, I’ve engaged rooms at the Walgrave”— “The Walgrave?” I cried. “Why, Jimme, that's where we spent our first week in the city—the week after our wonderful honeymoon. I'll love being at tho Walgrave again—love It!” “Will you love being at the Walgravo again with me. Princess Anne?” asked Jim—tenderly It seemed. At sound of the dear name which he had used for so long, my eyes misted over and a queer, choking feeling of happiness and hope made me sway a little on my feet. Jim took a quick step

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average Amerh , family of live, living Li a suburl town, on a limited income, will t the readers of the Dally Times ho the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical.

FRIDAY. “How is your China Famine Fund coming on?” asked Auntie Belle Joining the children and Mrs. Hooper at luncheon. “I hear you are saving your pennies tor that.” “We girls are to make a report at our meeting this afternoon," said Helen, "arid we hope to have all of the $6 very soon. We plan to give only that much, but they say $6 will save the life of one starving Chinese. There are six of us and we have each promised to earn $1 toward It.” “How near are you to your dollar?” asked Auntie Belle. "I have still “0 cents to earn,” answered Helen. “I’ve made mine principally by doing errands ami addressing some envelopes. Eleanor Jones earned hers In a week taking Mrs. Smith's baby out every afternoon after school, and Lottie Brown took care of Miss Ralston’s cat the week she went to the city. The rest of us have been slower about collecting ours.” “Well, I'll give you the 20 cents for doing these errands for me on your way home from school,'’ said Auntie Belle. “I have made out a list of things I want at the drug store. If you leave it when you go by. the clerk will have the parcel ready for you after school, so you won't have to wait.” “Thank you, Auntie Belle,” said Helen delightedly. "If the other threo girls have each made up their dollar, w'o will have the whole $0 this afternoon for the meeting.” “Well, I e.xpeet to have my sfl by tomorrow- night.” said Roger proudly. “That was a fine Job 1 had, straightening up all those old papers and receipts. “That seems a good deal for that kind of work," remarked Auntie Bdle practical!y. “You wouldn’t have thought so If yon had seen It when I first tackled those trunks full of old papers," objected Roger. “I Just said I wanted to earn $6 right away for the China Famine Fund and Mr. Brown said: “I guess there Is 56 worth of work there all right young man, go to It.” “Well, as long as yonr employer thinks yon earned it I suppose it is all right, but why he didn’t keep his papers in order himself is wbnt I can’t see,’’ was Aunt Belle's final comment. There was much Jollification among the group of girls that met every Friday afternoon with Helen In the Hooper living room, when it was discovered that each one of them had assembled her dollar and their contribution was ready to be sent to the famine fund committee in the city, that was taking care of tho starving millions in China. In the afternoon at the club the mothers of the girls decided that if their chil dren had undertaken the responsibility of helping In this special need that they should also do something, and after discussing it. they voted SSO from the club treasury as a donation to the fund. Mrs. Hooper and her sister-ln-Inw stopped at the market on the way home from the club nnd did the shopping for Saturday and Sunday, which made her purchases for the week Include a half .. pound of bacon, nt 4S cents a pound ; 25 cents worth of stewing veal and two veal kidneys at 24 cents; a pound of chopped beef for 40 cents; sausage meat. 40 cents; lamb for braising, 60 cents, and neck of heef for soup, 16 cents. Her fish for the week Included a pint of clams for 30 cents, tw'elve smelts for 60 cents, 75 cents worth of haddock and a package ot shredded codfish for 25 cents.

forward and caught my KYrnds In his—then a mellow voice addressed us from the doorway: “The front room's as bare as me hand of everythin', 'ceptin' what himself tould me not to touch, seein' as how he’d piled it on the refreshment table to be stayin' here after ye. Now, what’ll I be doin’?” Jim’s eyes flashed and he dropped my hands. Our moment was gone. “I’ll be running along to the office,” said Jim, almost awkwardly. “If Pin not at the apartment by 5 don’t look for me much before 7 at the Walgrave. “Do you want to go to a show tonight ?”• “Not specially—unless you do," I replied in equal embarrasment. I felt as If a policeman had caught us holding hands on a park bench. "Well—l’ll see. So long,” said Jim, and rushed out as If he were making his escape. Mrs. O'Callahan and 1 finished the packing, got a snack of lunch, tidied up the apartment, and then—ln a taxicab, laden to Its last Inch of tonnage—drove first to the Walgrave, where I deposited a trunk and a pair of bags, and then on to the new apartment. It was long after 4 when we arrived, and by the time I had stowed away the remaining trunks nnd bags and boxes Mrs. O’Callahan announced that her day was over and she wouldn't work another hour for man nor woman. So J gave her directions for the morrow and permitted her to depart.. I had plenty of time, so I walked, smiling to myself at what I knew Jim would call my miserliness. Day-dreaming happily, I swung nlong my way. We wore going back to the Walgrave, where we had spent such glowing days together. Jim had called me his Princess again, and had caught my hands with a flash of the feeling I had begun to think 1 was powerless to kindle. I’erbape in the Walgrave we would find again our romance, our lost Joy In ea'h other. Suddenly I noticed a familiar figure swinging down the street ahead of me. As It dashed up the steps of a house, rang the bell and was admitted promptly. I awoke from dreaming. It was Neal I bad seen —Neal going into Evvy Mason's home. Almost of their own volition my feet started up the steps after him.—Copyright, 1921. (To Bo Continued.)

By David Cory. ~ Well, as soon ns the little bear, the monkey and the pig awoke from the deep sleep which the wicked giantess had cast over them, they followed Puss out of the castle. But when they reached the great court yard and Raw tho giant sitting by the fountain and his wife, who had been changed Into a stone statue dose by, they were afraid, and the pig began to squeal most dreadfully. "Don't be afraid of me,” said the jrlatu In a kind voice, "I shan’t do anything to you because Sir Puss Junior changed my wife into a statue. She hns ~p en most unkind to animals all her life perhaps some day Puss Junior will change her into a woman aenin." A year from today." said Puss "I will release her from the spell."

story before this, his giant wife made things most uncomfortable for him. Well, pretty soon, the pig climbed into his wagon and so did Puss and the little bear and the monkey, and then the pig said “gid-ap" to his dog team and away they went to Lolly-pop Town, where they had intended going some three or five stories ago only the giant had Invited them to visit him at his castle instead, you remember. But, oh, dear me. They had gone for only a short distance when, all of a sudden, they heard a voice say: "Where are you going, I'd like to know, You look like an amateur circus show. Two poor dogs, it seems to me, Are dragging too many people by three.” And then, of course. Puss and the little hear and the monkey looked all around to see who was speaking, for. of course, they knew the voice was talking about them. “I guess you'd better get out.” said the pig. “I'm afraid I'll be arrested, al- | though I don’t know who Is talking.” i And Just then, all of a sudden, a scare- | crow Jumped out from behind a stone J wall. And, oh my! but he was a policeI manlike looking person. He had on an ! old army cloak and a fireman’s red hel- | met, a pair of khaki trousers and a pair of old boots. Well, by this time, Puss and his two friends had Jumped out of the wagon, and before the scarecrow could say another word, the little bear ran off to the woods and the monkey hid hlmsef. I don’t know Just where, and so of course Puss was left all alone, for the pig Just then drove away as fast as he could, “Now that you've frightened all my friends so that they have deserted me, what are you going to do?" asked Puss, and then he curled his whiskers and looked quite fiercely at the scarecrow. “Oh, I didn’t mean to be cross,” he answered. "I was only Joking.” And then he took off his helmet and wiped his forehead with a torn bandana, which is a sort of handkerchief, you know. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.)

And finally, because the entire com* pany aids so successfully In giving theater patrons a dream night In the land of make believe. “Apple Blossoms” gets off to a mild start In the prolog and the spoken lines fail to match up with the melodies. That is generally true during the entire play unless Mr. Knight is on the stage. But who cares for the spoken word when there is such wonderful music in the air. It is in the prolog where the splendid song "Brothers.” begins its haunting career. Fred and Adele Astaire also start their remarkable hoofing exhibitions here and follow it up to a splendid climax in the last act. Miss Bennett is first heard singing, “Who Can Tell?” As pretty a stage picture ever conceived is after the wedding scene In the first act, during which Miss Bennett and girls sing, “When the Wedding Bells Are Ringing” It Is in this act that Mr. Thomas halted proceedings with “Little Girls, Good-by.” The quintette Is also Introduced In this act In the second and last act, which takes place in a gorgeous ballroom. Miss Bennett sings “Star of Love” and does a Spanish dance number. Following that wave of melody and grace, Miss Temple and men of the company do a saucy little thing, called "A Girl, A Man, A Night. A Dance.” Then Fred and Adele Astaire come bounding on with a dance which tied up the show again. Then, the tantalizing "Second Violin” number as done by Miss Temple and Mr. Knight. Opinion: “Apple Blossoms” is the last •vord in refinement and In melody on the stage. It has singing perfectly done and melodies that are hard to beat. What more do you want?
