Advertising offices fc'ew York, Boston, Payne, Burns A Smith, Inc. AFTER TODAY what the school board does will not make so much inference to certain newspapers. IT IS A GOOD thing Indianapolis did not have a primary while that Dayton special was on its way! GIPSY SMITH has passed on to another field, but late frosts are not Ikely to damage the seeds he sowed in Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS citizens visited a city half as big with twice the busi.ess district yesterday and it started some of them to thinking. THE STATE BOARD of accounts seems to have found a Democrat tgainst whom to make some charges afte# a long and vigorous search! A HEADLINE says Mr. Stillman will “press his suit.” It will require tome pressing to remove the wrinkles resulting from his divorce case. Transportation's Aid The announcement by the United States Steel Corporation of the establishment of a steamer line to transport products to the Pacific via Panama is expected soon. It is anticipated that such a move wall enable the owners to lay down steel on the west coast at a price with which others could not sompete. This suggests the maxim that the control of transportation unlocks the floor of competition. It was in the time when railroad rebates could be given that some of the largest corporations grew great, but that practice is passed. Now, to grow greater, It will be necessary to own the ships which Will carry the product to market. It is told that the foundation of the Rothschild fortune was laid as a result of getting to London first, after the battle of YV aterloo. The hardy pioneer with his crude wagons and slow transportation eventually conquered the wilderness. England, mistress of the seas, carries her goods everywhere and brings back tribute and great profit. The final result of owning or controlling transportation cflnnot be seen. The large oil companies built pipe lines and Congress made them common carriers, but that has not solved the problem. Regulations may be made, permitting competitors to ship, but the handicap of certainty, of favored ihlpments and of lower ultimate rates will be hard to overcome, where jnce such a large corporation is firmly established in shipping. It is like swning your own automobile, making it available any time.

Comfort The experience of two little children left alone recently in a house, brings to the mind the trials of big people, also. These tpts, aged 8 and 4, were In their home unattended for a little while one real dark night They aecame frightened at nothing and their parents finally reclaimed them at the police station, where big hearted blue coats were comforting them. These children took upon themselves all the imaginary' dangers of goblins to say nothing of burglars, robbers and possibly alien enemies. Every gust of wind, the creaking of a door, the peculiar noises about the house, all convinced the young minds that something awful would happen, [n prudence a policeman was found, refuge was offered and contentment reigned while Young America was with those whom he has rightfully been aught to regard as his true friends. Many a man, full grown and even aged, can sympathize with these tittle ones. A sudden noise, an unusual sound will often, for an Instant, sause a mental panic and upset in the mind the finest poise or the utmost bravery. The prophet of old even noted the little cloud, no larger than a can’s hand, in the sky. Only reason and experience can comfort grown-ups while generous and manly police are sometimes all powerful to children, The reason of maturity and experience convince the timid that on the morrow the sun will shine, that no noise will harm and that good is the rule and not the exception. Sometimes, nevertheless, older people seek company, and on this communities have grown into nations. Happy indeed arevthose who can regard the law as a friendly institution and its officers as comforters.

Alcohol From Coal It is said the Germans are using a secret process whereby alcohol fit tor human consumption is produced from coal and limestone. Patents have been asked in fourteen countries. There are some who assert that no alcohol is fit for human consumption and it is certain that some is a deadly poison. It is recalled that carbolic acid comes from coal, together with several hundred other products, medicines and chemicals, so the discovery of the art of distilling the coal or making alcohol is not regarded as beyond the range of possibility. In soft coal countries, hogs are always permitted to chew on coal—it is said to be good for them, but whether It is to obtain the booze or acids could best be answered by an expert from some agriculture college. It would do no good for any old toper to undertake to negotiate a ton or two of coal with the idea of enjoying a beverage—the art is too new. A statement is made that in some of the moonshine products which are for sale on the streets is placed lye to furnish the kick. Possibly the function of the limestone would be to do this important part In the new coal product. On the other aspect, may not kind Mother Nature be thanked for revealing another of her secrets, for tempering the wind to the shorn lamb, as it were, at Just the time when stills are forbidden and good moonshine Is scarce, 60 that those on the desert may realize there is an oasis somewhere, sometime? The coal fields and limestone quarries of Indiana may yet offer succor to the world, If needed.

In the Colosseum The renting of the Colosseum at Rome to a theatrical company does not raise a protest here as it did in the ancient capital of Italy but a storm of indignation will arise if that wonderful and historical structure is unworthily used. Here the early Christians were fed to wild animals or burned. Many a gladiator died in this arena and for over two thousand years*the great edifice has stood, a mute testimonial to other and darker ages. To have it desecrated now by any foolish plays involving Impossible situations and meaning! ess nothings would surely cause a revulsion of feeling to say the least. Mentally, anyhow, thumbs would be turned down, upon poor players who are strutting and sweating their hours away upon the stage and then are seen no more. Perhaps the spirit of those olden times when the turning of the thumb by the monarch deprived the gladiator of his life might again arise, for history travels in cycles and those who did not please would go to an untimely end. There is little danger, however, to the poor actor, with eggs at even sacrifice prices. * The strangers who visit Rome may see a revival of some of the grandeur of the early ages, may witness pageants and shows in the manner of years before Christianity started its gentle influence, but, of course, the brutality of pagan day3 are gone, excepting in association and memory.

4 Strange Conspiracy It is too bad that there are no Philadelphia lawyers situated in Switzerland and there certainly are no Income tax explainers in those hills, because a recent case has come to light which has taxed the reasoning power of everybody and is unanswered. A maiden lady, grieving because she was not married, wanted to kill herself, but lacked physical courage. Two men agreed to drown her and Bhe paid them three hundred pounds for their trouble. They took the money, but did not drown her. Both were sent to prison. Had they kept their bargain and violated the law r they would have gone to prison, but In falling to do this, they betrayed the woman, a party to a conspiracy to violate the 'aw. Because they did not violate the law they are sent to prison and had j ey violated it they would have been sent, upon being caught. All of the p- I lies were conspirators to commit a crime. The question is, what should be done with the lady! There are three million more men than women in America. Perhaps some person who is an admirer of the Swiss~people could be induced to remove the cause ol grief of this lady. If so, an interesting legal problem would be unsolved, but that could be forgiven. l

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

CHAPTER CLXXXV. My hfind was already on the telephone receiver when a tiny, fumbling sound arrested my attention and the motion I was beginning to make. I clutched the receiver, but did not lift It from the hook. After a second of fright the sounds explained ltseif—a key in the lock. And as I stared, waiting for I scarcely knew what, the door opened cautiously and Jim tip-toed over the threshold. I stared at him—and he at me—ln a sort of daze. At last he moistened his lips and muttered: "Anne! What are yon doing np at this hour?" “Come In and shut the door,” I said. My voice sounded flat and indifferent. I was tired and hurt. And suddenly I didn't see how a woman could Imagine that she cared for a man who hurt her so much—who gave her. In fact, practically nothing but wounds. Wounds to her pride. Wounds to love. Wounds to life Itself—No woman could possibly go on loving a man who bruised love over and over, each time she nursed It back to life —I saw thl§ suddenly with dreadful clearness. Jim shut the door and limped across the room toward me. "I'm dog tired,” he said, "dog tired. And yon look fresh as a daisy. Where were you anyway when I phoned last night?” His voice took on a querulous tone, and suddenly his eye lighted on the letters on the white porcelain annunciator. "A message In the office. May be Important. Let's have It!" So I took down tho telephone receiver which I had stood clutching all this while and asked for the message for room 81st. Then I turned to repeat It to Jim, flexing the stiff fingers of my life hand and noticing vaguely as I did so that my knuckles were white. "It’s the message you phoned In for me Inst night—that you had to meet Mr. Cosby at the station and might go ont of town with him, and In that case wouldn't be In till morning. ... I don't see why I didn't get It.” "Why you didn't get It?" Jim's eyes traveled over my finery with an amused filr of n'ppralssl. "Because you were out. That's evident. But you keep pretty wild hours. \nne Were you with Virginia or Phoebe?" "I wasn't out,” I said wearily and without troubling to give any particular emphasis to my words. “Aw—tell that to some other guy, not to Jimmie. Who took you out, Anne?”

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a Buburi.an town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved hr working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved anil found practical. Follow them daily In an Interesting review of their honie life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) TUESDAY. As Mrs. nooper proceeded with the weeky wash she went over In her mind the things she had noted in her Inspec- 1 tlon yesterday In the matter of what ; new things they would need In house 1 equipment for the spring. There were several articles that they really needed besides the much-coveted electric washing machine, but since she had decided to concentrate, on saving for that she knew that the purchase of anything else would have to be a matter of careful consideration. She had de ided to forcer* the new cretonne slip covers for the chairs and -ouch In the living room, which she had been promising herself for a long time. Fresh new tape bindings would help to brighten them up and they would really do for ano'her season, look dainty for summer, even If It couldn't he ns ‘'made over” as she has expected to have It. Tho thought that they spent so much i time out of doors and on the scrcened-lu porch did much toward reconciling her as what her slster-In-law hnd denounced as "shabbiness,” but which she really knew was not that -but a lark of shiny new- ; ness and what some of the neighbors termed "style." While helping her mother in the klteh- i en before diner Helen expressed several preferences. In the matter of her new i clothes, to which Mrs. Hooper listened with interest. "I wart something orange-colored, j mother; please don't forget that,” she I urged as she carried the tray filled with ; dishes to the dining room table. "All the girls have ovnaure on their clothes ; somewhere, no matter what color they are.” “Ton fust have a pretty checked gingham for school," said her mother, ignoring her references to the prevailing rage for ontnge In the clothes of even small girls. “Y'es, I’d like that, too," agreed Helen “and I do wish I could have anew I’eter

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By Davlfl Cory. " Now, you remember In the story before tills how Puss anil the cobbler went to bed, after the boots ba was making for Pus* has been cut out and left on the work bench. Well, no sooner was Puss asleep than two little elves from the fore'-t crept down the street of the quiet little town and peeped into the window, and when they saw Puss Junior's unfinished boots lying on the cobbler's bench they whispered together, and pretty soon one of them softly lifted the latch oa the door and then they both tiptoed into the room and sat down by the bench. The moonbeams came In through the little window and made It as light as day, so the two little elves picked up needle and thread and sat to work. And after they had finished sewing they put on the heels and hammered In the wooden pegs ns neatly as you please. And last of all, they sewed on the red tops. “Now we will leave a letter In the boots for this famous little cat,” they said, so they toots a piece of paper and wrote on It: "Heigh diddle dumpling little Sir Cat, These are seven league boots, please remember that. You will find you can walk as fast as a train. And your feet will keep dry even out In the rain. Remember that the elves have made them ferr you, Never forget this, no matter what you do.” And then the two little elves slipped out of the door as softly as you please and ran back to the forest. Well, when Puss and the cobbler came down the next morning, of course, they found the boots finished and ready to wea r. “Gracious me!” exclaimed the good cobbler, “tho:-e kind elves have made me a visit. ’Tls many mouths since they were last here.” And while he was speaking Puss tried on the bools, and of course he came across the letter which the two little elves had written. Ho he took it out and read it to the cobbler. “Gracious me!" exclaimed that good man again. “You have a wonderful pair of boots. For better than I ever could have made for you.” And then he patted Puss between the ears, just where cats 'Jove to be patted, you know. And then began to purr, for he was a friendly little cat, you kno*v> and sometimes liked to act just an ordinary cst. “What do I owe ym\, my good man'. 1 ” ho Asked, but ths cjubler wouldn't tabs

“I tell yon I wasn’t out of the place," I repeated pettishly. Jim lurched to his feet and took the step that separated us. A queer, impish light flickered into Jim’s eyes, and he caught my wrists in one of his bands and drew me very close, tilting my face to his lips with the other hand. His touch annoyed—even frightened me. I dragged myself out of his clasp and flung him from me. "Let me alone,” I said. "You've forfeited the right to touch mo.” “Don’t worry. I won't touch you again In a hurry,” he laughed mirthlessly. “But now I'll trouble you to tell me what you’ve done that makes you afraid to tgjve your husband kiss you.” “It Isn’t what I've done,” I snapped. “It's what you've done. Staying out like this on our very first night back at the Walgrave. And leaving me to wait and wait—all by myself—like this—and eat my dinner alone. It’s humiliating. It's cruel.” My voice took on an aggrieved tone as I recited the tale of my wrongs. But Jim stood eyeing me Incredulously and coldly. “Don't be absurd and childish, Anne. I may be tired, but you can't string me along like this. Why, do you try to lie to me? Y’ou can't get away with, it, by jingo. Were you out with Norreys?” “I tell you I wa ;n’t out,” I said aciduously. “It's not I who should give an account of myself—but you. I dressed to go down to dinner, and then hadn’t the heart to brazen It out In the dining room alone, so I came up and ordered my dinner here. I suppose they tried me here while I was downstairs and paged me In the dining room after I returned to the room.’’ “That dress—if you were in all evening—why are you still wearing It?” "Because I fell asleep waiting for you,” I said In a voice that threatened to tremble. “I shall never sit up for you again. That I promise myself. And now perhaps you'll—condescend to give me some idea what you were doing. But when ho answered, I almost wished that I need not have known. “Oh, I wa3 having a little session of Blind Tiger with some oil men Crosby went to the station to meet,” said Jliu. “Blind Tiger—poker, you know." “You’re gambling again," I whispered. “Gambling 1” Jim laughed. “Say, what's my whole business —the business that buys you suites, like this, at the Walgrave?”—Copyright, 1921. x (To be Continued.)

Fan dress for school, too. Alice Briggs has a lovely Jersey one that her mother bought her. It has an orange colored sash, too.” “Well, you can't have • Jersey one, Helen, because they are too expensive,", replied Mrs. Hooper firmly, “but I'll make you one that will be Just as pretty as the one Mrs. Briggs got for Alice. I promise you that.” "Oh, I know you will, mother, dear.” said Helen, hastily. "Every one save that I have the prettiest clothes and they always think that (hey are 'bought' ones." ' And she never tells any one that they are not," put in Roger, accusingly, as he loitered by the sink on his way to the basement. “Shoo doesn't say a word about your having made them." Helen looked a trifle ashamed at her brother's accusation, but Mrs. Hooper said nothing, as she wiped off the top of the stove, but smiled sympathetically at Helen's Idea of enhancing the value of her clothes'ln the eyes of the other girls. “Well, I Just don't say anything,” she finally answered to Roger's taunt. “I keep still and let them think they are ‘bought’ clothes.” “Well, you must have felt pretty cheap the other day when the dancing teacher. Miss Morris, sai l 'Bought, nothing,’ when Julia Smith asked you when mother had bought your party dress ” "f know,” confessed Helen, “she said It was too pretty and different from any one's else dress to be Just bought." “I guess that will be enough talk about clothes," said father, laughing, as he appeared at thp kitchen door with Betty. "We are waiting for our dinner.” Before leaving the kitchen for the night Mrs. Hooper set a batch of old-fashioned buckwheat cakes to rise for breakfast. The menu for Wednesday Is: BREAKFAST.

"When you wish to dine say. ‘Be epread with something to eat,' and you will find food and plenty In less time than you say “(•rickety crick!’” And while the good cobbler was thanking him Puss strode away, and, goodness me. he went so fast in those seven-league boots of hts that before the cobbler had said one word he was out of the village anil far away.

HOROSCOPE “The stars Incline, but do not compel!” WEDNESDAY. APRIL 13. Although the Sun is In beneflc aspect early in the morning, according to astrology, sinister stars rule later, for Neptune, Mars and Mercury are all adverse. It is a sway in which to seek positions or appointments, if there is no clement of uncertainty concerning qualifications. Otherwise waiting will be profitable, since Neptune is In an asfjeet that encourages captious criticism. Persons whose blrthdate It is should avoid new enterprises and should not go to law on any question. Those who are employes should have a prosperous year. Children born on this day should not attempt business on their own account as they are likely to be too artistic to succeed. These subjects of Aries usual# are very talented. INCOME TAX QUESTION.

KELLY IS NO LONGER BOBBY, CAUSE HE IS CLARENCE Ruth Roye Blues the Blues—Musical Sawmill on View—Expert Shooting Revealed '

Welcome home! That seemed to be the message In the applause of a magnificent audience at English’s last night which greeted Gregory Kelly, his wife and other members of his company In "Clarence.” “I don’t know what you people out there think about, it.” said Mr. Kelly In answer to the applause at the close of the third act, "but we back hero think this is the greatest eveutJa history since the French revolution.” That was all Gregory Kellly said to the big audience as he stepped for a brief second out of the character of Clarence, the soldier hero beetle- expert of Booth Tarkington’s master comedy. Indianapolis for a long time has wanted to claim Gregory Kelly as a citizen and hundreds of real Indianapolis people were on hand to welcome the Kellys back home. For several seasons, Kelly has been ®ilssing from the summer stage in this city, but now the curtain is up on the first season of the Gregory Kelly stock company lit English's. Three things were apparent last night at English's: First —That Mr. Kelly has surrounded himself with a oapable and sincere company of players of much experience. Second—That Mr. Kelly is determined to give us worth while entertainment this summer. Third —That Mr. Kelly’s production would put to shame seme of the road companies seen on tour In the last three years. A stock company must have a cast. Some plays do not give all players a fair chance to show their ability, but "Clarence” comes pretty near it. Mr. Kelly has surrendered the spnts and eane of Bobby Wheeler to take the title role. The American public loved Gregory as Bobby Whoeler as much ns they worship*-*, laughed and even sympathised with him when he was Willie Baxter In "Seventeen.” . Mr. Kelly gave a polished performance of Clarence and he showed he could play scenes with feeling and with restraint and sincerity, but I am sure that no one was willing to give up the delightful memory of Gregory as Bobby Wheeler. Personally, I think Bobby Wheeler is the most Important role of the comedy with tho exception of the Cora role.

To me the big triumph of the opening performance went to ltuth Gordon as Cora Wheeler. 1 have always thought that Ruth Gordon's work as the fickle, chattering and love at-first-slght demonstrator and champion sl-ter of the age. Is one of the finest characterizations’ before the public today. What more can I say? That covers everything. It Is needless to discuss tho work of Byron Beasley as Mr. Wheeler. He is a sterling and an Intelligent actor. Now for the new ones. It Is necessary that 1 base my opinion of personal values on the work done last night by other members of the company. It seemed to me that Angela, .ugden as Mrs. Wheeler came nearer making tho big triumph of the evening among the new ones of the company. I consider Air. Kelly, Ruth Gordon and Mr. Beasley ns fixed and standard values of long standing. It is going to be immense to sco .Vllss Ogden In the many other roles during the summer. She bring* a masterful touch to all scenes. Percy Helton buckled down to the Bobby Wheeler role—the character which Mr. Kelly re endeared himself to America—with a fine comedy spirit which aided In tho genera! satisfactory Impression. It was a big task, Mr. Helton, and you got sway with It In fine stylo. Vera Fuller Melllsh was bound to make an Interesting and competent Miss Pinner. She Is not only a good looking woman but a capable actress. Beulah Itondy was seen as Mrs Martin; Florence Aturphv as Delia: Harry Sothern ns Dinwiddle and Willard Burton as Mr. Stem. All were satisfactory. The setting In * the first act. was adequate and the second set, which Is used for three acts, was a beauty. Opinion: Gregory Kelly Is offering a gold mine of real entertainment for the money. It Is bard to see how he can offer so much from a quarter up to a dollar for the bot seat*. It’s a bargain in real entertainment values. Again, we say to Mr. Kelly—Welcome home. "Clarence" remains the bill for the balance of the week at English's—W. 1). IL -I- -!- -IRFTH ROVE IS EASY WINNER THIS YVll.lv AT H. F. KEITH'S. It Is easy to pick the w Inn. r at Keith's this week.

Iler name Is Ruth Roye. No one presses this girl for honors at Keith’s this week. Miss Rove Is one of the very few singers of Jazz and the blues who can raise this type of noisa out of the tin pan class and give it life, even melody and a swinging charm. To my mind, Miss Roye Is the Tuckers, th. Samnels, the Tunguays all rolled up In one bundle of winning personality. This little woman certainly can wake up an audience. she comes bounding on the stage and she looks like she Is happy “to be there. She made her first big home : run of yesterday when she sang about a | million boys whom she could love. She then slipped into an oriental number lu which shn told the inside history of a maiden who nearly stands still when she dances. Os course the audience forced her to slug “The Robert E. Lee” and the victory belonged to this llttlo singer who knows how to put. n soiil into the blues. A nice victory. Miss Roye. ! Galeiti's baboons again do the famous barher shop scene. Two of the original inhabitants even play “The Suwannee River” on the bells. This act is and always has been a good act. | Personally Ido not think that the majority of the remaining acts on the bill measure up with the wonderful standard of the lust four bills offered at Keith's. This view of the current bill is due because most of the acts run to the “nut" variety. The bill has too much of this sort of stuff. Fenian and Fields offer this line of entertainment. Homer B. Mason and Marguerite Keeler present a general tnlxup of foolishness la “Oh!” Fred Wayne and Loretto Marshall In “The Intruder,” start their contribution in the audience, then taking it to the stage and ending up in the audience. Songs and dances well done aro offered by Johnny Muldoon, Pearl Franklin and Low Rose. The acts gets away from the extreme nonsenee of some of the other acts. Dave Roth plays a violin which is made out of a cigar box. The Dare brothers, athletes, open the show. Am sure you will like Miss Roye. W. D. 11.

MUSICAL SAWMIEI. NOW AT THE LYRIC. A musical sawmill is a feature at the Lyric Theater this week, it has a large and spectacular part in the act known as “Fantasies of Jewels.” Besides the sawmill, which gives out sparks and music at the same time, there are a number of novel musical instruments that are original In their conception. The act Is in- , terspersed with electrical effects, which | make it unusual of its' kind. The hill is well and is unusually good. Larimer and Carbery are novelty dancers, who go in for some odd effects and queer costumes. Sid Lewis raves through his ten minutes with the help of “plants” in the audience. Part of bis act is in the aisles and he leaves the theater at the end. Marlen and Rex do comedy acrobatic stunts, which are frankly foolish. Moore and North engage in an abundance of “nut” conversation. The Dodge Comedy Four render barber shop chords and there is some fast stepping in the playlet, “The Bra- j zilian Heiress.” F Fox film farce, a magazine and a ; Pathe review complete the program.

CORA’S ‘DAD 9 AIR. BYRON BEASLEY. When the Kelly Stock Company opened its season at English’s last night, Mr. Beasley, a splendid actor, again appeared as Mr. Wheeler, tho father of Bobby and Cora, In Booth Turkington's "Clarence.” Mr. Beasley played the same role for several seasons in tho "Clarence” company which opened In Chicago and then went on its record breaking tour of the West and tho Middle We-1- Mr. Beasley Is now one of us—a citizen of Indianapolis at least far the summer.

HOW CAN A MAID BE WON? THEN IS EE "THE BKITE MASTER." "Y'ou are mine, I have fought for and won you by all the savage laws," sain tI.V “brute master” to tho glr] whose life ho bus saved and whom he loves. But, whether fair maid may he won by brute strength alone Is tho problem that he faces, and around such a situation Is tie film play, “The Brute Master” being featured at the I<oews State this week with Hobart Bosworth in tUfe title rolo and Anna Nilsson as the gentft bred young English girl thrown on big mercies. The "brute master" 1s the skipper on a schooner which plys between San Francisco and tho South Sea Islands. The English girl and her swieetheart are forced to take passage on his ship which does not carry passengers aa a rule. There Is a fire and a shipwreck, a desert Island with waving palm and a tribe nr natives. The civilized man can not stand the strain of the life and turns yellow, which brings on one thrill after another. In which the "brute master” shows himself a real man capable of tenderness in spite of his savage strength. * As to the vaudeville, colorful scenic effects, clever costuming and dainty dnneing make the act hilled as "Dance Originalities” one of the best seen hero this s*-a-on. The remainder of the bill Includes Wells, Virginia and West In songs anil dances: "Townsend Wilbur and company in a one act comedy "A Smart Aleck”; Ethel Levy Trio and Wanda aud seals, showing what even a barking senl can be trained to do. -I- -IWIDE VARIETY QF ACTS OFFERED AT BROADWAY.

One uses the rifle in shooting small disks from the fingers of another. Snuffing small candles and shooting the fire from a cigarette held In the mouth draws much applause.
