Daily Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. _ (Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan Pa.vne Cos. Advertising offices ( New \ orkf Boston, Payne, Burns & Smith, Inc. MR. HARDING’S requests of Congress are not exactly modest in their scope! x # - -■■■ NO ONE will blame Senator New for playing safe in view of the nature of the struggle in local G. O. P. politics! CONTRIBUTORS to the Indianapolis Humane Society are now beginning to wonder just what the objects of the society are! TWO SILENT traffic policemen doubtless would scream with resentment if they could since being unceremoniously bumped off the streets. “ONE MAN” is as good as another when it comes to drawing pay from the county, according tq the system under which Auditor Fesler and Assessor Jefferson work! WE TRUST that Mr. Howe, in assuring the people of a desire to be on the job as mayor “twenty-four hours in the day,” meant no criticism of Mayor Jewett’s methods! Conditions Change The ouster of George C. Hitt, business director of the public schools, marks not only the collapse of a year’s campaign conducted by two newspapers for his retention, but it also marks the removal from a very undesirable domination of one branch of our government. Today, the schools of Indianapolis are no longer fettered by the obstructing influences that have recently endeavored to make it appear that the present condition of the school* is "humorous.” Today, there is little prospect of the influences that regard the improper housing of 12,000 school children and the failure to house 2,000 children as "humorous ’ being able to block or interfere with the erection of proper school buildings. Today the school director whose methods and general inefficiency have resulted in the loss of more than enough money to build a high school, has been separated from the position in which he did more to serve a newspaper than to serve the people who were compelled to pay his salary. Today, a young, aggressive and capable businfess director takes over a task made most difficult by years of neglect and inefficiency. Ralph Douglass, the new business director of the schools, is a relative by marriage of a school commissioner. He became associated with tl-e sqhools before the commissioner to whom he is related by marriage took office. He is a former employe of the Indianapolis News and it is only fair to the public to let it be known that when he quit the employ of the News none other than Richard Smith paid him the . ompliment cf declaring him the most efficient of any one on Its staff and assured him that there was always a place on the News staff open for him if he derired it The retiring director. Mr. George C. Hitt, if a gentleman of the highest jppe. During the years he has been employed by the school board he has demonstrated an utter lack of fitness for the position and a complete failure to grasp the requirements made of him. His integrity is not to lie impugned, nor is his failure as a business director to be regarded as due to anything eise than lack of fitness. When Hilton U. Brown offered the position of business director of the schools to Merle Sidener. before Hitt was selected for the place, he disclosed the ’type of a man required for the position. When Hitt was finally selected for the place a mistake wa made. } it is unfortunate that the mistake was not rectified long ago, but such bodies as the school board move slowly and the delay in the selection of a proper type of director may well be forgotten In satisfaction over the selection of Mr. Douglass. * The long drawn out controversy over this position which is now drawing to a do*© has not been without its benefits even though it ha3 tend 'd to shake public confidence in the manage- sent of the schools. It has resulted in a demonstration that the people of Indianapolis cannot always be controlled by the influence of a group of selfish men intent on ruling or ruining. . Other branches of our government also will eventually be taken out \com under the control of this pernicious influence.

No Comparison Some proponent of the ‘'science” of vivisection, who lacks the courage to sign his came to his communication, has called the attention of the Times to an editorial in the Saturday Evening Post treating of the accomplishments of Dr. Jay Frank Schamberg, Dr. John A. Kolmer and Prof. George W. Raiziss with the statement that "it may be of interest to you to know that the results of these men’s work were obtained in animal experimentation.” The Times is somewhat familiar with the accomplishments and the methods of these scientists, perhaps more so than the unknown person who calls attention to them, and we can conceive of no other reason for this carefully guarded communication than a desira on the part of its writer to have the mistreatment of dogs at the Indiana University School of Medicine regarded in the same light as the work of these three scientists for humanity. This newspaper has no quarrel with scientists who are really Intent on the accomplishment of a worthy object and find it necessary to conduct I painless experiments on animals in order to reach that object. It cannot, however, regard the wholesale butchery of pet dogs at the medical college in the same light as the animal experimentation conducted ! by these eminent men. Dr. John A. Kolmer was never a party to inducing a Juvenile delinquent to gather up pet dogs for his laboratory. Dr. Jay Frank Schamberg never refused the loser of a pet dog the opportunity to look through his kennel in the hopes of saving a valued - animal friend from death. Prof. George W. Raiziss of the University of Pennsylvania never got “scared” because of thj activities of a negro who was stealing pets for the use of his university. Theso men, eminent in science, yet humane in their dealings, were not afraid to face the world and Justify their treatment of dumb animals. They did not depend on their “pull” with another doctor to prevent the law from investigating their affairs. They did not depend on the connection of one of them with the city administration to avoid the enforce- ’ ment of the municipal code as it pertains to the dogs they held Nor did they ever claim the right to cut and kill dogs regardless of law, regulation or decency, in order that their students "might become accustomed to the sight of blood.” Regretfully, we must declare that there Is Just about as much comparison between the scientific research of these men and the practices of the I Indiana University School of Medicine as was between the occupation or the Rhine by Americans and the occupation of Belgium by the buns, all of . whom do not appear to reside in Europe. *Get a Receipt 9 “Get a receipt,” is the slogan of the National Cash Register Company, which was visited by Indianapolis business men this week. And "get a receipt” seems to have been ,the slogan adopted by the citizens of Dayton when they determined on the commission-manager form of government. Under It, Dayton is getting a receipt for every dollar of money it pays in taxes. The cost of government is not low, because Day- ; ton is not niggardly with its purchases. The best of everything is demanded by the municipality and there is little objection from the taxpayers to the collection of taxes that they know will be properly expended. Indianapolis citizens, now engaged in a political primary that at best offers them little hope of change from the methods of political waste, could not help being impressed by the Dayton system of government, and they could not help realizing that they have failed, in the years that have passed, to give to their municipal government the attention that their best 4 interests demand. . There was a sentiment implanted by this visit to Dayton in the minds of fcdianapolis business men which may crystalized into a demand for 'otter government before another city acvninistration passes.

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

CHAPTER CLXXXVI. Three hours of sleep, a bath, a shave and a breakfast, consisting chiefly of black coffee, sent Jim off to business on our first morning at the Walgrave, with at least a veneer of efficiency. The events of the evening before were over and done with, as far as he was concerned, and his attention was focused on tho day ahead. But that night seemed to spread its shadow over my whole day. I snapped at Neal when he phoned, as he had promised, but refused to meet me or to give me his address. The effects of snapping were plain when Neal cried: "Look here, Babbs—if you're going to nag, I won't phone you at all!’’ Then he rang off, and I was left to wonder If I must pursue Evvy again in order to get some word of my brother. Later in the morning, when Virginia went with me to Tom Mason's studio to select the furnishings for our new apartment, I forgot to thank him for the red roses that had greeted us at the Walgrave. When Virginia was across the studio studying some Egyptian lamps, he whispered meaningly: “You got my roses?" "I got them,” I said, coldly. “I understand your not mentioning them.” Tom glanced toward Virginia. "I wish I could make every place you go fragrant with roses”— "Stop!” 1 gasped. "Don’t! I shouldn't be here selecting our decorations except for James's faith in you. He's your friend. Remember that.” "And I am your friend. that. Don’t act as if it were a crime for a man to want to serve you. I didn't ehooKe to—like you. I just happen to whether I choose or not. And 1 can no more help longing to see you happy than I can help lovi.tg the sunshine and blue sky. There isn't much happiness in the world, but I’d like to buy It all and give It to you, Donna Anna.” Again there were words on my lips I was on the verge of repeating 1 the words I had said that night in China town: "You are a cad, and X know it now—know it for ail time.” But Virginia's return stopped me, and afterwards I was glad that I had not snapped at Toni Mason also in in.v tlrvdne-s awHhened dread of Jim's gambling. Half-heartedly I listened While Tom and Virginia discussed the rival merits of English and Italian period furniture. I <yJn't cure what went Into my home, so only I got out of Tom Mason's studio.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day probb ms of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. ifooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally iti an Interesting review of their home life find le.-rn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) WEDNESDAY. The stack of mending piled up as Mrs. Hooper fli.lshed the ironing, and she stretched a sigh of relief that this would be the lest time that the special garments would have to he reinforced for use. The underclothes would Just nhout lust in presentable shape until the warm | weather set in, and a whole new supply j would have to bo laid in for next wln- | ter for every member of the family. ; Mrs. Hooper often speculated on the | mystery as to why everything seemed to ! wear out together. Roger was very hard i on his clothes, as be was a vigorous, j athletic youth. And while he had been ' taught to keep them neat and welli brushed, and generally in order, bis socks and underclothes were always in a ! deplorable condition; rips and holes 1 made thslr apparance almost daily, in ' spite of the fact that Mrs. Hooper pr- --! sisted In using only the best materials. ! Hhe hurried through luncheon, and leaving Betty with her mother, prepared ito spend the entiro afternoon in sbopI ping and marketing. i The marketing was disposed of ns ! soon as possible and included her gro- ! eery supplies of sugar, tea, Coffee, prunes I and two kinds of cereal, besides her fish I and meat, eggs, butter, fruit and vegetables. BJie found rhubarb in the market, but it still seemed a little expensive, so she decided to defer its introduction to j the breakfast table for another week or PUSS IN BOOTS JR. j i ~ By David Cory. | One day as Puss was traveling j through a shady wood a little old man \ said to him, “Take this twig, and if | ever you are hungry, plant it in the | earth,” and then the little man d!sapj peared. Maybe he Jumped Into a hollow i stump or perhsps into a cave, where 1 so many of these queer little men of the I wood have their homes. Well, anyway, ! Puss placed the twig In his pocket and j went on, and by and by it grew late in I the day, and Puss became hungry, but there was no house In sight. J And then the great rouud sun hid lt- ! self behind the hill and it got darker and darker until Puss almost lost his j way, and maybe he would have if, all of : a sudden, a little light bad not gllm- | mered in the distance. So Puss hurried on, and by and by, after r while, he came to a small cottage. So he tapped | on the door, and, after a few minutes, it | was opened by a young girl. "What is it you wish?” she asked, but she didn't open thp door very wide, for i at first sight she. thought it might be a robber who bad knocked, but when she saw Puss Junior with his red top boots she smiled and asked him in. "I am very sad to say that I have nothing to eat," she said after Puss had hung up his hat on a wooden peg behind the door. Mother has gone to town to work, and father has gone to the war, and n little mouse ate up the last crust of bread only last night." And then Puss suddenly thought of the twig which the llttln man of the wood had given him, so ho took it out of his i pocket. "I have hero a magic twig. Show me where I may plant it,” ho said to the girl, so she led him out of doors. And ■ I then Puss made a small hole In tho ! ground and placed the twig in It. And would you believe it? In a few minutes it grew into a wonderful tree, and from Its branches hung all kinds of little cakes And some had frosting on, which nt first Puss thought was the moonlight, but as soon as he tasted it he knew it was frosting. Oh, my, yes! "Let me get a \:isket,” said the girl, and she ran Into (ho cottage and brought out a basket and then she and Puss filled it with cakes and took it inside, and very soon they both weren't the least bit hungry, which wasn’t strange at all. If you had looked Into the basket, for there was only two little cakes left. "Now let me make you a little J>ed In this big chair,” said the girl, and then she placed a soft cushion on the seat and lifted Puss up and placed him on it. And after that she went to her room, and while they were both asleep the Twinkle, Twinkle Star shone down on the little cottage and sang this son};: The little cake tree grows In the yard, Under the silver moon. And the frosted cakes when the little tree shakes Jingle a silvery tune.” And In the next story you shall see what Puss did when he woke up in the morning.—Copyright, 1021. \ (To be continued.!

Tills wasn't ‘net building.’ Jim ought to be with me. “All right. We’ll do the walls In biscuit, and have biscuit or block carpets and the sitting room in orchid and Nile and my room in lavender and the dining room in brown and gold—but l can’t work out the details today. I have to got over to tho apartment,” I cried at last. Then I rushed out to the apartment, where Mrs. O’Callaghan was deep in her cleaning. And I began unpacking the trunks and boxes we had brought with ns from Tom Mason's studio. My mind was in a turmoil. “I’ll only see him whan I absolutely can’t help it.” I told myself emphatically. “He bothers me. Well get the house done and then I'll cut myself off from him. Thank goodness we aren't living in his apartment any more—and I don't have to be haunted by him and that blue robe of his all the time.” I lifted the top tray off an old packing trunk. There—wlnglug up at me maliciously, lay the robe. ItK blues and grays shimmered and ! shone. And for the first time, there In Hie garish daylight of our many-win-dowed, uncurtained living room, high up over the road, I noticed that as those blues and greens melted into each other they traced a faint pattern like peacock feathers. "Bad luck:” I cried, and shivered a bit. “Oh, Jim—. Tim, how could you pack this np and bring It along? How could you ?" Then our untried phone rang for the first time. I rushed over and lifted it from the floor. "Hello—that you, Anne?” .Tim’s voice i was irritable and weary. “I’m in the deuce of a hurry. Cosby Just phoned i from the station, from where he's dashing up-State, that his wife telegraphed she'd arrived tomorrow afternoon. He j wants to give her a little welcome home , dance at Carlier’s—fancy dress—swell, j Get ’em to turn the place loose for SatI unlay night. Expanse no object. Cosby's | given me a list of the people he wants j her to meet, so I'll bring home the invitations tonight and we'll fill In the | names * | Instinctively, the moment Jim rang off j I hurried to the big packing trunk, lifted -out the blue robe and let its shitnmeriug length fall across my throat and arms to the floor. 1 had meant to leave the robe behind us, but Jim had brought It along. Why shouldn't T wear it to Yalerle Cosby's dance?—Copyright, 1921. (To be Continued.)

two. Th* greater part of the afternoon wn spent in the department store, where she always did most of her shopping, and the result of her labors were materia! for four dresses and a lightweight coat for Helen, with the trimmings and necessary lining*. Three of the dresses were designed for school and the fourth would be for church and the few occasions that she went away from home or to entertainments. Two new hats, shoes, stocking*, and some new underwear would complete the list of Helen a things for the senson. Her summer shoes had been bought at a sale earlier in the season, and Borne remnants of muslin purchased nt the bargain counter would finish the material for the /itnple undergarments that Mrs. Hooper always made herself. "I'm Just dylnl to see the cloth for rny new dress,” said Helen a* she handed her mother a cop of lea. Mrs. Hooper ! had come in tirod from her afternoon of shopping and hod stopped for her tea in the living room, without even going upstairs to take off her hat. "We will look at them later, dear,” said Mrs. Hooper, as she finished her tea hastily, because the hour for preparing dinner was approaching. "I'll cut the first one out f.s soon as possible and finish th.m nil up tn the next week or twe I found n pretty tan ehambray that 1 know you wiU like much better than orange color when you sec It.” “Well, I di ! want an orange one," satd Helen, a little dlsapointedly, “but perhaps you can put an orange sash or belt on something.” Before she sat down for her evening’s .mending Mrs. Hooper wrote out on one of her index cards thp rolpe for brown brend that she had promised Mrs. Camp bell for the recipe cord index that she had begun to keep in a cardboard box, like the one Mr*. Hooper had on hot kitchen shelf The brown bread recipe culled for the mixing together of one cupful each of rye, corn men! and graham flour, with one teasnoonful of salt, three quarters of a cupful of molasses and two cupfuls of sour milk, into which is stirred one tenspoonful of soda. Turn into small molds and stestn from one to two hours, according to the size of the mold. After taking out of the steamer dry off slightly in the oven.

HOROSCOPE | "The stars incline, but do not compel!” THURSDAY, APRIL 14. This is one of the most favorable of days, since many friendly stars rule, according to astrology. Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune aud Mnra are all In boitpflr asppct. ■c During this planetary rnle there should be a decided Impetus given all sorts of work, whether with hands or with brains. Unrest among people will be manifested more and more as the Rtitnmer advances. Warning is given by the s. era that much dangerous propaganda will be circulated. Persons whose blrthdate It is have the augury of a happy year tn which money and business will Increase. Travel and change that will bring great success are foretold. The young will court and marry. Children born on this day will be talented, in all probability, energetic and clever In business. These subjects of Arles are usually very fortunate.—Copyright, 1921. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. Q.

EARTH’S WINDIEST PLACE. Q. Where surface of the earth does the wind blow hardest? A. H. T. A. The Weather Bureau says so far as observations show, the Antarctic continent seems to be the windiest place on earth. During the two years' residence in Adelie Land of Sir Douglas Mawson and his expedition, the explorer tells of terrible blizzards. The average wind velocity for March, 1912, was 49 miles; April, 51.3 miles; May, 60.7 miles; July, 1913. 63.6 miles. On the 6th and 6th of January, 1913, the wind for eight hours maintained an average verity of 107 miles on hour, probably the Bghest sustained velocity ever reported.

Is meeting with some degree of opposition, particularly from posts of the American Legion. The bureau's ruling is bnsed on the resolution passed by the Inst Congress, declaring that for the purpose of certain war-time legislation, the war with Germany was to be considered at an end.
