Inc. f ’ " ■ ■■ - "■ ■■ — 1 REMEMBER that Indianapolis expects you to do your bit toward filling the community chest! THAT spontaneous collection at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle Sunday proves that Indianapolis “has a heart.” MUNCIE comes in for its share of the notoriety attached to the report of the Federal grand jury, as usuaL TO WHOM will the Chamber of Commerce award a certificate of “distinguished achievement” after the primaries? UNCLE SAM Is preparing to protect the malls. As usual preparedness was not noticeable when trouble arrived. IT IS FINE WEATHER for the schoolboys to stage a strike, as they have at Muncie, but it is not difficult to see who is going to lose! MR. PERKINS always was an optimist and his excursions into the dreamland that makes him mayor prove that he has not changed recently. REWARDS for the detection of primary corruption promise to reach an aggregate where they -will be a greater temptation than a city Job after while! HOGS reached the lowest price level that has obtained in Indianapolis in four years yesterday, yet there are some people who do not sympathize with the farmer! What the Primary Means Contrary to what might be the impression created in the last two weeks by the very entertaining campaigns conducted by three Republican aspirants for mayor, the points at issue in this primary are not Lew Shank’s educated horse, or Ed Robison's business ventures, or yet Mr. Thomas C. Howe’s party regularity. In reality the struggle is to establish the supremacy of one of the various factions in the Republican party and the primary results will establish only whether or not there exists in the Republican party a sufficiently powerful progressive element to compel that party to go forwardMr. Howe, according to Mayor Jewett, who Is his principal supporter, was "selected for mayor by thirty-five Republicans.” Mr. Robison entered the race, according to Caleb S. Denny, "courageously and honorably.” Mr. Shank has been In the race for more than four years, or even before he was defrauded of the nomination by Mr. Jewett's supporters. Mr. Howe alone Is indorsing the administration of Indianapolis under which we have lived for nearly three years. He is making no promise of deviation from Its policies, in fact, he Is pledged to continue the government of Indianapolis in exactly the same way that Mr. Jewett has conducted it and Is promising to conduct It for the rest of his term. Mr. Robison promises some changes. He has declared himself In favor of scrapping the asphalt and the ash collection machinery of the present administration on the theory that it is impossible to operate it economically because of the political advantages it offers, and he also promises a fight to compel the Citizens Gas Company to provide gas in accordance -with Its contract with IndianapolisMr. Shank promises no radical changes in the method of government, but declares himself for the elimination of that part of our present administration which is maintained more for political power than public service. In effect, the three candidates have been presented to the voters in this manner: 1. Mr. Howe for a continuation of the Jewett administration. 2. Mr. Robison for radical departures from that part of the system of the present administration that has collapsed. 3. Mr. Shank for a retention of the same system of administration but reformation in the methods of applying the system. The election of either Mr. Shank or Mr. Robison would bring to the citizens of Indianapolis a departure from Jewettism, the election of Mr. ’ Howe, a four-year continuation of itThe nomination of Mr. Howe means the keeping intact of a tremendous ; political machine for the avowed purpose of continuing Harry S. New in the senatorship, replacing Merrill Moores with Charles W. Jfewett as conI gressman and eliminating Senator James E. Watson from any voice in the . affairs of Seventh district Republicans. ‘ The nomination of Mr. Robison means the partial overthrow of the • organization which Is opposed to Merrill Moores and the establishment of a political machine in Indianapolis with which New, ex-Senator Watson and ’ all other Republicans will have to treat • The nomination of Mr. Shank means the complete overthrow of all the la % I -machine organization in Indianapolis and opens the way for the building . of anew political organization around new leaders. Only through the defeat of the Howe organization at this primary can ■ the supporters of Albert J. Beveridge for United States Senator hope to prevent Harry New from carrying Marion County in the primary of next ; year. Only through the defeat of the Howe organization can any candidate J , for Congress, or a county office hcpe to the News-Jewett control Jof further nominations. • Politically speaking, the Republicans of Indianapolis will either surrender all voice in the affairs of their party to the “thirty-five” men who j Ejected Mr. Howe for them to nominate for mayor, or they will disrupt forever the control of the Republican party by a newspaper at tho polls next ' Tuesday.

For a Clean Primary An evidence of the awakening of a healthv civic conscience is the •i notv being paid by reputable citizens of Indianapolis to the elimi- - nation of corruption from the city primaries next week. • It shows that even in the heat of a political fight as bitter as this one ihas become, there are good citizens who have not lost sight of the fact ’that only through a real expression of the preferences of the electorate •can the government be properly maintained. • Indianapolis has an uneviable record of indifference to pure primaries [to be overcomo. As Mr. Bookwalter says, every primary since and Including that of 1912 has been corrupted. The degree of corruption has J varied each year, but there has always been sufficient crooked work done [to shake the faith of the average citizen in the value of the primary as a [method of selecting officials. [ To no small extent the primary system is on trial this campaign. [lt has been assailed as a failure and is warmly defended by no less prominent a man than Albert J. Beveridge, whose leadership of progressive Republicans has compelled admiration. [ Mr. Beveridge and his associates cannot long hope to maintain the prl[maries in public favor if they are repeatedly to fail to reflect the will of [the electorate when they are corrupted. [ In the last week much has been said of preliminary plans for primary [crookedness. These plans do exist and there is much basis for the assertion that the city primary will be manipulated. [ It cannot, however, be manipulated, if* the citizens of Indianapolis will [exercise their power as citizens to prevent it. We have the laws and the [machinery necessary to insure an honest count of the ballots cast at the primaries next Tuesday. I We also appear to have men, such as Charles Hutchinson, to whom [an honest election is dear enough to cause them to take active steps to [bring it about. • Every citizen can do his part to the consummation of this end. For the purpose of ending for all time in this community, the activities •of those who would defame the city, bring the primary system into odium and deprive honest candidates of the opportunity to lay their candidacies before the public, we owe it to Indianapolis to see that the city primary [is not corrupted. And if each citizen will take his stand for decency now, there will be [p.o grounds for complaint of the and no more primary history that does not reflect credit on

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

CHAPTER CXCVII. After all, we might hare known we could count on Betty. When the doctor had removed the east and the arm had been bathed and massaged, he reached out to put It Into the soft swathing of bandages that was to protect It for a time. “Oh, first —let me comb my own hair Just once,” begged Betty. And quickly, before any one could stop her, she reached out toward the little dressing table so near where she sat. Iler arm obeyed her, lifted from the shoulder, and then fell—lmpotent of elbow, wrist and hand. She turned a white face toward the doctor. “It—won't—work!” gasped Betty. "Os course not, not just at first,” temporized Dr. Lucas, forgetting his cold Puritanism In the healer's desire to be merciful. But Betty was not to be put off. “Will It ever work?" she a^ked. “Perhaps—ls you help us—by believing and being cheerful.” Batty stared at her own hand, white, taper-fingered. Then ahe took It In the warmth of her left hand and lifted It and let It fall again. “Terry,” she asked, “l>ld yon know ?” “From the beginning,” be Med quickly and bravely. “You have one good chance dear, but with never a chance In the world, you’d always be my Betty.” Then Betty threw her head proudly and laughed a laugh as brave as Terry's lie: “Think of forcing an Englishman to say pretty things to his wife—publicly,” she said. “Well, If there's a chance I'm going to fight for It. Good old Tony—so that's why he's coming. Poor old Tony—be never hac, a chance! His hand —Juot —went—well, he shan't see me whimper. That would be asking hltn to bear too much.” That was how Betty took It—without a whimper. When Anthony Norreys came she was as brave and cheery as he had always been. I think I shall always renmmber the wours we four bad together—they were so sturdy and so ewoet. We had an early supper and when my train lime came Tony offered to take me to the station. “Oh, no, I'll take her," said Terry. “How silly—when Tony's car's right in front of the place,” laughed Betty. “And the bride wants her twilight hour

Ordinarily or<p counts on April being a sort of mid season month In which there need be no anxiety as to the warm weather making It neeessary to change Into summery things, but a most unusual season seemed to t-e approaching with an already warm snell that would not be Ignored. Henry and Roger had begun to complain of their underwear and demand a change Into lighter ones. "I nearly roasted yesterday, mother, announced Roger ft* the breakfast table. “You can Just wash those heavy underclothes of mine for the last time.” "Well," said Mrs. Hooper resignedly ns she poured the coffee, “you and your father can get Just about two week*’ wear out of those summer under lotlo-s I put away In the fall. I looked them over yesterday, but you both must have an entirely new outfit as soon ns 1 get Helen eb>t'hd. If this April weather had only behaved you might have gone directly Into the new ones ns I had planned.” “Well, the heat of yesterday may not last,” said Henry philosophically, "and I'm not In such a rush ns you are, Roger, to take a chanee on a cold by taking off my winter underwear too soon." "Is Helen still getting new clothes?" Inquired Roger. “She'll be too stylish for words 1 suppose when she has all those summer togs." “Stop teasing your sister about her wardrobe," warned Mrs Hooper. 'lll have her things all finished this week and then I'll begin on you ” "Why not yourself, mother dear," inquired Roger. "Not that you don't look perfectly grand In your old clothes —but you ought to have new ones first of all " "Old clothes," exclaimed Henry. In an amazed tone.

alone with the groom," suggested Tony. Os course at that I couldn’t protest. Even thought I knew .Tim would be absurd enough tf> object to Anthony, Norreys’ driving me down to the station, still the fact that Betty had not been allowed a second alone with her Terry since taking up her cross outweighed everything else. So there was a little breath-taking farewell, and then Tony drove mq down to Grey friars Station. And suddenly, as the car swung over the country roads, 1 remembered the overnight bag I had brought along—the tell-tale bag that I must retrieve from the check-room. 1 wondered how much it would tell Anthony Norreys of my original plans to remain with Betty—and my later determination to run away. Thiuking about Betty and Tony and tho way I had run away from him, kept my mind whirling all the way to the city. This was the night of our dinner and theater party, and I had forgotten all about it. Os course, I might still taxi to the Walgrave, dress and Join the party at the theater. But I was In no mood for that. - So once I arrived at our rooms, I flung off my clothes, had a hot bath and then —getting Into a negligee—carried out a soft down puff to the living room ana arranged myself on the big divan there. I'd rest until Jim returned. Far too excited to sleep, I lay on the couch mulling over the events of the day. The outstanding thing to my way of thinking was this: Terry had understood my keeping him in the dark about Betty's probable fate, but at her question he had plunged in with the assurance that he'd known from the first. I felt it was right for him to do that. Did he feel equally satisfied about the righteousness of what 1 had done? I couldn’t answer that. And failing to answer it, I couldn’t find peace of mind. Deep down in my soul was the longing for Jim to help me—for Jim to stand by as i. ■ rightness of what I had done. In the midst of my squlrrel-in-a-cage reflections I heard Jim's key In the door. I leaped from the couch to greet him. He came In with an atr of great alertness, humming. At sight of me his face changed, darkened. “What the dickens are you doing here?” he asked. —Copyright, 11)21. (To Be Continued-)

Mrs. Hooper laughed merrily. “Yes, I did several things to It, Henry, and 1 think It looks very well. It will do splendidly until I get the rest of you clothed for the summer. Os course these lynx-eyed children know It Is an old dress, and Mrs. Briggs would be sure to recognize it, and Auntie Belle was furious about It, but otherwise I think I shall got by very nicely." "Well, you always look lovely anyhow, mother," concluded Roger contritely as he made ready to leave the breakfast tabie " bon Helen was leaving the house on an errand after tea Mrs Hooper sent the following recipe to Mrs. Campbell for her file: STIFFED BFEF HEART.

MAUD LAMBERT WINS AUDIENCE WITH MOTHER SONG Dance of the Dolls a Novelty— ‘Homespun Folks’ on View—Herron at Loew’s

It’s a mother song which endears Maud Lambert, who Is remembered as a musical comedy actress, to her vaudeville audiences this season. Os course, the song is by Ernest R. Ball, who wrote “Mother Machree.” The new mother song Is called “Mother of Pearl" and Is chucked full of sweet melody and charming lyrics. This number is done as an encore and is the best which Miss Lambert and Mr. Ball are offering this season. The audience yesterday afternoon at Keith's applauded Mr. Ball when he played such favorites of his own composition as “Mother Machree,” “Till the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold.” "Love Me and the World Is Mine,” “A Little Bit of Heaven” and others. The current bill at Keith’s has a solid hit in Solly Ward, Marion Murray and Jeanne Eliot in a French comedy affair, called “Babies." The sketch is one of those rapid little affairs which concerns a couple who quarrel night and day because the husband will flirt a wee bit. Probably a little more than a wee bit. The couple find happiness when they adopt a baby. The lines are bright and the situations at times are sparkling with humor. The acting Is by far the host exhibited in any sketch seen at Keith’s this season. There were many bows and even a curtain talk following this bright little affair. Another genuine treat Is the one man offering of Mr. Ilyinaok in “At Bogey Villa” in which an Invisible "spook” causes Mr. Hymac): to change hts wearing apparel many tin es In full view of the audience. This offering is a genuine treat because it is dlferent from anything on the vaudeville stage today. And stay for the closing act. Don't leave because yon will miss James Dutton, his two pretty assistants and two splendidly trained horses. To mis* this net is to pass np one of the real acts on the bill. Homer Romalne opens the bill In an aerial act. Plstel and Johnson follow the old time minstrel chatter. The Misses Dennis, three of them, ring songs of a refined nature. Eddie Buzzell and Toggy Parker are back in "A Will and a Way," In which they were seen last season if 1 am not mistaken. About time to get. new matorlal, Mr. Ruzzell. At Keith's all week.—W. D. 1L

CONCERNING "7 KEYS TO BALDPATE.” The producer runs across many tricks in attempting to stage the comedy, "Seven Keys To Baldpate." This comedy Is something more than characters and situations as some of the most Important parts are stage “business." It Is this "business" which or breaks a performance of this comedy. Last night the Gregory Kelly Stock Company opened the third week of the season at English's, with “Seven Key* to Baldpate." In the first place, Mr. Kelly has given the production splendid scenic equipment. Asa matter of fact, it Is one of the heaviest sets I have ever seen a stock company use. The set must be heavy because the whole cast Is compelled to run up and down stairs to rooms leading off of a balcony on the second floor. Most of the action Is obtained by the characters changing rooms and placing a key In the front door. The Kellly players hsd aom* dlfflcnlty with the “business” In the first act, but after the play got under way It moved with aplendld speed. Last night the opening score was played too slowly, but no doubt Mr. Kelly will have this corrected. This comedy mnat have speed and when the actors get Into their role* a llttlo more this will correct Itself. Miss Ruth Go-don. Angela Ogden and Byron Beasley had the needed speed from the first, but the others did not speed np as the action demands This of course can be corrected with very little effort. The revolver should have more “deadly" significance than given It last night In the Mg scene. There Is only ono way to handle a revolver and that Is to point It directly at tho fellow who Is ordered to do something. This effect should be corrected and probably will because some realism 1s wasted. I am sure that all of thesa "business” defects which means so much, as the handling of the revolver, tho speed and proper handling of the lights In the last five minutes of the play, will be corrected by the energetic Mr. Kelly before the curtain rises tonight. Tho company as a whole gives a verv creditable performance and the laughs of tho comedy were put across in good shape. Mr. Kelly plays the role of Magee, the novelist, who makes a bet he can write a complete novel within twenty four hours Miss Ruth Gordon hasn't so much to do, but the little she ts called upon to do Is done with fine skill, Angela Ogden graaps the needed speed from the first. Her work Is more than adequate. It Is satisfactory. The Mar triumph of the evening was the work of Byron Beasley as Peter, the hermit of Baldpate. His work was flnlshod, full of speed, and every word he said could be heard. Vera Fuller Melllsh as the blackmailer had some choice lines and she put them over with the required dry humor. The numerous other key owners to Baldpate Inn, and those who accom pnuled them were taken by Owen Meech, Howard Hill, l’arcy Helton, Willard Barton. Harry Sothern, Harry AVagstaff Grlbble, Eugene Stockdale and Florence Murphy. Indianapolis Is very fond of “Seven Keys to Baldpate" and many of the players are receiving applause on their first entrances now. This is a good sign that the players are getting along famously. The advance sale for this comedy indicates that "Seven Keys" will play to the banner business of the Kelly season so far. It Is a real American comedy. At English's all week. W. D. H. -I- -I- -IF RAN It AND MAZIE IIFGTIES DANCE A FRENCH DOLL DANCE. It is not difficult to pick the act of charm and merit on the current bill at the Lyric. The dances of Frank and Mazle Hughes loom up like a flro tn the night. These two dancers, with the aid of a pianist, have an act of undisputed charm and refinement. The most interesting number is a French doll dance in which the two dancers appear ns automatic dolls. Theso dancers are able to present this dance with delicate charm. The act ends with some modern and speedy stepping. The pianist, whoso name I do not know, Is above the average heard In popular vaudeville. The act is tastefully staged. “The Dream Girl” is an excuse for Introducing a female singer, four male singers and a scenic closing effect. The act closes v Ith the dream girl appearing over a fountain of running water. Shaw and Glass have some "nut” conversation about the mosquito trust. Ono of the men of the team has a good singing voice. G. Swayne Gordon and company offer a sketch under tho title of “Off With tho Old Love,” In which some of the situations are rather broad and overdrawn. A comedy souse gets the few laughs in the sketch. The bill includes the Panzlor Duo; Adler and Clark, Ahern and Peterson and J. Lani Pa's Hawaiian*. The film part of the bill is devoted to a Fox farce, called “The Big Secret.” At the Lyric all week.— -W.

The story centers around the son of a farmer, who insists on reading law ; books while he Is milking the cows. His | father does not like Blackstone and milk mixed so he informs his son to shake the dust and the real estate rrom his shoes and shift for himself. The son packs up his books and goes to the county seat. Later he becomes prosecuting attorney and his big case is to convict the editor of the county daily on a murder charge. The young prosecuting attorney puts up such a good argument for the defense that the Judge dismisses the case. Then the citizens decide to tar and feather the young prosecuting attorney.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory.

| “Would you like to land on the Island?” asked the sailor who didn't seem greatly * surprised at seeing such a wonderful sight as an island suddenly coming up out of the sea, as I mentioned In the story before this. Well, the old sailor steered his boat toward the green island, where Puss got out and, after saying good-by to his sailor friend, he set off to look for new adventures, and by and by, after a while, he came to a great wood, where the trees were as big around as a smokestack on an ocean liner. And then all of a sudden be heard the sound of a woodman's ax, and the crackling of the branches as they fell to the ground. “It must be some giant who Is cutting down such great trees as these,” thought , Puss, and he started off for the place where the sounds enme from, and by and 1 by, after a while, he saw a magic ax. chopping away all by itself at one of the tallest trees. "Good morning, Mistress Ax,” said Little Puss Junior. “Doesn't It tire you to be chopping away all alone there at that old tree?” “Indeed, It does, little Sir Cat. Put me in your knapsack and I will make ! you as famous as your father. Puss in Boots.” So Puss picked np the ax and placed It In his knapsack, and then off once more he started on his journey of adventure, and In the next story I'll tell you what happened to our brave little adventurer tomorrow. —Copyright, 1921.

BOYS WILL GET SOAKING WET Occasion, Free Swimming Lessons in ‘Y’ Pool Next Week j Although this is In no sense intended as a weather forecast, it is safe to assert that a whole lot of boys are going to get very wet next week. It may be reassuring to the parents to know, however, that the clothing of the boys will not be affected and that the boys will be entirely safe. In fact it is for their safety that the aforementioned wetting is planned, for It will be brought about through the free swimming lessons that will be given at the Y. M. C. A. for boys between 11 and 18 years of age. The free leßsons will begin Monday afternoon, May 2, and will continue during the week. The boys will not need to furnish any equipment—the Y. M. C. A. will furnish all that is needed. The lessons will be given each afternoon during the week, after school for. boys attending school and after work for those who are employed. "V About five hundred are expected to be taught swimming during the week. The first of these free swimming lessons were given by the Y. M. C. A. eight years ago, through the cooperation of the circulation managers of the Indianapolis daily newspapers, who rounded up their carriers. Since then it has grown to larger proportions, and in addition to the cooperation of the newspapers, an Invitation Is extended to all those dealing with boys of the proper age—such as scout masters, Sunday school teachers and school teachers, to have the boys report at the Y. M. C. A. next Monday. During the time that these free lessons have been given about 4,000 boys have been taught to swim. The lessons next week will be given by R. L. Konecke, physical director of tbe Y. M. C. A.; Regan Naney, his assistant, and a corps of volunteer Instructors. * TWO KILLED IN FIUME FIGHTING Disorders Follow Defeat of D’Annunzio Party.
