ANYHOW, the ladies are being treated to an Interesting campaign in celebration of their first vote at a city primary! ■■ - ■ - * HOW LONESOME Mr. Denny and Mr. Bookwalter and a few thousand Democrats must feel now that “the good people of the city ' are uniting to nominate Mr. Thomas C. Howe. Howe's Only Hope Assuming that the nomination of any other than their own choice for mayor means the plunging of Indianapolis into disgrace and worse, that all who oppose Mr. Thomas C. Howe for mayor are willing to “rain’' Indianapolis and that the most preposterous bits of falsehood may be successfully propagated in this primary, the News-Jqwett organization of officeholders and paid representatives has laid down its barrage against Edward J. Robison and Samuel Lewis Shank. The barrage seems to consist of two kinds of shells gas to smother Robison and high explosives for Shank. After having induced Mr. Howe into what was a primary race between Robison and Shank, the News-Jewett crowd is now desperately attempting to impugn to Robison an effort to nominate Shank by “dividing" the opposition to Shank which was aligned with Robison previously to the induction of Howe Realizing the impossibility of arousing sufficient suppor^for Mr. Howe because of his personality or qualifications, the News-Jewett workers are endeavoring to nominate him on the plea that it is a sorry necessity if Shank is to be defeated. They ignore the ever growing possibility of the election of a Democratic mayor and they whistle to sustain their faltering courage when they see the administration organization split wide open by deflections to both Robison and Jewett. In the course of their arguments against Robison and Shank they are resorting to all manner of untruths, half-truths and deliberate falsehoods. Appeals to sectionalism, race feeling and ail that is undesirable in a city are frequent and come forth without any apparent regard of the harm that is being done the community. Disregarding the fact that there has been in the last week a partial collapse of the administration machine which has placed heretofore powerful workers for Mr. Howe behind Robison as the only possible opponent of Shank, the Howe speakers continue to declare that Robison is out of the race. Disregarding the fact that the resignation of Shank as mayor did not take place until after the street car strike was over and normal car service resumed, the speakers for Mr. Howe are attributing that strike wholly to the resignation of Shank. Disregarding the very plain evidence that it is only the officeholding part of the Republican party that desires Mr. Howe, his speakers are desperately endeavoring to compel the party to accept him as its leader. Yet, it cannot be denied that a great part of the Republican party desires the nomination for mayor of Mr. Shank, that another great part of the party is unalterably opposed to Shank. In that division of the party that is opposed to Shank there are many who are equally opposed to Mr. Howe. The efforts of the News-Jewett organization In the last days of the campaign have been to convince those opponents of Shank and Howe that they must accept Howe to defeat Shank Such strategy as they have been able to exercise has so far failed for the reason that there appears to be in the party as pronounced a distrust of Howe as of Shank and an utter disinclination to accept Howe on any basis. Still, the effort continues to force Howe on the party and it becomes more dictatorial as the last hours approach. Attempts are being made to mask the dictation under the guise of an altruistic effort to “save the city" from a campaign with Shank as a candidate, when in reality the effort is to save the officeholding machine from the complete wreck that awaits it with the success of Shank. This attempt to make of the Howe campaign a “civic duty" can have but one purpose, and that is the building up of a hypocritical “justification” for the corruption of the primaries. Its purpose is to encourage election crooks to cheat and steal at the primaries by creating the idea among them that the general public will condone crookedness as being “necessary to Bave the city.” Whether or not this hypocrisy will prevail depends upon the success of the News-Jewett organization in ascribing to their support of Mr. liowe a civic purpose. Thus far the members of this machine have not succeeded in convincing Indianapolis that it i3 a “civic duty" to corrupt or condone the corruption of the primary. But four years ago the same coterie of political hypocrites did succeed in convincing Indianapolis that it was to the best interests of the city that It ignore a defeat of the expressed will of the voters and accept corrupted primary returns. History might repeat itself this primary. Unless the Republicans voters of Indianapolis are willing to condone another rape of the primaries Mr. Thomas C. Howe will be defeated next Tuesday because of the character of the men who inaugurated and are conducting his campaign rather than because of anything he has done or might do as a candidate.

Progress The fact that ex-Congressman Esch, who is now on the Interstate Commerce Commission and who is one of the authors of the Cummins-Esch railroad law, long advocated the use of steel coaches to prevent loss of life in wrecks, called to mind some railroad methods of adopting new things. Probably the most conservative commercial institution of the country, aside from the bank, is the railroad, and it is known the managers fought Esch in his proposition to use steel coaches Just as long as they could. But the steel coaches are practical and do prevent loss of life In a wreck. After opposing them and resisting the enactment of all laws requiring them, the railroads began to use them. Now every train'that undertakes any speed or long distance is composed of steel coaches. It was a case of Pity, endure and then embrace, and every derailment justified the extra cost of the steel coach. The history of the adoption of steel carriages by the railroad is a very clear despicture of human nature, and it illustrates the proposition that common sense will triumph ultimately, despite prejudice and high prices. The cost of a coach is far beyond that of the wooden carriage, but so is the life correspondingly longer. The weight is more, while the riding is easier. The danger when a wreck occurs is immensely less. The roads refused to adopt this innovation; the public laughed and regarded it as a rich man’s luxury; Congress hesitated to compel the large expenditure to obtain this fad, as it was characterized. Then one road adopted the car, and soon others followed. Every reason existed for such *n action, and after a few demonstrations the steel coach became a necessity, in spite of the large initial cost. If a thing is good and useful, the cost is a minor matter; as soon as sufficient impression is made on the copservative mind. Impossible! New York, which likes to be startled, got a jolt recently and had to pause in the midst of money-making and scandal publishing and gasp, when it found a stock broker living with two wives. How he could do it was the first question asked. Had this occurred in Utah perhaps no questions would have arisen, but in New York where gunmen abound and everybody is supposed to speak at least two languages, many queries appear and remain to be answered by the once happy head of a double household. The problem of how to find a roof large enough for two women first arises, th£n comes the ability to furnish a budget big enough for two wives and their respective millinery bills and finally but not least, is wisdom to umpire between them so that each is kept happy and satisfied, and neither will wear the other’s clothes. The excuse for the second marriage is that the first one was unlawful but wife number one stayed and cared for the children anyhow. She claims ter be the only lawful wife, and when wife number two finally grew bothersome, number one promptly ousted her, as though she were a boarder and then brought divorce proceedings. Number two got into court to annul her marriage, then hubby was held for bigamy. All this shows the game cannot be beaten, even by a New York stock broker and that the man was not as smart as he thfSight he was—otherwise he would live happily in his harem.

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

CHAPTER CC. The first fruits of my chat with Virginia about spending money gracefully were plucked by Tom Mason. The talk ended Just as we arrived at his studio, and promptly I decided to have my bedroom done in the inlaid French woods and stiff taffetas I had insisted only the week before we couldn’t afford. “You can afford anything here, Donna Anna," whispered Tom, while Virginia was critically considering the value of curtains or French doors between Jim’s den and the bedroom. “I’ve come to the conclusion that I can't afford nnytbing but the best for my home," 1 replied stiffly. “I’d give you the best, whether you ordered it or not," declared Tom. "I want everything around you to be perfect I'm building your nest; you'll }jave to remember that at every turn. You'll have to remember me. My work is there la your own room with you—where I ” With burning cheeks I darted across the room to Virginia’s side. Whatever barrier of reserve had heretofore kept Tom Mason from making himself completely obnoxious to me was gone now. I realized that 1 had always hoped he'd turn out to be a real friend, one in whose sincerity I could trust and on whose judgment I could rely. “Virginia—we’ve linens and silver and pots ami kettles to buy today,” I said breathlessly. "Let's decide on the French door with the little curtains. And now we're through. When will you have the things In the apartment, Mr. Mason?" I added, turning to him with an air that was meant to tell him that our relations were strictly business from now on. “Oh, by the end of next we°k. I’ll telephone you," he said with no air of know iug he had been dismissed. “Now. may I take you leadies out for a bit of lunch ?” "No, thank you," I said coldly, so coldly that Virginia thawed the consequent ice with a bit of explanation: “We’ve such a lot to do, Mr. Mason, that lingering for a man's idea of lunch is out of the question.” This was true enough, for we hurried out to snatch a sandwich and some salad in a little tearoom. Then we dashed around nil afternoon selecting an endless procession of things. "What a real sister you are, Jennie!" I said in farewell, when our taxi stopped at her apartment late in the afternoon. ! "I'd hive been lost without you all through this whirl of home-making. I haven't learned yet to think of things on a scale beyond five thousand a year, dou'll always stand by this little newly rieh ?” "I think we'll always Btand by each other, Anne," she said. I

"As I drove home gratitude welled up In my heart and made mu long for some way of proving hew ready I was to stand by this proud, aloof woman who gave her service so freely—and herself so charily. Jim was In the bedroom of our suite when I got in. He looked up irritably from a sea of clothes scattered all about him on be.ds and chairs and floor. The crease between his eyes seemed to leap out of itself nowadays whenever he looked at me, “You’re late,” he said. “Get busy and pack up a week-end bag. We’re going to the Inlet House with the Cosbys. Tbere's a place down on the Sound they think of buying and they want to see if there's any life down there.” “V> hy—l can't go off on a week-end with them on a minute's notice like this,” I began. "I haven't the right clothes. I cant." “For mercy’s sake, why don't yon get yourself the right clothes, so every time I want to have a party you won't go whimpering that you've nothing to w-oar? I m darned sick of apologizing for the way you look, anyway, Anne.” “Do you do that? Do you cheapen me like that?" I cried. “Well, this time you won't have to. I can't go tonight. I’m on duty at the canteen and 1 have to rush right over.” "Gut it I” stormed Jim. “You're coming along. This is going to be a party of four." "I can’t—the canteen * • •” "Get a substitute." "That's easily said, Jim. Rut who? Who'll go at the eleventh hour?’’ "Try Phoebe. Now listen, Anne. You’re not going to get me In wrong with the Cosbys again, are you? I’ve been tele phoning all afternoon. This is Important. Get l’hoebe. Then pack the best clothes you have. And when we return Monday have Jennie select you a decent dross or so. 1 need you now. Are you going to dnek again?" "No, Jiiu," I sal 1 quietly, and called Phoebe on the phone. Luckily she was at home, and In a mood to oblige me. There was almost n breathless note In her voice as she said she'd love to go—she'd always wanted to do that sort of work. And, as I turned from the phone, I was smiling dreamily and wondering—wondering if I’hoebe had been so glad to go because she fancied Neal might strtdl Into the canteen. A second later the long arm of circumstances stretched out and rung the phone again. It was Neal. A Neal still Jobless and dreary. “Why don't you go to the canteen tonight?" I asked at the end of our chat. "The food's good— and so cheap.” "Maybe I will,” answered Neal.—Copyright, 1021. (To Re Continued.)

"Well, we can Jmt put the bag Into our box this w iy When we s* i.d It, 1 suppose," said Sally. “I'll tell you what will be n n'eer way." r-plled Mrs Hooper. "I'll get three or four small empty bottles with screw* Covers that I have put away in the basement cupboard and next Friday you girls can sort all those buttons, putting the white on s in one bottle, the black ones In another and the colored ones In another They will look more attractive for your box that way, and will be all ready for Mrs. Simpson to use without the bother of picking them out of that big bag, when she wants to use them."

DISCUSSES WITH PARENTS MEANS OF PUNISHMENT Judge Lahr Causes Youngster to Sink Down in Chair With Misgivings. A “feller” certainly needed a “friend” the other afternoon in Juvenile Court when Judge Prank Lahr turned his court

Into a congress for mothers and fathers for the purpose of determining whether It was best to use a switch or the bare hand in "spankin g ” rebellious children. One rufflehaired youngster of 12 years was the only representative of the recipients of the “switch” and the bare hand and an occasional slipper. The lad in ques-

He had been caught “smokin’ ” and even carrying "dice” and, the evidence showed, had exhibited a tendency to keep hours beyond 0 o'clock at night. ‘Mill FI'IN'S" FAIL TO REFORM, Ills father admitted that he had used the switch and a strap on him but the “w-hippln's" had brought about no reform. The boy’s stepmother admitted that she also had failed to discipline the boy. "hen confronted with the evidence, | Judge I.alir invited a number of fathers and mothers of Brightwood, who were In court as witnesses, to gather nejir the bench to discuss Informally the question of keeping boys off of the streets as well as home discipline. I Several motb-rs boasted that they | never had to either "spank” or “switch” . their sons. "How old are the boys?" asked the | court of such parents. " hen Informed that they were not over S yearn of age. Judge Lahr smiled and "You Just wait until they get about 12 and 14 aud you will not be able to . say that." •II RLE'S STRAP NOT Rt STY. j Then the court said. “I, too, will make | tin admission. I have a boy at home i Just about the same age of the boy before me. 1 have a strap hanging on a nail on the wall at home and I tell you that the strap Isn't rusty. It Is on the nail when needed.” " hen the lad before the court heard that admission of the court, he 8 coo tod i down In his chair and assumed a very | bored attitude as if the whole world wag I "against'' him. He smiled when Judge Lahr said softly. My boy at home has a playground; be has twenty, seven rabbits, a fli.e dog, sixty ebb kens, even white rats and mice uul ducks. And jet we are faring the same problem that you fathers and I mothers are facing—how to keep that | boy at home. The dog aids In keeping j l he boy at home and we have put those j things there f .r the purpose of making the home attractive to that boy. \Ve ! have to keep our ‘one eye' on hltn and hght the Influences, the same as you do, jto keep his Interests centered on home. And yet that boy still wants to be on ; the go. HOW TO KEEP BOY OFF STREETS 1110 (}| ESTIOJf, “ The big question In the home today Is how to keep the boy off the streets. Everything centers around the solution of that question. Nearly all of the delinquent boys who appear Itt this court got their start on the wrong road by r : 'M'.g away foot) home und running the streets. J "Sometime ago I gavo an address and !t well dressed woman came to me and Informed' me that ■she agreed with that statement. Then she ,a!d proudly, ‘Do you know, Judge, that my son, U'.Ule, was never allowed to go up town a.one until he was ten years of age.’ Oh, yes, that mother agreed with me." Continuing, the Judge said, “We have t o formula, no fixed rule, for keeping the boy at home. Some of von mothers s.av that you use kindness. Some of the fathers find time to play ball with t o|r sot sand a father should do this as this Is a fine method for reaching the confidence of the boy Others feet that their sons could nnd would do no wrong nor desire to go out onto the streets Sooner <>r later you people will i face that problem. Some of you parents j have stated that you make the home at- j tractive. Others state that the switch and the little strap are used. FAVORS ADEQUATE PUNISHMENT. “1 am not In favor of brutality to children. But do not worry too much over the scar or the scratch that the little switch or the strap makes on the boy. You can't spank a boy with your hand unless it causes a led spot. Don't get excited over the little scara on the children." Judge Lahr chuckled and said : "1 always thought that a razor strop was the h st because It crackled; made a lot of j noise and really aided in the bluff “Another thing Is shown In tho evi j lienee in this ease. When this boy visited pis aunt he was a ‘fine boy,' the aunt so states. It is natural for a boy to ac t that way while he Is visiting. I remember when I was a boy and used t spend several weeks at a time with my grandmother. While there I was a fine boj*. Oh, yes. But when I got home my good old father bad to put the switch on me to get me back to earth. I know j "'hut this visitin' around causes," said the Judge with a smile. In discussing the case of the boy befero Mm. the court said, “This mother has a different problem to solve than j-ou other mothers have because she is a stepmother. The trouble is that the boy places the emphasises oil the ‘step’ and nearly forgets the ‘mother’ part. The evidence shows here that tho boy has received 'backing' from some of the neighbors and his very actions here In the courtroom shows that he knows he has a certain bapkiug.” Then Judge Lahr excused tho boy nnd continued the case "Indefinitely,” besides ordering the boj- to go to the home of his father In Brightwood. Then the court, the fathers and the mothers talked of the sizes of switches, paddles, straps and other symbols of a uthorlty.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline, bnt do not compel 1”

SATURDAY, APRIL 30. This is a threatening day, according to astrology, and should be one in which Important decisions are made with unusual forethought. The Suit and Neptune are in malefic aspect. Let hi in who expects any sort of an appointment forbear to push his claims while this configuration prevails, for he will meet with opposition and severe criticism. During this sway suspicion is likelv to control the minds of men, whether they be in high place or of law estate. A revival of Interest In home-making will bring about many improvements in domestic conditions, it is prognosticated. Persons whoso birthdate it is may'have rather a checkered year. Success followed by disappointment may be met, but the final outcome should be very fortunate.

BEARDS OF CHORUS ‘GIRLS’ OF ‘BAGDAD’ FAIL TO HIDE Charms of Fair Ones in Big Shriners’ Revue at Murat

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. “Feminine" beauty shines through the manly beards of the chorus “girls" In the snappiest and smartest of the home brew revues, “Badgad,” which has ever graced the Murat stage. These “girls” of the chorus, with their plump, bare shoulders, artistic bosom effects and shapely legs, stage “The Bagdad Ballet,” with Mr. Pearl Allen as Azeez Zahr, a dancer with an Oriental tendency, which makes a riot of the closing minute of the smartest revne ever staged by Murat Temple. The final curtain last night dropped with the audience clamoring for more pleasure at the hands of the Shriners' entertainers, who have put anew milestone In the history of local productions. Never has any local organization ever attempted or even dreamed of staging a revue employing more entertainers in number thau the Ziegfeld “Follies” and having more scenes than A1 Jolson's “Sinbad.” It is a triumph of the entertaining aims of the Shrinere and takes first prize from a scenic as well as a melodious standpoint. The Shriners did not go out of their ranks to obtain their talent for “Bagdad,” which was revealed for the first time last night at the Murat and will be repeated tonight and Saturday night. Mr. Paul Hickey wrote the story and even hod time to aid In directing the massive production. Even the “chorus girls” and dancing beauties were recruited from the Murat Temple membership. Mr. Ziegfeld can no longer boast of the most beautiful girls in the world, because the Shriners, with the aid bf a safety razor or a barber, some paint, powder, false hair, nifty gowns and a "kiss rue again” smile, have turned out the keenest bunch of chorus and dancing beauties ever assembled at the Murat. It certainly beats the band how those "girls” ran dance, shake their shoulders and wink a naughty eye. Mr. Pearl Allen Is the chief female dancer of the show. Mr. Don Morrison, ns the Caliph's “female'' favorite, gives Roltnre Eggleston, as Jafaar, the grand wezeer to the Caliph, the “cold shoulder,” but she saves "her" kisses and a big hug for Otto Krauss, as Abu Hassau, Walee of Police. The stage name of the “maidens" of the court and the names of the Shriners impersonating the "maidens” are as follows : Zahr El-Bustan. "Flower of the Garden,” G. D. Bevington; Sabeehad, “The Beautiful,” Harry C. Ent; Shejeret EdDurr, "Tree of Pearls,” Dudley E. Gallahue: Noon-El-Huda, “Light of Daj\” C. A. Ferguson: "Nejrnet Ks-Subh, “Star of the Morning," George W. Richards; Nuzheh, “Delight," William Morganson ; Hulweh, “Sweet," Roy Seibert; Zareefeh, "The Elegant,” Frank Sartor. All of the dancing scenes are staged with a regular Ziegfeld touch and not one of the "girls" missed a step. MANY STARS APPEAR IN THE BIG CAST. Seven hundred Shriners appear during the unfolding of the story of “Bagdad" which is In two parts and fourteen scenes. In the prologue. Arthur Wagner appear* ns the Arabian Story Teller and his audience consists of Charles Apostol and Hehoch I)avls. Additional principal characters and the players are as follows: The Caliph, Haroun-Kischid, Edward J. Scoonover; Jafaar, Grand Wezeer to the Caliph.

The story of “Bagdad" tells the efforts of the Caliph to make every day a blue law Sunday. The ruler issued an edict in which any person found with hair tonic or other drinks upon their breath were punished with death. Nobody was allowed to sing even jazz songs—death was the penalty. And the most terrible part of the edict was that no man could spoon or make love with the girls of the country. The Grand Wezeer used the edict In the absence of the Caliph as a means to eliminate the Walee of the Police, who was In love with Koot-El-Kuloob, the favorite dume of the ruler's harem. The Grand Walee was beating the time of the Grand Wezeer with the favorite. So the Grand Wezeer hires a beggar by the name of El Samit to pose as the t'dliph. The conspiracy nearly succeeds as all the political enemies of the Grand Wezeer were caught drinking white mule, spooning or singing. The Grand Wezeej had it planned that all the guilty ones were to suffer death with the exception of the ruler's favorite, when the Caliph himself appears, saves the victims ffom death and throws the Grand Wezeer in prison and chains. Everybody Is bnppy when the Caliph admits that the blue laws are a failure. The ending, of course, Is a happy- and a gay affair. That's the clever little story of "Bagdad.” The story Is unfoljed in a fairyland of beauty. Each scene was really a marvel in stage art. The part of the Grand Wezeer was splendidly done by Roltare Eggleston, as were the other chief characters. It is needless to repeat the praise 1 have given the Arab patrol, the chanters, the gun squad as well as the drum and bugle corps, as these organizations cannot be equaled or approached any place in this country. In my fifteen years of reviewing shows, never* have I seen a better drilled organization than Arab Patrol. They don't make 'em any better. One of the melody hits of the evening was the song of Otto Krauss, called "My Bagdad Love." The “jazz" song favorite was “Gee Gee of Fiji Isle,” as done by A1 Hoffmeister. The Murat Chanters of course were excellent. John Goll brought the house down with “Becky from Babylon " George E. Gill presented a skeleton dance in “The Cave of Spirits,” which resulted in a well earned encore. Nearly forgot to tell you that this Oriental spectacle even had a "camel.” Oh. mercy, yes. Parts of the “camel"

were Impersonated by two of the Shriners. This camel did not possess a walk Inspired by drinking water and appeared not to like blue laws and other reforms. Opinion: “Bagdad" Is the htppodrom* of the home brew shows. It has never been equaled in the past and I fail to see how the Shriners can. produce even a better show next year. It Is a splendid triumph.
