NO ONE will have the hardihood to declare that among the things Indianapolis does not need is fire prevention work! THE GAS COMPANY order that members of the commission declared would be made before the primaries is not yet in evidence. JOKER YOUNG is understood to be offering a perfectly good lease for an Indiana avenue property designed for poolroom use at a sacrifice. Where Is Jewett Now? In defense of his earnest efforts to nominate Mr. Howe for mayor cn the Republican ticket Mayor Jewett declared that both Mr. Shank and Mr. Robison had “repudiated my administration" and that it was necessary, therefore, for him to support Howe in defense of his administration. In the primary Tuesday the total vote of Mr. Shank and Mr. Robison, who had “repudiated” Mr. Jewett's administration, was 39,164, while the vote for Mr. Howe, who indorsed Mr. Jewett’s administration, was only 27,207. In other words, the Jewett administration was repudiated by 11,957 votes, or indorsed by less than half of the voters who took part in the primaries. This is probably the first time in the history of municipal elections in Indianapolis that a clean-cut appeal for Indorsement by a Republican administration has been met with such an overwhelming repudiation by the Republican party. It demonstrates the truth of what the Times has been endeavoring to impress on Mr. Jewett for two years—that as mayor of Indianapolis he is not giving the citizens the kind of an administration they desire. Mr. Jewett went into office with the very best of feeling prevailing toward him in all circles. No public official ever had a greater opportunity to conduct an administration that would be acceptable to the citizens of a community as a whole. No community ever had greater faith in the integrity or the ability of its mayor. But Mr. Jewett made the mistake of regarding that faith in him aa something that was based on his own personality and something that he could interpose between himself and his critics without regard to the merits of their criticisms. Instead of so ordering his administration as to retain and upbuild that faith in him of which he was so proud, he undertook to use that faith as a blind for the conduct of his administration along lines that did not Justify faith. i Criticisms of Mr. Jewett have Invariably been met with the response that Mr. Jewett was honorable and nothing in his administration could be justly subjected to criticism. Almost never have Mr. Jewett and his associates directed their attention to the things that were criticised with a view to determining whether or not those things could be improved. Instead of listening to criticism and then directing his efforts toward eliminating the cause for crticism, Mr. Jewett sought opportunity to denounce his critics as “menaces,” to malign them and attribute their opposition to him to improper motives. For a time this practice succeeded, but eventually Mr. Jewett began to slip from his pedestal and citizens no longer shunned those among them who were courageous enough to differ with the administration. Eventually the unanswered criticisms of the Jewett administration became so generally regarded as unanswerable that they were no longer doubted. Gradually citizens had sufficient individual experiences with the administration to appreciate that it was not the Infallible government that Mr. Jewett proclaimed it to be. Finally, Mr. Jewett put the issue to a test and was repudiated by a majority of his own party. In all fairness to Mr. Jewett it must be said that prior to this primary he did not realize the depth of unpopularity to which he and his administration had sunk in Indianapolis. Surrounded by a clique of friends, who flattered him, lauded always by a newspaper that used him and serene in the knowledge that he had once had the confidence of th“ community, Mr. Jewett possessed no toleration for those who could not applaud him. And so he linked his own administration with the candidacy of Mr. Thomas C. Howe and it was repudiated by more than half the voters of his own party!

The Northside Did It! Analysis of the official vote by wards in the contest between Mr. Shank and Mr. Howe produces Irrefutable evidence against the popular but unfounded statements that the “southskle nominated Shank.” Mr. Shank received more votes in that part of Indianapolis lying north of Washington street than in the territory to the south. In those wards lying wholly south of Washington street, Mr. Shank lead Mr. Howe by a total of 5,052 votes. In those wards lying wholly north of Washington street Mr. Howe led Mr. Shank by 6,700. In the combined vote of the Ninth and Fifteenth wards, the greater part of which lie north of Washington street, Mr. Shank led Mr. Howe by 824 votes. The Eleventh precinct of the Fifteenth ward, and the First, Fourteenth and Fifteenth precincts of the Ninth ward, which precincts may be classified as south of Washington street, gave Mr. Howe a plurality over Mr. Shank of 397 votes. The total Shank vote in the wards wholly north of Washington street was 13,747, the total in the wards south of Washington street was 9,598. In the two wards lapping Washington street the Shank total was 5,510, cf which only 681 votes came from the precincts south of Washington Street. These same south precincts that returned only 581 votes for Mr. Shank gave Mr. Howe 978 votes. Thus is the myth about the strength of Mr. Shank being confined to the southside, or to Democratic strongholds, disposed of by the returns. Asa matter of fact it was the revolt cf the northside precincts against the domination of the News-Jewett organization that enabled Mr. Shank to win the primary. Mr. Howe polled an exceptional large number of southside votes. He failed to get the expected vote in the northside wards, but he swamped Shank in those precincts that overlap Washington street. This primary ought to do a great deal toward eliminating that baseless idea that exists in the minds of many that the citizens of Indianapolis who live south of Washington street are any different from those who live north. Certainly the primary vote discloses that they differ politically Just the same as their northside neighbors and also that the campaign through which it was acknowledged that Shank reached the southside vote also enabled him to impress the northside vote. Chorus Men! > Coincident with an announcement from New York that Ziegfeld's "Follies” will from now on eliminate the chorus men comes the news that in Mexico the safer or perhaps more humane amusement of a comic bull fight is introduced. It is in order to suggest that possibly some of the chorus men can get a job down there, if they can obtain transportation. To a man who accompanied his wife to a National Meeting of Women Voters, the move on the part of the publisher or producers of “Follies” to eliminate the men is a good one. Some are accustomed to ask why paint anything red or yellow when there is so much beautiful green in the world? So why have men “follies” when New York contains so much good material in the opposite sex? It sometimes strains the Imagination and causes a tired feeling when the alleged grace of a male chorus is portrayed on the stage. The charm arising from a bevy of beauties in abbreviated costumes is wholly different to the average man. To see a dozen men dancing and waving their arms before the lights when farm hands are in demand at a dollar a day and board is disgusting to the tired business man. These same chorus men, if put into the arena and required to stage a comic bull fight, with or without a bull, would be of some Interest. They might at least do something natural, if not so classy, and if they just furnished entertainment by dodging the bull, it would please the audience. As it Is now, if the bull would get them the entertainment would not be wholly a failure, though the comic part might be absent.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life 1 By Ann Lisle

CHAPTER CCVI. “I’ve a few things on my mind. Are you feeling strong and helpful this morning?” I asked Virginia as we dropped in at Wickham’s together the day after Evvy had paid me her unpleasant and unforgettable visit. "Like a tower of strength, so lean on me, grandma!” Virginia laughed. “It’s like this,” I explained, accompanying Virginia to the little ivory and green booth, where she was to have her fittings. ”1 want to spend some money and also to save some. So will you help me pick out anew suit and help Jim make up his mind to move Into our apartment, even though all the fittings aren’t in it yet? No use paying the Walgrave a fortune every day when we have an apartment of our own.” “Why don’t you help Jim make up his mind?” asked Virginia, turning away and busying herself with the snappers of her blouse. “I can’t,” I confessed, feeling relief in my frankness. “Jim calls me a miser-—in fun, perhaps, but he thinks I don't know how to enjoy life.” “I think so, too,” commented Virginia dryly. Then she came over and put her hand on my shoulder in a gesture much like one of Jim's. “Anne, don't try so hard to save for a rainy day and let all the sunny ones get away from you. I'll take care of the Walgrave situation. Now you see to it that Jim's wife looks more like the lilac girl he married, and less like a worried, shabby woman who’s above thinking about clothes.” “Jim hardly knows whether I'm a lilac girl or a shrub bush these days,” I confessed. “If you blossom out like the llllles of the field, I'll back Jim to notice. He's a regular man!” “ 'Xuff said,’ ” I replied, avoiding any suggestion of heroics. “Now i'll fit my lace dinner gown, and as soon as you're through with your own fitting, will you come and help me pick out a suit?” Half nn hour later a procession of mannikins was swinging by, while Virginia and I sat inspecting them and their costumes as critically as tho Judges look over e itrles at a dog show. “I'd like to see my sister in that blue suit, Emily,” Virginia said to the saleswoman. So presently I was swinging about like a mannikin, while Virginia Inspected my lines and the tailoring of a little suit that didn't look vastly different to my untrained eye from the ones for which I had been accustomed to paying $35. “It’s Just right,” Virginia said, finally. “Mrs. Harrison must have a smarter vest, though. fine batiste instead of that ugly brocade. See to it, please, Emily.” “Os course, Mrs. Daiton.” the saleswoman smiled, ”if you don’t take my

j KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The noopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the nany present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily n an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) FRIDAY. The bride appeared punctually at 2 o'clock to walk to the club with Mrs. Hooper. She was showing great interest in the activities of the community into which she had come as a stranger to make her home, so that Mrs. Hooper had suggested that she Join the Woman’s Club and so come in closer and more friendly contact with her nelghoors. "Well, I think I shall Just go with you a few times as your guest if you don't mind," had be**n the young bride's reply. “I don't believe I like woman's clubs. I think as a rule I'd rather stay home and spend the afternoon reading." “I can't help thinking that you are prejudiced against woman's clubs,” an swered Mrs. Hooper as she pulled on hr gloves and prepared to start. “A woman'? club fills a very definite need in a community like this.” ‘ Oh, yes, provided the women do someth'ng beside fuss around and gossip,” add'd the bride, flippantly. “And then if they get too serious it is such a bore.” Mrs. Hooper laughed good naturedly “I'm sure the women of Mayfield do neither exeept to a normal degree, as you will find out when you have attended their meetings for a month or so. “What are you going to do this afternoon,” Inquired the bride. “Well, a man who knows a great deal about insurance will give a talk on all the phases of the subject In its relation to women’s weifure, and suggest to them a proper arrangement of their budgets, so that it will be possible for every one of them to be adequately protected, If anything should happen to their husbands, or if their property should be destroyed by lire.” “But I supposed it was a man's business to look out for thoso th ugs,” observed the bride. “Now, of course, I don't know whether Bob lias any insurance or his life or on our house and furniture and he certainly ought to look out for that because it’s his business.” “A great many wives feel Just that way about it,” answered Mrs. Hooper, “and the consequence is that the whole matter is neglected until it is too late, then the poor husband is berated by every one for cruelty and neglect aa weil as hard-hearted indifference to the welfare of his family when it is often merely a matter of hopeless inability to meet the demands of a premium in order to carry Insurance.”

"Well, 1 don’t see what a wife can do about it,” continued the bride stubbornly. “She is Just the one who onn.” insisted Mrs. Hooper. “Even when an income is so small tbnt it will permit of no other savins: account, the budget can be arranged so that there is a small sum weekly to be devoted to tbe payment of a life Insurance premium.” “I should think a wife would become very unpopular with her husband,” laughed the bride, “if she kept harping on tho subject of life insurance. It might presuppose a commercial Interest in his possible death.” "Although you laugh when you say it,” answered Mrs. Hooper, “that very nhsnrd notion does exist In the minds of many women who hesitate to urge their husbands to carry an insurance on their lives even when they realize that their children would be destltuto if anything happened to him, and even when they can see Just how their budget could he apportioned in order to be able to afford the rremlum.” “Well, I shall be mneh Interested In what this man says at the club,” said the bride, “and if necessary I'll take the subject up with Bob. At least. I’ll Insist on our house and furniture being insured." “I'll never get over the deplorable con dltlon of those poor Browns who Uvod next to us," observed Mrs. Hooper. “When their house burned down it meant practically beginning life all over again for Mrs. Brown, and the consequence of their carelessness was perfectly avoidable because Mr. Brown’s salary could have been managed so that something would have been left each week toward the premium for Insurance on his house. “I want to give you this recipe for Berkshire muffins,” concluded Mrs. Hooper before they left tbe house. “I know your husband will enjoy them, and you are not like Mrs. Campbell, who is too busy dressing children in the moaning to

models Just as they come, I can’t give you such advantageous prices. As It stands the model Is $l6O, but with a different waistcoat. I’ll have to charge you $175.” ‘‘Walt till we’re through ordering and then make us the best price you can," replied Virginia suavely. “Now I want my sitter to see the black paulette embroidered in blue beads that 1 ordered in sage green yesterday for Miss Harrison. And please have Clarice wear the blue poppy turban with it.” “But, Virginia, I can’t possibly afford more than* the suit. Anyway, would Phoebe like it if I ordered the same model sbj’s having?” "Phoebe * is green embroidered to red; very different. So that’s all right. But is the little ‘mister’ speaking?” asked Virginia, smjlllng so kindly that the sting went out of her words. “Don’t fear, Jim will call a halt if you go too far. His suits cost ninety apiece if they cost a cent, and I’ve seen him in four this past fortnight. You asked me to steer the ship; remember that." “Jim has to look prosperous, being around so much with men like Lane Cosby,” I protested, with a last flare of conservatism. “And you'll have to look prosperous to he around so much with women like Val Cosby.” “All right,” I said grimly, ‘What do I need to stund the contrast?” The next thing I knew i was ordering the black paulette and a flue tan tricot dress with cape to match. “Now a blue parasol for the paulette,” ordered Virginia, “The poppy turban's very good. I’d like my sister to try a brown Spanish sailor for the tan costume and a black poke with paradise for the dinner dress." “Paradise!” I whispered to Virginia, "And four costumes at once! I've been brought up on a oue-new-dress-a-year schedule. But I think I’m going to like yours better. Lead me to it, Jeanie.” Whin we had tried aud ordered all the things Virginia had suggested, Miss Emily fitted down over my head a little turban of henna colored Batnvle, casting a critical eye over my blue serge as she did so, and remarking: “You really mustn’t go without this. It brings out the lights in your hair beautifully, aud it dresses up the little frock you're wearing.” "She's lovely In that. You’re a genius, Emily. Now be a dear and make a reasonable price,” said Virginia. Miss Emily took up pencil and paper and did some Impressive figuring. Then she looked up with an air of one conveying a great favor. “Only nine seventy-five, she said— Copyright, 1021. (To be continued)

The Well Dressed Woman By NORMA TALMADGK, Star of Associated First National Mrtures.

As the hat is the frame of the face, it takes the most conspicuously important place in every woman's costume, and the variety of sizes, shapes and materials was never so arresting ns this year, it seems to me as I try on shape after shape or go into consultation with the designers regarding this most fascinating selection. Apart from the costume hat, which carries out the color or period scheme of many of the gowns this seasou, there are some exquisite models which harmonize with all styles of formal costumes. These are all either extremely large or small and close fitting, with trailing streamers of feathers or fruit or flowers. Very fine hair braid, which is tansparent, showing the coiffure beneath, is one of the best liked fabrics for dress hats, and these ale usually designed with

NEW AUTO LAW TO STOP THEFTS Secretary of State Prepares to Enforce Act. Preparations are being made at the office of the Secretary of State for the ens ircement of the automobile certificate of title act which will become effective when the laws are promulgated, probably the latter part of this month. The act provides that every automible owner must have a certificate of title to his car and that when he sells the car the title must be transferred much in the same manner as title to real estate is transferred. A certificate showing the name of the owner of the car and giving information concerning the car must be carried in a container on the automobile at all times. The act also provides for the assistance of tho State In the capture of automobile thieves. Plans are being made for the appointment of six officers to work under the Secretary of State for this purpose. The officers will have the power to obtain the assistance of any police officer who will then have the power to make an arrest in any county. Much trouble has been experienced by the inability of officers to make arrests outside of a restricted area. Automobile owners are expected to make applications for certificates of title as soon as the law becomes effective. The foe for the certificate will be 50 cents and the price of the container, which each automobile owner will be required to purchase, will be 50 cents. In addition to this, a notary foe of 25 cents will t>e charged in each case where affidavits of ownership are attested in the office of the Secretary of State. THOUSANDS OF PLANS OFFERED NAVY OFFICIALS (Continued From Page One.)

are stuck before they hit the boat —and there you are.” It was n great idea; certainly no one else had thought of It. But as the spikes would have to be about fifty feet long Jo hold off the torpedoes and each ship would have to have three or four thousand of them, we could not very well adopt the invention. WRAP SHIP IN COTTON IS SUGGESTED. A southern Inventor brought forth a plan that would have thrilled the sunny South with Joy if It could have been adopted. TVs was to sheathe all ships with an armor of thick cotton batting. He evidently got his inspiration from the battle of New Orleans, where doughty old Andrew Jackson erected a barricade of cotton bales which the British shell, could not penetrate. So a century later this Jacksonian figured that a ship swathed in cotton would be Immune from * hell or torpedoes. The Germans could fire away, and do no more harm than ts they were throwing rocks at a mattress. Any new use for cotton in unlimited quantities nat"—';.v nppealed to me. as 1 come from a cotton raising section, bat unfortunately the naval experts seemed to have their doubts about the efficacy of cotton-batting armor, preferring to stick to steel. There were a lot of inventions, of course, and even some of thoso that were not practicable embodied ideas that were worth considering. Though we never did succeed in building a nonslnkable ship the thought given to the subject and the experiments made were not without their value. Increasing the buoyancy of vessels Is one of the things that all naval constructors -are studying, and we believe that ours have made as much progress in this direction as those of any other country, PROTECTION AGAINST TORPEDOES BEING STUDIED. Our capital ships are being built so that one torpedo will not disable them, and it might take two or three to sink them. This method may. In time, be adapted to transports and all large vessels used In war service. The development of devices for detecting submarines; of the radio compass, which tells a ship its position st sea; of the nonriochet shell, which Is not deflected when it hits the water: of small cannon for aeroplanes: of star shells that are a great aid in night firing, throwing a blaze of light over enemy vessels while not revenlli g the positions of our own ships—these are only a few of the inventions that came out of the war Beginning as a crude affair carrying fifty pounds of explosive, the depth charge was developed Into a huge bomb, carrying 800 pounds of TNT, timed to explode at any depth reliable weapon that was the .terrier of the, U-boats. The paravane, an English invention, proved of the greatest value in protecting ships from mines Like two huge wings spread out in the water, it picked up mines, and its wires boro them away from the ships, where they could be exploded without danger to the vessel. Mines played a big part in naval warfare. The Germans sowed the seas with them, and if the allied mine sweepers had not been so energetic and skillful in removing them they might have been as destructive to shipping as the IJ-boats were. The new mine our Navy developed in 1917 was regarded as decidedly superior to any of its predecessors, and tills was the type used in the North Bea mine barrage, 80 per cent of which was composed of American mines, laid bj American vessels. APPARATUS TO DETECT APPROACH OF ‘•SUB.*’ At last, after considerable experiment, American genius devised a "listening” appnratus that would disclose the presence of a submarine miles way, if it was In motion. It enabled the operators, by the sound of the propellers and other noises, to tell whether the ship heard was a liner, a warship, or a “sub.” This

a narrow brim at the front and back and very wide at the sides. One extremely chic model by Lucie Hamar is made of a heliotrope shade of braid, with many strands of chenille surrounding the crown and long strands of glycerined ostrich meeting at the renter front and falling over the sides. Raboux sent me a model of black milan straw, which is also very much a thing of the hour, the only trimming being a huge crush bow of moire ribbon pressed closely against tho crown and brim at the right hand side. I’icot silk instead of ribbon and embossed cire satin, with a raised surface in floral designs, is seen on many of the latest models, and a babe metal ribbon, which is sometimes use* instead of braid to form the entire hat and in other , instances manipulated into intricate bows, is a novelty of this year. Peggy Hoyt's hats are characterized this year by exquisite coloring In pastel shades, hair braid, handmade flowers and silks of hand loom weave predominating. One of my favorites Is pictured lu the sketch. It is of two shades of lavender hair braid, trimmed with American Beauty roses in tints of a soft summer evening twilight, delicate pinks, mauves. grays and purples. This hat I can wear with any afternoon frock, as the colors are so dainty they would serve only to enhance any costume with which It might be worn. Leghorns are also being shown, trlmmod lavishly with fruit and flowers, but are not considered especially smart.

' DISRAELI ’ TO BE FILMED SOON Asa Movie Vehicle for George Arliss

“Disraeli,” one of the outstanding successes of the present generation, is to be brought to the screen by Mr. George Arliss, who was responsible for its success on the speaking stage. Production arrangements have already been made for this picture and the screen version of the play will be issued by United Artists Corporation in Die early fall. Mr. Arliss's first screen production, "The Devil,” is now proving a sensational success the country over, and it was only during the past week that he completed his business arrangements for the distribution of his future productions, through Mr. Hiram Abrams, head of the “Big Four” which organizatio l is comprised of Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D. VV. Griffith. “Disraeli” is undoubtedly the most celebrated of Mr. Arliss’ many successes and Is the play with which he is most clo3ely identified in the minds of the (lrama-lovlng public. In producing the picture for the screen Mr. Arliss will secure as many members of the original east as are available. “The Devil,” which is the first movie to have tho services of Mr. Arliss, was recently presented at the Ohio. -I- -I- -ISTAGE AND SCREEN. In the half dozen really comic roles in “A Tailor Made Man,” the fourth bill of the Gregory Kelly Company at English's this week, the part of the tailor’s apprentice is one of the funniest. This choice part falls to Percy Helton, who keeps the audience laughing while he is on the stage. When the apprentice goes out in the evening as a waiter he is even funnier than In his day time occupation. Other attractions on view today includes: ‘‘The Wolf” at the Murat; Sybil Vane at B. F. Keith's; Little Lord Roberts at Loew's State; vaudeville and movies at the Rialto and Broadway; Fred’s Circus at the Lyric; “The House That Jazz Built” at the Alhambra; “Forbidden Fruit” at the Ohio; “Lessons in Love” at the Circle; “Outside the Law"

was the most efficient device of the kind perfected during the war, and was adopted by other nations. Better guns for aeroplanes was n vital need. Our ordnance officers vastly Improved the machine guns in use. But for anti-submarine warfare we needed a large caliber gun with sufficient power to penetrate the hull plating of the U-boat, and the Davis nonrecoil gun was produced. This is a radical departure from previous types, the barrel being open at both ends, and loaded at the center bv rotating half of the barrel around an offset axis. Tile projectile leaves the front barrel In the usual way, while a rear charge of equal weight Is projected from the rear barrel. Consequently no recoil force Is transmitted to the mount. A Lewis machine gun is mounted above the Davis gun barrel, so that, in aiming, the machine gun's bullets are fired In approaching the target, and the Davis gun shell speeds forth as the mark is reached. "SMOKE BOXES” BY THOUSANDS. Decided improvements were made in range finding and fire control devices, increasing the efficiency of large and medium caliber guns. "Smoke boxes” were manufactured by the thousands, and placed aboard merchant as well ns naval vessels, so that in case of attack by submarine they could make smoke screens of their own. There were aiso many improvements in wireless telegraphy, one of the most interesting of these being the radio compass, by means of which the position of ships at sea could be determined. This was so successful that submarines made little use. of their wireless near shore, fearing to disclose their location. So many new devices were developed that it would take pages to tell of them all, and though thousands of the suggestions made were impractic tble, not a few were of decided value, and the result of war development as a whole was.fresh proof of the never-failing Inventiveness and genius of Americans.
