THE MARION CLUB appears to need Mr. Shank more than Mr. Shank needs the Marion Club! IT IS ABOUT TIME for the price of gasoline to advance in keeping with the thermometer! ARENT those nice municipal swimming pools inviting now that the warm weather has arrived? IT WOULD APPEAR that the more fire apparatus the city purchases the less effective it grows in fighting fires! WILLIE CAREY is under arrest again. The number of times he has been pinched and freed in the courts is beyond the recollection of man! CONSOLIDATED GAS of New York has cut rates 16 per cent, owing to reductions In the price of gas-making material. Very interesting for a community that is paying 50 per cent more than the statutory maximum!

Why This Delay? It is with considerable difficulty that the average gas consumer in Indianapolis seeks to understand the attitude of the public service commission that recently relieved the Citizens Gas Company of the previously promulgated order to report each month relative to its operation under the 90-cent emergency gas rate. Inquiry reveals that the commissioners have obligingly permitted the company to begin making it3 monthly reports after July 1, however. The excuse offered for this amendment of the gas order is that the commissioners desire a report on a “full month's operation.” The effect is that the day when the company must come into the open and admit that it Is doing nothing to relieve the “emergency- which it created this year has been postponed for the better part of a month. If there was any justification whatsoever for'the Increase of gas rates in Indianapolis it was due to the inability of the company to dispose of its coke. If there was any evidence submitted at the bearing that rang true it was the testimony of a gas company witness that the company’s coke could only be moved by making it attractive to domestic consumers. The commission practically ordered the gas company to take this step and arranged for a monthly report on the progress made. No good faith effort has yet been made by the gas company to piace its coke on the local consumer’s market and now we are informed that no report of the lack of progress along this line will be required until after July 1. It is true that adroitly worded advertisements tending to 6how a reduction in the price of coke have appeared in the newspapers. It is also true that the price asked for coke in Indianapolis today is much higher than the price asked elsewhere. When the citizens of Huntington, Ind., are receiving coke In their cellars for $S a ton and the market price in St. Louis is only $6.50 a ton, it is, of course, foolish to believe that Indianapolis citizens will rush to buy coke at $11.75 a ton. There are a great many citizens who will regard the failure of the commission to bring this coke question to a focus on June 1 as an acquiescence in a plan to continue the 90-cent gas rate for as long a period as the gas company desires to charge that much.

A Successful Dinner The most notable thing about the fire prevention dinner held at the Chamber of Commerce last night was the fact that the whole city of Indianapolis was represented there. For the first time in many years a movement both for and by the community as a whole was launched in a manner that presages a great success. Unfortunately, In the past, such efforts as this movement to save the city from fires have been so conducted that about half the city felt that it had no part in the program. Those citizens who were always willing to cooperate in public movements w-ere generally at the head of the council table. Those citizens who were willing to do their share were not infrequently made to feel that because they had not achieved some reputation in public movements they did not belong to the elect who conduct such movements. This feeling was not noticeable last night. There seemed to be & place for every citizen who was willing to be there and as a result the dinner represented a better spirit of cooperation than has been noted in years. For the demonstration that proves that Indianapolis can be united in a civic movement the community is indebted to the ceaseless energy and sound thinking of Frank C. Jordan, chairman of the fire prevention committee of the chamber. Mr. Jordan made every one feel that cooperation in this movement was an individual duty and that no one need hesitate because of the possible limit of his individual cooperation. Where personal messages could be used to carry the thought, Mr. Jordan was not content with a letter. When he wrote he did so with the idea of calling for help rather than extending an invitation to participate. There are a lot of individuals in prominent places in Indianapolis who could take some lessons in methods of advancing civic enterprises from Mr. Jordan.

In Conference While the Oriental does almost everything In a manner opposite to the mode which is anticipated, the enlightened statesmen of the East do arrive at a solution of many difficult problems with great common sense. So it is safe to assume that Japan will do that with some questions in which the United States is interested. A colonial conference is soon to be held in Tokio and the policy of Japan to China, Siberia, Korea, Shantung, the Island of Yap and other places will be carefully considered. This is not so noteworthy for any solutions which may be expected to result, but for the consideration that will be given. Presumably the most educated minds will be present. The attitude of the United States will attract considerable attention, for America has spoken very openly, since the days of John Hay and Theodore Roosevelt, and Japan has, with her accustomed protestations of friendship, always been amendable to reason and to public sentiment. In dealing with America. The presence of many Japanese in California and the problems which have arisen, in both nations, on this account, and the various exchanges of notes have all caused some to think that war between the nations is imminent. There is, however, a peaceful solution to every question; war is not necessary and two nations desiring to do right do not need to fear each other. Even a land hungry nation realizes that. When a government begins to call its people into conference, gives publicity to its problems and trusts its citizens to assist in settlement, as has Japan, it is safe to recall the principles of Lincoln about fooling all the people all the time. A nation which will trust its citizens with its problems can be trusted by its neighbors.

Advertising Verily great things are now undertaken and accomplished by newspaper advertising. It Is a wonderful stride from the old circus conglomeration of superlatives to the modern modest but direct assertion of some fact On Mother’s day carnations were sold in New York for a dollar each and an expert grower of that flower hastens to assure the public in an advertisement afterwards, that the accustomed amount was charged. He says a carnation seven to twelve inches across and forming a perfect ball is worth that price. There are advertisements to create atmosphere, and those to state some specific fact; some written by professionals and soma throwing space and money away uselessly. It is an art to use space, to advertise properly and the art is still in its infancy. The most astonishing advertisement is that for the purchase of old false teeth, which appears in some papers. The metal on which the teeth axe built is what is really desired. In the present age the request for a rihild to adopt or to be adopted is not new but may appear peculiar to people of future generations. The old money-to-loan lines of bygone days would look good again.

TWO NOTED PLAYERS JOIN KELLYS New Show at Keith’s—Washburn Due at Circle

Mr. Wallis Clark and Wallace Ford, two well known players on the American stage, have joined the Gregory Kelly Stock Company at English's and will make their first appearances under the Kelly banner on Monday night In the comedy, “Turn to the Klght.” Mr. Clark will be remembered as having one of the chief roles In "Duloy," which Was seen In February at English’s. He has recently left that company when It was closed until fall. Mr. Ford has played an Important part In the play, “Abraham Lincoln’’ for forty-three weeks. He ha3 just left that company. These additional players will no way cause an elimination of the favorlties In the Kelly company. -I- -I- -INEW VAUDEVILLE BILL NOW AT KEITH'S. Every act, as ■well as the moving pictures, on the second summer schedule bill at B. F. Keith’s the last half of the week Is a winner. Not one of them allows a moment’s time to drag. Particularly clever Is the comedy skit by Sliver and Duval Company, entitled "The Star Boarder." Some clever wit, and Just a touch of a clever song, are included In this little playet. # Jack Blnns and Henry Bert are clever in their “strong man" act, and some clever new stunts are on their list of feats. The trick bicycle dancing and the violin and piano music by Hall, Ermine and Brice made a hit In their opening act. Contrary to the almost usual custom, the first act Is one that is Interesting, as well as amusing. Farrell and Carey present this act. To see beautiful pictures made from ‘ rags’ 'is an exception. Mack and Salle keep the audience guessing whether “It is or It isn't.” But the mystery Is dispelled with the close of the act, when the ‘'girl'' proves to be of the "mere male" type The comedy films, which close the bill, bring some good laughs. I- -I- -ITEAI’.LE MOVIE HEALS NEW RIALTO BILL.

Conway Tearle in “The Road of Ambition,” heads the new bill which Is on view at the Rialto today and Saturday. “The Road of Ambition" Is an Ideal vehicle for Mr. Tearle, a* It gives him an opportunity to display his talents In a role (hat has great latitude In the environment and development of the character. He is first seen as Bill Matthews, a husky young foreman in a steel mill. Bijl Is ambitious, and knows how .to use his brain as well as his brawn, although he is sadly handicapped by lack of education. He evolves a method of using waste material and turning it lr.to a valuable by-product, and thus takes hts first big step on “the road of ambition." Overcoming, b- dint of study and application. his Ignorance, he then becomes r powerful fa tor In his field of endeavor. There is . pretty love theme running throughout the story. The vaudeville part of the bill ineludes Finneran and Caproni; P.ayle and Patsy; Click and Bright, and other arts.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

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 meeting at the club had been very interesting and the well known lecturer from the city had given a very clear and logical talk on child psychology although the subject as It had been announced as scientific parenthood had seemed rather “highbrow" to the group of mothers assembled to listen to her. At the close of the address the speaker had requested those present to ask her any questions that might make what she had.j<aid clearer or that might help them to solve any problems that had presented themselves for solution In their own rblldr.n. Recognizing her opportunity Mrs. Hooper put the question bravely though she hoped her neighbors would not suspect that she was personally concerned as to Helen's veracity. “Do all children He?" she asked. “Oh. yes. Indeed.’’ replied the lecturer unhesitatingly; "they most certainly do nnd no problem ot parenthood Is more baffling than that Os children's lies." “But what makes them lie?" Inquired a puzzled woman sitting next to Mrs. Hooper. "There are three general psychological classifications of the lies that children tell.” continued the speaker. "They are Intellectual wanderings from the truth due to natural exaggeration or Imaginings ; emotional Impulses and wilful Intent to deceive. “I suppose you consider the problem of telling the truth a home problem, do you not?" Inquired Mrs. Hooper. “Primarily yes," replied the psychologist, “and a parent's Judgment of any

lie should be based or the motive prompting the deceit and emotional Impulse should always be taken Into account and as often forgiven as punished.” “When you say that all children lie,” continued Mrs. Hooper In a rather Bhoeked voice, "do you mean that they are entirely without the high Ideal* of truthfulness that ail mothers firmly believe their own children at leat possess 7" “That is exactly what I rio not Intend to say," retorted the speaker hastily. “An exhaustive study of large numbers of school children all over tha country proved conclusively that the majority of them do possess high Ideals of truthfulness and that their prevaricating is a perfectly conscious falling away from that ideal. While ail normal children lie a little there is a vast difference between a normal lie and a psychological lie ” “Then it would seera the duty of every mother to thoroughly analyze* the motives of the child when It 1s detected In a falsehood and act accordingly," ventured Mrs. Hooper. "I don't know how In the world you can tell," exclaimed Mrs. Briggs, “who always objected to the Idea of anything new. “It would almost seem that the old fashioned way of just punishing them without any question was the better way.” “It was the simpler way for the parent." replied the lady on the platform, "but it did a great injustice to the child Every mother must face the fact that her own child is not immune." This fart gave Mrs Hooper much comfort ; Heleu was not different from other children, then. “The first step is to gently meet the Issue.” concluded the speaker. "Gain the confidence of the child, as a neeei sury step In remedying the evil. Often kindness and understanding are more potent factors than punishment in bringing about n final correction of the fault.” Mrs. Hooper felt as If she had received Intelligent counsel ns to how to attack the problem with Helen and she determined to analyze the type of falsehood which the child seemed to be developing, ;

and having discovered the reason to act accordingly as the speaker had suggested. “That was some shock to all those mothers to be told so plainly that probably every one of their children told lies," commented the bride as she and Mrs. Hooper walked home from tbe club together, “and I don't blame them buzzing so Indignantly as the meeting broke up. Os course, the woman Is mistaken. The very Idea of Insinuating that children like Helen and Roger and Betty would tell anything but the truth!" “Do you know," said Mrs Hooper, meditatively, “as I look way back in the dim distant past I can recall distinctly when I was about Helen's age of having told a great many lies for various rea> sons.” “Come to think of !t, I believe I did too," acknowledged the bride. “I remember very positively several long seances with my distracted mother that always ended by my being aeverely punished." “It's curious how we forget things, isn't It?" amiled Mrs. Hooper aa she bade the bride goodnight at the front gate. Mrs. Hooper remembered to send her recipe for Corn and Potato Milk Chowder to Mrs. Campbell when she decided to have It for Saturday's dinner. CORN AND POTATO MII.K CHOWDER.
