Telephones—Main 3500, New 28-351 MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. . . . _ „ (Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logao Payne Cos. Advertising offices (New York. Boston, Payne, Burns A Smith. Inc. DOES MR. LEMAUX wish reporters present at that conference for the protection of himself or Samuel Lewis Shank? THAT MAN who wrote for a ''divorce by return mail” must have been reading of the latest marital affairs of our leading picture stars and New York bankers! WHAT has BECOME of the politician who declared it was not the intention of the Republican administration to collect any increased sum from the taxpayers? THOSE who fought the hardest to maintain an organization are now' shouting the loudest that the municipal election is not for the purpose of maintaining organizations! ONE RESULT of the detour off the Pendleton pike is that a number of Indianapolis autoists are going to see FT. Benjamin Harrison and Sunnyside sanitarium for the first time! The Crime of Bernauer The conviction of Carl Bernauer at Shelbyvilla for a murder committed when Bernauer should have been serving time in a penal institution is the most serious Indictment of the “leniency” practiced by Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court that has yet come to public attention. Bernauer was guilty of an offense for which the law provides a reformatory sentence. Judge Collins permitted him to be convicted of a less serious offense, carrying "with it a minor sentence. Whether he ever served that sentence or not is a matter of some dispute, but the fact remains that had he been dealt with as the law stipulates he would not have been at liberty when the murder of which he has row been convicted was committed. Bernauer is Ihe unfortunate product of an extremely weak system of law enforcement, combined with a much touted and miserably exercised “probation system” of doubtful legality and actual menace. What respect he ever had for the law was lost when he appeared before a criminal court too weak to sustain the statutes and learned there how very easy it is for a criminal to escape statutory penalties. The record of Bernauer shows that in spite of the sustained efforts of his father to save him he went steadily from bad to worse, on a road made easier instead of more difficult by Judicial lenity. Today he stands convicted of a cold-blooded murder with th£ prospect of spending the rest of his life In prison. Carl Bernauer is a victim of experimental administration of probation by an administrator wholly unfit to exercise any discretion. Martyrs to Neglect This is the season of broken promises and drowned boys. It is the time of the year when the boys will swim in the dangerous waters of our unguarded streams and the flowery promises of swimming pools as made by the Jewett administration are recalled with a feeling of disgust For now we have the fatalities, just as we have had them for years and we have no swimming pools. Nor are we likely to have swimming pools during the Jewett administration. Year after year, regularly, the authorities have promised us that next season would find bathing facilities where death does not lurk for the unwary. Year after year we have taken count of the fatalities brought about by lack of these facilities and still we have no bathing beaches or pools. Indianapolis has the money with which to provide bathing facilities for young and old. It is spending the cost of the construction of proper pools foolishly every month. But Indianapolis does not have officials who think enough of their public promises to carry them out. Instead we have drowned boys!

Precious Radium! The presence In America of Madam Curie, co-discoverer of radium, naturally excites more interest in her wonderful achievement than ordinarily and the fact that the radium is collected from many tons of ore treated by tons of chemicals, to obtain only a few grains, adds novelty to the scientific achievement. A fortune in radium is so small that recently, in Quincy, 111., a patient swallowed some amounting to six thousand dollars, which had to be removed by surgeons cutting Into the stomach. There Is another record of a patient throwing about fifteen thousand dollars’ worth into a sewer, because its application, to cure a cancer, irritated his skin. The sewer was dug up and luckily the radium was found. So strong are the eminations from a little radium that it must be kept in specially constructed containers, or it will burn anything with which it comes in contact even through glass. Like riches radium seems to take flight whenever possible. Recently some was lost in an elevated railway train in Chicago and a big reward Is offered for its recovery. The entire scientific world is working to apply this discovery to destroy cancer, and Madam Curie will use the hundred thousand dollars gift which friends are presenting to her, to study along these lines. Great things are expected in the application of radium but it will be a long time before it will be carried about in the pocket of any one. It is one of the things in life more precious than gold. Homes We Must Have It is said that in the years 1919 and 1920, there v/ere as many as nine marriage permits issued in certain localities to one permit to erect a house. This means that some who desire and deserve a home, In which to be comfortable, must go w inout. All the figures, however, do not solve the burning question of housing a populace. Nor does unemployment relieve the pub ic from consequences wh’ch follow as night the day, from the unnatural condition arising out of such a state of affairs. it is true that in some cities devoted to peculiar industries which have not been producing recently, there are houses to rent. As soon as the factories resume work, the old shortage will again reappear, for families which went somewhere, when the head was unemployed, will return. Where they went during unemployment no one can explain Normally there is always a demand for houses, the ratio being 110 families for 100 homes, with structures burning, deteriorating and torn down almost as rapidly as built It will require a million houses, built in the next few years, to approximate this,, let alone the demand caused by increase in population. Indianapolis will, when normal, employ over 35,000 more operators tl an heretofore. In factories building or ready to operate. Where they will live is unknown. " The happiness of a nation is in its contented citizens, but no one can be contented without a comfortable place for the family to live. From the Past The lo\e of antiques continues manifest and so long as it is present, advantages are taken of people who have money to make collections. A recent incident in Brooklyn occurred, showing what one may expect. Two Mexicans sold a piece of clay, represented to be an original Aztecs Calendar, for $3,600. It proved that the clay was worth about 35 cents, while the original is held in the National Museum of Mexico and is valued at a million dollars. The genuine weighs fifty tons. The vendors of this worthless sample are under arrest. Mexico is so rich in ancient curio, made by people lost to history, that a piece of an authentic calendar would indeed be of value to a scientist or a lover of almost forgotten folk lore. If any one could discover a writing in Indiana w£Jch would disclose somethin??of the builders of the numerous mounds to be found in the State, a sure reward would be realized. Perhaps in ages frc*i now T , an equally strong charm will hover over things of today. There are historical societies which are collecting anything and everything which will shed real light on the thought of yesterday and will tell the tale of men’s lives in the past. Paintings, works of art or great utility, and books are all prized by the antiquarian. They all carry a message To him though others may not see or interpret It.

EVEN THE PUMP ACTS WELL IN ‘TURN TO THE RIGHT Bowker Is a Daddy—Hunting Act at Lyri. -Summer Bill at Keith’s

The pump used in Mrs. Baseom’s kitchen in “Turn to the Bight” gave real water last night. When Gregory Kelly and Wallis Clark pumped this old-fashioned pump at Knglisb's last night, real water came a runnin' right out of the spout. The audience gave signs of approval of this little bit of realism. It was in the last aft, when an automobile effect is obtained, that the audience signified its approval in a definite manner. "Turn to the Right,” as done by the Kelly's last night, is a good hot weather tonic. One of the largest hot weather audiences of the season was on hand to take a whiff of Mother Bascom s Jam. Every one knows the story of the play, so I will not repeat it. Last night was very interesting because it marked the first appearances of Wallis Clark and Wallace Ford as members of the Kelly Company. Mr. Ford was seen last night as Joe Baseom and Mr. Clark was Gilly. Mr. Kelly was cast as Muggs. The audience “took" to both Mr. Ford and Mr. Clark. If I am not mistaken. Mr. Clark is going to take his place side by side with the four favorites of the company—the Kellys, Angela Ogden and Byron Beasley. Miss Ogden has the famous old fashioned mother role in this comedy of jam, crooks, love and reform. The first act of the play gives Miss Ogden, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Clark and Mr. Ford a great comedy chance and the quartette does a wonderful Job of putting over the comedy. Oh, yes, don’t get excited, Kuth Gordon is just as sweet ar.d satisfying as she was last week although she hasn’t nearly as much to do. She is cast as Betty Baseom. One of the enjoyable characterisations last night was the work of Willard Barton as Sam Martin. His work in the last act being of high quality. ..Grace Hayle in Jessie Strong and c nice job she does of it. Byron Beasley is ideally cast as the mean old Deacon TUllnger who wants to swipe the orclia/d from Mother Baseom. Rest of the cast is satisfactory. This comedy hag been carefully and beautifully mounted. Ko careful has the management been with detail that real water comes from the pump and the jam has a peach flavor. A visit to English’s this week will be mighty enjoyable. I am sure. “Turn to the Right” is on view all week at English's.—W. D. 11. -I- -1- -IBOWKER IS A DADDY AT THE MURAT THIS WEEK.

Aldrich Bowker is a daddy this week, daddy of a precocious child who insists on reading about a “C-O-W, cow.” The child is Eugenie Chapel. It happens in Stuart Walker's production of John Hobble’s “Daddies." The pair are easily the funniest thing seen in this summer’s stock seaso* and, if slang may be permitted, they are some pair, take it from us. The two are a large part and tbe most Interesting part of thi show, although the ostensibly leading narts are taken by George Gaul and Regi ta Wallace. The whole affair hinges around a bachelors’ club in which the bachelors feel themselves slipping. An old college friend of the bachelors is /killed In France, leaving a small daughter. The proposal that one of their number adopt ..er brings about the rassage of a resolution that each member adopt an orphan; that is, each member with the exception of William Rivers, played by John Wray, who has already backslid den. The agreement reached, the trouble begins. James Crocket (Aldrich Bowker) reluctantly agrees to accept a boy, but it turns out to be the precocious girl. Henry Allen (George Somnes) “gets bis" In the form of triplets Nicholas Walters (James Morgan) takes the orphan who originally started the affair. But Robert Audrey (George Gaul) receives the surprise of his life. Suffice It to say, he marries bis orphan in the end. The entire production, mostly mt;re or less boisterous comedy, but not without a touch here and there of pathos, Is exceptionally well played. As said before, the acting of Mr. Bowker and little Miss Chapel stands oht from the rest. Splendid work Is also done by Mr. Gaul and Miss Wallace. Besides those already mentioned, the cast includes Judith Lowry, Helen Burch, Robert McGroarty, Grace Kiechle, Martha Jane Baker, Sarajane Wells, Clariee KerchlveL Elise Gibson. Domthy McDonald and Julia McMahon. -1- -1- -I’NOT HER simmer brl ON VIEW AT KEITH’S. The summer idea is carried out at Keith's the first half of the week by the first set on the new bill.

BY REQUEST

#T3p i ; v

GREGORY KELLY. Last week a request was made by a Times' reader for a picture of Gregory Kelly with a hat on. To accommorate us, Kelly had to dig up a winter picture, and here it is—hat, cane, overcoat and all. Mr. Kelly is playing the role of Muggs in “Turn to the Right," at English's this week.

Is a big relief. His songs have been carefully chosen. The Grace La Rue impression Is the best. Grace Cameron has some funny Ideas. She first appears as a news girl. The remark about “the cold” Is in bad tuste and lowers the entire tone of the act of this woman who has ability. It is difficult to understand why she resorts to such common remarks. She hits her stride in a number called “Broadway Would Be Wild Over Me,” or something like that. Duke Rogers could do some real dancing if he would not pay so much attention to the hot wave. This team could hold up the show, but somehow they failed to*get over yesterday afternoon. The applause winner of the bill 1s Jennings and Mack In some chatter, melody and talk about a taxi. The show closes with Roode and Francis. The man of the team Is clever In his wire stunts. At B. F. Keith's today and Wednesday. -1- -I- -I--LABT WEEK OF VAUDEVILLE NOW OX VIEW AT LOEWS. Loew’s State will become a feature tpovle house on next Sunday afternoon, < pening with the Paramount offering, "Deception.” A combination vaudeville and movie bill Is now on vjew at Loew’s and anew bill will be offered Thursday and for the following three days. The movie for the first half of the week is “Lure of Youth,” which Is best explained as being a drama In which a woman thinks more of her art than of her home and husband. The current vaudeville bill Is essentially of a hot weather Datura. It Is light entertainment. Stanley Brothers, billed as gymnasts, have a neat offering, In which one of the men of the team demonstrates that his teeth and neck can not easily be broken. A rope Is sttarhed to a post tnd the ether end to held firmly between his teeth. v Tbe other man of the team then proceeds to do a “wire” act on the rope so held by the poet and the man. Evans Lloy-1 and Grace Whltehouse are exponents t travesty. Their offering Is.light and at times noisy. They close their ottering with a travesty on grand opera. Neal Barrett and company are presenting “Tho Rounder of Old Broadway." an act not new to Indianapolis, In which some typical Broadway characters are Introduced. Tho Irish cop portrayal and the old-fashioned actor are tho best. Tho bill Includes Paramo, harmonist, and Blauche Franklyr. and Nat. Vlncont, who ore tho authors of some popular songs. -I- -I- -ISO.MK OLD-TIMERS NOW OX VIEW AT LYRIC. One has tho Impression after seeing the present show at the Lyric that one has renewed toms old acquaintances. And a good feeling is tho result. Trank Stafford, with-his ability to mimic blrJs and about everything else, In addition to his hunting dog and pretty woodland set. Is tho dblef offering. The reviewer has seen Stafford on tho popular vaudeville circuit many times. Stafford bn* a pretty offering and It 1 different from anything offered on the stage. His whistling numbers are well dono. Than thero is Roach and McCurdy, who compose another tiara of standard comedy worth. The old man characterization Is indeed a rare bit of work. There

is a little pathos to this act, but a Joke chases the frown away. The children will be most Interested in Gillett's Country Village, In wMch monkeys and dogs are dressed up like human beings. They enact an entire sketch with no human being In sight to direct them. Wamsley and Keating have for years been offering a nut offering with satisfactory results. The man of this team Is a clever comic. This team holds up the show. The bill Includes Christopher and Walton in “A Close Shave,” the Heynoffa in dances, Speaker Lewis In “Topical Talks of Today” and Grace Webb and company In “A Pharmacy Fantasy." A Fox film comedy, called “The Meal Ticket’* makes up the movie part of the bill. At the Lyric all week. -I- -I- -ITALMADGE MOVIE OX VIEW AT RIALTO. The latest Constance Talmadge movie, “Lessons in Love,” makes up the movie feature of the current bill at the Rialto. In this movie the star is first caßt as the daughter of a rich family. She is indeed most difficult to trajjj because she believes that a young person should marry whom she loves. Connie becomes parlor maid in her own home to discover if the man she Is expected to marry is a man whom she could learn to love. Needless to say, Connie discovers that she not only can learn to love him but that she is “wild” over him. This is light fun for this Interesting little film person. The vaudeville part of the bill Includes Hart* and Evans, In singing and dancing numbers; Bertie Fowler, who entertains with songs and stories and a sketch called “Will She Win,” in which songs and dances are offered. The bill at the R.alto changes Thursday. -I- -1- -1AT TIIK BROADWAY. The Broadway for the first half of the week is offering the usual number of vaudeville acts as well as the movies. The show is opened by Davis, who performs on a tight wire. Oliver and Lee offer a mu ileal affair, in which the Hawaiian ukelele Is one of the prominent and popular instruments used. Saxon and Griffith, who make np a team of two men and two women, appear In a comedy sketch. Clifton and Kramer confine their efforts to a sketch called, “Mr. Larson, the Swede.” Special scenery la carried for this act. Mason and Daane are entertainers. Otto, Bozzo and Otto appear under the title of “Entertaining the Baby.” Cabaret entertainers and a Fatty Ar buckle comedy complete the bill.

OX THE MOVIE SCREEN. The following movies are on view today: “The Road to London,” In addition to Bryant Washburn in person, at the Circle; "Burled Treasure,” at the Ohio; “A Small Town Idol” at the Colonial; “Two Weeks with Pay” at the Alhambra; "A Thousand to One” at the Regent; "The 110 l of the North” and a Chaplin comedy at the Isis. LEADERS WORK ON GENERAL TARIFF Hope to Have Bill Ready to Report Early in June. WASHINGTON, May !V.--Congress leaders are working night a-id day to have tho general tar ff bill ready for report to the House early tr. June. Then the tax revision bill will remain to be disposed of before the congressmen can flpe from Washington’s summer weather. Delays seem uftavoidable, however. The miscalculation of the leaders on speedy passage of £he emergency tariff bill demonstrate his. They thought It would go through In a week. Instead It took two and a 1 tlf months. The emergency tariff Is now before President Harding for signature.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. . By David Cory. ’ CHAPTER CCCXLIV. You remember in the last story we left •ff where Puss Junior stubbed hts toe on a gold nail In the floor of the stately castle. And then a man with three feathers In his cap Jumped out from behind a velvet curtain twenty feet long. “They tell me the King Is looking for a throne boy ” repeated little Puss Junior. Mr. Three 1 would like to be a throne boy." ' Now the man was so angry at being called "Mr. Three Feathers” that he took little Puss Junior by the’collar and began running him out of the castle. But Just then a man with four feathers called out, “What are you doing with that cat? What does he want?” “He wishes to be a throne boy," said Mr. Three Feathers. “He might Just-tickle the fancy of the king.” said Mr. ?our Feathers, and then he told Puss to follow him. And pretty soon they came to the King, who was seated on his beautiful crimson throne. And as soon, as he saw Puss he began to smile. So Pus* was hired to be the throne boy and was given a beautiful court dress, with little gold slippers, but you may be sure he kept his seven-league boots locked up In the closet of his room, which was In ono of the turrets of the stately castle. Well, Puts did everything as well as be could, and the King was so pleased that he patted his head very often, and gave him a gold piece every week. And after a while Puss had so many gold piece's that he said to the King one day. “Where shall I put my gold pieces?" So the King gave him an Ivoryhandled spade and an apple tree in his own private garden, where he might dig a hole under to bury hi* gold-, pieces. Well, after Puss had lived in the palace a very long time the said to him one day, “As I find that you are one to be trusted, I shall employ yon to go on a long Journey.” And In the next story you shall hear what little Puss Junior" did after that.—Copyright, 1921.

TUESDAY. .. 1 With the washing machine Installed and ready to be put to the test, Mrs. Hooper descended to the laundry after Henry had departed for the city and the children had gone to school. She marveled that women had gone on so long depending on the application of a hard cake of soap and the rubbing and pounding on a board to cleanse their clothes when science has shown that the same cake of soap If dissolved will remove grease and dirt at least two-fifths more thoroughly. Her first step toward using the new machine was to make a soapy solution of dissolved soap from powdered soap, which she was told must not be confused with washing powders. For her white clothes, she took six ounces of powdered soap (or she could have used one bar of soap), one gallon of hot water and one pound of washing soda. . She disj solved the soap in hot water, added the 1 soda crystals and continued heating It until it was perfectly clear. She used one cupful of this solution to each “load” of clothes. For the eolored pieces, she omitted the soda and used only the dissolved soap. '~s’or the flannels, she used the best white soap In solution in the proportion of four quarts of water to one large bar of soap to which two tablespoons of borax had been added. Os this solution, she also used one cupful to each load.

For the first time In all the years she had been doing her washing at home she '■ found that the process of soaking the clothes was unnecessary, but she divided the clothing in separate piles as she alway had done—table, bed and body linen, colored, flannels and stockings. Sh* then filled the washing machine to tho water line with lukewarm water, added one cupful of soap solution for the white clothes and operated the washer for two minutes until heavy suds were formed. She then added the white pieces one by one, beginning with the table linen, sufficient to mnke one load. She then operated this load for ten minutes, which was sufficient for clothes no more soiled than the Hooper family linen usually become. She then wrung the first load into her empty set tub and then added the bed linen and white pieces to the ’ wash water sufficient to nake load two. As the water didn't seem to be sufficiently sudsy, she added another half-cup of the soap solution and operated the machine for fifteen minutes. Wringing load number two into the same tub with load one, she found that the temperature of tbe water had fallen below 110 degrees, so she removed a pail of suds and replaced it with hot water before putting in load three and added another capful of soap solution. Load three finished all the white clothes and after the machine was operated fifteen minutes and the clothes wrung into the tub with load one and two, she drained off the water, rinsed the machine and filled It with fresh, clear hot water as nearly scalding as possible. Then she put in all the pieces from the set tub, rinsing them In the machine. She operated each rinse load about five minutes and filling her second set tub with cool blue water, aha wrung each rinse load from the wringer direct Into the blue rinse. She then rewrung from the bine water Into the ; basket while the washer was operating some of the rinse loads, thus wringing and rinsing at the same time. At the end of the rinsing she drained off the water and prepared for the flannel load, using fresh lukewarm water and tho white soap solution. While the flannel load was operating for twenty mlnuteo. she hung out the white clothes. The flannels were rinsed la the machine for five minutes, two tablespoonsful of borax being added to the water to clear up the wools. The colored load followed the flannel* and was washed In the same water, be- j lag operated for fifteen minutes snd rinsed in clear water. The black stockings formed a separate load. Betty’s and Helen’s white stockings had been washed with the white load, and Roger’s tan and colored sacks ; which she was afraid might “bleed” were done by themselves. By 11 o'clock the clothes were all out on, the lines and Mrs. Hooper felt as if she had done no work at all. “Weil, how did the washing machine act?" was Henry’s first Inquiry when he reached homeN“Perfeetly satisfactory,” replied Mr*, nooper. “In fact It Is everything I anticipated and more. It -does the work so efficiently and with so little demand on my physical strength that It seeima unbelievable that the washing has really been done today. It Is even an Improvement on faithful old Martha who was the most wonderful laundress In the world, as you know, but she used to talk all the time she was working, and the machine is silent while It washes.” g The menu for the three meals onj Wednesday Is: 1 BREAKFAST.

Kindly explain what is meant by the following sentence: “Christmas is universally a dies non.” J. F. A. This is an abbreviation of “dies non Juridicus." a phrase meaning ‘‘not a court day,” that is. a day on which the courts cannot lawfully administer Justice. Tho actual suspension of the operation of Justice gives Christmas the character of a dies non.
