THOSE CHANGES in tax assessments indicate that even the State Loard is willing to admit that it was not infallible, now! ■ but the city council does not apear to have promised to adopt any particular method of regulating jitneys in favor of the street car company! THEY ARE going to cut oft the miners’ cigarettes over in England in an effort to settle the coal strike. All the miners we ever saw smoked pipes. SANITARY board claims it saved $225,000 on certain equipment purcoases by waiting a year. Better wait another year and maybe they can get it for nothing. HOWEVER, no one can successfully challenge the right of a voter to change his political affiliations at the election in November and a lot of voters know it, too! THERE IS a growing sentiment to the effect that the Republican precinct committeemen have a right to oust a chairman who has publicly announced an unwillingness to support his party’s nominee! IT APPEARS to be the intention of the State to locate the new reformatory about twenty miles “adjacent” to the penal farm, thus demonstrating the elasticity of the English language when the attorney general gets through stretching it! Our Paternalistic Government / Having failed, through the grace of the Republican voters of Indianapolis, to obtain either an indorsement or a promise of continuance of Itself, the Jewett administration appears to have adopted a paternalistic attitude toward the citizens of Indianapolis and is now telling them, by means of board orders, what they may or may not do. The sanitary board is prescribing regulations for the care of garbage which it appears willing to collect, even if each individual piece is not wrapped in tinfoil. The board of health is preparing to prescribe the manner in which milk must be served at the festive lunch counter. The board of parks is promulgating strong restrictions as to where and whfn one may bathe. The board of safety is endeavoring to draft an air-tight ordinance prescribing where the autoist may drive and park his car. In fact, all along the line, the chief ambition of the administration members appears to be to revive regulations that were once summed up in another country under the term “verboten.” Mayor Jewett himself has not only gone to extreme lengths reecntly to tell the Republican party what it should do about the coming election, but he is now attempting to put pressure on those gentlemen who seem to feel that when the Legislature provided for a referendum regarding the war memorial it Intended that -some mere citizens were to have a voice in the affair. It has always been our theory that the people of Indianapolis were fairly well capable of governing themselves wlttf&ut extensive "fathering.” It seems to us that recently they have shown a resentment of the efforts of certain self-appointed guardians to control them politically and we are quite certain that there still xist3 in the minds of a majority a sort of a theory that public officials are public servants rather than public managers. We do not know, of course, whether the Jewett administration will ever awaken to the fact that it is “in bad” with the people of Indianapolis, but it seems now apparent that such an awakening will not come in time to permit of any constructive efforts on its part. And in the absence cf any constructive plans for the betterment of Indianapolis It would appear that the outgoing administration is trying '.6 itself in the limelight by originating just as many irksome regulations feels capable of saddling on the public. v Neglected Education There was a time when the presence of a goodly number of fowls w-as not only a mark of thrift, but insured something to eat that today is regarded as a delicacy, be it a fresh egg or a chicken dinner, but news items indicate that dangers lurk in the w-ay and those pitfalls are not because of the tearing up of the neighbors’ flowers or gardens, either. Recently, it was reported that a man in Waukegan, 111., was sued for keeping a rooster with a vicious disposition, as that animal flew at a 5-year-old child and destroyed one of the child’s eyes. The owner will be asked $20,000 in damages. This belligerency, with its attendant results, certainly dampens the ardor of those admirers of the Indian village whose squaws raised more roosters than hens because they looked so much nicer in their feathers. Even turkeys do not escape public notice. At Corydon, Ind., recently a law suit took two days, cost the county over SSO and mulct each litigant much more, to determine which of two brown turkeys the plaintiff owneJ. Damages in the amount of 1 cent were awarded to the plaintiff, and it is supposed the turkey went to the right party. Incidentally, too, it must be remarked that this occurred in the ancient city which formerly was the capital of Indiana and that the first woman jury of that county tried the case. What it would have resulted in had the jury arisen in some part of the State not so old nor staid and if a jury of men had tried it can only be remotely guessed. \ In the development of science, man has learned to hatch chickens and turkeys, so that possibly there is some excuse for these orphan animals which have made so much troubfe. Without a mother to teach them good manners they just grew, like Topsy, and devoid of the proper training such as a good old hen could impart, they acquired bad manners and the ability to set neighbor against neighbor, much to the detriment of the peace and dignity of the State and to the cost for court and counsel. The Governor of this State might go to Springfield, 111., which is the capital of that State, consult with the Governor over there and jointly they might appoint a board cr commission to inquire into the evil influence of incubators. If it is possible to teach real feathered chickens good manners, a law should be enacted soon authorizing it. Or, on failure to do this, Congress might be memoralized to include such a course in the pamphlets and lectures of the proposed new department of education. Anyhow, some of the maternity laws which the taxpayers and corporations seem destined to pay for, when they become operative, should require an inquiry into the evil and provide lecturers to y it. Carelessness It is evident that pedestrians on the busy streets of Indianapolis do not observe the signals of the traffic police any more than those who cross railroads at dangerous points stop, look and listen, or even look and listen, as it legally required of them. If there exists any doubt of the failure of the public properly to care for itself, read the papers Mondaj and note the accidents of Sunday, or stand on a busy corner and watch. Yet the faithful policeman is there and the watchman has signaled at the railroad crossing. There is an element about human nature which is good, but it works hardship unless applied properly. It is that of taking a chance. The man at the railroad takes it and the pedestrian assumes risks that are well guarded against, if he would but pause and observe. It Is much easier, when going over a busy street, to observe the sign of the traffic and to go with the traffic, for then, at least, one side of the street will be clear and by keeping the head, the other side may be easily negotiated. “ It is safe to assume that no automobile driver will run down any one purposely. On the other hand, it seems at times that there are some whd will walk Into danger without thought. It is observed that since markers were placed on the Circle in Indianapolis, no lives have been lost there. It is also evident that at certain corners, where traffic is complex, and where avenues intercept comers, every one is on the lookout and seemingly all are safe. But every one there observes the traffic regulation.

IN ‘DECEPTION ’ HENRY VIII WAS A MALE VAMP Lloyd Exhibits His B. V. Da—Ray Fights Well—Arbuckle Is Funny

Henry VIII, King of England, was the original malt vamp. ETtn the female vamps of other days in history could have learned a lesson or two from King a, •/? Henry if the story . -WgJv’YN BB unfolded in the movie. "Deception, ’’ yjy • ♦' Is historically true. pression after seeing "Deception.” a movie, which opened a limited engagement at x Loew’s Theater yes- ' I have given this Henny Porten. movie much thought and I am handling it from the standpoint of its worth as movie entertainment, and not as propaganda or as a historical document. “Deception" Is a German made film and so was “Passion.” Emil .Tannings, who played the role of the French Louis in “Passion,” plays the leading role in “Deception.” “Deception” Is being distributed and presented in this country as a Paramount picture, which is a true American i’.stitution In the film world. Personally, there isn’t a scene either in “Passion” or in “Deception" which worried me a least bit from a propaganda standpoint. I have studied French history as well as English, and the love affairs of King Henry VIII of England, or Louis’ passion for Du Parry, never worried me lp the least. Just because those two nations at certain periods of their history had weaklings foj kings who thought more of a pretty face and a nifty female ankle, never Impressed me as propaganda. In the history of Ger-, many there are examples of the same sort of stuff. , To me “Deception” Is a tnarvtflnnsly produced movie drama rich in detail, wonderful in imagination and wealthy In character acting. I firmly believe in honest criticism and the truth la, according to all the rules that I use 1n movie criticism, “Deception” is a most skillfully produced and directed picture. According to "Deception," Henry VIII was a gay old boy, and I am quite sure that If the Follies had been thought of j In the days when.that old boy was king. : Zlegfeld would have been forced to hare giren several hundred command perform- j ances. Henry In this movie goes wild over a pretty face, and I am unable to see bow he managed to hold on to the unattractive Queen Catherine so many years before he divorced her In defiance to the church Henry’s eye one day saw the dainty skirt of Anne Boleyn caught In a door. When he saw her face he then and there decided that Catherine should vacate the throne in favor of Anne. After several powerful scenes. Catherine rides ont of England in a coach which reminds one of a water wagon. While Catherine is stirring up the dust getting out of London to her place of exile. Henry is having Anne crowned as Queen. Henry must have bad a good press agent, because he “forced’ tils peo pie. according to the movie, to understand that he married Anne for the purpose of giving his people a male heir to the throne. Anne Instead presents him with a daughter and immediately Henry starts a scandalous flirtation with Jane Seymour, a lady in waiting to the queen. Henry “frames up” on Anne and the last we s*e of Anne she is walking with the her way to the death chamber in the Tower of London, The last flash we have of King Henry he is ordering a ceremony which will make Jane Seymour his queen. Henry Porten is cast as Anne and Emil Jannings is King Henry VIII. In fact, the entire cast ia effective In every scene. The mob scene is powerfully handled and the entire movie is hooked together in such a way that the entire result is a virid. colorful and powerful drama in which the champion male vamp plays the royal cards for the purpose of finding anew queen. Henny Porten appears to have brought to the stage a training which required years to obtain. Her worjf at the time Henry refuses to come to her after the birth of a daughter and again ns she Is led to the death chamber, la of the finest dramatic quality. * Her work on the screen reminds one of the best work done by B-rtha Kalich on the English speaking stage. Hennr Porten never overacts —she lives the part of Anne Boleyn. The work of Emil J-annings ns King Henry is so realistically rendered that one will remember this protrayal for a long time withont forgetting either the actor of the character impersonated. Jannlnga ia every inch a king every minute he is on the screen. At times he causes the spectator to howl with laughter when he attempts to "ditch” a queen for another favorite. From a scenic standpoint, the skilled workmanship of the director is be>t seen. The coronation Rcene is an achievement in effectively handling a mob. Each scene is massive and as far as I could determine was historically correct in every detail to the time period of the action of this movio drama. Another striking and masterfully handled scene Is the ancient tournament. I have attempted to tell the reader what is offered in “Deception.” It is merely an episode in the life of an English king who is credited with being the champion male vampire of the ages. Neither did “Deception” shock mo nor did the story disgust me. From a standpoint of movie architecture It is one of the best examples of skillfull acting and directing I have ever seen. And I also had many a good laugh during the time Henry was chasing an old qneen off of the throne for anew one. The idea isn’t so funny but the way this movie Henry does it in "Deception." it is as funny as Chaplin ever dared to be. Based solely upon Its merits as entertainment, “Deception’’ Is the king bee of the vnmpire movies. At Loew's State all week.—W. D. H. -I- -|- -I. LLOYD LATEST MOVIE IS POLITE AND FAST COMEDY. Harold Lloyd, the comedian with the shell-rimmed glasses, has departed from the beaten comedy track in “Among Those Present” and has produced a movie which is much different from his other comedies. “Among Those Present” might properly be called a polite farce as its action belongs to this class of entertainment at j times instead of straight comedy. Lloyd Is a bellhop in a swell hotel and ! being a clever person Is able to itnper- ; sonatc correctly all of the half-baked society fellows who hang around- the ! lounge and smoking rooms of the hotel. j One of the spineless creatures In this society play is i certain Lord Algy, one of those imposs.ble creatures, all style and no brains. Even at that, the Lord is considered a regular “cut-up” at week-end parties In the homes of thq rich. The Lord refuses to accept an invitation to attend a week-end party of ad Irish woman who has suddenly become newly rich. She has wonderful homes and the like, hut her society training would fit her to be a kitchen mechanic. Her husband and daughter are pure Irish and love Roclety like a dog ’ “loves" a cat.

CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG AND A DUMMY

ft • -r: ' y r ■' .- ;. V .. . and

Here is Clara Kimball Young at he side of a “dummy" used in dressmaking shops to display female garments. The above picture is a scene from Clam Kimball Young's latest movie, "Hush,’’ which is on view at the Colonial all week.

sojiffte the grand gentleman. This gives Lloyd one of the best comedy and farcical chances he has had for many months. His description of the way Lord Algy hunts big game (rabbits) is a delicious bit of fooling. Lloyd will convulse you, as he paints a glowing picture, with the aid of something stronger than water, of a bear hunt. The bell boy gets away with the "lord" stuff until the hostess announces that Lord Algy will ride Dynamite, the most uncontrollable horse that ever kicked a stable door to pieces. These scenes with tile lively Dynamite are further examples of polite fun. It Is during these scenes that Lloyd looses his trousers and is forced to parade about in bis B. V. D.s or in a sack. In the end Lloyd tells the truth concerning his Identity and wins the pretty daughter of his hostess. The complete east of "Among Those Present” is as follows: The Bov Harold I.loyd The Girl Mildred Davis Her Mother Aggie Herring Her Father James Ketlv The Socletv Pilot Vera White The “Hard" Boiled Par’y" William Gillespie The Place: Socletv s outer crust, where the Want-to-be's and the Would-be's shako hands with the N'ev, * •■•111 he's. The bill also includes “The Call, of. Youth." which is a conventional English love affair. The Lloyd comedy and “The Call of Youth" makes up the double bill which Is on view all week at the Ohio.—W. D. 11. YOC FASS i r A TREAT IF YOU MISS “SCRAP IRON." It is easy to be enthusiastic over Charlie Hay’s latest contribution to the silver screen. It Is called “Scrap Iron” and In this movie Ray stages one of the best fights ever produced before the movie camera. Ail readers of the Saturday Evening Tost are well informed of the career of Johnny, a steel i mill worker, with Suddenly “Scrap W J” on refuses to fight any more decide has promised his Chat lie Ray, again. Os course we all know that the lad breaks his promise with his mother and puts on the' gloves for a final fight In order to get funds to take his mother to Florida. Now. gentle reader, this fight is not one of those milk and water affairs seen so often in movie drama. It is the real article. Ray shows that if he ever wants to give up movie acting, he could land many a knockout in the ring. The way that the suspense is worked up is a fine tribute to American direction. The spectator gets highly worked up over the outcome of the fight. Then the mother of “Scrap Iron” Johnny becomes dangerously ill in his absence. Mixed with that suspense is the nasty attitude of the man who, boxes “Scrap Iron." Then there ts a love element of interest as Johnny's girl 'jas turned hlin down “cold" for his boxing opponent. The director has intelligently handled these three human elements and the result Is an overwhelming emotional strain on the spectator. If the man who sits next to you gets excited during the fight scenes, don’t get nlarmed because you will probably yell with Joy when “Scrap Iron’’ Johnny refuses to make up with his girl after the fight. “Scrap Iron" takea his mother to Florida and the girl slates between her “chews” of chewing gum that there “nre a lot of fine fish In the sea that never has been landed.’ Ray must have gone into somebody’s fighting eatnp to get the ringside types. Ray has the prize collection of fight fan types in this movie. Opinion: “Scrap Iron" is a redblooded American story, full of iron and nerve and chucked full of the suspense stuff which makes oi.e want to yell in order to get rid of the emotional steam created in the big scenes. I do not hesitate in saying that Ray has his most human role as “Scrap Iron” Johnny. Don't pass up “Scrap Iron" at the Ctrcle this week if you want to see the real goods. At the Circle all week.—W.

FATTY ARBI'CKLE AT THE ISIS. Fntty foiled the villain anJ married the heroine just as ha used to do in comedy. He does It in a serious that is even more enjoyable than his former pictures were. Fatty Arbuekle, at the Isis this week, in “The Traveling Salesman,” supplies us with quite a hit of humor that is the more appreciated as it is under disguise. ■\Ve didn’t got the name of his leading lady, but lived up to our idea as to what Arbuckle's leading lady should be. A good actress herself, she makes a very presentable partner for Fatty. As to the play, it would have been rather commonplace in any ( other hands than those of Fatty. He has a part that could be subordinate to the story, but he does not try to hide his light under a bushel. He takes the limelight and gave us more laughing to do than we really wanted to do. A traveling salesman, a confirmed woman-hater, is stranded in a country town. He falls in love with the first .gisl -be gees, and saves her for-

tune from some unscrupulous ge lenten. The plot is not very heavy, be,, we were on the edge of our seat part of the time. For a while It looked as though Fatty would not get to save the heroine. Toward the end, the action speeds up, and after a little comical work, Fatty evidently sees that the story Is running away with him, and steps in to the rescue In the nick of time. Opinion—This Is a play that will let you enjoy yourself and forget the heat. Fatty seems to be having a good time in making an enjoyable play. At the Isis all this week. CORINNE AND MIAMI SIX APPEAR ON BILL AT ALHAMBRA. For the first half of the week a triple bill is being offered at the Alhambra. The movie feature Is Corinne Griffith in “What's Your Reputation Worth?" aud the Miami Six, singing Instrumentalists, are another feature. The bill also in eludes a Vanity comedy, "Mind Y’our Business.” The Miami Six are players of the melodies which are whistled today. This organization succeeds the Sherwoods, who have been at the Alhambra for a number of weeks. The Sherwoods are now on tour. The story of “What’s Your Reputation Worth?” concerns a stenographer who secretly love her employer, who li married to a wife who cannot be pieased The wife’s aim In life appears to be to compel her husband to Institute divorce proceedings. The little stenog wants to aid him and agrees to be the “woman” In the case. Os course, she is innocent of any wrong doing, but as expected the husoand discovers that he is actually tn love with his little ste/tographer. Os course the little stenographer runs Into some tough luck, but she does not suffer long, bocause the divorce courts untie the first knot, leaving the stenog and her boss free to marry. The principal roles are played by Corinne Griffith and Percy Marmont. As the story has a wrong basis, that of divorce. it misses fire, as neither the heroine nor the hero are on firm ground. The acting is satisfactorv. At the Alhambra the first half of the week. ’-!- -I- -I* AT THE REGENT. This week’s offering at the Regent is Doug Fairbanks in “Th Mollycoddle." a comedy, which has been reviewed tn this department. -I- -I- -I----ON VIEW TODAY.

Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily 'n an interesting review of t-elf home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living rUi them.) , MONDAY. As Mrs. Hooper Intended to give the dining room the same thorough overhalulng on Saturday that she had given the living room last week, she made particular note during her inspection this morning as to what she would need to freshen and brighten it up for the summer as wei! as checking up what would be necessary in the way of repairs. The dining room was not a large room, but it had the morning sun that beamed in pleasantly through the three big windows, outside of each one of which was .a trim window-box now blossoming with rosepink ivy geraniums that had succeeded the pansies that had filled them last month. Even with a garden of generous proportions, Mrs. Hooper was as keen about window boxes as a decorative feature of the house as though she were living in an apartment in the city. The curtains were inexpensive, white marquisette with the hemstitching that finished their lower edge done in old blue mercerized cotton, and she noted that they needed only to be laundered and returned to their places. They had been made last summer and washed frequently at home so they looked as if It might be several years before they would need to be replaced. But the shades on the lower edges were very worn form much pulling up and down by the children. After looking them over carefully, she decided that new ones would not be necessary if she had Roger take them off the rollers and tack them on tfgaln carefully upside down. upper part was perfectly good, the damaged portion would be always rolled at the top, and the hemming of the lower edge she could do very easl’y on her machine. Fortunately they had been a good quality of linen when they were bought years ago, and the hemming would be perfectly possible, without tearing. TW floor of the dining room was pine, and the finish she used on it she made i and applied herself, so that not much would have to be expended for that. The dining room table chairs (two of which she noted needed Roger's attention Jn tightening up the rongs), a j serving table and a built-in chest of [ drawers, with an old blue and gray rug, comprised the furnishing of the dining room and while nothing was mnrred or roughened by 111 usage, each piece of furniture would have to be gone over carefully on Saturday in order that it might take on the air of having been spruced up for the summer. Aside from its use as a dining room, It did duty as the place where Roger and | Helen prepared their lessons every eve--1 ning and Helen entertained her little j group of girl friends at tlielr sawing in this room during the winter, and though they all moved to the scree n e<J-ln porch for their meals as soon as the warm days of spring were really assured, the room

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. Bj David Cory. CHAPTER CCCXLIX. Wasn’t it too bad that the gold-laced steward wouldn’t believe little Puss Junior’s story. But perhaps it would seem strange to you and me if we had found a lot of gold presents in a stranger's basket, especially if that stranger were in our garden and the gold presents were marked with the crest of the family we worked for. Well, anyway, the gold-laced steward picked up the basket and said: “Hush up with your silly tale. Do you think anybody will believe that?” Then he searched Puss and took away his bag of gold pieces and the letter marked “Private,” and then shut him up in a ceil. But w hen the baron came home he said to his steward. “Let me see this cat who wears red top boots.” So they brought Puss to him, and as soon as the baron heard what Puss had to say, he believed him. and was very happy to think that the strange, sad man had repented of his bad deeds. And the baron told Puss that when Christmas came around he would have the Fir Tree brought in and covered with the presents and many candles. And then, all of a sudden. Puss thought, about the letter marked “Private" which the J£ing had given him, so he said to the baron, “Can you tell me where the Great Governor Jorlando lives, for I have a letter for him." "Os course I can,” replied the baron. “He is my son and lives not far from here.” So the gold-laced steward had to give the letter back to Puss, as well as his leather hag full of gold pieces. And after that the kind baron gave orders that a messenger should take the letter to the Great Governor Jorlando and Invited Puss to spend the night in the castle. And that night, when Puss was soanc asleep, he heard a gentle tapping at his window. And when he opened It, a raven hopped Into the room and said : “I have come from the Fir Tree on the mountain side. Here is a cone it bade me bring to you.” And then the raven flew away. And when Puss looked carefully at the cone, he saw it was fitted with a top. So he opened It and Inside was a little gold ring wrapped in a piece of paper, on which was written: “Wear this ring. It will beep yon from all evil, and when Christmas Eve comes, think of the little Fir Tree who longed to grow up so as to be a Christmas Tree." "Ah,” thought little Puss to himself, “this is a happy ending to my Journey. The baron and his wife will have their Christmas Tree with all the golden presents. and the Fir Tree will have its wish, and the strange, sad man need be sorrowful no longer." And after that Puss turned over and went to sleepT and in the morning he set out once more in searefi of new adventures. And by and by he came to a village w#>ere there lived a man and his wife who had a very beautiful daughter. But. oh dear me, she was so vain and proud of her good looks that she would never help her parents, but sat all day long by the window waiting for a prince to come by and ask her to marry him. And in the next story you shall bear who finally married her, but I will tell you right now he wasn't a prince.—Copyright, 1921. (To be Continued.)

HOROSCOPE “The Atari incline, bat do not compel!**

TUE9DAY, MAY 31. Astrologers read this as an uncertain day In which the Sun and Neptune are in benefic aspect, but Mercury, Uranus and Jupiter are strongly adverse. The planets are friendly to all who are at the head of Government, and the stars during this configuration are believed to aid vision concerning men and events. There is a sign that foreshadows a groat access of common sense, especially among women who will gradually recover from the effects of the war, which aroused all the primitive and predatory instincts in both sex?s.

bad the atmosphere of being very much lived in. There had once been some hideons pictures on the wall of fish and game and bright-colored fruits done in oils which Henry had long treasured as having belonged to his mother. It had taken much persuasion to reconcile him to seeing them carefully packed away in the attic, and there had been a long discussion as to whether he should be deprive 1 of the pleasure of looking at something of which he was really fond in order that It might be replaced by something artistic. * He was convinced finally, however, that they really did mar the effect of Mrs. Hooper’s simple room. The walls were perfectly bare now, but Mrs. Hooper had promised herself a few prints that would give the right note some time when an opportunity came to get them. She had known for a long time that

the piano had needed to be tuned and decided to put it on her memoranda this week, so that everything that needed to be done In the living room would be finished up. There was no replenishing of table linen this year, fortunately. One of the big tablecloths needed to be cut down for lunch cloths and dollies, but she did not intend to replace it. Hereafter the family were to lunch and breakfast on a bare table and dollies.
