BILL BRYAN is to take up permanent residence at a Florida winter resort. The Peerless One’s finances must be looking up since he resigned that poorly paid Cabinet Job. * - Traffic If the city of Indianapolis is to continue to merit the consideration of a hundred thousand visitors such as assembled here for the Speedway races, It must take Immediate steps toward improvement of its traffic conditions. If the city of Indianapolis is to continue to grow and be the home of citizens who use automobiles some Immediate steps should be taken toward making the citizens’ automobiles capable of proper service to their owners. In other words, the time has come when Indianapolis must provide thoroughfares In all directions from the monument and make these thoroughfares such as lead some place and are passable. Downtown automobile congestion grows daily. The streets are taxed to capacity to handle the ordinary dally traffic. The influx of & thousand more cars in a day strains the avenues of travel to a point where delay, accidents and Inconvenience makes the average car owner wonder why he maintains a car. This throttling of traffic in the few available streets Is helping to strangle the automobile Industry, is interfering with the enjoyment of the recreation facilities already provided and is making It necessary for Indianapolis citizens to go elsewhere in order to drive their cars in ccmforL It is interfering with and making more costly the transportation of heavy merchandise and the delivery of light merchandise. It is levying an unnecessary tax on the cost of every commodity that must be delivered to the homes of Indianapolis. Whether the task Is pleasant or not, whether It is profitable or desirable for city officials to undertake, they must soon move toward the elimination cf the congestion in our streets or Indianapolis will be the loser in a dozen different ways. It is a fact that there is only one straight highway to the east of the city, and it is a tortuous one. It is a fact that there is only one highway to the north and it ends in a cul-de-sac. It is a fact that the one route to the west is the worst of them all, and it is a fact that of the two streets that make transportation south possible, nothing can be Baid except tha. they are atrocious. Not one of these available traffic lanes In any one of the four cardinal directions is capable of sustaining the traffic that it bears. There is no margin for growth and the conditions of travel are rapidly growing worse. For several years now North Meridian street has ended at the canal, back in a bog that it impassable in wet weather and horrible in dry weather. Asa way out of the city it is a monstrosity. The gap between Fall Creek boulevard and the concrete roads beyond Schofield mills is a barrier to northeast traffic. The everlasting gap where the Northwestern avenue bridge ought to have been completed two years ago 13 costing motorists thousands of dollars each month. West Thirtieth street is no better than a corduroy road. East and West Washington streets are the bane of a motorist’s travels. Garfield park, one of the beauty spots of the West, if as effectually Isolated from the greater part of the city as though it were a hundred miles away. The new bridge over Fall creek at Shriver avenue stands In isolated splendor because no one seems to realize that a bridge is no more useful than its approaches. |p Indianapolis has Its attractions for motorists. They wonld be easily accessible if only a little common sense were exercised in completing the necessary links to connect them with a beautiful system of isolated boulevards. Today, the enjoyment of investments In civic utilities consisting of millions of dollars is being curtailed because one governmental agent or the other has failed to accomplish some little task that would make these institutions readily accessible to the citizens. Today, there Is congestion In Indianapolis streets because no way Is provided for traffic to go any place. Indianapolis is In the position of having enclosed Itself and overcrowded the enclosure. And the whole deplorable traffic situation Is as foolish as It Is distressing. A Safeguard Lost? Judge Ferdinand Geiger, sitting for Judge A. B. Anderson in the Federal Court for the district of Indiana has promulgated a theory and rule concerning liquor cases which bids fair to remove more than half the deterrent influence in the Illegal liquor traffic. He contends that in prosecuting liquor law violators who have been prosecuted in the State courts, the Federal Court is unwisely acting as a court of review and he accordingly is refusing to convict in such Instances, There are two laws covering the sale of liquor in Indiana. One Is the Federal law and tbd otner is our own drastic prohibition statute. The same overt act may be a violation of both laws, but It requires considerable stretch of imagination to understand how a State prosecution be a vindication of a Federal offense. We can readily see how Judge Geiger arrives at the conclusion that a Twn who has been punished in he State courts should not be further punished In the Federal courts, but we can not agree with that conclusion. If tl is theory were to prevail, then either the Federal law or the State law will become a dead letter in Indiana. If the bootlegger Is to have his preference undoubtedly he would prefer that the Federal law be forgotten. For it is a lamentable fact, frequently pointed out by Judge Andreson. that the State courts do not do their duty. There has heretofore remained In the minds of those who desire enforcement of prohibition the satisfaction that came of knowing that the Federal Court could and would act in cases where failure of the State courts is apparent If this satisfaction is now to be removed we may look forward to two things—considerable less respect for prohibition laws and considerably greater laxity on the part of State courts In dealing with liquor law violators. Freed! The administration of Warren T. McCray as Governor of Indiana won a place on the honor role vestertiay when the passing of Fred Bates Johnson from the public service commission marked the elimination of the Indianapolis News from the government of the State. Mr. Johnson, himself a capable and courteous gentleman, was the last of the long list of members of the News’ "silent staff” to step down from influential positions In the affairs of the State. He was an appointee of Goodrich, placed on the public service commission at a time when the newspaper which he has served so long was intent upon forcing a reorganization of the local street car company, the practical benefits of which the community is now seeking in vain. • Mr. Johnson is not the type of man who would consciously allow himself to be influenced in a public act by a private purpose. But, like many others, he was selected for his position because of his susceptibility to the wily and hypocritical influences exerted by a clandestine powerseeking cabal. The McCray administration Is to be congratulated on Its comp'ete severance of relationship with this Influence. As It stands today, It may not be strong enough to avoid some dises*rons mistakes, but it is, at least, free <tf’ the scheming influences that private playground of the statehoiA.

OUR MARY IS A CUTE FLAPPER In ‘Don't Call Me Little Girl ’ Movie

Attired in a hoop-skirt costume of the sixties with voluminous ruffled skirts of beflowered silk, and a saucy hat standing atop a mountatness hair-dress Mary Miles Minter deals a decided blow to those who feel that the modern girl must wear the present day scanty attire to be attractive, in her new picture “Don't Call Me Little Girl” which is on view at the Alhambra today, Friday and Saturday. It is an adaption of Billie Burke's stage success “Jerry.” Miss Minter is oast in the role of an incorrigible girl of eighteen, the flapper period, who rebels at being continually treated as a child by her mother, a widow who is trying to appear more youthful than she really is. Poor Jerry finally decides to strike, and quite turns the family affairs topsyturvy. Winifred Greenwood, Buth Stonehonse, Jerome Patrick and Edward Flanagan have the principal roles in support of the star. Catherine Chisholm Cushing wrote the story and Edith Kennedy was the scenarist. Subsidiary program features consist of s Hall Itoom Boys farce "Circus Heroes," the Fox news weekly and the Miami six, singing Instrumentalists. FLAGLER is ijkre OX A SHORT VISIT.

"My dear!" exclaimed Mrs. nooper as she opened a letter handed her by the mailman as Henry was leaving the house for the office, “this is a wedding announcement from Sister Jean saying Lily is to be married next Saturday." “Is that so?” remarked Henry, evidently not as excited as bis wife over the news of the approaching marriage of their niece. “Thzt means you'll have to buy her a wedding present right away, but thank goodness we won't be expected to go to the wedding since they live so far away.” “I’ll hare to get her something this very afternoon," announced Mrs Hooper, “It will barely have time to get there, so I can't delay a single day. I wasn't counting on Lily's wedding till October, hut I suppose something has happened to make them change their minds.” “Well, you'd better ask the bride to go •with you and help to pick out your present If yon expect to do it la one afternoon,” suggested Henry. “I know you are thinking of that awful time when we spent the greater part of three weeks after we were first married hunting In shops for a wedding present for your old chum." laughed Mrs. Hooper, “but I don't do that any more. My suggestions for presents come from catalogues and lists and not from shop windows now. Then when I start out I have my mind already made up that it is to be a pickle fork, without being distracted by a desire to buy a piano lamp or a silver teapot Instead.” nenry laugebd as he ran down the stairs, after saying, "Well, I suppose Lily will probably get a simple little soap dish since she didn't wait till October.” Mrs. Hooper had promised the bride that she would go with her to order her pantry supplies at the “chain” store, where commodities of the kind needed were always cheaper than elsewhere. Si before they started, she made a list of the brands of different canned goods that she bad tested and had settled down to using because they had proved most' satisfactory, and advised the Br.’de to insist upon them every time she ordered, unless by actual experience she discovered something better. Constantly changing brands or taking “Just anything” is very poor economy and leads to no kind of stability the use of canned foods —a certain amount of which should be usid by every housewlfo. In order to give tlmo to do this ordering for the bride and to get her own weekly shopping done as well as to buy the wedding present, they started early. Her purchases consisted largely this time of household supplies to replenish her laundry cabinet, and material for cleaning her floors and furniture on Saturday. Her marketing for the week called for many more eggs than usuai, because the price had gone down so that she felt she ought to use as many as I >sslble in her menus this week, and in Pi .naing her meals she had been using them not only at breakfast but for luncheon and dinner as well. The main dish for one dinner was “Egg Spanish,” the recipe for which she gave the brido before they started. “I'm so anxious to go shopping for that wedding present,” exclaimed the bride when they had finished their marketing. “But you’ll never have time now to hunt for anything.” “I'm not going to hunt,” snld Mrs. Hooper, “except to find Just the special kind of dish I want.” "But how do you ever make up your mind ?" exclaimed the bride.

POLISH MOTHER WRITES TO R. C. Tells Gratitude of Her People for American Aid.

The attitude and the gratitude of the Polish mother in regard to the American Red Cross effort to send garments to European chili.ren Is aptly stated In a letter recently received by the local Red Cross Society irom one of them, extracts of which folio's - : “The feeling if c mother Is always the same, rich or poor. When a baby is coming the rich mothers devote their time to hunt! ,g in all the finest-stores In town for the prettiest outfit for their little baby; the dainty little dresses, shlrtles with ribbon bows, a sweet crib to hold the heart’s treasures. What feeling must be in the heart of a mother whose darling has nothing, has positively nothin* , not even a covering. The baby Is cold, there is no way to warm it. It cries, and iue mother’s heart breaks. “A layette for babies like the generous, sweet American ladles have sent through the American Red Cross—and many have already reached our village—has always brought great happiness, and when these poor mothers ask me how to thank those who worked on these layettes, I promised to thank in their name every lady who has made one, or even the smallest piece. I also take this opportunity to ask the American ladies as well as the American Red. Cross to keep up this noble, generous work, for more than ever your help is needed, and God bless you for everything." The American Red Cross, fourth floor Chamber of Commerce, has asked every woman in Marion County to donate at least two little garments for a boy or ? girl. If this is done the Indinuapolls Chapter will be able to meet its quota of 1,300 layettes and 11,000 garments for the children of Central Europe.

"■ 1 11 1 ~ • PUSS IN BOOTS JR. 1 By David Cory. (CHAPTER CCCLXII.)

One day bs Puss Junior was trudging along he came to th- edge of a pine forest where, close - nd, stood a small hut made of pine ai ihes, plastered with mud and thatcheu with rye straw. So he tapped on the door and pretty aoon It was opeped by a girl, who looked timidly at Puss. I suppose she thought before she saw him that it might be a robber knocking at the door. But when she saw Puss, with his red top boots and hat with flaming feather, she smiled and asked him in. "Coma In,” she said, and when Puss walked into the room he saw four other children, who stared at him, for they had never seen a cat with boots on before. I guess. The room was very smoky, for there was no chimney to the rude hut. A hole In the roof let the smoke out, and there were no window*, for the father of these children was a poor peasant, who made his living by gathering turpentine la the pine forest. Well. Puss sat down, while the girl went on with her work of cooking black beans for supper. And when they were ready, she put them all in a big wooden bowl and Invited Puss to Join her ana the other four children. And while Puss was eating out of the bowl withs wooden spoon a tame Jackdaw who bad been sitting on an old stool by the fireside hopped over end perched himself close to Puss.

And when the snpper was over, and the children were getting ready for bed, he whispered to Puss; “Thl* little family Is very poor. Their father is away selling turpentine, and there is hardly any food left in the hut. But if you will ceme with me tonight I will show you how we can help them.” So Pus 9 promised, end when all the children were sound asleep he looked over to the fireside where the Jackdaw sat, his eyes shining brighter and brighter through the darkness, till they made the room so light that Puss could plainly see the five sleeping children huddled together on the straw bed in the corner. Then the Jackdaw nodded, and. hopping down from the stool on which he sat, walked softly over to the door. 8o Puia got tip and followed him. The moon shone brightly on the bare brown fields silvered with white frost, and in tbe still, cold air the forest looked like a black cloud Just dropped upon the earth. On and on they went, the Jackdaw hopping over the rough fields and now and then turning his head and winking his fiery eyes at Puss. Well, by and by, they came to the foot cf a high, round hill. wbre a spring bubbled out of the ground. An old oak tree stood by, leafless now, hut still strewing the ground with dry acorns. Right at the foot of this tree was an upright gray stone, partly covered with moss and dry leaves. Tbo Jackdaw picked np an acorn and dropped It Into the spring and then walked over and stod in front of the stone. Thon ho beckoned to Puss and tapped three times on the stone with his bllL All of a sudden the rock opened In the middle, and there stood a little old woman as withered as a spring apple and dressed In a red waist and i black skirt covered with spangles. And in the next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright. 1921. (To bo continued.)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

(Any reader can get the answer to any question by writing THE INDIANA DAILY TIMES INFORMATION BUREAU, FREDERIC J. HASKIN, DIRECTOR, WASHINGTON, D. O. This offer applies strictly to information. Tne bureau cannot give advi’e on legal, medical and financial matters. It does not attempt to settle domestic troubles, nor to undertake exhaustive research on anv sublccf Write ycur questions plainly and briefly. Give full name and address and enclose 2 cents in stamps lor return postage. All replies are sent direct to the Inquirer.) PERSPECTIVE OF DISTANCE. Q. Why does the moon appear to be about the same size as the sun, when the latter Is so much larger? P. B. H. A. The sun is about four hundred times broader than the moon and also about four hundred times farther away, so that the perspective of distance makes it look about the same size. POULTRY LORE. Q. Is It true that chickens about to hatch are killed In the egg by thunder? G. T. B. A. The poultry division of the Department of Agriculture says there is no truth In this belief.

The Interstate Commerce Commission says that the approximate value of propertv owned by railroad companies in the United States on Dec. 31, 1920, was $19,000,000,000. FISHING. Q. What is the difference between wetfly fishing and dry-fly fishing for trout? C. L. A. In wet-fly fishing, the way commonly used in this country, the fly is merely a bunch of feathers tied to a hook and somewhat remotely resembling an Insect. It is drawn across the water, the motion being relied upon to attract the trout. Dry-fly fishing represents perhaps the highest development of the art of attracting fish by artificial baits. The fly is made of feathers In such a way as to resemble a real insect almost exactly. It is oiled so that it will float always upon the surface of tb6 water. It must be cast with great exactitude and allowed to float over the place where the trdut Is supposed to lie. This method was perfected In England where fish are more scarce and wary than In America.
