A Forecast? , If the town of Zion, DL, lives up to its name, as it might be supposed It would do, to a finite degree, at least, It may possibly-be regarded as a prediction of things to come. The future should be seen in the present, to those who discern, and who by analogy, can picture r.ith the mind's eye what is to come. . A recent Waukegan (111.) dispatch sajs that what is known as the Sheridan road may be paved through Zion and that the overseer of that village will improve half a mile not included in the original contract. So good roads must partake of a heavenly nature. Otherwise the ever watchful overseer of Zion would not tolerate them, noi lend his sanction to their construction. It will be recalled that the original likeness of which this village Is but a poor mundane attempt was paved with gold. So improved roads are permitted. The police of the Zion near Chicago forbid openwork stockings, peek-a-boo waists, short skirts and bare‘arms under penalty of a fine from $lO to S2OO, on the charge of disorderly conduct This recent ruling may keep the village on the plane with the city of Heavenly Rest Then tendency at least should be that way. Church going and automoblling constitute Sunday activities. The experts who manage Zion City should know their business and be sufficiently familiar with their model to make it a shining example to numerous wicked municipalities. Paradise may begin there, without short 6kirts and bare arms and other things, but in the abesnce of everything excepting good roads and Sunday automobiling it may be well to abide where chuckholes exist a little longer, despite the high price of coU and the turmoil of elections rather than encounter the real Zion, with no thrills and no chance of return. * f , Lots of people are doomed to disappointment If Zion, 111., is like Zion, somewhere, or rather if Zion beyond the Pearly Gates is similar in amusement, or in dress, to Zion, 111. Jail Troubles Apparently this city is not the only one with troubles, for it now appears that a Chicago bureau of public efficiency, something wholly unknown here, has arisen to oppose a nine-million-dollar issue of Jail bonds. The reason for this lack of public pride and civic enterprise is given that there are no plans for the jail and it is not known what really is wanted in that line. Jails are not handled by any jobbing house, especially such jails as Chicago could use, so it is urged that the authorities should get together and determine the needs and cost before collecting the money to spend. Thus someone is ever taking the joy out of life. For some unromantic person to desire to know what the public will receive for its money is unthinkable. It is almost anarchy and the paper which printed the item is a menace to the community. ' Jails are places where breakers of the law are kept for the benefit of the sheriff, that he may make money off of their food. They should be so irranged that all classes of criminals can ’•mingle’' together and then, it they don't like it, could break away. Last year the Marion County jail Tarnished a delightful example of the get-away part and the ex-sheriff is not yet tried for underfeeding those people. Let Chicago come here and lee a jail which surely will convince of the necessity of a speedy issue of bonds. To Stabilize the Dollar The late organization of a Stable Money League to do away with fluctuations in the buying power of the dollar deserves more than passing notice, because it may accomplish much good. It has some eminent members, including a former Governor, a director in the Federal Reserve Bank and many economists. A dollar looks like the moon, in size, and may be large or small, according to the perspective of the individual. It has more motions than the moon and will bear stabilizing. It goes up and down in value, to the right or left in quest, end at times completely sidesteps everything. Recently the value of a dollar in Buenos Aires fell about 5 per cent, while from day to day the purchasing power of exchange so fluctuates that it is very difficult to determine the cost of anything foreign, until it is paid. Nobody excepting a banker can explain why a dollar buys more today than yesterday, nor can the ordinary banker tell what the coin will do tomorrow in horizontals. It will be a great accomplishment when the stabilization of the dollar shall have prevented in some appreciable measure the elusive side-stepping which is so common. To have the dollar stay put, but be stable, enough to come at call, is no easy task. Nor is it always possible to place a hand on a dollar where it was last seen. Cold-blooded business men will insist upon stabilizing the dollar up and down, but the public surely will favor the restraint on the other motions. If the furtive side-stepping activities can be eliminated certainly good results will follow. The Pipe Plot It is quaintly related in the Knickerbocker History of New York that when Wilhelmus Kieft, known as William the Testy, forbid the U3e of tobacco, a vast multitude, armed with pipes and toL'icco boxes, sat themselves down before the governor’s house and fell to smoking with tremendous violence. The governor was at first wrathful and unyielding, but was gradually si ked into terms. He concluded by permitting the smoking of tobacco, tau? ending the alannirg insurrection which was long known by the name of Jne Pipe Plot. Within the last year or a little more there havx been two movements as stupendous as the pipe plot of bygone days One was occasioned Dy the raise in price of a oup of coffee in the popular v-cnf.uirants. This was done after conscltation with the Go.eminent rspresentativss and apparently most of the eating places acted at once and In magnificent accord. The public ceased to use coffee and in less than a week the old price was restored. Recently a commission with full authority in the pn .raises delivered a wise edict authorizing the street cars to charge a 6-cent fare The company operating the cars hastened to obey, but .he public walked or rode in a Jitney and the ergency that prompted higher fares was augmented instead of being rel -ed, with the result tint the basic fare is again 5 cents. Whenever there has been a concerted a from the ear licit days of American history, results

BARRIE S ‘SENTIMENTAL TOMMY ’ Will Be Next Movie Offering at Ohio

, Much interest will be caused Ip the announcemet.t that Sir James M. Barrie’s “Sentimental Tommy” has been filmed and will open a week's engagement at the Ohio next Sunday afternoon. Gareth Hughes has beer, cast as Tommy Sandys. May McAvoy will be seen as Grizel, Tommy's sweetheart, and Mabel Taliaferro will appear as the Painted Lady, the mother of Grizel. G-rlzel, serious and responsible beyond her 12 years, has been ostracized all her life by the Inhabitants of Thrums, a Scotch village, because of the taint that hangs over the respectability of her mother, known generally as the Painted Lady, until her one constant yearning is to be recognized as decent. One morning when she, as usual, m being taunted by the other children of the town a champion appears in the person of Tommy Sandys, a newcomer to the town with an unlimited imagination, and Tommy becomes her best friend. At the age of 22, Tommy has become recognized as a precocious genius and successful author. Returning to Thrums, he discovers that Grizel, now a beautiful girl of 18, loves him, and wishing to make her happy, assumes the role of a lover so well that he believes It himself. His Imagination* carries him so far that he proposes to Grizel in a romantic manner, but she, before her marriage, finds out that though he is well meaning he is still Sentimental Tommy. Sines he really does not love her in the unselfish way she loves him she will not go through with a marriage. Tommy goes away and Grizel doesn’t hear from him for a long time, the truth being that he is dow engrossed in an affair with Lady Alice Pippinworth. whom he has followed to Switzerland. Fearing that Tommy is in trouble and needs her, Grizel follows him faithfully to Switzerland where she surprises him by coming upon him when he is making violent love to Lady Alice, and before Tommy can make an •xolanation she disappears. After a persistent search Tommy finds Grizel In her mother's old home, completely demented from grief over him. With true remorse he marries her and sacrifices everything to care for her for two years until she Is nursed back to health and sanity. -I- )!- ON VIEW TODAY.

Follow them dai.v n an interesting review of t_etr home life and learn to meet tha conditions of the high cost of living them.) FRIDAY. For a long time Mrs. Hooppr had been annoved by just such a little thing as seeing Helen start for the bathroom every morning with her toothbrush and paste, brush and comb, wash cloth and towels which were kept on a small stand in her own room, and then drop on* thing after another along the hall and then step all over her bothrobe trying to pick them np as they fell, or else make a trip back to her own door and gather them up. Mrs. Hooper did not believe In having the bathroom all littered up with th per sonal toilet articles and towels of ea<-h member of the fami'y so that these belongings had a special nook of their own in each bedroom. Roger’s were disposed of on a long -wide she's that had been fastened to the wall at about the height of a table and fitted on either and with a short towel rack and covered with a piece of white oilcloth fastened down with small brassheaded tacks. On top he kept his brushes and combs and the simple paraphernalia that a boy needs at. band to keep himself tidy. On a brass hook under his shelf was a brightcolored, good-looking denim bag that gave no suspicion of holding such common, ordinary things as old pieces of stockings and rags, with which It was always kept generously supplied and upon which Roger was expected to wipe his shoes and not use the face towels or the legs of his pajamas that seem an eternal temptation to boys when they want to give their shoes Just one rub to get off the dust before leaving their rooms In a burry. A large, old fashioned, commodious washstand did service In her own bedroom for holding Henry’s toilet articles and a little dressing table kept hers In one place.

tlon curtained In. and fitted with towel racks on either side, had been put in Helen’s room so that everything to be used.jit her toilet and bath might be kept together. No amount of talking seemed to impress on Helen the annoyance her mother felt at this scattering of her things throngh the hall as she made her daily pilgrimage to the bathroom "Can't you gather the-n together carefully before you start and not Just grab them and half roll them up In your towels?” suggested Mrs. Hooper for the fifteenth or twentieth time. “Oh, 1 try to, mother,” complained Helen, "hut the old things Just sltp all around when I’m In a hurry." As Mrs. Hooper went downstairs to prepare breakfast, after having listened to the rattle of Helen's hairbrush and her soap dish as they skidded along the hall, she determined to arrange something that would put n stop to the child’s carelessness that might in time develop into a slovenly babtt. She .r-eaUed several overnight trips that she had made on Pullman cars when getting t- the dressing rooms with all one's toilet articles Intact sec in*! difficult unless one had something secure in which to carry them from the berth This called to mind the little cretonne-pocketed apron fitted with everything she needed for her toilet, that she had made for herself Making one of these for Helen suggeatel Itself, and then the thought that It wo.tld always be messy and rolled up somewhere on the shelf under the table caused her to i bandon the l<lea But ‘before going to the club In the afternoon she had solved the problem. Stopping at the department store on her way to tb~ club, she bought a little flat-bottomed shallow basket with a ban. die. for 25 cents, and at tha drug counter she purchased a fresh supply of soap, cold cream, talcum and tooth paste, and before she went to bed In the evening she hsd fitted the little basket with Helen's white soap dish, comb, brush, and tooth brush, a fresh wash cloth with a little pink crochet edge, the talcum, cold cream and tooth paste and the little patent yarn-comb cleaner that one buys In the drug store for 25 cents tucked away In the bottom.

"It looks very pretty," commented Henry, as Mrs. Hooper put it on tha table preparatory to giving It to Helen before she went upstairs, "but shell probably swing that basket around and spill the whole works at once instead of dropping one thing at a time.” "Oh. ho, she won’t.” instated Mrs. Hooper.

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 offir applies strictly to Information. Tne bureau cannot give advi’e on legal, medical aud financial matters. It does not attempt to settle domestic troubles, nor to undertake exhaustive research on any subject Write your questions plainly r.nd briefly. Give full name and address and enclose 2 cents In stamps for return postage. All replies are sent direct to the Inquirer.) A METEORITIC CRATER. Q. What is the meteorltic crater? G. A. B. A. In Arizona, not far from Winslow, there is a great hole in the earth, hundreds of feet deep and having almost perpendicular sides, •'which Is known by this name because scientists believe it was made by a meteorite striking the earth and burying Itself there. This hypothesis Is supported by the fact that much meteorltic material Is found scattered about the vicinity. It is quite rich in platinum, and a company has been formed to drill at the bottom of the hole for the meteorite itself In order to obtain platinum. CURE FOR OBESITY. Q. Is it true that the famous French novelist. Zola, cured himself of obesity by not drinking water? A. Vlzetelly, the biographer of Zola, records that Zola was very fat and that he reduced himself to positive emaciation by drinking no liquid with his meals, eating very little bread, and drinking as little as possible at any time. ANTIDOTE FOB POISON OAK. Q. Is there any specific cure for poison oak? C. H. M. A. The nearest thing to a specific cure for poison oak, or poison ivy, is a string solution of bicarbonate of soda in hot water. If applied after exposure to th< poison, but before the rash has appeared, this will usually prevent it. It will also help after the rash has appeared, but the affliction Is not then easily cured. If one goes into the woods, where the poison oak occurs, it is well to wash the face and hands In this solution as soon as possible afterward. SUPPOSED TO PROLONG LIFE. Q. Why Is buttermilk supposed to prolong human life? D. E. A. The Idea that the drinking of buttermilk prolongs human life was originated by a famous Russian scientist -named Metchnikoff. He believed that the acid in the milk destroys the bacilli in the major intestine, v hich a-e a leading cause of sickness and death. THE “GOOD GRAY POET.” Q. Who was the "good grr.y poet?” A. M. A. This term was applied to Walt Whitman, the American poet, by his friend O'Connor at the time that Whitman was discharged from the Department of the Inferior for having in his possession a copy of his own book. "Leaves of Grass.” The book, which has subsequently become world-famous and has been translated into many languages, was considered Immoral by many Americans when it was first published. Sec re-

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. “ By David Cory. CHAPTER CCCLXIII. You remember in the last story when the jackdaw tapped on the moss-cov-ered stone in the side of the hill It opened Just like a door and a little old woman dressed in a red waist and a black skirt covered with spangles suddenly Appeared. Well, after she had made a low bow to he jackdaw, she invited him and Puss into the cave. And when they were inside she opened a small door and beckoned them to follow. In the center of a still larger cavern, In a great armchair made of beryl and jasper, with knobs of amethyst and topaz, sat a dwarf no taller than Puss. About the cave a hundred little men, smaller than he, were busy in a hundred ways Some stirred kettles of smoking broth; others sliced fresh vegetables for crisp salads. Some spread a table with golden plates and crystal goblets; three turned a huge piece of meat on a spit before a fire at the end of the cavern, while a dozen more watched the simmering pots. As the Jackdaw hopped gravely past all this the Dwarf King stretched out his scepter, which was a tall bulrush of gold, and touched him on the head. And, would you believe it, the bird turned into a dwarf before Puss had time to wink. “What favor would you ask for the poor peasant children?" asked the Dwarf King. “I would send them a magic basket filled with food," answered the dwarf. And no sooner had he spoken than the King ordered his subjects to fill a magic basket with all kinds of good things to eat. There was a golden bowl of smoking stew, a crystal goblet of wine, a golden dish of mashed potatoes and another of rice pudding. And when the magic basket was covered with a damask it ws handed to little Puss Junior. - And after that the Dwarf King wished good luck and In another minute Puss found himself outside the cave under the old oak tree. So he set out at once for the pqpr peasant's hut, which he reached just Sb the sun arose. And never after that did the little children feel hungry, for the magic basket never grew empty. —Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued).

a regular vocational duty. It applies only to acts In the United States, Canada and Newfoundland, and they must be brought to the attention of the commission within three years of the date of the act. Cash benefits not to exceed SI,OOO a year In any one case are paid to persons disabled in such acts, and to the widows and children of those who lose their lives. The address of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission is Oliver Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. MOST CARS CITY-OWNED. Q. Are more automobiles owned in the cities or In the country? G. S. P. A. Figures published by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce show bat In June, 1919, the registration of <-2' , s by farmers was 2,466.475, while the ta, registration for the United States was 7,558,848. Thus the farmers, who m&<4e up nearly half of the population, own about a third of the cars, showing that the cities have the larger share In proportion to population. ANCIENT ARCHITECTURE. Q. What is meant by “Cyclopean architecture?” F. F. V. A. This name was applied to ancient walls of large, Irregular stones, roughly hewn or wholly unwrought. The term is of Greek origin and fable attributes such structures to the “Cyclopes.” COUNTING POINTS IN CASSINO. Q. In cassino, we lacked one point of game and the other side lacked four points. They got cards, blx cassino and two other points, while we got spades and three other points. Now who wins? J. R- B. A. In cassino, points are counted in the following order: Cards, spades, big cassino. little cassino, aces, sweep. Since "cards” count 3 and did not put your opponent out, you counted "spades” and won the game before they could count another point. USES OF MILLET. Q. Is millet seed used for any purposes other than seeding? L. S. A. Millets have been grown for centuries in India, China, Japan, where they are used as human food. In the United States millet is used only as a feed tot domestic animals. The only use of seed in this country Is for feeding domestio animals and for seeding purposes. FIRST IN WHITE HOUSE. Q. Who first occupied the Whit* House? E. M. H. A. The White House was first occupied by President Adams in 1800. ORIOIN OF "BOMBAST." Q. Is there a material called bombast? H. S. K. A. In the time of James I of England, a mixture of cotton and silk yarn was called bombast. It was used to pad the enormous bTeeches worn at that time. Hence bombast is applied to anything written or spoken In an Inflated style. EMMKB BIMILAB TO WHEAT. Q. What is emmer? J. R- WA Emmer is a wheat-llks grain with a very short and compact bead. It Is hardier as regards cold, drought, and rust resistance than wheat. It Is grown and harvested in the same manner as wheat.
