NEWT BROWN’S resignation from the pardon board leaves open a job at which the recipient may work as many days as he pleases at ?10 a day undoing the work of the courts, the judges of which have received salary increases. Fault Finding! It goes without saying In this community that the soft jobs provided by the city and county under the guise of ‘'inspection’* of the work of public contracts are a waste of money and tend to stand In the way of proper insurance that contractors will give full value for the public monej they receive. , The system that makes it possible for public officials to select as “inspectors" men who have no qualifications for that work and whose selections are based on their ability to deliver votes or perform other political work is wholly wrong ard a direct tax on property owners. It is a system that ought to be abolished, a wasteful, pernicious and unnecessary drain on public money that contributes in no small degree to the excessive cost of public work. Concerted effort, directed to the repeal of the law that makes it possible would be in the interest of the property owners. But isolated criticism of one group of public officials for the appointment of one such “political" inspector only reveals the utter selfishness of the critics, the hyprocisy of the criticism. We are moved to make these remarks by the peevish attempt of a contemporary to belittle the board of county commissioners, who appointed Henry Fleming, a negro politician, as inspector of a road project The ability of Fleming to fulfill a position of a great deal more importance with the Jewett administration was not questioned when Fleming was doing the political bidding of the mayor. Now, however, since he has refused to follow the dictates of the News-Jewett machine, it would have the public believe that his appointment to a position of inspector under the county is more reprehensible than the retention of Rufe Page, of gambling house fame, as an inspector under the city. It Is the very evident insincerity and selfishness of such criticisms that has made the opposition to the News-Jewett machine in Indiannpolis a great asset to any public official. The Chinese Relief The appeal for funds in aid of Chinese famine sufferers has been closed, as it is thought that rains now insure a crop which will render unnecessary any further active aid. Almost seven million dollaxs have been sent from America to feed the people in that stricken territory. The appeal of Herbert Hoover for European children was most ep<*ctacular and met a full answer, the Armenian relief seems like the poor—ever with us —but the Chinese famine fund apparently touched a popular chord and closes with a generous response. It had one specific mission—to save life by allaying hunger during an emergency. True, the Armenian relief feeds thousands of orphans, thereby relieving them —even preventing starvation, but the demands arise so differently that the Chinese relief will always stand out unique. The Armenians are a persecuted race, while the Chinese are simply suffering from floods and droughts. „, N To those who have never felt the pinch of hunger, whose even life has never faced the necessity of abandoning everything that soul and body could be kept together, the crisis in China is not appreciated. It is most sincerely hoped that it will never be enacted in America. In this land It seems that all nature requires is an earnest effort, when crops will respond. If any are hungry, some food is always procurable and no one has been obliged to sacrifice everything to live. The very awfulness of the situation in China seems to fascinate the distant observer, but fortunately the conditions are changed for the better. While America gave bounteously—for seven million dollars constitute a huge sum, greater than the public debts of some States, it is safe to say that no one hurt himself in giving; that the art of giving is almost unknown, even to the average generous American. But the response has shown a good spirit and wonderful impulses. A Better Business Bureau It is to be noted that an under secretary of state, in France, who is in charge of a bureau for the discovery of frauds, promises tourists to investigate all complaints of overcharges, and further assures the imposition of heavy penalties on those found guilty. Although prices are high in France, owing to many causes, the officer will endeavor to prevent an extra charge against Americans. It seems that there an official Better Business Bureau is tardily starting to promote honesty and fair dealing, and that there is government sanction behind it. There is a difference between the action in France and that here. In the European country the power behind the endeavor to prevent gouging is the government, while in America it is a moral force. In the old country possibly It Is necessary for the government to act, for the generations past have been filled with orders and edicts by the powers that be, rather than by those out of authority. It is also to be remembered that there is a reaction from all things warlike everywhere, and if tired and wounded France were unaided by the government it may be now too sick to act for itself. This, country, least touched by the war, can right itself comparatively easily, though the process seems slow. It can be appealed to by a moral force and will answer. It has more reaction, to use the physicians’ language, for it has not been so near exhaustion. Americans may expect, too, a quicker response, for the government as well as business depends upon sentiment and the moral appeal. Happy is the man whose judgment guides him most time. Happy is the nation that can execute great moral reforms through laws, but happier by far is the individual whose own sense recognizes a place for improvement and needs not be driven to do right. France Is to be congratulated for showing a desire to be fair. America deserves felicitations for executing a determination to carry out high ideals by her own eslfimposed restraints. A Dangerous Compliment A novel procedure, frought with danger from an artistic viewpoint, yet conveying a delightful compliment, is shown in the action of Frank C. Ball of Muncie, recently. He proposes to purchase a picture from of six artists, to be hung in Herron Art Institute, but each artist is to choose his own picture. In other words, each creator is to select the one he can most commend, for the purchase, and it will stand, practically, as an example of his work; but the approval will be that of the artist, for that purpose. Whether or not the public will approve will remain for generations yet unborn to determine. Os course art is art, and the layman can not be expected to determine relative merits in an artist’s work, but at times it may be that an artist, who after all is human, may make mistakes. What may appear the best work of a genius may be but poor, while the poorest may be highly regarded. One noted old master always painted his wife, but her beauty does not commend itself in this age and if the painting were not by a master the subject would long have been forgotten. So the dangerous pitfalls incidental to human experience may play a larger part In the art than the occasion warrants and posterity may be disappointed. The love of a particular subject, the work done on some canvas, may appeal very strongly to the artist, but the entire creation may not touch a popular chord. Some other less deiMwlng work may be far more popular. V The compliment extended to the six permitting them Vo select the pictures they please, is certainly works of merit a™ assured. KglX

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. j By David Corr. ~ CHAPTER CCCLXIV.

Well, as soon as Puss Junior reached the seashore he blew three blasts upon the shell whistle which the little Black Man had given him in the last story, and then, all of a sudden, he saw old Neptune, king of the sea, racing towards the shore In his great shell boat, drawn by his foamy sea horses. "Hall, little Puss Juulor,” roared the great sea king, and his voice sounded like a gust of wind down the chimney on a stormy night. "What makes you blow three blasts upon the magic shell whistle?" "I will tell you,” said little Puss Junior, and then he explained to the great sea king how the handsome prince had been changed Into a great serpent, as 1 told you in the last story, and how (he little Black Man had said that the only way for the prince to regain his natural shape was to eat one of the golden apples that grew la the Gardens of the West. "Oh, ho!" exclaimed King Neptune, " 'Tis a long Journey thither.” "Yes, I know that only too well,” and I guess King Neptune heard the sadness in Puss Junior’s voice, for he suddenly shouted, for the great wares were making a dreadful noise on the rocky beach : “ Df > you wish to go to the Gardens of the West?” ‘Yes, I do,” answered Puss, eagerly. "Well, then, Jump Into my chariot.” said Neptune. "But you urns' promise If I land you safely there to bring me a golden apple for I have promised iny wife that some day she should have an apple tart made with an apple from the Gardens of the i\ est, and when a king promises his wife something he always keeps his word, although 1 have heard that a few ordinary men have broken theirs.” Well, In legs time than I taka to tell it, I’uss Jumped into Neptune’s chariotboat, and away went the great sea horses, tbeir manes flying in the wind and their great feet sending the spray high into the air. Over the golden roadway which the setting sun threw far across the ocean they flew, the great boat gleaming in the light like a huge golden ball. "Faster! Faster!” shouted Neptune. "On, Billow; On, Breaker! On, Boomer! On, Tempest!” And then you should have seen those horses go! Why, it seemed to Puss as If they would break their seaweed harness and crack their beautiful pink coral collars But they didn’t, and on they went, and by and by, the stars cams out and the golden roadway was lost to sight, but the sea horses knew the way, so King Neptune said, and I guess he knew, for he had driven them so many years, ever since the world began, before Noah built his Ark and the Man In the Moon got married. “We'll soon be there now,” said Neptune, but when he received no answer from little Puss he turned around and isw that he had fallen asleep. And in the next story, If Puss wakes up In time. I’ll tell you what happens when they reach the Gardens of the West.—Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued). OJLB TRINITY CHl’I CH. Q.

WILLIE BAXTER UTTERS ROMEO’S HOT LOVE LINES In Bill Shakespeare's Old Love Tragedy With an Unhappy Ending

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Shakespeare in the summer time ? Yes. When Gregory Kelly and hi3 wife Ruth Gordon, arrived In Indianapolis early in the spring for the opening of their stock season at English's, they were burning up with a great secret. They were going to do Shakespeare and nothing but a flood or au earthquake could shake their plans. They were going to do all or part of Eill Shakespeare's Immortal “Romeo and Juliet.” The man, who created the role of Willie Baxter in “Seventeen” and whose work was so praiseworthy as Bobby Wheeler In “Clarence,” pledged himself to the task of crawling Into Romeo’s tights and mantle. Miss Gordon, who was the baby-talk lady In “Seventeen” and Cora Wheeler, the little flapper, in “Clarence,” also had promised herself the great chance of becoming Juliet. Their “dreams” have come true. They are doing the balcony scene from “Romeo and JuMot” this week at English's as a curtain raiser to that modern, noisy farce, “Fair and Warmer." Shakespeare can be a death dealing poison in the hands of the unexperienced or his beautiful lines can become the fairest of music. In these days of Jazz and the tight r<*vue, we people In this section of the country obtain our Shakespeare only at the hands of a few disciples—such as Walter Hampden, Robert Mantell and Fritz Lelber. We get no Shakespeare as a general rule unless these three gentlemen come In our direction. It Is a great privilege to bring Shakespeare to the stage and this department always has taken that into consideration In judging specific performances of these three gentlemen. Mr. Kelly and Miss Gordon at least should be given credit for attempting or even daring to present Shakespeare during a summer stock season. Kindly try to remember the great amount of additional work and study it required even to do this one little scene from “Romeo and Juliet." Mr. Kelly ha* eleteed to use drapes and a balcony Impression. I will admit that I will never become accustomed to the modern stage idea in presenting Shakespeare. I want my Shakespeare ancient, even dust on the scenery, if you please. The Kelly set Is a dream of modern beauty but It Is not Shakespeare. When an actor touches Shakespeare he runs Into some of the choicest recollections of the stage. He runs up against some of the biggest names on the stage and he encounters certain rules. Here we have youngsters and I pray you not to misunderstand my meaning, giving us their idea of how the greatest love tragedy ever written should be acted. In the first place. Miss Gordon for a while seems to have forgotten Cora Wheeler or Lola Pratt. There Is a whole lot of Corn Wheeler and a little of Lola in Juliet, but Miss Gordon falls utterly to inject any of those qualities In her performance. There are times during her performance that one gets the idea that Cora Wheeler is trying to kick through the years of tradition and make her appearance, but she never arrives. Miss Gordon’s Juliet Is colorless. Oh. If Miss

Follow them dally In au Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the condition* of the high cost of living with them.) THURSDAY. As the Bride Joined Mr*. Hooper and Helen for the weekly shopping and marketing trip, she said; “Before I forget it. Mrs. Hooper, will you tell me how to make a decent ojnelet for two people? I think I have the proportions all wrong or something is the matter. I seem to have enough for a family of five when It 1* finished. There must be some way to get Just enough for two." “I’ll get It for you before we go out.” said Mrs Hooper, “and you can put It right in yottr bag. It is very wasteful to have more omelet than you can really eat, because there is almost nothing you can do with It as a cold left over." “That's just what I’ve discovered.” said tho Bride, “and I've been Intending to come to you with my omelet trouble before.” “You write It on a card while I read it," said Mrs. Hooper, as she searched through her recipe index box. “This 1* the one I use, reduced to the proportions that will make a sufficient quantity for two people.” “Use one half of a enp of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one fourth teaspoonful of salt, , two eggs and pepper. Make a regular wnite sauce of tho butter, flour and milk, when thick and well cooked cool It. Beat the yolks of the eggs till thirk and add the seasoning and yolks to the white sauce, fold lu tho stiffly beaten whites of the eggs; heat the pan and butter well. Cook slowly until well puffed and browned underneath. Then place the pan In a heated oven and cook the top. If you want to serve this with a Spanish sauce, this Is ths way to make the sauce: One green pepper, one onion, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one half can of tomatoes, one cup of cooked rice, one half teaspoon of salt and six or eight stuffed olives. Brown the siloed pepper and onion in the blitter and add the tomatoes. To this add the cooked rice and just before pouring on the omelet add the olives cut crosswise into slices.” The Bride wrote this all down carefully and tucked It away In her bag, and as they started she observed: “Shopping for Helen's room Is to bo the big event today, isn't it, Mrs. Hooper?” Helen beamed with delight as her mother replied, “Yes, that is the Idea, though X must

GREGORY KELLY AS ROMEO AND MISS RUTH GORDON AS JULIET. Here is a photographic Impression of Mr. Kelly and Miss Gordon doing the famous love scene from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” The picture gives a good Idea of the modern stage method used by Mr. Kelly In producing this scene. . •

Gordon would read the lines as she read them one day at a luncheon table. She understands Juliet, but she becomes lost while sitting on a balcony. Her greatest error is in hPr inability to lift her voice so It will carry over the theater. One can not Imagine his Shakespeare, he must hear it. On, the other hand, Mr. Kelly will surprise you with the even and Intel.igent manner In which he reads his lines. The main trouble Is, In my humble opinion. Is that Mr. Kelly does not put enough of the warm blood In the veins of Romeo. Romeo is the kind of a lover who climbs over high walls to talk to his lady love. Even Juliet talks about the height of the garden wall. In other words, Romeo must have some "pep.” I know the term “pep” is a modern term, but Romeo and Juliet are no different than the lovers of today. They loved with their arms and their lips, and if 1 am not mistaken that Is the love formula of the youth today.

stop first and do some marketing. I want to order a supply of rhubarb now that It is so cheap and put some of it up so that we can have It for breakfast a* long as possible.” “Poes It keep wher It Is preserved." asked the Bride. “1 thought It was one of those things that always spoils.” “Gh, not at all.” said Mrs. Hooper, “although I never keep mine for a long time, but use It right up during the month or so that follows Its disappearance from the market. It is such a healthful food product that I like to use as much ns possible of It during the spring and early summer." “Don’t you think it Is getting too hot for much meat now?” inquired the Bride. “Bob Is a regular cannibal, he wants meat all the time, and I know it Isn’t good for him.” "My family Is very fond of meat, too, I am sorry to say," observed Mrs. Hooper, “but Henry persists In the oldfashioned notion that meat at least once a day Is a necessity.” They had stopped at the meat market and Mrs. Hooper continued: "For the next few weeks, though, T Intend to confine my meat to light economic?! tidbits like tripe and liver, kidneys and tongue." “But I don't believe Bob will like those,” objected tile Bride. "Os course he loves creamed sweetbreads, but I know he'd hate those other “Innards.’ ” “It Is only because sweetbreads are more expensive and stylish.” laughed Mrs. Hooper, “but the othe^'-internal organs make dishes quite as delicious if they are properly cooked. I shall order some honey comb tripe; served with a good sauce It makes a wonderful meal." “Well, I’ll try it some day," answered the Bride, “and next week when you are having those kidneys and livers and hearts I wish you’d give me the recipes.” "Very well, I will," replied Mrs. Hooper as they now continued to the department store to pick out the hangings for Helen’s room. They had a lovely time selecting Just what seemed to appeal to the little girl whose heart was set upon something with pink rose buds. They finally located It just where the bride said it would be a sheer white sort of organdy material with little moss rose buds scattered thickly over Its surface. They also found a piece of printed cretonne that matched It exactly that was much better for the bed spread and pillow covers than the lighter material. The white furniture was to be paiuted a French blue, and stencilled with little designs of pink and gold. They bought the paint and the Bride volunteered to come over and do the stencilling just as soon as Roger had the furniture ready. Roger had already said he would put in two book shelve* in the corner, and Mrs. Hooper

At all times a pretty stage picture Is maintained, but Just pretty atmosphere does not reflect the beautiful lines of Shakespeare. 1 consider this voyage of the Kellys in the realm of Shakespeare a little ad venture in which the pot of gold is not found at the end of the rainbow. -!- -I- -1ON VIEW TODAY.

FRIDAY, JUNE 17. This should be a favorable day for most human endeavors. Mercury and Saturn are both in benefic aspect. This should be a fortunate sway for mining affairs, making for good news where labor problems are concerned. The rising position of Mercury well aspected by Jupiter, Venus and Mercury should benefit the country. Much attention will be paid to education and to reform movements that encourage higher thought. Persons whose birthdate It Is should keep the health in order during the coming year. They should avoid new enterprises and thus will prosper. Children born on this day may meet with some opposition in business. —Copyright, 1021.

GEORGE PLANS AMERICAN TRIP Premier May Fulfill Life-Long Dream Soon. LONDON, June 16.—The dream of Premier Lloyd George’s life is to visit tho United States to study American conditions at short range and it may be fulfilled before many months have elapsed, It was learned here today. Mr. Lloyd George Is in Wales to recuperate from recent illness, and to attend the wedding of hls second son. A Cardiff dispatch to London said the premier may go to the United States late In the summer. An American woman of Welsh descent, who talked with Mr. Lloyd George at Briccieth, was quoted as saying the premier told her of his plans to go abroad. According to this dispatch the premier said: “It is my life’s dream to make the acquaintance of the United States. If conditions permit I probably will go there late in the summer.”

AD CONVENTION WOULD EDUCATE SALESPEOPLE 4 Deemed Advisable to Get Full Benefits From Advertising Expense. ATLANTA, Ga.. June 16.—A definite program of a far-reaching character for the education of retail salespeople, as a means of making advertising appropriations go further, was approved here by the Associated Advertising Clubs of tho ■World, whose convention came to a close this afternoon. Charles Henry Mackintosh, of Chicago, chairman of the National educational committee of the advertising association, inaugurated the movement for this educational work some time ago when ha asked 1,000 representative business con-! cerns what should be done to help re-] tall sale people to become more flcPnt and therefore more profitable to themselves and to business. SALES PERSON IS FINAL LINK. As he explained the movement In addressing the advertising convention today, the ability of the manufacturer and the retailer to sell gobds and to render a proper service to the customer at the lowest possible cost—and their ability to make their advertising effective—depends, In tho end, upon the retail salsa person. No matter how large the pipe leading between two points, ha said, water will not flow faster than the faucet at the end will let it. The retail salesman, he showed, is the faucet through which all merchandise must eventually flow. This movement, Mr. Mackintosh showed, looms big In public importance because better retail selling means lower selling costs, with resulting economies to the public, while the public also will save time and will more often get the goods needed for the particular want when dealing- with retail salespeople who know the goods and are well trained in finding the exact needs of the customer. The association is at work on a course of ins-ruction in retail selling which will be offered to all retail salespeople in the two hundred cities where the organization now has local advertising clubs. The fee for the course will be nominal—Ju* enough to cover the actual cost COURSE BASED ON INVESTIGATION. This course is not being planned according to the ideas of a few high-brow saiesmanagers as to what retail salespeople need, but is based upon the findings of hundreds of men and women members of advertising clubs who are reporting their experiences in retail stores to indicate just what the course should cover to help the avgrage store employe.
