Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, G. Logan Payne Cos. Advertising offices j New l'ork. Boston, Payne, Burns FIVE O’CLOCK tennis players have nothing on the man next door with''a lawn mower. NO ONE ever heard of any one losing his life in an attempt to obtain a substitute for golf. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE is that Lew Shank tries to get them out before they are convicted and Mayor Jewett afterward. THE FACT THAT building operations are constantly on the increase is another good sign that the calamity howlers are wrong. IT IS SIMPLY a question of whether the public would rather pay for park band concerts through taxes or through paying higher street car fares. ADMIRAL SIMS was a hero In Republican eyes when he was criticizing Secretary Daniels, but it is different when he denounces a large portion of the new G. O. P. allies. SECRETARY HUGHES says America went to war to preserve free institutions, and George Harvey, whom the secretary sent to England as ambassador, says we did it to save our hides! SECRETARY DENBY has ordered the court-martial of a Haitian editor for speaking his mind concerning the administration. Apparently the constitution does not follow the flag to Haiti. IN OTHER words General Smith went to Gibson County to find out whether there really is anything going on down there or whether somebody is simply trying to get a State constabulary. WHILE CHICAGO opened Its municipal bathing beaches to the delight of its populace Indianapolis opened another grave for the seventh victim of unsafe places to swim. Broken promises continue to be costly things! * THE REPORTED refusal by Albert J. Beveridge of a preferred appointment as ambassador to Japan indicates Jhat it will not be so easy for the Administration to give Senator New a clear track In the coming primary. IF Harry G. Hogan of Ft. Wayne becomes a campaign manager for Senator New In his re-election race he might lend comfort to the enemy camp by using that famous slogan yrhich he originated while guiding General Wood’s campaign in this state: “This Is not a manufactured sentiment,” and which was one of the contributory causes of the General’s downfalL A Vicious Remonstrance Searching through all the tax laws of the State of Indiana will fall to reveal any authorization therein for a remonstrance against a proposed bond Issue based on the grounds that the remonstrators are not n harmony with the officials who wish to issue the bonds or with the employed agents of those officials. On the other hand, the law would seem to limit the remonstrators j to the question of the advisability of the issuance of the bonds to which’ they are objecting. A group of ten citizens, under the leadership of Alfred Potts, has seen fit to file a remonstrance against the Issuance of $847,000 of bonds by the school city for the improvement of schools Nos. 18, 36, 38 and 62. The remonstrance is based on the following grounds: 1. It Is charged to be irregular because Charles Barry, the chief obstructionist on the school board, does not approve of it N 2. It is charged to be improvident because the school board, facing absolute inability to house the school children seeking a schooling without the enlargement of practically all school buildings, has been compelled to undertake the immediate erection of schools that have been neglected '■ for ten years under reactionary school boards, and in so doing has been compelled to use all the funds it could legally pry out of a lot of discontented taxpayers whose children have grown up and who have no personal need of schools or care as to what other citizens need. 3. It is also asserted, gratuitously, that no further bond issues should be approved by the State tax board until the little coterie of bosses who are represented by the minority members of the school board are given the power to select the architects and building advisors of the school board and oust those who are now functioning by reason of the approval of the majority of the members of the school board. There is not, In this remonstrance, a single issue raised that ought to be considered for one moment by anybody having jurisdiction over bond issues. The petition filed could not have been better framed to vent the spleen and disappointment of the Indianapolis News over its failure to control the school board had it been framed, like some other infamous documents, in the rooms on the tenth floor of the under-assessed News building. Not one of the so-called reasons for the presentation of the remonstrance Is relative, or constitutes a reasonable argument against the improvement of the school building as proposed. The filing of this sort of a remonstrance, conceived In chagrin and born of malice toward progressive school officials, puts to a test Just one 1S8U& That issue is: Shall the rights of school children of Indianapolis to be housed In sanitary school buildings be dependent on whether or not the Indianapolis News and its satellites have control of the school board and direct the expenditure of the millions that must now be spent as a penalty for years of neglect? Fortunately, the State tax board, to which this question will be submitted, is a part of an administration that is not beholden to the News to: Its election. Consequently, those cltieens of Indianapolis whose children have been going to school only half days In portable buildings such as no stock breeder would erect for his stock need not be alarmed over the effort that will now be made to show opposition to new school buildings. The real purpose of the present remonstrance is not to stop the boDd issue, but to attempt to force the majority of the school board to grant to selfish interests the control of school affairs In order that the school board may exercise without annoyance the right conferred upon it by law to house the school children In safe and sanitary buildings. This community must have enlarged school buildings. This community will have enlarged school buildings. And very shortly we will see that the officials of the school city are free to provide these buildings without the necessity of paying homage to a newspaper. Going to Move In Kansas it used to be that a friendly cyclone vould remove an entire town, in a moment. In Colorado cloudbursts do their best to wash away whole cities. Occasional forest fires, a few avalanches or the removal of county seats have contributed to,the instability of Western towns and townsites, but now another moving cause is noted. The entire village of American Falls, Idaho, with a population of 2,000 souls, has been given notice to move. The rent Is not raised, either. A huge irrigation project Is soon to be undertaken, whereby the waters of Snake River will be made to reclaim about three hundred thousand acres of sagebrush. A dam a mile long and sixty feet high will be built. This new lake, to be created, will possess a shore line nearly 100 miles and it will simply swallow up American Falls. The town must go west or at least go up, and If It don’t, when the waters slowly ascend they will take In the postoffice, parsonage and corner grocery, front yards, streets and alleys. In this age, when the people of Indianapolis may have the privilege 1 of voting in the clearing of two city blocks for a plaza to ornament a solaliers’ memorial, it is interesting to know that elsewhere, others may hare lo vacate also. If Idaho can make the 2.000 r-noi citizens Os American Iralis depart, Indianapolis can clear * v ch* "'ice to the Biblic library, if It wants to.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, sn average American 1 family of five, living in h suburban 1 town, on a limited Income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present day problems of the home are solved by wokring on budget that Mrs Hooper has evelved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) FRIDAY The new officers of tho Woman’s Club had been elected last Friday, and when they met this afternoon it was to formulate definite plans for their garden party on July 4. It had been suggested that Mrs. Hooper be a candidate for president of tee club, but she had been very firm In her decision not to accept the office. She felt that It would take very much more time and energy than she could possibly afford to give to It unless there whs no one eise to take on the responsibility. Fortunately there were several women who had plenty of time because they had no children and few household cares and were very well Qualified In all other respects to preside. Mrs. Hooper's popularity was due to the fact that she was always eager to s art something that was for the benefit of the town and so eager to help and so conscientious about doing her share of the work that any new project entailed. She. was reappointed for another year to the chairmanship of tho economic department which In the Mayfield Woman’s Club concerned Itself largely with domestic economy. She was also chairman of the entertainment committee that had for Its business the planning of the Fourth of July fete. It was suggested that If Mr. Jsekson were approached on tho subject he would probably pe.:n t them to vise the beautiful gardens. “No. we’d never be able to live down the disgrace of tho town's mtsdomeanors," added a second. “We'd have norvout prostration before tho day was over.' "I don't believe the people of Mayfield ere such vandals,’’ remarked Mrs. Hooper quietly. “I thlnK' the beauty of the place would restrain any one with tendencies to be destructive.' “Hardly nny one in the town has been In the grounds.” said another woman, “and every one is curious to see them. It would be a wonderful improvement on Just going to our same old picnic grounds and would make our garden party a very gnat success. ’’ “I think wo ought to take a chance on being responsible for It If Mr. Jackson ; will let vis have it," said Mrs. Hooper , emphatically. “In a way we owe It to i the townspeople to give them this glimpse of all of that closed In beauty lrv the Jackenn ewlate if it is to be had for | thrim simply by our requesting It." | “Very well, Mrs. Hooper,” said the ; preaidout, “I appoint you a committee of one to ask Mr. Jackson if he will permit vis to use Ills grounds for our gar- ■ den party on .1 uiy 4. j ’“I shall he very glad to do It." replied ; Mrs. Hooper, though she did feel n bit j faint hearted now that It was ail put up to her Ihv do. “I will telephone him at his office In the morning.” “There isn't any use of onr making any further plans.” said Mrs. Briggs, “until we hear Mrs. Hooper's report, bo--1 cause all our arrangements will be different If toa gallon party Is at the Jackson's instead of L\ the Uttle park outside of town." “Oh yes, you can have a real honest-to-goodnesa garden pt rty," said the Bride enthusiastically.

“It mustn't bo too grand or the men won’t come to it,” objected one meek Uttle women. “And it must be patiiotlc Just the same as If it were iu the picnic grounds on account of being on the Fourth of July,” chimed in another. “I think we ought to ask Mr. Jackson to deliver an address if he lends us hl gardens.” said Mrs. Hooper. “lie is a very big man in the city, but no one here has ever heard him speak although his family has had a home here fur years." “Oh, well, they never wanted to mix with us." said Mr,. Briggs; “they're all fearfully snobby.” i “I don't beileve Mr. Jackson has ever been given an opportunity to mix in anything In this town," said Mrs. Hooper again. “No one has ever asked him to ; take part in anything further than to contribute money to our charities." "And I must say he'a always been very generous about that,” observed another member, “but I think every one supposes that he wouldn't want to be bothered with our small town affairs." ell, this will be a chance for us to find out," said Mra. Hooper again, "and whether he decides to lend u* his place or not I think we ought to Invite him to make the Fourth of July address." “Well, you can ask him to do that too while you are about It, Mra. Hooper," sa'd the president. Before leaving the club Mra. Ilooper Invited half a dozen of the motbera w boae children attended the Saturday afternoon dancing class to come over and have 'tea with her next Wednesday afternoon and talk over some plan for assisting the teacher. The menu for the three meals on Saturday is: BREAKFAST. Stewed Khubard Toached Eggs on Toaat Cereal Muffins Coffee. LUNCHEON. Stuffed Eggs. -Nut Sandwiches Fruits Milk. DINNER. Cream of Spinach Soup.

W. B. 11. A. The Cemeterlal Branch of the Quartermaster Corps says that there is no appropriation by the Federal Government f.r the burial of soldiers’ widows. In capes where a soldier is burled in a National cemetery and It Is anticipated that his widow will be hurlod In tho same grave with him, arrangements are made with the War Department so that the grave will be made deep enough for a second casket to be placed upon tho solj dler's casket In tho same grave.

WALKER TO PRESENT ‘BOOK OF JOB ’ Under Auspices of League of Women Voters Sunday

“The Book of Job,” the Sabbath attraction of the Stuart Walker Company, at the Murat, next Sunday, is considered by critics to be one of the most notable productions ever given in an American theater. The theatergoers of Indianapolis are fortunate in being able to witness this special performance, which is given under the auspices of the League of Women Voters of this city. The object of dramatising Job, says Mr. Walker himself, was to visualize the spiritual message of faith and patience. "I do not want to delve deeply into Hebrew customs.” said Mr. Walker, “or Into the possibly authentic method of presenting this great Biblical drama. I merely want to make the presentation with all thß reverence and all the feeling that is In me. To me the drama is a spirit and not a method, it Is the eternal way to make things past, the present and the future, facts and fancies alike, to live actually before the eye and ear of the audience. “I do not present ‘The Book of Job’ with any attempt to give accurately detailed scene and costume and Hebraic custom; I present It only for the spiritual accuracy of a man who has patience and faith and who staggers, but does not fall, under trial; like the world today, perhaps. Job Is a man of all time. Therefore, I shall make him and his friends men of all times who speak our own thoughts to us and who hear the Eternal Voiee as we too, might hear It out of the passing whirlwind,” he states. The music arranged for Job was selected by Elliott Schenck. The beautiful “Hoh'ah No” was used as the main theme on “Cit Motif.” This melody Is heard at the rise of the curtain and roeurs several times during tho performance and is, we are told by Hebraic ntstorians, “associated as representative theme with the Feast of the Tabernacles.” Tho second theme, a melody In C minor, is the latter part of a stropie hymn, the form which was invented by Eleasar Klnir, a cantor of the ninth century. Another characteristic selection made by Mr. Schenck is “The Hymn of Weeping,” “A1 Eilah,” whi<-b is a lament for the capture of Jerusalem by the foe, an example of the plaintive elegies

shown by the inhabitants in waging war against Athens. BEVERAGE PLANTS. Q. What is meant by beverage plants? M. R D. A. Beverage plants are those from the products of which some of the common non-alcoholic beverages are prepared; among them are: the coffee tree (cofree arabica) —the cacao tree (theobroma cocao) and the tea shrub (camellia thea). SKETCH OF HERODOTUS. Q. Was Herodotus, the great historian, a Greek or a Persian? T. K. K. A. Herodotus, the Greek historian, was a subject of Persia. He was born at Halicarnassus, In Asia Minor. At the time of the birth of Herodotus (c. 454 B. C.) Halicarnassus was ruled by a queen under the swuy of the Persians.* ORIGIN OF “DREADXAUGHT." Q. Who originated the name “dreadnaught,” and what does It mean? A. S. L. A. Vlctorlo Cunibertl, on Italian naval constructor, is said to have been the originator of the term “drendnaught,” as applied to naval vessels. This terms is

The three comforters, Eliphcs, Bildad, and Zophar will be rlayed by Goorge Somnes, John Wray, and Aldrich Bow-, ker.

Fred' Barnes’ bass notes far below C-level, together with Jenny's cheerful chirpings, and sudden ripples of uncontrollable keep the audience highly amused. Fulton and Burt present a skit, “The Kold-up Girl,” showing that the eternal feminine is vitally the same whether in the olden days or at present writingl A series of song3 and dances are of-, sered by Newkirk and the Payne sisters In a nicely-staged act. Milligen. a big man with a little derby, who tells rather “risque” stories, and the Thomas Trio, comedy gym-' naets. together with the Pathe News and Fun Foto films, complete the bill. -I- -I- -I----ON VIEW TODAY.

The uniform strength of an armament In a dreadnaught supplies a unity of strength and protection, and a higher speed than Is obtained by ether types of battleships. A dreadnaught also has an unusually large displacement la proportion to the rest of her dimensions. STAGE PHRASES DEFINED. Q. What is the difference between a farce, a comedy and a farce comedy? j A. R. B. A. The difference between a comedy and a farce is chiefly iu the plot. In a com-, cdy the plot is subordinated to the characters, while in a far<e the working of the plot makes the characters what they! are. “Farce comedy” is a vulgarism ap-i plied to nearly any type of light plays in' which the comic situations go to prepos-; terous lengths. VALUE OF DIAMOND DUST. Q. What is diamond dust worth and what is it used for? J. V. S. ' A. Diamond dust is worth about 81,000 an ounce, and is used for cutting and polishing diamonds and other stones.
