Advertising offices } New \ or k. Boston. Payne. Burns A Smith, Inc. WHAT township do you live in today? AND BESIDES, all those men about to be discharged from the Army may not vote right in 1924. THE PUBLIC SERVICE commission must have been surprised to receive a petition for a rate reduction. IN THE NEXT city election they might dlsannex everything but Indiana avenue and then re-annex the remainder of the city after the election. THEY are hunting a twelve-foot alligator at Wabash. The Government should get busy and put its prohibition enforcement department in operation again. THE MARION COUNTY law library has come into possession of a Bible. The legal fraternity should now get busy and read about what happened to Ananias. CONGRESS Is now being asked to rush tariff legislation and tax reduction legislation, thus planning merely to shift the tax burden from one place and put it in another. ■ THE GOVERNMENT is suing the street car company for damage to 1 mail truck. And the truck was running on pavements built and mainlained by the company. * IT is more than a coincidence that that headline "Farmers Aided by New Tariff’’ appeared simultaneously with the announcement of ninety-eight-cent wheat in Indianapolis. INDICATIONS are that the public service commission may actually comply with the law and value the property of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company before it increases rates. THAT PROPOSAL of Secretary Hoover that bankers help carry over the sugar and cotton crops bears some resemblance to that much deplored “buy a bale of cotton" movement. THE TAX BOARD now has the admission of the remonstrators that their opposition to the issuance of school bonds is not based on lack of necessity but on displeasure over the supervision of the expenditures! BOTH of our contemporaries have now publicly admitted the existence .01 J-&jj,eball pools in Indianapolis, h-?nce it is safe to recall that the Times suggest* and as much a year age, but the “good government" administration refused to concede it! Champion Tax Dodger Hats must be removed to New York again. This time it is on having the champion tax dodger. A manufacturer of perfume seemed to regard the Federal income tax as a Joke, for he made no return for 1918, paid S4OO for 1919 and $4 for the year 1920. The tax for the latter year should have been $101,182. It is said this man is a foreigner, had shipped his family away and was about to go. without settling with the Government. It is to be hoped that after payment of his taxes he will be urged to go in peace and to remain in perpetuity. It is no excuse that the other man does not pay his tax. Two wrongs do not make one right. To put this tax dodger, who made a poor job of his dodging, in his correct catagory, really leaves him very low in the scale of humanity. He may have had little regard for the slack Federal nrohibition officers and none for the professional office holder. Neither has any one else. But a certain proportion of the taxes collected goes to pay for the care and treatment of disabled soldiers, another part refunds the war debt, while still another supports the law* making machinery which is sizzling even now in Washington, to protect American liberty and opportunity. The man who beats the collector of taxes is a traitor on a small scale. He is a small person who will accept the benefits given by the Nation and then endeavor to avoid his taxes. Try Ravensuood When a person is easily shocked by the behavior of the other fellow, or the opposite sex, one of two inevitable conclusions follow. He is growing old, or the other person is outrageous. So*. the general welfare committee of the board of aldermen of New r York City, who are wrestling with the bathing suit problem, are either aged or outraged, by conditions, even at Coney Island. It is claimed that one female bathing costume in fifteen is immodest and that one suit in fifteen worn by males is modest. However what was immodest yesterday might not be so today. A few years ago one of the rare recompenses of a crowded barber shop and its long wait was the “Police Gazette” with its pictures of females, such as are now seen in the Sunday supplements of all daily papers. A youth arrested in Chicago recently, on complairt of neighbors, told the police he was practicing the Sunday supplement poses he had seen in the papers. In former times it was thought a part of modesty not to expose a woman's leg. Some still think this. Other women take advantage of short skirts on the streets and on the beach they forget everything—including modesty. This is tLeir own exposure, to be sure, but if it is pardonable In them, why arrest the youth in Chicago, posing almost nude before the window ? Modesty and virtue are their own reward. It is useless to cry modesty, however, or to ask that it be respected when boards of aldermen must regulate bathing clothes. If modesty were present, it would simply forbid. * . Judge LahPs Salary The Marion County commissioners paid a pretty compliment to Judge Frank Lahr when they raised his salary as judge of the juvenile court from $4,000 to $7,000 by a special action, recently. The juinile court is just a3 important as any other tribunal; indeed, some regard it as of more consequence, for the litigants before it are often of the formative period of life, when the action of authorities will either make good citizens of them, or will forever impress upon them an unfortunate idea of society and of the administration of justice. The child knows right from wrong but should be dealt with differently from the grown and often hardened criminal. They should be kept apart and the court proceedings which are appropriate for one are Inapplicable to the other. - The growth of the court, exclusively for juveniles, or possibly involving them with others, is a mark of progress in the world. The humane administration of law is as necessary as is the certainty of it. In the discharge of his duties Judge Lahr has been efficient and conscientious and it is gratifying his salary was increased the same as the salaries of other judges. The Flag! An organization which recently conducted a patriotic celebration notified those in authority that about fifty of their members would precede the American flag and would see that every one saluted it properly. This might not be amiss during the Fourth cf July parade here. The war is over, some will say, and for this reason the occasion for saluting is past, but such reasoning is faulty. True, the war is over, all but the treaty shouting and every one, including the shouters, wishes that, too, was off the program; but because Old Glory has survived another war there is all the more respect due it. The American flag has never acknowledged defeat since Betsy Ross designed it. Its history has never been paralleled in the interest of humanity. Indeed, it has taught those against whom it fought to respect it and to know the meaning of its stars and stripes. What unwritten iy>ries await unknown heroes serving under its beneficent folds cannot be the flag comes along in the parade let every man remove his he don’t let someone remove it for him. '

SATURDAY. JULY 2. Astrologers read this as rather a doubtful day. While Venus dominates in benefle aspect, Mars, the Sun and Mercury are all strongly adverse. Affairs of women should be well directed during this planetary government which makes for success in the most ambitious projects. This should be a lucky wedding day, bringing conatant love and unvarying sympathy. Financially, the stars may not be Wind.

Woman Sold Beer at 25 Cts., Witnesses Say Sheriff George Snider and Sergeant Doan of the police department broke up a beer party at a farmhouse four miles south of Indianapolis last night. They arrested Nora Armstrong. 47. and Albert Teagarden, 40, both giving their address as Rural Route D, box 158. The house that was raided was on a side road leading west from the Three-Notch road, four miles south of the city limits. Two bushel baskets of home made beer with a “kick" in it were brought to the city as evidence. Three men and three women who wore at the house were not arrested, but the sheriff subpoenaed them to be in court as witnesses. The six admitted buying the beer from Mrs. Armstrong and Teagarden at 20 cents a bottle, the officers say. MORE SHOP HANDS AT WORK.

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times bow the many present-day problem* of the home are solved by wokring on , the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved 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. All the plans for tne garden party had been formulated when the club met to hear the report of the various committees. Each member of the club had contributed $1 as an assessment; the town had voted them S3O toward their expenses and each woman had undertaken to furnish her pro rata of cakes or sandwiches, which were to be dispensed with the ice cream and tea at the various booths erected about the grounds. Each ie© cream booth, the tea table, coffee table, chocolate table and lemonade stand had been assigned to a chairman, who had in turn selected her assistants from among the women of Mayfield, whether they happened to be membe's of the club or r.ot. It was decided to have a cashier’s booth at which tickets fur refreshments would be sold at 23 cents each, uml Mrs. Hooper was chosen to preside at this ami the Bride was permitted to have her fortunetelling booth. All the decorating had been left in the bands of Mr. Jackson, at Ills suggestion, and a letter was read from him In which he said that he had taku the liberty of adding us his con tributlon an orchestra that would come down from the city and play all the afternoon in the big ballroom in the left wing of the house, which he would open so the young people could dance during the afternoon. Mrs. Hooper's assignment for the re-

freshments had been the contribution of four cakes, and this had also been the Bride's quota, and also that of Mrs. BUggs, so before leaving for home Mrs. Hooper had suggested that the three of thetn get together at once and plan the kind of cake each one would make, order all the material on the way home and then meet tomorrow at the home of one of them and bake the whole twelve cakes at one time. This seemed such a sensible suggestion that the Bride and Mrs. Briggs agreed to It at once. “I shall be very glad to have you come to my house," said Mrs. Hooper. “We can use the range in the laundry and the gas stove In the kitchen. It will be fearfully hot. but we could begin right after breakfast tomorrow morning.” “I think you'd both better come to my house," said Mrs. Briggs cordially. "Mrs. Hooper has done so much that I think I ought to do my share by having all that baking don© on my premises. The range and the gas stove are both in the kitchen and it might be handler.” "Well, you can't come to my house,” laughed the Bride, "because no such extensive baking as that could be done in my small quarters." “Well, then. It s decided that you come to my house.” said Mrs Briggs. "I'll exited you right after breakfast tomorrow." “I think we will accomplish very much more and do it much more economically than if we tried to work separately with each one of us making four cakes," con eluded Mrs. Hooper. it was decided that the money paid In an assessment by tae club women and the money voted by the town for their needs should be used for the purchase of the ice cream, coffee, tea, sugar, chocolate and lemons and that the energies of the women should be concentrated on making the cakes and sandwiches. A telephone

message was received from the town creamery before they adjourned that the proprietor wished to contribute all the milk and cream that they would need for the part so there was much congratulation at the elimination of this expense. The final report before adjournment was to the effect that the boys' and girls from the high school had been specially invited to act as waiters and waitresses and that each woman having a booth had arranged with a group of them to act as her special corps of workers so that there would be no confusion. Mrs. Hooper’s menu for the three meals on Saturday was: BREAKFAST Baked Apples Cereal Fish Hash Soast Coffee LUNCHEON Stuffed Eggs with Lettuce Bread and Butter Seed Cake Milk DINNER Broth with Barley Mutton Croquettes Spinach Mashed Potaoes Cold Rice Pudding LETTUCE SANDWICHES. Boil eggs until they are crumbly or about forty minutes, chop fine and season with salt and pepper. Take the heart of the lettuce and pick It to the finest shreds with the fingers (never chop it), mix the egg and lettuce evenly, spread on thin slices of buttered bread. Always make sandwiches very thin.— Copyright, 1921.

TOM CAN’T HELP BEING AN ACTORM ’Cause He B’ers Trained for the Stage From Youth A

Tom Powers, who made his debut with the Stuart Walker Company Monday night in "My Lady Friends,” is an experiment in dramatic training. He is the son of a banker who was destined for the stage by his drama-loving mother before he was born, and later trained for the theater by every means of culture and stimulation of ambitions that wealth and social opportunity could give. He was sent to a school of the ballet when he was 3 years old to give his muscles grace. He became a pupil of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts

He studied dramatic construction, wrote, produced and acted plays iD the little theater he was allowed to maintain in the attic of his father's home. • Mr. Powers first appeared npon the stage as a member of a stock company playing the smaller cities in the East. He next secured a position in vaudeville with Edwin Holt In George Ade’s "The Mayor and the Manicure.” He then joined the Vltagraph forces, his early life in Kentucky and his knowledge of horses standing him In good stead. His picture work eventually took him to England, where he remained several years until the war.

A Brief Story of Motion Pictures—Continued Muybridge’s successor in the development of motion pictures was Dr. E. J. Marejr, who perfected a camera which would with a single iens take as many pictures per second as were needed to give the illusion of motion ;, a distinct advance over Muybridge's method of using so many cameras. Even with the eld of this new invention, the pictures seen on the screen moved very jerkily, and were anything but satisfactory. It was Thomas Edison who realized that there must be not only a better camera with which to take pictures but also a better projection machine for them. lie Invented a machine which permitted one person to see a motion picture. by looking through a stereoscopic Ipus turning a handle, which turned the film inside the box he looked into. Most of us can remember seeing motion pictures in just that way; some of the “Penny Arcades” still have these machines. Edison had perfected a sort of film, but It was George Eastman, of Rochester, who put flexible film on the market in 1896. 0. Thomas Jenkins took the next notable step in developing motion pictures in this country; in Richmond, Indiana, in 1894, he showed on a sheet, hung at the end of his cousin's jewelry store, a picture of a girl dancing—this was the first exhibition of motion pictures which really resembled the picture shows which we have now. Mr. Jenkins' contribution to motion picture history was a projetw tion machine which used the new Eastman' film.

With Thomas Armat he developed this machine, which was bought by the Edison Interests. A little later an artist who wa appearing in vaudeville bought one of these machines, and with a magician, who also appeared in vaudeville, formed a company for making motion picture*. These men were J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith, and their company vil the Vltagraph Company. Picture shows began to spring up after thqt. They were shown in stores whoso entrance was built to look like the obI serration platform of a train, the pictures being of foreign lands, comedies, fires. The Edison company built a little studio with a roof that could be raised to admit the sun. From then on real picture plays began to be made. In 1896 Joseph Jefferson appeared in the movies, for the Blograph Company, doing "Rip Van Winkle.” But the first real "movie” was "The Great Train Rohhejy,” in which “Broncho Billy" Anderson first appeared on the screen. The whole subject of lighting had not yet been touched upon; Cooper Hewitts and Kliegls were yet to ba into the motion picture stud'z.J Using really big stories, great crowd > m people, huge sets- these were all latei developments In motion picture hlstoAy.
