THE BEST thing Congress does is recess. HOW MUCH will that $2,000,000 fire increase the price of gasoline? \v hf.\ i.*v h*R things become particularly dull a battleship is sent to Tampico. THE PEACE resolhUon sounds about as reasonable as the attempt Henry Ford made to end the war. THE INDIANAPOLIS schools should be remembered in the distribution of that $400,000 to the financially poorer schools of the State. ABOUT THE TIME the street railway company would complete all that proposed special work for car rerouting the council would change its mind. IT MUST BE pleasing to the lawless element to learn that General Dawes started by cutting $2,500,000 from the prohibition enforcement funds. EXPERTS say the present hot weather and rains will mean a Lumper corn crop. What effect will this have on the price of the ultimate pork chop? THAT INSURANCE COMPANY which has announced it will discharge all girls who bob their hair apparently has not discovered that some of em veil their own. PRESIDENT HARDING walked three blocks and got bis picture printed as a result If the flivvers continue to increase even the ordinary trian will be a curiosity. \ A WASHINGTON DISPATCH says the creation of anew Federal court and anew internal revenue district in Indiana is contemplated. Senator New will need all the organization he can obtain. WHY is it that some publications give so much time and space to lamenting the tragedy of 6ome worn-out, aristocratic family, when there are so many problems at hand involving the destiny of some rising families? WHAT could be a more befitting memorial to those who gave then lives that American ideas might live than a great university in Indianapolis, where the survivors of the American'Army and their children and their children's children might gain knowledge to carry on those American ideas?

.4 Municipal Problem A program of conciliation ought to be adopted by the city administration toward those citizens who comprise the territory known as West IndiaiApolis before there is an open revolt in the corporate body. wSt Indianapolis is threatening to secede from Indianapolis and the movement which is underway is really a serious one. The territory numbers among its citizens men and women who do things and unless some heed is paid to their complaints ere long there will be a bigger problem before the administration than the administration is capable q( handling. West Indianapolis is that part of the city that was presented with the infamous garbage plunt that Mayor Jewett and his friends bought of J. P. Goodrich and his friends, with $175,000 of the sanitary district's money, after one of the private owners had testified that the plant was not worth the cost of junking it Recently, there has been a determined effort on the part of the Jewett administration to establish a mule barn in the territory, although no one has yet been able to say just why there should be a mule barn anywhere. This proposed "improvement" of West Indianapolis has brought forth a storm of protest, which, unplacated, has developed into a determination to eliminate the garbage plant as well as to keep out the mule barns. Indianapolis needs this part of the city just as much as it needs the north side. Certainly no one will argue that the inhabitants of any part of the city ought to be in a humor to retire from the corporation. Perhaps secession might be blocked in the courts, but the courts cannot change the disposition of the citizens and there is certainly nothing to be gained by permitting them to remain in a state of mind that prompts disannexation proceedings. One of the biggest complaints that has been registered against the Jewett administration is that it seems to exist only for the benefit of that part of Indianapolis that lies adjacent to Morton Place, from whence sprung the boom for Mr. Thomas C. Howe for mayor. Mayor Jewett might help dissipate the feeling that he Is not big enough to be mayor of all Indianapolis by negotiating a peace with the citizens of West Indianapolis.

Dignity The dignity of the justice court of Marion County, Indiana, wherein the fair city of Indianapolis is situated, shall be upheld. Squire Glass had to fine an attorney $5.00 to make him understand and sentence him to jail too, but afterwards suspended the durance vile, upon proper apology. The justice of the peace will not be so lenient next time and it would be well for persons having business with the honorable court to draw nigh with caution and good manners. Hereafter the placing of one foot upon the court furniture will be regarded as one offense and the putting of two feet will constitute two separate and several breeches of fiecorum contrary to the peace and dignity of the State of Indiana. Pities who use tobacco will be required to regard properly the spittoons so kindly furnished by the court. Carelessly to kick over a spittoon, whether empty or full, will be an offense and render the offender subject to a fine and three-fourths of an hour in jail. To spit conslstantly and repeatedly and miss the spittoon will be a contempt of court meriting severe punishment. Regardless of July weather attorneys will not be permitted to practice in court without coats. The justices have marriage parlors in connection with their offices and a great deal of embarrassment has arisen by reason of indecorous attorneys rushing into a solomn ceremony unfittingly clad. A fine of one dollar will be levied for each offense in this regard against an attorney, with five dollars against litigants and twenty dollars against persons charged with violation of automobile rules or failure t<T pay dog tax. The dignity of the law shall be upheld from now on even if an unpleasant duty requires the justices to close their eyes and administer it faithfully and impartially against friends and attorneys. Bathing Beaches Several years ago. when pollution of streams in and about Indianapolis was attracting the attention of sanitarians certain influences that pretend to control all things hereabouts leaned toward the theory that it would be much more practicable for the city to build swimming pools for the citizens than to attempt to make it safe to bath in either Fall creek or White river. When the pollution of these streams became so general as to make bathing in them dangerous there was offered to the public a promise of pools to be erected the next year to supplant the popular swimming holes of the creek and river. Now that there are swimming pools in sight, the same influences that advocated them several years ago are giving voice to the theory that the city owes it to the public to make the streams sanitary. There is no doubt that the enjoyment of the river and the creek would be far greater than enjoyment of swimming pools if the water of the streams could be made sanitary. But it will take years of work and a tremendnous investment to divert the sewage that now l pollutes these streams. And in the meanwhile the citizens would have, as they have had for several summers, no bathing places. For the sake of suffering humanity let us not permit a very laudable desire for clean streams to interfere with an immediate demand lor swimming places! Let us be consistent long enough to provide bathing places before this summer ends!

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 tiie Dally Times bow the many present day problems of the home are solved by working 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 me* t the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) WEDNESDAY. “I just think my room is too lovely for anything,” said Helen to /her mother. "I feel happy every time I look at it and it seems to" be really mine more than the white one ever did.” "I'm glad you like It so much.” her mother answered, "and I do think Roger made the furniture look wonderfully well.” "Everybody helped to make It pretty,” continued the grateful child; "that's another thing I like so much about It. The Bride did nil those baskets of roses on the furni'ure and helped us buy the curtains and hem them, and yon fixed that nice writing table for me, and father picked out all those books for my book shelf, and said I could have them for my very own, and that they’d never have to go back in the book case downstairs.” "Well, you are getting old enough now, Helen, to want pretty things around you,” her mother went on, "and I'd like you to learn that It Isn't a question of having a great deal of money, but that If you have taste and pick things out carefully, and know Bow to put things together and —most important of all—to take care of them when you have them, it is really a simple matter to have attractive surroundings.” "Oh, I’m going to take care of everything In this room,” exclaimed Helen. "I Just feel as If I could live in it all the time.” "Well, you mustn’t do thr-.t.” laughed her mother. "You want to be out In the open air and in the vegetable garden as much as possible during you vacation days. But when you feel tike coming to

REM ANI) SWANSON WILL APPEAR In Another All Star Special for Paramount.

Wallace Reid and Gloria Swanson, who ' played the leading roles In Cecil B. DeMille's twelve star special production, “The Affairs of Anatol,” soon to be released by Paramount, will be seen together In another all-star special to be made at the Lasky studio. This announcement was made at Hollywood by Jesse L. Lasky, who stated that work on the new production would be started as soon as Wallace Reid returns from New Y’ork, where he is now engaged with Elsie Ferguson in the production of "Peter Ihbetson,” under the direction of George Fitzmaurlee. Elliott Dexter, who played the role of Max, Anatol’s friend In "Anitol," and also has a big part In “Peter Ibbetaon,” will have a leading role in the new picture, the story of which is by Lorna

your room and shutting the door, you know that it is entirely your own.” Tht little bedroom did look attractive and '-ery different from the white hospital 'ike one which had made Mrs. Hooper neuse one day and wonder If her little daughter might not be happier and less likely to develop habits of thought and action that might mean consta; : disciplining if she had a prettier room. The old one had been spotless and white and Mrs. Hooper had prided herself on having trained Helen to keep It neat and In order, though she was not by nature an orderly child. But she suddenly realized that it was cold and Impersonal and that Helen might very well hate It, w thout even knowing that she did so. But instead of punishing her very severely when she discovered that Helen had begun to deceive her, and tell falsehoods very glibly, she decided to give her a pretty room to divert her. And the plan seemed to be working so that the money put Into redecorating the room would undoubtedly prove a good investment. It was a square room and the window opening on the garden at the side of the house, had sash curtains of plain white scrim and side draperies and a narrow balance of pink rosebud dotted material that hung In soft, graceful folds. The furniture of French blue with pink rosebuds stenciled on It consisted of the little wooden bedstead, with anew ruffled cover of a heavier materia! than the win dow draperies but with the same rosebud pattern; a low dresser with a small lacquer box, a pin tray and a clothes brush on It; the little shalf-dressing table on which stood the small white basket that Mrs Hooper had provided for Helen to carry her toilet articles to the bathroom ; two low chairs and the new writing table. Mrs. Hooper had fitted the table with a pale pink blotter, a glass inkstand, a pen and pencil tray, a pad of small pink blotters tied with a blue bow, a calendar and a little stamp box. Some writing paper and envelopes and a notebook were In the drawer. Roger had built In two book shelves that fitted Into the corner beside the desk, and on

NAVY YARD AID HAS WIDE POWER To Coordinate Management of Industrial Plants. WASHINGTON, July 6.—Cspt. Arthur Lee Willard, recently detached from command of the dreadnought New Mexico, has arrived in Washington under orders to report as Aide for Navy Yards to the Secretary of the Navy. ,Thts is a npw office, and its creation marks the initiation of a system or coorlinated management of the Navy's industrial establishment. which includes the gun factory at the Washington Navy Yard and the construction of dreadnoughts and other war vessels at the New York Navy Yard and other stations. Captain Willard was in charge of the gun factory at the Washington Navy l Y’ard several years end nnder his direcI tion the mine battery guns for the latest types of dreadnoughts were produced, j He also had charge of the construction of : the Railroad Batteries sect tc France for use on the American front. The appointment of Captain Willard followed an order by Secretary Penhy. issued June 16, changing the system for the commandant of each yard authority 1 oyer its industrial actiyities and restricts the authority, heretofore held by industrial managers. The system of placing Industrial managers in charge of plants at the Yards which were building warships or engaged in other important construction work wag started at the Norfo'k Y'ard by Secretary Daniels. The system worked very well except that it diyided responsibility between the commandant and the manager With no full supervision over the business manager, the commandant was virtually helplesa. Frequently it was difficult to determine the dividing line between military expenditures, under the charge of the commandant, and industrial expenditures under the charge of the industrial manager. The new aid for Navy Yards has been instructed to establish a uniform system of management for all yards and stations. The office of Industrial manager will be continued under the limitation imposed upon his authority. The Navy Depart ment will select naval officers for these positions in some yards: but the department falls to designate a manager, the commandant will choose his own.

The Personal Appearance Until fairly recently I never made personal appearances in connection with my pictures in which I appeared. To be frank about it, the mere thought of doing suchj a thing scared me to pieces. I didn't know what to say, or how to say it. if people called on me for a speech. And I felt that those who had seen me On the screen aud liked my work would much prefer not to see me factf to face and perhaps be disillusioned. So I always stayed as far away from the pnDiic as I could, except on the screen. Bnt with the first showing of “Way Down East” in New York my pnblic appearance began, and now, though I still don't like to come out in front of the curtain and talk to people. I seem to have fallen into the habtt of doing it. And each time I wonder if it's good idea, and wish I knew whether audiences really like to have ns step out of pictures nnd appear in the flesh. Bryant Washburn used to think it was a good idea. I remember that when he was with Essanay, in Chicago, he used to go around to the neighborhood theaters nnd make personal appearances, and sometimes he'd stand at the door of the theater and shake hands with the audience as they went out. He said people liked to know ns, that it was a friendly thing to do. Now. I'm as eager to knovy people as anyone could be, but I depend on my mail to help me do it. And it doesu't seem to me that my coming out in front of the curtain and saying that I'm glsd to be there makes people feel that they know me. Besides. I am literally shaking all over with stage fright when I have to do it. I'll never forget one persona! appearance that Richard Bartholmess, and I made in connection with “Way Down East.” I didn’t want to go out, and

100 BUSINESS SUITS WANTED Used Clothing Collected for Near East Relief. Near East wants 100 Indianapolis business men to *skirmlsh through wardrobes and trunks and resurrect 100 suits of used clothing, tie them in bandies and save them for "bundle day,” Tuesday, July 12. The relief association will ask these donors to send their bundles to a special committee of Armenian women, which Mrs. K. Ashjian is selecting, to be stationed in a downtown district. The committee probably will include two or three Armenian brides, who have recently escaped from Turkey to come to this city. “Every one of these women have families who have suffered from Turkish persecution,” said Mrs. Ashjtan. When a girl Mrs. Asbjian was a student in the American college at Harpoot when It was burned and looted by Turks. Secretary Mead A. Kelsey of the Near East committee says Indianapolis must contribute ct least a carload of clothing to make the State’s quota of thirteen carloads expected by national headquarters!*. Many of the railroads are offering to carry the clothing free to the New York general warehouse of Near East relief. About forty local pastors have thus far agreed to the use of their church buildings as bundle stations next Tuesday. Before the end of the week it Is expected offers will come from all dtK pastors. The Y. M. C. A. is to be one of the downtown receiving stations. Next Sunday pa store will make special bundle day announcement from their pulpits. P.undle day activities are being conducted from State headquarters of Near East relief, 403 City Trust building.

DREXELSTAR IN MOVIE SCANDAL Eastern Financier Charged With Overcapitalization. NEW YORK, July 6.—The Indictment of Anthony J. Drexel, son of the Philadelphia traction pan, on a charge 61 | over capitalizing a film company, became known when Elliott Norton, a ! member of the firm, was arraigned before Judge Alfred J. Talley In general sessions. Mr. Drexel 13 said to be in Europe. Included in tbe Indictment with Drexel : are Norton and Louis B. Jennings and ' Harry Brolaski. None of them had been I taken into custody except Norton. He | wos held In $5,000 bail. The charges which Drexel must face ! when he ictums are that, with his three : partners, ?\e entered a scheme to over- ' sell the capital stock of the company they had organized. According to the papers filed, th*> Standard Film Industry, Inc., has offices at 71 West Uinatleth street. It Is alleged to have been organized in Virginia la October, 1918, with 200 shares valued at Jo each. The, complaint alleges that $359000 In stock : wag sold. In 1919 Jennings and Brolaski were indicted on a similar charge, but were 'released when the indictment was thrown j out. John Doe proceedings were then instituted and they were likewise thrown I ouL Norton said when he was arraigned that his offices and headquarters were at 2 Rector street and were not concerted with the film company. The assistant district attorney brought the present charges against the men after receiving a flood of complaints, especially from poorer people who said they had bought stock. Jennings is absent from the city, according to authorities, and Is said to be In California. Brolaski was understood to be manager of the company.

neither did be, but finally he Mid that he'd go if I wonld. “Will yon make a speech ?” 1 demanded. “Sure," he answered, stepping aside for me to go out on the stage in front of him. So I went. He came out with me, and we stood there, and the andieDce applauded. and then stopped and waited for one of ns to say something.

And I realised that the sjieech that was made, If one was made, would bo made by me. I don't know yet whHt I said, but It must have been all right, because nobody protested.
