THOSE LITIGANTS divorced and then remarried, and who are now seeking another divorce, should be sure they have their minds made up before they try It again. THE CHINAMAN may be the most honest, as that Insurance expert contends, but he is not the least suspicious. Did the said expert eTer lose a 1 arm dry ticket? CHICAGO real estate dealers are now so eager to rert apartments thut they have condescended to carry prospective tenants to their property In automobiles. What Is that old one about he who laughs last? ADVOCATES of the plan to create an assistant to the President overlook the fact that there are now thousands of the faithful who insist on giving Mm all the assistance he can stand! Another Treasury Outlet After a long period of manipulation that extended to the Legislature, the city administration has at uncovered a way by which It can spend public money without the approval of the city council, and It appears that it intends to lose no time in the spending. The transfer of the garbage and ash collections to the sanitary board was the preliminary step ♦award a free road to the public till and the first dip into public money under the new method is, apparently, to he undertaken soon under the guise of purchasing tractors to do away with the mules that are now used to haul ash and garbage wagons. The city council is not In & position to block bond Issues or appropria*tlons of public money by the sanitary board. The sanitary district Is a separate taxing unit from the municipal government and while its board members have practically all the functions of the municipal government there are none of the checks established by las - which have proved so obnoxious to the Jewett administration. Asa result of the transfer of the garbage and ash collection duties to this board, a method has been evolved by which a tremendous political machine may be built and maintained at public expense, without fear of Interference by the only governmental agency that has ever stood between the taxpayer and the public officials who would exploit him. The history of the sanitary board, previously to the transfer to It of Jurisdiction over the ash and garbage collections, Is not reassuring. * This Is the board that paid $175,000 for the garbage plant after testimony was offered the board of review that the plant was worth less than the cost of junking it. It Is also the board that entered into a contract with a bonding company to complete a contract at an increased price, after a contractor had failed to live up to his obligation and regardless of the fact that the bonding company had guaranteed the performance of the contract at the original prioa. Ever since this sanitary board was created secrecy and poor business judgment has marked its course. Today there is no department of the government in which the people have so little confidence, or concerning which they are permitted to have so little knowledge. Now, thanks to the manipulation of the Jewett administration, this board, with almost unlimited bonding power, has been entrusted with jurisdiction over mnnicipal work in which it ts well established there has been prolific waste of public funds in the vast. And, most unfortunately, this board is not subjected to the usual checks that make It difficult to waste public money. The Wets Parade By actual count, certified by auditing firm, there were 14,922 persons in the anti-prohibition parade, staged in New York July 4. Os this number 9-46 were musicians cr policemen. The New York Times says: Nearly half the persons in the parade were members of Italian an£ German societies, many of the latter'being accompanied by their wives and daughters. Labor organizations contributed perhaps a fifth of tho total number, while strong contingents were sent by various social and athletic club3. of which tbo Jolly Owls from the west side of Manhattan, and the Original Nut Ciub of Yorkvllle seemed to be strongest. The Consolidated Bowling Clubs of Yorkville also sent a numerous delegation. The demonstration, staged by the wets and touted as a parade that would be participated in by hundreds of thousands of citizens, was a disappointment. The alibi advanced by its promoters was the excessive heat. While it is reasonable to assume that the heat int.erferred with the parade, it i3 hardly likely that it was the cause of the fizzle. Tho failure of the demonstration can much better be laid to the fact that the nubile has realized the futility of opposing prohibition -nd having realized mch futility Is content to make the best of it without useless protests. New York is not a prohfb t‘on community. Prohibition was wished on New Yorl*. by the great preponderance of public sentiment elsewhere in the oonntiy. Like Eome of our local leaders who do not keep pace with public sentiment New Yorkers dismissed the possibilities of a dry Manhattan as zn ‘inconceivable thing.” But Manhattan became dry along with the rest of the country and now the people of New York are beginning to realize that prohibition la here to stav. The parade ".as composed principally of foreigners who have not yet become accustomed to the American rule of the majority, some radicals who never acknowledge majority rule and several delegations of a convivial sort, who could easily be prevailed upon to turn out. The demonstration demonstrated nothing so much as the general \ acceptance of prohibition as a part of the Constitution of the United States. Self-Appointed Censors! It is rather difficult to understand the attitude of the present heads of The Indianapolis Humane Society in their persistent efforts to ignore the general public, upon which the society is dependent for its support. Apparently they have an idea that their titles carry- with them certain prerogatives that include a censorship of facts and public records. President Roberts refuses to make public a report of public Interest and pleads that he has been “too busy” to ascertain whether it should be made public, Just as though he had been empowered by someone to decide what the public should and should not know. The clerk i the public office in the police station, provided by the taxpayers of Indianapolis for the use of the society, assumes that police records kept there are subject to the jurisdiction of Dr. Pfafflir, and may not be examined without an order from him. No information is given as to how Dr. Pfafflir became the custodian o? police records. It was not thus when the humane society was appealing to the public for funds. It was not thr.3 when the humane society was making arrangements by which the community chest was drawn upon to support its activities. Then the society was very anxious that publicity be given its activities. Now its officers appear to feel that the public has nothing to do with it except, of course, to continue to be the goose that ia ; q the golden egg for it There is a great field for a humane society in this community. A society so officered that it might function in a proper relationship to the public could accomplish a great deal of good. There are many citizens who are ready and willing to cooperate with such a society to the extent of giving both money ad labor. The problem would appear to be one of formulating an organization snch as would put in control of the society some officers and employes who would feel a little less of the Prussian spirit and a little more responsibility toward those on which the organizat'. n is dependent for its existence. t

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a limited will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the' many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper ha* evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In au interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) THURSDAY. “We will have a busy day preserving,” said Mrs. Hboper to Henry, as she said good-bye to him at the front door, “and I’m very glad It Isn’t quite so hot as It was yesterday. “Did you do any preserving yesterday?” asked Henry. “Only that cherry Yum Yum. that yon and Roger seems to like almost as well as you do marmalade. The Bride couldn’t eome as she expected. Some company arrived from the city before luncheon. but she Is planning to be here today. She Is the most anxious little person to begin right that I ever saw. I hope her husband realties how hard she Is trying to be a good housekeeper.” ‘‘Well, he’s a mighty fine chap,” answered Henry. “He goes in on my train every morning and I wouldn’t be surprised if he understands how sensible sho is.” “She’s always played around in the city and loves pretty clothes *o It isn’t so easy,” sold Mrs. Hooper, as Henry ran quickly down the steps. Outside the gate he joined the husbsnc of the Bride who was just going b;. on his way to the train. Mrs. Hooper always used the gas stove In the laundry so: the preserving, and she and the Bride went downstairs a few hours later laden with everything they needed to put up the cherries and strawberries that she had ordered the day be fore. “1 wish you would tell me, Mrs. Hooper, Just what equipment 1 need to do my preserving,” sutd the Bride, “perhaps 1 can’t get everything I ought to have at once, but if you’ll give me a list I’ll write It down now so I can have It baudy to buy the things a few at a time.” “Well, in the first place,” said Mrs. Hooper, “you need two kettles and they must be enameled or porcelain lined, arid those that are shallow and broad rather than deep and narrow are the better shape a sthey expose more fruit to the fire and so cook more in a shorter time—saving gas or fuel. “Then.” continued Mrs. Hooper, as she began to bull the strawberries, “you must have large mixing bowls of earthenware, scales for accurate weighing; some large pans and a collander. A strainer, a fine sieve, a skimmer, a ladle, a large mouthed funnel and a straining bag are also needed as the fruit cooks. “Yes. I haTe that all down,” said the Bride, busl’y writing lu her notebook. “Long handled wooden spoon* are better thsu any others, 1 think.” continued Mrs Hooper, “because they don’t get so hot you can’t handle them If they sre left a few minutes In the kettle with the cooking fruit A strawberry holler can be bought for 5 cents and Is much better than using the fingers and cherry

Tradition adds romance to the beauty of the “Devil's Ice-Box,” at Turkey Run State Park, pictured above. Old Rettlers about the district tell the etorv of cattle rustlers In the nineteenth century. who used to steal and kill cattle, then store them In the ‘‘Devil's Ice-Bo x.” The atmosphere lu this place is so cool as to make a coat feel comfortable lli the hottest of weather.

pltters :e also handy. A silver knife Is beat to use when peeling fruit to avoid darkening It In any way.” “Is the straining bag of any particular kind?” inquired the Bride. “To make it,” replied Mrs. Hooper, “take flannel or cheese cloth—l use a sugar sack sometimes-—about three quarters of a yard square. Fold the lower edge to the left hand side so that It forms a cornucopia and stitch together firmly. Then add a couple of tapes to hang It up by.” “And how- about Jars?” asked the Bride. “New rubbers are needed every year. Never use old ones. Spoiled fruit later will BU”c ! 7 be the result. In order to put up my fruit and vegetables with the cold pack method,” continued Mrs. Hooper, “I have also a wash boiler anil a canning rack that holds eight onequart jars.” “Mrs. Campbell uses a piece of wire screening with coarse meshes an Inch square for a rack in her boiler,” Interrupted the Bride. “Is that practical ?” “Oh, yes, there are a number of homemade devices that answer very well,” replied Mrs. Hooper “but tho regular rack isn’t expensive and It Is safe and shipshape. I went for the longest time. Just fishing m.v jars out of tho wash boiler with anything handy, burning my fingers and taking a chanee always of dropping one until I went down town one day and bought this duplex fork to lift them out properly. Money was never so well Invested.” “Well, I’ll Just begin to sssemble ray canning equipment at once.” said the Bride. “I won’t put up much this year, but I’ll be all ready next season,” HN’ow, If you’ll sterilize those jars,” said Mrs. Hooper, “I’ll show you how to can these strawberries.” “What do I do first?” asked tho Bride. “Fill the jars with cold water and then stand them In that boiler and fill It with water to cover the Jars entirely. Heat slowly and then let them boll for five minutes, and then they will be ready to use.” “Now that my berries are stemmed and washed.” continued Mrs. Hooper, “I put them In a sauce pan and cover them with cold water. Bring them quickly to a boil, strain and pack the fruit in the Jar. topping them down well so they will fit closely. I w it] have to put a quart of berries In a pint Jar. Fill to overflowing with the boiling Juice and adjust the rubber snd lid and partly seal Then I put the Jar* in the hot water bath for thirty minutes, counting the' time from two minutes after the water starts boiling. Fasten securely and set aside to cool." The menu for the three meals on Friday is: BREAKFAST. Siloed Pineapple Cereal Vegetable Hash Com Muffins Coffee. LUNCHEON.

ANIMAL ACTS TO FEATVRE CIRCUS Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Acquire Big European Shows. The biggest trained animal show that ever toured America will be exhibited here soon, when the Ringling Brothers and Barnum A Bailey Combined Circus will present the scores of educated jungle boasts purchased by their representatives in Europe last winter. The presentation includes a combination of the three largest animal shows that have until now traveled only on the continent. The outfit and the more than thirty men who have trained and care for the dumb actors, are carried Intact. Sixteen of a total of more than one hundred railroad cars are required to carry this particular aggregation. It is not shown as a separate attraction, but is made a part of the gigantic program lu the circus main tent. Three out of the gixieen main tent displays will be given over to theae newly Imported thespians when the big circus exhibits here Friday, July 22. These displays Include two kinds of animals—those performed in steel arenas and those exhibited from the rings, stages and hippodrome track. Four arenas of steel are set up ut every performance and at such vantage points as to Insure a complete view of their contents from ail parts of the tent. In these are shown the moat marvelously trained wild animals ever subjugated All :ire_ In charge of the European trainers who taught them the many wonderful tricks which they do. Th“ actors Include ntirp troupes of polar bears, black-maned African Hons, P'-ncal tiger* leopards and jaguars. These beautiful animals walk upon ropes, pyramid In mixed groups, permit their

attendants to place heads, feet and arms in their yawning mouths, while others, submitting to harness, draw vehicles driven by their jungle comrades. Most remarkable of the feats performed within the steel enclosures are those introducing four elephants and as many horses saddled with chalned-armor. Elephants and horses gallop in a circle and as they travel both lions and tigers leap to and from their backs or ride them | with all the assurance of human equestrians. Outside the steel arenus will be presented such novelties as trained camels, who have been taught to do many of the tricks performed by horses. Five troupes of seals will be Included in the dumb animal display. There will be a total of thirty elephants. The entire number will perform In one Immense tableau. Then there will be Mons. Pailen’g Siberian bears, Alf Loyal’s wonderful dogs, almost fifty performing stallions and Shetlarnls, menage and high school horses, snd monkeys, doves, pigs, geese and goats by the score. It Is a five times larger aggregation of animal actors than has ever been brought together before. And ou the same program, and In the same tent will appear more than 600 men and women performers In the biggest circus that ever toured America. SQUADRON TO BE FORMED BY S. OF V.

With Censorship Upon Us Just the other day I heard that the governor ol one of the States where censorship of motion pictures has just been put through has refused to include a woman in the appointments he has made for the committee that will censor the pictures that can be shown In his State. That seems to be most unfair. Women and children support the motion picture Industry. And therefore it is women, it seems to me, who will know best what ought to be shown on the screen. Certainly they are broadminded enough to pass things that could be shown, and to turn down things which many men would pass, because of a clear realization of their unfitness. Os course, the work of a censorship board Is somewhat restricted, because each State has censorship laws of its own Certain things cannot be shown, no matter how the committee may feel about them. But it seems to me that, no matter how cut and dried their work may be. a woman should bo Included in their number. It seems absurd, of course, to accent some scenes In one State and cut then out In another before a picture can be shown. The difference between the law; of our States has always been a drawback of course, and I cannot help feeling that censorship will not be really effi clent—if indeed it can be efficient—wher you can see scenes on one side of a State line that you can’t see on the other I It would seem to be a good Idea to censor audiences rather than pictures Thera are many pictures that ought no* to he released at large, perhaps, that could be shown to some audiences perfectly well, and no doubt do them a great deal of good. I have often felt that th< presence of children in some audiences was absolutely wrong—I know that you must have agreed with me. For In

CHAPLIN PANTS FOR ARMENIANS Sims Also Rounds Up Pickford Gowns in Relief Work.

Many n American kiddle will be ranw ning about in American orphanages In the Bible lands this winter, wearing a pair of Charlie Chaplin’s pants, or a cast off gown of Mary Plckford and possibly an overcoat worn by Douglas Fairbanks, according to Fred L. Sims, former Indians man, who is here from Los Angeles. Mr. Sims “put over” a big campaign for Near East Relief in Southern California, winding up the work for the summer with a used clothing campaign. He will aid the Indiana Near East Relief committee In staging a bundle-day in this city next Tuesday. Mr. Sims says the movie people of LoS Angeles entered enthusiastically Into the call for clothing for Armenian children and grown-ups. The wardrobes of Mary Plckford, Chaplin and Doug Fairbanks were most productive. “Some of the things we dug up in these famous studios Would be in great demand by motion picture fans,” said Mr. Sims, “but they were good warm garments and we bundled them into our Near East collection without attempting to realize money on them. About the only thing we didn’t get was Charlie Chaplin’s famous pants that were so nearly burned." Near East Relief announces that more than forty pastors have already donated their churches as bundle stations for next Tuesday. Jack Rohr, merchant in the Hotel Severin building, will convert his store Into a bundle station with MisfrDora Levy in 'Charge. Out In the State, clothing campaigns hare been started at Muncie, Frankfort, Shelhyville, Danville. Anderson and Marion. South Bend donated 10,000 garments. ORCHESTRA MAY BE BROKEN UP Discord in Ranks of Minneapolis Symphony. MINNEAPOLIS, July 7—The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra may b disbanded. Trouble has arisen between the Orchestral Association and the Mins neapolis Musicians' Union. The issue is whether the members of the symphony orchestra, all of whom belong! to this union, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, can give concerts In a public park when a band is employed whose members belong to another union. The park board was asked by the Minneapolsi Musicians’ Union to repudiate its contract with the other musical union, but refused to do so. The Orchestral Association objected to Interference with its right to control the appearances of Us orchestra. In a letter to guarantors of the orchestra. E. L. Carpenter, president of the Orchestral Association, said no way was spen to continue it unless the musicians receded from their stand. Emil Oberhoffer has been the orches-l tra'B only conductor since it was organJ iz*d in 1903. It was then made possibll by the pledging of S2OO each by fiftJ 10-al citizens.

stance. I liked “The Passion Flower,” a re. ent picture of Norma Talmadge’s, but I was sorry to see a ten-year-oid child sitting in front of me the afternoon I saw it, apparently enjoying it. too. As yet we do not fully appreciate the good that can be accomplished through motion pictures. It will be one of the greatest forces for good that this country has ever known. I believe, when It Is appreciated to the full. I do not believe that curbing the industry as the present censorship laws will curb it 1* going to be a step forward, but of course it Js possible that they will be a help, after all. They may lead to a more widespread expression of public opinion on the subject, and when the producers learn what the public really wants to see on the motion picture screen, and are shown that pictures that aren't fit to be seen will not be patronized, we will have the kind of censorship which the motion picture industry really needs. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Yera M.. Tuxedo—l heard that yon were going to do “When Knighthood Was In Flower;’’ are you? No. I'm sorry to say that I’m not. I wanted to, but was convinced that It would not he wise to do so because historical stories are not in great demand—or weren't at the time when I wanted to do that one, a few months ago. Gregory, West Virginia—Why do so many companies go abroad to make pictures? Production is far more expensive in this country than in England. Germany or the other countries where American com,-, panics have studios. It lg cheaper to get extras, studio space, and the other necessities. And it is easy to get beautiful localities that have not been shown on the screen in this country—Copyright, 1921.
