He doesn't. THAT DELEGATION which came to Indianapolis to seek the release of J. Victor Pinnell of "Belshazzar s feast” fame, discovered there has been a change of administration. WOMEN are wondering how men do without their vests in the summer. What we have often wondered is why convention requires a man t<r wear a coat while women wear almost nothing.
Respecting the Budget Jesse EL Eschbaca, chief of the State board of accounts, appears to harbor the thought that a budget is a budget and that operation under a budget system should not be such as to make the budget a joke. In his announcement that with the installation of the new budget forms provided by our tax laws the State board would not recognize as legal any expenditures not therein 1 provided for, he has taken a stand in the interest of the taxpayers of the State. Nothing is to be gained by‘submitting elaborately prepared budgets to the approval of the taxpaying public if those budgets are to be nothing more than mere bookkeeping conveniences. The new tax law unquestionably wa3 intended to give the ta.rayers a voice in the disbursement of the public funds. It provides that public officials should list the sums or money they propose to expend and base the tax rates thereon. It also provides a method by which taxpayers may protest against the individual items listed in the budget. Logically enforced the budget system, established by the law, is such as to give the taxpayer an opportunity to pass on the expenditure of every dollar that is raised by taxation. This theory of submitting to the taxpayers the purposes for which public officials propose to expend the taxpayers’ money is, of course, obnoxious to the professional politician and distasteful to those public officials who seem to feel that they know best what is good for the public. Out of this reluctance to allow the public a voice in the expenditure of public money has grown a practice which nullifies the budget. Money raised ostensibly for one purpose Is expended for another, after a “transfer” of funds that were established by the budget. Appropriations are made from the treasury for purposes not included in the budget, and against which the taxpayer has no opportunity to protest. The budget is not a binding instrument, and the rights conferred on the taxpayers are easily evaded. This practice, Mr. Eschbach says, will not be regarded as legal by his department and he is certainly right in his ruling. If we are to operate on a budget system the system should at least be sufficiently rigid to make it worth while. On Historic Grounds Draw near, good friends, to matters European and glance, whether or not you possess a passport, at things in far oft vacation climes. Forget the sordid bank account and the wasting round of dull care. Picture yourself standing where great events of the world's history have been made and for a moment or two be a tourist At Chateau-Thierry is seen where the high tide of German force power broke before American and French valor. Now the municipal council of that vilage is planning the opening of a gambling casino for the entertainment of citizens and visitors. Those Americans who go to dream or mentally to re-enact the clash of battle wherein autocracy was defeated may forget a minute and gamble a few francs. The casino will net enable one to see the future clearer from the historic surroundings, but just to feel the thrill of expectancy for a few- seconds. Or go Into Merrle, England, and drink the atmosphere of Stratford-on-Avon. where Shakespeare once breathed and lived and now lies buried. In the handsome memorial theater erected to his memory by loving hands, generations after he had given the world his immortal plays of purest English, may be seen the moving pictures, such as are going at home in the electrically fanned theaters. The admission is nominal, the pictures only mediocre. To each place will flock the citizens of those distant lands and while away the time, whether or not you, gentle pilgrim, are there. Human nature in France, where a charm arises from your ignorance of the language and ways. Is the same, down deep, as in England or America. And in Britain, so rich in history and literature, the same scenes of daily life w-ill be enacted as occur at your own dcor. The charm of it all is Just in the next day, the anticipation and the place for reflection, where once did occur some action, perhaps to be noted in histories for centuries to come. v \ In True Perspective Every one is inclined to believe that all the progress and correct thinkink of the day and age are linked about his owm home, or at least in his own country. The facts are vastly different. An illustration of this occurs in the recent erection of a statue of Washington in Trafalgar Square, London., and in the view taken by the English people of the American hero. Had the narrow-ness of life as it usually prevails, been in greater evidence, then the square which is graced by the monutment of Lord Nelson, England s great naval hero, and by numerous others to whom she pays tribute, would never have given place to a foreigner, especially one , who was a rebel to the British crown. A man of wonderful insight and deep learning. Viscount Boyce, says of Washington and his revolution, “America saved British liberties.” The keen intellect of the British viscount has produced many interesting and convincing studies of America, and if he ventures the opinion that Britain is indebted to America for saving her liberties, that opinion will be regarded as true. The idea that Washington, hero that he always will be to Americans, could now be admired even by those against whom he fought and because of his victories over them could be proclaimed by tbeffi anything excepting an alien enemy, is almost startling. But now the world is in better communication. The effects of actions a. century and a half ago are seen. Happily, too. they are recognized. England knows that, the loss of her American colonies awakened her sordid statesmen and caused great changes in her government. She led in emancipation of slavery and lias stood beside the United States In its ideas of liberty. Her Ideals are strongly influenced by Washington and his statesmanship, so the giving of place for a statue is not amiss. Small individuals have small horizons. Great men and good are to be found amongst all people. To give credit, where it is due and to pay true virtue is indeed worthy of a great nation.

Where’s Your Scenario? While ago soma one said that you could stop any man or woman in the country and say to them "How's your play getting on?” and get an answer that would prove that the person really was writing a play, in one case out of three. Now they tell a different story. They say you could atop any man, woman or child, and in two cases out of throe, if yon asked "How's your scenario?” you'd find that the person has one either on its way to a studio or in the desk at home, partly finished. I believe that's true. I know that pen pie everywhere, from Pullman porters to my hostesses at luncheon or dinner, have told mo that they were writing a atory for the screen and asked my advice about selling it. For a while, some years ago. there was a good chance for the person who wanted to write for the screen and had not established a reputation by writing books or short stores that had been published. Then the ware of great authors hits us. suddenly. “Only printed stories" became the slogan in many a studio, and, though original stories wero read, there was a preference for stories signed by authors who were well known. But presently a reaction sat In. Mary Pickford, the last time she was in the Bast, made a diligent search for stories, and returned to the coast with two original stories by Frances Marian and nothing else in the scenario line Some of the big producing organisations engaged famous authors to write for them, tha authors studied the technique of writing screen atorles, and the results were a disappointment, in a number of cases Some of the big producers re-filmed stories which they had screened a long time before, when we used methods which were not so good as those we use

"He hates my fingers to be all stained the way they are." “I meant to tell you wh.it to do about that the other day,” said Airs Hooper. “Von see mine aren't bad at all In spite of all the work I do. and there Is really no excuse for yours to be In that condition." Mrs Hooper held up her hands, which showed surprisingly little grime or stain to indicate that she was ‘Vblef cook and bottle washer" for a family of five. “How do you do It?" queried the Bride. “In the first place I always keep a cut lemon In a saucer over the sink and use it Immediately after peeling vegetables or frujt.

I shake a little meal over them and wash them as usual. I also always keep a box of one of the good automobile pastes over the kitchen sink so that all of us can remove the ‘pure and simple’ dirt accumulated in gardening." “That seems all easy enough," replied the Bride. “I’ll just provide myself with those first aids to being clean though hard-working and that will satisfy Bob's main objection to my kitchen work. But how can I get these purple stains off my fingers that have been there since the berry season began.” “If you’ll wet your hands and then let the fumes of a lighted Rulphur match slowly rise on them the stains will disappear instantly, said Mrs. Hooper. “If yon want something beside these simple home r<Anedies yon can get some chlorinated soda at the drug store and keep it on your bathroom shelf.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. Now, you remember little Puss Junior was aboard Noah’s Ark. which had floated out of the nursery w-indow, across the gatden, till it reached the meadow where the cow- had jumped over the moon, and that Puss Junior had just spied the little dog swimming about, the little dog which had laughed to see such sport when the dish ran after the spoon, you know. “Let's save him,” cried Puss, running down to the lower floor of the Ark and starting to unfasten the door. “Careful there, Sailor Puss,” shouted Captain Noah. "Here, mates, bring me a lifeline," and in less time than I can take to tell it the line was thrown to the little dog, who managed to catch hold of It with his teeth Just in time for the Ark was going at a tremendous rate of speed. “Don't haul in too laet,” advised Cap tain Noah, ns his three sons began pulling iu the rope, “or he'll be drawn under the water and smother before we can get him aboard.” At last, the little dog was landed safely on the deck. Everybody ran away from bim to avoid getting a shower bath as he shook himself again and again. "Well, you've all proved to be bravo? life savers,” said Mrs. Noah. “Now I'll give him sorm- warm milk to drink, and dry him by the kitchen fire, or he may get a severe cold Goodness knows what would happen if he gave It to the other animals and they all got to sneezing and coughing at the same time." And then the good woman took tho little dog down into the hold of the ark, where the pantry and kitchen were, and ha was soon fast asleep by the stove, nono the worse for his wetting It was now almost time for supper, so Mrs. Noah busied herself preparing tha evening meal. Captain Noah and his three sons, Ham. Shem aud Japhet, were also very busy feeding the animals. This was not an easy matter, for every animal had a different taste. The food and fodder had to be carefully measured so as to give each one enough and no more. The elephant ate almost i bale of bay for each meal, and the lion ate about twenty large Delmonlco steaks. “It's luck we haven't a whale on board." said Captain Noah, ns he rolled, a bale of hay up to Mrs. Elephant, at the Same time

WALKER PLAYERS MAKE MERRY At Murat in Light But Snappy Comedy
It is not necessary at this late day to discuss the “literary” merits of Cyril Harcourt's comedy,* “A Pair of Silk Stockings,” which is being used as the , latest vehicle for the Stuart Walker play- j era at the Murat. Harcourt has placed more “brains” in ! his bedroom comedy than most of the members of this tribe of plays possess, •’he first act ts “different.,” the second ait s brilliant and nearly “naughty" and the third act is necessary because it gives a male member of the company a chance to appear in a pair of women’s stockings. The play is interesting at this time of the season for the following reasons : Because Blanche Yurka appears in a nifty silk nightie. Becauaf McKay Morris proves that he can wear a pair of female silk hosiery. Because Elizabeth Patterson has a chance to make ’em roar with wise remarks. Because Tom Powers. Morris and Miss Yurka stage a real “scrap’’ In the wellknown bedroom scene Id the second act. As most of the work in this coracdy falls upon the four named, it is safe to utter that the “actin’” Is more than satisfactory. Powers appears to enjoy the role as he is given sufficient opportunity to display his love making qualities Laei Darts is making her first appearance this season with the Walker Company in the role of Pamela Bristowe, a character which is very necessary to the success of the comedy. Aldrich Bow ker Is seen to advantage as Sir John Gower, George Pomnes, Julia McMahon and Judith Lowry have very little to do but tho little 1s done very well. There are numerous others who appear during this treatise on silk hosiery. Os course the wise ones will ask about the bedroom scene. Miss Yurka .looks very “fetching" in a silk nightie and other garments worn by women whbe in slumber land. Miss Yurka possesses a .cleeer comedy touch and her shading in several of the scenes keeps the play from becoming "common " It is her work which keeps the play going at the required “smart” pace. Power s personality again aids him in this comedy. He and Morris with the assistance of Miss Yurka stage a dandy “fight” in the second act. This happens
when Morris i9 mistaken for a burglar when discovered In a closet in the bed room of his divorced wife.

Daily Exercise for Working Girls, Plan NEW Y'ORK. Jnly 12.—How many girls, who arc working to attain success in the business world, take time to do daily exercises fitted to their individual needs ? Under the direction of Dr. Anna L. Brown, director of the bureau of social education of the national board of the Young Women's Christion Association, a series of exercises for girls at various occupations has been thought out. Fifteen minutes a day is the only Investment necessary. and with these exercises fitted ts your needs, they will mean health. "Health is your biggest job," says Doctor Brown. "You need it. Your job demands it, and you are they only one who can get it for yourself.” With most girls a vast amount of effort is put into technical training as an essential foundation of success, but they often fail to see to what extent success Is depending upon "feeling fit.”

Report of Pastor’s ‘Heaven Trip* Denied NEW ORLEANS, July 12.—The report (hat Cosmer De Lond, pastor of tho Sew. ond Zion Church used money entrusted to him for hiring an airplane to “make an ascension into heaven” at the rate of $1 a minute is refuted by members of the church. “Sunshine Money,” as the preacher is familiarly known, according to the otory, collected money from his people to build a church. The church was built, his edagregatlon says. Certain members of the flock, however, are alleged to have started a story that "Sunshine Money” hired the plana at tho excessive rate of $1 a minute to go to heaven to see what it was like. Members of the congregation said that the story grew out of rebellion in tha church led by certain individuals who were dissatisfied. A decree from Judge Fred D.
