THAT CONTROVERSY over blonde stenographers may lead to a slump in the peroxide market. MAYBE Samuel Ashby, who opposes disannexation of'West Indianapolis, has never visited the garbage plant. THOSE HOOSIERS who have been chosen to go to the citizens' training camp at Camp Knox will soon think even less of the weather man. PERHAPS that convict paroled by Governor McCray 30 that he can collect a sum cf money due him has a pot of gold hidden away like Grover C. Bergdoil had.

GENERAL DAWES { s complaining of the size cf the Congressional Record. He will be supported by that great body of citizens whose wastebaskets are overburdened with that publication. THERE SEEMS to be some question In the minds of the board of safety as to whether it is Improper for a negro policeman to get shot in a drunken brawl at a notorious resort while he Is not on duty! THE KOKOMO Water Company Is suing the public service commission on the ground that the commission’s valuation of the company's property Is too low. We thought the commission's failing was In the other direction.
The Monument In a recent interview Col. Oran Perry, superintendent of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, asserted that the magnificent work of art was “a wonderful memorial, a tomb. In fact, sacred to the memories of all the men who have died fighting for our country.” Thus he explains why no seats are provided and why the little !awn3 must not be trespassed, nor one sit a moment on the railings. To others It is much more than the worthy superintendent’s statement includes. It Is a memorial, but not a tomb. It does not stop, in its symbology, within the narrowness of a marker for dead, but it goes on and carries a grander mission to children of men. It stands as a reminder to future generations that the principles of liberty, as extolled by Lincoln and his martyrs, shall not pass away. It is American, not Egyptian. The stones are not a cold sepulcher, nor do they stand alone ns records in graven images of dead flesh and benes. They perpetuate the red blood so freely spent In war and proclaim a readiness again to be given. If necessary, that a sacred principle may endure as the rocks; that the Union may be one and inseparable, now and forever. It Is but natural that those who fought in the Civil War should look upon this great monument with jealousy, but the younger generation, which also has experienced a struggle for freedom, cannot approach it as a tomb, for life is to them an anticipation, and this shaft stands constantly to remind generations yet unborn of lessons and truths indelibly written in the souls of all good Americans. Ruddy life and pink flesh were ready to assume the burdens against the powers which would destroy a Government of the people, for the people, and by the people. All that was done in far away battle fields is honored by the monument Its ston°s pulse with that blood dedicated to the principle that all men may be free. Those things for which our forefathers fought were cherished more than all else. They laid down life for them and the monument stands for that which was near and dear to those who gave all they had. Those principles still endure and the times ever beckon their support by the living. The soldiers who died will have died In vain if the thing for which they saerified life Is not perpetuated. They are heroes, as they fought (or liberty. Had they fought without grand ideals their deaths were useless. That ideal of liberty Is so interwoven into history, as a living force, that no soldier’s grave Is a tomb. It Is a shrine for posterity to gather inspiration and patriotism. The monument Is for the living, bequeathed by the dead; not a tomb to be coldiy looked upon.
Luckg Fishermen Recent events indicate that Davy Jones’ locker has been extended some in Its operation from the deep sea to inland towns. Just now fishermen are getting everything from Government bonds to automobiles and the limit has not been reached. Soon fish stories will give place to treasure catches. It has been noted that In New York numerous automobiles have disappeared completely and now divers are employed looking for them in the deeper parts of the adjoining waters, for it is thought they were made to disappear in order to obtain the insurance, and of course when they did disappear there was nothing for the Insurance company to do but to pay the money. Several have been recovered so far. Recently a theft occurred in France and a fisherman pulled up an old trunk and inside it was found diamonds, studded watches, pearl and ruby bracelets, gold and turquols collars and gleaming mesh platinum vanity bags. Os course the owner soon identified these, but the lucky fisherman received a suitable reward. In our own midst parts of registered bonds have been recovered out of the canal and possibly If the muddy waters were removed for a while, even a portion of Captain Kidd’s treasure would be found. To criminologists all this is not new, but to the average person it Is novel. There are certain deductions which have always formed the basis of the work of detectives and sleuths. Ail crime is secret. Once in a while some bold robbery or violence occurs In public, but generally wrong doing must, after its inception, be covered. Either it is the darkness of night, or buried under the earth, or hiding in the water or cave before a successful job is perpetrated. Even then the forces that work for good are stronger than the forces that work for evil, and the ways of the latter are revealed and continue only in exceptional cases. It is like the old saying of one neighbor to another that “murder will cut,” whi h we.- denied by the second neighbor who said he had committed murder twenty years ago and it had never been revealed.
More School Nonsense Entertaining indeed is the great amount of interest displayed by the obstructionists of school building in Indianapolis in the manner of buildings that are to be built now that it is assured the State tax board ha3 not the hardihood to oppose necessary school buildings. After having remonstrated against the building of any new schools in Indianapolis this year and earnestly advocating the erection of temporary structures, these obstructionists are now attempting to tell the public that of course new schools must be built and their only object in remonstrating against new schools was to insure all the new schools possible for the money expended. In other words, these obstructionists, who have found public sentiment so thoroughly against them, would now have us believe that because they desireu many more school buildings In Indianapolis they remonstrated against the building of any! Almost as entertaining is the “discovery” that in certain specifications for Indianapolis Bchool buildings it is provided that doors shall have locks upon them and that rivets in certain parts of the building shall be gilded. Possibly, as has been argued, neither of these provisions are essential to the proper education of children. But it would be well to remember that the gilding of every rivet in every school building in Indianapolis and the equipping of every door in every building in the school system would not require an outlay of money equal to the cost of one room of a properly constructed school building. Are we now to understand that all this opposition to the building program of the school board is the outgrowth of objections to the gilding of a few rivets and the equipping of a few doors with locks? Or are the obstructionists merely seeking an easy place to land after the explosion of their dreams of crippling the school system to gratify their personal ambitions?

KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS |

FRIDAY. Since they were not going to the club as "they usually did on Friday afternoon because the meetings bad been discontinued for the season, Mrs. Hooper Invited half a dozen of her friends In to tea 10 meet her sister ln-law. It was very Informal, the guest had b‘“*n Invited over the telephone and they all brought their sewing. With the addition only of some dainty sandwiches, the tea service was the same that Mrs. Hooper had every afternoon —hot tea. Iced tea and small cakes. Helen's club of girls had also disbanded for the season so 'he was free to help her mother serve the tea, which she did without any awkwardness, being accustomed to do it every day. When she had cleared aw-ay the tea th'r.gs and gone to the kitchen Mrs. Briggs remarked. “Helen is a wonder Mrs Hooper—the nice way she passes things and hands us our tea without splashing It all over. I could no more trust my Alice to do that when I have company than I could fly. She'd have everything all over everybody." •'My Kathleen Is the same,’’ said Mrs. Jones, “the awkward ago I suppose It Is. You can't expect too much of society manrtera from them till they grow older." “But see how Helen does it,” said Mrs. Campbell forcefully. “And It’s not so hard as you think, if you truln them. Why, my Mary Elizabeth was the moat careless, sloppy child a few months ago. She cocidd't even pass a plate to the person sitting next to her at the tabic without spilling what was on it either Into her own lap or Into her neighbor’s, or on to the clean table cloth. And I'd Just talked to her about tl until I was tired.” “And has she improved, Mrs. Campbell V” asked Mrs Briggs. “I should say she has,” exclaimed the proud mother, "and do you know how I trained her?” “How?” asked several of the guests at the same moment. "Well,” Mrs Campbell went on rather proudly, “I began having tea every afternoon on the porch or In the living . room and we and pretend we had a lot of grand company, and I taught Mary Elizabeth to pass the tea and cake to me and to my sisters and a few friends who j come In-very regularly now, as If we ! were very important people, and she j

MOVIELANQ gy Lillian Gish |Oi MILLIONS LOVE HER
Dressing for the Screen As I usually play “cotton-stocking parts,” as I call them, the question of what to wear on the screen doesn't bother me greatly. But it's a real problem for the actresses who must wear fashionable clothing. And if some of the giris who try to dress as their favorite actresses do realized just why those actresses select some of their frocks. I think they would cease imitating them. You see, it sometimes takes months to make a picture. Now, If an actress wears. In the first scenes, a frolic that Is the last word of fashionable modistes at that time, by the time the picture is finished, and released, that dress will be so hopelessly out of style that it will be absolutely grotesque. Therefore she must either wear clothes that are absolutely exotic, like those which Claire West designs for Gloria Swanson and the other girls who play In Cecil de MUle productions, and so are neither In style nor out of It, or she must choose things that are safe no matter what the fashions do. Norma Talmadge always wears things that are a bit ahead of the mode, and as she has her own producting organization and so can control the making of her pictures, she can see to It that the frocks which she wears are screened at a time that will permit their being seen by the public while they are still fashionable. There's another thing that makes it iuadvisalMe for the girl who wants to -e well dressed to follow a screen star's example. The star may do as Elsie Ferguson did in “Footlights"—play a part that

calls for rather outre frocks, the sort of thing that she would never wear ordinarily. They aren't in good taste, and she wears them only because she has to, so any one who followed her e-ample in reallife would be very badly dr' >sed indeed. The dis. rimlntlng woman, however, can learn much from the weli dressed women of the screen. They have made a study of their own good points, have learned what they can wear, and wear their clothes beautifully. Alice Joyce, both the Talmadges, Betty Compson, and a number of others are excellent models for a girl who wants to know what the newest creations are- and that same girl would be surprised if she knew how often the screen star has her in mind when choosing frocks for anew production. —Copyright. 1921.

This is read as an uncertain day by astrologers who find Jupiter and Mercury in benefle aspect, while Saturn, Mars aud Uranus are adverse. The busy houTs of this day are sub* Ject to sinister influences and should be employed with caution. Business transactions are under rather a disappointing rule. Astrologers give warning that the go* pel of love must lie p cached constantly, for the lessons of the war have not been learned and so they may have to bo repeated with terrible emphasis.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory. " Wake up, Wake np.' and sing your song, As we roll merrily along. Above the meadow sings the lark. So let us sing aboard the Ark. "There goes the Weathercock,” cooed the Dove, flying over to the porthole and looking out over the bright blue ocean, j “Tell him I'll get up in a minute," yawned Puss Junior. So the Dove, who siert in Puss Junior’ll -abin in a pretty gilt cage, spoke to the Weathercock, af’er which she commenced i to sing: There's a robin in the woodland, j There s a robin in the sea, But they are just as different j As different ca- be. The one that's In the forest Has feathers and a tail; The one that’s in the ocean Has a scaly coat of maiL I The robin in the forest | Could never take a swim; The robin of the ocean .*s£ i Could never fly or skiito • Across a grassy meadow, Nor fly up In a tree, But he can do all kinds of stunts YVithln tie deep blue sea. “Where did, you learn all that?" asked Puss, a* he pulled on his red top boots, “Listen; there's another verse, and maybe two or three." cooed the Dove, xni then she began to sing again. The robin of the woodland Has a pretty crimson vest: He sings a merry, blithesome song And builds a cosy nest. The robin of the ocean Has fins that look like wings. He doesn't build a nest at all, He grunts, but never sings. Yet both of them are robin*, As some of ns have heard — Although the ocean one’s a fish. The woodland one's a bird. “Cock a doodle-do i” crowed the Weath ercock. as the Dove finished her song,! “Hurrah for yon! Y'ou are the poet ol the Ark!” “Oh. no f” replied the modest Dove, “that is not my own. My mothe* taught me that song when I was a | Dovelet.” I “Is that so?” said the Weathercock, and he gave a sigh of relief, for I guess he wanted to be the only poet on board* the Ark, and sing his little songs every! morning Just as he had always done. By this time Pnss was dressed, and taking the Dove on his shoulder went, down to the dining room. As usual, tha, Noah boys were on hand with great gnd glorious appetites. “How are the animals this morning?” inquired Captain Noah, helping himself to a big saucer of oatmeal. “Pretty well,” answered Japheth. “Some of the insycts are getting rest* less,” said Ham. “I should say so,” exclaimed Mrs. Noah. “Here's that big red Ant in the sugar bowl.” / “Catch him,” cried Shem. “We ought to put him back where he belongs.” But the Ant all of a sudden crawled out of the sugar bowl and ran down the leg ol the table. And in the next story you shall hear of a most exciting rescue.Copyright, 1921. (To Be Continued.) COULDN’T SLKEP; HANGS SELF. CROWN POINT.
