MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. <*n- 1 HSE % To Carry On The wreck of the ZR-2 with its attendant heavy toll of human life is one of those periodical disasters that shock the entire world. The men aboard the ill-fated air liner, both Americans and British, who perished in the service of their countries, add more illustrious names to the long list of aerial Inartyrs, who have given their lives that man might win in his ambition to navigate the skies. They will rank well alongside Wright, Selfridge. Wellman. Alcoek, Hawkins, men whose passing marked epochs in aerial progress, and even Count Zeppelin, whose contributions to science were so soiely perverted by a blood lustful nation. They died in the line of duty, as surely a sacrifice to their country's glory as the men who died on the battlefields of Franco and Flanders. History records no more thrilling .tale of unflinching duty in the face of danger than the story cf the ZR 2 s wireless operator, who. as the great craft turned on its fatal plunge into the Humber, ticked out a message telling of the disaster. Novelists seldom people their works with characters inore intrepid. Despite the grief of two nations there should arise in every one a thrill of pride over the announcement of the Navy Department that the disaster will not be allowed to check research Into the field of lighter-than-air craft; that the lessons learned In the loss of the ZR-2 will be applied to anew craft to be built in the United States and that the Navy Department will bend every effort to prove that man can conquer successfully the uncertainty of the elements and can overcome structural handicaps. The United States, first in the field with heavier-than-air flying machines. has trailed in the progression of dirigibles and there was much to be hoped for when the British built gas hag landed in this country for a series of aeronautical experiments. It was believed it would open the way to the practical era of aerial navigation, a goal that Is rapidly coming to be realized. All progress is marked by disaster and tragedies. But in the march of history mere human beings have been keyed to a higher pitch of energy by reverses. Such is the case of the ZR-2. . Although it was designed as a war craft and as such would form an important link in our coastal defense, It was the fond hope of a peace loving nation that it, or any of its progeny, would never be called upon for a single warlike act. Its great value would have been in its adaption to a series of experiments that in time would make the very sky teem with commercial air crafts, carrying on a peaceful trade not alone among the cities of this country, but with the ports of the world. The spirit of carry on In the Navy will not allow this hope, risen above a dream, to die now. The ZR-2 was not in vain. Holy B ar Word comes from the far off kingdom of Hedjaz in Asia Minor that a holy war has been proclaimed against the Greeks, in aid of Turkey. To an American who accepts General Sherman's statement of what war really is. and who has ever failed to see anything good In the unspeakahle Turk, even the term is ridiculous. It must have been decreed bv the stars that- humanity was to he put to a very severe test in 1914 and the years following. Every nation now feels the effects of the lapse into savagery caused by the war. Russia is suffering most. France was prostrated and Germany lost the regard of the world. Her sweet musicians, grent poets and wonderful scientists disappeared in the maelstrom In the warmer countries. Turkey and Greece apparently can not stop fighting. They fail to get back to normal. Greece is whipping Turkey. Hedjaz, freed by the allies, is swept into the carnival of hatred and bloodshed. In the latter country is situated Mecca and Medina, places of great pilgrimages for all Mohommedans, and because Greece is supposed to be a Christian nation, the Arab king proclaims a "holy war." Some subjects will be carried away with the idea of exterminating Christians, but they are very few. The sultan of Turkey tried the old trick of a holy war. but it did not work In years passed these wars have proved very disastrous to the Mohammedans. Intimate association with others has dispelled thp idea that the killing of a neighbor is good or holy. Only a few entertain such thoughts and they are among, the.jnost backward of nations India, which is largely antiChristian, Jai]ad~lo rise in at Turkey'* call “and China and Japan were with the Christians. History records many blood-thirsty wais, supposed to be holy, all in darker days of human savagery. But those nations which have advanced least, now continue in turmoil. The great indictment against Germany is that with all her enlightenment she even permitted a few to preach war and then to lead her almost into barbarism Marion , Ohio Marion. Ohio, a town on the Big Four from Indianapolis to Cleveland, is certainly making a great name since President Harding caused it to he famous. Perhaps it may be said, since both were discovered there. Three recent news items came from that town. Dr. Harding, the President’s father, got married at 76 years of age to a mere strip of a girl, who is now stepmother to America's leading citizen, at 62 years. The bravery of all parties to the contract is commended. The Erio railroad, which has extensive shops there, has, by some legal legerdemain, leased the works to anew corporation, thereby attempting to sidestep congressional legislation. Interstate Commerce Commission rulings. United States Railroad Labor Boards findings, the eight-hour custom and time-and-a-half for overtime. It is trying to secede but it is an open question where it will get. In an advertisement which must or the Better Business Bureau will get busy, a maker of machines in that town tells how, with his implements, a profit of $5,700 was made on a $6,000 road job. He offers to send names if wanted. This job was under the State highway department of Ohio, not Indiana. Thereby Marion has set an example for the world, for no such profits are advertised in Indiana when they occur. The people of Marion, Ohio, must indeed be wonderful. Almost like the mythological character of Greece, a full grown President arises from the mists- Then for boldness the town's people stand out pre-eminent. Re-entering matrimony at 76 is rugged. For a public utility to sidestep boards and everything else is an audacity almost foolhardy. To have a contractor give SSOO work on a $6,000 contract with a highway department of the State indicates a recklessness and disregard of consequences almost unparalleled. The generosity of the contractor and the gift of a President all come from the same town, too. Paths Always End It is most strange, but true, that a crime can not be committed and remain undiscovered. A recent case in California which modern detectives are investigating presents a peculiar up-to-date incident which will probably furnish the proper clew to perpetrators of the murder. After a shot was fired from ambush someone saw an automobile speeding away. A firm had rented a machine of the same make to a stranger that night. When returned, it registered the mileage. At a determined distance from the site of the crime, parts of a gun were found which corresponded to the shots causing the death of the victim. Slowly, but surely, one circumstance after another reveals itself until the unnatural deed is laid bare. The reasoning used by investigators h excellent Dividing the mileage by two —to provide for the return trip, took the officers to the place where the gun was thrown into the sea and there it was recovered. Years ago the presence of a strange character assisted in furnishing a clew. A good officer knew every one. People are too numerous today to permit the use of old-time methods. Likewise, new inventions produce new problems. The modern use of finger prints, the introduction of the Bertillon system of measurements and the use of telephone and telegraph have revolutionized the hunt for criminals. Modern instruments often have led to detection of crime, most quickly. By some strange fatality a criminal will almost inevitably leave ccme means whereby he may be apprehended. The path may be long, and of.cn obscure, but sooner or later it ends abruptly.

7Ae STORY of NINETTE By RUBY M. AYRES

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. Ninette, a tiny waif who first saw' tb light of day in cheap lodgings in a dull road in the worst part of Balham, is adopted by “Josh ' Wheeler, who shares his meager earnings as a scribe on a London paper, -.vlth the friendless babe. Under Ins tender care Mnette grew to girlhood and together they planned for the future. Josh contracts pneumonia. Ninette pawned everything they had and Anally, in desperation, tries, her hand at writing, signing her name “Wheeler. Her efforts brought a curt note from Peter Northard, an editor. She calls at his office, but he does not accept the ar tldle. Hopelessly, Ninette turns Into the street and af.er a long, long walk finds herself in a far better class neighborhood than that in which she and Josh live. Two men come from one of tha houses. They have left the latchkey In the door. She finds it easy to-enter and her only thought is to help Josh. Just as she picks up a costly watch she Is i confronted by Peter Nothard. Ninette explains everything to him. He decides Ito help Wheeler, but when they reach him he is dead. Ninette faints. Nothard takes her to his home. Ninette gets brain fever. When she recovers prep- ! nrafion is made to send her to Nothard's sister In the country for complete recuperation. Margaret's husband. Artbtir Delay, is Introduced to Ninette. Dorothy Manvers, a former sweetheart of Nothard's, is a guest at Margaret's house, tin a perfectly lovely old place near Margaret's lives the wealthy William Felsted. whose only son. Dick, frequently [visits the Delay’s home Dick • Felsted becomes Ninette's devoted slave, i Mr. Cavanagh. one of the richest men ! in or out of England, is a dinner guest at the Delay home. He Is very attentive to Ninette and invites her to lunch with him in Loudon. Arthur Delay disapproves of Ninette having an appointment with Cavanaugh, but as she thinks it is none of Arthur Delay's affairs, she sends a note of acceptance. She meets Peter Nothard In the hall Just as she Is ready to leave the house. He asks her to go to the theatre with him and cam-el the engagement with Cavenaugb. CHAPTER XIX. Dorothy Plays Substitute. Nothard came a step nearer to Ninette, looking up at her as she stood ou the bottom stair. "Who are you going with?" he d@ manded. She told him then. “Mr. Cavanagb; he's a friend of Mr. Delay’s: and he's a millionaire, and we’re going to lunch at the Savoy.” “Cavanagh 1" he echoed the name blankly; then the color rose in his face “Not Cavanagh, the steel man?” Ninette shook her head. “I don’t know what he Is, but— Oh hero comes Margaret!” she was relieved to see Peter's sister coming down th" stairs behind her; she broke out quickly : -Mr. Nothard wants me to go to a theater, but, oi course, 1 can t, can 1 ? ’ Margaret passed her and lifted her face to Peter to kiss, but he only Just brushed her cheek with his lips, and asked immediately : “Who is this man Ninette is lunching with? She says It s < avanagb—not that old blackguard— Ninette gavr a little cry of anger, and Margaret flushed. "My dear Peter! he’s a friend of Arthur’s! He dined lure the ether night, and he’s a millionaire." 1 I don’t care a hang what he is!" Noth nrd protested savagely. "U<- an old scamp with an unsavory reputation, that’s all t know, and I won’t have Ninette going anywhere with him " He turned to the girl. 11l send him a wire, and then you can write anil explain." "Hnt I’ii going with him! 1 will g"!” Nln.tte broke out hotly. “If* •nothin* to do with you. of course, I’m going! I said I was! i wrote last right. I've never been to lunch at the Savoy —I’ve never been out to lunch with any one In my life!" In spite of hersclf*her voice trembled, and Nothard sail more gently: "I II take vou to tile Savoy, pr anywhere else you like, but I’ll rot have you going with hlin. He made hts money by swindlng other people- I tell you his name stinks In the city- " "Peter!" Margaret cried out indfg nantl.v. “Arthur wouldn't have brought him here If he’d been as bad as all that !" “Arthur doesn’t know him as well ns T do." Nothard protested obstinately. "And. anyway, we don't want to ar gue about it. I've said what I mean, and Ninette is not going" Ninette came down the last stair into the hall; her face was white and determined and her eyes blazed “I am going."’ she said, and then as h- put out h!s arm to stop her. she drew herself up like a queen. "Please let me pass!" she commando I. "Vou arc not going. Ninette." He spoke quite calmly, but his Jaw was set in obstinate lines. 'You're only s child; you know nothing of the world. I'm surprised at you. Margaret, allowing her to entertain the idea for n moment I'm more surprised at Arthur “Arthur didn't want me to go." Ninette h-oke lu, unconsciously usings Delay’s Christian’s name. "But ll’s no husi ness of bia-j-nnd none of yours," she added. "It’s my business ns long ns you’re under my care." Nothard protested decidedly. “It’s my 1 csiness as long as Pro looking "after you- ” ’’Paving for me. 1 suppose you inrun!" she flashed out, a flew streak of oo|or In her pale face. “Vou can be as rude as you like I don’t care. I’m going what ever you say." “Ninette!" Margaret caught h': arm "Peter;" she sabl warinlngly. for she was frightened by the look In b!s eyes. He fell hack a step and without an other word Ninette walked past him and out of the house. Her heart was heating to suffocation, and her checks burned. "How dared he! How dared hel" was the passionate thought tn her heart. "Just because he pnld for me when I was 111. and let me come here! (li. If onFv I were rich If only 1 were rich She dared not look back ; she almost ran until she knew she was out of sight of the house, then she walked more slowly and tried to recover her self control. But the pleasure of the day was quite spoiled ; all the way up in the train she thought of the anger iri Peter Nothard's eyes, and the contempt in his voice when he spoke of Panda! Cavanagh. It was in vain that she tried to tell herself he had spoken unjustly; there hnd been the ring ot truth In every word ha sabl.

“It’s nothing to do witn utm, anyway." was the final thought witu which she tried to comfort herself. "1 shall do as I like—always! Josh would have been only too pleased if he had known I'd been asked to lunch at the Savoy with a millionaire.’’ But she knew that was not the truth either; Josh, with his simple, honest heart and clean life, cared nothing for a man’s means; a millionaire would have meant no more to him than a struggling Journalist as poor as he himself had been. Margaret stood looking after Ninette till the bend In the long drive hid her from view, tfien she turned to Peter nervously, "I think you were wrong to lose your temper," she said slowly. “You can't drive Ninette, Peter dear; but you can lead her!" “I've no time to waste trying to lead a woman." Peter answered almost, brutally. “She’s self-willed and spoilt; shell have to be broken in!'* ‘‘You'll never do it by abusing her friends,” Margaret protested. | He turned on her savagely. "Her—friends! Do you mean that and and millionaire?" Margaret flushed "It's the first time any one has ever asked her out, poor child!" she defended Ninette. “You ought to have known better than to allow it," was his uncompromising answer, as he flung his hat down on a chair and walked into the drawing room. He wns smarting with anger and disappointment; he had really looked forward to taking Ninette to a theater; he had rather imagined that she must be finding his sisters house dull and apparently he was wrong! She had no need of him! She had already mapped out her own plans. Dorothy wns curled up in a big chair by the tire; she was half asleep, or had suddenly pretended to be. when she heard Peter's voice In the hall, and for a moment he stood looking at her. unwilling admiration creeping into his eyes. Then, as she thought he turned to go away again, she gave a little yawn, stretched her slender arms and opened her eyt-s. There was a moment's silence, then she started up. “Peter!" .She spoke his name with Just the right catch of emotion in her voice, and her long lashes momentarily hid her pretty eyes "Why—what a surprise"’ she faltered. "Whatever has brought you to see us?" Peter hesitated; then he took the plunge ’’l’ve got two ticket* for a theater," he said. ‘lt a not ofteu I go to such things but today I rather fancy it—if you will come with me! Can you be ready in a quarter of an hour’ I’ve pot the enr outside: we ll motor back and hare tunrh in town." CHAPTER XX. Luncheon at the Savoy. Ninette tr tabling with excitement When she reached the Savoy. She paid the taxi man and stioj for a moment staring at the big glam. door with scared she was sire that sty would never dare to go In alone. When a uniformed com missionalre approached br It w-as nhi she could do to keep front turning and run ning away, but she controlled herself, and said that she wa i expecting to meet a friend a gentleman! The faintest smile crept Into the man's eyes. It was perfectly obvious to him that thla was Nlnottt's first visit to hi* holy ground, but he told her, kindly enough, if with a shade of patronage that her best plan was to wait In the lounge. Ninette said: "Oh, thank yon *n much!” and she really was grateful to him. She followed him through the big glass door and allowed him to esc >rt, her to a sent. There was a band playing somewhere close by, and there were many pretty women and well dressed men. Ninette looked at them all envlou sly: •he wished that her own clothe* were a* wonderful; she wished and then he forgot to wish anything, as Randal Cavan ngh crossed the lounge to her side. He was no more smartly dre*s"d than he had been down at the Delays, and f*r a moment, she was conscious of n vague disappointment. She was not yet sufficiently worldly wise to know that a millionaire may dress as shabby ns he pleases, and that It Is only the penniless ones of life who do not dare to parade their poverty "I hope you have not been hre long." he said, ns he took her hand "! hnd a slight accident to ray car lu the Strand and had to finish the distance on foot Ills deep eyes searched* her face. "It Is very kind of you to come," be sabl. "1 was only too planned to come." Ninette said quickly "Ive never been here before, and oh. Isn’t If n lovely place." Ho looked faintly amused. "Do you like It? Yes, I suppose It is rnther nice. I have engaged a table for lunch, if you will come " To lie Continued.

‘INDIANAPOLIS DAY’ URGED FOR THE STATE FAIR Indiana Board of Agricul* ture Asks Local Boosting. TO OPEN NEW BUILDING The Indiana board of agriculture is urging Indianapolis business men and manufacturers to follow the example of Springfield. 111., by decorating the downtown buildings and streets and to observe an “Indianapolis Day" at the Stats Fair, which opeu3 Labor Day, Sept. 5. G. R. Kemper, a member of the Indiana boord. has returned from Springfield, where he observed what that city did while the Illinois State Fair was in progress. “Springfield's downtown buildings and streets were gay with flags and bunting." he said, "and at n gbt the street* were aglow with brilliant electric lights of many colors. Everyone in Springfield and visitors to the city knew something unusual was going on and they did not fall to see the keen interest the business men took in the Illinois fair. On one days stores, offices and factories closed for a half day and many thousands of Springfield people flocked to the fair. "All this Is what the Indiana board would Lae to se“ done while the Hoosler fair is on. Indianapolis is a much larger city than Springfield and the Indiana fair ranks with the Illinois exposition. Our program Is going to overflow with attractions each day and evening. “\Ve especially would like for Indianapolis business men to see tha I progress we are making with our pro- ! gram of permanent, imposing buildings. , \Ye will open the fifth big unit of this j program Sept. 5. It is the horticultural : and agricultural building, a great structure with 85,000 square feet of floor 1 space made of brick, concrete, stucco, glass and steel, and put. up at a cost ot $50,000 With the brick horse barn, the coliseum, the autn show building, the women’s building, the horticultural and agricultural building, and more big buildings to come in tb next few years, the Indiana State Fair Is going to have housing facilities for livestock, exhibits and crowds that will give It rank with the great State fairs of the United States. "The Indiana fair ground, with 21* acres. Is the largest tract of its kind l in the United States. Our passenger and freight transportation facilities aro much superior to any other State fair. The Indiana fair is right at the door* ' es Indianapolis and the business Interests of the city should be closely linked with the exposition.” Farmers Told to Kill the Tax Amendments Special to The Times. SHELBYVILLE, Ind.. Aug. 26 —More than two hundred members of the Shelby Township Farmers’ Association and their families attended the annual picnic of the organization, which was held Thursday afternoon in a grove south of this city. An address on the proposed amendments t the State constitution was made by William Bosson of Indianapolis. Mr. Bosson urged the farmers to defeat the proposed tax amendments at the special election Sept. 6. stating that they would be profitable ouly to the man with intangible property, while they would cause a loss to the owner of real estate.
