' THE NAVY BOARD is quoted as saying a disarmament conference can not bring about the ending of wars. What else could be expected of a Navy board? "EFFICIENCY of Modern Fire Apparatus Shown’ says a headline in a contemporary. Apparently its bright young representative did not see the efforts of the fire department to throw a stream of water from a tower to the roof of a three-story building.

With Skid Chains and Spares! An up-to-date little boy said to his mother: “Ma, was Saint Joseph a prominent saint?” "Yes,” replied the mother. “And was Saint Michael a prominent saint?” • “Yes.” “Are there many prominent saints, Ma?" “Yes, my dear boy.'' “But Ma, why do all the saints have to carry a spare tire. Others have concluded that while the members of the National Administration may be entitled to spare tires, it will be necessary for them also to carry chains along to keep from skidding. The Administration can be given credit for attempting to carry out its ante-election promises, but so far the road has been too rough to make much progress. It might be given a halo, although not a brilliant one, for passing an immigration law which is the best the 1 nited states has jet had. It will not dump over five hundred thousand immigrants on our shores this vear, while without such a law the foreigners arriving in the United States would have totaled at least two million. Os course, every immigrant added equals one more unemployed in this country, where we now have five million idle. Nevertheless, this law is equitable and an improvement over all others. The temporary tariff law passed for the protection of our agricultural products looked good at first and met with almost universal approval but it has not worked out as intended, for it has failed to produce a higher price for our home products. In fact, our agricultural products are not now selling at as high prices as Canadian, the country the tariff was really intended against. But this is not the fault of the Administration or of the tariff law. It is the result of cheaper transportation in Canada than in the United States, the saving in freight being added to the price that the farmer pr producer receives. In Canada the railroads are owned znd financed by their government, not, as they are in this country, by Wall street. The German treaty, which has been signed subject to the approval of the United States Senate, will end our state of war. Some people are disappointed in the treaty because the United States receives no indemnity from Germany, while England. France, Italy and the other countries that fought Germany have been indemnified. The only danger now is that Germany may dump her goods in the United States and with the money obtained from us pay the indemnity to the other countries. This, however, will no doubt be prevented In some way, as any party in power must realize it would be equal to signing its death warrant to permit such a condition to arise. The great gambling house, known as the Chicago Board of Trade, which has operated for fifty years in the Mississippi River Valley, extending from Duiuth to New Orleans and Denver to Pittsburgh, has been practically put out of business so far as gambling in the future price of grain is concerned, by the modest Senator Capper, publisher of Topeka. Kan. I have known Capper for twenty-five years and he has been headed but one way, and that was in the direction that would give the fanner and every one who labors with his hands or head what they are entitled to —the reward of their own efforts. Capper has always believed it wrong to gamble in food products or in the results of human labor. He won his seat in the Sens.te on this stand and is likely to keep it as long as he wants it.. This adds something to the halo of the National Administration, although the Capper bill was passed by a very narrow margin and was doctored somewhat before it got through. The one. transaction in the present extra session of Congress that seemed to be condemned almost universally, except by the wealthy class of taxpayers, was the failure to pass the soldiers’ back pay bill. This was Killed a bonus bill, but the term was incorrect, as it was only a bill to pay our soldiers w ages which w ould in a measure compensate for the jobs they were forced to give up when they were drafted to fight, in a foreign country, a war that we did not start, no difference how just a war it was. The claim was made that the Government could not finance the back pay. Most people think, however, that if we would release to the soldiers what is due them they would spend part of it and business would start up again much more rapidly than through giving another billion dollars to the railroads, W'hich we all know is used only for gambling purposes in Wall street. The failure to pass the soldiers' bill has done more to dim the luster of the halo and turn it into a spare tire than any other proposed or rejected legislation which might be subject to an honest difference of opinion. Congress adjourned without taking action on several important measures before it, such as the revenue bill, new tariff bill and prohibition enforcement bill. Many of the members of the Senate and House may see a new light after they have visited their home States, west of the Allegheny Mountains, and put on their non-skid chains when they return to Washington. —W. D. Boyce in the Saturday Blade, Chicago. The Plaza Next The members of the city council were fche judges of the sufficiency of the remonstrance against the.purchase of two city blocks to be added to the war memorial and their action in rejecting it might as well be taken as final. Asa result of the unnecessarily reprehensible methods used in preparing this remonstrance it failed, even though it doubtless represented the sentiment of thousands of citizens were never asked to sign it. There will now- be no referendum on the question of this expenditure of several million dollars and this community is placed in the position of agreeing to spend several millions for a plaza while it is forbidden to spemd SBOO,OOO for new school buildings. The situation is very much like that of a man who insists upon owning an auto when he has no place to lay his head at night. The auto is of some utility as tie plaza will be, but good business judgment argues that there are other things needed to a much greater degree. Had the circulators of the remonstrance come out in the open and laid their opposition fairly- before the people of Indianapolis properly there would have been no question of its sufficiency. The referendum on the plaza project was blocked by the ill-advised methods of those who advocated it. Koosier Honored William V. Rooker, Indianapolis attorney, was highly honored at the recent meeting of the American Bar Association w-hen he w-as re-elected a member of the association's council. The council is the body that governs the affairs of the association, and Mr. Rooker possesses the further distinction of being the only representative on it of the territory lying west of the Allegheneys and east of the Mississippi river. Asa deep thinker and a close student of those questions whose broad aspect is reflected in every walk of life, Mr. Rooker has won the respect of the most notable members of the American bar and the association with the leaders in the legal profession of a member of the Marion countybar Is a compliment to this community. Even though this State has not had restrictions surrounding the admission of members of the bar it has maintained a high standard in the profession through education and through the careful code of ethics which has been so well enforced, practically through the unanimous consent of the bench and bar. Indiana’s contribution to the Judiciary and to the bar has been rich and is continually recognized throughout the Nation.

tike STORY of NINETTE By RUBY M. AYRES

Who’s Who in the Story NINETTE, a tiny waif who first saw the light of day in cheap lodgings in a dull road in the worst part of Balham, is adopted by -•JOSH” YVHF.ELER, who shared his meager earnings as a scribe on a Loudon paper, with the friendless babe. Ninette meets PETEK NOTHARD, an editor, who rescues her from sickness and poverty and takes her to his sister, MARGARET DELAY, who has a home in the country. Ninette is Introduced to ARTHUR DELAY, Margaret s husband. DOROTHY JIAXVEKS, a former sweetheart of Nothard's, is a guest at Margaret’s house. In a lovely old place near by lives the wealthy WILLIAM FELSIED, whose only son, DICK, frequently visits the Delay s home. Ninette meets RANDALL CAVANAGH, a wealthy man of London, who confesses that he is her father. Cavanagh lakes Ninette to live with him after Nothard is convinced of Cavanagh’s reiation to her. Although Ninette now has everything money can buy, she is lonely and restloss. Cavanagh tells Nincfte that her mother left him because she learned that he had made his money dishonestly, and he had never been able to find her. Cavanagh contemplates a business trip to America and places Ninette under the chaperonage of MRS. CRANFORD, a friend. Ninette is surprised to learn that Mrs. Cranford is I’eter Nothard’s aunt. Margaret tells Ninette that her husband has left her. Ninette overhears someone telling Peter Nothard that Cavanagh has paid Mrs. Crawford to keep her. hears them ridicule her extravagant dress and hint that her father had done something disgraceful and would leave England for a while. Much to Nothard’s distress. Ninette angrily tells him that she overheard his conversation.

He tried many times during the evening to speak to Ninette again, hut she avoided him—deliberately, be knew-—and she managed to slip away without wishing him good night Afterwards Mrs. Cranford camo to Ninette’s room for a moment. ‘it’s not been a very exciting evening, has It?" she sail frankly.

later on there will be lots of parties and delights in store for you. By the way, I was so surprised to find that you knew Peter 1” Ninette smiled faintly. “I w-as surprised, too, to find that he w-as your nephew.’’ "And such u dear boy!" Mrs. Cranford went on warmly. . "He has always been a great favorite of mine. I did hope he would make a good marriage; but it’s no use trying to arrange these things. He has chosen for himself, and I suppose he knows best.” Ninette raised her eyes slowly. "Chosen for himself!” she echoed. “Why, what do you meau? Is—is Mr. Nothard engaged, then?" "Unfortunately!’’ Mrs. Cranford said. “A girl named Dorothy Manvers. 1 believe it is a very old romance; they were engaged years ago aud quarreled. Then they met again—at Margaret's, and made it all up, I suppose, because Margaret tells me that they aro to be married soon.” CHAPTER XXXV, 4 Something Has Happened Ninette made no comment; she sat down on the side of the bed, her hands j limply folded in her lap. I So Peter was engaged to Dorothy! In spite of all she had heard, and all she had seen for herself, be had fallen u prey once more to the girl's beauty. I Mrs. Cranford went on talking, but | Ninette hardly listened. She was glad ! when she was alone once more. She got I up slowly and shut and locked the door; I then mechanically she began to undress. She took off the offending diamonds, j and left them lying in a little glittering ' heap on the dressing table. She no long er valued them; she felt ashamed that -she had known no better thau to have worn them. t Her cheeks burned when she thought iof that conversation she had overheard. (She was too angry to realize that Peter ! bad been innocent of all offense, and j that It was not he who had satd the j things about herself. J Presently the tears came slowly to her eves and splashed down on to her frock the too smart frock which now she bated with all her heart. She took 1t off angrily, and finished undressing, crying quietly like a child The evening had been a failure, and she had almost looked forward to it when she found that Nothard was to be one of the party. Angrily ns she ha 1 repudiated the things she had heard of her father, they bad left a shadow of fear in her heart. * She knew so little of him! In spile of their relationship, they were almost strangers. What would become of her If—supposing She dare not follow that trend of thought e e put out the light and crept ln*o bed, lying there in the darkness with wide, piteous eyes There was nobody for her to turn to, supposing she never saw her father again. Even Peter was going to be married 1 And suddenly she began to sob in heartbroken fashion, hiding her face in the pillow to stifle the sound. Peter was going to be married; Peter ‘could never be anything to her again.' And all at once she knew why she minded so desperately knew why she had been so unhappy and dissatisfied since | she went to live with her father. It i was because sho loved Peter Nothard with all her heart and soul! I The discovery frightened Ninette. Sup posing Peter ever knew! Supposing he suspected, even now, that she had grown to care for him. She could not understand hew such a thing had come shout. They had never even been on really friendly terms. They had quarreled often, and said hitter, [sneering things to one another. And all I the time it was as If a dosed door In her heart was suddenly thrown wide showing htr many things of which hither to she bad been in ignorance. Pbe loved him! She loved him with every Sort of love hre was In the world I—ln the way she had loved Josh Wheeler, • rid in every way! She felt that Hhe would gladly have d!*‘d to save him a moment's pain or unhappiness. That was Ninette’s way; she always did -things extravagantly. Her grief when Josh Wheeler died had been extravagant. ;und her anger against Arthur Delay. And j now her love for Peter Nothard seemed jlike a great wave rising from nowhere, and threatening to overthrow her. She I never closed her eyes nil u ght ; her brain ! would not rest. Over and over again she ! went back step by step every hour of | their acquaintance their first meeting in {his office when he bad laughed at her; their next meeting In his rooms, when ■ she had tried to steal his watch. She had never even liked him; she had hated him. Or was it that all tlie time she I had unconsciously loved him! And now he was to marry Dorothy Manners! Ninette clenched her bauds In the darkness, to try to still the bitter feeling of Jealousy that tormented her. Dorothy cared nothing for him, she was sure; Dorothy was Incapable of caring sincerely for anyone. Ho unfair life was! She wondered if happiness was ever to -come to her, or If always she would have to face disappointment and disillusionment..

She made up her mind that when Cavanagh came In -the morning ahe would implore him to take her to America with him, ami not leave her In London. She felt that ahe could not p.it enough distance between herself and Peter now that she know she loved him She was in terror that he should find It out in terror that by some word or look she might betray herself In this new discovery she had forgotten the up palling things she had overheard about her father. She got up early In the morning, nnd was ready long before the hour that Cavanagh had 6v om *sed to eall for her But he did not come. She wandered from window to window in restless misery. Supposing what Nothard nnd the other man had said wns true! Her heart seemed to swoon in a panic of fear. She went to the telephone and rang up her father s Hat. But she could get no answer. The girl at the exchange told her she thought the flat mint be empty. Ninette sought Mrs. Cranford. “Father hasn't come yet, and it’s ever so much past the time he said be would be here.” Her voice faltered.

SCREEN FA VORITES AT WORK ON NEW PRODUCTIONS While Theaters in All Cities Are Observing Paramount Week

Depression 1n the motion picture industry is now definitely a tiling of the Past, according to Adolph Zultor, pros! dent of the Famous Players Lasky Cor poratlon, who announced yesterday that Paramount pictures an- being shown this week in 10,700 theaters throughout the United States. "A national demonstration for better motion pictures" is what exhibitors are calling ttiis fourth annual Paramount I week. The Increased bookings contracted for hv tbeae theater owners and managers Indicate to Mr. 7-nkor that Indus trial conditions ba'e taken a turn for tile better, and that times are actually more prosperous now than a year ago "The old days of factory made pic tures, ground out with no other highr aim than to meet relea-e dales, have passed," according to Jesse 1-. l<askv. In charge of production of Paramount pictures. "Photoplay patrons have become more and more discriminating, and consequently It is becoming Increasingly difficult for producers to satisfy the public’s requirements. I’ert.i nly the flay has come when Indifferent stories can be used on vehicles for popular stars. The public today demands big piavs. care fully done and enacted by people of tested ability. "YVith this in mind we have determined to give greater individual atien tlon to each individual production from the moment the story is offered to as un til toe final print lias bom approved for exhibition.

But the morning passed, nnd there was no sign of Cavanagh. and Ninette made a pretence of lunching wltT Mrs Cranford "Something has happened I known it has!" she said again and again. “Mrs. Cranford. 1 think I must go round to his flat. He may be 111—be may want ! me!"

CHAPTER XXXVI. Cavanagh Finds a Way Out. “My dear, do a* you please,” was the answer. “I am sure there Is not the least cause for alarm. He will ocme presently, or ring us up.” But Ninette Insisted; she took a taxi and went lo her father's slut. But the caretaker told her that there was nobody there. , “Mr. Cavanagh and his man left last night, miss," he said, his eyes on her pale face. "They gave me the keys and said they should not be back for some time. I understand they were going to America, miss." Ninette turned away without answering. Fhe wen! out Into the street again, not knowing what to do. Fhe was in the grip of deadly fear now, and. try ns she might, she could not light against it. “Where to, miss?” the writing taxitnan asked her; and Ninette gave Mrs Cranford Is address. Where else could she go? After ill perhaps when she got back she might find him waiting for her. nnd have the joy of knowing that all her fears were groundless. She was almost happy ns sh-> rang the bell and waited to be admitted. After nil. why had she got in such a panic? Nothard and his friend both disliked

"In tho drawing room, miss. She satd would you go to her as soon ns you came In?’’ “Is she alone?" "No, miss two gentlemen." Ninette's eyes sparkled. One must be her father, of course! She went hurriedly to the drawing room and opened the door. Mrs. Cranford sat by the fire. She wns crying, her face hidden in her hands. A man whom Ninette had never seen before stood beside her, his face very grave and perturbed. The other man In the room was Peter Nothard. There was an eloquent silence when Ninette entered. Then Peter moved toward her. He shut the door and took her hand, drawing her gently forward. "My dear " he said; und his volca was broken with emotion. "My del-, we have some bad news for you. I hope you will try to he brave, Ninette. Your father ” He could not go on. Ninette broke in sharply. “I shall not belkve anything you say against him!

Mr. Reid is now at work on ‘Rent Free, - an unusually in foresting story by Mann Page and Izola Forrester Page. We also are planning for Mr. Reid a story unlike anything that has beeu done nefnre in pictures, it will be called ‘Across the Continent,’ and It is a racing story of an entirely new idea."

In addition to this Mr. Meigban will be the star in an unusually spec locular production, "The Sea Bride,” an original story by Edward Sheldon, the famous dramatist which among its settings will have some scenes on a desert Island. Elsie Ferguson already has completed "Footlights," which John S. Robertson directed from Rita Welman’s Saturday Evening Post story. Gloria Swanson also will be seen in a number of dramatic productions. Miss Swanson has completed “Under the Lash," written by Edward Knnbloek and Claude Askew, which, both as a book nnd a play with the title “The Shulamite” has had a tremendous success. Miss Swanson's next picture will be "The Husband’s Trademark," written for her by Clarn Beranger Betty Compson has completed under the direction of l’enrhyn Stnn’aws, "The Woman in the Case.” Clyde Fitch's greatest play.

Sept. 7—Sion Fein | Irish In America ire planning to “storm Congress while the armaments conference 'is In session. If the Lloyd George-D Valera pi aee negotiations come to naught i they expe-t to descend upon Washington a thousand strong for the entire period of the arms parley. Announce ment to that effect was made at a meeting of the local council of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic. Ah official of the association's executive committee aald In I case there Is to peace In Erin, recognl- | fionists would utilize the conference period to demand that Amerira forthwith insist upon pavin-'-nt of allied indebted -ness to the I nited States.

There are certain, for instance, to be contesting “delegations" from China with the southern republic of Fun Yat Sen and YVa Ting Fang clamoriug for admission along with the Peking government, which 1s the only one jo which America's Invitation was extended.

There is a little surprise In Washington thai Secretary Hoover and not Secretary Davis was ask-d by the President to draw up a plan for the fortbcom ing conference on unemployment. The primary reason. It. Is understood, for the selection of the Secretary of t’ornraercs is that Mr Hoover was the dominating figure in the national industrial conference convened by President Wilson In 1920. That conference dealt broadly with unemployment issues and went more or less exhaustively iuto some of the basic questions the impending unemployment parley will cover. James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, makes no pretense to being an authority on the economics oj labor. His forte In the labor moremect has been that of a born organizer, a natural conciliator and an expert In . delicate and important task of reeonI ciling labor differences I'op.vrlght, 1921, j by Public Ledger Company, t HARDING CUTS AUTO FROM MANY GOVT AGENCIES Economy Program Causes Federal Employes to Walk or Ride Street Cars. Special to Indian* Daily Tim** and Philadelphia Public li*d#r*r. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. “Harding economy” has helped to make the streets of Washington safer for the pedestrian. One of the witticisms of the war was that the infallible means of telling an enlisted man in the Army. Navy or Marine Corps from an officer was that the enlisted man walked while tho officer reclined In a luxurious automobile. At any rate it was not necessary to be much of anybody in the Government service to rate an automobile. The necessity for speed and the distances between outlying branches of the Government was a sufficient excuse. At the height of the war. more than 1,500 cars were being maintained for the use of Government employes. Every general and admiral, of course, had one, as did Cabinet members, but the courtesy oar extended on down the line to nearly every man who was the head of a bureau or division. Op top of this, many departments had automobiles assigned to them for general use to be ordered out by any employe on official business. Business was not alwaa official, however, for a good many of the ears frequented the country roaia on hot summer evenings. The “good old days" are gone. Street ear revenue has increased and vear once more is having its usual effect on leather. Hundreds of automobiles have been released by the various Government departments. The T’nited States Shipping Board now has only one where a score or more grew before. The Army has cut its seventy-five or one hundred down to a scant ten. Proportionate reduction has lieen made by the Navy and the official business rule really Is enforced. -Copyright. 1921, by Public ledger Cos.
