WE THINK those police women should resent the implication that it is for "fatfryers” to work on them! NEVERTHELESS, the movie kiss will continue to be a drawing card, even if it is a few feet shorter* THAT MEMORIAL provision of the Fairbanks will appears to have been the only one that required no effort to interpret! OH!'"WELL! Mr. Ralston should not worry about the lack of money that confronts him at the opening of his campaign. There are a lot of people in all walks of life who are undergoing the same experience.

Oust the Slackers! Efforts to abate the fly nuisance that 'follows in wake of the State fair have disclosed: v 1. That following a time-honored precedent no proper arrangements were made by the board of agriculture for the immediate removal of garbage. 2. That because it was not requested to assist in the disposal of garbage the sanitary board paid no attention to the situation. # 3. That because it is intolerably inefficient the city board of health failed, both to prevent and to abate the nuisance, although the taxpayers of Indianapolis are taxed more than $15,000 a year for the maintenance of a body of inspectors, any one of whom could have coped with the situation. The State board of agriculture, through its secretary, I. Newt Brown, admits the inadequacy of its sanitary arrangements, deplores the resulting nuisance and pledges itself to avoid the offense next year, which is about all that it could be expected to do under the circumstances. The sanitary board, through its chairman, Lucius B. Swift, declares that the health board has Jurisdiction over the fairground, and that his department of the city government has no authority in the premises. The public generally will agree with him in the further observation that "whoever has 1 this job should attend to it." The city hoard or health, of which Dr. W. A. Gatch is the president and Dr. Herman. G. Morgan Is the secretary, is primarily responsible for the nuisance and its general inefficiency wras never more completely demonstrated than in the able manner in which it failed to carry out the duties devolving on it by law and expected of it by the whole community. The attention of Dr. Morgan was called to the previous experiences of the neighborhood before the fair started. He said he would recommend that the board of agriculture revoke concessions of those standholders who permitted filth to accumulate. The State board s reply was that the city inspectors had authority to restrain standholders from creating a nuisance and it appears that three inspectors were assigned to the fair for that duty. These inspectors did not restrain the concessionaries from dumping filth all over the fairground. With their passive consent the grounds was turned into a public nuisance. And when attention was again called to the public nuisance, still another of these city paid inspectors visited the grounds and returned a false report t<? the effect that the grounds had been cleaned up. This is the kind of service for which the city pays salaries to ‘‘lnspectors.” It is the kind of official neglect that is growing intolerable in Indianapolis. It is a failure on the part of paid employes of the city to do their duty that is criminal in its nature. Tbe least that can be expected of the board of health in the premises is that the inspectors who so completely ignored their duty and the particular inspector who falsely reported the nuisance abated be summarily re•moved from the city pay roll. Failure to take such steps to Insure to the citizens of Indianapolis some returns for the $15,000 annually wasted on inspectors who do not inspect will only add to the general satisfaction that will follow the ouster of the present board of health administration with the close of this miserably inefficient municipal administration. Ralston and Shank Agree It is exceedingly difficult for any one not governed by prejudice to find any difference between Mr. Ralston and Mr. Shank in regard to law enforcement in Indianapolis in spite of the desperate efforts of a few misleaders to define such differences. * Mr. Shank 6ays that if he is elected mayor he will not permit city policemen to break into homes without search warrants, but will insist that the law enforcement officers be governed as completely by th law as they, in turn, insist the citizen Shall be governed. He elaborates on thi3 platform to the extent df pointing out instances wherein policemen are daily committing Illegal acts under the guise of law enforcement. Mr. Ralston says: ‘ But the fact must not be overlooked that in insisting upon law and order, I am also insisting upon safeguarding thj rights of man. The law and order policy then, for which I stand, means that no man’s personal rights shall be invaded with my consent.” If there is any difference at all in the positions of these candidates it is that AJr. Shank has pledged himself not to permit interference with personal rights, while Mr. Ralston has merely said he will not give hiß consent to interference with personal rights. * There is not enough of a distinction here jt er which to quibble. The facts are that this whole question of law enforcement Is a smoke screen under which the same elements that once deceived the public as to "good government” intentions hope to Ingratiate themselves with the public at the expense of others who are equally in favor of law enforcement hut not hypocritical enough to insist that they only are "good citizens.”

Dr. Jameson's Complaint Dr. Jameson of the street car company becomes righteously indignant over what he seems to regard as an effort on the part of city officials to deprive the company of a proper relief from jitney competition until such time as the company can be clubbed into making a contract with the city “outside the law.” It is this disposition on the part of the present city administration that is preventing street car service from improving and is allowing winter with its Increased traffic difficulties to approach while those who should be preparing to meet these conditions are giving an exhibition of a fiddling Nero. As Mr. Jameson says, the regulation of jitneys is a problem apart from any contract for service which might be negotiated. If jitneys are to be regulated at all it must be done under the police power conferred on the city by the State. A contract involving the use of this police power Would be an illegal contract and an immoral contract insofar as it might attempt to reward the city for performing an obvious duty. As to whether the company or the board of works is at fault for the delay in negotiations of a working agreement between the city and the company there need be no dispute. As we have said before, the board of works has no more to qo with the regulation of street car service since the company's franchise was surrendered than has the election board. Authority to regulate service, either by ordinance or contract, is now vested wholly In the city council and if that body were not so insufferably weak as to be unable or unwilling to take up Its duties there would be n j delay of improved car service about which to complain.

Better Business Conditions Stat.stics, the correctness of which cannot be challenged, disclose that during k he month of August there was a healthy grovfth in the number of men end women employed in Indianapolis. One hundred and four concerns, widely scattered and engaged In various businesses reported Increases in the number of their employes that gave a net gain of 1,023. The total number of employes of these conec-us was 16,765 at the end of August so, it is evident, that the increase In the number of employes was proportionately great enough to be appreciable. Since August the increase has been steady and there are indications that the rate of increase has been greater. Other statistics will disclose Che facts in that regard later. All of which proves beyond a reasonable, doubt that business conditiaqain Indianapolis have taken a turn that no matter whtrt the general condlticn of the concu-y has a solid :ni\-s'.:-:al foundation cox.ccrr.tnt wh'.c pride.

STORY of NINETTE By RUBY M. AYRES

Who’s Who in the Story NINETTE, a tiny waif who first saw tbe light us day In cheap lodgings in a dull road in the worst part of Ralham, i adopted by "JOSH” WHEELER, who shared hia meager earnings as a scribe on a Loudon paper, with the friendless babe. Ninette meets PETER NOTHARD, an editor, who rescues hee from sickness and poverty and takes her to his sister, MARGARET DELAY, who has a home a the countrv. Ninette is introduced to ARTHUR DELAY. Margaret's husband. DOROTHY MAN VERS, an oid sweetheart of N'othard’s, is a guest at Margaret s house Ninette meets. RANDALL CAVANAGH. a wealthy man of London, who confesses that he i* her father. Cnvaiiagh contemplates a business trip to America and places Ninette under the chaperonage of MRS. CRANFORD, a friend. Ninette is surprised to learn mat Mrs. Cranford is Peter Nothard’s aunt. Margaret tells Ninette that her husband has left her. Ninette overhears someone telling Peter N’othard that Cavanagh has paid Mrs. Crawford to keep her, hears them ridicule her extravagant dress and hint that her father bad done something disgraceful and would leave England for a while. Much to Nothard's distress, Ninette angrily tells him that she overheard his conversation. Upon learning thi t Peter Nothard Is to marry Dorothy Manvers, Ninette suddenly realizes her own love for hltn. The awakening startles her and she wishes her father wonli take her to America with him. In vain she waits for him and finally hears that he is dead. Nothard proposed to pay his aunt t* keep Ninette with her and insists, that Ninette remain ignorant of the fact that he is supplyin the money. Mrs. Cranford suspects Ninette’s fondness tor Nothard. but he still thinks she dislikes him. , Ninette now knows that Nothard loves her. and lather eyes he discerns her affection for him. Dorothy is severely burned and it is thought her beauty Is permanently destroyed. Because of Dorothy’s misfortune, Notbard realizes that their engagement tan not be broken unless it is her desire. Ninette and Nothard quarrel when he obevs Dorothy's request that he see her. While out Tor a walk, to quiet her troubled thought*, Ninette meets Arthur Nothard reluctantly tells Dorothy that he intends to marry her In spit* of her disfigurement.

CHAPTER XLV. The Approach of Disaster. Ninette had Just come In from a walk and her pale face was a little flushed with the keen wind, and she carried a big bunch of shaggy brown chrysanthemums in her arms. Nothard went while to the lips as thalr eyes met; but he only said “Good Morning,” quite formally, and Ninette held out her hand coolly. "How do you do? We are quite strangers; how Is Dorothy? “I think she is better, thank you. Haven't you seen her? "No.” There was ft little silence which Ninette broke. "Won’t you come in? I think tea must, be ready, and Mrs. Cranford will be sorry If you don't stay.” She led the way Into the drawing -or.m, but though tea was laid by the fire, the room was empty, and Ninette busied herself with pouring it out. "I've been In the park,” she said. She bardlv knew what she was saying Her heart'was beating fast, it seemed as If It must choke her. a lovely a.ternoon It's been, hssn't It ? ’ -Yes—at least, I don't know. It was dark upstairs.” - "In Dorothy's room—of course. 1 got, I'm so glad ehe is better. She carried a cup of tea to him, but Nothard took it from her and put It down on the table, keeping her hand firmly in his. “Ninette. I am not go.ng to be treated like this —as if we were strangers''' His voice was rough, his breath uneven. “Last tim* we met you—•” Her dark ere* were raised to hia. “Last time we met I offered you your choice, and you took it. I told you I would share you with nobody. I will not !** ‘Ton were cruel—unreasonable! What else could I do? Ehe was ill; It would have hurt her crueliy—•” Ninette's lip curled. “Hurt her! Nothing ran hurt her, except the loss of her beauty.” He let her go. “That Is a hard thing to have said,” he told her. Sbo repented Instantly. “It was. I am sorry. It was brutal of me! But why talk about It at. all? It's your fault; yon spoke of her. The subject was dead. I've forgotten It.” j She spoke hurriedly. She went njck to the table and poured another cup of tea with unsteady hands. Nothard watched her for a moment In silence. Forgotten, had she? He si i most bated her for having said that when he was so desperately unhappy that, he I hardly knew- what he was doing. Days and nights had been a hell of torment | since Ninette sent him nwav. He won--1 dered drearily what the future would • prove to be like, when there wns no i longer the vaguest possibility of avert- | lug his marriage. | Fain drove him to be cruel, and it was I-., th deliberate Intent that he said preset,tly : "If you have so easily forgotten, as you vay, perhaps It will be Interesting to you .(/bear that I am to be married as soon as Dorothy is well enough?” For an Instant It seemed to Ninette that a dreadful slience fell on oil the world. She felt herself growing cold from head to foot and for an Instant she thought she was going to faint. She bit her Up hard, to try to recover herself. She would rather hare died than let him see how his words had cut her to the soul. But all the will In the world oould not keep the pallor from her face, j or the look of stony shock from her eyes. I and after a moment Nothard said again, hoarsely: “Ton have not quite forgotten, then— Ninette?” She turned away—she could not trust herself to answer—and at that moment Mrs. Cranford oarre Into the room. Nti.ette made her escape soon afterward. She went upstairs wearily, too sick at heart to i oink, or to feel very much. She only knew that she longed desperately to be alone , so that she turned, with a frown of annoyance when

one of the nurses can}* from Dorothy’s room and spoke to her. ‘‘Miss Manvers would very much like to see you, if you could spare her a moment,” she said. Ninette flushed crimson. “Miss Manvers! I—please tell her ” She broke off. “Very well; I will come In a moment.” After all, why not? What was the use of shirking a fresh stab of pain now when all her life she had got to carry the deadly wound In her heart. She took off her hat, and without a glance at herself In the glass, went back to Dorothy's room. CHAPTER XLVI. Dorothy Tells the Truth. The fire had died down now, but a pink-shaded lamp had been lit some little distance from where the girl sat, and the first thought that went through Ninette’s mind was: “She looks Just the same—Just the same!” Then she saw that face was almost hidden by baaidftes and a wave of pity touched her heart as she went forward. "I am glad you are better,” she said gently. She sat down on the sofa be side her. “You haven't been to see me before,” Dorothy said. “No.” Ninette hardly knew how to answer. ”1 though If you had wanted me you would have asked for me. I thought perhaps you were not well enough to sea any one except Mr. Nothard.” There was a Utile silence; then Dorothy eald slowly: “I thought you always called him Tetr” ” Ninette tried to laugh. “Oh, no! Why, I don't know him very well! What made you think I did?" Dorothy shrugged her shoulders. “I thought you must, seeing what has happened.” Ninette's slender figure stiffened. "I don't understand.

mean? And—what has happened?” she asked quietly. She fedt the other girl’s beautiful eyes upon her and a vague fear touched her heart. Could, Dorothy possibly know? Had Peter told her? ' I ‘I only mean,” Dorothy went on, in the same smooth voice, which oul and hide so much spite and bitterness, "that if you don't know him very well It seems rather odd that he should be paying Mrs. Cranford to have you live with her! Os course, Peter’s a diear, and I know he doesn't mind in the least, but all the same—” Ninette rose to her feet. She was quite white, but she spoke calmly enough. “I can see you are trying to Insult me, of course, but I am afraid that I must ask you to explain, all the same. What do you mean, exactly? That— Mr. Nothard Is paying for me to be here? My father left me enough money to live with Mrs. Cranford, and—” Dorothy laughed. “Oh, that's only what they let yon think!” she said airily. “Asa matter of fact, Peter told me himself that your father would have left nothing for you at all by the time his creditors had been paid and that as he looked upon you as a sort of—moral responsibility, he felt It his duty to make It up to you as best he could.” She looked up at Ninette. “Didn’t he sort of adopt you?” she asked pleasantly. "He did tell me some story about It, but I've forgotten what It was.” There was a breathless silence; then, without a Ninette turned and walked out of the room. Her blood was hammering In her veins and her hands were clenched, and yet she-went downstairs to the drawing-room again. Peter had gone and Mrs. Cranford sat by tbe fire, reading. She looked up with a vague smile as Ninette entered. “I see by the papers, my dear, that —" she began, then broke off. “Why, whatever Is the matter?” Bhe rose to her feet In alarm “Is Dorothy worse?" Why, NlqetteNinette asked a hoarse question: “Is It true that I have no money and that Peter Nothard is paying you to keep me here?” She saw the flush rise to Mrs. Cranford's face and die down again as she tried to answer: "My dear child, what are you talking about? Peter—” Ninette stamped her foot; she was almost beside herself now. “Is it true? Is It true?” Mrs. Cranford broke Into helpless weeping and Ninette drew a long breath. She was answered! Paying for her to stay here! The man she loved! The man who was soon to marry another woman! She felt choking with outraged pride; she hardly beard Mrs, Cranfords lamentations and protests. “Who can have told yon? Nobody knew! Peter will never forgive me!” In the middle of It Ninette turned and walked out of the room. “Never any happiness in my life! Never any happiness!” The old thought came again and again into her mind as she went upstairs. What could she do now? Where could she go? So many times life had seemed about to open a gate through which she might enter—a gate that would lead into a pleasant garden of happiness —aud always It had closed again in her fate. If only refer end Mrs. Cranford knew of this fresh humiliation, then Peter must have told Dorothy himself—Peter, who professed to love her!. (To Be Continued.)

In the Realm Where Woman Reigns

Keeping House With the Hoopers

[The Hoopers, an average American family of live, living in a suburban town, on a limited Income, will tell the reader's of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the Conditions of the high cost of , living with, them.] FRIDAY. The group of club women were assembled in the Bride’s tiny living room Mrs. Hooper was so anxious that we should go right on with our meetings in spite of her own trouble,” explained the Bride, that she asked me to have you como nere and go right on with our discuislon about budgets. “I don’t really see that we can do much without her,” said Mrs. Owen helplessly, "we were to consider her budget as a pattern and from that make out one that would suit our own needs, and If she can't be here to consult with, we might Just as well have a little tea party and adjourn.” “Oh, I don't think so," exclaimed the energetic Mrs. Chapin.” She gave us a very good idea as to what the principle of apportioning our Income is and we ought to be able to work something out Just by talking It over." “And alno,” Interrupted the Bride, ”1 have a copy of the budget from which Mrs. Hooper works," and our rearrangement of it depends on our income, the number in the family and our mode of living. Some of you may be able to copy hers exactly because your Incomes and Jdvlng conditions are practically the same.” "Not any one of us five will be able to do that," said Mrs. Wright, "but with the larger number In the club section to which tbe plan Is to be submitted when we meet next month, there will be many such, and then the budget that each one of us plans will take care of others that have the same Incomes that we do, so that Instead of having Just her one pattern to submit, Mrs. Hooper will really have six different ones that have been tested.” “That is the reason that she doesn't want us to lose the time because she cannot be with us while Betty Is LI,” continued the Bride, “so she suggested your meeting with me and this afternoon we are to consider the first item in the budget which is Shelfcpr.” “Mr*. Hooper said the other day.” began Mrs. Wright, “that the majority of people these days are spending much more than they should for shelter, and also that It Is very difficult to regulate because people who own tbell own homes have almost ns much trouble trying to plan for the upkeep of the house according to their means as the others do who are foreed by circumstances to pay more rent than they ean afford in order to have the proper living conditions for their families." “Well—on Mrs. Hooper's budget." volunteered the Bride, “she allows sr, a week for her shelter which is practically $25 dollars a month or S3OO a year. We know that her income Is SSO a week so that allows approximately 12 per cent of the yearly Income for shelter ” "But." objected Mrs. Wright, who like the Bride, did not own her house, “it wouldn't be possible for Mr*. Hooper to secure the kind of house adequate for the needs of her family for $25 a month. She wouldn't be able to live in a house Ilk# the one she owns for less than SSO. I m mire.” “That's tree, of course.” acknowledged the Bride, "but if she had the amount of money invested In her house out where it was earning interest, together with the S3OO of her income apportioned for shelter, she could rent the same kind of honse for that extra money. My husband says that you most figure on money invested in property as Income yielding, and allow for It whetl you are figuring on a budget ” “That Is all very clear," answered Mrs, Owen, "but what I am wondering about is if a woman who like Mrs. Hooper had an Income of SSO a week, and a husband and children, but did not own her own home, would she find 1t possible to house a family of five In a $25 a month house?” “As I understand It,” said the Bride, “that percentage of the income for shelter is reckoned on a scientific basis, and really must remain fixed, and that conditions must be adjusted to fit them. For Instance it is quite possible to get a suitable honse In which a family of five can live comfortably for $25. but It may have to be some distance from the center of the town, or away from a car line or minus electric lights, or perhaps lacking a furnace, or may be neglected or out of repair. Many comforts may h:^ve

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory

Tou remember in the last story that little Puss Junior was traveling with the man and his trained bear, and that they had come to a little village just as school was out and the maq had made his bear dance, which had delighted the children. "Now, what can the cat on horseback do?” shouted a boy, who was looking at Puss on hia Good Gray Horse, and I guess that boy wished he had a pair of red-top toots and a horse liDb Puss Junior's, let me tell you.' "What tricks can you do?" whispered Puss In his horse’s ear. "Leave that to me, little Master,” answered the faithful animal, "but see that you don't slip off my back.” And then the Good Gray Horse began to prance, and first he stood np on his hind legs and then on his front legs, and then he whirled around and around till his tall stood out straight and knocked off a little girl's bonnet with a yellow ribbon on It, but she didn't care, for she was *o excited that she never knew it until everything was all over. "Now. Bruno," said the man. “take your hat and get all tbe pennies yon can." So the bear took off his funny red cap and passed it around, and all the little girls and boys dropped their pennies in it, and when the teacher came out he put in a dollar bill. Well, after that Puss and the man started off for tbe next village, but when they got there, It was nearly sundown. So they made a little camp In tne wood nearby, and the man made a fire out of dry pieces of wood and boiled some water in a little tin saucepan. and after that he got supper ready. The Good Gray Hors* stood nearby eating the nice tender grass and the bear ate some honey and nuts which the man gave him. And then, by and by. Puss felt sleepy, and when he heard the Twinkle, Twinkle Staf singing thla song, he fell rast asleep: “I wish l could rock in the big moon boat That sails through the dim ocean sky: But all I can do Is the mist clouds peep through

>..ch my little bright golden eye. But, oh, do you know, as I look down blow At the children all dreaming awar They feel sure that I from my house ’in the sky Am waiting the fjrst peep of day." Well, when morning came, the bear wouldn't get np for breakfast. He Just lay still on hia bed of dry leaves, and wouldn’t even let his master comb his hair. So Puss mounted his Good Gray Horse and said good-by to the man. for what was the use of waiting these If the bear wouldn't get up, you see. And after a while, as Puss rode along be came to a bridge which was kept by a little old woman, who wore a pink sunbonnet and a calico apron. And In he next story you shall hear what happened after that.—Copyright, 1821. |l° Be Continued.)

New Amendment Drafted by Women

Special to Indiana Deilv Times Philadelphia Public' Ledger By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—There will be a twentieth amendment to the Constitution giving women still further rights. Among tbe rights proposed will !be the choice of domicile, residence and name, Jury service, holding of all offices j un(ler tlae Government, ownership and i rol of labor and earnings • I* 13 * J® ° * a * T ' ls the amendment indorsed by the National Woman's Party is safely tacked on to the Constitution. you will have Just as much right to say where your home shall be as your husband; you don’t have to adopt Ills name, bnt can keep your own; no Judge or court will be able to keep you from sitting In a Jury box because you are a woman and if you choose to work outside your home, your time and your earnings shall be yours to have and to hold. ! Th ese are merely a few of the things I r “ at ' nv 'uld be brought about if plans adopted by a group of women lawyers meeting here a? (he new- headquarters or the National Womans Partv materialize. They conferred under the leadership of Miss Gall Laughlin, a lawver from San Francisco. For some months past the organization that worked |o strenuously to make tha suffrage amendment a fact has been struggling with another amendment to follow It. Miss Alice Paul, former chairman. has been studying law so as to familiarize herself with Inequalities of women in the law. Others prominent In the organization have been consulting attorneys and legislators with the result, that the twentieth amendment la now about ready for presentation In Congress.
