IT IS NO MORE than right that a city -which cannot protect its filling stations from daylight robbers should pay more for its gasoline! IT SEEMS LIKELY that the county commissioners will get their work dona on that Shriver avenue bridge before the park board succeeds in erecting the barricade it ordered because the county had neglected its work. AS WE UNDERSTAND the position of. the candidates on the sanitary ordinance, neither wishes to lose the votes of those who opposed it or those who favored it and each is having difficulty in carrying water on both shoulders! MR. ALBERT STUMP, the Democratic speaker who referred to “SliankHartman influences” at a recent meeting of the W. C. T. U., protests against the report that he offered an apology at the request of the ladles of the W. C. T. U. He says that he voluntarily withdrew his remark when Samuel Lewis Shank declared It an insult. Mr. Stump appears to have shown good Judgment and great agility in apologizing first! . / Hartman Should Retire ' J. Herbert Hartman owes to' the Republican party the obligation of resigning from the ticket and permitting another to complete the race for city Judge. From the moment it became apparent that he could not hope to clear himself before the election of the indictments for felonies pending against him In both the Federal and State courts it became his duty to his party, to himself and to the general public, to get out of the race. For it goes without saying that the people of this city are not going to elect to the bench a man whose morality has been questioned and who, by any combination of circumstances, Is unable to prove a clean character. Under these circumstances, the continuation of Hartman in the race would result In nothing more than his overwhelming defeat, after embarrassing his friends and injuring his party. Whether Hartman is innocent or guilty of the charges made against him is a matter of no consequences in connection with his candidacy. Were if possible for him to face his accusers in court and prove them in the wrong before election day, his refusal to resign from the ticket, could ba Justified. * But such is not possible and Hartman’s resignation is the next honorable step in the premises. Hartman’s task now Is not that of an office seeker, but the task of an accused man who must prove his innocence or go to prison. His chances of freedom are only handicaped by his persistency in clinging to the ticket, a persistency which could only have the effect of forcing the public to unite against him in such force as to eliminate whetever chances he might have had for election. Hartman has listened to very poor advice and his persistence in < mharrfissing his party and hiß friends by refusing to allow another to oppose the Democratic candidate for judge can only be regarded as another reason why he failed to measure up to the standard of a suitable candidate. A Hoosier Playground “Os all the beautiful pictures that hang on memory’s wall; the one cf the grim old forest seemeth the best of all.” This poetic visualization became an experience Sunday to many privileged to motor over the hills and through valleys and dales of Brown County —the Hoosier playground. Our Indiana artists have mirrored many studies on their canvases of these wonderful scenes. However, nature revealed herself to the eyes of thousands in such gorgeous autumnal beauty as to out- \ rival all the studies our artists have yet vouchsafed. Frost, with deft fingers, had tinted the abundant foliage of this extraordinary hill country with such variegated hues as to command such admiration that it seemed all nature laughed and was glad in the wonderful adornment of her glory. At this shrine of nature in Brown County a multitude of devotees had gathered from the neighboring cities and counties, centering in the quaint old capital of the county —Nashville —at lunch time, thenee to scatter hither and yon to the vantage points round about. Up the steep inclines of her glorious hills they climbed afoot, horseback and by motor and down the steep and tortuous declivities to the dales and valleys below amid a panorama of gorgequsness that beggars description—so amazing and extraordinary withal. The glory of the golden sunlight on the greens, the yellows, the reds and the crimsons that the foliage reflected in this resplendent landscape was a joy of thousands of Hoosier tourists and the experience will be indelibly Impressed as one of the grandest pictures that hang on memory’s walls. The Itineraries from Indianapolis were by two routes; one by way of Columbus, thence direct west to Nashville, the other direct south to Trafalgar and thence through the hamlets of Peoga, Spear3ville and Bean Blossom. By the latter route the great hill climb begins after Bean Blossom is left behind, an ascension tortuous and difficult to negotiate. The daring and the task of the climb is rewarded when the summit is finally accomplished, for here at Bear Wallow is a tower from which the promised land of beauty is seen In a complete cyclorama in all its gorgeous sublimity. All the hazard of the tour is worth while, for this reward that nature reveals and your soul is made glad. And so, whithersoever fancy directed —to Weed Patch Hill or out Steele’s Studioway—glad eyes gazed on the immeasurable charm as was presented in this great Hoosier playground on an autumn day. The Ordinance Must Stand . The candidate or citizen who, for any reason whatsoever, attcin,. j repeal the recently enacted ordinance for the sanitary disposal of sewage strikes a blow at Indianapolis which marks him as a reactionary of the worst type, without pride in his home city and too selfish to deserve a place in a better Indianapolis. Proper sanitation is absolutely essential to the growth of Indianapolis, present conditions axe a menace to health, and a handicap to economic Success. These conditions must be improved, not in the years to come, but in the coming year. Sacrifices must be made for the common good. There can be no turning back in the step toward a cleaner, healthier Indianapolis. Both Mr. Shank and Mr. Ralston have expressed opposition to the newsanitary ordinance, but neither will ever have the pow-er to repeal It. Mr. Shank now proposes that there be delay in the elimination of the menacing open vaults until such time as the Legislature can provide a method of extending the costs of the necessary improvements over a long period of years. Mr. Ralston suggests that the same object be accomplished by the | organization of a financing company to extend the necessary credit to the i property owners. Either method is possible of execution. Beth methods are intended to accomplish a very desirable purpose. Regardless of Mr. Ssank s talk about “loan sharks” and attendant evils, Mr. Ralston’s plan is deserving of the most consideration, for under it there can be no delay in eliminating the vaults and the sooner the vaults are eliminated the fewer the lives that will be sacrificed as a result of the disease bred and disseminated from these vaults. Right here is a question big enough to be the deciding factor in this municipal campaign. No man should be elected mayor of Indianapolis who does not support, wholly and without a single reservation, the effort to improve the sanitary conditions of this city as they will be improved by the enforcement of the ordinance to compel connections with sanitary sewers and Installation of septic tanks. Dissatisfaction with the drastic provisions of the ordinance can be overlooked, provided that the object of the ordinance is not attacked. Amendments designed to prevent hardships to property owners will be welcome as long as they do not interfere with the purpose of the ordinance, which purpose is to clean up Indianapolis as quickly as possible. Isn’t it strange that neither of our candidates for mayor has yet awakened *o the fact that the law creating the board of sanitary commissioners also confers authority under which the improvements demanded could be, made and the costs thereof extended over as many years as necessary to protect the Interests of the small home owner?

NEW YORK, Oct 18.—Now that the world series Is over and the strangers from all parts of the country have left for home, New York City proper Is settling down to clearing up Its own probi lems, among which we find, “How many automobiles has Mayor Hylan?” Every day for a week or more somebody has been adding to the number of motorcars supposed to be used by the mayor, the leant number mentioned being four. He was even accused of having more automobiles than either C. K. G. Billings or Vincent Astor, each with more than twenty. But it Is all settled now. The mayor has been vindicated. He has only two cars, one assigned to his office for offi--cial business, and it Is the property of the City of New York, and the other Is his personal oat, for the use of Mrs. Ilylan and their daughter, Mrs. John F. Slnnott. The latter car the mayor bought in 1917, and, being a second-hand car then, it Is now a third-hand car and not for sale. His chauffeur testified under ; oath that It had never been in a city owned garage. * • * APARTMENT HOUSE TO CATER TO DOGS. And now comes the New York apart- ! ment house with parquet floors for pet | dogs. Mrs. Edgar Saltus, widow of tho novelist, is building it In the Bronx, and she says It Is going to be a model flat house. "I have had experience .In taking my dogs to hotels and I know how difficult It is for people who own and love them, she said. "In my apartment house dogs will be welcomed. There are to be French windows, nil Italian pergola, trellised with roses on the roof and a patio with drinking fountains for people and animals and a private garage at the rear.

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping House With the Hoopers [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally 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.] TUESDAY. Mrs. Hooper was welcomed joyously by I the family when she came downstairs to i dinner, looking pale and very much j thinner as the result of her long, harl i vigil in the baby's sick room. They all I felt, however, that the real celebration j would come when Betty was entirely re--1 covered and able to take her place once 1 more In the circle around the table. Her still empty highehnlr kept even the Irresponsible Helen from welcoming her mother ns boisterously as her Inclination suggested; and Roger greeted her with as much emotion as If she had Just returned from a long and dangerous journey. “It Is so good to be back with you all again,” said Mrs. Hooper with tears In j her voice as she took her old place at the table in tho center of which Helen had arranged, lu a largo glass bowl, the bunch of yellow chrysanthemums that Aryitle Belle had sent down from the city ' to celebrate the occasion. “How long will it be before Betty can come down?” Inquired Helen. "When she 1 comes back we will have a real party.” } "It will be several weeks yet before the doctor will let her leave the room," replied Mrs. Hooptf, "because It will take her a long time to get back her strength But you can come up and see her for a few minutes 1n a day or two. She Is beginning to ask for you all, < specially for daddy." i "Are yivu going to stay down all the time now?" Inquired Roger anxiously. “Oh, yes,” his mother replied. “Your father and I will take turns now staying with Betty, and grandma can go up and sit with her, while I stay down here and do some of the things that 1 know need my attention.” "Isn’t the Bride coming over to nurse Betty any more?" asked Helen. "Only occasionally, now.” was Mrs. Hooper’s answer. “Her husband Is at home you know and she has to get back to her housekeeping, though Betty has grown so fond of her that I suppose she will he wanting her constantly." i "The doctor says that she is really a I very remarkable nurse,” observed Mr, Hooper. "I shall always feel that I owe Betty's ■ life to her devotion and skill," replied Mrs. Hooper feelingly. "The doctor agrees that it was the nursing that saved Betty and not anything that he did for her. and 1 know that I could not have managed it all alone." “None of us had much of an opinion of the Bride as a housekeeper," remarked Mrs. Hooper’s mother, "so It certainly did urprlse us when she turned otit to be such a wonderful nurse.” “I think she will be quite as good a housekeeper ns she Is a nurse In Jtlme," responded Mrs Hooper. "Well, Judging from the way she talks aba Is very much more Interested In nursti g than in housekeeping." rejoined Mr. Hooper. "After arguing about It a great deal.” said Airs. Hooper, "she and 1 cannot yet agree ns to which Is the more Important for a girl to have —a trained course in nursing or one In domesflc economy as part of her education while she Is still going to the high school,” "Welt. I’ve decided already to he a nurse." announced Helen. "I know It’s a lot more Interesting than housekeeping and besides I like the wav a nurse looks 1n tc-r uniform.” The menu for the threo meals on Wednesday Is; BREAKFAST Apple Sauce Cereal Baked Sausage Potato Muffins Coffee LUNCHEON Baked Spaghetti and Cheese Kyo Bread and Butter Ginger Bread Grape Juice DINNER Cream of Tomato Soup Broiled Halibut Mashed Potatoes Brussels Sprouts Apple Pie POTATO MUFFINS.

By David Cory One day early In the morning, for the 1 circus, you know, does lot commence 1 until the afteriiron. Puss was standing j outside tile great tent when a woman . canie by and stopped to talk to him. For everybody was Interested in Puss Junior He was now a famous bareback rider and there tvns nothing he couldn't do ! on Dorsetack, except, perhaps, go to I sleep. Well, the woman stopped and : looked at him for a few minutes and then she said: "I have a little husband No bigger than my thumb. So I keep him in a birdcage And keep him safe at home.” “Why don't you bring him to the circus and let us show him for a freak?”! said Puss. "He'll make more money that way than living In a birdcage." "So be might.” said the woman. “I will bring him here this very day." And

away she went as fast as she could tot homo. Well, by and tty, sh® returned, carrying a leather bag. and when she opened It who should Jump out but Tom Thumb. Wasn’t that strange? And you should have seen how glad he was to see Puss Junior. As for Puss, he lifted the little fellow up in his paws and grinned and ! purred, he was so delighteO once more , to see his former little comrade. "A\hat! Are you old friends?” asked i the woman, stretching out her hand to , take Tom Thumb. I “Don't let her take me,” cried the lltI Ge fellow, and, of course. Puss Junior wouldn't, although the woman became ; very angry. “I'm not her husband,” j cried Tom Thumb, "and all she want* to do is to be cruel to me. Save me, dear j Puss I” i Well, of course. Pus was never ap- : pealr-d to without giving aid. and, what is more, he was fond of Tom Thumb for old times' sake, so he turned to the woman and said with a fierce look. "Leave ; him with me. He was my comrade once ; and shall be hereafter. You have no right :1° him," and with these words Puss i marched into the tent, leaving the woman | to do what she might. He didn't care, for he was in the right, and when that is the case he can be l raver, even if he is a small cat. As soon as Puss told his friend, the clown, what had happened he said, “We’ll never let her get Tom Thumb. He shall stay with us as long as he likes.” And then the lovely circus lady came up and shook hands with him, and everybody said, “Hurray for the little friend of Puss Junior!”—Copyright, 192 L (To Be Continued.) Legion Notes To make former doughboys feel at home, unique plans were laid for the Nebraska State convention of the American Legion at Fremont. Military police were stationed about the city that the soldiers might have the pleasure of blithely disregarding the red arm bands of one time authority. Officers in Sam Brown belts and shiny puttees were conspicuous, but privates passed them by, cigarette In month, with a nod of recognition answering for the old snappy salute. Woodmen shoes clattered over cobble stones to 1 bring back memories of French villages and to strengthen the illusion, small boys in street corners pleaded: "Give me on® 1 ceegaret, plees?” Signs on tumble-down buildings advertised “Yin Blanc" and "Yin Rouge" and other all but forgotten commodities of the French countryside. R. C. Baines, general manager of the American Legion Weekly since February, 1920. has submifted his resignation, effective Nov. 12, to become vice president and business manager of the Army and Navy Journal. The business and editorial policies of the weekly were approved by a surveying committee which ia-st week made a thorough investigation of tbe organization's national publication. Daniel F. Steck, national executive corainiteeman of lowa was chairman of the committee. In face of the industrial depression, it was shown, the magazine is making a profit and has virtually wiped out a deficit Incurred before the reorganization of the Legion publishing corporation in February, 1920. Construction of two national hard surface highways, one from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the other from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, is urged upon the Government in a plan originating in Denver, Colo. The national organization of the American Legion has been asked to indorse and support the proposition, the originators pointing out that it would give work to thousands of unemployed ex-service men. Marshal Foch has been voted a m°mler of George Washington Post, the American Legion. Washington. D. C„ the first legion post in the world to receive a charter. The post held that the marshal was eligible because he has commanded American troops in action. A motion to make the generalissimo's dues 5,000 centimes was toted down, however. Another local Chamber of Commerce which will roc Tic in harmony with the national' organization’s fight against adjusted coiiiiiensaiioii for ex-service men is that of Aiihurndale. a suburb of Toledo, Ohio. The Chamber of Commerce there has Just been organized try- members of an American Legion post. Formation of the commercial body was undertaken by the Legion men. they said, purely as "part of our duty to the community." For the burial of one cf their war dead, American Legion mec of Marshfield and North Bend, Ore., posts were required to travel seven miles in an open boat and then hike two miles with the casket over a muddy road in a drenching rain.
