THINGS can’t be so bad with the railroads planning 500 miles of new construction. ■ NOBODY will object to that proposed longer term for Congressmen if they will make the sessions shorter. ANYBODY ELSE but a miner would have protested if his emplo>er wished to take his dues out of his salary. FUMES from a whisky still in Detroit killed one person and made three others iIL What would be the effect of about half a pint of the stuff? HUNGARY Loath to Give Up King-Headline. With Hungarian money worth about a dime a barrel, can anybody explain why they should wish to pay the board bill of an ex-King? A WOMAN who killed five men has been convicted of second degree murder. If she had killed only one it is probable the offense would have been considered too negligible to worry about. IT IS ESTIMATED that if all the energy dissipated in the campaign could be diverted to a useful purpose it would be sufficient to build a railroad as long as from here to the moon. I— W tomorrow he w,U owe hU election to the same lack of good sense on the part of his opponents t at won him the Republican nomination. From the time Mr. Shank became the nominee on to today the opposition to his candidacy has been conducted in a manner that made votes for him instead of against him. Voters who never were enamored of Shank have been driven to his standard by repeated appeals to class distinctions, by wholesale lying and abuse and by distortion of facts so flagrant as to disgust everybody. The logical opposition to Mr. Shank in this campaign was, of course, the Democratic party. Yet, those persons who pretended to be opposing Shank started the campaign with a program designed to wreck the Democratic party. Their first proposal was that Boyd M. Ralston, the Democra i nominee, retire and allow them to name one of their tools as the candia*t% a fling that bit of political treachery they sought by every means in their power to obtain control of the Democratic organization that they j might manipulate Democratic affairs with their own interests as the measure of manipulation and the defeat of Shank a secondary consideration. proceeding along this line they relegated to the background those members of the Democratic party who had proved their- ability as organ-1 izers in the past and pushed to the fore men whose prominence in the campaign was a guaranty of inactivity on the part of hundreds of others. Firm In the belief that they could "get away with anything, they "framed" an expose of the Francis-Hartman affair in such a manner as to disclose an obvious effort to strike at Shank’s character without a scintilla of evidence to support them. ... Failing to besmirch the character of Shank through misrepresentating the confessions of a thief that a jury has failed to believe, they attempted to create a sentiment that Indianapolis is on the verge of a moral collapse and only their success at the polls could avoid a dire menace to the city. ' In a word, the opponents of Shank turned away from a thousand reasonable arguments for his defeat to manufacture and promulgate a few unreasonable arguments that have collapsed completely before the campaign ended. The result of this misdirected campaign is that the good reasons for the defeat of Shank have been forgotten, while the fallacy of hs reasons that it was sought to establish is so apparent as to render all argument In addition, there has been created an appeal to class distinction that is very much to the advantage of Mr. Shank. There is no use denying that there are a great many more voters in Indianapolis who are not wealthy and do not read their names in the Blue Book than there are voters who do It is also an undeniable fact that the voters enumerated in the Blue Book cannot coerce those outside of it into accenting their choice for office. No one knows this better than Mr. Shank and few have ever been as clever in taking advantage of it. No political organization is ever going to be successful while it permits social distinctions to enter into its membership qualifications. Boyd M. Ralston, the Democratic nominee, is a great deal more nearly the kind of a man Indianapolis needs for mayor than Mr. Shank. This would have been evident to the most prejudiced of the followers of Mr. Shank had Ralston? qualifications not been completely hidden by the efforts of those who have sought to "assist” him to win. Today, the issue is not to much between Sir. Shank and Mr. Ralston as it is between those few who believe Indianapolis must be “saved” and the great majority of citizens who are very weary of listening to the repetition of the theory' that the city is not able to govern itself without the bossism of & few self-appointed guardians. Judging Mr. Ralston wiinout regard to the kind of “assistance” he ha3 had in this campaign cannot help but bring forth the verdict that ho is best fitted to be mayor. But his caust will not be judged without due consideration of the charm>tsr and motives of those who have pushed his well wishers into the background in order to make a sham spectacle of their assumed virtues. If Mr. Ralston can win with the handicap created by the methods of the opponents of Mr. Shank, he is entitled to much better rewards than the office of mayor.

Poor Emergency Service The absurdity of stationing emergency ambulances at the city hospital. more than a mile from the center of Indianapolis, was illustrated Saturday afternoon when an accident victim lay in the lobby of the Times office for more than twenty minutes awaiting an ambulance. There was nothing unusual about the emergency or the procedure that followed it. All the agencies functioned as well as they usually do, but approximately thirty minutes elapsed before the injured woman was on the way to receive proper attention, and it is reasonable to presume that at least ten more minutes elapsed before she could be comfortably placed. The center of the business district of Indianapolis may reasonably be expected to be the scene of street accidents. Common sense would dictate that if an emergency ambulance service is to be maintained at all in Indianapolis its headquarters should be somewhere near the heart of the city. But for some reason which has never been explained, throughout two or more administrations, Indianapolis has maintained its ambulances at the oity hospital and those persons who have been injured in the heart of the city have been subjected to untold suffering while these emergency ambulances hurried over poor streets for more than a mile, through heavy traffic, to their aid. The system is inadequate, antiquated and inhumane. Eventually the number of persons who suffer because of it may be so large as to compel the attention of the authorities to its improvement a- . . Perhaps! . A poetic person once remarked that these are melancholy days, the sAddest of the year. It may be that this person either had eaten too much mince pie, which flourishes at this time of year, or, what is more likely, that he was so troubled with dyspepsia that he wasn’t able to partake thereof. There is one thing in favor of this poe*ic person and that is that he did not live on an Indiana farm. Perhaps he had never even visited a Hoosier farm at this time of year, where the table- is daily loaded with good things, including several kin3s of preserves and, best of all. fat, brown pumpkin pie. Perhaps he had never visited Brown County when the trees were dressed in glorious colors. Perhaps he had never shuffled through the dead leaves searching for hickory nuts and walnuts and ohestnutt. Yet there is another possibility that would have been sufficient provocation for even a stronger statement. Perhaps he had to livu through a city -campaign.

The • continental beauty of Negri Is well used in this movie, but, personally, I am not of the opinion that she reaches the great heights that she did In “Passion.” j That probably Is an unfair comparison be- I cause “One Arabian Night” Is a romantic \ fairy tale which Is full of comedy. To my way of thinking the real star | of “One Arabian Night” is Lubltsch a* j the hunchback clown. Half of the time he Is playing the role of a dead man.

ly handled as If be were a sack of meat The sight of the witch lady attempting to dance with a “corpse” Is extremely continental In Its atmosphere. There are many people In the cast and the photography Is of a high order. The harem scenes probably will be the most discussed parts of the movie. Personally, I enjoyed the work of Lubltsch as the hunchback clown better than any one else tn this big production. A colorful Oriental prologue precedes the picture and puts the audience in the proper Oriental trend of thought. At the Circle all week. —W. D. H. -I- -I- -IKILL THAT VILLAIN THAT'S OUR PRAYER. Boy, page a man with a gun. Never have I wanted a gun in all my life as I did yesterday afternoon. I generally am a calm individual, but take It from me the villain in “God's Country and the Law,” got me all worked up. Theater owners tell me that only “real attractions” cause one to forget. If that be true, then this movie has all the ear marks of being a winner. Jacques Dore Is the villain of this movie drama of the north. He is the most s contemptible villain I have ever met on the screen. Death comes none to soon for that man. Dore is at first a “whisky runner” and then becomes a wrecker of homes in the north. His specialty in the last vocation is defenseless women of the great northwest. That is the object of this story ol James Oliver Curwood—to get one all excited. Just when one gets the feeling that the villain has to be put out of the way, fate comes trailing along and the villain Is dispatched without the aid

On second thought, you will realize that you are In the .-ilhnmbra theater and not in the great northwest. This picture certainly gets Into your blood. It Is melodrama with a terrific kick. Goth, how I hate that villain. Nearly forgot to tell you that the natural scenery of this movie is one of rare beauty. Am sure you will be delighted with tiis cub nears. They are so cute nnd they are great actors. If you like tense melodrama of the northwest, then“ God's Country and the Law” will please you to the limit. Gosh, how I hate that villain. At the Alhambra all week.—W. D. n. -I- -I- -IGEOROF. WALSH APPEARS AS A SPANISH DOUG FAIRBANKS. You “love” Doug Fairbanks? Sure. Then you will ha very fond of George Walsh in "Serenade,” a romantic Spanish story, which Is now in the second day of its engagement at thy Ohio. George Is a regular Spanish Dong Fairbanks in this movie, as he swings from one chandelier to another nnd finally throws bimseir through a window on to the back of a horse, which carries him to safety. He vaults over high terraces, climbs the walls of houses, rides fast horses —all to save his lady fair, Marla del Carmen, from becoming the unhappy wife of Ramon Matlccs. True love and the Fairbanks' ability of Walsh wins in the end, and Marla is his for life. This movie was produced by R. A. Walsh, a brother of George. This picture seems to be a family affair, as Miriam Cooper, in real life the wife of the producer, Is co-starred with George Walsh. The cast is so satisfactory that I give It in full, as follows: Marla del Carmen Miriam Cooper Rancho George Walsh Her mother Rosita Murstinl I'epuso, his father James A. Marcus Domingo Maticas Josef Swickard Ramon, his son Bertram Grassby El Capitan Ramirez Noble Johnson Don Fulgencio Adelbert Knott Juan William Eagle Eye The dancer Ardlta Milano Pedro Peter Venzuela The secretary John Eberts Zambrano Kennedy It Is an exciting story, With lots of fighting, intrigue and everything eUe

that one would expect to find In Spanish atmosphere. The acting Is unusually good. So Impressed am I with the charm of the story and the way it has been transferred to the screen that I look forward with pleasure to other First National attractions that are to Le directed by Walsh. I am going to cherish this charming story as one of the artistic and pleasing productions of the year. Not a wonderful picture, mind you, but a mighty satisfactory one. Not to be missed by those who enjoy romance, pretty moonh and lovely women. Miss Cooper shows up to advantage in a dramatic way in this movie. At the Ohio all week. W. D.

Bebe Daniels’ desire for speed lands her behind jail doors In a movie called “The Speed Girl,” now on view at Mister Smith's. .Bebe is good to look upon at all times, even when she Is behind the bars of a jail. “The Speed Girl” Is the sort of a picture you like to see Bebe Daniels in, because It affords her ample opportunity tJ display lots of pep and fine clothes, many of them being stunning creations. Bebe is first seen as a baby, then as a little girl and finally as a grown-up lady who loves to dirve a racing cifr faster than the law allows. There is also a horse race in which Bebe's horse runs away with her. She is rescued by a dashing ensign who Immediately falls in love w.th her. Being a sailor be must

with a tiny hit es soda, boll np, and ser\e. ROLLED BOILED BEEF. Cut an oblong piece of beef from the flank. It should be two Inches thick, twelve Inches long and six wide. Lay it on a dish and spread upon it this forcemeat : A cupful of cracker crumbs, two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped salt pork, half a teaspoonful of salt, one ualtspoonful, each, of thyme, marjoram, and sage, and half a saitspoonful of . cj per, a few drops of onion Juice, or one teaspoonful of chopped onion, and ouv egg. Moisten with a good stock un'U soft enough to spread over the meat. Roll as you would a valise ; tdding, tie about with pack-thread and saw up in a mosquito netting or cheesecloth.. Put on in plenty of boiling water and cook slowly for four hours. Let It lie in the water until the latter is a little more than lukewarm, and put under a heavy weight until next day. Remove the cloth, cut the strings and serve cold with horseradish sauce. Corned beef is very good prepared In this way. Add vinegar to the water in which it Is boiled and omit the pork from the stuffing. YOUNG TURNIPS STEWED WITH CREAM. Pare, lay in cold water one hour; cook tender in two waters; drain and cover with hot cream (heated with a pinch of soda) or hot milk, If you have no cream. Simmer gently for five minutes: stir In a white roux made by cooking together

a tablespoonful of bntter and one of flour, salt and pepper and serve very hot. CHEESE SALAD. Cut two-inch rounds of cream or Neufchatel cheese one half inch in thickness. and place ou crisp lettuce leaves. Cut the yolks of two hard boiled eggs , through the vegetable press and place a i teaspoonful of this yellow powder in the I center of each round. Serve mayonnaise or French dressing in a separate bowl. MARSHMALLOW LAYER CAKE. Cream a cupful of butter with two cupfuls of sugar, and when smooth and I light, add the well-beaten yolks of six eggs, a cupful of milk and two cupfuls of prepared flour, alternately with the stiffened whites of six eggs. If the batter is too thin, add a little more flour, Flavor with vanilla and bake in laver j tins. ■ filling for marshmallow cake Dissolve five tablespacnfuls of gum amble In a gill of cold water: then stir in a half cupful of powdered sugar until a little drop in cold water can be rolled Into a soft ball between the finger and thumb. Have ready-beaten the white or an egg and strain the sirup into this, beating the stiffened egg constantly as you do so. Flavor with vanilla and spread upon the cake layers with a knife dipped Into boiling water. BOILED CUP CUSTARDS. Heat a quart of milk In a double boiler, but do not bring It quite to the boll. Bent five eggs light and stir Into them half a cupful of sugar. On this mixture pour the scalding milk very gradually, beating steadily all the time. Return to the double boiler and cook, stirring constantly, until the custard is thick enough to coat the spoon. If boiled longer than this It will curdle and separate. Remove the custard from the fire, season with two teaspoonfuls of vanilla and set aside to cool. When cold, nearly fill glasses or cups with the mixture and heap with a meringue made by whipping the whites of two eggs stiff with two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Helpful Household Hints Dried beans and peas should be kept j In wooden or tin boxes with closed tops, or the pretty sets of jars which come for.this purpose. Have cannlsters with tight lids for coffee and tea, and keep them shut. Coffee loses strength and flavor when exposed to the air. Tea softens and molds. In buying crackers give the preference to those packed in tin cases. If they come in paper boxes, set these In tin

receptacles or In atone crocks with snugly fitting tops. Never throw away a tin cracker box. It Is always useful. After cheese Is cut, wrap In tin foil cr in soft (unprlnted) paper and keep In tin or In stoneware. Crusts, bits of toast, broken crackers and stale slices of bread should be kept In a dry pluce until perfectly dry; then set in a moderate over for an hour before crushing with a rolling pin. Keep these crumbs In a glass Jar with a close top. They are invaluable for breading chops and croquettes and for scallops. Get large tin boxes for bread and cake. Scald them frequently, drying thoroughly in the sun and have clean, dry cloths In which to wrap each fresh batch of bread and cake. It Is an excellent plan to make cotton bags in which to put lettuce, celery, tomatoes, spinach and other green things you wish to restore in the refrigerator. The shelves and ice box are thus kept clean, the esculents fresh. The bags should be of goarse, light cotton cloth, or cheesecloth and go into the weekly wash. Keep eggs In a cool place, yet not where they will be liable to freeze. If you store them in large quantities, pack In dry salt, the small end down. As an additional precaution, grease the shells and pour melted lard upon the topmost layer of salt. Waterglasa Is a popular egg preservative and can be purchased at most stores.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR. By David Cory Oh, but It was a fine morning, as Puss Junior, on his good gray horses trotted along Mother Goose Road In New Mother Goose Land. And how crowded was the road. Automobiles were thick as berries in June and Puss had some difficulty lu avoiding a collision. j “Dearie me,” he said aloud, “this Is ! terrible. Now in good Old Mother Goose ; Land one never was bothered like this, i One didn't hear a horn screeeh on one side and then on the other. Nor did one have to travel through clouds of dust. Oh, dear me!” And I'm sad to say that our little traveler began to grow very discontented. And the reason for all this crowd was that the county fair was being held that day, and so, of course, every one was going to it. And so was Puss Junior. Yes, sir! He was going to see the horse races and the prize pigs and the mam* moth cabbages and the funny side shows I where the skeleton man sits next to the I fat woman and the other freaks look as I solemn as they can at the curious couni try folk who buy the tickets. And Just then whom should he meet ! but Simple Simon. And then an airship came sailing by and' when the pilot saw Puss Junior he brought his machine down to earth close to Simple Simon. And then a little bird began to sing. And this is the little bird who every ones In a while sings these New Mother Goose Melodies you read In these stories, and some time I’m going to tell who the little bird Is. Well, anyway, this Is the song she sang: Simple Simon met a fly-man Going to the Fair; Said Simple Simon to the fly-man: “Can you fly anywhere?” | Said the fly-man to Simple Simon: “I fly high as the sky!” Said Simple Simon to the fly-man: “My goodness, that Is high!” ! “If you should chance to pass the moon | My good sir, won't you please Just stop on it and get a bit For me of nice green cheese?” “My dear Simple Simon,” laughed the aeronaut, “the man in the moon is only making curds and whey, so I’ve heard i The cow that Jumped over the moon is j with him now, and he makes no more ! green cheese.” Simple Simon opened his mouth very wide, but he didn't say anything. You | see, it took him quite a while to think, but while he was thinking he always opened his mouth so as to be ready when the Idea came to him, and just then | something happened, but what it was you must wait to hear until the next story, for there Is -no more room In this one.” | —Copyright, 1921. Mummy Ousted From Show as Real ‘Jonah’ SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 7.—A mummy, advertised as that of John Wilke* Booth, who assassinated Abraham Lincoln, proved a Jinx for a large carnival show company, which left the Black Hills for eastern South Dakota after a strange series of mishaps here. On entering the Black Hills the train was wrecked and one or two persons were killed. While the company was in the Black Hills a tent was blown down daring a storm. Injuring several show attaches and members of the audience, and when it was leaving the Black Hills In the midst of heavy rains, another wreck was narrowly averted. The story of the jinx as related by a member of the carnival show company la like this: About eight months ago anew attraction joined the caravan. It was supposed to be the mummified body of John Wilkes Booth. When the carnlcal company was on the Pacific coast last winter the crowds paid their money to enter the tent and gaze upon the leathery, raisinlike face of what was once a man and purported to be the body of the assassin. Then one day, after the series of misfortunes In the Black Hills, someone mentioned that there had been more wrecks, more accidents, more bad luck happening to the whole company since the mummy had joined the show than before. Gradually the feeling spread, like the Bible story of Jonah, and the mummy wag finally publicly branded aa the “Jonah” of the shows. A committee waited on the management, declaring a strike unless his mummyship was ousted. The committee had the backing of nearly the entire personnel, and so the management yielded. Out went the mummy, bag and baggage. Now the members of the company are waiting to see if good fortune will return.
