THE ANGLO-JAPANESE TREATY Is now merely a “scrap of paper.” FATTY ARBUCKLE’S lawyers probably will not really object to a new trial. CHINA, at least, seems to be getting something out of the disarmament conference. THE LIFE of John L. Lewis appears to be simply ore restraining order after another. A BREAK is imminent in the Irish situation, as usual, according to reports from London. THAT MAN MORSE is an independent actor for a man who is supposed to be under arrest. PREMIER BRIAND says American prohibition might be worse. It all depends on the point of view. THE ARBUCKLE jurors will testify as to the fallacy of the old theory that a woman continually changes her mind. IT APPEARS to have taken the health department a long time to discover that there are laws against promiscuous spitting. THE BEST THING about the new session of Congress is that the members will be eager to come home for the spring primaries. THAT MONUMENT CIRCLE building height question would be a good one with which to prolong the special session of the Legislature if someone should raise it there. MORE BUSINESS in Government Means More Business Men Must Aid Government Work—headline. Presumably this means in some way other than financially. INDIANA HAS RECEIVED $45,000 more in loans from the war finance corporation. ItTnay take {he Hoosiers a long time to discover a good thing, but they are not slow in taking advantage of it. THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS should wake up to the necessity of completing those buildings at Sunnyside for ex-service men suffering from tuberculosis, as well as to the necessity of building a war memorial. THE WAY for Democrats to win is for more of them to vote the Democratic ticket, according to Samuel M. Ralston. It is now up to the leaders to put forward the kind of candidates more Democrats can vote for. Going Too Far An unpleasant controversy has arisen between the city of Indianapolis and the State board of accounts over the payment of election expenses by the city. The board of accounts holds that the city has no right to appropriate money to pay the city clerk for his services as a member of the city board of canvassers, that the election commissioners hive no right to employ attorneys and that if they did have the right a fee o. $2,400 would be too much, and that $2,000 apiece is too much to pay members of the election board. The city has defied the board of accounts and has gone ahead and paid the amounts designated. There is no disposition here to defend the action of the city or to argue the case so far as the law involved is concerned- but it would seem that the State board of accounts is going a long way in undertaking to tell a city government what it may reasonably pay persons appointed by it whose remuneration is not fixed by law. This is not saying that $2,000 apiece is not too much to pay election commissioners, but it certainly would seem that the city and its citizens should have the right to decide this question for themselves without interference from another governmental agency. In the action of the board of accounts there is an example of centralized government in its worst form. Here is an examiner, an appointee of the Governor, an employe of an altogether separate governmental unit, presuming to tell a presumably self-governing city how much it shall pay its employes. It matters not whether it says the sum is too much or r.ot enough; the principle is the same. It is government in which the citizens as citizens of the city have no representation and over which they have no control. Who are the hoard of accounts to dictate to a municipality how it shall spend its money so long as the expenditures are within the law? The board of accounts has overstepped its bounds In this respect, not only on this occasion but on others. It may argue that thus It has at times saved the people some money, but, even so, the principle is one that should not be tolerated by a self-governing community. As we understand it, the board of accounts is just what its name implies. It has supervision over accounts; it is to see that they are in proper balance; it is to see that there are no improper expenditures in so far as this term is taken to mean expenditures prohibited by law or not provided by law; but it most certainly has never been given legislative powers, either oyer State affairs or city affairs. The citizens have a right to resent intrusion on the part of the board, even though they may agree that what It Is attempting to do would be the wise thing to be done. But they certainly should Insist that It be done by their own duly elected representatives and not by an outside body.
' Bootlegging* Ammunition Will “bootlegging” of munitions be added to the difficulties of the Nation after the close of the conference on the limitation of armaments? This is not a joke but a very serious question. It is pointed out that someone somewhere is right now manufacturing a goodly supply of ammunition and armaments generally. As proof of the statement it is pointed out that the Greeks and Turks are conducting a small war. It is recalled that neither country manufactures any appreciable amount of ammunition and that still they are well supplied. It is also pointed out that the Chinese are shooting something besides firecrackers. The large nations may be able to disarm. Would they at the same time permit their manufacturers to supply ammunition to small countries in order that they may conduct their comic opera wars? Some sort of prohibition is needed. It seems that the easiest and the most practical way of stopping this sort of thing is to make an international agreement to stop the exportation of munitions generally. This, however, could hardly be a total prohibition, for there are a large number of small countries that must maintain sufficient troops for police purposes that would be able to obtain their supplies In no other way than by purchase from other nations. The very life of such a nation is dependent on a military force at home much more than is that of a large nation. This phase of the disarmament question is a serious one and should be given consideration. A Real Opportunity The decision of W. H. Roberts, president of the Indianapolis Humane Society, to investigate the practice of the Indiana Medical College in employing youthful schoolboys to purloin cats and dogs for vivisection purposes should open up a field of fruitful research. If Mr. Roberts would employ the means at his command for a thorough probe into the conduct of the institution, especially its habit of breaking down the discipline of a public school by bribing the pupils to scour the streets and alleys for animals, it might be one of the means of correcting as an influence as ever existed in a community. The Humane Society in the past has been far too lenient with the care given by the college to the unfortunate animals brought there for experimental purposes. Here, however, is an instance where the institution has reached down into the public schools, where it has opened a path that might easily lead to sin; a proven incident that it has knowingly contributed to delinquency of boys. A public, outraged by the latest exposure, will await with interest the report of Mr. Roberts’ activities.
BARRYMORE FINDS AN ISLAND FELL OF PRETTY GIRLS Ring Up Another Triumph for Ingram—Hart on View — ‘Morals’ at Smith’s ,
Boy, get down a map of the world and locate for me the island of the Lotus Easters. After yon locate the island just buy me a one-way ticket. Don't bother about getting a return ticket. Sqme island it must be. It sure is. The island of the Lotus Eaters which Is “located” some place in the Pacific ocean on the way to Chinn, seems to be a better place to spends one's last years than the famous Cuba. John Barry-
more reveals this wonder island in the movie, “The’ Lotus Eater.” which made its first? Indiana showings yesterday at the Circle. You will agree with me that the Lotus eaters do have “some island." In the first place, this jolly old island is miles off of the path of ocean liners.
John Barrymore. Pretty girls, dressed in loose fitting Grecian robes and with sandaled feet, are the chief inhabitants of the island. Their kisses are as free as the dew. Os course there are plenty of men around who wear loose fitting Greek garments. The thing that I love most about the island is that there is no money there. Everything is free. Even th > drinks and when one gets too much he is not kicked out of the front door, but he is placed in a litter and taken to his abode. Even the tailor cuts the Grecian garments for nothing and the waiters at ttie island hotel do not even dream of tips. Oh, marvelous thought. Some island. Eh? John Barrymore as Jacques I.enoi lands on this island when he fails to reach China by the means of an air voyage. As the airship hovers near the island. John jumps out, lands safely in the ocean and swims to the shore. On “coming to,” he sees some Juicy • fruit” and after cracking one has a good meal. Then our little friend. Wesley Barry (>es. the freckled one) conies bounding along in his cute little Grecian tunic. Tie is followed by the pretty Colleen Moore, who is a lovely picture iu her Grecian gown. Mavis, (that being the movie name of Miss Moore iu this picture), directs Barrymore to The Dean (Frank Currier) who permits John to enjoy free of cost the wondt r- of the island. Free clothes, free cats free rooms In a cottage and plenty of beautiful women to frolic with in the sunlight as well as the moonlight.
Barrymore enjoys all of this when he thinks of his wife In New York. I forgot to tell you that John teak this trtp in the airship because his vise had decided that he didn't possess enough coin of the realm to stilt her. John decides to go back to the States. Colleen sheds many tears. She loves John so. But John finds that his wife, thinking him dead. Las married another. He demands his wife but sl.e settles the question by run nlng off to Italy (Gosh, who ever thought of running to Italy before?) with another man. John reaii7.es that Colleen will be true to him and he hurries back to flip inland where kises, moonlight, love, free meals, free clothes and the like await him. Everybody is happy, including our friend Wesley. This is delicious satire ami will give those who enjoy the unusual In their entertainment many bushels of real laughs The satire at times is delicate but so cleverly done by Mr. Barrymore and his associates that you will howl with Joy. This picture is free ~f the ordinary "hokum” and relies upon the tremendous amount of keen satire to make it rollicking good entertainment. Mr. Barymore looks tike an Apollo or a son of that particular Greek and Homan deity, if Apollo ever hail a son. He looks Immense In his Grecian costume and ho will cause the hearts of the fair ones to beat ever so fast when he appears in a Broadway dress suit with a soft collar. Colleen Moore is as pretty as her acting. Anna Q. Nilsson Is the right choice as the New York society wife of Barrymore. Frank Currier Is the dean of the X island who runs 'ip? the place with the home made )■/ cake scene r " Th '‘ R i Eater." Is a pic- ■ * I turn which will fit- Jr do your tired ~V - movie appetite a world of good. Colleen Moore. tt is as appetizing as a watermelon would be on a Christmas dinner menu. It is sparkling satire. Splendidly directed by Marshall Nellnn, who to my mind Is the most original of all directors. In “The Lotus Eater” Mr. Nellan haR given us anew movie dish. The work of Mr. Barrymore is as refreshing as the story is different. If you need a Rpring tonic in the winter time I prescribe at least one witnessing of “The Lotus Eater," at the Circle this week.—W. D. 11. -I- -|- -IEVER HEAR OF COVERED CARPET TACKS ? Guess you never heard of covered carpet tacks. Wallingford conceived the idea of manufacturing covered carpet tacks. But we are getting ahead of our story We will start all over again. Most every one Is familiar with George Randolph Cuesrer’s famous story, “Oet-Rlch-Qulck Wallingford,” and now you have an opportunity to see the screen version, which is the current offering at the Alhambra. Wallingford enters a small town with out any definite plan, but as usual his ready wit and smooth tongue brings everything his own way. This time he decides to engage In the manufacture of covered carpet tacks. A trusting hotel

The hotel clerk is immediately sent on the road for orders and conies back with 500,000 of them. Covered carpet tacks proves a great Idea and contrary to all expectations and plaqs, every member of the company becomes millionaires. One scene in particular that Is especially amusing, is where it is decided to take the company's picture. One fellow can’t hold his head still, so a brace is obtained to hold his head in quiet and peaceful repose. Another member of the company decides he must have a flower in his button-hole and a baltlheaded man puts on a toupe. The entire cast Is clever and there are some very amusing characterizations. We can't give you the cast because we haven’t been supplied with It. Maybe casts don't count for much these days. Eh? It is an amusing picture and well done. At the Alhambra all week.

"The Conquering Power" will give you more faith and a deeper appreciation of the artistic possibilities of the screen. Rex Ingram, who directed "The Conquering Power,” has handled the lighting effects and the action of the story with so much urtlstcy and masterful under standing of the art of directing thnt tlds picture is nearly perfection from n standpoint of beauty. You will go a long way to find any “sweeter" photoplay than is revealed In “The Conquering Power." I mean by “sweet" photography, that the lighting effects, the shadows and even the sunshine produce In one a sort of a mellow and honey satisfaction which comes over one on henring the first robin of the year. Get ray meaning? Tlds movie is an adaptation of Balzac's “Eugenie Grandlet" and Is made a screen event by the manner in which Mr. Ingrain has developed the scenes from an artistic and dramatic standpoint. I take It for granted that most of us know our Balzac well enough to recall the entire story by giving the cast. The cast which so capably presents “The Conquering Power” Is ns follows: Eugenie Grandet Alice Terry Charles Grandet Rudolph Valentino Pare Grandet Ralph Lewis Madame Grandet Edna Dlimary Notary Cruehet Edward Connolly Ills Son George Atkinson Abbe Cruehet Willard Lee Hall Nanon Mary Hearn Madame des Grassing Mark Fenton Cosneller ! Eugene Pouyet Alphonse '. ..AVard Wing Alice Terry as Eugenie Is one of those rare beauties of the feminine gender’ who cajises me to fear that something will
happen some day to cause her beauty to fade. She Is as pretty as a lily and as
sweet and unassuming as a violet. (I am no authority on botany but I do know my greenhouse.) She is the flower of the movies and as Eugenie she gives a performance of lingering and compelling cku rm. Her love scenes are natural. She never overacts and her sweetness is never sickening. In her moments of sadness over the pbsence of Charles, are ex-

No better acting on tlie screen today titan this individual performance of Mr. Lewis I recommend "The Conquering Power," because the protjueer has used his bruins In photographing a powerfully dramatic story. You will not laugh, but you will love and sigh, gasp ami hate and then love some more. At l.oew's State all week.—W. D. 11. AT I.A ST TIIE SPIRIT OK I.OCKK IS ON THE SCREEN. A’ears ago. I read "The Morals of Marcus,' by William .1 Locke. There are few of the modern novels thnt "stick” in my memory box but the quiet charm of the two leading characters of Locke's storv has remained In m.v memory box for these several years. Yesterday at 'lister Smith's, the dust on my memory box was wiped away when Cnrlotta and Sir Marcus, that conventional old English bachelor of high soc ia 1 position. the 'lf Torts u-ny as 'arlottn -ide' whether May '“'U“ her name i hor'ty tejts me I .

He onm- „ . pares that social May MncAvoy. edict with the life In a Turkish harm where the head of the harem sells his pretty wives to the high est bidder. Am sure you recall the story of “The Morals of Marcus” in which a little girl by the name of Carlotta has been raised lri a harem, but escapes when the Turkish lord of the place Intends to “sell her” to an Oriental who Is aged and wears a white beard. Cnrlotta escapes by the aid of an English chap who takes her to London, hut fate Is unkind, lie is killed and poor Cnrlotta is left alone on a park bench. Then, In the movie version. Carlotta meets Sir Marcus on the park bench and he takes hor home. I think that Locke causes her to crawl through some bushes and lands In his garden, but the little liberty taken by the movie producer in no way destroys the spirit of the story. The remainder of the story concerns the efforts of Sir Mar-

fThe Hoopers, an average American family of five, living In a suburban town, on a Hmlled Income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of ibe home are solved by woj-king on the budget that Mrs. Hoopef has evolved and found practical.

AVhen Mrs. Hooper met Mrs. Chapin at the station in time tt> catch the 9:25 train to the city as she had promised, she expected that several other members of the Domestic Economy Section of the Woman’s Club would be with her, as the understanding was that she would Invite as many of them as wished to go with her to shop for a tailored knit or street dress to go up with her and Mrs. Hooper on Monday. Mrs. Chapin has been anxious to have as many of them as possible take advantage of the bargain sale. Notice of it had been sent to her because she had been a customer for a number of years of the business house that was disposing at its goods at a discount. It was their custom when arianging one of these sales ti notify their regular patrons so that they might have the fikst choice of the bargains for a day before the opportunity given to the public. Mrs. Hooper was very much surprised to find Mrs. Chapin waiting alone on the station platform when she arrived two or three minutes before train time. “Is no one eiß> goin?” asked Mrs. Hooper. “I thought we were to have a little party of bargain hunters. Are we the only ones who need tailored suits or dresses?” “No, that isn't the reason we are go-

Miss MacAvov has caught the impish spirit that Locke has given to his character and she makes Carlotta a deliciously appealing characterization. \A r ho ever produced this picture has caught the | spirit and the purpose of the author, the j result being thnt the movie is nearly as I entertaining as the noval. Much of the j success of the movie is due to Miss MacI Avoy. ! Oh yes. Kathlyn AVillinms as Judith Mninwnring. a married woman of English society who doesn't know where her husband is and the intellectual companion of Kir Marcus, is excellent.

D. 11. ■ BILL HART CONTRIBI TKS ANOTHER THII.LEU TO SCREEN. Oh. boy, there are Indians and everything in Bill Hart's new movie "White i Oak." which opened a week's engagement at the L-is yesterday. Hart Is cast a- Oak Miller, a “straight" wstern gambler, a role whi -h fits Hart nicely. Oak's sister Is traveling west with Mark Granger, a worthless chap, who has “married" Oak's sister in a mock ceremony. Oak learns of the deception and makes it his object to take revenge on Ranger In the meantime. Oak's sister made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide by Jumping Into a river. Granger finds time to enter Into a conspiracy with a tribe of Indians to deliver a caravan of pioneers into the hands of ■ tlie Dedsktns. The Indians attack the pioneers on a wes'ern plain and the only hope of the pioneers is to get word to Oak. Ink s sister ties a note to the collar of her pet dog and dispatches l.'tn to Oak Oak receives tlie note and single handed kills ' all the vllltans and all the Indians who deserve a trip to the happy hunting ground. Os course there is a love affair run- ! nlng through the story as (hik meets the | “one girl In the world" for him when he : rescues the settlers from the blood thirsty j Imllnns. The cast is as follows: Oak Miller William S.

Nearly every woman I know goes up to the cky to shop a great deal oftener than I do, and can always arrange to leave early and come back in the afternoon.” “I know the real reason will Interest you,” answered Mrs. Chapin as she and Mrs. Hooper boarded the train and settled themselves in a seat in the rear car, “and especially so as if will emphasize the importance of establishing that budget system of yours iu Mayfield as soon as poshible.” “it was a question of money then?" ventured Mrs. Hooper. “But several of the women whom you must haye asked have a much bigger income every week than I have.” “That may be true,” assented Mrs. Chapin, “but not a single one of them had enough cash on hand to spend on a dress today, and this is a strictly cash sale to every one but regular customers." “That seems incredible.” - remarked Mrs.iHooper. “when I realize what very large salaries the husbands of several of them get.” “AA'ell I don’t mind confessing to you Mrs. Hooper." laughed Mrs. Chapin, “that in spite of the fact that my husband is probably the highest salaried man commuting from Mayfield that I should not have been able to buy a dress at this sale if I didn't have a charge account at the store.” “Do you mean to tell me that I am the only woman in our Domestic Economy Section who had any ready money on hand for clothes this morning?” inquired Mrs. Hooper. “There" may have been one or two others,” replied Mrs. Chapin, “I think the Bride had a balance in her clothes account, but she said she didn't need a dress, and I think Mrs. Campbell had money Enough hut Mr. Campbell needed anew overcoat before she could get anything for herself." “Mrs. Campbell!” exclaimed Mrs. Hooper. “AVhy she never used to have any money ahead. She was always complaining' that she never had either time or money enough to do anything as other people did." "AYell she certainly seems to have changed her tu:ie In the last six months," answered Mrs. Chapin, “and she never tires of giving all the 'credit for her improved manner of living to you."
