One day he city goes into the rental business and the next day it is proposed .hat it go into the insurance business. in Unfair Advantage The public service commission of Indiana began hearing the petition >f the local telephone company for higher rates yesterday—Just two lays after the inauguration of anew mayor and corporation counsel in ndianapolis. Opposed to the galaxy of attorneys and experts who were before the ;ommission for the purpose of promoting the interests of the telephone :ompany was Taylor Groninger, for two days corporation counsel. It was up to Mr. Groninger to protect the interests of the people of ndianapoHs and he was thrown into the case with no opportunity for reparation, with no assistance and with no personal training for the pork. The result of this condition, which the commission should not have olerated, is that the cause of the people of Indianapolis was presented mder great 'handicap and the advantage of preparation and extensive •.Xpert services was accorded to the telephone company. The greatest criticism of the public service commission today is hV it affords a court where public utilities may present theii pleas ritnout meeting a proper opposition from the public. of the utilities are not, as a rule, organized. The municipalties lXe neither the funds nor the talent for the proper presentation >f the of the people. In the hearing now in progress the municipality ,-s not accorded the time for preparation of its case. In this specific instance, it would appear that the public service comnission has given a great advantage to the utility by holding its hearing t this particular time. But, overlooking tnat unfortunate circumstance, tie fact remains that the people are almost invariably at a disadvant.ge when they appear before the commission through their municipal officers nd they will continue to be at such a disadvantage until such time as ley compel special provisions for legal work before the commission.

A Prank Too Many The first Indianapolis woman whom Mayor Shank asked to be mayor for a day” in furtherance of his spectacular but mistaken proram refused to serve. And she told the mayor that she was not at all in sympathy with rhat she termed “making a joke out of the mayor’s office.” This woman demonstrated considerably more acrumen than did the layor in asking her to ta_:e over his duties for a day. The office of mayor of Indianapolis is a position of considerable esponsibility and some dignity. Passing it abi t even for a day was ever contemplated by the statutes and was certainly not a part of the ampaign platform of any candidate. This community understands, of ourse, that Mayor Shank's offer to allow women to act as mayor one ay out of each week was merely one of the pranks that the mayor ives to play. The woman could not legally perform any of the mayor’s inctions and all that could possibly accure to her would be the light of üblicity in the reflection of which the mayor would be quite noticeable. We are not prepared to say that this proposed diversion from the erious duties of gove -ning this city would be “making a joke out of le office of mayor,” but no one will deny that it tends in that direction nd could easily be dis sensed with at this particular time. Mayor Shank ought to grant the greatest possible consideration to the r omen voters of Indianapolis who did so much toward placing him in office, hat consideration should take a substantial form and the women should 5 permitted to participate to the fullest possible extent in the affairs of le municipality. Making a woman “mayor for a day” is more in the nature of making joke of the women of the city than anything else, and certainly nothing i farther from Mayor Shank’s desires than that. lr. Harding*s Dog I President Harding is generally known as one of kindliest of men and Is admirers not infrequently refer to his fondness for animals and his >ve of pots. That this is not a pose assumed after entering the White ouse is demonstrated by a tribute paid to a dog by Mr. Harding when e was editor of his Marion (Ohio) paper. “It isn’t orthodox to ascribe a soul to a dog—if soul means immorility,” wrote the then editor of the Marion Star. “But Hub was loyal id loving, with the jealousy that tests its quality. He was reverent, itient, faithful; he was sympathetic, more than humanly so sometimes, r no lure could be devised to lure him from the sick bed of mistress ■ master. “He minded his own affairs, especially worthy of human emulation, id he would kill nor wound no living thing. He was modest and subissive where these were becoming, yet he asumed a guardianship of e home he sentinelled until entry was properly vouched. He couldn’t eak our language, though he somehow understood, but he could be, id was, eloquent with uttering eye and wagging tail, and the other exressions of knowing dogs. No, perhaps he has no soul, but in these lings are the essence of seal and the spirit of lovable life.” I Proper Curtailment I The refusal of the board of safety longer to stand the expense of lephones in the homes of policemen and firemen marks the end of a Itr time expediency that may have had merit at its inception, but is Iw sadly out of place. I When the practice was authorized it was anounced that owing to le low salaries paid by the city and the inability of the city to increase llaries at that time the payment for telephones should be regarded as a Irt of bonus for good service. Since then salaries have been increased Id the costs of living have been reduced. The bonus is no longer in Ider. I There are a few business houses in Indianapolis that pay for telelones in the homes of their employes, but the business houses nevertheir employes to have telephones. Just why the city lould afford special privileges to its employed is difficult to understand.

HOKUM AND CLAPTRAP ON MIRROR Not Necessary for Popular Success, Lasky States

“The splendid success being achieved by William De Mllles picture, ‘Miss Lulu Bett,’ is particularly gratifying because it is striking evidence that you do not have to play down to the American public,” said .Tesse L. Lasky, first vice president of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, in a statement issued this week. “Because some pictures, well acted and well produced have in the past not gone over to tremendous successes,” said Mr. Xjasky, ‘‘a certain section of the industry has apparently jumped to the conclusion that to be successful picture producers, must stick to hokum and claptrap. I have no patience with this theory, as it has been demonstrated time and again that you cannot aim too high In purveying entertainment to the American exhibitors and American people. “In producing ‘Miss Lulu Bett.’ as a picture, we not only took into consideration the powerful drama which lay in Zona Gale’s story, but we also were guided by the tremendous popularity of her novel and her play. We saw immense possibilities in this story as a picture, and we were strengthened in our belief by the receipt of numerous letters from club women and other leaders of various communities expressing pleasure that they were going to have a chance to see ‘Miss Lulu Bett’ on the screen. ‘‘The success of ‘Miss Lulu Bett’ at the Rivoli Theater, New York, as well as at other big first run theaters throughout the country proves we were Justified in our high hopes for this picture. Hugo Kiescnfeld, mauaging director of the Hivoli, told me lie thought ‘Miss Lulu Bett’ was one of the best motion pictures he had seen iu all the years he had been in the business. He wanted to book this picture day and date in the Uivoli and Kiatto, but other bookings previously made prevented. “Given to the public without clamor and hubbub. ‘Miss Lulu Belt' bus proved one of the biggest bon office pictures we have released . That it Is possible to make a big box office success and at the same time make an artistic success is evidenced by the extremely laudatory reviews given ‘Miss Lulu Bett’ on its opening in New Y'ork. "For instance, Alan Dale in the New York American called ‘Miss Lulu Bett' a ‘delightfully convincing picture.’ ami said that ‘nobody who has assimilated Zona Gale's novel will hesitate to praise the new film. It is an exceedingly good picture made from an exceedingly good play that was fouuded on an exceedingly good book.’ “Heywood Boun in the New York World said. ’William De Mille has -done an excellent job in his production of Zona Gale’s ‘Miss Lulu Bert.’ It is an excellent picture without lugs or (lewdabs and is worthy of your attention.’ “The New Y’ork Journal reviewer said; ‘Here is a splendid picturlzation of a fine bool; and play, a proof that character analysis can be transferred from book to screen, from screen to on looker,’ The Nw York Globe called the picture, ‘a screen masterpiece,’ and the

Evening Post said, ‘lf you want to see a good photoplay go to the Rivoli, where they are showing ‘Miss Dulu Bett.’ The other reviews were in the same tenor. "Too much praise cannot be given William De Mille for his direction of this picture. Not only in the numerous details which built up the picture, but in his preservation of the atmosphere throughout, ‘Miss Lulu Bett’ is a notable directorial achievement. And not a little of the credit for the success of the production should be givea to Clara Beranger, who did the scenario, and to Lois Wilson, who played the title role, as well as the other actors who made up an 'unusually balanced cast. “Striking evidence of the power of this picture is given in the repetition of one fact in a large percentage of the numerous telegrams we have received from exhibitors. The box-office value of the title has invariably been established by crowds at the opening showing In nearly all tneaters, the exhibitors report. but it also is true that in most cases the popularity of tlie picture has grown with each day of its engagement.

)kw Guinea /^Unexplored

RARAI, New Guinea—Dear Dad; This is going to be a letter on sorcery, for it is the one big thing in the life of a Papuan. Acording to the natives, no one here ever dies of natural causes. Death they believe, is always caused by a sorcerer. From Imanuel, a well-edu-cated half-caste, who is with us on this trip, I have been able to glean a lot of information on the sorcery' question. When a native wants his enemy to die he broaches the matter to a sorcerer and brings him some article which has been in Contact with the body of his foe—a bit of clothing, a lock of hair, a stick or shell he has handled. That is why no Papuan ever discards anything In the presence of another, not even the betel nut which he has chewed. The sorcerer pits this article In a tightly closed vessel and cooks it with

some charnt of his own. Or he sticks it in a length of bamboo with a stone or a shell or some other equaUy worthless rubbish and over it he speaks mysterious words. Then he sends his “client’" away No sorcerer does any- killing himself. But life is held so cheaply In New Guinea that usually he finis It Is easy to hire someone to administer the poison for him. There is a widespread belief among the natives that sorcerers can talk with crocodiles and snakes, which annually cause many fatalities in Papua. Snakes, In fact, sometimes arc en ployed by the sorcerer. He takes a piece of cloth or other article upon which Is the scent of the person he wishes to ki'i and puts it in a pan with a snake. Under the pan he kindles a fire The tortured snake associates Its sufferings with the human scent and when released upon the trail along which the intended victim Is traveling promtply attacks the per-

son whose scent la the same as that of the articles which it believes was the cause of its agony. If a snake or crocodile kills a native some sorcerer Is certain to start a report that th- killing had been Inspired by* him. $ lines merely a hint that the sorcer. .is decreed the death of a perron is sufficient to cause that person to die from sheer fright. •* • * TT THEN we were the guests of GovW ernor Murray at Port Moresby the question of sorcery came up and he told us of a peculiar superstition which exists t: a t lie southeast coast. The natives there in ve a charm in the shape of a so called “bottle,” consisting of a length of bamt ini, rudely fashioned in the likeness of a bottle, and accordingly as a man's bottle is “weak" or "strong" so Is he Inferior or superior to hia neighbors o- hts enemies. Just what gives a bottle Its "strength" not even the own-

He took j , me at my word'and gave me his bamboo] lone In exchange.” | If a man dies without intimating! , whom he suspects of killing him, his j relatives lay their plans to get ttils In j formation from his ghost. The usual i way to get Into communication with the ; .spirit of the deceased is to rob his gar- ■ j den, that being the thing that makes a I live Papuan angry. So It is believed i that the ghost comes to see what dam-

age was done to his garden. The relatives are hidden in the surrounding bush and listen fur the ghost to curse the man who killed him and made It Impossible for him to avenge the looting of his garden. Os course some person with a vivid imagination Is quite ready to vow that he saw the ghost and heard It name the slayer. Two precautions are taken on these ghost-seeking expeditions. One Is not to whisper, lest the ghost give chase and the other is not to mention the dead man's name, lest the ghost disappear and be seen no more. With the "slayer’s” name obtained the next step*ts to retain the services of a sorcerer and “pay back” for the death by bav fg him kill some member of the suspected slaver’s family. “Ilf are dong all we can to stamp out sorcery,” said the governor. “There are occasions, however, when we encourage what might be called benevolent sorcery, in that some of the old men

In some Instances whole villages have picked up and moved, lock, stock and barrel, to other locations. One village wheih Humphries visited three years ago had had three different sites .-Inee. Ia many cases sorcery la at the bottom of the removals. A sorcerer has cursed the village and its location and only by moving can the people get away front Its baleful Influence. If a sorcerer Is persistent enough and the villagers sufficiently superstitions he can keep them on the run indefinitely. Peculiarly enough, although they believe in spirits tiud ghosts to some extent. the Papuans are never troubled by
