FRANK FARRINGTON is still engaged in his favorite occupation of defying the heads of the United Mine Workers. THIRTY RAIDERS overpowered three guards and looted a Maryland warehouse of its whisky. Sort of a rum rebellion! INDIANAPOLIS will certainly welcome that part of the 11th Infantry that Ft. Benjamin Harrison is too small to accommodate! PRESIDENT HARDING says the “farmers’ troubles are passing” and the several Republican candidates for the Senate unite in hoping he knows whereof he speaks! # BY THE time that Poughkeepsie man, who blamed his twenty-five-year prison sentence on “short skirts ” gets ouf the present styles probably will be in vogue again. PRICE FIXING Is more pernicious than bootlegging, according to Attorney General Lesh, and he might add that the price fixers are Just like the bootleggers in their defiance of the law and himself. Beveridge Hurls a Challenge Albert J. Beveridge, in an otherwise rather lusterless keynote speech at Ft. Wayne last night, maneuvered Senator Harry S. New into a distressing predicament when he challenged his opponent to effect a compact by which their campaign expenditures would be restricted to the amount fixed by statute. The public, whether it is interested in the political fortunes of either contestant, will watch with interest to learn if the Senator for whom Mr. Beveridge sayu “it is common report that already large sums of money bare been and are being disbursed,” dare Join in an understanding that "would set an example to the entire Nation.” Mr. Beveridge, grasping what is in the public mind, evidently feels that the stench of Newberryism, for which his opponent voted, is still too potent to permit a repetition of the Michigan scandal in Indiana and yet at the same time he undoubtedly has begun to feel the pinch of the elaborate organization working for Senator New. Mr. Beveridge’s chief chance for nomination lies in a personal appeal to the voters, while Mr. New is depending almost entirely on machine tactics to put him over while he attends to his senatorial duties in Washington. Nothing would cripple Mr. New worse than to have his organization reduced in its scope by the imposition of a financial limitation upon headquarters expenditures, yet that is exactly what Mr. Be\eridge proposes to do. Such an agreement as he asks would be unique in the annals of American politics. It certainly would be unexpected in Indiana, whCre the natives have been trained by recent Republican campaigns to expec* spectacular and well funded contests. Aside from hurling this challenge the keynote was largely filled with platitudes, subdued threats an i a tendency to plead, which will hardly accord it a place among those Important and masterly state documents Mr. Beveridge has been wont to give since he became a national figure: He made It plain that he wants to be a “regular,” that he Is counting upon the "standpatters” to support him, and evidently made himself believe this may be true when, in a burst of enthusiasm, he declared “all antagonisms are forgotten.” He evinced a simplicity of faith most uncommon to a man of his political sagacity' when he told his audience that he did not believe the Republican State organization is fighting him, or when he declared he was convinced that President Harding will maintain strict neutrality in a contest that is to settle whether the President’s personal friend and confidante or a former Progressive comes to the Senate. He strongly invited Administration neutrality as well as holding forth the olive branch to the standpatters when he pledged himself, if elected, "to stand by Warren G. Harding and not only vote, but fight for all party measures so long as that patriotic, wise and kindly man is President, which I hope and expect will be for seven years longer.” Paving Methods Strange as it may seem to business men and others who are accustomed to selecting the most economical materials for the purpose to which they are to be put, little attention is paid to such selections in the expenditures of the thousands of dollaro that go into street paving in Indianapolis. The law provides that four kinds of materials shall be specified by the city engineer and that bids may be asked on any other material than the four on the petition of the property owners against whom the cost of the improvement is assessed. Obviously, there is no advantage to the property owners who pay for these improvements in the laying of expensive pavements in localities where cheaper pavements would stand up under all the traffic to which they would be subjected. Paving a main street such as Meridian with a short-lived material would be folly, but no greater folly than paving an alley that is infrequently used with an expensive paving material. Os the paving materials generally used, wood block, brick and sheet asphalt are generally regarded as the most durable and consequently the highest priced. Their use is indicated on streets that are subjected to heavy traffic. Asphaltic concrete, cement concrete, bituminous macadam and rock asphalt are among the less expensive pavements that show proper endurance and economy when laid where they are not subjected to the heaviest traffic. A man would naturally estimate the traffic to which the pavement is to be subjected and gauge his investment accordingly. But politically controlled municipalities are not so particular, especially where the cost of paving is assessed directly against the abutting properties and the grand total does not show in the records of municipal expenditures. The tendency seems to be to lay the pavement that costs the most, jhether it is necessary to sustain traffic or not. Indianapolis has recently seen a difference of opinion between its engineer and its beard of works over paving specifications. The engineer regards the bids on certain higher class pavements as exorbitant and appears to have made good his contentions. There is, however, a grave danger that in the effort to avoid high prices on high class paving, someone of the lower class pavements will obtain a preference that will eventually leading to property owners paying too much for short-lived pavements, Just as they have been asked to pay too much for long-lived pavements. Only by permitting free competition among and between the two classes of materials can the price of either be kept within reason. The public will look to its engineer for just as strong an effort to avoid giving cement a monopoly as he recently made to avoid an asphalt monopoly. The American Legion Calls The high regard felt for the American Legion in official quarters was aptlv illustrated recently when, at the call of the chairman of the Marlon County council of the legion, the Governor, the Secretary of State, the mayor and a county judge assembled and willingly pledged their support to an entertainment the organization plans to give. Few, if any, other causes would have commanded the personal attention and support of these busy men. They accepted the invitation because it came from the American Legion and because they are in hearty sympathy with the ambitions and purposes of the former service men who have associated themselves to perpetuate in civil life the ideals for which they fought during the war. The legion, fighting with its back to the wall in behalf of adjusted compensation, commands respect and confidence everywhere and it has shown itself to be a worthy foe to those who for various reasons opposed its progress. The council, in its undertaking to supply funds with which to carry on work among former service men in Marlin County, can count upon the Fame unaniminity of support on the part of the public as was forthcoming from those public officials who, without hesitancy, pledged their assistance and gave of their time. ) < i

KARYL MAY LOOK LIKE A WONDERFUL GIRL ON STAGE But in Private Life He Forget s the Powder Puff and Paint

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. Magic 7 No. It’s art.' I saw a man—a rea| chap—become a “lady.” Not magic at all, • but years of real showmanship and training in the art of entertainment. Yesterday afternoon I saw Karyl Norman, known as the Creole Fashion Plate, become a woman. Let me tell you that Norman Is a real chap and a few minutes before he walked on the stage yesterday afternoon at Keith’s, he was longing to give an exhibition with the boxing gloves. Karyl didn’t know I was going to Invade his dressing room until I arrived at the theater. His mother, who is his constant companion, preceded his appearance at the theater yesterday. I told Mr. Eggleston, manager of Keith’s, that I wanted to see Norman bei-ome a “lady.” Eggleston tried to tell me it was done by cream, powder, paint, a pencil, a smile, showmanship, artistry, beautiful gowns and the like. I said “Yep, ’tis true, but I want to see it." “You are welcome,” he said. And I waited one hour. After forty minutes had passedj I said, “When is this artist of yours going to arrive?” Eggleston answered with perfect assurance, "He knows when his act is called.” And Karyl Norman knew. He arrived at Keith s about forty-five mtnutes before he went on. Eggleston explained 1 was there to see his transformation into a vampire. “Well," he said, “You see me Just as I got out of bed. T'nshaved and it will be twenty minutes before I make up.” I thought: Does it take only twenty minutes to become a dashing vampire? “Walk with me some place where I can get an egg malted milk,” he said.

KARYL NORMAN APPEARS AS A VAMPIRE

MR. KARYL NORMAN AS A VAMPIRE. Yon are all wrong. It Is not a lady. Far from It. He shaves and wears an overcoat. This Is Karyl Norman made up as a “vampire." He declares he does not like to be called “a female Impersonator,” but claims he is a character actor. This artist is at Keith’s this week. I talked with him y#s-i terday. Have told you all about it today.

I did. After his lunch tv© walked a block. We returned to the theater. He puffed at a smoke as 1 did. “I have twenty minutes to get on the stage,” he said. I followed Norman Into the theater. lie entered his dressing room. “I have to shave,” he said as he tore off his collar, tie, shirt and stripped to his B. V. Da. He tossed a dressing gown around bts body. Norman pulled on something which looked like black tights. Then silk stockings went over the tight effects. Yep, pretty garters were put on his legs. “I don't wear a corset, and when X do I quit the stage,” he suid. He grabbed a safety razor. His mother —one of those real mothers, not a stage mother—entered, shook hands with me and told her son that he had twelve minutes. “Don't worry, mother,” he said. The mother retired. Karyl shaved Just as every man does. That done, he produced a Jar of something which looked liite white cream “That's the foundation,” he Buld as he applied the cream. I watched him. The cream was placed over his face and rubbed In. I'hen It was treated. Something looking like light brown stuff was placed over his face. He took some red stuff and placed on his lips. A black pencil was used under his eye. Should say a black powder like effect. I saw his eye lash-s become more pointed The eyebrows became extended under hts nimble touch. He looked Into the mirror. I/it mother 01 rered. “I do not choose my gowns, ' ho said, “My mother does all that. I do net know what I ara going to have until I am fitted. How I hate to lie fitted. Fins being stuck Into one from a!! sides." And I added cheerfully, "and you can't resent it." “No, I can’t fight," he said. A representative came in, met roe. and took two basketa containing dainty costumes. They were placed in an off sta,;o dressing room. "Mother Is so afraid I will be late No chance,” he sill. His mother handed Norman s wig. He adjuated It. “Those two little hairs should be clipped.” she said. And they were. Off came the dressing gown. On went the beautiful dress which he wears on his entrance. Should have told you that the hat went on first. (The slippers had been put on a few minutes previously.) Over the gown was placed a wonderful cape. Norman walked out to the wings. 1 was with him. Ills mother previously had given him a glass of water. (One has to be careful with tha red on the lips.) Mr. Eggleston Joined na. “Well," he Inquired. “I have seen the transformation,” I replied. Karyl said, “I may look like a perfecr lady now. but Just give me a chance to put on the gloves.” I thought it wns n personal invitation. I tried to argue the nearest 1 have been to a fight was the Dcmpsey-Carpentler argument. “I am Jesting with Eggleston,” said Norman. “Next act." yelled somebody. "Goodbye," Karyl said. “Glad you came.” The music started. Norman walked on as the “vampire.” The capacity lionise applauded. Norman again was a hit. Nearly forgot to tell yon. Normaii* told me that he will mnrry Ruth Btidd, that dainty person seen tw Keith’s earlier in the season. The date is June 18 —the day that Karyl is twentyfive years of age. They met at a masked ball In Australia. Karyl wns dressed as a vampire and Miss Rudd was dressed as a sailor. It wns love at first sight. Now the wedding date is set, Karyl announces. And Karyl will wear a man's dress suit at the wedding. Really—he Is a real fellow. He uses the powder puff, paint and dresses because he makes his living that way. We enjoy and love him on the stage. In private life ho is is a real fellow. That’s Karyl Norman as I saw him both as real man and a “vampire” yesterday afternoon at Keith’s. ~ I like him. Don't you? -I- -I- -I----ON VIEW TODAY.
