Jjjj&ana Satis &itim INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. Daily Except Sunday, 25-29 South Meridian Street. Telephone—MA in 3500. MEMBERS OF AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. New York, Boston, I’ayne, Burns & Smith, Inc. Advertising offices Chicago. Detroit. St. Louis. O. Logan Payne Cos. Subscription Kates: Indianapolis, 10c per week; elsewhere, 12c per week. Entered as Second Class Matter, July 25. 1914, at Postoffice, Indianapolis, Ind., under act March 3, 1579. THOSE ARTISTS who staged a fistic duel in California overlooked a bet by not advertising and charging admission. EX-EMPEROR KARL left his throne to his son, Francis Otto Joseph. Now all Ot has to do is climb on it—providing Europe is willing. THAT $50,000 launch of President Harding’s can now' take it3 place with the gold plate we heard so much about during another President’s term. THERE WILL be no city hall slate In this primary, Mayor Shank says. He only hopes to see Albert J. Beveridge, Brother Carlin, William H. Freeman, William E. Reiley, George O. Hutsell and Edward J. Robison put over. Dr. Sanders Starts Wrong Dr. Jesse A. Sanders ot Garrett has elected to stand upon a lU°ra In his race for the Democratic nomination as a candidate for the Lnlted States Senate that Involves the eighteenth amendment in such a manner that no matter how carefully he veils his ideas he will be known as a wet. Os all the enumerable issues, foreign and domestic, that confront the Natioil now and which should occupy the minds of those seeking a seat in the Senate Dr. Sanders has selected one that has been settled and which has no part in the present campaign. -As the Issue presents itself to me, the American citizen must make choice between constitutional liberty under the fourth amendment or the surrender of that liberty under the eighteenth. I do not hesitate a single moment to cast my lot with constitutional liberty,” he declares. The underlying purpose of Dr. Sanders’ aspirations to the Senate presumably are contained in this significant statement which for obvious reasons he does not elaborate on: “I desire to make it known to the people of Indiana that primarl y and personally I have but small Interest in the subject of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes.” The sale and manufacture of intoxicants for beverage purposes are prohibited by tha .Constitution of the United States and yet. Dr. Sanders. In seeking a place wherein he will subscribe to an oath to uphold the Constitution, has “small Interest’’ In this problem of respect for the basic law of the land and the enforcement of its provisions. Either Dr. Sanders has been misled by those who have sinister purposes In view, or else he Is so Inexperienced in public questions that he has mistaken the lamentations of a few for the voice of the many as the side in a mad desire to hold office.

‘Clehn ’Er Up’ Week Once again we have with us the days of budding trees, robins, seed catalogues, golf fiends—and spring-house cleaning. Like everything else, spring house cleaning has been seized upon as a subject of a “Week.” This time it is "clean ’er up” week. Although we have had “weeks” and “weeks” to such an extent that we feel there Is something amiss when we are not having a “week, we should nevertheless not overlook “clean ’er up’’ week. This year the clean-up campaign Is based on something besides the idea of just plain orderliness aid attractiveness. Os course, these have their place, hut perhaps the newest idea will have more of an appeal to those citizens who are looking to their purses. The idea is that of fire prevention. Fire losses lij Indianapolis are larger than they should be, although they have been decreased through fire prevention work. It has been shown that most fires are preventable and that many fires start In trash piles. If there had been no trash there would have been no fire in many instances. “Clean ’er u&" week this year is a fire prevention week. Citizens of Indianapolis are urged to clean up the trash which may be a fire hazard. It is a mighty good idea. Spring house cleaning affords almost as much exercise as golf. Anyway, the ground at the links Is still soft. Why not get in trim by carrj lng the junk you don’t need out to the alley and have it hauled away. By that time your muscles should be In shape for spading the onion bed, after which you should be able to do eighteen holes In par. The Passing of a Hapsburg Karl of Hapsburg, or as he was generally known, ex-n.mperor Charles of Außtria-Hungary, died an exile from his native land and in poverty. The man who once had held sway over the polyglot millions of the former dual empire passed on to his reward, far removed from the glories of his court, a prisoner of the allies on the little Island of Madeira, with only his faithful but ambitious wife, the former Empress Zita, to comfort his dying hours. The passing of a Hapsburg, which at one time would have caused the world to pause, would have had an Influence on the markets and would have set political Europe to seething, was almost unnoticed In the day’s events and caused no more than a ripple of comment. Karl lost a good deal of sympathy the world often strangely holds for ex-rulers who have been thrust aside by democracy's march, when he violated his pledge to Switzerland and embarked for a second time on a mad but happily futile attempt to regain his lost throne. It was then, in order that the peace of Europe might not again be Jeopardized by a madcap prince, that he was exiled and, like Napoleon, he never returned. The world was disposed to look more kindly upon Karl than upon that other notorious exile, Wilhelm, for the bitterness that Is generally felt for the fallen war lord, was never directed at the Hapsburgs due to the universal feeling they were but tools in tlfe hands of the German leaders. Karl in death, however, may be able to accomplish what he could not do In life. His demise may serve to unite the contending royalist factions In Austria with the result that again a Hapsburg may wear a crown.

Paternalism and Excessive Taxes There la one thing that all the people of the world have held In common since the earliest recollections of man, and that is an inherent dislike for the payment of taxes. In the early days taxes were collected by force and really consisted of a tribute levied by the strongest in power and disbursed for their particular whims and gratification. There came a gradual change, in which some rights of the individual were recognized, both as to the amount of taxes that might be collected and the purpose for which the moneys were to be i spent. Some elements of justice entered into the problem, dictated not so much by the conscience of the ruling power, but more because of certain limitations of economic laws. We are at the present time confronted with the same elements which were present in the early days and which were responsible for the unfair methods used then. At all times the cause for unfair levies has been the same —class control and paternalism are the predominating influences making them necessary. Our national and State governments are top heavy with a multitude of boards, bureaus, commissions and committees. Over seventy important bureaus are overlapping each other in Washington; in addition there are Innumerable smaller bodies* Fighting like a pack of hounds over their quany, they work at cross purposes, raising a cloud of dust which chokes not only their own efficiency, but blinds them, and they accomplish little'or nothing. To reduce taxation, both in the State and Federal Governments, there must be a reduction and coordination in bureaus, boards and commissions. 4 That reduction can only be brought about by aroused public opinion. It must come from without; it could hardly be expected to come from within. The non-producing and debilitating barnacle will then be taken from the “ship of state" and our Government will return to its proper status and function normally. When the discharged governmental employes* thus get back into the ranks of t£e producers instead of being merejWconsumers, or they will assist in securing taxation based I upontual distribution of the burden.

SIAM SUE AND SALLY COME TO LIFE AT KEITH’S ‘Polly’s Pearls on View —‘ Peek-a-Boo * Arrives Tokio Girls Here

• Meet Little Slam Sue and Sally. They are Just two dolls, but with the “magic” melody of Lou Lockett and the dancing feet of Anu Linn, the dolls come to life at B. F. Keith’s. There Is something about the LockettLlnn act, called "At the Charity Bazar,” which won me over from the beginning. These two people have a clever idea for an act and they have a bunch of talent and personality to back up the grand idea. Lockett appears with "Slam Sue,” a little oriental doll, which he is selling at a bazar. He bargains with Miss Linn to bring the dolls to life. This they do with Miss Linn impersonating the dolls. Lockett knows how to put over a song and Miss Linn could teach many socalled dancers a great deal about dancing. The Sue” number with the aid of a doll Miss Linn is Just about as pretty entertainment as one could honestly hope to see. Lockett and Miss Linn go about their work in the spirit of real enjoyment and before the team knew wliat had happened, they had tied up the show with a solid hit. I am enthusiastic over their showmanship. They know when to leave the stage. They know it is the best of showmanship to leave an audience honestly wanting more. I never recall seeing Lockett and Miss Linn before, but it is real pleasure to see performers come on the stage possessing novel entertainment backed with expert ability and splendid shownmanship. I broke my nonapplause rule and encored this act. Harry Watson, Jr., Is present with numerous assistants In two playful things called “The Young Kid, Battling Dugan,” and the well known “Telephone Scene.” The act Is different than the regular run of headline offerings on the Keith circuit. Japanese playlets seem to be a passion with Valerie Bergere because she is back with a strange oddity called “O Joy San.” She has the support of Herbert Warren, Jason S. Kinslow, Violet Barney, Kffie Bordine and Harry M. Smith. It Is light entertainment with a touch of melodramatic pathos. Billy Glason needs new material because the act, if I am not mistaken, is similar to that used when I caught It | Ye TOWNE GOSSIP j Conjrright, 1822, bjr Star Company, j I By K. C. li.~ J Dear K. C. B.—Your repller to Evelyn and Josephine are truly masculine, i. e., you have missed the point. It Isn't that Evelyn and Josephine want to go where they are not wanted: they are merely exhibiting that Intensely human quality, viz., desire for companionship, which even you must have felt the "wiggles" of some time. “It is not good for man to lire alone” nor woman either. What difference does It makes whether it is a horse or a dog (and it could be a whole lot worse) so long as you accomplish the desired end? Do you suppose the ancient Olympian games, tho church choir, golf, or anything else was started for the purpose named? That was only a small part of It. It was companionship. Why does an animal select a mate? Companionship. There is nothing worse to my mind than a man or woman going through life without his or her mate and It is perfectly legitimate tor us to hunt for our mate with a horse or dog, a lantern or anv other Implement we choose.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

in a former season. The Aerial Valentines close the show In something which was supposed to be thrilling, but I failed to catch one thrill. Arnaut Brothers are musical clowns. Tholr “bird” whistling number sent them off to a grand finish. They are liked here. Alyce • and Lucille Sheldon appear in "Together Again,” which may be termed fair entertainment. The children will rave over Dashington’s dogs and cats. Jt is a good opening act. At B. F. Keith’s all week.—W. D. H. -I- -I- -I----AN ACT WITH A PLOT ON VIEW AT LYRIC. Heading the bill at the Lyric this week is an act called “Polly’s Pearls.” It has a plot, a novel opening ant! closing as well as some pleasing comedy and songs. It Is rather well handled. The applause honrs of the bill go to Evans, Mero and Evans, a male trio, and rightfully so. Tlielr act Is of the “Hnckelberry Finn” nature. Their harmony Is pleasing and tlielr songs are well chosen.

MOVIE HAS ALL DOG CAST Brownlo, the Century Wonder dog. as he appears doing the Tuesday Ironing In “Mutts,” a comedy using an entire dog cast. This unique movie Is ou view at the Lyric all week In addition to the regular vaudeville bill.

The comedy bits are wholesome. We especially liked tho effort tho boys displayed In putting tho act over. Adi.ms and Gubl are a misfit pair of men who have n fftunorous lino of cbntter. Jack Levy and the Symphony Girls, who have been seen at house In other seasons, are back with anew program of musical solutions. Le\y is a clever player of tin) W;te and he la ably assisted by the Syraphouy Girls. Bingham and Myers have an act based ou “studio stuff." The act contains a few songs. Some of their lines were a bit ancient but they seemed to please. The Roger Girls specialize In “Blua” songs which they put over nicely, but the act could be improved with a better closing. The Betty Anker Trio opens the show with some clever gymnastic work. Gordon and Hermaine c!o*e the bill with a surprise act called, "Fashion Plates of Fun." At the Lyric all week. -1- -I- -I----“PEEK-A-BOO” SMACKS OF SPRING. Spring Is here and It Is elrcus time. It seems quite natural to see a circus act in Jean Bcdlnl s “Peek-a-Boo" show at the Park Theater this week. No, there are no lions or tig rs. but we saw "the big top," the fakir, the strong Jawed girls ami the "world’s worst acrobats," the Ingratz Pluto Troupe. Mile. Hoop La. The audience seemed to have the circus fever be cause they enjoyed It Immensely. Then there was a touch of spring in the act of Corinqe Arbuckle, called "The Broadway Country Girl." Miss Arbuckle wore a gingham gown becomingly. She made it appear that Broadway wants the “corn-fed” and the “corn-fed" wants the limousine, the fur coats, the evening gowns and tho theater that Broadway lias to offer. Oh, yes, we saw “Milady’s Boudoir" and a girl lmmcrge from a glass bath tub with four French maids to help her Into a hoop skirt. Then “Milady” Introduced nil of her vanities, 'such as the mirror, the powder flowers, gowns and Jewels which weer represented by pretty girls. While this was going on, George Carroll and Billy Wallace kept the men folk In the audience posted byfunny bits or comment. Then there was a Turkish bath scene and a Persian garden affair with an Arabian dance, all of which were well mounted with expensive looking effects and costumes. A few of tho song numbers are as follows: “Opening Our Health Farm".. .Ensemble "Circus Comes to Town” -. Principals and Girls "Melinda" Margie Catline and Girls Comedv Song—"Waek" ...George Carroll and Billy Wallace "Welcome in Dixie”.. .Pieretto and Girls “Village Band” By the Village Cut-ups “Tuck Me to Sleep" Coriune Arbuckle “Jazz Wedding Medley” Bridesmaids and Guests Fun With Dice, Comedy Tricks Carroll, Bennett, and Wallace “Indian Bride" Plerette and Girls When we lets tho theater it was warmer out of doors. Oh, yes Indeed, spring is here. At tho Park all week. ... “THE CHARMING WIDOW" ON VIEW AT RIALTO. The Tokio Girls in “The Charming Widow” ia the attraction this week at

the Rialto. The show has a pretty opening with Japanese songs and setting. The story concerns the efforts of three amateur detectives to recover a pearl necklace which the widow has lost. Harry Moore, Ted Bryant and Williard Deyer handle the comedy situations. Babe Miller scores with her clog dancing, as does Frank Gerard with his songs and dances. Others In (ho cast are Diana Hyland and Essie Valvert. There is a chorus of ten attractive girls. The costumes and scenery are effective. As t popular priced attraction the show has merit. The movie portion of the show is devoted to a screen version of "Fifty Candlesf* featuring Marjorie Daw and Bertram Gressby. Tin picture has sotne interesting scenes, especially the one where the lovers are seen sitting in a park early in the morning, waiting to get a marriage license when the courthouse opens. At the Rialto all week.

I The following movies are on view toI day: "Our Mutual Friend," at the Alhamhra; "Turn to the Right,” at the Ohio; “Mdran of the Lady Letty,” at Mister Smith’s; “Footfalls," Monte Blue and To.ve Danor In person and "The ■ Spring Style Show,” with costumes supplied by H.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY For tho tilings which are seen are temporal, but the "tilings which are not seen are eternal.-—2 Corinthians, 4:18. In the old days of awe and keen-eyed wonder, The poet's song with blood-warm truth was rife; lie saw the mysteries which circle under The outward skin and shell of dally life. Nothing to him were fleeting time and fashion, nis soul was led by the eternal law; There was In him no hope of fame, no passion, But with calm, god like eyes he only saw.... Awake thou, then! wo pine for thy great presence To make us feel the soul once more sublime; We are of far too Infinite an essence To rest contented with the lies of time. —James Russell Lowell, j

How to Make Variable Condenser ,

BY R. L. DUNCAN, Director, Radio Institute of America. Constructing tho variable condenser Is the next step in the building of radio receiving set—and the hardest. But any reader following these instructions carefully should be able to make this part which Increases the capacity of the set and gives it selective tuning. For the loose coupler receiver described in these columns a fifteen-plate condenser is best. The materials needed are; Fifteen sheets of aluminum, or brass one-twentieth of an inch thick and about four inches in diameter. Sixty-four small nuts no bigger than three-sixteenths of an inch. Twenty-eight washers. Two pieces of bakelite, hard rubber or ebonite dielectric about four inches in diameter. t Four brass rods about four inches high and thin enough to take the small bolts. Two pieces of cardboard. One knob and pointer—hand of an old clock will do. One small binding post. One small machine screw. One piece of springy brass wire. Two bits of rubber. Take the cardboard and rule off pattern Indicated In left-hand diagram. Mark off with pencil on the metal. Cut eight sheets for the movable plates and seven for the others. The former should not be any large than two five-eighths inches at the widest point and the latter should be at least three inches. Be careful not to bend the thin sheets. Then take the two pieces of bakelite or hard rubber and cut to fit over the two plates lying in the position of the lefthand diagram. Drill holes for the supmovable platea ll > Diagrams for Variable Condenser. ports, making a large opening for the center shaft which revolves. Thread tho four supports so that tho nuts can be screwed on them. Attach the knob (two In right-hand diagram) and pointer (8) to support (4). This forms the center shaft on which the

INSTRUCTION MIGHT HELP Bawling Out Police Not Likely to Help, Reader Thinks. Editor of tho Times: If Shank and Armitage think the men on the police force don't know how to catch the burglars and holdup men of today, why don't they don a uniform and cap and go out with the men and show them bow, Instead of continually bawling them out, and trying to cost them their Jobs? It’s true. Jobs are scarce and a man would take most anything to hold a Job. but there Is no use taking advantage of him for that reuson. I believe if Shank and Armitage would care to give the men some proper instruction, some of the men would gladly receive it and appreciate It much more than they would another lecture. I believe there are men on the force who could fill the offices of Shank and Armitage while they are away and be Just as capable as they are. From a constant reader of the Times and a sympathizer with tho police force. Adams and Wells Having Oil Boom BLFFFTON, April 4—An oil boom is on Adams and Wells Counties today. Representatives of the Blue Creek OH Company, composed of farmers and representatives of another company, are In a mad scramble leasing land In Lancaster Township. Wells, and In Kirkland Township. Adams. Oil sand In (his territory Is said to be 130 feet deeper than the producing wells In the Geneva field. , According to statements of representatives of the company, the whole of Lancaster Township will be leased within the near future. Evidence Proves Something or Other MARION, Ind., April 4 Oscar McKinney, who operates a farm adjoining a reducing plant near Converse, hurried from the courtroom here after nauseating officials, witnesses and spectators at the trial of Lewis Brice. Price was alleged to have been maintaining a nuisance at the reducing plant. McKinney carried a “piece of horse llesh ho said he had taken from a small stream that waters his farm. At the sign of distress from the courtroom, McKinney removed the “evidence” and attorney’s objection to the presence of the "evidence” in the building removed it from a further consideration in the trial. Weidner Accepts $39,000 Payment RICTTMONP, Ind.. April 4.—Claims of F,d J. Weidner, former treasurer of Wayne County, against the defunct Milton '(lnd.) bank. In which ho was alleged to have deposited county money unlawfully. hnve been settled, it is announced here. Tt Is reported that Weidner accepted $39.00 to cover his claim for $50,000.

SUMMARY OF IMPRESSIONS IS FAVORABLE (Continued From Page One.) In the East, went on a great spending spree lu 1920. They not only spent, but they bo cowed without thought of the future. The whole United States seems to have been possessed of the Idea during that year that flush times would last forever. WESTERNERS A LI, . FREE BORROWERS. All of those people west of the river are fr.*e borrowers. The yare not afraid to borrow; they are not afraid to be la debt. Many of them, as soon as they make a little money extend their borrowings. The banks and the other lending agendo* conform their practices to this natural trait of their clients and customers. In one of the first States we visited on this trip the president of the largest hank, in the chief community, showed me this letter, which I think Is one of the most naive requests I have ever seen: Dear Sir: I am writing to you to see If you can loan me some money for some time. I am the son of of . I am a stranger to you. I have heard father speak well of you. Now, Mr. little money. I am going to farm with a farmer here on shares, and I want you to help me out in money matters if you can. I have been running around, and now I want to settle down to work. I am not afraid to work. I worked on a farm at last summer and got beat out of my wages except SIOO. If It was not for that I would not need any help. Father has lost hope in me, and I would not ask him to help me. I Want to make good and show him $ am all right. I wish you would not say anything to him about it. If you can help me, you surely will not regret it. Hoping to hear from yon, I am. Yours truthfully, LET HIM HAVE MONEY nE ASKS. I asked the banker what reply he intended to make. “Why, I will lend him the money,” he said at once. “He Is a good risk, despite wnat he says about himself. We probably will carry his paper In the bank for the next fifteen or twenty years, maybe longer. We have farmers’ paper in the bank now that has been here with constant renewals for twenty years or longer. Some years they come in and say they can’t pay the Interest and will have to have a litttle more money. The next year they will pay up. If they have a good year, or a run of two or three good years, they will buy another eighty acres of land, or perhaps 100 acres, and borrow some money to pay for it. It is not a bad custom in good years, but it sewed us up tight last year, when 1 everybody had become extended just on ! top of the fallingi demand and falling prices for farm prod-icta.”—Copyright, ! 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

and slip it on the center support, bringing it as close to the rop nut as possible. Tighten with another nut. Now turn your attention to the fixed plate supports for a moment. These have already been screwed into the bakelite. Slip two nuts and a washer on each of the three supports and then put your first fixed plate in position. You will notice that it does not touch the center shaft or movable plate at any point. This is absolutely essential for the movable plates must interleave the fixed plates without touching them. Secure the first fixed plate by tightening nuts on its three posts. Go back to the center shaft. Slip a washer on it, then a nut and put your second movable plate in place. Tighten as before. * Alternate between the movable and fixed plates until you have them all in place. J When you are certain they do not touch and that the center shaft revolves freely with its eight movable sheets, put the base bakelite in position. On account of the center shaft moving one way and then the other, solder a very springy brass wire to the bottom, and run it to a small machine screw (9). Then attach the connecting wire. Erect the binding post (3) on any of the fixed plate supports. Slip on your rubber supports (7). PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORY. Puss Junior and the farmer upon the gray mare went merrily along. Presently they came to the Jolly Miller beside the River Dee. ‘ The miller he grinds his corn, his corn, The miller he grinds his corn, his corn; The little Boy Blue comes winding his horn. With a hop, and a step, and a Jump.” “A beautiful morning,” cried the Miller. “Toot, toot:’’ went little Boy Blue. "How do you like my silver horn, To call my cows from the waving corn?” "Gidap!” cried the farmer, digging his heels Into the old mare’ side. “We’re gohig to the city!” And away they went, burnpty, bumpty, bump! By and by they came across a jolly teamster. “The carter he whistles aside his etam; "The carter he whistles aside his team; And Dolly comes tripping with the nice clouted cream. With a hop, and a step, and a Jump.” “Can you spare a glass of cream?” asked Puss, for cats, you must remember, love cream. “I will pay you for it.” Mistress Dolly gave a pout ‘‘Sir Cat, you shall have some cream, but not a penny will I take." Puss wiped his whiskers with his great silk handkerchief, curling his mustache at the ends with much care when he had lapped up the cream. “Many thanks,” he said, and the farmer slapped the old gray mare, said “Gidap!” and off they went to the city. “We are meeting all our friends,” said Puss. “That's a fine farm, too, for neighbor Jones takes good care of it, and his crops are large and his health is good.” And this is the way it went until Puss and the farmer reached the city. And when they had bought what they wished the farmer persuaded Puss to come home with him. The miller was at supper when they passed the mill, and little Boy Blue was home, I guess.
