We Will Help You to Save Safely frfting? snt> Artist Company SERVICE BODY TO HEAR PHONE RATE PETITION Raise Asked for Year Ago to Be Argued Before the Commission. The Indiana Public Service Commission has fixed June 19 as the date for hearing ..f u petition filed June 28, 1921 by the Indiana Bell Telephone Company for a rate Increase. The request for the rates In the petition was filed before the eonolidatlon of the automatic and manual 'elephone systems which company offiials said then would result in a decrease in ibe cost of telephone service In Indianapolis. The telephone company was recently granted a temporary Increase following the consolidation. No action was taken on the petition when It was filed because of a desire on the part of ihe commission, it has been said, to complete a valuation of the company's property and bring about a basis for determining what rates would be equitable. I*ec. Id, 1921. a petition for a temporary increase was filed and a hearing was granted. Rates established under this order of the commission are now In effect. The petition of June 28, 1921 asks for rates as follov.s: Business unlimited: Increase. Business unlimited: Increase. Individual line $12.00 $3.00 Business measured: First messages *6.00 fl.oo \dditional messages 05 .03 Residence, unlimited: Individual line 5.00 1.25 Two party line 4.00 1.23 Residence, measured: No Increase. *l2O messages: t 90 messages. Telephone company officials say ft financial crisis exists and relief is needed. Since the ruling of the Federal Court In the case of the Ft. W :yne Home Telephone Company and the Citizens Gas Company, public utilities have established a precedent which takes away much authority of the public service commission. Various organizations which fought the temporary increase, it is believed, will fight granting of an additional increase. They noint out they have no recourse <ther . w ‘.he public service commission, I :p ,n Fet’era! Court only intervenes un < pr the i operty confiscation clause of j the United States Constitution.

‘At Last I Have You in Me Power!’ BUT THE VILLAIN STILL PURSUED HER Dime Novel Safely Braves Critics

BY NORA KAY. The paper-backed novel la still In demand, depsite the popularity of public libraries and adventure magazines. One need but wander into cither of the popular “dime and Jitney” stores to find a comprehensive line of tho old paperbacks, wherci nthe persecuted heroine, after being pursued through 199 pages by the wicked villain, finally emerges on the 200th page, safe and triumphant, with the hero clasping her In bis arms, drawing her head down upon his manly breast and murmuring: “Tut! Is that your only reason for thus refusing my love? Then let them send our trousseaus nfter us.” So they were married and, It is hoped, lived happily ever afterward. If they did not, you will never find It out In the paper-backed row, for in spite of their titles, nowhere in truth or fiction wJU you find wickedness punished and virtue rewarded and moral standards more strictly adhered to than in those misleadingly titled novels whose front covers picture a young woman, ar-' rayed in the style of the late nineteenth century, standing pensively on the edge of a pier, looking out over the water, and whose back cover (the book’s, not the young woman's) holds a full page advertisement for the ‘‘complete letter writer." The titles, one Is convinced nfter a more or less thorough search are as misleading as the names under which some wellkuown books came forth in moving pictures. Just imagine the wickedness visioned by "Ten Nights In a Barroom,” “The Tainted Venus,” “The Parson's Sin” anu “Maid, Wife or Widow.” Cecil De Mille would turn green with envy to think of having overlooked “Wife in Name Only” ns a picture title: and “Tracked by a Woman" sounds as if It might be the predecessor of the recent bigamy case where the too-niuch married man was trailed over land and sea by “The Wronged Bride,” which Is another of the 10-ccnt sellers. “Who reads those tales of lovelorn maidens these days?” Inquired a curious one. “Who? Why, everybody reads ’em,” said the clerk. “No, I guess we do get more calls from women than men. Men generally Luy magazines- the 'Coney Island,’ the ’/.ip Boom’ and those kind. But we never lack for customers among the ladles." “After all, what's a title? Take the Count of Monte Crlsto for example. The count himself Isn't here, but h's entire family Is. one volume to each. Judging from the titles, the count must have cither been a bigamist or had very bad luck \\'!h his wives, for we’ve got ‘Monte Crlsto and His Wife.’ ‘The Countess of Monte Crlsto’ and ‘The Bride of Monte Crlsto.' Maybe though, it was nil the same lady In different stages of her life. Then there was 'The Son of Monte Crlsto’ and 'The Daughter of Monte Crlsto,’ but ns far as I know none of his grandchildren has got Into print yet."

Then there Is Conan Doyle, creater of Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson. “The Sign of the Four," and “Beyond the City,” have already established his reputation among the writers of dime thrillers. Neither Doyle nor Haggard, Dumas or D'Enuery, whoso "Two Orphans," has been revived in Griffith’s latest picture, can compare, however, with “The Duchess,” Bertha M. Clay, Mary J.
