GERMANY is collecting an Indemnity from our tourists. THE world gets better. Dempsey has called off a vaudeville tour. LOOKS as if our ships stop at nothing beyond the spree-mile limit. THE world’s champion grouch is an ice man kicking about the hot weather. THE Chicago baby show would attract more attention if the ages were 16 to 19 years. THAT aviator who lived on Florida grasshoppers should have no trouble in dodging autos. # THAT Ohio tailor arrested for bootlegging might plead that he had it for measuring hip pockets.. COULD there be a worse hot weather Job than recounting ballots cast for legislative candidates. ii - ■ ■■ ——- WHEN Fred B. Ossenburg, the Evansville politician, left for Atlanta prison, he probably was cheered by the knowledge that Charles W. Morse got out before the etffl of his term. . —— , WITH President Harding demanding the enactment of the ship subsidy bill and with the tariff and the bonus measures pending. Congress can see nothing but hard work ahead—and in the hottest time of the year. IT IS reported from Washington that Secretary of War Weeks may retire and that his place will be given to Senator New. If President Harding owes a job to any one he does to the Indiana Senator, for he went down to defeat largely because of his friendship for the President and' his policies. The Indianapolis Water Front Mayor Shank ana a crowd of city officials have come back from Decatur, 111., enthusiastic over tjje proposal to establish a lake in Indianapolis ; along the general plan followed so successfully by the Illinois city. There ; isn't a citizen in the city who would not be glad If an Indulgent Nature had bequeathed a body of water to this "no mean city,” and a goodly portion will be strong advocates of the mayor's proposal until they learn its cost j When the usual squabble over a site has been settled —for there are, two sites that engineers deem practical for the creation of the lake —and everybody has agreed on the one selected, the mayor will not find his path; strewn with roses in an attempt to obtain tlie money for the project. It will require unflagging zeal and leadership of the highest qualities to paint the benefits of an artificial lake in sufficiently bright colors to make it attractive to some of the taxpayers. A lake big. enough to provide boating and bathing facilities for thou- j sands of people would be a boon to this city that cannot be overestimated,; and its establishment would be a lasting monument to the man who con- j ceived the idea. It can be done—engineers are agreed on that—and the demand is at its highest pitch with the thermometer hovering near the top; of the tube. The mayor, while at the height of the enthusiasm engendered by his j visit to Decatur, appointed a committee to investigate the project, and seems determined to demonstrate the feasibility of a watering place within the confines of Indianapolis. It is to be hoped that his zeal will not wane, that his energy will not diminish, that his enthusiasm will not cool, until he can submit to the taxpayers concrete facts on which they can base a decision as to whether the plan is desirable or not. Thou Shalt Not Kill Death cars continued their ghastly patrol in Indiana over the week-end. A visitor in Indianapolis was run down and killed in a downtown thoroughfare by an automobile racing along at express-train speed, and the murderer escaped without leaving a trace as to his identity. A little boy was killed in the street shortly after Mayor Shank had offered a $5 prize for a slogan that will keep children from playing in the streets. At Logansport five persons in an automobile were killed when the driver failed to see or attempted to beat a train to the crossing. A speeding machine forced cars into the ditch along Keystone avenue and finally struck a motor bus, endangering the lives of sixteen persons. Nominal fines of the variety assessed in Indianapolis will not cure drivers who elect to give vent to their speed mania on heavily traveled roads and streets. Rock piles or prison sentence will check this recklessness, and the next Legislature should bear in mind the fact that laws governing wild automobile drivers are lamentably weak and lenient. Playgrounds—some of the fifteen taken away from the children by the city administration —would tend to keep youngsters out of the streets and out of the paths of automobiles. While municipally supervised recreation centers might not totally eliminate the toll of young lives, they would do much more toward that end than $5 slogans. As for the careless driver, he who wanders on railroad tracks without looking, or who attempts to "beat a train to it,” it is difficult to prescribe an antidote. They come to attention every day through the casualty rolls and despite the numerous grim examples, warnings and agencies that labor for their elimination there seems to be a never-ending source of supply. Perhaps the law' of the "survival of the fittest” will work its inexorable rule among this class, although the sad part Is they usually carry innocent victims to their death also. - Lasker’s Moonshine Supposing. Mr. Lasker, for the sake of argument, that you really have the right to sell liquor aboard American ships as you claim. Have you the right to sell "American Moonshine?” It’s listed, you know, among the drinks at 30 cents a glass board the George Washington. Even while this Nation was "wet” as a water-logged tramp wallowing in the trough of a heavy sea, making “moonshine” was a penitentiary offense. Do you really allow the sale of this illicit liquid "lightning” aboard your ships? Or are you just indulging in a bit of airy persiflage at the expense of our country? This, however, is not the only “moonshine” for which Mr. Lasker Is accountable. "So long as foreign shipff can onto r America serving liquor the lack - of that privilege might be the determining factor in the life or death of the American Merchant Marine,” says he. This may be a fact. And if it is a fact, every patriotic American can but be filled with profound regTet. But as an argument, as a piece of logic, as an excuse for allowing the law to be violated, it is thinnest moonshine. Obviously we can not allow the Government itself to engage in a bus iness in one place over which it has jurisdiction, and throw its citizens ni Jail for doing precisely that same thing in another place. Crime can not thus “be made a question of geography. Crime can not be crime in one spot and a praiseworthy act in another, all under the same flag. The whole principle is vicious and w rong and would lead to general contempt and scorn of all law. This is inevitable. No, Mr. Lasker, however terrible the |loss merchant marine would assuredly be, its death would be preferable, and more in beeping with American tradition, than for its life to be dependent upon what you say. Even though our rivers run dry and our gardens wither and die, our Government has no right deliberately to violate its own laws for profit while Jailing others for the same thing.

WALKER OFFERS HIS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT Good Variety Bills on View—Another Municipal Theater to Open July 3

The achievement of the present/Season and one of the outstanding accomplishments in the career of Stuart Walker as a producer and a manager—this rather lavish description can be applied without fear of very serious contradiction to the production at the Murat this week of “My Lady's Dress,” described in the program as a play' by Edward Knoblock. “My Lady’s Dress’—is not a play. It can better be described as a pageant. In its three acts and nine scenes are bits in the lives of people continents and centuries apart. In it are comedy and tragedy, the sordid and theTefined, love and hate, birth and death, everything that goes to make up life. The story, as the title would indicate, has to do with a dress. The numerous scenes are episodes in the making of the dress, the spinning of the cocoons, the weaving of the silk, the making of the lace, the shaping of the roses, the sale of the fur and the making of the dress itself. The scenes range from Italy to Lyons to Holland, to London, to Siberia and back to London. George Gaul and Spring Byington are 4n the leading parts. During the course of the action they each represent moro than half a dozen characters of as many types. In the first scene Gaul appears : as a Jealous husband of a refined family ! and Miss Byington as his wife. In the | second scene he appears as an Italian peddler and Miss Byington as a peasant girl. He next appears as a drunken but lovable silk-weaver and Miss Byington as the wife of a weaver dying of tuberculosis. In this scene Gaul is at his best. He Is' the carefree, kind-hearted French peasant, a part he plays well. The scene shifts to Holland, the time to 1660. Gaul appears ns the Dutch ! dandy, covered with frills and laces, and | Miss Byington as the daughter of a I Dutch merchant. This is one of the best scenes for Miss Byington, and Mr. Gaul has an opportunity to show his ability in a farcical part. A pathetic scene is the nexT in which Miss Byington 'appears ! rfs the little crippled girl who makes flowers. Gaul is again the carefree workingman. An entirely different scene is that in the Siberian stockade from which comes Ye TOWNE GOSSIP Copyright, 1921, by Star Company. I By K. C. B 1 THE FOUR-YEAR-OLD. WHO IS visiting us.

WRAY PLAYS OLD MAN PART AT MURAT

John Wray hasn’t much to do at the Murat this week In the play, “My Lady's Dross," but the short time he is on .the stage he makes his time count. He • plays the part of an old man.

the entire action is on the shoulders of Mr. Gaul and Miss Byington. There Is an enormous cart, but It is only incidental. | The parts of the principals are extremely iong and they are required to step from ! one character to another with bewildering rapidity. Miss Byington played two parts in one of the scenes. Mr. Walker is to be congratulated for the manner in which he is presenting this play aril the company Is to be congratulated for its work. The only deploratde feature of the entire evening was the i smallness of the audience. -I- -iRATS AND CATS ENTERTAIN AT KEITH’S. We who cover tha theater cannot refrain from becoming enthusiastic over a new Idea. So an act called Nelson's Tatlence j comes in for all the glory today. This j act is on sj'-w at B. F. Keith's this week j and the chief “actors” are trained cats j and the common rat. , i One of tic amusing features of this : act, is a “boxing bout” between two trained cats. The cats appear to enjoy i the romp. Oh. it is quite a fight. The ' common rat has been trained to perform by Nelson. It Is wonderful_what he ha* accomplished. Rita Gould, well known on the big time, is the headline attraction. She sings a number of individual songs and changes costumes for each song. She makes a tfnrtaln talk in which she discusses her war work and calls upon the people not to forget the soldier these I days. ! “Flirtation” is the name of a “boiled down” musical comedy. Jean Waters and Jack Diebel are the featured play rrs. , It 1s one of those light song and dance affairs. Waldron and Winslow close the show with a smart dancing act. Craig and Oatto offer some material which does not contain the necessary elements which makes an act successful mi the vaudeville stage. The movie feature of the bill is called "Free Air.” • At Keith’s all week. •!• -i- -y MANY FINK TOES NOW AT THE LYRIC. We waited expectantly for “Thirty j Pink Toes,” the headline act at the Lyric | this week. This act belongs to the “some- | what different class” and it Is really amusing. Wouldn’t think of relating what they do but we will promise that the patron at the Lyric this week will forget all about the hot weather when (bis act aprears. Sylvia Sanderson has' n merry little act with elaborate settings and pretty ms fumes. 'Miss Sanderson has a program ;of tuneful songs. Assisting her are two' young men who sing and dance. Mariow and Thurston present a piano and song act that may be heard for a second time and enjoyed. Tho girl in this act has a splendid voice. Hay Hughes and “Pam" make a strong bid for comedy honors. The act runs jto melody. The Kola-.Tnekson Trio, who I bill their aet as “Ten Miles In Ten Min- ! utes,” certainly lose > no time In living up to the speed title. The aet consists of two men and a girl who offer a variety of dancing numbers. A1 and Mary Rnyce do a song and dance turn and wind up their aet with a comedy lining match. You may as well make up your mind to laugh with Wamsley and Keating. The male member of the team Is a sort of a “nut” comedian. Harry Tsuda who opens the bill is a Jap

acrobat who does some difficult balancing stunts. The bill at the Lyric is well balanced and is tuneful -!- -I- -!- musical, comedy COMPANY AT RIALTO. The hot weather doesn’t seem to effect the “pep” of the musical comedy company at the Rialto. This week they are offering a light summery show with songs, dnnees and comedy bits. Several of the chorus girls are leading song numbers this week and are proving that

they can do more than the regular chorus steps. There is also a mind reading act added to the regular bill. This act is attracting attention. The movie feature of the bill is “Why Girls Leave Home,” featuring Anna Q. Niiison. As this picture has been reviewed In tills department previously It is not necessary to go into detail now. J. -i. j. PL.aN'S MADE TO OPEN SECOND Mt.NJCIPAL THEATER. I was told after the second act of the “mcllerdramer” named “Cail of the Woods” at Brookslde Park that the city will open its second municipal tbeaater at Garfjeid Park on July 3. Carlton Guy, who is in charge of the ! city owned theater, stated that he would J be able to cast the play better l ecauso ' be would have more players to dtaw from. | The companies will ploy both parks, the J companies being alternated eacfc week. ] This is the third week of ttie city ov. ned at Brookside Park and I uni ns- ' touished at the enormous crowd which at | tended last night's performance of Call |of the Woods.” This is ' frank" raeloj drama with the viUiun, hero and the poor. | but pretty little heroine. From a stand•point of merit, the play us a play doesn't come within a hundred miles of the open I ing bill, “The Man From Home.” j I recognized one point last night—the audience seemed to enjoy every minute of the p>ay.

Highways and By-Ways - of Lil’ OP New York By RAYMOND CARROLL - (Copyright, 1322, bj PablU Ledger Company.)

NEW YORK, June 20—This town has pretty well got the /‘hitchrack habit” out of its system, and no longer tries to park “tin Lizzie” where “Dobbin” was once tied. Any city is just as great as it tries to make life comfortable for everybody. Os course, there are folks in for the week end to do their “trading” and go to the “movies,” who still insist, but we have more than 270,000 privateowned automobiles, 12,000 taxicabs, 118,000 commercial vehicles and' 60,000 horsedrawn vehicles —altogether 460,000 vehicles of all descriptions—upon the streets of the greater city, which apj palling congestion him been its own cure j for widespread parking. | Everything in New York City heads i into t that portion of the little island of [Manhattan below Fifty-Ninth street. Here j the bulk of the “six million” work, and | here is where they have come to attend I the theaters, to eat in the gay restaurants | and see the midnight cabaret shows. Imagine what would happen if ajl those who ride to business each morning insisted their cars be parked in the open air "within a few steps” of ti.Mr offices during the day? Or consider tne fafusion that would result if all the theafvgoers and diners-out demanded a place for their cars ”up the street” from where they were having their enjoyment? Aside from the fact that there is not sufficient surface in which to make the experiment, just the trying of it would create a mess even Lloyd George could not explain, or Hdudinl wriggle out of. On Manhattan Island below Fifty-ninth street there are exactly twelve authorized parking spaces for vehicles with a total “hitch-rack capacity” for less than 2,500 cars. Perhaps you think the vehicles operated on Manhattan Island are some newfangled, collapsible kind, which can be eh coked with one's hat and cane. Where do the vehicles park? They don’t park. They turn in at some garage and there wait until time to emerge and take the folks home. Tn the greater city there are about 30,060 stables and garages. * Naturally, a great amount of time is lost and gasoline burned in doing "the two trips” and for the benefit of shoppers and the patrons of the "whitelight” district it has been seriously suggested to the city authorities that huge municipal motor caves be created under Bryant ! Park at Forty-Second street and Sixth avenue and the south end of Central j I’ark, with nominal storage charges for a | limited occupancy of these underground : garages. However, no digging has been begun. ** j Another idea is to transform Longacre ' Square aftgr 7 o’clock Intel a piaza exclusively for pedestrians, despite the helplessness of smart set members who insist they must be roiled to the very doors of whatever theater or “eaterie” they choose to grace with their presence. One of the most satisfactory thing that \ lias been done in New York was to segrej gate to certain streets to the usage of ! private and passenger vehicles, and designate certain other thoroughfares for , commercial vehicles. ! - When drivers of commercial vehicles are delivering and collecting merchandise, or ; transacting any other business, and proi vided such business requires several

LEGIONNAIRES HAVE CUT RATES Hotels Promise Low Prices to Convention Guests. NEW ORLEANS. June 20 —Doughboys, gobs and marines who attend the American Legion national convention in New Orleans, Oct. 16 to 21, may obtain a “bunk” for $1.50 a day, as a result of an agreement between representatives of seven leading hotels and T. Sommes IValtwsley, chairman, and other convention officials. The hotel men hqve consented to es tablish a rate of $1(50 for rooms without baths and $2.50 with baths. This rate is based on a minimum of three persons to the room. If the service man prefers to dwell in solitary grandeur he will pay $4 50 or $7.50, dependent on whether his room is equipped with a bath. All reservations for hotel rooms during the five days of the convention will be made through the forty-eight I.egion State adjutants, who will forward the reservations to the hotels and housing committee of the convention. Some of the most famous hostelries in the South are a party to the agreements for reduction in rates. Included in the list are the Gruneward, St. Charles, De Soto, Lafayette, Montelsone. Bienville and Planters. Legion officials obtained assurances from all hotel managers that all rooms, excluding those occupied by permament guests, will be turned over to the convention visitors.

stbps within a radius of five blocks, they can use any thoroughfare irrespective of class designation, otherwise they must enter and leave these designated streets at the nearest intersecting street. The exceptions to the street class regulations are fire apparatus, United States mail wagons, ambulances, newspaper delivery vehicles, and vehicles of licensed ians. ' \ Eleven streets are an the list exclusively for commercial vehicles, mostly north and south arteries of travel seldom fancied for passenger vehicular traffic. Not long ago New York awoke to the knowledge it was running its traffic in the streets upon ordinances far back as 1850, antedating even the forming of the greater city. One of these archaic laws gave the absolute right of way to vehicles going north and south. That is all right for Manhattan'where the main streets run in those directions, but not in Brooklyn ind the other boroughs that joined up in 1898. The latter had many important east and west thoroughfares. The north and south right of way is being changed to give the vehicle on the right the right of way. The speed of vehicles within the city is also being cut down from fifteen, twenty and twenty-five miles an hour respectively to twelve, flfi teen -and eighteen miles an hour. . By special police regulations there have been created 111 “one-way traffic” streets iin the borough of Manhattan. Ne vs- | hi le is permitted to stop with its left side to the curb, except on a one-way traffic street. metropolis the maintenance of, vehicular order in the streets '.s in a large degree left to the discret on and| sound judgmenet of the big, fine-pickea| fellows in blue uniform who are of the traffic force of the police. of these “traffic cops” along Fifth avenue have had their posts for a long time. “Jim” Nilan lias been semaphoring at Fifty-Eighth street for sixteen years; “Soldier” Kennedy at Thirty-Fourth street for ten years; Emil Spies at Fifty-Fourth street, and Dan Suliivaa at Fifty-Second street, each for mora than eight years. x “When I was a roundsman in way back in 1899,” said Lieut, Michael’ | Snyder today, “we had six men in Fifth avenue—two each at Twenty-Third, Thirty-Fourth and Forty-Second streets —and now we have eighty-two men altogether in the great shopping avenue sy,util of Central Park." (in Aug. 1 of this year will go into effect the "traffic warning card” system, finder which a driver of a car has five chances to “fail through ignorance” before getting the unwelcome fatal court summons. The exception is speeding, for which there is no mercy under the “thou shalt not kill” policy of the big town. There are about twelve minor infractions of the vehicle law which will get no worse than a hole punched in a driver's traffic warning card. What local car owners do not Eke about the card is that it must carry a plTotograph of the driver. I sup,pose all of this motor lore and vehicle law in the metropolis is of interest to the 11.00,000 automobile owners in the United States. As for ourselves, we still walk--and are doing our level best to keep off a slab at the morgue.
