MINSK PUIS INDUSTRIES ON NUISANCE LIST City Dads Consider Measure Introduced Last Night by Councilman Buchanan. AINCREASE PERMIT FEE Vacation Order for Firemen and Police Will Go Into Effect in Next Ten Days. An ordinance declaring a njimber of Industrial processes nuisances and giving the department of health power to bring suit for the removal of such nuisances to not less than four miles outside the city was introduced in the city council last night by Councilman Buchanan. The ordinance takes in destruction plants which would include the city garbage reduction plant in West Indianapolis, which citizens residing in that section are anxious to have removed. Other Industries declared nuisances were glue factories, renderies, tanneries, slaughter houses, foundries, hair preparatory or destruction plants, livery stables and fertilizer plants. Councilman Claycombe Introduced an ordinance to dlsamnex property between Thirty-Fourth and Thirty- ' Eighth Sts. from Tacoma St. to Fall Creek. This ground was recently annexed by the council, but the ordinance had not yet become effective. An amendment to the building ordinance was passed which provided for Increase in the fees on building permits. The amendment provided for a fee of 2 cents on each 100 cubic feet ; of new buildings, hollow sidewalks or additions to old buildings, which raises the fee 100 per cent. The minimum fee is 12. On Interior altera- ' tions the fee will remain at $1 on each Improvement not exceeding *I,OOO. A cammtmication from the board of safety questioning the authority of I the oouncO to pass ordinances providing for an eight-hour day for policemen and fifteen day vacations for 1 police and firemen, stirred up discussion and resulted in the adoption of ! a resolution offering to cooperate with the city authorities in putting both ordinances into effect within the next thirty days. Apointment Causes Stir Some little stir was raised when President Bernd of the council announced that John Zenor had been apointed to the controller's office as license inspector without knowledge of the council. Joseph L. Hogue, city controller, said Zenor had been appointed :n an effort to establish some system in the license department and also to apprehend violators of the licensing ordinance. Mr. Hogue said that already a large number of violators had been discovered and made to pay the fee. Failure to have a budget ordinance prepared resulted in the calling of a special meeting of the council for tomorrow night to consider it, along with the ordinance fixing the tax levy providing a $.114 increase over last year. Several other new ordinances introduced by the council last night provide for an increase in the salary of Ralph Jones, city court deputy, from $1,200 to $1,500 per year: for the accetpance of a plot of ground on the northeast corner of New York and New Jersey Sts., bequeathed to the city by Phebe J. Hill. An ordinance was also passed providing for the transfer of $2,165 in the board of public works to pay the firm of Winlnga & Carriger for mule hire.

If You Have Laughs, Prepare to Laugh Them at Miss Patterson

By WALTER D. HICKMAN If you go to the Murat this week, for goodness sake take your smelling salts with you because Elizabeth Patterson will throw you into convulsions. Our "Lizzie” (pardon the expression, Miss Patterson) wears a red wig, short skirts because she feels that It will "aid her career," eats charlotte russe by the half dozen and then, while practicing on & piano (one, two, three; one, two, three, sings tra la, la, la, tra la. Elizabeth Patterson convulsed me last night by her characterization of Lucille Purcelle, who has a New York studio. Miss Purcelle fears she was predestined tc be an old maid, but she never gives up hope of landing a man between tra las. AU this happens In "Girls," a comedy by the late Clyde Fitch. On the whole, this comedy is mighty thin stuff, but In It Elizabeth Patterson has a role which gives her a chance to make every one laugh, even the actors. I nearly disgraced myself last night by ‘‘howling." but I wasn’t the only one that yelled with joy at the work of Elizabeth Patterson. It’s a mighty good thing for everybody concerned that Miss Patterson is in the cast because this play hasn’t much weight. She makes the play. Another example of what a fine actress can do to a rather silly and ordinary play. So Elizabeth Patterson rings up another triumph and makes "Girls,” while she Is on the stage, really enjoyable. It seems to me that Julia Hoyt, as Pamela Gordon, throws the show out of gear by not taking herself more seriously in the first act. I know it is impossible to keep one's face straight while Elizabeth Patterson Is convlusing an audience. Miss Hoyt seemed to get hold of herself in the second and last acts. The cast includes Beatrice Maude, Lucile Nikolas, Clark Hoover, Wayne Huff, George Gaul. Walter Poulter, Aldrich Bowker, Myra Hampton (magnificent as Mrs. Dennett) and others.

MUCH has been said of the enormous stocks of gasoline in storage, but very little has been said of this storage as it compares to the number of cars in commission. Recent statistics compiled by the American Petroleum Institute comparing the number of motor cars in commission with the amount of gasoline in storage, show that there was less gasoline per car in storage June 1 of this year than at any similar period during the last 5 years, with the exception of 1920. Gallons Year Autosreg.Jml Stocks June 1 per car 1918 4,983,340 460,637,479 92.4 1919 6,146,617 594,035,688 96.6 1920 7,558,848 577,671,795 76.4 1921 9,211,295 800,495,787 86.9 1922 10,448,632 856,607,102 82.0 Average 1918 to 1921 , * * 87.2 Notwithstanding the feet that the crude oil production is very heavy at this time, the rapid increase in the production of automobiles and other automotive machinery has created a demand which already is greater than the increased supply. The current output of the several large refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) supplemented by the reserves now on hand, enables the Company to guarantee that the public shall have a steady, dependable supply of Red Crown Gasoline at its command. Because of its size, its progressive and efficient management, its ample resources, and unrivaled facilities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to provide the needful amounts of petroleum products to supply the vast demands made upon it. Its manufacturing facilities are planned to anticipate these needs years m advance and always are ready for service. Its constantly expanding distribution system is growing as the need for this service grows. ven in the remote comers of tne 10 states served by this Company, the dark green tank wagon is a familiar and welcome visitor. No matter how the production of crude oil has fluctuated, no matter how urgent the demand aor how limited the supply, motorists will recall that not once in the most stringent emergencies of the past has the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), through any fault of its own, failed to supEly their essential needs. This Company as every confidence that its future record of service will be equally satisfactory . Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111.

and prove that this form of entertainment Is still popular. Mills and Miller are two young men who have & comedy act, 1 during which they do some clever athletic stunts. It la the outstanding act of the bill. Lind and Treat are two girls who sing harmony songs of the better class. They have shown good Judgement in arranging their program. The Riverside Trio are three men who offer comedy and harmony song. The opening of their act is somewhat different from the average male trio. Ralph Whitehead is a character Impersonator. X couldn’t hear him from my seat in the rear of ths house, but his jestures were good and that Is the hardest thing for an actor to do. Lizzette makes pictures from varied colored cloths. The Four Diaz close the bill with a wire-walking act. A splendid bill this week. -1- -l- -1Musical Comedy on View "He Called Her Baby" Is tho title of this week’s attraction at the lUalto. The comedy is based on matrimonial troubles. Many song numbers and specialties are introduced during the show. Walker and Geiss, two girls who sing comedy and jazz songs and play the piano, have been added to the cast. Others who are featured this week are Wrennick and Downs, harmony singers, and Lelores Hart. Four of the chorus girls do a nautical dance.

crews of four men each have worked on this division on a basis of four days on and four days off. Ths new orders provide for six days on and three days off and only seven crews. This forces one crew onto the “surplus” or substitute list. Not only will the new plan make the clerks work longer, but It will prove expensive to them, they Insist. This is due to the fact that the per diem allowance of the government for clerks on the road is far too low to cover their expenses. Impairs Service, Charge The new plan will result In an Impairment of mail service is the opinion expressed by many of the clerks. “We have had all the work to do we could handle before,” on© of them said today, “and under the new plan it will be Impossible to handle the mall properly. When the present administration went into office we heard a lot about ‘humanizing* the service, but so far as the railway mail clerks are concerned the humanization seems to have consisted in piling more work on us and cutting our forces.” The headquarters of the fifth dlvlsioi/ are in the Federal building.
