PHONE WITNESS CHARGES WASTE IN PACT LINES Multiple Equipment Not Used to Capacity, Johnson Tells Commission, Asserting that service of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company at various Indiana cities was rendered more expensive by failure to use multiple-party lines to their fullest capacity, J. K. Johnson, expert witness, testified today at the public service commission's hearing on telephone rates and valuation of equipment. He said the Muncie exchange was one of several where four-party lines are used in cases by only one or two subscribers, who were permitted practically unit service at multiple-party rates. Johnson said 2,032 two-party and 249 four-party lines are not being used to capacity. Commissioner Glenn Van Auken questioned Johnson regarding general conditions of exchanges in the State. Johnson said they are in fair condition. Failure of E. L. Cline of Madison, one of the commission’s expert witnesses, to take into consideration the Bell method of paying employes “time and a half" for overtime work caused his testimony to be practically invalidated Wednesday. Cline had asserted considerable saving in operatorhours could be effected by the Bell by dismissal of unnecessary employes. W. H. Thompson, attorney for the Bell, asked Cline if he had considered the Bell method of reckoning wages on the “time and a half" basis. Cline admitted that he had not. He was excused from the stand shortly afterward.

LAW BROUGHT UP TO DATE Tax Assessors Lose Little Tim© in Including Modem Inventions. In most cases the law is years behind the times, but not when it comes to collecting taxes in Marion County. This year’s tax assessment lists include in the “household goods” schedule an item—“bulb radio sets.” There are enough of them to warrant including them in the printed schedule, Township Assessor M. L. Jefferson says.

Altschuler Loves Music But Enjoys Ice Cream

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. ICE CREAM is the dish that makes Modest Altschuler happy. How do I know? Will tell you I had lunch with this famous symphony conductor, who is now center Ing his attentions upon the Circle orchestra as conductor, at the Spink Arms the other day. While the steak was being served, he informed the waitress that he must have ice cream for dessert. “I like this American ice cream." he told me. Then came the cigars and the drinks, meaning the tea, very weak tea for Modest, and mighty strong black coffee for me. Altschuler lives a sort of a “down on the farm life,” meaning that he gets up at 6 a. m. He goes to his piano and for hours he is lost in study. Lunch means ice cream and then his departure for his day’s work at the Circle. This recognized symphony director is the first really big artist of his class to “go into the movies.” Years ago he conducted a symphony orchestra for “The Miracle,” a movie. Before that he made his first plunge into this field in conducting the music for “Pilgrim’s Progress.” As director of the Russian Symphony, Altschuler established himself. musically, in this country. “While conducting the symphony orchestra. I was reaching only 5 per cent of the people,” he told me. "I wanted the other 95 per cent so I went to the movie theater.” The same energy, study, care and direction which he gave the Russian Symphony is now being given to the Circle theater orchestra. On tour with the Russian organization he played one program for twenty weeks or more. “In the movie theater,” he said, “it is different. This week I am with Charlie Chaplin. The music is classical. Next week Igo right to the heart of that boy, Jackie Coogan.” -! -I- -IOn View Today The following attractions are on view today: Edna Aug and Marion Harris at Keith's. “Shuffle Along” at English's, Hazel Green at the Palace, “French Models” at the Broadway. “Hail, King Tut” at the Rialto, “The
